The Great Hero's Fantasy Park Plan

Yang Xiying began writing furiously again...

"Um..." Seeing that Yang Xiying, who had returned to reality, was still in that incredibly strong state, Ibaraki Kasen hesitated before speaking.

"Let's give Xiao Yang some time for now," Ibuki Suika said, stopping him at this moment, just like Yakumo Yukari had stopped her last time.

"Suika, thanks, you've done me a huge favor again," Yang Xiying, who had returned to human form a minute later, said to Suika with a smile.

He has now recorded a lot of scientific knowledge, and if he studies it, his equipment forging skills will become more advanced.

The combat suits will become more sophisticated, and eventually, we might even be able to create the Geki Gauntlets that can transform into Geki Rangers.

"Hey, we don't need to be so formal now," for a ghost, once someone is considered a friend, they're a friend forever.

"So Yang Xiying, did you just record the sudden burst of power? Like a writer jotting down an inspiration?"

Ibaraki Kasen, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't contain her curiosity and spoke up. Now that she had watched a long demonstration, she understood what was going on.

However, they still need to fill in the details.

“Yes, that’s how the training method for the Beast Fist I mentioned before came about,” Yang Xiying nodded in response.

"Is that so? So the power you unleashed, Yang Xiying, was all from the other warriors?"

Ibaraki Kasen could discern this from the power Yang Xiying unleashed, given their different styles.

Moreover, the intensity was so great that even he, outside the alternate dimension, could feel it; even if it was equipment he had personally created, it was still too exaggerated.

—And with such exaggerated power, why would they still want to practice martial arts? That's too eager to learn!

"That's right, I can unleash the power of other warriors for a short time, but the power I gain is rather random."

“When I sparred with other martial artists before, I unleashed the power of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden,” Yang Xiying nodded in response.

“Although it’s said to be random, the power that’s unleashed will also depend on the opponent,” Suika Ibuki said at this moment.

"After all, Xiao Yang, the power you unleashed in both of our battles was from Tomotaro, because I am a demon."

"And your purpose in fighting me now is to test whether you can still unleash Tomotaro's power, right?"

“That’s true,” Yang Xiying nodded, then Ibuki Suika continued speaking, while also glancing at Ibaraki Kasen.

"In that case, I get the feeling that Zi's introduction of Hua Shan to you is not just for cultivation, but also to let you spar with it and unleash your power."

"No matter what kind of power it is, as long as it can be recorded and studied, there will always be gains. And since Huashan is a demon, Yang Xiying will most likely unleash Tomotaro's power when she spars with him."

"Is there really such a reason?" Ibaraki Kasen looked surprised, and Yang Xiying responded somewhat embarrassedly.

"Zi and I did think about it, because there are many areas where we can study the power of Tomotaro."

"After all, becoming like him is equivalent to possessing the power of more than forty kinds of warriors. If the principles of his abilities are recorded, one will definitely benefit greatly."

"It's just that my ability bursts out rather randomly, but upon closer inspection, there are patterns. The power I gain is related to my opponent."

"—When I'm facing Suika Ibuki, I might become Momotaro the demon exorcist."

"...Just as Suika said, your Momotaro is a bit outrageous," Ibaraki Kasen replied, somewhat speechless.

She had never seen a Momotaro like Yang Xiying before. This kind of thing could easily defeat Suika; they were not even in the same league.

So using it to fight those demons is a huge waste of its potential, or rather, what kind of troublesome demons is Momotaro slaying anyway?!

—And awakening Momotaro's power in the battle against Suika is just too twisted!

"So Yang Xiying will also be thinking about sparring with me in the future to unleash the power of Tomotaro or other forces?"

Ibaraki Kasen couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I haven't had a chance to explain it to you yet, but now I feel this is an opportunity."

Explaining the power of a martial artist's substitute to Ci Huaxian would require a lot of space, and Yang Xiying was also unsure about the impact of the power at that time.

