Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Fantasy Town

"The menu is on it. Grilled hagfish, boiled hagfish, deep-fried hagfish, etc. Ah... please don't order the 'grilled chicken skewers', that's the dish I want to delete. As for the new menu plaque, we'll have to wait until Master Kappa of Yokai Mountain is free."

"Will Mr. Kappa carve a new menu sign?"

"Yeah, and the price is very cheap! The shape is also very beautiful, I plan to wait."

"I'm glad you remembered it."

"I wrote it down on the cabinet."

Mystia pointed to the left side of the barbecue stall, and there was indeed a notebook on it.

Glancing over the menu, ninety percent of it was hagfish dishes, the rest were 'grilled chicken skewers', pancakes, and boiled tofu that were not recognized by the owner of the Night Sparrow.

It's a bit like oden...

Zhou Guang thought that since he was already here, he might as well patronize the place.

"Then give me a grilled hagfish and a glass of wine."

"okay."

Mistia immediately got busy.

During this time, Zhou Guang asked the customer next to him.

"Ms. Bayi, why are you here at the Night Sparrow Dining Hall so late at night?"

"It's a long story..."

Bayi Yonglin frowned slightly.

She took a sip of her wine and explained:

"To put it briefly, Miss Kaguya accidentally broke a tea set from Eternal Pavilion a few days ago. She secretly ran out to buy another set before I found out, but...she was cheated."

……

Even though Kaguya Houraisan has lived in Gensokyo for a long time, she still seems to be a little "unworldly".

"Not only was the tea set expensive, it was also made of cursed materials, causing the two rabbits to break their arms while cleaning. That's why I went out to investigate until now."

You mean Inaba-tei and Suzusen, poor Usagi...

Zhou Guang asked at this moment

"How is the result?"

Bayei Eirin shook his head.

"The shop owner who sold it to Miss Kaguya ran away the next day, leaving behind a letter mocking Miss. The content contained many adjectives such as 'idiot' and idiot'. If I showed her this, she would probably run around everywhere to catch people."

Kaguya might be able to do it...

"It's done."

At this moment, Mistia brought up the grilled lamprey and wine that Zhou Guang ordered.

"Please enjoy your meal, Boss Zhouguang."

"Why did you suddenly change to a strange name..."

"Because Mr. Zhou Guang is a legend in opening a restaurant, I will definitely learn from you in the future!"

"Just cook seriously, sincerity is the ultimate skill."

After Zhou Guang finished speaking, he and Bayi Yonglin suddenly turned to the left outside the stall.

There was a figure in that woodland.

But the first thing that appeared was the light of the flashlight.

The person who held him was Morichika Rinnosuke, who had previously helped Shuguang open a restaurant.

Chapter 3: Fake Mutation?! Zhou Guang: No, this is a D printer

Morichika Rinnosuke is the owner of the antique tool shop "Kōrin-do" and is half human, half demon.

Possesses the ability to know the names and uses of items, and is interested in the world outside Gensokyo.

Therefore, Rinnosuke is good at turning useless tools from the outside world into something magical, and this talent of his has attracted the attention of many residents of "Gensokyo".

When Zhou Guang first came to "Gensokyo", as an "outsider", he received help from Lin Nosuke.

Rinnosuke explained this as "it's more for interest and to have someone to communicate with."

After all, Shuguang knew a lot about things outside of 'Gensokyo', which made Rinnosuke quite interested.

But under normal circumstances, Zhou Guang rarely goes to see Lin Nosuke.

And Rinnosuke, who is quiet and reclusive, would not spend money at Shukou Restaurant. At most, he would ask Marisa to bring some takeout.

To sum up, on this night, in this woods, in front of this stall, Zhou Guang was inevitably a little surprised to see Lin Zhizhu.

"Ah! Yes, it's a monster! The light monster?!"

Mistia hides during the day and works at night, so she has never seen such a new thing as a flashlight.

But her performance made Zhou Guang want to complain...

The monster that confuses passers-by at night was actually scared by the flashlight.

Maybe this is the power of modern technology? !

The flashlight is, at least at this moment, bigger than the Night Sparrow monster in Gensokyo.

"Don't panic, I'm not a monster."

