Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

Suddenly, Aya Shameimaru reached out and hugged Sawaya Akina, resting her head against his chest.

"!!!!!!"

In an instant, upon realizing the soft yet fiery body leaning against him, Akina Zeya's mind went blank, and he was unable to think of anything.

All one could feel was the continuous heat emanating from Aya Shameimaru's body.

"Wow! You two are so shameless, doing such a thing in the street!"

Witnessing this scene, Fujiwara no Mokou shyly covered her eyes with her hands, continuing to watch through the gaps between her large fingers, her cheeks turning red.

Although she has lived for countless years, Fujiwara no Mokou is surprisingly pure in this respect.

Even the little flowers by the alley entrance seemed embarrassed by this scene, and bent over.

"I don't care about you anymore!"

After saying that, Fujiwara no Mokou fled the scene like the wind.

Although she saw that scene, Fujiwara no Mokou was thinking about Kamishirasawa Keine, and her face turned even redder than before.

The thought that Keine was still waiting for her made Fujiwara no Mokou feel like a complete idiot. She had abandoned her and come to see this scene; she was incredibly stupid.

Although Kaguya Houraisan's image flashed through my mind for a fleeting moment, Keine's figure dominated my thoughts...

"Hey, Aya, Fujiwara no Mokou has already left."

Seeing that Fujiwara no Mokou had already left, but Aya Shameimaru was still leaning against her chest, Akina Sawaya, worried that she was continuing to lie there because she hadn't seen Fujiwara no Mokou leave, quickly reminded her.

"Huh? They've already left?"

After being reminded by Akina Sawaya, Shameimaru Aya quickly took a few steps back, left Akina Sawaya's embrace, and turned her back.

"This is just part of the plan, don't overthink it!"

As he said this, Aya Shameimaru's wings kept flapping, but strangely, no wind was blown out.

"Haha, of course I understand!"

Upon hearing Aya Shameimaru's words, Akina Sawa awkwardly scratched the back of his head, a smile as usual on his face, but one that concealed a barely perceptible hint of disappointment...

Chapter Ninety-Two: Are You Ready?

"Are you ready?"

"Ready"

"Then, let's take action!"

At the mission's destination, with the operation time fast approaching, Akina Sawaya, though prepared, was constantly sweating with tension, clutching Aya Shameimaru's camera in his hand.

After emerging from the alley, the two went their separate ways. Aya Shameimaru hid in a pre-selected spot with all the prepared flower petals, while Sawa Akina stood directly in front of the crowd with Aya's camera.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

With three deep, resonant chimes echoing from the town's tower, a traditional event of the Flower Dance Festival is about to begin.

Couples, hand in hand, gazed lovingly at each other as they stepped onto the prepared red carpet and walked toward a large open space deliberately left in the garden.

This is an event that precedes the most important event of the Flower Dance Festival, but overall it is also very important.

This event is partly named the Flower Dance Festival because it is designed for couples planning to get married this year.

Surrounded by clusters of vibrant and beautiful flowers, lovers danced gracefully, their romance blessed by spring.

Whether they are beautiful or ugly, whether they dance well or not, as long as they dare to go up and show their love for their partner, they will receive heartfelt blessings from the onlookers.

It's like a large-scale public display of affection, but of course, not everyone comes for that reason.

But after the spring blessings for lovers have ended, the main event is just beginning.

At this point, everyone present can invite whoever they want to dance together, and together receive farewell blessings from spring on the last day of spring.

Thanks to this event, many people find their own love today every year.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Akina Sawa, or rather, he doesn't have time to think about these things now.

His and Aya Shameimaru's objective was this project.

As pairs of people he knew or didn't know passed by, Akina Sawa's mind went completely blank with nervousness.

We only have one chance! We absolutely cannot fail, otherwise all the efforts that I and Aya Shameimaru have made so far will have been in vain!

Just then, Akina Sawa also recalled the scene of his conversation with Shameimaru Aya that day...

That day, the sky was crimson, because the day was about to end.

Aya Shameimaru, on the other hand, faced the setting sun, leaving Akina Sawa with only a lonely silhouette.

Isn't this scene beautiful?

"Yes, it is indeed very beautiful."

Akina Sawa, who was looking at the same sky as Aya Shameimaru, also squinted at the beautiful scenery and sincerely praised it.

But I'm already tired of it.

The atmosphere suddenly changed. Aya Shameimaru turned her back to Sawaya Akina, her crimson eyes, surrounded by black irises, staring intently at him.

As the sun set behind the western mountains, it cast a long shadow on Ayumaru Shamei, and Akina Sawa was being stared at by the eyes hidden in that shadow.

For a moment, whether it was an illusion or not, looking at Aya Shameimaru like this, Akina Sawa also felt a sinister aura emanating from her, and his own body felt several degrees colder.

"Do you know? I've seen this scene countless times. Every day, every year, the sun keeps repeating the same thing, repeating and repeating."

As if teleported, Aya Shameimaru, who was still far away, was standing in front of Sawa Akina the next second, nose to nose, eye to eye.

He was so close that he could feel a faint breath on his face.

But Akina Sawa paid no attention to these details, because his gaze was completely fixed on Aya Shameimaru's face, her crimson eyes, which seemed to possess a strange magic, filling the entire space.

