Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Fantasy Township

Wenwen Daily: On the road from Xianglintang to Renjianzhili, there is a restaurant where the owner Zhou Guang entertains many guests every day!

It is said that there is a ‘single dinner’ every week that can bring an amazing experience to every diner!

In this regard, Yumeiwanfumi interviewed several guests in the restaurant:

Kafka: I like the desserts here, I’ll bring some to Silver Wolf next time;

Yae Miko: The fried tofu in this restaurant is really delicious, but… I really want to know what a ‘single dinner’ is;

Ibaraki Hanaou: Please don’t walk around in the restaurant, ah! The next pudding is mine!

Ibuki Suika: Shumitsu, let’s have a drink together tonight!

Flillian: I don’t know how it came about, but I really like the atmosphere here;

Erina Nakiri: So is it my turn for the next one-on-one dinner?

Listening to Wenwen’s interview, Zhou Guang in the kitchen found the new guests a little strange, because they were:

Kagami no Kirie from Kamen Riders, Nanase Ren from Hospital Building, and Uesugi Kenshin from Lance. The last one… seems to be called Akizuki Airi? !

Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Fantasy Township
Chapter 1: Restaurant Incidents and Yamei Maru and Kobayashi Ryodan!
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 1: Restaurant Incidents and Reimu Maru and Kobayashi Ryodan!
This is Gensokyo, a realm where fantasy and reality meet, a plane where humans and monsters coexist.
And there is a restaurant halfway between the famous “Xianglin Hall” and the complicated “Renjianzhizai”.
According to Reimu Marufumi’s records, after the incident she described as the “restaurant incident” occurred, the shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine went to investigate.
Thinking that there would be big news, Reimu Yumemachi waited at the door of the restaurant, until five hours later, when he saw Hakurei’s shrine maiden, Hakurei Reimu, walking out of the restaurant.
《Shock! Five hours after the ‘restaurant incident’, the shrine maiden Hakurei, whose belly has grown bigger, claims to have solved all the problems! 》
Afterwards, the news was asked to be rectified by Reimu Hakurei, and the only original copy was left in the hands of the restaurant owner.
“It’s been three months.”
In the restaurant, the young man who was the owner, Zhou Guang, looked at the newspaper in his hand and then threw it into the drawer in front of him.
After finishing all this, Zhou Guang walked through the quiet hall and entered the locker room on the west side.
Although he is the only owner of the restaurant at present, he has a complete range of items.
After changing into the clothes he took out of the closet, Zhou Guang headed towards the kitchen.
Preparations for the restaurant start around seven in the morning.
Zhou Guang, who is used to getting up early, usually gets up at six o’clock, so he has plenty of time.
Thinking of this, he rolled up his sleeves and looked around the restaurant in front of him.
Zhou Guang is not a native of “Fantasy Township”, but a time traveler that can be found everywhere.
But his coming here can be considered as his second time traveling through time.
Without indulging in memories of the past, Zhou Guang carefully cleaned the kitchen where he had been working for many days.
“Before, Reimu’s concerns were resolved by delicious food, but now… the ‘mutation’ has always existed.”
Unlike ordinary buildings, the restaurant owned by Zhou Guang is very special.
There is no need to worry about running out of gas, electricity, and water resources.
Thanks to this, the air conditioners, refrigerators, fryers and stoves in the store can operate normally, ensuring that every guest has the ultimate experience.
Not only that, the dishes prepared in the store have certain special features besides being simply delicious.
Under this premise, Zhou Guang cured a self-proclaimed extremely intelligent ice fairy with a milkshake.
According to the little guy’s description, it seemed that he had accidentally entered a sunflower field, got lost and panicked, and eventually fell to the ground and broke his leg.
While thinking about this, Zhou Guang put down the stool on the table and placed the cup of water on the counter between the kitchen and the hall.
“We need to prepare carefully for the ‘one-on-one dinner’ every week.”
There is another “change” in Zhou Guang’s restaurant. Under his promotion, a “special cooking event” will be held on the last day of every week.
This day, Guang Zhou will select a guest individually and prepare any dish they want.
The effect of this dish will also be full of “countless possibilities”.
As for the next one…
First of all, Zhou Guang will only choose female guests.
Rather, the only male customer who has come to the store so far is the owner of Korindo, Morichika Rinnosuke.
At this moment, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came to my ears.
Zhou Guang raised his head and looked at the corridor leading to the residence on the second floor of the restaurant, and a parrot flew out from it.
It quickly landed on a steel rack near the kitchen, opened its mouth and shouted
“Wine, bring some wine!”
“You really like imitating Suika.”
Zhou Guang smiled gently, then walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
The ingredients stored inside were not caused by “mutation”, they were all purchased by Zhou Guang himself.
Most of it comes from the “Renjianzhili”, and a small part comes from gifts from guests.
Among the guests, there are both monsters from Gensokyo and customers from other worlds.
That’s right, Zhou Guang’s restaurant has a nickname, which is the ‘Restaurant of All Worlds’.
As I thought of this, I heard a commotion outside the restaurant which was not yet open.
Curious, Zhou Guang walked towards the door, intending to find out what was going on.
——————
Outside of Zhou Guang’s restaurant, there was a young girl on a small path about three hundred meters away.
She has pointed ears and black wings, and wears a hexagonal hat on her short black hair. The six white balls hanging from the hat keep shaking as she moves.
The girl, Yumemimarufumi, fiddled with her shirt and skirt to make sure she was dressed properly and took a deep breath.
She…as the most honest, diligent and truthful reporter in Gensokyo, today she will interview the restaurant owner, Shuguang, again.
“I didn’t get anything out of the last interview. This time I have to find out what’s going on with those visitors from another world!”
You have to know that Hakurei Reimu has been “bribed” by Shukou’s food, so it is impossible to investigate clearly, so Wen naturally wants to find out the truth.
“Anyway, the store is closed right now, so Mr. Zhou Guang should have some time.”
Thinking of this, Reimu Maru couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
As soon as I reached the door, I found a person lying there.
“Ibuki Suika?”
impossible……
I saw her being arrested and put in solitary confinement by Hakurei Reimu yesterday because she got drunk in Shukou’s restaurant and almost took off all her clothes…
Wen finished his thoughts and walked over.
Before starting the conversation, she took out the camera on her mobile phone and took some photos to record the situation.
Wen, who had finished all this, squatted down and asked
“Miss…are you okay?”
Hearing the shout, the other party turned around.
Reimu Marufumi now saw the other person’s appearance.
It is a young woman with long blood-red hair. Her left eye is blocked by her bangs, so her face cannot be seen clearly.
“Um… this is…”
“Here? This is the entrance to Mr. Shuguang’s restaurant. You’re rarely seen dressed like this. Are you also a ‘customer from another world’?”
“What is that…? Ugh…my stomach…”
“Stomach? What’s wrong?!”
Reimu Marufumi picked up the other person and sat in the corner outside the restaurant.
Before I could ask clearly, I heard the red-haired girl’s stomach growling.
“I’m so hungry…my stomach…I’m so hungry!”
“Ah, ah? Are you fainting from hunger?”
Reimu Marufumi looked surprised.
At this moment, the shop door was opened and a crisp bell sounded.
Reimu Marufumi looked towards the door and saw a familiar shop owner appear in his sight.
“Ah! Mr. Shuguang!”
“Isn’t this just a waste of time?”
“It’s Reiminmaru! Let’s not talk about that. This girl fell in front of the store, and…”
Coo!
The red-haired girl’s stomach made another noise.
Zhou Guang opened the door completely, then walked over to the two of them and asked the red-haired girl.
“Miss, your name is…?”
“Xiao Lin… Xiao Lin Long Dan… Is this… a place that sells food?”
“Of course, this is my restaurant, come in first.”
When he heard the name, Zhou Guang’s expression changed, and he calmly picked up the hungry Kobayashi Ryodan and entered the store.
Because of an accident, today’s Zhouguang plans to open early…

Anime: My Days of Opening a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 2: The Shock of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki! Xiaolin’s Clothes Burst and Wenwen’s Confusion! Illustrations and Text
Carrying Kobayashi Ryodan, who was exhausted due to hunger, into the store, Zhou Guang placed the girl on the sofa against the west wall.
Reimu Hōmei, who also followed him into the room, took out his camera and pressed the shutter button for the two of them.
With a click, Wen recorded everything that happened before his eyes.
Satisfied with this, Wen put away his camera and then sat skillfully on the stool in front of the counter.
And to her right, the parrot, still on the iron frame, chirped again.
“Woman! Hehehe! Woman!”
“Mr. Zhou Guang, has your parrot learned bad things recently?”
Wen stared at the parrot with a subtle expression.
Zhou Guang, who had already walked into the kitchen, smiled.
“Who knows? Because it occasionally flies to the ‘Human Village’ and wanders around, it might hear someone quarreling. So… I’m already thinking about sending it to Huiyin’s private school so that it can be influenced by knowledge.”
Before Zhou Guang finished speaking, the parrot may have understood what he meant, and quickly flapped its wings and flew towards the second floor.
Zhou Guang didn’t care about this, he opened the bottle and poured out hot water.
“What are you going to do next, Mr. Shuguang?”
“Let Miss Kobayashi fill her stomach first.”
“What about me?! I didn’t eat breakfast either!”
“You can talk about it later.”
“How could this happen…!”
Reimu Marufumi waved his fists to express his dissatisfaction, but to no avail.
Ignoring the complaints from the ‘Hong Kong reporter’ in Gensokyo, Zhou Guang poured a cup of warm water into the cup, then added two spoonfuls of honey and a slice of fresh lemon.
“Bring it to the young lady.”
Zhou Guang prepared a glass of honey lemon water and gave Reimu Maru a task.
“I’m not an employee of the store.”
“Do you want to be blacklisted by me?”
“No, no, no!”
Hearing this, Wen rushed into action.
“If you’re hungry, shouldn’t you just eat something delicious? Why do you have to drink water first?”
“The warm honey water is for quick energy, and the vitamin C provided by the lemon is enough.”
“Yeah, I don’t quite understand…”
Wen said this and walked over with the water.
Kobayashi Longdan, who was lying on the sofa, did not refuse and drank the honey water in one gulp.
The warm and sweet honey combined with the refreshing taste of a slice of lemon refreshed Kobayashi Gentian and helped him come to his senses.
She sat up and gently played with her long, smooth red hair.
After thanking Wen, Kobayashi Ryodan looked around and then looked at Zhou Guang.
“It really is a restaurant… Is there anything delicious here?”
Zhou Guang wiped his hands with a towel and asked back
“It depends on what Miss Xiaolin wants to eat. A simple egg fried rice can be prepared quickly. Other than that… there are also ingredients for today’s special dish, which will take some time.”
“No need for fried rice! I want to eat ‘special dishes’!”
“You look very energetic. If you are willing to wait, I will do it now.”
“Sure!”
After drinking a glass of honey water, Kobayashi Longdan, who felt much more energetic, nodded and decided to wait for Zhou Guang to prepare today’s “special dish”.
Since a customer had placed an order, Zhou Guang did not waste time and took action immediately.
He took out 200 grams of shrimp and eggs from the refrigerator, and then took out the Longjing tea from the cupboard.
While Zhou Guang was taking action, the curious Reimu Marufumi took out his notebook and looked at Kobayashi Ryōdan with anticipation.
“Miss, Miss, can I ask you a few questions?”
Kobayashi Longdan, who was looking at the surrounding environment, retracted his gaze and looked at Wen beside him.
“Before that, I want to ask you something.”
“Sure, this reporter will answer any questions you have! The main thing is to be truthful!”
“Then… where is this place? I just remember that I have been practicing for the past few days and have no time to eat. As a result, I came here in a daze…”
“This place is called ‘Gensokyo’, a place where monsters and humans coexist! This is the best and most straightforward explanation to outsiders.”
“Fantasy? Monster? It feels like a dream…”
Xiaolin Longdan pinched his cheek and felt pain, which proved that all this was not a dream.
After answering the question, Reimu Marufumi spoke
“What about Miss Kobayashi? Where did you come from? Your outfit is very strange.”
“What am I wearing? This is the uniform of Totsuki Academy.”
“Totsuki Academy?”
“It’s a prestigious culinary school.”
“Oh, well, when it comes to cooking, Mr. Shuguang is quite good.”
“Really? I have a place in the Totsuki Academy’s ‘Ten Greatest Students’ and I also love cooking. Maybe coming here is not accidental, but inevitable? Haha!”
Kobayashi Ryodan immediately accepted the current situation and completely relaxed.
With this as a start, the two began to chat happily.
The kitchen light is still working.
He first used kitchen paper to absorb the moisture from the shrimps he had just taken out, then added a little salt and egg white and mixed them evenly, then sprinkled a small amount of starch and marinated for 15 minutes.
On the other side, soak the Longjing tea leaves with warm water and filter out the tea soup for later use.
Once completed, start the next step immediately.
First, heat a small amount of oil in the pan, quickly stir-fry the marinated shrimps, and remove them as they change color.
Then use another pot, pour in a small amount of tea soup and shrimps, stir-fry for a few times, let the shrimps absorb the tea aroma, then serve directly on a plate.
Zhou Guang did not stop and turned to the other side.
After preheating the oven, he washed the large shrimps, trimmed their whiskers and legs, and cut them open from the back to remove the shrimp thread, but did not cut them completely.
The reason is simple. A portion of it must be kept for later plating.
After completing all the above steps, Zhou Guang lightly sprinkled salt and black pepper on the shrimp meat to season it, and put it into the preheated oven to bake for about 5 minutes to allow the shrimp to take shape.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a small pot and add chopped fresh herbs and minced garlic. Squeeze in lemon juice to make spiced butter.
“Almost.”
Zhou Guang spoke softly as he took out the shrimps that had been roasted previously, brushed them with seasoned spice butter, and put them back into the oven to continue roasting until the shrimps were cooked through and the surface turned golden.
At the same time, Kobayashi Ryodan and Reimu Marufumi, who smelled the fragrance, both set their eyes on Shuguang in the kitchen.
“What a nice smell… Mr. Zhou Guang, what are you doing?”
“Today’s special dish.”
Zhou Guang carried two meals to the dining table in the sofa area.
“Longjing shrimp with herb lemon butter baked prawns.”
“It’s quite luxurious.”
Kobayashi Ryodan looked at the delicious food and quickly picked up the chopsticks.
“I’m starting.”
After saying this politely, Xiaolin Longdan picked up a portion of shrimp and put it into his mouth.
Then…
“ah!!!”
The girl’s body trembled, and her pale cheeks were stained with a blush.
She had never had her clothes burst before and she felt that her body and mind were suddenly liberated, and the stimulation on her taste buds made her cry out.
“Hey, hey? Mr. Zhou Guang, what did you put into the dish? It looks… so, so weird!”
The knowledgeable Reimu Maru was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
Zhou Guang raised his right hand and asked the reporter to be patient.
“Don’t worry, it’s ‘set’.”
Kobayashi Rindan, whose clothes burst, received an unprecedented shock!

Chapter 3: Xiaolin Longdan’s happiness, the arrival of the star core hunter! (Old version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 3: Xiaolin Longdan’s Happiness, the Arrival of the Star Core Hunter!
Kobayashi Rindou accidentally came to a restaurant in “Gensokyo”. She accepted the restaurant owner’s invitation and wanted to fill her stomach, pay and leave, but…
Now she has other ideas.
Because as one of the ‘Ten Greatest of Totsuki’, this was the first time that I felt the definite impact of the arrival of other people’s food!
The dish served by the other party was called ‘Longjing Shrimp with Herb Lemon Butter Baked Prawns’.
The first thing Kobayashi Longdan saw was the golden and shiny prawns. They were given new life as if they had just been fished out of the bottom of the sea. They were dotted with emerald green Longjing shrimps, like a dream combination of jade and gold interwoven!
Each prawn seems like a treasure from another world, full of mystery.
Especially the thin layer of vanilla lemon butter sauce on the surface, which is as thin as a cicada’s wing but extremely rich, is unforgettable.
With his appetite increased, Kobayashi Longdan tasted the shrimps and immediately set his sights on a large prawn.
He picked one up carefully and took a gentle bite.
For an instant, the whole world seemed to stop.
At this moment, a brilliant color bloomed in front of Kobayashi Ryodan’s eyes.
She felt as if she were in a garden full of miracles.
The shrimp meat that I just put into my mouth is tender and juicy, releasing an indescribable wonderful taste in my mouth, accompanied by the unique aroma of vanilla and lemon, and the mellow taste of butter. Every bite is an ultimate tease for the taste buds.
As she chewed, the flavors jumped and danced like elves, weaving a gorgeous symphony on the tip of her tongue.
“Ah… This type of processing is not uncommon, but it is difficult to control the flavor composition accurately and well.”
Kobayashi Ryodan, who could not forget the evaluation, said with ecstasy while picking up the next shrimp.
When Reimu Marufumi, who was standing on the side, saw this scene, his saliva unconsciously flowed out.
Alas, alas, alas?
What’s going on?
The guest in front of me seemed to be under some kind of illusion, and his mood was quite unnatural!
No! It should be ‘very unusual’!
When Reimu Marufumi thought of this, his eyes fell on the food that made Kobayashi Ryodan “intoxicated”.
Just when she wanted to secretly take one to try, she was grabbed by Xiaolin Longdan.
“This is mine…!”
“Woooaa! Red-haired devil! It’s a red-haired devil!”
Although Reimu Marufumi has been working hard in Gensokyo for many years, he rarely encounters such an emotionally unstable guy.
No, it should be said that he was “a person who became strange because of the delicious food.”
“I know! I know! I won’t eat anything secretly!”
“That’s good to know.”
Kobayashi Ryōdan let go of Reimu Marufumi’s arm and continued to taste the food in front of him.
She next set her sights on the Longjing shrimp.
The moment you put them into your mouth, the soft shrimps slide gently across your throat like naughty elves, bringing you a fresh and unworldly feeling.
The unique fragrance of Longjing tea and the deliciousness of shrimps blend perfectly. Not only is it not greasy at all, but it adds a touch of elegance, making her feel as if she is strolling in a tea garden in the early morning, feeling the warmth of the first ray of sunshine.
So comfortable…
Under the impact of these, Kobayashi Ryodan’s face gradually turned red, and his eyes flashed with surprise and emotion.
She could hardly believe that such a delicious dish came from the hands of a strange owner of a strange restaurant.
“This… This is like magic.”
She whispered, her voice full of surprise and excitement.
At this moment, food is no longer just a means to satisfy hunger, but a palace for enjoying life.
Kobayashi Ryodan finished the food in front of him very quickly, and at the same time looked up at Zhou Guang.
Zhou Guang, who looked very satisfied, asked without waiting for the other party to speak.
“Want another serving?”
“certainly!”
“Coming right up.”
Before he finished speaking, Reimu Marufumi next to him also quickly raised his right hand.
“Me, me, me! Me too! I want one too.”
“Have you any money?”
“Of course! And this Miss Kobayashi may not be rich!”
“She’s different. She’s a new customer and has a discount. As for you… you have to pay more.”
“Huh?! Why!”
“Shocking! The owner of a popular restaurant in Gensokyo teamed up with Kamishirasawa Keion to create a psychedelic book” “How terrible! The night is coming! Mr. Shuguang bought a girl in the ‘Human Village'”! The former just published a cooking book and it’s very popular, and the latter just asked the store to deliver goods to the door. You just know how to make up stories.”
“There won’t be a next time!”
Reimu Marufumi leaned over the table and apologized.
Zhou Guang sighed and went to the kitchen
“It won’t happen again.”
“As expected of Boss Zhou Guang!”
Reimu Marufumi immediately raised her head and smiled.
While Zhou Guang was busy, the restaurant that opened early suddenly welcomed new visitors.
The doorbell rang and a woman entered the store.
“Ah.”
The other party looked at the restaurant in front of him and smiled slightly.
“It seems that the midnight walk of the ‘Star Core Hunter’ seems to be a little different.”
The woman’s eyes fell on Zhou Guang.
“Are you the boss here?”
“My name is Zhou Guang, Miss, you…”
“Kafka.”
Kafka, who introduced herself, chose a seat by the window.
“What’s good to eat here?”
She picked up the menu and calmly chose.

Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 4: Kafka and Croquettes, Ibuki Suika and Help! ? (Please give me flowers! Collect! Rate!) Illustrations and text
When Zhou Guang’s restaurant opened early, it welcomed three guests in total.
One is Kobayashi Ryudou from “Totsuki Gakuen”, and the other is Reimu Fumi who found her collapsed at the door.
And the third person…
While making ‘Longjing Shrimp with Herb and Lemon Butter Baked Prawns’, Zhou Guang looked at the beautiful woman Kafka sitting by the window.
She has now taken off her black cape-style coat and looks quite relaxed.
When the soft light in the store fell on Kafka, the silver butterfly brooch on her chest could be seen sparkling.
At this moment, Kafka took off her sunglasses while staring at the menu, thinking about what to order.
Zhou Guang repeated the previous cooking process, glancing at Kafka from the corner of his eye from time to time.
In fact, even if Zhou Guang didn’t hear the other party’s self-introduction, he understood Kafka’s identity.
After all, as a time traveler, it is a natural ‘setting’ to have this information.
“Not well yet?”
Kobayashi Ryodan, who couldn’t hold back any longer, asked at this moment.
She didn’t feel full at all even though she had just eaten a meal.
“It will be ready soon. Miss Kobayashi can have some water first.”
“No, I’ll wait~”
Kobayashi Ryōdan shook his body, and then began to explain to Reimu Marufumi beside him what the ‘Ten Great Masters of Totsuki’ were.
Faced with new guests he had never seen before, Wen’s journalistic nature was aroused and he kept recording relevant information.
After a while, Zhou Guang, who had improved his efficiency, brought two servings of ‘Longjing Shrimp with Herb Lemon Butter Baked Prawns’ to Kobayashi Ryodan and Reimu Marufumi.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s eat first!”
Kobayashi Ryodan immediately stopped talking and looked at the delicious food he had just eaten with anticipation.
Reimu Marufumi, who had long been attracted by the fragrance, agreed very much. After putting away his notebook, he looked at the food in front of him.
After serving the two people, Zhou Guang placed the tray on the counter and turned to Kafka and walked over.
Kafka chose a good location, able to see the scenery outside the restaurant through the window.
Since this place is located on the only way between “Kōrin-dō” and “Hinen-no-sato”, you can occasionally see humans and monsters.
You can even witness monsters fighting with spell cards.
Zhou Guang has only one request for this, which is that it should not affect his normal operations.
“Ms. Kafka, is there anything on the menu that satisfies you?”
“Well… I haven’t decided yet, but I want to know more about the ‘abnormality’ here than this.”
“Please go ahead.”
“I was resting on a ship sailing around the world with my companions. I was thinking of taking a walk after nightfall, but I found that the surroundings had changed. In the end, I ended up at the manager’s restaurant.”
“This happens all the time. Just get used to it, Miss Kafka. If you want to go back, you should be able to see the way back once you open the door.”
oh?
Kafka glanced at the gate, revealing a hint of curiosity, but her mood remained very calm.
She didn’t move, but pursed her red lips gently.
Then Kafka pointed to a dessert on the menu.
“Cream croquette, this looks good, and the picture is cute too, I want it.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard such an evaluation.”
“You mean ‘cute’?”
“Yes, Miss Kafka has a very unique vision.”
“I hope I made the right choice.”
Kafka said, putting down the menu.
Zhou Guang smiled back
“Of course it can’t be wrong.”
After saying this, Zhou Guang brought a glass of water to Kafka and walked towards the kitchen.
‘Cream Croquette’ is a delicacy that combines the flavor of Western cream with the characteristics of Japanese croquettes. Its selling point is that it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a strong milky aroma. It is one of the permanent menu items in the store.
Zhou Guang, who was already familiar with the process, prepared the ingredients.
Potatoes, onions, butter, flour, eggs, etc.
Zhou Guang was the first to process the potatoes. He washed them, peeled them, cut them into pieces, put them into a pot, added water and boiled them until they were soft. He then drained the water and mashed them into a paste.
Before that, Zhou Guang chopped the onion, added butter to a frying pan, and slowly sautéed the onion over low heat until it was transparent, then added the cooked chicken and continued to stir-fry evenly.
The next step is to make the mashed potatoes mentioned above.
When done, pour the fried onions and meat into the mashed potatoes, add the appropriate amount of butter and mix well.
“Ms. Kafka.”
“What’s wrong?”
Kafka, who was staring out the window, heard the shout, turned her head and looked at Zhou Guang in the kitchen.
“Excuse me, Miss Kafka, do you prefer light or strong taste?”
“Lighter.”
“I see.”
Zhou Guang reduced the salt and pepper used for seasoning.
The subsequent process is very simple.
Divide the seasoned mashed potatoes into several portions, flatten them into oval pancakes with your palms, and then coat them with flour, egg liquid and breadcrumbs.
After completing this step, Zhou Guang looked at the deep pot on the right.
He poured cooking oil into it, heated it, and then put the processed croquettes into the hot oil and fried them until both sides were golden brown and the inside was cooked through.
According to Zhou Guang’s experience, three to four minutes is enough.
Short, not familiar;
As time goes by, the taste becomes harder.
“Done.”
After Zhou Guang finished speaking, he scooped out the fried croquettes with a strainer and placed them on kitchen paper to absorb excess grease.
While the food was cooling, Zhou Guang prepared a salad with lettuce and ketchup to go with the croquettes.
Perhaps because she smelled the fragrance, Kafka looked towards the kitchen again.
“It seems that my choice was right.”
As Kafka murmured, Zhou Guang brought the food to her table and gently placed it.
“Cream croquettes, please enjoy them slowly, Miss Kafka.”
“It’s troublesome.”
Kafka said, and chose the knife and fork on the side as cutlery.
After cutting a piece of croquette with a table knife, Kafka heard the crispy sound and smelled the fragrant aroma.
The smell, mixed with the flavor of cream and fresh meat, increases one’s appetite.
Without thinking too much, Kafka lowered her fork and put the small pieces into her mouth.
The next moment… the crispy crust makes a pleasant sound between the teeth, like a small firework show, and then bursts into wonderful sparks on the tip of the tongue.
As she chewed, Kafka became aware of the richer taste.
Because the soft and delicate mashed potato and cream mixture inside the croquette is bursting together, stimulating the taste buds.
“Yeah~”
Kafka hummed softly, enjoying the pleasure brought by the food.
“It’s really good. No… I should say that this ordinary-looking fried pancake has an extraordinary taste.”
“As long as Miss Kafka is satisfied.”
Zhou Guang put away the tray and prepared to go back to the kitchen.
But at this moment, Kafka, who had just tasted the cream croquette and was about to add some ketchup, was suddenly pushed open, attracting her attention.
“Save me! Save me! Boss Zhou Guang!”
The girl appeared in the store.
Zhou Guang also looked over.
“You’re still as energetic as always, Suika.”
The visitor who came to Shukou’s store was named Ibuki Suika, a famous demon from Gensokyo, and also… one of Shukou’s drinking buddies.
Chapter 5: Kafka’s ‘Gold Coins’ Burst, Suika Wanted by the Red and White City Management (Seeking Flowers, Collection and Evaluation) (Old Version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 5: Kafka’s ‘Gold Coin Burst’, Suika Wanted by the Red and White City Management (Seeking Flowers, Collection and Evaluation) Illustrations and Text
Ibuki Suika has a cute appearance, petite figure, and a pair of long horns on her head that are extremely disproportionate to her body.
However, unlike her harmless appearance, Suika, as a demon, possesses terrifying power. She once said that if she wanted to, she could destroy the Monster Mountain by herself.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Reimu Hakurei does not allow her to drink too much.
However, everyone in Gensokyo knew that no matter when and where they saw Suika, they would find that she was always drinking the fine wine in the gourd.
It’s not impossible to call it a ‘small-scale mutation’…
Facing this drinking buddy, Zhou Guang recalled the days when they camped together at Youkai Mountain.
But now he has two guests to entertain, so he naturally has no time to play with Suika.
“This is not a rescue station, Suika, please don’t bother bringing it here, or I’ll be angry too.”
“It’s a hassle for me, but it’s not a problem at all in the eyes of my boss!”
“So what is the trouble you are talking about…?”
“Reimu.”
“I knew it.”
Zhou Guang smiled bitterly.
Because Suika often appeared drunk near Shukou’s restaurant, and they were not far from the “Human Village” when they met again, Reimu Hakurei asked Suika to drink less to avoid scaring the humans.
result……
Suika didn’t listen at all and continued to do as she pleased.
Just three days ago, when Zhou Guang finished his business and was closing the shop, he saw a drunk Suixiang on the tree trunk at the back door.
Back to the present, Suika came to the restaurant, looked around, and then ran to the corridor connecting to the second floor.
“If Reimu comes, just tell him I’m gone!”
Before Shukou could respond, Suika disappeared to the second floor.
Facing the resolute ghost girl, Kafka, who roams the universe, appears unusually calm.
She had already seen strange races, twisted wills, and extraordinary gods, so this unexpected event was within her expectations.
Zhou Guang sighed and turned to Kafka.
“I hope I didn’t disturb your meal, Miss Kafka.”
“It’s okay. I don’t hate this kind of excitement.”
Kafka smiled slightly and cut into the fragrant cream croquette again.
After getting the answer, Zhou Guang also walked towards the kitchen and cleaned up the kitchen utensils that had just been used.
On the other side, Kobayashi Ryodan, who was staying in the sofa area, also noticed everything that had just happened and started chatting with Reimu Fumi, who claimed to be the “Know-it-all in Gensokyo”.
Just like that, the restaurant remained peaceful for a minute…
Bang!
The door was violently opened again.
“I’m going to consider changing the door…”
Zhou Guang muttered to himself and looked towards the door.
The black-haired girl standing there was wearing a shrine maiden costume with red and white as the main colors. She was the famous “Red and White City Management Officer” Hakurei Reimu from “Gensokyo”.
After exchanging a glance with Reimu, Shukou smiled and said
“Good morning, Reimu. It’s rare that you come so early today. Don’t you usually sleep until you wake up naturally?”
“I never slept until I woke up naturally before, I just took a nap many times in a row…! Ahem, let’s not talk about this. Mr. Shuguang, good morning, have you seen that idiot drunkard Suika?”
“what happened……?”
“I’m telling you!”
Reimu Hakurei walked towards the counter unhappily and sat down on a chair.
“Originally, I caught Suika and asked her to reflect on her mistakes in the shrine’s warehouse, but guess what happened? That idiot drank up half of the wine in the warehouse! A full half!”
“Do you have a lot of wine in your warehouse?”
“There are about five boxes. Some of them were brought from somewhere by that Marisa guy. She said they were for future parties. Anyway, that idiot drunkard is responsible for it!”
It is obvious that the urban management lady is angry.
In response, Zhou Guangxian handed over a glass of honey water.
“Have something to drink first.”
“OK.”
“Calm down first.”
“I’m actually quite calm, Mr. Zhou Guang. By the way, why are you opening so early today?”
“Something.”
After hearing the answer, Hakurei Reimu looked to the left and right.
On the left is Kafka and on the right is Kobayashi Gendan.
“Guests from another world?”
“That’s right.”
“Although I won’t be in charge of these matters anymore, Mr. Zhou Guang please be careful about your safety.”
“Of course. If the other party doesn’t listen to my advice, I know a few tricks.”
“Mr. Zhou Guang’s fighting style is indeed exaggerated.”
Reimu Hakurei gave her own evaluation and then put the empty cup back.
“That stupid drunk is on the second floor, right?”
“I can’t answer that.”
One second after Zhou Guang finished saying this…
There was the sound of a parrot from upstairs.
[Stinky! Smells like alcohol! Stinky!]“You parrot! If you weren’t Boss Zhou Guang’s pet, I would have eaten you long ago!”
Hearing the noise, Reimu rushed to the second floor in two steps.
Another minute passed, accompanied by a burst of random footsteps, and Suika, carried by Reimu, reappeared with a helpless look on her face and returned to the first floor of the restaurant.
Not only that, Suika’s mouth was sealed with tape.
Although the demon clan is very powerful, Suika probably doesn’t want to continue the conflict with Reimu, so she chooses to submit.
“I’ll take her away, Mr. Zhou Guang.”
Reimu, who was holding Suika, shook the demon in her hand. It could be seen that the urban management officer’s arm strength was beyond that of an ordinary person.
“Well, take her away, and come over to eat together next time.”
“That’s provided this guy follows the rules.”
Reimu said, and left the restaurant with Suika.
But before she left, she couldn’t say a word.
“By the way, Mr. Shuguang, didn’t Mr. Kamishizawa say before that he would hold an event in ‘Human Village’? Did he invite you to join him?”
“Well, the humans in ‘Human Village’ are going to celebrate a festival, so they asked me to help manage the kitchen.”
“If you have any questions, you can come to me. Bye!”
Reimu said goodbye and disappeared at the entrance of the restaurant.
The lively commotion thus came to an end.
Zhou Guang finished cleaning the kitchen utensils and then went to ask Kobayashi Ryodan about his physical condition.
After eating and drinking, Xiaolin Longdan showed his tiger teeth and smiled heartily
“Thank you Mr. Zhou Guang for your hospitality. I have fully recovered.”
At the same time, Kafka walked to the counter to pay.
“You go and do your work first, Mr. Zhou Guang.”
Kobayashi Ryōdan expressed his desire to talk more with Reimu Maru Fumi.
Nodding, Zhou Guang walked to the counter.
“How much?”
“Each world has a different currency. Miss Kafka can just pay for the ‘meal’ as she sees fit.”
“It’s quite casual.”
“Because this restaurant is run out of interest.”
Zhou Guang simply likes this kind of life, that’s all.
Hearing the explanation, Kafka took out her wallet.
But what she took out was not a card containing credit points, but… a pile of diamonds.
Kafka placed the largest one on the counter.
“Just use it to pay the bill.”
“Such a valuable thing…”
“It’s just something I picked up when I stopped at a planet, but it still has value. Mr. Zhou Guang, just accept it.”
Kafka raised her lips and added
“If it’s too much, just consider it as your meal money for next time.”
“That’s no problem. I welcome returning customers.”
“Yes, I think Silver Wolf and Firefly will like the food here.”
After saying this quietly, Kafka waved goodbye and turned to walk towards the door.
Kafka, the ‘Star Core Hunter’ from Bengtie, was recorded by Zhou Guang on the ‘Regular Customer List’. The next time we meet, there may be a few more regular customers…

Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 6: Kobayashi Ryodan ordered takeout! Decided to share it with Erina! (Please give me flowers! Collect! Comment!) Picture and text
After Reimu Hakurei and Suika Ibuki left the restaurant, Kafka also left.
Seeing her disappear at the door, Reimu Hōrōbō, who knew the characteristics of the restaurant, ran to the counter.
“Hey, Mr. Shuguang, is that lady leaving now? I was thinking of talking to Xiaolin and talking to her about other ‘other world’ topics!”
“Miss Kafka will come again next time. Don’t worry about that. You will definitely see her when you have the chance.”
“Well… well, I should have come earlier if I had known.”
After saying this, Yumemimaru took out money from his pocket.
“Thank you for your hospitality today. I’m going to look for new news!”
“Isn’t it still early? Are you leaving now?”
“Mr. Shukou, you haven’t forgotten what Reimu mentioned just now, right? There’s an event going on in ‘Human Village’ recently, they say it’s to celebrate the harvest or something, I plan to interview the people there.”
“In that case, take this thing with you. If you see Teacher Uebaizawa, give it to her.”
Zhou Guang then took out a box of snacks from the counter below.
It is filled with soft and glutinous dumplings and snow-white rice cakes.
“Kamishirazawa Huiyin… I don’t feel like I can get along with her. Every time I see her, she lectures me.”
“Who told you to make up some fake news every day? Some of them are very strange and can easily cause misunderstandings among children. That’s why Mr. Shang Bai Ze taught you a lesson.”
“Anyway, I’ll leave it to her, boss, don’t worry!”
After saying this, Reimu Marufumi raised his right hand to salute, then picked up the box of pastries and disappeared from the restaurant.
After seeing off the decisive reporter, Kobayashi Ryodan finished his meal and helped Zhou Guang clean up the tableware and brought it to the counter.
“Boss, I got these for you.”
“No need for the guests to do it.”
“It’s okay. Boss Zhou Guang is my lifesaver. I was so hungry that I would have fainted if I hadn’t come across this restaurant.”
Kobayashi Ryodan said cheerfully.
Zhou Guang smiled in response and then put all the dishes into the sink.
Just as he was about to make up his mind, Xiaolin Longdan looked at the restaurant and asked
“Now that I’m full, I have more time to think. What kind of place is this? The lady named Reimimaru just now told me that this world is called ‘Gensokyo’ and there are monsters and humans. It’s just like in a comic book.”
“There are indeed monsters, such as the little girl with two horns on her head that you saw earlier.”
“That’s…?”
“Ibuki Suika from the demon tribe, one of the regular customers of my restaurant, a guy who likes to drink.”
After hearing the explanation, Kobayashi Ryodan nodded thoughtfully.
Then she pulled out her cell phone.
“No signal…”
“There are no ‘signal base stations’ like in modern society in ‘Fantasy Village’, but… I know a kappa who has been tinkering with these recently, and she has been nagging me to go find the owner of ‘Xianglin Hall’ to buy things.”
“Maybe like in the novel, we can bring technology to this world?”
“I don’t think technology has much use in this world.”
The battles between monsters cannot be resolved by games, but by “Spell Cards”.
Simply put, a spell card is a skill under special rules. It is a rule established to prevent humans, monsters and other races from using more force than necessary when they fight each other.
Ordinary guns and cannons are hardly useful in ‘Fantasy Town’.
“Although I still have a lot of questions, I don’t have much time…!”
“Is it class?”
“That’s right, Mr. Zhou Guang, do you want to take this away? I want the dessert on top.”
“sure.”
Zhou Guang nodded and planned to complete Xiaolin Longdan’s order first.
After Kobayashi Ryodan received the snacks, he smelled them with great satisfaction and planned to enjoy them slowly when he returned to Totsuki Academy.
“Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Zhou Guang, I will come again.”
“Well, welcome again.”
“goodbye!”
Kobayashi Ryodan said goodbye and walked towards the restaurant entrance with snacks in his hand.
She suddenly stopped halfway and turned to look at Zhou Guang
“But…how am I supposed to get back here after this?”
“If you’re willing, I think you’ll see a right path.”
“It feels very philosophical…”
Kobayashi Ryodan smiled and placed his right hand on the restaurant door handle.
What happened next was just as Zhou Guang described, the world behind the door changed.
It is no longer the lush green woods seen through the restaurant windows, but a street consisting of a concrete jungle.
“I’m really back…”
Kobayashi Ryodan looked to his right hand, still holding the snack.
It’s obviously not a dream…
For some reason my heart started beating faster.
This extraordinary experience made Kobayashi Ryodan look forward to the coming time.
Just when she returned to Totsuki Academy with joy, she was immediately stopped by the teacher.
The other party glared at Xiaolin
“Xiao Lin Long Dan! You are late today! Go to the student union office and wait for me!”
“Aren’t you going to the teacher’s office?”
“It’s being renovated today!”
Kobayashi Ryodan did not struggle and walked straight towards the student union office he had been to several times.
The entire Totsuki Academy is built on the mountain, covering a large area with a lot of height differences.
It took Kobayashi Ryodan fifteen minutes to reach his destination. When he opened the door, he found someone sitting inside.
It’s clearly class time, why are there still people here?
Kobayashi Ryodan looked over in confusion.
The sunlight outside the window slanted down and fell on the girl’s hair, which was also shining with gold.
“Erina Nakiri…”
Kobayashi Ryodan recognized the other person’s identity.
Erina Nakiri is the granddaughter of Totsuki Academy’s head coach, “Food Demon King” Nakiri Senzaemon. She also possesses a taste bud called “God’s Tongue”, and her comments can influence the future of a restaurant.
He is undoubtedly a genius in the culinary world.
But Xiaolin Longdan didn’t care.
“Excuse me.”
“You are…the third year…Senior Kobayashi?”
“That’s right~ But I didn’t expect to run into Nakiri-san here. Are you late too?”
“No, I just came here to help with some paperwork. I don’t have to go to class.”
She is worthy of being the Marshal’s granddaughter.
Thinking of this, Kobayashi Ryodan sat down on one side.
Bored, she opened the snack box that Zhou Guang made for her.
A fragrance wafted over.
“oh oh……”
Just as expected, it looked delicious.
Kobayashi Ryodan couldn’t wait to pick up a snack and put it into his mouth.
Rich flavors randomly burst onto your taste buds, giving your body a boost.
While she was enjoying it, Kobayashi Ryodan noticed the gaze coming from the side.
Erina Nakiri was staring at the box full of snacks with curiosity.
Seeing this scene, Xiaolin Longdan picked up one of them.
“Want to eat?”
Faced with Kobayashi Ryudou’s sharing, Erina Nakiri was conflicted.
Because Erina now cares a lot about the snacks in the senior’s hand!
Chapter 7: The God’s Tongue Girl’s Bursting Curiosity and Her Bursting Snacks (Old Version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 7: The God’s Tongue Girl’s Bursting Curiosity and the Snacks That Burst Out of Clothes
The snacks in front of Kobayashi Ryodan look very good.
They have different shapes and fragrant aromas.
Some are shaped like blooming flowers, some are like gorgeous ornaments, and some are like the night sky dotted with stars.
Even such a simple delicacy has a completely different style under Zhou Guang’s creation.
I have to say that I was lucky enough to arrive at that restaurant by chance!
Kobayashi Ryodan, who had already eaten one snack, came to his senses, looked at Erina who was staring at his snack box, and decided to share this delicious food.
So Kobayashi Ryodan picked one up and handed it to the other person.
“Want to try it? This is a snack made by a young boss I met today. It’s delicious.”
“…”
Erina stopped what she was doing and fell silent for a moment.
She thought for a moment, then shook her head.
“No need, Senior Xiaolin, I still have work to take care of here.”
“We can do the work later. I have a lot of snacks here now. I can’t finish them all by myself. If they are left for too long, the taste will definitely go bad. Wouldn’t that be a waste?”
Although Kobayashi Ryodan considers himself to be a big eater, he does not intend to eat alone under such circumstances.
and……
She also wanted to see what this schoolmate who was said to possess the “divine tongue” would think of these snacks.
On the other hand, Erina was already very interested, and after refusing at first, she was persuaded by Kobayashi Ryodo.
“Then… I will respectfully obey your command.”
“Nothing, good things are fun to share.”
“Thanks.”
“for you.”
Kobayashi Ryodan handed over the snack.
When Erina got it, Kobayashi Ryodan said with a smile
“After you finish eating, can you give me your comments? I’m curious about your opinion of this snack.”
Erina did not refuse.
She looked at the snack in her hand and took a bite.
“…Ah~!!!”
The next moment, Erina’s eyes flashed with surprise when she came into contact with the snacks. As her taste buds gradually felt the wonderful sensation brought by the snacks, her eyes became more passionate.
The wonderful feeling spread from the mouth to the whole body.
The stimulation was like an electric current that lifted my spirits, and my consciousness seemed to float to a garden of cream and fruit!
oh oh……?
Kobayashi Ryōdan looked at Erina who was immersed in it. The latter curled up her body slightly, and then suddenly released it!
“This dessert is different from its appearance. It is indeed not ordinary…”
Erina, with a ruddy face and a keen interest, analyzed:
“I could taste the freshly baked vanilla cream, which blended perfectly with the rose jam. The maker must have practiced for a long time to finally decide on the perfect ratio, thus achieving a delicate balance of sweet and sour.”
Erina turned to look at the snack she had taken a bite of.
“And here… the special aroma of the chocolate on top must be from the cocoa beans in South America.”
South America is one of the origins of the cocoa tree and has extremely high genetic diversity.
This also means that there are more types of cocoa beans to choose from, each with its own unique flavor characteristics and quality attributes, making it the first choice for many pastry makers.
“A little cinnamon was added later to enhance the richness of the taste. As for other aspects…it seems that some unusual fruit essences were also used, but I can’t tell which one it is…”
“Oh? Even the ‘God’s Tongue’ doesn’t know its specific ingredients?”
“That’s true… Miss Kobayashi, where did you buy it?”
Giving up the work in her hands, Erina Nakiri moved and came to Kobayashi Ryodou.
Looking at Erina’s curious face, Kobayashi Ryodan didn’t know how to answer.
I can’t tell the girl in front of me that I traveled to a world called “Gensokyo” and was treated by a restaurant owner, right?
No……
To be honest, there seems to be no problem.
“I can tell you later, but you have to keep it a secret.”
“certainly.”
When Erina heard Kobayashi Ryodo’s reminder, she agreed without thinking, and her expression looked extremely determined.
Well…
Kobayashi Ryodan pushed Erina away and told her to calm down while explaining:
“I bought it in a very special place called ‘Fantasy Township’.”
“Please don’t joke, Senior Kobayashi…”
“I’m not kidding. Mr. Zhou Guang’s restaurant is located in a forest. Occasionally, some strange customers come to visit. But that’s not the point. Mr. Zhou Guang’s cooking skills are excellent in my opinion. These snacks are made by him.”
“Zhou Guang… I’ve never heard of this name.”
“Of course, that’s ‘Fantasy Township’, ordinary people can’t go there.”
As soon as these words came out, Erina hurriedly asked
“So how are you going to take me there, Xiaolin-senpai?”
“Why are you in such a hurry? We’ll talk about the details later. Before that, I need your help.”
“I’m late, I guess I’ll be kept for a lecture.”
“It’s easy to solve.”
Erina returned to her previous position and pulled out a document.
She explained confidently
“Today, please ask Senior Xiaolin to accompany me to go shopping. We will just stop by Mr. Zhou Guang’s restaurant on the way.”
In order to find out the truth, Erina Nakiri decided to take direct action!

Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 8: Shirasawa Keiin and the ‘King’ of Gensokyo, Shu Hikaru? (Please give me flowers! Collect!) Illustrations and text
After seeing off Kobayashi Ryodan, Zhou Guang was the only one left in the restaurant.
Now that he had some free time, Zhou Guang began to think about who to choose as the guest for the ‘solo dinner’ on the last day of the week.
Once the candidate is confirmed, Zhou Guang will invite the other party to discuss where to go, the ingredients to be used, and the dishes to be made that night.
That’s right, dining doesn’t necessarily have to be done in a restaurant.
Apart from that, the most important thing is the intimate time to build closer relationships with the guests.
Zhou Guang, who was thinking about whether to invite a certain monster girl, heard a voice coming from the second floor.
“Speaking of which…”
Shuguang remembered that Ibuki Suika and Hakurei Reimu had made a fuss upstairs before, and he hadn’t gone to see what was going on.
Taking off the solid-colored apron he used for cooking for the moment, Zhou Guang came to the corridor and walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor.
Along the way, you can see traces of time, proving that the restaurant is not a new building.
However, its materials are solid, and even if it is affected by conflicts between monsters, it will generally not be damaged.
Having said that, if some troublesome monsters run near the restaurant, Zhou Guang will often teach them a lesson.
With this incident, Reimu Hōmeimaru wrote a new news item the next day.
[Bunbun Daily: Breaking news! Following the ‘Flower Field Monster’, the ‘Restaurant Monster’ appeared! According to reliable information, three monsters were beaten near that restaurant! ! ]In response to this comment, Shuguang put Reimu Marufumi on the blacklist for three days.
On the fourth day, Wen brought the wine brewed by the Tengu to find Zhou Guang and admitted his mistake.
However, Zhou Guang knew very well that the “big reporter” of Gensokyo would never stop joining in the fun and reporting news.
After ending his memories, Zhou Guang came to the bedroom on the second floor and saw the bedding in a mess.
Obviously, Ibuki Suika, who had previously run to the second floor to hide, chose the bed as her base, and was then captured by Reimu.
After a simple tidying up, Zhou Guang’s eyes fell on the balcony.
There is also a forest behind the restaurant.
The trees are dense and green.
From the backyard, it is about ten minutes away from the ‘human village’.
Perhaps because the environment is so good, goblins occasionally play in the woods.
[What to do at night? What to eat at night? ]The parrot’s voice came.
Zhou Guang turned around and saw that the parrot on the shelf was probably hungry.
However, Zhou Guang didn’t care about this.
“Eat whatever you want.”
【Really?】
“yes.”
[Cirno!? Cirno!]“Even if she gets into mischief in the backyard, don’t eat her…”
After giving the instructions, Zhou Guang heard the doorbell ringing on the first floor.
He immediately returned to the lobby where a young girl had just arrived at the restaurant.
The familiar long white hair and red eyes, as well as the dark blue pleated skirt and red bow tie at the collar.
Shu Guang, who was familiar with the other party, asked while putting on a cooking apron.
“Same old?”
“Yes, a cup of hot tea.”
“no problem.”
Zhou Guang skillfully made hot tea.
This time, I chose Longjing tea again.
Pour boiling water into the teapot, wait until the temperature drops to 80 degrees, put in the tea leaves, cover with a lid, and let it sit for a while to allow the tea leaves to fully release their inherent aroma and flavor.
A few minutes later, Zhou Guang picked up the teapot and evenly divided the tea into two small transparent teacups with graceful movements.
As the tea was poured, a fresh and elegant fragrance spread, filling the entire space.
Finally, Zhou Guang smiled and handed a cup to the girl in front of him.
“Please use it, Teacher Huiyin.”
Go to Bai Ze Hui Yin, she is a regular customer at that time.
Huiyin took the tea and took a sip.
“It’s still the same, delicious.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
“It looks like there aren’t many customers today.”
“Because we just opened a short time ago, I was surprised to see Teacher Huiyin. She usually comes in the afternoon.”
“The ‘Human Village’ was very busy preparing for a festival, and I gave the children a day off, so the morning class was just a simple assignment.”
That’s right.
Kamishizawa Keiin added
“I got the snacks that Wen brought me and shared them with the children. Everyone loved them.”
“That’s good.”
“Regarding the celebration I just mentioned, everyone at Human Village wants Mr. Shuguang to help manage the kitchen, and they asked me to ask you if you are available.”
“You should be free. Sometimes it’s okay to close the store early.”
Zhouguang’s business hours are not completely fixed.
For him, if there are more important things, the work of opening a restaurant can naturally be postponed.
“Great, I’ll be there when the time comes. Just tell me, Mr. Zhou Guang.”
“No, no, no, Teacher Huiyin, you are not the one who did it. I remember your reminder clearly.”
“Really…Mr. Zhou Guang, those things are long gone.”
Kamishizawa Huiyin complained, but her expression looked very happy.
In the past, when Zhou Guang first came to “Gensokyo”, he was targeted by Kamishizawa Huiyin.
Because “Bai Ze” will appear before a virtuous king, foretell possible disasters in the future, and give guidance to the king.
Shukou, who suddenly came to “Gensokyo”, became her main focus, and in this respect she was not much different from Reimu Hakurei.
After all, the first time I traveled through Zhou Guang, there were many people who were called “kings”.
“Maybe we can go to ‘Human Village’ tonight. If Mr. Zhou Guang is interested, we can meet on that small bridge after sunset.”
“Sure, I haven’t been to ‘Human Village’ to buy food for a long time.”
“It’s settled then.”
“kindness.”
Zhou Guang finished chatting and drank the hot tea in his hand.
The date time with Bai Ze Hui Yin was also confirmed.
Chapter 9: Nanase Ren after work and the encounter at the restaurant ~ (Old version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 9: Nanase Ren after get off work and the encounter in the restaurant ~ Picture and text
“Thank you, big sister! Let’s go!”
“Well, I hope the next time we meet, it will be in the park.”
In the corridor on the second floor of St. Julianna Hospital, at the corner of the stairs where the smell of disinfectant wafted, a young girl left with her mother who had been hospitalized previously.
After saying goodbye to the mother and daughter, the nurse Nanase Ren, who was called “big sister”, put away her smile.
She had just entered the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of St. Julianna Hospital as an intern nurse.
It is precisely because of this identity that I am very busy on weekdays and have to run around to solve various problems.
Due to the busy work, Nanase Ren, who has been single since her student days, has no time to fall in love.
But for her, these hard-earned smiles are worth it.
This is also the reason why Nanase Ren chose to become a nurse.
“Nanase.”
Hearing the shouting from behind, Nanase Ren looked back.
There stood a tall beauty.
“Director Jinguji…”
Nanase Ren recognized the other person immediately.
Shigemi Jinguji, director of the obstetrics and gynecology department at St. Julianna Hospital.
She is capable and has excellent business skills.
“Thank you for your hard work, Nanase. You haven’t had any rest since you came to the hospital this morning, right? And this situation has lasted for a week. Now I’m giving you a day off so you can have a good rest.”
“Thank you for your concern, but I can still hold on.”
“I don’t want nurses to fall ill in the hospital, even if they’re trainees, so this break is mandatory. Do you understand?”
Jinguji Narumi was quite persistent and directly turned the proposal into an order.
After hearing what the director said, Nanase Ren did not object.
She nodded and then bowed.
“Thank you for your concern, Director Jinguji. I will have a good rest.”
“Go ahead. From today on, the workload at the hospital will be much reduced.”
“Ah… I know this because a new hospital has opened in another neighborhood.”
Because of this, Jinguji Narumi was offered an offer by the hospital, but she did not accept it.
“Then I’ll leave first.”
“Well, be careful on the road.”
After saying goodbye again, Nanase Ren went to the locker room to change her clothes and left the hospital.
She had no plans to go back immediately, but instead planned to go to the newly opened hospital for a check-up.
As for what to do after this?
Nanase Ren hasn’t thought of any plan yet.
Boyfriend, no;
Good friend, we haven’t been in touch since school days.
The only fun is probably going to the park to listen to some street singers.
Nanase Ren walked towards the new hospital along the fairly familiar street.
But halfway through, she suddenly saw a gate located in an alley.
Because it was too strange, Nanase Ren couldn’t help but look at it a few more times.
How come there is a big door in the alley?
Curiosity, doubt, and an indescribable attraction made Nanase Ren walk towards the strange door.
Kamishizawa Huiyin still had to correct the remaining homework, so she left the restaurant after drinking her morning tea.
There were almost no customers for a while.
Zhou Guang, who had some free time, had gotten used to this situation.
Sometimes the restaurant is packed with customers, and sometimes the number can only be counted on one hand.
“Let’s make some cake.”
Because he was going to the “Human Village” to find Huiyin in the evening, Zhou Guang decided to make some snacks in advance.
But just as he was about to take action, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Zhou Guang looked over and saw that the guest who came to the restaurant this time was a woman around twenty years old.
At this moment, she looked confused and stared at Zhou Guang behind the counter cautiously.
“Excuse me…Excuse me, this is it…”
“It’s a restaurant that also provides morning tea, coffee, desserts, and cooked food. Everything you want is here.”
“That’s it…”
The woman was still very careful and slowly walked to the counter.
“Excuse me, what’s your name, young lady?”
“Nanase, Nanase Ren…”
“So that’s how it is… It’s from The Sick Room.”
“Infirmary?”
“Nothing much. Is Miss Nanase a nurse now? Did you meet a doctor named Hirasaka?”
“I’ve never heard of that name.”
Nanase Ren shook her head, denying the question.
Compared to this, she was more concerned about why the restaurant owner she met for the first time knew her identity.
“Why does the shop owner know my profession…”
“My name is Shu Guang, but it’s casual. As for the reason for my guess… Miss Nanase has an ID hanging on her handbag.”
“well?”
Nanase Ren looked at her small handbag, and there was indeed a nurse’s certificate hanging on it with her changing clothes.
After being reminded, Nanase Ren felt embarrassed for her carelessness and put away the nurse’s certificate with a blushing face.
“This restaurant offers all kinds of food and beverages. If there’s nothing you want on the menu, you can talk to me about other dishes.”
“OK……”
Nanase Ren took the menu handed to her by Shu Guang, glanced at it briefly, and pointed to a dish on it.
“Excuse me…is this still available?”
“Of course.”
Zhou Guang said this affirmatively, and then smiled.
“Assorted vegetable soup, serve it to Miss Nanase right away.”

Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 10: Love Being Flirted With, Secretly Filmed Article (Please Give Flowers! Please Collect!) Illustrations and Text
Zhou Guang is very good at judging people.
Whenever a new customer comes to the restaurant, he will analyze it immediately.
After the other party places an order, Zhou Guang will adjust some details during the cooking process.
The richness of the flavor, the amount of spices used, the specific choice of ingredients, etc., each decision will affect the deliciousness of the final product.
And now, Shukou noticed that Nanase Ren was in low spirits, so he decided to do something.
In addition to the olive oil, onions, carrots, potatoes and other ingredients needed for the “mixed vegetable soup”, Zhou Guang also took out a few pieces of fresh ginger.
“There’s no signal…”
After arriving at the store and placing an order, Nanase Ren took out her cell phone, only to find that it could not connect to the Internet.
“There is indeed no signal here.”
“It’s quite strange to have a well-equipped restaurant in a place where there is no signal.”
“Ms. Nanase may need some time to get used to it.”
“Yes.”
Nanase Ren put away her phone and looked outside the restaurant.
Through the window, I saw the endless lush green woods, not the city alleys I passed through when I came here.
Strangely, faced with such a strange scene, Nanase Ren did not feel uneasy.
Maybe it’s because of the atmosphere in the store?
Quiet, peaceful, with a reassuring smell.
Nanase Ren just picked up the menu again and planned to take a look at other dishes.
“I commissioned Wen to take photos of the dishes on the menu. Although she is a reporter who likes to stir up trouble, her photography skills are fine.”
“So… the photographer named Wen should have his own opinion, right? Some of the ingredients on the menu don’t seem to be in the restaurant.”
“That’s right, some of them I made in other kitchens.”
For example, at the party hosted by Reimu;
For example, in the activities of ‘Human Village’;
Another example is the delicious food made while camping in the Monster Mountain.
After answering, Zhou Guang began to focus on the food in front of him.
The ‘Assorted Vegetable Soup’ that Nanase Ren ordered is a very healthy and delicious dish, and the types of vegetables used can be flexibly adjusted according to personal taste and seasonal changes.
It is not only delicious but also nutritious and suitable for customers of all ages.
Zhou Guang knew the recipe by heart and began to clean the vegetables in front of him, carefully peeling, removing the seeds, and cutting them into appropriate sizes.
The next steps are also simple.
Start by sautéing the onion and garlic in olive oil, then add the harder vegetables, like carrots and potatoes, which take longer to cook.
Then pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer.
Once the soup starts to boil, add the remaining vegetables.
The final step is to season it according to the customer’s requirements.
This time, Zhou Guang added the ginger that he had prepared earlier to add a touch of warmth and spicy flavor to the soup.
After completing the production, Shu Guang brought it to Nanase Ren.
The steam of the soup floated into the air. Nanase Ren, who had been waiting for a long time, completely forgot about the abnormal situation because of the delicious food in front of her and slowly picked up the spoon.
“It looks delicious.”
“Please try it, Miss Nanase.”
Nanase Ren began to taste the mouth-watering ‘Assorted Vegetable Soup’.
During this time, Shuguang took a quick look at Nanase Ren.
She was originally the heroine of “Night Q Hospital”, but according to her previous answers, she did not know the devilish Ryuji Hirasaka.
From this we can see that Nanase Ren’s experience is very different from the original plot.
“call……”
Zhou Guang’s thoughts were interrupted by a light call.
Nanase Ren, with a satisfied look on her face, took a sip of the hot soup and felt all the tiredness in her body disappear.
“I feel like I just woke up from a long hibernation…!”
Stimulated by the rich taste of the vegetables and the strong aroma of the soup, Nanase Ren’s face became much redder than before.
“As long as Miss Nanase likes it, you looked tired when you came into the room just now, which was worrying.”
“Did Mr. Zhou Guang notice it? I’m so sorry…”
Nanase Ren stopped the spoon in her hand.
Zhou Guang couldn’t help but ask
“Are you in trouble?”
“No.”
Nanase Ren shook her head and took another sip of soup.
“It’s just a work problem… As you said before, I’m a nurse. I’m still in the internship period, so I work very hard, but… sometimes I feel very tired.”
“At this time, just sit down and take a break. I think Miss Nanase’s efforts are absolutely valuable.”
“Really? I’m a little worried that such efforts will be in vain…”
“Efforts are never in vain, they just change the way people become better than before.”
“It would be nice if that’s the case… It’s strange that I would actually talk about this with Mr. Zhou Guang, whom I met for the first time. Maybe… it’s because of the soup?”
Turning her eyes to the hot soup in front of her, Nanase Ren took another sip with a happy look on her face.
Shuguang did not disturb Nanase in front of him and stared at her quietly.
After finishing the drink, Nanase Ren saw the tissue handed to her.
“Thanks……”
“No, Miss Nanase’s arrival in the store has also brought some changes to me.”
“I just ordered a dish.”
“That’s enough.”
Zhou Guang responded with a gentle smile.
thump!
Nanase Ren’s heart skipped a beat for some reason.
“Ms. Nanase, there’s still a little soup stain at the corner of your mouth.”
“ah……”
Shumitsu wiped off the soup stains from the corners of Nanase’s mouth instead.
Her left cheek felt the warmth of the other person’s palm, and Zhou Guang did not pull back his hand.
Pure Nanase, the uncontaminated angel nurse, perhaps this is an opportunity.
Shuguang gently stroked Nanase’s cheek, which was getting hotter and hotter, thinking intentionally or unintentionally.
Right now…
Out of the corner of his eye he saw a figure outside the window.
Zhou Guang withdrew his right hand and sighed softly.
“Ms. Nanase, I need to solve a problem. You can sit for a while.”
“Ah? Ah… OK.”
Nanase came back to her senses, lowered her head and responded softly.
Zhou Guang came outside the restaurant and shouted at the woods ahead.
“Wen, if you don’t come out and delete the photo you just took, you won’t be able to erase your name from my blacklist.”
“Wait! Wait! I’m out! Don’t put me on the blacklist!”
The figure that Shuguang had just seen, Reimu Marufumi, jumped out of the bushes, brushing off the weeds on his body and begging for mercy.
Different from the romance that was flirted with in the restaurant, the secretly filmed romance is a real “trouble”.
Chapter 11: The World of the Human World, the Moon Shining in the Heart, the Sound of Love and Wisdom (Part 1) [500 Flowers and More] (Old Version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 11: The Village of the Human World, the Moon Shining in the Heart, Love and Wisdom (Part 1) [500 Flowers and More] Illustrations
On the side of the woodland between “Human Village” and “Kourin-do”, Gensokyo’s main character, the real reporter, Yumemaru Fumi, made a perfect appearance.
His posture was so standard that Zhou Guang had to suspect that this guy had gone to a certain place for further study…
Looking at Reimu Marufumi begging for mercy, even though he knew that the Tengu girl in front of him was not smart enough to “learn from her mistakes”, he still forgave her.
“Get up, Wen. All I ask is that you delete the photos you just took.”
“No problem, no problem, whatever Boss Zhouguang says is what happens.”
“Let me take a look before that.”
“oh oh.”
Reimu Marufumi stood up, took out her camera and opened the photo gallery.
There are many photos stored in it.
The moment when some stupid goblin froze a frog;
A moment when a rabbit is stealing carrots in a bamboo forest;
We even captured the dancing of the shrine maidens at Moriya Shrine.
“You really go everywhere…”
“Of course, I don’t want to miss any news about Gensokyo. Oh, yes, Mr. Zhou Guang, look at this, it was taken just now.”
The photo was switched again.
The viewpoint was outside the restaurant window, and Reimu Marufumi recorded the scene of Shumitsu gently caressing Nanase Ren’s cheek through the camera.
“It’s a nice shot.”
“Hey, this is the experience I have accumulated over the years!”
“Then don’t delete it yet. Help me clean it out when the time comes. It might come in handy.”
“Is that so… All right.”
“If it spreads in advance, you know the consequences, right?”
Zhou Guang smiled and looked at the Tengu girl tenderly.
Although the attitude was so kind, Wen swallowed his saliva and felt deeply the oppression from the restaurant owner.
There is only one answer to this article – nod repeatedly and promise that it will not be made public without permission.
After solving the problem, Zhou Guang took a look at the sky.
As the sun sets, its afterglow shines on the somewhat quiet sea of ​​trees, dyeing the emerald green branches and bushes red.
In fact, before Nanase Ren came, Shuguang planned to close the store and take a break in an hour.
Now it’s almost time…
“arts.”
“The little one is here.”
“Your answer… Never mind. I have something to ask of you. Once you’ve done it, I’ll waive your dinner fee next time.”
“Just tell me!”
Wen agreed immediately.
Zhou Guang then took out a note from his pocket.
“Give this note to the person it says on.”
“Excuse me, what is this…”
“The commission I gave to those people.”
“clear.”
Wen didn’t ask any more questions. After taking the note, he followed Zhou Guang’s instructions and went to find the entrusted parties.
The direction of the text is the somewhat famous Mist Lake in “Gensokyo”.
After watching Wen leave, Zhou Guang returned to the restaurant.
Nanase Ren, who had been a little absent-minded before, came back to her senses.
She patted her cheeks gently, took a deep breath, and looked at Zhou Guang who had reappeared in her sight.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, what happened outside…?”
“Don’t worry, it’s just a small problem. It’s been solved.”
“I see… I just looked at the menu and found that there are no prices on it. How can I pay?”
“Just pay what you think is a fair price.”
This answer made Nanase Ren difficult to understand.
If a customer only gives one dollar, wouldn’t it be like giving the other person such delicious food for free…
However, after seeing Shuguang’s calm face and recalling the hot soup just now, Nanase Ren finally understood.
How could I forget such a dish?
In order to come back next time, diners will definitely be willing to pay a good reward.
The same is true for Nanase Ren.
After drinking a bowl of hot soup, the accumulated fatigue seemed to be swept away and I felt much more energetic.
So she took out a 10,000 yen note.
“I don’t know if it will be of any use here…”
“This is a lot of money.”
“I think this is what Mr. Shuguang deserves, but… does the Japanese yen also circulate in this world?”
“Don’t worry, any currency can be circulated. Even if it is not circulated, just go to Xianglin Hall to exchange it for something.”
Zhou Guang often used the money paid by customers to exchange things at “Xianglintang”.
The shop owner there, Morichika Rinnosuke, did not object to it; rather, he was very happy about it.
It can be seen that Morichika Rinnosuke likes to collect items brought out by customers from the other world.
“That’s good……”
Without worrying about this issue, Nanase Ren put away her wallet and stood up.
“Sorry to bother you today, Mr. Zhou Guang.”
“No, I’m very welcome Miss Nanase, and I hope to come again next time.”
“OK!”
Nanase Ren raised her voice.
Perhaps noticing this, she quickly lowered her head and calmed herself down.
“I’ll take my leave now, Mr. Zhou Guang.”
“Well, I’m also going to close early today. Miss Nanase, as long as you want to go back, you can open the door of the restaurant and you will see the way you came.”
“It’s quite magical.”
“This ‘adventure’ is the fate between us. It’s okay to have a bit of fantasy.”
“That’s right.”
Nanase Ren laughed.
Then he stood up and walked towards the door.
When the doorbell rang, Nanase Ren’s figure disappeared at the entrance of the restaurant.
“call.”
Zhou Guang let out a breath and confirmed the time again, intending to close the business early.
“It’s time to find Huiyin…”
Zhou Guang took off his apron and started to clean up the dishes in the kitchen.
After that, we will go to the Human Village to meet up with Kamishizawa Huiyin and enjoy the rest of the time…

