Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

Chapter 44 Patchouli's Brewing Magic

"Patchouli, is the brewing magic ready?"

Once the young lady has made up her mind, even Sakuya can't change it. With no other option, Sakuya can only go to the underground library and ask Patchouli to brew some wine.

Originally, Patchouli was asked to prepare a brewing magic to surprise the young lady. Unexpectedly, the young lady herself asked Patchouli to brew the wine. Although this is quite different from the plan, the overall situation remains the same. Although she can no longer give the young lady a surprise, the loyal head maid is already satisfied as long as the young lady gets what she wants.

"It's probably a lucky accident," Izayoi Sakuya shook her head and looked at Patchouli.

"Oh! I see. So you came to talk to me about winemaking that day."

Patchouli's sudden realization made Sakuya Izayoi uneasy.

Sakuya Izayoi said in disbelief, "Could it be that you've forgotten!?"

"It's all that black and white rat's fault; I forgot about brewing the wine. Sorry."

Patchouli responded to this with embarrassment.

"But don't worry, it's just brewing wine, I can manage that."

Patchouli stood up from the chair in the center of the library, closed the book on the table, and turned to the head maid beside her in a low voice.

"Let's go, Sakuya. That expression doesn't match the dashing head maid Remy sees you for."

"Um"

Sakuya Izayoi nodded, composed herself, and set off with Patchouli.

Actually, Sakuya Izayoi wasn't in a bad mood because she was about to be scolded by Remilia, but because the young lady wanted to drink red wine, and she couldn't serve it to her.

But there's no other way now, we can only trust Patchouli.

However, judging from Patchouli's calm and composed demeanor, she must be very confident.

This reassured Sakuya Izayoi, filling her with confidence about what was about to happen.

In fact.

So tired~

Looking at the winding staircases leading up to her, Patchouli began to hate herself for building the library so deep inside.

Patchouli originally planned to fly up, but Sakuya was still there, so for the sake of saving face, she had no choice but to walk up.

……

Meanwhile, Remilia was getting impatient.

"So slow! Why are Sakuya and Patchouli so slow?"

Remilia sat in her chair, listlessly eating the grapes on her plate. Although the grapes were meant to be used to make wine, she just couldn't stop.

With this thought in mind, Remilia devoured plate after plate of grapes, thinking, "Let me eat one last one before Sakuya comes back."

Oh right, Fran hasn't eaten any grapes yet, has she? I'll ask Sakuya to bring her a bunch later.

While waiting for Sakuya and Patchouli to arrive, Remilia's mind wandered and she thought about many things.

Remilia was so bored that she became slightly interested in the relaxed man in front of her who was completely unafraid of being a vampire.

"How did you manage to grow grapes in February, Akina Zeya?"

Although the maid and the gatekeeper named Hong Meiling seemed to respect the lovely lady in front of them, Akina Sawa didn't really show her any respect.

After all, he only saw the image of a child and had no understanding of Remilia, so there was no respect for her.

Furthermore, he wasn't afraid of the youkai in Gensokyo, so Akina Sawa actually treated Remilia, who was just a vampire, as an equal, just like a little sister next door.

Remilia rested her chin on her hands on the table, looking at Akina Zeya with her wine-red eyes, waiting for his response.

"This is actually due to my abilities."

Akina Sawa scratched his head. He felt it wasn't good for others to know that he had a system. He figured it would be better to just describe the system as his ability. Although from another perspective, the system was indeed his ability, he didn't like anything that was sensational.

"Oh? So you're a human who can accelerate plant growth?"

"Yes"

Akina Sawa also nodded in agreement.

Using the ability to accelerate plant growth as a cover-up can be convincing.

This unassuming person in front of me actually has the ability to accelerate plant growth. If I let him work at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, wouldn't I be able to see flowers blooming every day?

But Remilia rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind. There were no men in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and if a man suddenly came, Sakuya probably wouldn't be used to it.

Remilia was tired from thinking too much. It was still daytime and she should have been resting, but she heard from the fairies that an ordinary human had come to the mansion. Humans rarely came to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and Remilia thought that this was to spread her majestic image to the human village, so she forced herself to get up.

But the human in front of her was not afraid of her at all, and even offered her delicious grapes. In order to show the generosity and majesty of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, she specially asked Patchouli to make a magical wine.

Now I just hope that Patchouli can use magic to intimidate this guy named Akina Sawaya.

So, why haven't they arrived yet!

Remilia wanted to go find the two of them herself, but since Akina Sawa was still there, she could only wait.

Click!

The side door opened, and Patchouli and Sakuya Izayoi, who was following behind, came out.

"You are finally here!"

Remilia was pleasantly surprised and wanted to stand up from her chair, but halfway up she remembered that there were other people present. For the sake of her dignity, she sat back down and lowered her voice to speak.

"Ahem, Patchouli, you used magic to turn the grapes in that cart over there into a bar. Although I prefer black tea, it's nice to have some alcohol once in a while."

"No, let me rest first."

Patchouli, who had just arrived, collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted. She felt that the walk she had just taken was equivalent to a year's worth of exercise.

