A super great writer in the second dimension

　Yukari Yakumo is here, which means Gensokyo is here too.

　The world isn't actually devoid of superpowers; they're just hidden from view, and this woman in front of us is the best proof of that.

　Eternal Boundary Demon, Youkai Sage Yakumo Yukari.

　At this moment, Yukari Yakumo sat in Arashi Sanzenin's seat, looking at him calmly. After pondering for a moment, she said, "You have to abide by the basic law. Why are you playing the game of world domination? It has a huge impact on us."

　Sanzenin Arashi frowned, feigning knowledge, and said, "I remember Gensokyo is a place completely isolated from the world, where people never come into contact with anyone from the real world, living in absolute seclusion, right?"

　Yakumo Yukari immediately narrowed her eyes.

　"It seems you know quite a bit, outsider."

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled faintly, "Sage of the Yokai, you've appeared here, surely you have something to discuss with me?"

　Yukari Yakumo nodded...

　pat!

　Sanzenin Arashi snapped her fingers. "Of course, no problem. Helping each other is the best approach. Tell me what it is, and then we can discuss it further."

　Yukari Yakumo was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

　Possessing the power to create things out of thin air, she seems like a very formidable opponent. In fact, she was already prepared for a fight.

　However, Sanzenin Arashi's current attitude of "we can discuss this properly" made this woman, who had lived for countless years, feel as if she had punched empty air.

　"You know Tokugawa Sanae, right...?"

　"Of course, she's a star I'm signed with. Are you going to tell me that this person is actually Sanae Kochiya?"

　Yukari Yakumo nodded. "Yes..."

　"Uh...?" Sanzenin Arashi was stunned, momentarily taken aback. He had just blurted out something that turned out to be correct.

　Immediately after, Yukari Yakumo pouted, "I wanted to create a place where both superpowered individuals and youkai could live well, and I took inspiration from your movie, but now I've realized things aren't that simple, so I wanted to ask you for help."

　With this person's ability to create things out of thin air, establishing a settlement would be no problem at all.

　Sanzenin Arashi figured out the other party's plan after only a short thought.

　"I see. So, Gensokyo hasn't been established yet?"

　"Huh?" Yukari Yakumo frowned. "What do you mean by establishing it or not? This is just my guess..."

　“No problem.” Sanzenin Arashi readily agreed. “Whether it’s building Gensokyo or helping you recruit residents, I can help. But now, dear Yakumo Yukari, can we talk about the payment?”

　Yukari Yakumo nodded. This was originally a GiveAndTake deal, a so-called PY transaction.

　"What do you want in return?"

　Sanzenin Arashi felt a strange unease. The current level of the demon realm was still so innocent, truly believing in the spirit of the contract.

　"Miss Yakumo Yukari, as you know, I have established an empire. Now that the empire has just been established, it is precisely the time when we need talent." Sanzenin Arashi said with a smile, "Since I helped establish Gensokyo, then Gensokyo will be a special administrative region under my empire. There shouldn't be any problem with that, right?"

　"Special...Administrative Region?"

　"That's right, you have autonomy. You just need to pay some taxes every year. I'll help you maintain it from time to time. After all, we can all live for a very long time. We have plenty of time, don't we?"

　"It seems... to be like that?"

　Yukari Yakumo felt a strange mix of emotions, yet she couldn't pinpoint any problems with it.

　“Then, there’s one more condition.” Sanzenin Arashi laughed.

　"Hmm?" Yukari Yakumo frowned. "Why is there still some? Don't push your luck!"

　"Where?" Sanzenin Arashi held up a finger. "I'm helping you build Gensokyo and maintaining it. These things don't benefit me at all, but I'm essentially giving you Gensokyo for free. How could such a good thing possibly happen? Do you think a pie falls from the sky?"

　Yukari Yakumo thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to make sense.

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled, took out a piece of paper, and with a flourish of his hand, wrote a line of words on it.

　[Fantasy Land Paradise Project]

　"The amusement park... plan?"

