Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

In short, after her honesty with Kurokawa Kazuya, she chose to match him with Houraisan Kaguya.

Kaguya Houraisan: "This can actually be understood as her subconsciously not wanting to push Kurokawa out."

Despite having never been in a relationship, the princess speaks eloquently about love.

At this moment, she shook her head, looking as if it were none of her business.

Kurokawa Kazuya: "You're acting so indifferent. Be careful, Your Highness, one day you might actually fall for me."

Perhaps it was because of the calmness in Kaguya Houraisan's tone.

Kurokawa Kazuya rolled his eyes in annoyance as he retorted.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Disagreeing with rebuttals is pointless; it's a difference in function. The Moon People, who don't experience envy, jealousy, or comparison—emotions that cause disharmonious competition—don't have possessive emotions like love."

The moon is a pure world, and the people of the moon are a pure people who have no disputes with each other.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "But Your Highness, haven't you been feeling envious lately?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "Tsk tsk tsk~ Narcissist."

The princess in the moon gave her comments on Kurokawa Kazuya.

She's only slightly envious now; the difference between this emotion and normal feelings is like the difference between a seed and a tree.

Kurokawa Kazuya rolled his eyes: "It's quite strange that you, Kaguya, use the word 'narcissism'."

Meanwhile, Yukari Yakumo, who hadn't left with Yuyuko, quietly watched the two arguing and pondered the situation.

Having mastered the power of realms, she was able to transform herself from a demon into a human, so it is only natural that she could also transform so-called Moon People into normal humans.

However, this matter cannot be revealed for the time being, since revealing it would essentially expose her identity as a demon.

Boundary Demon Yakumo Yukari is a unique youkai that exists only once in the world and does not belong to any race.

Her abilities are so pronounced when fully activated that perhaps only she could alter the race of others.

This is tantamount to openly revealing one's identity.

Yukari Yakumo: "It could be used as a different kind of bargaining chip in case of an emergency in the future."

With these thoughts in mind, the demon of the realm lowered its head and began to plan for its future.

And it was during this process of thinking that she did so.

"Merry."

Kurokawa Kazuya's voice rang in her ears.

"Here I am."

The blonde girl nodded.

Without needing any prompting, she followed the other person toward the direction where Yuyuko was.

As we got closer, the fragrance became increasingly intense.

Food is something people only study when they are well-fed, clothed, and have leisure time.

Simply put, the option of "delicious food" only comes into play when being full is no longer enough to satisfy a person.

This world and this era are still in a state where basic needs like food and clothing have not yet been met.

She hadn't paid much attention before, but at this moment, Yukari Yakumo noticed the unusually troublesome way of eating it.

Mix flour and eggs together, add chopped cabbage and onion, and cut the octopus tentacles into small pieces and set aside.

The mixed flour paste is then poured into a specially greased iron vessel and baked at a high temperature.

Once the temperature reaches a certain level, add the octopus tentacles and quickly flip them over.

Repeating this process multiple times, the final product, known as takoyaki, is created.

Watching Saigyouji Yuyuko's skillful movements, Yakumo Yukari felt a strange sense of indignation at seeing someone wasting their life on trivial pursuits.

After all, from a human perspective, time is a very precious thing.

To achieve breakthrough after breakthrough before the end of one's life, spending time on fancy food is simply a sin.

However, considering Yuyuko's predetermined lifespan, it seems there's nothing wrong with what the other party is doing.

"Ah~~~"

A gentle voice sounded in my ears.

When Yukari Yakumo realized what was happening, she saw Yuyuko Saigyouji holding a takoyaki ball to her lips.

The pink-haired young lady looked at Yakumo Yukari with a bright smile on her face.

This scene, where she is interacting with Yukari Yakumo in front of everyone, is exactly the kind of scene that Yuyuko Saigyouji longs for.

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

His gaze unconsciously drifted to his surroundings.

She then saw Kurokawa Kazuya and the others looking at her with rather curious expressions.

Having once slaughtered countless people, and now serving as a mediator among yokai, Yukari Yakumo is notorious among them.

If others saw her being fed by a human in public or something.

If people find out, the image she has worked so hard to cultivate will collapse.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Isn't Meryl going to eat?"

With her red eyes blinking, the pink-haired young lady suddenly spoke.

These words made Yukari Yakumo realize that she was now the human Merry, not the youkai Yukari Yakumo.

Chapter 62 Banami: Dump Me

Masks are magical things.

For some beings, what is revealed after concealing their true appearance may be a side completely different from their usual self.

For details, please refer to the starkly contrasting images of some people online and in real life.

At this moment, Yukari Yakumo probably felt this way. She had already put on the mask called Merry, so it wasn't a big problem for her to do many things that she couldn't do in the past.

It's unclear whether the emotional changes are due to hormonal changes within the human body itself.

