The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Yakumo Murasaki is negotiating with the other party. With her level of cunning, sorry, with her eloquence, although it is unlikely that she will be completely deceived, it is still very simple to make this matter from big to small."

Everything seemed to have returned to its original calm - Takeru thought so while sitting in front of Yashi Eirin in the Eternal Pavilion.

I don’t know what happened. No, this is a bit inaccurate. It should be that after Takeya “accidentally” said that name, the other party completely fell into the routine of Yakumo Purple and Yashi Eirin.

As Yashi Eirin said, at this moment, Yakumo Murasaki is negotiating with Yasaka Kanako as the "spokesperson" of the Dragon God. As the Dragon God, he can only change places with the other party for the time being. Ting came here to hide.

By the way, I accepted the "cross-examination" of Bayi Yonglin.

"There are as many questions as I want to ask, but as expected, this is the first one," Yayi Yonglin took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup and looked at Wu Ye calmly, and asked: "Why, Wu Yejun would Do you know that name?"

"So, Miss Yonglin, you have to believe me. It's not that I know it, but the result of my wish with the power of the Ten Thousand Treasure Hammer!"

"Well, I do know about the Ten Thousand Treasure Hammer."

"I have already told you that Miss Sheng and Sakuya came with the Ten Thousand Treasure Mallet, paused time, and asked me to make a wish. This is what happened."

"But, Takeya-kun, that's the problem," Yachi Eirin's expression was indescribably weird: "I asked Suzusen to go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion just now, and the news she brought back was—— That maid has not been out today."

"What did you say...?" Wu Ye was stunned.

"And more importantly, Takeya-kun, this explanation doesn't make sense in theory. Let me ask a question, is that, Saint, Miss Bailian?"

"Yes."

"That Miss Saint Bailian just woke up today, right?"

"Yes."

"And he still woke up in the demon world?"

"."

"I asked straight to the point, why does she know so much about the situation here? And she even 'borrowed' the Myriad Treasure Mallet to you for use?"

Yashi Eirin was actually not that mean. She could tell from her expression that Takeya was not lying, but in terms of the actual situation, this really didn't make sense.

And there is one more important thing that she did not say out loud, that is, she not only went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to inquire, but also went to inquire about the news about Glowing Needle City.

The response he received was that the Ten Thousand Treasure Mallet was sealed within it without any abnormality.

At first glance, the result of all this can only be that Takeya is lying, or that even he himself cannot tell which point is the truth.

But is this really the case?

If it was Yachi Eirin, she chose to believe Takeya. Although the actual evidence could not prove everything Takeya said, one thing was undeniable.

It's the fact that in that moment, time is stopped.

Once again, Bayi Yonglin clearly felt a disgusting aura, like the lingering ghost of maggots in the tarsus. Behind all this, there was another invisible hand manipulating secretly.

But even though I say that——

"Sorry, Takeya-kun, I may have gone a little too far. For the hero who saved Gensokyo, such a question is really rude, isn't it?"

"No, no, what you said is too much." Takeru lowered his head in embarrassment, and the little unhappiness he had before disappeared instantly because of Yonglin's half-joking words.

"Okay, there's not much point in dwelling on the past. Besides, let's talk about something more 'interesting' than this."

Yayi Yonglin's gaze seemed to expose the person's soul together, and Takeru couldn't get used to the feeling of being seen through.

"Sorry, this is the second time I have said this today, but it is necessary." Bayi Yonglin apologized first, and then said: "It is impolite to talk about other people's affairs behind their backs, so I thought I want to apologize first, to you, Takeya-kun."

"I?"

"Yes, it's a bit hard to say, but I have been secretly watching you since not long ago."

"."

Wu Ye opened his mouth and was speechless. Although he was sure that Yonglin's words did not mean what he understood in most cases, he still felt a little embarrassed and couldn't answer the words.

Fortunately, Yayi Eirin herself was quite slow in this regard, so she didn't notice anything wrong with Takeya's reaction.

After a pause, she continued: "'Could it be that what we see with our eyes and what actually exists there are two completely different concepts?' Yakumo Murasaki once said this."

Although Yashi Eirin and Yakumo Murasaki are sworn enemies in every sense of the word, they are also the only confidants in the world.

Just like a ghost in the dark whose true identity is unknown - this was Yakumo Murasaki's assessment of Takeya early on. Now, Yashi Eirin herself feels the same way.

Perhaps from that moment on, Yakumo Purple noticed the looming "truth" in Takeya.

"This is."

"Just think of what I said just now as what I said to myself. In fact, what I want to ask is just-" Yachi Eirin's eyes shone with a searching light: "She, has Yakumo Murasaki's 'guess' been confirmed? "

Sometimes Takeru thinks that Yashi Eirin's gentleness is actually a kind of cruelty, because she will nonchalantly call the being she is interested in a "guinea pig" and then look at him like a guinea pig.

