Fighting you is like being in jail.

But! Yes! How could I possibly hold back something so funny!

Don't smile with your teeth showing!

If I laugh now, it will embarrass Lao Ba, who is crying his eyes out!

Does Gensokyo (Fantasy Land) even deserve to drain the ring?

How many dishes were there? How could he be this drunk?

etc.

Oh no! The atmosphere is getting a bit too tense!

丸辣

When Leng Chang noticed Yakumo Yukari's grief and guilt, he was immediately embarrassed and felt like he had caused a disaster!

But it doesn't matter!

As long as you pretend to be dead and then reappear to explain after she leaves, the emotions will have passed, and you'll be able to accept it.

Well, that’s it!

stomping on...

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind Yukari Yakumo. She ignored them and curled up, bowing her head on the sea of ​​data.

The familiar black leather shoes tread on the ground, creating ripples in the sea of ​​data. Short white hair covered her feet, and a red and white shrine maiden outfit appeared at this moment, with a large red bow tied at the back of her head.

His black eyes stared blankly at the tormented Yakumo Yukari on the ground, his lips biting together in sorrow as he trembled and said:

"Hey, old woman..."

"...

"Gensokyo has been saved."

"..."

"Laugh! Why don't you laugh! Why don't you laugh... Isn't this something to be happy about?"

Reimu clenched her fists, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled. A crystalline light fell before her, and she remained silent as if she were dead.

She asked in a trembling voice:

"What kind of protection is this... Is this kind of ending really necessary? We should have just destroyed ourselves... Wouldn't that have been better..."

The next second, Yukari Yakumo roared angrily:

"What a joke! What a joke! What a joke! What a joke! What a joke!!"

boom! boom! boom!

She slammed her fists into the ground, furious and resentful, and screamed wildly:

"Leng Chang was such a good person! What a joke! Why was he the one who had to sacrifice himself?!"

"Everyone helped me so much... helping me during my most difficult time with almost no expectation of return... but... but what did I do?!"

"How could I have done something so unforgivable—!!"

"No! No! I don't want this!!"

Yakumo Yukari roared at the sky in self-reproach, wishing she could kill herself, even someone like her couldn't bring herself to do such an ingratitude.

The intense emotions drove her to a frenzy.

Leng Chang: Playing dead... Playing dead... Feeling guilty and sweating profusely.JPG

Chapter 223 Look at what you've done!

After an unknown amount of time, Yukari Yakumo was at a loss for what to do. Reimu, standing behind her, looked up at the torii gate, but she could no longer see Leng Chang; countless fiber optic cables completely enveloped him.

Then, Yukari Yakumo slowly stood up from the ground. It was no use saying anything now; all she could do was convey everything.

"Reimu, let's go... tell the others about this place..."

After saying that, she left without looking back, not daring to turn around, because if she did, the sorrow would burst forth uncontrollably.

All she could do was tell everyone else what was going on here and accept their accusations and anger.

After Yukari Yakumo left with Reimu and the others, Reijo, who was on the torii gate, secretly peeked out and, finding that no one was there, quickly climbed out from among the countless fiber optic cables.

"Hiss... How do we clean this up now?"

"No! How could I feel so guilty? Hehehehe!"

"It'll be more interesting if I pop up with a frog jump and make a mocking move after Lao Ba apologizes to everyone!"

"Yo! That's what we'll do!"

Leng Chang's eyes lit up with unprecedented anticipation, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

......

A comprehensive view of the world.

Madoka Kaname was still keeping an eye on the situation in Gensokyo, but when she didn't see Leng Chang's reply, she didn't pay much attention and went to prepare dinner instead.

Inside the villa, she prepared a large table of dishes, with various cuts of beef and mutton, and a hot pot in the middle of the table, with sukiyaki as the base.

Ding Dong!

Suddenly hearing the doorbell ring, Madoka Kaname patted her hands dry on her apron and hurried toward the front door.

"Coming."

When the door was opened, the first thing you saw was Yukari Yakumo and Reimu kneeling on the ground, their heads bowed, not daring to look at Madoka Kaname who had opened the door.

