Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

"Since it is called a soul embryo, I am more inclined to believe that the child will exist in the form of a spirit after birth, because it is so rare and there are not many related records in books."

"Leave the task of prying into fate to me."

Remilia, having regained her senses, took the initiative to suggest that, although she was unhappy that Yakumo Yukari had inexplicably had a child with Mu Huai, she wasn't petty enough to hold a grudge against an unborn life.

She glanced angrily at Izayoi Sakuya's belly before turning her scarlet eyes to Yakumo Yukari. The purple thread representing fate gradually came into view, and it was clear that this was the thread representing her fate.

Remilia stared for about half a minute longer, but still couldn't see the other thread of fate. Until her eyes felt like they were being pricked by needles and her vision began to blur, she reluctantly closed her eyes and stopped peering at fate.

Then, rubbing her aching temples, she said helplessly, "No, I can't see the threads of that child's destiny. This is unreasonable. I can see even the stones on the roadside. Patchouli, are you really sure there's a soul embryo in Yakumo Yukari's belly?"

"It's absolutely true. I couldn't possibly be wrong about my magical perception. There are indeed two different magical fluctuations within Yakumo Yukari's body."

"Is the soul embryo so special that even destiny cannot manifest it?"

"Sister! Sister!" Flandre skipped and raised her little hand: "Let me try. If I can see different 'eyes,' maybe it will prove that the child exists."

"Isn't this a bit too risky?"

Mu Huai was afraid that if she really saw the child's "eyes," she might lose control of her impulse and crush them, causing the soul embryo to die.

"Fran can tie your hands, Sakuya!"

"Yes, Miss."

Sakuya Izayoi quickly tied Flandre's hands behind her back with hemp rope. One of the actions she used to unleash her destructive power was to grab and crush the "Eye" in her hands, so tying her hands up was also an effective way to prevent her from accidentally injuring someone.

Seeing that her danger level had been reduced to the minimum, Mu Huai reluctantly agreed to let Flandre use her ability to check her out; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do it even if he had a thousand lives.

Flandre tilted her head, clutched the hem of her clothes with her little hands, and stared intently at Yakumo Yukari with wide eyes. No matter how hard she tried to concentrate, she couldn't see a single "eye" appear on Yakumo Yukari's body.

"No..." She shook her head regretfully, "I can't see anything. I'm sorry, big brother, I couldn't help you."

"It's okay, you've already tried your best."

Mu Huai gently stroked her head to comfort her, then asked Patchouli, who was engrossed in writing and drawing in her book, "If there were a body capable of containing a soul embryo, could the consciousness of the soul embryo be transferred to it?"

“In theory, this is feasible. You can think of the soul embryo as a more special and rare shikigami. To give it a body, you either need to provide the corresponding energy or provide a suitable vessel.”

"I understand. By the way, if I take Yakumo Yukari to the Underworld, the soul embryo shouldn't be affected, right?"

"This... I don't know. You can go to the entrance to the underworld and see if Yukari Yakumo leaves your side. If she disappears, it means that the soul embryo will be affected by the underworld. If she doesn't disappear, there is probably no problem."

"Well, I'll take my leave now. You all continue with your afternoon tea."

Mu Huai left the Scarlet Devil Mansion with a heavy heart. Flandre wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Izayoi Sakuya.

"Second Miss, you can't go with him."

Why?

Remilia tapped the table lightly with a stern face: "Fran, he's going to the Underworld to find Yuyuko, an expert in souls. Don't go and cause him trouble."

"Is Yuyuko really an expert on souls? I feel like she's more like an evil spirit who can never get enough to eat."

Flandre still remembers that once the Scarlet Devil Mansion hosted a banquet for the youkai of Gensokyo, but Yuyuko alone ate up the funds that would have been used to rebuild the Scarlet Devil Mansion more than a hundred times.

Although Scarlet Devil Mansion is wealthy and powerful, it cannot withstand such a fuss from the other party.

Yuyuko truly used her cherry-like mouth, capable of devouring everything, to eat up the entire banquet. She even regarded the Scarlet Devil Mansion itself as a chocolate house sprinkled with frosting, and ate it into her stomach bite by bite.

“That glutton…” Remilia’s face darkened, clearly recalling that disastrous banquet. Her eyes twitched involuntarily, and she turned to Patchouli, who was still engrossed in taking notes. She coughed and asked, her face flushed, “Patchouli, do you have… that kind of… magic?”

She looked up blankly, not understanding what she was saying at all: "What magic?"

"It's...it's..."

"What is it? Speak louder, I didn't hear you."

"Magic that makes it easier for people to get pregnant."

As is widely known, vampires reproduce not through sexual intercourse, but through drinking and giving blood.

