A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

Xia Xun smelled slightly of alcohol as he chatted with Dong Xiang.

Walking on the deserted streets, Xia Xun shook his slightly dizzy head and said with a hint of pride, "After my body was strengthened, my alcohol tolerance has indeed improved a lot."

With a swift movement, Xia Xun planned to go home to practice magic. From today onwards, he would begin to live a wonderful life in 267!

Once your body is strengthened, you should go all out.

As she passed the temple school, Natsumi's gaze unconsciously drifted in that direction, as it was a well-known location in Gensokyo.

In the dim light, he could vaguely see a timid figure fiddling with something at the entrance of the temple house, with soft rustling sounds echoing in the background.

Xia Xun sobered up considerably in an instant and blurted out, "Thief!"

The reprimanding voice echoed in the darkness, and suddenly, the figure that had been squatting at the doorway doing something vanished in a flash.

The speed was so fast that Xia Xun was completely surprised.

The lights in the surrounding houses also turned on in response to Xia Xun's voice, and people occasionally peeked out of their windows to look.

Click.

The gate to the temple house opened after a series of footsteps, and a lantern was carried by a monk.

She spotted Xia Xun at the doorway immediately and realized that the voice she had just heard must have come from him.

"Hello, Kamitsu Shirazawa-sensei. I just saw a figure sneaking around at the temple gate, could you check if anything was missing?" Xia Xun said quickly as she saw Kamitsu Shirazawa Keine appear.

Upon hearing this, Shang Baize Huiyin frowned slightly, bowed to Xia Xun to express her gratitude, and then looked at the spot Xia Xun was pointing to.

The light bulb was broken and the door frame was covered with a small piece of metal, but there were no other traces.

Xia Xun and Shang Baize Huiyin looked on in confusion, not understanding why the thief had left this mark.

However, after a careful inspection, nothing was found missing, and it was dark, so they had to give up and wait until the next day to conduct the investigation.

"Thank you very much for your help tonight, Mr. Xia Xun." Kamishirasawa Keine thanked Xia Xun again for his reminder tonight.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, just a small favor." Xia Xun smiled and waved goodbye to Bai Ze Huiyin.

I was initially thinking that visiting tomorrow would be a bit abrupt, but after what happened tonight, it should be much easier to visit tomorrow.

Xia Xun was thinking happily to herself, humming a tune she couldn't remember the lyrics to, and walked briskly toward the Ni Tun Pavilion.

After sobering up considerably, he decided to take advantage of the fact that the restaurant should have just closed and hand over the ingredients to Okunoda Miyo.

In this way, he can get up tomorrow morning and head straight to Liu Zhiyao to engage in some exciting fishing.

Xia Xun fished from morning till evening today, and her fishing box is now full of catch.

As she walked, Xia Xun soon arrived at the street where the snorkeling was located.

It was already late at night, and all the shops along the roadside had turned off their lights, except for one shop with a whale-shaped curtain that was still brightly lit.

From afar, Xia Xun could hear the drunken laughter coming from inside the shop, but the voices seemed somewhat familiar.

Is that drunkard Suika Ibuki visiting again late at night?

Chapter Fifty: I Must Control Gensokyo!

The glutinous rice ball pavilion at night.

It should have closed for a rest along with the quiet of the human world.

However, the room was brightly lit, and laughter could be heard from inside from time to time, making it seem both lively and eerie.

Xia Xun pushed open the shop door and immediately saw Ibuki Suika raising a sake bowl and toasting with a strange woman.

She was a demon woman with the appearance of a young girl, wearing glasses, yet exuding a mature air of someone who had experienced many hardships.

She has shoulder-length reddish-brown hair, a patch of emerald green leaves on her head, fluffy ears that twitch slightly, and a long, soft, bushy tail that is over a meter long trailing behind her.

Wow, it has a big, fluffy tail!

Xia Xun's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the tail; just looking at it made her imagine the comfortable feeling of stroking it.

