The afterlife blew up Gensokyo
Page 225
However, given the characteristics of that demon race, blending into the human population shouldn't be particularly difficult.
More than 100 years have passed since then. The Dream Pavilion that he destroyed has been rebuilt. When he and Yuuka Kazami arrived at the Dream Pavilion on the mountaintop, the scene they saw was Ellie and the sisters, Yumezuki and Gengetsu, playing cards in front of the Dream Pavilion.
Beside the pair of demon sisters, a dozen or so newspapers published by the Demon Mountain were scattered about.
"Lady Yuuka, you're finally back?"
Upon seeing the true master return, Ellie hurriedly stood up, leaning on her scythe, trying to maintain her professional conduct as a gatekeeper in front of Kazami Yuuka.
"……Um."
After staring silently at the white paper strip that almost completely covered Alice's face for a while, Kazami Yuuka nodded and turned to look at the pair of demon sisters beside her.
Dream Moon, Phantom Moon, is a being born from the union of a demon and an angel. Unlike Dream Moon, who only inherited the power of a demon, Phantom Moon possesses the power of both a demon and an angel, making her far stronger than her younger sister.
However, when facing Kazami Yuuka, the two sisters showed completely different reactions. Yumezuki, who was forced by her older sister to wear a maid outfit, still had that poker face with no expression, standing there and meeting Kazami Yuuka's gaze without expression. Gengetsu, on the other hand, looked much more fearful, and others could see at a glance the great fear she had for Kazami Yuuka.
—Of course, the white paper strips stuck to their faces at this moment perfectly ruined the atmosphere.
"Do you want to go back for revenge?"
After glancing at the Dream Mansion behind them, Kazami Yuuka looked away again, her expression calm.
"There's no need to hide in some dark, nameless dream world anymore. Instead, we should seek revenge against the very thing that drove you to this point, causing your families to be destroyed."
"You mean...you want to avenge us?"
A head peeked out from behind her younger sister, Huan Yue looked surprised, and then quickly spoke.
"Actually, it wasn't entirely necessary. After all, so many years have passed... Besides, our enemy is the entire Western world's power. Even if you're strong, you can't do that, right? Mengyue and I think this kind of life is pretty good. Playing cards, reading newspapers—there are so many more ways to pass the time compared to before..."
Under the indifferent gaze of Kazami Yuuka, the demon's voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared completely.
Seeing this scene, Shi Bai became even more curious. So what exactly did Kazami Yuuka do to Gengetsu?
"These are not issues you need to worry about. I just want to ask you one question: do you want revenge or not?"
Kazami Yuuka spoke calmly.
"Uh... of course I want revenge!!"
Under the oppressive gaze of her natural enemy, Huan Yue nodded rather insincerely.
In fact, after so many years, her once intense desire for revenge has faded considerably, and there are many reasons for this.
On one hand, she faced not just one or two enemies, but the entire power of the Western world, and she saw no hope of successful revenge. On the other hand, she was also worried: if their whereabouts were exposed, her own death was irrelevant, but what would happen to her sister?
Actually, life like this is pretty good. I can tease my younger sister whenever I want, and learn about interesting stories and world events through the newspaper without leaving the house. All sorts of interesting and novel things to amuse myself with are constantly appearing in the newspaper...
Isn't this kind of carefree life wonderful? After all, a simple and peaceful life is the best. As for considering unrealistic revenge or anything like that... Huan Yue felt that it was completely meaningless.
“Very well, then you and your sister can accompany him to the Western world. I’m a little worried if there’s no one to take care of him. A maid would be fine, though.”
After glancing at the twin demon sisters in front of her and leaving behind these words, Kazami Yuuka walked into the Dream Mansion on her own.
"By the way, you'll have to fulfill any of his requests along the way."
"Wait, any, any requests?"
She hurriedly called out to Kazama Yuuka, and Gengetsu spoke in a slightly flustered manner.
"If he asks us to do something special, we have to..."
Unfortunately, Kazami Yuuka showed no sign of stopping. Before she could even finish her sentence, she had already disappeared into the Dream Mansion, with Ellie, wielding a scythe, following closely behind.
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
Shi Bai looked completely bewildered.
"...No, it's nothing."
Looking back at the other person, Huan Yue forced a smile, and then quickly tore off the white paper strips from her face before releasing herself from the restraints and control over her younger sister, Meng Yue.
"...Why won't you let me speak?"
After finally regaining her freedom, Mengyue calmly and collectedly tore off the white paper strip from her face and turned to look at her sister with a blank expression.
"We have absolutely no right to listen to her. What gives her the right to order us around?"
