Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

Mu Huai really wanted to complain. Fighting games are normally played with a dedicated joystick or keyboard. Using a gamepad is just asking for trouble.

But seeing that she was having a great time, I didn't want to discourage her, so I quietly ate the egg and ham sandwich that I didn't know who had made.

Nana controlled her character to unleash four perfect combos in a row, defeating the AI ​​enemy at full health, and her gameplay was at its hottest.

Mu Huai wiped his mouth clean, sat down beside her, and picked up the controller: "Come on, let me see how good you are?"

"You've finished eating already!?" She was first surprised by his eating speed, then gripped the controller with a fighting spirit: "Alright, watch me beat you into a ten-game losing streak!"

"Wow, you're so confident. I have to see for myself."

Half an hour later...

"KO! Perfect!"

The scarlet words flashed on the screen, and Nana's initial confidence was long gone. Before the game, she had boasted that she would beat Mu Huai into a ten-game losing streak, but instead, she was beaten into a ten-game losing streak by him.

The reason is simple: her attack style is too formulaic. Once she starts a move, she will continue to execute it to the end, even if it is interrupted. It's as if she can't play the game without completing a whole combo.

This performance is most likely due to playing against too many AI opponents.

Mu Huai's assessment of her was: she's bad at games but loves to have fun.

"Damn it, it must be because I'm not feeling well today!"

Nana didn't want her humiliating ten-game losing streak to continue, so blushing, she casually made up an excuse to switch games. Whether it was good luck or bad luck, she found a Metroidvania-like single-player game in her game library.

The simple yet distinctive cover art style instantly caught her eye, leading her to open the game without a second thought.

These types of games usually require skillful operation, careful map observation, and the ability to try and remember enemy attack patterns, and Nana's personality is clearly not suited to this kind of game.

The character she was controlling was pushed off the platform by the monsters countless times, causing her to lose all the progress she had made in the first twenty minutes of the jumping puzzle and return to the starting point. The huge sense of frustration made her completely lose her temper.

"What kind of trash game is this! (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the game description.)"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be impulsive!!"

Mu Huai quickly grabbed her right hand, which was about to throw the controller away, and then pulled her to sit in front of him, gently comforting her: "This kind of game requires a certain skill. Don't rush. I'll guide you through it slowly."

Nana immediately became unusually well-behaved as she sat between his legs. At first, her ears turned bright red with embarrassment, but she quickly forgot about it as she became engrossed in the game.

Letting Mu Huai hold her and teach her step by step, just looking at this scene, probably no one would think that Lala, who was sitting at the dining table eating snacks, was his fiancée.

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 54, Lala Gradually Becomes a Bystander Heroine.

In her garden planet, Mengmeng carefully selected ten kinds of plant fruits that could be used for brewing wine. These ten fruits included all kinds of wine that she knew, so there was no need to worry about Ibuki Suika picking on them.

"Yes, there are no flaws!"

Before leaving, she checked the fruit one last time to make sure she hadn't taken any less or forgotten any. Then, she went through the portal back to her bedroom.

"Hmm... It's only after going back and forth like this that I can clearly feel that the air quality on Earth isn't very good. For the sake of my brother-in-law's health, I'll talk to him about transplanting some air-purifying plants from my garden."

Carrying a bamboo basket full of fruit, Mengmeng went downstairs and searched for Ibuki Suika in the living room. She couldn't find her, but instead saw Nana being held by Mu Huai while playing games for some reason.

Lala, who should have been sitting in her seat, was happily eating snacks while watching the two play games.

(I must be hallucinating...)

Mengmeng raised her hand to rub her eyes, then looked closely and found that the scene that she found unbelievable had not changed at all.

"No way... have I entered another timeline?"

Just as she was having some strange misunderstanding, Lala noticed her standing at the door with a bamboo basket in her hand and curiously walked over to ask, "Mengmeng, what kind of fruits are in here? They look so delicious."

"Before answering this question, my dear sister, please answer one of my questions first."

"Okay~"

Mengmeng pointed at Mu Huai and Nana, who were playing games on the sofa: "Are you sure you're Mu Huai's fiancée?"

"I'm sure, why do you ask?"

“Let’s go upstairs and talk.”

"Ok!"

The two sisters returned to the attic, where Lala had used advanced technology to transform the space into a very spacious area. A large area in the middle served as their common activity area, filled with cushions and furniture that reflected their individual personalities.

