My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Although it was nothing serious, it still made me feel a little uncomfortable.

“…Ugh.”

After catching Lianlian, Jue rubbed the place on his back where he was hit, raised his hand, and patted the back of his sister in his arms lightly and effortlessly. He frowned slightly and gave some worried instructions to his sister who was rubbing against him contentedly.

"Lianlian, haven't I told you many times? Don't do such dangerous things. If your sister doesn't catch you, you might get hurt."

"Um...I'm sorry, sis."

Hearing her elder sister's slightly worried tone of advice, the cute little sister with light green hair buried her little head in her elder sister's chest and apologized to her in a low voice embarrassedly.

Seeing her sister apologizing in such a pitiful manner for who knows how many times, Miss Jue sighed softly, her tone relaxed, and she gave another instruction with some helplessness.

“…Be careful next time.”

At the same time, while this series of actions was happening, Ai, Shana, and Kaguya, like Shang Yang, casually sat around the square table, observing with great interest the loving interactions between the Gu Ming sisters, which had happened countless times.

Seeing that this interaction was about to end, when Miss Jue was about to shift her gaze over here, Shang Yang and the girls instantly shifted their gaze away from the sisters Jue and Lianlian, and each went about their own business.

This also led to the fact that when Jue turned his gaze, what he saw was Kaguya and Shana groping in the TV cabinet together, looking for the NS machine placed inside the TV cabinet, and Shang Yang was discussing something with Ai.

Even though she understood through mind reading that these people were just watching her and Lianlian, Miss Jue did not feel much helplessness.

For hundreds of years, the sisterly exchanges between Lianlian and I have been watched countless times by others. Now, Jue no longer feels embarrassed.

Holding Lianlian's soft little hand, Jue and his sister walked to the square table in three or two steps and sat down naturally.

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 164: The Eve of the Journey

A few hours later, in the evening.

The dim night gradually enveloped Mount Yoshino in the Nara area.

Deep in Mount Yoshino, in the hot spring resort, in the kitchen.

Wow.

The sound of a door being pushed open.

Unlike the cypress door between the living room and the corridor, the door between the living room and the kitchen is also a sliding door, but the kitchen door is made of opaque soundproof glass.

At noon, after Kaguya taught Jue how to play Super Smash Bros. SPECIAL on the NS console, Shang Yang, Ai and Shana also joined in.

After playing for a while, the gray-haired young men and girls, who were gradually feeling a little tired, returned to their bedrooms on the second floor to enjoy a wonderful nap.

A few hours later, the young man with gray hair stood up after a good nap, carefully covered the black-haired girl who was still sleeping soundly in his arms with a thin quilt, and got up and went downstairs.

When he opened the kitchen door, what caught the young man's eye were two girls with very similar faces, busy at work.

The elder sister Wen Ji was washing the peeled green onion slices with water, while the younger sister Wen Ju was holding a kitchen knife and cutting the dried red peppers into pieces on the chopping board.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the two sisters, the Fusangshen girl and the undead girl, turned around and cast puzzled glances at the kitchen door. When they saw that it was Shang Yang who pushed open the kitchen door, the two sisters hurriedly put down the work in their hands, turned around and bowed to Shang Yang.

"Lord Shangjun, we sisters have come to the hot spring villa according to your and Lord Jue's orders."

"Uh, it's okay, just get busy."

Seeing that the two sisters were a little flustered, the young man waved his hand, indicating that the sisters don't need to be nervous.

"I'm just looking around, but you guys are pretty good at this."

"You flatter me……"

Hearing Shang Yang's praise, the undead girl, her sister Wen Ji, declined modestly.

"When we arrived here, we happened to see Miss Shana getting up and coming downstairs. Miss Shana asked us sisters to attend the banquet you are hosting at your mansion tonight."

"However, my sister and I are embarrassed to attend Lord Shangjun's banquet like this. So, we asked Miss Shana to tell us if there is anything we can do for everyone. Miss Shana gave us a book that contains instructions for preparing various ingredients for a dish called 'hot pot', and asked us sisters to help prepare the ingredients."

"Is that so... Then I'll have to trouble you sisters to prepare."

Hearing this, Shang Yang nodded slightly in understanding.

"The meat is in the freezer. Take it out and cook it according to the instructions Shana gave you."

