The Great Hero's Fantasy Park Plan

NO.35 Fighting banquets are a specialty of Gensokyo!

The Silverwing Star is a legend described only in some regions, and was once thought to be a silver four-legged dragon that existed only in legends.

However, with the development of aviation technology, people were able to conduct more comprehensive high-altitude surveys and finally witnessed its unique flight behavior from the air!

Using the red gas 'dragon aura' ejected from its wings, it traversed the entire continent at high speed, just like a red comet.

Even when flying at high altitudes, it can cause considerable disasters to the ground in its path, hence the name Silverwing Star.

—But now it has a more straightforward name: Sky Comet.

"Oh, so you've fought monsters of this level before."

Listening to Yang Xiying recount these events, Kirisame Marisa couldn't help but show an expression of amazement. The banquet had already begun.

The girls of Gensokyo gather in the cherry blossom grove near the Hakurei Shrine to enjoy the blossoms and eat and drink, and chatting is an essential part of the gathering.

With Yang Xiying, a newcomer from out of town, there were suddenly many more topics to talk about, such as Yang Xiying's past.

This is something even Yukari Yakumo knows very little about; all they know for now is that the person opposite them is an envoy who collects the Heavenly Book, and that the place where they are staying contains records of events related to Gensokyo.

Therefore, Marisa Kirisame directly asked Yang Xiying about the Silver Winged Star, and the latter readily gave an introduction.

—Perhaps it's because he spoke the truth after drinking.

Yang Xiying is not a good drinker; at most, she'll have a little beer with friends at a banquet. Besides, alcohol is bad for the liver.

Yang Xiying, who was afraid of death, would naturally not train in this way. For this reason, he didn't even smoke. However, he was attending a banquet now.

Every woman in Gensokyo is a heavy drinker. They're not afraid of damaging their livers, so why should I be? Besides, these days, not drinking makes you feel out of place.

Forget about building up favorability with people now—Yang Xiying still wanted to investigate whether formally inviting someone to join the team would have any effect other than causing friendly fire.

In short, he became bolder in his speech because of the alcohol, and even drew the image of Tianhuilong with paper and pen.

—Even though it's just a draft, you can still feel the imposing presence of this image.

"Yes, back then I was the most anticipated monster hunter in Flame Village, fighting all kinds of monsters to the death for the safety of the villagers."

“Those absolute powerhouses, peerless hunters, crimson meteors, and sky overlords, every battle against them is a death match that pushes your limits.”

As he spoke, Yang Xiying also drafted a sketch of the other monsters that looked quite unique. Looking at these girls, they didn't think he was lying.

—Because the person's drawing matches the words.

"I became stronger, but I also contracted deadly diseases such as the Mad Dragon Syndrome, the Life-Eating Worm, the Demon-Subduing Life-Draining Technique, and the Karmic Armor Asura."

"How come you're still alive after contracting these ridiculous-sounding diseases?" Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but say.

"So you originally lived in a world teeming with monsters?" But that doesn't match up with what this guy used to mutter...

"No, before I met the Black and White Impermanence, I always thought it was a boring world. Martial arts couldn't even stop firearms, and after thousands of years of technological advancement, nothing special had been achieved."

Yang Xiying's answer was very direct.

"It belongs to the category where one's own abilities are completely unable to keep up with one's imagination. The Silverwing Ominous Star and the like that I just mentioned are products of human imagination."

"—It does not exist in the world I used to live in."

"Huh?! So your claim of being a 'battle-hardened hunter of Flame Village' was just bragging?!"

Upon hearing Yang Xiying's words, Kirisame Marisa immediately lost her composure, and the other girls who were somewhat convinced also showed strange expressions.

“Yes, I said those role-playing games between children are all fake,” Yang Xiying responded without any hesitation.

It's best to stop spouting nonsense like the hunters from Flame Village; otherwise, you might run into trouble if you can't cover up your lies.

Moreover, it's not a big deal to honestly admit that he's not that awesome now, since he already feels at ease in Gensokyo.

—This dish is delicious, and this wine is strong!

