Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

Yukari Yakumo: "That idiot is still there, isn't he?"

If she remembered correctly, everyone was banding together and waiting for her to give the order to move, but there were always some "outcasts," such as the owner of a certain four-season flower shop, and a certain idiot.

"Oh...oh...how scary!!!" The Great Fairy trembled as she hid behind Cirno. "Cirno-chan, let's run!"

"No, don't worry!" Cirno, trembling, stood in front of the Great Fairy and Rumia. "I...I will protect you!"

"Eat...eat...eat her! She looks so delicious!" The black energy became more and more complete.

Cirno: "Waaaaah... How scary!!!"

Looking out at Lake Misty, Yukari Yakumo shook her folding fan. "You must have tampered with it, right? Otherwise, the youkai definitely wouldn't have been able to grow so fast."

Zhong Gui didn't reply. He just looked at Cirno and the Great Fairy with curiosity, as if the distance of half a Gensokyo didn't exist for him.

"Are these fairies? They're quite cute. The immortals will definitely like them."

In Gensokyo, fairies, though weak, exist everywhere. They symbolize life, are the collection of life energy, and are the manifestation of nature.

Kazami Yuuka especially liked them, with Cirno being her favorite.

They are immortal and indestructible, but also very weak, unable to even defeat humans.

Even the strongest fairy, Cirno, with her full-force attack can only make someone feel like they're being hit by ice and snow; in summer, she'd be a good air conditioner.

"Is she getting stronger?" Zhong Gui asked, pointing at Cirno.

"Really?" Yukari Yakumo stared at Cirno for a while but didn't notice anything.

"She is definitely getting stronger, I'm not mistaken."

Yakumo Yukari frowned. Zhong Gui couldn't possibly be lying, but she had never heard of fairies hiding their strength.

Yakumo Yukari paused her preparations to see them off after a moment's thought, wanting to see if what Zhong Gui said was true.

"Wow wow wow!!!"

As the black mist drew ever closer, Cirno closed her eyes and waved her hands haphazardly. A flurry of ice and snow blew against the black mist, startling it.

Black Qi: "..."

It doesn't seem like there was any damage?

Seeing the retreating black mist, the Great Fairy exclaimed, "Cirno-chan blocked them?"

Rumia: "Is that so?"

"Hahaha!!! I'm the strongest!!!" Seeing the black aura recede, Cirno immediately stopped shaking and laughed heartily with her hands on her hips.

The fairy with a modicum of intelligence tugged at Cirno and whispered, "Cirno-chan, let's hurry up and go to that vampire's place."

In fact, most of the fairies in Gensokyo are under the management of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

When the Scarlet Devil Mansion first arrived in Gensokyo, there was no one else besides Remilia, Flandre, Sakuya Izayoi, Patchouli, Koyomi, and Meiling Hong.

Sakuya, the head maid, only cares about herself.

Later, in order to make the Scarlet Devil Mansion appear more powerful, Remy suggested recruiting maids.

Humans aren't suitable; only non-humans can be her maids...

After much thought, I realized that fairies were the only ones I could think of. They were easy to fool... no, I meant they were easy to recruit.

As soon as she heard that food and lodging were included, the fairy came running.

However, because fairies are innocent and carefree, they are not good at any work and usually mess things up.

Finally, Sakuya Izayoi had another group of people to take care of...

However, since Remi doesn't need fairies to take care of her, and besides her own family, the immortal fairies living in the Scarlet Devil Mansion don't have to worry about Flandre hurting anyone.

And so the clumsy fairies stayed at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and eventually it was as if the fairies had become a subordinate force of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Nowadays, the fairies, unless they have other places to go, basically all stay in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

So the great fairy asked Cirno if she wanted to go to that vampire's place.

Cirno wanted to retort, but when she saw the black energy surging up even more fiercely, she immediately lost her courage.

"Quick, hurry up and go..."

The two fairies and the gloomy monster turned to leave, but as they turned, they saw a terrifying scene—

Chapter 213 Yukari Yakumo: Can't you at least put on an act?

"Young Master, can your thing eat anything?"

Yakumo Yukari looked up and asked Zhong Gui.

"What do you mean by 'that thing'?!" Zhong Gui said, dissatisfied.

Yakumo Yukari stared at him with wide eyes.

"That thing doesn't belong to you, don't even think about it."

Yukari Yakumo: "(ー_ー)!!"

Yukari Yakumo: "Can we talk about that youkai down there?"

"You're supposed to be a sage of monsters, don't you know more about monsters than I do!?"

Yukari Yakumo: "—"

Zhong Gui: "...Okay, it can eat anything."

Is it faster to eat living organisms or to eat energy?

What do you want quickly?

"I want……"

……

"Waaaaah!!!" x3!

Before they knew it, the three little ones were surrounded, and the only place in the area where they were standing was free of black energy.

However, the next second, in their terror, the black mist rushed towards them.

Cirno: "Ah!!!"

The Great Fairy: "Wow!!!"

Rumia: "Ugh—"

Cirno and the Great Fairy: "Rumia!!!"

The dark aura seemed to bypass them and pounce on Rumia, as if they were unpalatable.

"Darkness! Darkness!"

The black energy rushed directly into Rumia's body, and it seemed to take something away with it as it went in and out.

Each time the black aura entered and exited, Rumia would change slightly; her red eyes would sometimes be vacant, sometimes bewildered, sometimes frantically violent, and sometimes filled with unbearable grief...

Cirno and the Great Fairy were startled by Rumia's fierce gaze, and the entire fairy froze on the spot, too afraid to move.

After a while, Cirno finally realized what was happening, "Rumia-chan!"

Cirno flew toward Rumia, who was being swallowed up, grabbed one of her hands and pulled her outwards, while the Great Fairy quickly stepped forward and grabbed her other hand as well.

"Let go of Rumia-chan!!!" X2!

Zhong Gui: "How about the limited-time Black Qi Monster?"

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

You ask me how I am? How should I answer?

As expected of the young ruler of a merchant nation, he's quite cunning. He says he hasn't done anything, but he's done everything in the end.

You're saying this monster was born naturally? And is driven by hatred and desire?

If you don't intervene, guide, lock evolution, accelerate evolution, or do other such things, I'll jump off this building today!

So you're not even going to pretend anymore? Just tell me you can directly control it and modify its power attributes...

Zhong Gui: "Now it specializes in devouring darkness."

Yukari Yakumo: "Can it be eradicated completely?"

Zhong Gui: "Wait a minute, it's ready, it's done."

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

Can't you at least put on an act?

Zhong Gui: "Hehe~"

Zhong Gui sat on the torii gate, watching the two demons battling the dark energy. "Go for it, bring your friend back!"

By the way, hasn't Cirno grown up a bit?

Cirno: "Rumia-chan, come out here right now!!! Ah!!!"

Great Fairy: "Cirno-chan, do your best!!!"

As each wisp of black mist passed through Rumia, a scene would appear in her mind.
