Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

But why did I forget?

Akina Sawa scratched his head in frustration, but couldn't remember anything.

"I found what you wanted."

As they spoke, a cat mushroom was handed to him, and Akina Ze subconsciously took it and looked up.

The girl with light greenish-gray hair smiled faintly, without making any movement, just like an NPC who would not change after the mission was over.

Seeing her like this, Akina Ze was inexplicably moved. He didn't want it to end like this, at least not here.

"Thank you. Is there anything I can do for you?" he said, expressing his gratitude.

"What can I do?" Komeiji Ren looked puzzled. After thinking for a moment, she said with a troubled expression, "The hot spring has been open for a long time, but I don't know why no one comes. Can you help me?"

Is it really a hot spring, and not a soup pot...? Akina Ze also glanced at the nearby pool, where the boiling liquid was already hot enough to be used as geothermal energy.

However, seeing the expectant look on Komeiji's face, Akina Sawa swallowed his words of refusal and said, "Okay, but I need some time to renovate this place. In the current situation, no one should come."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the pool in the distance began to erupt again, sending water columns more than ten meters high into the sky. With a loud rumble, boiling water splashed all over the ground. It can only be said that friends who like to eat hot meat are in luck, as it is all-natural and full of minerals.

"Okay, I believe you." Komeiji Ren smiled happily.

This is a smile that shouldn't appear in the shadows; if he could, he would prefer it to be under the sun, in a field of lush green flowers.

"Strange? What are you muttering to yourself over there?"

A few meters away, Marisa Kirisame was tossing a piece of obsidian she had just broken off up in her hand, looking over here with a puzzled expression.

“I…” Akina Sawa also turned his head to explain Komeiji Koishi’s existence, but a soft sentence came to his ear.

"This is a secret between us~"

He turned around in surprise, only to find that Komeiji Ren, who had just been talking to him, had disappeared once again.

Like summer snowflakes, disappearing before they even touch the ground, but this time, Akina Sawa's memories did not fade. Komeiji Koishi's image was deeply etched into his mind, along with the promise they had just made.

Wow! When did you find the cat mushroom?

As she approached with suspicion, Marisa immediately noticed the cat mushroom in Akina Zeya's hand and exclaimed in surprise.

Qiu Mingze opened his mouth, wanting to explain that it was a gift from someone else, but because of what he had just said, he couldn't say anything more and could only shake his head and chuckle:

"I guess I was lucky to see it."

"Good, good, objective achieved. Let's leave now."

The underground environment was indeed spectacular at first glance, but the longer she stayed, the more bored she became. The scenery was monotonous, and although the underground world was vast, it could not compare to the land under the blue sky. Marisa wanted to go back to the surface.

Moreover, Marisa has now obtained a large piece of obsidian, and she can't wait to go home and conduct experiments.

Nodding, Akina Swamp was also a bit boring, both visually and physically, and there were hardly any plants underground, making the journey quite dull.

Now that I've got the cat mushroom, it's time to go back. I can only hope it will be useful.

He glanced at the road he had come from; it was quite a long way. He decided to start walking back now, hoping he could get home before dark.

Suddenly, Akina Sawa also noticed that Marisa had tugged at the hem of his clothes, and he looked over in confusion.

"Hurry up and get on, it's time for a race DA☆ZE!" Marisa said with a smile, patting the empty seat behind her while sitting on her broom.

Finally, they were able to get on a vehicle. Shrugging, Akina Ze took a big step and sat down behind Marisa. However, with the broom crammed with the two of them, the space was a bit cramped.

"Hold on tight!" Marisa instructed, preparing for her ascension.

"Okay." With that, Akina Ze hugged Marisa's waist, which was the safest position to ride the Witch Express.

"Hmm~"

Even through her thick clothes, Marisa could still feel the intense heat emanating from her. She felt as if she were being tightly gripped by hot tongs, with a constant stream of heat surging through her, yet she couldn't escape.

"What's wrong?" The space was a bit cramped, so Akina Zeya had to rest his chin on Marisa's shoulder to ask.

"No, nothing, get ready for takeoff!"

Feeling the unusual sensation of being hugged around the waist, Marisa shook her head, banishing her reverie, and propelled her broom straight out, leaving a dazzling streak in the sky.

The oncoming gale blew against his face, and the heat that had accumulated in his body from the scorching sun quickly dissipated. Not understanding why Marisa didn't activate her shield to protect against the wind, Akina could only lower his head and avoid it.