"You can describe something fake so vividly, that's impressive," Reimu Hakurei pouted, while Yang Xiying smiled in response.

"Haha, there's no need to look so disappointed. Things related to Gensokyo are still products of human imagination in my world."

"But you, who seem like mere figments of my imagination, have actually appeared before me. And the Silverwing Star and all that might not be entirely untrue."

"In the future, I might actually be able to travel to that world with the Silverwing Star by searching for books, but before that, I still need to work hard to cultivate."

At this moment, Yang Xiying stood up. The banquet was over and everyone was leaving. He was also full of food and drink, so it was time for him to enter the cultivation stage.

"Cultivation, huh? How about we have a fight next, fellow villager?"

At this moment, Yang Xiying's words were picked up by someone else, none other than the Yan Kingdom's demon Hong Meiling, who was wearing a simple and honest smile.

"Eh? Fighting Miss Hong?" Yang Xiying was taken aback when she heard Hong Meiling say that, while the other side continued to speak.

"Yes, actually, the reason I came here today is to meet you, as a fellow villager and a martial artist. It would be a shame not to exchange blows."

"—So please, I beg you to have a go at me."

"Hehe, there's going to be a fight after dinner! But I also want to spar with you, young man," Marisa Kirisame said, getting excited.

"After all, the way you sparred with Reimu before was quite interesting, so how about we have a match later, bro?"

“If you spar with me now, you might not have much fun,” Yang Xiying said hesitantly, not to mention Kirisame Marisa.

Hong Meiling's realm is already at the Strong EX level, while I've only just entered the Strong realm. How could I possibly be a match for these people!

—But saying it that way is a bit too simplistic.

"Because my current strength is not very strong, I need to train for a while longer. It would be impolite not to go all out in my fight against you."

Moreover, he'd rather learn the two secret manuals that Reimu Hakurei had given him after losing a sparring match than fight.

One is the peerless martial art "Shangqing Fengyun Jue" that everyone covets, and the other is the fighting technique "Inch Punch Man Essentials" possessed by Saul Badgai.

However, there are no moves related to the Thug Cemetery or Dragon Armor, because those are Thor Badge's own special abilities.

It can only be done with the help of Solbard's Gear cells—even the secret manuals given by the system require the assistance of props to practice.

However, this matter is recorded in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" under the titles "Yue Family Spear Technique", "Yue Family Freehand Technique", and "Corpse Serpent Poison Blood Technique", so it doesn't matter.

—Anyway, martial arts manuals that don't require special props can't be that weak.

"But didn't you defeat Reimu before? Her strength is among the best in our area."

"That was an exceptional performance; it's rare for me to display such strength on a normal day," Yang Xiying replied directly to Marisa Kirisame's question.

“…Speaking of which, Yang Xiying, you did mention before that you have the trait of unleashing power in times of crisis,” someone else chimed in as soon as he finished speaking.

“It only works intermittently, so shouldn’t we fight even more?” It was Reimu Hakurei, who showed an eager expression.

"Only through constant real-world experience can one perfectly master one's own power, so let's have a match later."

"Please forgive me for refusing, because I feel that Miss Hakurei has other motives."

Yang Xiying sensed that Reimu Hakurei harbored ill intentions, knowing that he couldn't unleash his power and wanted to avenge the previous battle.

"Not at all."

"Then why did you turn your head away?"

“I just sensed an unfamiliar presence around me, but it’s gone now,” Reimu Hakurei said, turning her gaze to the side.

"In short, I'm just doing this for Yang Xiying's own good. After all, everyone here is the last person who wants you to die suddenly."

"Finding the Heavenly Book is a very difficult process. It will involve all sorts of battles, most of which are life-or-death in nature."

"Therefore, sparring with different opponents is also a part of training. If you avoid even this, you will never become stronger."

—Reimu Hakurei spoke with righteous indignation.

"..." Yang Xiying remained silent because he had indeed not experienced much actual combat, or rather, not much actual combat against an evenly matched opponent.

“I agree with Reimu on that point,” Yukari Yakumo said with a smile. “Besides, it’s too lonely for Brother Yang to always train alone.”

