Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

"If you're willing to call me Lady Cirno, then I might be able to use the smartest brain in Gensokyo to help you solve your problem."

Unexpectedly, this mockery did not discourage Reimu; instead, it restored brightness to her dim eyes.

"Yeah! Why am I thinking so much? As long as I find the remaining locations, I'll be able to meet the Komeiji sisters. Once the Dream Begins, will they still be a match for me?"

After figuring it out, Reimu patted her chest with lingering fear and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

"That was close, I almost lost my mind."

Now that she had obtained a clue, she saw no need to linger there any longer and turned to leave.

Unaware of the situation, Marisa hurriedly changed her clothes, wrapped her hair in a towel, and ran downstairs again, only to find that there was no one left at the front door.

In the sweltering heat, even just running up and down the stairs is enough to soak her freshly changed clothes with sweat.

Marisa frantically ripped the towel off her head and waved it around in frustration: "Ughhhh!! I have to take another shower. Is Reimu really here to find clues, or is she just playing a prank on me to get revenge?"

.......

Next, Reimu went to the Youkai Mountain, Moriya Shrine, and Scarlet Devil Mansion in that order, and finally received the last letter from Izayoi Sakuya.

“Miss Komeiji said that the meeting address is written in this, and asked me to give it to you.”

"Yes, thank you, Sakuya."

"You're welcome."

The head maid bowed slightly and disappeared from the spot. Lingyi ignored Hong Meiling, whose head was covered with throwing knives, and opened the envelope as she walked out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Pelican Town, Coal Forest, I'll be waiting for you here, shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine.

"Hmph, so you're finally not going to hide anymore?" Reimu sneered disdainfully, casually turning the letter into dust, and then tearing off the talisman stuck to Cirno's body. "Let's go, you're useless now."

"Hehehe~ You talk like a villain, you're definitely going to get a spanking!"

Perhaps fearing being caught, Cirno turned into a cloud of ice mist after making a face, disappearing from the spot at a speed that was completely beyond the reach of the naked eye.

"I could lose? Absolutely not!"

In Reimu's memories, ever since she became a shrine maiden and mastered the Dream Innate and Dream Sealing techniques, she has never lost to any youkai.

At most, she might not find a weakness in her opponent during a spell card battle, resulting in a draw. But next time, she could use the information she gathered to feed her opponent the colorful Dream Seal Orb, thwarting her schemes.

"I have nothing to be afraid of anymore!" Reimu walked towards Pelican Town with her head held high. "We will win!"

......

Rewind to when Reimu went to Eientei. Muya had just been brought back to Pelican Town by Komeiji Ren. Reimu and Nana, her two beautiful sisters-in-law, were waiting for her with smiles at the door.

It was as if they already knew he would be brought back.

Mengmeng stepped forward and extended her right hand to the heroine: "Thank you for rescuing my brother-in-law from the shrine, Miss Komeiji."

"..."

Komeiji Ren didn't respond. She silently took two steps back and hid behind Mu Huai. The next second, she disappeared without a trace from the two sisters' subconscious, as if she had never existed.

"what?"

Mengmeng was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why she reached out to the air next to Mu Huai, but the joy of her brother-in-law being back by her side quickly made her ignore this insignificant matter.

"Mu Huai Jun~~"

She was about to tiptoe and give him a passionate kiss as a greeting for their long-awaited reunion when Nana grabbed her tail from behind, stopping her infatuated behavior.

"Yeah~"

“We’re not here so you can lay a hand on your brother-in-law. Hurry up and take him to that place according to the plan.”

"Yes, you're right. I forgive your impolite act of grabbing my tail."

"Huh? I didn't do anything wrong, why do I need your forgiveness?"

Mu Huai was completely confused. He raised his hand and gently stroked their heads, asking, "What are you talking about? I've only been away from home for a day or two, how come I can't understand what you're trying to do?"

"Hehe~" A mischievous glint flashed in Nana's eyes as she playfully nudged his palm. "Why don't you guess, brother-in-law? If you guess right, I'll give you a reward!"

"Me too, me too! If Mu Huai-jun guesses right, I'll give you a super~ amazing surprise, and..."

Mengmeng winked and quickly ran her tongue across her lips, giving them an alluring, watery sheen.

Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, Nana, her face flushed red, silenced her with a headbutt.

"Shameless bastard, what are you doing to your brother-in-law in front of me?!"

"Ouch!! What are you doing!?"