Although he often teased Marisa about whether she had gained weight, the strong wind revealed her slender curves under her thick clothes. Her delicate waist looked somewhat fragile at the moment, and he was afraid that he might break it if he accidentally used too much force.

The way they came was unclear, but the way back was clear. The two flew through the air and were about to leave the area.

As Akina Sawa ducked to avoid the wind, he also saw a large bird's nest hanging on the cliff in the distance, made entirely of countless branches, and the Flame Cat Rin who had led the way earlier seemed to be crawling into one of the holes.

But it was only a glance before Marisa's broom sped past...

A meteor streaked across the sky above the old capital. The lonely Bridge Princess sat on the deserted bridge, gazing at the sky above the center of the earth, her eyes closed and her hands clasped together as if she were saying something.

......

The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together.

Under the blue sky, the sun was already setting in the west, and the two sat in silence.

So much has happened today. Akina Ze, clutching the cat mushroom and silently holding Marisa, is deep in thought.

In the distance, wisps of smoke began to rise from the village, and on the ground, the Akina family mansion was clearly visible. Akina Sawa sighed inwardly; today's journey was probably over.

Marisa swooped down and landed precisely in the courtyard on her broom.

Aya Shameimaru, who was copying a newspaper by hand in the study, came out when she heard the noise. She saw Akina Sawa hugging Marisa's waist and then jumping off the broom. Her face immediately darkened.

However, Akina Sawa was currently facing away from the house and didn't see the reporter who came out, while Marisa did see her.

She chuckled and whispered in Akina Zeya's ear:

"I'm so happy today~, Master Akina, remember to come find me for your next adventure."

"Yes, I will," Akina Ze replied affirmatively.

After saying that, their faces were very close together.

Now that things have come to this, Akina Ze is a little shy and turns his head away, not daring to meet her gaze.

Marisa glanced at Aya Shameimaru's face in the distance, where he was about to lose his composure, and her eyes darted around mischievously before a wicked idea popped into her head.

“Akina,” she said.

"What's wrong?" Akina Ze subconsciously turned his head and asked.

boo~

In an instant, the courtyard seemed to fall into absolute silence, with only this faint muffled sound audible.

"That's it! That's it! I'm leaving now!"

Marisa stammered as she hopped on her broomstick, making her choice at that moment, whether out of genuine feeling or impulse.

"..."

With one hand supporting his left cheek, Akina Sawa stared blankly at Marisa's rapidly receding figure in the air. Her long golden hair appeared hazy in the sunset, but the extremely soft touch on her face was undeniable.

So... I was... forcibly kissed?

Deeply moved, Akina Sawa stiffly turned around and looked up. Under the eaves, Shameimaru Ayame was standing there.

“I…” Looking at her, Akina Ze instinctively wanted to explain.

But to his surprise, instead of a storm, he was greeted with a simple and warm "Welcome home," Aya Shameimaru said with a smile.

"Well, I'm back..."

Like a child who had done something wrong, Akina Sawa lowered his head and dared not utter a sound, letting Shameimaru Aya lead him into the house by the wrist.

There was a deep hole in the wooden floor where it had collapsed.

......

Chapter 90 is not a cover

As Aya Shameimaru walked into the house from the courtyard, she seemed oblivious to what had happened, remaining calm and behaving normally.

"I brought back the solution to the ink odor problem. All you have to do is plant it in a flowerpot and put it in the study." Slightly nervous, Akina Sawa explained, picking up the cat-shaped mushroom. But seeing Shameimaru Aya listening intently, he licked his lips, wanting to explain what had just happened, "I just..."

"Go get a flowerpot over there and put it in. I remember there's an unused flowerpot there." But before she could finish speaking, Aya Shameimaru turned her head and smiled at the great fairy playing nearby, her tone very gentle.

"Okay." The Great Fairy nodded, took the cat mushroom from Akina Zeya, winked at him, and then forcefully dragged Niqua, who was still stuffing orange segments into her mouth, away. Although she didn't know what was going on, she keenly sensed a tense atmosphere brewing in the air, which only Niqua, the glutton, seemed completely oblivious to. Mimi

Seeing that the fairies had all left, Akina Sawa, who knew that it was best to cut to the chase, wanted to explain again, but Aya Shameimaru didn't give him the chance. Instead, she smiled and said, "You've had a hard day. I'll take care of dinner."

Sensing something was amiss, Akina Sawa glanced at the few black ink marks on Aya Shameimaru's right hand fingers and hesitated before declining, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? You've been copying all day too, haven't you? Why don't we do it together?"