"Just because she's so much stronger than us, that's enough. Why do you think we've been stuck in this godforsaken place for hundreds of years? Isn't it because we're too weak?"
With a slight pout, Huan Yue appeared quite self-righteous in the face of her younger sister's questioning.
"If we don't keep you under control, who knows what you'll do? Even if the two of us combine our strengths, we can't beat her. Discretion is the better part of valor, okay?!"
"Even if you don't do it, I won't do it. I'm not an idiot."
With her face still expressionless, Mengyue turned her head to look at the person leaning against the wall, reading the newspapers scattered on the ground, and spoke calmly.
"That was a newspaper from decades ago. Since that great barrier was established, no monster has been able to escape from it, including the tengu in the Monster Mountain."
"Hmm? I know, after all, the date is marked here..."
Shi Bai rolled up the newspapers in his hands and stood up straight.
"Alright, I think Yuuka has already told you the details. After all, you belong to the Dream Mansion faction, and I can't just stand by and watch you get bullied without standing up for you... Oh, right."
As if he had just remembered something, Shi Bai solemnly held up a finger in front of him.
"To be honest, it was Yuuka who brought up the idea of avenging you. At first, I didn't think about you; I just wanted to help that fallen angel get his wages back… Don't let Yuuka's cold demeanor fool you; she's warm-hearted and has always kept your affairs in mind. To put it more strictly, Yuuka is actually a bit of a jerk…"
Before he could finish speaking, a floor tile that flew from inside the Dream Pavilion hit him with incredible accuracy on the head. With a muffled thud, he was knocked to the ground by this miraculous blow.
Mengyue: "..."
Huan Yue: "..."
"Ellie, pick up the floor tiles and lay them back up later."
Inside the Dream Pavilion, Kazami Yuuka's usual cool voice rang out, but compared to before, her voice now carried a distinct hint of embarrassment and anger.
"Hmm... I finally understand why the gatekeepers of the Dream Mansion habitually use the Dream Mansion's floor tiles to attack... Did they learn it from the owner of the Dream Mansion?"
Lying sprawled on the ground, gazing up at the sky, someone nodded with a profound expression.
"So, if that's the case, it seems like Yuuka's cuteness attribute could actually be added..."
Before the words were even finished, another floor tile flew out from inside the Dream Pavilion.
P.S.: Good morning!
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Gospels (End of this volume)
Demon world.
Although the gate to the Demon Realm has long been closed due to various factors, entering the Demon Realm is not too difficult for Shi Bai.
Shi Bai had read about the events that had occurred in the Demon Realm in the newspapers scattered on the ground beforehand, so he didn't have any expectations for this trip to the Demon Realm.
However, to his surprise, the Demon Realm was far more lively than he had imagined.
On the vast, desolate plains once littered with the ruins of Vigna, one building after another has risen to form a new city. The city's builder was clearly a master architect, as everything was meticulously planned and executed.
Although it was winter in the outside world, the Demon Realm was lush with green trees and grass, and a clean road, made of some unknown material, stretched straight into the distance... just like a paradise.
“A place like this…”
Staring wide-eyed at everything before her, Huan Yue couldn't help but appear slightly lost in thought.
In her past experiences of fleeing across the ocean with her sister, she had very little experience due to the need to be wary of potential pursuers. After discovering the nameless dream world, she stayed there for hundreds of years without ever leaving the house. Now that she has arrived in a completely new hell that she has never seen before, it is only natural that she would be in a daze.
"I didn't expect that Shenqi has developed the Demon Realm to this extent? It seems that these demons are progressing very quickly..."
Nodding thoughtfully, Shi Bai turned to look at the pair of demon sisters following behind him.
"By the way, do you know Sally?"
"Sariel? The most powerful archangel under God?"
Upon suddenly hearing this name, Huan Yue's expression clearly changed slightly.
"Legend has it that this archangel walked the earth on behalf of God, spreading the gospel of God, and is an eternally and absolutely holy being..."
"Want a ride? I'll only charge 100 yuan to get to the Demon City. Want to hop in?"
Before Huan Yue, with a solemn expression, could finish her sentence, a race car with an aesthetically pleasing, streamlined design drifted gracefully and stopped beside them. The driver, wearing sunglasses, poked his head out from the driver's seat.
"A veteran driver with a century-long history, having won awards in numerous competitions, absolutely trustworthy... uh..."
"Hey you, have you changed jobs again?"
Looking at the fallen angel sitting in the race car in front of him, Shi Bai pressed his forehead with a sigh, somewhat speechless.
