Stardew Valley of Gensokyo

This was the first time someone had guessed what she was thinking, and the first time someone had been willing to give her something so delicious...

Akina Ze also silently looked up at the bright moon that was already hanging in the darkness.

Under the soft light inside the room, the cute little blue-haired fairy, with her mouth slightly open, was stuffing food into her mouth little by little, just like a hamster eating.

"Well, let's just consider it as temporarily having a pet."

Another day wasted...

Chapter Sixty-Five: Uninvited Guests Before the Flower Dance Festival

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the summer sun is starting to release its heat.

Akina Ze silently wiped away his sweat. He was currently cultivating the land in the field, planning to cultivate a special plot of land to grow some important, or rather, vegetables that he particularly wanted to eat.

Although cultivating land is no longer a big deal for Akina Sawaya now, unlike when he first arrived, when weeding would kill him and he would feel like he hadn't used much energy after cultivating a plot of land.

But he still felt tired because he had sweated a lot, and the sun was a bit strong today.

Sweating quite a bit, Akina Ze also felt parched and wanted to go back to his room to get some water.

Just then, a cup was handed to me.

Akina Ze also looked in the direction of the cup and saw Nikua with her arms outstretched, holding the cup up to her face.

Ah, it's Nikua.

Akina Ze also recalled the scene of the standoff with Nikua last night. Although she did not explicitly say that she wanted to stay, he could guess from her pitiful expression that she wanted to stay. However, Akina Ze did not explicitly ask her to stay but tacitly allowed her to stay. Everything was so natural.

But if she stays, what should be done with Nikua? We can't just let her go back to the well.

They stayed up very late and still couldn't figure it out, so in the end Akina Ze made a makeshift bed on the floor for Nikua to sleep on.

Closer to home

After glancing at the glass full of water, Akina Sawa smiled, took the glass, tilted his head back, and drank the water in one gulp.

Um! ?

This water feels different, Akina Sawa's eyes lit up.

"Want more?" Nikua asked, mustering her courage.

Although her voice was still very soft and trembling, she finally managed to say it.

"I want more, and thank you!"

Feeling that one cup wasn't enough, Akina Sawa handed over his cup as well.

Nikua nodded heavily, clasped her hands together, and a crystal-clear, pure water sphere appeared and floated in her hands.

Then, she carefully moved her hands onto the cup, removed them, and the suspended water sphere instantly lost its support and fell into the cup.

Akina Ze also stared wide-eyed at the scene, quite interested in watching the fantasy performance up close.

Taking the cup full of water, Akina Ze drank it all in one gulp. The cool water flowed down his burning throat, and the heat in his body was suppressed by the coolness.

Akina Ze smacked his lips, noticing a subtle sweetness in the water, which he found quite delicious.

Akina Ze, feeling that he had finished resting, returned the cup to Nikua and picked up the hoe from the field again, as there was still some land that hadn't been hoeed.

Nikua went back and climbed onto the chair, where desserts were laid out on the table next to her.

Just then, a dark figure appeared in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived in Akina Zeya's yard.

Just as Aya Shameimaru landed in the courtyard, Sawa Akina also glanced back at the spot where Nikua had just been. The place was now empty, and there was no sign of her. She must have been hiding.

However, Nikua is a shy fairy, so it's normal for her to hide. Akina Ze shook his head.

Why are you shaking your head? Are you not welcoming me? Waaaaah~

The sound of Aya Shameimaru faking tears came from behind.

"No, I was just thinking about some things."

Turning his head, Akina Sawa also faced Shameimaru Aya and explained.

"That's good. How could anyone dislike someone as beautiful as me? Don't you think so?"

Aya Shameimaru dropped her fake crying act and spoke to Sawa Akina with a teasing tone.

"Don't tease me. We haven't seen each other for so many days. You're not just here to play a trick on me, are you?"

Akina Ze also said with a helpless expression.

"of course not"

Aya Shameimaru, who had been joking around, immediately answered in a serious tone.

Akina Sawa remained unmoved by all of this. Having known Aya Shameimaru for so many days, he had grown accustomed to her unpredictable and volatile nature.

Did you read the newspaper I gave you a few days ago?

Aya Shameimaru first asked Sawaya Akina...

"I've seen it."

Every afternoon during tea time, he would always choose to read the newspaper while drinking tea; this was usually the time Aya Shameimaru would read the newspaper.

