Fantasy Workshop, starting with making a Purple Mom doll

"Meow??"

…………

Shortly after Youqi used the card, a figure appeared in Ibaraki Castle. She was wearing a white dress with a green pleated skirt, a black knee-pad with a rose flower printed on the middle, and cherry-colored hair tied into buns on both sides. She had a chain on her left hand and her right hand was covered with a bandage. She had a graceful figure, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a beautiful face, as elegant as an immortal.

"Ibaraki Castle, it's been a while since I've been here."

Looking at Ibaraki Castle, the girl sighed and said, Ibaraki Castle, it has been so long since she came back to visit.

Hundreds of years?

Or thousands of years?

Or even further.

"I wonder what Ibaraki Castle is like now."

Walking on the street, she was so beautiful that she looked like an immortal, but no one around her noticed her.

"Have you heard that the owner of Youqi Pavilion might be a monster?"

While walking in Ibaraki Castle, the girl stopped on a certain street and listened.

"monster?"

"How could Young Boss Youqi be a monster? We already proved she wasn't a monster a year ago, yet people are still spreading rumors now."

"Who knows? But it's not impossible. The young boss is too versatile, and his appearance is highly consistent with the rumors."

"That's true... maybe the young boss is really the legendary monster, Ibaraki Douji."

"That's really interesting."

"Ibaraki Douji?"

Listening to the conversations around her, the girl smiled playfully.

ps: Yesterday's chapter was revised and a sentence was added, about Kailangtai temporarily going to Osaka

Gensokyo—Yukikan: Chapter 5: I am Tsukishen

Youqi Pavilion Bedroom

The blue-haired girl lay on the table, drooling from the corners of her mouth, and fell asleep soundly. It was not until the sun rose and the sunlight shone on her cheeks that her eyes blinked slightly.

"Ah woo~"

The confused Youqi took a long time to wake up. She yawned and turned her gaze to the blonde doll not far away. The doll was rough overall, but its shape could be seen. The position of the head was carefully crafted, and it looked exquisite and vivid.

Looking at the doll, Youqi couldn't help but feel a headache.

He spent most of his time last night making the puppet, but the progress was really limited. According to the current progress, even if he had the ability to adapt and could save a very troublesome process, it would still take more than ten days, which was much longer than expected. By the time it was made, he was afraid that grass would have grown on his grave.

"I underestimated the difficulty of material processing."

Youqi muttered.

With his skill level, it shouldn't be that difficult. If he put all his effort into making an ordinary doll, he could make it in a day or two. It would definitely not take him half a month. The core reason was that the material level was too high!

Yin Yang Wood (5★)

Phoenix Gold (5★)

Soul Jade Crystal (4★)

【…】

The materials for this doll were all that Youqi had accumulated over the past year. Even the hair was made of three-star material [Golden Whiskers Grass], an absolutely top-grade material. If his sister were to make it, with these materials, she would definitely be able to create a doll that rivals the Mad Rank. Moreover, it is not as simple as a beginner Mad Rank. With the control bonus, Yuyuko can fight it.

However, that is his sister, and as for himself, there is a high probability that he will be below the mad position.

Material handling is so difficult!

On the one hand, the characteristics of the material itself are difficult to control, and on the other hand, his strength. Although he is rated as lower-level fierce, in terms of physique alone, he is at most between the level of strong and strong, and is still in the human category, which is far from the material level.

According to the current progress, it would be considered fast if it could be completed in half a month. Even if it is completed, it will not be possible to bring out the full characteristics of the material.

Youqi estimated that only when she mastered the production of Rozen Maiden and improved her physical fitness to the fierce level could the value of the materials be brought into play. Unfortunately, there was no time. As long as she took action against the monsters in Ibaraki Castle, it would definitely alarm the monsters in Osaka.

"If it's not possible, make a semi-finished product first, and then do the fine processing afterwards."

Stretching her body, Youqi thought.

His ability in puppet making can save a very complicated process. It is not necessary to complete the production in one go. It is also possible to make a semi-finished product as an emergency measure and then gradually improve it later.

According to Youqi's expectation, as long as the puppet can block the fierce monsters and cooperate with other means, it can at least protect itself from Ibaraki Douji.

While thinking, Youqi left the bedroom and walked out of Youqi Pavilion.

This time it is not a routine, but a closed event.

"Young boss, are you closed today?"

Outside the door, looking at the sign that Youqi had hung saying "temporarily closed", passersby asked curiously.

"Well, there are some things I need to deal with recently, so I may have to close the business for a while."

Nodding, Youqi put on a friendly smile and said.

"That's really a shame."

Listening to Youqi's words, passers-by on the road said regretfully that according to the young boss, it might not be one or two days, but a longer time, and they didn't know if it had anything to do with the invitation from the Katagiri family.

"Little guy, I don't know what the reason for the closure is."

When Youqi was about to enter the hall, a mysterious yet gentle voice suddenly sounded, causing Youqi to pause and turn around. She didn't know when the girl with cherry hair and cherry eyes had appeared behind her, smiling and speaking. Although she was obviously a stunningly beautiful woman, she did not attract any attention from the people around her.

"...I've gotten into some trouble recently. If I come to the museum at this time, I might get implicated."

"But if it's a guest, they shouldn't be afraid of this kind of trouble."

“Welcome~”

Looking at the girl, Youqi's eyes flashed with horror, but she still maintained a friendly smile and spoke.

Strong, very strong, ridiculously strong!

Although she didn't display any aura, he had seen strong men of similar level at home and felt the same way. The girl before him was definitely the strongest person he had ever seen since arriving in the Far East!

It must be an existence above the mad position!

However, being above the level of madness also means that one's personality is unpredictable.

One careless move may lead to bigger trouble.

