Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

Akina Sawa also felt the overwhelming beauty.

Look there!

Fujiwara no Mokou punched through it...

Blood and debris rained down from the sky, bathed in sunlight.

The two mangled bodies crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a layer of dirt.

It looks like we won't need to fertilize this year.

Having seen enough, Akina Ze walked over expressionlessly, picked them up from the ground, one in each arm...

Inside the room, Nikua was having a great time playing with the controller that Kaguya Houraisan had brought.

Fighting is absolutely out of the question!

What are the priestesses talking about in Chapter Fourteen?

"Scalpel"

Wiping sweat

"Wire"

"Scalpel"

Inside a white mansion in the Magic Forest, a tense surgery that allows no room for error is underway.

The little doll dressed as a nurse is following instructions and constantly performing tasks such as handing over tools and wiping sweat.

The "doctor" who issued the command was Alice.

Alice, who is the "doctor," has a small doll placed on the table as her "patient."

At this moment, the little doll's body was covered with a white cloth, and Alice was performing a replacement surgery on it.

Even dolls made with a little magic, a little tailoring skill, and a little mechanical technology still require surgery.

Even dolls experience wear and tear from daily labor.

Various parts need to be replaced when they are worn out to a certain extent; otherwise, a small change will affect the whole thing, causing the doll to become completely paralyzed.

Therefore, in order to prevent these dolls from breaking down and becoming unable to complete their work efficiently, Alice would give them regular check-ups.

If damaged parts are found, they will be removed and replaced with new parts, just like we are doing now.

"Whoo~"

After completing the highly precise surgery, Alice finally relaxed, raised her hand to take off her glasses, and picked up the "former patient" placed on the table to examine her carefully.

Postoperative observation and rehabilitation are also essential.

Her damaged right arm has been removed and replaced with a new one.

Alice pinched the palm of her new arm and gently swung it from side to side to test for any blockages.

The doll's new arm swung without encountering any extra resistance during the test.

Great, it seems the surgery was very successful.

Alice nodded in satisfaction and released her grip.

The healed doll naturally flew towards the small cleaning tool where it was placed.

After all, maintaining a clean environment in a Western-style house is very important.

"Alice!"

A voice approached from afar, and before Alice could even open the door, the owner of the voice, Marisa, burst in on her broomstick.

Many withered leaves were blown into the Western-style building by the strong wind that Marisa was flying through.

Alice, holding her magic book, stood on the second floor and said with a slight frown:

"Marisa! Why didn't you knock again!"

"Because knocking on the door isn't cool at all, daze~"

As she answered, Marisa released the broom from her hand, and the broom automatically flew to a corner and landed.

"Humph!"

Alice, who had already reached the first floor, gave a soft hum and clapped her hands.

Then four or five little dolls emerged from the kitchen, carrying plates, desserts, light tea, and the like.

They were neatly arranged on the small round table.

"Sit down," Alice said, gesturing for Marisa to sit down in the chair opposite her.

"Alice, you're the one controlling these puppets, so why are you clapping your hands?"

Marisa plopped down and asked curiously.

"Because it looks cool that way too," Alice said, tilting her head back.

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing this, Marisa couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Marisa covered her mouth, suppressing a laugh, and said, "Hahahaha, Alice, you're not cool at all, you're more like a housekeeper, hahahaha!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Alice, annoyed and embarrassed by her failed attempt to imitate Marisa, reached out and pinched both of Marisa's cheeks, pulling hard...

"Ouch~" Feeling the pain on her face, Marisa quickly begged for mercy, "Alice, I was wrong! I was wrong, I shouldn't have laughed at you, please stop pinching me!"

......

After the farce, Marisa covered her cheeks and cautiously watched Alice's every move.

Is Alice still angry?

Meanwhile, Alice, who had been under Marisa's watchful eye, calmly took a candied peach from the plate of desserts and ate it in small bites.

Alice quickly and carefully ate the entire small piece of peach.

She took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, removing the crumbs, then turned to Marisa and said:

"Marisa, why are you staring at me like that?"

"I didn't say you couldn't eat it!"

Several pieces of fruit, still exuding a mixed aroma of honey and the sweetness of peaches, were placed on the porcelain plate.

The pristine white plate highlights the honey-cured peaches, which possess an indescribable deliciousness.

But Marisa still didn't take out a piece to taste; instead, she sat there blankly, lost in thought.

What's wrong with Marisa today? This is nothing like her.

