Use FGO to open the second dimension

The cherry blossom trees, which resembled monsters, began to be called the "Journey to the West"...

Qingji told these words to Koizumi, and Koizumi's eyes flickered with brilliance.

Journey to the West, it was indeed a very familiar name... Gu Quan couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling helpless.

I guess it’s something from Gensokyo again. Was that demon tree also moved to Gensokyo later?

Yukari isn't afraid that thing will kill ordinary humans in Gensokyo...but is it okay if she doesn't get close to it?

"What about Saigyouji Yuyuko? Since we can find the Saigyouji family, we should be able to find out about Saigyouji Yuyuko, right?"

Koizumi started to get to the point; the matter of Saigyouji Yuyuko was the key.

Qingji nodded silently. She had indeed investigated something about Saigyouji Yuyuko. After all, if she could find out about Master Saigyou, then how could she not find out about Saigyouji Yuyuko's affairs?

"Saigyouji Yuyuko is the daughter of Saigyo. She seems to have been living in Moriji-ji Temple, the temple where Saigyo became a monk. Currently, only Saigyoji Yuyuko lives in that temple... Oh, and she also has a gardener... There are only the two of them in the entire temple... It's really surprising that they're not afraid of the Saigyo demon..."

Having said that, Qingji couldn't help but curl her lips, and a look of doubt appeared on her face.

Koizumi's brow furrowed slightly. He seemed to have some guesses about this... Saigyoji was the renowned Onmyoji of the Saigyoji family. Since he had a daughter like this, she must be the eldest daughter of the Saigyoji family. Could the Saigyoji family not care if their daughter's life was in danger at any time? Unless... Saigyoji Yuyuko wasn't even liked by the Saigyoji family...

Could it be that Yuyuko Saigyouji herself has some connection with that demon cherry?

Wait a minute, I remember Reimu saying that after becoming a ghost after her death, Saigyouji Yuyuko was able to control the spirits of the dead... If this ability wasn't acquired after she became a ghost, but was acquired during her lifetime...

The Saigyou demon's ability to lure people to death is undoubtedly related to the undead spirit's death energy, and Youyouko possesses the same ability. This means that this demon cherry may be connected to Saigyouji Youyouko through some unknown relationship, as if they are entangled in the chains of fate and cannot be broken free no matter what...

Faintly, Koizumi thought he had discovered the truth...

"I've almost finished my investigation. The death aura started appearing a few days ago, around the same time Saki's parents stopped responding. It seems something really happened to them... The people of Heian-kyō seem to have some guesses about the source of the death aura, but they don't seem to be saying much... I now have a rough idea why they're hesitant to speak out..."

Gu Quan gave a wry laugh. How could he not be this scared, being in the same city as the Westward Journey Demon?

What if Saigyou-yao comes looking for her because she said something bad? What should she do? Saigyou-ji Yuyuko, who has been with Saigyou-yao for a long time, is probably also feared by everyone... If she stays in Shengji-ji Temple, I guess...

Forget it, I don't want to think too much about it, I'd better go find Reimu first...

Koizumi couldn't help but shake his head. He exchanged a glance with Kiyohime, who nodded silently and followed behind Koizumi.

Just after Koizumi took his first step, as if sensing something, he quickly looked behind him.

In a small alley, Koizumi seemed to see a white shadow floating in the air...

It felt familiar. Was it someone I knew? But why didn't he come out to see me? Koizumi frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, darling?" Kiyohime looked at Koizumi with a puzzled look on her face.

Gu Quan silently shook his head. Since he was avoiding him, it meant that he didn't want to see him. If that was the case, there was no need to go over to him. After all, there was no malicious intent in his sight.

After Koizumi left, a petite figure flashed through the dark alley. The owner of that figure stared at Koizumi until he disappeared from their sight.

After a while, the owner of the figure disappeared into the alley, leaving only a deep sigh.

Chapter 338 Heading to Shengji Temple

"So that's how it is. The Journey to the West Demon has such a past... Although I know that the Journey to the West Demon has some strange abilities, I don't know much about its past. It turns out that the foodie ghost was related to the Journey to the West Demon before his death..."

Reimu frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with people's attitude.

Her mother wears a mask because of the fear in the hearts of these humans. Although Hakurei shrine maiden looks very glorious, retiring monsters, managing Gensokyo, and maintaining order in Gensokyo, this cannot change the fact that Hakurei shrine maiden possesses inhuman powers. Also, Hakurei shrine maiden must often deal with monsters.

