Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

"Ah~ there's a banquet later, I can't stay watching for too long."

Sitting behind her desk, Motoi Kosuzu stretched. Although she was used to spending all her time reading in the shop, she was still a little tired.

So, when Akina Sawa came to the store last time to look for information on Mao Tama, Motoori Kosuzu insisted that he take her with him to catch Mao Tama. Since she rarely went out, Motoori Kosuzu valued the occasional opportunity to go out and search for information.

As everyone knows, Reimu Hakurei saved Sawaya Akina, who had been knocked unconscious by Motama, and Kosuzu Motoori was persuaded to go home.

Just as Motoori Kosuzu was about to close the book of demons and head to Akina Sawaya's house for a party.

An unexpected event occurred! Motoori Kosuzu's hand was stuck to the Demon Book and she couldn't pull it away; the pages turned on their own without any wind.

The book of demons wasn't thick; it was flipped through in just a few seconds, and Motoori Kosuzu also finished reading its contents.

From the pages of the book, a wisp of purple smoke drifted out and transformed into a cute little animal.

"Wow! So cute!"

The little animal that had crawled out of the demon book had a coat of fluffy white fur, red eyes like red beans, and two tails growing out of its ears. It was a perfect strike for Motoori Kosuzu.

"Can you see me, young girl?"

"Of course I see you. Who are you?"

As a curious human and a little girl who loves cute animals, I wondered why these monsters' voices were echoing in my head, but who cares!

Motoori Kozue picked up the small animal from the ground and cuddled it in her arms.

"No signals from other companions were detected."

The fluffy white animal lay comfortably in the girl's arms, enjoying her massage, while also surveying its surroundings.

There was no signal from the witch detected. It seemed that the only option was to start with the girl in front of him. Kyubey looked at the human in front of him with his red eyes.

"My name is Kyubey. Would you like to make a contract with me and become a magical girl?"

Chapter Twenty-Six: What Did Huiyin Do?

"Huh? Magical girl? Like Marisa, a magician?"

Kyubey's words puzzled Motoori Kosuzu; she'd never heard of the term "magical girl."

As a native of the Human Village, Motoori Kosuzu had only ever heard of the professions of shrine maiden and magician.

As for the term "magical girl," why is magic associated with girls?

"It's a magical girl, or you can think of her as a sorcerer, and she can even grant one wish!"

"Kubie licked his fur and said."

"Can your wish be granted?"

"Yes, it can grant wishes. As long as you sign a contract, your wish can be fulfilled."

"That's right"

Motoori Kosuzu slowed down the pace of stroking Kyubey, indicating that she was genuinely considering it.

What wish do I want to have? I wish to Cupid for more interesting books so I can read them from morning till night?

No, no, I can't even finish reading all the books I have now. Wouldn't it be a waste to have more books that I can't read?

After thinking it over and over, Motoori Kosuzu couldn't come up with any wish she wanted Kyubey to fulfill.

Actually, Motoori Kosuzu never intended to sign a contract with Kyubey in the first place. After all, she had quite a lot of contact with yokai, and she wouldn't do something as dangerous as signing a contract with a yokai.

But looking at the fluffy, white, adorable little animal, Motoori Suzu didn't want to make it sad, so she thought about the wish she wanted to fulfill, even though she hadn't thought of it.

By the way, what race is Kyubey? Are there any other races in Gensokyo?

Motoori Kosuzu, naturally curious, was rubbing the little Kyubey in her arms when she suddenly thought of something.

"Kyubi, what race are you? Are there any other Kyubeys like you in Gensokyo?"

"Koobi is just Kewpie."

However, Motoori Kosuzu is now bursting with curiosity, and Kyubey's explanation clearly cannot satisfy her, so she came up with an idea.

Show the Cupid to Teacher Huiyin!

Motoori Kosui knew who Keion-sensei was, and she believed that if it was Keion-sensei, she could definitely see what Kyubey really was.

Without further ado, Motoori Kosuzu immediately decided to head to the temple school.

The moon is full tonight, and even though it's late, the roads in the village are still clearly visible under its light.

Under the moonlight, Motoori Kosuzu quickly arrived at the temple school. The temple school was a bit strange today. Usually, there would be small insects chirping around at night, but there were none today.

The temple was quiet today, and even the usually noisy Fujiwara no Mokou was nowhere to be seen.

But Motoori Kosuzu couldn't care less about that; her intense thirst for knowledge urged her on, causing her to ignore these absurdities.

Snapped!

"Teacher Huiyin!"

Motoori Korin opened the door of the temple house with a snap and called out the name of Teacher Keine.

"Ok?"

A woman with horns on her head and red eyes looked over with an imposing aura.

Oh no! I forgot it's a full moon today!

Motoori Kosuzu remembered something she shouldn't have forgotten. Quickly think of any way to make amends!

"Teacher Huiyin, please listen to me!"

However, the imposing woman in front of them seemed to know what had happened just by glancing at the combination of Motoori Kosuzu and Kyubey.

Before Motoori Kosuzu could continue speaking, a headbutt came flying at her.

Motoori Kosuzu suddenly blacked out and collapsed to the ground. She had no idea what happened after that, only that when she woke up she had missed the banquet and Kyubey, who had come with her, was gone.

