Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

"You can't sleep, why did you come over? Is it really okay not to train in the training room?"

"Rei has temporarily eliminated my presence with her ability, so Remilia and her head maid won't be able to detect me for a while."

Komeiji Satoru walked to a spot about a fist's width away from Kiyoshi and sat down, then held out her small hand to him: "Give me some sunflower seeds too."

"Ah."

The two sat quietly on the rooftop, cracking sunflower seeds, until they finished them.

"It's about time to go to sleep." Mu Huai clapped his hands, preparing to get up and leave.

"Wait, half an hour hasn't passed yet. Read a novel with me for a while."

What type of novel?

Komeiji Satoru took out a book about two fingers thick from behind her. By the moonlight, Mu Huai could see the title written in gold on the leather cover: "Reincarnated into Another World to Become a Mother".

"This strong smell of toilet paper from another world... You didn't just randomly buy a light novel in another world, did you?"

She playfully covered most of her face with a book: "Why don't you guess whether this is an isekai novel or from Gensokyo?"

"I'm 100% sure this is a light novel set in another world!"

With a smile in her peach-colored eyes, Komeiji Satoru laid the novel flat on her lap and wiggled her index finger from side to side: "Too bad, you guessed wrong. This is a local novel that is currently being sold at the Human Village Bookstore."

"Now that you mention it, I need to take a good look at what's written inside."

"Then sit down, I'll read it to you."

"Okay, okay." Mu Huai sat down eagerly.

Then Komeiji Satoru snuggled her petite, soft body into his arms, as if warning or reminding him, and looked up as she said, "Don't think of strange things that will affect my reading of the novel."

"understand!"

"Then I'll start reading."

"Ah."

"Chapter One: The wise often become withdrawn due to excessive worry. I am a great mage who has lived for thousands of years. In my long life, I began to search for the true meaning of life... and then... I became withdrawn."

"During an experiment, he was distracted and accidentally blew himself up. He thought his soul would go to the underworld, but he found himself reincarnated in a strange world he had never even heard of..."

Her soft, ethereal voice was like a gentle lullaby, and Mu Huai could only try his best to resist the sleepiness that kept rising from the depths of his brain.

However, after Komeiji noticed that he was drowsy, she took the initiative to change her position so that he could lie on his side with his head on her thigh and sleep. She then began to hum a lullaby.

After Mu Huai fell asleep, she closed the novel that hadn't been opened more than a few pages and put it aside, then played with his dark hair.

"What a pity, if you had listened a little longer you would have realized that this is a novel I wrote."

Despite saying this, Komeiji Satoru showed no regret in her eyes; this little accident could easily be considered a sequel in her novel.

Because of her mind-reading ability, she learned a lot of interesting knowledge from Mu Huai, who was always talking nonsense, which greatly filled the gap in her inspiration for writing novels.

Among these interesting facts, the term "Loli Mom," which pops into his mind almost every time they meet, coincidentally overlaps with the character designation of the female protagonist in her latest novel.

So Komeiji Satoru decisively applied the relevant settings to the female protagonist, and her reason for coming to see Muhuai tonight was a simpler one—to gather material through practice.

Although she had never been a mother, she still had some experience in taking care of animals; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to raise those two pets in the Earth Spirit Palace to be so healthy and shiny.

Whether it was telling bedtime stories, humming lullabies, or giving Mu Huai a lap pillow, she thought she did it perfectly.

If he hadn't done things properly, he wouldn't have been able to sleep so soundly, without a single trembling thought before falling asleep.

After patting Mu Huai's head to her heart's content, Komeiji Satoru's gaze suddenly lingered on his lips, and the urge to bend down and kiss him suddenly popped into her head.

Whether she admits it or not, while using mind reading to acquire knowledge she didn't know, some of Mu Huai's thoughts did indeed plant seeds in her heart.

Given the right opportunity, they will spring up like mushrooms after rain, just like they are now.

"How about... we try kissing him? Anyway, he'll be marrying into the Earth Spirit Palace sooner or later."

Once a breach appears in one's mental defenses, there is no way to stop bold ideas from surging and churning in one's mind. Komeiji Satoru's lips trembled slightly, and it took several deep breaths to control his nervous emotions.

She raised her hand to tuck the pink hair beside her ear, then slowly leaned down, gradually closing the distance between their lips.

"Sister! Remilia's here to get you!"

"ah!"

