Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

She caught a glimpse of a small note on the table out of the corner of her eye and looked down at it.

[Nana, could you please give that other bottle of "Courage and Frankness Spray" to Mengmeng? Tell her it's a spray that makes people speak their minds more freely.]

"Huh? What does Mengmeng need this spray for? Is she planning to play a prank on me?"

Nana frowned and thought for a while, feeling that her guess was a bit too far-fetched. Apart from matters concerning Mu Huai, she usually spoke her mind directly, and the spray had basically no effect on her.

"Never mind, at least I know what this spray looks like beforehand, so even if she really wants to play a prank on me, I can take precautions in advance."

She casually stuffed the pink bottle into her pocket, showing none of the caution she had shown when she took the blue spray bottle. She tiptoed out of Lala's room and handed the spray to Mengmeng when she came out of the living room to get a drink.

"A new gadget from my older sister? But I didn't ask her to make something like this. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Nana couldn't wait to go back to her bedroom to test the effects of the breast enhancement spray, so she didn't bother to explain to Mengmeng slowly. She impatiently shoved the pink spray into Mengmeng's hand.

"Oh dear, I already told you she specifically asked me to give this to you, how could I possibly make a mistake? Just take it!"

"Okay, I'll ask my older sister after I finish cooking."

"No, she's sleeping. She's probably just tired from developing the props. Let her sleep until she wakes up naturally."

"understood."

Mengmeng had no choice but to put away the props with doubt. When she went to Banami Anna's house as usual, she heard the other party make all sorts of loser remarks and cowardly actions.

She gradually came to understand everything.

"So, my older sister wants me to use 'Courageous and Straightforward Spray' on Anzu? Does that mean she already knows about the Paradise Project?"

"No, no, no, she could never know. She must have just guessed what Xingcai felt for me, otherwise she wouldn't have given me this kind of tool."

As Banami Anzu was pouring out her troubles to Mengmeng, she suddenly noticed that Mengmeng was frowning and muttering something under her breath. Curious, she reached out and waved her hand in front of Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng, what are you saying?"

"Xingcai..."

"W-what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so serious?"

"Why don't you ask your brother-in-law to go to the amusement park tomorrow?"

"Huh?" Banai saw Anzu's eyes widen in disbelief, her index finger pointing directly at herself: "Me???"

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 78 The Show Is About to Begin

Despite her lack of confidence, Anzu still managed to send an invitation text message to Mu Huai after being relentlessly persuaded by Mengmeng.

Xingcai: "Wooden Man, um... do you have time tomorrow?"

Mu Huai: Yes, the production team has just entered the female lead's flashback storyline, so I don't need to film for the time being. I'll be free for the next few weeks.

Xingcai: "Then, how about we go to the amusement park together tomorrow? Just the two of us."

After sending the message, Mu Huai didn't respond for a long time. Mengmeng and Banai saw Xingcai staring nervously at their phone screens, not daring to blink.

When her eyes became extremely dry, Banami Anzu finally raised her hand to rub them and asked dejectedly, "What should I do? He's not replying to my messages. Is it because he wants to reject me but doesn't know how to answer me?"

"Don't be so negative. Maybe your brother-in-law was just distracted by someone else, which is why he didn't have time to reply to you."

"Really?" she asked in a low voice, as if her voice was about to break.

Mengmeng quickly patted her back to comfort her: "Really! There's Nana, my sister, and Miss Remilia at home. No matter who comes to see my brother-in-law, he might not have time to reply to messages right away."

As they were talking, their phones vibrated, and the two of them quickly turned their heads to look at the screen.

Mu Huai: "Nana called me earlier and I didn't reply in time, I'm sorry."

Anzu: "It's okay, it's okay. So... what have you thought about going out to play?"

Mu Huai replied quickly this time, but he sent a picture. Unfortunately, at that moment, the Wi-Fi speed at Banami Anna's house seemed to be having some problems, and the picture kept loading and spinning.

The two were so anxious they were like ants on a hot pan, pacing around the room with their phones in hand.

"Damn it!!! Why does the network have to fail at such a crucial time!"

"Yeah, the timing is really bad. Wait... since the Wi-Fi isn't working, Xingcai, hurry up and switch to mobile data!"

