The Great Master of Gensokyo

Achievement points are the key to Saigyouji Hanyu learning the main skills. He tried clicking the "+" sign, and all 10 points were used up.

In the next instant, Saigyouji Hanyu felt that he had mastered the use of basic talismans.

At this point, Saigyouji Hanyu could see that the basic talismans had changed, and a ranking system had appeared.

Basic Spell Lv1: 10/100

Chapter 5 Yukari Yakumo and Yuyuko

How to obtain achievement points? Saigyouji Hanyu quickly saw the requirements of the task prompt.

"Daily Task: Create your first basic talisman."

"Reward: Achievement points +10."

The most important element in making basic talismans is the talisman paper. This talisman paper needs to be made from materials capable of holding spiritual energy, which Saigyouji Hanyu currently lacks.

"I can only ask Master Kamo. I can learn about it when I study Yin-Yang techniques." Saigyouji Yuusuke is now full of confidence.

He was confident that he could master the art of Onmyoji. However, whether he could become a true master Onmyoji and solve Yuyuko's problems was a real challenge for Saigyouji Habu.

"I should go see Yuyuko. I'll have to tell her about leaving sooner or later." With that thought, Saigyouji Hanyu decided to go to Yuyuko's garden.

Yuyuko's courtyard isn't too far from where Saigyouji Hanyu lives, but it's usually separated by walls, so you can't get too close unless you're allowed to.

For Saigyouji Hanyu to get to know Yuyuko, he needs to be accompanied by Konpaku Youki.

It is precisely because Saigyouji Yuyuko's power is too terrifying, capable of turning the living into the dead, that such power naturally inspires awe.

Previously, Saigyouji Hanyu had fallen seriously ill because he was not accompanied by the spirit demon Youki.

Now that his father has given him special permission, Saigyouji Hanyu will also pay attention.

In Yuyuko's yard, bored out of her mind, Yuyuko stood outside, gazing at the cherry blossom tree that hadn't bloomed in a long time. "I wish I could see the cherry blossoms in full bloom."

The little girl still longed for the outside world.

However, ever since she almost made her beloved older brother fall seriously ill some time ago, Saigyouji Yuyuko has become disgusted with her frail body and her terrifying abilities.

"If only I didn't have such an ability." Her mother died because of her, her father dared not touch her, and even though Youki watched Yuyuko grow up, he couldn't help her with her daily life.

The moon doesn't look so good tonight.

"I wonder how many people would want to possess your power. Your existence as a human is truly fascinating." A figure appeared beside Yuyuko, with a small, fair, and delicate face, and exquisite features that made her seem completely unlike a human, or perhaps she wasn't even human to begin with.

"Purple." Upon seeing Purple's appearance, Yuyuko exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, don't call me that so intimately. I have nothing to do with you." The woman rolled her eyes at Yuyuko. Despite her fierce appearance, Yakumo Yukari didn't frighten Yuyuko at all. "As a human, you feel so at ease with me, a youkai. Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?"

"No, I believe you, Yukari. Aren't we friends?" Yukari's innocent and naive words made her feel powerless to do anything about Yuyuko.

"No, I don't need any friends," she said haughtily.

Yokai don't need friends; all they need is for humans to maintain awe and respect. That's the meaning of their existence.

The age of gods has long passed.

This is the age of yokai, and Yukari Yakumo believes that yokai can continue to exist.

However, this future sage of monsters is not yet the sage of monsters that inspires fear, and probably does not understand the reason for the arrival of the age of monsters. The age of gods in Japan has ended, and the eastward spread of Buddhism has brought the beginning of a new era.

However, in this new era, there is no reason to accommodate the existence of superfluous gods, and the ancient Shinto of Japan has been defeated.

Thus, beings that should have been revered as deities by Shintoism became yokai (supernatural beings). Yokai, born of fear, found their place in the new era, creating a world where yokai and humans coexist.

Another reason is that humans no longer needed gods, which is why monsters were born.

"Speaking of which, your health seems to be getting worse and worse." At this moment, Yukari Yakumo turned her gaze to Yuyuko.

Yukari Yakumo never expected that Yuyuko, who was still full of energy, would be in such a bad state after only being away for a short time.

“Because my previous abilities went berserk.” Yuyuko’s mood soured when she mentioned this. “Only Yukari was unaffected by my power. My elder brother fell seriously ill because of me some time ago.”

