Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

[A suitable character has been detected for managing the ranch, museum, tavern, and blacksmith shop. Should this character be assigned as the corresponding manager?]

【Yes. 】

Lala has become the manager of the blacksmith shop, Momo has become the manager of the museum, Nana has become the manager of the ranch, and Anzu has become the manager of the tavern.

All functions of the above-mentioned buildings are now open.

"Next, I need Lala to help me upgrade my pickaxe and axe, clear the clutter from the farm, explore the mines, and after the winter sacrifice, I can get the great fairies to come and help manage the farm."

If we follow the normal Stardew Valley game progression, completing the industrialization of brewing directly in winter within a year would be extremely difficult.

However, Mu Huai had a "large-scale MOD" that allowed him to travel to another world. The mineral needs and funding issues that would normally require a lot of effort to resolve were solved early on, so he easily accomplished this seemingly impossible goal.

He went back to his room, opened the letter sent by the Earth Spirit Palace, glanced at its contents, and decided to wait for Shinjo Akane to return before heading there with her to build a signal base station.

Before that, he had to sort out all the resources his wives had brought back for him after they left. He would turn anything that could be made into a prop, and anything that had any value for sale would be thrown into the shipping box and sold.

Now that the museum is unlocked, we can obtain ancient seeds and start planning how to grow ancient fruits for brewing wine, since these are the ultimate plants for the brewing school of thought.

Once the greenhouse is filled with ancient fruits, a batch of expensive ancient fruits can be harvested every seven days for winemaking, heralding the arrival of days where you can make money effortlessly.

.Ling Er Yi Shan Ling Ba Er.....

At Hakurei Shrine, Reimu is pretending to diligently sweep the air under the torii gate with a broom.

A large red bow fluttered in the wind behind her head, ruining the tranquil scene of the shrine and the beautiful shrine maiden, all because of her lazy black eyes.

After pretending to clean the front yard, Reimu casually tossed the broom aside and stretched.

"Hmm~~ Another peaceful day. I wonder when Mu Huai will come back. He helped me earn such a large sum of money, and I haven't properly thanked him yet. When he does, I'll treat him to tea that I, the priestess, brewed myself!"

For some unknown reason, the gem given to me by Yakumo Yukari has been growing greener and greener lately, and at night it makes the surrounding area look eerily green.

Reimu had considered putting the gem back in the house, but she was unwilling to let the new attraction she had spent half a day building with stones disappear without earning a single penny in admission fees.

"Anyway, there's hardly anyone here at night, so let it be. It'll be good to use it to scare away any troublemakers who come to cause trouble!"

"Hey!! Reimu, have you heard? Brother Mu Huai is back from another world!"

Marisa's voice grew louder as she approached. Riding her magic broom, she abruptly stopped in mid-air in front of Reimu, flicked the brim of her magic hat, and grinned, "How about we go find him to play?"

"Huh? No way." She pouted in disgust. "It's break time now, I don't want to run around with you."

"Isn't Mu Huai your fiancé? He's been away for so long and you haven't even gone to see him when he comes back?"

Reimu was speechless after Marisa's words, and she did realize that her attitude towards the money tree was not good enough. She helplessly scratched her head and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to visit him."

The two rushed to Pelican Town, but couldn't even find Mu Huai. Instead, they learned from Ais that he had gone to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

"Tsk, I came here specifically to see him, but he's not even home. I guess I should just go back to the shrine."

"Hey, hey, since we're already here, let's go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion again!"

Marisa tried to persuade them earnestly, not because she really wanted to match them up, but because she felt guilty about cheating and didn't want to make an excuse for cheating on Mu Huai again if she didn't do something.

"I'm too lazy to fly, just take me to the Scarlet Devil Mansion with your magic broom."

"Alright, buckle up, let's go!"

......

"You mean Brother Mu Huai? I don't know, I haven't seen him."

The Scarlet Devil Mansion's gatekeeper, Akane Mi-rei, is covered in throwing knives and stands on one leg against the wall.

When Marisa asked her questions, she knew nothing.

Fortunately, Sakuya Izayoi appeared in time and answered the question for her: "Mr. Muhuai went to the Bamboo Forest of the Lost to see Kaguya."

"I see, Reimu, let's go!"

"Okay, stop pulling me!"

......

"Boom!"

"Homebody! Is Brother Mu Huai here?" Marisa casually dragged Reimu into the room.

Kaguya sat in front of the computer with a silly grin on her face and glistening drool at the corner of her mouth, looking every bit the eccentric, sadistic girl.