I initially wanted to blame Teacher Huiyin, but then I remembered that I was the one who visited her on the night of the full moon, so I couldn't completely blame her.

Moreover, when I asked Teacher Huiyin about what happened after I fainted, she just shook her head and wouldn't tell me.

Overwhelmed by curiosity, Motoori Kosuzu is unable to satisfy her curiosity, which makes her very uncomfortable.

Today I invited Hieda no Akyuu to ask her if she knew anything about Kyubey, but she replied that she didn't know either. Keine-sensei and Hieda no Akyuu are the most knowledgeable people she knows. Keine-sensei won't tell me, and Hieda no Akyuu doesn't know either, so it seems I'll have to give up on finding out what Kyubey really is.

So, looking at Akina Sawaya who was asking him questions, how could he briefly describe what happened that night?

I fainted.

"What?"

Akina Sawa also showed an expression of disbelief, after all, in his view, Motoori Korin in front of him was lively and energetic and did not look weak at all.

"I fainted that night, so I couldn't attend your party. I'm so sorry."

"You fainted! How are you feeling?"

Upon realizing that he hadn't misheard but had actually fainted, Akina Sawa quickly rushed over to check on him with concern.

"I'm fine"

Although she took a blow to the head from Teacher Huiyin, Teacher Huiyin in her Bai Ze form was still careful with her strength, only using the force that made her faint.

"Alright, it's good that you're alright. I don't need to go to that banquet."

Upon hearing that Motoori Kosuzu was alright, Akina Sawa breathed a sigh of relief. He certainly didn't want to know what illness this adorable girl in front of him had.

"That's settled then. I need to go buy some chicks, so I'll be going now."

After learning that Motoori Kosuzu was unable to come because she had fainted, Akina Sawa happily said goodbye.

Akina Sawa was happy, but Motoori Kosuzu was still depressed. Where did Kyubey go?

……

After leaving the market in the village of humans, it was past lunchtime. Akina Zeya was carrying a basket with two fledgling chicks still covered in down.

Originally, he planned to go back like this, but when he saw Mokou still patrolling not far away, Akina Sawa decided to go over and say hello.

However, before they even reached Akina Sawa or Fujiwara no Mokou, the two little chicks in the basket started chirping loudly.

"It's Akina-kun."

Fujiwara no Mokou, hearing the chirping of the chicks, turned around and saw Akina Sawaya.

"Miss Mokou, did you enjoy the food at the banquet?"

"Okay, but don't call me next time Kaguya goes to Houraisan."

"Does Miss Mokou and Miss Kaguya have a grudge?"

Upon hearing Akina Sawaya's question, Fujiwara no Mokou shook her head: "Don't ask too many questions about this. Just remember this."

Akina Sawa nodded as if he understood, then turned and left. However, the chicks in the basket kept chirping until they were far away from Mokou.

……

After walking for a while, Akina Sawa returned home.

Because the two chicks are still small, he plans to build a temporary chicken coop in the house to house them.

There aren't many entertainment options in the Human Village at night, and most of them cost money. Akina Sawa has already used all the money he earned from fishing these past few days to buy chicks. If it weren't for the appearance of mermaids, he could have caught even more fish.

But saying more won't change anything; the money is gone, and looking at the bustling night market will only add to the sadness.

Let's just sleep like this tonight...

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Construction of the Chicken Coop

"From today onwards, you are part of our family."

Akina Ze also took out two chicks with yellow downy feathers from the makeshift chicken coop.

They were placed in the yard, which was already closed. Since they were still chicks, Akina Ze didn't think their beaks would harm the grapevines that were almost fully grown, so he let them roam freely in the yard.

Now, it's time to go build a home for the chicks.

Akina Ze didn't plan to just build a small fence to keep the chickens in; he planned to build a small hut, like a doghouse, for the chickens to live in.

In Akina Zeya's memory, a doghouse was made of just three wooden planks.

First, place two planks side by side close to the wall, then place another plank on top of the two planks. This completes part of the chicken coop.

Finally, line the inside with some dry hay, and the suitable living environment for the chicks is complete.

Fortunately, it's springtime now and not as cold as winter. If we spread out more hay, the chicks won't be cold.

That's the plan, and Akina Sawa is ready to make his move.

He picked up the axe and began chopping at the leftover wood from building the grape trellis. Thanks to the hard work he had done in Gensokyo these past few days, Akina Sawa chopped wood effortlessly and quickly finished the planks needed to build the chicken coop.

Just as Akina Sawa was also planning to choose a good place to build a chicken coop.

An uninvited guest has arrived; Cirno, that mischievous ice spirit, is here again.

Akina Sawa originally planned to invite Cirno, Daijou, and several other fairies to the last banquet, but unexpectedly, he couldn't find a single fairy; they all appeared and disappeared without a trace.

They suddenly appear when you don't want to see them, but disappear one by one when you need to find them.

Looking at Cirno's little head bobbing left and right in front of him, he wondered what she was thinking.

Of course, Akina Sawa wasn't interested in thinking about what the fairy was thinking; it was probably just some nonsensical idea.

"Hey, what are you doing?"
