Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

Page 104

Mu Huai understood that if the club's name wasn't confirmed at this point, it would be even less likely that the name he suggested would be adopted later.

His plan to use this name to trick the girl failed, and he was slightly disappointed.

No, the girl is either still in her first year of high school or has already dropped out. Maybe even if she had this name, it wouldn't have made a difference.

Before long, Lala excitedly dragged Hanami Anna and Sanae over.

"Mu Huai, the club application has been approved, but the teacher said we need to come up with a name for the club before it can be officially stamped!"

"Then I'll think about it while I eat during my lunch break."

"Ok!"

During lunch break, everyone offered their opinions on the club's activities and name, with Mu Huai being the most enthusiastic.

"I have a plan! How about calling it 'Summer of the Far East Magical Nap Society'?"

"No way, what club is named Sleeping?"

"Outdoor camping and outdoor activity clubs?"

Sanae looked around at everyone, puzzled: "I don't think any of us like camping."

"Attribute Fan Club?"

"The meaning is unclear."

"An innocent paradise!"

"It's even stranger than the last one!"

"Rabbit House!"

"We don't sell coffee, and we don't have talking Angora rabbits!"

After his suggestions were rejected one after another, Mu Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "As expected of Xingcai, her speed of witty remarks can keep up with my speed of making memes!"

"Don't underestimate my years of training!" Only at times like this can Anna Hanami fully utilize her strengths as a childhood friend to deliver precise and witty remarks when he pretends to be clueless.

"In that case, how about we call it the 'Food Culture Research Society'?"

"Goo!"

This time, the name directly hit her weakness. As a foodie, she couldn't resist the temptation of food, not to mention that Mu Huai was in this club.

If you asked Anna Hanami to evaluate Kōya's cooking skills, she could only use the word "amazing." Even the most common fried rice could be transformed into a mouthwatering delicacy in his hands.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to his house to freeload meals no matter the weather.

Ultimately, they named their club the "Gensokyo Food Culture Research Club," and their activities revolved around researching how to eat well, have fun, and enjoy campus life.

Of the four, only Lala had no cooking experience, but she didn't feel embarrassed or frustrated at all. Instead, she felt an urge to create a new invention.

Since I can't cook, why not just make a machine that can help me make delicious food?

With her exceptional mobility, she took advantage of the other three cleaning the club activity room to pull out her teleportation phone, retrieved a multi-tool and a bunch of miscellaneous materials and parts, and sat down cross-legged to prepare for design work.

Even Lala, who could disassemble a spaceship with her bare hands at a young age, could not possibly complete the development of a new tool in just a few hours. It was almost dusk when she had only just finished the design drawings and the first version of the model on the data terminal.

"So this is how aliens develop tools. I thought it was like in the movies, where you just move your fingers and tap around on a virtual screen."

“That can be done too, but it would require a large laboratory, and I prefer to do the research and development myself.” Lala spoke with confidence, but Mu Huai knew very well that her tool, like Yagokoro Eirin’s medicine, would definitely have some kind of side effect.

"If you finish making that food machine, remember to let me check it before you use it."

"Yes, everyone is so excited, I'll stay up all night to make it as soon as possible!"

Mu Huai gently tapped her twirling pink ahoge with a chop to the neck, and said helplessly, "Don't stay up late. Staying up late will only make you more prone to problems due to fatigue. Just do it in the club activity room after school during the day."

"I understand." What he said made sense, so Lala didn't insist on her own opinion. She raised her arms and placed his hands on her head, stroking them back and forth. "I won't do anything reckless, don't worry!"

"Well, I believe you."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was starting to get awkward, Banai coughed, putting her right fist to her mouth: "Ahem! The school gates are about to close, let's talk about it when we get home."

What would you all like to eat today?

"Sanae, I want to eat a croquette!"

"Curry beef!"

After nodding and noting down the dishes Lala and Anna wanted to eat, Sanae looked at Moku and asked, "What about you? What do you want to eat?"

"Braised pork belly".

"Ok."

When Hanami Anzu thought about being able to taste the dishes made by Sanae, her mouth watered uncontrollably. She admitted that Sanae was better at cooking than her. Although the cooking steps were similar, Sanae had a unique charm.

Just like the "taste of mom" that people often talk about.

Oh no! If we look at it this way... wouldn't Lala and I become gluttonous daughters?