It is precisely because of this that not everyone can accept that Hakurei Miko, as a human being, is so close to monsters.

While they troubled the miko to exterminate youkai, they were also afraid of the Hakurei miko. Furthermore, since the relationship between youkai and humans in the generation before Hakurei wasn't as close as it is in Reimu's generation, even if they didn't want to, they would still be resented by the youkai for their mission to exterminate youkai. In the end, even humans were afraid of them.

Because of this generation of Gensokyo, Reimu didn't feel it as directly as her predecessor Hakurei.

But I didn't feel it in Gensokyo, but instead felt this pain after coming to the singularity... or through the perspective of others... Yuyuko Saigyouji, it seems that she is not living a very good life in this era.

"By the way, could that gardener be the half-human, half-spirit?"

Koizumi and Kiyohime may not know who Marisa was talking about, but Reimu knows exactly what Marisa said.

"That shouldn't be possible. That half-human, half-spirit wasn't born so early... I did hear Yukari mention that there was a generation before Youmu who served as a gardener in the Saigyouji family. He seemed to be Youmu's grandfather. His name seemed to be... Konpaku... I forgot!" Reimu pressed her chin, with a hint of thought in her eyes, but she quickly put it behind her mind.

Koizumi and Marisa couldn't help but twitch their lips. This is indeed Reimu's personality. This is the Reimu we know...

"Forget it, let's not think too much about it. Let's go to Shengchi Temple and find out who that half-human, half-spiritual person is..."

Reimu couldn't help but roll her eyes, as if she was also speechless, and quickly spoke.

When Reimu was inquiring about Saki's parents, she also knew that there was a demon cherry in Moriji Temple, but she didn't know it in such detail. After all, when inquiring about relevant information, some irrelevant things would be mentioned more or less.

By the way, there is still no news about Shahi's parents, and Shahi is now in a low voice.

Although Reimu comforted her, saying that her parents might have gone somewhere else and didn't have time...

But this girl probably realized the problem... After all, this girl doesn't look like someone who can be fooled so easily.

"Are you okay... Saki?" Koizumi squatted down slightly, looking straight at the little girl Saki in front of him.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes, and it was obvious that Koizumi was worried about Saki's mood.

The psychological burden of losing one's parents is extremely heavy. I miss Saki, but no, Koizumi can't even think about her.

Since he has no family, Koizumi cannot think about the pain of losing his family, but he can understand the pain of losing Remlia and the others. That kind of suffocating pain is something Koizumi does not want to endure a second time no matter what.

Hearing this, Shahi quickly raised his head and put on a very forced smile.

"I'm fine, brother... Although I didn't find my parents, Kyoto is really beautiful..."

Seeing Saki trying to cheer up, Reimu and Marisa couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Koizumi sighed in his heart, and a trace of sympathy flashed in Kiyohime's eyes.

"I'm glad you're okay... Come on, no matter what, we'll always be by your side..."

Although it might be irresponsible to say such things at this time, Koizumi could only comfort the other person in this way.

"Hmm!" Although she still looked rather dejected, she was at least quite a bit more cheerful, which made Koizumi feel a little relieved. As long as she was alright, I was worried about her...

"In that case, let's go to Shengji Temple first...but..."

Reimu looked at Saki with a little worry. If Saki went with them, would she also be affected by the Journey to the West demon?

After all, the Saigo demon is a notorious demon that can lead people to commit suicide. Reimu has the confidence to protect him. If something happens to Saki, Reimu will never forgive herself.

"I understand your worries. Kiyohime and Marisa, you two stay here with Saki. Reimu and I will go to Moriji Temple to get some information. After Reimu and I have a better understanding of Moriji Temple, you can bring Saki here..."

Koizumi said this, a solemn look appearing on his face.

Marisa and Kiyohime seemed a little dissatisfied with Koizumi's arrangement. After all, one of them was very curious about Saiyoyou, and the other wanted to stay with Koizumi. Besides, taking care of a child seemed very troublesome...

As if sensing the two's dissatisfaction, Koizumi and Reimu exchanged glances before slowly stepping forward.

"Qingji, thank you for your help... Besides, as a good wife, shouldn't you learn how to take care of children?"