However, Aya Shameimaru did not respond, but remained in that position, smiling as she looked at Zeya Akina.

Feeling a little uneasy and guilty from being stared at, Akina Ze finally nodded and said, "Then go ahead, I'm not picky, I'll do whatever you want."

“Hehe, how can I just do that? My flowers…” Shameimaru Aya didn’t finish her sentence, but walked into the kitchen without looking back.

"What flowers?" The unfinished question left Akina Sawa still guessing.

Surprisingly, dinner went without any problems. Akina Sawa had expected that the food would be deliberately made too salty or too sour, but Shameimaru Aya put all her effort into making a fairly successful meal.

"Does this mean they've forgiven me?" Akina Sawa thought to himself as he savored the delicious food before him.

......

The moon rose high in the sky, and nothing happened in the courtyard, just like any other day.

In the study, a newly planted cat mushroom sits on the desk, its two "cat ears" on top opening and closing as if breathing, silently filtering the stench of ink emanating from the room.

The moon was bright and the stars were few; the wind rustled the grass in the courtyard—nothing out of the ordinary.

The bedroom was pitch black; the lights had been off for a long time, with only moonlight streaming in through the window.

But Akina Zeya lay stiffly on the bed, not daring to move at all.

It wasn't because of the cold winter temperatures, but rather...

Under the moonlight, the thick quilt bulged out into a large bulge. Feeling the weight coming from the left side of his chest, Akina Sawa also moved his neck slightly, because Shameimaru Aya was resting on it.

Wenwen breathed, and the moist breath from her mouth brushed against her chest, making Qiu Mingze's chest feel a little itchy, but he dared not move.

Because at this moment, her left arm was firmly held in her arms, and not only that, but her left leg was also pressed down by Aya Shameimaru's leg.

I was truly unable to move...

Inside the bed, Aya Shameimaru was wearing silk pajamas, while Sawa Akina was shirtless. He had originally wanted to put on a white summer shirt, but was stopped on the spot.

Now it's a true skin-to-skin contact... Feeling the warm and delicate touch from her skin, Akina Ze wasn't truly unmoved, or rather, doing nothing in this situation would be an insult.

Looking at the pretty sleeping face resting on his chest, he could only say that he could no longer bear it. A hint of passion flashed in Akina Ze's eyes, and he raised his right hand, which was not restrained, and moved it slightly, wanting to pull the girl next to him into his arms.

"Don't move."

An unexpected sound rang out, and Akina Ze froze on the spot; she hadn't fallen asleep.

The quilt slowly arched, and Aya Shameimaru's light brown eyes were fixed on Sawaya Akina's eyes, completely disregarding the fairies sleeping soundly on the small bed next to them. She said in a cold tone, "Weren't you happy about Marisa's kiss?"

"That's just on the cheek, it's probably a Western kiss goodbye or something..." The explanation that Akina Zeya gave was weak and feeble, and even he knew it in his heart, his tone completely weakening in the second half.

“I was here first…” Although he said this, Aya Shameimaru’s voice was not low at all, but full of firmness.

Suddenly, Aya Shameimaru looked up sharply, and Akina Sawa instinctively closed his eyes in response to the impact.

The next moment, a strange, soft, and tender sensation came from my cheek...

He opened his eyes and found that Aya Shameimaru was kissing half of his face.

Seeing Akina Sawaya's gaze fall upon him, Shameimaru Aya stared intently with her light brown eyes, as if in a fit of rage, while sucking in her teeth as if trying to erase the non-existent trace, from a mental perspective.

After a while, Aya Shameimaru finally raised her head and looked down at Sawaya Akina. The blanket slipped off her silk pajamas, and she lightly wiped her lips with the back of her hand, a smile curving her lips:

So... you're mine.

......

The Sanzu River flows gently, and in the thick fog that shrouds the entire river, a huge object emitting a hazy light moves back and forth, like a one-eyed dragon surveying its territory.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small covered boat with a kerosene lamp hanging from its bow. Onozuka Komachi, the ferryman, was pushing the boat from one side to the other, and then back to the other side without stopping.

There was no wind on the river, but the 'big thunder' wrapped in blue cloth on Onozuka Komachi's chest was shaking up and down, caused by the boat's excessive speed.

"Why are there so many undead appearing near the shore of Gensokyo lately?"

After transporting a new batch of undead to the other side and then returning them to this side, Onozuka Komachi felt a headache coming on as she looked at the densely packed undead in Sai no Kawara.
