Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

We can't waste any more time on these small fry.

Cirno took it upon herself to separate herself from the category of miscellaneous fish.

good chance!

Even a fool can have a flash of inspiration, and Cirno keenly noticed that the three fairies of light were standing together at that moment.

"Perfect Freeze!"

Cirno shouted, and before her words had even finished, a gust of cold wind carrying ice flowers surged out, freezing the three fairies who couldn't dodge in time.

The look of astonishment still lingered on the faces of the three of them.

However, Cirno had no time to savor the afterglow of victory.

She flapped her icy wings and sped toward Reimu Hakurei, her eyes fixed on Reimu.

We are the strongest in Gensokyo!

Reimu Hakurei had no idea what Cirno was thinking. However, she was quite aware of how troublesome Cirno was.

Hearing Cirno calling her to stay from the crowd, Reimu Hakurei pulled her outstretched foot back.

If we don't defeat Cirno here, she'll come looking for us again later. She's such a troublesome person.

"Phew~ You really didn't leave."

Cirno overcame numerous obstacles and finally arrived in front of Reimu Hakurei. She was panting heavily, and sweat from her intense exercise still clung to her forehead and neck.

"Would you like to rest for a while?"

Seeing Cirno on the verge of collapse, Reimu Hakurei asked with feigned concern.

"May I?"

As soon as she said it, Cirno realized what she was doing and put her hands on her hips.

"No way! Don't try to bribe me with small favors. Today is the day we prove ourselves!"

"Hey…"

Reimu Hakurei sighed. Since Cirno doesn't want to rest, then let's begin the battle.

Taking out her exorcism wand and pointing it at Cirno, Reimu Hakurei said solemnly, "Let's fight."

As soon as he started, a series of talismans flew out from his sleeve.

Don't let this talisman touch you!

Cirno also had experience fighting Reimu Hakurei. Although she was defeated quickly, she still understood the unfathomable strength of Reimu Hakurei's Star Scale Half-Horn.

These seemingly ordinary talismans are actually powerful items. If they are hit by a large number of them, even Master Huiyin will be defeated.

The talisman flew out quickly, but Cirno was even faster, especially given that they were prepared.

Taking advantage of her petite size, Cirno nimbly dodged the first wave of spirit talisman attacks.

"My talismans will never run out."

Cirno dodged the probing attack, which didn't surprise Reimu Hakurei. After all, the only one who couldn't even dodge a probing attack was Marisa, right?

Another large number of spirit talismans were released by Reimu Hakurei, heading towards Cirno in an endless stream.

"I was defeated by an attack like that last time, but I won't be able to this time!"

"After all, a Saint Seiya won't be defeated twice by the same move!"

Cirno dodged the flying spells while uttering words that made no sense.

Next, just as Cirno had said, not a single talisman hit her.

Where did Cirno learn her movement techniques? How did she become so good at twisting and turning after not seeing her for a while?

Looking at Cirno's graceful body, Reimu Hakurei thought to herself.

The fairies who were still fighting around the shrine also noticed what was happening to Reimu Hakurei. They all stopped what they were doing and gradually became attracted to the scene, gathering in the direction of their battle—except for the three fairies who were frozen.

"Wow~"

"Cirno-chan is amazing!"

"They were able to fight that priestess for so long!"

The fairies exclaimed in admiration at the sight before them.

Meanwhile, the Great Fairy and Niqua, who had hidden nearby to avoid the chaotic battle between fairies, also emerged from the bushes to watch Cirno's graceful movements as she dodged the attacks.

Hearing the praise from everyone, Cirno was overjoyed, and her movements became a little more deliberate.

"tsk"

Reimu Hakurei was a little annoyed, after all, she was being watched by the fairies.

The fairies all look like children. Imagine being surrounded by a large group of children with expectant eyes. If you stop, even Reimu Hakurei might feel a little guilty.

Fine, let's just keep shooting like this. Anyway, Cirno seems to be enjoying it.

Reimu Hakurei tossed her hair and casually fixed the spell for launching the talisman.

Who says you have to manually launch a talisman?

Reimu Hakurei found a suitable angle and, like the other fairies, began to watch Cirno's hip sway.

However, the way she twists her waist is quite beautiful.

With a slender waist, she exudes boundless energy.

After watching the performance for a while, Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but compare Cirno's hip-twisting movements to those of people she knew.

Youmu is fine, and Reisen seems like she could do it too...

A whole bunch of names flashed through her mind, but in the end, it was an old acquaintance that Reimu Hakurei kept.

