Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

Lala chuckled softly, then explained her reason.

It turns out that because her father often arranged various blind dates for her, and because she was naturally sensitive to good and evil, she could roughly tell whether the other party was approaching her with good intentions or malice with just one glance.

Lala's distant attitude towards those boys stemmed from sensing a hint of malice emanating from them. Although it wasn't directed at her, it was enough for her to blacklist them.

At this point, she suddenly smiled excitedly and described to Anna Yagami her first impression of Kiku: "When he looked at me suddenly appearing, he didn't show the slightest bit of malice, and he even thoughtfully prepared a handrail for me..."

"Oh... um... that's amazing..."

When Banami saw Anna using her most common three-part perfunctory response, she had no intention of listening to Lala, her fiancé, talk about her childhood sweetheart whom she secretly loved. However, the other party showed no sign of stopping, so Banami could only open the bento box and silently pick up her chopsticks.

Since things have come to this, let's eat first.

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 13 - A Shrine Maiden Moves In

After spending the past two days getting to know Lala, Anna found that, aside from being a rival in love, Lala is actually a very worthwhile friend to make.

She has a cheerful and lively personality and is friendly to others. If it weren't for the fact that she was revealed to be Mu Huai's fiancée on the day she transferred schools, she would probably be even more famous among the boys in the school now.

In the afternoon, both of them received a text message from Mu Huai: the filming went smoothly today, so he would be going home early.

After school, Anna Hanami canceled her original plan to go to the food street for a big feast and instead went home with Lala.

The two chatted idly on the way back. When they returned to the vicinity of Mu Huai's house, they saw a girl with long green hair, wearing a blue and white shrine maiden outfit, standing at the door, holding a piece of paper and looking around.

The kind-hearted Lala immediately stepped forward and asked, "Um... are you lost?"

"Ah, yes, I haven't traveled far from home in a long time. Even though I'm following the map, I'm not sure if I've come to the right place."

As Sanae answered, she also glanced curiously at Lala's long, thin tail. Since she had no demonic power, she couldn't immediately determine whether Lala was a demon or if the tail was just a decoration.

Lala took the hand-drawn map, and Anna opened the electronic map and placed it in front of her. After comparing the two maps, they realized that the place the other was looking for was the Mu Huai family's house.

"Oh? So you're looking for Mu Huai!"

"You know him?"

Sanae noticed that after learning that she was looking for Mu Huai, the blue-haired girl's eyes changed immediately, suddenly becoming wary, as if she were some kind of dangerous person.

Completely unaware that Anna was secretly tugging at her clothes, Lala smiled warmly: "Of course I know her. I am Lala Satalin Deviluke, who just became Mu Huai's fiancée. She is Mu Huai's childhood friend, Anna.

“Fiancée… I did have his love life predicted before I came, but this is a bit too much, isn’t it?” Sanae muttered slightly dissatisfied, then smiled back at the two women: “Miss Lala, Miss Banami, hello, I am… a shrine maiden who once blessed Muhuai, Sanae Kochiya.”

Banami nodded politely in response, still maintaining her wary attitude towards Sanae. She didn't think it was a good thing for a shrine maiden to suddenly appear at the door of the Mokuai family.

It's worth noting that in some visual novels, there's a case where the male protagonist is forced to marry a shrine maiden after pulling out a sacred sword that's been enshrined.

It's possible that the shrine maiden came to our door this time because she had given us a blessing before, and then due to various events, the shrine chose to let this gentle and elegant shrine maiden come down the mountain and marry Mu Huai.

Wait... Wood is currently engaged to Lala. If he were to become engaged to a shrine maiden as well, wouldn't that mean the two of them would definitely fight over their identities and positions?

Then I could take advantage of the competition between these two people to launch an attack on Wood. Wouldn't that give me a better chance of winning?

Thinking of this, Yanagi felt like she was a love strategist and immediately messaged him to come out.

Mu Huai stepped out of his house and found Sanae standing at the door chatting happily with Lala. He never expected that she, the shrine maiden of the Moriya Shrine, would personally come to this other world to find him.

He walked over with a smile and a wave, saying, "Sanae, I'm so surprised you came. Is everything alright at the shrine?"

"Mu Huai!"

Upon seeing him again after the consciousness exchange, Sanae was extremely excited and ran over to give him a warm hug.

The moment her curvaceous figure crashed into his arms, it made Anna Hanami even more certain that she was the shrine maiden who had come down from the mountain to steal a man.

"I am the first person to come to this other world. There are also a few yokai who are temporarily receiving transmigration training in Kaguya's place for some reason. In this world, they are shrine maidens who have just moved to this city."

She whispered these things in Mu Huai's ear, then released his hands and put them behind her back, a serene smile playing on her lips: "I haven't found a place to stay yet, could you take me in for a while?"

“=/Q?*unmedicine (seven)sulfur isohydrourtwoIXno problem, anyway my house is big, I can go to sleep directly when I'm tired.”

When Hana heard this, she became anxious.

