Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

Suddenly, Marisa felt a force traveling down her waist.

Looking back, I saw Alice holding down her skirt, which was being blown about by the wind, with one hand, while controlling the dolls with the other.

Under Alice's control, one doll after another clung to Marisa, working together to pull her backward.

"Alice"

Marisa seemed to want to say something in gratitude, but the next moment, the large creature in the water became even more ferocious, and a powerful pull came from the rope. She had no choice but to keep her lips tightly closed and use all her strength to pull.

On the shore, Remilia remained languidly seated on a cushioned chair, while Izayoi Sakuya stared with a dark expression at the approaching shadow in the fog, several gleaming silver daggers already subtly appearing in her hand.

Anyone who disturbs my intimate moment with the young lady deserves to die!

On the small boat, Marisa and Alice's dolls compete with the large creature.

As the boat drew closer to the shore, Marisa keenly noticed that the tension from the ropes was gradually decreasing.

"Alice, give it your all! The fish in the water are running out of strength!"

Upon hearing the news, Alice at the stern of the ship simply nodded slightly, as it was still quite difficult to contend with the oncoming gale using only one hand.

Although there was no one else beside Marisa on the lake, Alice did not give up her elegant demeanor, as a lady must always maintain her grace.

Marisa quickly stood up again. The force from the rope had lessened considerably, but it was still a little short.

The small boat continued to glide across the lake, with Marisa holding the fishing rod with both hands, standing quietly at the bow and waiting.

Like a chivalrous knight waiting for the right moment to strike.

Just when people on the shore could clearly see Marisa standing at the bow of the ship.

The time has come! Marisa opened her slightly narrowed eyes, and a bolt of lightning shot out from them!

She used her waist to exert force, pressed her left hand on the head of the fishing rod, and gripped the middle part with her right hand to exert force.

"ah!"

With the strength to uproot mountains, a giant spin was completed in an instant.

Looking at the giant, black mushroom that had been fished out of the water, Marisa smiled with relief.

"I did it..."

The next second, the black mushroom flying in the air seemed to undergo some kind of chemical reaction, and a red line spread from the inside out, covering its entire body.

"Boom!" A dazzling light appeared!

In an instant, it seemed as if two suns appeared in the sky.

"Wow, it's the sun!"

Under the parasol, Remilia was stunned. She had never imagined that she would be so close to the sun one day, and the cup in her hand slipped from her grasp.

The next moment, dazzling light illuminated the entire shore of the Misty Lake.

Even the kappa working on the Scarlet Devil Mansion reconstruction project put down their work and watched the sun gradually rise over the lake.

A dark shadow flashed by, and Flandre, who was engrossed in operating the crane in the cabin, also disappeared without a trace.

Patchouli, locked inside the little black box, is probably unaware of what is happening in the outside world.

......

"Is this what you meant by 'that thing'?"

Near the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Akina Sawa stared in disbelief at the distant "sun".

The light was so intense that staring at it almost brought tears to my eyes.

"Yes, look how bright the light it emits is!"

Shameimaru Aya, who was holding Akina Sawaya, said with a smile.

Chapter Eight Light

The fishing line broke...

And the sun mushroom—no, it should be called the sun mushroom now.

The sun mushrooms, radiating intense light, were like birds freed from their cages, soaring freely in the air and flying towards the real sun.

A violent photothermal reaction is taking place inside the sun mushroom.

The world seemed to have suddenly switched from winter to summer, with temperatures soaring and snow melting everywhere, as streams flowed into the leisurely flowing rivers.

The snow on the trees melted into water droplets and fell from the branches. Lady stretched out her hand, and droplets of water fell into her palm. Her body gradually became transparent.

Winter isn't over yet...

Cirno, who was holding a frozen frog in her hands, witnessed this scene. With a "clatter," the frozen frog slipped from Cirno's hands, fell to the ground, and broke into several pieces. This was something she had been freezing since summer, intending to show it to Lady...

The cycle of the four seasons has been disrupted; this is already an anomaly.

Reimu Hakurei stretched and crawled out of the warm kotatsu. The lingering chill in the air made her shiver. She bent down, groped around on the floor for a while, found the carelessly discarded exorcism wand, and waved it a few times in the air, shaking off the loose dust.

"I'd like to see who's causing trouble this time?" Reimu Hakurei covered her face with her hands and breathed on it.

The dignified urban management officers were forced to take up their posts.

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

Lake of Mist, the site of the anomaly.

Alice tenderly tidied her slightly burnt hair, a sight that evoked both Penglai and Shanghai.

She had just tried to use the puppet to take down the "sun" in the sky, but Alice underestimated the heat emitted by the sun mushroom.

Even as the Penglai and Shanghai figures, crafted from materials from the Demon Realm, approached the Sun Mushroom, wisps of black smoke began to rise from their bodies. This was a sign that their clothes were about to catch fire.

The sun mushroom flew too far, and the temperature was too high to get close to it.

"It seems we have no choice but to use that move."

Extending her thumb to measure the angle between herself and the sun mushroom, ensuring the three points were in a straight line, Marisa straightened her hat, took a deep breath, and took the mini octagonal stove out of her bag.

A ripple spread across the lake, radiating outwards from Marisa, and the air grew scorching.