"Sister, what's wrong?" Komeiji Ren didn't understand why her sister's face was as red as the lava beneath the Earth Spirit Palace. She walked over and put her small hand on her shoulder. "Let's go back quickly. Remilia will find us soon by following the scent of blood."

Interrupted by his sister, Komeiji Satoru shook his head helplessly, assuming that the time for them to kiss hadn't come yet: "Okay, I'll take Muhuai back to his bedroom and then leave."

The two sisters carried Mu Huai back to his room, carefully took off his shoes and socks, covered him with a quilt, and then left.

Remilia followed the scent of blood in the air to Mu Huai's house, but the scent stopped at the gate. She stood in front of the gate, puzzled, unsure whether she should go in.

"Logically speaking, Komeiji Satoru shouldn't have much contact with Mu Huai. Could it be that he's not used to the high-intensity training and came out for some fresh air?"

She felt this was highly likely and planned to go back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to see if Komeiji Satoru had returned.

But she hadn't flown far after turning around when the sweet and delicious taste of Mu Huai's blood instantly assaulted her brain.

"Cuckoo-"

Her stomach growled loudly, and Remilia flew back to Mu Huai's house. She wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and said, "It must be because the training was too exhausting that I'm hungry. To ensure I can win the Dream Cup, I'll secretly drink some of Mu Huai's blood. He'll understand, right?"

She transformed into a swarm of blood-red bats and flew into Mu Huai's bedroom. Perhaps because hunger affected her ability, she lost control when she transformed back into human form and crashed directly into his stomach from mid-air.

"Goooo!!"

He bounced up like a U-shaped needle from the impact, wincing in pain as he grabbed Remilia, who was trying to slip away. With a dark face and a forced smile, he asked, "My dear young lady, are you planning to just leave after waking me up with your butt?"

"I...I don't know anything, I didn't do it!"

"Hmph! Trying to escape? Do you think you can outrun my Gungnir?"

"That's clearly the name of my weapon, how could I use it on yours... No, no, no, I was wrong!"

Sakuya Izayoi prepared a late-night snack and went to the training room, only to find that Remilia was not in the room.

"Strange, did the young lady sneak out to play?"

The loyal head maid had no idea that the young lady she served was pitifully holding onto Mu Huai's Gungnir, sincerely apologizing.

"Remi...Remi was wrong, meow~"

Volume 4, "Anything Can Happen in Gensokyo": Chapter 18 - Getting Caught in the Act of Gossip

Unlike its usual tranquility, Hakurei Shrine has been unusually lively lately.

Alice divided the team training into two parts: in the afternoon, the team members would play games individually to train their resilience, and in the evening, they would team up together to cultivate team synergy.

She remembered that Mu Huai emphasized that in order to win the game, it was especially important to have a stable mindset to withstand the pressure and ensure that one's strengths could be fully utilized. He even disrupted the five players' preferred lane assignments and required them to choose random heroes.

And so, every afternoon, you could hear the beautiful fantasy slang of pretty girls greeting their teammates online from the guest rooms in the atrium.

No matter where you are, MO games inevitably have two types of players: those who are eager to win but have no smile on their face, and those who don't care about winning or losing and laugh it off.

Especially since the game "Gensokyo Rumble" has only recently been released for public testing, many youkai are still figuring out the basic controls, so it's almost impossible for them to perform normally in team battles.

He's either wandering around in the jungle or he manages to miss with his Q.

In this context, a group of "elegant" online pianists quickly emerged in Gensokyo, who, with physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary humans, controlled their game characters to fight while simultaneously exchanging insults in the team chat.

Some hot-tempered monsters even got so angry that they quit the game and went to fight the network cable. After that, they would be confronted by their teammates who lost the game because they went AFK.

Mu Huai not only did not stop offline PKs, but also specially set up a "Didi Fighting Platform" after the game ended, so that monsters could prove themselves right with their strength.

His actions initially led Yukari Yakumo to believe that they would cause chaos in Gensokyo, but unexpectedly, the youkai developed a culture that "if you don't fight, you're not a true gamer."

Even if they're covered in dust and grime after the fight, they'll still go to the internet addiction center arm in arm and team up for another round of "Gensokyo Rumble," as if their previous conflicts have disappeared in the spell card battles.

After being dragged down by teammates with all sorts of bizarre item builds and losing five games in a row, Marisa angrily slammed her fist on the table.

"Who's really winning this game?!"

Reimu calmly sipped her hot tea, glanced sideways, and said indifferently, "You're already this angry after only five losses. What if you get eliminated in the first round of the official competition? Won't you just explode?"