Chapter 12: The World of the Human World, the Moon Shining in the Heart, the Sound of Love and Wisdom (Part 2) [50 reviews plus more] (Old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 12: The Village of the Human World, the Moon Shining in the Heart, Love Wisdom Hibiki (Part 2) [50 reviews plus more] Pictures and text
The ‘Human Village’ is very lively tonight.
From the grocery store with paper windmills hanging on it to the shrine approach with colorful silk fluttering in the wind, every street is decorated with goldfish flags and red lanterns in different styles.
A newly cast bronze wind chime hangs in front of a blacksmith’s shop, which is now ringing gently in the wind;
The gentian flowers drying in front of the drug store were almost blown away, forcing the owner to pick them up.
Zhou Guang, who saw all this, stood at the west entrance of “Human Village”.
There is a bridge across the stream here, which is hung with ribbons by naughty children at this moment, and is still quite conspicuous in the street scene at night.
Zhou Guang waited for Huiyin’s arrival, while thinking about what to do next.
Before I could come to a conclusion, I saw Kamishizawa Keiin appearing from the colors with her back to the street lights and shadows.
She was wearing a dark blue pleated skirt with a white short-sleeved shirt. The moment she saw Zhou Guang, she waved and greeted him.
“Sorry for the wait, Mr. Zhou Guang.”
“I just arrived. Miss Huiyin arrived just in time.”
“Then let’s go. I want to go to the private school first.”
Zhou Guang and Hui Yin walked side by side and entered the bustling streets of “Human Village”.
The roads along the way were paved with uniform bluestone slabs, and on both sides came the aroma of various delicacies, among which the aroma of maltose was the most intense.
However, the two did not stop to buy, but went straight to the private school.
Although Huiyin did not have any classes, the private school was brightly lit as if it were daytime.
“The children said, ‘Since we’re going to have a celebration, why not decorate the private school?’ Without waiting for my consent, they took action.”
“It’s a good thing to be able to take action.”
“That’s right, but I’m going to check it out to make sure there’s nothing wrong.”
Zhou Guang nodded and followed Huiyin around the private school.
The only problem the two found was that the lantern hanging at the door was a little crooked.
So Shangbai Ze Huiyin stood on tiptoe and tidied up the lanterns that were not hung up, while straightening the fluttering tassels.
“It’s more symmetrical this way.”
Ueshirazawa Huiyin took a half step back to look at her masterpiece.
At this time, the sound of playfulness was heard.
The children who ran out from the street on the right saw Huiyin and launched an “attack” towards her.
“It’s Teacher Huiyin!”
“Teacher Huiyin is here!”
The children were very enthusiastic and rushed towards Huiyin.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Guang subconsciously put his arms around Huiyin’s waist to steady her body and prevent her from being knocked down by the children.
“Don’t mess around.”
Huiyin touched the children’s heads and thanked Zhouguang with her eyes.
After the little commotion was over, Huiyin’s students also talked to Zhouguang about the delicious snacks they had before, and said that they would definitely bring their parents to his restaurant next time.
Zhou Guang was very welcoming and responded by saying “I’ll give them a discount later.”
He didn’t mind the restaurant having more customers.
Monsters, humans, and people from other worlds, as long as they don’t cause trouble, there will be no problem.
After saying this, Huiyin’s students prepared to leave together.
Because they were planning to participate in a group activity next, they didn’t let Huiyin play with them.
This is not a bad thing for Zhou Guang.
“Be careful!”
Huiyin, who had reminded the students, waved goodbye until the little ones disappeared into the alleyway bathed in street lights.
“Ms. Huiyin, let’s go for a walk too.”
“I saw a shop when I came here just now, and I want to go take a look.”
Zhou Guang smiled back and accompanied Huiyin to a dumpling shop.
They ordered two skewers and started to taste them.
When Huiyin bit into the white jade dumpling, soybean powder stained the tip of her nose, but she didn’t feel anything. Instead, she carefully compared which one was better for glutinous rice, candied cherry blossoms or black sugar molasses.
“If Mr. Zhou Guang were to do it, what would he choose?”
“It should be blackstrap molasses.”
After saying this, Zhou Guang took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the soybean powder off Huiyin’s nose.
“Ah… My apologies, Mr. Shuguang.”
“Ms. Huiyin also has a careless side.”
“Because I remembered the snacks Mr. Zhou Guang sent me before.”
Huiyin then ate the remaining dumplings.
The two quickly left the stall and continued walking in the bustling ‘Human Village’.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Guang brought Huiyin to the stream bridge where they had met before.
At this time, river lanterns drifted down from upstream, like stars falling from the starry sky and swaying gently on the water.
“I came back here without realizing it…”
Huiyin sighed softly.
Hearing this, Zhou Guang pretended to straighten his sleeves and looked towards the maple forest not far away.
Under the three old trees, a faint lacquer-colored reflection could be seen in the forest illuminated by moonlight and street lights.
The next moment——
The double bass was plucked first, startling the birds on the green branches.
“Huh?” Huiyin was a little surprised and looked at the woods ahead. “Music?”
Zhou Guang also looked over
“I invited them over.”
Along with the deep tone of the violin, the melody of the trumpet sounded, like a dragonfly skimming over the water, melodious and light.
Soon the sound of keyboards came.
The evening breeze just happened to pick up the fallen leaves in the trees, and they flew up from the ground like dancing, seeming to merge with the notes.
“Is it Lunasa and the others? Mr. Shuguang.”
Prism Liba is a band composed of three sisters.
Fiddler – Lunasa Prismriba;
Trumpeter – Melulan Prizimriba;
Keyboardist: Lilica Prismriba.
On Zhou Guang’s request, the three of them played a piece of music in the forest.
Listening to the melody, Huiyin tapped the wooden railing with her fingertips.
In an instant, the rhythm changed.
The three sisters’ ensemble is becoming more lively, with Melulan’s trumpet beating the rhythm and Lilica’s keyboard turning into the laughter of children chasing each other.
Zhou Guang came to Huiyin.
“It’s a rare break, so you can enjoy it.”
“The melody feels familiar, like it’s a song that everyone in ‘Human Village’ often plays.”
Huiyin listened to the performance of the three sisters in the forest, closed her eyes and began to enjoy it.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Guang raised his left hand and put his arm around Huiyin’s shoulders.
The melody continues;
The night is not over.
The silvery moonlight now shines through the gaps in the bridge railings, casting a flowing silhouette on the water.
Among these shadows, there are two people close to each other.
The warmth of lips and the sound of melody.
The night… is still long.
Chapter 13 Anxious Erina! The Wet ‘God’s Tongue’! (Please add flowers, collect and comment) (Old version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 13: Anxious Erina! The Wet Tongue of God! (Please add flowers, collect and comment) Picture and text
On the other hand, the world of “Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma”——
After Kobayashi Ryodan shared the pastries with Nakiri Erina, after eating one, Erina was unable to analyze all the ingredients in the pastries, so she decided to find out what was inside.
The method is very simple, just go to a restaurant that sells dim sum and ask!
Just like that, after school, the anxious Erina took Kobayashi Ryodan away in the name of “helping with shopping”, who would have been scolded by the teacher.
Although he was grateful to the schoolgirl for saving him from being lectured, Kobayashi Ryodan didn’t understand why she was so anxious.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Zhou Guang told me that as long as I want to go, I will see the door. It will not disappear.”
“It sounds like a mystery. I need to find out the truth, whether it’s the restaurant or the dim sum.”
After listening to Kobayashi Ryodan’s explanation, Erina didn’t quite believe the experience of the senior in front of her, thinking that she didn’t want her to know the source of the snacks.
Kobayashi Ryodan naturally had to provide proof of this.
The two girls soon arrived at the designated location: an empty alley in a residential area.
And deep inside it, there is indeed a door.
Erina walked over with curiosity.
After taking a look around, he walked around to the back of the gate.
There is nothing there…
“Xiaolin-senpai, please tell me…are you kidding me?”
“No, you can enter the restaurant as long as you open the door, so…ah?!”
Xiaolin Longdan arrived at the door and found a sign saying “Closed”.
I turned the door handle hoping for a lucky break, but of course there was no response.
The door is definitely not open…
It’s only been dark for a short while, why is it closed?
Kobayashi Ryodan looked to his side and saw Erina Nakiri with a suspicious look on her face.
“Senior Kobayashi, even if it has a sign saying ‘Open for Business’, I don’t think there is a portal in our world…”
“I’m not lying, I’ve been here before; now that it’s closed, let’s come back tomorrow.”
“This is so suspicious… Those snacks should have been purchased from a popular store, right? They can’t have come from the restaurant behind this strange door.”
“If you don’t believe it, you will have the answer tomorrow. I guarantee that it will surprise you.”
Kobayashi Ryodan made his promise solemnly, showing no sign of guilt.
At this point, Erina Nakiri didn’t know what to say…
She still remembers the snacks she tasted.
Amazingly delicious, unique ingredients, and an aroma that is impossible to analyze.
Because she was too concerned, Erina felt like ants were crawling all over her body.
However, the restaurant door could not be opened at the moment, so we had to wait until tomorrow.
With no other options, Erina turned and left the alley.
“Senior Xiaolin, won’t this door be discovered by others?”
“I’m not sure about that. I just remember Boss Zhou Guang said that the restaurant’s door might not be open to everyone.”
“Before entering that restaurant, Kobayashi-san’s answer seemed like something out of a novel to me.”
“So I’ll prove it then.”
Kobayashi Rindan gave another affirmative answer.
The two also made an agreement to meet again tomorrow.
The next day.
The first thing Erina did when she woke up was to take out her cell phone and call Kobayashi Ryodo.
The two sides exchanged mobile phone numbers yesterday to facilitate contact with each other.
I called five times in a row, but no one answered.
“Are you still sleeping in…?”
Erina said resentfully.
She didn’t intend to wait any longer, so she changed her clothes immediately and walked towards the alley she had walked into yesterday.
The neighborhood was not far from Totsuki Academy, and Erina, who had the authority, could enter and exit freely, so it only took less than twenty minutes.
Boom!
As soon as I arrived at the scene, a loud thunder sounded above my head.
The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
The rumbling thunder exploded again after a flash of lightning.
Crash——!
The big raindrops fell almost without warning.
The crackling sound of the rain was like rhythmless drumbeats, hitting the eaves, the streets, and the girl’s body.
Erina, who did not prepare an umbrella, was instantly soaked by the sudden rainstorm.
She tugged at the hem of her skirt, adjusted her wet shirt that was clinging to her body, and walked quickly towards the door in front of her.
“Open for business…”
Erina noticed that yesterday’s ‘closed’ had become ‘open’.
She stretched out her right hand doubtfully, grasped the door handle and turned it gently.
Click.
It’s open!
Opposite is not an extended street, but a restaurant hall with soft lighting and a warm atmosphere.
“Welcome.”
A gentle voice reached her ears, and Erina looked forward.
There was a young man wearing an apron standing by the counter.
“So it’s… true?”
“New guest, young lady, is it raining in your world? Please come in first, I will prepare clothes for you.”
“Are you the boss here?”
“Yes, my name is Zhou Guang, and the lady is…?”
“Erina Nakiri.”
Erina gave her name straightforwardly.
She noticed that Zhou Guang’s expression didn’t change much.
As a famous name in the culinary world, it is impossible that chefs have not heard of ‘Nakiri’.
So…
Maybe this really is a different world?
“That… A-choo!”
Erina, who had caught a cold, sneezed.
Seeing this, Zhou Guang said again
“Please follow me. There is a bathroom on the second floor. I will prepare clothes for Miss Nakiri.”
“Oh? But…”
“Your health is everything, so enjoy the food later.”
After hearing this proposal, Erina finally agreed.
She planned to explore the restaurant and get to know the young man in front of her better.
Chapter 14: Shuko shows off his skills, and Erina learns what a genius chef is! (Old version)
Kamishizawa Huiyin is a gentle person.
Although he is a bit stubborn on weekdays, he does not have any malicious intentions.
However, if a student fails to complete his homework, he will often be punished by her.
A few days ago, Zhou Guang saw a student who had been hit on the head go to a restaurant to buy snacks. He said he bought them and ate them while copying textbooks…
Zhou Guang supports everything Huiyin does.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the two have a good relationship.
Huiyin’s private school occasionally received snacks provided by Zhouguang;
Zhou Guang became closer to Huiyin.
The same thing happened last night.
Now Zhou Guang, who had left the guest room on the second floor of the private school, stretched lazily.
He got up early and originally wanted to invite Huiyin, who shared the same bed with him, to have breakfast in a restaurant, but when he opened his eyes, he found that she had already left.
On the cabinet on one side, there was a letter with the words “handling teaching materials” written on it.
Zhou Guang, who was looking forward to meeting Huiyin next time, admired Huiyin’s hard work and then walked straight towards his restaurant.
Familiar processes and familiar operations.
There is also the familiar sound of parrots.
【I didn’t come back at night! I didn’t come back at night! 】
“Go to the second floor for some snacks. They’re in the cabinet.”
【Eat snacks in the morning! Eat snacks in the morning! 】
The parrot cried loudly and flew back to the second floor.
After chasing away the noisy guy, Zhou Guang turned on the necessary appliances in the kitchen.
Preheat the oven, tumble dry the dough, and check if you have enough ingredients with the help of the menu.
Zhou Guang, who had completed all preparations, soon heard the bell that signaled the arrival of guests.
This time, a soaking wet blonde girl appeared at the door.
Erina Nakiri, Shukou recognized her identity at the first moment.
Even though they knew each other, Zhou Guang still followed the procedure and greeted him.
After a brief exchange, Shukou asked Erina to go to the second floor to take a shower and change her wet clothes.
He didn’t want his guests to catch a cold.
Erina Nakiri was straightforward and did not refuse. She followed Shukou to the second floor.
“I’ll go fill the bathtub with hot water. Ms. Nakiri, please wipe yourself with a towel first.”
“No, if I really caught a cold and couldn’t taste anything, it would be a problem for me as a chef.”
Smiling, Zhou Guang went to the bathroom and filled it with hot water.
“I’ll leave the clothes in the bathroom, they’re all clean.”
“Why is Mr. Zhou Guang so well prepared…?”
“Because occasionally there are a few guests who need my care.”
Especially the monsters that often break out into conflicts.
Many of them would go to the restaurant to rest and eat.
Erina didn’t know the specific reason, and walked towards the bathroom with some doubts.
Seeing the girl enter the bathroom, Zhou Guang asked outside the door
“Is there anything you want to eat? I can make something hot.”
“Has there been a man named Kobayashi Ryodan here before? Mr. Zhou Guang should remember him, right?”
“She bought some snacks here and shared them with me. They tasted delicious, so…”
“What did you want to say, Ms. Nakiri?”
“I hope that after I come out, Mr. Zhou Guang will be cooking. I want to see it.”
Zhou Guang did not refuse.
The cooking process is not a secret, and it is quite fun to cook while someone is watching you.
—————
Shuguang waited in the kitchen for a while, and Erina took a quick shower, changed into a set of light clothes and went to the hall.
The design of this dress is similar to the yukata worn at a hotel, but it is more casual overall and can be worn by anyone.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, thank you for letting me use the bathroom on the second floor.”
“No, do you want anything to eat?”
“Mr. Zhou Guang, can you recommend some?”
Erina Nakiri sat on a chair next to the counter, intending to listen to Shumitsu’s advice.
“How about a bowl of hot porridge? I just got caught in the rain and took a shower, so I can warm myself up.”
“It’s a very simple dish… Please make it, Mr. Shuguang, thank you for your help.”
Next, let’s show off our skills.
Thinking this in his mind, Zhou Guang turned to the kitchen which was fully equipped with cooking utensils.
Zhou Guang took out three willow-bladed knives of different curvatures from the drawer on the right, and then took out a clay pot to cook porridge.
The next step is to wash the raw rice.
Zhou Guang began to rinse the bamboo sieve filled with rice with cold water, stirring it at a rhythm of one hundred times per minute, and at the same time rubbing the starch film on the surface of each grain of rice with his fingertips.
When the sound of the rice grains colliding changed from muffled to crisp, Zhou Guang shook his wrist lightly, and after the water was removed, the rice grains, which had distinct grains, were poured into the casserole by Zhou Guang.
After completing this step, Zhou Guang cut the young ginger on the other side into slices as thin as cicada wings, and then stacked them into sixteen layers of fine slices. When they fell into clean water, you could see that each strand was as clear as golden threads.
Erina watched Shuguang cooking and admired the chef’s knife skills.
But Zhou Guang did not stop. He took out the crab legs of the snow crab and disassembled them all. The transparent crab meat was placed on ice for later use.
“Cooking porridge in a clay pot must taste great.”
“Yes, I have made it several times. Casserole is the best for cooking.”
Shukou agreed with Erina and placed the casserole on the charcoal stove.
Not long after, the fragrance was released.
“Wait for the Maillard reaction to occur and stir slowly.”
After Zhou Guang finished speaking, at the moment when the rice grains took on a satin luster, he slid the crab leg meat from its frozen state directly into the porridge pot. The sudden change of temperature caused the muscle fibers to contract instantly, locking in the freshness and sweetness.
In this way, the delicious rice porridge is ready.
After watching the whole process, Erina had only one comment in her mind: “perfect and rigorous.”
The cooking is not complicated, but Zhou Guang has grasped all the key points.
That’s why the desserts he made are so delicious.
This cooking technique is undoubtedly excellent!
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!

Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 15 ‘The Divine Tongue’ Girl and the Pointy-Headed Magician (Please give me flowers! Please add me to your collection)
Erina Nakiri arrived at the restaurant.
She encountered heavy rain on the way and was soaked all over. After taking a shower, she went to the counter and watched Zhou Guang prepare the dishes.
Undoubted technology;
Undoubtedly excellent.
But this does not mean that the food is 100% delicious.
So Erina picked up the spoon and prepared to taste it.
Before that, Erina couldn’t help but ask
“Mr. Zhou Guang has studied a lot of cooking books in the past, right?”
“Why do you ask?”
“You mentioned the Maillard reaction just now. I think most chefs don’t pay too much attention to it and control the temperature perfectly when cooking.”
The so-called “Maillard reaction” is actually a series of complex reactions between reducing sugars (such as carbohydrates) in food and amino acids or proteins at room temperature or when heated, which eventually produce brown or even black macromolecules called melanoidins.
It can give food a unique color and flavor.
For example, fried sugar coloring, frying French fries, and baking bread are all the result of the Maillard reaction.
The same applies to heating rice porridge.
However, if the heat is not controlled properly, the rice may easily become uncooked or too sticky.
“I just like reading cookbooks. I haven’t done any special research. I’m more into practice.”
“I see……”
Is this because of talent?
Erina Nakiri didn’t think much about it and focused on the snow-white rice porridge mixed with crab meat in front of her.
When she picked up the silver spoon and scooped up half a spoonful of rice porridge, an even stronger aroma came to her face, making her unable to help but put it into her mouth.
The world seemed to have changed in an instant!
The ginger shreds now turned into burning maple leaves, spreading an autumn path on Erina’s tongue.
Every hint of spiciness is like the pillars of a vermilion torii gate. The burning sensation spreads along the tongue coating into three thousand stone steps, and syrup seeps out from the cracks of these stone steps – that is the gentle taste neutralized by the mellowness of rice porridge.
After taking another bite, the delicious crab leg meat broke into twelve rays of light between Erina’s teeth, continuously falling from the sky.
The translucent fibers mixed in it turned into silver threads, carrying the coolness of the night breeze and shuttling through the burning torrent of taste.
When the thickest texture is bitten off, the marine flavor of the crab meat is sublimated under the wrapping of rice fat, and together with the rice grains, it plays an unforgettable symphony.
“tasty……”
Erina ate anxiously. In order to hide her embarrassment, she had to cover the corner of her mouth with her left hand, and cherry blossom-colored breath leaked out from between her fingers.
“The temperature of this porridge is perfectly controlled, the shredded ginger seasoning greatly enhances its taste, and the crab meat fibers are not destroyed…”
Erina’s cheeks flushed and her breathing became a little rapid. She felt a warm current running through her body.
“Mr. Zhou Guang’s craftsmanship is amazing…”
The ‘God’s Tongue’, who was always proud of himself towards outsiders, did not hesitate to give praises at this moment.
Simple yet complex;
Delicious and extraordinary.
This is what Erina said about this bowl of rice porridge.
“Just like it. There’s still a lot left in the pot. You can enjoy it slowly.”
“It seems that the snack that Senior Xiaolin shared with me before was made by Mr. Zhou Guang.”
“Those desserts used a lot of ingredients.”
“Yes, that’s it. I couldn’t taste some of the ingredients at all.”
Erina stopped what she was doing, her face full of curiosity.
Erina, who has the same ‘divine tongue’ as her mother, couldn’t believe that she couldn’t ‘figure out’ the ingredients of a certain dish.
“Next time I have time, I can take you to see where those ingredients grow.”
The ‘place of growth’ that Zhou Guang mentioned is actually located near the hillside of Youkai Mountain.
While the two were chatting about this topic, a new guest suddenly came.
The door was opened somewhat roughly, and Zhou Guang saw the visitor clearly at the first sight.
This time, the guest has a pointy head…
Her short golden hair peeked out from under the brim of her black pointed hat. Her iconic black dress had a crooked white apron tied around her waist. The bow that was supposed to be on her back had slipped to her left hip, swinging like a pendulum as she walked.
It seems that the girl had gone through a struggle before coming here.
Zhou Guang, who had such a guess in his mind, looked at the visitor
“Marisa, where did you cause trouble today?”
“I’m not going to cause trouble! I’m going to solve the problem on behalf of lazy Reimu DA☆ZE!”
The human magician who lives in the Magic Forest and competes with Reimu to exterminate monsters is named Kirisame Marisa.
She runs a jack of all trades called the ‘Mist and Rain Magic Shop’ and was previously asked by Zhou Guang to solve the ‘fairy noise’ incident in the backyard woods.
It turns out it was just some stupid ice fairy playing hide and seek with his friends…
“So what happened? You look a bit disheveled.”
“Hehe, I just went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion and had a fight with the lazy guard there.”
“This is a very sudden action…”
“No, we agreed before that we would find an opportunity to spar with each other.”
“Did you win?”
“Draw.”
Marisa said, sitting on Erina’s right.
She fiddled with her pointed hat and glanced at the rice porridge in Erina’s bowl.
“Give us a bowl too! Can you?”
“No problem.”
“It’s right to come to Shuguang’s place for breakfast! I don’t want to stay in the Scarlet Devil Mansion and eat with those guys.”
Marisa was wandering around early in the morning, talking non-stop, with no intention of stopping.
“Miss, you look like a stranger. Is this your first time in a restaurant?”
“My name is Kirisame Marisa, the magician of the Magic Forest. I’m open to any commission! It would be even better if it’s to exterminate monsters!”
“ha……”
Erina was surprised when she heard the word “magician”, but she didn’t show it.
Since we have come to a restaurant in another dimension, the other “abnormalities” are not that special.
Moreover, compared to the so-called “magician”, Erina now wants to leisurely enjoy the delicious rice porridge in front of her!
Chapter 16: The Star Core Hunter Returns! Is the name of the permanent blacklist confirmed? (Please give me flowers! Please add me to your collection) (Old version)
“Delicious, love it.”
“You should eat more, or I’ll eat them all.”
In Shukou’s restaurant, the person who was wolfing down her food early in the morning was named Kirisame Marisa.
Seeing that she didn’t have any girlish reserve, Erina stopped spooning and didn’t know how to comment for a moment.
But Shukou was used to Marisa’s boldness.
After filling the new bowl with rice porridge and bringing it over, Marisa began to eat it quickly again, like a student who was about to be late, and was very anxious.
“If you eat like this, even though it’s rice porridge and you won’t choke, you won’t be able to taste what’s in it, right?”
“I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about… Ingredients? I don’t care about that. The food that Shuguang makes is delicious, so I’ll eat it right away, right~!?”
Marisa said, looking towards Shukou and blinking, seeking approval.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Zhou Guang smiled and passed it off.
After finishing her third bowl of rice porridge, Marisa burped and picked up her broom.
“Done. I’ll pay for the meal next time. Just like before, I’ll give it to you on credit. Is that ok? Boss Zhou Guang, you can totally trust me, Daze!”
“You did pay for the meal before, so of course you can buy it on credit again.”
“Thank you.”
Marisa waved her hand and did not stop at the restaurant.
But before leaving, he gave Erina a handwritten business card.
It said ‘Gensokyo All-In-One Handyman, Kirisame Marisa is looking forward to your commission’.
Erina accepted it with some confusion and continued to enjoy the food in front of her.
“What a resolute man. Are all the customers in Mr. Zhou Guang’s store extraordinary?”
“That’s true. If I have to say something ordinary… it’s probably only Reimu.”
Indeed, Reimu Hakurei is the guardian of the Great Barrier of Gensokyo and possesses extraordinary power.
But if you compare her with other monsters in Gensokyo, she seems very normal.
I like money, am lazy sometimes, and enjoy a leisurely life.
“Reimu?”
Erina was somewhat curious when Shukou mentioned a name she had never heard of before.
“I’ll introduce it to you next time I have the chance.”
After talking about this topic, Erina ate the last bit of rice porridge.
A warm feeling of fullness spreads throughout the body.
The chill brought by the rain had long since disappeared.
Ding-a-ling!
The doorbell rang.
The person marked as a regular customer by Zhou Guang appeared again.
“Ms. Kafka, welcome. It’s early today.”
“Is it early? My world is different from here. It’s just getting dark.”
“It looks like there’s a huge time difference…”
“Yes, but it’s quite interesting, not troublesome.”
Kafka also chose a window seat this time.
After Shuguang poured Erina a glass of water, he walked over with the menu.
“Or is Miss Kafka alone?”
“I originally invited Silver Wolf and Firefly, but the former didn’t accept due to ‘game updates’, and the latter decided to take a break.”
“What a pity.”
“Anyway, there are still many opportunities. Our journey has not yet reached its end, and this restaurant will definitely be a good place to rest.”
Kafka took the menu in her hand and ordered a bacon sandwich and coffee shulei.
Zhou Guang, who received the order, immediately prepared to start making it.
Went to the kitchen, took out the bread and said to Erina
“Ms. Nakiri’s clothes should be dry now. You can find them in the bathroom on the second floor.”
“So soon?”
“My dryer is also very efficient.”
Erina planned to go to the second floor and change into her clothes.
After the girl left, Kafka took the time to talk to Shuguang in the kitchen.
“We haven’t discussed this in detail before, Brother Zhou Guang, does your restaurant run into trouble on a daily basis? This restaurant is located in the woods, and it seems easy to be targeted.”
“There have been similar situations.”
Zhou Guang recalled the past.
Then he smiled and said
“The restaurant was attacked by two rabbits before.”
“rabbit?”
Kafka became interested and urged Zhou Guang to continue in a questioning tone.
“Yes, but it’s not a literal rabbit. It’s a humanoid monster with rabbit ears.”
One is called Inaba Tei, and the other is ‘Moon War Veteran’ Suzusen.
They seemed to feel that the restaurant was a threat and began to investigate.
The final result is that everyone has learned a lesson…
“Just like the vast universe, this world also seems to have many non-human races.”
“Humans and monsters coexist here. I guess the world Kafka lives in is also like this.”
Even though he knew the setting, Zhou Guang did not use an affirmative tone when chatting.
Kafka smiled softly
“The coexistence of humans and non-humans is not as simple as one might imagine. People traveling on thousands of roads often clash and become enemies before reaching their destination.”
Before Kafka finished her words, the door of the restaurant was pushed open again.
Zhou Guang stopped what he was doing and looked over.
Zhou Guang glanced at the newest guest and immediately ordered him to leave.
“Go away, you are not welcome here.”
“Oh? This place is not the abyss, it’s more like a dimension connected by a distorted space. What a miracle! What a miracle!”
The new guest suddenly exclaimed and seemed very excited.
Zhou Guang frowned slightly at this.
He hadn’t thought that the person in front of him would come to the restaurant.
Is there something wrong with the function that connects all worlds, and this guy was not screened out?
Zhou Guang thought about this and issued an order to expel the guests again.
“You will be on my permanent blacklist. Get out of here, sir, before I do anything.”
“Where does your hostility come from? I…Bodo, the seeker of knowledge from the abyss, it must not be a coincidence!”
Pordo…
He is known as Lord Dawn.
An extremely twisted existence in “Made in Abyss”.
Why would a guy like this appear in a restaurant?
Thinking of this, Zhou Guang looked out the window.
Otherwise… let’s take advantage of the situation and eliminate him as an ‘anomaly’.
After making the decision, Zhou Guang did not stop cooking, but asked Bordeaux to sit down.
In a few minutes, I’ll get rid of this guy…