"Although we contacted Ms. Mingluo before, she can't always make time because of work. And weren't you going to team up with us?"

"Sparring and fighting allows us to showcase our abilities, which in turn enables us to demonstrate stronger teamwork in battle, right?"

"Then, we also know a bit about the celestial books that Brother Yang is studying. We can also give you some pointers on the Shangqing Fengyun Jue, which you haven't yet mastered."

“That’s right, that’s right,” Yuyuko chimed in with a smile, “and Mr. Yang Xiying also mentioned it before.”

"The loyal and exceptionally skilled swordsmanship of Youmu is incredibly cool. I would be willing to die just to see Yuyuko open her fan."

——!

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiying and Youmu, who had just finished cleaning up the mess at the banquet with Izayoi Sakuya and Yakumo Ran, were both startled.

They glanced at each other and then quickly turned their heads away.

"My Youmu's swordsmanship is indeed impressive. Don't you really want to see it for yourself? Then, you could show me my Fan technique with your sparring skills."

“If Mr. Yang Xiying is interested in puppetry, I wouldn’t mind demonstrating it,” Alice said at this moment.

—After all, everyone else has said something, so it would be a bit odd for her not to say anything.

"Haha, everyone's saying that, it's a bit disappointing that the guy still refuses, even though he's clearly forcing himself to drink."

"Could it be that you're actually afraid of losing to a group of girls like us?" Marisa Kirisame asked at that moment, then seemed to realize something.

"If you're afraid of losing, then that's really not a good idea. After all, it's hard to get through things you've never experienced before the first time."

Remilia added a sentence.

"Who...who's afraid of losing! I'm the kind of person who will keep challenging the winner until I defeat them, even if I lose."

Yang Xiying retorted directly that he was the type of person who constantly challenged himself in games, and even if he couldn't win, he could annoy his opponents to death.

"Just don't find me annoying, I'm just worried about not finding a suitable practice partner," Yang Xiying said, rubbing her hands together eagerly.

"...Miss Hong, you've been chosen as my first opponent!"

"Oh, please enlighten me!"

P.S.: This is 3,000 words. I adjusted my sleep schedule because I'm going back to Chengdu in the next few days, so I'm only updating now. Sorry.

NO.36 spent the night at Hakurei Shrine and didn't go back!

"An unfamiliar ceiling... wait?! How did I end up lying down?!"

When Yang Xiying opened her eyes, she was greeted by a wooden ceiling and looked around to find that she was in a Japanese-style room.

This also surprised Yang Xiying instantly. Wasn't she just sparring one-on-one with the girls from Gensokyo?! It was quite tiring, to say the least.

My whole body aches and aches. Could it be that I blacked out because of this?!

"That's right, because Brother Yang collapsed after fighting so many opponents in a row, and he only woke up now."

Yang Xiying's question was quickly answered. A familiar voice suddenly came from beside her. Turning her gaze, she saw Yakumo Yukari lying in the gap.

"It's already the next morning. Everyone from the banquet has left, but you're still at Reimu's house."

"This...is like this."

Yang Xiying was stunned for a moment before she started to recall what happened before she blacked out. At that time, she had basically sparred with all the girls present.

Each sparring session left me feeling more and more tired. In fact, this sparring style was similar to that in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

—And the sparring there really does take a lot of energy.

“In that case, I really need to be careful. It wouldn’t be good if I were to fall into a coma frequently,” Yang Xiying said, and began to examine her body.

He was terrified of suddenly falling into a coma, because he wouldn't know what was happening, or if someone was trying to harm him.

The scariest thing is waking up hanging like a roast duck, and then suddenly a few big guys walk in, quack! I don't want to see that!

"Hey, is Brother Yang so nervous because he's worried about losing his virginity after he faints?"

Seeing Yang Xiying nervously focusing her gaze on him, Yakumo Yukari immediately understood and revealed a teasing expression.

“Yes, as this is my first special experience, I think it’s better to stay sober,” Yang Xiying said seriously.
