The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

"I'm not as idle as you. If I didn't have to guard against those monsters for a while, do you think I would waste time here with you?"

"Ahaha, sorry sorry."

Wu Ye held his head and showed an apologetic smile. At this time, it is estimated that Murasa and the others will return from the Hakurei Shrine without success, and it is only a matter of time before they find his trace.

From just now, Wu also vaguely felt a mutual attraction in the sky like the positive and negative poles of a magnet. Unsurprisingly, it should be the magic power of his body and other "fragments" in the hands of Murasa and the others. resonance.

Thinking about it this way, it shouldn't take much time for them to find themselves.

"Speaking of which, Takeya, you can finally go to heaven, right?"

"Well, although this is true, can you put it another way?"

"It's still the same," Sakuya's eyes were full of contempt, and he said meaningfully: "The ability of a thief is very fun to use, right?"

"Hey! Such a statement is the real disrespect!" Wu Ye blushed and said, "This is not my subjective wish. It happened when I realized it. What can I do?"

"Well, in fact, you don't have to do this. Although this ability sounds ugly, it's pretty good in practice, isn't it?"

There were waves of waves in Sakuya's calm eyes, and he said with a half-smile: "It's better to say that it's very powerful, isn't it? The first human being with demon power."

"...It feels like your tone is mocking me."

"No no, you misunderstood, I really think you are very powerful, Wu Ye."

Unexpectedly, Sakuya's tone was a bit teasing, but the heaviness in his eyes was quite serious.

"As a human being, you can actually manipulate the power of monsters, and it's not a coincidence, Takeya, how many kinds of power have you 'robbed' so far?"

"..."

Hearing this, Wu Ye's expression was a little stiff, thieves and bullies, one steals the other, neither is nobler than the other, but in theory, robbers are better than thieves.

But also more annoying.

"Oh, so, you misunderstood, Takeya, I didn't mean that."

Sakuya held her cheeks, and her eyes gradually drifted away: "You who can take 'power' from monsters, can you also take some other 'things'?"

"other things?"

"Don't you understand?"

Sakuya smiled helplessly, with a hint of bitterness vaguely provoking at the corner of her mouth, she turned her head, her silver bangs covered her face, hiding in her eyes under the silver thread, an inexplicable light seemed to Looking at the moon under the sea, the looming hazy color.

It was a little bit sad.

"It's longevity."

Sakuya's words were very light and light, and the seemingly mild taste gave Takeya an indescribable feeling as if he was suffocating.

"Hey, do you know? Me, Marisa-san, Reimu-san, what's the biggest gap between us and the young lady? Strength? Experience? Knowledge? None of them are right, it's lifespan."

Sakuya pushed her long bangs aside, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that in another 50, 70, or at most 100 years, we will die."

"..."

Wu also didn't speak, this unusually heavy topic made him a little out of breath.

"Do you know? Takeya, I worked in the Scarlet Devil Mansion when I was very young," Sakuya suddenly talked about her story: "At that time, I was not a full-time maid, and even at that time, the Scarlet Devil Mansion was still working. Not in Gensokyo."

"Then, your family..."

"They all work in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, as maids," Sakuya said with a smile: "My grandmother, and my mother, both served as the head maids of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but they said they were grandmothers and mothers, but they didn't. Blood relationship, just because I was raised by them."

"Then they now..." Wu Ye glanced at Sakuya apologetically. He seemed to ask unnecessary words, but the other party shook his head to express that he didn't care.

"When I was young, my grandmother was the head maid appointed by Miss Remilia. After that, my grandmother died and my mother died. Now it's my turn to be the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Miss Remilia is still the same, Time seems to have left no trace on her body."

Sakuya's voice was softer than the wind, but every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Wu Ye's heart, shaking his soul.

"I am very grateful to Miss Remilia," Sakuya said in a tone of reverence and even admiration: "As a monster, the lady can give me a sincere feeling as a human being, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Missy."

"why……?"

"Because if I die, all I have to bear is the pain of the moment of death, but the eldest lady has to bear the pain of separation until the day she dies."

Sakuya told the painful truth in a low voice: "The emotions given by monsters are far more precious than those of humans, because from the moment they decide to connect with humans, they are destined to bear the pain of parting."

Wu Ye was silent without a word, monster, these two words used to represent strength, fear, and doing whatever he wanted in his impression, but now maybe he needs to add a little more - pathetic.

"Human lifespan is just a flash in the pan in their eyes, this is the gap, this is the reality."

"Then, why?" Wu Ye took a deep look at Sakuya and asked, "Why don't you become a monster? Please Remilia, it's very simple, right? You can become a vampire with just one bite. ?”

"Let me ask you this question in reverse, Takeya."

Sakuya stared at Takeya, and slowly said: "You who already possess the 'monster power' are probably the closest existence to a monster among human beings, so if you want, maybe you can easily become a monster."

Saying that, Sakuya suddenly narrowed his eyes, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "No, maybe you now have begun to drift away from the concept of 'human being'."

"..."

Sakuya's words made Wu Ye a little startled, he had never considered so many things, because he felt that he was too young, indeed, according to the rules of the outside world, he was not even an adult.

But what about monsters?

Will there be a difference in their eyes between a human being who can live for ten years and a human being who can live for a hundred years?
