A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

Xia Xun chuckled as she spoke, gently rubbing Kazama Yuuka's head with her hand, clearly enjoying the touch.

This feeling is just so amazing.

It was as if the flower tyrant was looking all soft and gentle, being patted on the head repeatedly.

Of course, Xia Xun also knew that this was immoral.

So, in order to compensate Xiao Youxiang and help her get started in the future, he plans to provide her with a batch of flowers for free.

Anyway, it will be at least a year before Kazama Yuka saves enough money to open a flower shop, and by then he will definitely not be short of money.

"Thank you, Natsume-nii-san." Kazama Yuka said with a happy smile, but her crimson eyes were intently fixed on Natsume's smug expression.

Kazama Yuuka let Xia Xun's large hand roam freely over her head before taking out a small cloth bag from her bosom: "Then I'll give this to Xia Xun-nii-san."

"What?" Xia Xun asked curiously, taking the package and opening it to find a bunch of different seeds inside.

The only thing Xia Xun recognized was sunflower seeds, also known as raw melon seeds.

"These are all my favorite flower seeds. I hope Brother Xia Xun can take good care of them," Kazama Yuka said earnestly.

"Flower seeds, no problem." Xia Xun nodded, a confident smile appearing on his lips.

It just so happens that he wants to build a large flower garden for beekeeping and beautifying the environment; no problem at all.

Xia Xun casually put the small cloth bag into her backpack, and even glanced at the backpack's display: a bag of flower seeds.

He was indeed overthinking it; sunflowers are a flower that many people like.

Xia Xun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Kazama Yuka in front of her, and reached out to pinch her little cheek.

It feels really good.

Smiling smugly, Xia Xun ran away happily in front of Kazama Yuuka's puffed-up cheeks.

Xia Xun originally wanted to get a snack as compensation for her work, but then she remembered that the little devils had eaten them all yesterday.

He couldn't help but look up at the small umbrella above his head, wondering when she would finish upgrading the axe.

It's best if it doesn't rain lately, otherwise Xiao Umbrella won't have time to go blacksmithing.

As for giving up using the umbrella to shield himself from the wind and rain on rainy days, Xia Xun is 100% certain that Tatara Umbrella would cling to his leg and wail.

Stepping through the rain.

Xia Xun went to the guard post as usual to purify the demonic energy from the guards who were injured the night before.

Only two people were injured today, not only because Xia Xun and Alice conducted magical combat training together in the Human Realm last night.

Furthermore, the number of monsters attacking the human realm has suddenly decreased significantly since yesterday.

Using water magic, Xia Xun completely healed the two guards' injuries, accepted the 1600 coins from the guard captain, and left again.

As Xia Xun walked out of the East Gate of the Human Village, she couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Hakurei Shrine.

"It seems that Reimu and Marisa have already ventured deep into the Demon World. I wonder if they'll be able to make it to my relocation banquet."

Missing the two people she hadn't seen for two days, Xia Xun quickened her pace toward Xianglin Hall.

Soon, the Xianglin Hall, located at the entrance of the Magic Forest and appearing somewhat hazy in the heavy rain, came into view.

"Xia Xun?"

Sitting under the eaves, Morichika Rinnosuke heard footsteps, looked up and was somewhat surprised to see Natsumi's figure. He carefully put down the tool he had recently acquired, which could manipulate anything.

He was currently hesitating whether to completely destroy this powerful artifact that could potentially destroy Gensokyo, in order to prevent the disappearance of his beautiful daily life.

"Good morning, Mr. Morichika."

Passing through the rain, Xia Xun walked to Morichika Rinnosuke's side, put away the Tang umbrella in his hand, tapped it lightly, and Tatara's small umbrella materialized.

“I’m here to pay back the money, Mr. Morichika.” Turning back to look at Morichika Rinnosuke with a smile, Natsumi’s gaze involuntarily fell on the things around him.

Before the serious-looking Morichika Rinnosuke could speak, Natsumi exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect you, Boss Morichika, to play video games too."

"This model, this design, brings back so many memories." Xia Xun couldn't help but pick up the familiar Little Tyrant game console, flipping through it over and over, his fingers touching the interface used to insert cards.

"A game console?" Morichi Rinnosuke was stunned upon hearing this.

“Yeah.” Xia Xun nodded, sat down next to Mori Chika Rinnosuke, studied it for a few seconds and finally remembered how to turn it on before. Then he turned on the switch and a black and white pixel image appeared on the screen.