"Ooooooo!!!"

Reminded by Mengmeng, Banami Anzu remembered that there was still mobile data available. She immediately turned off Wi-Fi and turned on mobile data, successfully loading the picture sent by Mu Huai.

Inside were two tickets to a luxury amusement park. Mengmeng might not know much about them, but Banami Anna immediately recognized where they were from.

"This...this is...the ticket to that Disneyland in the city center!?"

The excited screams almost pierced Mengmeng's eardrums. She put on a pain mask, covered her throbbing ears, and asked, "Is this Disneyland famous?"

"Of course, it's famous all over the world, and it also features cosplay of characters from various works!"

"That sounds quite interesting."

"Right? I remember last time Disney even invited Kyoko, the super popular magical girl, to cosplay for a day!"

"Kyoko the Magical Girl...is that the tokusatsu series that my older sister really likes?"

"Uh-huh!"

(In that case, maybe I can ask my older sister to observe Ancho's performance with me using the Invisibility Grass tomorrow. If she backs down again at the crucial moment, I can immediately use the spray to encourage her.)

Mengmeng was 99% certain that Lala's new invention was intended to make Banai see Anja confess to Muhuai, which was why she wanted to ask her to follow along.

After roughly outlining her plans for tomorrow, she inadvertently saw the pathetic Anna Hanami holding her phone and grinning like an idiot. She had only typed a few words in her reply to Mu Huai, which almost made her mouth twist with anger.

"Xingcai, hurry up and answer your brother-in-law! What if he thinks you don't want to go to Disneyland?"

"Aaaaaah!! Sorry, I'll send a message right away!"

She hurriedly typed her reply and sent it while waving her two thumbs, and after seeing the "read" icon pop up next to the message, she continued to stare at the screen and grin foolishly.

"Hehehe... He actually prepared the tickets in advance. Does he want to ask me out too?"

Mengmeng was speechless at her act of opening champagne halfway through the event; she had already tasted enough of it during this time.

"No wonder you've managed to maintain your childhood sweetheart status for so many years. Even the god of romance strategies would probably have to shake his head in disbelief..."

From another perspective, Anzu Hachimi, who was able to decide to remain childhood friends at every crucial juncture in their relationship, might be even more terrifying than the God of Conquest.

Just like in an exam, being able to avoid all the correct answers is also a skill.

"Sigh... I hope your date goes well tomorrow..."

"Don't say that, Mengmeng! Give me some advice! I've never been to an amusement park with Mutou before!"

"Huh!? You've been childhood sweethearts for over ten years, and you've never even been to an amusement park with your brother-in-law??"

Anna Hachimi smiled awkwardly: "It's because Kiki-kun's financial situation wasn't good before, so I basically wouldn't invite him to go to places that cost too much money."

"He also likes to stay at home playing games, reading comics, and studying cooking. A large part of the time we spend alone is at his house."

"Okay..." Mengmeng reluctantly accepted this explanation, her tone softening considerably: "Then I'm going to use my professional (GALGAME) knowledge to plan your date route, so listen carefully and don't forget the key points!"

"Yes, Teacher Mengmeng!"

......

On the other side, Mu Huai finished replying to the message, put down his phone, and casually patted Nana's soft head beside him: "Thank you for the gift. I'll take you to the zoo next time."

"Okay, but you can't go back on your word!"

"of course not."

Nana smiled happily, then realized that she was smiling too obviously. She coughed, pinched her pink earlobe, and turned her gaze to the TV screen, pretending to be nonchalant.

"You invited me first, and I only agreed because I felt it would be too pitiful for you to go alone!"

"I know, I know."

The Disneyland ticket was a grand prize that Nana won while shopping in the shopping street using a raffle ticket. She didn't really like amusement parks, so she simply gave the ticket to Mu Huai.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional act led Mu Huai to promise to take her to the zoo. She was secretly delighted, and even the dull TV dramas on TV became much more interesting.

(Is this what they mean by "unintentionally planting willows and getting a shady grove"?)

"It's almost time to cook, Nana. In half an hour, could you go upstairs and call Remilia and Lala down for me?"

"understood."

