Perfect Memento in Strict Sense: Chapter 3 - A Strange Ball of Light

  "Ah la! It seems Mo Er is going to snatch Lan away from us!"

  A dark crack suddenly appeared in the nearby void, and the crack was filled with sinister eyeballs.

  Interval

  Holding a sun umbrella and holding a folding fan, Zi walked out of the gap, sitting on the gap with her long legs crossed, smiling at Bachyun Mo and Lan.

  Lan hastily pulled back his body that was leaning on Bayun Mo's shoulder, stood up and tidied up his clothes before bowing to Zixing and saying: "Lord Zi!"

  Because of Yaiba's existence, Aoi no longer runs around wearing only an apron as she used to.

  "Sister, has your hibernation ended?"

  Baiyun Mo didn't go see the purple figure sitting in the gap, her slender fingers still plucking the strings of the guqin, and she asked without lifting her head.

  "It's really getting colder and colder, it's so heartbreaking..."

  Zi's figure suddenly appeared beside Bachyun Mo, stretching out his right hand to gently stroke his demon-like face for a while, then curling up Bachyun Mo's silk-like long hair, moving his wrist, wrapping it around his own arm, feeling the smooth sensation transmitted from the skin.

  The action is skillful and it's obviously not the first time.

  "Why doesn't the inkfish hibernate like us?"

  As a border yokai, hibernation is the fastest way for Murasaki to increase her internal yokai power, which is why she always hibernates.

  Similarly, Yakumo Moku also had the same situation, only that his desire to pursue power was not great, so he could always suppress the urge to hibernate that came from within his body.

  With the extra time, he almost all used it to learn various kinds of knowledge.

  As a result, apart from a certain black and white mouse, there is another person who likes to take things without asking in the underground library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

  At first, Patchouli and the others like Remilia suspected it was just Koishi Komeiji, but as time went on they also found something was off.

  It wasn't until later that Hachiguma Tsumu left a note revealing his identity when he came to take the magic books he wanted, that everyone finally understood who had been constantly borrowing books.

  As for this male youkai who can be considered precious in Gensokyo, the girls are still extremely curious about him.

  After all, apart from ordinary humans, male creatures with power are extremely rare in Gensokyo.

  Otherwise, this place would not be called Oriental Lily Township.

  The number of books stored in the underground library of the Red Devil Mansion far exceeded the 103,000 volumes of erotic novels that a certain nun, who was actually a house pet, had in her mind. They were 103,000 volumes of magical tomes, so it naturally became the best place for Yakumo Suke to borrow books from.

  As for borrowing without asking? Yuyuko Saigyouji, at least, always returned things on time after using them. This kind of behavior is considered very honorable in Gensokyo. At the very least, compared to a certain shrine maiden and black-white mouse, Yuyuko's honor is full to bursting.

  It's also because the books borrowed by Yakumo Yukari would always be returned after a while, so Patchouli had grown accustomed to it.

  After all, Bachiyun Mo was Zi's younger brother.

  Everyone in Gensokyo knows how much Remilia dotes on her little sister.

  It is worth noting that before Yakumo Yukari was born, Yuyuko rarely participated in the various banquets of Gensokyo, let alone host one herself.

  Because of Yakumo Yukari's birth, Reimu unusually held a banquet at Hakurei Shrine.

  The hearts of all monsters are like bright mirrors.

  Yakumo Mokuba was also labeled as someone not to be trifled with by most of the youkai.

  Looking at Violet leaning intimately against him, Yakumo's face overflowed with a warm smile.

  Perhaps it was because he had become a demon, but the memories of his past life as a human were still clear, yet now seemed to him like a long movie being watched from the perspective of an outsider, although he knew that was his own personal experience, it could no longer stir up even a ripple in his heart.

  It's been just three years since then.

  Nowadays, it is only when facing Yoru that Yakumo Mukuro's heart will stir up a thread of familial feelings.

  "Although I also have the urge to hibernate, compared to meaningless sleep, I'd rather learn more."