"I should be asking you what you're up to! You haven't even taken a single step yet, and you're already openly and secretly trying to seduce your brother-in-law. Don't you have any shame?!"

Nana was so angry that her two pigtails stood straight up. Before coming here, she had clearly agreed with Mengmeng that they would compete fairly, but this girl, relying on her thick skin, kept hinting with her tone and actions.

They're just taking advantage of the fact that she's an honest person!

Seeing the two sisters bickering as usual, Mu Huai skillfully took out cola and popcorn, sat cross-legged, and planned to watch them fight while listening to what had happened at home in the past two days.

"Sigh... I knew these two would argue when they came. Some things just have to be done personally..."

Komeiji Satoru's helpless tone reached Mu Huai's ears. She walked over, bent down, and removed the popcorn crumbs stuck to his mouth, then put them into her cherry-like mouth and chewed them a couple of times.

Only after doing all that did I greet him.

"Mu Huai, it seems you're doing quite well at the Hakurei Shrine. Have you missed me?"

"Of course I want to."

"Hmm..." Komeiji Satoru's face suddenly turned pink, and she shyly reached out and gently tapped Mu Huai's head: "Can't you think of me in a more normal way?"

He blinked innocently and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"Legs, belly... and other words I'm too embarrassed to say. Sometimes I really wish I couldn't read your mind."

She sounded like she was complaining that Mu Huai was full of nonsense, but her next actions showed no sign of dislike for him.

Komeiji Satoru took out her phone to check the time. After confirming that there was enough free time, she didn't rush to separate the alien sisters who were fighting. Instead, she sat down next to Mu Huai and snatched popcorn from his hand.

"Hey, if you want some, I'll just give you a separate serving. Why are you taking mine?"

"Of course, the ones you snatch taste better! Hmm... this interaction of ours could be used as material..."

"What material?"

"Nothing, did you do something to Lianlian? She's too scared to come with me to find you."

Mu Huai paused, his hand still holding the popcorn he was about to put in his mouth. He looked helpless and puzzled. "Do I need to repeat myself?"

“Of course!” Komeiji Satoru rested his chin on his hands, a lazy smile creeping onto his lips. “I prefer to hear you tell stories in person rather than relying on your mind-reading ability.”

"Okay, then you can make sure you don't miss anything."

After recounting how he had asked Komeiji Koishi for her opinion, Mu Huai noticed that Komeiji Satoru was showing her cute front teeth and staring at him with a sly smile.

"I was worried that you would think my actions were unnecessary, but now it seems that I did something that pleased you?"

"Yes, I've always been worried about Lianlian's unwillingness to think. If you could pry open her almost closed heart and move in, it wouldn't be a bad thing."

"So...can I ask you for a small reward or something?"

"A reward..." Komeiji Satoru thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "No problem, consider it as me owing you one. You'd better think carefully about how to use this reward."

Meanwhile, the two sisters' daily fight had also reached a dead end.

Mengmeng held onto Nana's pigtails tightly, biting the tips of them with her mouth and swirling her tongue around them, trying to weaken Nana's unreasonable strength.

"Despicable...to use such...methods..."

"Humph!"

Nana, who was limp and powerless, was also holding Mengmeng's tail, but for some reason, her sister, who usually collapsed at the slightest touch, actually withstood the attack from the tip of the tail.

Even though her tightly closed lips kept emitting sweet, suggestive moans, Mengmeng's grip on her hands didn't loosen in the slightest.

At times like this, Lala would come over and separate the two who were on the verge of exhaustion to prevent them from pushing themselves to the point of fainting.

However, Lala, as the eldest sister, is not here now, and Mu Huai and Komeiji Satoru, who is constantly being influenced by his mind-reading abilities, are even less likely to come over and mediate the fight.

Neither of them wanted to lose to their older sister/younger sister, so they silently tormented each other until they both fell into a coma.

Mu Huai, who was chatting and laughing just a second ago, realized that Mengmeng and Nana had stopped moving, so he immediately jumped up and ran towards them.

"They were still breathing, so they must have fallen into a coma after exhaustion."

This wasn't the first time Mu Huai had dealt with something like this. He scooped up a beautiful girl with each hand and tucked her under his arms, straightened up, and asked Komeiji Satoru, "Where do we go next?"

"Go to the blacksmith's shop. They were supposed to take you there, but something unexpected happened."

"Okay, let's go then."

"Us?" Komeiji Satoru was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand: "I won't go with you, I have some things to take care of."

