RPAGF Chapter 143 Reunion After the Years
Chapter 143 Reunion After the Years
Sanyu Plain
At this moment, a large group of little monsters were already waiting for the competition to begin. Above the small white clouds floating in the sky, the Earth God still sat there with his usual leisurely posture, a warm smile on his lips, watching the scene before him with a cheerful expression.
"Step back, step back, it is Lady Moon Goddess."
"Step back, step back, it is Lady Moon Goddess."
As a series of orderly sounds rang out, the men in black carried Fugetsu to Misumihara.
The previously noisy monsters quickly sprang into action, consciously spreading out on both sides to make way for Buyue.
The bamboo sedan chair slowly came to a stop not far from the Earth God. Bu Yue looked around and asked in a clear, cold voice, "Hasn't the harvest season arrived yet?"
"Please wait a moment, Lady Fuyue. Lady Fuyue has not yet arrived."
The Earth God stroked his white beard and said slowly.
"Ah."
Bu Yue responded softly, but her heart was filled with complex emotions.
It seems like Toyotsuki isn't coming back. The White Hat crew actually want a human to impersonate Toyotsuki. Do they really think they can't tell?
The real Toyotsuki left a thousand years ago, and what has remained since is merely a substitute shikigami, playing the role of Toyotsuki year after year and participating in the once-every-ten-year Tsukibun Festival competition.
Bu Yue sat silently on the bamboo sedan chair with her eyes lowered, her face behind the mask expressionless.
Over the years, although he would leave Misumi Mountain after each competition, he never stopped paying attention to Misumi Mountain and knew everything about the changes there.
Yu Bai thought that Tianyin Feimeng could deceive Bu Yue, but how could he know that Bu Yue had already realized at first glance that the "Feng Yue Goddess" dressed exactly like Feng Yue and with the same voice and temperament was not his Feng Yue at all, in the first ten years after their separation.
But even though he had discovered the truth long ago, Bu Yue never exposed it.
Because he knew that the shikigami before him was the only memento his friend had left him.
For thousands of years afterward, Bu Yue silently regarded Tian Yin Fei Meng as Feng Yue, competing with him every ten years, and then losing to "Feng Yue" as usual.
But this year, things seem to be different.
Bu Yue already knew that Tianyin Feimeng was sealed by a low-level demon exorcist three years ago, and the divine power on "Fengyue" was getting weaker and weaker. Presumably, this shikigami had reached its limit.
In that case, the Moon Festival will not be held again after this year's festival. Let this Moon Festival be the final one.
Hopefully, the humans that the Shirakabes have invited to help will be able to put on a perfect performance.
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of drums coming from not far away. He knew that "Fengyue" was coming.
!! !! ……Abundant...Month.
Bu Yue, who had already prepared himself mentally, looked in the direction of the sound, but when his gaze fell on the figure sitting upright in the bamboo sedan chair, the whole world seemed to stand still.
Bu Yue's heart raced uncontrollably, and he suppressed his excitement.
Even though the person was wearing a mask and their face was obscured, Fuyuki knew that the person was neither the human that Shirakasa and the others had hired to impersonate Toyotsuki, nor the original shikigami, but the real Toyotsuki.
That was his beloved Fengyue, his dearest friend whom he hadn't seen for a thousand years, the figure he had dreamt of countless nights. At this moment, all his waiting and anticipation turned into tears, flowing silently in his heart.
After a thousand years, they finally met again.
……
"Step back, step back, it's Lady Toyotsuki~"
"Step back, step back, it's Lady Toyotsuki~"
Yu Bai sat upright in an exquisite bamboo sedan chair, carefully carried to the competition venue by the White Hat Clan dressed in pure white.
As they drew closer to their destination, Yu Bai could already see the figure ahead dressed in a black kimono and wearing a black goat horn mask.
As the little monsters cleared a path for him to reach the Earth God, Yu Bai felt a strange sense of calm as he looked at Bu Yue.
All the anxiety, worry, and unease I felt along the way vanished at this moment.
At this moment, all he could see was that black figure.
"Long time no see... Bu Yue." Yu Bai murmured softly to himself, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.
This time, they were finally on the same timeline, free from the barriers of space and time, and they no longer had to endure the painful separation.
After a thousand years of waiting and anticipation, this moment of convergence has finally arrived.
The competition proposed by Bu Yue a thousand years ago has now come to an end.
I just don't know if Bu Yue is willing to go with him?
What if... what if he doesn't want to? ...Then kidnap him!
"It's so slow, Shirakabes! Hurry up and get here!"
Hurry up and bring them closer to Fengyue Goddess!
Beside the Moon Goddess, a small black-clad demon standing at the forefront, wielding a scythe, loudly urged the White Hat Clan on.
"Hmph! After what just happened, it's so dangerous over there, who would dare go there! Who knows if you'd swing your scythes at us if we went there!" one of the White Hats retorted rudely.
Ha! The Moon Goddess belongs to the White Hat Clan. Don't think I don't know what you black-clad men are thinking. I won't let you have your way!
"What!" The little black-clad monster glared angrily upon hearing this.
Damn those Shirakabes, they really don't like them!
"Dong Dong~"
Just then, the Earth God struck the drum.
"Welcome to Mt. Misumi, my two deities. This time, we will once again decide which deity will govern Mt. Misumi through a competition."
He sat on a small cloud, slowly drifting between Bu Yue and Yu Bai, looking at the two gods before him, and said with a smile.
One in black and one in white, one on the left and one on the right, two opposing camps, each surrounded by men in black and men in white hats, stood on either side of the Earth God.
This scene gave the surrounding fairies the illusion of time travel, as if they had returned to the Heian period when humans and demons coexisted.
Strange, this year's competition seems different from previous years. Why is that?
A subtle, indescribable atmosphere filled the air, leaving the monsters filled with doubt.
However, due to the presence of two deities and the tense atmosphere of the upcoming competition, they could only suppress their doubts and remain silent.
"Phew! Finally made it. So tired."
"Natsume, you still need to train."
"Mr. Natori, stop teasing me. Don't say anything yet, the match seems to be about to start."
Shuichi Natori and Takashi Natsume ran all the way and finally arrived here before the start of the match. They looked at the scene in front of them without saying a word, and stood quietly behind the little monsters.
……
Black-clad group: White-hat group, you're so slow! Hurry up and come here! (Hehehe~ Lord Toyotsuki~ Lord Toyotsuki~ Sticky~)
Shirakasa's crew: Hmph, you were chasing us before, who dared to go near us! (Get out of the way, Lady Toyotsuki is ours!)
Bu Yue: Feng Yue, we've finally met. (Thinking with longing and emotion.)
Yu Bai: I wonder if Bu Yue will be willing to go with me later? If she's not willing, then I'll just tie her up and take her back! (Making up his mind.)
