The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

'To contract with Houraisan Kaguya, you have to pass Houraisan Kaguya's trial?'

Hakuto's brow furrowed slightly. Kaguya was just an ordinary person. How could she possibly pass Houraisan Kaguya's test?

As if noticing Hakuto's concern, Yagokoro Eirin said to him, "Don't worry. Since you came in with the contract, Eientei will absolutely not do anything to harm you. Even if you don't pass the trial, we will simply refuse the contract. And the trial isn't about testing strength, but wisdom, strategy, courage, decisiveness, and so on."

Hakuto breathed a slight sigh of relief. He looked at Kaguya.

Kaguya directly said, "I agree. I am willing to accept the trial."

Hearing this, Hakuto reminded Kaguya, "If it's impossible, then give up. I'll find you a better contractor later."

Yagokoro Eirin's eyebrow slightly raised. Her gaze towards Hakuto changed slightly, 'What did this guy mean by that? Find a better one later?'

Kaguya nodded. "Don't worry. I will definitely pass the trial."

Yagokoro Eirin said to Reisen beside her, "Reisen, take this young lady to Kaguya. I need to have a good talk with this gentleman."

"Yes, Master. This young lady, please come with me. I'll take you to see Princess."

After Reisen and Kaguya left, Yagokoro Eirin finally asked Hakuto, "You didn't come to Gensokyo just to bring this girl here to form a contract, did you? The contractors on you are more powerful than most of the Spirits in Gensokyo. You could have found a suitable person for this girl to contract with completely without coming to Gensokyo."

"A friend of mine was captured by the Boundary Yokai. So this time, I'm also taking the opportunity to bring my captured friend back."

"Boundary Yokai?"

The motion of Yagokoro Eirin, who was about to sip her tea, paused. Then she looked at Hakuto in front of her and said to him, "You know, this Gensokyo was created by that Boundary Yokai. Her strength is the greatest in Gensokyo. Even those contractors on your body might not be able to do anything to her."

"So I asked the Hakurei Miko to help me bring the person back. Under the rules of Gensokyo, even the Boundary Yokai who created it is no match for the Hakurei Miko."

Yagokoro Eirin put down her teacup. "You seem to know quite a bit. But since its establishment, no information about Gensokyo has ever been leaked. So I am very curious about how you obtained this intelligence about Gensokyo."

Asking the Hakurei Miko to request a person from Yakumo Yukari was undoubtedly the most reliable and safest method. But she wondered how did Hakuto, an outsider, know this?

"How did you learn about Gensokyo? And how did you know to ask the Hakurei Miko to retrieve someone from Yakumo Yukari for you?"

"I can't tell you that. But I can answer that not many people outside actually know about the existence of Gensokyo."

After answering the question, Hakuto looked at Yagokoro Eirin. "So next, I'll ask you. I want to know the difference in strength between you and the Boundary Yokai, and your view of the Boundary Yokai."

"You really know how to take advantage. But since you answered my question just now, I'll answer yours now."

She took a light sip from her teacup, then Yagokoro Eirin finally spoke. "The difference in strength between me and the Boundary Yokai Yakumo Yukari is not significant. However, her abilities are strange. So if we really fought, I would be slightly inferior to her. If we fought to the death, I would die, and she would be severely injured and near death. As for my view of Yakumo Yukari... she is a very strange Yokai. No one or Yokai knows how she appeared."

"All we know is that after Yakumo Yukari appeared, she created Gensokyo. Then she brought us to live in Gensokyo. As time passed, it has already been several hundred years."

Listening to Yagokoro Eirin's words, Hakuto's mood became somewhat heavy.

He had a feeling that Hakurei Reimu would not be able to bring Mai back. So, while he had the chance, it was best to learn as much as he could about Yakumo Yukari.

But the news he heard from Yagokoro Eirin's mouth made Hakuto's heart sink. The stronger Yakumo Yukari was, the more difficult it would be for Hakuto to take Mai back from her.

He could only hope that Hakurei Reimu would be able to bring Mai back. Otherwise, if Hakuto wanted to take someone from Yakumo Yukari, he might have to face all of Gensokyo.

While Hakuto and Yagokoro Eirin were talking, Kaguya, led by Reisen, met Houraisan Kaguya. But looking at this slovenly woman, a question mark appeared above Kaguya's head.

"You're here. Wait a moment. I'll beat this level right away."

Houraisan Kaguya rapidly pressed the buttons on her game controller. Soon, she had knocked out her opponent in the game.

Then she tossed aside the game controller. Houraisan Kaguya looked at Kaguya and said, "You seem very surprised."

"I am indeed very surprised. I didn't expect the legendary Kaguya from 'The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter' to look so slovenly."

"So, the Kaguya from 'The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter' in your imagination should look like this, right?"

As her voice fell, the previously slovenly Houraisan Kaguya immediately transformed into a woman wearing a gorgeous twelve-layered ceremonial robe, exuding an indescribable nobility from head to toe.

The first time you saw her, you would think, "This woman is no ordinary person; she must be a celestial maiden descended to earth."

"It seems the Kaguya from 'The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter' in your impression looks like this."

Kaguya regained her composure. Then Kaguya looked at Houraisan Kaguya. "Alright. What is your trial?"

"If you beat me in a game, I'll form a contract with you. How about that?"

Kaguya: "???"

At this moment, Kaguya was completely dumbfounded, 'The trial was for me to play games with her?'

She had prepared herself for all sorts of battles of wits and courage along the way, and she never expected it to end up like this.

"You... are you sure?"

"Of course. If you beat me at the game, then I'll form a contract with you. It's very simple, right?"

Looking at Houraisan Kaguya, Kaguya immediately agreed.

"Then it's a deal."
