Looking at Fang Yi's overly calm expression...which was obviously a sign of him being used to it, Ibaraki Huashan smacked his lips.

After sighing deeply, Ibaraki Hanasu had no choice but to stand up and walk to the door.

As Itaki Huashan clapped his hands, Fang Yi was a little confused. He saw animals rushing out from nowhere and running straight towards Itaki Huashan, and each of them came up to Itaki Huashan affectionately.

And Ibaraki Huashan just looked at Fang Yi and said with a smile.

"Now that I've joined the Master, leave the task of finding information to me and these friends."

"What I lack the most here is manpower!"

Looking at Ibaraki Huashan's confident look, Fang Yi fell into silence, and his eyes looking at Ibaraki Huashan gradually became hot.

I have to say, it is rare to find such dedicated and hardworking employees these days.

Fang Yi will definitely give the title of Best Employee of the Year to Ibaraki Hanasu!

Chapter 58: Ms. Ibaraki Hanasugi, you can open a zoo!

"Really? It's such a hassle to coax Yurikawa-san to sleep. No wonder the owner never wanted Yurikawa-san to join us. With her personality, it feels like joining would only cause more trouble!"

Kotoko Iwanaga rubbed her shoulders, and a look of helplessness gradually appeared on her face.

At first, she was wondering why the owner didn't let Yurikawa join his side. She obviously had such powerful life energy, but he had no intention of recruiting her. Now, she understood. This operation of asking a million questions was enough to give her a headache, and coupled with her naive and simple personality, it seemed that joining would only make people worry.

Kotoko Iwanaga opened the door of the World Archives very skillfully and walked in slowly.

Although it was already late, she had no intention of going to rest. Ever since she became the God of Wisdom and even joined the gym owner, she had become accustomed to this kind of nightlife. Previously, the gym owner and Miss Ibaraki Hanaou discussed matters concerning the "Predator", and now that Miss Ibaraki Hanaou had joined, he was probably investigating matters concerning the "Predator".

After entering the archives, Kotoko Iwanaga suddenly felt a flash in front of her eyes, and feathers fell on her head.

Then, Iwanaga Kotoko saw eagles, tigers, lions, thunder beasts... and she was immediately confused.

These animals and monsters were walking and flying around in the archives, holding the archives in their mouths.

They were not making trouble, but were organizing the files very seriously, and some were even looking at the information in the files.

It looked like he was helping Ibaraki Hanasu and the museum owner look up information in the archives.

Watching this scene, Kotoko Iwanaga couldn't help but open her mouth wide, her face full of astonishment.

"Huh? What's going on here? When did the archives become a zoo?"

"That voice... turns out to be Ms. Kotoko. It looks like Yurikawa-san has already gone to bed."

The voice coming from somewhere made Iwanaga Kotoko look around, but she couldn't find the person who was talking.

Looking around, there are animals and monsters everywhere. If you estimate with your eyes, there are probably hundreds of them.

"Miss Huashan? But where are you?"

"Here, alright, alright...don't all come over here, these are not what the Master needs."

After comforting each animal, Ibaraki Hanasu's head popped out from among the group of animals, his face full of helplessness.

As Ibaraki Hanafu's head emerged from the group of animals, each animal lowered its head, and with an expression of obvious disappointment, they either walked away or flew away, allowing Ibaraki Hanafu's entire figure to appear.

This seemingly funny scene made Iwanaga Kotoko's expression very interesting.

After a long silence, Iwanaga Kotoko finally uttered these words.

"Ms. Ibaraki Hanaougi, you could open a zoo and become its director."

"I've been criticized by many people for this. If I stop being an immortal someday, I might actually do this."

Ibaraki Hanafugi chuckled, then continued to focus his gaze on the file in his hand.

Iwanaga Kotoko didn't say much, but just glanced at the surrounding animals and monsters with a little curiosity.

Slowly, Iwanaga Kotoko walked to Ibaraki Hanafumi and asked.

"Ms. Ibaraki Hanaougi, did the museum owner ask you to look up information here?"

"That's right. The museum owner said that if they want to continue investigating the Predator, the most effective way is to search the archives here. He can conclude that the problem lies with Miss Kagome of the Hanakaiin family, but he can't continue the investigation. After all, if he wants to investigate further, he can only start with the Kyoto monsters in Ibaraki, or the Hanakaiin family, or go to Hell to find Abe Haruaki to investigate. But no matter which of these three directions, the possibility of futile efforts is higher, and it is also dangerous!"

Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but nodded and spoke slowly.

"Indeed, the monsters in Kyoto are too dangerous. Yuyuko is no match for Ibaraki Douji. If the gym leader goes there, it will be a bit difficult to deal with him, not to mention Hell. If we had a way to go to Hell, Yuyuko would have rescued Abe Haruaki from the underworld long ago. Would we still need to give birth to him ourselves or look for Murong Yunya? And even if we could go to Hell..."

"Even if you go to hell, you can't defeat Abe Haruaki. That guy's strength has already exceeded the realm of monsters!"

