Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Fantasy Town

"They're all women... No...! Lord Shuguang! I found you!"

"You are……"

"Konpaku Youmu! The gardener of the underworld...! No, that's not the point. I'm here to seek help! Can you answer my questions?"

"Then let's get straight to the point."

"Have you ever met Lady Youyouzi? A few hours ago, after she ate the snacks sent by Lady Zi, she became very strange and finally disappeared directly from Baiyu Tower!"

If it was just a simple disappearance, Konpaku Youmu shouldn't be so excited.

Zhou Guang couldn't help but stop what he was doing.

"Let's deal with the important things first."

Wuzhi did not urge her croissant.

Later, Zhou Guang asked

"Then why did Miss Soul come to me?"

"Before Lady Youyouzi disappeared, she once mentioned to me that she would find some more interesting ingredients for the restaurant owner. Even if that was the case, she couldn't just leave without saying goodbye. I searched the entire Baiyu Tower but couldn't find Lady Youyouzi."

After saying this, Konpaku Youmu pointed outside.

"The most important thing is... there seem to be some problems in the underworld. I wonder if it is caused by the power of Youyouko-sama."

After listening to this, Zhou Guang looked out the window with the others.

I don't know when a floating ghost appeared outside the window.

"Mr. Zhou Guang, this is a mutation."

The red and white miko made the first judgment.

Did Youyouzi's disappearance from the White Jade Tower trigger a change? Five!

Chapter 61: Memories of the Eastern Ghost - Zhou Guang VS One Hundred Demons Night Parade (Please pre-order!!)

A few hours ago -

White Jade Tower in the Underworld.

Sitting on the edge of the west courtyard, the pink-haired woman, Yuyuko Saigyouji, finished eating the cherry blossom jelly brought by Yakumo Yukari.

The delicious taste blooming in her mouth made her very satisfied.

In high spirits, Youyouko immediately ordered Konpaku Youmu to go to the kitchen to make more delicious food. At the same time, she also planned to find some interesting ingredients in the future and give them to the restaurant owner Zhou Guang to help her cook.

While waiting, Youyouko looked towards the garden.

The garden is open to the public without any restrictions, so many ghosts come to admire the elegant garden design.

At that moment, you can see ghosts floating in the air, wandering around, staring curiously at the cherry trees that Youmeng has carefully taken care of.

At this moment, Youyouzi discovered that some ghosts seemed to be queuing up and moving in an orderly manner in a certain direction.

Oh? What happened?

Even though Youyouzi has been managing this place for a long time, he has never seen such a strange situation.

Even during the rampage, it was because a fight broke out somewhere, resulting in many casualties.

But even if that were the case, the situation in the underworld would only develop towards disorder, not order.

That was what happened in the past.

Due to the increase in the number of ghosts from the outside world and the relaxation of the barrier that occurred over time, all the flowers in Gensokyo bloomed at the same time regardless of the season, and at the same time a large number of ghosts appeared in Gensokyo.

The god of death, Onozuka Komachi, did not send these ghosts to the other side for judgment, so the homeless ghosts could only possess flowers, causing all kinds of flowers to bloom.

This mutation was not man-made. As long as we wait for time to pass, Gensokyo will slowly return to its original state and the mutation will end.

So what is it like this time?

The ghosts suddenly became quiet.

This reminded Youyouko of the scene when there was a long line in front of the Kappa stall during a festival.

It's a pity that she didn't get to eat the kappas' food...

"Let's go take a look."

There was still some time before Youmu came back with the food, so Youyuko got up and went to check out what was going on.

She came to the side of the familiar garden and followed the ghosts.

"What's ahead?"

Youyouzi asked one of them.

But the other party did not answer.

Just like a puppet being manipulated, he continued to move forward.

Confused, Youyouzi quickened his pace.

The ghosts did not complain because the outsider 07 cut in line, and they were quite law-abiding in this regard.

When Onozuka Komachi sends them to trial, they won't have to worry about going to hell.

Youyouzi continued to move forward.

I left Baiyu Tower unknowingly.

Yuyuko slowed down and looked ahead. There was no end yet...

"kindness?"

Just as Youyouzi was considering whether to turn back, she found that the team was gradually separating in front and forming a circle.

She picked up speed again and walked over.

