The Great Hero's Fantasy Park Plan

"—After all, I'm not the type to die with you."

“I’ll be careful about that,” Yang Xiying replied directly, then changed the subject, “But Sister Zi, did you come here just to tease me?”

“After all, I’m quite free,” Yukari Yakumo replied with a smile. “Anyway, the jokes are over, so I’ll head back now.”

"—Aren't you going to have some food before you leave?"

"Hey, I'm just a decent, innocent woman visiting a man's house where his instincts are starting to awaken. I wouldn't dare let anything happen," Yakumo Yukari said with a wicked grin.

"Besides, Brother Yang has made an appointment to spar with a certain female warrior, so it's not convenient for me to disturb him."

"..." As she spoke, Yakumo Yukari disappeared into the gap, and Yang Xiying then remembered that she had an appointment with Mingluo.

—In that case, it would indeed be inappropriate to have Yakumo Yukari as a guest.

In short, I should familiarize myself with the new home environment a bit more, and then tell Reimu and the others that I have moved.

……

"Yang, it's surprising that you've moved into a new house so quickly, and it's so close to mine, so we're neighbors now."

"Yes."

"Besides, your house is designed with martial arts in mind, and it even has a training ground. So, without further ado, how about we practice?"

"Then please enlighten me, Miss Mingluo."

That evening, Mingluo met with Yang Xiying as promised and learned that the people across the street had moved to live next door to her.

This surprised her, as it made it easier to spar with her and exchange martial arts skills. However, she also discovered that Yang Xiying had already taken a big step ahead of her.

This piqued her curiosity, but it also fueled her fighting spirit, because there was someone in the human world who shared her passion for martial arts.

Mingluo's favorability towards you has increased by 20, now reaching 60.

Another person has been invited to join the team...

Seeing that Mingluo's favorability had increased, Yang Xiying seemed thoughtful, but he was still hesitant about whether to let the other side team up.

After all, his main task was to collect the Heavenly Book, which would expose the matter of the Martial God. Sure enough, he had to reveal his identity as the inheritor of the Martial God.

Although he accepted this identity to reside in the Human Village, it could be kept secret, and he needed a catalyst to gain public approval.

—For example, how to handle mutations?

……

Mutations are not so easy to encounter. Yang Xiying enjoyed her daily life in the Human Village for another day or two. Recently, a festival has been held here.

So you can experience something different from usual.

"Have you heard? That puppeteer is here again to perform her puppet show."

"Really? So she always comes here during festivals."

While strolling down the street, Yang Xiying overheard this conversation, which caught his attention, since he could only think of one person: the puppeteer.

Furthermore, because of the recent festival held in the Human Village, the Hakurei Shrine did not hold any banquets, and I haven't had many opportunities to meet with the girls of Gensokyo.

This morning, I chatted with regular visitors like Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, Ran Yakumo, Youmu Konpaku, and Sakuya Izayoi.

The others are less common, Alice being one of them, so when Yang Xiying heard that the puppeteer was performing here, she had to go and see.

After wandering around, we arrived at a stage that had been set up. It was quite lively there, and most of the people there were girls.

After all, the dolls made by doll makers are very cute, and the fact that they can move like people is quite amazing.

It seemed as if they possessed life, but Yang Xiying knew this was the result of using magic, because the person who made these puppets had said that they would not endow their creations with life and the ability to think.

This is quite similar to the old man Willie who wouldn't give robots the ability to think for themselves, but the person who made the dolls wasn't a decrepit old man, but a top-notch beautiful girl.

Therefore, even in this rather girly place, there are men, all hoping to catch a glimpse of the beautiful puppeteer.

Because it was a puppet show, the puppeteer used magic to conceal her form, but Yang Xiying could still see her.

They took in the sight of the puppeteer using his nimble fingers to manipulate the threads and the puppeteer involuntarily dancing along with the puppeteer's performance.

—But then she stopped, because she had noticed Yang Xiying in the crowd.

"...It's been a few days. How have you been, Mr. Yang?"

After the puppet show ended, the puppeteer, who tried to keep a low profile, came to Yang Xiying's side.

It was Alice Margot Lloyd, but the other party was still not used to using abbreviations, but Yang Xiying didn't care.

“I’m having a very fulfilling day. Thank you for your concern, Alice. I also just saw a wonderful puppet show.”

He responded directly.

"Compared to the puppet shows we saw in battles before, the puppet shows used to tell stories have a unique flavor."

"Really? That would be wonderful if you liked it," Alice said, feeling a little more relaxed.

"By the way, do you have a moment now? I'd like to talk to you about magic."

NO.64 Go to Miss Alice's house to learn magic!

The Forest of Magic is the most humid primeval forest in Gensokyo, rarely visited by anyone, and has a rather harsh environment.

It is home to a large number of strange plants, such as mushrooms, that can induce hallucinations. Just getting close to these things feels like being under a spell.

This is also the origin of the name "Forest of Magic." In addition, the plants and other things that grow here help magicians increase their magic power.

Therefore, magicians also live here, such as Alice Margot Lloyd, so Yang Xiying has to go deeper into this forest to find her.

Yes, early that morning, Yang Xiying set off from the Village of the Human World and headed south to the Forest of Magic to visit Alice.

This is something I arranged with her last night...

“Mr. Yang, I have already deciphered some of the magic notes you gave me last time,” Alice said to Yang Xiying at that time.

"Oh, congratulations!" It's a good thing that Alice was able to comprehend the knowledge she had previously borrowed from Magic Red.

