Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

"My sexual orientation is normal, I just think he is ordinary."

"ordinary!?"

Chloe and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. It was hard to imagine that an adventurer who had made history in Orario would be given such an ordinary evaluation by Seele.

Liu, immersed in her own world, is still angry about not being able to complete her revenge. Ever since Mu Huai and Ai Si formed a temporary team to go on an adventure together, she has not found any opportunity to take revenge on the former.

There were even several times when she was too close and was almost noticed by the extremely intuition-sharp Ai Si. She had no choice but to postpone her revenge plan indefinitely.

If it were just that, her mood wouldn't be so bad, but the problem was that every time these two people came back from the dungeon, they would run here to eat and celebrate according to the custom of Loki's family.

Her companions were inexplicably always busy during this time period, which resulted in her having to watch Mu Huai hanging around in front of her every day for the past six months, but she couldn't do anything to teach him a lesson and had to serve him tea and water with a smile on her face.

The resentment in her heart grew heavier and heavier, so now she looked at everyone with a cold face, as if everyone owed her tens of millions of fari.

Under the distressed gaze of the proprietress Mia, Liu wiped all the dining tables in the store vigorously. Fortunately, she remembered to control her strength, otherwise there would not be a single intact table left for the customers to eat today.

In the evening, amid the noisy clinking of glasses by the adventurers, Liu quietly cleared away the plates left behind by the previous wave of guests and glanced at the door.

Judging from the time, that bastard, Ai Si, and those two little ones should be here for dinner soon, right?

Thinking of this, Mu Huai, the figure that made her grit her teeth, immediately pushed the door and walked into the store, showing a smile that seemed particularly annoying to her, and walked in chatting and laughing with Lily.

Liu turned to look at the rest of her companions. They were busy entertaining other guests and had no intention of going to the front door. It was obvious that they had tacitly agreed that she would be responsible for entertaining Mu Huai and his group.

She was already accustomed to this, so she could only put on a businesslike smile and greet him: "Welcome to the hostess of Abundance, Mr. Mu Huai. It's the usual four, right?"

"Yes, thank you for your help, Miss Liu."

"Okay, please follow me."

Hestia lay on Mu Huai's back like a baby bear, massaging his neck with her warm heart. "Mu Huai, why did you recommend that white-haired boy to join the Apollo family?"

"Hmm? When I recommended the Freya Familia, didn't you say he'd be eaten alive if he joined? So you recommended him to the Apollo Familia, which is open to recruitment from all of Orario."

"Well... that being said... but the Apollo Familia also has some issues..."

"what is the problem?"

"that is……"

"Ahem! Lady Hestia, Lily thinks it's best not to share this useless knowledge that will pollute Master Mu Huai."

"makes sense."

Interrupted by Lily, Hestia nodded in agreement and stopped discussing what had just happened.

After the four of them sat down and ordered their favorite dishes, Mu Huai suddenly said to Ai Si, "I will be traveling alone in the dungeon for the next two days. I won't be doing anything dangerous, I'll just be collecting some necessary materials."

She had no objection to this: "I understand. Please be careful."

"Master Mu Huai, do you need Lily to accompany you?"

"No, I can do it alone. It won't take much time anyway."

"Well, then Lily and Lady Hestia will be waiting for you at home!"

Liu, who had listened to the conversation from beginning to end, was so excited that she almost couldn't hold the tray. After half a year, she finally waited for the day when Mu Huai would act alone.

If it didn't expose her identity, she really wanted to grab his collar and yell: "Do you know how I have been living for the past six months?"

When Liu thought about going to the dungeon to play spinning tops tomorrow, the depression that had accumulated in his heart for half a year was swept away, and he even served the dishes faster.

Mu Huai's sudden decision to act alone was not to intentionally create trouble for Liu, but because he had previously entrusted the heretics to help with mining, and now there was too much ore piled up there and he needed him to take it to the blacksmith to smelt it into ingots.

He didn't plan to tell them about the existence of the heretic for the time being. Ais's character of killing anyone she saw was not suitable for contact with heretics. Even if Hestia and Lily knew about it, it would only cause them more trouble. It would be better to keep it secret for the time being.

Meanwhile, a white-haired young man, recommended by Mu Huai to join the Apollo Families, finally arrived at the magnificent Apollo Families compound after several inquiries. Embracing a yearning for adventure and heroism, he summoned up the courage to speak to the guards, "Um... my name is Bell, and I'm here to join the Apollo Families!"

