Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

Mu Huai nodded in the face of Reimu's incredulous gaze, pretending to be surprised and asking, "Don't you know?"

"I don't know, that old... Yakumo Yukari kept saying you were fat..."

"Fat?"

"What a kind-hearted person!" Reimu almost said what was in her heart, but fortunately she reacted quickly to make amends.

"So that's how it is, Reimu. I think this fiancé and fiancée thing is too abrupt. We don't have any emotional foundation at all, so how could we get engaged so casually? Don't you think so?"

"That's right!"

At the beginning, Yakumo Yukari only told Reimu that Mu Huai was a rich fat sheep, and he liked gentle and dignified shrine maidens. As long as she pretended a little for a while, she could make him fall in love with her and willingly become an ATM machine.

Who would have thought that he would match people up behind her back? If she wasn't sure she could beat him, Reimu would really want to make trouble for her.

She was a dignified shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine, and she almost got engaged to someone else without knowing why. Although Mu Huai's appearance and wallet both scored 9.8, she could indeed spend his money openly after the engagement...

and many more!

Engagement = becoming an engaged couple = his money is my money, and my money is still my money = I am super rich!

Reimu, who was indignant just a second ago, suddenly started drooling for some reason.

Mu Huai sensed something was wrong and was about to run away with Takarada Rikka and Shinjo Akane. But before he could make a move, Reimu suddenly stood up, raised his hands, and shouted, "Everyone, look at me, look at me, I have an announcement!"

It's going to happen!

Suddenly, a slender hand stretched out from the void and pressed Mu Huai firmly in place, as if even the air had become a shackle that restricted his movements, completely cutting off his idea of ​​taking people away and running away.

All the monsters turned their eyes to Reimu, a shy blush appeared on her face. Even though she was shameless, a few girlish hearts emerged just before she announced that she had a fiancé.

But when she thought about not having to worry about money anymore, her girlish thoughts were immediately suppressed.

"I will be Mu Huai's fiancée from now on!!!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!" The monsters let out a tsunami-like cry of surprise. They never expected that such an exciting thing would happen at today's banquet.

"I didn't expect to see such a rare thing at a banquet. This life is worth it!"

Ye Ming Wanwen rushed to the expressionless Mu Huai with a pen and paper, and asked excitedly, "Mr. Mu Huai, how do you feel now?"

"I feel like my wallet is going through an unprecedented crisis."

"Hmm... Newcomer Mu Huai expressed his pessimism about his marriage to Reimu, and a marriage crisis is about to strike!"

"?"

"Next question, when do you plan to get married, how many children do you want, and how do you want to hold the wedding?"

"It's too early to talk about this now. Even if we want to get married, it should be Reimu, Rikka, and Akane together."

"Oh, I see!" Yumeiwan nodded repeatedly. "Mu Huai said that if he wants to hold a wedding, he must gather ninety-nine wives. At present, the number is too small, so we can't consider it for the time being."

Mu Huai clenched his fists calmly, veins popping out on his forehead. "Paparazzi Wen, you have strong business skills."

"Oh, it's not as good as you said."

Chapter 47: Yakumo Yukari

Reimu Maru's escape speed was indeed not exaggerated. Even though Mu Huai used the Faiz acceleration mode when he was caught off guard, he was unable to catch this paparazzi who liked to fabricate gossip.

He had no choice but to leave the party with Takarada Rikka and Shinjo Akane because he noticed that Ibuki Suika started looking for people to drink with her wine gourd.

She has a special ability, which is that no one can refuse her drinking. Once she starts, everyone will drink with her until they pass out.

Also, because Ibuki Suika is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Demons, and she has a simple personality and is easy to talk to, in most cases no monster will refuse to drink with her.

Drunk people will act crazy, not to mention monsters who have abilities far beyond those of humans. Once they start acting crazy, they will most likely start fighting.

Mu Huai didn't want his girlfriends, whom he cared about, to get involved in the battle and get hurt, so he decisively took them and ran away.

"Kaguya, is it really okay not to chat with him?"

"That's unnecessary. You saw that Turkey Girl and he have a good relationship. If I go over there, I'm afraid we'll get into another fight. I don't want to pull my hair off with another woman in front of Mu Mu and have my entire scalp ripped off. That would be too embarrassing."

Kaguya said this, but she felt unhappy when she thought about how Mu Huai didn't take the initiative to talk to her when he came to deliver something.

"It's too noisy here. I'm going back to play games."

"I'll chat with Yakumo Yukari for a few minutes and then I'll be back."

"I know, I know."

There were several empty bottles beside Yakumo Yukari. Youyouko beside her had gone somewhere to eat. As the cold moonlight reflected in the wine glass, she chuckled and said, "How strange! You actually came to me on your own initiative?"

"I'm just curious, why are you trying to matchmake for Hakurei Miko? No previous Miko has ever been married."

"Eirin, the world is changing, and the outside world is changing, but Gensokyo, the eternal paradise for monsters, remains unchanged. Do you think this is a good thing?"

"Why not? All we want is a place to stay. Wouldn't it be better if nothing changes?"

