Xiangbei, who had just emerged from the underground of the old hell, was walking among the crowd and leisurely looking for a restaurant for his lunch.

On weekdays, apart from coming to the Human Village to eat or purchase some necessary supplies, Xiangbei rarely came here. The reason was that he was not a guy who liked shopping, and he and Fujiwara no Mokou had a bad relationship. She was also the captain of the Human Village Security Force. If they ran into each other, the scene would definitely not be very good.

However, after copying the ability to control the unconscious, Xiangbei had no problem walking around among people. Although he was too lazy to go out even after copying this ability before, today, he unexpectedly wanted to walk around.

Passing by Jiugong’s cake shop, the owner Jiugong Liuli was entertaining the customers in the shop.

The Jiugong family is one of the few humans Xiangbei is familiar with in the human world, and they have a pretty good relationship with each other. Occasionally, Xiangbei will come to the cake shop to take care of her family's business, and also chat with Liuli and Jiugong Ye.

But it seems that there are quite a lot of customers today, so I’d better not go and say hello.

On the side of the street, a white-haired girl pulling a cart was running around various vegetable shops and markets. Every time she walked out of a shop or market, the various ingredients on the cart behind her would pile up at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually reaching a height that was a bit embarrassing.

Such a weight would be difficult to pull even with several strong men, but the girl with a sweet potato-like ghost floating beside her could easily lift the cart and then hurried to the next store.

Youmu... the popularity champion for two consecutive years. Speaking of which, among the famous Touhou machines, it seems that he only knows Reimu and Marisa. He has only met Suzusen and Youmu a few times, and it seems that he has never even seen a certain human god.

Looking at Youmeng's departing back, Xiangbei couldn't help but sigh that no matter which world it is, the life of a worker is very hard.

After walking one more street, you can see Meihong standing on the street, talking to a few people who look like security guards.

Meihong... Come to think of it, she was the first Oriental person he met, so how come she became the one with whom he has the worst relationship now?

He is obviously a good guy who is kind-hearted on the outside but warm-hearted on the inside. Why did he become like this?

That's not right. Is someone who attacks me when they see me really a good person? I remember that in the first setting, the girl Hong seemed to have a very gentle personality, but why is it that here, the second setting has the irritable man Hong?

He drove unconsciously towards the north and stood there for a while. Seeing that there was nothing conscious to do, he walked away after staying for a while.

Fujiwara no Moeko looked back as if she had noticed something, but in the end she found nothing.

Continuing walking, just as Xiangbei was about to reach one of his favorite noodle shops, he met another person he had not expected.

Hint: It's a Touhou character... but not a person or monster from Gensokyo.

When I got closer, I saw that her gorgeous clothes didn't fit in with the people around her. She looked a little unwell, and she was holding a basket in her hand... Who else could this be but Mian Yue Yiji?

Why would a Moon Princess like you end up in a place like this? She shouldn't be here, no matter what.

With the intention of verifying the facts, Xiangbei released his unconscious ability and walked forward to say hello.

"oi!"

"Hmm? Oh, it's you."

Miatsuki Iri turned her head. Although she was not sure what the other party meant by "oi", judging from his expression and movements, it seemed like he was saying hello.

Is this how people on earth greet each other?

"I didn't expect that we could meet here again, Mr. Xiangbei. What a coincidence."

"Yes, I came here to eat... By the way, Miss Yiji, what are you doing in the human world?"

Yiji raised her hand and handed the basket to Xiangbei, taking a look at it: "Selling medicine."

"Selling medicine?" Xiang Bei was stunned. "I remember... isn't this Lingxian's job? She used to be a medicine seller here in the human world."

"Um, this..." Yiji felt a little embarrassed: "I want to see how people on Earth live, so..."

"understood."

As an apprentice, he must want to know what life is like for people who are willing to live on the ground. Xiangbei looked at the basket in Yiji's hand and asked.

"How's the sale going?"

“…It’s over, it can’t be sold at all…” Yiji’s tone was a little shy, she lowered her head, and her face was a little hot.

"Well, I can probably guess."

Xiangbei looked Mianyue Yiji up and down. As the Princess of the Moon, Yiji was different from ordinary humans in terms of appearance, clothing, and temperament. Anyone who was not a fool could see that Yiji was different from ordinary humans.

Although Watatsuki Yorihime is not a monster and does not have any monster characteristics, there are many monsters that can transform into human forms. Even if they are not really monsters, humans will still feel fear of these special beings.

It can be said that when Yiji stood there, the words "I am special" were almost written on her face. How could anyone come near her?

It's a good thing you don't look dangerous, otherwise the people from Penglai, who are just across the street, would definitely come and cause trouble for you.

"Didn't you try shouting?" Xiangbei made a bucket shape with his hands. "Selling things requires shouting to attract customers, right? Otherwise, no one will buy it no matter how long it's left here."

"I know that, but..."

I can't bring myself to do that!

Although Mianyue Yiji has never done business, she still understands this principle. But the problem is that as the Princess of the Moon, she is willing to sacrifice her life for the Moon City and pick up the Tianyun Congjian to fight a bloody battle with those two bastards who come to the Moon City every once in a while to engage in a bombing. But asking her to accept shouting loudly... this is really impossible.

"Isn't it a little funny?" Yiji lowered her head and smiled bitterly in frustration.

"I'm the princess of the Moon City, but I can't even do something as basic as selling medicine."

"It's nothing." Xiang Bei thought it was nothing: "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Just do what you can do well. There's no need to embarrass yourself in areas you're not good at."

"What you said does make sense." Mian Yue Yiji sighed.

"Just like no matter what I do, I can't manage my subordinates better than Toyohime, handle the affairs of the sage better than him, nor can I please the master like Kaguya... Perhaps these are the things I am not good at."