"this is……"

What appeared in Youyouko's field of vision was a translucent amber crystal with blooming cherry blossom petals and faint blue phosphorescence seemingly sealed inside.

This is something never seen before...

Just as Youyouko was wondering what it was, some ghosts around suddenly started laughing or crying.

"you……"

Youyouzi looked at the crystal in front of her, it seemed to be emitting some kind of fragrance.

The ghosts are haunted by the aroma, immersed in some kind of magic mirror.

Some of the ghosts spoke, telling of their own happiness, which were the memories of the living;

Some ghosts cried loudly, recalling the unwillingness of the past, which was the obsession of the deceased.

These emotions mixed together, making the crystal light in the air even brighter than before.

Worried that the ghosts would go berserk, Youyouko grabbed the crystal.

At this time, she smelled the sweet fragrance of flowers.

But it was soon replaced by the acrid smell of rotten earth and cold iron, and finally a trace of the bitter smell of burning paper ash remained.

As if foreshadowing rebirth and destruction...

Although she felt it was dangerous and wanted to abandon it, Youyouko did not take action.

She always felt that the crystal in her hand had an inexplicable allure.

"I'll take it first."

After making an announcement to the ghosts who were obsessed with certain memories, Youyouzi took the crystal and flew towards the White Jade Tower.

When I returned to the courtyard, the crystal in my hand had changed unconsciously.

Unlike the hard texture before, it became soft, like fudge.

"Oh my, what a strange thing..."

Youyouzi's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.

"Is it the same gum as before?"

Looking at the soft crystal in her hand, Youyouko remembered the ingredients she had asked Yakumo Yukari to deliver to Shuguang on her behalf.

Thinking so, Youyouzi sniffed it again.

In addition to the scent of flowers, the scent of crystals is also mixed with a hint of honey.

Sweet, tempting, and irresistible.

"Master Youyouzi, I made some rice cakes. Would you like to try some?"

Youmu returned to the corridor of the garden with the snacks in hand.

At first glance, I saw the owner of Baiyu Tower sniffing a strange-looking object...

"Lord Youyouzi? What are you doing..."

"Youmu, you're back. Do you know what this is? I found it outside."

"Um... I hope that Youyouzi-sama won't just pick up random things. A few days ago, she brought back something that exploded, and the room was covered with mud."

"That should be the kappa's prop, right? When they attended the underworld banquet, they left it near the White Jade Tower."

Youmu nodded, agreeing with her master's guess.

Youyouzi then changed the subject

"Let's not talk about that. Look at this. When it was first discovered, this crystal attracted quite a few ghosts."

"Attract ghosts? Isn't that Master Youyouko's ability?"

"Now its efficacy seems to have changed, and its appearance and hardness have also changed, like the konjac before~"

After saying that, Youyouzi placed the crystal on the table.

Youmeng also smelled a pleasant scent at this moment.

For a moment, it was as if I saw some kind of illusion.

Youmu felt that this thing in front of him was a little dangerous, so he put the rice cake on the table and warned

"Lord Youyouzi, let's get rid of it first."

"Wait a minute, Youmu, it's not dangerous right now~ But this smell reminds me of the cherry tree gum from before."

"Is this the thing that I asked Yakumo-sama to deliver to the restaurant?"

"That's right~ The boss used it to make very interesting snacks."

Youmu knew that Yuyuko was referring to Sakura Jelly.

She also tasted it and found it was indeed delicious.

"Next time... find some more interesting ingredients for the restaurant owner."

"I don't think there are any strange ingredients in the underworld."

"What if this thing is it?"

While Yuyuko was tasting the rice cake, she picked up the suspicious crystal that had become soft.

"I ordered less tea, Youmu, can I ask you for a favor?"

"I understand……"

After taking a concerned look at the crystal, Youmu decided to go get the tea first.

After seeing Youmu off, Youyouko took a bite and leaned against the corridor, picked up the crystal again and began to observe it.

The crystals oozed mist in the underworld moonlight, wrapping around her wrists like a plea.

"Ah, even dead things have learned to seduce the dead?"

Youyouzi discovered that the crystal in her hand might not be a special ingredient, but something even more special...

As she chuckled, the scent of the crystals seeped into her soul.

At this moment, the cherry blossoms in the courtyard suddenly danced wildly, and each petal turned into a dead butterfly when it fell to the ground, gathering towards her pupils——
