During the Second Lunar War, in the battle of wits between Yukari Yakumo and Eirin Yagokoro, Reimu Remilia was used as a pawn by the two, being "sent" along with Reimu, Marisa, and D-Night to the Moon. The ambitious young lady at the time intended to invade the Moon and claim it for herself.

But her ambitions were thwarted by Kaguya Kaguya Houraisan, one of the Moon's princesses and Eirin Yagokoro's disciple. Kaguya Kaguya Houraisan, much like Reimu, possessed the ability of Divine Possession, and was even stronger than Reimu in terms of raw power. Single-handedly, she defeated all four of them through a war of attrition.

Although Reimu wasn't particularly motivated at the time, she fought her best but was still easily subdued by Kaguya Kaguya Houraisan. After all, outside of Gensokyo, she was no longer the border enforcement officer whose invincibility was absolute. As for the highly motivated young lady, whose weakness was sunlight, she was nearly turned into a fossil by a single move from Kaguya Kaguya Houraisan embodying Amaterasu Ōmikami.

However, the young lady's interest usually only lasted for three minutes; once the initial excitement faded, her desire to conquer the Moon vanished. Yet, judging by the current situation, the young lady's ambition for conquest seemed far from gone. Furthermore, this time she had learned to utilize pre-battle preparations—a form of growth, in a sense?

Although Lin Luo didn't know if this was just a whim of the young lady or if she truly harbored ambitions of invasion, he knew that no matter how much scheming she did, her power level made conquering the Moon utterly impossible... Something even Yukari Yakumo couldn't achieve, how could a mere cute, loli-type girl manage it?

Shaking his head, Lin Luo stopped paying attention to her and walked over to examine the various war machines on display. This was his original purpose for visiting the military museum; he had only been delayed by the young lady earlier.

"Hmm, you're interested in attacking the Moon too?" Noticing Lin Luo examining the weaponry with genuine intensity, Remilia walked up beside him and said enthusiastically, "Why don't we team up? If we succeed in the invasion, I'll reward you with half the territory."

"I'm not as idle as you are," Lin Luo couldn't help but roll his eyes dramatically.

"Tch, so boring." The young lady was instantly crestfallen, having hoped she had found a like-minded "partner." She gave Lin Luo a look of disdain before heading toward the exit. "Forget it, I've seen what I needed to see. D-Night, Flan, Patchouli, let's go look somewhere else."

"Yes, Big Sister," D-Night replied, offering Lin Luo an awkward smile before following Remilia out.

"Honestly, you need to curb your willfulness a little," Patchouli sighed with resignation, casting Lin Luo a grateful look to acknowledge his earlier assistance with her treatment, before also departing the military hall. Koakuma quickly followed, having awoken earlier.

As for the Second Young Lady, she was somewhat reluctant. Having watched the skirmish between her sister and Lin Luo, she felt a pang of desire to play some danmaku games herself, but she dared not disobey Remilia's direct orders. Once the Second Young Lady left, Chen, acting as her "playmate," naturally followed along, half-awake.

In the blink of an eye, the once lively military hall was empty save for Lin Luo. Although it felt a bit desolate, it was perfect for Lin Luo, allowing him to quietly study the Moon Capital weaponry housed there.

The Moon Capital was a world where technology and mystery intertwined, possessing highly advanced near-future technology alongside mystical arts incomprehensible to most. For instance, a fan that could instantly reduce anything it brushed against to its fundamental particles—be it living organisms or inorganic matter—a mere gust from that fan would instantaneously turn it into nothingness.

Or consider the ropes woven from Shunyu—the moments that compose time itself—which no one could possibly break free from. By weaving countless moments together into a single cord, it possessed the world's ultimate tensile strength and would never decay. It could bind or even seal not just humans, but even deities.

Though such weaponry sounded like something out of a fantasy tale, the Moon was capable of producing it. Otherwise, how could Yukari Yakumo, with her heaven-defying boundary manipulation abilities, have suffered such a devastating defeat during the First Lunar War? While she was defeated by Eirin Yagokoro, the terrestrial youkai army she commanded was formidable. Yet, during that war, the youkai barely had a chance to fight back, due entirely to the terrifying weaponry of the Moon Capital, which even forced Yukari Yakumo to retreat cautiously.

If Lin Luo could acquire these weapons—no, if he could just master the techniques to create them—then the defensive capabilities of his home world, or even his own strength, would be elevated to unimaginable heights. This was precisely why he had brought along the Moon-landing Gundam.

Imagine if he and each of his Hosts possessed a Particle Fan and a Shunyu Rope. At their current level, aside from the Proxy Gods, what other Walkers could pose a threat? Even the Evil King or the Dark King would likely flee at the mere sight.