Sanae Kochiya is a formidable opponent!

Once Lala finishes making the food machine, I'm definitely going to show off my skills to Mu Huai during club activities!

.......

In the boundless depths of the universe, a small spaceship is heading towards the solar system. The frog-faced alien's enormous eyes are bloodshot: "Lala, you can only be my fiancée, Lord Lakospo. I will never let anyone take you away!"

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 16. One last time, time is about to speed up.

Although King Deviluke allowed those nominal suitors of Lala to come to Earth and cause trouble for Mu Huai, Sasdin could not really sit idly by and watch them swagger into Earth without informing Mu Huai.

After detecting a spaceship entering Earth, he immediately used communication to inform them that aliens had entered Earth, and the target was likely Lala.

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Ren immediately cheered in the shadow space: "I've waited so long, and finally I've encountered the kidnapping scene from the novel! Go and beat him into a pig's head!"

“I can’t locate the other party right now… never mind.” Mu Huai changed his mind halfway through his sentence because he caught a glimpse of a blurry shadow flying across the sky and landing in a park not far from Gensokyo High School.

"You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, while you choose to walk into hell when there is no way out."

He muttered something to himself, asked Lala to ask the teacher for leave for him, then ran to the rooftop, transformed into Kamen Rider Faiz, and quickly left the school, heading straight for the park.

"Cough cough cough! Damn it, the air quality on this planet is terrible!" Lakospo kicked open the spaceship's hatch with his short, thick right leg, covered his nose, and cursed as he walked out. "Hurry up and find that fiancé, kill him, and then take Princess Lala away."

His ugly frog-like face looked around, his eyes filled with doubt: "Didn't I set the coordinates to Princess Lala's school? This doesn't look like a school at all."

Who are you?

The black knight, appearing like a ghost, startled Lakospo. After regaining his senses, he immediately pointed at Mu Huai and cursed, "Damn inferior human! Wearing this strange armor to scare Lord Lakospo, how dare you! Don't you know I'm about to marry Princess Lala and become the next ruler of the universe?"

That's such a classic line! What are you planning to do about it?

[It's so classic that I just want to bury it as soon as possible.]

Mu Huai casually replied to Xiao Ren in his mind, then said to the arrogant Lakospo, "Do you believe in gravity? I admire the first person to eat a mushroom, because it might be poisonous."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'll say it one last time, time needs to be sped up."

"START UP!"

The roar of the engine filled the air, and the whole world seemed to slow down. Mu Huai pulled out dozens of gleaming throwing knives from his four-dimensional backpack and tossed them toward the frog-faced Rakospo.

As time accelerated and disappeared, Lakospo lay on the ground, riddled with thorns. His dilated pupils still held the disdain of a second before his death. He never expected that on this remote planet Earth, there would be someone so powerful and ruthless.

"Sassin, I'll leave this guy's body to you. I don't want to touch this toad."

Sasdin emerged from the woods with his men in black, and respectfully knelt on one knee to bow: "Understood, we will handle it cleanly, Lord Mu Huai."

"Ah."

After Mu Huai left, Sasdin stood up, his expression very solemn.

Even as the captain of the personal guard, he failed to capture the moment Mu Huai launched his attack. Considering that Mu Huai said "time is about to accelerate" before he made his move, he could roughly deduce that Mu Huai might have the ability to manipulate time.

"You guys dispose of this guy's body, I'll go back and report to Lord Chido."

"Yes!"

Sasdin felt there was no need to send those oddballs to test Mu Huai anymore. With his ability to manipulate time, those people would only be food for him, and might even interfere with their work of protecting Lala.

......

A few days passed in this way. One day after school, Lala excitedly told Mu Huai and the others that her food machine was finished and that the exciting moment of using it to make food for club activities was about to begin.

Unlike the drooling Hanami Anna and the curious Sanae, Mu Huai was well aware that Lala's inventions were, in a sense, dangerous to a certain extent.

Take Lala's automatic vacuum cleaner as an example. Just by looking at it, it looks like an ordinary robot vacuum cleaner, but who would know that it has a small black hole inside?

If the outer shell used to confine black holes were to break, houses would likely disappear from the earth instantly.

For everyone's safety, Mu Huai asked Lala to use the food machine to make a simple caramel pudding. He watched as she poured the ingredients into the rice cooker-shaped machine and pressed the start button.