Another day of envying Yakumo Yukari, who can spend all day hugging and rubbing against Yakumo Ran's nine-tailed celestial fox tail.

While drinking, Niiwa Mamizo naturally noticed Xia Xun entering through the door. She squinted, trying to make out who it was.

I thought it was another monster wandering the night, but it turned out to be a human.

Since ancient times, daylight has belonged to humankind, while nightlight has been associated with demons.

Tonight, she decided to wander around the human world on a whim and accidentally discovered this tavern that was still open late at night. To her surprise, there was a demon inside, and the signboard girl was a zashiki-warashi (a type of Japanese house spirit).

When did shops run by yokai appear in the human world?

To prevent these monsters from disrupting the order of the human world and ruining the reputation of monsters, she decided to come in and investigate.

Unexpectedly, humans actually appeared here in the middle of the night.

"Oh, isn't this Xia Xun?"

A tipsy Suika Ibuki saw Natsumi and happily waved to him, saying, "When can I drink the sake you promised me? I've been looking forward to it!"

"Uh...we'll have to wait a little longer, Ms. Ibuki," Natsumi replied somewhat awkwardly.

He strode over to Okunoda Miyo and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Miyo, what's going on? Does this mean that Minato-tei is now open not only at night but also late at night?"

Okunoda Miyo raised her big, teary eyes and looked at Natsumi with a wronged expression. She stood on tiptoe and whispered, "No, but every day after the human guests leave, Ms. Ibuki appears on time."

"I couldn't, and dared not, refuse her; I could only continue working..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xun looked at the aggrieved yet strong-willed girl in front of him, and then turned to look at Ibuki Suika, who was drinking heavily from her wine bowl. A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

He didn't know what to do either.

"Haha, what are Xia Xun and Miss Meixiao whispering about?"

Suika Ibuki laughed drunkenly and waved enthusiastically to Natsuki: "Natsuki-kun, come over and have a drink! The fish is especially fresh today, it's absolutely perfect with this wine, hiccup~"

"If we could have another serving of that delicious dish from a while ago, it would be perfect."

She chewed on the crispy fried fish bones and sighed with satisfaction.

Niiwa Mazo, who had been observing silently from the side, nodded slightly and took a small bite of the golden fish piece in his hand.

This strange tavern that suddenly appeared in the human world is alarming, but its culinary skills are truly superb.

Xia Xun quickly smiled and waved her hand to refuse: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Ibuki, but I have other things to do tonight and it's not convenient for me to drink."

"Liar~!" Suika Ibuki slammed her small hand on the table, suddenly moved closer to Natsume, sniffed him with her delicate nose, and pointed at him, saying, "You've clearly already drunk alcohol!"

"Besides, isn't the point of coming to an izakaya to drink? Are you shy?" She chuckled, then suddenly jumped up and grabbed Xia Xun by the neck.

Her petite body unleashed astonishing power, forcing Xia Xun to bend over.

Immediately afterwards, she shoved the wine bowl in her hand straight to Xia Xun's lips and gulped it down.

The strong liquor rolled down his throat like lava, and the intense alcoholic aroma rushed to his head. Even Xia Xun's strengthened body could hardly withstand it, and his face immediately turned red as he felt the effects of the alcohol build up.

"Natsuki!" Okunoda Miyo panicked at the sight and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away, glaring angrily at Ibuki Suika: "Miss Ibuki, how could you force-feed Natsuki such strong liquor? That's dangerous!"

"This is a great human hero who has drunk my special ghost wine, this little bit of wine is nothing~" Ibuki Suika waved her hand drunkenly, then patted Natsumi's shoulder and laughed, "Right, Natsumi-kun?"

“Of course, hiccup~” Xia Xun replied in a high-spirited tone, squinted at Ibuki Suika in front of him, suddenly chuckled, reached out and picked her up, rubbing her face hard like a doll.

Suika Ibuki lifted her feet off the ground, her little hands and feet instinctively flailing twice before giving up the struggle; after all, it wasn't the first time.

Moreover, Xia Xun's undisguised affection was quite pleasing to her as a woman.