She heard the door open, glanced at the two uninvited guests, and quickly looked away: "Wood went to the sunflower field."

"Brother Mu Huai can run so fast? This is already the third place..."

"That damned Mu Huai! He wasted so much of my rest time. If I see him, I'll make him give me... no, I mean, 100,000 yen to the shrine!"

Reimu exuded a strong stench of money, which made Marisa shake her head.

(Could it be that Mu Huai was really threatened by Yakumo Yukari before agreeing to become Reimu's fiancé?)

Volume 4, "Anything Can Happen in Gensokyo": Chapter 2: A Sour Hero? No! Gensokyo Mayhem!

Marisa, carrying Reimu who was radiating a low-pressure aura, arrived at the edge of the sunflower field and could see the conspicuous glass greenhouse from afar in the sky.

Out of curiosity, she landed near the flower shed and found that the owner of the sunflower field, Kazami Yuuka, was inside checking the potted plants that were sprouting green shoots. She immediately waved and called out, "Yuuka~~ Have you seen Brother Muhuai?"

"Mu Huai? He went to the Moriya Shrine."

Upon hearing this answer, Reimu nearly exploded with rage: "Fine, I searched the entire Gensokyo for him, and he actually went to my rival's house!"

This time, Marisa didn't even need to urge her; she took the initiative to head towards the Youkai Mountain.

......

"Sanae!!!" Reimu landed in the courtyard of Moriya Shrine like a shooting star, her eyes glowing red as if she was there to tear apart a mistress. "Where's Kyou! Hand over my money...fiancé!!"

Sanae was carrying seven or eight boxes of Gundam models into the house when she heard Sanae's loud voice. She sighed speechlessly and used the power of the wind to carry her words to Sanae's ears.

"He went to the Earth Spirit Temple; he's not here with me."

"The Earth Spirit Palace??" Marisa's eyes widened in surprise. Even she hadn't expected that Mu Huai would be connected with the Earth Spirit Palace.

After all, Komeiji Satori possesses the ability to read minds, and most yokai and humans keep their distance from her.

After searching five different places without finding Mu Huai, Reimu's anger had reached its peak. Her little fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and she said with a ferocious expression, "I'm not looking for him anymore. I'm going back to the shrine to sleep!"

Marisa didn't try to persuade her this time. She was in a fit of anger, and if she found Mu Huai in the Earth Spirit Palace, the two of them would probably fight.

......

Upon returning, Mu Huai realized that even though there was nothing to do in Pelican Town, there were still many things he needed to handle in Gensokyo.

First, I went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to visit Remilia and Flandre, and let them happily drink my blood. Afterwards, the aloof head maid helped me deal with the aftermath as usual.

Perhaps because Remilia had already told Izayoi Sakuya about her relationship with Moku, the head maid was now using all her skills to serve him as if he were her true master.

It almost sucked Mu Huai's soul out of him, and he also discovered that their stockings had been replaced with precious stockings produced by the labyrinth city of Orario.

It feels smooth and delicate to the touch, almost indistinguishable from touching a young girl's skin directly.

After reluctantly leaving the Scarlet Devil Mansion, he sent Kaguya games and anime from another world, and learned that the anime and collections on her computer had been restored.

Afterwards, they went to the sunflower field and the Moriya Shrine to give gifts.

After doing all this, he returned to Pelican Town and took Shinjo Akane to Hell.

It's called hell, but the real hell has long been moved away. Now it's just an underground ruin with high temperatures and some vengeful spirits.

The Earth Spirit Palace was built above Hell. Komeiji Satori used the high temperature of Hell to successfully install heating on the floor of the Earth Spirit Palace, and then set up a central temperature control center to house pets that are used to living in high temperatures.

These pets will help her manage the enormous Earth Spirit Temple, and incidentally, keep an eye on the wandering vengeful spirits.

The Temple of the Earth Spirits is a building with a Western style, made of checkerboard red bricks and stained glass. It seems that the style hits the aesthetic of Akane Shinjo, as she took out her phone and kept taking pictures from afar to close up.

The letter from Komeiji Satoru had already specified the location for the signal base station, so Mu Huai didn't need to go to great lengths to find a suitable place.

After taking pictures of the two buildings, Akane Shinjo couldn't wait to go back and share the photos of the Temple of the Underworld with others, so he sent her back first before returning to Hell.

On his second visit to the Earth Spirit Palace, Komeiji Satoru appeared before him with his sister: "Was that one of your girlfriends just now?"

