Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

After that, Mu Huai carried Hestia in a princess hug and ran to the bathroom. She was so anxious that she patted his arm repeatedly: "Wait, wait a minute, I didn't say I wanted to take a bath with you!!"

"Just a back rub?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Mu Huai put Hestia down in disappointment: "Okay then... I'll wait for you in the bathroom."

"Mu Huai-jun, really...it turns out that boys are beasts in this regard. We need to be more careful."

Hestia patted her chest to calm her pounding heart, then pulled out a small booklet from her captivating ravines: "I must continue studying this book that Hephaestus found."

Under the light, the title of the booklet's cover was illuminated: "One Hundred Tips to Make Boys Can't Stop."

……

The residence of the Soma clan filled with the aroma of wine.

The clan leader, Chanis Lustra, was furious when he heard that the Lv.2 adventurer he had recruited at great expense was killed in the duel arena because he stood up for someone in his clan while he was trading with another clan.

"Useless! They are all a bunch of useless! They can't even beat an ordinary person!"

"But Captain, that ordinary person defeated the Level 3 of Ishtar's Familia!"

"So what? Dying at someone else's hands is a waste! My Farley is wasted!"

The clan members surrounding him were silent, until a fox man who had been roaming the black market for years raised his hand to break the silence: "Captain, I heard that man has become an adventurer. Today, a team saw him exploring alone on the second floor. Should we..."

Members of the Soma clan usually make money by cheating and deceiving others. In the dungeon, they deliberately attract a large number of monsters and throw them to other adventure teams that are struggling to fight, implementing the "monster gift". After the monsters kill the other teams, they take away their equipment and sell it on the black market. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

The fox man's intention at this point was already very clear: to take advantage of Mu Huai's solo exploration, perform a [Monster Gift] on him, and then obtain all the magic and equipment on him.

Chanis's sinister face was hidden in the shadows. He adjusted his glasses and asked, "Is that man really rich?"

"Many people saw him buy several pieces of clothing worth over 10 faris!"

"Very good. I'll leave this matter to you. After it's done, I'll ask the Lord God for permission to give you some extra divine wine next month."

When the fox heard about the divine wine, he turned into a fervent believer, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to Chanis: "Thank you, Captain, thank you, Captain! That little brat called Li something, come with me and get ready!"

Chapter 8 Do you want to sign a contract and become a magical girl?

When Mu Huai entered the underground city for the second time, Xiao Ren, who was extremely sensitive to the smell of people, reminded him in his heart: "Master, there are five people following you."

[Understood. Please continue to help me monitor them.]

【Um. 】

Mu Huai thought it unlikely that they would target a newcomer who was dressed extremely poorly and was even active on the first floor. They were adventurers who specialized in killing and robbing in the dungeon. They were not stupid enough to target someone who had no money at all.

If I think about it this way, then it is most likely that someone from the Soma clan is seeking revenge against me?

In Orario, the number of Lv.1 adventurers accounts for the majority of the total number of adventurers. It is not the case that Lv.3 and 4 are everywhere and Lv.2 is worse than a dog. If a small clan can have a Lv.2 member, it can be ranked in the middle and lower reaches in the clan ranking.

A Level 2 died in his hands, so it was normal for the Soma clan to be unable to swallow this humiliation and send people to follow him and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

After roughly figuring out who was following him, Mu Huai revealed a sinister smirk and attacked them directly to kill them. This was indeed a very convenient approach to ensure that it would not affect his exploration of the dungeon.

However, the floor was too close to the ground, and it was easy for other adventurers to stumble upon their bodies, which would cause some unnecessary trouble.

He planned to take this group to the fifth floor to confirm whether the mine elevator in Stardew Valley would be effective in the dungeon and use the monsters there to kill them.

After finalizing the plan, Mu Huai immediately pretended to be a clumsy novice adventurer, brandishing an ordinary longsword that was completely useless in a narrow cave, and struggled with the goblins.

His outrageous performance also made the Soma clan members who were watching from a distance behind him suspicious.

"Is this the guy who once defeated a Level 3? How come he can't even defeat a goblin?"

"Are we following the wrong person?"

The fox leader snorted disdainfully, a sharp glint of "I see through everything" flashing in his eyes: "Didn't you notice that he didn't use that legendary magic item? Either the magic item is damaged and can't be used, or the magic item has a limited number of uses and he's already used it up!"

"That seems to make sense, so let's..."

"idiot!"

