Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

But if at this moment a large, white-browed serpent with piercing eyes strolls by, swaying its head the size of a millstone, you'll realize that wolves are nothing special, even though they can kill you.

That's human nature; fear has a priority.

The Yin-Yang Jade, the size of a star, steadily advanced towards the Savior Witch, like a collision of Mars and Earth, blotting out the sky.

Reimu Hakurei stood silently in the air, holding a long exorcism staff in her right hand, looking indifferently at the savior witch before her.

From the moment it began to wreak havoc on humanity, it was already sentenced to death, and a dying monster is not worth paying too much attention to.

"Sha~"

Such an attack was absolutely unstoppable. The Savior Witch trembled in a human-like manner, and used the tentacle crown on her head to draw a huge gap in the air, trying to squeeze through and escape the attack.

"Why not just choose to obediently wait for death?"

"You monster, don't cause trouble for others!"

Reimu Hakurei clicked her tongue and pointed her exorcism wand at the enormous body of the Savior Witch.

"Eight Directions Ghost Binding Formation!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a pillar of light descended from the sky, completely enveloping the Savior Witch.

Runes composed entirely of spiritual energy appeared on the surface of the pillar of light.

These talismans, combined with the beam of light, can trap anything—whether it be a person, a ghost, or something else—without allowing it to move an inch.

Even the savior witch who was born of despair is no exception.

All the tentacles were firmly bound by chains that were materialized from the talismans, and the relatively small upper body of the savior witch was also bound like a mummy.

But Reimu still didn't intend to stop. Since trouble was unavoidable, she might as well get rid of it once and for all.

Immediately, a beam of light shot towards the Savior Witch.

"Dream Seal"

"Now everything should be foolproof, right?"

Reimu Hakurei stretched lazily.

She was just sleeping soundly in the shrine, living an energy-saving life, when a dazzling flash of light mercilessly shattered her dream and dragged her back to reality.

Startled awake, Reimu Hakurei angrily pushed open the thin paper window and saw the Savior Witch standing out like a crane among chickens in the low-rise buildings of the Human Village.

The lingering sleepiness was instantly dispelled.

This monster, emanating a dark aura that blocks out the sunlight, is clearly not a good person.

Reimu Hakurei glanced at the clothes she had hung out to dry because of the good weather, then immediately picked up the exorcism wand she had been using as a stepping stone, intending to have an early morning workout.

Eating and sleeping are daily routines, as is exorcising monsters.

"Reimu!"

Marisa flew over to Reimu's side on her broomstick, her cheeks puffed out as if she were a little unhappy.

"What's wrong, Marisa?"

"You came way too fast this time! You're always the last one to come and clean up!"

What kind of description is this, like a police officer who arrives late in a movie after everything's already over...?

"...You seem to have some misunderstanding about me...Marisa"

"There's no misunderstanding!" Marisa circled Reimu, trying to see if there were any changes on her, but after circling several times, she found nothing amiss. Finally, with Reimu's helpless expression, she added "DA☆ZE!" before ending the examination.

"Marisa, I am a shrine maiden... Do you know what a shrine maiden's duties are?"

Looking at Marisa who kept circling around her, Reimu Hakurei shrugged helplessly, as if coaxing a child.

From the moment I met Marisa, she's always been like this—energetic...and a bit eccentric. "Eccentric" doesn't sound quite right; perhaps "overly energetic" is a better word?

"Of course I know, it's just that this opportunity is so rare..."

Marisa sighed, stopped what she was doing, and quietly stayed beside Reimu, as if she had completely lost her composure.

"This is an anomaly, we'd better not take this opportunity..."

Reimu Hakurei, who has always been an energy-saving champion, does not agree with Marisa's ideas. This is not because of her identity as a shrine maiden, but because she finds it too troublesome to deal with the anomalies.

If she could eliminate all anomalies with a single click, Reimu wouldn't have any other thoughts, no matter how many anomalies occurred.

However, there was no such button at the moment, and she had to personally intervene to deal with the incident. Therefore, Reimu Hakurei sincerely hoped that the incident would not happen again, because dealing with it was really troublesome.

The savior witch in the Eight Directions Demon Binding Array was still struggling, but few people paid attention to her anymore. Reimu Hakurei had arrived, and with the arrival of the invincible being, this show was coming to an end.

The gap in the corner slowly closed, and pedestrians on the street began to discuss whether they could find the items that had just been lost in the chaos.

Sanae also instructed Kawashiro Nitori to drive the crane and take the power-depleted Himoutoten away from the scene.

As for Fujiwara no Mokou, she had already been taken away by Kamishirasawa Keine.

Everything is over; all that's left is to draw conclusions.

Hieda Akyuu closed the book in his hand, nodded to Akina Sawaya, and prepared to leave.

No, it seems there's still one thing that hasn't been resolved.

"Hey!"

Akina Ze also stood on a small hill made of bricks and stones, cupping his hands into a megaphone shape as he shouted to the imprisoned Savior Witch:

"What did you do to the fairies? Where are they?"

No response.

The savior witch did not respond, she just kept struggling.

Fairies are not valued; even Master Kei-on only takes care of fairies who are her students.

After all, fairies are like leaves on a tree; from bud to fall, it's just a natural phenomenon, something we take for granted.

But Nikua is different; she was a leaf that Akina Sawa also picked from the tree full of leaves.

Although she was quite ordinary and unremarkable, Nikua was special to him.