After a quick familiarization session, Xia Xun soon became proficient at operating the game console. He discovered that although the console didn't have a memory card inserted, it came pre-installed with many classic mini-games such as Tank Battle, Contra, and Tetris.

He couldn't resist opening Contra and reliving the childhood game.

As Morichika Rinnosuke watched the little figure in Natsumi's hands flutter and fly, defeating enemies and overcoming obstacles to the music, he couldn't help but be drawn in.

Two grown men sat under the eaves in the pouring rain, enjoying the aroma of tea as they played various games on a video game console.

At first, Rinnosuke Morichi was not used to it, but under Natsumi's guidance, he quickly became familiar with it. He would often exclaim in surprise because of his mistakes or brilliant moves, and a happy smile appeared on his face because of the game.

drip.

The two stopped playing only after the game console popped up a low battery warning and then quickly shut down, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

"Ah~, it's been so long since I played games."

With a cheerful smile on her face, Xia Xun stood up and stretched her body, then looked at Morichi Rinnosuke curiously and asked, "Mr. Morichi, where did you get this game console?"

"This item was discontinued a long time ago, and now it's probably only available to enthusiasts."

"Hehe, as the owner of this shop, I also have my own unique supply channels." Morichi Rinnosuke raised his hand to adjust his glasses, a smug look on his face.

However, he glanced at the game console in his hand, which was now switched off, and sighed, "So, it's just a game console."

Xia Xun heard this and, although she didn't understand the meaning of the other person's words, she could still sense the regret.

After thinking about it, he figured that Morichika Rinnosuke must have meant that the game console's battery had run out and he couldn't play anymore.

Thinking of this, Xia Xun smiled and said, "Xianglin Hall is already connected to electricity. If there is no matching power source, I can ask the kappa to take a look. With their technology, it shouldn't be difficult to recreate the charger."

Rinnosuke Morichika, who was still embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, immediately gripped Natsumi's hand tightly upon hearing this; "Then I'll leave it to you, Natsumi!"

"As for making the charger, I'm willing to pay five thousand coins!"

Oh my god, rich guy!

Xia Xun was somewhat taken aback by Mori Chika Rinnosuke's offer, but given that greedy girl, Natsumi would surely be happy with such a price.

"Leave it to me without worry, there won't be any problems." Xia Xun agreed without hesitation, smiling and giving him a thumbs up.

It's rare to meet a fellow gamer in Gensokyo, so I definitely have to help.

I wonder if there will be any games on the kappa's network once my new house is built.

Childhood games are indeed great, but Xia Xun prefers online games.

Looking forward to the future online game of Gensokyo, Xia Xun took out another 10,000 gold coins and placed them next to Mori Chika Rinnosuke: "This is the money I owe you before. Thank you very much for your help."

"On the 24th of this month, I would like to invite you to my new home's housewarming party at Liuzhi's house."

"I will definitely arrive on time." Morichika Rinnosuke nodded with a smile, looking at the human youth in front of him with great emotion.

Not long ago, he was struggling to fish and save money, unable to even afford seeds. In the blink of an eye, he's partnered with a kappa to build a farm and a new house. Even he, who lives on the outskirts of the Human Village, has heard about this.

That's really impressive. He probably won't forget Xia Xun for the next few hundred years.

Morichika Rinnosuke decided that when Natsumi was about to die, he would collect some of his things as a memento.

In Xianglin Hall, part of his collection is used to commemorate deceased friends.

"By the way, Xia Xun, would you like to come and see my collection?" Morichi Rinnosuke suggested, recalling how Xia Xun had recognized the game console so readily.

He had collected quite a few similar items before, so Xia Xun might be able to help him solve some of the mysteries.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xun couldn't help but feel curious and nodded, "Okay, no problem."

I wonder what kind of things the owner of this shop, Morichika, who fills it with all sorts of strange items, has specially collected.

Chapter 141 From now on, Marisa is my brother.

I walked into the room, which was lit by a dim, yellowish lamp.

As Xia Xun followed Mori Chika Rinnosuke through the store, she discovered that there was an extra fresh produce section near the entrance, used to display vegetables and fruits.

That area was currently marked as sold out and was empty, with a simple line drawing of Xia Xun Farm under the counter.

The somewhat familiar art style reminded Xia Xun of the Marisa Kirisame Magic Primer he bought from Kourindo.

"Mr. Mori, thank you so much," Xia Xun said gratefully. "You even redesigned the counter specifically for my farm."

"How are the sales? Will you continue to need supplies from the farm?"