After all, he knew a little about Ibaraki Kasen through books; she was a willful demon who did many heinous things.

However, after having one of her hands cut off by humans, she reformed and severed ties with her past, striving to become a sage. For this reason, she did not want to reveal her identity as a demon.

Therefore, Yang Xiying's battles with her, unleashing the power of Momotaro or Watanabe no Tsuna who severed her hand, always caused trouble.

Therefore, Yang Xiying felt that she needed to find a suitable time to spar with Ibaraki Kasen, and now it was about time.

"That's really true... But now I feel like I can't keep up this lie anymore. Yang Xiying, you knew I was a ghost all along, didn't you?"

Ibaraki Kasen didn't know what to say, but she didn't care that her opponent had unleashed power through sparring with her.

What truly bothered them was that the other side already knew their identity as a ghost, and it wasn't just a simple matter of knowing their identity.

"They even know about my past."

She had also done things herself... After all, she had heard Yang Xiying learn a lot about Gensokyo through books and other documents.

“Yes,” Yang Xiying did not deny it, and he only said this one sentence without saying anything more. Ibaraki Kasen hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

"—So what's your opinion on my deeds?"

“Greek milk,” Yang Xiying replied casually, which immediately stunned Ibaraki Kasen. “You don’t know?”

Before I met Master Huashan, my understanding of you was all from books and documents, which was more like hearsay.

So the story of the strange older sister who abducted the little boy might not be true. Well, this is just a rather unserious record of information.

Serious information... is hard to evaluate. She is also a person with extraordinary wisdom, and in the end, she went through a lot of detours to achieve her goal.

The final plot of "Ibaraki-kasen," a work depicting Ibaraki-kasen, was quite a mess, causing a significant drop in the audience's goodwill towards the character.

Although Yang Xiying didn't feel anything, because his knowledge of these plot points was mostly hearsay, to put it bluntly, it was all just rumors.

"So it's a bit blind to judge you in real life based on this, and I prefer to see it for myself."

"At least in my eyes now, Master Huashan, you are a teacher who is willing to provide me with the Immortal Realm for cultivation and even willing to guide me."

His current impression of Ibaraki Kasen is still that of a dignified, preachy, pink-haired giant who is willing to stand on the side of humanity.

—I quite like it.

"Is that so..." Ibaraki Kasen became thoughtful, then breathed a sigh of relief. The other side had given her a way out.

"However, it would be presumptuous of me to offer guidance to someone as talented as Yang Xiying. Of course, you are still welcome to my Immortal Realm."

"—Also, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."

"Oh, Kasen, I'll come visit you later," Suika Ibuki replied directly, smiling as she said goodbye.

"Don't act like this is your home. You're coming back with me," Ibaraki Kasen said, somewhat annoyed, as she pulled Ibuki Suika up.

“Eh heh heh——?”

Although surprised, Ibuki Suika let Ibaraki Kasen pull her away, perhaps thinking that the other party wanted to say something to her.

"Take care, you two," Yang Xiying said, not trying to keep them. After all, he was a little tired after spending the day with so many girls.

—Let's talk about it tomorrow.

……

"Are you so concerned about what others think of your identity?" On the way back, Ibuki Suika broke her silence and spoke up directly.

“She’s clearly a demon, yet she claims to be a sage,” Ibaraki Kasen sighed. “It just doesn’t seem right to others.”

"—And a particularly heinous ghost."

“Xiao Yang wouldn’t care about those things,” Suika Ibuki replied directly. “After all, he’s a guy who focuses more on the present and the future.”

"Focus on the present and the future?"

"Didn't he say that seeing is believing? Naturally, he only looks at the present and imagines the future, so what matters is not what you did in the past."

"It's about what you're doing now and what you'll be doing in the future. So, in short, do you still want to associate with Xiao Yang?"

"Yes, from a personal perspective."