You are the fairy I found in the well, and I will not allow you to just disappear like this!

"Hey! Where did you hide all the fairies?!"

Akina Ze also picked up a brick from the ground and threw it at the Savior Witch with all his might.

No response.

The tiny bricks didn't even touch the Savior Witch before she was blocked outside by the Eight Directions Ghost Binding Array.

The Yin-Yang Jade also arrived on the head of the Savior Witch.

There was no physical collision; it was like ice melting, dissolving all the way from where the Savior Witch touched the Yin-Yang Jade.

The savior witch cried out like an animal waiting to be slaughtered, but there were no animal protection organizations here, and no one would show her any sympathy.

Things wouldn't have gotten this far if it hadn't tried to break the barrier.

"The missing fairies have been found!"

Heading straight to the scene of the incident, Aya Shameimaru did not immediately take pictures of the scene, but instead went to Sawaya Akina.

"Have you found Niqua!?"

Akina Sawa also turned around and grabbed Shameimaru Aya's shoulders tightly, his concern evident in his eyes.

"They're all there, just a little weak because too much energy has been extracted."

Aya Shameimaru didn't mind Sawaya Akina's rudeness and instead gently comforted him.

"It's good that you're alright~" Akina Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart finally eased.

"Shall I take you to see it now?"

"No need, it's good to know she's alright." Qiu Mingze also turned to look at the Savior Witch, who was now missing half her body. "Right now, I just want to give it a good shot."

"Look, this is how I feel right now." With his eyes closed, Akina Ze took a long, deep breath, spread his legs to form a standard stool, and slowly moved his arms and palms together to his waist, facing the witch, speaking each word clearly.

“KA-ME-HA-ME---HA!”

A blue beam of light shot out from Akina Sawaya's hand and headed toward the Savior Witch.

"Hmm?" Reimu was a little surprised, then shook her head and waved her exorcism wand.

The Eight Directions Ghost Binding Formation has developed a loophole that allows the blue energy blast to penetrate.

The savior witch inside seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope and frantically stretched out her tentacles toward the hole.

Just as the tentacles reached the entrance of the hole and were about to emerge, the blue light bullet crashed in, turning the large mass of tentacles that was trying to extend out into ashes.

bang~

The Yin-Yang Jade has reached the ground...

Chapter 85 The Special Ingredients in Bai Le Tang

The last day of summer is the day when the summer festival is held in the village of humans.

There are many activities that are unforgettable.

The most eye-catching of these activities is the Bai Le Tang (Hundred Joy Soup), which is made by each member of the group contributing a portion of ingredients to cook together.

The quality of the soup depends entirely on the quality of the ingredients that everyone brings.

Although there were monsters causing trouble today, they have already been subdued by the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, so the damage they caused to the people is not very serious.

Therefore, the festival will continue, and the festive atmosphere will not be disrupted by any minor disturbance.

"So, are you sure you don't want to participate in the ceremony at the Hundred Baths?" Aya Shameimaru walked closely behind, her hands behind her back, the camera with the word JANI engraved on it hanging naturally on her white short-sleeved shirt, occasionally lightly bumping against the black bow that adorned her chest.

"I'm not going," Akina Ze shook his head. "Now that I know Nikua is at home, how can I possibly be happy..."

"Oh," Aya Shameimaru replied casually, glancing at the shops on both sides decorated with a festive atmosphere, and asked inadvertently, "Where are the two little girls you brought today?"

Ah... Akina Sawa slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "How could I have forgotten about those two..."

Although the riots have been quelled, there are still lingering effects.

The change in foot traffic was so drastic that Akina Ze admitted he couldn't find the two of them quickly and bring them back.

However, there are solutions.

With Tengu's eyesight, finding someone in a vast sea of ​​people wouldn't be difficult.

"Miss Wenwen, could you help me look for it?"

Akina Sawa also shamelessly said

"Hmph!" Aya Shameimaru frowned, her arms crossed at her waist. "I'm not the kind of person who specifically helps you find things."

“Yes, yes,” Akina Ze said sullenly.

It's understandable that I was rejected, after all, I've already troubled her too much.

"However, if you can fulfill my request, then it's not impossible~"

Aya Shameimaru picked up the camera from her chest and gave Akina Sawa a sly smile.

Although this tengu reporter always has some outlandish ideas, they're not too far off the mark. At least she has a sense of propriety, and she even helped me find Niqua. I'm more than grateful. What's a little request?

"It's just about fulfilling her request, that's easy," Akina Ze nodded.

"Akina-kun, I hope you can answer my questions truthfully during the interview later."

Upon seeing Akina Sawa nod, Aya Shameimaru pulled out a notebook from somewhere, holding a pen in her right hand as if she were writing something down.

"Absolutely. Whatever you ask me, I will answer. I will never tell a lie."

“Very well, then I’ll ask the first question first.” Aya Shameimaru uncapped the pen with one hand, skillfully turned the pen tip to point to the first line of the notebook, ready to write at any moment.

What were those things you just fired from both hands?

The first question hit the nail on the head; no wonder you're a reporter, your sense of smell is really sharp.

Akina Sawa nodded and said truthfully:

"This is a ki blast, formed by gathering the qi within the body and then projecting it out using a special technique. I've heard that skilled individuals can use it to blow up the moon, but I'm just a beginner, and my talent isn't great either. I'll probably only be able to loosen the soil in my own field by the time I've mastered it."

"The second question"
