The Great Hero's Fantasy Park Plan

“Uh, it’s alright,” Yang Xiying shook her head in response to Alice’s earnest apology.

“Miss Alice, the fact that you shared your newfound magical knowledge shows that you are a trustworthy friend.”

"Furthermore, I also know about the Scarlet Devil Mansion's history, and she is also a friend of Lady Remilia, who helped me."

"So don't worry too much about it, and it's helpful for the study of the notes. Besides, Miss Alice, you're not using it for anything bad."

"And it's not like I haven't received anything in return from you," at least he's now begun to learn magic.

"Really... Thank you for your understanding," Alice breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yang Xiying's words. This gentleman was indeed easy to talk to.

Alice's affection for you has increased by 5 points.

"Also, just call me Alice as before. After all, you have given me your trust, and adding a suffix would make it sound a bit distant."

“Although this is my fault… I will try to call you Yang or Xiying from now on,” Alice continued.

Since the other party was being so generous, there was no need for me to act awkwardly, since they started adding "Miss" after I called them "Mr. Yang" earlier.

"Oh...oh," Yang Xiying nodded after a moment of surprise. He had subconsciously changed his address because the other person had called him "sir."

—I thought they wanted to keep their distance...

"In short, since she also knows about your magic notes, it's no problem for you to get guidance from her."

"Oh, I'll look forward to it then."

The two chatted as they made their way to the basement of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, where the sorcerer lived.

"Patchouli, I've come to visit."

"It's Alice. I must say, as a magician, you are much more polite than that black and white mouse."

Upon entering the basement and pushing open its door, one is greeted by a vast array of bookshelves; it's practically a library.

There was a reading area in this place, and the two people were sitting and standing in front of a table piled high with books.

Standing there was a girl with long, wine-red hair, wearing a white inner shirt, a red bow tie, and a black gothic skirt.

It has black bat wings on its back. There are also a pair of smaller bat wing-like structures on both sides of its head, giving it a demonic feel.

However, she is indeed a demon. In Yang Xiying's memory, her name was Little Devil, and she was Patchouli's servant.

Patchouli, of course, is the woman sitting at the desk, wearing a purple and pink dress that resembles a nightgown.

She wore a round, soft hat with a ruffled edge and a crescent-shaped ornament, and had long, smooth purple hair.

She was the one who was talking to the newcomer, who was Alice. If Yang Xiying had spoken, the other party probably wouldn't have paid any attention to her.

Or she would pause for a moment before speaking, and Patchouli only noticed Yang Xiying standing next to her after talking to Alice.

"Oh? So now you're finally starting to use followers other than dolls? Hmm... they do look quite energetic."

“Mr. Yang is not my follower. He is the one who gave me that magician’s notebook, and recently there have been rumors about him in Gensokyo.”

Alice shook her head and explained.

"Oh? Yang Xiying, who wooed many women in Gensokyo? It's quite unbelievable that a warrior could unleash the power of a mage."

Upon hearing Alice's words, Patchouli immediately understood what was going on. After all, it wasn't just Alice who had mentioned it; everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion had as well.

He's a very peculiar human, and Patchouli is quite interested in him, especially since he made such an amazing declaration on the very day he arrived in Gensokyo.

Later, he heard from people around him that this person was connected to the mutation of the Heavenly Books, and that those Heavenly Books were items that he himself needed to collect.

In addition, it possesses unique powers, not only enabling it to quickly comprehend the Heavenly Book, but also allowing it to suddenly unleash wondrous power.

—They even have magic.

Finally, according to those around him, he was a cheerful and generous person who shared his magic notebook with Alice without any ulterior motives.

—They seem easy to get along with.

"Anyway... cough, good afternoon. I am Patchouli Knowledge, just call me Patchouli, the owner of this [Great Library]."

Patchouli stood up to introduce herself, but couldn't help coughing along the way—she has chronic asthma.

"Hello, Patchouli, my name is Yang Xiying. I recently settled in Gensokyo and am currently training to become stronger."

"Also, you don't need to stand up," Yang Xiying naturally responded to the self-introduction of the person opposite her.

"For various reasons, I know a little about your condition," he said. Even without coughing, he could sense the weakness in the person on the other end!

"Really? Then I'll sit down first."

Upon hearing Yang Xiying's words, Patchouli recalled that Yang Xiying had mentioned her name before, so it was normal for her to know the situation.

So she didn't resist.

"—Please find a chair and sit down."

And so, Alice led Yang Xiying to sit down near Patchouli, and then the owner of the library took the lead in starting to talk.

"Yang Xiying said that you cultivate in order to become stronger, so will magic also be a part of your cultivation?"

After seeing Alice bring Yang Xiying and give a basic introduction, Patchouli could guess what her purpose was.

After all, Alice had shared that magician's notebook with her before, and at that time she also learned that someone wanted to learn magic.

"Yes, I want to learn magic. Alice thinks I can learn elemental magic first, so she brought me here to ask Patchouli for advice."

"I see..." Patchouli seemed thoughtful after hearing Yang Xiying's words and seeing Alice nod.

"I'm happy to offer guidance, as a return gift for knowing about your notes. However, I'd like to make a new deal with you."

PS: Second update!

Is the older brother NO.70+71 trying to challenge me?

"A new deal?" Yang Xiying was taken aback.

"Yes, as a mage, I am very interested in studying magic, so I also want to see new magic."

Patchouli responded calmly.

"And I've heard that you, Yang Xiying, have the power to travel to other worlds, and you must have many opportunities to come into contact with magic from other worlds."

