Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

"Hululu~"

But what greeted them was the sound of Akina Sawa also fast asleep.

He lay in the rocking chair, taking advantage of the last remaining coolness of the summer morning, and fell asleep.

Nikua blinked at Akina Zeya, then turned back to continue balancing her water bottle.

Just keep it to yourself...

This morning should have been spent peacefully and quietly, like any other morning.

However, a huge object fell from the sky and landed just a few steps away from Akina Sawaya's rocking chair.

"Bang!!!" A huge sound filled the courtyard.

Akina Ze, who was on the rocking chair, was immediately awakened from his light sleep. He jumped up, grabbed the terrified Nikua, and shielded her behind him, causing the kettle to roll all over the floor.

After calming his pounding heart, Akina Ze stepped forward to see what had fallen from the sky and almost wiped out the lives of his family member and the demon.

Although I won't really die, and Niqua can be resurrected, that's just how things are.

Something with a metallic sheen appeared before his eyes.

The metal object was deeply embedded in the soil.

Akina Sawa also reached out to touch the thing, while Nikua hid in the distance, somewhat frightened.

hot.

That was Akina Sawa's first impression upon touching it, and then nothing more.

It was so hot, it felt like it had just been taken out of the oven. Akina immediately withdrew his hand and picked up the kettle from the ground, putting his hand in to cool it down.

"Sawa, Akina, I just saw something fall into your house, and I heard a loud bang. Are you alright?!"

Fujiwara no Mokou rushed in and asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, just a slight burn on my hand."

Akina Sawa also took his hand out of the kettle and shook it.

Fujiwara no Mokou breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the person was indeed alright.

Just now, she was wandering around the street when she suddenly saw a black dot flying towards the Human Village in the sky. But because she noticed it too late, or because the black dot was flying too fast, Fujiwara no Mokou didn't have time to block it.

It landed in a remote part of the human world with a loud crash.

Fujiwara no Mokou wasn't really concerned at first, since few people go to the outskirts, but looking at the approximate location of the impact, she suddenly remembered that Akina Sawaya's house seemed to be there.

My heart skipped a beat, and I rushed here without stopping, almost turning into a phoenix.

----------------------

It was already noon, so Fujiwara no Mokou decided to stay and have a free meal, and together they studied the thing that had fallen from the sky.

The huge metal object had been dug out and placed in front of the two of them.

Do you recognize this?

Akina Sawa also frowned and asked.

Fujiwara no Mokou shook her head; she had no idea what the metal block was.

However, its shape does resemble the parts that fell out of Kaguya's game console after I smashed it.

In fact, Akina Sawa had already figured out what it was, but he couldn't quite believe it.

Because he couldn't believe that there could be such a big screw in the world, and what could possibly use it!

Thinking hard.

But facts are facts, and there's no use in disbelieving them; the huge metal object now in front of the two is indeed a screw.

What used to be a tiny screw has been magnified countless times, becoming a huge shadow in Akina Zeya's heart.

A giant screw, a screw that fell from the sky, a screw that smashed open a huge crater...

Chapter 44 Giant humanoid robots are humanity's dream!

"wrench"

Sanae Higashiya was crammed into a dark and narrow corner, the air thick with the smell of engine oil.

Because the space inside was so cramped, the only source of light was the thin beam of light emanating from the flashlight held by the kappa.

"Can it be fixed?"

The kappa handed the wrench to Sanae's dark hand and said.

"Hmm..." Sanae was silent for a moment, then said, "The damaged parts aren't major problems; they can be fixed with some time, but..."

"but?"

"One of the most important parts is missing."

"You mean that part that got blown away? That screw isn't important, and we kappa can make an exact replica anytime." The kappa said dismissively.

In her view, there are as many large screws as there are, which pose no challenge for Kappa Technology.

"No, that screw is different. It's a blessed screw, the soul of the entire machine. Without it, it loses its soul, which is absolutely unacceptable!"

Sanae Kouchi emerged from the cramped space, her face smeared with black engine oil. Not only her face, but also her hands and even her work clothes were covered in black patches, making her look filthy.

But even so, Sanae Kochiya, gripping a wrench tightly, looked at the kappa with a serious expression.

"Fine, fine, I'm really fed up with you."

The kappa, who had been stared at intently by Sanae's emerald green eyes, waved its hand as if giving up on something and said.

The rising sun illuminated the construction site hidden in the mountains.

As the sun gradually rose, a giant humanoid robot in the valley was gradually covered with a shell coated by sunlight, so much so that it could be described as glittering gold.

Because this giant humanoid robot has many gold areas on its exterior, these are remnants from when the Kappa and Suwako Moriya built it.

This giant humanoid robot was originally built for a gathering; it had no artificial intelligence and was just an empty shell.

But it was just a giant humanoid robot with an empty shell that Sanae took a liking to at first sight. Every day she would stare at it intently, hoping to transform it into a real giant humanoid robot and stand on its head.

This behavior of Sanae Kochiya caught the attention of another deity enshrined at the Moriya Shrine, Kanako Yasaka.

"Do you want it to be a real robot?"

That day, Kanako Yasaka stood behind Sanae Kochiya and looked up at the golden, empty doll, asking a question.

"Of course! Giant humanoid robots are humanity's dream!"

Sanae Kochiya turned around, her eyes revealing an unprecedented determination. Although she was facing her beloved elders and the gods she worshipped, Sanae did not flinch in the slightest.

