Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

Suddenly, four guys appeared, calling themselves the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Flower Shop."

Moreover, they were piloting mechs with strange faces growing on their bellies.

"With our Ji Yanmian here, you won't get through here!"

Just as Youmu Konpaku drew the two swords behind her back, ready to fight them for three hundred rounds.

Suddenly, a mysterious figure appeared in the sky, flying on a broomstick.

She was called the Mysterious Woman because she was completely covered by a cloak.

Then a beam of light pierced the sky and crashed into the Four Heavenly Kings.

Before the Four Heavenly Kings could react, they vanished into thin air amidst the barrage of light.

War lost!

Just as Akina Sawa was about to thank the mysterious person in the sky.

She opened a twisted passage that connected heaven and earth.

Just as she was about to fly in, the mysterious man turned around and left only one sentence.

"Your belief is your magic."

He then left with these ambiguous words.

But this is just a minor hiccup along the way; the most important boss battle is about to begin.

With her twin swords in hand, Youmu Konpaku led Akina Sawa to the flower shop.

"Is this where the boss is?"

What appeared before the two was an inconspicuous little house.

"Nikua, get me a glass of water. I mentioned I was a little thirsty, cough cough."

Voiceover: "Seriously, hurry up and drink it, it's so annoying to be stuck here!"

"Don't rush, I'll start talking after I finish my water."

After smoothly finishing the water that Nikua had temporarily prepared, Akina Ze felt his throat had improved.

Thank you, Nikua.

Voiceover: "Don't thank me! Just tell me!"

"Okay!" Akina Ze also cleared his throat.

So, the story continues—

"Oh ho ho ho, you've finally arrived!"

An ugly woman dressed in red and green stripes appeared in front of the flower shop.

The battle between the hero and the ugly woman is about to begin.

[Sorry, unknown florist, but every story needs a villain, Akina Ze silently apologized in his heart.]

Voiceover: "Hey, Akina-nii, is the person you were talking about wearing red and green clothes her? But she's not ugly at all!"

"Nikua, don't bother me, the story is about to reach its climax!" Akina Ze also irritably slapped Nikua's hand away.

"Oh? Is that so? I'd like to hear how the ugly woman (emphasis) was defeated by the 'hero'."

"Of course, my storytelling skills are top-notch!"

Akina Ze also said proudly.

Wait a minute!? That voice?!?

Finally snapping out of his reverie, Akina Sawaya mechanically turned his head away.

He saw a girl with dark green hair holding a parasol, smiling kindly at him.

Chapter 85: Meaning Unclear

Beneath a large tree with dense foliage, Yuuka Kazami silently gazed at the people in a distant house, holding a parasol that resembled a flower.

Yuuka Kazami could sense a strange feeling emanating from him.

Other yokai might not be able to sense it, but as the lord of flowers in all four seasons, Akina Slope is already a lighthouse on the cliff in her eyes, exceptionally dazzling.

It was a feeling she couldn't quite describe, but just experiencing it made her feel good.

When Akina Sawaya first arrived in Gensokyo, Kazami Yuuka had already noticed him.

Flowers and plants are her eyes and ears; she knows about their rapid growth and the magic they gradually acquire.

However, Kazami Yuuka had no idea how he did it.

There was no sign of magic being used; the changes in these plants seemed to happen naturally, leaving no clue as to what was going on.

But who is Yuuka Kazami? She is the queen of flowers in all four seasons.

Under Akina Sawa's inexplicable influence, the flowers in his yard broke free from Kazami Yuuka's control and began to grow in an unknown direction.

How could she not be shocked that someone without magic could free flowers from Kazami Yuuka's control?

It just so happens that I learned from the flowers in Akina Sawaya's yard that he was going to buy flowers.

Normally, matters concerning the flower shop are handled by the Huanmeng sisters.

But this time, Yuuka Kazami left the sunflower field after a long absence, intending to meet this human she had always perceived only through the eyes of flowers.

Clearly, the outcome was exactly as Kazami Yuuka had anticipated.

After seeing him in person, Kazami Yuuka noticed that even the cells in her body were experiencing a slight sense of joy.

Although it wasn't as intense as the flowers in the florist, it was still just a little bit, which made Yuuka Kazami feel incredible.

As a great yokai who has lived for countless years, this is the first time Kazami Yuuka has encountered such a situation.

However, Yuuka Kazami does not like things slipping out of her control.

If it were someone who had done all sorts of bad things, Kazami Yuuka would not hesitate to take action.