"Oh?"

The guard looked at Bell and confirmed that he was most likely Apollo's type. He smiled playfully and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see the god Apollo."

"Thank you... thank you!"

Bell was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

His joining the Apollo clan went smoothly, and the clan's chief god, Apollo, was very enthusiastic towards him. He was so enthusiastic that after granting him the favor, he took the initiative to take Bell to take a bath together.

At night, Bell collapsed on the bed with powerlessness. With a sad cry, he experienced firsthand what the scorching sun sword meant.

The guard at the door held a broken daisy and shook his head, sighing, "This is the first time I've seen an idiot come to my door on his own initiative. Luckily, Apollo gave me enough money, otherwise I would really feel guilty."

……

The next day, Mu Huai left home early, and Liu, who had been lurking near his home last night, immediately followed him, excited about the upcoming revenge.

This time I will definitely wash away the past shame and let you see what "Jifeng Liang" means!

Chapter 34 The elf lady was caught again.

[My Lord, that elf lady is really persistent in following you.]

[This shows that I am very charming.]

[…Are you sure it's charm and not hatred?]

"It was just a spanking, is it necessary to hate me for half a year?"

[I heard that the elves in this world are so extreme that no one who doesn't like them has the right to touch them.]

[It's so easy, just make Liu fall in love with me! ]

Mu Huai chatted with Xiao Shinobu in his heart while hurrying on his way. He had now reached the 12th floor of the dungeon, but Liu who was following him still showed no signs of intending to take action.

He decided that if the other party was still waiting and watching when he reached the 19th floor, he would not give her a chance to sneak attack and just get rid of her, then go into the hidden fishing area to find the heretic to get the ore.

Seeing Mu Huai rushing along the way, Liu was surprised that his strength had improved so much in just half a year, so he did not launch a sneak attack on the tenth floor as planned.

Seeing that he was about to head towards the 14th floor, Liu realized that if they delayed any longer and a fight broke out between the two of them in a deeper level, accidents would easily happen. He decisively drew the katana from his waist and turned into a green gust of wind to attack him the moment he stepped half a foot into the entrance of the 14th floor.

"clang!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing with stone made Liu's pupils shrink suddenly.

This is not the reaction of someone who is completely unprepared. He has known that I was following him for a long time!

After realizing that he was likely to fall into Mu Huai's trap, Liu immediately changed his original strategy.

"Swift wind!"

With a delicate cry, a light blue breeze enveloped her, and she immediately threw two smoke bombs at Mu Huai's feet, using her rapidly increasing speed and the smoke to kick against the side wall to create distance between herself and him.

After being easily defeated by the opponent, she reviewed the battle countless times in her mind. Mu Huai had the means to make himself faster than her. It would definitely not work to retaliate against him in the same way as before.

So she deliberately added a little bit of toxic blue butterfly scale powder to the two smoke bombs. In addition to weakening Mu Huai's condition, the magic power mixed in it can also help her locate his position better.

After leaving the range of the smoke bomb, Liu held his two swords in front of him and stared at the smoke intently.

"Snapped!"

A sudden crisp sound came from behind her, and the burning pain on her butt seemed to turn into a red-hot needle, piercing Liu's confidence in her own speed and strength.

Half a year later, she saw Mu Huai tie her hands and feet with some extremely tough ropes. After the mask was removed, a ball of blue cloth was stuffed into her mouth, making her unable to utter a word. Her appearance was completely exposed in his eyes.

"Ms. Liu, we have no grudges against each other, why did you attack me?"

"Uhhhhhh!!!"

If looks could kill, Mu Huai would have been torn into pieces by Liu's angry gaze long ago.

Before Mu Huai could continue asking questions, a red lizardman walked out from the dark shadows behind him, holding a scimitar half the height of a person and slowly approaching.

"Uhhhhh!!!"

Liu was extremely anxious. She wanted to warn Mu Huai that there was a monster behind her, but her mouth was blocked and she could only make a whimpering sound that sounded like she was frustrated, while shaking her body like a fish out of water.

Idiot, you were so alert when defending against my attacks, how come you didn't notice the monster behind you at all!

"Master Mu Huai, is this your enemy?"

The sight of the lizard speaking human language and even addressing Mu Huai as "Sir" stunned Liu. His body, which had been flapping its body non-stop, stopped twisting and froze in place.

