Tatara looked conflicted. She had finally managed to win over Lumia and start a battle with the three fairies for the position of the eldest child in the family.

Star opened her little mouth, sat on Xia Xun's lap, and let him feed her breakfast. Looking at the tangled little umbrella of Tatara, she thought for a moment, then flew to her ear and whispered.

"If you agree to Sunny's request, we'll invite you to play the back-stepping game with Xia Xun next time."

"Deal!" Tatara Kousan immediately made the decision, couldn't help but look up at Xia Xun, and then shyly turned her head away.

These past two days, she had heard the three fairies boasting countless times at the Fairy House. Although she kept comforting herself, she was her master's umbrella, and it was her duty to shelter him from the wind and rain.

However, it would be great if I could do a little more service for Xia Xun like the Three Fairies.

However.

Looking at the three fairies, Tatara felt somewhat outnumbered and weak, so he turned his gaze to Lumia, and his thoughts drifted to his recently made friends.

Yes, there's strength in numbers. We really need to bring along the other two to fight against the three demons.

"Quick, quick, Xiaosan, call me Boss Sunny~"

Sunny, on the other hand, was already beaming with joy, eagerly looking at Tatara's umbrella.

Looking at the little ones making a ruckus, Xia Xun smiled helplessly and pinched Luna's little face sitting next to him: "When we go out to play today, please ask Luna to keep an eye on Sunny and not let her be too naughty."

"Mmm, I'll keep a close eye on Sunny and the others." Luna nodded her little head, her light brown spiral hair bobbing with her movements, and with her obedient expression, she looked like a quiet little cutie.

Of course she will behave well and won't play pranks like before.

After all, I've found something new and interesting to do.

Luna looked up at Xia Xun, her ruby-like eyes sparkling with a lively light. Last night, she had successfully sneaked into Xia Xun's bedroom again and watched him from behind the curtains all night long.

After a lively breakfast time.

Xia Xun first went to the forging room and took out the newly smelted minerals. Including the previous storage, there were a total of 1687 copper ingots, 1589 iron ingots, 51 gold ingots, 68 refined quartz, and some other gemstones.

Actually, after learning about the gold price in Gensokyo, Natsumi had considered upgrading the ordinary sprinkler to a high-quality one.

However, after careful consideration, he abandoned the plan. After all, even if the price of gold dropped, it was still much more expensive than copper and iron ore, which was not worthwhile.

They took 1500 copper ore and 1500 iron ore, and Xia Xun quickly made 1500 sprinklers.

"Alright, now everyone watch my demonstration."

Standing on the edge of the field, Xia Xun held a watering can in her hand, rinsing the fishy smell in front of her.

Installing a sprinkler is not like farming or harvesting, where you can delegate some of the work to others.

"This is called a regular sprinkler. One sprinkler occupies an area of ​​five square meters, and the actual watering range is four square meters around it."

"Therefore, everyone can install it like this." With that, Xia Xun took to the air and demonstrated.

Thank you Gensokyo, flying is common sense. Otherwise, if you installed water sprinklers on the land after planting, many of the seedlings that just sprouted this morning would definitely have been trampled and broken.

As the sprinkler was installed, Xia Xun could clearly see water elements converging towards it and accumulating within it, while grass and earth elements swept across the watering area like waves, checking the condition of the crops.

As Xia Xun continued to learn magic, she found that she could understand the working principles of many water sprinklers.

The only thing I don't understand is why a copper ingot and a piece of iron can achieve such a magical effect.

The roads in Stardew Valley are truly magical.

Xia Xun felt very curious and couldn't help but think of the teleportation totem he had given to Kawashiro Nitori. He wondered if there had been any research results.

Perhaps he can use this to glimpse some traces of his own power, laying the foundation for the future development of new agricultural tools.

Chapter 238 Kaguya? Not familiar with it.

Snapped!

The axe fell, splitting the wood in two.

Fujiwara no Mokou put down her axe, bent down and picked up the pieces of wood from the ground, holding them in her arms as she headed towards the kitchen.

"Yo, Mokou, I'm here~!"

Suddenly, a voice came from afar, stopping Fujiwara no Mokou in her tracks.

After walking through the bamboo forest path, Xia Xun lowered her arms and looked at the small house in front of her with some surprise.

Compared to the simple wooden cabin I saw last time, Fujiwara no Mokou's house is now much more refined. Not only has it been equipped with electrical wiring, but it also looks like it has been completely renovated, with all the windows replaced with transparent glass windows.