Therefore, this magic was definitely not meant for her and Flandre, and among the girls present, there was only one who had a relationship with Mu Huai and was capable of bearing children.

The perfectly elegant head maid – Izayoi Sakuya.

"Young Miss...you're not joking, are you?"

Even Izayoi Sakuya's smile faltered slightly after learning that Remilia wanted to do something.

"The concept of marriage doesn't exist among the youkai in Gensokyo. Mu Huai is a piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh, coveted by many youkai. Our Scarlet Devil Mansion has the advantage in numbers in this regard. If we don't take the initiative to assert our dominance now, when will we?"

Remilia offered earnest advice, but Patchouli felt a chill run down her spine; she felt as if she had been included in their scheme.

"But..."

"I don't care! You just need to have a child with him right now!"

Volume 4, Gensokyo: Anything Can Happen - Chapter 55, Shinjo Akane: Mechagodzilla Stands Tall on the Earth

Suddenly, he had another daughter. Mu Huai hadn't gone far from the Scarlet Devil Mansion when Hong Meiling called him back.

"Brother Mu Huai, wait a minute!"

"Meiling, you're actually awake? Is the world about to end?" he joked casually.

But instead of laughing it off as usual, Hong Meiling stared solemnly at Yakumo Yukari's lower abdomen: "I can feel the life force of another life flowing inside her, but this life force is very fragile, which is very unusual."

"You were actually able to sense it!?"

Mu Huai never expected that the soul embryo that Remilia and Flandre couldn't detect would actually be sensed by the fake doorman Hong Meiling, who only knew how to masturbate every day.

Hearing this, she sighed helplessly: "We are compatriots, after all. Why do you think I can't even sense the most basic breath?"

"There's nothing I can do. You always look like you haven't slept yet. I'm starting to think of you as a goalkeeper who's getting paid without working."

"Haha..." Hong Meiling chuckled twice, trying to salvage her crumbling pride: "Well... if it weren't for you, my compatriot, I wouldn't be so lax. I'm usually very serious about my work."

Mu Huai's deep gaze passed over her and landed straight on the wall to the left of the Scarlet Devil Mansion's entrance. After who knows how long, the wind and sun had weathered the stone wall, leaving a crooked human figure imprinted on it.

That was the indelible mark left by Izayoi Sakuya after Hong Meiling slacked off at work and was taught a lesson by throwing knives.

"Ahem, we've gone off on a tangent. Let's get back to the matter of the baby's breath. Even in the womb, a normal baby's breath shouldn't be as fragile as a candle in the wind. You'd better go find Yagokoro Eirin and have her examine the child."

"It's probably no use looking for her. This child is a soul embryo; Patchouli said it doesn't have a physical body."

“No wonder…no wonder…” Hong Meiling suddenly realized, then asked worriedly, “The body is the most crucial thing for locking in a person’s vital energy. Without a body, one cannot protect one’s own energy. What do you plan to do?”

"First, go to the underworld to find Yuyuko and see if she has any special methods regarding souls. If that doesn't work, we'll have to find a way to create a usable body for it."

"That's all we can do. If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know. The affairs of our compatriots are my affairs."

"Thanks, I'll treat you to drinks after this is all over."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

.......

In the enchanted forest, a huge dragon egg sits in front of the lawn of Alice's quaint villa, while Akane Shinjo circles around it with a large pot in her hand.

"Hmph~ If I can't make you into a core, then I'll cook you right here and eat you!"

Nan Mengya was both amused and exasperated: "Are you sure you won't get a stomachache? The wood has been sitting in the house for so long, it might already be rotten inside."

"Dragon eggs aren't chicken eggs, they shouldn't be that fragile, right? Mengya, why don't you tap the shell and listen to the sound to see if it's broken?"

"I don't have that skill. You'd better find someone else."

Shinjo Akane put down the big pot in disappointment: "If only Lala could come too, but unfortunately she's busy helping Muku make games."

"If our plan succeeds, won't it also help Wood?"

"That's right, why haven't Rikka and Alice come out yet? I can't wait any longer!!"

After saying that, the two of them turned their gazes to Alice's house, which had its door tightly shut.

The JK trio brought the dragon egg here, naturally because of the "Mechagodzilla" project that Shinjo Akane had mentioned a long time ago. During the Dream Cup competition, she specifically exchanged contact information with Alice.

The two discussed their ideas for Mechagodzilla over the phone. Alice, who was skilled at making dolls, pointed out that the biggest problem in creating the colossal creature that Akane Shinjo requested was the lack of a suitable energy core.

Even Lala can't solve this problem in the short term. To drive a mechagodzilla that is about 122 meters tall, made entirely of super alloy, and equipped with laser weapons and thrusters, the size and output rate of the energy core are a very critical issue.