"Reid, why are you on the 13th floor?"

"Because you didn't arrive at the agreed time, Fei'er was a little worried, so she asked me to come out and look for you."

"Poachers have been appearing more and more frequently in the dungeon lately. It's best if you try to avoid the middle and upper levels."

"I know, but during this period, many of our compatriots were born into the middle and upper classes. We can't just ignore them."

"In any case, try to avoid appearing in front of adventurers during operations. You are too few in number right now. One less person means less hope for future plans."

Mu Huai rubbed his temples with a headache, then carried Liu on his shoulders and went to the heretics' residence on the 20th floor with Reed.

……

The fishing area on the 20th floor is now very different from before. After having a stable place to live, the heretics began to build houses like humans.

Half a year later, there were more than 20 small wooden houses with ethnic styles that cleverly blended into the forest environment. One of them was specially used to store the ore that Mu Huai entrusted them to mine.

"Ah! Lord Mu Huai is here!"

"It's Master Mu Huai!!"

The heretics who were in charge of guarding the entrance immediately shouted to spread the news of his arrival. Soon Mu Huai was surrounded by them. Looking around, there were more than forty heretics of various appearances.

Among them, the red-haired half-bird named "Fei'er" stepped forward with a smile: "Master Mu Huai, you are late this time."

"Sorry, I ran into a little trouble on the way."

Mu Huai laughed and casually placed Liu on his shoulder against the stone wall. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You are now poisoned by the blue butterfly's scales. Don't act rashly, or I can't guarantee your safety."

The elves' ears were extremely sensitive. When Mu Huai whispered in Liu's ear, he felt a ball of hot air rushing straight into his brain along the tip of his ear, turning his entire head into a paste. He could only nod in response with his remaining consciousness.

"Master Mu Huai, is this your enemy?"

A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the half-dragon Guros.

Mu Huai quickly waved his hands in denial: "It's not an enemy, it's just a small misunderstanding. Just send two people to watch her. Let's go check out the ore."

"Then I will be in charge of the guarding. No one else is needed to help. Reed, Fei'er, the task of entertaining Master Mu Huai is left to you."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

"Master Mu Huai, there's no need to worry about the ore. You must be thirsty after traveling all the way to the 20th floor. Come here and have some fruit first."

All the heretics had great respect for Mu Huai, the human who provided them with shelter and pointed out the direction for the future. Except for Fei'er and Reed who were with him, the rest of the heretics ran to get the best food they had collected.

Mu Huai did not refuse their kindness. After a quick taste, he started a barbecue party and used the food they brought to make mouth-watering delicacies and distributed them to others.

After dinner, Mu Huai, Reed and Fei'er sat by the campfire. He took out a bag of seeds and threw it to the former.

"Reed, here are the potato seeds on the surface. Plant them according to the farming method I taught you before. If they are successful, I will bring seeds for other crops later."

"Understood! I'll go assign the tasks right away."

Seeing this, Fei'er also stood up and said, "Master Mu Huai, let's go to the hut where the ore is stored."

"Ah."

A hint of heat flashed in Mu Huai's eyes.

I don't know how many ingots the blacksmith can smelt this time. It would be best if I could gather enough to allow Pelican Town to develop to the mid-term.

Chapter 35 Liu: Come at me head-on if you can!

Liu, who was placed near the entrance, saw with her own eyes that Mu Huai was eating and drinking with a group of monsters that could speak human language. She was very confused about this, mainly because she didn't understand how these monsters learned to speak human language and why Mu Huai got along so well with them.

In her understanding, the monsters in the dungeon are completely irrational and appear in the maze continuously, attacking adventurers indiscriminately.

But now the heretics and Mu Huai showed her a completely different way of getting along with each other, that is - coexistence.

The half-dragon Guros saw the confusion in Liu's eyes clearly. As a conservative among heretics, he still insisted that one should not communicate with others casually and should not trust humans easily.

Except for Mu Huai, the benefactor who provided them with shelter.

It was well aware that there was a deep gap between humans and heretics, a gap that could not be crossed or filled in a short period of time. More importantly, Mu Huai did not deny its conservative ideas.

"For a race to develop and survive, it must have a vigilant and wise leader. It cannot be paralyzed by the promise of present-day prosperity. It must offer a helping hand at critical moments to prevent impulsive decisions from dragging the entire race into the abyss of destruction."
