“As for this, Marisa, yours is a Mushroom Feast, and it’s already finished.
If you want to come to Stardew Valley, I’ll open the way for you.” “Next is Ms.
Yukari’s.
Ms.
Yukari’s unlock conditions were met the moment we met: the scroll and the Wizards Tower.” “Ms.
Ran’s is a portion of Fried Tofu Puffs, but there’s no mill on the farm right now, and I don’t know how to make Fried Tofu Puffs.” Yakumo Ran’s tail flicked.
Ever since Human Village disappeared, she hadn’t eaten Fried Tofu Puffs for a long time.
The Fried Tofu Puffs she had saved before had turned into stinky tofu after being stored for too long; she had been sad about that for a long time.
“What about me?” Reimu seemed to have woken up by now and was much more energetic.
Seeing Shiki mention everyone else without mentioning her, she was a bit curious.
“For Ms.
Reimu…
if I say it, you won’t hit me, right?” Shiki hesitated.
There were many memes from his old world, including some about Hakurei Reimu.
They originally came from the doujin manga ‘Nishoku Renpuu’, which mentioned that if one donated 100,000 yen at once, they could enjoy Hakurei Reimu’s ‘100,000 Yen Service’.
That was all just internet trash-talk, but facing the real person now, if he said it, the pleasant time today would be over.
“Go ahead and speak.
I’m not that unreasonable.” Seeing Shiki’s troubled expression, Reimu patted his shoulder magnanimously.
Who was she?
She was the guardian of Gensokyo, clearly someone from the lawful good camp.
How could she kill someone over a single sentence?
“Don’t worry.
No matter what you say, I won’t beat you to death.” “One yen to sweep someone out, ten yen for a smiling face, a hundred yen for tea service, a thousand yen for a grand feast, ten thousand yen to be pushed down once, and a hundred thousand for any service.
So, Ms.
Reimu’s unlock condition is for me to save up 100,000 yen.” Since Reimu had said so, Shiki just blurted it all out.
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
“Hahahaha!” Marisa was the first to burst into anthropomorphic laughter, followed by Yukari.
Even Yakumo Ran’s body twitched as she hid her face with her tail.
Only the innocent and cute Chen didn’t know what the adults were laughing about, still sitting steadily on the box guarding the fish she and Shiki had caught together.
“Haha, a hundred thousand for any service.
Kid, how much money do you have now?” Ignoring Reimu’s dark face, Marisa leaned against Reimu and asked Shiki in a yuri-ish manner.
“Sixteen thousand one hundred.” “Not bad.
Then according to the market rate, can she be pushed down once now?” A group of girls spoke recklessly about things that couldn’t be written down.
They were all old-timers, and Gensokyo was also known as the Fragrance of Lilies.
Since they were all girls, wasn’t it normal to talk about things like QQ Space?
“Uh…
that was a joke, but Reimu’s unlock condition really is 100,000 yen.” Seeing Reimu’s face darken, sweat began to bead on Shiki’s forehead.
“Don’t worry, I said I wouldn’t beat you to death, so I definitely won’t.
But I only said you’d be fine; that doesn’t mean these few can return to Gensokyo in one piece!” Grabbing Marisa’s hand on her shoulder, she slammed her to the ground with a wide swing.
Just as Yukari opened a Gap to escape, Reimu sat directly on top of her.
“You were laughing very loudly just now!
It’s hurting my eyes!” This was the authentic Gensokyo City Management.
Looking at the undamaged ground, Shiki felt relieved and led Chen and Ms.
Ran back.
Those who weren’t invited couldn’t affect this world no matter how much force they used.
Let them fight.
“Let’s go, Chen.
Let’s go back and eat fish.
We’ll have a fish feast tonight.” “Okay, meow!” Back at the farm, Yakumo Ran started processing the fish caught today.
Shiki used his remaining stamina to chop down a few more trees and clear a small space.
He couldn’t eat mushroom skewers anymore; he felt like even his breath smelled of mushrooms.
This stuff really filled you up; he wasn’t hungry at all.
When the fire lit up the farm’s clearing and white steam rose from the fish soup boiling in the large pot, Reimu finally came down the mountain carrying the battle-damaged Marisa and Yukari.
She tossed them onto the grass and found a place to sit.
“I’m telling you, it’s not that I’m poor.
If I really wanted to make money, I could just find any excuse to beat someone up and get paid.
Making money is just a personal hobby.
That ‘100,000 for any service’ thing you mentioned is completely a false rumor; you can’t believe it.” Reimu was explaining very seriously to Shiki.
“We usually call your way of making money ‘robbery’.” “If the hundred thousand is fake, then the ten thousand is real, right?” A major feature of Gensokyo: being stubborn.
Even if they were burned to ash or beaten by Reimu until their whole family exploded, when facing outside questions, they would only say it was a ‘narrow defeat’.
The heavily damaged Marisa and Yukari, lying on the grass, couldn’t help but chime in after hearing Reimu’s words.
“Heh, you’ve got guts.” Reimu sneered and turned to give Yakumo Ran an order.
“Leave the fish soup there to cool for a bit.
I have some business back in Gensokyo.” Lugging Marisa and Yukari back to Gensokyo—as the existence with the highest stats in all of Gensokyo, opening a door was easy.
She could just kick open the gate to Gensokyo.
Coming here required Yukari’s Gap to lead the way, but going back to her own home, why would she need a key?
What followed was an inhumane beating.
Marisa used her face to frantically attack Reimu’s left hand, and Yukari used her body to attack Reimu’s right foot.
A few minutes later, Reimu sat beside Shiki, blissfully drinking the still-warm fish soup and exhaling comfortably.
At this moment, it was like rain after a long drought or meeting an old friend in a distant land.
“Where are those two?” On the large rock Shiki used as a dining table, there were still two bowls, but it seemed no one was drinking from them.
“Those two?
They have some business.
They got a bit fat after going back and can’t fit through the Gap anymore.” Reimu spoke calmly about this somewhat terrifying topic, picked up the fish soup left for Marisa and Yukari, and gulped it all down.
“Then how did you get back?” “Simple.
Once you’ve been here once, you know the way.
You can just come by yourself next time.
As long as you have the physical ability to shatter space, you can do it too.” Outrageous, but logical.
“Help me out.
Give these phones to the others so it’s easier to stay in touch.
Everyone will be able to see what I’m selling or what I want to buy.” Shiki pushed a pile of phones to Reimu.
These were general-purpose phones.
The cat paw pattern on the back of the orange phone was a custom model; if anyone wanted one, they’d have to come to Stardew Valley to have Shiki exchange it personally.
“Sure.
I won’t charge you for such a small matter.
If you want to come to Gensokyo in the future, just let me know.
For 10,000 yen, I’ll guarantee you can walk unopposed in Gensokyo.
Even if you want to give that Yukari girl a beating, I’ll hold her down for you.” ————————
It might not seem tempting right nobut who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