The fox man lowered his voice and scolded his younger brother: "This is the first floor. Do you want others to see us attacking others now?"

The Adventurer's Guild will not take the initiative to intervene in the grudges and disputes between adventurers, but if someone commits murder and robbery in the dungeon and is seen and reported by others, the murderer will be severely held accountable and wanted.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I just thought of the divine wine... and I couldn't help myself."

"Shut up and don't drink refreshing wine at a time like this!"

The fox man swallowed the saliva that kept secreting from his mouth and forced his attention to tracking Mu Huai.

As time went on, when they followed Mu Huai to the third floor, he became more and more certain of his guess about the magic props.

The opponent took evasive actions against the monsters along the way and did not dare to take the initiative to fight. He even took out the magic prop from under his cloak several times while resting and sighed. It was obvious that some accident had occurred and he could not use it.

A magical item powerful enough to defeat Lv.3 adventurers!

Greed completely controlled the fox adventurer. Even when he saw Mu Huai continue to walk towards the fourth floor of the dungeon, he ignored the concerns of his younger brothers and gritted his teeth to follow.

As long as I get that magic item, what can a Lv. 2 leader like Chanis do? I can completely replace him and enjoy the share of the divine wine that only the leader can enjoy!

When they reached the entrance of the fifth floor, the fox man used magic wine to coerce and bribe the younger brothers who were unwilling to move forward, forcing them to continue following him, and promised to take action on this floor.

After finally stabilizing the team, the fox adventurer led the way into the fifth floor and saw that Mu Huai's figure had disappeared into the dark and deep cave, and even the remaining smell in the air was very thin.

He was afraid that the duck at his fingertips would fly away, so he immediately quickened his pace to follow the scent.

What the group had no idea was that as they hurriedly followed the scent, they suddenly stumbled into the gathering place of the dungeon lizard monsters at the next corner.

These hunters, who were about the same height as adults and had brown skin, were hanging in a disorderly manner from the ceiling. When they sensed that humans had intruded into their territory, they immediately spit out their long, arrow-like tongues and pierced through the fragile head of a stunned adventurer.

"Pfft!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Warm brain matter and blood instantly sprayed onto the face of the adventurer behind him. His face lost all color and his legs trembled constantly.

"Boss, isn't it better for us to run away?"

"Shut up! No one is leaving until we get that guy's money!"

The dungeon lizard rolled its tongue and immediately lifted the adventurer's body into the air. His body drooped and hung on the ceiling, blood dripping from his limbs to the ground with a patter. The other dungeon lizards kept using their tongues to dig small holes in the body and eat the meat.

The bloody and bizarre scene frightened the werewolf brother who had never been to the fifth floor. In fear, he ignored the divine wine and the boss's threats, threw the torch in his hand at the lizard, turned around and ran away.

His action instantly angered the dark-loving dungeon lizard. Its sharp claws rustled on the dungeon's stone walls, and it crawled on the ceiling at a ghostly speed.

With the first deserter, the already unstable team was shattered, and everyone began to flee for their own lives. The fox man looked at the monsters, which numbered more than a dozen, and knew that simply running away would not allow him to survive.

A cruel gleam flashed in his eyes, and he drew his sword and swung it at the leg of a shorter figure among his companions.

"what!!"

The dwarf who was ambushed by the fox man let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground, with a lot of blood spurting out of his legs, and he completely lost the ability to move.

"Hehehe, you useless little brat, you better make the most of your last bit of value and buy me some time to escape!"

"You bastard!!!"

Using her last bit of strength to vent the anger in her heart, Lilyluka lay on the cold ground with her eyes gradually becoming unfocused, letting despair consume her bit by bit.

Adventurers are really a bunch of complete bastards. I am also a cowardly waste. I didn’t even know to sneak attack others earlier than that guy so that I could survive.

Although she couldn't see the ceiling, she knew from the strange rustling sounds above her head that she would soon have a tongue pierce her head and die meaninglessly in the dungeon, just like her two irresponsible parents.

Just as she closed her eyes and waited for death, a frightened and terrified shout of the fox man came from the darkness.

"You, how could you!?"

"boom!"

The steady footsteps gradually approached Lilyluka. The dungeon lizards recognized the terrifying two-legged upright ape that had driven them to a place, and retreated to their original area like a tide.

Having escaped death, she immediately ran towards the direction of the footsteps and called for help: "Is there anyone there? Help me!!"

