Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

(My brother-in-law is a living, breathing person, and he's going to be living with me in the future. How could I possibly force myself to forget him like I used to...)

After much thought, she could only stare intently at Mu Huai in the images transmitted back by the "eavesdropping morning glory," biting her lip and using her fingertips to temporarily vent her inner turmoil.

But she didn't expect that this look would last all night. The sheets were soaked with sweat and became semi-transparent, revealing the light pink mattress underneath.

......

At the dinner table, Banami saw Lala happily humming a song while eating breakfast, and her long tail would occasionally make a heart shape behind her. She couldn't help but ask, "Lala, why are you so happy? What good thing happened yesterday?"

"Hehe... Yesterday... Mu Huai and I officially became a couple! Although we were engaged before, it didn't really feel real. Love really is an incredible feeling!"

"Clang!"

The chopsticks in her hand fell haphazardly to the ground. Banai saw Anja standing there dumbfounded, her brain unable to process the shocking words.

Her reaction was so obvious that even the listless Mengmeng could tell she liked Mu Huai, and sighed silently in her heart.

(Miss Anzu, you've been stuck in the childhood friend position for so many years and still haven't managed to win over your brother-in-law. Are you really not a hopeless romantic?)

Although she really wanted to comfort her, Mengmeng hadn't even sorted out her own relationship problems yet, so naturally she couldn't take the initiative to talk to her.

Upon hearing the news, Nana merely shrugged slightly without showing any other unusual reaction, and silently picked up her food to eat.

Coming to her senses, Yana saw Anzu bending down to pick up her chopsticks, forcing a smile as she asked in a voice on the verge of tears, "K-Kou-kun, Lala... Lala isn't joking, is she?"

"I'm not joking."

The chopsticks she had finally managed to hold were knocked from her hands by his words. This time, she didn't pick them up again. Instead, she suddenly put down her rice bowl, stood up, and lowered her head, hiding her face behind her hair: "I...I have an upset stomach. Can you ask the teacher for leave for me today?"

After saying that, she ran away without looking back, leaving a trail of glistening tears in the air.

Seeing this, Mengmeng's eyes became deep. She asked herself: If she were Yanagi Anna, would she be more composed, or would she directly confess to Mu Huai and make one last attempt?

Frankly, she didn't have much of a chance against Lala, a formidable rival, but the Deviluke royal family did not enforce monogamy.

The current King Deviluke, who is also their father, Cheetos, simply doesn't have a harem because he is devoted to one person.

However, once when he was drunk, he complained to his daughters: "Back then, I could have easily embraced three thousand beauties in my harem, but I still chose Saifei. It's not because I couldn't handle her, but because she was terrifying when she got angry."

Afterwards, they tattled on him and betrayed him, and Cheto was severely punished by his wife, who grabbed his ear and gave him a good scolding.

Based on the condition that she could build a harem, Mengmeng's thoughts became much clearer instantly, as if she had turned around from a dead end and found a wide road.

If you can't win alone, why not get more companions?

A rough idea of ​​a plan emerged in her mind. Mengmeng felt her weariness blown away by this sudden inspiration. She hurriedly ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, said "I'm full," and rushed to the house of Banami Anzu.

Right now, there's a teammate in front of her who's basically useless except for eating, but at least she can increase her chances of getting the "doll" that her sister also likes, so she can't let her go.

(Thinking about it this way... could Nana also be included in this plan?)

As Mengmeng walked, she kept refining her plan in her mind. By the time she reached the front of Hanami Anna's house, she had already decided on the name of the plan—the Paradise Project.

During this time, she did not notice at all that two beautiful figures carrying parasols brushed past her and walked straight towards Mu Huai's house.

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 66 The Sister-in-Law Who Recruits People

When Banai saw Anja run back to her room with her head down, lean against the door and slowly slide down to sit on the floor, tears welling up in her eyes and blurring her vision instantly.

She bit her lower lip hard with her teeth, refusing to let out a weak cry. She bit so hard that her lips broke, and blood slid down her tongue, mixed with the tears at the corners of her mouth.

The bitter, rusty, and salty taste tore at her heart, and even the air around her seemed to be so cold that she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"So this is what heartbreak feels like... I really am a coward with no courage... Why can't I just confess to him?"

As Hana saw Anja choking back tears and questioning herself, she realized that besides being foolish, she had also possessed a natural arrogance.

She believed that Mu Huai would stay by her side and never go anywhere, that he would naturally wait for her to muster the courage to confess, and that the love she longed for could be obtained through defense.

She was indulging in the comfort zone of her own relationship, but overlooked a crucial point: relationships require taking the initiative.

