Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

That's why you can't use the dining table while playing games, and you need to put away your peripherals when you do use the dining table.

The two are incompatible.

If it weren't for the fact that it was time to eat, Akina Sawa wouldn't have bothered to care how late Kaguya Houraisan was going to play.

Hey ~

Akina Sawa also let out a long sigh, looking helplessly at Kaguya Houraisan before him.

How can I gently and effectively get her to put down the game and give up the space that's been taken up...?

After all, eating without a dining table always feels a bit less ceremonial, and even the food in your mouth tastes a bit less delicious.

Just when Akina Sawa was at a loss for what to do...

"Woooooo~"

Nikua leaned against the door with teary eyes, occasionally stealing a glance at Akina Zeya, her little hands rubbing together incessantly.

Rubbing your hands together is a common action when people are nervous. For example, some people play with their fingers to relieve tension. In particular, it varies from person to person.

Akina Ze also noticed that there was solidified tear on Nikua's lower eyelashes, heavy and bending her eyelashes.

Oh dear, those golden tears are about to fall at any moment.

Nikua probably thinks that the reason we haven't eaten yet is because I haven't forgiven her, so she's not cooking tonight, right?

How can this be.

Even if I'm really angry, I still can't skip my three meals a day.

After all, eating is the most important thing in the world.

"Hey, Kaguya-san, that's enough, it's time to eat."

Unable to hold back any longer, Akina Sawa urged again.

"Wait a minute! Just a little longer!"

It's the same old recipe, the same old words.

How long exactly is "a while"...?

I'm sorry, Kaguya-san, you forced me to use my ultimate move.

As we all know, what is the best way to deal with people who are addicted to games?

It's an internet outage.

So what's the best way to deal with people who are addicted to games and refuse to eat?

It's a power outage.

Just gently unplug this plug from the power strip... listen...

"what!!!!!!!"

"I'm almost there!!!!!"

The piercing screams were deafening.

This means the method worked; you successfully pulled him or her away from the computer desk.

but...

The consequences of doing this vary from person to person, so caution is advised...

Let's speed up the minute hand to 10x...

After some time.

Akina Sawa also brought out a large plate from the steamy kitchen.

Okay~

"Today's main course is cheese shrimp, with fried sturgeon strips as a side dish, plus a serving of offal miso soup~"

"Dang-dang-dang!"

The incredibly awkward recitation of the menu and the terribly low-quality manual voiceover were not impromptu ideas of Akina Sawa.

This was an action he took after careful consideration.

All of this is for ----------Kaguya Houraisan.

Ever since Akina Sawa also unplugged her power cord.

Many things happened in the instant the second hand moved.

First, during the 0.1 to 0.3 seconds when the screen turns off.

Kaguya Houraisan's expression was one of astonishment.

Then in 0.3 to 0.4 seconds.

His expression quickly shifted to confusion and shock.

The last 0.4 to 1 second is a musical solo time.

This piece of music is filled with Kaguya Houraisan's emotions.

It allows everyone who hears it to feel the singer's deep emotions.

The birds, moved by what they heard, landed on the ground; the cicadas, moved by what they heard, tumbled down from the tree to the ground.

Nikua, moved by what she heard, crawled into the well, while Akina Sawa, also moved, turned into a grotesque figure.

Only a master could achieve this effect.

Unfortunately, Kaguya Houraisan fell into deep seclusion after this shocking piece of music.

After all, artists are bound to have some flaws.

Therefore, in order to help Master Kaguya out of her depression, Akina Ze specially brought out his own treasured prawns and the highest quality sturgeon to make a delicious meal, which was his best effort.

"Miss Kaguya, please try some...it's delicious..."

The prawns, glowing red and radiating the aroma of cheese, sit on the plate with a layer of creamy white with a hint of yellow charred crust.

But Kaguya remained in that final state, her mouth slightly open, looking utterly shocked.

Unmoved by the delicious food in front of them.

Meanwhile, Nikua was already wolfing down her food, and even had her eyes on Akina Zeya.

This shows that the food wasn't messed up; it was indeed very delicious.

"Can't even food wake up Kaguya-sama...?"

Akina Ze also wore a bitter expression; he was truly at his wit's end.

Looking at the food on the table, Akina Ze also fell into a state of melancholy.

How delicious it is to top plump, red shrimp meat with a layer of baked cheese!

Looking at Kaguya Houraisan's slightly parted lips.

Ok?

Open?

Ok?

Small mouth?

Ok?

Suddenly, a bold plan popped into Akina Sawaya's mind.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

"Miss Kaguya, if it's true, please forgive me; if it's not, please forgive me!"

Akina Ze also moved closer to Kaguya, gently scooping a spoonful of tender red shrimp meat from her plate with a gleaming silver spoon, drizzling it with cheese, and slowly moving it to Kaguya's lips.

That's right, this so-called daring plan was to directly stuff delicious food into Kaguya Houraisan's mouth.

I believe that with the help of delicious food, Kaguya Houraisan will surely be able to return to normal.

Akina Sawa also deeply believes in the power of food.

"Ah woo~"

Suddenly, Kaguya Houraisan bit the spoon that was brought to her lips.

With a gentle bite, the food inside fell out.

"Hmph, you're scared just because I used a little trick!"

Kaguya Houraisan said incoherently.

"Whoo~"

Seeing this, Akina Ze breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

I thought you were really upset.

"It's better if it's fake, it's better if it's fake."

"Hey!" Kaguya Houraisan suddenly frowned and slapped Zeya Akina on the shoulder. "You didn't actually think I was serious just now, did you!"

Akina Sawa slowly picked up a fried sturgeon stick and put it in his mouth, chewing it leisurely. After a long while, he slowly said:

"Hmm...who knows?"

"..."

Chapter Twenty: Just One Night

A sore and tingling sensation came from my eyelids, making me really not want to open my eyes.

But there was nothing that could be done; the sun was already high in the sky.

Although the winter sun is not fierce or scorching, prolonged exposure can still make people feel a burning sensation.

I simply couldn't go back to sleep.

"Hmm~"

Akina Ze forced his eyes open and swayed as he stood up from the ground, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

This is all thanks to staying up all night yesterday.

After finishing her meal, Kaguya Houraisan didn't leave but continued playing games.

If that were all, it would be fine. Just close the door, stuff two cotton balls in his ears, and no matter how much fun Kaguya Houraisan had, it wouldn't disturb his sleep.

but......

Kaguya Houraisan actually said that playing alone was too boring and that she needed someone to play with her.

Upon hearing this, Akina Sawa smiled and nodded in agreement.

It's just about finding someone to play with; I happen to have a great kettle at home.

Anyway, Nikua wouldn't refuse.

However, Akina Ze underestimated the habits of the Moon Princess.

She actually complained that Nikua was too weak, dying in no time and not even as strong as the AI, and insisted that Akina Sawa play with her too.

Those who come are guests.

Even if the guests are not particular, the host still has to be.

There was nothing else to do but let Akina Sawa spend a little more time with Houraisan Kaguya.

But how long did this "short while" actually last?

......
