Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

With that thought in mind, Mengmeng picked up two bottles of ice-cold mineral water and walked over to them: "Muhuai-kun, Ms. Wuzaki, how are things going for you? Why don't you have some water and rest for a bit?"

"Thank you! I feel perfectly fine. Even though it's my first time working with Mu Huaijun, it feels like we've been partners for a long time. It's incredible!"

Kyoko Kirisaki excitedly shared her thoughts, unaware of the wariness that flashed in Momo's purple eyes.

(Could she have gotten the lead role to try and get closer to Mr. Mu Huai?)

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 37 The Sister-in-Law's Battle of Wits Against Thin Air

It's not surprising that Mengmeng would think this way. After arriving on set, the enthusiastic professional women made her realize that Mu Huai's title of "popular male actor" was not an exaggeration. Many staff members looked at him like carnivores looking at a tender and plump little lamb.

Aside from wanting to peel it clean and eat it, I had no other thoughts.

She realized that in addition to observing and scoring Mu Huai, she also needed to pay close attention to Kirisaki Kyoko's every move to prevent her from seducing her brother-in-law.

Although she had no dating experience, Mengmeng completed many of Galaxy's most famous dating games in order to find a good husband for Lala.

Leaving aside how to win over a guy, her tea-tasting skills are definitely top-notch.

(Bring it on, my eyes won't miss a single thief!)

"Mu Huai Jun, do you think it would be better to revise the lines here a little?"

"where?"

"It's the part where the male protagonist first meets the female protagonist...Moon/Ripples-(〗Two)〓Neighbor』(Two) 栮?印I 」II冥扒侕."

Seeing Kirisaki Kyoko approach Mu Huai and hand him her script, Mengmeng's spirits lifted, and she thought to herself.

(Here it comes! Using work as an excuse to get closer, the next thing that's bound to be an accidental bump of shoulders!)

Before she could squeeze between the two, Mu Huai turned to the side and created a safe distance before the other's shoulder touched her: "The dialogue about being chased by monsters should indeed be a bit more urgent. Let's make a mark and perform it according to the script this afternoon. If it's not suitable, we can suggest revisions."

"I understand."

After retrieving the script, Kirisaki Kyoko naturally returned to face him, showing no disappointment at failing to achieve her goal through underhanded tactics.

Besides giving credit to Mu Huai for her evasiveness, Mengmeng also listed her as the most philandering cat she had ever encountered.

(To be able to retreat without batting an eye... Kyoko Kirisaki is quite something!)

Realizing she was facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, Mengmeng felt a surge of fighting spirit and launched an attack before she could make her next move.

She asked a staff member for two chairs, placed them next to Mu Huai and the others, and said with a smile, "Standing while reading the script must be tiring, why don't you two sit down and chat?"

"Thank you, but..." Kyoko Kirisaki looked at her apologetically, "There are only two chairs, isn't it inappropriate for just the two of us to sit?"

"You all have filming to prepare this afternoon, while I have plenty of time to rest. Please have a seat."

"Since Miss Mengmeng puts it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

"Mr. Mu Huai, please sit down as well!"

"Ok."

After pressing the two of them down into chairs, a hint of smugness flashed in Mengmeng's purple eyes. By restricting Kirisaki Kyoko's movement, she would no longer be able to use any underhanded tactics to get close to Mu Huai.

But if she could, she would love to shout out the famous line, "Reiner, sit down!"—a move she learned from the comics.

With her tail tracing a happy path in the air, Mengmeng walked behind Mu Huai, placing her slender hand on his shoulder and kneading it with just the right amount of force. If she were wearing a black and white maid outfit, she would probably be mistaken for a real maid.

Kirisaki Kyoko was also drawn to her actions. After glancing back and forth between the two of them a few times, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Um... what is the relationship between Miss Mengmeng and Mr. Muhuai?"

Before the two could answer, she quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry, if it's something that's inconvenient to talk about, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

(A clever tactic of feigning retreat to advance. If we really remain silent, it would be tantamount to confirming that our relationship is not simple, and anyone could easily deduce that we are lovers.)

Realizing this, Mengmeng responded immediately: "Ms. Wuzaki, please don't joke around. Mu Huai-kun has always treated me like a younger sister, and I respect him very much. This is not something that cannot be said."

"Brother and sister?" Kyoko Kirisaki looked surprised.

"No, if I had to say... he's a senior."

"But... what kind of Earthling can be the senior of the third princess of Deviluke?"

"Huh!?"

Now it was Mu Huai and Meng Meng's turn to be surprised. Neither of them expected that Kirisaki Kyoko would know her true identity.