She forced her way between the two, glaring at them with her beautiful eyes and demanding, "Wait a minute! What were you two whispering about? How did it suddenly turn into Miss Dongfeng Valley wanting to stay at your house?"

"She just moved here and hasn't found a place to live yet, so it's okay for her to stay with me temporarily, right?"

"What's wrong with this?!"

Lala asked in confusion, "Of course there's nothing wrong with lending a helping hand when someone is in trouble, Anzu, are you misunderstanding something?"

"Don't you guys have any common sense at all? Mu Huai is a boy in the prime of his life. Aren't you afraid something might happen if you let Miss Dongfeng Valley live in your house like this?"

"Xingcai, so you really think I'm that unreliable?"

When Banami saw Mu Huai roll her eyes at her, she realized she had shot herself in the foot. She quickly waved her hands and explained, "That's not what I meant, it's just... what if the paparazzi take pictures of them coming and going from your house and then fabricate rumors about you?"

“Your acting career has just begun. If it gets ruined because of something like this, of course I can’t just stand by and watch!”

What she said made a lot of sense, so Sanae took action.

She took out a talisman and stuck it on the wall outside Mu Huai's house. Then she turned around, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Now there's no problem. With this talisman to ward off unwanted visitors, those paparazzi will definitely not be able to get close to here!"

"Really?" Bana asked, seeing Anja's skepticism. If Lala's magical methods could be explained by alien technology, then Sanae's talisman was pure fantasy.

"Of course it's true. After all, I'm a shrine maiden, so making talismans with special effects is a piece of cake for me. If you don't believe me, walk a hundred meters to the right and see if you can get back to Mu Huai's doorstep."

"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

As soon as Banami saw Anja, she sprinted a hundred meters and then walked back. Normally, a straight road would only take less than a minute to walk. However, no matter how she moved towards the Mu Huai family, even if she went backwards, she was still like a ghost wall, constantly going back and forth on the same road.

Amazed by the magic of Sanae's talisman, she then took out her phone to contact Mu Huai: "Help me! I can't go to your house, please tell Miss Dongfeng Valley to stop her supernatural powers!"

"Okay, try again."

Upon receiving the reply, Banami Anzu immediately looked up and hurried on her way, successfully returning to Mu Huai's house this time.

"Well?" Sanae stood demurely with her hands placed on her lower abdomen, revealing a confident smile: "Ms. Hanami, now you should believe me, right?"

"I believe you, I believe you!" She nodded quickly, not holding back her praise, and pulled Sanae aside to whisper, "Um... Miss Kochiya, do you have any talismans that, when applied to a boy, will make him fall in love with the girl he sees at first sight?"

"?"

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 14, "Are all beautiful girls attractive?"

"Those kinds of evil talismans are not within my scope of creation."

Sanae's smile was forced. She had no idea that this girl, who looked like a little animal, would surprise her so much when she opened her mouth.

"I... I know, I was just trying to play a little joke on you." Seeing Anja's awkward explanation, Bana quickly ran back to Muhuai's side.

The look in your eyes just now didn't seem like a joke.

Silently complaining to herself, Sanae followed Mu Huai into the house at his invitation.

Seeing this modern style of decor, so different from what she had seen in Gensokyo, again after so long, she felt like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden, finding everything in the house very new and exciting.

Since they were going to stay here temporarily, Mu Huai let Lala entertain Sanae while he and Yana Mi Anna cleaned the empty guest room. Afterward, they went out to buy bed sheets and other daily necessities, as well as ingredients.

As night deepened, Banai saw Anzu walking ahead of him with her hands behind her back. Instead of starting a conversation with him as usual, she simply kept walking from the lamplight into the darkness.

Mu Huai stared at her gloomy back and asked softly, "Don't you want Sanae to live in my house?"

Banami paused slightly before continuing on her way, replying in a flat, emotionless voice, "I didn't mean it that way, it's just... a little strange... a few days ago, only I came to your house... but now there are two beautiful girls with you..."

"Hmm...it might be a bit late to say now, but...there might be more coming in the future."

"What!?"

Wanting to feign sadness, Yanami Anina turned around with lightning speed, rushed to Mu Huai, grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently back and forth.

"Don't tell me you have multiple engagements. We used to play together all the time when we were kids. Where did you find the time to run off to meet other girls? Are you a time management master?!"

"It's not really an engagement, we're just acquaintances."

Seeing his calm expression, Bana noticed Anza slightly narrow her starry eyes and asked in a low, somewhat dangerous voice, "Male or female?"

"It's definitely a woman. What would you think if I said that someone I know is a man?"

After hesitating for a moment, she answered truthfully: "I suspect you might like men."

"That's more like it."

"Sigh—" Banai sighed deeply, her face full of worry as she released her hands from Muhuai's shoulders: "I'm really worried that you'll be swindled out of your money by a bad woman..."

"Being an actor doesn't pay as much as you might imagine."