This was the first time Akina Sawa had seen Patchouli. The purple-haired beauty, wearing a light pink nightgown (?), was sprawled out on the sofa in front of him without any regard for her image.

"cough cough"

Sakuya Izayoi coughed twice silently to remind Patchouli.

Exhausted and seeing stars, Patchouli barely opened her eyes and found a man sitting opposite her.

A surge of power appeared from nowhere, and Patchouli sat up abruptly. Although she was a witch, she still had to maintain an image in front of outsiders.

"Patchouli, are you ready?" Remilia asked, sitting in the main seat.

“Ready,” Patchouli nodded in response.

Seeing that Patchouli was ready, Remilia turned to look at Akina Zeya, her canine teeth gleaming coldly under the light.

"Now I'll show you the power of the Scarlet Devil Mansion! Tremble, mortals!"

Sakuya Izayoi, standing to the side, covered her forehead with one hand, unable to bear watching. The young lady's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) had flared up again.

Patchouli reached out, and all the grapes in the basket floated into the air, just as she was about to take further action.

"Wait! Leave a bunch of grapes behind."

Remilia interrupted her because she had forgotten to leave grapes for Flandre.

Patchouli shook her head, leaving a bunch of grapes floating in the air that flew to Remilia's side.

Flandre, I've saved you a bunch of delicious grapes, and she plans to personally deliver them to the second young lady.

Seeing that the young lady made no other move, Patchouli began to cast her spell.

According to Patchouli's knowledge of winemaking, the grapes should be crushed first.

So, the grapes floating in the air suddenly burst open, and the pulp was crushed and squeezed out juice.

Patchouli placed the squeezed grape pulp aside, and now a large ball of water filled with grape juice floated in the air.

Akina Sawa was also staring intently at the water sphere.

Remilia noticed Akina Zeya's actions, and a smile curved her lips, revealing a small canine tooth.

Patchouli, you did a great job! You restored the Scarlet Devil Mansion's dignity.

Then, Remilia waited for Patchouli to make her next move.

But Patchouli was about to collapse. She had walked too far and was exhausted. In addition, this magic required a lot of physical strength, and Patchouli was anemic to begin with, so she was about to give up.

But you can't!

Seeing Remilia's expectant eyes, Patchouli was determined to complete the magic.

Patchouli waved her hand, and the water sphere in the air began to move.

The next second, the water sphere suddenly exploded.

Patchouli collapsed to the ground.

Remilia and Akina Zeya were both stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Then Remilia instinctively covered her head with her hands and crouched down to defend herself, while Akina Ze, who was standing next to her, almost popped his eyes out.

He only saw a blur before Remilia crouched on the ground, but water seeps in everywhere, and crouching on the ground with his hands was useless.

"The World"!

At the crucial moment, a voice rang out.

Akina Ze only felt the scenery change before his eyes, and he was far away from the place that had been affected by the water balloon.

Turning my head, I saw that Patchouli and Remilia were the same.

This can be considered a failure, right?

Akina Sawa scratched his head; the current situation was quite awkward.

The owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion planned to give back a bottle of magically brewed wine, but the brewing failed, and grape juice was spilled all over the ground. Moreover, he made some cute gestures. Now, Akina Sawa just wants to sneak away and get away from this place.

"Thank you Patchouli for the water polo performance, I'm off now."

"no!"

Akina Sawa also gasped. "I don't want to stay in this awkward place! Let me go!"

"These grapes are nothing to me; I'm already quite content with seeing this magic show, and besides, I have plenty more at home."

Indeed, these grapes were nothing to Akina Sawaya, because as long as the vines were still there, the grapes could be harvested many times.

"Very good, now I'm going to give you a task!"

Remilia flapped her wings and flew away. She was in an awkward situation, but she couldn't leave, because this was her last chance to salvage the Scarlet Devil Mansion's dignity and prestige.

"Make wine from the grapes in your garden and send it over!"

After saying that, Remilia hovered motionless in the air.

Akina Sawa also looked at Izayoi Sakuya, and saw her nod.

So, Akina Sawa quickly left this glamorous but embarrassing place with the handcart.

……

After seeing Akina Sawa leave, Remilia, who was flying in the air, could no longer hold on and rushed into Izayoi Sakuya's arms.

"Sakuya~"

Remilia nestled in the head maid's arms, her voice trembling with tears, "My dignity is completely gone, waaaaah~"

As for Sakuya Izayoi, she was completely overwhelmed by this sudden surprise, and her loyalty was overflowing.

Patchouli lay peacefully amidst a sea of ​​blood...

Chapter 45 Fran's Rampage

"Little Bear, you're not allowed to go out!"

A blonde little girl sat alone in a lavishly decorated but lifeless empty room, playing house.

A little bear toy was locked in a canary cage by a blonde girl.

"If you behave, I'll give you whatever you want, as long as you're obedient," the little girl said, reaching out to touch the head of the bear in the cage.

"How could you say you wanted to go out? This is your sister's order!"