"Alright, stop just staring."

Fujiwara no Mokou waved to Natsumi, her tone somewhat irritable, and said, "You first teach me how to use those things in the kitchen, and then go upstairs and wake up Kaguya."

“I’m worried that if I go up there, I won’t be able to resist burning the woman and the house down together.”

Xia Xun initially found Fujiwara no Mokou's tone strange, but after hearing what she said next, he instantly understood why.

"Did Miss Kaguya place this house renovation order for you later?" Xia Xun couldn't help but ask to confirm, as he didn't remember ordering this service before.

Fujiwara no Mokou paused in her tracks, then scratched her long, silvery-white hair with annoyance: "Yeah, that guy secretly placed an order for the kappa sometime ago."

"Damn it, if this weren't my house, I'd rather burn it down." Fujiwara no Mokou said through gritted teeth, with flames rising faintly from her body.

Even before Fujiwara no Mokou, the original owner, had moved in after the house was renovated, Houraisan Kaguya moved in first.

At that moment, Fujiwara no Mokou realized that the house renovation wasn't for her to live in at all; it was entirely Kaguya's doing.

In an instant, Fujiwara no Mokou was almost ready to set the house on fire and perish together with that outrageous Kaguya Houraisan.

But reason stopped her.

Although building a new house is not too difficult for Fujiwara no Mokou, who has lived for many years, it takes a lot of time to build a good house that can be lived in for a long time.

Moreover, the newly renovated house smelled wonderful after just one night.

Fujiwara no Mokou was somewhat reluctant to see her house, which she had lived in for so many years, destroyed because of Kaguya.

"What on earth is Eirin doing?" Fujiwara no Mokou spat angrily, her face full of resentment.

Her own princess hasn't returned for two days. Doesn't she worry?

If it weren't for her pride, Fujiwara no Mokou would have gone to Yagokoro Eirin to complain and have her drag Kaguya Houraisan away, who was stubbornly refusing to leave her house.

Xia Xun just smiled at the sight, finding the love-hate relationship between Fujiwara no Mokou and Houraisan Kaguya quite interesting.

However, the premise is that you don't mix it in.

"Haha, Mokou, don't be angry. How about I tell you something that will make you happy?" Xia Xun walked up to Fujiwara Mokou with a smile, raised his index finger and said mysteriously.

"Of course, I cannot grant your request to wake Miss Kaguya. Entering a young girl's private room without permission is not the behavior of a gentleman."

"Heh, still calling yourself a 'young girl'? That girl's worth less than a fraction of what you'd be your great-grandmother."

Fujiwara no Mokou sneered, looking at Natsumi who seemed reluctant to comply, and suddenly smiled: "However, Natsumi, you actually didn't want to get close to Kaguya."

"I bet that guy will still have the nerve to say he's incredibly charming next time."

"Alright, teach me how to use the things in the kitchen first. We'll have Reisen call Kaguya later." Turning to walk towards the kitchen, Fujiwara no Mokou asked curiously, "But Natsumi, what's this thing you said you're happy about?"

"Hehe, this one~"

Natsumi, who found Fujiwara no Mokou's sharp words to Houraisan Kaguya amusing, suddenly smiled. What's coming next is sure to be very interesting.

"Just the day before yesterday, Stardew Valley Farm reached a cooperation agreement with Tengu and the Water Spirit Child, and the farm's shipments have a new division."

"And then, this is your shipping box for Mokou." Taking a shipping box out of her backpack, Xia Xun looked at Fujiwara Mokou, who looked completely bewildered, and smiled, "Because Eientei has not formally signed a supply agreement with Stardew Valley."

"Stardew Valley has gained two new partners this time, so Yukari Yakumo proposed removing the exclusive supply from Eientei, which was agreed upon by many people."

“Hey~” Fujiwara no Mokou’s eyes lit up, and a pleasant smile gradually appeared on her lips.

“As a farmer, I naturally have to consider the suggestions of my other partners, but…” Xia Xun couldn’t stop smiling as he looked at Fujiwara no Mokou, who was also smiling happily, and said, “Considering that Eien-tei is living in seclusion in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, and that you, Mokou, are my savior, also live here.”

"Therefore, the supply share to Eientei, or rather the Lost Bamboo Forest, will be reduced from 2% to 1%, and the shipping boxes will be handed over to Mokou for management."