Hearing Mistia's scream, Rinnosuke, who was approaching, turned off the flashlight, smiled bitterly and sat down in a booth.

"Huh... not a monster?"

"Mori Chika Rinnosuke, this is my name. I run a second-hand shop located between Hakurei Shrine, Human Village, and the Magic Forest. However, Mr. Night Sparrow probably won't come to my shop."

"It seems... I've heard of it, I hope it's not a scary monster."

"Well... if we open a business in the deep forest, normally only monsters would come here, right? But today it seems to be completely different."

Rinnosuke looked at Shumitsu, then at Bayi Eirin.

"Mr. Morichika, we meet again."

The pharmacist from Eien-tei was the first to greet.

"Yes, Miss Bayi, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The two greeted each other.

Zhou Guang couldn't help but ask

"Rinnosuke, are you acquainted with Miss Bayi?"

"I wouldn't say we're familiar with each other. This morning, Miss Bayi came to my shop to ask about the 'teaware scam', and I happened to have heard some rumors."

"How to say?"

"It's not just the tea sets Ms. Yagi mentioned. In 'Gensokyo', many people have been deceived and bought fake goods that look very exquisite. For example, a stone statue that looks perfect was placed in a box at the beginning, so the buyer didn't notice it until he opened it after buying it and found out that it was made of plastic. The weight is fine because there are stones in the box."

Rinnosuke gave a simple explanation.

In "Fantasy Town", there is a guy who sells high-quality counterfeit goods and cheats people everywhere.

One of the victims was Kaguya Houraisan, the owner of Eternatei.

After getting the answer, Zhou Guang asked another question

"Then why are you here suddenly? I'm chasing the owner of Night Sparrow, what about you?"

"This morning, I learned from Miss Bayi that the materials used to make the imitation tea sets were cursed. I also heard that ghosts would wander around this woods at night and randomly curse passers-by, so I decided to investigate. What if there is any connection?"

"You're quite brave..."

"I have the 'light' in my hand, so it should be fine."

"A flashlight is not an exorcist tool..."

"Indeed."

Rinnosuke chuckled softly.

Mistia stared at the flashlight at the counter

"Is this thing called a 'flashlight'?"

"Yeah, it glows with the flip of a switch."

"How amazing."

"In 'Fantasy Town', just glowing doesn't seem to do much."

After saying this, Rinnosuke took out two cups from his pocket.

They look exactly the same.

"Zhou Guang, can you help me take a look? These two are fake tea sets, both made of plastic."

"Just to take a look."

Zhou Guang took the cup.

After looking around, he moved his chin.

"Rinnosuke, help me shine the flashlight here."

"no problem."

"kindness……"

After Rinnosuke turned on the light, Shuguang saw the "flaws" on the surface of the cup.

"It's 'Layered'."

Layered pattern?

Boss Yaque, Bayei Eirin, and Morichika Rinnosuke all looked at Shuguang.

He then explained

"The so-called 'layer pattern' is one of the most typical shortcomings of 3D printing. I have played with it before, so I know a little bit about it."

"3D printer... something out there?"

"Yes, you can copy some of the things you want. As long as you don't observe closely, it's easy to fool people."

Things from the outside world occasionally appear in Gensokyo, but it is impossible for ordinary people to use them.

After getting this answer, Rinnosuke seemed to have some guess in his mind.

"I thought of someone... the girl who occasionally comes to the store, Usami Sumireko."

but……

Rinnosuke continued

"I don't think she would deliberately create a fake to deceive people. There must be a reason."

"Go ask her when the time comes."

Zhou Guang suggested so.

Bayi Yonglin, who listened quietly on the side, had only one thought.

"Please catch the criminal."

The money that was defrauded was not a small amount for Yongyuanting...

Chapter 39: Kirie was put to sleep, and Usami Sumireko came to thank her (Please give me flowers! Please add me to your collection!)

If Shuguang is Shemingwan, then the record is as follows:

"The boss of Korindo investigates the shocking fakes that are spreading in Gensokyo!"

《Shock! The owner of Eternatei, Kaguya Horaiyama, was deceived as a fool! The reason is actually...! 》

"The late night chat of the Night Sparrow Dining Hall trio, what is the huge plan that will affect 'Fantasy Township'? !"
