Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

When Kurokawa Kazuya heard the name of the person who came, he was slightly stunned.

After all, it's strange to suddenly have a Western name appear among a group of Eastern names.

"The only person in the town I can't understand is her."

Did the other party say what they were there for?

"It's said that they were very curious about the principles behind steam engines and the games we release, so they wanted to study them."

"Is it really that straightforward?"

"That's what she said herself."

"she?"

"Yes, another beautiful girl. Speaking of which, why are all the girls who come here beautiful girls? I feel like Kurokawa, you're getting the treatment of a male protagonist in a visual novel. According to the plot, Kurokawa, once you win her over, the town will be even safer."

In the small room, Kurokawa Kazuya and Houraisan Kaguya looked at each other.

The former was deep in thought, while the latter had a grinning expression.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

Kurokawa Kazuya: "Your Highness, why don't you continue playing the game?"

He put forward his own suggestions.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Kurokawa, how dare you despise me!!"

Her long, black hair, reaching her waist, swayed in the breeze, and the beautiful princess wore an expression of disbelief.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Even if you put on this face, it won't work. Although this face is indeed very handsome, I've gotten used to it after looking at it for a while. There's no way I'll go along with what you're saying."

Kaguya Houraisan: "Very well, then I'll be frank. I want to go to the theater with you."

Seeing that his charms had no effect on Kaguya, he chose to go straight to the point without any hesitation.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Then let's leave it at that."

He breathed a sigh of relief and replied, Kaguya's current performance was really not unexpected at all.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Oh, so this is what people online call 'saying one thing but meaning another.' Kurokawa, you've been quite lonely lately since you had a falling out with Hanami, haven't you? You actually want me to keep you company, don't you?"

Princess Moon shook her head, holding the controller, and mocked Kurokawa Kazuya in a wry tone.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I feel like Kaguya, you've become more and more pathetic since you got involved with the internet."

He launched into a rant, giving an irrelevant answer.

The latter, however, didn't care at all.

The princess in the moon gently patted off imaginary dust and straightened her clothes.

With a slight tilt of her snow-white neck, the princess, who was considered a disappointment in Kurokawa Kazuya's eyes, transformed instantly into a bright moon in the sky, radiating a pure and luminous light, after she put down the controller.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "So Kaguya, what are you planning to do next? You can't just be watching my show, can you? Let me make it clear beforehand that if nothing unexpected happens, I'm going for an interview, and the process might be quite boring."

Turning around, he smoothly pushed open the door and spoke to Kaguya Houraisan, who was walking out with him.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Oh, actually, besides watching the play, I have other purposes..."

With her long, black hair swaying with her movements, the princess, who could almost instantly attract the attention of passersby as she walked down the street, maintained her elegant demeanor and spoke slowly.

Kaguya Houraisan: "I recommend it, Kurokawa."

She turned her head and looked at Kurokawa Kazuya in a serious tone: "Even I would like to share my favorite games with others. If you ask who is the most supportive of your games, Kurokawa, it is definitely me, okay?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Thank you so much for your support, Kaguya."

Kurokawa Kazuya, muttering a sarcastic remark, stared straight ahead.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Hehe~~"

Princess Yue looked at the other person and suddenly smiled happily: "You're shy."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

He turned around and looked helplessly at Kaguya Houraisan: "Kaguya, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "No, I'm telling the truth, so you can rest assured that you're attracted to me. It's only natural."

The confident princess remained confident.

With her beauty, she was genuinely interested in a man's career and they shared completely similar interests.

How could the other party not be tempted?

She's almost fallen for herself.

but……

Princess raised her arm and placed it in front of Kurokawa Kazuya's eyes. Her gorgeous long sleeves slid down due to gravity, revealing her fair skin.

She spread out her slender, even somewhat beautiful, palms.

Kaguya Houraisan: "I would never do anything behind anyone's back. Even if I want the most basic handshake, it has to be done openly and honestly. Meeting in front of Hachina is a given. Doing it secretly is absolutely forbidden."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

He realized that Kaguya was flirting with him.

Kaguya Houraisan: "That's right."

Princess smiled beautifully at Kurokawa Kazuya: "I love how you are attracted to me right now, but you're too restrained to truly get close to me."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I'll say it again, Your Highness, you are quite wicked in a way."

He started complaining to Kaguya beside him.

He already knew about Kaguya Houraisan's personality beforehand; she wanted to attract others but also disliked them, and they actually acted because they were attracted to her.

However, Kurokawa Kazuya wasn't particularly opposed to it.

After all, Kaguya was a rare kindred spirit in him across all fields of ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) in this world.

Who can resist a brother who shares the same hobbies, who can play games together, watch anime together, and play cards together?

Honestly, Kurokawa Kazuya felt that if he went after Kaguya now...