So he had already read the folded newspaper.

"That's good," Aya Shameimaru nodded and continued, "Then you should know that the Flower Dance Festival is coming up soon, right?"

"Of course, the shrine maiden needs my help... wait a minute?" Akina Sawa also sensed something was amiss. "You're not planning to make a move against the Flower Dance Festival, are you?"

"Shh!"

Shameimaru Aya covered Akina Sawaya's mouth with her hand, looked around to make sure no one was nearby, and then pushed him into the house.

"You don't really intend to attack the Flower Dance Festival, do you? Reimu-san will definitely not let you get away with this!"

After witnessing Aya Shameimaru's various actions, Sawa Akina sat down and spoke with unease and advice.

"Don't you find it too boring?"

Aya Shameimaru slammed the door shut behind her.

"What do you mean?"

Akina Sawa, who had never participated in the Flower Dance Festival, couldn't understand what Shameimaru Aya meant by "boring."

"It's boring, isn't it? Every year it's the same activities, the same routine, the same program. Don't you think this kind of holiday is boring?"

After closing the door, Aya Shameimaru walked over slowly with her head down.

Gollum~

Akina Ze swallowed hard. He felt the situation was terrible. The doors and windows were closed, and the room had become dark.

As Aya Shameimaru walked slowly with her head down, the atmosphere in the room became even more terrifying.

"Hey, let me ask you, did you have anyone with you at the Flower Dance Festival?"

Suddenly, Aya Shameimaru uttered this sentence.

Instantly, Akina Zeya's face also turned gloomy and somber.

"no"

After a while, a muffled sound came from Akina Sawaya.

"That's good"

She thought she would receive comfort from Aya Shameimaru, but she unexpectedly said something like this.

"What do you mean 'that's good'?! I'll definitely have it next year!"

Feeling inexplicably slighted, Akina Ze immediately responded with displeasure.

But to his surprise, Aya Shameimaru's eyes seemed to be shining, and his face showed a joyful expression of finally finding it.

"You're my teammate!"

"What!?"

Akina Zeya's face instantly turned bright red.

What did she mean by that sentence? Akina Sawa also said he couldn't take it.

After saying that, Aya Shameimaru leaned close to Sawaya Akina's ear and whispered something.

"I have a plan..."

......

"Can I say no?"

After listening to Aya Shameimaru's so-called plan.

Akina Ze also revealed a lazy, complacent look in his eyes.

I never imagined that the so-called companions were really just companions.

"no!"

Aya Shameimaru shook her head, rejecting Sawaya Akina's refusal.

"Don't you want to do that? To change up the boring and old-fashioned Flower Dance Festival?"

"I've never experienced the Flower Dance Festival, so who would understand what you're talking about!"

Akina Sawa, on the verge of tears, said that if he had agreed to Shameimaru Aya's request, he would have really missed the chance to participate in the Flower Dance Festival this year.

"..."

Aya Shameimaru stopped trying to persuade Sawaya Akina and simply watched him quietly.

His eyes seemed to be gleaming, and he stared at Akina Zeya without saying a word.

In an instant, the originally lively and energetic Aya Shameimaru seemed to have changed her persona, becoming a pitiful and delicate Lin Daiyu.

How could Akina Sawa possibly withstand that?

"Fine, fine, I agree."

Akina Ze also covered his forehead with both hands. He had already guessed what would happen next. His head was throbbing!

"It's a deal! I'll come see you tomorrow!"

Like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, Aya Shameimaru switched characters in a second, her energetic smile completely unrecognizable from her previous demeanor.

As free as the wind, Aya Shameimaru left Akina Sawaya's yard as soon as she finished speaking, taking most of the desserts on the table with her.

"Ah, another troublesome matter..." Akina Ze sighed.

Noticing that Aya Shameimaru had left, Niqua crawled out from under the bed.

Thanks to the fairy's self-cleaning ability and Akina's frequent cleaning under the bed, Niqua's clothes were not soiled.

So he was hiding under the bed.

"Come here, she's already gone."

Akina Ze also waved to the nervous and uneasy Nikua.

Hearing this, Nikua walked over with peace of mind.

Akina Ze also casually placed the last piece of dessert on the table into Nikua's hand.

Nikua happily caught it, and her cute little face also showed a big smile to Akina Sawa.

Ah ~

Akina Ze felt instantly healed from his frustration.