"I'm sorry... Xiaoyuan... It's all my fault. Leng Chang can't come back... He asked me to give you a message: 'He owes you and Xiaoyan a dinner.'"

"?"

Madoka Kaname's eyes flashed with confusion, realizing she didn't quite understand the situation.

No? It's just a meal, isn't it?

Is such a formal apology really necessary?

Could it be that... poor Lao Ba was tricked by Leng Chang?

Although I don't understand what happened, considering Leng Chang's personality and actions... it's quite possible.

Realizing the situation, Madoka Kaname sighed helplessly and said earnestly, "It's okay, I was prepared for this."

“…”

These words struck Yakumo Yukari like a hammer blow, leaving her feeling suffocated like never before.

Suddenly, Madoka Kaname said with a sigh:

"After all, we are an organization that saves the world, so we were already mentally prepared for this kind of thing. If it were me, I would have done the same."

Well, after all, you can't come back for dinner while saving the world, can you?

Unfortunately, I prepared a huge table of dishes, but it was too much for me.

She frowned and looked back regretfully at the large table of dishes, then smiled wistfully and helplessly.

However, she did not notice that when Yakumo Yukari looked up with her last bit of courage, her pupils contracted when she saw the large table of food on the living room table, and an indescribable pain gripped her heart.

thud

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

Yakumo Yukari kowtowed to the ground, making a heavy thud.

Startled by the scene, Kaname Madoka leaned back and anxiously asked, "Are you alright? I'm fine. Since Leng Chang isn't coming back, let's sit down and have something to eat together?"

“…”

Damn me!

Yukari Yakumo cursed herself in resentment, wishing she could slap herself to death, and felt even more resentful when she thought of Leng Chang.

"No...no need, I...I'm sorry."

She stood up unsteadily, and Reimu behind her quickly helped her up.

Then, the two said goodbye with remorse, and Madoka Kaname left in a desolate manner.

Madoka Kaname was left staring blankly, scratching her head in confusion and saying...

"It's just that he won't be home for dinner, is it really that big of a deal?"

Then she closed the door and turned around, only to see Leng Chang standing next to the table with a happy expression.

Leng Chang couldn't wait to turn on the stove and wait for the sukiyaki to boil, and even sneaked a snack.

"Sukiyaki for dinner! Yay!"

"No? Weren't you not coming back for dinner?" Kaname Madoka was even more confused, staring blankly at the cheerful Leng Chang.

Yukari Yakumo just said she wasn't coming back, but she's back in the blink of an eye?

play?

"This is a long story..."

"Then let's make a long story short."

"It's hard to describe in words."

"Don't tell me!"

"Tell me, tell me, tell me!"

Then Leng Chang explained what had happened before and the situation in Gensokyo.

Upon learning the situation, Madoka Kaname's eyes widened in disbelief as she blinked, asking:

"So... when Lao Ba was completely helpless, you helped her, but forgot to explain the situation and she just assumed you were dead?"

"That's what I said."

"Then explain!"

"I just felt the atmosphere was too intense, and I was embarrassed about how to explain it."

“…”

As expected of Twitch!

Kaname Madoka looked at Leng Chang's expression, which was three parts evil, three parts expectation, and four parts joy, and felt speechless. Then she pinched her chin and recalled her own performance just now.

His eyebrows twitched, then furrowed tightly, twisting into a pretzel shape.

It seems, maybe, probably... her reaction just now dealt an even greater blow to Yakumo Yukari.

Let's re-examine the situation.

Yukari Yakumo: Reijo died to save Gensokyo.

Madoka Kaname: I understand, I was prepared for this.

Yukari Yakumo: I'm sorry.

Madoka Kaname: It's okay. I would have done the same if I were in your shoes.

Yukari Yakumo: I'm really... sorry.

Madoka Kaname: Let's not say anything, let's have a meal together, since he's not coming back.

Yukari Yakumo: ...

Holy crap! What kind of devastating, psychologically devastating attack is this?!

Kaname Madoka covered her face in horror, her eyes wide, feeling like she was about to fly away. This misunderstanding was huge.

"Damn it! Look what you've done!"

he--!