With such good looks, the brotherhood could turn sour in an instant.

Of course, given Kaguya's personality, she would probably reject him on the spot.

Then the two of them can happily continue being brothers.

Although Kaguya Houraisan seems easy to talk to, Kurokawa and Mika do not believe that she is the kind of person who would easily change her mind.

The longer an organism lives, the less likely it is to change its own views.

This doesn't change based on how much knowledge one has; in fact, people with less knowledge are often more stubborn in a sense.

If we only consider the age of Princess Yueshang, she must be at least a thousand years old.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I suddenly discovered a blind spot."

Just then, as he turned around, preparing to share his thoughts with the regretful princess beside him.

Princess Yueshang's figure vanished from his side in an instant and reappeared in the distance as far as he could see.

It appears that it activated the abilities of eternity and fleeting moments, and instantly vanished.

With his gaze fixed ahead, Kurokawa Kazuya listened to the distant sounds, his body gradually strengthening from his recent Shinto training.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Maribelly Hearn, right?"

Yukari Yakumo: "Yes, you can call me Merry."

Young Yukari Yakumo calmly faced the beautiful face of Princess Tsukigami.

Kaguya Houraisan: "I heard you're interested in joining us. Would you be interested in experiencing our next flagship product, 'Tales of Kaguya'?"

The princess launched into a serious recommendation.

Yukari Yakumo: "Of course I'm interested."

With a scholarly air, the blonde girl who called herself Mary smiled and replied, "I am quite interested in everything here."

Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Scene Never Before Seen by a Demonic Being

Yukari Yakumo followed Kaguya Houraisan into the small room.

Before coming, she had already learned some information about computers and screens from Saigyouji Yuyuko's description.

She had imagined what these items would look like.

Upon closer inspection, it was unexpectedly not as mysterious and powerful as anticipated.

These are demons of a higher realm, defined by the boundaries of all things, and theoretically possess the ability to reverse and invert everything.

Of course, theory is just theory.

When Yakumo Yukari activates her abilities, she not only has to expend a full amount of her demonic power, but she also has to understand things before she can modify them.

It's like how ultraviolet rays, invisible to the human eye, are visible to other living beings.

Yukari Yakumo, a youkai of the Boundary Realm, can see things from a different perspective that other creatures cannot, and tries to understand them.

This talent can almost be described as a gift from heaven.

Even the most diligent human cultivators need to accumulate experience over several or even dozens of generations to be able to describe something, much like the blind men and the elephant.

However, the youkai of the realm of immortality, Yakumo Yukari, can see everything directly.

This may explain why Onmyoji would risk everything to capture Yakumo Yukari after they noticed her.

Sign Yakumo Yukari as a shikigami to gain the opponent's vision.

Even the least talented person has the hope of becoming the strongest.

The feud between the two sides probably began to unfold rapidly from this point onward.

"how do you feel?"

A crisp sound rang out from the side, pulling Yakumo Yukari's drifting thoughts back from the past.

She refocused her attention on the computer screen and the conjured image of Anna Hachimi's imagination.

"A simple device for sending and receiving information, its structure is far simpler than one might imagine, and it is merely a product based on a certain capability."

The blonde girl expressed her opinion in a detached tone.

A demon of a higher realm can see the true nature of everything before them from a different perspective.

Despite its trendy appearance, the true nature of the computer and screen in front of her could not deceive her eyes.

This is just a superficial aggregate of energy.

From Yukari Yakumo's perspective, the value of the computer and screen in front of her was nowhere near as high as the roaring steam engine outside the house.

The former is a genuine precision system composed of steam, gears, and various transmission structures, and stable production can be achieved as long as costs can be reduced.

The latter is merely a functional product that cannot be mass-produced after being given a certain concept based on its capabilities.

There were simply too many of these kinds of things in Yakumo Yukari's memory.

Various magical artifacts, countless gods and demons, the water mirror in Eastern Taoist magic, and the illusion technique in Western magic.

There are many cultivators on this land who can do similar things.

Even Yukari Yakumo could do it if she wanted to, but because doing such a thing doesn't align with her own beliefs, she would have to take a long detour and spend a lot of effort.

Yukari Yakumo: "To be honest, I'm a little disappointed."

Turning her head to look at Kaguya Houraisan beside her, she made no attempt to conceal her abilities and attitude.

Yukari Yakumo, now in the form of Merry, has a different personality due to the influence of her current hormones compared to her youkai form.

Indifference, pride, and bluntness are its typical characteristics.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Oh, I could tell at a glance. It seems your ability is quite special."

Yukari Yakumo: "I have a natural ability to see the boundaries of things."

Kaguya Houraisan: "A capability researchers dream of."

Yukari Yakumo: "That's why I came here. The steam engine outside is very ingenious. I originally thought I would see something even more ingenious inside."