Before Lala, this beautiful girl who appeared out of nowhere, had countless opportunities to confess her feelings to Anna, but she always backed down because of her timidity.

In her regret, she couldn't help but fantasize about what would have happened if she had mustered up the courage at some point, made a joking confession, and then stood on tiptoe to give Mu Huai her most important first kiss.

Could everything then change drastically?

Anna's fantasy didn't last long. The stinging sensation on her lips pulled her back to reality, and the faint light in her eyes went out again.

She bent her legs and hugged her knees, imitating an ostrich burying her head in her dark arms, hiding from the seemingly brilliant sunlight outside the window like a vampire afraid of the sun.

"Dong Dong!!"

"Xingcai, are you alright?"

"Could you please open the glass door to the balcony?"

Mengmeng anxiously knocked on the balcony door. She rang the doorbell for two or three minutes downstairs but no one answered. Worried that Banami Anna might do something extreme because of her breakup, she could only fly down to the second-floor balcony to check on the situation.

When I saw her huddled by the door, radiating a dark and gloomy aura, I was overwhelmed by a sense of despair for the world. I immediately knocked on the door and tried to wake her up.

This was the first teammate she started the amusement park project. If she couldn't even save her initial partner, what kind of amusement park would she be talking about?

Just as Mengmeng was anxiously preparing to use plants to forcefully break open the glass door and rush in, Banami Anzu raised her head and looked at Mengmeng with her red but dull eyes.

"Dream...dream...two slips??栮?I three drops of water??"

"It's me! Open the door quickly, I have something very important to tell you!!"

"I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood right now..." she said, preparing to bury her face back down.

"It's about my brother-in-law! Do you want to be with him?"

When Banai saw Anja tremble, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes, but remembering that she was Mengmeng's sister-in-law, she laughed self-deprecatingly: "Don't joke around at a time like this. I'm tired. You should go back."

"I'm not kidding. My brother-in-law will definitely become King Deviluke. Royal families don't practice monogamy!!"

As soon as Mengmeng finished speaking, Banami Anzu, who had just looked like she was dying and had "abandoned me," rushed to the balcony door and unlocked it, her pale face flushed with excitement.

"Are you kidding me? Tell me in detail about the marriage system in the universe!"

"Your attitude changed way too quickly..."

She sniffed awkwardly, realizing that she still had tears on her face, and hurriedly turned and ran out of the room: "Please sit down first, I'll go make some tea and wash my face."

As a fellow girl, Mengmeng could understand the stark contrast in her attitude. When someone brings hope to someone who is in despair, few people can maintain emotional stability during the ups and downs of life.

About ten minutes later, Anna Hanami came in with a tray carrying two cups of black tea and snacks. Her eyes were no longer as red as before, but the light in them was still somewhat dim.

After calming down, she began to think that Mengmeng's words were just a white lie made up to comfort her, but she still held onto a sliver of hope.

If what she said is true, then she can return to Mu Huai's side as his lover.

After setting out the tea and snacks, Banami saw Anja sitting opposite her, peeking at Momo with hopeful eyes, clearly not daring to ask if the matter was true or false.

Although Mengmeng was cunning, she wouldn't deliberately keep her in suspense and torment her at a time like this. After roughly going through her plan in her mind, she explained it in an orderly manner.

During this process, Anna's mouth gradually opened, until it was wide enough to fit a small apple. She was so excited that she was incoherent: "You, you, you're not kidding, are you? You really won't make Lala angry by doing this? She's your older sister!"

"Of course I've considered my sister's perspective. Have you forgotten what she always says?"

"The most important thing is for everyone to live happily together..."

“That’s right!” Mengmeng smiled and snapped her fingers, then picked up a cup of warm red tea to soothe her throat. “Subconsciously, my sister isn’t against the harem. All we have to do is fulfill her wish and let everyone live happily together.”

"But...isn't that a bit cunning?"

Faced with Anna Hanami still hesitating and backing down at this moment, Mengmeng rolled her eyes in annoyance and gave her a strong dose of medicine: "Then you can continue to stay in the position of the loser childhood friend and watch the three of us sisters and brother-in-law being all lovey-dovey."

"No way!" she instinctively retorted loudly. When she came to her senses and faced the teasing gazes, she was so embarrassed that she frantically dug her toes into the soles of her shoes, stubbornly saying, "I...I was worried that you would ruin his health, so...I added it as a safety net."

Will you ruin Mu Huai's health?

This might be the funniest joke Mengmeng has heard since coming to Earth.

She was able to torment her and Nana's sister, whose physical abilities far surpassed hers, until they begged for mercy. Even if the three of them attacked together, they would probably end up in the same situation. And yet, Banami was worried about Anzu.

