Alternative Yukari looked at Yukari with an annoyed face
Alt Yukari: Didn't I request you to defeat the Crane? Why did you choose to negotiate instead?
Yukari: The solution changed after I re-checked the situation in Hakoniwa. Unlike you who are a powerful librarian that never rely on human faith, those heavenly beings like the Crane, Gods or magical creatures relied extensively on human faith to sustain their existence.
Because of that they are suffering a danger of extinction once the human stopped believing in them. The first sight of the danger already appeared from the previous war when the gunpowder technology began to rise at the final stage of the war while some of the scholars who lose their faith in religion began to seek for a non-religious philosophy that could deal with the fact the Gods on Hakoniwa didn't intervene into the human affair anymore.
Within a few centuries the decline of religion will be unavoidable, the downfall of the Library was just the beginning. Gunpowder technology will soon replace librarians as a powerful librarian like Vạn Thư was extremely rare these days.
The Crane was right about the part that it should leave the human to their affair so that they could reach enlightenment upon their own, without the Gods guidance they began to seek for their own way of adapting to the change of history.
That's why I negotiated with the Crane and other Gods on Hakoniwa to make them compromise with you in order to turn your plan into a reality.
Alternative Yukari had been thinking about everything her parallel said
Alt Yukari: So you want me to work with them to govern my isolated world in Hakoniwa even if we had a bad argument back then?
Yukari: It had been a very long time since that conflict between you and the Crane happened.
What they cared now was surviving the tide of the history as they began to believe in my words, their believers had been steadily declining over the recent years.
Yukari began to return to Gensokyo, just before that she said her last advice
Yukari: Remember the important rule in Gensokyo: A compromise between all sides keep Gensokyo in a harmonic existence.
Alternative Yukari began to lie in her sofa with a deep though as Yukari entered her boundaries
Meanwhile in Suzunaan
Kosuzu: I wondered how you and your decoy managed to enter the Human Village safely without encountering any Yokai? I heard that Yokai would harm human who didn't live inside the village.
Vạn Thư: I teleported myself out of hurry from Hakoniwa so I already appeared inside the village by the time the scroll brought me here. As for my decoy she was being made with pure magical energy so she shouldn't be treated as a normal human but more of a raw energy entity.
Akyuu: Does Yokai classify as magical creature? I heard you mentioned about that words which made me wondered if the term Yokai was similar to your term or not.
Vạn Thư: Maybe? So far it seems there are plenty kind of magical creatures in Gensokyo and my definition from Hakoniwa might not match each other. In the definition of Hakoniwan magical creatures it includes those who were magical being, strange creature or being created by magic.
In a way I myself and the rest of librarian would be treated as some sort of magical creature because we could cast magic and we had been living with a longer life span than normal human. Still, we often separate the term out in Hakoniwa to make it easier to categorize.
But for the Yokai definition I honestly don't know too much about it.
Akyuu: If you match that definition into Gensokyo then the librarian on Hakoniwa would be roughly similar as magician who is also a species of Yokai while the magical creature would be roughly similar to Yokai in a sense that they are both supernatural being.
In fact, some of your definition from Hakoniwa seems to match the Gensokyo definition even if their name was different.
Also, how come the Legendary Crane showed up in Gensokyo even if it was a deity in Hakoniwa?
Vạn Thư: It was an exception though, normally the Crane has the ability to show up everywhere not just Hakoniwa but because of the need of governing the other Gods in Hakoniwa it never showed up in here unless a librarian from the Great Library of Hakoniwa summoned it in a correct circumstance.
Those 1000 paper cranes worked in here only because of me, I was a chosen librarian in Hakoniwa and it took me a long time to understand what a chosen librarian actually meant.
Because every librarians of the Library got a special blessing of being able to make a ritual to summon the crane I decided to testify that rule in Gensokyo to see if it happen or not.
Anyway, I'm going to live in a new home. Do you want to visit it?
Kosuzu and Akyuu jaw gapped as she got herself a new mansion!
Vạn Thư: I actually got welcomed by this rich lady in the village as she was a big fan of my books. So far she allowed me to rent a small room in her mansion with a generous price as long as I constantly publish a nice book for her to read.
Kosuzu: Being popular is an unfair advantage…just like Akyuu…
Kosuzu started to feel a little bit jealous when she saw how much luxurious that mansion was
Akyuu: Living in a wealthy manor wasn't that easy…not only you have to face pressure from your family and servants but you are not being allowed to have any freedom unlike you, Kosuzu.
Himari: Ah yes isn't that your friend?
A friendly lady showed up in front of them, she was a big fan of Vạn Thư and her books thanks to the fact Vạn Thư revealed her true identity in the café next to Suzunaan previously. Himari was quite a friendly person who built up her own fortune by being a businesswoman.
Himari: It was quite a blessing to know your identity as an author and it was an amazing thing that you were a friend with the legendary Hieda Clan in here.
Kosuzu looked at them with a bored face as she feels like a random commoner but Vạn Thư welcomed her into the mansion
Vạn Thư: Without Kosuzu I couldn't make myself famous in the first place. Hence why I wanted to let her live in the mansion as well!
Kosozu gasped as her kindness, Himari simply smiled as she allowed her friend to stay in her mansion as long as Vạn Thư keeps publishing books to entertain her. Everyone was having a good time that night in the mansion.