The last time I came to the Demon World with Yuuka Kazami, the other party was a cult leader who had spent all his wealth to build a Fallen Temple, but had not eaten for months because he had no followers.
This time was a little better than the last, but he's completely transformed into a seasoned pro... Speaking of which, this fallen angel's daily life in the demon realm is quite eventful...
"Sigh, what can you do? You have to make a living."
Taking off her cheap sunglasses, Sally looked on with a sigh, then glanced at the two customers she had been trying to attract earlier, and asked Shi Bai with a slightly puzzled expression.
"Were these two demons with you? I mean, it's strange that demons have entered the demon realm before. By the way, where is my appointed archbishop? Why isn't she with you?"
"Wait, wait a minute, you, you are the legendary walking gospel, the purest and most holy one..."
With a hint of disbelief on her face, Huan Yue pointed at Sariel in front of her, her voice trembling with shattered illusions.
"Hmm? So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Is there still anyone who can recognize me?"
After a slight pause, Sariel glanced at Phantom Moon and Dream Moon a couple more times, then suddenly realized what was going on.
"So that's why there are demons here. Turns out they're those two little guys who escaped back then... What, do you want to join the demon realm too?"
"But, but you are not..."
The huge gap between fantasy and reality made Huan Yue stutter.
What kind of being is the other party? That is the walking gospel, the legendary strongest battle angel. Although she anticipated that she would inevitably meet the other party again when she returned to the West, it should be in a solemn and sacred church to welcome the descent of God, not in a place like this where she saw the other party looking like... to be honest, she didn't know how to describe it.
"Alas, the past is too painful to recall, there's no need to mention it again. Those are all things of the past. The years gone by are like flowing water; no matter how tightly you grasp them, they will slip through your fingers..."
Sally glanced at Shi Bai without leaving a trace, sighed softly, and put her cheap sunglasses back on, her face serious.
"It is fate that we have met. Get in the car, I will take you to the very center of the Demon Realm."
"These race cars are only for one person, right? How are you going to bring someone along?"
Shi Bai shook his head with a slight chuckle, too lazy to expose the other party's pretense. Instead, he pointed at the race car and asked Sally's question.
These racing cars from QQ Speed are definitely the best means of transportation and toys, as they are not only easy to operate but also incredibly exciting.
After the system was reactivated, the previously limited number of racing cars became an unlimited supply. He, who was heartbroken when his dozens of collectible racing cars were dismantled by Shen Qi, can now pull out a whole bunch of A and B cars without batting an eye.
However, despite this, these racing cars were not so common that he didn't have the time to draw them one by one. After giving each of the likes, including the succubus and the others, he only kept a dozen or so racing cars in the Demon Realm as supplies for when necessary.
He also learned a lot from a certain company, and he created a lottery for the extra racing cars. After spending a certain amount of money, you could have a chance to win permanent racing cars and limited-time racing cars from the pile of prizes. The sales were extremely hot.
After so many years of changes, the price of these racing cars has been driven up to a very high level. However, over the past few hundred years, the number of lucky people who have been able to win a permanent racing car is extremely small, and they are all B or C cars.
When these racing cars were being distributed, Sariel happened to be present, so Shi Bai also gave her a B-class car as well. If you ignore the Fallen Temple, which looked magnificent but was actually useless, that permanent racing car was actually the most valuable thing Sariel owned...
From this perspective alone, this fallen angel is actually quite business-minded.
"It's okay, I can cut in line!"
With a blink, Sally's composure crumbled in an instant. After getting out of the carriage, she pulled out a horse-drawn carriage from what appeared to be a temporary parking lot by the roadside, her face full of confidence.
"My race car is much more convenient and faster than a horse; you definitely won't be at a disadvantage!!"
Phantom Moon/Dream Moon: "..."
..................................................................
It must be said that Sally's speed is quite impressive, befitting a veteran driver who has been on this route for 100 years.
Unfortunately, vehicles are not yet common in the Demon Realm, otherwise the three people in the carriage might have been lucky enough to witness a chase race...
After passing through an endless, snow-covered, frozen world, when the demon sisters Mengyue and Huanyue stepped off the carriage and their feet touched solid ground again, it felt as if they were walking on cotton.
Throughout the entire process, as Huan Yue watched the legendary walking Gospel being driven by the strange prop that served as a horse, she remained in a daze. To put it simply, she still couldn't accept the reality before her.
Why did she and her sister hide in that nameless dream world all this time, afraid to leave? It was because they feared that the legendary walking Gospel, the strongest battle angel in history, would find them. But now…
Seeing Sallyel, who was quite self-righteously reaching out to the man for fare not far away, Huan Yue was speechless.