The shadow of a giant golden doll gradually rose from behind Sanae, as if the giant humanoid robot behind her was also expressing its will.

"Hahaha! Humans are really interesting!"

Kanako Yasaka pulled Sanae into her arms and burst into laughter.

"Eh???"

Sanae, on the other hand, was somewhat flustered, and was suddenly hugged by Yasaka Kanako.

"From today onwards, I'll teach you how to give a giant humanoid robot a soul. You'd better learn!"

Kanako Yasaka patted Sanae on the back.

"Thank you, Kanako-sama!" Sanae Kochiya was overjoyed, unable to contain her excitement.

Not far away, a petite figure watched this scene unfold, then turned and left, a slight smile playing on her lips...

From that day on, under the tutelage of Kanako Yasaka, the giant humanoid robot was gradually transformed by Sanae Kochiya into an existence that even a kappa couldn't understand, though its appearance remained unchanged.

Because this appearance was chosen by Suwako Moriya from the beginning...

Time passed, and with the great help of the kappa laborers, the giant humanoid robot was initially modified. To express her gratitude, Sanae Kochiya bought some watermelons to thank these selfless kappa.

Because the giant humanoid robot originally used nuclear energy, it saved a lot of effort.

Today, the giant humanoid robot's first awakening was scheduled for sunrise. This was chosen by Sanae herself, who hoped that a miracle would occur at this special time, allowing it to be successfully awakened.

As for what happened next, there's no need to go into details. The miracle didn't happen. Although she had the ability to trigger miracles, this time the miracle didn't favor her.

As Sanae pressed the button, the giant humanoid robot vibrated for a moment before coming to a stop, and then a plume of black smoke quickly rose from the robot's core.

Before the kappa waiting nearby could begin emergency response, an explosion occurred. Fortunately, it was a small explosion that did not damage the facilities, only destroying the lower body of the giant humanoid robot.

Unfortunately, one of the most important parts was blown away. This part was a giant screw that Kanako Yasaka had personally placed there.

When Yasaka Kanako placed it there, she looked very serious and said something that Kochiya Sanae still remembers clearly.

“Every giant humanoid robot possesses a soul. Their souls are visible, tangible, and identifiable. Many giant humanoid robots have chosen drills as the place to preserve their souls,” Kanako Yasaka glanced at Sanae, patted her head, and continued, “Gensokyo is a peaceful and harmonious place. Using a drill would disrupt this peace, so I chose screws, which also have spirals, as the place to preserve their souls.”

Sanae Kochiya nodded as if she understood, though she was a little disappointed that she couldn't install the impressive-looking drill. But she wasn't too upset, after all, the stars of Gensokyo weren't enemies, and she didn't need to break through the sky.

But even such a screw was blown away, flying off without a trace.

Sanae Kochiya climbed down from the shelf, somewhat dejected.

"I've even thought of a name for it, I'm just waiting for it to start up..."

Can you tell me its name?

A petite little girl walked in from outside.

"Lord Suwako..."

Looking at the petite loli in front of her, Sanae Kochiya's eyes seemed to well up with tears.

The Suwako who looks like a little girl is actually a deity enshrined at the Moriya Shrine, and has lived for an unknown number of years.

She was an indigenous goddess, unlike Kanako, a former deity of Takamagahara. She knew how to comfort a heartbroken child.

"Come here~"

The little girl opened her arms, a heartwarming smile on her face.

"You can cry in my arms too~"

"Wow!"

For some reason, Sanae Kochiya suddenly grabbed Suwako tightly and rubbed her face against hers.

"Suwako-sama is so cute!!!"

"Huh?" Suwako Moriya was stunned and let herself be hugged for a moment.

This is a script messed up! Shouldn't she be radiating maternal warmth to comfort Sanae? How did it turn out like this?!

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, a laugh came from outside the wall, but the two people who were embracing did not notice it. Then, a figure quietly left.

......

Chapter 45 Quiet Tea Making Machine

Would you like a cup of tea?

Akina Sawa also walked over to Shameimaru Aya with a cup of tea and handed it to her.

The tea leaves were grown by Akina Sawa himself and then taken out of the tea-making machine that the system recently updated. By the way, the tea-making machine is very quiet when it is working, and it doesn't look like anything is being made inside.

Although he himself felt it was a bit far-fetched that this could produce drinkable tea, it was not incomprehensible if one viewed the tea-making machine as a black box.

Moreover, the tea made by this tea-making machine tastes even better than tea made by hand, so Akina Ze has even less reason not to use it.

"OK, thanks"

Aya Shameimaru didn't stand on ceremony and took a sip.

To be honest, Aya Shameimaru had used up a lot of energy on her way here, and her mouth was dry, so a cup of tea would be just what she needed to quench her thirst.

Originally thinking today would be another boring and tedious day, Aya Shameimaru even planned to randomly compile some of the materials she had collected today to make it the headline of tomorrow's newspaper.

For example, miscellaneous and boring things like how many bowls of offal soup ingredients Fujiwara no Mokou and Houraisan Kaguya can produce today, revealing the truth behind Inaba Tei's act of pretending to be young, and statistics on how much money Iokami Shion gained and lost today.

However, with such a big news story, let's leave it for the front page headline, but Aya Shameimaru doesn't intend to give up on the trivial matters either, leaving the corners of the newspaper for them.