Mengmeng just wanted to laugh out loud three times; who knows who will break whom in the end?

"Ah... Mengmeng, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Go ahead and tell me. We're practically partners now. I'll do my best to help if I can."

"It's not a difficult thing, it's just... could you help me sound out Mu Huai's opinion?"

"Huh???" Mengmeng frowned in confusion, her eyes filled with bewilderment: "You and your brother-in-law have been childhood sweethearts for so many years, how can there be something you're not sure about?"

"I...I don't know if he likes me..."

"My God..." Mengmeng covered her face speechlessly.

Meanwhile, the arrival of Remilia and Yuuka Kazami is causing a minor disturbance at Mu Huai's house.

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 67 Remilia, who jumped into the pit herself.

Mu Huai, Lala, and Nana were washing dishes in the kitchen when they suddenly heard the doorbell ring. They thought it was Mengmeng coming back.

He opened the door, and two figures, one tall and one short, holding umbrellas, appeared before him, leaving him stunned and staring at them blankly.

Remilia raised her chin haughtily: "Mu Huai, I came all this way to see you. Why don't you invite me in? It's so rude of me to just stand here at the door like an idiot."

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you and Yuuka to come here. Please come in, I'll make some tea."

"That's more like it. I'd like black tea, with sugar and milk."

"Give me a cup of... coffee. I heard from Tornado that this strange drink can refresh you, and I'm very interested in it."

Yuuka Kazami's choice was unexpected.

"No problem, but the coffee is bitter. Would you like to add milk and sugar as well?"

Seeing that Mu Huai treated her like Remilia beside him, Kazami Yuuka twirled her parasol in dissatisfaction, a dangerous smile playing on her lips: "I feel like I'm being treated like a little kid by this traitor. Is it just my imagination?"

"That's not true. I'll go make some tea right away!"

"Wait, flower fairy, are you secretly calling me a child?"

"I didn't say that, so don't take it personally."

"you!"

Remilia stomped her feet in anger, but Yuuka ignored her, folded her parasol, and gracefully walked into the house.

Soon, four beautiful girls, each with their own unique charm, were sitting in the living room. Lala's curious gaze lingered on the black wings on Remilia's back, while Nana cast a furious glance at Mu Huai.

(How does this guy manage to attract pretty girls even when he's just staying at home?)

"Let me introduce you. This is Remilia, and this is Yuuka Kazami. Like Suika, she is also a youkai."

"Brother-in-law, why do these monsters keep coming to you?"

"Brother-in-law?" Kazami Yuuka raised an eyebrow, quite surprised to hear such a form of address.

Nana said firmly, "That's right, my sister and brother-in-law are lovers and engaged. If you monsters had any self-awareness, you wouldn't come to our house and disturb our normal lives all the time."

“Heh he ...

"No, we're aliens!"

"Wow~ aliens."

These words reminded Kazami Yuuka of the two moon people living in the Lost Bamboo Forest, and she also sensed the enormous energy contained within Lala's body, her scarlet eyes igniting with fighting spirit.

When the youkai from Gensokyo come to this world, they can only retain one special ability at most, and the rest are suppressed within their bodies.

As a powerful flower yokai, Kazami Yuuka's skills lie in physical combat and her seemingly inexhaustible yokai power. Therefore, she is not subject to many restrictions, except that she can no longer freely use her flower umbrella to fire magic cannons.

As her only disciple, Mu Huai could easily see that she was itching to fight, so he quickly said, "Youxiang! If you want to fight with Lala, go to the dance studio. Don't break my house!"

"A dance studio? Do we have such a place in our house?" Lala tilted her head in confusion.

"Fine, since you've begged me so pitifully, let's postpone this for now."

Having spent a lot of time with Mu Huai, Kazami Yuuka could understand the gist of his strange words. This world was not like Gensokyo, where if a building was damaged, you could call Kappa Heavy Industries to repair it in no time.

A qualified master will not cause trouble for his disciple for no reason, unless the disciple wants to be a rebellious disciple.

"Hmph~ Boring." Remilia downed her tea in one gulp, then glanced sideways at Mu Huai: "I'm hungry. Where's your bedroom?"

"Go up to the second floor, it's the first room on the right."

"Okay, I'll wait for you inside. Remember to come over quickly."

After saying that, Remilia walked out of the living room at a leisurely pace. Only after she disappeared from their sight did she look around the house with the expression of a curious child, looking for any new and interesting things.

"Brother-in-law, why did she call you into the bedroom because she was hungry? Give me a proper explanation!"

Nana walked up to Mu Huai with a dark expression, kicked off her right slipper, and placed her white bubble sock-clad foot on the sofa next to his legs. She leaned forward slightly, looking every bit like an interrogator.
