“That’s all for now.
If you don’t eat it, I’ll take it back.
I still have a fox and a cat to feed at home.” Yukari sat listlessly on the sofa.
These dried meats were precious; they had been saved since Human Village disappeared, and she hadn’t dared to eat them until now.
She brought them all out this time.
“Uh, what happened?
Aren’t you Great Youkai?
How can you have nothing to eat?” Shiki picked up an apple and started munching.
Yakumo Ran had thoughtfully washed all the fruits before putting them in the basket, so they could be eaten immediately.
“Ah, this is exactly what I wanted to discuss with you.” Yukari straightened her body, her expression becoming serious.
“For certain reasons, the Dragon God moved Human Village away.
Gensokyo lost its largest food source and is now facing a food crisis.
There are only sporadic crops planted by some youkai, which are few in quantity and monotonous, completely unable to satisfy the daily needs of the youkai, let alone host banquets.” “I asked the Dragon God how to solve this, and the Dragon God only gave me a set of coordinates—right here where you are.
Although this world is full of trees and weeds, there are still some fish.
I tried to catch fish, but I couldn’t affect this world in any way, until after you appeared.” “That’s when I realized this world was prepared for you.
I can only take things through your hand.
I had Ran take that fish yesterday, and Chen had a wonderful meal.
I only managed to sneak a sip of soup.” As she said this, Yukari showed a look of resentment.
The fish weighed just over a kilogram, and it all went into Chen’s stomach.
She and Ran only shared a pot of fish soup.
There was nothing they could do; after all, Ran was the one who cooked.
“So, please, plant more crops.
We will buy everything.
You can ask for anything you want.” “Anything I want?” Shiki showed a strange expression.
If this setting wasn’t a tomato but a certain other place, the following plot would become awkward, but in this tomato setting, he was a Perfect Gentleman.
“Planting is no problem; this world is meant for farming.
But I don’t have seeds or food.
If it weren’t for these few fruits, I might starve to death in a couple of days.” Shiki spread his hands.
Even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice.
Without seeds and food, he would be done for in two days.
“No problem, leave this to me.
Gensokyo can still scrape together some seeds.
I’ll give them all to you.
You can just slowly expand the planting area.” Yukari nodded.
Youkai aren’t good at intensive farming, so the results of their planting aren’t great.
The two Deities on Youkai Mountain can catalyze some seeds, but since Human Village disappeared, they lost their faith source and now can only share a table with the Little Fairies.
“And then…” Shiki checked his phone.
Yukari’s information in the Villager column had been unlocked, and some other functions had been added.
Name: Yukari Race: Youkai, Gap Ability: Manipulation of Boundaries Residence: Youkai Mountain, Lost Home, Shrine, Edge of the Hakurei Great Barrier Unlocked Function: Stardew Valley Shop Unlocked Function: Invitation Stardew Valley Shop: Allows you to open your own store on your phone, list various farm products, and sell them to various worlds.
Invitation: As the master of this world, you can invite people from other worlds to visit or reside here.
Without your invitation, outsiders cannot interfere with this world.
He was familiar with this; wasn’t it just an online shop?
Having worked in E-commerce for three years, he knew exactly how to operate it.
The only question was delivery.
“How will I give you the things I grow?
What will I get in return?” “That’s simple.
I can interfere with anything you put in the shipping box.
I’ll have Ran come over to pick up the goods.
As for compensation…
money or our assistance, or if all else fails, you can specify something yourself.” “I see…” Shiki fell into contemplation while looking at the shop backend on his phone.
He could list products there, operating just like an e-commerce platform: item price, quantity, reviews, Q&A, and detail pages.
Then the question arose: if he was only supplying Gensokyo, did he need all this complicated stuff?
He could just toss the goods into the shipping box.
The Youkai Sage was not some naive innocent girl.
Her behavior, appearing like a normal 17-year-old girl in front of Shiki, was only because Shiki had no conflict of interest with her and posed no threat to Gensokyo.
But within Gensokyo, anyone who believed Yukari was a naive innocent girl would be laughed at.
The old thing had lived countless years and was full of tricks, the kind that could scheme people to death without paying for it.
Seeing Shiki’s silence, Yukari formed a rough guess in her mind.
“Besides our world, do you have a mistress?” Although it was phrased as a question, Yukari’s words were extremely certain.
“Why does that sound so strange?
Maybe.
I’m not sure right now, I only have a rough guess.” Shiki confirmed Yukari’s suspicion.
Anyway, saying it wouldn’t have any impact.
In this world, he was the boss; no one could interfere without his permission.
Didn’t Yukari herself fail to fish from the lake?
“Well…
do you need help?
The people in our village are very strong.” Yukari wanted to send a few people in, not necessarily to undermine Shiki, but simply to build a closer relationship.
It’s always easier to get things done when you have people on the inside.
“Sure.
But we have to set the rules first.
They can live and play normally here, but they cannot intentionally cause destruction, or I can kick them out at any time.” Shiki also wanted Stardew Valley to become lively.
Anyone without a mental illness wouldn’t want to be the only person in the entire world, without anyone to talk to normally.
“Rest assured, this isn’t the ancient era of fighting and killing.
We are just a group of weak, helpless, anti-violence, new-era good youkai who like to hold banquets and have fun.” Yukari covered half her face with her fan.
Even she felt a little embarrassed saying that, as she knew perfectly well what kind of characters the people in Gensokyo were.
“Since the discussion is finished, I’ll go back and prepare the seeds.
However, Gensokyo doesn’t have many seeds left right now.
I’ll bring you the seeds suitable for this season first, and send the rest next season.” Once the matter was settled, Yukari greeted him, opened a Gap, and left.
She needed to prepare the seeds; the sooner they were planted, the sooner they would have food.
The Dragon God was strange, too—why move Human Village?
When she asked for the reason, he wouldn’t say, only mysteriously stating he was planning something big.
The riddler hates riddlers the most.
At Shrine, Reimu was lying on the shrine floor, emptying her mind.
This helped conserve stamina.
Although eating wasn’t strictly necessary for people like them—they could survive without food—they were used to eating daily, and the feeling of hunger now was unbearable.
“Reimu, let’s go!
I’ve concluded the deal.
We’ll have food in a while.
Now follow me to demand the seeds!” “Food?!” Reimu flipped upright from the floor, pulled out her Yin-Yang Orb, and followed Yukari, flying toward Youkai Mountain with a murderous look.
Seeds, huh?
If anyone dared to cross her or do anything detrimental to solidarity right now, they shouldn’t blame her and Yukari for delivering a righteous Mixed Doubles Beating.