Alice looked at Marisa with some confusion.

"Ugh, I've run into some trouble lately."

Marisa gave a wry smile, picked up a piece of peach from the plate, and put it in her mouth.

"Tell me about it," Alice said, curious about what could have made the usually optimistic Marisa so downcast.

"Recently, I've noticed that Reimu and that guy from the Moriya Shrine have inexplicably gotten back together."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Alice said.

Marisa didn't answer, but just shook her head with a wry smile. She took another piece of peach from the white porcelain plate and put it in her mouth, as if trying to cover up the bitterness in her heart with the sweetness of the peach.

"If only it were that simple..." Marisa paused, then continued after a moment's thought, "Yesterday, I saw the weather was nice and thought I'd go to the Hakurei Shrine to visit Reimu, but I unexpectedly ran into Sanae Kochiya."

"I was thinking that since Sanae is here too, it wouldn't be bad for the three of us to play together, but..."

Marisa stopped talking at this point.

Alice understood immediately and picked up a peach from the porcelain plate, feeding it to Marisa.

Marisa mumbled between chewing a peach, "Reimu saw me and actually closed the door!"

"Perhaps she has something important to say," Alice said, stroking Marisa's hair to comfort her.

"What important thing could they possibly be doing? Are they just dividing up the territory of the Human Village?" Marisa complained.

"That's not impossible, Marisa. Think about it, they're all shrine maidens, right?" Alice analyzed, considering the current situation. "Maybe they're talking about shrine maidens and don't want you to overhear."

"But you can't just close the door as soon as you see me, can you? I did put a few copper coins in the donation box."

Despite Alice's words of comfort, Marisa remained somewhat sullen.

Alice, who rarely wanted to be a caring older sister, patted Marisa's head and said.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad. Did you like the candied peaches I made?"

"It's alright, just not sweet enough. Did you leave it out too long?" Marisa said, smacking her lips.

"..." A vein popped out on Alice's forehead.

Chapter Fifteen: The little raisins are so delicious!

"So, you two are just going to stay here and not leave?"

"What do you mean by 'refusing to leave'? I came here on important business."

Fujiwara no Mokou said without turning her head.

She was engaged in a fierce battle at that moment.

A fighting game limited to one screen and two controllers.

"So, your real business is just playing video games at my house...?"

Akina Ze sat to the side, his lips twitching slightly.

"Enough with the talk, quickly bring me the raisins."

Needless to say, the one who fought against Fujiwara no Mokou was Houraisan Kaguya.

After the two guys finished fighting, Akina Sawa also dragged them into the house. They recovered in no time, and apart from some torn clothes, there was no trace of the battle they had just fought.

Akina Ze, somewhat impatient, crossed his arms and said:

"Why should I give you raisins when you don't pay for them and are using my electricity to play games?"

"Waaaah~ I never imagined you were such a heartless and ungrateful person, forgetting even the things I did for you."

"...If you could put down the controller you're holding, turn around, and cry a little more genuinely when you say that, maybe I'd believe you."

"Tsk." Seeing that feigning tears was ineffective, Kaguya Houraisan, unwilling to give up the battle at hand, chose to abandon her disguise altogether.

"Hahaha~ Is this the princess of the Moon Capital? Nothing special." Fujiwara no Mokou burst out laughing when she saw Houraisan Kaguya's discomfiture. "Let me do it."

Fujiwara no Mokou turned to look at Akina Sawa and said seriously:

"Brother Akina, give me a plate of raisins, just put it on Huiyin's tab."

Why not take advantage of a free business opportunity? Akina Ze shrugged and walked out the door. "I remember there are still a few boxes of raisins left over from the summer in the storage warehouse."

Seeing that Akina Sawa obediently went to get the raisins, Fujiwara no Mokou said with a smug look:

"Kaguya, did you see that? Your words don't carry the same weight as mine."

"Hmph! It's just bookkeeping, what's there to be proud of!"

Although Kaguya Houraisan spoke dismissively, her actions became more skillful, catching Fujiwara no Mokou's character off guard.

......

Akina Sawa casually walked in after opening the basement door where the ingredients were stored.

"Seriously, it's my house, why do I have to cater to their video game playing? The more I think about it, the more I feel cheated..."

Akina Ze shook his head, looking helpless.

In front of me is a row of wooden shelves with three sections: high, medium, and low.

"It should be placed at the very bottom, right?"

Following the memory in his brain about how raisins were arranged, Akina Sawa also squatted down.