After all, she was often teased because of her small size, so this closeness actually made her happy.

Holding Ibuki Suika as they sat down at the table, Natsumi, still feeling dizzy, politely nodded to the unfamiliar youkai woman beside her: "Hello."

"Hello." Niiwa Mazo nodded in return, squinting as he observed the strange scene.

A human not only appears in a tavern full of monsters late at night, but also becomes so intimate and familiar with a demon girl.

Something's not right, something's really not right!

Could this human be their agent? Are they also vying for dominance in the human realm?

And... this smell!

Eryan Cang twitched his nostrils slightly, sensing a trace of an unpleasant fox demon aura emanating from Xia Xun—a fox demon of a rather high level.

Damn it! As the leader of the Tanuki and Tsukumogami clan, I will not allow this to happen!

Her gaze quietly locked onto Xia Xun, and she firmly memorized his scent.

We need to find a way to control him!

Xia Xun was completely unaware that in a short moment, the demon woman opposite him had already begun to kidnap and control him.

He rested his chin on the top of Ibuki Suika's head, his hands curiously stroking her hard yet smooth demon horns.

Ibuki Suika, whose horns had never been touched by a member of the opposite sex like this before, was a little uncomfortable with this unfamiliar touch and shook her head, trying to get him to stop.

With a thought, Xia Xun produced a silver-quality strawberry from her fingertip and gently fed it into Ibuki Suika's mouth.

The sweet fruity aroma filled the air, and Ibuki Suika immediately stopped struggling.

Although strawberries are not suitable for drinking with alcohol, no girl can resist their sweet taste.

Having successfully calmed Ibuki Suika down with food, Natsumi happily hugged her and buried his face in her soft hair like he was petting a cat.

It's so soft and comfortable...

Intoxicated, his courage and pride surged forth.

It's decided, I'm going to take her home tonight!

“Xia Xun…”

Okunoda Miyo looked at this familiar scene and sighed with a headache.

Also, why did Xia Xun suddenly come to Ni Tun Pavilion late at night? Is there something wrong?

Her gaze swept across the ground, and she suddenly noticed the familiar wooden box.

"Xia Xun, are you here to deliver ingredients tonight?" Okunoda Miyo asked, picking up the wooden crate.

Xia Xun, who was engrossed in "absorbing ghosts," paused for a moment, her dizzy mind clearing up briefly. She mumbled, "Oh yeah... I harvested a lot of vegetables today and was thinking of bringing them to you."

"Perfect timing, Meixiao, add another dish for us. We're drinking until we drop tonight!"

"Oh~! We won't leave until we're drunk!" Suika Ibuki cheered, swaying slightly as she raised her hand.

Xia Xun lifted the wooden box lid with one hand, and in the blink of an eye, all the crops and fish inside poured out.

Vegetables and fruits were piled up like a small mountain, and dozens of live fish were splashing and struggling on the floor.

With one arm around Ibuki Suika, Natsumi grinned smugly at Okunoda Miyo: "How about that? Pretty impressive, right? These are all the fish I caught today!"

"And these fruits and vegetables are all high-quality products from my Stardew Valley Farm!"

"Haha, for the best fruits and vegetables in Gensokyo, look for Stardew Valley Farm~!"

He stood amidst piles of fruits, vegetables, and fresh fish, one hand holding Ibuki Suika, the other pointing to the sky, and loudly proclaimed:

"In the future, my Stardew Valley Farm will definitely dominate Gensokyo!"

After speaking, he laughed loudly, grabbed Ibuki Suika with one hand and picked up the wooden box with the other, and strode out of the shop.

After taking only a few steps, his pace quickened, and he disappeared into the thick night in the blink of an eye.

Quick, get out of here!

Even though she was drunk, Xia Xun vaguely felt that she had gotten into some trouble.

The most urgent thing is to quickly take the demon girl in his arms home and get her to sleep.

Tomorrow will be better.

Chapter 51 Last night was truly a pleasant night.