"So all I have to do is stay in the blacksmith shop?"

“If possible…” She glanced helplessly at the unconscious Mengmeng and Nana, “You should try to wake them up. After that, do whatever you want according to their plan.”

"learn."

......

Back in the present, Reimu walked through the autumn-colored forest path and soon arrived at the coal forest located below the Muhuai Farm, following the map of Pelican Town.

The lakeside in autumn has lost the vibrant life of spring and summer. A few withered reeds are broken on the stagnant water, like a row of rusted water pipes.

A sharp cry came from afar, the sound of some unknown bird. After a short cry, there was no more sound, as if it were the last bird song of its life.

The person Reimu was looking for wasn't hiding; instead, he was sitting comfortably at the head of a log bridge over the lake, fishing with a simple fishing rod that looked like something a child would make with a stick and rope.

"How leisurely! She caused an incident and stole my man, yet she still lets me run around all over Gensokyo."

She slowly clenched her fist, her knuckles making a series of popping sounds like "jiulinglusiliu nqixia+(,er/)bakaka," and continued with a forced smile: "Do you think I should treat you to the Dream Seal, or the Dream Seal itself?"

Komeiji Satoru calmly pulled the fishing hook out of the lake, leisurely placed the fishing rod on his left, and then stood up, responding to Reimu with a smile: "More than this, do you understand anything from your journey here?"

Knowing that the other party possessed mind-reading abilities, Reimu was too lazy to lie or bluff, and rolled her eyes at her: "What can you possibly learn from a few unrelated locations? You just want me to run around in this sweltering heat, don't you?"

"Really? Looks like you're even dumber than I thought."

"Hehe~~" Reimu let out a strange laugh, her dark eyes blazing with fury that almost materialized into flames. "Looks like you really want to be taught a lesson by the Dream Seal."

"Although it's not the answer I imagined, it can still be used as good material, so let's leave it at that for now."

Komeiji Satoru's work of gathering materials using the incident has temporarily come to an end. The more important thing now is to consider how to make a dignified retreat from Reimu's angry state.

After finishing things here, she planned to go play with her sister at Mu Huai's place. She couldn't let herself get beaten up and have to stay in the hospital for four or five days.

In the blink of an eye, Komeiji Satoru had come up with a good way to deal with Reimu. She bent down, picked up the fish, and said calmly, "Reimu, if you plan to ambush me with a talisman first and then release the Dream Seal in one go, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time achieving the effect you want."

"Tsk, that's why I said that a monster that can read minds is just being weird."

The spell card battle rules in Gensokyo are more like a bullet hell rock-paper-scissors game, where you use your limited spell cards to target the weaknesses of your opponent's spell cards in order to win.

Komeiji Satoru, who can read minds, is like a player in a card game with X-ray vision; he can see exactly what cards his opponent is going to play and what cards they have.

Volume 4, "Anything Can Happen in Gensokyo": Chapter 37, Momo Longs to Confess

Mu Huai walked into the blacksmith shop filled with the smell of metal and flames, and was surprised to find that this smell could only be smelled from the outside, but when he went inside, he smelled the familiar Lala's elegant body fragrance.

She's like a red rose that always blooms towards you; her fiery attitude and figure convey her burning love and affection.

Mu Huai had just settled Mengmeng and Nana on the sofa when Lala, hearing the clear sound of the doorbell, immediately came out of the forging room.

Upon seeing him, Lala dropped the hammer and screwdriver in her hand, leaped forward and pinned him to the ground, then sealed his mouth with her fiery red lips the next second.

After a long, breathtaking kiss, Lala finally released her lips and took a deep, satisfying breath: "Hiss~~ Ha~~~ I really need to kiss you every day! Things I couldn't understand before suddenly make sense!"

"Am I some kind of magic pill?" Mu Huai complained, both amused and exasperated, but he had to admit that his vanity had been greatly satisfied.

"Hehe~" She rubbed against him like a puppy for a while before belatedly asking, "Why are you back so soon? Didn't you say you might stay at the Hakurei Shrine for a week or two?"

"If I had to say something...did a kind person let me come back early?"

"Then I really have to thank that kind person, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see you today!"

Mu Huai affectionately stroked Lala's soft pink hair behind her back while sitting up with his arm around her slender waist: "Do you have any tools that can quickly wake someone up from a coma?"

"No, there isn't one, but there is a 'punctual wake-up call' that can easily wake up no matter how soundly someone is sleeping!"

"So, what is the price?"