"Yes."×2

Seeing the two sisters bow again, Shang Yang ruffled his hair and prepared to leave.

"Okay then, I'll leave first. When you're ready, Ai will come over to guide you in making it."

"Okay, please don't worry." ×2

After one hour.

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening and it was completely dark. Although the late summer night was still hot, it was obviously not as hot as the daytime. The bright moon rose in the night sky.

Outside the living room, the originally light yellow hot spring beach was dyed into a moon-white beach by the bright moonlight.

Sitting on the beach, Shang Yang, who was sitting at a square table, reached out and lifted the lid of the hot pot, and the boiling steam rose into the air.

Along with the hot steam, the unique spicy aroma of Sichuan hot pot also overflowed from the pot, filling the moon-white beach.

Taking a deep breath, Shana nodded with satisfaction, and casually cast her gaze at the sisters Wen Ji and Wen Ju who were a little reserved beside her, and praised them.

"Not bad, you two sisters, the seasoning is just right."

"Ah."

Before the two somewhat reserved sisters could reply, Ai took over the topic and commented softly in a low voice.

"I only taught you the method, but you were able to not only reproduce the flavor but also develop your own understanding. It seems that you sisters have a wealth of culinary experience."

"Yes, thank you."

Hearing Shana and Ai's praise, the younger sister, the Fusangshen girl, looked at her elder sister who was also a little reserved with some restraint.

"Most of the preparation of the hot pot base is done by my sister, and Wen Ju basically just helps out."

"I, my concubine, was born in a humble family."

Hearing her sister taking the credit, the undead girl hurriedly replied.

"So, while I'm certainly no stranger to culinary matters, the fact that I'm experienced is truly an exaggeration on the part of His Highness Ai and Miss Shana."

"Relax...you sisters."

Looking up at the two sisters who were sitting there stiffly, he felt the voice was soft and gentle, comforting them softly.

"We are just enjoying dinner now, not holding a palace banquet. Come, imitate me, take a deep breath... and exhale..."

While comforting herself, the girl with short lavender hair took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Upon hearing Jue's instructions, sisters Wen Ji and Wen Ju subconsciously took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Yeah, that's right."

Seeing the sisters' actions, Miss Jue nodded with satisfaction and smiled softly.

"Just relax a little."

"This dinner is our way of thanking you sisters for taking care of the hot spring villa and the other mansion while we are away."

While making the statement, Shang Yang raised his chopsticks, picked up a thin slice of meat, and dipped it in the boiling red hot pot soup. When the meat slices completely changed color, Shang Yang raised his chopsticks, put a piece in Ai's bowl first, and then put a piece in Jue's bowl and his own bowl respectively, and comforted them in the same way.

"You're welcome too."

After hearing Shang Yang's comfort and imitating Miss Jue's sigh of relief, sisters Wen Ji and Wen Ju also relaxed a lot. The two sisters looked at each other, turned their heads, and on their very similar faces, they showed a faint smile at the same time and bowed.

"Well, thank you for your help, everyone."

"We are here. 箘叄罒铃〨奇二er（四）覇罒"

Hearing the sisters' relaxed words, Ai raised her fair and soft hands, picked up the Coke in her hand, and asked sincerely.

"I'll be in trouble for the next few hundred years."

Seeing the action of the girl with long black hair, the two sisters were startled and hurriedly picked up the wine glasses filled with wine with both hands and spoke in unison.

"Your Highness, please don't say that. We sisters feel extremely honored to be able to help and serve you."

"Ah, I want one too~"

Seeing the sisters' respectful look, Kaguya, who was picking up a cooked snow-white mushroom and putting it into her mouth, swallowed the mushroom in one gulp, put down her chopsticks, and also raised her glass cup filled with wine, and asked the sisters Wen Ji and Wen Ju for help in an expectant tone.

"I'm sorry to bother you guys with signing in and AFKing every day to do the game activities."

"You do this kind of thing yourself!" ×4

Hearing the expected words from Her Royal Highness the Princess, the young men and girls immediately rejected Her Royal Highness's request in unison.

Seeing such a unified rejection, Kaguya snorted in dissatisfaction, full of resentment.

"...Hehe, wait until my sisters come to the hot spring villa, and then you will target me again."

Hearing Kaguya's resentful words, Jue and Shana's gazes instantly turned cold, and they all stabbed towards someone.