"I used to think so too." Yakumo Yukari silently drank the sake in her cup and turned to look in the direction of Pelican Town. "Monsters always come to Gensokyo because of fate and live here, but this is not without changes."

"Lifestyles, ideas, habits, and personalities always drive the monsters to find or create a suitable place for their survival in Gensokyo. Their culture will be passed on through interactions with others and eventually integrated into Gensokyo. This is also a subtle change."

"Although I have tried my best to keep Gensokyo from changing too much, after so many years, Gensokyo has finally ushered in a time of change. The key to all this lies in Mu Huai. He has become the person chosen by the core of Gensokyo to bring about change."

"I didn't want the changes he brought to destroy or divide the original Gensokyo, so I used this method to connect Gensokyo's past with him."

"Haha." Yagi Eirin suddenly laughed. Having lived for so long, she almost forgot that she was once a moon person, not a monster. "Yakumo Yukari, you don't understand human nature."

"People's hearts?"

"You're a monster, so naturally you'll use monster methods to understand humans. Monsters value their own strength, and the strong will naturally dominate a region and become kings. Your engagement is also a result of observing the humans in the mortal world, and then coming up with the idea to tie up Mu Huai, right?"

"That's right." Yakumo Yukari nodded in agreement.

"That's why I said you don't understand human nature. Although Mu Huai has an extraordinary obsession with beautiful girls, in my opinion, he is not the type of person who wants to dominate others."

Yagi Eirin casually pulled out a bottle of sake and sat down to drink with Yakumo Yukari. They then changed the subject and talked about Pelican Town near the village of the human world. "I heard that town was created by Gensokyo for him?"

"It's hard to believe, but Gensokyo actually took the initiative to evolve a living area for humans."

"Don't you think it's strange that a rural town has been deliberately transformed into a ruin?"

"A monster wouldn't sit idle and pry into a person's heart and past. I just need to know that he can complete the task I need."

Although Yakumo Yukari didn't say it explicitly, Yagi Eirin already understood it. It was obvious that Pelican Town was related to Mu Huai's past and inner world.

She remembered how Kaguya had described Mu Huai: "This guy is so heartless and so cheerful every day, as if he has no worries or sadness. If I hadn't been so kind as to play games with him, he would have disappeared from the world long ago. It's really worrying."

"The more heartless you are, the more likely your past will be hard to look back on."

With a casual sigh, Yagi Eirin seemed to be reminded of past memories and instantly lost interest in continuing the conversation. After drinking all the sake, he stood up and left.

"Wait, you come over here and tell me I don't understand people's hearts, and then just leave like that?"

"Yeah, it's rare to see a Yokai Sage make a mistake in judgment, so I came here just to mock him."

"Hmph." Yakumo Yukari curled her lips and didn't intend to continue asking. Anyway, she was observing Mu Huai every day. Even if Yagi Eirin didn't tell her, she would find the answer sooner or later.

As a dignified demon, she also needs to maintain her dignity. How could she take the initiative to give the 800 million aunt a handle?

After thinking about it, Yakumo Yukari felt that the reason she suffered today was because of Mu Huai, the culprit. She decided to secretly take all the food in his refrigerator in two days and let Yakumo Lan cook a sumptuous meal for her.

The fish last time was quite delicious, and Cheng wanted to swallow all the fish bones.

On the other side, after Reimu announced the matter of her fiancé, her fiancé ran away with his girlfriend, not even giving her a chance to get gold coins. Looking at Reimu who was still spreading rumors and gossip everywhere in an attempt to increase sales for tomorrow's newspaper, she suddenly felt furious.

"Paparazzi Wen, you scared my fiancé away, pay me!"

"Hahaha, Reimu, what are you talking about? Didn't you scare Mu Huai away because of your greedy and stingy aura?"

"Who are you calling greedy and stingy? I was in perfect miko mode the whole time!"

"Snap!" Yumeiwan took the opportunity to take a picture of Reimu's gnashing teeth, then proudly waved the photo at her. "We have the photo for tomorrow's front-page news. The caption will be: Hakurei Miko set up an engagement party to lure Mu Huai into her scheme to defraud her of money."

Reimu's momentum suddenly weakened, and even her voice became quieter when she objected: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to cheat you out of money!"

"Hey, why are you feeling guilty?"

"Paparazzi Wen, if I don't give you a good beating today, I won't be called the Red and White Urban Management!!!"

Furious and humiliated, Reimu pulled out her imperial coin and soared into the sky.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Reimu Maru Bun immediately flapped his black crow wings and ran away.

"Fight, fight!"

The cheers of the melon-eating monsters resounded through the sky, and the daily life in Gensokyo today was also very exciting.

Chapter 48 Remlia: Ouch

"Hehe~ Hahaha~ You never thought, I who was once powerless to resist, am now dead. Now standing before you is the invincible me!"

Mu Huai put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly at Akane Shinjo and Rikka Takarada who were panting and leaning against each other to rest. He had successfully avenged his previous defeat and defeated the two beautiful girls while discussing human reproduction and philosophy.