"But you started acting when you were in junior high school. If I remember correctly, you told me last time that you had saved 20 million yen, right?"

"more or less."

"This is already a lot of money. Are you sure the girls who come later won't be like Miss Dongfenggu and Lala, and won't be after your money?"

Although Mu Huai didn't know who came from Gensokyo, it was a complete joke that they would covet his savings in this world; it was more likely that they were lusting after his body.

"Don't worry, that kind of thing is absolutely impossible. If you're still worried..." he said, pulling a bank card out of his pocket and casually stuffing it into Anna's hand. "You can keep this bank card. The password is your birthday."

"Huh? Huh!!!!"

After jumping and skipping excitedly for a few minutes while holding the bank card, she opened her hands with trembling hands and stared intently at the bank card lying quietly inside. Not only did her vision begin to blur, but her brain also began to feel dizzy.

Wood actually set my birthday as the password for his bank card and entrusted me with his savings. Is this... a confession?

Such an important thing must be locked in a small safe and taken out after we get married to build our home... No, no, no, if I agree now, wouldn't I become one of those women eyeing his money?!

Seeing Anja's eyes instantly become incredibly clear, Bana firmly returned the bank card: "This is too valuable. I'm not capable of keeping it safe. You should keep it yourself."

"To be honest...did you misunderstand something because you were so agitated just now?" Mu Huai asked with a half-smile, pinning her against the wall by the roadside. The light from above shone down, hiding half of his face in shadow, carrying a sense of danger that made her heart race.

"I...I didn't misunderstand. I'm just happy that you've saved so much money."

"Really? Are you sure you're not just saying this because I like you?"

When Banai heard Anja let out a soft moan, she quickly raised her hand to cover her burning cheeks. She was now 100% certain that Mu Huai was deliberately taking revenge on her, and that he was imitating her "confession desensitization therapy"!

That's such a shameless move! Doesn't he know I really like him?

"I surrender, please stop saying that... Besides, we're outside, what if the paparazzi take pictures of us..."

Mu Huai had no intention of stopping. He grabbed her wrist with his left hand and forcibly moved her hand away, slowly leaning his face forward: "So what if you take the picture? It won't affect my work right now anyway."

His warm breath gently brushed against Anna's flushed face as he spoke, causing her chest to heave in a captivating arc. She watched as the person she loved drew ever closer, as if all she had to do was pucker her lips to kiss him.

Completely unprepared, she could only close her eyes and quietly wait for the moment her first kiss would be taken away.

After a while, Mu Huai's soft laughter reached her ears, instantly turning her shyness into anger.

When Banai saw Anzu open her eyes and see Mu Huai grinning wickedly, she suddenly became emboldened and opened her small mouth, revealing her clean and neat teeth, and viciously bit the tip of his nose.

"Aww!! Xingcai, are you a dog? Let go of me!"

"No... fish... live... ga!"

The two played around in the night for a while, and finally, with the tooth mark on his nose, Mu Huai went to the mall with Banami Anna to buy everything. When he was paying, he noticed that the cashier looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and whispered, "A beautiful girl's tooth mark, not everyone can get one, but her saliva smells a bit bad."

These words made Hachimi Anzu blush with anger, her face even redder than when Mu Huai had teased her earlier. She dragged him to a corner of the underground parking lot and forced him to smell her breath.

"Where do you smell bad? I pay close attention to my oral hygiene every day, okay? Besides, you yourself said when you were little that beautiful girls smell good all over!"

"Old Eight, there's a harsh truth I want to remind you of: even pretty girls poop. You can't exactly tell me you can poop strawberry-flavored chocolate, can you?"

As Anna's face contorted in pain, she clenched her fists and lunged at him, yelling, "I'll bite you to death, you disgusting bastard!"

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 15, Gensokyo Food Culture Research Club

Sanae also entered Muhuai's class as a transfer student. However, school life was not as interesting as she had imagined. She was drowsy in class and had nothing to talk about with the other girls after class.

Having long been accustomed to dealing with monsters, she had no idea what to say when facing female high school students. It was obvious that ordinary girls would not be interested in topics like tokusatsu or Gundam models, which she liked.

It was at this time that Sanae took the initiative to seek advice from Mu Huai, and his answer was quite simple: to approach Lala and Anna Hanami and apply to establish a club.

Can any application for a club or organization really get approved?

“These days, as long as there are cute girl elements, even sitting in front of the camera doing homework can become a hit. If you add Lala and Anzu, I can’t think of any reason why it won’t be approved. If all else fails, just go back and find Yukari Yakumo and let her, as the chairperson, handle it.”

Sanae suddenly realized and clapped her hands excitedly: "That makes sense, I'll go apply right now!"

"Wait!" Mu Huai called out to her.

"what happened?"

"The minimum number of members for the club is four. Remember to include me. By the way, I've also thought of a name for the club: 'Thornless and Thornless', how about that?"

"The name sounds weird, and... the club activities haven't been decided yet. Let's decide on the name together after I talk to Lala and the others!"

"it is good."