Although she would definitely apologize for her rudeness after this, if there is a next time, she will definitely show the same look.

"I think this should be considered confirmed."

Takeru looked away unnaturally. Speaking of Yakumo Murasaki's "guess", he could only say that it was a crazy idea, but what was even crazier was that this guess was actually true.

In the outside world, there is something that has long been forgotten, still lying quietly in Wuye's home, and that is Wenwen's feather fan.

Tengu's feather fan is a wind-raising prop, but it does not have any ability on its own. However, Takeya can use it to attract strong winds.

At that time, Yakumo Purple had a different guess.

Today, Wu Ye absorbed the magic power left by Master Minglian from the fragments of Feicang, thus gaining the ability to fly.

So, Yakumo Murasaki came to a conclusion.

In the beginning, Takeru absorbed the demon power from Remilia's Gungnir, thereby gaining the power of the demon and being able to control that powerful magic gun - this is what everyone thought.

But now, Yakumo Purple suddenly realized that their starting point was wrong, or the order of cause and effect was reversed.

It was not that Takeya absorbed the demonic power that gave him the power to control the divine spear, but "in order to be able to control the divine spear, he obtained the same level of demonic power."

Because only this explanation can explain why Takeya didn't make any movement when he crossed the two-layer barrier of Gensokyo, and why Takeya was able to come and go freely in Sakuya's still world.

Just like Akong's attack on Kanako with the power of the Yata Bird has no effect, the only result that can occur when the powers of the same origin attack each other is fusion.

Throw a pebble into a bucket, and even if the ripples disappear, the pebble that falls to the bottom will still be noticed.

But what if you pour a glass of water into a bucket? Can you tell which part of the water is from outside?

Therefore, it is not that Takeya has the ability to cross any barrier at will, but that the moment he crosses the barrier, he assimilates his existence with the entire barrier.

Of course, compared to the word "assimilation", which has a lot of meaning, if Yakumo Murasaki herself had to say it, she felt that "seize" was more appropriate.

Takeru wanted to use the divine spear, so he "seized" Remilia's demonic power. Takeru wanted to use the feather fan, so he "seized" the Tengu's ability to control the wind. Takeru also wanted to cross the barrier, so He "seized" the power that had the same origin as the barrier.

Yakumo Murasaki used examples to prove her crazy conjecture. Now that the conjecture has been established, the next step is to start putting it into practice.

Now, Takeru wants to leave Gensokyo and return to his home in the outside world. There are two problems he faces. One is that the barrier of Gensokyo is sealed, and the other is that opening the passage requires the power of Yakumo Murasaki.

The first problem is easy to solve. Based on the above guess, Wu can directly pass through any barrier, so this problem can be ignored.

But the second problem is very troublesome. Opening the passage requires the power of Yakumo Purple. However, Yakumo Purple cannot approach the passage because Gensokyo is sealed.

Therefore, in order to make the two conditions hold true at the same time, Takeya has to do only one thing, which is to "seize" Yakumo Murasaki's power to control the realm and cross the barrier to open the channel.

So far, all the powers that Takeya has "seized" have come from weapons or props. He has never tried to "seize" power from living people or monsters.

And Yakumo Blue also strongly opposed this plan that was only one step away from self-harm, but Yakumo Purple solved this problem with a fairly simple method.

In the first step, she called Wu Ye over, and in the second step, she used the "split spirit technique" to create her own "split spirit".

As for why Yakumo Murasaki has the special skills of Hakurei Miko, we have to ask the first-generation miko.

According to Reimu's textual research, apart from the fact that she was taught by the priestesses of the previous generation, every Hakurei priestess since the first generation has been taught by Yakumo Zi herself.

The topic is far away, in short, Wu Ye should be happy in terms of the result.

Because on that day, the only existence in Gensokyo that can manipulate the power of the realm was born, but it was not a monster, but a human being, and its name was——

Takeya Kosaka.

"Important words, have you conveyed them well? Now is the time for everything to begin."

It was night, and Sheng Bailian, who woke up from a long sleep, held the puppet in her hand and stared at the eternal bright moon on the deck of the chariot ship.

At this time, Murasa's voice came from behind her.

"Sheng, what are you doing?"

"Look at the moon, Murasa, do you want to come with us?"

"Okay, ah, what is that in your hand? A doll. Hmm, this doll looks so familiar. Wait! Isn't this the maid from the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

"Yeah, it's beautiful, isn't it? It's something someone else deposited with me, and it's very important so I carry it with me."

As Sheng said, he hung a pocket watch around the puppet's neck, and then gently moved the hour hand on it forward by one notch.

At the same time, Sakuya, who was far away in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, suddenly seemed to sense something. He raised his head and looked at the night sky outside the window. Remilia beside him couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong, Sakuya?"

"Nothing, miss, it's just... I heard a strange voice suddenly, as if calling me, no... maybe it's my illusion."
