Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

"My name is Thorn Rose. I am not here to fight, but to convey the King's will."

"The King's will? Don't talk nonsense. If you have the guts, take my kick first."

"The King said, 'If you wish to find the heroine, then overcome the trials and come before me.'"

Mu Huai's thumb hovered over the number "5" but hesitated to press it. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the calm and unhurried man. "What is the content of the trial?"

"Of course, that's what you've been doing all along, defeating us."

"Okay, I accept this challenge!"

"The king will definitely be happy. See you later."

The thorn rose turned into a shadow and disappeared in front of the two people. Baoduo Rikka asked worriedly: "Mu Huai, this is not a trap set by the monsters, right?"

"Whether it's a trap or not, since the heroine is mentioned, I need to find out."

Mu Huai was not a person who was good at strategy, or rather, he would have used his brain to think about strategy, but since he became an online friend with Kaguya Houraisan, he became a reckless man who only cared about killing monsters and charging forward, leaving all the thinking-intensive things in the game to her.

It can be said that Kaguya should bear the main responsibility for his reckless character when he disagrees with something.

"Is the heroine...important to you?"

"It's quite important. After all, it concerns whether I can return to Gensokyo."

Mu Huai did not say the second half of the sentence, otherwise wouldn't it confirm his identity as an alien?

Hearing the answer, Rika Takarada felt a pang of pain in her heart. She knew that she liked Mu Huai but it seemed that he didn't like her, or he already had someone he liked in his heart.

Mu Huai didn't notice anything wrong with his words, but he thought it was strange that Baoduo Rikka suddenly fell silent. He turned around and saw her calmly scrolling through her phone screen. "I'll help you find some clues online."

"Well, please."

"Is it my illusion?" he muttered softly.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, just go back to your house. I still owe you a lot of money!"

Is this the reason why you try so hard to protect me?

A trace of sadness flashed in Rika Hokuta's eyes, and her eyelashes drove away this emotion from her eyes like wipers, burying it deep in her heart.

Chapter 17 What is this switch? Press it

Girls are always very sensitive when it comes to love, and their moods are as unpredictable as a barometer that changes all the time.

Rika Takarada was unhappy because Mu Huai only protected her out of debt. Looking at the boring black sky and noisy drizzle outside the window, she sighed heavily and decided to skip class today.

After sending a text message to Namiko and Lian saying "I'm not in the mood to go to school today", Takarada Rikka took her umbrella and schoolbag and walked out of the house.

"Even the air is so unpleasant... Tsk, let's go to the game hall for a while."

She turned around and walked in the opposite direction of her way to school. She didn't take the bus or go to the subway station, but just walked in the rain that annoyed her with an umbrella.

There were few pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, there were a few people hurrying by, all wrapped tightly in their coats, holding umbrellas and lowering their heads, as if unwilling to face the cold weather.

Their footsteps sounded particularly dull in the rain, as if echoing in a suffocating, narrow space.

Baoduo Rikka passed by a small pond, and what was reflected in it was Mu Huai's face that made her angry.

"Clap!"

The black round-toed leather shoes mercilessly shattered the "mirror". Takarada Rikka made a sound of complaint, and instead of feeling happy, she became even more annoyed.

"He clearly doesn't have that intention towards me, so why are his actions and tone so easily misunderstood? Is he the legendary central air conditioner, blowing warm air at everyone?"

She muttered all the way to the game hall. The rain had soaked her shoes and socks because she had stepped into all the puddles on the way there.

After exchanging some game coins, Takarada Rikka chose a fighting game that she would never try with Namiko and the others on weekdays. She needed to vent her pent-up resentment in this way.

This type of game console has two modes, one is the story mode where you play against the computer, and the other is the PVP mode where you play against real people.

Takarada Rikka had never played this kind of game before. She came here to vent rather than seek abuse, so she chose the story mode.

There aren't many students in the arcade on school days; most people there are young people from society and gamblers who are addicted to gambling machines, commonly known as "small steel balls" and pachinko.

The sound of Rikka Takanashi shaking the joystick and tapping the buttons quickly attracted the attention of these people. A high school girl full of youthfulness skipped classes and came to the game hall. This discovery made the dirty desires in many people's hearts begin to stir.

