Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

Akina Ze also glanced at a certain unspeakable place, swallowing hard without showing any emotion.

"Yo," was Chihiro's greeting. This unassuming nature is probably what defines Chihiro.

Yuri and Chihiro, who had been living in Gensokyo for some time and were gradually getting used to life there, came to visit.

Although they live next door, there haven't been many formal interviews between them; most of the time it's just casual meals.

"Yuri, Chihiro, what do you want to eat this time?"

Akina Sawa asked with practiced ease.

Yuri is a true foodie. Every time she comes, she stays until mealtime and only leaves after finishing her meal.

Xiaoqian is easily embarrassed. Although she's clearly a foodie, she always tells Yuri to eat less and be mindful of her manners. But actually, she eats quite a lot herself.

Of course, Akina Sawa was very welcoming of the two's visit.

There are, of course, many reasons.

Akina Sawa also enjoys cooking for others and likes to hear compliments on his cooking.

Furthermore, since Yuri and Chito are both outsiders, and Akina Sawa brought them into Gensokyo, his favorability towards them was already at its maximum from the start.

People tend to have a favorable feeling towards things that are related to themselves.

"I want to eat potato rice balls made by stuffing square potatoes into rice balls!"

Yuri said without any politeness. Or perhaps that's just her straightforward personality.

"Regular food is fine."

Qianhu remained as conventional as ever, or rather, he restrained himself.

Chitoge also had a tough time; the two of them traveled through the post-apocalyptic world for an unknown amount of time.

Even after arriving in Gensokyo, I still remembered some of the ways of the world.

Apart from the initial help provided by Akina Sawa, Chito mostly took care of their lives in the Human Village.

Furthermore, Akina Sawa had also heard the local residents say that Chito resembled a young lady from a wealthy family.

Others may not know, but Akina Sawa knows their specific situation.

Chito is hardly a young lady; all she owns is a half-track motorcycle that she shares with Yuri, which I heard broke down before she arrived.

His entire body was thin due to malnutrition...

Akina Sawa didn't want to recall the tragic past of Yuri and Chito.

Because it's really heartbreaking.

Unfortunately, Akina Sawaya also has a soft heart...

"Mmm~ What else would you like to eat?"

Akina Ze also asked with a smile.

"…chocolate?"

Qianhu asked tentatively.

Yuri ate most of the chocolates they had previously received, but Chito really wanted some too.

"Very good, I've memorized today's special menu for the two of you. Please go inside and have a seat for a while."

Akina Sawa also stood up, making a strange, unrecognizable gesture with his hands. However, it was still roughly clear that he was inviting them inside.

"Strange, the waiters in the restaurant on TV make this move look so simple, how come I can't do it..." Akina Ze touched his chin awkwardly.

"Wow! Mr. Akina, what is this?"

Yuri's exclamation came from the inner room.

As expected, I still don't have the talent for looking cool...

Akina Sawa shrugged, turned around, and walked back into the house...

"This is called a PS5, it's a game console," Akina Ze said, pointing to the box on the table.

It's been several days since Princess Kaguya was taken away by the rabbit JK girl.

Based on the principle that unused resources are the greatest crime, Akina Ze felt perfectly justified in using this equipment to indulge his gaming addiction.

"Then what is this?"

Chito also pointed curiously to the display screen next to the PS5 box and asked.

"This is the display screen; the game graphics will be shown here," Akina Ze explained, pointing to the screen.

"Is the game the one Yuri used to shoot at cans with a gun?" Chito made a standard aiming motion, aligning the three points in a straight line.

"Hmm..." Akina Sawa scratched his head. This question was a bit difficult to explain; he needed to organize his thoughts. After thinking for a while, he said, "Events like Yuri's, they're included in boxes called PS5."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Yuri's interest was clearly piqued.

The gun she brought was out of bullets, and the sound of gunfire hadn't been heard for a long time.

"With this box, you can start shooting?"

Yuri curiously examined the PS5 placed vertically, occasionally patting the box.

"OK"

Akina Sawa answered affirmatively.

Although he knew they weren't actually the same, since it was still shooting, Yuri might like the variety and coolness of the guns. Who knows?

After briefly instructing Chito on how to operate the PS5, Akina Sawa slipped into the kitchen.

It wasn't that he didn't want to teach Yuri, but Yuri was just too stupid. He couldn't understand even after explaining it several times, while Chito, who wasn't very interested, understood it.

Unfortunately, in order not to miss dinner time, Akina Sawa asked Chito to teach Yuri.