He immediately pulled the three women out of the club activity room, closed the door, and observed the situation inside through the transparent glass in the middle.

"Mu Huai, why are you so worried about Lala's invention?"

"Haha..." Lala scratched her hair awkwardly, then explained, "My inventions... do have some unavoidable side effects, but I'm very confident that this food machine won't explode... probably."

"explode!?"

The girl who had just been speaking up for her, Yana, stared wide-eyed in horror and then pulled everyone to a spot ten meters away from the club activity room.

"This distance should be fine."

Sanae had already grasped the wind shield talisman between her fingers. She knew that she couldn't use supernatural abilities in this world, so she cleverly created the talisman to overcome this restriction.

Because of her status as a priestess, she was fortunate that her actions were not seen by the world as the use of supernatural powers. In fact, the restrictions on her use of power were relaxed, allowing her to create other talismans with more powerful effects with greater peace of mind.

Everyone was on guard for a while but no explosion occurred. Instead, they heard a clear "ding" sound, and Lala immediately jumped out from behind Mu Huai: "Yay~ the caramel pudding is ready!"

But there was a figure even faster than her, and that was Anna Hachimi.

She could already smell the unique aroma of pudding wafting from the crack in the club room door. In the blink of an eye, she ran to the door, yanked it open, and excitedly waved to the other three: "Come on over, I can't wait to taste this delicious food!"

As everyone entered the room, Lala turned on the food machine, revealing four fragrant caramel puddings lying quietly inside. She quickly ladled them onto plates for them to enjoy, making sure she had some for herself as well.

"Mmm! The melt-in-your-mouth texture and the rich aroma of milk and caramel make it taste better than any pudding I've ever had in my life!"

Seeing Anja's blissful expression as she cupped her face, Banami quickly inspired the others, who also began to enjoy the caramel pudding.

Before leaving school, she ate a total of twelve servings of crème brûlée made by the food machine.

Just when everyone thought the food machine was completely harmless and returned home, Anzu Hachimi, who was about to take a bath, discovered that her fingers were gradually becoming transparent. At first, it was her skin... then her muscles, blood vessels, and eventually her entire body became completely transparent.

"No...no way, could it be that what Wood said was right?"

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 17 Pudding's Side Effects, The Invisible Human World

Perhaps he's just oblivious, or perhaps Mu Huai had given him a heads-up beforehand.

After Anzu Hachimi discovered that her body had become transparent but she felt no discomfort, the first thing she thought of was to use this "invisible" state to sneak into Moku's house and steal food.

Even though I ate so many puddings at school, the side effects made my stomach, which was originally slightly full, feel empty in an instant.

I remember Mutou made cookies at home yesterday. Lala and Sanae aren't usually that greedy, so there might be some left over...

Her brain automatically conjured up the rich, milky aroma of cookies, and Hachimi Anzu swallowed hard. She put her clothes back on and secretly left home, hiding from her parents.

Because Mu Huai lived right across the street, she chose to walk into his yard, take off her clothes, hide them in the bushes by the wall, and then tiptoe carefully into the house.

As soon as she entered the house, Lala, who walked past her, startled her.

(Wait!? Why are you just walking around wearing only a bath towel?!)

(What about Sanae? Isn't Sanae going to do anything about it??)

"Mu Huai~ The bathroom is empty, go take a shower!"

"understood!"

Originally intending to sneak a bite in the kitchen, Yanami Anna's body moved uncontrollably toward the bathroom. By the time she came to her senses, Mu Huai had already walked in, and even if she wanted to back out, she had no chance.

As she watched him take off his clothes, she widened her eyes, pressed her lips tightly together to prevent herself from breathing heavily, and firmly pressed her right hand against her left hand, which was trying to touch his abs.

Despite her body becoming transparent, Anna Hanami could feel her face burning hot, as if it were on fire. Scenes that she had only ever dreamed of were now unfolding before her eyes, making her smile involuntarily.

"Strange... I have this feeling that I'm being watched?" Mu Huai's words almost made her heart jump out of her chest. Fortunately, he didn't investigate further and casually walked into the bathroom with a towel in hand.

While he was hanging up the towel, Hanami Anzu slipped in, then squatted in the corner and covered her mouth with both hands to continue her spying.

Even though a voice in her heart kept telling her that what she was doing was wrong, the thrill of breaking taboos still made her choose to take the risk and feast her eyes.