But Akina Sawaya is someone she has been observing.

Wherever there are flowers, there are her eyes. Kazami Yuuka has been watching all the things Akina Sawa has done since arriving in Gensokyo.

"Hehe, interesting." Kazami Yuuka twirled the parasol in her hand, putting aside the thought in her mind.

Then he handed over a seed that he had nurtured himself to Akina Zeya.

Moreover, Kazami Yuuka had complete control over this sunflower seed, and she could sense any changes that occurred.

I wonder what kind of changes this sunflower seed will undergo under the catalysis of the mysterious power emanating from Akina Zeya.

Now that she had given him the sunflower seeds, Yuuka Kazami could go back.

But she didn't want to go back anytime soon.

Watching Akina Sawa's departing figure, the easygoing Kazami Yuuka thought for a moment, then closed the shop and hung far behind.

At the same time, the gap hidden in a small corner slowly closed...

"It's time to go back"

Following casually behind Akina Sawaya, Kazami Yuuka arrived at the front of his house and prepared to go back.

Because it's done spontaneously, there's no reason for doing it.

On a whim, I followed behind, but when I got bored with the story that Akina Sawa was telling, I wanted to leave.

After all, being constantly watched can be a bit uncomfortable.

Kazami Yuuka glanced sideways at a gap hidden in the corner.

Just as she turned to leave.

She clearly heard Akina Ze say those words from the small flowers in the corner of the room.

Kazami Yuuka stopped turning around, and a muffled chuckle came from the gap beside her.

With a casual flick of her wrist, she tossed a firecracker into the gap, and with a kind smile, Yuuka Kazami pushed open the door to the Akina Sawaya residence.

......

“I’m so sorry!!!”

Unexpectedly, the person he had been joking with appeared right in front of him the next second. Startled, Akina Sawa immediately and sincerely apologized to Kazami Yuuka in a standard taxi farewell.

"Brother Akina, what's the ending of the story? What happened to that ugly woman in the end?"

Nikua, standing to the side, asked Akina Sawa with a childlike expression.

"Please continue, I'd like to hear it too."

Kazami Yuuka gently patted Niqua's head and said.

"How could I? Making up stories about ladies is not something a gentleman should do."

"Oh? So now you realize that? Why were you talking so enthusiastically just now?"

Kazami Yuuka didn't even glance at Akina Sawaya lying on the ground, but continued to stroke Niqua's head.

Nikua, who showed a happy expression as her head was patted, thought that the person patting her head smelled very nice, just like her older brother Akina.

"Beautiful lady, please let me go, I didn't mean to."

"Kazami"

Upon hearing the word that Akina Zeya uttered, Kazami Yuuka frowned slightly.

"Ok?"

My surname is Kazami.

"Um... Ms. Kazami? Is there something you need from me?"

Akina Ze, who was lying on the ground, also raised his head and asked.

"Nothing's wrong."

"...Did you really just come in because you heard me joking around?"

"Yes."

Feng Jian Yuxiang nodded.

The hand that wasn't holding the parasol kept rubbing Nikua's little head; the feel of it was simply wonderful.

There's no way around it; lolis always hold a different place in Kazami Yuuka's heart.

The last person she kept rubbing was Alice when she was a child.

"Eh~"

Alice was so cute when she was little. Although she has grown up now, she has lost that charm. And Alice hasn't been to the sunflower field for a long time, even though she loved coming here when she was little.

Yuuka Kazami couldn't help but sigh.

"You're kidding me! This place is so remote, how could anyone possibly just happen to pass by here! Tell me, what's your purpose in coming here?"

Akina Ze jumped up from the ground. "Let's make this clear first, I've already planted that seed. If you want to back out, I won't give it back."

"But I really was just passing by."

Kazami Yuuka waved her hand helplessly.

"That's settled then. You must take good care of that seed. I forgive you this time, but only this once."

With that, Kazami Yuuka left Akina Zeya's house.

As a powerful yokai, Kazami Yuuka disdains to attack ordinary humans, especially those who make her feel strange.

"I will definitely take good care of the seeds."

From beginning to end, in his eyes, Kazami Yuuka was just a strange woman (referring to the one holding a parasol indoors), and he didn't feel any sense of pressure from her, perhaps because he was too incompetent.

Just as Akina Sawa was thinking about how to explain what had just happened to Nikua.

A gap appeared before them.

A strange woman dressed in purple and also carrying a parasol emerged from the gap.