Chapter 17: Zhou Guang beat up Li Ming Qing, and the one who judged him was…? (Please give me flowers! Collect! Comment!) (Old version)
“Mr. Bordoldo, can you wait for a few minutes?”
“Ah, of course. I am willing to spend enough time waiting and studying to be able to come here.”
Lord Li Ming chose a seat about five meters away from Kafka. After taking his seat, his strong curiosity drove him to look around.
Along with it, there was also the sound of someone talking to himself.
“I was originally in the laboratory…”
“The gate suddenly appeared, and the abyss distorted the space?”
“It can’t just appear out of nowhere. There must be a reason.”
“It’s an incomprehensible situation. That door connects to this world. Maybe it will solve more mysteries?”
Listening to Bordeaux’s mumbling, Kafka, who was originally admiring the scenery outside the window, looked over.
Lord Dawn, who called himself “Bodoldo”, wore armor similar to black ceremonial dress, and his face was covered by a “丨”-shaped mask, looking quite mysterious.
As a star core hunter, Kafka has seen many strange creatures while traveling across the universe.
And now…
Kafka keenly smelled a hint of danger.
She couldn’t help but leave her seat and walked to the seat closest to the kitchen.
“Brother Zhou Guang, if you have trouble refusing that customer, I can help you.”
When Zhou Guang heard Kafka say this, he refused.
“It’s okay, there’s no need to bother Miss Kafka, I can handle it.”
“Really? Mr. Bordoldo looks a little strange. You should pay more attention to him.”
After Zhou Guang finished speaking, he devoted himself to cooking.
At this time, Erina, who had changed her clothes, returned to the hall.
She looked at Shuguang and Kafka, then at the newly arrived and strangely dressed Podoldo, and chose to sit down at the counter area.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, the guest is…”
“The visitor who calls himself ‘Bodo’ seems to have a strong desire for knowledge.”
Kafka explained on behalf of Zhou Guang.
Curiosity…
Even with this information, Erina was still confused.
But to her, Podoro was just a strange guest and there was no need to get to know him better.
Zhou Guang in the kitchen didn’t waste any time and completed Kafka’s order as quickly as possible.
After serving breakfast to the guests, Zhou Guang wiped the water stains on his hands and walked towards Bordeaux who was observing the restaurant.
“You are the owner of the restaurant, right? If it is okay…”
Bang!!
There was a sudden crash.
Kafka narrowed her eyes, Erina widened her eyes, and they both stared at the source of the sound.
There, Podoro’s head was pressed on the table by Zhou Guang, unable to move.
Faced with the sudden suppression, Li Mingqing was also confused.
“Why is this…? Young store manager, I don’t think I have any hostility. I just came here to seek the truth.”
“I’m not interested in your ideas. I just want to ‘eliminate monsters’.”
“Destroy monsters? You are kidding. I am a person who explores the abyss, which is completely different from monsters. If you don’t want to talk…”
Podordo raised his arms.
Before the action was completed, the sound of bones breaking was heard.
When Podoldo was about to use his right arm to attack and break free, he noticed something unusual.
The eyes hidden under the mask noticed the changes in the right arm!
That hand… was broken at a twisted angle, like a fragile work of art, in a state of collapse.
“Why…!”
Surprised at the collapse of his body, Podordo attempted to take the next step.
Then more cracking sounds were heard.
The ‘ammunition pack’ on the back fell off inexplicably, and the armor covering the body was also inexplicably pierced.
The destructive force that penetrates deep into the bone marrow erodes the entire body along the gaps in the wounds!
“Ahhhh!!”
A wail that could not be described as emotion came out of Podordo’s mouth.
“An incomprehensible power… Is this an illusion of the abyss?! An illusion that devours explorers like us?!”
Podordo’s helmet was pressed against the table again, and part of her inhuman face was exposed from the crack.
Seeing the one-sided conflict, Kafka did not try to stop it, and Erina just played the role of a spectator.
Zhou Guang must have her reasons for doing this.
At least in their eyes, it is impossible for a normal store manager to directly attack a strange customer.
Zhou Guang, who restricted the movement of Podordo, took a look at the “ammunition bag” and commented:
“Your spirit of inquiry is indeed worthy of praise, but the ‘effort’ you put into it seems ridiculous to me.”
“What do you know…”
“I only have one answer now. You can be on my ‘permanent blacklist’.”
Because there were customers present, Zhou Guang did not continue.
He released his right arm that was holding down Podordo and took a step back calmly.
“This is my restaurant. All your actions will be meaningless. So please sit down first. At least I will prepare a meal for you.”
A dish called “Beheading Rice”.

In the Mountain of Monsters, Reimu Marufumi’s room.
This morning, she did not go out at dawn as usual, but spent some time preparing the things she needed.
“Fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms, delicious fruits and vegetables, all thanks to the harvest god in the mountains. It’s useful to ask the Tengu to help collect these things in advance!”
After packing them into a basket, Reimu Marufumi prepared to send them to Shuguang’s restaurant.
Previously, because of taking random photos around the restaurant, he was almost put on Zhou Guang’s blacklist, which gave Reimu Marufumi the idea of ​​”giving gifts to get closer to him”.
You know, that restaurant often has customers from other worlds.
This special place that can cross the great barrier of Gensokyo will surely bring more news in the future!
In addition, even Reimu Hakurei, who defeated the incident, acknowledged the special nature of Shukou Restaurant and did not take any action, further proving the value of the restaurant.
“Okay!”
Picking up the basket, Reimu Marufumi took his camera and flew out of his balcony.
After confirming the direction of Shuguang Restaurant, Reimu Maru increased his speed.
“Hmm?”
Squinting his eyes, Reimu Marufumi saw strange movements below.
The monsters that often play in the Monster Mountain are running towards the depths, as if they are avoiding some dangerous monsters.
“Ohh! Big news?!”
A true journalist must bravely go against the current and capture the most precious materials as soon as possible!
So in order to get the information as soon as possible, Reimu Marufumi did not ask the escaped monsters, but flew straight in the direction behind them.
The complicated noise was soon forgotten, and Reimu Hōmei saw two figures about to pass through the woods near the Monster Mountain.
“Wow…”
The moment he noticed them, Yumemaru Fumi had a bad thought.
“It’s actually them…”
Just as he was thinking about turning around and flying away, a sickle fell from above and blocked in front of Reimu Maru!
Reimu Hōrōbun had to stop and looked at the other party with a wry smile.
“Hey, hey, good morning, isn’t this Miss Death? Why did my little Tengu catch your attention?”
The person who blocked her way had short red hair tied into two ponytails, and her red pupils were staring at Reimu Marufumi.
Moreover, she was holding an extra-large sickle in her hand, and at this moment, she exuded a strong sense of oppression. This person was the god of death, Onozuka Komachi.
She is a boatman on the Sanzu River, and her job is to transport the dead from this shore (the present world) to the other shore where Yama is.
If you come into conflict with her, the consequences will be disastrous.
No wonder those monsters ran away.
“Lord Yan Mo wants to see you, come with me.”
“Hey? I have something to do now…”
“I won’t say it again.”
“I’ll go, I’ll go!”
Reimu Marufumi agreed immediately
Following Komachi to the ground, Reimuchimaru saw Lord Enma standing under a dense tree.
The King of Hell, the highest judge of Paradise, Shiki Eihime, had a serious look on her face.
She often judges the dead in Gensokyo and is the Enma who has the closest relationship with Gensokyo, so she has become an existence that monsters avoid.
“Good morning, Lord Yanma.”
“Tengu…are you still the same as always, filming everywhere and making up news?”
“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Lord Yanma, this Tengu reporter has always pursued the truth! Although some news is not very accurate, I am not lying! It’s just a different angle!”
“Still quibbling?”
“No!”
Reimu Marufumi immediately lowered his head.
Because Shiki Eiji has the ability to clearly distinguish between right and wrong, she naturally understands what Reimu Marufumi’s current attitude is.
“Forget it, next…”
Halfway through her words, Shiki Yingji suddenly looked towards the northwest.
She frowned slightly and turned away.
“Let’s go, Onozuka.”
“Okay, Lord Yanma.”
Seeing that the ‘Hell Duo’ was suddenly planning to leave, the frightened Reimu Hōmei did not choose to slip away.
Since it has attracted the attention of Shiki Yingji, it must be big news!
“Let’s go too!”
“It’s okay. I’ll let you see some things with your own eyes so that you can learn from them.”
Shiki Eiji agreed, and then took Onozuka Komachi to the place where the “abnormality” she noticed was.
After arriving at the destination, Reimu Marufumi discovered that the end point was actually the restaurant he had planned to patronize!
“Master Yanma, why are you here at Mr. Zhou Guang’s restaurant? Are you hungry?”
“Unfounded speculation will only cause more trouble. I didn’t come here just to eat.”
After saying this, Shiki Eiji walked towards the main entrance.
Seeing this, Onozuka Komachi immediately opened the door for him.
Following him into the restaurant, Reimu Marufumi found that there were already three guests inside.
The restaurant owner, Zhou Guang, was standing inside the counter. His expression was not one of surprise, but rather a smile.
In Gensokyo, there aren’t many people who aren’t afraid of Shiki Eihime…
When Reimu Marufumi thought of this, Shiki Eiji walked straight to the guest on her right and sat down in front of him.
what happened?
Want to judge the strange guest with a broken mask?
Reimu Marufumi did not ask questions immediately, but carefully carried the basket and walked to the kitchen.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, I brought you some food.”
“You not only brought the ingredients, but also an interesting guest.”
“I didn’t bring them here. Lord Yan Mo came here all of a sudden!”
Reimu Marufumi kept shaking her head, denying her relationship with Shiki Eihime.
On Lord Yanma’s side, Shiki Eiji was staring at the guest wearing a broken mask, her expression more solemn and serious than before.

Zhou Guang’s restaurant became lively early in the morning.
Sitting at the counter was Kafka, who came for breakfast;
Next to her is Erina Nakiri, who wants to get to the bottom of the food;
There are three figures by the window, namely Bortoldo from “Made in Abyss”, Enma·Shiki Eihime, and the Grim Reaper·Onotsuka Komachi.
With the addition of Tengu Yameimarubun who delivered food to Shuguang, the restaurant, which had just opened for a short time, became popular instantly.
Kafka stared at the people from Podoro, and with interest, she took a sip of coffee and asked
“Brother Zhou Guang, who are those people…”
“I think Wen can answer your questions. Miss Nakiri’s questions can also be explained by Wen.”
The right to speak suddenly fell upon me.
Shemingwanwen cleared his throat and responded with a smile.
“No problem, Mr. Zhou Guang, leave this job to me.”
very good.
Zhou Guang then left the kitchen and walked towards the dining table where Shiki Yingji was.
He took the menu and moved closer.
“Ms. Shiki Eiji, this is the first time we meet.”
“Please don’t address Lord Yanma by his name.”
“It’s alright, Komachi.”
Shiki Eiji waved her hand, asking Onozuka Komachi who was standing behind her to calm down.
She raised her head and looked at Zhou Guang with a serious face.
“The owner of the restaurant… I’ve heard of you and was planning to come here earlier.”
“It’s better to come at the right time than to come early. I just happen to have something to ask Miss Shiki Yingji.”
“Is this the one…?”
Shiki Eiji’s gaze fell on the silent Podoldo.
With his mask broken, his weapon dropped, his body broken, and his body severely injured, Podordo finally got the chance to speak.
“I pursue the truth of the abyss and explore the secrets that no one knows. This visit may change my plan, but it seems that there is no chance now…”
There was regret in Bordeaux’s tone.
He couldn’t help but look at Zhou Guang
“Your Excellency seems to know something about my affairs, but I am puzzled by your obvious disgust.”
“I am not very interested in you. I just want to put an end to a trouble. I believe that Miss Shiki Eiji is very clear about this and will make the right judgment.”
Zhou Guang then turned towards Shiki Eihime.
Lord Yama fell silent.
Ten seconds later, he rejoined the conversation, his eyes falling on Podordo.
“Your karma is very heavy. Sins like shackles have bound you for a long time. What did you do in the past… no, what did you do now?”
“I am just pursuing the truth that no one knows.”
“But you put the desire for knowledge above the dignity of life, and this is a sin.”
“Science requires sacrifices, and the resulting sacrifices are nothing more than variations of the praise of truth.”
“What an arrogant fallacy.”
Shiki Eiji can distinguish between black and white, but the Porto in front of her is completely dark, a darkness that can attract any light.
Zhou Guang returned to the kitchen at this time, brought out a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Bordeaux.
“This is a treat for you. After drinking it, I think it will calm you down a lot.”
“Can you let me pack?”
Podoro began to think about leaving.
But Zhou Guang had no intention of letting him go.
Knowing that he couldn’t struggle, Podoldo just laughed softly.
“At least I have seen secrets that no one knows about, but the door that connects here may be discovered by someone in the future…”
After saying this, Bordeaux drank the hot soup in front of him through the mask in another way.
The smell meant nothing to him, he just felt a warmth flowing through his body, seemingly repairing his wounds, but also slowly eroding his consciousness.
Looking at the ‘dark sinner’ who came to Gensokyo, Shiki Eiji gently waved her hand.
“As you command, Lord Yanma.”
Onozuka Komachi grabbed Bordoldo’s shoulders and pulled up Liming Qing, who had just finished drinking the soup and was exhausted.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, I will take your guest away.”
“Of course, Miss Shiki Yingji, if you find it troublesome, I can handle it here.”
“This person’s sins are not as simple as simple punishment.”
Before Shiki Eiji finished her words, Onozuka Komachi took Bordoldo out of the restaurant.
But Lord Yama did not leave.
She exhaled and said helplessly
“I once met the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine. She mentioned the specialness of this restaurant. ‘Fantasy Town’ is full of problems and is troubling. Mr. Shuguang, I don’t want you to magnify those ‘troubles’.”
“I have similar thoughts, but generally speaking, as long as you put someone on the blacklist, there will be no more problems.”
“Ms. Shiki Yingji, would you like some breakfast?”
“Just now I noticed that you seemed to be observing the food in front of Miss Kafka.”
“That’s just your illusion.”
Shiki Eiji coughed softly.
However, even though she denied it, she did not reject the proposal.
After adjusting her mood, Shiki Yingji picked up the menu that was originally placed in front of her.
“What is the recommended breakfast here?”
“This time I recommend the bacon sandwich. It will taste rich with some spices, just like what Miss Kafka eats.”
“Then… I’ll take your recommendation for the dish.”
When Shiki Yingji heard what Zhou Guang said, she also placed an order.
Serious Lord Yan Mo, today I want to try the breakfast of a famous restaurant after work and experience other people’s lives…

Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 20: The Adventures of Kaname no Kirie and the Restaurant at Noon (Please give me flowers! Collect!) Illustrations and text
The luxurious mansion located in the forest was illuminated by the sun near noon.
The flower beds in the courtyard are already in bloom and are swaying in the wind;
The sea of ​​trees outside the courtyard wall is lush and green, but surprisingly quiet.
If it weren’t for the shiny new iron fence at the main gate, outsiders would probably think of the mansion as a haunted place with scary ghosts in the movie.
In fact, this kind of speculation is somewhat accurate.
Because the owner of the mansion, the master of this place, is a vampire named Karibo no Mist.
Wuzhi is a vampire, but can bask in the sun and touch silver, but she is afraid of the cross engraved in the Vatican.
In addition to the identities mentioned above, Wuzhi also plays the role of “student” in human society.
However, during this period of vacation, Wuzhi’s favorite thing to do when she has nothing to do is to take a bath.
Now it is like this—
In the bathroom of the luxurious mansion in the center of this European-style manor, Kagami Mitsuji buried her whole body in the bathtub.
She exhaled a light cherry-colored breath and looked at the antique clock on the wall. The time displayed was eleven-thirty, and it was not long before noon.
Wuzhi, who had eaten something casually in the morning, was not hungry, but simply felt bored.
“Huh~”
At this moment, the feeling of warm water flowing over her shoulders made her sigh comfortably.
Leaning against the edge of the bathtub, Wuzhi picked up a camellia petal floating on the water and watched it slowly curl up at her fingertips.
The smell is very fragrant and pleasant.
Next time, let’s change it to roses and lilies.
Wuzhi took note of this incident and planned to order the butler in the house to remember it later.
Speaking of this, Wuzhi thought that the zombie butler had been a little lazy recently.
Part of the flower bed I bought a few days ago withered due to excessive pruning.
If the mistake is made again, it is necessary to punish.
No longer thinking about these troubles, Wuzhi closed her eyes and enjoyed the rare leisure time.
When he finished his bath, the wall clock chimed, indicating that it was twelve o’clock.
Wuzhi left the bathtub and picked up the towel that had been prepared long ago, wiped off the water droplets that had slid down her fair skin and onto the ground, and elegantly put on her favorite black long dress.
The dress made of high-quality silk is comfortable and fits the body, which is pleasing to the eye.
After changing her clothes, she walked out of the bathroom and saw the butler standing not far away on standby.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this servant would definitely be seen as a monster, ugly, twisted, and terrible.
Because his face was shriveled and haggard, he was no different from the zombies in movies and animations.
However, the loyalty of the zombie butler is unquestionable, and Wuzhi has no intention of dismissing him or making him disappear.
“Miss, you have finished your shower. Do you need me to prepare lunch for you? Because you said before that you haven’t decided what you want to eat, so I haven’t prepared it yet…”
“No need to prepare lunch. I don’t have much appetite right now. Let’s go for a walk in the courtyard first. The weather is nice today anyway.”
Unlike ordinary vampires, the sun and silver are of no threat to Misty Branch.
It would be better to say that those who are afraid of them are fake, fragile vampires, and a disgrace to the vampire clan.
However, most humans believe it, which is not a bad thing for Wuzhi.
At least you can tease those guys when you encounter stupid challengers.
Wuzhi was thinking about unimportant things and strolled into the courtyard.
The weather is nice today.
The sun is high above our heads, and its golden light shines on the road ahead.
The bamboo frames on both sides are covered with ivy, forming a green passage that extends to the colorful flower beds.
“You don’t have to follow me. Go clean the warehouse and clear out the unused things in it.”
“I understand, Miss.”
When the zombie butler heard Wuzhi say this, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
When Wuzhi walked to the front of the flower bed, he smelled a mixture of various fragrances.
Except for the parts that had withered before, the remaining flowers have bloomed.
“very beautiful……”
Wuzhi sighed softly, and then saw a butterfly coming on the wind.
Her eyes followed the butterfly and she discovered a ‘foreign object’ in the background.
Slightly lifting the hem of her long skirt, Wuzhi walked over there.
At the end of the flower garden, near the wall, there is a door.
It was obviously not created by the zombie butler, nor could it be done by an outsider, otherwise she would have noticed the movement long ago.
Recognizing the sign hanging at the gate, Wuzhi’s doubts deepened.
There is only a wall behind the door, and it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with “business”.
strangeness……
abnormal.
At the same time, it also aroused Wuzhi’s curiosity.
She came to the side of the door.
“Sure enough, it’s clinging to the wall.”
There seems to be a setting of ‘anywhere door’ in the comics created by humans.
So this door has a similar function?
“How stupid.”
Wuzhi just found the previous guess ridiculous.
But she did not break down the door. Instead, she stretched out her right hand and grasped the door handle.
Turn gently.
There was the sound of the door unlocking.
Behind the gate was not the wall of the manor, but… a hall.
Warm lighting fills the space.
Wuzhi frowned and walked inside.
Her eyes quickly locked onto the young man in the kitchen.
“Welcome, my dear guest. I have many recommendations for today’s lunch.”
The silent Wuzhi had only one thought in her mind – this restaurant is not simple!
Chapter 21: Promise with Erina, Recommendation for Kaname no Kirie (Please give flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
After finishing her breakfast, Kafka briefly explained to Reimu Maru what the “Star Core Hunter” was, then said goodbye to Shuguang and returned to her own world.
It can be seen that Kafka is very busy on weekdays.
I guess he is causing trouble on some planet in the Bengtie Universe again.
Zhou Guang thought that if he had time, he could ask Kafka to bring some “cosmic ingredients” to the store.
“It tastes good…”
At this time, Shiki Yingji, who ordered the same breakfast as Kafka, nodded with satisfaction.
Her expression was much more relaxed than before and not as serious.
Seeing this scene, Reimu Maru had only one comment:
“As expected, before you can capture someone’s heart, you have to capture their stomach. Although I’ve seen Lady Yanma drinking before, the smile just now rarely appears on her face.”
“Is that young lady so serious?”
“That’s right, Miss Nakiri. Lady Enma is famous for being serious and strict. Even the great monsters don’t want to meet her.”
When Erina Nakiri saw Reimu Marufumi making an exaggerated expression, she more or less understood the ‘horror’ of Shiki Eihime.
“I can hear what you’re saying, Tengu.”
“Uwaa! Lord Yanma! Please don’t misunderstand me! I was only joking!”
“I still have work to do, so I won’t lecture you, but don’t forget the mistakes you made, especially the news that caused a commotion in Gensokyo.”
“I will definitely reflect on this!”
“very good.”
Shiki Eiji stood up and walked to the counter, as if she was going to pay.
However, before she took action, Reimu Marufumi paid a sum of money first.
“You don’t need to pay, Lord Yanma. Just leave this to me.”
“You don’t need to pay. I don’t intend to owe you a favor.”
“Please don’t say that. I just want to atone for my sins.”
“Even so, it has nothing to do with money.”
At this time, Zhou Guang took the gold coins that Tengu had placed on the counter.
“Consider that breakfast as a gift from me, Miss Shiki Eiji, to thank you for taking that troublesome guy away.”
“The guilty will be punished. I am not trying to help.”
“If it weren’t for my restaurant, he wouldn’t have come to Gensokyo, so let me express my gratitude.”
“Thank you so much… I’ll come again and pay the bill then.”
Satisfied with the sandwich, Shiki Eiji turned and left.
When her figure disappeared at the door, Shemingwan turned around
“Hey, Boss Zhou Guang, since you were the one treating me, I’ll give you the money…”
“I accept it.”
“Ahh.”
“I’ll give you a discount later.”
“This… is pretty good though.”
Reimu Marufumi put away his notebook and jumped off his seat.
She stretched.
“Well, I have to go collect news! See you later!”
“Are you leaving now?”
“Yes, the ‘Human Village’ is very busy today, and it will attract many monsters.”
The journalist soul of Yumeimarufumi is still burning.
As a result, the only person left at the scene was Erina Nakiri, who had changed her clothes.
At this moment when they were alone, Erina took a look at the fully equipped ‘chef equipment’ in the kitchen.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, have you really never learned cooking systematically?”
“No, but I am still very confident in my talent.”
“That’s not talent, that’s genius.”
Speaking of this, Erina pointed at the ingredients that Tengu had brought just now.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, I understand now. The ingredients you used to make the snacks must have been fruits from the Monster Mountain. Some of them tasted like a mixture of honey and mint, which was very special.”
“Yes, if you are interested, I can let Wen take you there next time. However… most humans are not allowed to go there. I am the only one who goes there occasionally.”
Speaking of humans…
In fact, there is also one in the Monster Mountain.
For example, the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine, Sanae Tofutani.
“If possible, I hope Mr. Zhou Guang can call me next time he goes to pick ingredients.”
“I am also a chef, and I want to try those special ingredients.”
After saying that, Erina glanced at her phone.
There is no signal, but the time is still accurate.
“I should go too. I have classes today.”
“You are welcome to come again next time.”
“I’ll come again.”
Erina was amazed at Shumitsu’s cooking skills and decided to study and discuss them together in the future.
After seeing off the girl with the “God’s Tongue”, Shuguang picked up the plates and knives and forks left by Kafka and Shiki Eihime.
Just like that, the restaurant became quiet and no customers came.
No wonder Reimu Maru said that the “Human Village” was very lively. I guess both humans and monsters were attracted there.
It was noon.
The sun outside the restaurant window became brighter.
The golden light spread all over the earth, illuminating the two roads leading to the ‘Human Village’ and the ‘Xianglin Hall’.
Ding-a-ling.
Zhou Guang heard the familiar voice and followed the procedure and said softly
Then he looked carefully and found that the other person was a girl with silver hair and blue eyes wearing a black dress.
Oh my…
Zhou Guang knew her name.
Kaname Kirie is a tsundere, sharp-tongued vampire who has lived for three hundred years.
However, when facing strangers, Wuzhi will show her “ordinary” side.
“here it is……?”
“I, Zhou Guang, run a restaurant. The gate you just walked through connects to all the worlds, so I occasionally encounter guests like you.”
“Restaurant, Ten Thousand Worlds, Strange Place.”
Wuzhi looked around and then chose a sofa to sit on.
“Since it’s a restaurant, do you have any recommendations?”
“Then I’ll take the set menu you recommended.”
After taking the order from the vampire girl, Zhou Guang, who had been idle for a while, decided to go all out and grab Wuzhi’s stomach.
Chapter 22: My stomach was grabbed! Wuzhi fell in love at first sight! Confessed on the spot! (Part 1) (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 22 My stomach was captured! Wuzhi fell in love at first sight! Confession on the spot! (Part 1) (Please give flowers! Collect!) Picture and text
Zhou Guang has played “Beautiful Girl Kageek”, which is a very excellent masterpiece.
Therefore, while preparing the ingredients, he would take the time to look at the girl sitting by the window.
With silver hair, blue eyes, and skin as white as jade, she is as cute as an exquisitely crafted doll.
What’s the storyline of the world where the Fire Mist Branch is located?
Will it trigger the main story?
Zhou Guang decided to investigate.
Just like the question to Nanase Ren.
As the boss, Zhou Guang took out the venison stored in the freezer before asking the question.
Auxiliary materials include black cherries, red wine, dark chocolate, honey, rosemary, garlic, onions, carrots, celery, etc., which can be said to be quite rich.
After getting ready, Zhou Guang started talking.
“Miss…Excuse me…”
“I have a name.”
“Burna no Mist Branch, this is my name, it’s okay to tell you.”
A bit arrogant indeed.
In this era, young 2D and otaku seem to have forgotten the true meaning of “tsundere”.
The key point is not the “arrogance”, but the “coquettishness” after the “arrogance”.
If a character is too arrogant in the game, Zhou Guang will usually choose to punish him severely.
Although his thoughts were a little distracted, Zhou Guang did not forget the work at hand.
He continued to talk while trying to do two things at the same time.
“Ms. Wuzhi, may I call you that?”
“You’re quite familiar with me.”
“You can call me by another name, of course.”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind it. On the contrary, can you really handle cooking while talking?”
“Don’t worry Miss Wuzhi, everything is going as planned.”
After that, Zhou Guang mixed red wine, garlic, rosemary, a little sea salt and black pepper into a sauce to marinate the venison.
In this restaurant, all ingredients are not marinated for too long, which is one of the advantages of Zhouguang’s cooking.
While waiting for the venison to absorb the aroma, Zhou Guang asked
“It’s already noon, and Miss Wuzhi is dressed quite casually. Could it be that she is not a student? Or is the school on holiday?”
“Just as you thought, the school is on holiday for three days.”
“Usually, I hang out with friends.”
“Really? I don’t know anything about that. I don’t have any friends and I hate school. It’s full of stupid people, both students and teachers.”
It looks like the story there hasn’t started yet.
Zhou Guang raised the corner of his mouth after receiving this answer.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Because everything is going well, I will soon prepare the food for Miss Kirie.”
“Time is not a problem… Compared to this, where exactly is this place? I know it’s a restaurant, but… why did it appear in my courtyard? Is the only explanation you mentioned ‘accidentally’?”
“Yes, there is only one explanation. Miss Wuzhi accidentally saw the gate and came here by chance.”
A rather ambiguous answer.
As a vampire who had lived for three hundred years, Kagami no Mist was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down.
For her, the current ‘special restaurant’ is a good place to kill time.
The premise is that the food made by the boss is delicious enough.
otherwise……
Wuzhi looked at Zhouguang seriously.
The arms exposed by rolling up the sleeves look strong and powerful, and the neck partly exposed by the shirt collar under the apron looks quite delicious.
If the dishes served were unpalatable, Wuzhi decided to eat the manager.
Even though she can taste human food, as a vampire, Wuzhi still has a craving for blood.
“Don’t worry, Miss Wuzhi, my cooking will definitely satisfy you.”
“Where does your confidence come from?”
“I received a takeout order from the Scarlet Devil Mansion before. In addition to Patchouli, I also prepared food for the pair of vampire sisters.”
“Vampire sisters?”
Wuzhiliu frowned slightly and her expression became cautious.
She was very clear that she had never mentioned the word ‘vampire’.
And when facing outsiders, Wuzhi will hide her identity.
If the other party sees through…
Action is necessary.
Zhou Guang remained calm and said with a smile:
“I’m not sure about Ms. Kirie’s identity, but in this world of mine, in this ‘Fantasy Town’, there are tengu, vampires, undead, monsters, oni, and everything. And the evaluations they give me are still 100% positive.”
“Tengu, demon tribe…”
Wuzhi didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
In her world, there are only humans and vampires, and no third party exists.
But on Shukou’s side, ‘Fantasy Township’ is filled with various non-human races.
“It’s just a door, but it connects to such a world?”
“Some people will sigh, and some will be delighted. I wonder what Miss Wuzhi thinks.”
“If I have a chance, I plan to take a stroll here. After I go back, I will only have boring vacation time.”
Wuzhi’s gaze then turned outside the restaurant.
There are only woods here, but in the distance along the forest road, one can vaguely see the outlines of man-made buildings that do not belong to nature.
At this time, Zhou Guang did not disturb Wuzhi who was admiring the scenery outside the window, and concentrated on the food in front of him.
While the venison was marinating, he then added chopped onions, carrots and celery to the pot, sautéed them until golden, then added black cherries, a small amount of red wine and dark chocolate, stirring until a thick, jam-like substance formed.
This unique filling not only adds sweetness but also provides an unexpected layer of taste.
The next step is to roast the venison, brushing it with the remaining red wine sauce to keep it moist.
After roasting, take it out and stuff it with stuffing and bake it again until the surface of the venison presents an attractive caramel color.
After finishing the roasted venison with the special sauce, Zhou Guang sliced ​​some of it and arranged it on a plate.
Wuzhi, smelling the fragrance, withdrew her gaze and looked towards the kitchen.
At this moment, she felt her stomach growling, as if urging Wuzhi to taste it quickly.
“Smells so good…”
Regardless of the specific taste, at least in terms of smell, Kirie thinks that Shuguang’s food is mouth-watering…
This is the extra update that was not included yesterday. Thank you to every reader for voting!
As for what’s next…it’s time to teach that tsundere vampire a lesson.
Chapter 23: My stomach was grabbed! Wuzhi fell in love at first sight! Confessed on the spot! (Part 2) (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
Looking at the food that Zhou Guang brought in front of her, Wuzhi picked up the knife and fork.
I saw her slowly cutting a piece of venison, and I saw that the skin had an attractive caramel color, while the inside remained tender and juicy.
As the knife and fork cut, a unique aroma of red wine, black cherry and dark chocolate wafts into your nose. This aroma is complex yet harmonious, as if telling the story of each ingredient.
It is more like a symphony of aromas than a dish.
Thinking this in his mind, Wuzhi put the venison into his mouth. He first felt the impact of the slightly sweet jam on the surface, followed by the mellow taste of the venison itself and the faint scent of rosemary!
At this moment, the food danced on her tongue, with various flavors intertwined, including the rich sweetness of dark chocolate, the sour aftertaste of red wine, and the light floral scent brought by honey.
These rich flavors not only satisfied Wuzhi’s taste buds, but also gave her heart an unprecedented happy experience.
For a vampire who is used to blood as a single source of food, the complex gourmet experience is undoubtedly a new enjoyment.
So deep down, Kagami no Kirie had to admit that this dish far exceeded his expectations.
The tenderness of the venison is perfectly combined with the richness of the red wine marinade;
The sweetness of black cherry and dark chocolate balanced the heaviness of the meat just right;
The honey adds a refreshing sweetness to the whole dish.
Wuzhi had also watched food shows, so like a critic, she praised this idea in her heart.
Having said that, as a vampire who has lived for hundreds of years, Wuzhi does not intend to directly acknowledge the excellence of the young man in front of her.
To put it bluntly, it’s just not honest…
“Huh, I didn’t expect you to be able to make such a pretty good dish.”
Wuzhi looked at the other party
“However, if you think that this little bit of ability can impress me, you are totally wrong.”
“As long as Miss Wuzhi is satisfied.”
“Anyway… it’s barely acceptable.”
Wuzhi added:
“Although I’ve seen many chefs try to attract attention with all kinds of strange combinations, this venison in sauce really makes people’s eyes shine.”
Holding the fork in her fair right hand, Zhou Guang saw her pointing to the right.
“Especially the dark chocolate part. I thought it would be greasy, but it turned out to be surprisingly harmonious. It seems that your cooking skills are a little different from those mediocre ones. They are a little better.”
This was an experience Wuzhi had never had before.
Just by cooking one dish, I felt an unprecedented sense of happiness.
In addition to sucking blood, I never thought that delicious food could have such magical power. Why haven’t I experienced it before?
Wuzhi thought of the only answer.
She had hired chefs in the past, but she was never satisfied with them.
Only the owner of this restaurant, only Zhou Guang…
Thinking of this, she paused, as if considering whether to continue praising him.
Then she sighed, and her tone became a little softer.
“I have to say, this is indeed the most special dish I have ever eaten; of course, this does not mean you can be complacent! If you don’t do it well next time, I will criticize you mercilessly.”
Zhou Guang doesn’t hate the evaluation given to him by outsiders.
Good or bad, both are freedom.
When he thought of this, Wuzhi suddenly changed the subject.
so……
“I want to supervise you.”
Wuzhi’s gem-like eyes stared at Zhou Guang
“Zhou Guang, do you want to be mine? I can prepare the same kitchen utensils for you in my manor, and I will also provide you with the ingredients.”
“This is quite a sudden suggestion.”
“It’s not sudden. I admire talented people. You may have an upper limit, but under my supervision, it won’t be a problem for you to make a breakthrough. What do you want to choose, Zhou Guang?”
“Let me refuse.”
“Did I hear it wrongly?”
“I refuse.”
Zhou Guang smiled calmly
“I like the life here and I don’t plan to leave. If Miss Wuzhi is satisfied with my cooking, please come again next time.”
“It’s not satisfaction, I just recognize some of the talents you have.”
“Thanks for your approval.”
“You should know that I have never made the proposal just now to anyone I met for the first time. You are the first one.”
“Ms. Wuzhi’s proposal is very tempting, but please allow me to refuse.”
Zhou Guang, who had won Wuzhi’s ‘first time’, still did not accept it.
Zhou Guang never thought of becoming someone’s personal chef.
He runs a restaurant in Gensokyo, and all he wants to do is leisurely prepare delicious food and enjoy life with humans and monsters.
Occasionally quarrels with Tengu;
Drink wine with the ghost tribe from time to time;
Or maybe teasing the naughty fairies.
The above life is a unique experience in “Fantasy Township”.
“That’s a pretty straightforward refusal. If you have any conditions, I can accept them.”
“Ms. Kirie seems to like my cooking very much.”
“No, no, I just think you have potential and I plan to give you more support.”
Having said that, Wuzhi doesn’t think she will go to other restaurants in the future…
Zhou Guang’s cooking completely captured her appetite.
“To put it simply, you like me as a person?”
This time it was Zhou Guang’s turn to be silent.
I didn’t expect the tsundere Wuzhi to be so straightforward.
Is it because they haven’t become acquaintances yet, so her tsundere and sharp tongue haven’t been revealed?
However, at this time Wuzhi hurriedly added
“If you take ‘value’ as ‘like’ then it’s the same, but since you have rejected my invitation, don’t regret it later.”
“I won’t regret it, and I hope Miss Wuzhi will come often in the future.”
Wuzhi nodded and began to taste the rest of the food.
Now she…
The vampire Kaname no Kirie, who has lived for hundreds of years, plans to spend the rest of his time in this restaurant and in this world.
Chapter 24: The owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion falls in love with takeout, and Sakuya Izayoi goes to the restaurant (Please give me flowers! Please collect!) (Old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 24: The owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion fell in love with takeout, and Sakuya Izayoi went to the restaurant (please give me flowers! Please collect!) Picture and text
This is the Scarlet Devil Mansion in Gensokyo.
Before the first rays of morning sunlight penetrated the treetops of the Magic Forest, the maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Sakuya Izayoi, began her work.
She was currently standing in a red-carpeted corridor, using silver tweezers to pick up a spider web from the seventh rose window.
“Are you going to wake up?”
Looking up, Sakuya Izayoi noticed that the bats hanging upside down on the crystal chandelier suddenly flapped their wings collectively, which was a sign that the young lady was about to wake up.
That lady is the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion – Remlia Scarlet.
“The dust over there…is a bit more than before.”
Sakuya, the head maid, spoke softly to the air, and the silver knife came out of its sheath.
A cold light flashed through the gaps in the relief carvings on the corridor columns, and a cloud of gray fog that had accumulated for fifty years was pierced through and dissipated by the sharp blade before it could escape.
Repeating the above work, Sakuya quickly completed the inspection of the entire Scarlet Devil Mansion.
When passing by the fountain in the atrium, she suddenly stopped, lowered her head and looked into the pool.
There were splashes of oil floating in the reflection of the pool that shouldn’t be there, which reminded her of the suspicious reflection of sauce at the corner of the mouth of the security guard Hong Meiling two days ago.
“Sakuya——!”
Remlia’s call, wrapped in bloody magic, penetrated three layers of marble slabs.
Hearing the eldest lady’s voice, Sakuya immediately went to Remlia’s bedroom.
When the head maid appeared in the bedroom, the vampire was tapping on the empty lacquered wooden lunch box with her nails. The words “Zhou Guang Takeaway” were written on the lid.
That was the set meal delivered two days ago, and the restaurant owner jokingly called it the ‘Fat House Happy Meal’.
It contains hamburgers and cola, and has the properties of keeping warm and fresh, so it can be enjoyed over two days.
“That human boss, Zhou Guang… the set meal he sent two days ago…”
The eldest lady emphasized with full dignity
“I gave three yesterday and three today. The second one was given to Fran. She actually ate the whole afternoon tea quietly with the burger…”
Hearing this, Sakuya’s eyes moved to the side.
There were also a few takeaway boxes there.
All are the same set menu.
It’s either a burger or a chicken roll, the only change is the drink that goes with it.
To be honest, Sakuya didn’t expect her vampire master to be able to eat these takeout dishes…
And it’s not just Remlia. Once the extra chicken pieces are distributed to the fairy maids, they will scramble for them.
Sakuya only had one thought about this.
The stability of the Scarlet Devil Mansion is being disrupted by Zhou Guang’s takeaway.
“Sakuya.”
“exist.”
“After noon, go to the restaurant on the east side of the forest.”
Remlia’s wings spread out into a blood-red curtain in the morning light, and she added, showing her majesty once again.
“Tell the human chef named Zhou Guang that the Scarlet Devil Mansion needs a banquet worthy of the Eternal Night Moon tonight. Ask him to prepare it.”
“I understand. I’ll do it now.”
When the head maid retreated to the door, she suddenly heard the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other.
Through the crack in the door, Sakuya caught a glimpse of the ever-elegant vampire lord searching the box for hamburger crumbs…
Is this too much?
Izayoi Sakuya withdrew her gaze and hurriedly left the corridor.
When Sakuya came outside and passed through the main entrance of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the devil relief on the gilded door knocker suddenly blinked.
On the left side of the door, the guard who should have been standing solemnly was now leaning against the wall, the hem of his emerald cheongsam stained with morning dew and suspicious weeds.
Hong Meiling’s breathing was rhythmic and steady until the silver knife brushed past the hair ornament on her ear and nailed into the wall.
“ah!!”
Hong Meiling was frightened awake.
“The fifty-seventh time.”
Sakuya pulled out the silver dinner knife that was stuck in the wall, and the blade reflected the grease that had not been wiped off the guard’s mouth.
“The record of sleeping during duty this month is fifty-seven times…”
“No, not sleeping!”
Hong Meiling, who had been eating secretly before, retorted
“I am practicing the secret Shaolin meditation.”
Not only that, Hong Meiling pointed at the shadow of the porch righteously.
“Maid, look at this angle. We can just cover the entire courtyard with our true energy!”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Ahahaha…”
“The young lady is hosting a dinner party at the restaurant in the forest tonight. If you don’t want to be the main dish of the banquet, you’d better not let any suspicious people into the Scarlet Devil Mansion.”
Hearing this threat, Hong Meiling shrank back.
She knew the maid in front of her was not joking.
“Yes, sir!”
Hong Meiling answered seriously.
“I promise not even a mosquito can fly in!”
Hong Meiling said this and waved her fist.
But after that, she, the doorman, asked
“Can I attend the dinner, too?”
“Of course not. The guard’s job is to guard the Scarlet Devil Mansion, not to eat.”
“well……”
“But it all depends on how the young lady decides.”
Seeing Hong Meiling’s disappointed expression, Sakuya added a few words.
After talking about this, Sakuya Izayoi gave a few more instructions, then left the Scarlet Devil Mansion and walked towards Shukou’s restaurant.
Chapter 25: The perfect maid’s visit, Scarlet Devil Mansion’s dinner reservation (asking for flowers! Collection!) (Old version)
After eating the marinated venison, Kagami no Kirie, who wanted Zhou Guang, did not leave immediately as she had said before.
“I’ll have the coffee on the menu, something light, and a toasted muffin.”
After hearing the content of Wuzhi’s order, Zhouguang also started looking for the ingredients in the kitchen.
There is no doubt that this vampire girl with long silver hair and blue eyes will stay here for a long time.
However, Zhou Guang had no intention of issuing an order to expel them.
When Wuzhi is completely obsessed with her cooking, things will get interesting later~
Creak…
A slight friction sound was heard at this moment.
Wuzhi stood up before Zhouguang prepared the coffee and muffins.
“Shou Guang…can I go for a walk outside?”
“If Miss Wuzhi has no intention of leaving, then opening that door now will not return to the original world.”
“It’s really amazing. Do you know the reason?”
“It’s hard to explain.”
“No problem…”
Wuzhi grasped the door handle of the restaurant again and turned it gently.
The door lock clicked and was opened by the vampire girl.
It was noon, so the sun was shining brightly and it was very pleasant.
Unlike the vampires in movies and comics who are afraid of the sun and silver, Bonei no Mist has no effect on her at all under the blinding light of the day.
The only thing I hate is the cross engraved on the Vatican.
Once you see that, you will be terrified.
But there is no…
Wuzhi gently lifted her skirt and entered the woods at the main entrance of the restaurant, strolling along the path where monsters occasionally appeared.
Zhou Guang was not worried and focused on the work at hand.
After brewing the coffee, he started to make muffins.
In Zhou Guang’s opinion, dessert dishes are the simplest type.
It is also the most cost-effective one.
The reason…
It’s actually very simple.
Once the girls in Gensokyo have tasted the snacks he made, most of them will become repeat customers.
“After all, sweets are delightful.”
Zhou Guang, talking to himself, quickened his pace.
A few minutes later.
When the pancakes were ready, Zhou Guang saw Wuzhi returning to the restaurant.
In her hand she held a fallen leaf, which was stained with a little dust, but the color was like a rainbow.
“Look at this… it’s colorful leaves.”
“I think it was caused by some monster.”
There are ice fairies who like frozen frogs, and some fairies who are influenced by the outside world’s “street graffiti” culture.
It is said that they also did graffiti at the Hakurei Shrine, with serious consequences…
“Really? I thought this was unique to the other world.”
After saying this, a new figure appeared behind Wuzhi.
“You have a new guest.”
Wuzhi turned sideways and walked towards her seat.
Behind her stood a young girl.
She was wearing a maid outfit with blue and white as the main colors, and a maid hairpin on her head. Her silver hair, as soft as the mist branch, was shorter, with sideburns on both sides. They were tied into small pigtails with green ribbons tied at the ends.
“Ms. Izayoi, why are you here?”
Zhou Guang brought coffee and toasted muffins to Wuzhi while chatting with her.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Zhou Guang.”
Izayoi Sakuya bowed.
The head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion rarely appears in front of humans. She is also very cold to the human villagers who visit the Scarlet Devil Mansion and often stands on the side of the monsters.
Therefore, people suspect that she is not a human from Gensokyo, but a person from the outside world, or even another world.
Therefore, even Shukou rarely encounters Sakuya Izayoi.
“I came here this time because of the order from Miss Remlia.”
“They… how many burgers do they want this time? How many chicken rolls? Today I can change some ingredients and proportions, and change the taste. As for cola and other carbonated drinks… I plan to replace them with fruit juice.”
“Why? Those carbonated drinks tasted good to me.”
“How should I put it in a simple way… the acidic components in carbonated drinks will make the surface of teeth fragile and easily damaged, while the sugar will become food for bacteria in the mouth. The bacteria will break down the sugar into acidic substances, further aggravating tooth erosion and promoting the occurrence of tooth decay.”
As a chef, Zhou Guang has a lot of knowledge about the health benefits of food ingredients.
“The problem with teeth…”
“But Miss Remlia and Miss Flandre shouldn’t have cavities, right?”
He is a vampire after all.
Do vampires with cavities really exist?
Zhou Guang couldn’t help but glance at Wuzhi.
If you get a chance, take a closer look at her teeth next time.
It can be said that Shuguang, who was daydreaming, was brought back to reality by Izayoi.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, I hope you don’t serve those fast foods this time. Since this is a dinner party, so… it would be great if you could make food that retains the fast food style.”
“It’s a bit difficult…”
“I’ll have to trouble you in this regard.”
Izayoi Sakuya doesn’t want her master to eat fast food every day.
Even if it tastes really good.
“Okay, I’ll do my best. So how many people should we prepare? Remlia, Flandre and Patchouli. And what about that lazy guard?”
“Please make it together.”
Zhou Guang accepted the commission.
Having finished her work, Sakuya Izayoi is also preparing to leave and go back to report.
Before leaving, she glanced at Wuzhi.
“Excuse me, young lady, but if the leaf in your hand were seen by the miko of Hakurei Shrine, they might mistake you for a criminal who sprayed everywhere.”
After saying this, Shizayoi walked out of the restaurant and went back to report.
Wuzhi looked at the leaves, then looked at Izayoi outside.
“The criminal… Is the ‘shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine’ mentioned by the maid powerful?”
Now, Kagami no Kirie is full of curiosity about “Fantasy Township”.
Chapter 26: The teased Wuzhi and the second lady of the Scarlet Devil Mansion who raided the restaurant! (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 26: The Teased Kirie and the Second Miss of the Scarlet Devil Mansion who Attacked the Restaurant! (Please give me flowers! Collect!) Illustrations and text
Are the shrine maidens at Hakurei Shrine powerful?
If we put this question to “Fantasy Township”, I believe many people will have only one answer.
Reimu Hakurei is quite powerful.
In particular, the red and white urban management staff should make every effort to seriously resolve the abnormalities.
So, Zhou Guang, who was selecting ingredients in the kitchen and preparing dinner for everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, said with a smile.
“It’s not a question of whether she’s powerful or not. She really is a very special person…”
“I don’t understand. I’ve been to the shrine by chance after school before, and there’s nothing special about it.”
“The shrine maidens in the outside world are completely different from the shrine maidens in ‘Gensokyo’ and cannot be used as a reference.”
Reimu Hakurei and Sanae Kofukudani have long since departed from the category of ‘ordinary people’.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this.”
After picking up the mist branch with rainbow leaves from outside and throwing it into the trash can, a new topic is started
“You look like you’ll be very busy tonight, can you handle it alone?”
“No problem. I’ve done orders for larger quantities before.”
“Really? Who is the maid who gave you the cooking commission just now?”
“A maid in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and her master… is the vampire of Gensokyo – Remlia Scarlet.”
“Is it really a vampire?”
“There is no such thing as a fake replacement.”
Hearing Zhou Guang’s affirmative words, Wuzhi’s eyebrows moved slightly.
She was lost in thought, as if she wanted to say something.
Without disturbing Wuzhi, Zhouguang selected the ingredients to be used tonight.
Based on past experience, after a simple analysis of the personalities, hobbies, and work content of everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Zhou Guang came to the conclusion and planned to prepare five completely different dishes.
However, there are still a few hours before dinner time, so it only requires some preliminary preparation and it can’t be said to be too busy.
Welcoming new customers during this period will naturally not be a problem.
Wuzhi, who had been silent just now, seemed to have no answer, so she turned her attention to the coffee and muffins in front of her.
The familiar ringtone rang again.
A customer wearing casual clothes and with his hair tied up appeared in the store.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Zhou Guang, I am sorry to bother you.”
“Ms. Nanase, welcome.”
Nanase Ren took a seat at the counter with a smile on her face.
She quickly noticed the ingredients placed around the kitchen.
“It looks like there aren’t many customers today. The ingredients…”
“Most of them are for orders tonight, so now I’m just taking them out and preparing them. Miss Nanase can just place an order for whatever you want to eat. I’m not busy.”
Nanase Ren picked up the menu.
She decided to try the snacks in the store today.
“I’ll have a vanilla pudding and strawberry mousse, please.”
“I have a few days off these days. What about Mr. Zhou Guang? Will he have his own rest time too?”
“Usually once a week.”
That is, a ‘single dinner’.
After Shuguang finished speaking, Nanase hurriedly asked
“May I ask when the next break will be?”
Before Zhou Guang could answer, Wuzhi, who was standing by the window, became restless.
She coughed softly and then deliberately raised her voice
“Refill.”
“Hold on.”
Zhou Guang put the ingredients for making pudding and mousse aside, picked up the coffee pot and walked to the window.
The vampire girl who was standing there saw Zhou Guang approaching and deliberately muttered
“She looks like a delicious woman.”
Hearing this, Zhou Guang raised his lips and filled Wuzhi’s coffee cup while saying
“Ms. Nanase is indeed a good woman. Her straightforwardness is much better than that of a girl who says one thing and means another.”
“Zhou Guang, who are you talking about?”
“No one in particular.”
If it were on the Internet, Zhou Guang would probably send a picture called ‘anxious.jpg’.
But the girl in front of him is a customer, and he is the owner, so he should be polite.
“To be honest, Zhou Guang, your extraordinary cooking talent will definitely reach a higher level if you get my help.”
“I’m going to go make some snacks for Miss Nanase.”
“I want one too.”
“Just stand in the back.”
“Obviously I was here first.”
Wuzhi crossed her arms across her chest and put on a serious expression.
“Orders must be placed in order.”
“Then I am also chasing home orders.”
“It counts, but I’m still behind Miss Nanase.”
Zhou Guang frowned as he looked at Wuzhi.
Zhou Guang thought that he had done enough and stopped teasing the girl in front of him. Instead, he added:
“Because Miss Wuzhi ordered a lot today, there will be special snacks later. Please wait for a while.”
“Really? Special, that’s good…”
After hearing this, Wuzhi showed a satisfied attitude.
Even though he’s a tsundere vampire who’s lived for hundreds of years, he’s not that difficult to deal with.
After refilling Kirie’s cup, Shuguang returned to the restaurant and began to prepare the snacks that Nanase Ren wanted.
The restaurant became quiet as a result.
Nanase Ren stared at Shu Hikari seriously as he cooked;
Wuzhi looked at the two people inside and outside the kitchen from time to time.
By the time Zhou Guang had finished preparing the snacks, the door was pushed open roughly.
“Here I come!”
A petite figure was standing at the door of the restaurant. Her name was Flandre Scarlet, the second lady of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Chapter 27 Vampire + Vampire! Bonfire Mist Branch VS Flandre! ? (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
Flandre Scarlet –
A vampire and a magical girl, about 495 years old, the younger sister of Remlia, the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
However, despite her identity as the younger sister of Remlia, the Lord of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, due to her unstable emotions, her freedom of movement is usually restricted by the residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and she is not allowed to go out easily. She herself does not plan to go out.
The reason is very simple: it is because it will not be exposed to sunlight, and someone will deliver meals to you, so it is very comfortable to live in.
But there are always exceptions.
As a vampire, Flandre’s favorite food is naturally blood.
But she got a quick meal from Izayoi a few days ago.
Izayoi said, “This is what the young lady shared with you. It contains three hamburgers and two cups of Coke.”
Generally speaking, vampires do not consume anything other than blood.
Even if the shape has changed, it is just something made of blood that looks like ‘cake’ or ‘black tea’.
As a result, after Flandre took a bite of the burger out of curiosity, she was shocked.
The soft bread slices were filled with round meat and green vegetables that had a strange taste and texture.
In the middle is a red, sticky sauce.
One bite, two bites, the flavor becomes richer.
why is that?
Obviously, apart from blood, I have never thought that anything is “delicious”.
This aroused Flandre’s great curiosity.
So she decided to take action.
The dungeon door lock is meaningless to Flandre and can be easily broken.
So she sneaked out of the door in the morning, took her parasol, and overheard the conversation between her sister and Izayoi.
After understanding the arrangements behind, Flandre hid herself, waited for Izayoi to go out, and followed behind him.
Soon Flandre saw a restaurant located in the woods.
It goes without saying that the hamburgers must have been bought there!
Flandre was patient and waited for Izayoi to leave before heading to the restaurant after a while to find out what was going on!
This is Flandre’s ‘Restaurant Adventure Chapter 1’.
And now, the second chapter begins——
Zhou Guang was a little surprised when Flandre suddenly appeared.
She seldom goes out on weekdays, and her daily life is taken care of by the maid.
Coupled with the restrictions that Remlia placed on her, under normal circumstances she would not allow this emotionally unstable “little girl” to go out.
But the facts are right before our eyes.
Flandre, who has a pair of mysterious wings shining with seven colors and a dazzling golden short hair, is standing at the door of the restaurant, looking inside with an umbrella.
The next moment, Flandre, wearing short-sleeved shirt and mini skirt, walked into the store confidently.
Flandre repeated the words she had just spoken when she opened the door.
Then I entered the store and immediately locked my eyes on Zhou Guang in the kitchen.
“You are Shu Guang, right? The one who delivered takeout to our Scarlet Devil Mansion.”
“To be precise, I only make the food. I am not the one delivering it. However, I am planning to hire a group of Tengu to help me deliver the food.”
In “Gensokyo”, the most suitable delivery people in Zhou Guang’s mind are the group of Tengu.
First of all, there are more of them, and secondly, they have good flying ability.
Although I have thought about kappa and goblins, most of them are not very reliable…
At least the Tengu still have a sense of contract.
Except for the occasional Yamyoumi Maru who deliberately fabricates news.
Bringing his thoughts back to the present, Zhou Guang looked at Flandre again.
The Scarlet Devil Mansion had long since settled down in ‘Gensokyo’, and Flandre had naturally grown, but her personality was unlikely to change in a short time.
Therefore, in the following conversation, it is best not to provoke this ‘little guy’.
“It doesn’t matter who sends it, what matters is who makes it!”
“Thank you Miss Flandre for your love.”
“I really like it, especially the red liquid in the burger.”
“It’s ketchup, but with some of my special spices added to it.”
“I don’t really understand… Anyway, it’s delicious, so I want you to go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion and be our chef!”
Flandre spoke bluntly.
Nanase Ren, who was sitting at the counter, stared at the little girl who suddenly appeared, with only confusion on her face.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, is this little girl lost?”
“This is the vampire from ‘Fantasy Town’.”
“Vampires… As expected, there are many things in this world that I don’t know.”
After Nanase Ren finished speaking, Kagami no Kirie, who was originally sitting in her seat, could no longer sit still.
She is also a vampire, and she has previously asked Zhou Guang to become her exclusive chef.
So she joined the conversation rather bluntly.
“Little girl, before you invited me, I had already made this invitation to Zhou Guang. It’s not your turn yet.”
“Who are you……?”
Flandre turned away.
Her jewel-like pupils narrowed slightly.
“The smell of blood… You are dangerous.”
“So what about you? Shuko said you’re a vampire from ‘Gensokyo’?”
“Yes, my sister and I settled here!”
“Really? You don’t look that strong. You just held up a parasol, but you’re still afraid of the sun.”
After saying this, the Firewood Branch exploded
“I am a vampire just like you, but I am not afraid of the sun. It’s obvious who is better, right? You might be the ones who were abandoned by your race in the past.”
“Who are you talking about? Are you provoking me? I don’t hate stupid challengers!”
Since they were inside a restaurant, Flandre, who had already avoided the sun, put down the parasol in her hand.
She took a step back and prepared to fight.
“Mr. Zhou Guang…”
Nanase Ren looked at Shumitsu worriedly.
“blacklist.”
Zhou Guang smiled and looked at the second lady and Wuzhi
“Who among you wants to be on my blacklist?”
Chapter 28 Wuzhi and Flandre compete for the state light, and the red and white city management officers come in (ask for flowers! Collection!) (old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 28: Wuzhi and Flandre compete for the state light, and the red and white city management officers come in (please give flowers! Collect!)
Mist Branch of the Bonfire, a vampire who has lived for three hundred years, is not afraid of sunlight or silver;
Flandre, a vampire who has lived for 495 years, has the ability to destroy anything.
In addition to the common point of the ‘vampire’ race mentioned above, the two of them had previously invited Zhou Guang to become their exclusive chef.
It was for this reason that the conflict broke out between the two sides.
But before they could take action, Zhou Guang, who was removed from the “blacklist”, successfully prevented the fight.
Neither Wuzhi nor Flandre hopes to not be able to eat the food of Shuguang Restaurant in the future.
“It’s good that there’s no fight…”
As a spectator, Nanase Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Guang also pulled the curtains on one side of the hall and invited Flandre to sit down.
“Have a glass of orange juice first, Miss Flandre.”
“No more Coke?”
“Yes, yes…”
“I want to drink that!”
…
Okay.
Zhou Guang changed a cup of Coke for Flandre.
Hope she doesn’t become a ‘carbonated addict’.
Then he went to clean up the empty plate in front of Kagami Misty Branch and whispered
“Don’t provoke that kid.”
“I just told the truth.”
“Since we are all vampires, let’s get along well.”
“You’re not surprised at all, but that’s normal. There must be more strange guys in this place called ‘Fantasy Township’.”
After revealing her identity, Kagami Kirie also calmed down.
To be honest, if a conflict really breaks out between the two, the result is obvious: Flandre will win.
There is no way, Wuzhi’s skill points are all in another aspect——
That is, in terms of loving each other.
“Mmm~ It’s delicious, this is the taste.”
Flandre sat on the sofa, swinging her legs as she couldn’t reach the ground, and happily drank the ‘Fat House Happy Water’.
I always feel like she’s getting closer to a useless angel named Gabriel…
After returning to the kitchen with the things, Nanase Ren secretly glanced at Flandre in the shadow in the corner.
“She looks like a little child. Will she attack humans and suck their blood?”
“This is how vampires survive, but I can guarantee Miss Nanase’s safety.”
“Mr. Zhou Guang, too. Please be careful.”
Nanase Ren thinks this restaurant is magical, but also somewhat dangerous.
In the kitchen, Shu Guang also quickly completed Nanase Ren’s order, and took the time to give Flandre and Kirie a drink and a snack on the way.
The door of the restaurant was pushed open again.
This time it’s the famous red and white city guards of ‘Gensokyo’.
Following behind her was Tengu Reimu Marufumi holding a camera.
“Zhou Guang! Here I come!”
Reimu Hakurei ran into the store and looked around.
“Reimu? Why are you here?”
“It was this Tengu who told me that a vampire from the Scarlet Devil Mansion came to the restaurant, and he said he was worried that there might be problems.”
Scanning the scene, Reimu quickly spotted Flandre.
But the latter was drinking Coke and eating cake obediently.
“Oh my… the situation is different from what I imagined.”
Reimu Marufumi, who followed over, scratched his head.
With a bang, Reimu gave Wen a knife attack.
“I was cleaning the warehouse, and you kept urging me to come over, but nothing happened…”
“I didn’t see your shrine when I first went there, but I looked around and found yours. The matter must have been resolved by Mr. Shuguang!”
Reimu Hōmeimaru, covering her head, made a loud deduction, which was actually pretty close to her guess.
Facing a familiar person, Flandre put down the cake in her hand and pointed out the window.
“Sister and Izayoi will be here soon, because we are holding a dinner party here.”
“Yeah?”
After hearing what Flandre said, Reimu walked straight over to Nanase Ren and sat down.
She picked up the menu
“Anyway, I can do the work of tidying up the warehouse at the shrine later. I’ll just stay here until you close the shop today.”
“The shrine doesn’t need to be looked after?”
“I asked Suika to stay there, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”
Reimu, who understands Shukou’s worries, mentions Ibuki Suika, but this name only makes her more uneasy.
Who knows what kind of tricks a drunkard will play at the shrine…
“Me too! It looks like tonight is going to be very interesting!”
Reimu Maru Bun also decided to stay.
The restaurant suddenly became lively.
The second lady of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, a vampire from another world, the shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, and the Tengu of the Youkai Mountain.
Plus Nanase Ren who came to enjoy the holiday…
In fact, this situation is quite rare.
Although Zhouguang’s restaurant is popular, it is rarely full.
“Everyone, chat. I’m going to start preparing for the dinner party commissioned by the Scarlet Devil Mansion. As for the other orders, please make a decision. I will divide the processing according to the production time.”
“Can I help you?”
Nanase Ren suddenly spoke.
After she entered the hospital as a trainee nurse, she lived alone and was naturally responsible for her own cooking.
“No need, Ms. Nanase, this job is actually quite easy.”
Zhou Guang smiled back, opened the packages of various ingredients, and started busying himself in the kitchen.
Reimu Maru Fumuya seized the opportunity and began to interview the relatively unfamiliar Kirie.
Since the two talked about ‘vampires’, the sensitive Reimu also came over.
The shrine maiden of Gensokyo doesn’t want another ‘Red Mist Incident’ to happen again, so she naturally has to investigate the vampire Kirie thoroughly.
Even if we cannot gain a thorough understanding, we must ensure that it will not affect the stability of Gensokyo.
In this lively atmosphere, Shuguang prepared the dishes leisurely.
Days like this are Zhou Guang’s daily routine…