"Well, from a personal perspective, I only find his cooking appealing, which is rather superficial."

Ibaraki Kasen didn't know what to say. Her current impression of Yang Xiying was that he was a skilled and sensible young man who was good at cooking.

"Tch, socializing with people is just part of seeking pleasure, there's nothing superficial about enjoying other people's cooking."

"Like me, because Xiao Yang would drink with me and even help me find wine to brew, I already considered him a friend forever."

"Although he is still a bit blunt and not very forthright, the way he tries to improve in that direction is especially adorable."

"—Just like you when you first joined our Oni clan."

"..."

"In short, if you feel that someone is worth associating with, then you should demonstrate that you are worth associating with. Yang Xiying is my friend, so I will do my best to help him if he has any trouble in the future."

"Do I also demonstrate the value of my interactions..."

PS: This is a two-in-one compilation of four thousand words.

"Master Huashan, I'll be bothering you again starting today."

Although their relationship became somewhat delicate last night because they realized something, Yang Xiying still got up early and went to Huashan's immortal realm.

After all, this is a training ground that is no less important than his mental palace, and he needs to continue observing the habits of various animals to complete the Beast Fist.

Moreover, he wasn't afraid of what Kasen might do if he knew her background, since he had Yakumo Yukari watching over him.

Moreover, he has the ability to escape no matter what happens.

"Oh, Yang Xiying, you've arrived! Welcome, welcome!"

However, when Yang Xiying arrived, the first person to greet her was not Ibaraki Kasen, but Ibuki Suika.

"Good morning, Yang Xiying," Ibaraki Kasen greeted her directly from behind.

“I made breakfast today too. If you don’t mind, let’s eat together,” Yang Xiying replied, taking out two steamers from her spatial backpack.

—He made xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) for breakfast today.

"Oh, thank you for your trouble," Ibuki Suika said with a smile as she leaned closer, and Ibaraki Kasen spoke up at the same time.

"Although I told you last time that you would be in charge of making a dish that would please the immortal, I still feel a little embarrassed now that I think about it."

“Since Master Huashan is willing to lend me a place to practice and give me guidance along the way, it is only right that I do something for you.”

Yang Xiying responded directly.

"is it?"

Seeing that Yang Xiying was still as polite as before, Ibaraki Kasen breathed a sigh of relief, because she was naturally nervous facing this person after their conversation yesterday.

Therefore, she persuaded Ibuki Suika to stay in her fairy realm, so that Yang Xiying wouldn't feel too awkward when she came over in the future.

"Then I'll have to train you with all my might from now on, although I don't think I can give you much guidance."

“However, if you want to unleash your power and record your inspiration through sparring with me, I’ll gladly oblige,” Ibaraki Kasen replied.

"Oh, then I'll have to trouble Master Hua Shan from now on," Yang Xiying said with a smile, thus achieving one of his purposes in finding Master Hua Shan.

“Hey, I’ll help you with that too,” Suika Ibuki said with a smile.

"Or I could take you to meet other ghost friends."

"Other Oni friends?" Yang Xiying was taken aback, while Ibuki Suika responded cheerfully, "Having met such an interesting fellow on the ground, I naturally have to tell my friends about it."

"Besides, since you've invited me to your home, I should reciprocate by inviting you to my home to treat you properly."

"—So? Want to come?"

"of course."

Yang Xiying responded, "Go to Ibuki Suika's house, that's the old Hell? The old site of Gensokyo Hell, where the demons gather."

In addition, other monsters also live there, and there are many interesting new characters, such as the super cute Satori monster sisters.

"Then it's settled. But before that, you should get stronger. I'm also looking forward to your power without unleashing your potential."

“I will. Then we’ll have a fair and square contest,” Yang Xiying replied to Ibuki Suika.

After making the agreement, the three of them started eating breakfast, and Yang Xiying continued her cultivation. The rest of the time was as previously agreed.