However, most people did not dare to act rashly. After all, if the other party accused them of being molesters and called the police, they would be in trouble no matter what.

The bad guy, who had become bolder and bolder, winked at his friends beside him, and then walked towards Takarada Rikka together.

"Hey~ little sister, are you playing here alone?"

"Come play with us too."

Rika Takarada glanced at the three bad guys walking towards her, feeling a little flustered, but she still kept an expressionless face and ignored them.

Seeing that she didn't answer, the leading bad guy was choked up and didn't know what to say for a moment. The teasing looks and laughter of his friends behind him made him feel very embarrassed, and his face was burning with pain.

He was so angry that he didn't care whether Takarada Rikka would call the police or not. He grabbed her shoulder and said, "I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

When Bad Boy's hand was halfway extended, it was suddenly grabbed by a hand from the side. He looked at the handsome boy in school uniform in front of him and thought he was a little boy who was going to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.

After being looked down upon time and time again, he felt that he had to teach these two students a lesson. He threatened them with a slanted glance, "You little..."

Boom!

Bang!

"Ouch!"

Mu Huai completely ignored the three delinquents lying on the ground, clutching their crotches and wailing. He turned to look at the frightened Takarada Rikka, and the coldness in his black pupils instantly disappeared: "Rikka, at least bring me as your bodyguard when you go out to play. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you encounter flies like this."

"How...how did you find me?"

"You didn't come to school and didn't answer my calls, so I had to ask Namiko-san. She said you don't like rainy days, so you're probably in the game room or indoors."

Takarada Rikka looked at the soaked Mu Huai, her eyes wide in disbelief. "You...went to each arcade in the rain looking for me?"

"Well, after all, I'm not very familiar with the game halls around here, and I don't know which one you often go to."

“Ah!!!” Takarada Rikka suddenly let out a speechless growl, ruffling her hair with her left hand. “What the hell is wrong with you!?”

"Ah?" Mu Huai looked at her in confusion: "I'm just worried about you..."

"I've been in a bad mood these past two days, so I wanted to skip classes and go out and play."

"Oh, so it's those days of each month..."

"certainly not!!"

Rika Baoduo stood up in shame and anger. She really didn't know what the structure of Mu Huai's brain was. He could actually think of this. She grabbed Mu Huai's wrist and pulled him out of the game hall.

"Rikka? Where are we going?"

"Find a place to dry your clothes, or you'll catch a cold if you keep going like this!"

"Oh."

Mu Huai originally thought that Baoduo Rikka would take him to his home or back to her own home, but he never expected that she would actually drag him into a hotel above a barber shop.

"Sister Qingshan, please help me get a room."

"Rikka, you're such a rare visitor. Are you skipping class again?"

"This idiot got soaked trying to find me. I'll find a place to dry his clothes." Takarada Rikka didn't know why she said the first half of the sentence. She only needed to say that he was wet in the rain to dry his clothes.

But after she said it, she felt much happier, or rather, so happy that she almost jumped up.

"Wow~ That's really youthful. Here's the room card, room 1303."

"Thank you."

Entering the room, Baoduo Liuhua pushed Mu Huai directly into the bathroom: "Hurry up and take a shower, and put all the clothes in the dryer to dry."

Seeing Mu Huai's hesitant expression, she added, "If you have any questions, wait until I finish taking a shower!"

"it is good."

"Huh~" Takarada Rikka breathed a sigh of relief when she sat on the soft bed. At that time, her mind was full of thoughts about not letting Mu Huai catch a cold, so she subconsciously chose this hotel where she had acquaintances.

"Hey, what kind of switch is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

After relaxing, she soon noticed an independent switch next to the bedside table with no function indicated. Driven by curiosity, she reached out and pressed the switch.

"Click."

There was no change in the room, not even the lighting.

"Strange... Is he just pretending... pretending..."

The bathroom wall that originally faced the bed suddenly became transparent. Takarada Rikka stared in amazement at Mu Huai who was facing her and washing the foam with his head tilted back.

"Gudu!"

She suddenly felt that she seemed to be becoming addicted to male beauty.