The three wooden doors to the left of the entrance are their bedrooms.

Mengmeng placed the bamboo basket full of fruit at the entrance, led Lala to sit on the carpet in the center of the living room, and said earnestly, "Big sister, even if you are already engaged to your brother-in-law, you can't waste your time with him like this!"

"Wasn't I watching him play games with Nana? How was that a waste?"

"Normally, you should be the one being held in your brother-in-law's arms!"

"Hmm..." Lala tapped her cheek with her index finger and nodded as if she understood: "Although I really want to be hugged by him, it's also important that you get along well with him. After all, you are my cutest little sisters, and we should all live happily together!"

"Although you and Nana didn't say it, you were more or less wary of Mu Huai when you came. I won't feel at ease until I see your relationship with him gradually improve."

"Big sister..." Mengmeng's eyes flashed with tears of emotion.

Despite her naturally innocent personality, Lala is the eldest of the three sisters, and she was aware of the potential problems without the other two knowing.

She also willingly sacrificed her time and opportunities to give to her younger sister, just so that their relationship with Mu Huai could improve and the problem could be nipped in the bud.

"I understand your thoughts, but I cannot agree with them."

Mengmeng doesn't think that Nana needs Lala to sacrifice her time with Mu Huai to improve her relationship with him, because Nana already has feelings for Mu Huai subconsciously, but no one has pointed them out to her.

"You don't need to worry about Nana. I assure you, we will get along well with your brother-in-law, so you just need to enjoy your time together."

Lala blinked, puzzled: "What do you mean by 'world for two'?"

"Although I expected that my older sister would be completely clueless in this area, I never thought I would have to start from here..." Mengmeng felt a heavy burden on her shoulders.

She really wanted to take her sister to play two visual novels, but the thought of how the content would taint her innocent sister filled her with guilt, making her very reluctant to do such a thing.

After racking her brains for a while, Mengmeng decided to start with the most basic knowledge: "Big sister, love between men and women... wait, I think I've discovered a more serious problem!"

"What's the problem?"

"Big sister, you and your brother-in-law are only engaged, not in a romantic relationship, right?"

"Huh? What's the difference between these two?"

"Of course!" Mengmeng's voice suddenly rose several decibels, and she placed her hands on Lala's shoulders, staring seriously into the other's bewildered eyes: "What I just said was correct, wasn't it?"

"Well... if I had to say, that's true."

"This is an unprecedented crisis, my dear sister!!"

"what?"

"If things continue like this, you and your brother-in-law could very well end up in a loveless, contractual marriage!"

"Is it...is it that serious? But I think Mu Huai likes me quite a bit, and I like him too." Lala was startled by her sister's serious expression.

"My dear sister, your feelings for your brother-in-law aren't like your liking for a certain food, are they?"

"They do look somewhat alike."

"Slap!" Mengmeng covered her cheek in despair. She had been so focused on judging Mu Huai's character that she had completely forgotten that Lala was equally oblivious to matters of the heart. "Love isn't as simple as liking food, my dear sister!"

"is it?"

"If you continue with your current mindset and don't give your brother-in-law any recognition, you'll likely become a completely forgotten female lead, the kind of person no one will even remember unless mentioned!"

"Ah...that's certainly a bit annoying."

Lala didn't disregard her relationship with Mu Huai; she simply believed their bond was strong enough that she didn't need to worry about problems arising. That's why she generously gave her younger sister the opportunity to interact and connect with him.

Now that Mengmeng was telling her so seriously about the potential unforeseen consequences, she immediately took it seriously: "Mengmeng, what do you think I should do?"

"Don't worry, my dear sister!" Mengmeng patted her chest and said confidently, "I foresaw this would happen a long time ago, so I specially made a bridal training manual for you. Now you just need to follow the methods in it!"

As she spoke, she took a pink-covered notebook from the telephony and handed it to Lala. The cover had the words "Super Bride Training" written on it in large characters.

The notebook was turned to the first page, where it read: No matter when or where, when you see your lover, give him a warm and loving hug and kiss!

"I hug every day, but as for kisses... I don't think I've ever actually done them..."

Lala suddenly realized that this self-cultivation manual, written by her sister who had absolutely no experience in love, was quite something, as it pointed out her shortcomings right from the beginning.

She promptly gave Mengmeng a thumbs-up in praise: "You're amazing, you can write something so professional."

"It's...just so-so."