"Ah."

"It's rare to see a girl whose thoughts and actions are consistent, and she seems to have a very special power that makes it impossible for me to keep listening to her inner thoughts."

After giving a brief evaluation, she calmly led her younger sister toward home, not forgetting to greet Mu Huai: "Since you're here, come in and sit for a while. I'll introduce you to A-Lin and A-Kong; they're my pets."

"Reiuji Sora and Fire Cat Rin, right?"

"If you know, it will be much more convenient. They are all very well-behaved children who have been helping me manage the Earth Spirit Palace all these years."

Despite her petite appearance, Komeiji Satoru speaks in a manner that makes her seem more like a mature and composed older sister, a contrast that Mu Huai finds quite endearing.

She, who was walking ahead, suddenly paused, and then the tips of her ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"W- At a time like this, you're flattering me. You're not trying to seduce me, are you? As expected of a Gensokyo stallion."

Mu Huai's face darkened: "I really need to find some time to beat up Pao Ziwen. How did you, who lives in the Earth Spirit Palace, even know about this defamatory title?"

Komeiji Ren playfully poked her older sister's pink earlobe, then turned to him and said, "After my sister came back, she read all the news related to you, big brother!"

"Lianlian! You don't need to say things like that!"

"Oh? Is that so? I'm sorry, sister."

"Sigh... never mind..."

Komeiji Satoru, suppressing her embarrassment, pushed open the door and entered the house. She could hear the thought "affection +1" popping up in Mu Huai's mind, clearly indicating that he was using this method to show his affection for her.

She is good at reading minds, but that doesn't mean she's good at socializing.

Right now, she had absolutely no idea how to deal with Mu Huai's relentless onslaught. She had only invited him over to her house with the intention of introducing him to her two pets.

But unexpectedly, he ended up on the torture rack, and he was too embarrassed to go back on his word and ask Mu Huai to go back.

Perhaps sensing Komeiji Satoru's predicament, Mu Huai stopped his incessant inner monologue, allowing her to catch her breath.

What would you like to drink?

"Both black tea and green tea are fine."

"Then let's have black tea."

"Thank you."

Taking a sip of the black tea brewed by Komeiji Satori, Mu Huai said seriously, "Satori, besides helping you build the signal base station, there's actually something else I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"No problem, go ahead and tell me."

"I know you usually like to stay at home, so could you and Lianlian be game testers together?"

Komeiji Satoru tilted his head and thought for a moment, then readily agreed: "That's no problem. What kind of game are you planning to make?"

"MO games, to put it simply, are games where players are divided into two teams and compete against each other to win."

"That sounds quite interesting."

"Hehe, this is just the first step in connecting Pelican Town with Gensokyo. There are many more plans to be implemented later!"

Have you decided on a name for the game?

"Let's call it Rancid... no, Gensokyo Grand Melee!"

Volume 4, "Anything Can Happen in Gensokyo": Chapter 3, "The Gensokyo Internet Addiction Center Is About to Open."

The reason why Mu Huai suddenly started making games at this time was because he was targeting the lack of entertainment options in Gensokyo.

These idle monsters have nothing to do all day except think about *****, which in a sense makes them prone to causing strange occurrences.

So he wanted to use MO games, a genre that is extremely addictive at first glance, to hook these monsters who have nothing to do all day.

As long as they're willing to try the game, there's no need to worry about them not getting hooked.

After all, youkai are inherently warlike, otherwise Yukari Yakumo wouldn't have used spell card battles to restrain them. If it weren't for the spell card rules, Gensokyo would have been riddled with holes long ago.

To play the game "Gensokyo Rumble," you need a computer and an internet connection.

Currently, the only people in Gensokyo who own personal computers are Kaguya, Komeiji Satoru, and the people living in Pelican Town.

Mu Huai plans to open an internet cafe in Pelican Town for monsters who want to play games, while monsters who don't like a lively atmosphere can consider buying a personal computer to play at home.

This will lead to a new problem: currently, there aren't many factions in Gensokyo that have built signal base stations. If the youkai who buys the computer happens to live in a place that isn't covered by a signal base station, they won't be able to connect to the internet.

She would definitely find a way to get Mu Huai to build a signal base station near her home, so that she wouldn't have to worry about the promotion of technological creations in Gensokyo.

Even if you don't like competitive games, he has prepared a series of games such as "Farm of Fantasy Land" and "Pokémon of Fantasy Land", which basically cover the preferences of most yokai.