Ibaraki Hanasu's expression was very solemn, which made Iwanaga Kotoko take a second look at her.

"Did Miss Ibaraki Hanaou fight Abe Haruaki?"

"Hmm... The Four Heavenly Kings of the Ghost Clan had a brief battle with him, but were defeated overwhelmingly. I can't imagine that guy has improved after all these years in Hell. A place like Hell, besides being unable to move freely, I guess they can't do anything to him. Of all the opponents I've ever seen, that guy is definitely the strongest!"

Ibaraki Hanasu shook his head and did not continue to mention Abe Haruaki.

"Of all the methods here, the most reliable one is the one with the Huakaiyuan family. However, the master has already established a good relationship with the two girls from the Huakaiyuan family. However, the progress over there is destined to be slow. As a former ghost, I am not suitable to appear in front of the Yin-Yang Master, so I will be responsible for investigating the information here, and we will make progress on both sides at the same time!"

Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko nodded, but after looking around, she did not see Fang Yi.

"So, where is the owner now? Is he out?"

"No, the owner is now deep in the archives. There seem to be several special rooms inside. It seems that the owner also wants to investigate something, so he went in directly without asking any more questions."

"Of course. The archives are divided into several departments. The first space we entered is the character archives department, which I'm in charge of. There are three other spaces: one is the weapon archives department, and another is the ability archives department. I'm actually not sure about the remaining space. The owner seems to go there often, and he won't let me in."

"I see, this place is quite interesting."

Ibaraki Hanafugi nodded thoughtfully, with a gleam in his eyes.

If I remember correctly, when the museum owner introduced himself to me earlier, he seemed to be planning to talk about four departments.

However, Ibaraki Huashan didn't think much about it. It was normal for a gym owner to have her own secrets. She had a good relationship with Fang Yi at the beginning, but she also hid secrets from each other. Fang Yi was the same, but this did not prevent them from having a good relationship.

Even if it becomes a superior-subordinate relationship now, it is still the same.

"I'll help you, Miss Ibaraki Huashan. This is my area, after all, so I know a little bit about it. Oh, and since we're investigating Cong Yunya, Miss Ibaraki Huashan can try to check out the Armed Archives Department..."

"Don't worry, I've sent my own monsters to investigate... Okay?"

Ibaraki Hanasu seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked at Iwanaga Kotoko who was approaching.

With a deep frown, Ibaraki Hanasu's expression became somewhat puzzled, which made Iwanaga Kotoko a little confused.

"What's wrong, Miss Ibaraki Hanaougi?"

"...Nothing, I just want to take a break. The owner told me to rest for half an hour after every hour of investigation before I left, so I shouldn't overwork myself. Could you hold my position here for a while, Ms. Kotoko?"

Ibaraki Hanafugi smiled and restrained his previous solemn expression.

"Of course no problem, leave this to me."

Kotoko Iwanaga patted her chest, her face full of confidence, and then she immersed herself in searching for information.

Ibaraki Hanafushi nodded, then walked straight towards the door of the archives. After stepping out of the door of the archives, Ibaraki Hanafushi did not stop, but walked straight out of the store, as if there was something important.

After walking a little further, Ibaraki Hanafugi finally stopped, and then—

Her eyes suddenly became stern, and the bandage covering the broken arm immediately moved in all directions, as if looking for something, until... a crack gradually appeared, and the bandage went directly in the direction of the crack.

Then, a charming figure gradually emerged from the crack, tightly bound by bandages.

"Ah! I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so long, Huashan, you would be so enthusiastic towards me and even engage in such erotic activities."

Ibaraki Hanasu didn't even bother to respond to the teasing voice, but just turned around and looked at the other person.

"What are you doing out of Gensokyo? You even left your scent on Miss Kotoko to remind me to come here to find you. I don't know what you want, but I warn you not to think of anything dangerous, otherwise Gensokyo will face a catastrophe. Then you'll regret it, Yakumo Yukari!"

"Hey, hey, hey... I don't have any other intentions, nor do I have any intention of touching that little girl. I still have respect for the shrine maiden of Kuenbiko. Don't worry, I won't provoke that little brother!"

The girl easily broke free from the bandages and raised her hands in surrender.

"I just noticed that someone seems to be about to become the guardian of the Great Barrier of Gensokyo, so I'm a little curious about who can allow you to stay at the Hakurei Shrine outside Gensokyo. By the way, I also want to see an old friend I haven't seen in a long time."

As she spoke, Yakumo Yukari extended her hand as if making an invitation.

"Long time no see, welcome back to Gensokyo! Ibaraki Hanafumi!"

Chapter 59: Yakumo Yukari: After all, I am also an invincible young beautiful sage!

Yakumo Yukari, if you were to talk about the people that Ibaraki Hanasu hates, this one would definitely be on the list, and one of the top ones.

The other person's playful smile, the mysterious aura surrounding him, and his attitude in doing things all make people angry.

——For example, the operation of calling myself out this time.

He secretly left his scent on Iwanaga Kotoko's body, just to let her notice it and call him out. The other party also grasped his thoughts that he did not want to expose the matter of Gensokyo to Fang Yi.

