The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"It seems a bit deserted."

"If there are only three people, there is nothing we can do about it."

It seems that the so-called eating without talking and sleeping without talking is nonsense, even if it is such an aristocratic family, as long as the master is willing, they can still have a good chat at the dinner table.

When it was time for dinner, the rigid Yoji refused to sit at the same table with the two of them no matter what, so Yuko was the only person who could chat with Wu Ye.

It was only at this time that he realized that only the three of them lived in this mansion.

At first he thought it was because Youzi's family was more frugal, so there were fewer servants, but after a long time, he said that her family had no servants at all, and even this dinner was in charge of the jealousy of the court teacher.

Thinking of Youzi's big appetite, which is exactly the same as Youyouzi's, Wu couldn't help sighing for Yaoji, it's really hard work for him.

"What's the matter, Takeya, is the food not to your liking?"

Feeling embarrassed that Youzi still has time to take care of himself, Wu Ye shook his head, clasped his hands together and said, "I'm already full, thank you for the hospitality."

"Eh, is that so?" After comparing the poor appetite of the two, Yuko looked at Takeya suspiciously, and the speed of eating was much slower.

"Youzi, do you eat like this every day, um—is it rich?" After thinking about it, Wu Ye still expressed his doubts in a more tactful way.

Sure enough, it would be bad as soon as these words came out, and the monster outside the door warned with sharp eyes like murder.

The guy with feelings also thinks that Yuko eats too much, Wu also thinks of it maliciously.

"Actually, it's not like I eat so much every day." Youzi blushed rarely, and explained, "Didn't I get a little frightened today, so I used more food to comfort myself."

"Scared?" The corners of Wu Ye's mouth twitched. If he was scared, he should be the one. In reality, he was slashed and then cursed. It's really unlucky.

"Yoji really scared me when it was defeated. If it wasn't Takeya who appeared but some other monster, I must have reported it in the underworld by now." Yuko said with lingering fear.

"Really? Speaking of which, Yuko, there's something I've always been curious about," Wu Ye glanced back at the indifferent Yoji, and asked curiously, "Why did you find a monster court teacher?"

"Uh, well, uh - there are many reasons, in short, I get along well with him, and that's enough, isn't it?"

"That's it." Seeing Yuko gossip about him, Wu also understood that the timing he chose was not right.

In fact, what Takeya originally wanted to ask was why you would find such a weak garden master. Of course, his original intention was definitely not to find trouble to confront Yaoji. This was Takeya's habitual way of talking.

By making some gentle jokes to attract Yaoji, who is obviously more difficult to deal with than Yuuko, to talk, you may be able to get some new information.

It's just that Yuko was the benefactor who took him in, and he was also his friend. Considering this, Takeru gave up on beating around the bush the moment he spoke.

Naturally, Takeya wanted to know more about the relationship between Yuyuko Saigyou in front of him and Yuyuko Saigyouji in Gensokyo than the relationship between Yuuko and Yaoji.

This question had been buried in Takeya's mind since he first met Yuuko.

If all this is just a coincidence and there is no relationship between the two, Wu will not believe it.

The two are so similar in appearance and name, and even the court master around them is the same person. There is also a strange story that Saigyou Yuuko himself said, that he became Saigyouji Yuyuko in his dream.

If there is any difference, I'm afraid there's only one difference——

The Saigyouji Yuyuko in front of Takeya at this moment is a human being, while the Saigyouji Yuyuko in Gensokyo is an undead.

Of course, there is a possibility that Takeya has thought of a long time ago. It is speculated from the timeline that Saigyou Yuuko may be Saigyouji Yuyuko during his lifetime.

This is the most likely inference. If it is inferred according to normal circumstances, the encounter between Saigyou Yuko and Takeya during the Heian period will definitely have a certain impact on Saigyouji Yuyuko in the future Gensokyo.

Because long before Takeya met Yuyuko, he had met Yuyuko’s predecessor, Yuuko. According to the time paradox, the future Yuyuko should have different reactions to Takeya in the future because of this encounter. .

But in fact, none of this happened. When Yuyuko met Takeya for the first time, she didn't realize that the two had met before.

This is also reasonable, because the undead will forget everything in life, so no matter what kind of encounter Yuyuko and Takeya had in life, Yuyuko will not remember it after death.

In this way, the shackles of the time paradox are perfectly bypassed.

Based on the above inferences, it can be speculated that Yuyuko Saigyou in the Heian period and Yuyuko Saigyouji in Gensokyo in the future are the same person.

But in fact there is a fatal loophole in this inference.

The conditions for the birth of the undead are very simple, that is, the death of the body. The soul abandons the memory of life and exists as a new independent individual. This is the undead.

That is to say, only when people die can there be undead birth.

But Youyouzi did not die.

This sounds like nonsense, and Wu Ye naturally didn't believe it when he first heard these words from Wen Wen.

By chance, Wu Ye, who had nothing to do, met Wenwen, who was collecting materials. By chance, he saw a photo album she had compiled into a volume, and found that there were a large number of photos of Yuyuko in it.

By threatening to promote her as a slut, Wu Ye only learned from Wenwen the reason why the other party photographed Yuyuko.

"Compared with more than ten years ago, she seems to have grown a little taller."

Although the original intention was just for fun, the more I investigated Wenwen, the more terrifying I found that there was something hidden inside.

The undead is a special existence born based on the death of the living. The moment she appears, she is destined to be the "dead". There are no dead people who can grow in this world.

But Yuyuko is still growing, even though it's only a little bit, she's still growing!

I remember that Takeya said jokingly at that time, "Could it be that you want to say that Miss Yuyuko is still alive?", but who knows, when he heard this, Wenwen's face turned pale, as if he had thought of something terrible. Same, left in a hurry.

Before leaving, I warned myself again and again that I must not tell anyone what I discussed today, especially Zi.

Wu Ye saw that Wenwen didn't seem to be joking, so he hid the matter in his heart and never mentioned it again.

Now that I think about it, if what Wenwen said is true and Miss Yuyuko did not die at all, at least she was not born after death like a normal undead, then there is absolutely no way that the Nishigyo Yuuko in front of her was alive. Youyouzi.

The living undead are already very weird, but if you add a human who has lived for more than a thousand years, it will be even more bizarre.

As a result, the meal ended with the two chatting. In the end, Takeya still couldn't figure out what the relationship between Yuuko and Yuyouko was.

But he had a hunch. Although there was no basis for it, his intuition told him that when he solved the mystery, he would probably understand the reason why the previous witches asked him to use the Ten Thousand Treasure Hammer to come to this era.