When Lilyluka saw who was coming, her heart immediately sank to the bottom. She rubbed her face hard on the ground twice until it was covered with dust.

Mu Huai squatted beside her with a torch in hand and asked with a smile: "Girl in deep despair, would you like to sign a contract with me and become a magical girl?"

Chapter 9: Divine Wine is Not as Good as CCB

"Adventurer, please bring me back to the surface. My legs were injured by that treacherous bastard's sneak attack. I will definitely repay you later!"

"The Soma clan's repayment? I can't afford it."

Lililuka's brown pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole in an instant. She never expected that Mu Huai actually knew that she was from the Soma clan.

Could it be... that he knew we were following him, so he deliberately came to the fifth floor to set a trap?

Thinking of this, she immediately changed her strategy, choking up and starting to play the victim: "Lily is just a weak supporter. They forcibly captured me to help, and if I didn't obey, they would beat me... wuwuwu."

"Lily? Lily Luka?"

"Ah... yes, yes, I am."

Lilyluka was so frightened by the sudden call of her real name that her whole body froze. She had just deliberately smudged her face in order to avoid revealing her true appearance to Mu Huai, but she didn't expect that the other party would guess her identity with just one sentence.

Unexpectedly meeting this military advisor who had not yet grown up, Mu Huai gave up the idea of ​​killing her to silence her. Instead, he took out a healing potion and fed it to her, then bandaged the wound on her leg with a bandage.

"Adventurer?"

Lilyluka was confused by his actions. She had just thought that she would be killed if she was recognized, but not only did she not die, the other party also helped to heal her wounds.

"That should be enough. Even though I can't move, at least the wound won't get infected."

Mu Huai carried his designated future military advisor on his back and took some time to reach the exit to the fourth floor. He glanced at the mine elevator next to him with the light on, and his heart was filled with joy.

I gained a military advisor and opened the mine elevator. They also took the initiative to help me build my reputation. Why don’t I treat the Soma clan as my white moonlight?

Who can withstand such a relentless pursuit of gold coins?

Lililuka, lying on Mu Huai's back, was full of thoughts. She looked at Mu Huai, who was completely defenseless against her, and his neck so close to her. The thought of stabbing him with the knife on her leg came to her mind more than once.

Don’t you hate adventurers the most? Kill him, then hide, heal your wounds with potions, and go back to your clan alone to claim your reward. Then you can drink more divine wine next month!

He might just be pretending to be a good person. When we get to another floor, he might throw me into a pile of monsters and watch me get killed by them for fun.

Lilyluka put her right hand on the hilt of the knife several times, but she hesitated to hold it. Feeling the warmth and peace of mind coming from her chest, she finally moved her hand away from the hilt and chose to trust others one last time.

After making this choice, she felt much more relaxed. She closed her eyes and, like a grass that had been dry for a long time and finally found some sweet dew, she breathed in the reassuring scent from Mu Huai.

After leaving the underground city, Mu Huai asked her for the address of the Soma clan, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the Soma clan's residence in the slums.

Looking at the listless and drunk adventurer at the door, Mu Huai frowned slightly and shouted louder, "Where is the Soma God? I want to see him!"

The other person weakly raised his eyelids and looked at him: "God Soma does not see outsiders. If you want to buy the divine wine, you have to find the captain."

"I'm here to convert this little guy behind me."

"Random? The price is not cheap."

"Do not talk nonsense."

Mu Huai casually threw out a bag of money and said, "Hurry up and help me call your leader."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a good thing?"

The adventurer, who had been drowsy just now, immediately perked up and took the initiative to walk ahead and lead him to the simple wooden table with empty bottles on it. "Sit here first. I'll go find the leader."

"Adventurer..."

Lilyluka was about to ask a question when she was immediately stopped by Mu Huai.

"Shh, don't talk, just pretend to be asleep."

"Ok."

Upon learning that the fat sheep he sent people to assassinate was not only alive, but also brought an injured loser with him to convert, Chanis immediately left the luxurious captain's office and followed the guard to Mu Huai.

He put away his former sinister and cruel expression and replaced it with a friendly and warm smile: "Isn't this Mr. Mu Huai, who was very famous in the duel arena before? Your presence is really an honor to our Suma clan!"

"Forget the politeness. I want to convert her. What are the conditions?"

"Um... excuse me for asking a question, but how did you meet her?"

"I heard screams while exploring the fifth floor. I followed the sound and saw her and the rest of her companions collapsed on the ground. I managed to rescue them."