"Ah, this." Morichika Rinnosuke looked at the vegetable counter and scratched his head helplessly. "Originally, I planned to keep the ingredients that Natsumi sent me for myself and give the rest to Reimu and Marisa."

"But that idiot Marisa disagreed and insisted that I sell it. She even painted this picture to make your farm famous, Natsumi."

“At first, there were indeed very few customers buying, but after the festival, a lot of customers suddenly came, and it sold out in no time.” Morichika Rinnosuke said with a pained expression, “I thought that if we could sell less, I could eat more.”

"As a result, that idiot Marisa, even though she likes to eat it herself, still goes around promoting it with the flyers she drew."

As he spoke, Morichika Rinnosuke looked at Natsumi and his tone became somewhat fierce: "Natsumi, you better remember this, Marisa really considers you a friend."

"Then we still have to treat her well."

"Yes, I promise!" Xia Xun nodded quickly, her face full of surprise.

He never imagined that Marisa would do so many things behind his back.

"From today onwards, Marisa will be my best brother!" Xia Xun looked directly into Morichika Rinnosuke's eyes and solemnly promised, "Even if Marisa gets beaten and disabled in the future because of stealing things everywhere, I will take care of her in her old age and see her off in her final days."

“There’s no need for that…” Morichika Rinnosuke’s lips twitched involuntarily upon hearing this.

But he was still satisfied with Xia Xun's promise.

After all, Marisa Kirisame has been a carefree child since she was little. She likes to keep her hands dirty and loves to steal various monsters' magic books and gadgets.

If they happen to encounter a hothead who disregards Reimu's intimidation, Xia Xun, as a wealthy friend who owns a farm, is perfectly capable of raising Marisa.

As for Reimu, she's lucky if she can support herself.

Stepping inside, Morichika Rinnosuke pushed open the door to his collection room and then proudly introduced it to Natsumi behind him.

"Look, this is my most treasured collection room; everything in it is a priceless treasure to me."

“Take this sword, for example, the Sword of Mist and Rain.” Morichika Rinnosuke excitedly took a longsword from the shelf and placed it in front of Xia Xun: “Hmph, it is a true sword of heaven, a blade of the gods, capable of manipulating celestial phenomena.”

"Now, this torrential rain outside must also be the influence of the power emanating from this Heavenly Sword."

Xia Xun stared at Mori Chika Rinnosuke, who had suddenly become a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), and looked at the various items in the collection room, from clocks to antiques, modern electronic products, swords, axes, halberds, armor and other different items.

It's not that I can't understand the other person's excitement.

If he had a room full of rare figurines, and someone he could chat with came along, Xia Xun would talk to him for three days and three nights.

His gaze fell on the Misty Rain Sword that Morichika Rinnosuke held in front of him. It looked cold and sharp, and was indeed a fine sword.

So Xia Xun took it from Moriji Rin's assistant and couldn't help but wave it around a couple of times. The sharp sound of it cutting through the air excited him.

"Mr. Mori, how about you sell me this sword?" Xia Xun couldn't help but ask; the sword felt amazing in his hand.

He was about to go down into the mine, and having this sword would be like adding wings to a tiger.

"No, no~!" Upon hearing this, Morichika Rinnosuke quickly refused and took the longsword back from Natsumi's hand: "This is the reward I gave Marisa for fixing her stove before, and I plan to cherish it."

"Moreover, this is the Heavenly Cloud Sword, a priceless treasure."

"Okay." Shaking her head in disappointment, Xia Xun looked at other things.

Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong.

Turning back to look at Morichika Rinnosuke, who was putting the sword back on the shelf, he exclaimed quickly, "This is the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword?!"

“Yes.” Morichika Rinnosuke nodded casually upon hearing this.

"Didn't you just say it was the Sword of Mist and Rain?" Xia Xun couldn't help but complain, then couldn't resist moving closer to the longsword, his palms itching as he wanted to put it in his backpack to take a look.

It wasn't that he wanted to covet the longsword, but rather that he wanted to see if it really was the famous Heavenly Cloud Sword.

"I got it from Marisa, so naturally it's called the Sword of Mist," Morichi Rin's assistant replied matter-of-factly.

"By the way, look at this celestial instrument, do you know how to use it?" He picked up another instrument and asked Xia Xun.

“I know how to use a gyroscope.” Xia Xun glanced at the device and nodded, then eagerly asked, “Can I take another look at this Sword of Mist and Rain?”

Upon hearing this, Morichika Rinnosuke looked at Natsumi and nodded: "Okay, but I absolutely will not sell it."
