Chapter 876: Relocation

After Gensokyo was established, Yakumo Yukari did not stop her pace; after all, although Gensokyo had been opened, having numerous Youkai relocate to Gensokyo was still a project of massive proportions.

Heian-kyo, Kamo Residence.

"Father, recently many Youkai have been acting frequently, causing the public to be filled with panic. His Majesty hopes we can go and investigate what exactly is happening," Kamo no Yasunori said, bowing to Kamo no Tadayuki before him.

"I am already aware of this matter. You go back and tell His Majesty not to worry about it; this should be the final carnival of the Youkai. After this carnival, the Youkai in the world will become fewer and fewer," Kamo no Tadayuki waved his hand and said to Kamo no Yasunori.

"The final carnival of the Youkai?" Kamo no Yasunori was somewhat puzzled.

"You need not concern yourself too much with this matter; you may withdraw first," Kamo no Tadayuki said to Kamo no Yasunori.

"Yes, Father." Kamo no Yasunori bowed to Kamo no Tadayuki and then left this place.

"The era of Youkai is beginning to decline, and the era belonging to humanity is about to arrive. Is this the Gensokyo constructed to protect the final radiance belonging to the Youkai?" Kamo no Tadayuki chuckled, his tone full of admiration. "Truly worthy of being called the Sage of Youkai; Yakumo Yukari really has made a grand move! It is just that I do not know what kind of role Lingyun played in this."

Old Hell, many of the Oni are packing their things, preparing to head to Gensokyo.

Ibuki Suika is still carrying her large wine gourd, her tone carrying a hint of intoxication: "It's a pity that the young man couldn't see the scene of our relocation this time. Otherwise, I really would have wanted to hold a grand banquet to thank him."

"Didn't he say that he would definitely return? The young man is someone who would absolutely never break his word. When he returns, won't we just be able to prepare a banquet for him then?" Hoshiguma Yuugi said with a smile.

"Well, now that you mention it, I really do miss the young man's wine!" Ibuki Suika said, wiping the corner of her mouth.

"Ha, then let's wait until he returns and go raid his wine cellar," Hoshiguma Yuugi said, nodding forcefully.

The Netherworld, Yama Court.

Shiki Eiki sat in her seat, looking with a serious face at the two women standing before her. Behind her, Onozuka Komachi gripped the scythe in her hand, a trace of undetectable nervousness on her face.

"Sage of Youkai, you have brought your Shikigami to the Netherworld; what is it you want?" Shiki Eiki said, straightening her body.

"Well, little Eiki, no need to be so nervous. I have come this time because there is a matter I would like to ask for your help with," Yakumo Yukari said, waving the fan in her hand.

"The Sage of Youkai, who has already opened up a world, comes to the Netherworld saying she has a matter she wants to ask me, a Yama, for help with—that really is a rare occurrence. I tell you, I will absolutely not do anything that violates the laws of the Netherworld!" Shiki Eiki gripped the Rod of Remorse in her hand tightly.

In the past, Yakumo Yukari was just a Great Youkai. Although the wisdom represented by the title Sage of Youkai made her wary, it did not reach the point of fear; after all, behind her stood the backing of the Will of the Netherworld. But now, after opening up the world of Gensokyo, Yakumo Yukari could, in a sense, be considered a creator god, and the invisible pressure had also become much stronger.

"Little Eiki also knows about my opening of Gensokyo. Then I will be direct: although Gensokyo has now been established, the management personnel for the Netherworld are still vacant. I hope little Eiki can become the Netherworld manager of Gensokyo," Yakumo Yukari's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The Netherworld manager of Gensokyo?" Shiki Eiki was slightly stunned; she had not expected that Yakumo Yukari had come for this matter.

Just at this moment, Shiki Eiki's body stiffened, and her expression became strange, as if she were communicating with some existence.

