Paradise Project from Gensokyo

"Slow down, don't choke."

"Marisa, don't be picky about food. Eat your vegetables too."

"Go away, don't take what's in my bowl if you can't grab it from others."

"Zi, why are you still fighting with the child?"

For a moment, Lin Yan took care of these troublesome things like an old nanny.

After calming down a little, Yakumo Yukari silently filled a large bowl of food and stuffed it into the gap.

"Are you packing this for a midnight snack?"

"We just want our shikigami to have a taste of it. After all, it's pitiful to leave her alone in an empty room."

"If she's satisfied with this meal, maybe she'll be able to be Mr. Lin's wife~"

Yakumo Yukari explained with a smile, after all, she and Orange were full and couldn't forget Lan.

Lin Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly ran back to the kitchen and brought out a plate of fried tofu and mixed cold noodles.

The corner of Yakumo Yukari's eye twitched, and her expression became a little subtle.

"Boss, why are you hiding the food so secretly?"

"Look at how crazy you guys are eating. If I hadn't snatched it all away, I could have had some midnight snack."

Lin Yan glared at her unhappily, but still handed the dish over.

"Here, send these two dishes to her. If they're not enough, I can cook some more."

"Oh, that's so thoughtful. I'm a little envious."

Yakumo Yukari teased, but still took the dish and put it into the gap.

On the other side, Lan, who had already tied on an apron and was ready to cook, was looking for Cheng all over the room.

"orange------"

"Orange, where have you been?"

"It's time to eat, stop running around."

"orange!!!"

Lan called out for a long time, but there was no response from inside or outside the room, as if she had disappeared from the world with Yakumo Yukari.

An unprecedented feeling of loneliness and desolation surged in Lan's heart. He sat in the living room with a sad face, his fox ears and big tail drooping down involuntarily.

It’s okay that Lord Zi disappeared, but how come Orange ran away too?

But before Lan could feel sad for long, a familiar gap suddenly opened up in front of her.

As several dishes were placed in front of her one after another, Lan was stunned.

Which restaurant's kitchen did Master Zi touch?

"Master Purple, where's Orange?"

Lan asked towards the gap, but still no response. Instead, another photo of Lin Yan was handed over.

She looked at the familiar face with a confused look on her face. Before she could ask a few more questions, the gap had closed again.

Does Lord Zi really have a partner?

What about Cheng? Was she also taken there as a stepdaughter?

What about me? It's only been a few days, and there's no place for me in the house?!

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lan's pupils began to tremble wildly.

Yakumo Yukari, who was completely unaware of Lan's little thoughts, was happily eating from her bowl of rice.

After finishing three full bowls of rice, she finally collapsed contentedly in the rocking chair, looking as if she had no regrets in life.

As she lay paralyzed, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the apple on the table.

When she wanted to pick it up and take a bite, a peanut hit her forehead with incredible precision.

"Keep your claws away, this is mine."

"Hey~ I want to eat some fruit, so I can just cut a piece."

Yakumo Yukari muttered that the more Lin Yan tried to stop her, the more she missed the apple.

Before she could shout a few more times, a figure appeared at the door of the grocery store without any warning.

"Boss, is there anyone here... Um? Is it you?"

Looking at Lin Yan's familiar face, Sakuya couldn't help but be stunned.

"I'm the boss here, what can I do for you?"

"I came to buy some seasonings. We've run out of them at home. I'll also bring some drinks for the kids."

"this way please."

As Lin Yan led Sakuya to the corresponding shelf, Yakumo Yukari's eyes gradually became sharper.

Something is wrong! Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with this woman!

When Sakuya passed by the counter, she saw the apple still there and asked with some confusion:

"Don't you like apples?"

"It seems I should have given you something else."

"It's okay. I was just busy cooking and feeding my family, so I didn't have time to eat."

"It's easy to be too busy taking care of your family, and my two little ones are always a headache."

......

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yakumo Yukari's eyes twitched involuntarily.

The whole family? Who does "old" refer to?!

Lin Yan also felt her dangerous gaze, but remained unmoved.

Yakumo Yukari stared at the two figures standing very close to each other, then paid special attention to Sakuya's cold and moving appearance, and her heart sank.