  Regardless of gender differences, the enchanting and mysterious voice made Zi's heart extremely calm.

  The monster sage, feared by countless monsters, leaned her head against Yakumo Mukuro's chest and rubbed it gently, then said: "Ara, Mukuro, you have plenty of time later, why are you in such a hurry?"

  As a boundary oni, Yakumo Suke's lifespan is almost endless.

  "The knowledge in this world is vast as the sea, even with more time, it's impossible to grasp its entirety."

  Starry black eyes gazed at the jade zither placed in front of him, and Yún Mò's ten fingers danced, another light and ethereal melody echoed.

  "Besides, if you just hibernate like this all the time and leave everything for Lan to do, it's not good in the end."

  Zi raised her head, the delicate folding fan in her hand closed and dotted on her charming lips, and her bright purple eyes were full of laughter.

  "Is Moer blaming me for making Lan Tai overwork? Or is she sympathizing with Lan?"

  Bei Zi teased him like this, Bayun Mo's face was expressionless, but Lan on the side felt a slight warmth in his heart, and his cheeks couldn't help but flush.

  "Prince Zi, I..."

  "No need for blue explanations, we all understand"

  Baiyun Mo looked at Zi who was laughing and having fun, her palm pressed the strings of the jade zither slightly, and the sound stopped abruptly.

  "Sister, there's something I want to tell you."

  Couldn't bear to see Lan being ridiculed by Zi, Bayun Mo changed the subject.

  "What's wrong?"

  "It's about my ability."

  Zi's expression suddenly became a few degrees more serious, and Lan beside him also showed a concerned look.

  Controlling boundaries is an ability that is too dangerous for others and also for oneself.

  Seeing the slightly worried expressions of Violet and Blue, Yakumo Suke smiled faintly: "No need to be tense, I just saw some methods for training spiritual awareness in the underground library of the Red Devil Mansion before, so I tried it out, and...".

  "What happened in the end?"

  "What can I say? Now there is a light mass in my spiritual sea that I don't understand, or rather, the light mass has always been there, but I just didn't notice it before."

  Light group?

  Is it still the light group appearing in the spiritual sea?

  Zi Wei furrowed her brow and stretched out her right hand to gently press against the forehead of Ba Yun Mo, whose skin was as white as jade. The demonic energy slowly probed inside.

  Baiyun Mo didn't resist in the slightest and directly allowed Zi's demonic power to enter his spiritual sea.

  This behavior is undoubtedly foolish in the eyes of outsiders, with a fragile spirit that allows others' powers to enter, undoubtedly putting one's own life in the hands of others.

  For Ba Yun Mo, Zi is now his closest relative.

  As for Zi, it was the same, the trust between them no longer needed any language to explain.

  "A strange ball of light..."

  After probing with spiritual power for a while, the light group in Ba Yun Mo's Spiritual Sea was still unable to be understood even with Zi's thousands of years of experience and wisdom.

  "We've never seen anything like this before."

  The right hand originally placed on Yún Mò's forehead hadn't been withdrawn, but instead had naturally come to rest on his shoulder.

  The delicate and plump body leaned a few more inches towards Bayun Mo, with a serene and joyful expression on her face.

  Moe's chest is really comfortable...

  "But we can be sure that thing won't harm you, so you can try to continue training it with the previous method later."

  Baiyun Mo nodded in agreement, he never doubted Zi's wisdom.

  "By the way, how's your training in controlling your boundaries going?"

  Yun Mo Duan raised his cup and took a sip of the red tea on the blue table, saying: "Most physical boundaries can be controlled, but conceptual boundaries are not yet possible."

  The power of the Eight Clouds Ink is still far from comparable to that of the Violet Phase. He can only control physical boundaries that exist and can be seen and touched, such as the surface of a lake or the edge of a table, but conceptual boundaries like life and death, light and darkness are completely beyond his grasp.

  However, Yakumo Yukari's abilities are not limited to Boundary of Life and Death. Being in Gensokyo, how could she not learn about the unique combat mode of Gensokyo - Danmaku?
