The Great Hero's Fantasy Park Plan

"Oh yeah! The great Marisa has finally arrived at her faithful body," Marisa Kirisame exclaimed with a cheerful expression.

“Smug…” Patchouli pouted. She had changed back to her old self, so the others also… Patchouli couldn’t help but turn her gaze to her surroundings.

"Alice, have you changed back?"

Her first concern was for Alice, since the other woman was acting strangely—staring blankly in one direction.

“Eh? Of course! I’m back now,” Alice said nervously upon hearing Patchouli’s voice, then nodded in response.

“But Alice, you look like you have something on your mind right now,” Marisa Kirisame noticed Alice’s expression as well.

"Because of Yang..." "Because of Brother Yang?!"

Everyone: "?"

Marisa Kirisame's unexpected voice rang out, causing everyone to turn their attention to her.

"...Why are you yelling so loudly?" Noticing the stares of those around her, Alice suddenly became annoyed, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"I'm just wondering why Yang, Zi, and Lingmeng weren't affected by this sudden fluctuation?"

"Or should we call it the influence of Youmu's Stand ability?" It has now been proven that the soul swapping is due to Youmu's Stand ability.

"Well..." Hearing Alice say this, everyone was stunned. This was indeed a question worth considering.

"..."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief as she saw that everyone had listened to her, even though she had thought about the connection to Youmu's Stand.

But now she's thinking more about what will happen after she becomes Izayoi Sakuya, and something's not right with her since becoming that person.

When I look at Yang Xiying, I feel an unprecedented surge of excitement in my heart and a burning sensation throughout my body.

—It seemed like he needed to go to the restroom to calm down.

This made her start to overthink, because this feeling was just like the one she had read about in books—love at first sight.

This puzzled her. Although she had feelings for Yang Xiying, they were only at the level of ordinary friends, since they hadn't known each other for very long.

Could this be a side effect of the soul swap? Because of this, Alice, whose soul has returned, spends more time looking at Yang Xiying…

But that would easily attract attention, so let's join the discussion first about why Stand attacks are ineffective against the three.

PS: Second update!

The reason why NO.99+100 cannot awaken their Stand with arrows!

"The reason why she wasn't affected by Youmu's Stand ability should be quite simple, right? As long as you're strong enough, isn't that enough?"

"I have grown quite a bit through cultivation, so you all shouldn't become lazy in this regard."

At this moment, Reimu responded to Alice's question in a matter-of-fact tone, while also revealing a teasing expression.

"..."

Hearing Reimu say this, everyone's expressions became somewhat subtle. Reimu Hakurei had indeed been much more diligent lately.

—So it's because they became stronger that they weren't able to have their souls swapped?

"...I can't pretend I didn't hear that. Even if you've improved, you can't possibly surpass everyone here."

Remilia spoke, somewhat displeased, as she had held back some of her strength when she fought Reimu Hakurei earlier.

"Well, I think this might not be just due to strength."

Yang Xiying spoke up, because if he didn't say something soon, these people would start fighting beasts, and his house couldn't withstand the disturbance.

"After all, there is a gap between my strength and that of everyone here," he said, adding that he was currently only at the level of being fierce.

Yakumo Yukari, Ibuki Suika, Saigyouji Yuyuko, and Remilia are all around the level of Fiend EX and Fiend SP, and Reimu has now also reached Fiend EX.

"However, when I sensed the fluctuations emanating from Youmu's Stand earlier, I subconsciously circulated my internal energy to form a protective shield to resist it."

"Moreover, it's a banquet now, so people are naturally more relaxed. Plus, everyone here has had a few drinks, so it's normal to be attacked by a Stand."

"...That makes some sense."

After hearing Yang Xiying's words, the restless hearts of everyone calmed down, and Remilia nodded subconsciously.

"So, as long as you use your ability to create a protective shield, you can block Stand attacks, right?"