Of course, the person Jue and Shana were staring at was not Kaguya, but Shang Yang, who looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

"……cough."

Facing the terrifying, knife-like gazes of Jue and Shana, Shang Yang glared at Kaguya with dissatisfaction as she covered her mouth and laughed secretly, pretending to be thoughtful and innocent, not noticing the terrifying gazes of Jue and Shana.

Although Jue and Shana were not actually angry, they were still very depressed every time this matter was mentioned.

Seeing Jue and Shana like this, Ai shook her head slightly with a hint of helplessness.

She stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a meatball from the spicy hot pot soup, and placed it in the young man's bowl. The girl with long black hair, the young man's sweetheart, then went to look for the fish ball in the hot pot soup.

Seeing Miss Ai's actions, Jue and Shana looked at each other, shook their heads in frustration, and picked up their chopsticks to start digging in the hot and spicy soup of the hot pot.

Seeing that Jue and Shana quickly began to concentrate on finding their favorite food in the hot pot soup, Shang Yang shrugged and called out to the sisters Wen Ji and Wen Ju who had been observing this side and felt very confused.

"Sisters, stop just observing and eat quickly..."

Click. ×2

Before Shang Yang could finish speaking, something fell into his bowl with a slight sound.

Hearing the sound, the young man subconsciously turned around, only to see the girl with short lavender hair and the petite black-haired girl each picking up their favorite food and gently placing it in the young man's bowl.

Then, they each picked up food for themselves, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Jue and Shana's actions, Shang Yang, who understood their intention of "reconciliation", shrugged helplessly.

Seeing this scene, the sisters Wen Ji and Wen Ju, who were originally a little reserved, almost burst out laughing. They hurriedly lowered their heads and pretended to eat seriously.

And because of this, the two sisters finally let go completely. The girls took turns using chopsticks and spoons, and soon, no matter whether it was the food on the plates next to them or the food that was put into the hot pot at the beginning, it was all swept away by the young men and girls.

After finishing the delicious Sichuan hotpot and tidying up the square table and other items, Jue took Lianlian, and the sisters Wenji and Wenju, and used the random door to go to the house he and Lianlian had in the underground of the other world.

Jue still had some things to tell Wen Che and Wen Ju, while Shang Yang, Ai, Shana and Kaguya all went upstairs to rest. No one planned to stay up late, even Kaguya didn't plan to stay up late, but went back to her bedroom early.

After all, we are leaving for our journey tomorrow morning.

PS1: In the game of Touhou Cannonball, the CV for Xiao Ai (Alice Margatroid) is Chiwa Saito. I can play Chiwa's sister as Alice.

PS2: However, the CV for Kaku-sama (Komeiji Kaku) is Hanazawa Kana, which feels a bit subtle... I hope Kaku-sama won't sound like Kuroneko (Gokou Ruri) as soon as he opens his mouth.

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 165: Departure for the Journey

889 AD, the first year of the Dragon Era in the Tang Dynasty and the first year of the Kanpei Era in Japan.

The 18th day of the eighth lunar month, around 8:00 in the morning.

He opened his eyes drowsily, and the dazzling sunlight made Shang Yang close his eyes subconsciously. After a little adjustment, Shang Yang opened his eyes again. The bright and hot late summer sunlight penetrated through the window glass and sprinkled on the bed.

After patting his cheeks and waking up, Shang Yang stood up naturally.

The young man raised his slender index finger and pressed his temple, then snapped his fingers and his old clothes were immediately put on.

Then, the young man walked slowly into the bathroom, humming a tune while washing up.

After washing up, Shang Yang was about to push the door and go downstairs when he suddenly saw a piece of letter paper on the desk.

He picked up the letter paper casually, and saw the flowing flying white script written with a fountain pen on it, which caught Shang Yang's eye.

"If you wake up, I'll be waiting for you on the beach in the courtyard."

You don't have to guess who left this handwriting.

There are only two people in the family who are used to writing calligraphy with a brush. One of them is Shang Yang. In order to show off, Shang Yang practiced intermittently for nearly a hundred years and developed a neat regular script.

The other is love. Love's flying white calligraphy has reached the level of flowing water. This also results in the fact that no matter whether love writes calligraphy with a brush or a pen, the handwriting of love also has a flowing and extremely beautiful flying white style.
