The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"I'm sorry to trouble you so late, Miss Ah Qiu."

"It's just a little effort."

Hidden's house is on a higher ground, and from here you can clearly see the quiet village of Rennosato.

Even in the dead of night, the study room of Hieda's family was still brightly lit. Ah Qiu was sitting at the desk wearing a thick coat, his little hand holding the pen was red. Only then did Takeru realize that there was no heater in the room.

Gensokyo in winter is a little colder than the outside world, and it will probably snow in a few days. The Hidden family is the richest family in the family, but Ah Qiu doesn't even turn on the heater at night when he is working.

Takeya, who was just passing by to take a look out of curiosity, couldn't help but ask: "Miss Aqiu, aren't you cold?"

"Huh?" Ah Qiu paused, raised his head and glanced at Wu Ye, and then said: "Of course it's cold."

"Then why don't you?" Wu Ye didn't finish his words, but his eyes fell on the heater placed in the center of the room.

Ah Qiu smiled and said calmly: "Although the weather is a little colder, it is not unbearable yet. I will light it up after a while."

"."

Oh, you are so frugal. Miss Ah Qiu will definitely be a good wife who knows how to run a house when she grows up. Why does this sound so strange?

Normally Takeru has never seen such a side of Ah Qiu, and I'm afraid most people don't know about it. After all, the first thing that comes to mind when everyone talks about the Hasida family is that they must be the most powerful family among people.

"That's enough. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Takeya-kun." With that said, Ah Qiu put down the pen he had been writing. It seems that today's work has been completed.

"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Ye waved his hands repeatedly. Although he said so, in fact, he didn't wear much today. Ah Qiu's study was very cold. After a while, he might not be able to help but let Ah Qiu put it on him. The stove is on.

It's just that if he said this to someone else, such as the beautiful girl Marisa, he wouldn't hesitate at all, and he would even do it himself. However, he was not embarrassed to speak to Ah Qiu.

Could it be because they are not familiar with them on weekdays?

Seeing Wu Ye fall into silence, Ah Qiu felt a little strange. She caught a glimpse of a long bundle that Wu Ye brought, but she didn't pay attention to it. Instead, she asked, "What's the matter, Wu Ye-kun?"

"Eh? Ah, sorry, I was just distracted."

Putting aside those trivial thoughts, Wu Ye straightened up and said, "Miss Aqiu, today I actually want to ask Miss Aqiu if there are any strange guys doing anything recently?"

When asked about this, Takeru felt that he was the strange guy.

"Weird guy?" Hearing this, Ah Qiu laughed and said, "Wu Yejun, have you encountered any trouble again?"

"Yes, I encountered a huge misfortune today."

Anyway, there was nothing to say. Thinking that it would be comfortable to find someone to complain to, Takeru simply told Ah Qiu everything about Mianyue Yiji.

"Ah, this is still unbelievable, the Princess of the Moon actually came to the ground."

As expected, Ah Qiu also had a surprised expression after hearing this: "Sisters Mianyue, although they are the messengers of the Moon City, they seem to have never set foot on the ground since that time a thousand years ago."

"That time a thousand years ago?"

"Ah" seemed to realize that he had made a mistake. Ah Qiu subconsciously covered his mouth, but soon let go in regret: "Wu Yejun probably doesn't know yet. Although it's not a secret, few people know about it. .”

"Secret?" Wu Ye was confused and seemed a little confused: "If the messenger from the Moon Capital came to the ground a thousand years ago, it should be related to the lunar war. There is nothing strange about it. Yes, it's a matter of courtesy."

Ah Qiu looked directly into Wu Ye's eyes and paused for a while, then said: "Sure enough, Wu Ye-kun doesn't know, and that's right. Miss Ancestor has no need to tell you this, and Master Zi seems to have no reason to elaborate with you."

"Is it possible that there really is some terrible secret?" Having mentioned this, Wu Ye became a little curious.

"It's a secret. I don't know if it counts. In fact, now that I think about it, it's just an innocuous little thing."

Ah Qiu did not immediately explain the reason, but asked in a roundabout way: "Wu Yejun, how much do you know about that war?"

"To what extent?" Wu Ye shook his head in confusion. For him, almost all those things in a thousand years were heard from other people's mouths, but he himself had never taken the initiative to understand them.

After all, it was too far away for him. At best, he just listened to it as a conversation piece and a short story after dinner. He never thought about going into details. So when Ah Qiu smelled it at the moment, he had nothing to say.

I think Ah Qiu also saw this, so he patiently explained: "That war was a catastrophe for humans, but it was a feast for monsters, and it was also the first lunar war. The trigger.”

"Wait, a feast?" Wu Ye asked with a very strange expression: "Didn't you say that both sides suffer losses? Why, Miss Aqiu, you are talking about a tragic defeat for mankind."

"Both sides will suffer." Ah Qiu suddenly showed a strange smile, and then asked seriously: "Wu Yejun, do you really believe such rhetoric?"

".Is not it?"

"Yes, I'm afraid you can't understand it if I tell you this in vain. Let's make a comparison first." Ah Qiu paused and asked: "Wu Yejun, now you should be able to fully understand the relationship between human beings and The difference between youkai, right? It’s in strength.”

"Roughly the same."

Takeru scratched his head. It was indeed embarrassing to say that the gap between humans and monsters was as big as the sky. A newborn monster had the fighting strength of two adult men, and an adult monster was enough to become a leader. The helpless scourge of the city.

If he really looked into it, Takeru couldn't imagine how humans fought monsters a thousand years ago.

"In that case, let me explain briefly. In that war, the power that humans finally gathered was roughly at this level." Ah Qiu stretched out a finger and said slowly: "Ten thousand."

"Only ten thousand?" Wu Ye's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.

"You must be scared, but in fact, this number was already the maximum height that could be reached at the beginning," Ah Qiu said with a wry smile: "Ordinary humans, even warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles, are not too strong against monsters. They have more chances of winning, so they are not the main force in the war."

"That is to say...?"

"The ten thousand people gathered are all beings with extraordinary power." Ah Qiu frowned slightly, seeming to be looking for that long memory: "The onmyojis worshiped by the royal family, the monks who slay demons, the monks who serve the gods Miko, those ten thousand are roughly made up of people like them."

"If you put it like that, it seems pretty strong."

"Really? You think so," Ah Qiu smiled and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Wu Ye-kun, you must have been to the old hell, right?"

"Uh, yes." Wu Ye was stunned and didn't understand why Ah Qiu suddenly mentioned this.

Ah Qiu did not explain, but continued: "Then you should have seen that person, the one who drank with Miss Cuixiang."

"Who?" Wu Ye thought about it carefully and said, "Are you talking about Hoshigo Yongyi? That Hong Yusan?"

"Pfft, what a strange nickname that is," Ah Qiu waved his hand and stopped laughing before continuing: "Since you have seen her before, you should know that she is also a ghost king."

"I know this."

"A thousand years ago, Miss Yongyi also participated in that war, together with Miss Cuixiang."

"This is normal. The ghost clan is also a powerful clan among monsters."

"Then you know," Ah Qiu turned away and said calmly: "Miss Yongyi alone commands more than six thousand ghost tribes."