"As for the specific allocation of the supply share of the Lost Bamboo Forest, I'll leave it to you and your neighbor Eiwantei to discuss it yourselves."

"Xia Xun, you did a great job!"

Fujiwara no Mokou's expression instantly became incredibly excited. She grabbed the shipping box that Xia Xun handed her and began to examine it like a precious treasure.

Having tasted the crops produced in Stardew Valley, she didn't believe that Kaguya, that pampered princess, could tolerate ordinary ingredients.

By controlling the shipping container, one essentially controls that guy's livelihood.

At this moment, Fujiwara no Mokou could already imagine Kaguya Houraisan crying and rolling around in her room because she couldn't get any good food.

"Hahaha, from today onwards, you're my brother." Fujiwara no Mokou patted Xia Xun's shoulder enthusiastically.

"Ahem, that's what Mokou said." After being patted on the back, Xia Xun coughed twice and laughed, "After all, you are my savior."

"As for Miss Kaguya, I'm not familiar with her."

Hehehe~!

With her teeth clenched, Kaguya Houraisan stood at the second-floor window, watching the two wicked people below, her small chest heaving with anger.

This scene terrified Reisen behind him, while only Eirin Yagokoro watched Natsumi below with interest.

The news from the Wenwen Daily involuntarily came to mind, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

Looking at her princess, who was on the verge of exploding with anger, Yagokoro Eirin looked up at the direction of the Moon Palace, and a few ideas came to her mind.

Originally, she came this morning intending to catch Kaguya who had run away, but after seeing Xia Xun, she changed her mind.

Looking at Kaguya Houraisan, Eirin Yagokoro felt it was best to wait and see.

Although she knew that her princess's anger was mostly due to Mokou.

Even so, he had a different attitude towards Xia Xun than towards other women.

Eirin Yagokoro doesn't know the specifics of what happened, but it's a good thing. Perhaps in the future, Natsumi will be able to help the princess.

But Kaguya Houraisan was unaware of Eirin Yagokoro's inner turmoil. In her anger, she reached out and said, "Eirin, Eirin, quickly give me some laxatives!"

"I'm going to teach those two a lesson they won't forget."

Chapter 239 Aren't we friends?

Go home early tonight.

Eirin Yagokoro seemed not to see Kaguya Houraisan's outstretched hand and calmly gave her instructions.

"Rinsen, what's your relationship with that Mr. Natsumi?" Yagokoro Eirin asked, turning to look at Rinsen standing behind her.

Lingxian, who was in a daze, suddenly snapped out of it and quickly looked at her master, saying, "Mr. Xia Xun and I are only acquaintances."

"But Mr. Xia Xun is quite easy to talk to. Is there anything you need, Master?"

“Is that so?” Yagokoro Eirin nodded.

"Eirin, why are you asking this? Give me the laxative right now!" Kaguya Houraisan grabbed Eirin Yagokoro's clothes, who was ignoring him, and looked relentless.

"Her Highness has decided to stop consuming Stardew Valley products." Eirin Yagokoro said calmly, looking at the angry Kaguya Houraisan. "If she has made up her mind, I will naturally follow her decision."

"Although there is no exclusive sales quota, it is still enough to buy from stores for pharmaceutical experiments."

"Eh~!"

Lingxian was shocked and looked at her master in disbelief.

Why did the two adults in the family suddenly want to cut the food allowance?

"Master, Your Highness, what happened?" Suzume asked hurriedly.

Kaguya Houraisan reluctantly lowered her hand, her cheeks puffed out in anger.

Compared to the lack of delicious food and the fact that Mokou would be showing off later, it's okay to put up with it.

The grudges from the game are settled in the game.

As for Xia Xun's comment about not being familiar with the subject, Houraisan Kaguya didn't seem to care much, since it was true.

The only thing that angered her was that this guy was clearly deliberately giving Mokou some leverage.

Xia Xun has been getting a bit too close to turkeys lately; I need to figure out what to do.

Looking at Kaguya Houraisan, whose eyes were gleaming with cunning, Eirin Yagokoro smiled slightly and looked at Reisen, who was still in a daze: "Because of a petty youkai, the verbal sales agreement reached between Eientei and Stardew Valley has been cancelled."

"But Mr. Natsumi did not agree because of Miss Mokou's relationship with the princess; he simply handed over the distribution channels to Miss Mokou."

As Reisen listened to Eirin Yagokoro's account, her expression kept changing, and she finally understood why her princess was reacting so strongly.