"So I would like to ask you to share your experiences with me. In return, I can teach you magic other than elemental magic if you wish."

“I see… I understand now, this is a very fair deal,” Yang Xiying nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll share with you when I encounter magic in other worlds in the future," he originally wanted to invite Patchouli to explore other worlds.

But the other person is sick, so saying these things now contradicts what I said before, since I know the other person is weak and I still told him to go on a long trip...

Let's get to know each other better first.

"Furthermore, I myself hope to ask some learned and talented individuals to help research some products from another world."

Then he changed the subject, saying that one can always find some amazing tools in other worlds, but one's understanding of them is always limited.

So we need help.

“Then our deal is done,” Patchouli said with a gentle smile.

"In addition, you can borrow the books in this large library, since you need them to guide your learning of magic."

"—And there are also some celestial books stored here."

"A celestial book? There really is the aura of a celestial book here," Yang Xiying was taken aback when she heard Patchouli say this.

However, he could indeed sense the aura of the Heavenly Book.

"However, the celestial books stored here are not of the type for practicing martial arts. You should have seen this kind of book if you have lived in Gensokyo for a while."

Patchouli then changed the subject, which made Yang Xiying even more concerned. Patchouli then gave orders to the servants standing beside her.

"Little devil, go and get a few books for Yang Xiying to look at."

"Yes, Lady Patchouli."

The wine-red-haired demon walked to one side, but soon returned, carrying several books in his hand.

"Mr. Yang, this is the Heavenly Book that we keep here."

"These are..." Yang Xiying was stunned when she saw the titles of these books, because these were blueprints for the manufacture of some powerful items...

"As the title suggests, these are the secrets to manufacturing various weapons, armor, and mechanical parts."

"Yang Xiying, you should have seen weapon or farm tool manufacturing blueprints under the statue of the God of War, and they are also classified as a kind of celestial book."

"That's right. The Heavenly Book isn't just about learning martial arts; it also contains methods for forging various objects."

Yang Xiying nodded; he had thought of this when he saw the blueprints for the weapons and farm tools.

There might be even more powerful blueprints, such as gunpowder, firearms, cannons, and engines, but he hadn't seen them much in Gensokyo.

All he had were the most basic tools like knives, spears, clubs, axes, hooks, forks, and farm implements. However, Yukari Yakumo later revealed the reasons to him.

Although she has now used the guise of Lord War God to make the humans and youkai of Gensokyo start to face each other.

But as mentioned, this is just the beginning; the relationship between the two is not yet very strong and can easily be broken by certain things.

If manufacturing methods for things like firearms, cannons, and engines were widely disseminated, it would easily lead the people of Gensokyo down the path of scientific development.

Over time, the existence of monsters, gods, and fairies, which still carried a bit of mystery, ceased to be mysterious.

Therefore, the manufacturing methods of firearms and other props were subject to even stricter regulations than martial arts manuals.

After all, if people are just practicing martial arts, they will still believe in some gods and monsters, but science denies these mysterious existences.

Just like an echo, the ancients, lacking knowledge of this phenomenon, thought it was a mountain monster. But with the development of science, they understood the concept of an echo.

The species Yamahiko will naturally become extinct, even though there is such a thing as natural selection and survival of the fittest.

Moreover, some diseases arose because ancient people regarded illnesses and other bad phenomena as the work of demons, and it's not a pity that these demons died.

However, the development of science will inevitably weaken some harmless monsters and gods, thus monopolizing the manufacture of high-end products.

These blueprint techniques will not be widely disseminated until the relationship between humans and non-human beings in Gensokyo is completely stabilized.

Alternatively, it could be prioritized for research and development by non-human beings, which might even make humans respect and rely on them more.

Of course, Yang Xiying can still get these Heavenly Books back if she wants them, which is what Yakumo Yukari said before, that she needs to personally come forward to get them.

Then, she also discovered that she could enhance the power of Gensokyo and its non-human inhabitants by collecting faith power.

It's not impossible for humanity to make further progress in science, as long as Yang Xiying, who has a close relationship with the God of War, can act as a guide.

For this reason, Yang Xiying also obtained some high-end item manufacturing technology from Yakumo Yukari, but she still had to go to various places in Gensokyo to get the others.

"I only heard from the Sage that these things are subject to strict regulations, I didn't expect to see them here."

I didn't expect to find it at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

"After all, the curator of the Scarlet Devil Mansion also has dealings with the sages of Gensokyo, and... cough, my library can hold a lot of books."

Patchouli responded directly that her large library was perfect for storing books, so many dangerous esoteric texts were kept there.

However, recently a black and white mouse has been visiting her library and stealing books, which is giving her a headache. Fortunately, the mouse on the other side only reads books related to magic.

“That’s true. Patchouli, you’re quite amazing to have collected so many books,” Yang Xiying exclaimed.

"You flatter me. Anyway, you can take these books if you want to use them. Just tell Remy."

Patchouli said this.

"Then let's begin our magical training. Let me see your level of mastery over elemental magic."

And so, Yang Xiying began her training under Patchouli's guidance, with Alice providing assistance along the way.

He truly is a genius.

While Yang Xiying was studying, Patchouli and Alice used magic to establish a private channel so as not to disturb her.

They were whispering among themselves.

Patchouli could only sigh that Yang Xiying was now a beginner mage, but Alice said it only took her a morning to learn.

Now, watching him demonstrate elemental magic, Patchouli felt he was very talented, and even more talented...