Koizumi blinked his eyes as he said this, his lips curled up slightly in a playful smile.

After hearing what Koizumi said, Qingji's face immediately flushed with red, and her excitement was beyond words.

Dear wife, does this mean that your darling has recognized you?

She jumped directly from the title of girlfriend to wife! So can I just call her Darling Husband?

Seeing the other person like this, Gu Quan couldn't help but feel helpless. Are you thinking too much?

"Don't think too much. I've already said that I don't want to fall in love right now. I said that just because it might be a possibility in the future. Don't you have to prepare for your future too? Isn't that right, Qingji..."

Koizumi's words calmed Qingji down, and she nodded quickly, her face serious.

At the same time, Reimu also hit Marisa on the head with her Demon Subduing Wand, with a speechless look on her face.

"You know how troublesome the Journey to the West monster is. I'm a shrine maiden, so I'm somewhat prepared for this kind of thing. But you and I are different. This isn't a problem that can be solved simply by strength. Everyone has their own expertise. You should stay out of this for now. Protecting Shaxi is the priority. Got it?"

It was rare for Reimu to scold her so seriously. Marisa was slightly stunned and nodded subconsciously.

What Reimu said seems to be right... If I were to be possessed by the power of the Saigo-no-Yokai, I wouldn't know how to resolve it...

Chapter 339 Saigyouji Yuyuko

In Shengji Temple, the cherry blossoms in the courtyard slowly fall down, like elves dancing, without being tainted by the slightest worldly noise. The pink and white cherry blossoms are like pink and white butterflies, struggling to fly off the branches and fluttering in the air, as if telling the sadness of their own life nearing the end.

Slowly, the breeze blew, and the fallen cherry blossoms danced all over the sky, like a dream, making people intoxicated.

Watching from afar, this feeling seems so sad and beautiful...

Beneath this cherry tree, a tall young woman danced in the night breeze. Her blue and white kimono trembled slightly, her pink hair brushed against her cheeks, even a strand brushing against her lips. Her eyes, like cherry blossoms, closed slightly, and her fair hands lifted the fallen petals, gently caressing them.

The girl looked so fragile, like a piece of cracked glass that would shatter at the slightest touch.

When the breeze blows, people feel worried, afraid that they will be blown down by it.

As if feeling the chill of the night, the girl shrank slightly, a hint of sadness revealed in her cherry-colored eyes.

Just looking at each other like this, I'm afraid many people will feel pity, but if you say her name, almost everyone in Kyoto will immediately extinguish the pity in their hearts... That's because this woman is the daughter of Master Saigyo, her name is Saigyoji Youyouko, and she is also the woman who has a connection with the Saigyo demon.

Saigyouji Yuyuko has lived in Moriji Temple since she was a child. Everyone knows that the Saigyou demon revealed its evil nature after the monk Saigyou committed suicide beneath a cherry blossom tree. However, it was actually the monk Saigyou who discovered the demon cherry tree in Moriji Temple, but he was unable to suppress its power. He also discovered that his newborn child, Saigyouji Yuyuko, had developed a symbiotic relationship with the tree. Because of this connection, his daughter also possessed the power to control the undead and induce death, all of which came from the Saigyou demon's power...

It is because of this ability that Yuyuko Saigyouji is called the "Princess of Death" by outsiders.

When the people of the Saigyouji family learned about this, they were not happy at all for the emergence of this power on behalf of Saigyouji Yuyuko. On the contrary, they were very afraid of this power and even wanted Saigyouji to seal the Saigyou demon at the cost of her own life. However, due to the obstruction of Saigyouji Yuyuko's teacher, Soul Demon Ji, the matter has not been resolved until now.

Of course, Saigyouji Youyouzi thought that if she could use her own life to stop the Westward Journey Demon, then she would be happy to do so. However, now is not the so-called best time. The Westward Journey Demon will have a fixed outbreak period every time, and this is the best time to seal the Westward Journey Demon... However...

Yuyuko Saigyouji began to feel a little worried, because the deathly aura surrounding Kyoto recently seemed to be resonating with the Saigyou demon, who was longing for death. Now even she was not sure whether she could seal the Saigyou demon.

As if she thought of something worrying, Youyouzi sighed deeply.

Slowly, lines like cracks in glass appeared in front of Youyouko. Under Youyouko's curious gaze, the cracks slowly opened, revealing a group of heart-pounding eyes.