Just when the plan was stalled indefinitely, a casual remark from Tokuko awakened Akane Shinjo.

"The magic contained in this dragon egg is enormous; it feels like a super bomb that has misfired."

The unhatched dragon eggs contain astonishing energy and are also the perfect size to serve as the energy core for Mechagodzilla.

After telling this idea to Minami Mumei and Takarada Rikka, the two of them also thought that this method would work. Then, the former clapped her hands as if she remembered something, went back to her room and took out a uniquely shaped jade stone.

"This is the core of the mutated monster that Mu gave me. Hmm... it's a spoil of war I got from defeating monsters in my world. Maybe it can be used in the creation of Mechagodzilla."

"That's fantastic! I feel like I'm so close to success!"

After the three girls brought these materials to Alice, she seemed to be captivated by the core of the mutated monster. She asked Rikka Takarada, who was more efficient, to come into the house to help, and told the other two to wait on the lawn.

Shinjo Akane and Minami Mumei waited outside for almost three hours. They were so bored that they started discussing which of their stockings to take off first. Just as their conversation was about to move to an even more intense stage, Alice and Takarada Rikka finally came out of the house.

"Qian, Mengya, you did it!!"

"Let me see!!" Shinjo Akane jumped three feet high on the spot, rushed to Alice in one step, and then quickly stopped, afraid of knocking over the strange liquid that looked like liquid metal in Alice's hand.

What is this?

"There's a very peculiar substance inside the mutated monster's core. Using my knowledge of puppet making, I..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!!"

"what happened?"

Alice looked puzzled. She had just invented a new method for making dolls. Shouldn't she explain her ingenious idea?

"None of the three of us have magic, so what you're saying is completely pointless. Just tell me how to use this strange liquid!"

"Okay... just pour this bottle of Monster Metal Devourer onto the dragon egg, and then add the super alloy needed to create Mechagodzilla."

Nan Mengya asked doubtfully, "Is it really that simple?"

Alice nodded firmly in response: "It's that simple!"

"Shouldn't it be like in the movies, 'thump-thud-beep-whoosh'—assembling up Mechagodzilla's body?"

"That's what makes the Metal Devourer so powerful. It can automatically build a body based on the different energy cores it devours. I've already made the control array... the kind of VR control mode you mentioned."

"Then what are we waiting for! I'll contact Lala right now and ask her to send the superalloy over!" Shinjo Akane eagerly pulled out her phone.

She could almost see Mechagodzilla standing tall on the earth.

Volume 4, "Anything Can Happen in Gensokyo": Chapter 56: Do you want to understand the meaning of life?

Upon hearing that Mechagodzilla was about to be completed, Lala temporarily put aside her game development work and rushed to Alice's house, bringing over approximately 60,000 tons of superalloy via teleportation.

When she arrived at her destination, the dragon egg had already been absorbed by the "Monster Metal Devourer," turning into a wriggling liquid ellipsoid floating about one meter above the ground.

"Alice! Akane! Rikka! Yume! I'm here!!"

"Lala, hurry up and throw the superalloy into this ball!"

"All of them?"

"all!"

"okay!"

Lala flew above the liquid sphere, took out her teleportation phone, and poured out all the super alloy. Countless pieces of metal material turned into a waterfall of steel and fell down.

The liquid sphere was like a black hole; no matter how much superalloy it absorbed, its volume did not change until all 60,000 tons of metal were poured out, at which point it began to expand at a visible rate.

The sphere eventually transformed into a 122-meter-tall metal egg, which broke through the dome woven from the towering trees of the magic forest, emerging from the colorful sea of ​​trees like a bamboo shoot breaking through the soil.

If you get close to this metal egg, you can faintly hear a weak roar, like that of a monster, coming from inside.

"Wow... This egg is so big, what will it take to hatch it?"

Alice smiled and explained to Lala, "There's no need for incubation. Just wait half a month, and the mechanical Godzilla's body will be automatically constructed. Then anyone can use the control device to break through the metal shell and come out."

"That's amazing, how did you do it?"

Rarely encountering someone interested in the specifics, Alice became intrigued and began to explain the underlying principles: "Actually, the mutated monster core provided by Dream Sprout contains a certain devouring instinct and monster matter, and it can also..."

"Hmm... I didn't know you could do that. So, does that mean that as long as I use your process, even without the core of a mutated monster, I can still make whatever I want, like a human body?"

"A human body?" Alice paused for a moment, then nodded uncertainly. "Theoretically, it should be possible, but I haven't done this kind of experiment before. You'd better not do anything reckless."

"Well, if there's nothing else here, I'll head back now."

"If there's a chance, we can schedule a time to exchange our research and development experiences."