"It's because I kept getting matched with that guy called 'Money Shaker, Money Shaker.' He never builds any decent items. Warriors build mage items, mages build assassin items, and marksmen build tank items. You'd be furious if you were in his shoes."

"Maybe she's just developing some kind of strategy. Didn't Youmu come up with some kind of R+Fairy+Earthfire combo?"

"I'd rather have teammates who don't know how to play than encounter this kind of research-oriented player again."

Marisa exhaled a long breath, releasing her pent-up anger. She stood up, supporting herself on her knees, intending to pour herself a cup of tea. Her gaze inadvertently swept across Reimu's computer screen, and she was shocked to discover that Reimu's game ID was "Money Shaker".

"Damn you, Reimu! So it was you who tricked me!!"

She roared and delivered a flying kick.

"I never said that wasn't me."

Reimu, holding a teacup, tilted to the left to dodge the flying kick. Before she could even utter a taunt, she was hit squarely on the head by a broom, which knocked the ribbon at the back of her head askew.

"Marisa!!! How dare you!"

The two immediately started fighting, and then Alice's puppet maid grabbed them by the back of their collars and threw them out. Alice stood with her hands on her hips and said angrily, "If you want to fight, go outside and fight. Don't disturb the other people's training!"

How could Marisa possibly defeat Reimu, the invincible guardian of Gensokyo under the Hakurei Barrier? After having the last bit of change stolen from her empty wallet, she decisively rode away on her magic broom.

A wise mage doesn't suffer immediate losses; at least until she gets dinner, she won't go back to the Hakurei Shrine.

.......

At this time, Mu Huai's home was also unusually lively.

A large group of girls squatted behind the sofa with him, secretly watching Mengmeng and Nana arguing with their heads touching.

Even though they are sisters, they seem to be born enemies, arguing every day over trivial matters that others would consider insignificant.

Lala was initially worried that the other girls would find the younger sisters too noisy, but when she saw them each holding watermelon, cola, sunflower seeds, popcorn and other snacks they liked, and happily watching the show with Mu Huai, she was quite surprised.

The worries in my heart instantly disappeared, and I also grabbed some snacks and joined the melon-eating crowd.

Daily friction is unavoidable, but girls tend to be more mindful of it and try to avoid arguments.

Just like how Tornado and Medina would never act arrogantly in front of the simple and innocent Ais, they had often had Mu Huai snatched away from them by Ais because of their insincerity.

In her words, "You all clearly said you didn't want to sleep with Mu Huai tonight, so isn't it perfect that I'm here to keep him company?"

In conclusion, with the sudden appearance of two sisters in the family who bicker every day but always make up quickly, Nana and Mengmeng are practically the family's gossip field, producing all sorts of gossip every day, in the eyes of the women who have picked up Mu Huai's bad habit of gossiping.

"White is definitely better!"

"Ha! So kids' aesthetic sense is so boring. Don't you know that black is the most alluring color?"

What is your basis for this claim?

"That's what everyone says on the internet."

Nana chuckled, slightly raising her chin and revealing a confident smile that suggested she had the upper hand.

The rest of the onlookers perked up; their experience as gossip enthusiasts told them that this expression was a sign she was about to tell big news.

He thought to himself: The melon is coming!

"I have real data to back me up, which is much more reliable than the answers on the internet whose authenticity is unknown."

“Really…” Mengmeng frowned, her gaze unconsciously drifting to the woman’s slender legs clad in white over-the-knee socks.

Nana understood the meaning from her actions, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she scolded, "What nonsense are you thinking? I didn't do anything like that!"

"What? So it wasn't her doing it herself..." Shinjo Akane, the number one bystander, muttered in disappointment. "Since it wasn't Nana's personal experience, did someone secretly go to find wood and get caught?"

The other girls all remained silent; none of them could be sure that the person Nana was talking about wasn't themselves.

Upon hearing Nana's answer, Mengmeng's brows instantly relaxed, and she visibly breathed a sigh of relief. She crossed her arms and retorted sarcastically, "Then tell me your actual data."

"Hmph, listen up!"

"According to the statistics of the owl friends in the neighborhood, a witch wearing white knee-high socks has come to see my brother-in-law fourteen times at night!"

As soon as Nana finished speaking, Mu Huai rushed towards the entrance like an arrow, but the door, which was so close at hand, became an insurmountable barrier for him.