　“Of course, Miss Yakumo Yukari, Gensokyo is a peaceful place, a paradise indeed.” Sanzenin Arashi said with a smile, “My condition for agreeing to this plan is… my empire is still lacking a national advisor, how about you take on that role?”

　Yukari Yakumo immediately became alert. "You'd better be frank and tell me what you're planning to do."

　However, Sanzenin Arashi didn't take this warning seriously.

　"Since Gensokyo is a special administrative region under the Empire, then as its master, you should also hold an official position in the Empire. The Imperial Advisor is almost equivalent to the Prime Minister. How is this position unfair to Miss Yakumo Yukari?"

　Yakumo Yukari sighed.

　"That's true, and I can agree to that condition. Anyway, you're after my abilities, aren't you?"

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded. "It is my duty to extend an olive branch to a talented person who is right in front of me. I am the emperor of the empire, and this is my responsibility. Please state your conditions."

　Yukari Yakumo pondered for a moment and then said, "I want your help to defeat the Dragon God together."

　Oh?

　Sanzenin Arashi raised an eyebrow. "The price isn't enough. They're just here to do my bidding; there aren't enough incentives for me to risk my life in battle."

　"..." Yakumo Yukari frowned.

　Sanzenin Arashi revealed a strange smile, "However... Miss Yakumo Yukari, you can pay a higher price. I don't come cheap."

　Upon hearing this, even though Yukari Yakumo was wary, she couldn't help but ask, "What do you want?"

　“It’s very simple!” Sanzenin Arashi snapped his fingers, and a glass bottle filled with green liquid appeared in the air.

　Snap...!

　He placed the bottle on the table and said, "Drink this, and I can help you."

　..

53. My Slave, Yakumo Yukari

　Yukari Yakumo looked at the green bottle on the table, puzzled, but had no choice but to pick it up.

　Only she knows that she has no choice now.

　The youkai of Gensokyo are very special. They are not remembered by people, and their existence is gradually fading away. If they cannot gradually build their own things in a special environment, they will perish.

　The literal meaning of extinction is the disappearance of existence itself, leaving nothing behind.

　Even if she were faced with a bottle of poison, Yukari Yakumo would have no choice.

　She pondered for a moment, "The establishment of Gensokyo originally required the help of the Dragon God."

　Sanzenin Arashi said, "Let's drink this first, and then we can talk about the Dragon God."

　This specially made slave potion cost Sanzenin Arashi a lot of energy. Once Yakumo Yukari drinks it, even if she doesn't want to join Sanzenin Arashi's side, she will have no choice but to accept it.

　Yukari Yakumo is undoubtedly an uncontrollable person, and this is the only way to deal with her.

　"Hmm..." Yakumo Yukari was silent for a moment, then raised her slender, jade-like neck and gulped it down.

　pat!

　She placed the bottle on the table and sighed, "Now can we talk about the Dragon God?"

　Sanzenin Arashi observed her reaction and said calmly, "Of course you can. As for defeating the Dragon God, tell me about the Dragon God's abilities first. Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. You need to be fully prepared to deal with the enemy."

　“Dragon God…” Yakumo Yukari pondered for a moment, “Our supreme ruler of youkai is very, very strong, because he can easily defeat me without using his full strength.”

　"So you're planning to send the two of us to our deaths?" Sanzenin Arashi glared at him. "Do you even know where he is?"

　Yukari Yakumo shook her head. "I don't know..."

　"Then why are you even hitting me?!"

　After a moment of silence, Yakumo Yukari explained her situation.

　Gensokyo was reset on a whim by the Dragon God.

　All the monsters reverted to their pre-monster forms.

　This reminded Sanzenin Arashi of Japanese legends, which state that Japanese monsters were generally human before.

　Humans have turned into monsters for some reason.

　Humans transformed into tengu, that is Aya Shameimaru.

　Because of the Dragon God's whim, the people of Gensokyo experienced a phenomenon similar to reincarnation.