"Thankfully, my brother is out of danger, otherwise I would have been very sad." Yuyuko, who had always been smiling happily, showed such a worried expression for the first time.

Yukari Yakumo didn't know how to comfort Yuyuko.

"I see." As a human, she's truly pitiful. If only Yuyuko were a youkai like her, she wouldn't be limited and bound by humans.

Humans are truly pathetic and weak creatures.

Such a thought flashed through Yukari Yakumo's mind. Of course, this was common knowledge for youkai; Yukari Yakumo was merely witnessing everything before her eyes, which deepened her impression of it.

"Yuyuko, are you there?"

Outside the courtyard, Saigyouji Hanyu's voice came from outside.

Yukari Yakumo, who was about to say something, couldn't help but look outside the courtyard. "It seems your brother has recovered quite well, but why is he here so late? Doesn't this kid know any fear?"

"Brother?" Yuyuko was somewhat surprised and hesitated.

When Saigyouji Hanyu visits Yuyuko, he never comes at night, and he is always accompanied by Konpaku Youki.

"I don't know. I'll go see what's wrong with my brother." After much consideration, Yuyuko decided to meet with Saigyouji Hanyu.

The fact that Saigyouji Hanyu had previously caused him a serious illness had already deeply saddened Yuyuko Saigyouji. She was now being very careful and had no intention of directly contacting him.

"Alright." Nodding slightly, Yukari Yakumo's figure quickly disappeared into the courtyard.

With the two siblings talking, there was no need for her, the monster, to stay here.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Yuyuko's heart raced when she saw Saigyouji Hanyu, but she was careful to maintain her composure.

"I just wanted to see you." Saigyouji Yuusuke, who was outside the courtyard, saw Yuyuko, whom he hadn't seen for some time.

You look haggard.

Upon seeing Yuyuko, Saigyouji Habu seemed even more heartbroken, which strengthened his desire to become a great Onmyoji in order to solve Yuyuko's problem.

Chapter Six: Yuyuko's Request

"Brother."

The little girl felt a little warmer. She longed to lean against Saigyouji Hanyu, but mindful of propriety, she did not leave her own courtyard.

"I'm leaving the Saigyouji family." He told them about the old Onmyoji's arrival and his intention to leave home to study Onmyoji arts.

"Brother, are you leaving the Saigyouji family?" She was a little reluctant to see Saigyouji Hanyu leave, because she didn't know when he would be able to return.

"Because I need to learn Onmyoji techniques." Saigyouji Yuusuke nodded, his beautiful eyes fixed on Yuyuko. "Don't worry, I'll come back once I've become a powerful Onmyoji."

"You won't be in Heian-kyo for long. If you master Onmyōdō, I'll be able to help you. I hope that one day I can get Yuyuko out of this courtyard and let her see the outside world."

Yuyuko's courtyard is a prison for girls.

His gaze was firm, completely devoid of any falsehood or pretense. This made Yuyuko feel embarrassed, because she had done such an outrageous thing.

"Brother, aren't you angry...?" The hesitant girl couldn't help but speak up at this moment, "I caused you so much trouble because I was sick before."

"It's not your fault," Saigyouji Yuzuru said softly, his eyes full of concern. "Take care of yourself at home."

Yuyuko felt somewhat at ease after hearing Saigyouji Hanyu's caring words.

"Brother, how long will you be studying in Heian-kyo?" Yuyuko asked gently, changing the subject to how long Saigyouji Hanyu would be away from home. Yuyuko couldn't help but worry about Saigyouji Hanyu leaving.

The girl felt inexplicably happy just thinking that Saigyouji Hanyu did it for her.

"It should be three years." Saigyouji Hanyu lied. The mission had a five-year time limit, but Saigyouji Hanyu hoped for three years.

Five years is too long for Yuyuko. Three years isn't short either, but she can still wait.

Yuyuko should have been a fifteen-year-old girl at that time.

"Wait for me," Saigyouji Hanyu said to Yuyuko. The girl looked at Saigyouji Hanyu for a long time, then nodded gently. "I believe in you, brother."

...

"A great Onmyoji?" Yukari Yakumo had already overheard their conversation, but she sneered, "What an arrogant brat."

Putting aside the fact that Abe no Seimei became a true master of Onmyoji during this era, his half-demon bloodline provided him with a great deal of help.

For a human to become an Onmyoji like Abe no Seimei is not an easy thing.

