A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

She is a great monster standing at the top of the plant, symbolizing nature, a monster among monsters.

Kazami Yuuka looked up at Natsumi, her eyes swirling with crimson light.

I want him more and more!

Chapter 137 My name is Yuuka, Kazama Yuuka

evening.

As the evening light spilled across the misty lake, layers of shimmering rosy ripples spread across its surface.

"It's getting late, time to go home."

Xia Xun looked at the setting sun, stood up and stretched her body, which had become stiff from sitting for so long.

Not far away, the three little fairies, Sunny, Star, and Luna, were playing and laughing with Cirno and the great fairy.

After spending a day together, the little guys who were initially at odds have become close friends.

Even the igloo that Cirno had destroyed by Sunny and the others was rebuilt with their combined efforts.

With Star's help this time, Cirno's igloo is many times more beautiful than the one she built herself.

Cirno greatly admired Star, and crowned her as the most intelligent fairy below herself, the strongest.

After observing the fairies playing, Natsumi turned to look at Yuuka Kazami, who was reading a book beside her.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke softly, "Youxiang, I'm holding a relocation banquet on the 24th of this month. Would you like to come?"

Upon hearing this, Kazami Yuuka closed the book in her hand, looked up at Natsumi, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on her delicate face, making her look gentle.

"Xia Xun, we're friends now, right?" she asked softly.

Xia Xun nodded: "If we're just ordinary friends, then we are."

"We're just ordinary friends." Kazami Yuuka smiled upon hearing this. "Then I'll try my best to become closer to Natsumi."

"When that time comes, I will also invite Xia Xun to my house for a tea party."

She stood up, her red plaid dress swaying in the wind.

"I will attend the relocation banquet."

After saying that, Kazami Yuuka gracefully nodded and slowly walked away, holding up her parasol.

Xia Xun watched her retreating figure and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

I wouldn't dare visit your home; that would be no different from walking into the lion's den.

"Sunny, Star, Luna, I'm leaving."

Xia Xun turned around, waved to the little fairies, and called out, "Big fairy, see you next time, Cirno."

Upon hearing this, the little fairies who were playing all flew towards him.

"Xia Xun, can't we stay a little longer?" Sunny tugged at his clothes reluctantly.

"There are still people waiting for me at home." Xia Xun rubbed her head and looked at the three fairies: "Soon we'll be neighbors, right? Remember to move in properly this time."

"Mmm." Upon hearing this, the three little ones immediately nodded their heads rapidly.

"Oh, Sunny, are you going to live with Xia Xun?" Cirno tilted her head, looking curious.

“Yes, from now on we’ll have Xia Xun’s snacks every day.” Sunny turned around proudly and showed off to Cirno.

Cirno and the Great Fairy exchanged a glance, both revealing expressions of envy.

Even Cirno was considering whether she and the Great Fairy should move there too, so they could have delicious food every day.

"Cirno-chan~" The Great Fairy saw through Cirno's thoughts and shook her head, pulling her along.

As an ice fairy, Cirno carries an intense chill that would frostbite ordinary people with the slightest touch, so she cannot appear near the Human Village at will.

Cirno, who thought the great fairy was reluctant to move, could only sigh in disappointment. She crossed her arms and looked at Xia Xun trying to put on a dignified appearance: "As the strongest, I am very magnanimous."

"Since you have offered a tribute today, we forgive your previous offense."

"But Lake of Mist is our territory. If you want to come again in the future, you must offer tribute as a gift."

"Yes, yes, I promise I will abide by Lady Cirno's rules." Xia Xun suppressed a laugh and agreed, watching with amusement as Cirno became clever for the sake of snacks and even set rules.

“Then I’m off, see you tomorrow,” Xia Xun said, then looked at the Great Fairy: “Great Fairy, remember to bring Cirno to my house for the party on the 24th.”

"This idiot definitely won't remember. The location is... [unintelligible]..."

After saying that, Xia Xun carried her full fishing basket home.

Today's fishing went fairly well, although because it wasn't raining, there were very few large catfish, and the king of fish was nowhere to be found.

But after a whole day of fishing, he caught a total of 132 fish: 57 ordinary fish, 69 silver-star fish, and 6 gold-star fish.

Slurp!

Just thinking about the high-quality Venus fish she had eaten last night made Xia Xun's mouth water.

Tonight, let's stew a golden perch.

Soon, Xia Xun returned to the west gate of the Human Village.

When the guard captain saw Xia Xun appear, he raised his hand to greet him, then quickly stepped forward and asked, "Xia Xun, are you here to participate in the guard duty tonight?"

"Come here." Xia Xun nodded quickly upon hearing this, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, something urgent came up last night, so I couldn't come."

"It's alright, I guessed it from how rushed you were yesterday." The team leader waved his hand, looking concerned. "Is the matter resolved? Just let me know if you need any help."

"It's all taken care of, thank you, Captain." Xia Xun felt a warmth in her heart.

"That's good." The guard captain nodded upon hearing this, and seeing Xia Xun about to leave, he hurriedly added, "By the way, Xia Xun, the girl you rescued yesterday wants to see you."

"Yesterday, the head of the Hieda family arranged for her to stay. She's near your house. She seems to have just arrived in Gensokyo from the outside world. She's about thirteen or fourteen years old and looks quite pitiful."

Xia Xun was taken aback when he heard this; the girl had actually come from the outside world in secret.