"Hmm..." As if frightened, Youyouzi couldn't help but take a few steps back.

However, the pair of cherry-colored eyes were still staring at the crack in front of them, without shifting their gaze at all.

Why would something like this appear inside Shengji Temple? Wait, I think I've heard of this somewhere before...

That's right, the gap between the gap monster Yakumo Yukari is like this. The magic monk of the Saigyouji family has also fought with Yakumo Yukari, so it's normal to know this... It's just that maybe I didn't listen carefully, so I put it aside for the time being...

"Fuck! I've told you so many times that I'm really not suited to using the Gap to locate a location and then teleport! I'll never experience this feeling again, even if I die! Hakurei Reimu! If you ask me to use the Gap to teleport again next time, I'll use three Command Seals to force you to spend all your money!"

All I could hear were bursts of angry roars coming from inside, and it was obviously a man's voice.

But then, a young girl's voice was heard from inside, and it was a very obvious young girl's voice.

"There's nothing I can do about it, right? You didn't mention that half-human, half-spirit thing in front of the door has been blocking it. If it wasn't for being difficult to deal with, I would have rushed in long ago! Didn't you, the bastard, say to try not to cause conflicts? I'm doing this for your own good! And besides, you clearly inherited Yakumo Yukari's power, so why are you no different from a child in using the gaps?"

Slowly, as the sound grew louder, two figures slowly walked out from the gap.

But what was strange was that the two people's walking posture was a little strange, as if they were drunk, and they were walking crookedly.

But I don’t smell any alcohol on them... What’s going on?

Youyouzi looked at the two people in front of her with curiosity, but seemed to have forgotten to ask how they got here and what that thing just now was...

"Oh my god... I feel so dizzy. The feeling of spinning around in space is really uncomfortable. You actually used such a great interstitial ability like this. If Zi knew about this, she would strangle you to death..."

Reimu couldn't help but reveal a fierce look and glared at Koizumi.

Koizumi curled his lips. Zi would never strangle me to death for such a boring thing. At most, she would feel that she was useless. Besides, I'm not a natural gap monster. I feel helpless if I can't use the gap to teleport.

"But it seems that you teleported to the right place. It's just... next time, I really can't use your gap to teleport. It's too unsafe. If you keep doing this, sooner or later, I will be fainted by your gap..."

Rolling his eyes at Koizumi, Reimu's tone was filled with resentment, and Koizumi felt helpless about it.

I've already told you that my gap is useless. Even if I succeed, you'll still feel bad... Who told you not to listen...

Now you're feeling like you're carsick, and now you're blaming me... It's really speechless, but it's true. I did make Reimu suffer a little, but she brought it upon herself.

At this moment, Koizumi turned his gaze to Saigyouji Yuyuko in front of him.

Chapter 340 The Terrifying Power of Death

"Excuse me... who are you?" Youyouzi's cherry-colored lips opened slightly, and a gentle and pleasant voice came out from them.

This was a very gentle girl, and you could tell from her words. Moreover, she was also quite innocent, because the first thing she felt when she saw this guy who was obviously not a good person was curiosity, not vigilance...

Even if Koizumi and Reimu weren't inherently evil, their attempt to bypass the garden master outside and enter Moriji-ji Temple clearly indicated a motive, and that motive might very well be her...

But Youyouzi was completely unaware of this and just talked to the two of them curiously, as if she had the purest good intentions.

Seeing this scene, Koizumi and Reimu couldn't help but look at each other, with complicated expressions appearing on their faces.

What was complicated for Gu Quan was that such a gentle woman was actually entangled with such a sad fate. How unfair was God.

What's complicated for Reimu is that she is used to seeing the foodie ghost in Gensokyo. Now when she returns to the foodie ghost's life, she sees that the foodie ghost she knew was so innocent, gentle and kind in his life... It's really a sense of incongruity!

But perhaps it was precisely because of this that Yakumo Yukari valued her... Among a group of malicious humans, she actually found a girl who still had the purest kindness towards others... Reimu could already imagine how complicated the expression on Yakumo Yukari's face must have been when she first met Yuyuko...

It was like finding a priceless gem among a pile of junk. No wonder Yakumo Yukari cherished her so much... because she was her treasure. And it was obvious how much pain Yakumo Yukari felt when Yuyuko died...
