Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

She then silently moved her hand from the box to the picture book placed to the side.

Yuri opened the book and started making strange movements again.

Chito was too exhausted to even bother criticizing Yuri.

Compared to Yuri, who relies on sleeping to reduce energy consumption, Chito consumes energy faster because she is constantly driving.

She could only watch silently as Yuri imitated the actions in the picture book.

Food was running low, and the tracked vehicle was almost out of fuel.

Desperate situation.

Qianhu closed her eyes; she was too tired and needed a good rest...

"Xiaoqian, this is so delicious!"

Half asleep and half awake, Chito vaguely heard Yuri's voice.

Awakened from her sweet dream, she turned her head away, restless and trying to avoid the noisy Yuri.

"This is really delicious!"

But Yuri's voice lingered like a ghost, and her nose even caught a whiff of a strange fragrance.

The hungry Qianhu became even more restless and agitated.

Wait a minute! ? This smell...?

Did Yuri eat the last can of food?

Suddenly, Chitoge seemed to understand something and abruptly opened his eyes.

All I could see was Yuri stuffing a white lump of something I'd never seen before into her mouth.

Seeing that Chito had woken up, Yuri reached out her other hand and handed a white lump to Chito.

"Do you want some? The gods gave me so much!"

Chapter 32 is about rice balls!

"Yuri, tell me honestly, where did these rice balls come from?"

"Chito said while stuffing a rice ball into his mouth."

When Chito first saw the rice ball, he hesitated for a moment, unable to believe that what Yuri was holding was a rice ball.

Because it had been a long time since she last saw rice balls, she wasn't sure if these things were rice balls.

But after taking a bite, Chito was quite certain that it was a rice ball, and a very fresh one at that, fresh out of the oven.

"Huh? Didn't I already say it was given to me by a deity?"

Yuri reached out and picked up a rice ball, ate it all in one bite, and then ate every single grain of rice stuck to her fingers.

Wasting food is shameful.

Yuri, who has always lived on military-grade canned food with a long shelf life, has not eaten this kind of food for a long time. Although it is just a simple rice ball, it is still unforgettable.

"So how did your deity give you these rice balls?"

Chito didn't believe Yuri's explanation. Perhaps she thought these things were a gift from the gods, when in reality Yuri had found them herself, and the food had always been there.

This must be a coincidence, Qianhu thought to himself.

Hehe, look here.

Yuri had no idea what Chito was thinking; the simple-minded girl pulled out a note from behind her back.

"A note?"

Chito looked over curiously, but couldn't see anything special about it; it was just an ordinary little piece of paper.

"Yu, is this piece of paper torn from my diary?"

"Yes~"

"It's finally over!"

Qianhu slapped Yuri's helmet hard.

"I already told you not to waste paper!"

"I'm out of paper, Qian, look what's written on this piece of paper!"

Yuri handed the small note to Chito.

By the light of the nearby fire, Qianhu could barely make out the words written on it.

food.

"This is?"

Chito looked at Yuri with a puzzled expression.

"Just make the corresponding prayer gesture and write the word 'food' on a piece of paper, and food will appear!"

Yuri nodded and said.

"especially..."

Chito suddenly fell silent, looking at Yuri with suspicion.

"Did you claim that the food you found was given to you by God just because I don't believe in the gods you talk about?"

"No, Qian, you'll see when you try it yourself."

Yuri's face remained perfectly calm. If she were lying, she would have given herself away, but she showed no emotion whatsoever.

This made Chitoshi waver, but what Yuri said was too outrageous.

After much deliberation, and with the mindset that failure wouldn't be a big deal, Chito decided to give it a try, if it really worked...

"Like this, like this, and like this again."

Yuri patiently taught Chito how to perform these movements.

Chito blushed a little, realizing that he had just criticized Yuri for making these strange moves, and now he was doing them himself.

But if there's food, then it's all worth it.

The campfire burned silently, and on the wall, dark shadows were making strange movements...

[Supply Mission]

[Task 1: Food] [Completed]

[Task 2: More Rice Balls] [In Progress]

【…】

[Reward for completing all missions: Star Fruit]

"How much more food do we need to make?"

Akina Ze shook his head and continued kneading the rice ball in his hand.

I thought the system would go quiet after the update, but it actually started issuing tasks, and they were even chain tasks.

But the task requirements are so simple.

Food, more food.

When the first task was posted, there happened to be some leftover rice on hand, so Akina Ze casually wrapped up the rice grains and submitted the task.

I didn't expect to complete the task so easily.

But I didn't expect that the second task would require even more rice balls...

Akina Ze also glanced at the small note in his hand. This note appeared out of thin air in his hand just like last time. Although he had never seen the distorted writing on it before, strangely enough, he could completely understand the meaning it was trying to express.

More rice balls... So they didn't just disappear after the quest was completed; apparently, someone is still eating them...

In this case.

"Nikua! Help me catch the fish in the tank!"

Akina Sawa also poked his head out and called out to Nikua, who was playing with two chicks in the field.

This time, he wasn't going to be perfunctory. Since it was a dish meant to be eaten, he couldn't just make it haphazardly.

Soon, Nikua caught a lively fish by controlling the water flow and brought it into the kitchen.

"Akina-nii, why are you making so many rice balls?"

Nikua looked at the neatly arranged rice balls on the cutting board and asked in confusion.

Someone wants to eat.

Akina Sawa also reached out and took the fish out of the water ball, placed it on the cutting board, and gave a brief reply.

"who is it?"

Clearly, such a simple reply did not quell Nikua's curiosity, and she asked again.

"It's probably Mr. Paper."

Akina Sawa, also thinking about the mysterious note, hesitated before answering.

"Oh, it's Mr. Paper. Do you need my help?"

Nikua stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes full of anticipation.

Looking into Nikua's big eyes, Akina Ze still didn't say the words "no need".

But what can she do in the kitchen? She's not allowed to touch the spatula.

Just then, the neatly shaped rice balls on the cutting board came into his view...

--------------

"It's...it's appeared!!!"

Chito stared in disbelief at the rice ball that had appeared out of thin air.

"I told you, the gods exist! Long live rice balls!"

Yuri tossed the bolt-action rifle aside and excitedly circled the rice ball with both hands raised.

At this moment, Qianhu was completely stunned. Such a magical thing completely snapped the string of common sense in her mind.

"Chihiro, eat up! This food was summoned by you!"

After circling the rice ball a few times, Yuri sat down again and reached out to touch it.

Chito stared blankly at Yuri's outstretched right hand, which grabbed the rice ball, brought it to her mouth, and finally swallowed it.

"Mmm~ Delicious~ I think I'm tasting fish!"

As Yuri chewed, the aroma of fish meat inside the rice ball was released.

At this moment, Yuri felt as if she had arrived in heaven. She completely relaxed amidst the delicious food, and her face became slender.

Gollum~

Is it really that delicious? Chito swallowed hard and reached out to grab the rice ball that appeared out of nowhere, which Yuri said was given by the gods.

Only then did Chito see the rice ball in its entirety.

One by one, rice balls shaped into various forms appeared before her eyes. Some of the rice balls looked like the ones Chito had seen in books, but she didn't recognize most of them.

Was this made by a human?

A thought flashed through Qianhu's mind, and he immediately picked up a rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Ah~ Delicious~"

Like Yuri, Chito relaxed her body and her face fell as she ate the delicious rice ball.

For the first time in many days, they were full.

The heavy rain has stopped, and light rain is now pattering on the ground...
