Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

"How is that possible? I can still walk!"

Although Akina Sawa did not receive a definite answer on how long they would have to walk in the bamboo forest, he trusted Captain Mokou.

Since she said it would be soon, it must be almost here.

Just then, a rabbit with rabbit ears popped up from the roadside, twitching and swaying...

Testimonials

I never imagined that my first book, written by a complete novice, would be published (I'll skip the first two few thousand words). It feels like a dream.

This is also my first time writing a post-publication message. As a newbie, my writing skills are poor and I don't know how to write stories. I owe this day to everyone's support, which has kept me from giving up on writing.

There are many people I want to thank.

After updating each chapter, I would anxiously check the backend. Only when those familiar IDs appeared and voted for me could I relax, knowing that the chapter hadn't fallen apart yet.

Therefore, as a newbie, I can only keep writing because of the support of those who are interested and the support of the experts, instead of abandoning it after only 2 or 3 chapters.

Although there's still so much more I want to say, I'll stop here.

I won't set a reward for this book. After it's published, I'll try my best to update twice a day. I hope you won't mind that I update less often. That's all.

This newbie thanks you again!

Chapter Fifty-Four: The Rabbits Lost in the Bamboo Forest

"Come out, Inaba Tei, your rabbit ears have given you away."

As Fujiwara no Mokou spoke, a rabbit-like monster with rabbit ears and a petite, loli-like figure hopped out from the side of the road.

"I thought you wouldn't come to the bamboo forest again, Mokou-chan!"

After the rabbit monster hopped out from the roadside, it immediately opened its arms and pounced on Fujiwara no Mokou, as if it wanted to give her a big hug.

Of course, Fujiwara no Mokou didn't manage to hug the rabbit.

She stretched out a hand and placed it directly on the forehead of the approaching rabbit monster. No matter how hard the rabbit monster tried, it could not touch any part of Fujiwara no Mokou except her hand.

Seeing the person and rabbit in front of him, Akina Sawa stood silently to the side. To be honest, he had never seen Fujiwara no Mokou like this before and didn't want to disturb them.

Judging from their playful antics, Captain Mokou must have a good relationship with this rabbit yokai, right?

"cough cough"

After playing around for a while, Fujiwara no Mokou noticed that there was someone standing next to her, so she quickly stopped playing around with Inaba Tei and coughed to ease the awkwardness.

"She is Inaba Tei, and as you can see, she is a rabbit demon."

Fujiwara no Mokou pointed to the rabbit yokai next to her, who was looking at Akina Sawaya with a curious expression.

Inaba Tei covered his mouth with one hand, his eyes revealing a mischievous glint as he approached Akina Sawa and whispered...

"I'm a lucky rabbit! By the way, young man, you came with Mokou-chan, so did you accidentally...?"

Before Inaba Tei could finish speaking, Fujiwara no Mokou threw a punch, but the rabbit monster dodged the attack with a sidestep and hopped away in a few moments.

Fujiwara no Mokou then gave Akina Sawa an embarrassed look and said, "This rabbit spirit just can't change her mischievous nature, so just ignore her."

Meanwhile, Inaba Tei stood a few meters away, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "Mokou-chan, you're so heartless! I was just asking how you've been doing."

"Stop messing around!" Fujiwara no Mokou rolled her eyes. "Hurry up and take us to Yagokoro Eirin's place. Look at this guy, he's in so much pain he's about to burst!"

Upon hearing this, Inaba Tei carefully observed Akina Sawaya for a few moments.

Faced with Inaba Tei's scrutiny, Akina Sawa managed a forced smile, but beneath the smile lay pain.

“Indeed, this guy’s body is failing.” Touching Akina Sawa’s exposed skin, Inaba Tei also came to this conclusion.

"Then come with me."

Inaba Tei immediately stepped forward to act as a guide, with Fujiwara no Mokou and Akina Sawa following behind her.

The monotonous scenery of the Lost Bamboo Forest and the dense fog all around can make one feel bored and dull.

But the rabbit guide in front of us would occasionally wiggle its hips and point to something on the road to explain it.

For example, this black stone by the roadside was dug out of the ground by her when she was digging a hole sometime in a certain year and month.

This made the otherwise boring journey more interesting, although Akina Sawa had no idea what Inaba Tei was talking about, and Fujiwara no Mokou looked quite impatient.

It seems that Fujiwara no Mokou must have heard this from the rabbit named Inaba Tei many times.

However, Akina Ze listened to it with great interest, even experiencing some relief from the physical pain.

......

With Inaba Tai leading the way, Akina Sawa and Fujiwara no Mokou quickly arrived at their destination, Eientei.

A classic, rustic Japanese-style house came into view. Although it was rustic, it did not feel old-fashioned. A winding, quiet pebble path led out from there.

Every now and then you can see a few rabbits hopping past.

Although it was daytime, only a small amount of light shone in, making the entire house seem very dark. The only sound was the wind rustling through the bamboo, giving the house a mysterious feel.

But no matter how mysterious it is, we still have to go in, since Akina Sawa is also there seeking medical treatment.

"Let's just go in."

Having already seen this many times, Inaba Tei went inside without stopping.

“Hmm,” Akina Ze replied.

He had actually thought that such a large house would have a doorman or similar person, but there wasn't one.

However, this is also good, as it saves time. All the muscles in his body are sending pain signals to the central nervous system. Although he is almost numb, it is better to get better sooner.

Akina Zeya and his group walked along the cobblestone path.

The path wasn't long, and soon they arrived at a courtyard.

There were many rabbits in the yard, and when they saw someone coming, they all looked this way.

A sea of ​​red eyes stared at him, and Akina Ze felt a chill run down his spine.