"In that case, how about we try again, Youmu?" Marisa Kirisame said excitedly at this moment.

"Moreover, your ability to swap souls with others is quite powerful. It can be used in battle and make it difficult for people to defend against."

On a battlefield with many people, using this ability to swap the souls of your opponents will inevitably cause great chaos!

"Is...is that so?" Upon hearing Marisa Kirisame's words, Youmu Konpaku was stunned for a moment, while Yuyuko Saigyouji spoke up at that moment.

"Is that so? Youmu, if you master this ability, it will definitely be useful in battle."

“Moreover, we are still not sure whether your awakened Stand, Youmu, can only swap souls,” Yang Xiying said at this moment.

Stands can also have multiple different abilities, like Star Platinum, which has high stats and excellent strength and speed.

The same goes for eyesight precision; one can catch a bullet fired at almost zero distance and clearly see and sketch a blurry fly.

Besides that, there's the ability to print Stands [The World]. The World has the ability to copy anything just by saying it's a 'Stand of the same type'.

In short, Youmu Konpaku's Stand has only demonstrated the ability to swap souls so far; whether it has any other abilities remains to be confirmed.

“I understand. I will try my best to study my Stand ability,” Youmu Konpaku nodded and replied earnestly.

“Hehe, we’ll help with that too,” Marisa Kirisame said, her face showing eagerness.

"I want to test now whether I can really resist your Stand ability if I build a protective shield."

"—So, Youmu, could you activate your soul-swapping ability again?"

"Uh..." Youmu Konpaku hesitated, after all, she wasn't very skilled at it yet, and it felt like she had accidentally turned everyone back.

—If I were to use this technique here now, it would likely affect everyone.

"Marisa, you're just trying to spy on Youmu's Stand, aren't you? You haven't even revealed your own Stand ability yet."

Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but complain.

"How could that be? Aren't we allies with Youmu now? Youmu's abilities just now even affected us."

"What if we accidentally get infected while fighting side by side in the future?" Marisa Kirisame retorted directly, even though she had some selfish motives.

But she also had legitimate reasons for doing so.

“This kind of area-of-effect skill really needs to be controlled well,” Yang Xiying nodded when she heard what Kirisame Marisa said.

"I'll help too. You can also use your soul to exchange abilities with me, Youmu. This time, I want to see what happens if I don't resist the fluctuations."

"No!" However, before Yang Xiying could finish speaking, he was met with opposition from Reimu Hakurei, which left him somewhat bewildered.

"Uh, what's the problem?"

“That’s a huge problem, okay? You’re the only man here,” Reimu Hakurei said, her face full of exasperation.

"--It's never a good thing for a soul to end up in a girl's body."

“Hey, after all, Brother Yang is a young and vigorous man,” Yakumo Yukari suddenly revealed a rather amused expression.

“We can’t be sure what you’ll do after you switch places,” Yuyuko Saigyouji chimed in with a chuckle.

“Exactly, it’s not very comfortable to have a male soul in your body,” Remilia clearly expressed her dislike.

"No, soul swapping is mutual, right? My body will also be occupied by one of your souls."

"I don't mind what you're complaining about."

Yang Xiying's expression was subtle. Although he was indeed quite curious about the girl's body, he couldn't act recklessly when everyone was watching.

"Besides, Reimu said that I was the only man there, so I should be the one who feels threatened."

If the genders were reversed, she would be a lost girl drinking with a large number of men.

"...So what Brother Yang means is that we women are terrifying to you?" Yakumo Yukari's voice rang out softly at this moment.

"..." Because of Yakumo Yukari's words, the gazes of the crowd became more mocking and unfriendly, which made Yang Xiying realize that she had said the wrong thing.

"Uh..." Holy crap, the genders are reversed!

"Oh dear, if that's what you think, Yang Xiying, you should have said it sooner. I'm so sorry to bother you like this."

Remilia responded.