In short, Yukari Yakumo, who had always maintained a sage-like image among the yokai, opened her mouth and put the takoyaki that Yuyuko had given her into her mouth.

The scalding hot flavor and unique texture burst in your mouth.

This food, which wouldn't be considered particularly delicious in modern terms, would certainly be considered a delicacy in an era when even iron pots are rare.

Yukari Yakumo: "Oh~"

She almost subconsciously opened her mouth and exhaled white breath. Now using a human body, Yukari Yakumo would naturally open her mouth when encountering something too hot.

However, it is precisely because of this that she is able to appreciate the unique taste experience brought about by the heat of the food.

After Yakumo Yukari swallowed the food.

She then saw a pink head in front of her that seemed to be getting closer to her.

The pink-clad young lady placed her hands on her chest and opened her mouth.

"Ah~~~"

Saigyouji Yuyuko spoke up again.

The meaning is quite clear: she intends for Yukari Yakumo to feed her.

Having already relaxed somewhat, Yukari Yakumo didn't have many reservations at this moment, and she also picked up a takoyaki.

In the twilight, the two girls fed each other.

The aloof and somewhat STEM-oriented Mary, and the elegant yet somewhat naive young lady from a wealthy family.

The two, both strikingly good-looking, blended together with the surrounding scenery, creating a strangely beautiful effect.

Kazuya Kurokawa, Anina Hachimi, and Kaguya Houraisan watched their interaction from the side.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Is this how girls interact?"

Having never been involved in female social circles in either of his two lives, Kurokawa Kazuya initiated a question-and-answer session with Hanami beside him.

Anna Hanami: "Emmm...that's about right."

The blue-haired beauty thought for a moment and then gave her an answer.

The relationships between girls are different from those between boys.

Boys who meet girls who look like girls will think the other guy is effeminate, but girls who meet another girl who is handsome will genuinely think that the older sister is very cool.

Handsome guys don't attract other guys, but pretty girls really do attract other girls.

Physical contact between girls is generally more open than between boys; shaking hands, feeding each other, and kissing are quite normal, and even kissing is not a big deal for some women.

It's not uncommon for straight women to unknowingly deceive lesbian women, but I've never heard of a straight man deceiving a gay woman.

Kaguya Houraisan: "Kurokawa, if you get together with Yuyuko, it's already a buy-one-get-two-free deal, but now it's a buy-one-get-three-free deal. If you can get Yuyuko, you'll also get Merry as a bonus. It's practically a steal."

Princess Yue Shang, dressed in a kimono, elegantly picked up some grilled meat, dipped it in soy sauce, and put it in her mouth, all while uttering words completely at odds with her moon-like demeanor.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

He turned his head and looked at Kaguya Houraisan with the same gaze one would use on a rare creature.

How could this guy say something like that in a situation like this?

Kaguya Houraisan: "What, are you trying to learn from Yuyuko and feed me to win my favor?"

The beautiful princess then opened her tiny mouth.

Seeing this, Anna Hanami nodded and placed the chopsticks in Kazuya Kurokawa's hand.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

He picked up a piece of meat from the grill, dipped it in soy sauce, and fed it to Kaguya Houraisan.

She then ignored Kaguya's mocking smile and turned to look at Hanami.

The blue-haired girl was busy eating by herself at that moment.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Would you like a piece, Hanami?"

She placed a slice of meat on her chopsticks and addressed the other person.

Anna Hanami: "Is Kurokawa trying to please me after he's been trying to please Kaguya?"

Kurokawa Kazuya: "Just pretend that's it, so eat..."

Before she could finish speaking, Banami had already opened her mouth and eaten the meat that Kurokawa Kazumi was holding on his chopsticks.

Hanami Anana: "I've finished eating."

Then he turned his head and continued grilling the meat on his own.

Seeing this, Kaguya Houraisan smiled at Kazuya Kurokawa and raised her chopsticks. Kazuya Kurokawa smiled back, and everything was understood without words.

Anna Hanami: "Hey, you two, stop acting like I'm being unreasonable, okay?"

Kaguya Houraisan: "Alright, Ms. Hanami, who is preparing to abandon love and become an unparalleled powerhouse."

The princess in the moon was very serious.

The blue-haired girl lowered her head and ate much faster.

Upon seeing this, Kurokawa Kazuya shook his head and changed the subject:

"Let's talk about how things are going with you, Banana. My game is almost finished. How many subscribers do you have on YouTube?"

Hanami Anana: "!?"

Her eating paused slightly as she slowly raised her head.

Hanami Anna: "There are about 100,000."

She tried to appear nonchalant, but her words, spoken at a noticeably slower pace than usual, betrayed her true feelings.

The initial stage is often the most difficult, not to mention that Banami spent a considerable amount of time in the process constantly refining her style.

Because Hanami speaks Japanese, her fanbase is primarily limited to Japanese people.