"Hmm... Could it be that, Princess, you are emo?"

"Emo?" Mianyue Yiji was a little confused: "What is that?"

"What I mean is... uh, a little sad and upset?" Xiangbei scratched his head.

"I'm not sure what you said to Miss Bayi after I left, but I feel like you didn't seem to be in a very good mood."

Yiji was silent for a moment and sighed.

"It's nothing, I'm just not mature enough... Don't worry about it. As for the emo you mentioned, don't worry about it. I'm not that fragile."

After saying that, she turned her head and spoke in a smaller voice.

"But...thank you for your concern."

"Yeah, that's good."

He nodded to the north and said nothing more. Instead, he squatted down and checked the medicine in the basket.

"But then again, you really didn't sell anything... Any ideas? How about just taking it back?"

"No." Yiji raised her hands and said, "I don't want to go back in disgrace. I will definitely be laughed at by Fengji and Kaguya!"

"Why don't we just find a place to dump them all?"

"This is such a waste! And it's meaningless. Although money is just a thing outside of my body for my master, I'm selling medicine, not giving it away. If all the medicine is gone, I won't be able to take a penny back. You can see it at a glance."

"That's right." Xiangbei thought about it.

"Then I'll buy them all. How much is a bottle of these medicines?"

"Ah?" After hearing this, Mian Yue Yiji waved her hands and said, "How can this be possible? This is too much trouble for you. Besides, with your strength, Mr. Xiangbei, these medicines will be useless even if you buy them!"

"Who said it's useless? Although I certainly won't need it most of the time, there's a saying that goes 'better prepared than safe'. You never know when it might come in handy."

Xiangbei swiftly pulled out his wallet from the shadows. "Besides, the money in the Human World is of no use to me. Rather than leaving it unused in my wallet, I might as well exchange it for these medicines... It's a good deal to spend just a little money on potions made by Bayi Eirin. It's not a loss at all."

"Is that so?" After hearing this, Mian Yue Yiji could no longer refuse.

"Thank you so much..."

In the end, Xiangbei spent most of his own wallet to purchase half of the medicines that Mian Yue Yiji brought out this time... To be honest, this was a considerable amount of money. Even Xiangbei didn't realize that he had accumulated such a large amount of assets without realizing it.

I bought some medicines of various kinds from Xiangbei. Most of them were healing medicines, detoxifying medicines, and other medicines for restoring spirits. There were also some common medicines like cold medicines.

"But there are still half of these medicines left." Xiangbei could actually buy some more medicine, but he couldn't spend all his money on this. Although money was not that important to him, it was not completely useless - at least he would need to use the money to eat later!

"What should we do with these?"

"It doesn't matter. Xiangbei, you've already helped me sell half of the medicine. That's good enough." Mian Yue Yiji was very satisfied with this. "If I were to rely on myself alone, I probably wouldn't be able to sell even a bottle of medicine."

"That's true, but after all, I said I would help you, and I also want to make this matter look good."

Xiangbei rubbed his head and suddenly thought of a way to solve this problem.

"No, I think I really know how to sell these potions..."

……

……

"Well, it's indeed a very good potion. I bought all of it."

Aqiu Ruta sat in front of Xiangbei and Yiji Mianyue. Although she was not very old, she always gave people a warm and friendly feeling when dealing with people.

"Our family's guards are in desperate need of these potions. We've always wanted to buy them but couldn't find a place to buy them. We're so grateful that you're able to sell them to us this time."

"You're welcome. It would be a great help to me if you could buy them." Yiji responded politely. She was also very happy to be able to sell all the medicines.

The buyer is satisfied, the seller is satisfied too. It's a pretty good deal.

Xiangbei drank the tea brought by the servants of the Lutian family...well, it's hard to explain. After all, he didn't like drinking tea, but after staying in the old hell for so long, he also wanted to drink some water to moisten his throat, so if it didn't taste good, it didn't matter. It was not like he couldn't drink it.

This was not Xiangbei's first time to come to the Lutian family... Although this was indeed his first visit, he had indeed met Lutian Aqiu once before when he was in the human village.

I didn't expect that she could still recognize me... It seems that this is the so-called photographic memory?

After the transaction was completed, the few people did not leave. After Yiji and Aqiu chatted for a while, Aqiu suddenly spoke.

"Ms. Yiji, I have an unwelcome request.

It’s inappropriate to talk about it.”

"But it doesn't matter."

"Well, the book 'The Origin of Gensokyo' compiled by our clan records most of the non-human species that have appeared in Gensokyo so far, but Miss Kanyori is not included in the book, so I would like to include you. I hope you can give me your permission."

Yiji was embarrassed when she heard this. She had originally entered Gensokyo secretly to hide her tracks. It was already bad to have contact with outsiders, and now it would be recorded in the book... Well, she was selling medicine on the street among people. It was not really a secret. Who knows, the gap monster might be watching them nearby, and her sister's talk about sneaking into Gensokyo was just a lie made up to tease her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, please forget what I said just now." Seeing Yiji in trouble, Aqiu didn't force her.

"No, it's nothing actually." After struggling a little, Watatsuki Iji remembered that her master and Kaguya seemed to be in the book, so she was not so resistant anymore.

"These are not shameful things. Miss Qiu, please remember them if you want."

Besides, Ah Qiu had just helped her a lot, so it would be hard to refuse.

"That's great!" Aqiu said happily.

"By the way, Mr. Xiangbei, why don't you take notes as well? After all, although you are human, you are also a human with extraordinary powers, just like Miss Reimu and Miss Marisa."

"Huh? Me?"

Xiangbei has never cared about this.

"Okay, remember it then."