However, the rabbits didn't look for long. They glanced at it and then turned away to do their own thing, which relieved Akina Ze, but at the same time made him think that these rabbits had all become sentient.

But even if they were all truly sentient beings, he wouldn't be surprised, because there was a rabbit demon named Inaba Tei standing right next to him.

“Here, here”

Inaba Tei continued walking forward, waving to Akina Sawa, indicating that they hadn't reached their destination yet.

After passing through a long corridor adorned with many exquisite reliefs, Inaba Tei finally stopped. She pointed to the unassuming old house in front of her, which must be where Dr. Yagokoro practiced his medicine.

Before Akina Sawa could figure out how to greet him, Fujiwara no Mokou pulled him directly into the house.

"Lord Yagokoro, I've brought a patient with me."

With Akina Zeya by her side, Fujiwara no Mokou immediately started calling out to Yagokoro Eirin.

After hearing Fujiwara no Mokou's voice, a commotion came from the inner room of the house.

Then a rabbit-like monster dressed in a human uniform and with the body of a human girl ran out in a panic and bumped into Akina Zeya.

"Whoops"

Suddenly struck hard, Akina Sawa immediately collapsed to the ground, wincing in pain.

"sorry Sorry!"

The rabbit girl hurriedly apologized to Akina Zeya, and before Akina Zeya could get up, she ran away as if a flood or wild beast was chasing her.

Although she only caught a glimpse of it briefly, Akina Ze was certain that it was a rabbit monster, because its long, swaying rabbit ears were very conspicuous.

"What's going on?"

Akina Sawa, who had just gotten up from the ground, also clutched his chest, which had been hit, and grimaced in pain.

Seeing this, Fujiwara no Mokou shook her head. She recognized the rabbit girl from earlier, but judging from her flustered appearance, it seemed that Lord Yagokoro had done something to her again.

Akina Sawa will be going in soon.

But Fujiwara no Mokou wasn't worried about her, because no matter how much she struggled, she wouldn't die. She had complete confidence in Yagokoro Eirin's medical skills.

Fujiwara no Mokou was relaxed because she knew the situation, but Akina Sawa was unaware of it and became nervous. Nervousness about the unknown is unavoidable.

"come in"

After a short while, a friendly voice came from inside the room.

"You go in, I won't go in," Fujiwara no Mokou said to Akina Sawa, then leaned against the wall with one leg and closed her eyes to rest. Although she looked very dashing and stylish, her expressionless face broke the beauty of the scene.

Speaking of which, Fujiwara no Mokou had a bad expression on her face when she entered the mansion. She had a sour look on her face, as if someone owed her money and hadn't paid it back.

Seeing this, Akina Ze could only nod nervously, swallow hard, and go inside alone.

What will happen to him next?

Chapter 55 Eirin Yagokoro's Physical Examination

"Gulu~"

Although the friendly voice eased some of Akina Zeya's tension, the rabbit-like girl who had just run out was so flustered. Could the person inside be a smiling tiger?!

This exacerbated his tension.

There's no other way, let's go in first.

Akina Ze swallowed hard, pushed open the wooden door, and went inside.

The wooden door creaked as it was pushed open, and Akina Zeya felt uneasy.

Akina Sawa also cautiously walked in, and unexpectedly...

The room was well-lit, with a large window in the wall that let in vibrant orange sunlight, making the whole room glow and creating a relaxing atmosphere.

He had assumed the room would be as dark and quiet as the outside, but he was surprised to find it to be like this.

Before Akina Ze could react, a silver-haired woman with long hair, wearing an open doctor's coat and a hat with a cross pattern, suddenly appeared in front of them.

Her face was full of a kind and caring smile, which made Akina Sawa wonder if she treated every patient this way.

"Please sit down, let me examine you."

Just like the smile on her face, her voice was also full of gentleness, which made Akina Ze feel a little flattered. Perhaps this is what a doctor is like.

Akina Ze followed her instructions and obediently sat in the chair she designated, waiting for the inspection.

However, unexpectedly, there was such a kind doctor in this dark, secluded, and even somewhat eerie mansion. Looking at her back as she made preparations for the examination, Akina Ze couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The wait wasn't long. Soon, the doctor brought over a set of equipment that Akina Sawa couldn't understand. Although he couldn't understand it, he thought to himself, "Perhaps this is a unique examination method in Gensokyo?"

Akina Ze then lay half-reclined on the specially made chair, following the doctor's instructions.

"Open your mouth."

The doctor had a kind smile on his face and was holding a stick-like object, gesturing for Akina Ze to open his mouth as well.

As a side note, although the doctor was covered by a medical coat, Akina Ze could still tell from some small details that she had a curvaceous figure, a slender waist, long silver hair that reached her waist, and fair and delicate skin. She was clearly a stunning beauty.

So, with such a kind and approachable doctor, how could Akina Ze not comply?

She obediently opened her mouth, letting the doctor insert the rod-shaped object and stir it.

It's called stirring, but it's really just a gentle swirling motion in the left and right sides of the mouth and on the tongue.

Although Akina Sawa didn't know what was going to happen, he wouldn't stop him.

He could feel the doctor was very close, and he could feel her faint breath on his face. As for why he felt it instead of seeing it?

This was because he inadvertently caught a glimpse of snow-white skin as she leaned down, and he shyly closed his eyes. There was nothing he could do; after all, he was still a virgin.

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

The physical examination was completed quickly.

Feeling the presence beside him fade away, Akina Ze's cheeks flushed slightly as he opened his eyes.

Before he could react, a rabbit demon suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Inaba Tei; he didn't know when she had sneaked in.

"Hmm? Are you tempted?"
