Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

He knew this person; he had attended his banquets before.

"Um? Miss Yakumo Yukari, is there something you need here?"

Akina Ze also shielded Nikua behind him and asked carefully.

"I just came to see what's so special about the guy that Kazami favors~"

Yakumo Yukari, half-hidden, circled around Akina Sawa just as she had said, and even carefully looked at Nikua behind her.

"Then did you see it?"

Upon hearing Akina Zeya's words, Yakumo Yukari did not reply but quietly floated into the gap, and the floating gap disappeared into the air.

"What's wrong with this person...?"

Two strange people came to visit in one day. Although they were both very beautiful, Akina Ze said that it would be better to have fewer visits like this.

......

Back at the House of the Lost, Yukari Yakumo fell into deep thought.

"What is it that makes Kazami so concerned about this ordinary human?"

Chapter 86 The Festival is About to Begin

"Eh~"

In the fields, Akina Sawa was watering the grapevines and other plants all by himself, sighing from time to time.

Since Kazami-san exposed her fabricated story on the spot, Nikua has ignored him for several days.

He still vividly remembers what happened that day...

After Yakumo Yukari left, Akina Sawa was not yet at ease.

He saw a small hand reach out from behind and tug at the hem of his clothes, and then he heard Nikua's inorganic voice.

"Hey, Akina-nii, did you lie to me?"

Startled by the sound, Akina Sawa turned around and found Nikua behind him, her head bowed, waiting for his response.

"Sorry, Nikua, I really did make that up, hahaha..."

Akina Sawa, who hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation, scratched his head and chuckled as he spoke.

Then something happened that Akina Sawa deeply regretted: Nikua loosened her grip on her clothes and fell into a long silence.

Niqua has been in this state for several days now. No matter how much Akina Sawa tries to tease her or apologize, Niqua just ignores him...

Having no other options and completely at a loss, Akina Sawa even went to Suzunaan to ask Suzu for advice...

The scene during that time was like this.

After entering the gate of Suzuna-an, Akina Sawa went straight to Motoori Kosuzu's desk.

However, out of politeness, he was too embarrassed to ask her directly, so he stayed quietly to the side, waiting for the right opportunity to speak.

After a while, Motoori Kozue couldn't figure out why Akina Sawaya was just standing there silently, like an idiot.

With no other option, to avoid being seen as an idiot herself, Motoori Kosui closed the book in her hand and asked Akina Sawa in an annoyed tone.

"Is there something wrong with you standing here like that?"

There is indeed one thing.

"Then hurry up and say it, don't just stand here like an idiot, it's so stupid," Motoori Kozue said disdainfully.

After looking around and making sure no one was paying attention, Akina Zeya continued.

"I have a friend who..."

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing this, Motoori Kosuzu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Akina Ze blushed and said angrily.

"Haha! It's alright, please continue!"

Forcibly suppressing the urge to laugh, Motoori Kozue clutched her stomach and gestured for Akina Sawa to continue.

"Really are..."

Akina Sawa rolled her eyes at Motoori Kosuzu and continued, "My friend did something bad."

"Oh? What is it?"

Glug glug, Motoori Kozue pulled out a drink with a straw from somewhere and kept drinking it.

Although Akina Sawa felt inexplicably angry seeing Motoori Kosuzu's state, he still continued speaking.

He lied to another friend.

"and then?"

Motoori Kosuzu stuck out her pink little tongue and circled it around her lips before asking a question.

"So, one of his friends stopped talking to him. What do you think he should do?"

"Isn't your friend too fragile?"

Bored, Motoori Kosuzu opened the closed book.

Isn't it normal for humans to deceive each other?

This is knowledge that Motoori Kosuzu gained from books; history is full of deception and war.

Although it's not something you see often in Gensokyo, you never know when you might need it.

"The problem is, she's not human."

"Oh? You even lied to the monster?"

Things seemed to be getting interesting. Motoori Kosuzu closed her book again and looked up at Akina Sawaya.

"I told you it wasn't me, it was a friend of mine, and he was deceiving a fairy."

Akina Sawa is still sticking to this setting.

"Ouch~ This is troublesome."

Upon hearing the word "fairy," Motoori Kosuzu frowned.

Is there still a chance to salvage the situation?!

Seeing Motoori Kosuzu's appearance, Akina Sawa also began to panic.

If Nikua stopped paying attention to him, Akina Ze felt that the world had lost its color, and the land that had been expanded at home would have to be watered one by one again, and the world had turned gray and white.

"Um... how should I put this..."

Motoori Kosuzu frowned in distress.

"Fairies are creatures that easily trust others, but at the same time, they absolutely hate being deceived."

"Ah~"

Upon hearing this, a grayish-white mochi popped out of Akina Zeya's mouth.

"But things are not without hope."

Motoori Kosuzu looked at Akina Sawa seriously and said...

"Huh!!!? What is it???"

Upon hearing that there was still a chance for things to turn around, Akina Ze immediately perked up and slurped up the mochi.

There are no shortcuts to winning a fairy's forgiveness~

Motoori Kosuzu, with one hand under her chin and the other holding a cup, said with great interest.

"Yes, I understand. I'll do whatever it takes!"

"Very well, since that's the case, I'll tell you then: just keep at it."

"Clam?"

"Why? You don't believe it?"

Glug glug, Motoori Kozue took a big gulp through the straw.

"No, no, how could I not believe what Miss Xiaoling says?"

Akina Ze also quickly shook his head.

"Since that's the case, you should be alright now, right? Hurry up and move away, don't just stand there like an idiot in front of me! You're blocking all the sunlight!"

Motoori Kozue angrily finished the last bit of her drink.

"Sorry! Sorry! I'll be leaving now."

Akina Sawa also quickly moved aside.

Now that the matter was settled, Akina Sawa planned to leave.

Just as he was about to step out the door, he suddenly turned around and said,

There's one more thing.

"Tsk~"

Just as Motoori Kosui opened the book to continue her previous reading, Akina Sawa once again interrupted her train of thought.

"Say it quickly!"

"Oh, is that so? Where did you buy that drink? It looks delicious, I'd like to..."

"Don't think about it anymore, I made this myself, you'd better leave quickly."

Kosuzu Motoori said weakly.

"All right"

Akina Sawa also realized that Motoori Kosuzu was already annoyed by him, so he decided to leave first.

And so, Akina Sawa left Suzuna-an.

"Humph!"

Inside Suzuna-an, as she thought about what had just happened, Motoori Suzu felt an inexplicable anger rising within her, and she angrily pulled out a large glass of beverage and drank it down.

......

"It seems I have to persevere. One day, Nikua will forgive me."

At that time, Akina Sawa was also thinking the same thing as he was walking home.

However, several days have passed now, and Akina Sawa, believing that perseverance leads to victory, has been taking care of Niqua day and night.

But, all of them are wood.

Nikua still ignored him, which gave Akina Ze a headache.

In the distance, the atmosphere of the festival in the village of humans grew increasingly intense.

Perhaps? If I take Nikua to the festival, she'll forgive me?

Nikua is always afraid when she's in a crowd. She'll definitely grab my hand and hide next to me, and then I'll comfort her. Maybe that will work?

Now it seems that this may be the only feasible method. Akina Ze also looked at Nikua, who had been ignoring him inside the house, and secretly made up his mind.

......