As expected, Marisa still couldn't do it...

"Hey! We're still fighting! Daydreaming is going too far!" Cirno sensed something was off.

Also, when will this talisman stop? My back is starting to ache...

Cirno, who has been temporarily forgotten by Reimu Hakurei, is still doing her amazing hip-twisting routine.

However, Cirno wasn't fighting alone; there was a whole bunch of fairies watching her.

Look, the red hearts in the great demon's eyes are almost overflowing...

Chapter Thirty-Four Collective Incidents

"I suspect the reason no one comes to worship is because the mountain path is too difficult to traverse."

Akina Sawa also stepped onto the moss-covered stone steps.

The height of these steps is problematic; they're either too high or too low, and no matter how you step on them, there's an unsettling feeling.

In particular, Akina Zeya is currently carrying a large jade pendant.

Walking on it is even more troublesome. Don't be fooled by how fluffy this big jade looks; it's actually full of heavy flesh inside.

However, Akina Sawa has no intention of abandoning it.

Akina Sawa originally intended to let the hairy creature go, but in the end he went back and caught it again.

After all, good ingredients shouldn't be wasted.

Although Maoyu looks adorable, I'm sorry, my stomach needs your sacrifice.

Silently and emotionlessly praying for Mao Yu for 1 second.

Akina Sawa happily continued climbing the mountain path with the defeated Mao Yu.

After walking for a while, Akina Ze also felt that his temples were covered with a lot of sweat, which was sticky and uncomfortable.

But I didn't bring any tissues or handkerchiefs.

Um... I can't say there's absolutely none...

Akina Sawa also turned his gaze to the large, white-haired creature...

"Ah, that feels so good~"

After dealing with the situation, Akina Ze continued on his way.

However, one spot on the jade he was carrying seemed to have turned yellowish...

"I wonder what Cirno and her group of fairies are up to."

Akina Ze walked along, feeling refreshed, occasionally kneading the futon in his hand. The futon felt really good to the touch, and the hair was very absorbent. If there were any woven items made from futon hair, he would definitely buy one for himself.

"Hopefully she won't cause any more trouble."

From afar, Akina Sawa finally saw the facade of the Hakurei Shrine—the vermilion torii gate.

Although few people visit, the torii gate has always stood quietly here, untouched by wind, rain, or the passage of time.

But today, Akina Sawa also seems to have noticed that the torii gate has changed.

Is there something hanging up there?

Thanks to his excellent eyesight, Akina Sawa could also see what looked like a white figure floating beneath the torii gate plaque.

Swaying gently in the wind, it looks just like a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll shaped like a sunny day) hanging under the eaves.

"Could it be a ghost?"

Even though the sun was shining brightly, Akina Sawa still couldn't help but think of ghosts and monsters.

The red torii gate and the hanging human figures are enough to send chills down your spine just by thinking about them.

But since we've already come this far, it wouldn't be right to back down now.

Holding the dung bead up to shield his face, Akina Sawa slowly moved towards the torii gate.

The appearance of the "Sunny Doll" became clearer as they got closer.

Finally, Akina Sawa reached the torii gate and slowly removed the hair ornament.

At close range, the "Sunny Doll" gradually revealed its true form.

Akina Zeya's pupils contracted sharply.

This thing hanging there isn't a teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu doll), but rather—a fairy!

She was a little fairy wearing a pure white dress.

Her sash got caught on the eaves of the torii gate.

It hangs in mid-air and sways with the breeze.

"What?! I thought it was a ghost!"

Seeing that it wasn't a terrifying or eerie ghost, Akina Sawa breathed a sigh of relief and scratched the messy hair at the back of his head.

Although the fairy was hanging up there, he didn't plan to climb up the torii gate to bring the fairy down.

Fairies are born geniuses at playing pranks. If you try to climb up to save her, she might fly down and stand on the ground laughing when you're only halfway up.

So, after taking one look, Akina Sawa chose to ignore the presence of the fairy above the torii gate and went inside...

As soon as I stepped into the torii gate.

豱辱辱辘~

A small gourd rolled around and came to a stop at Akina Zeya's feet.

Akina Sawa also bent down in confusion, picked up the gourd at his feet, and waited for him to stand up.

"???"

"What's happening here?"

Akina Ze also stared at the scene before him in shock.

On the open ground in front of the shrine, many fairies lay sprawled about, motionless as if they were dead.

Thinking of the fairy hanging on the torii gate earlier, a bad feeling immediately arose in my heart.

"Oh no, could something really have happened?!"