But the sun is the sun, and I cannot change it.

Aya Shameimaru closed her eyes, turned around, and took a few steps back.

"So? You plan to do this?"

After finally escaping Aya Shameimaru's control, Akina Sawa, who had been overly tense and was finally able to relax, asked breathlessly.

"Yeah, aren't the same old holidays awful? Even if it's just a small change, it's still a huge success for me!"

Aya Shameimaru, like a child, put her hands on her hips and revealed a childlike, innocent smile, much like Cirno.

Even though it was because Akina Sawa saw this scene of Aya Shameimaru that he decided to help her realize her plan to change the Flower Dance Festival.

Although he felt that asking directly might work, seeing Aya Shameimaru's expression as if she were doing something truly great made Akina Sawa abandon the idea of ​​directly asking the festival organizer...

The lovers are now ready, and the music is about to start.

Akina Sawa, his nerves on edge, also held a camera, preparing for the scene to unfold.

As the music started, the lovers in the garden began to dance gracefully. Although many of them were still a bit clumsy, it was clear that they had put in a lot of effort.

By the way, the music this time was produced by two speakers that were about half a person's height. These were handmade by the kappa from Tengu Mountain. When the people asked the kappa to customize two speakers, they were complained that asking them to make something so simple was not as interesting as making something like Gondaiki.

The time was ripe, and Akina Sawa placed his finger on the shutter, waiting only for Aya Shameimaru.

"【Peerless Wind God!】"

Just then, a clear voice came from the air.

Immediately, a figure as fast as lightning darted back and forth across the garden.

Just when everyone was a little confused.

Petals drifted down from the sky.

In an instant, petals filled the air, fluttering in the wind.

"Ah! They're flower petals?"

Some onlookers have already figured out what those flying things are.

Passersby stopped in their tracks, looked up at the sky, and reached out to catch the petals that were fluttering in the wind.

The people in the garden were also stunned by the breathtaking scene, and for a moment they forgot what they were supposed to do.

呲味~

Just then, the music from the speakers suddenly swelled up, and the people, stunned by the beautiful scene, instantly erupted in celebration, shouting and mustering the courage to ask their loved ones to dance.

Faced with this highly infectious atmosphere, those invited readily accepted the invitation, and in a short time, the garden was filled with couples dancing together.

"Isn't this fine too?"

Fujiwara no Mokou, who rushed over upon hearing the news, turned to look at the scene in the garden, a smile appearing on her face.

Let's go too.

Before she knew it, Bai Ze Huiyin had appeared in front of her, smiling sweetly at her.

"Hmph! I won't!"

Provoked by Keine's words, Fujiwara no Mokou snorted and turned her head away, unwilling to face Shirosawa Keine directly, but this revealed that her ears were completely red.

.......

"Hahaha! With these photos, as soon as I publish them, everyone in Renjian Village will know whose newspaper is the best!"

Aya Shameimaru excitedly flipped through the photos in the camera.

"Forehead......"

Seeing Aya Shameimaru's excited expression, Akina Sawa suddenly realized that he might have been tricked.

"cough cough"

Seemingly noticing the look in Akina Sawaya's eyes, Shameimaru Aya put away the camera in his hand, coughed twice, and said.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

.......

Chapter Ninety-Three: A Dancer Like the Wind

"I can't think of that right now. Can you give me a few days to think about it?"

Two people were standing on a high ground that no one would notice, beside the garden.

"That won't do. My reward has an expiration date. It will expire after today."

Aya Shameimaru shook her finger to indicate that this wouldn't work.

"How could this be...? Is there such a thing as an expired product...?"

Akina Sawa had intended to think it over carefully, but he hadn't expected there to be a time limit. Now, he was quite troubled. He had so many things he wanted Aya Shameimaru to do, and he simply couldn't decide in a short time...

"Alright, hurry up and tell me, or I'll have to go back and organize the newspapers," Aya Shameimaru urged once again.

"Okay, I want you to dance with me at this flower festival!"

Urged on by Aya Shameimaru, Akina Sawa blurted out the same thing, and even he was stunned when he said it.

Huh? What am I saying? Putting aside whether Aya Shameimaru would agree, why did I say something like inviting someone to dance?

Even though it's the Flower Dance Festival today, and everyone else is dancing happily, I'm not the kind of person who's easily swayed by the atmosphere, am I?

Akina Ze also recalled his time in the outside world, where he spent his days dealing with computers and avoided interacting with others unless absolutely necessary; this was his lifestyle in the outside world.

Although I've now arrived in Gensokyo and am no longer accompanied by my computer, I still immerse myself in fishing and farming all day long. I live in a secluded place, and with the help of many kind people, things have changed a bit.

If it were my past self, I wouldn't have come to this festival at all; I would have stayed quietly by myself, let alone said something so unimaginable.

But now, however, things have changed dramatically...

But when did I start to change?

Akina Sawa looked down at the people in the garden below, bewildered. These simple and kind-hearted people from the village were gathered together, laughing and dancing a simple and unskilled dance, which was mysteriously beautiful.

"I agreed."

The voice of Aya Shameimaru reached his ears, but Akina Sawa was as if he were in a trance, and although he heard it, he did not pay any attention to it.

Snapped!