However, Lin Luo was disappointed. The weapons displayed in this military hall were merely conventional tech like tanks and artillery. While their combat power was considerable, they lacked any element of mystery. In terms of sheer utility, they were far inferior to the Gundams that Chousuzune was currently constructing.

"Seems like I've wasted my time here," Lin Luo frowned after meticulously inspecting the armaments for a long while without finding anything truly potent. But then it seemed logical; these weapons were things Kaguya and Eirin Yagokoro had brought from the Moon Capital over a thousand years ago. The Particle Fan and similar items were newly developed, things the Eientei would never possess.

"That means to get those weapons, I have to enter the Moon Capital. That’s utterly impossible."

Gaining entry to the Moon Capital was not simple. The Moon's capital, much like Gensokyo on Earth, was separated by a boundary. Without a specific artifact or the guidance of a resident of the Moon Capital, ordinary people simply couldn't enter. He had already lost his Moon-landing Gundam, but even with it, it would be useless now.

The only ones who could escort him into the Moon Capital were Eirin Yagokoro and Yukari Yakumo, but they would certainly never agree.

"Forget it. I should focus on something more practical." Lin Luo shook his head, abandoning the thought. He knew from the start that the chance of success was slim. Even if the Eientei possessed those armaments, Kaguya and the others wouldn't reveal them. Even if he managed to enter the Moon Capital, with his current strength, acquiring the manufacturing secrets would be impossible. Unless he could woo one of the Moon Capital's princesses, which was unlikely since both princesses were established married women.

As the saying went: married women are infinitely desirable, but NTR is hard... He decided he should focus his efforts on Kaguya instead. After all, Kaguya possessed the power to manipulate Eternity and Shunyu. If he could form a contract with her sooner and enhance her abilities, coupled with Eirin Yagokoro's genius, mass-producing Shunyu Ropes might actually become feasible.

Thus, moments later, Lin Luo left the military hall, intending to visit the other two rooms. But just as he turned a corner in the corridor, a clumsy figure suddenly barreled straight into him. Caught completely off guard, Lin Luo took the full impact.

"Seriously, is this just a replay of the young lady's antics?" Lin Luo grumbled, but as he was struck, his innate Barrier of Reflection activated instinctively. He was unharmed, but the clumsy runner suffered instead.

The person running toward him hadn't used any strength; they seemed to be purely fleeing. When struck by Lin Luo's Barrier of Reflection, they were instantly flung backward with a sharp cry of "Aiya!" followed by a loud thud as they hit the ground.

Lin Luo looked down. The first things to catch his eye were a pair of bent legs: the thighs smooth and the calves slender, though they seemed a bit short. Because she was sitting on the ground, the hem of her black and white dress was hiked up to her waist, revealing the white bloomers covering her private areas beneath. Looking further up, he saw the girl’s black and white attire, her flowing golden hair, and a face that was both pretty and commanding... The entire impression was that of a true winner in life.

"Marisa, what are you running around so recklessly for?" Lin Luo, having knocked her down, didn't apologize but instead played the victim, pointing the blame first. The girl he had knocked over was naturally Marisa, as there was no second true "winner in life" in Gensokyo.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Marisa seemed to have taken a nasty hit this time, clutching her forehead as stars danced in her vision. Tears even welled up in the corners of her eyes. She reached out to retrieve her hat, which had flown off, crying out in pain while looking up ahead.

"Ah, it's you!" Upon seeing Lin Luo, the winner in life exclaimed, then complained, "Honestly, why are you standing right in my way? Always knocking me down, making me hurt so much."

"..." Lin Luo's ability to process the words and constructions of the winner in life left him utterly impressed. He subconsciously reached out a hand. "Hurry up and get up. I saw your panties."

"So what if you saw them? It's just a pair of panties," Marisa said carelessly, grabbing Lin Luo's hand to pull herself up from the floor. She dusted off her clothes, wrinkling her brow slightly, clearly still in some discomfort.

Marisa's "openness" put Lin Luo under immense pressure. Too lazy to offer further commentary, he asked, "Why were you running in such a hurry? Did you get caught stealing again?"

"Don't joke, how could I do something like that?" Marisa lied without even blushing.

"La la la, la la la, you heart-stealing thief, I love you for ten thousand years, you heart-stealing thief, I love you for ten thousand years..." Just as Lin Luo was about to retort, a sound that rendered him speechless erupted from Marisa's pocket, leaving him utterly shell-shocked.

Marisa pulled a mobile phone from her pocket and brought it to her ear. "Hello? This is Marisa, ordinary messenger, reporting in. What's the enemy's firepower configuration?"

"..." Holy hell, is that high-tech or what?

Lin Luo nearly spat up blood! l;!--END--g;RH