The smiling cherry-haired girl looked at Youqi with interest. She was cute, pretty and beautiful, combining the characteristics of both men and women. If she were an ordinary person, she might have similar thoughts after hearing the rumor. She was more like Ibaraki than Ibaraki Douji of Osaka Castle.

"I don't know what to call you?"

Guiding the cherry-haired girl into the hall of Youqi Pavilion, Youqi said with a smile.

"...I am Cihuaxian, a hermit living in the mountains."

After thinking for a while, Tsukishin said elegantly.

"Youqi, the owner of Youqi Pavilion."

"This museum sells various items and also accepts commissions for construction, medical treatment, and manufacturing."

Youqi introduced herself while thinking about the other party's name. I have never heard of it. It has not appeared in any intelligence. The only thing she is familiar with is the character "茨" which is the same as "伊竹木". She probably needs to read and write it specifically to know part of it... The premise is that it is the real name. Youqi now doubts whether it is the real name.

"Hmm, Ghost Eye Wood, Golden Stone, Vampire Fang..."

Entering the hall, Tshuaxian also looked at the goods on the surrounding counters, and a strange look flashed across his face.

Just like the little guy said, the types are really wide. Although most of them are of low level and limited value, they are distributed all over the country. There are also many things from other continents, and even things that she doesn't know about. It is not a simple task to put all these things together.

"I don't know what Miss Huaxian needs, but this is just a partial list."

Youqi said cautiously.

The items sold in Youqi Pavilion are basically drawn through lotteries. These are materials and items that are not needed by 1~3 stars. They are valuable to warriors and even some monsters, but they probably have no appeal to the one in front of him.

Today’s goal is to increase your favorability as much as possible!

"I heard the wine and food here are very good. Boss, please give me some."

After taking a quick look at the items on the counter, Tshuaxian came to the yard and said with a gleam in his eyes.

Items and props, even if their value increased dozens of times, would be of no use to her. However, she had heard about wine and food many times on the way here. Not only people, but even animals had the same comments. Compared to the props for sale, this was what she was most looking forward to!

"no problem."

Youqi said with a raised eyebrow.

Want to eat?

That would be great!!

P.S.: The contract has been signed. I wonder if this one will be worse than the last one (looking up to the sky)

Gensokyo - Yukikan: Chapter 6 If you have the guts, come find me, Yakumo Yukari

In the courtyard, Tshuaxian sat on a stone seat, staring at the cooking table with a strange light in her eyes. Although it was not yet finished, the air was filled with fragrance, which was more tempting than any food she had eaten before!

It’s worth coming here this time.

Soon, a petite blue-haired figure came to Tshuaxian with a tray on which were two sets of tableware. On the left was crispy roasted meat with fat and lean meat, sizzling with oil, and on the right was silver noodles, which were as thin as silk and as white as silver, which made people's mouths water.

"Please use."

Putting the dinner plate on the stone table, Youqi said elegantly.

"You're welcome."

Putting his hands together, Tsukishin said with sparkling eyes.

Use chopsticks to pick up a piece of grilled meat as thick as a finger. It is roasted golden all over and has an irresistible aroma. When you bite it, the crispy skin, soft and glutinous fat and lean meat with a burnt aroma stimulate your taste buds.

A mouthful of soup noodles, soft and smooth, with thin and flexible silver threads, the soup is sweet and delicious. Even Tshuatian couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy the taste.

[Ibaraki Hanafumi's favorability increased by 1, currently at 6, gaining 0 friendship points.]

Looking at the system prompts, Youqi's lips curled up slightly. The improvement was faster than he expected.

But, Ibaraki?

Ibaraki Douji?

It was impossible. He had read before that Ibaraki Douji was in Osaka Castle, and his personal bodyguard, Yuyuko, was a male monster with a wooden board embedded in his face. How could he not match the Ibaraki Hanafugi in front of him?

Could it be that it’s just a coincidence of names?

"Little guy, where's the wine!"

At the entrance of delicious food, Tsukasa Sen or Ibaraki Huashan couldn't help but say that she was sure that the food in front of her was the most delicious she had ever eaten, even more exaggerated than what was introduced outside. What about the wine and drinks, what level would it be?

She can't wait!

"What a rare guest! This is our treasure."

After hearing what Ibaraki Hanasu said, Youqi did not hesitate and directly took out the 4★ wine she had drawn yesterday. Although the item was precious, it also depended on where it was used. It would definitely be worth it to increase Ibaraki Hanasu's favorability!

The wine poured into the bowl, clear as moonlight, and the lingering aroma of the wine spread in the wind.

"Haah~"

The huge wine bowl was not much smaller than a dinner plate, but the girl drank it down in one gulp. The wine slid down the corners of her mouth and soaked her clothes. After a moment, Ibaraki Huashan put down the wine bowl, wiped the corners of her mouth, and looked at Youqi with a completely different look.

Not only the food, but the wine is also top-notch!

It would be great if her old friend was also present. That guy's cup has the effect of improving the quality of the wine. I wonder how much better it would be with the wine in front of her.

What a pity, what a pity.

While thinking about it, Ibaraki Hanasu started to enjoy it.

On the other side, Youqi didn't say anything, but just stood quietly aside, waiting for Ibaraki Huashan to finish enjoying it.

"...Huh, I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time."

For a long time, Ibaraki Hanasu's face was relaxed. Ever since she retired and began to pursue the path of immortality, her diet has been relatively simple, and most of the time it is even mainly vegetarian. The meal in front of her can be regarded as the most enjoyable one in hundreds of years.

"Tell me, little one, how can I help you?"

"However, I will spare you from killing people. I am a mountain wanderer and it is not my place to get involved in worldly disputes."