“Mas…”

Marisa whispered, azure cross stars twinkling in her eyes, as countless magical powers were poured into the tiny miniature octagonal furnace.

The miniature Bagua furnace, which had accumulated a great deal of magic power, was shaking violently, and the waves on the lake surface became turbulent.

Alice crossed her arms over her chest, and countless silver threads shot out from between her fingers, firmly securing the small boat.

As Aya Shameimaru lowered him from the air, Sawa Akina lay on the ground watching from afar. Although he couldn't sense the presence of magic, he could feel a powerful aura gathering around Marisa.

On the ship, Marisa gripped the stove tightly with both hands, beads of sweat constantly sliding down her temples.

This is a test of magic, and also a test of physical strength.

Soon, the magic power accumulated in the miniature Bagua furnace exceeded the total magic power of an ordinary monster.

Marisa poured in every last drop of the magic power she had accumulated step by step over the years; she had given it all without reservation.

The momentum has reached its peak; let the truth speak for itself in the next moment!

"Master Spark!"

A slightly hoarse shout rang out, and a dazzling light eagerly burst forth from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, instantly forming an extremely thick pillar of light that stretched across the entire sky. Such a size could be clearly seen even by people dozens of kilometers away in the human world.

In just a moment, the "sun," which had been radiating brilliant light, was completely suppressed, and even its own existence was swept away by the beam of light.

In an instant, the sky cleared, the boundless mist over the Lake of Mist dissipated, the fake "sun" went out, and the real sun appeared somewhat less impressive.

The wind came, and the sun mushroom, which was in a vacuum zone and had broken into several pieces, was torn to pieces by the backflow of the wind.

Alice manipulated the puppet to put most of the mushroom fragments into the bag containing the fish.

The matter was over, and Akina Sawa stood up from the ground again, the shocked expression on his face still lingering.

Brilliant, powerful, violent.

"Every time I see Marisa use this spell card, I'm shocked." Akina Ze rubbed his eyes, which were a little sore from not closing them for a long time.

“You’ll get used to it from now on,” said Aya Shameimaru, who had just disappeared and was now back at an unknown time.

As someone who has had her "Master Spark" broken through the "Heavenly Eight Crossroads" seal multiple times, she certainly has the right to say that.

"But this time we've captured some pretty good news!" Aya Shameimaru exclaimed with delight as she flipped through the scenes recorded on her camera.

Whether it was Marisa collapsing on Alice from exhaustion, or Remilia crouching in defense with her head in her hands, she slapped them hard.

Just seeing these photos, Aya Shameimaru already had several good-sounding headlines pop into her head.

"Hey, paparazzi Wen over there, do you know what's going on here?"

The belated Reimu Hakurei landed next to Aya Shameimaru.

Then he saw Akina Zeya standing to the side.

"Hey? Mr. Akina, what are you doing here? It's dangerous here, you know. Shall I take you back?"

Reimu Hakurei walked over to Sawaya Akina and helped him brush off the mud that had gotten on his clothes from lying on the ground.

"No need, Reimu-san, Aya-san brought me here..."

Akina Sawa also explained to Reimu why he was there.

After listening, Reimu Hakurei looked at Aya Shameimaru, who was still organizing materials, with a suspicious expression. When did this guy become so kind?

“Reimu, you still have things to do, right? Marisa is still there by the Lake of Mist, you can go ask her.” Aya Shameimaru hung the camera back on her chest.

"Tsk," Reimu Hakurei scoffed, glanced at Zeya Akina, and then said to Aya Shameimaru, "I'll deal with you when I get back."

Then Reimu Hakurei flew towards the shore of the Misty Lake.

Watching the shrine maiden fly away, Aya Shameimaru took a piece of black mushroom fragment from her bag and handed it to Sawaya Akina.

"Here, take this. Just plant it in the ground and water it properly, and it will shine in the sunlight during the day."

"Is this the second sun that just appeared in the sky?"

“Yes,” Aya Shameimaru replied.

Just now, when the shattered body of "Sun" was blown apart by the wind, one of the gusts of wind was blown by Aya Shameimaru, and she naturally obtained a fragment.

"Can this really be planted in the ground?"

Akina Ze also recalled the appearance of it shining brightly in the air before, and he was a little hesitant to plant it, fearing that his house would burn down.

"It's alright, it's just a small piece, it's not that serious," Aya Shameimaru assured him confidently.

"Oh well."

There was no other way to go, and regardless of whether it was poison or not, Akina Sawa decided to take the gamble.

"let's go."

Just as Aya Shameimaru was standing behind Sawaya Akina, intending to carry him away.

thump~

Like the sound of a bottle being opened, a powerful, unsettling source of magic appeared.

All birds fell silent, and all insects ceased their chirping.

Aya Shameimaru gazed solemnly at the Scarlet Devil Mansion in the distance.

That was a boundless magical power that could change the very fabric of the world.

The Scarlet Devil Mansion reconstruction site.

The kappa hugged each other and cried.

Patchouli, emanating a dark aura, emerged from the kappa's magical transformation room...

Chapter Nine Electricity

"Sakuya, things outside should be over by now, right?"

Remilia yawned softly and casually placed the cup of black tea she was holding on the table beside her.