Chapter 29: Scarlet Devil Mansion comes to team building, Patchouli reveals the secret of Zhou Guang’s identity?! (Part 1) (Old version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 29: The Scarlet Devil Mansion Comes to Team Building, Patchouli Reveals the Secret of Shuguang’s Identity?! (Part 1) Pictures and Text
Before the guests from the Scarlet Devil Mansion arrived at the restaurant, Zhou Guang was multitasking to take care of the next few orders.
With great skill and perfect arrangement, he began to prepare various dishes at the same time.
This ability made Nanase Ren very impressed.
Because when Nanase Ren worked in the hospital, as a nurse she always received various requests from patients.
Just to avoid making mistakes, you have to try your best.
At this time, after interviewing Kirie, Reimu Fumi returned to her original seat and sat down, intending to revise some of the notes.
This made Nanase Ren curious and asked
“Miss Wen, what is the specific situation of the guest you just interviewed who claimed to be a vampire?”
“Well… she didn’t reveal too much, but there are some characteristics that make people quite concerned.”
“What do you mean?”
That…
Reimu Marufumi raised the pen he was using to edit the content and pointed at the sun that was gradually setting outside the store.
“The vampires in ‘Fantasy Town’, the sisters in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remlia and Flandre, are both afraid of sunlight, but Miss Kirie doesn’t have this weakness.”
“I did hear her say that just now.”
“Right? Vampires are not afraid of sunlight, which is completely different from the vampires in ‘Gensokyo’. This makes me quite curious. Unfortunately, the other party is unwilling to disclose other information.”
Having said this, Reimu Maru Bun spread out his hands, expressing helplessness.
Nanase Ren secretly glanced at Kirie by the window. She was explaining something to Reimu Hakurei.
Turning around, Nanase Ren came up with only one answer:
“I don’t really understand this aspect of things, but the world is different, and the abilities and weaknesses are different. I think it’s quite normal.”
“That’s true, but I want to find out the reason. Maybe it’s the food I eat? Or my lifestyle? Once I have the answer, I can publish a news article titled ‘The Secret of Gensokyo Vampires Revealed’. It will definitely sell like hotcakes!”
Reimu Hōrōbun began to imagine the future.
For her, it was fantasy time.
After a while, Hakurei Reimu separated from Kirie and came to the seat in front of the counter.
Zhou Guang in the kitchen asked
“How is it going?”
“That vampire lady has no idea what a ‘mutation’ is, and has no interest in causing trouble for Gensokyo. The only reason she stayed in the restaurant was because of Mr. Shuko, so there’s no problem.”
After Reimu finished speaking, she stared at Zhou Guang with a suspicious look on her face.
“Mr. Zhou Guang didn’t do anything to her…”
“I just provided delicious food.”
“Well…I can understand this.”
This reminded Reimu of the day when he first met Shuguang…
Seeing that there was no trouble, Zhou Guang returned to his work.
The restaurant was relatively quiet during this time, with the occasional sound of Flandre tasting cake and drinking Coke.
Not long after, the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared, and the sky of “Gensokyo” was replaced by a starry night.
The residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion are also about to come to the restaurant for team building.
At almost the same time, at the edge of the misty lake, Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Izayoi Sakuya stood at the bottom of the stairs in the main entrance hall, waiting for the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion to appear.
A few seconds later, Sakuya looked up and saw a petite figure appear in the corridor on the right.
Remlia Scarlet, known as the ‘Scarlet Devil’, walked down the stairs.
Her short light blue hair was like the clear sky, and her scarlet eyes were like burning flames. Even though she was wearing a pink dress and a pink hat, it did not affect her elegance and majesty at all.
At least that’s what it looks like…
“The burgers before were really delicious.”
Remlia spoke up.
She looked down at Sakuya below and changed the subject.
“You told me earlier that Flandre followed you secretly and entered the restaurant, right?”
“That’s right, Lady Remlia.”
“At first I wanted to bring her back immediately, but if Fran could get used to the public space of the restaurant, maybe her strange personality would change.”
Because of this reason, Remlia did not immediately ask Sakuya to bring her sister back.
alright!
The time is almost up.
Remlia looked out the window at the scenery of ‘Gensokyo’ swallowed by the darkness, and decided to go out at this moment and go to Shukou’s restaurant.
I had only heard of Zhou Guang’s name before, but had never seen him in person.
This is the advantage and disadvantage of ordering takeout.
I don’t know what the restaurant environment is like.
However, according to the evaluation of the miko and magicians who occasionally visit the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Shuguang and the restaurant are regarded by them as the ‘best store manager and the best store’.
Walking down the stairs to the hall, Remlia looked to the left.
There a slender figure walked out slowly.
The pink hat with ribbon and the iconic crescent moon ornament appeared first, followed by its owner, Patchouli Noreki.
At this moment, Patchouli was holding a bag containing the magic book in her left hand and a ball she had made a few days ago in her right hand.
“You’re awake, Patchouli. I was going to ask Sakuya to wake you up.”
“I woke up earlier.”
“You seem to be in good spirits.”
“It gave me some help.”
Patchouli slightly raised the ball in her right hand.
“What is that?”
“A device that detects spatial magic.”
“Yeah, I don’t quite understand, but we’re going to a restaurant to eat next, are you sure you want to take it with you?”
Patchouli nodded.
She values ​​time so she brings these things with her so she can study anytime and anywhere.
Seeing this, Remlia thought for a moment and then looked outside.
“Then let Meiling come along, she’ll get the things for you.”
Everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion immediately left their residence.
Under the starry night sky, stroll along the path, and at the end of the path is Zhou Guang’s restaurant.

