Chapter 1. Princess Kaguya's Awakening Memory

Chapter 1. Princess Kaguya's Awakening Memory

In the cold Lunar Capital, Princess Kaguya of the Moon, daughter of the moon god Tsukuyomi, possessed a beauty that even gods would call dreamlike. Her daily routine consisted of wearing elaborate twelve-layered kimono and staring blankly at the desolate universe from deep within the palace.

Boring, tasteless, dull.

While being "triple negative" might be cute, a "triple negative" life was far too uninteresting. Until one day, Houraisan Kaguya suddenly awoke from her daily daze. The additional memories in her mind made her frown repeatedly.

Those were the complete memories of a youth who lived in the 21st century. It wasn't that she had received external memories, but rather...

"I remember..." A soft sigh echoed through the bejeweled palace.

Houraisan Kaguya never expected that she was actually a transmigrator. Moreover, her favorite character before transmigrating was Houraisan Kaguya. She had lost her memories at birth and only now remembered.

What was this? Becoming the character she liked?

Kaguya paced to the mirror, looking at her reflection. Slender, straight legs; skin like congealed cream and beautiful jade; delicate fingers half-hidden in her sleeves. And the towering mountains barely visible when she looked down.

Her figure was as graceful as a spring willow, with long, straight black hair falling naturally. Her eyes were bright and beautiful like autumn waters, her lips like peach blossoms - tender but not coquettish. Her ice-jade skin made her appear even more delicate and beautiful.

Her temperament was gentle and dignified, untainted by the mortal world, yet her breathtakingly beautiful face was utterly captivating. She perfectly blended elegance and allure, capable of enchanting all beings with a single glance or smile.

Her past self would probably lose all reason upon seeing this. After all, it was herself.

Houraisan Kaguya put her hands on her hips. From her past life's perspective, it would probably be so regrettable as to make one vomit three liters of blood. If one could have such a wife, they would gladly offer everything, including their soul.

But who knew she would become like this herself, rather than possessing such a partner?

However, it didn't matter. Houraisan Kaguya couldn't empathize with this. After all, she was born as Houraisan Kaguya and had lived as Houraisan Kaguya for hundreds of millions of years.

Hundreds of millions of years and a mere twenty years were incomparable. The past life was the past life, and now was now. The past self was herself, and the current self was also herself. It wasn't a case of someone becoming someone else. Now, she was only Houraisan Kaguya and would only be Houraisan Kaguya.

However, those twenty years of memories contained quite a lot. Especially all the 21st-century entertainment she had experienced in those twenty years.

The cold Lunar Capital had already made her feel quite bored, which was why she spent her days daydreaming in her chambers. Now, with these memories, the contrast made her even more bored.

So bored that she collapsed on the ground, her eyes losing their light.

This wouldn't do. It was unacceptable. She would be driven mad by boredom.

Unless she sealed away these memories. But these memories were interesting, not only giving her a fresh feeling of transmigrating to a fantasy world but also containing many memories about Touhou Project's Gensokyo and other worlds.

She couldn't bear to seal them away.

So the only solution was to find amusement to alleviate her boredom.

The first order of business was to leave the Lunar Capital. She couldn't stand staying there for another moment. Staying there was like being in prison.

And she had been in this prison for millions of years.

What kind of human suffering was this?

Her deranged mother and the ill-intentioned Lunar Sages were secondary concerns. Although they might someday, for some experiment, require her to marry her nephew, and possibly even her nephew's child.

Given how deranged these people were, they were capable of such things. Just like the future Watatsuki sisters, who were arranged from a sisterly relationship to a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.

However, Houraisan Kaguya didn't really care about this. It didn't matter; Eirin would intervene. She would never fall to such a state, and she had her own ways of dealing with it.

So the urgent matter was still to go out and find amusement.

The Earth - there were many amusements there, and many "acquaintances" as well.

As for the method of going to Earth...

Recently, out of boredom, she had actually thought of causing some trouble. Having Eirin help create the Hourai Elixir. Letting a touch of "impurity" appear in this "pure" Lunar Capital.

Now... Taking this opportunity to go to Earth wasn't bad either.

She could act coy and have Eirin come down with her. To start a new, interesting life on Earth together.

These were simple, just needed to be done step by step. But there was also a problem: how to bring the Watatsuki sisters down as well? To help them avoid their future tragedy.

Even if human moral ethics didn't apply to gods.

Houraisan Kaguya fell into contemplation.

Although they were all Moon Princesses, her relationship with the Watatsuki sisters was actually average. Not bad, but not particularly good either.

Houraisan Kaguya wanted to bring them along mainly because of Yagokoro Eirin. The Watatsuki sisters were Yagokoro Eirin's prized disciples and had a good relationship with her.

In this Lunar Capital, there were few people Yagokoro Eirin cared about. Tsukuyomi was one, Houraisan Kaguya was one, and the Watatsuki sisters were also counted.

For Eirin's sake, lending a hand to help these two sisters wasn't impossible. Although it was a bit troublesome, for Eirin's sake, this little trouble was nothing.

And well... Compared to letting these sisters become a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, she would prefer to see these two being affectionate with each other.

If she could observe from the side, that would be even better!

Ahem... Houraisan Kaguya reined in her runaway thoughts.

"If only my power were enough..." The princess in the deep palace sighed wistfully, her revealed sorrow enough to break even a god's heart.

She wasn't like those novels where she was basically a vase protected by Eirin. Having lived for hundreds of millions of years, her strength was definitely not a problem.

Even if her opponent was Eirin, it was unknown who would win or lose in a real fight. She just rarely took action, after all, Eirin would act.

Although, but still.

She had lived for hundreds of millions of years and thus possessed formidable strength, but this Lunar Capital, as a remnant of the mythical era, wasn't short of old monsters who had lived for hundreds of millions of years.

Among them, Eirin was a full-fledged old monster. It's just that Eirin was an old monster she was willing to be close to.

So, forcibly leaving the Lunar Capital was impossible. She could only play with schemes and tricks.

Although with Eirin, the Brain of the Moon, playing with schemes and tricks would definitely not be a problem.

But thinking about it still made her feel uncomfortable.

"Power... without power... Forget it, I'll just call Eirin to discuss."

Rather than using her own brain, Houraisan Kaguya preferred to let Eirin come up with a plan.

Just as Houraisan Kaguya was about to call Eirin to her chambers, two voices simultaneously sounded in her mind.