After a long while, Shiki Eiki looked toward Yakumo Yukari's direction: "Fine, I accept this matter. But Yakumo Yukari, you must remember, even if I become the Netherworld manager of Gensokyo, I will not show favoritism in other matters!"

"As for that, very well, I agree," Yakumo Yukari was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"It is a deal." Shiki Eiki stood up. "Komachi, you will come with me when the time comes!"

"Yes, Lady Shiki!" Onozuka Komachi stood straight subconsciously.

But after she reacted, an expression of surprise appeared on her face: "Eh, eh, eh, Lady Shiki, I am going to Gensokyo with you?"

"What, you are unwilling?" Shiki Eiki glanced at her.

"Th-that, of course I am willing, of course I am willing!" A trace of cold sweat appeared on Onozuka Komachi's temple, and then she nodded forcefully.

After Yakumo Yukari and Shiki Eiki reached an agreement, she left the Yama Court. Outside the Yama Court, Saigyouji Yuyuko floated in mid-air, and behind her was Konpaku Youki, who was holding a long sword.

"Yukari." Seeing Yakumo Yukari come out, a trace of joy appeared on Saigyouji Yuyuko's face, and she floated directly to Yakumo Yukari's side.

"Yuyuko, how is the situation on your side?" Seeing Yuyuko, a trace of joy also appeared on Yakumo Yukari's face.

"It has already been handled. The Will of the Netherworld was unexpectedly easy to talk to; when the time comes, we just need to move Hakugyokurou over," Yuyuko's face carried a soft, fluffy smile.

"Is that so? That is great." A trace of joy appeared on Yakumo Yukari's face.

"Yukari, will Lingyun return?" Yuyuko asked softly.

"Rest assured, he will definitely return!" Yakumo Yukari's tone was full of firmness.

"Mm, I understand."

Lost Bamboo Forest.

"Princess, everything on the side of Taketori no Okina has been arranged," Reisen said respectfully, standing before Kaguya.

"I know," Kaguya nodded.

"Sister Kaguya, when will Teacher return?" Fujiwara no Mokou, who was beside Kaguya, asked softly.

"I do not know either. But, Teacher said he would return, so he will definitely return, won't he?" A mysterious light flickered in Kaguya's eyes.

"Yes, even if it takes a hundred or a thousand years, we will wait forever!" Fujiwara no Mokou said, resting her chin on her hand.

"Eirin, I leave the rest to you," Kaguya said to Yagokoro Eirin beside her.

"I understand." Yagokoro Eirin opened her hand, and countless techniques unfolded in her palm, slowly enveloping the entire bamboo forest.

Subsequently, only a flash of white light was seen, and the entire bamboo forest disappeared from its original place.

Sun Flower Field.

"Lingyun, I really look forward to our next meeting." The Flower Tyrant held her parasol, her voice dissipating in the wind.

Lingyun had once promised her that after her strength improved again, he would definitely fight her once more. Whether it was the previous battle against Tsukuyomi at the Moon Capital or this battle against the Dragon God, Lingyun had displayed strength far exceeding his own.

And now, before her lay a plan that could greatly improve her own strength, which was the newly opened Gensokyo; this was also one of the reasons why she had agreed to Yakumo Yukari's relocation into Gensokyo.

Demon World.

"Lady Shinki, you are daydreaming again," Yumeko said, looking at Shinki, who was lying on the table, with a helpless expression.

"Yumeko, Lingyun has left!" The ahoge on Shinki's head lay softly on top of her head, and her tone was also somewhat dejected.

"I know, but Lady Shinki, didn't Lord Lingyun say he would return?"

"But, the Dragon God's Qi is not so easily dispelled; who knows when he will return!" Shinki looked at the high pile of Demon World affairs before her, and her body even showed signs of turning gray.

"Lady Shinki, the Demon World is your Demon World, not Lord Lingyun's Demon World! Please stop always thinking about letting Lord Lingyun help you handle the Demon World affairs!" Seeing through Shinki's intentions, Yumeko shouted with annoyance.