She was eventually forgotten after she had no more ties to the outside world.

"Okay, I'll go see her later." Xia Xun nodded in response, deciding in her heart to give the poor little girl a big fish.

He received a lot of care at the beginning. The new girl was still young, and her life must have been very difficult at the beginning.

Now that he has the capacity, he should take care of things as much as he can.

I walked towards home, and when I got close, I deliberately slowed down to observe if there were any new neighbors around.

On her way home, Xia Xun deliberately slowed down and kept an eye on her surroundings.

Sure enough, less than ten meters from his home, he saw smoke rising from an old house.

This should be it.

Xia Xun thought for a moment, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door slowly opened, and a slightly nervous little face peeked out.

She has short, slightly wavy, emerald-green hair, eyes as red as jewels, and a youthful face that already shows signs of beauty.

"A delicate fragrance!" Xia Xun blurted out in disbelief.

"It's the big brother who saved me!" The green-haired girl's eyes lit up, and her fear vanished instantly.

She happily opened the door and welcomed Xia Xun into the house. Looking up at him, her smile was as pure as a newly blossoming flower bud: "How does big brother know my name?"

"My name is Yuka, Kazama Yuka."

With her crimson eyes fixed on Xia Xun, Kazama Yuka smiled curiously and innocently, blinking her large eyes and tilting her head as she asked, "Big brother, what's your name?"

Chapter 138 Xia Xun, do you want a wife?

"Youxiang, I'm leaving."

Standing in front of the door, Xia Xun tried his best to keep his expression calm as he repeatedly gave instructions to the girl in front of him.

"Remember, never let strangers into your room again; it's very dangerous."

“You are still young and new to Gensokyo. If you encounter any difficulties in the human world in the future, you can come to me anytime. As your senior, I can at least offer you some help.”

"Yes, yes, I've remembered them all, Brother Xia Xun."

Kazama Yuka tilted her head back, a pure smile playing in her eyes, and raised her fist, waving it lightly: "I promise you, no one but you will be allowed in."

She blinked her bloodshot eyes and asked again, "Brother Xia Xun is running a farm, right?"

"I'm thinking of opening a flower shop someday. I might really need your help then."

"Opening a flower shop? That's a great idea," Xia Xun said with a forced smile. "I'll help out when the time comes."

"I'll be going now, there are people waiting for me at home."

After saying that, Xia Xun turned and left, her steps quickening as she almost fled from the door.

The door closed gently behind him.

Through the gap, Kazama Yuka leaned against the door frame, her red eyes following Natsumi's slightly flustered back, a subtle curve appearing at the corner of her lips.

Go, go.

Go find that Demon King, or ask Yakumo Yukari and the others for confirmation.

Only in this way will you believe that I am not Kazami Yuuka, but just a human girl with a similar fate and no one to rely on.

Only then can I quietly enter your life and gradually take you into my palm.

A road of a dozen meters.

Xia Xun returned home in a few seconds. The moment he pushed open the door, he turned around abruptly and was relieved to see that the room was completely empty.

"Whoo~"

Letting out a long breath, Xia Xun frowned in thought: "Is it a coincidence like Yuyuko and Misae, or did Kazami Yuuka make a move?"

He wouldn't let his guard down completely just because they'd gotten along well the last two days.

This is the tyrant of flowers; he only ever gets the wrong name, never the wrong title.

Having this title suggests that Yuuka Kazami is not a conventional, gentle, or humble person.

Tyrants are likely fond of seizing by force and possess a strong desire for control, conquest, and sadism.

The reason he hasn't become the other party's plaything yet is simply because he has the Demon King, the Sage, and the Priestess standing behind him.

"No, no, my head is spinning."

Xia Xun rubbed her forehead, shaking off the chaotic speculations.

I was feeling a little better today, and even invited Yuuka Kazami to the relocation banquet, so why did this strange thing happen as soon as I got back tonight?

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it." Xia Xun finally chose to give up. In Gensokyo, the abnormal is the norm.

Instead of guessing here, why not directly ask Suika, Yukari Yakumo, or Yuyuko to personally probe the background of Kazama Yuuka?

Putting down the catch box, Xia Xun took three silver carp, one golden carp, and one golden sea bass and went out.

This generous gift should be enough to motivate Yuyuko to go all out, and she will also involve her best friend, Yukari Yakumo.

7:13 p.m.

Today, the restaurant, Nagunetei, has returned to its usual customer flow, especially with the return of discounted fish dishes, which has brought cheers from longtime diners.

Even though the price of discounted fish is more than ten times that of regular fish, it still can't stop their desire for delicious food.

In this world where entertainment is scarce, eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping are the most important things in life.

Crossing the boundary line, Xia Xun arrived at the Silkworm Devouring Carp Pavilion.

"Natsumi, you're here~" Saigyouji Yuyuko, who was eating, saw Natsumi appear and her eyes lit up instantly.

She gulped down the food in her mouth, then happily floated to Xia Xun's side, looking at him expectantly: "We'll have Venus fish today, right? I can offer a high price!"

Upon hearing this, the spirit demon that followed turned pale, feeling as if its soul was being pulled away.

Jin Xing had a bad feeling after tasting it yesterday, and now it has come true.

Even though Xia Xun's price wasn't expensive compared to the value of the ingredients themselves, a hundred times the price was still unbearable for Bai Yulou, which was in financial difficulty.

In particular, Yuyuko at home is a super big eater.