PS: Thanks to @zksnna for the blade

Is Chapter 18 good to watch?

Rika Takarada felt her breathing was trembling, and her eyes seemed to be firmly grasped by an invisible hand, unable to move her gaze away from Mu Huai's seductive body.

As the white foam flowed down the water and disappeared into the floor drain, the last bit of covering on Mu Huai's body also disappeared.

"Woo!"

Rika Takarada whimpered shyly, clutching the bed sheet tightly with both hands to prevent herself from sliding to the ground. She finally understood that this was the legendary one-way dimming glass installed in the couple's hotel.

Just turn on the switch and you can have an unobstructed view of the beautiful scenery in the bathroom.

Mu Huai obviously didn't know that he was being spied on by Rika Takarada. After washing his hair, he turned around to squeeze out the shower gel.

"Gudu~"

Takarada Rikka once again swallowed the saliva that kept secreting from her mouth. Her dry mouth and tongue made her need to repeat this action over and over again. She knew that this was very impolite, but she still couldn't resist.

In her eyes, Mu Huai's body was full of strength and beauty. His muscles were not the explosive bulky ones, but the perfect and natural proportions. The knife-like mermaid line when he turned around made her want to reach out and touch it.

"Chiliu~"

After quickly wiping the glistening saliva from the corner of her mouth with a tissue, Takarada Rikka slowly reached into her skirt, then took out her cell phone and took several photos and a short video with a sense of guilt and remorse.

After doing this, she quickly put away her phone, turned off the switch of the one-way dimming glass, walked to the window and pushed it open. The cool breeze quickly lifted the temperature and blush from her cheeks.

"No...it's okay, I'm just keeping it for myself...I won't tell anyone else!"

Just as she was finding a good excuse for her actions, Mu Huai came out in a bathrobe. He put a towel on his shoulders and said cheerfully, "Last time you wore the bathrobe, this time it's my turn."

"Hmm..." Takarada Rikka nodded calmly, and walked stiffly to the locker where the hair dryer was placed: "Let's blow dry my hair first."

"Thank you." Mu Huai took the hair dryer she handed him, and then asked her questions while drying her hair.

It turns out that Takarada Rikka used to be a model at the "Aoyama Barber Shop" downstairs, and the owner of the hotel upstairs was also the owner of the barber shop. Occasionally, when she skipped classes and didn't want to go anywhere else, she would come here, rent a room, and spend the day lazily lying down.

That's why she was able to book a room in the hotel so easily. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two of them to do so based on their status as high school students, and it is very likely that the education supervisor would be notified to come over.

"So you were a model before, that's amazing."

"It's just so-so. I just did some hairstyles for photos." Takarada Rika pursed her lips to prevent the corners of her mouth from rising.

Mu Huai wanted to continue the conversation and chat about something else, but he accidentally noticed that the red socks on Takarada Rikka were very dark in color, obviously because they were wet.

Without thinking much about it, he said to her, "Wait here," and rushed out of the room in his bathrobe.

"Hey! Don't go out dressed like that. What if Sister Aoyama misunderstands you?" Obviously, Takarada Rika's words could not reach Mu Huai's ears who was leaving, so she had to wait patiently for him to come back.

In less than a minute, Mu Huai came back with a wooden basin.

Baoduo Liuhua frowned: "Mu Huai, what are you doing with this?"

He answered her as a matter of course: "I'm going to soak your feet. Your shoes and socks are soaked. Go sit on the bed quickly. I'll get a basin of hot water."

"oh oh."

Rika Baoduo took off her shoes and socks and sat on the edge of the bed. When she thought about how much Mu Huai cared about her and she had just been taking pictures of him, she became restless.

Mu Huai quickly brought out the hot water. Rika Baoduo looked at the steam rising from the wooden basin. Although she had not yet soaked her cold feet in the hot water, her heart was warmed by his actions.

She lifted her thighs, and her toes, as white and tender as bamboo shoots, lightly touched the water surface before quickly withdrawing them. Then she tilted her head to stare at the wall and said slowly, "Mu Huai, my feet are too cold to put them in. The water is a little too hot. How about...can you help me?"

Mu Huai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed without thinking: "No problem."