After all, given the relationship between Iwanaga Kotoko and Fang Yi, if Iwanaga Kotoko had the aura of a strange monster and she herself didn't know it, Fang Yi would definitely investigate, and might even end up investigating Gensokyo. In Yakumo Yukari's eyes, she would definitely not want this to happen, and she would definitely speak up at that time and come out to warn her specifically.

This kind of operation is really infuriating, not just the operation just now, but also the previous operation by Yakumo Yukari was like this.

With his brows deeply furrowed, a look of deep dissatisfaction gradually emerged in Ibaraki Hanasu's eyes.

"Yeah, it's been a while, but even after such a long time, you're still the same as before. I don't know if this is Gensokyo's luck or misfortune. It really makes me sigh."

"Of course it's Gensokyo's luck. After all, I'm the youngest youkai sage in Gensokyo."

Yakumo Yukari even put on a seductive look, but that only elicited a sneer from Ibaraki Hanasu.

"Perhaps it's Gensokyo's luck, but it's definitely Hakurei Miko's misfortune, especially the first generation..."

Before he could finish his words, the atmosphere around him seemed to freeze completely, and even time was affected.

The murderous intent was so terrifying that it was enough to suffocate ordinary monsters.

However, Itsuki Hanasu seemed to have sensed nothing at all. She just chuckled and looked at the other person with her arms folded.

"I thought you wouldn't react to something like this, Yakumo Yukari."

"I'm also a little surprised that you blocked me in this way."

Yakumo Yukari looked at Ibaraki Hanasu with a smile on her face, but Ibaraki Hanasu could see that there was no warmth in her smile.

Ibaraki Hanafu shrugged her shoulders, showing no intention of paying any attention to the other person. It can only be said that she treats people differently based on their attitude.

If it was another sage standing in front of her, her attitude would be friendlier, but it was a different story with Yakumo Yukari.

Yakumo Yukari knew that the other person didn't like her, so she just smiled and said.

"I was actually planning on building a good relationship with you, but now it seems so lonely."

"I don't intend to build a good relationship with you. Sages should just maintain their current non-interference relationship. Besides, I don't plan to return to Gensokyo right now, so you don't need to worry about me. It's enough to worry about the things in Gensokyo."

"Hehe... Then you've been living in the Hakurei Shrine outside, guarding the barrier."

Yakumo Yukari also smiled. She felt that Ibaraki Hanasu just liked to be tough on the outside world. She cared about Gensokyo very much, even in the outside world, but she just didn't plan to go back. She even planned to distance herself from her, obviously all for the sake of Gensokyo.

No, maybe her stance is indeed different. She is no longer the former Itsuki Hanafugi of the demon clan.

After noticing the look from Ibaraki Hanasu, Yakumo Yukari denied her thoughts.

"I just wanted to avoid any trouble."

When I first met Fang Yi, I was curious and surprised by Fang Yi's strength, so I planned to get along with him.

However, an overly powerful force would only bring disasters to some peaceful places. Although she did not return to Gensokyo, she was well aware of the internal situation of Gensokyo from the outside world, and she did not want any other force to break the balance.

So after that, every time Fang Yi looked for her, she would appear in the shrine and wait for him.

The reason is... Gensokyo's great barrier is right near the Hakurei Shrine, and she was worried about being discovered by Fang Yi.

However, after confirming that Fang Yi was not good at setting up barriers, she did not stay there any longer.

"Although you and I are not on the same side, I am still the sage of Gensokyo, and that will not change."

"That's enough. I was worried that you would forget about Gensokyo after you got a man."

Yakumo Yukari said this with a teasing look on her face, making Ibaraki Hanafumi roll her eyes speechlessly.

"Who do you take me for? Are you in love? Besides, Lord Fang Yi and I are just friends, not lovers. Miss Qinzi is Lord Fang Yi's lover. So I'm warning you, Yakumo Yukari, don't try to attack Miss Qinzi. Otherwise, if Lord Fang Yi causes trouble for you, I won't help. The first generation will show mercy to you and won't kill every monster he sees, but Lord Fang Yi won't. If he really wants to kill a monster, I can't stop him, and I'm not in the position to stop him!"

The extremely serious words made Yakumo Yukari nod her head. She was not a fool, and she also said that she also had respect for the priestess of Hisabiku. In that case, there was no conflict of interest between her and Fang Yi.

Yakumo Yukari's reaction made Ibaraki Hanafu nod, and then she slightly restrained her dissatisfaction with the other party.

"Alright! Now that we've finished catching up, it's time to get down to business. Tell me, what brings you out?"

Ibaraki Hanafu's eyes gradually became sharper and his arms became tense.

"Ever since Gensokyo was founded, I've been away on my own, first to pursue the Heavenly Way I believed in, and later to find my lost arm, whose seal was gradually weakening. After all these years, you've never appeared before me, let alone used such means to lure me out and meet me alone. If it were someone else, I'd think it was possible, but as for you... forget it!"