His despicable expression seemed particularly hateful in Xin Tiao Qian's eyes. Although he was her boyfriend, she just wanted to make him look powerless to resist and with a little shame and regret.

She turned her head and saw the same meaning in the eyes of the sweaty Baoduo Rikka, so they both nodded, and a faint glow appeared on their bodies and they instantly changed into the school uniform of Dujuantai High School. Two beautiful legs, one black and one white, pushed Mu Huai back into the bed.

Fantasy is full, but reality is skinny.

Mu Huai seemed to have forgotten that although he was immortal, he did not have infinite physical strength. When his consciousness returned to his body from the red-haired Grim Reaper of Sanzu River, the sky outside was already slightly bright.

Obviously, he was somehow sucked dry by his two girlfriends and sent to Sanzu River once. Fortunately, the red-haired beautiful girl of death would not take away his H soul.

However, Xin Tiao Qian and the others did not do so without paying a price. When the two girls got up to eat this morning, they had to hold on to the wall while walking. It was obvious that they had fought with Mu Huai last night and both of them were injured.

"I plan to continue fishing to earn money today. Tomorrow I should be able to officially start asking you to help demolish and build the house."

Three days have passed since the shrine engagement incident, and Mu Huai's daily life has not been affected at all. He still stays in Pelican Town and lives a diligent life from 6 am to 9 pm every day.

Occasionally he would treat Cirno to some popsicles. Fortunately, this idiot finally realized that there was only so much milk in the milk popsicles each time, and it was not enough to take back for friends, so he stopped doing the stupid thing of freezing the milk and taking it back.

Marisa always comes to steal Mu Huai's things when Akane Shinjo and the others return to the Greyt World, but every time he catches her in acceleration mode and forces her to use him as a pillow to sleep on for the night.

The next day, after waking up with her Marisa-brand pillow, her face was always particularly red. Then she glared at him with her watery eyes and left with her magic broom.

He didn't know if it was Mu Huai's illusion, but he always felt that there was a trace of residual moisture on his fingers. However, when he woke up, he never saw any water stains on his hands. Instead, Marisa's body fragrance was particularly strong.

By the way, Xin Tiao Qian accidentally discovered that she could improve her carpenter profession through construction. After the profession was upgraded, she could even build some buildings that did not originally exist in the game, such as signal base stations, signal towers and other human technological civilization buildings.

This discovery gave Mu Huai a vague direction for the future construction of Pelican Town. After rebuilding the ruined houses, he planned to try his best to improve the living standards of the town to the level of modern technology without destroying the natural environment.

After all, the current situation in Pelican Town where long-distance communication relies on shouting, public security relies on dogs, and transportation relies on walking is really unbearable for Mu Huai and Xin Tiao Qian, who are accustomed to modern life.

As for whether this technology can be brought to Gensokyo, Mu Huai has not made any plans for the time being. The monsters have their own living habits, and it may not be a situation that Yakumo Yukari would like to see if he rashly spreads technology into Gensokyo on a large scale.

Ideas are just ideas, but Mu Huai is currently still working hard to earn gold coins for building a house. He put away his wandering thoughts and focused on fishing.

At noon, Rika Takara brought him a lunch box. After the meal, the two of them were intimate at the dock. She left with the lunch box, and Mu Huai continued fishing.

Just when he was sighing in his heart that a simple and ordinary life was the real life, the sudden visit of two unexpected visitors threw a stone into his peaceful life.

Remlia came to the dock accompanied by Sakuya Izayoi who was holding a parasol. As soon as she saw Mu Huai, she started to saliva uncontrollably.

Ever since she drank Mu Huai's blood last time, Remlia has lost her appetite and almost made the loyal head maid very worried.

Later I found out that Mu Huai's blood tasted so good that she was thinking about how to change the original treaty so that he would donate blood more frequently. What happened yesterday gave Remlia a good reason.

As we all know, when the Scarlet Devil Mansion first moved to Gensokyo, it launched the Red Mist Anomaly in an attempt to take away the sunlight, which vampires hate the most, and prevent sunlight from reaching Gensokyo forever.

But she was soon severely taught a lesson by Reimu Hakurei, the red and white city management officer who was invincible in single combat in Gensokyo. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Although Remlia accepted the fact of defeat, she did not forget the shame.

Right now, Mu Huai, the fiancé, is the perfect target for revenge.

Reimu's fiancé paid off her debts. Pretty reasonable logic, isn't it?

Remlia could hardly suppress the smile at the thought of being able to drink the sweet blood she had been away from for a long time.

"Mu Huai, put away your fishing rod. I have something to ask you!"

"Miss, you are willing to come out and see me in person. Is there something important?"

Because Mu Huai's attitude was too good, Remlia didn't know how to cause trouble. After all, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. So she had to turn to the head maid whom she trusted the most for help.

"Mu Huai, Reimu once offended the dignity of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. You will bear this shame for her!"

"That's right!"

"Alas... I didn't expect to have to help Reimu out of trouble for no reason." Mu Huai really wanted to refuse this unreasonable request, but when he thought about whether he could use this as an excuse to actually capture Reimu, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and face the question: "Tell me, how much money does that guy owe?"