Blue has a rival!

A terrifying threat is invading the grocery store!

His wonderful life of being a lazy and useless person has also been seriously challenged!

After a moment's silence, she pretended to be nonchalant and asked casually -

"Lin Yan, when are you going to meet the wife we ​​promised you? It's not good to delay too long."

12. Hell lies ahead!

"To the wife you promised me?"

"Isn't she the boss lady?"

Sakuya asked after glancing at Yakumo Yukari with some surprise.

When I first entered the store, I saw such a beautiful woman lying comfortably on a chair, and I thought she was someone in the store.

Turns out she was a matchmaker?

"Ah~ Actually, it doesn't matter..."

"Don't get me wrong, this guy is just some idle idiot who brings his family along to eat and drink for free—"

Before Lin Yan could finish his words, he felt a pinch on his waist, causing him to gasp in pain.

And the one who did the dirty work, Yakumo Yukari, teased with a fake smile—

"You can't say that. Once you get married, Lin Yan, we'll be a family. How can we be considered idlers?"

"You didn't marry into this family yourself, so you're still an outsider in this family."

"Boss Lin is still so greedy. Is he planning to take everything and enjoy the company of women? Be careful that you might get stabbed one day."

"Is the relationship in your family a bit complicated?"

Sakuya's eyes twitched, but she had no intention of dwelling on the topic any further and continued to select the seasonings.

Although I have the urge to continue eating melons, the two little ones at home are more important.

"Do you still have black tea for sale?"

Noticing the many teas on the shelf nearby, Sakuya's eyes suddenly lit up.

We also have the brands we usually drink at home, so it’s a good time to replenish our stock.

"I remember you said there were patients at home. You can try brewing this health tea. It's good for your health."

Lin Yan said as he handed over a tea can with a strange packaging.

The whole jar looks like an urn, and the button at the switch leaves just enough blank space for posting a one-inch photo.

"Are you sure... you got the right one?"

“The packaging is a bit abstract, but the effect is still good.”

As Lin Yan opened the tea can, the inner packaging that looked like explosives was immediately revealed.

"..."

Could it be that this store is a grocery store on the surface, but is actually running some shady business?

Sakuya's eyelids twitched, but after picking up a pack and smelling it closely, her eyes suddenly lit up with surprise.

"Then buy a can and try it out. If it's good, you can buy more later."

"Pack up these cans of black tea, too. We consume a lot of black tea at home."

"Try a little of each of these snacks. The kids should be quite interested."

......

Before she knew it, Sakuya had bought several large bags of goods, almost clearing out several shelves.

Most of them were snacks for the two little ones at home, and I even brought a few toys.

When she came to her senses, two figures, one in red and white and the other in black and white, were standing by the door, holding their bowls and staring at the packed bags of goods on the ground.

"How rich does one have to be to be able to buy so many things without batting an eyelid?"

"You must have a lot of valuable treasures collected at home."

"This maid outfit is so pretty, it must be the work of a wealthy family!"

......

Having heard the two people's whispers, Sakuya bowed gracefully to them and introduced herself.

"Izayoi Sakuya, the new head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, welcomes everyone to visit the Scarlet Devil Mansion when you are free."

"My eldest daughter will be looking forward to meeting you all. I will treat you well then."

"Oh~ Such standard etiquette."

"Of course, we will go!"

Marisa promised with great confidence, but the moment she finished speaking, Sakuya felt an inexplicable chill.

She instinctively felt that something was wrong, but the words had already been spoken, and it would be inappropriate to take them back.

After returning a smile, she picked up the goods on the ground.

However, the quantity she bought was too large, and she couldn't carry most of it, so she could only look at Lin Yan inquiringly.

But before Lin Yan could say anything, Hongbai and Heibai beside him started howling excitedly—

“We can help!”

"That's right. We are the two most helpful people in the entire Gensokyo. No matter how far away you go, we can help you get back."

"Now that we know each other, we are all friends. Friends should help each other!"

However, Sakuya ignored the two people raising their hands excitedly, and her clear blue eyes were still staring at Lin Yan.