　So in Osaka, there was a young lady named Tokugawa Sanae.

　There's also Alice who wants to become an internet idol.

　These people were originally from Gensokyo, but for some reason, they were ejected to the outside world, and that reason itself was the Dragon God.

　Sanzenin Arashi pondered for a moment and asked, "Why don't you just gather everyone here and rebuild Gensokyo? Why fight the Dragon God?"

　This one sentence made Yakumo Yukari frown deeply.

　"It's pointless. Without the Dragon God's help, even if you use the boundary to isolate an area and create Gensokyo, the youkai inside will still gradually disappear over time."

　"In other words, the Dragon God provided an unknown energy that allowed you to preserve yourselves, meaning that you are all subject to him?"

　"Unfortunately, that's the reality. No one can change it. If the Dragon God is unwilling, then in order to survive, we have no choice but to challenge him."

　At this point, Sanzenin Arashi was also feeling a bit bewildered. They hadn't even seen a shadow of the Dragon God, yet they had talked on and on, which seemed pointless.

　Just then, Yukari Yakumo suddenly felt a strange sensation.

　"Ugh..." She covered her forehead and suddenly took a step back.

　"What...did you give me to drink?"

　Feeling something being branded inside her body, Yakumo Yukari plopped down on the sofa, panting heavily, gripping the sofa's surface, and looking at Sanzenin Arashi with a strange gaze.

　"It's nothing, just a very ordinary potion to put your mind at ease and work for me. That's how our contract works. As long as you don't have any ulterior motives, drinking it is practically the same as not drinking it at all."

　Yakumo Yukari stared at Sanzenin Arashi in disbelief. As a boundary-bound demon, this kind of thing shouldn't have any effect, yet at this moment, she felt like she had really been tricked by this bottle of medicine.

　"Alright, now that you've drunk this, I can begin my questions," Sanzenin Arashi said with a smile. "Where is the Dragon God?"

　"What do you want to do..." Yakumo Yukari said through gritted teeth.

　"Not bad, not bad!" Sanzenin Arashi clapped her hands. "To be able to resist even at this point, I'm starting to like you a little, Yakumo Yukari. Very good personal will, that's what makes it fun to dominate."

　Then, Sanzenin Arashi asked the same question: "Then, Miss Yakumo Yukari, tell me, where is the Dragon God...?"

　"Ugh..." Upon hearing this, Yukari Yakumo felt an overwhelming surge of emotion welling up inside her. She said in a strange tone, "The Dragon God was reborn with us..."

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded. "Find it. How old are you this year?"

　Yukari Yakumo was taken aback, then suddenly put on a stern face, "Why are you asking this?"

　"Idiot, I'll just do a world census, find everyone your age, and then you can come over and look at them all together. Wouldn't that tell you everything?"

　"Ten, seventeen years old..."

　“Miss Yakumo Yukari…” Sanzenin Arashi covered her forehead, “Can you tell the truth?”

　“Alright…” Yukari Yakumo looked reluctant, but still said, “I’m nineteen…”

　After she finished speaking, she let out a long sigh...

　"Hmm... In other words, the reincarnation of the Dragon God is also nineteen years old, the same age as us."

　"Are you this age too?" Yukari Yakumo asked incredulously.

　“Of course… but this information is a bit limited. There are too many nineteen-year-olds in the world. Are there any other characteristics?” Sanzenin Arashi squinted.

　If the Dragon God were to be reincarnated, I could also create a potion to make the Dragon God pledge allegiance, and then capture the supreme god of Gensokyo.

　Yukari Yakumo nodded, pondering for a moment...

　"I remember one story. The Dragon God did this on a whim. It seems he obtained something and was bewitched, which is why he did such a thing."

　"Oh?"

　Yukari Yakumo tried hard to recall, but since it was news from her previous life and only a very small detail, her memory of it was somewhat hazy.

　Suddenly, she slapped her thigh!

　"I remember now, it was a talking prop!"

　"And then?" Sanzenin Arashi asked seriously.