In particular, he was also thinking about solving Yuyuko's problem. Saigyou Ayakashi was a creature of the underworld, and he and Yuyuko were inseparable. How could he be solved so easily?

"This world isn't just a human world, it's also a world of yokai." Yukari Yakumo paused for a moment, then said to Yuyuko, "If you accidentally provoke a powerful yokai, how long can its abilities last?"

“My brother will become an incredibly powerful Onmyoji.” Yuyuko said, a little annoyed. “His teacher is the current master of Abe no Seimei, so he will definitely be able to train my brother to become a true Onmyoji.”

Kamo no Tadashi's identity is something everyone knows now.

Kamo no Tadayuki, Seimei's master, was truly the greatest, possessing incredible power. As a human, he could converse and laugh with a great demon; his achievements were no less than those of Abe no Seimei.

However, it's just that Abe no Seimei's current aura surpasses that of Kamo no Tadayuki in the past. Furthermore, Abe no Seimei is recognized by the Emperor and revered by the nobility, while Kamo no Tadayuki only has the identity of being Abe no Seimei's teacher.

As for his other achievements, they have faded considerably.

"Alright, even if he can become a true master of Yin and Yang. But your brother is a very popular guy with girls. Although his white hair isn't a normal hair color, he still has the looks to be a gigolo. Aren't you afraid that some noble lady will steal your brother away?"

Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but joke about it, which made Yuyuko gently shake her head.

"No, if my brother likes it, he'll get married sooner or later." The girl, who understood her physical condition, didn't want to ask for too much. "I don't want my brother to be unhappy because of me."

"Um, could I ask you for a favor, Yuuko?" Yuyuko seemed a little worried about Saigyouji Habu. "My brother will be leaving the Saigyouji family soon. If he encounters any problems on the way, could you help him deal with those monsters?"

"Although this request is difficult..." Yuyuko knew that her request would put Yakumo Yukari in a difficult position, and she was not sure if Yakumo Yukari would help her.

"Please, I'm a yokai. What are you thinking? He has Kamo no Tadayuki by his side, and that great Onmyoji can handle ordinary yokai. I'm a yokai, how could I possibly help humans?"

Yakumo Shiki looked at Yuyuko with a somewhat idiotic expression.

She should have eaten Yuyuko a long time ago; she was just a mere human.

Why didn't they eat it?

She encountered Yuyuko, a human, a long time ago. At first, she was just curious about the power Yuyuko possessed, but before she knew it, she became friends with Yuyuko.

In fact, Yukari Yakumo wasn't sure if she could be considered a friend.

However, Yukari Yakumo always feels very comfortable and relaxed when she's with Yuyuko.

Moreover, unlike other yokai that need blood to feed, yokai like her are like spirits born from the heavens and earth. It's just that the current era does not allow the appearance of gods, which is why Yakumo Yukari became a boundary yokai.

Even if she is a yokai, Yakumo Yukari is a powerful yokai.

"Hmph, fine, it's rare to see you being so sincere." Yukari Yakumo shook her head helplessly, her tone suddenly softening. "I will help your brother solve his problems when needed, but only to protect himself."

She softened and wanted to see Yuyuko smile more.

Chapter Seven: The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, the Hour of Demons

She agreed to protect Saigyouji Hanyu; it was the only thing she was willing to do.

The rest of the people have nothing to do with her, and besides, he has that great Yin-Yang Master by his side.

Although she was a demon of the realm and a powerful demon, she simply didn't want to cause trouble.

Onmyoji and yokai are inherently in an antagonistic relationship.

"Will that kid become an Onmyoji?" The image of the white-haired boy flashed through Yukari Yakumo's mind. She never imagined that Saigyouji Hanyu would have such talent.

"Thank you." A happy smile appeared on Yuuko's face. She knew that Yukari Yakumo would help her.

"Brother, it's a pity I can't stay with you anymore." Yuyuko felt very sorry.

Alone and powerless, that was all she could do to help Saigyouji Hanyu.

The moon is beautiful, but not perfect.

Yuyuko had never seen cherry blossoms in full bloom before; perhaps she would see them someday.

Saigyouji Habu probably never imagined that Yakumo Yukari and Yuyuko already knew each other. As a great youkai, Yukari wouldn't be so easily discovered, especially by humans.

Even Yuyuko's father, the "Poet Saint" Saigyouji Shojin.

After spending more than twenty days together and having learned enough, Saigyouji Hanyu set off for Heian-kyo.