"Thank you, but I know it's your generosity, so I'll reciprocate. I also found a few mysterious books at home last time."

"—Now it's up to you."

Yang Xiying won the awards for "Dark Dance", "Free and Easy Finger", "Gunpowder Making", "Rain of Pear Blossoms", and "Six Essentials of Military Peak".

"Also, if you're interested in learning magic, as I mentioned last time, you can come find me."

"Okay, may I visit your home tomorrow?"

"Of course, no problem. But my address is a bit remote, although people going to that forest can usually find it... Hmm, how about I pick you up tomorrow?"

"That would be too much trouble for Miss Alice. Don't worry, I can find my way. After all, I now have the means to fly."

Because she wanted to learn magic, Yang Xiying was going to visit Alice and study the magic she had recorded last time. She thought that she might actually become a master like Magic Red in the future.

Finally, summoning the robot was really cool.

So Yang Xiying arrived at the Magic Forest, but he did not get lost or get affected by the strange plants there.

Because he now also has the ability to fly, after all, he has made some progress in lightness skills, plus the support of various secret manuals.

This allows him to generate strong air resistance by stepping on the air, enabling him to walk in the air as if climbing stairs.

This doesn't allow him to stay in the air for very long, but it's enough to give him the ability to engage in aerial combat and then see further from the air.

So Yang Xiying quickly spotted a white villa in the vast forest, which was Alice's residence.

"Is Miss Alice here? The martial artist Yang Xiying has come to visit," Yang Xiying called out as she descended from the sky into the courtyard.

As soon as Yang Xiying finished speaking, the iron gate outside the courtyard opened automatically, and at the same time, the main gate of the mansion was gently pushed open.

“Welcome, Mr. Yang. Please come in and talk. The door will close by itself,” Alice said calmly as she looked at Yang Xiying.

“Okay,” Yang Xiying said and walked straight toward the gate, glancing around as she went. It seemed like there were some kind of traps or mechanisms set up around the area.

—That's true, one has to be careful when living here alone.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" After entering, Yang Xiying noticed the rather luxurious decor, and Alice asked at that moment.

Because she felt that Yang Xiying had arrived quite early, and she herself hadn't had breakfast yet, she wanted to get something to eat together.

"I've already eaten, but I also brought some homemade pastries for Miss Alice. I hope you like them."

Yang Xiying responded directly, and at the same time took out a food box from her spatial backpack. Alice was stunned when she saw this, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Mr. Yang, you're too kind. I'll make you a cup of black tea."

She accepted the food box directly, as she had been treated to meals frequently during this period and was almost used to having food delivered to her from across the street.

Although it's a little embarrassing, there's no reason to refuse their kindness now, so I can just try harder to reciprocate later.

Afterwards, Yang Xiying watched the person opposite him enjoy breakfast while sipping the black tea brewed by Alice. He was satisfied after receiving their approval.

“Ahem… Since Mr. Yang has come to visit me today, it means that you have decided to learn magic, right?”

After eating and drinking her fill, Alice got down to business and asked the person opposite her what they had agreed upon the day before.

“Yes, I want to learn magic,” Yang Xiying nodded in response, and said without beating around the bush, “I would appreciate Miss Alice’s guidance.”

"May I ask Mr. Yang a question first? In your opinion, what is magic?" Alice replied.

"Yes, I mean the difference between martial arts and..."

"Compared to martial arts, magic is more magical. Martial arts mainly focus on strengthening the body, while magic is more like showcasing exquisite and magical skills."

Yang Xiying responded to the other side like this.

"It's like telekinesis, passing through walls, becoming invisible, changing the weather, riding the clouds, and transforming. To me, it's like magic."

"However, I've always believed that it's always good to have more skills, so I need to learn both immortal techniques and magic."

Only in this way can it be called sound.

“Is that so… I understand,” Alice nodded upon hearing Yang Xiying’s words, and then spoke.

"Magic is indeed a wonderful skill because it is the closest technology to bringing to life what you imagine in your mind."

"The source of power is fundamentally a person's heart and spirit, just as Mr. Yang recorded in the magician's notes."

"Magic is proof of courage; as long as one has a strong enough spirit, one can unleash incredible power."

"However, you might not understand what I'm saying, but Mr. Yang does indeed have the aptitude to learn magic."

"—After all, you've already honed your martial arts skills to this level."

"Does magic have anything to do with martial arts?" Yang Xiying couldn't help but ask, though he did recall martial artists who used magic.

"Martial arts and magic are both things that use energy to achieve their goals. Mr. Yang's martial arts also include the ability to release barrages, right?"

"Yes, this is something that can be done after one has cultivated internal energy to a certain level."

As she spoke, Yang Xiying raised her hand, and a ball of energy gathered in her palm, which was a light bullet condensed from her inner force.

"At the same time, it can also be given attributes according to its own control," Yang Xiying said, circulating her true energy and causing the energy ball to generate some electric arcs.

—He's getting more and more skilled at manipulating lightning these days.

"In the realm of magic, this already falls under the category of dark magic, and is even more powerful than basic dark magic."

Alice said this, while also believing that Yang Xiying could condense more than just an apple-sized energy blast.

"Magic is divided into two types: black magic and white magic. White magic is mainly used to heal injuries and add various positive status effects to oneself."

"Black magic is magic primarily used for destruction and attack; manipulating fire, summoning lightning, and condensing ice crystals are all examples of black magic."

"Mr. Yang's current use of electrified bullets already shows signs of dark magic, so you can try learning elemental magic first."