"So, big brother doesn't like playing with us?" "Absolutely not!" Yang Xiying couldn't hold back any longer when Fran spoke up.

"It is my honor that you all have graced me with your presence. I have never felt unhappy when I am with you all!"

Yang Xiying performed the same old tiger-landing-style apology, showing that he has now completely mastered the essence of the Japanese.

"Ahem, anyway, I'll go get a few more dishes for everyone. Fran, you can tell your big brother what you want to eat now."

Yang Xiying felt that he was still under pressure from the girls, so he decided to leave. However, he also asked Fran about it.

“I want to eat some dessert, the kind that’s freshly made, so I’m going too,” she said, feeling that she didn’t belong there right now.

—After all, it's a matter of the older sisters' and brothers' relationships.

"Oh...oh, then come with me," Yang Xiying and Fulan walked together into their kitchen.

"..."

“…Speaking of which, as long as everyone is watching, it wouldn’t be a big deal if I swapped souls with Yang Xiying, right?” Patchouli said softly at this moment.

She was quite eager to experience what it would be like for her soul to enter a man's body, but most of the people present were adamant about it.

Even so, that shouldn't be done.

At that moment, Yakumo Yukari's voice suddenly echoed in her mind, which startled her. She turned her gaze to that side and found that the other person had a very serious expression.

—Because it's so serious, does it concentrate sound into a line and transmit it secretly into people's minds?

[This isn't because I'm worried he'll do anything lewd,] Remilia's voice echoed in Patchouli's mind.

[The reason is that we cannot use soul-related abilities on Yang Xiying. Just now, Youmu accidentally unleashed that Stand ability and almost caused a major incident.]

【Huh?】 Patchouli looked surprised and subconsciously turned her gaze to Youmu Konpaku, only to find that the other person looked nervous.

Let me put it this way: it's certainly possible to use a protective shield to resist Stand abilities, but there's another possibility: you won't be affected by them.

"That is an extremely powerful spiritual force," Yakumo Yukari's voice echoed in Patchouli's mind once again.

【An extremely powerful mental force?】 Patchouli was stunned again, and at that moment Alice seemed to have found the channel of their conversation and spoke up.

[Patchouli, you previously said that Yang's will and spirit are beyond the reach of ordinary people; it's as if he has a physical form.]

In fact, it did take on a physical form.

[The reason Yang Xiying couldn't awaken his Stand with arrows was also because he already possessed a power similar to a Stand.]

"Is that how it is...?" Remilia's voice, responding to Alice's words, surprised Patchouli even more.

[Then why did Yang Xiying say that she hadn't awakened the potential of a stand-in?] This also raised a new question for her.

"Because he hasn't realized he has that ability yet, and it's a power he can't control at this stage," Alice responded.

"So this power is dangerous?" Patchouli couldn't help but ask, and at that moment Reimu Hakurei's voice rang out.

[It's more than just dangerous; that guy almost destroyed Gensokyo last time he unleashed that kind of power—no, it almost destroyed the entire world.]

[This sounds like the scenario you mentioned, where Yang Xiying was annihilated before she finished collecting the Heavenly Book, which then detonated the entire universe.]

Patchouli immediately thought of the fact that if Yang Xiying didn't finish collecting the Heavenly Book, she would perish and implicate everyone.

That's true, but the two shouldn't be confused. After all, he wasn't completely annihilated; only his soul was separated from his body.

This also happened that afternoon...

As Yukari Yakumo responded, she suddenly recalled that afternoon when Yang Xiying first participated in the Gensokyo Girls' Banquet.

On a whim, they all wanted to try out Yang Xiying's sparring ability and fight her, and that's when trouble started...

Yang Xiying's fights against Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, Misuzu Hong, Remilia, and others were all normal, but her fight against Yuyuko Saigyouji...

Saigyouji Yuyuko, a spirit, possesses the ability to manipulate the degree of death, making her a formidable opponent for most people.