"Ms. Kirisaki, could it be that you are...?"

“That’s right…” she admitted in a low voice, then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, before snapping her fingers with her right hand. A wisp of flame appeared out of thin air on her fair fingertip: “Actually, I am a hybrid with the blood of the Phileim aliens, and I can freely manipulate flames.”

"No wonder the fire effects in 'Hot Magical Girl Kyoko' were so realistic...it was the real thing!" Mu Huai exclaimed, then asked curiously, "Why did you become an actor on Earth?"

"Because I like it, isn't that right, Mu Huai-jun?"

"Uh... if I had to say, I guess I did it to make a living."

(If I didn't need to hide the fact that the money I got from the system from Lao Ba, I probably wouldn't even bother looking for a job.)

Kyoko Kirisaki blinked in confusion at first, then remembered that Mu Huai's parents had died. Feeling guilty, she put down her script and took his hand, her blue eyes filled with care and heartache: "If you have any difficulties in life, you can come to me anytime. I will do my best to help you!"

"Thank you for your concern for my brother-in-law, Ms. Kirisaki." Mengmeng smiled and pried their hands apart, explaining the situation to her puzzled look: "Mu Huai-kun is engaged to my sister, and he will be set for life."

"Sister...could it be Princess Nana?"

"No, no, no, it can't possibly be her no matter how you look at it."

"I'm sorry... because I saw Princess Nana and Princess Mengmeng coming together, I instinctively assumed..."

Mengmeng complained speechlessly, "Don't you think that my brother-in-law getting engaged to Nana is like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung? My brother-in-law is the flower, and she is the cow dung."

“Hahaha…” Kyoko Kirisaki chuckled dryly, without replying.

She can't afford to offend either the second or third princess of Deviluke, so it's best not to get involved in these sisterly squabbles.

Since they were aliens who knew their identities, Mengmeng relaxed. Normal aliens wouldn't covet the men of the Deviluke royal family.

Given Kyoko Kirisaki's seemingly naive reaction, she concluded that her earlier actions were merely a battle of wits with thin air, and muttered resentfully, "Phew~ If you had known our identities, you should have explained sooner. All that effort for nothing..."

"what?"

"It's nothing, you guys continue with the script, I'll go find some..."

Before Mengmeng could finish speaking, cries for help suddenly came from afar.

"Help! A pink-haired girl has fallen into the lake!"

"Nana!?"

Mu Huai instantly dropped his script and transformed into a gust of wind, rushing towards the lakeside.

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 38: Your first kiss was with me, Mu Huai!

Rewind two minutes. Nana was squatting by the river, pulling at blades of grass to relieve stress, while silently wondering if she had been too harsh in her tone when speaking to Mengmeng.

Of the three sisters, Mengmeng is the one who cares most about her family, and Nana knows that Mengmeng did it for Lala's sake, which is why she made that decision even though she knows what she hates.

(I wonder if that cunning guy will take this to heart. I'll find a chance to apologize to her tomorrow after my sister goes to school.)

(I apologize, but if she really goes too far, I will still step in to stop her. After all, Mu Huai doesn't really seem like a bad person.)

Because of her ability to communicate with animals, Nana gradually developed a preference for judging a person's character based on intuition as she befriended them.

Despite being repeatedly criticized by Mengmeng for blindly trusting this intuition and knowing it would lead to disaster, she somehow managed to get quite a few things right using this unreliable intuition, successfully silencing Mengmeng.

Over the past few days, Mu Huai had left a good impression on her. Even surrounded by beautiful girls, he hadn't done anything out of line.

We could even play games together occasionally, making our time together exceptionally easy and enjoyable.

This was an experience Nana had never had in the palace. The idea of ​​having male friends of the same age was simply impossible in the Deviluke Palace. If it weren't for the fact that her father couldn't do it, he would have preferred that even the mosquitoes in the palace be female.

As time passed, Nana's pent-up anger gradually dissipated. She grinned at the clear, mirror-like lake surface: "As an older sister, having a broad mind is an essential lesson. If I apologize to Mengmeng tomorrow, she'll definitely be speechless with surprise!"

After she had a clear understanding of the situation, she noticed several fish that had been attracted by her tail underwater. Always fond of animals, she used her ability to greet them without hesitation.

Hello everyone!

Hello, two-legged creature!

"My name is Nana. Do you have names?"

"My name is Little Fish, and its name is Hua Wuque."

"What a strange name. Where are your other friends?"

"Hello, two-legged creature."

"?"