Perhaps Yuri would find it easier to understand if Chito were to teach her.

...........................

"Huo!"

"Clam!"

"call!"

After a series of physically demanding promotional activities, Akina Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the dishes on his plate with satisfaction.

Rice balls, grilled fish, and chocolates garnished on the side.

This dish was conceived by Akina Sawaya on the spot based on their requests.

In the words of Akina Sawaya, it is absolutely delicious!

Satisfied, Akina Sawa pushed open the kitchen door.

"vegetable!"

Qianhu spoke without any mercy.

Yuri faced Chito's reprimand like a primary school student who had done something wrong.

"This...is this?"

Akina Sawa, in disbelief, reached out and rubbed his eyes. But the scene before him remained unchanged.

Chito seemed to only then notice Akina Sawaya standing at the kitchen door, her curved eyebrows and gentle smile playing on her lips.

"Mr. Akina, you've arrived."

Chapter Thirty: Unexpectedly

As the ancients said, one cannot judge a book by its cover.

Akina Sawa also agreed that this was indeed true.

Simply arrange the small portions of food in the empty space on the table.

Akina Ze also sat down by himself, looking at the computer screen with a somewhat surprised expression.

Chito sat solemnly in front of the screen, his hands barely gripping the controller, yet his fingers moved with practiced ease.

With effortless skill, he forced the character controlled by Yuri to retreat steadily, leaving it powerless to retaliate.

"I'm not playing anymore! Qian is bullying me!"

Finally, after yet another failure, Yuri threw the controller away in frustration.

"Chihiro, can't you let me win just once?"

"Games are not to be taken lightly."

Qianhu said in a very serious tone.

"Really~" Yuri's eyes narrowed as she quietly approached Chito's back and wrapped her arms around his chest.

"Yuri!"

Feeling the rubbing against her chest, Chito cried out in surprise and struggled to break free from Yuri's embrace.

"Pfft~"

Seeing the tiny Chito struggling to break free from Yuri's embrace from behind, Akina couldn't help but chuckle.

Sensing the presence of a man beside her, Chito's face flushed red, and she struggled even harder.

"Yuri, stop it!" Chito was almost in tears.

"Alright, alright, Yuri, come and eat first. We have your favorite dishes here!"

Akina Ze also noticed Chihiro's emotions and patted Yuri's arm.

"Hey hey~"

Feeling much better after losing to Chito, Yuri released her grip on Chito's hand.

With eyes shining, he looked at the plate, reached out and grabbed a rice ball that was still piping hot, then popped it into his mouth.

"Yuri, eat slowly. These rice balls are fresh out of the oven, be careful not to burn yourself." Seeing Yuri's eager look, Akina Ze shook his head with a smile.

"Food tastes best when it's hot..."

Yuri swallowed the scalding hot food with difficulty, still managing to say something.

"Xiaoqian, why don't you have a few too?"

Turning his head, Akina Ze also looked at Chito, who was still tidying his clothes, and said.

With a few tears welling up in her eyes, Chito nodded weakly, picked up the fragrant food from the plate, and tentatively took a bite.

"Um!?"

Chito looked at the food in front of her with surprise, and then, like Yuri, she didn't care that it was hot and quickly stuffed it into her mouth, her face full of happiness.

Akina Ze, who was standing to the side, also picked up the tea that had been sitting for a while and had cooled down a bit, and drank it silently.

Unfortunately, Niqua has been lured off somewhere by Cirro again and hasn't even come back for meals.

Thinking of this, Akina Sawa also sighed slightly.

Early this morning, Cirro arrived with her little follower, the great fairy, and a few other fairies that Akinazawa wasn't very familiar with, saying she wanted to take Niqua out to play.

Seeing Nikua's eager expression, Akina Ze agreed, but unexpectedly, she didn't even return for lunch.

Although I don't really want to admit it, it's true that with Cirro around, safety is no longer a concern.

Akina Ze was also worried about what would happen if Nikua came back when he went to rehearse manzai with Marisa in the afternoon.

Wouldn't it be bad for your stomach if you couldn't eat hot food?

Sawaya Akina, caught up in the role of an overbearing father, has forgotten that fairies can survive on dew and have no need to worry about digestive issues. Or perhaps, fairies don't even have digestive systems; their stomachs are just furnaces, only taking in and not giving out.

"Mr. Zeya, is there something you need?"

Although Chito was also immersed in the world of food, she wasn't as deeply engrossed as Yuri. She noticed Akina Zeya, who was deep in thought, standing to the side.

"…this"