After Mu Huai entered the kitchen, Nana took out the blue bottle of "Instant Enlargement Spray" from her phone, glanced at it, and then carefully put it back.

"I'll use this prop when my brother-in-law takes me to the zoo. It'll definitely grab his attention!"

Nana, in her single-minded way, didn't think about why she wanted to attract Mu Huai's attention; she just subconsciously felt that she should do it.

At the same time, she didn't know that the "instant breast enlargement spray" she had in her hands, which was regarded as her hope, did not have the breast enhancement effect she imagined, but rather a spray that made people more straightforward.

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 79 - His only concern was food.

At dawn, the sky was just beginning to lighten with a soft, white glow.

Anna was woken up by her phone alarm while she was fast asleep. She groggily picked up her phone to turn off the alarm and go back to sleep, but after seeing the message on the screen, "Going to Disneyland with Kiki-kun today," she realized that the alarm was still ringing.

My mind instantly cleared up, and I threw off the covers and jumped out of bed to prepare lunch for today's date.

Even though Mu Huai's current financial situation is quite good, and he could easily eat at the theme restaurant in the amusement park, Banami Anna still prefers to make her own bento boxes to bring over.

Firstly, it can save him money; secondly, it's a very happy thing to cook food that suits the tastes of someone you like.

Considering that going to an amusement park would be very physically demanding, she specially made the portion extra large, with the bento box stacked up to be about 20 or 30 centimeters high, almost requiring you to hold it in your hands.

Fortunately, Mu Huai has some advanced technology that can store items, so the two of them don't have to carry such a heavy burden around the amusement park.

"Hmm! This is the best bento I've ever made!" Anna clapped her hands in satisfaction, then turned her head to look at the clock on the wall.

"It's almost 7:30! I need to hurry up and change my clothes!"

She and Mu Huai had agreed to meet at 8:30, which seemed like plenty of time, but if you factor in choosing clothes and doing makeup, it would be far from enough.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!!"

Quietly urging herself on, after washing up, Hachimi Anzu opened the wardrobe and, looking at the dazzling array of clothes, suffered from decision paralysis.

Even though they were all clothes she liked, she still felt that they weren't quite perfect. It took her more than half an hour just to choose the clothes.

After changing her clothes, Anna sat down in front of the dressing table and began to put on makeup.

Even though she rushed as fast as she could, she still couldn't meet Mu Huai at the agreed time, and he came to her door instead.

She opened the door apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I took a little longer to prepare."

"It's okay." Mu Huai was about to compliment her on how beautiful she looked today, but his eyes were drawn to the oversized lunchbox on the entryway cabinet. "Although you said you would make lunchboxes, I didn't expect it to be this big."

"I was worried that going to the amusement park would be too tiring, so I made extra food. You should be able to fit it all in there, right?"

"Yes, it's very easy."

Mu Huai reached out and touched the lunchbox, instantly putting it into his four-dimensional backpack.

"That's good." Seeing Anja breathe a sigh of relief, Bana patted her chest twice. "It would have been troublesome if it couldn't fit."

“Even if I can’t fit it all in the box, I’ll do everything I can to bring it to the amusement park. This is food you made yourself.”

"Hehe, if you praise me like that, I'll get arrogant."

Seeing Anzu shyly clasp her two small hands in front of her, gently turn around, and bite her lower lip while secretly laughing.

"Oh right, there's something I almost forgot to mention."

"what's up?"

Mu Huai reached out his right hand to her bewildered gaze, gently brushed aside a strand of blue hair, and looked directly into her eyes with tenderness and focus.

"You look beautiful today; light makeup suits you perfectly."

"Gurgle..."

"Goo? You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

"Guaaaaaah!!!"

Seeing Anja's fair face turn bright red, Hana covered her face, turned around, and ran towards the bathroom with a strange cry.

"Seriously? I just complimented her a little and she's already so upset? When did her defenses get so low?"

After muttering a few words of confusion to himself, Mu Huai took out his phone, which was vibrating incessantly, and glanced at it.

Nana: "Brother-in-law, I've managed to stall Remilia, so you can go to work without worry today!"

Mu Huai: "Okay, thank you. I'll bring you some snacks when I get back. What do you want to eat?"