Nana paused for a moment. Although fish don't only have a seven-second memory, it's possible that some individuals are indeed quite stupid. Seeing that these fish kept repeating the same sentence from the beginning, she had no choice but to give up on continuing to communicate with them.

She then started dangling her tail on the water's surface and swaying it back and forth, attracting the fish to swim around with her. The sight of them chasing her tail made her laugh.

But to her surprise, one of the larger fish suddenly leaped out of the water and bit the tip of her tail.

"Hey! Don't...don't touch my tail..."

The three sisters' tails are their most fatal weakness; if caught, it's practically like holding their lifeline in one's grasp. This is the situation Nana is in right now.

The moment the fish bit her tail, a tingling, weak sensation swept through her body. Her legs, which were already numb from squatting by the lake for so long, were unable to maintain their balance, and she could only watch helplessly as she fell into the lake.

Even worse, she, who was originally an excellent swimmer, was bitten on the tail by a fish and didn't even have the strength to swim. A large amount of lake water rushed into her nose and mouth as she coughed.

It felt like a slit had been torn open in my throat, and icy liquid was forced into my lungs. The water, with its fishy and rusty smell, blocked all the passageways that could allow air to enter, and my eardrums were buzzing from the pressure.

Her cries for help could only turn into a string of powerless bubbles as they rushed toward the surface of the water.

(This can't be real... Am I really going to die on Earth because of this kind of accident?)

The lake water was like a cold, venomous liquid that devoured life, slowly eroding the temperature inside Nana's body, and her chest gradually changed from burning to a scorching pain.

As dark spots began to appear at the edges of her vision, spreading like ink drops into clear water, gradually darkening her vision, the coldness that had enveloped her limbs suddenly vanished, leaving only the faint sound of bubbles bursting in her ears.

After that, Nana completely lost consciousness.

In fact, from the time she fell into the water until she was discovered by others, and then she called for help until Mu Huai jumped into the water and pulled her out, the whole process took no more than one minute.

Nana was still unconscious and had stopped breathing. Upon seeing this, Mu Huai immediately laid her flat on the ground, tilted her head back and raised her forehead, then took a deep breath, bent down and covered her mouth with his mouth, blowing air forcefully into her mouth.

After blowing for about a second, he straightened up without pausing and began chest compressions. After repeating this process three times, Nana suddenly arched her back and vomited a large amount of lake water like a fountain, followed by a painful and violent cough.

"Cough cough cough...Where am I?"

She had barely opened her eyes and hadn't even seen her surroundings when Mengmeng hugged her tightly and started wailing.

"That's great...that's great...you're awake!"

The solemn expressions of the people around them also relaxed. (I) Zero Different Ni Si Cover and Pull_) Si Jiu Si Qun^.

Upon hearing the news, Ranko Hata rushed over and saw this scene. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. She waved to her assistant who was following behind her and said, "No need to call medical staff or an ambulance. Go get two clean blankets and make two cups of hot tea and bring them over."

"Yes, director."

After the drowning incident ended, Nana sat in a chair wrapped in a blanket, listening to Mengmeng, whose eyes were red, recount her rescue in a low voice.

When she recounted how Mu Huai performed CPR on her, her initial relief turned into shock.

"You...you mean...Mu Huai...he kissed me?"

Mengmeng rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Artificial respiration is artificial respiration, it's completely different from kissing, okay? I thought you would be extremely grateful to your brother-in-law after you woke up, but you actually care about such a trivial matter?"

"But...even so, he still touched my lips with his own, isn't that a kiss?"

"You're about to die, and you still care about your first kiss?"

"But I'm alive now, shouldn't I care?"

"You should have told your brother-in-law not to save you, you idiot! How could you drown when you can swim?"

Nana gets angry just thinking about it. She points to the culprits being grilled by Mu Huai in the distance: "They bit my tail, so I can't exert any force!"

"There's really no way to do that."

Mengmeng, being a member of the family, knew her own situation well. She was very familiar with the feeling of having her tail grabbed. The two sisters had often grabbed each other's tails when they fought before. That numb and powerless state made it impossible to control one's body.

An unexpected silence fell over the air. The two sisters stared at each other, unsure how to apologize.

Fortunately, Mu Huai walked over with a fragrant grilled fish at this moment. Noticing that the atmosphere between the two was a bit off, he, who was good at livening up the atmosphere, immediately came up with a brilliant idea.

After handing them the grilled fish, he pointed his thumb inward at himself and proudly raised his eyebrows: "Nana, your first kiss was with me, Mu Huai!"

After she finished speaking, apart from pink steam rising from Nana's head, the atmosphere did not improve at all; in fact, it became even more awkward.