Even when praised by her sister, Mengmeng didn't seem particularly happy. She didn't want to admit that this was a dating guide she had prepared for herself after playing many dating games.

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 55 - The Triangle is the Most Stable Structure

After carefully studying the "Bride's Guide to Self-Cultivation" that her younger sister had given her, Lala had memorized all of its contents. She clenched her fist to cheer herself up, and then returned the notebook to Mengmeng.

"Big sister, do you understand what to do?"

"I think I understand now. As long as I start taking action, the parts I don't understand will naturally become clear!"

What sounds like a rash statement at first glance actually makes a lot of sense upon closer examination.

The beginning is always the hardest, but for Lala, who is full of energy, there is no such problem. As long as she follows the instructions in the notebook, she will eventually be able to understand everything through Mu Huai's subsequent actions.

Watching her sister leave the room, Mengmeng gently stroked the still-warm notebook cover and murmured, "Brother-in-law, don't be so dense that you can't even see my sister's initiative."

One of the girl's tips for winning over her boyfriend: stick to him.

When Lala returned to the living room, Nana had just left Mu Huai's embrace. She gently fanned her slightly flushed cheeks and complained softly that the room was a bit hot. She went into the kitchen to get an iced drink to cool herself down.

Now is the perfect time to attack, and Lala certainly won't miss this opportunity.

She walked over quickly and took Nana's original spot, but while her sister was sitting facing the TV screen, she was facing Mu Huai instead.

Kicking off her slippers, her ample bosom pressed against his chest with a breathtaking pressure, her legs wrapped around Mu Huai's waist like tree roots, Lala smiled lightly and said, "Mu Huai, the weather is really nice today, isn't it?"

Mu Huai glanced at the thick dark clouds outside out of the corner of his eye and nodded in agreement: "You're right, it is indeed a good day to cool down."

"Did you have fun with Nana?"

"I'm really happy to have managed to get the controller and TV screen out of her hands."

"Hehe, don't let her hear you say that, or you'll definitely make her angry."

After saying that, Lala realized she seemed to have run out of things to say, so she blinked her beautiful emerald eyes and looked at Mu Huai.

An ordinary person might look at him for a couple of seconds and then awkwardly look away, but Lala's personality meant she wouldn't be embarrassed by such a small thing. Looking at Mu Huai up close like this, she realized that it was also quite interesting to hug his neck and count his eyebrows.

"Brother-in-law, do you want a drink...?"

Nana peeked out of the kitchen with two cans of juice in her hand, only to see Lala seemingly being intimate with Mu Huai. Surprised, she swallowed her words and instinctively let go of the juice, wanting to step forward and separate the two.

"Boom!"

"it hurts!!"

Nana's instep was mercilessly injured by a can of juice. Tears welled in her eyes as she sat down on the floor, clutching her left foot.

"Nana, are you alright?"

Not wanting them to worry, she immediately replied, "No, it's nothing!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted that she had spoken too quickly. If she had answered "something happened," wouldn't she have been able to separate Lala and Mu Huai, who were hugging each other, and come to the kitchen to check on the situation?

With things having come to this, Nana had no choice but to grit her teeth and shout, "Wait, my foot seems to be swollen from being hit! Brother-in-law, sister, please come and take a look!"

"Let's just stroll around and have some fun!"

Two hurried footsteps approached her ears, and a few seconds later Mu Huai and Lala entered the kitchen, but the latter's posture made Nana's mouth twitch.

Because Lala was still clinging to Mu Huai cross-legged, showing no intention of getting down.

"Sister, why are you hugging your brother-in-law like that?"

"Hmm..." Lala thought for a moment, then gave a more plausible reason: "Because I'm absorbing wood energy, which gives me the inspiration to create new inventions!"

"But I'm injured now. Can you get off your brother-in-law and let him take a look at me?"

"Mmm!" Lala obediently spread her legs and stood next to Mu Huai, watching him examine her sister's feet.

Nana's feet didn't develop calluses from running around with her animal friends all the time; in fact, they didn't feel like feet that ran around frequently.

It feels warm and silky to the touch, like a piece of snow-white, tender tofu.

The tender tofu now has an unnatural red and swollen patch on its instep from being hit by canned juice, which is quite distressing to see.

Mu Huai squatted down, supporting her beautifully curved arch with his left hand and gently rubbing her swollen area with his right palm.

"ah!"
