"You are, Miss Hisako?"

Somewhat surprised, Xia Xun hurriedly stepped forward. He remembered that this person introduced himself as a guard from the other side. Why did he suddenly come to visit?

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xia Xun."

Tsubasa Hisako quickly stood up and bowed to Natsumi, then hurriedly said, "I am sorry for any rudeness in my visit, as I arrived without permission."

"I came here because I heard about the reputation of Stardew Valley Farm and wanted to visit it."

"Visit the farm?" Xia Xun was taken aback, not expecting that was the other party's purpose.

Although he didn't know why the other party had suddenly come to visit the farm, Xia Xun didn't mind, and he already had the idea of ​​getting along well with the other party.

“Although the farm construction is not yet complete, it is certainly possible if Miss Kuwaka is interested.” Nodding, Xia Xun gestured for Tingdu Kuwaka to wait a moment, then went upstairs to change her clothes before quickly coming downstairs.

"Let me, as the host of this place, guide Miss Kuwaka." With a smile, Xia Xun invited her, leading the somewhat excited Kuwaka Tsubado out of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Saigyouji Yuyuko, who was on the sofa, showed interest in the sight and followed, floating beside Natsumi.

Marisa Kirisame, who had just sat down on the sofa, also joined in with a smile. Rather than sitting and waiting for the meal to be served, it was more suitable for her to wander around.

She originally wanted to turn back and pull Reimu Hakurei along, but seeing that the guy looked limp as soon as he sat down, she decided not to waste her time.

Leading the group, Xia Xun first took them to visit the farmland area, which totaled thirty-five acres of arable land. All the land had been planted, and the crops swayed gently in the setting sun.

Marisa Kirisame casually picked a nearly ripe cucumber from the vine, wiped it on her clothes, and took a bite.

The refreshing and sweet taste brought a smile to her face. Her gaze fell on the scarecrow and the water sprinkler on the ground, her eyes darting around. The scarecrow could scare away birds, and the water sprinkler was automatic.

The scarecrow is so-so, but the water sprinkler is kind of interesting. I'll borrow a couple to take back and study when I have time.

After visiting the farm's most important agricultural area, Xia Xun led everyone back to the courtyard and headed towards the flower area.

As he passed under the big tree in the courtyard, he saw that Cirno had successfully joined the group of friends and was being lectured by Kazue Kamishirasawa.

The terrifying aura made Xia Xun afraid to approach, and Fujiwara no Mokou, who was hiding to the side, also quickly slipped over when she saw the group.

"What's wrong?" Xia Xun asked softly, looking at Fujiwara no Mokou.

"I heard that these little fairies ran off and caused trouble while they were having class at the temple school," Fujiwara no Mokou replied quickly, her eyes falling on Sunny and the others, feeling that the fairies' pranks were incredibly audacious.

"Hehe, speaking of which, as your guardian, you'll definitely get a lecture from Keine next." Fujiwara no Mokou chuckled gloatingly and poked Natsumi, giving him a look that said, "You're doomed."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xun looked speechlessly at the group of little ones in her family. Didn't they agree this morning not to go too far with their pranks?

Luna didn't seem to be stopping Sunny at all.

However, seeing their pained little faces as they were being scolded and being lectured by Kamishirasawa Keine, Natsumi suddenly smiled.

It seems like my child has reached the age where they should be starting school.

"It's alright, I will listen carefully to Teacher Keine's teachings." Xia Xun said cheerfully, looking at the stunned Fujiwara no Mokou, "Mokou, we're going to visit a farm next, do you want to come?"

"You're not afraid of Keine nagging..." Muttering to herself, Fujiwara no Mokou glanced at the group behind Natsumi and nodded. "Alright, we're fine here anyway, and I wonder where Kaguya has gone."

One more person joined the visiting group.

The group walked across the courtyard and arrived at the area of ​​Stardew Valley Farm that is now under large-scale development.

Near the flower area, nearly an acre of flowers have already bloomed. Neat stone-paved paths divide the flower fields, and the vast green fields mixed with the fragrance of flowers are refreshing and delightful.

In the distance is the construction site of the kappa, where the framework for a chicken farm, fish pond and other facilities has been mostly completed.

Along the way, Xia Xun introduced the subsequent functions of these areas to everyone. For example, in addition to selling flowers, beehives will be built in the flower area later.

The construction and breeding plans for sites such as chicken farms, fish farms, and livestock farms, as well as large areas of trees in the planting area and the installation of harvesting devices.

As dusk settled, Xia Xun stood on the riverbank beside the farm, looking back at the land before him, and said with a smile, "How about it? This is my Stardew Valley Farm."

"That's amazing!"

Marisa Kirisame smiled enthusiastically, looking at the farm in front of her, and scratched her head with a silly grin: "If I hadn't seen your hard work with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this farm could be built in just over a month."

Fujiwara no Mokou, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement. Having lived for nearly a thousand years and seen countless people, this was the first time she had ever met someone as formidable as Natsumi.

If they had lived in the same era, Xia Xun might have become a world-renowned figure.

As she was lost in her fantasies, Fujiwara no Mokou's face suddenly darkened as she recalled the fates of the great figures of her time, all of whom had been captivated by Kaguya.

But Saigyouji Yuyuko didn't have those thoughts at all. She just glanced at Natsumi and swallowed hard.

Wow, there are so many delicious things to eat on the farm! I wish I could ask Xia Xun to let her stay here and eat there every day.

Only Tsubasa Hisako, who was watching the others chatting, looked worried. She had thought that Stardew Valley Farm had already raised its own family, but she didn't expect that it had only just begun construction.

Having seen the modern chicken farms built by the kappa, she knew all too well that it was a very efficient but also terrifying method of farming.

Now, let alone asking Xia Xun to take care of his family a little, he will soon be using this terrifying method himself.

—Author's Note—

P.S.: Never mind, I won't stay up any longer. I fell asleep in the middle of the night last night, so I'll stick to my regular sleep schedule today.

I've resumed 8,000 updates this month, but I've been slacking off for half a month.