Chapter 30: Scarlet Devil Mansion comes to team building, Patchouli reveals the secret of Zhou Guang’s identity?! (Part 2) (Old version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 30: The Scarlet Devil Mansion Comes to Team Building, Patchouli Reveals the Secret of Shuguang’s Identity?! (Part 2) Pictures and Text
The door of the restaurant was gently pushed open, and the night breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants rushed into the store.
With darkness as the background, everyone from the Scarlet Devil Mansion came to Shuguang’s restaurant.
The moment she saw them, Flandre immediately ran towards her sister.
“Sister! You are too late!”
“You still dare to complain? You ran around without my permission. Do you really think I don’t know?”
“I’m here to investigate on behalf of my sister. I can confirm that the cake is delicious and the Coke is tasty.”
“I’ll spare you tonight…”
After patting Flandre’s head, Remlia brought Izayoi to the counter.
Nanase Ren, Reimu Yumemaru, and Hakurei Reimu, who were originally sitting nearby, had already moved to the west side of the restaurant, only one booth away from Kirie. At this moment, they were staring at the people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Among them, Wuzhi had the most serious expression, and she was probably carefully observing the vampires of the same race as herself.
Ignoring the gazes of outsiders, Remlia first placed the gold coins on the table.
“Excuse me, boss. We’ve ordered takeout from you before, but this is our first meeting.”
“Hello, I’m Zhou Guang. Thank you for your previous orders. It’s quite fresh to make some fast food occasionally.”
“I am the master of the Scarlet Devil Mansion – Remlia Scarlet.”
Remlia then introduced her maid, Sakuya Izayoi, whom she had met once before.
“I, I, I! I’m Hong Meiling! The food you sent a few days ago was really delicious! Your cooking skills are really excellent!”
The lively Hong Meiling said this and bowed with both hands to show her admiration.
At the end of the team, Patchouli, who had retrieved her belongings, nodded to Zhou Guang.
“Pachuli Noreki…I’m sorry to bother the owner tonight.”
“No trouble.”
After a brief chat, Zhou Guang invited everyone to take a seat.
The location was at the booth where Flandre had just had her meal.
Before the people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion could warm up their seats, Reimu Fumi, who was in the same dining area with Nanase Ren and Kirie, ran over to Patchouli.
“The Scarlet Devil Mansion is coming together to patronize a human shop? This is big news. And, Patchouli-sama, can I see the ball you brought? It feels quite special!”
Creak…!
The harsh sound of the dagger rubbing against each other was heard.
Sakuya showed the weapon in her hand.
“Miss Wen, do you want me to make a special ‘shut up package’ for you?”
Patchouli asked Sakuya to calm down.
Seeing this, Remlia raised her right hand, signaling Sakuya to follow her instructions.
Patchouli, who didn’t mind sharing, laid out the balls.
“So round.”
As Flandre sighed, Patchouli explained
“I named it ‘Star Vein Probe’, and it is used to detect the distortion of space magic… But even if I tell you, you won’t understand.”
“What about magic power… Even if I’m not a magician, can I check it? For example, I don’t know magic, but I can use the power of Tengu.”
“The fairy maids of the Scarlet Devil Mansion used it before. Even if they are not magicians, they will show the strength of the power they touch with different brightness.”
“Can it be considered a ‘combat power calculator’?”
“I don’t think it’s such a simple analogy.”
The rigorous Patchouli rejected Wen’s explanation.
Wen, who was very curious, looked left and right, then rubbed his hands and said with a smile:
“Can I pick it up and examine it?”
Wen got started immediately.
The moment it touched the sphere, the light gradually became stronger.
Wen sighed softly as his power was detected.
“Is it the same down there?”
Lifting his head to see the ball called ‘Star Vein Probe’, Wen planned to take a look at the bottom, but his hand slipped…!
“ah!”
Reimu Maru was in a panic and didn’t have time to catch it.
Zhou Guang, who brought water from the side, easily caught the ball with one hand.
In an instant, a dazzling light flashed in the restaurant.
“Wow!!”
Flandre covered her eyes.
The same was true for Nanase Ren and Kirie who were not far away.
Among all the people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, only Remlia was watching the “change” that was happening.
When the light faded, Patchouli rubbed her eyes and stared at Zhou Guang in disbelief.
“It can make the ‘Star Vein Probe’ burst out with that kind of light…”
Patchouli stood up and walked towards Zhou Guang
“Manager… the magic power you possess must be outrageous. Even I can’t make the ‘Star Vein Probe’ emit that kind of light, so what exactly are you…?!”
Shocked, Patchouli couldn’t think of an answer.
On the other hand, the article that caused the trouble started to set the tone.
“Oh! Big news! The restaurant owner’s magic power far exceeds that of a sage-level magician! The title is “The Kitchen God’s Counterattack”!”
“Such a noise! ​​You bastard.”
Reimu, who had arrived, grabbed Wen’s arm and dragged her back to her previous seat.
At this moment, Zhou Guang also put the “Star Vein Probe” developed by Patchouli back to the base.
“I’m just a restaurant owner, please don’t mind me.”
“If that were the case, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be a magician anymore…”
There was no way Patchouli could forget what had just happened.
But Remlia is different.
“Paqiuli, put your curiosity about the boss aside for now. Boss Zhou Guang must have extraordinary strength, but before we talk about these, don’t forget the purpose of our trip.”
Everyone from the Scarlet Devil Mansion came to the restaurant for team building just to taste the same delicious food as before.
Zhou Guang quite agrees with this.
“The food prepared for you has already been prepared. I will serve it up right away.”
Rather than proving how powerful his magic is, Zhou Guang would rather show how good his cooking skills are.

Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 31: ‘Strategy’ for the Scarlet Devil Mansion! Everyone Became Captive by Food! (Please give me flowers! Collect!) Picture and Text
There is no peace in Gensokyo, either during the day or at night.
For example, the elves fighting in various places, the monsters fighting for territory in the Monster Mountain, the ghosts running into the human world to play…
This is especially true in the restaurants opened by Zhou Guang.
There are a lot more customers visiting the restaurant today than in the past.
Nanase Ren who intends to see the customers of this world;
Prepare to learn about Misty Branch, a fellow vampire;
Yumeiwanfumi who always wants to make a big news;
Reimu Hakurei stayed in the restaurant to avoid trouble.
There were also people from the Scarlet Devil Mansion who came to the scene for team-building.
For Shuko, the highlight of the night was the food he prepared for the guests of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
He brought dishes of different styles, types and flavors to the table one by one.
The first thing that caught my eye was the seafood risotto that was specially made for Remlia.
Although this dish is rice-based, it is a far cry from your average fast food.
The red devil shrimps carefully selected from the deep sea are steamed and then put into the pot and slow-cooked with spices and vegetables until every grain of rice has absorbed the rich seafood broth.
In order to add a touch of nobility, Zhou Guang also sprinkled a few pieces of gold foil and embellished it with lemon peel, making the whole dish look like a work of art.
Seeing the exquisite food, Remlia’s eyes suddenly lit up, and her dignity disappeared…
“Nice smell.”
Remlia couldn’t help swallowing.
As for the lively and active Flandre, Zhou Guang chose the ‘Mini Grilled Meat Platter’ to attract her attention.
“So much meat!!”
Flandre’s platter includes a variety of carefully selected small cuts of meat, such as beef, pork and lamb.
Each piece of meat is marinated to perfection and then grilled over charcoal, giving it an attractive caramel color.
In order to make this dish more interesting, Zhou Guang also served several different dipping sauces on the side, such as sweet and spicy sauce, ketchup, etc., so that Flandre can freely match it according to her own taste.
“For Miss Patchouli’s side, I chose something with a lighter flavor.”
Zhou Guang turned to the magician.
This time I prepared a ‘Vegetarian Pasta Salad’ for her.
The salad is made with whole-wheat pasta, fresh vegetables, and a small amount of cheese.
Top it with homemade low-fat sour cream sauce for a healthy and delicious meal.
Moreover, Zhou Guang knew Patchouli’s physical condition, and choosing such a combination could not only provide adequate nutrition, but also avoid triggering Patchouli’s asthma attacks.
Among the Travelers, Sakuya Izayoi…
“Ms. Izayoi’s dish is ‘French potato gratin’.”
“French?”
“For a country, this is the production style over there.”
The dish served to Izayoi was seasoned with cream, cheese, and fresh herbs, with sliced ​​potatoes stacked on top and baked in the oven until golden and crispy.
This method preserves the original flavor of the potato while giving it a unique taste.
The last one left, Hong Meiling, stayed aside. She was drooling as she finally saw her dinner.
“This is ‘special flavor tacos.’
“oh oh!”
“It contains shredded chicken, black bean puree, and guacamole. Is that okay with Miss Meiling?”
“Eat it all! Eat it all!”
Hong Meiling nodded repeatedly.
Zhou Guang then handed it over.
This dish was chosen because corn tortillas are portable and easy to eat.
In order to add some exotic flavor, Zhou Guang also sprinkled some chili powder and lemon juice on it to make the taste richer and more diverse.
Not only these, Zhou Guang also made some common popular dishes.
For example, fried rice, fried noodles, omelette rice, chicken soup, etc.
“It’s different from the takeaway I ordered before, but I’m sure it’s delicious.”
Remlia tasted it first.
It is also the first compliment.
“tasty!”
No other comments.
Simple and direct.
Speak your mind.
No fancy words are needed;
There is no need for complicated language.
The deliciousness of the dish can be described in just a few words.
Seeing this scene, Shemingwan couldn’t help but raise his right hand
“Boss Zhou Guang! I want a midnight snack!”
“Me too……”
Reimu Hakurei couldn’t help herself either.
Unlike them, Nanase Ren only ordered a glass of juice and a bowl of hot chicken soup to take away.
Kirie, who had been a spectator, was staring at the people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Zhou Guang, who took the order, took the time to walk over to Wuzhi.
“Are you still not going back? The guests of the Scarlet Devil Mansion aren’t that special. In Gensokyo, they are more like hermits who are called ‘vampires’.”
“I told you I won’t be back so early.”
Wuzhi persisted stubbornly.
Shuguang did not order the guest to leave, and returned to the kitchen to prepare what Wen, Reimu and Nanase Ren wanted to eat.
As a result, at the beginning, I heard a shout from Remlia.
“It’s too late to eat it all, make me another one! Manager!”
“Me, me too!”
Flandre quickly raised her hand.
Even the reserved Izayoi and the quiet Patchouli are like this.
“Count me in!”
Hong Meiling shouted loudly, with chicken shreds still left at the corners of her mouth.
Zhou Guang is going to be busy this time.
But for him, being busy is not a bad thing.
At least on this night, he successfully conquered the girls of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Chapter 32: A moonlit night in Gensokyo, his and their cocktail party (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
The night in Gensokyo is especially beautiful.
The starry sky looks like a jade plate sprinkled with gems, attracting noisy monsters and night-wandering humans to stop and watch.
The cold, silvery moonlight enveloped the earth unrestrainedly. In the sea of ​​trees covered with a layer of silver gauze, the warm lights of a restaurant illuminated the woods that were originally filled with only fireflies.
The wooden wall outside the door bears traces of time, and the broken eaves prove that it has been affected by an accident.
But no matter what kind of crisis or problem it is, it has not affected its normal operation.
The same is true tonight.
Everyone from the Scarlet Devil Mansion came to the store to recommend the dishes, and the dishes specially made for them received unanimous praise.
After eating and drinking, the childish Flandre gradually began to look sleepy.
Seeing her drowsy appearance, Hong Meiling held the second young lady in her arms.
“Lady Remlia! Since Lady Flandre is already tired, let me take her back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion!”
“That’s true. Fran hasn’t been this active for a long time.”
Remlia looked ahead, where there were three plates, all of which had been eaten by Flandre alone.
“Wow…Coke…carbonated water…teeth…crackling…”
Flandre seemed to fall asleep quickly after closing her eyes. Now she is dreaming about something and is mumbling strange words.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the store lowered their voices.
Hong Meiling bowed to Remlia and Zhou Guang, then set off on her journey home with Flandre in her arms.
The ones who stayed behind were the master and servant of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Leaving her seat, Remlia walked towards Zhou Guang.
“Now that everyone is well fed and well drunk, it’s time to start the second round. Manager Zhou Guang, what do you think?”
“How can you say that…”
Clap your hands.
Izayoi Sakuya took out a bottle of fine wine from a casual package.
“Have a drink with me, Manager Zhou Guang.”
“Let me see the current situation…”
Zhou Guang scanned the scene.
Nanase Ren had just left with the takeaway. Kirie, who stayed behind, had not placed an order, and Reimu Hakurei and Yume Yume had already filled their stomachs.
Perhaps there will be no new guests tonight.
When Zhou Guang thought of this, Reimu, who was not far away, scratched his head.
“As expected, it has become like this. Zhou Guang, it’s okay if you don’t want to agree. Vampires will become very energetic at night, so it’s okay if you don’t accompany them.”
“Hehe, Hakurei’s miko, I plan to invite you as well. Besides, I have some leftover fine wine at home, and I can send some to your shrine for free next time.”
“I’m not going to be bought off by a few bottles of wine.”
“Several boxes.”
Free wine silenced the Hakurei shrine maiden.
“Anyway, it seems like we’re the only ones here tonight, so let’s have a drink!”
Reimu Marufumi held up the notebook in his right hand, probably wanting to take this opportunity to dig up more news.
Not only them, the frail Patchouli also plans to participate.
Her reason is simple
“I want to talk to Zhou Guang.”
“Oh well.”
The store will close soon, so it’s nice to have a drink occasionally.
When Zhou Guang agreed, Remlia looked at the mist branch not far away.
“We are of the same race, would you be interested in having a drink with me?”
“Why are you…”
“The aura on your body is nothing special to ordinary people, but in our eyes, it is very obvious.”
Are vampires attracted to each other?
Zhou Guang came to this conclusion in his mind.
After that, Izayoi Sakuya moved a round table outside the house under Remlia’s order and with Shumitsu’s permission.
The nights in Gensokyo are not cold at all, but rather have a warmth that feels like late spring or almost summer.
Zhou Guang and the restaurant guests each brought a glass of wine.
“cheers!”
Remlia and Reimu Marufumi sang the same tune.
Everyone raised their cups and clinked them together.
A clear and crisp sound echoed in the woods at night, and everyone’s drinks were then emptied out.
Zhou Guang hasn’t drunk for a while.
The wine from Scarlet Devil Mansion has a spicy taste.
“Cough cough cough…”
Reimu Marufumi, who was not used to the taste, started coughing.
Wuzhi, who is also a vampire, has glowing eyes.
Her evaluation is just one
“Right? We are of the same race, let’s have another drink.”
Wuzhi also became cheerful instantly.
But after Izayoi filled her second glass of wine, he brought up the previous topic.
“Before you came, the little girl named Flandre, your sister, proposed to Zhou Guang the idea of ​​’becoming the exclusive chef of the Scarlet Devil Mansion’. But everything is based on first come first served. If Zhou Guang wants to leave the restaurant, my manor will be his first choice.”
“Oh? Are you competing for Boss Zhouguang? I’ve tasted his cooking tonight, and I won’t give in so easily.”
“Me too.”
“Haha, this night is beautiful, why not have a battle?”
Remlia’s eyes flashed red.
As the object of contention, Zhou Guang decided to stop them and looked at Wuzhi.
There’s no other way… Leave her alone after this and have a good talk!

Including the monthly tickets and reviews, it seems that the updated chapters have accumulated to more than ten chapters now. Today I will try to update throughout the day and make up as much as possible~!
Chapter 33: The arrogant and venomous Wuzhi, Zhou Guang; Hakigui deserves love! (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
After Zhou Guang used the “blacklist” to prevent the conflict between Remlia and Wuzhi, the cocktail party continued –
One cup down;
After two cups,
After three cups;
The collection of wine brought by the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion is truly intoxicating.
The first drunkard to fall was Reimu Marufumi, who was thinking of making a big news.
Tengu’s pupils turned into circular eyes like those in the comics. He lay on the ground with his limbs spread out, muttering illogical words such as “Zhouguang, magic, ball, Patchouli” etc.
Seeing her in such a miserable state, Reimu Hakurei, who was in the fourth cup, chuckled.
“Humph, the Tengu of Youkai Mountain are indeed incompetent, so I advise you to stay on the mountain and don’t mess around in the future.”
After saying this, Reimu put down the cup.
“I actually have work tomorrow. I have to finish cleaning up the warehouse and sweeping up the shrine.”
“Does that mean you’re leaving?”
“Yeah, Zhou Guang, there shouldn’t be any problem here.”
Hearing Shukou’s question, Reimu Hakurei glanced at the vampire Remlia who was drinking under the moon.
At first she was worried that the people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion would take some extreme action against the restaurant, but now it seems that she was overthinking.
Reimu shook her head to sober herself up, then grabbed Reimu’s legs and took her away in a rough manner.
“Okay, I’ll throw this Tengu into the entrance of Youkai Mountain, you guys can drink slowly first.”
“See you next time, Hakurei’s miko.”
Remlia raised her glass in farewell.
“We’ll talk about it when we’re destined to.”
The next moment, the red and white priestess dragged the drunken Tengu and disappeared into the night.
After they left, Patchouli took a small sip of her drink.
She stuck out her tongue, totally unaccustomed to the taste of alcohol.
Facing this cute and weak magician, Zhou Guang asked
“Would you like me to get you a drink?”
“No, I would rather Mr. Zhou Guang answer my question.”
“Is it related to the ball from before?”
“Yes, the magic power detected… Mr. Zhou Guang must have been a legendary magician in the past.”
Zhou Guang, like everyone else in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, is also an outsider.
That’s why Patchouli asked this question.
This question caught the attention of Remlia, Sakuya Izayoi, and Kirie.
It can be seen that they are all interested in Zhou Guang’s past.
But Zhou Guang had no intention of discussing this in detail.
Sitting back in his chair, Zhou Guang smiled.
“I haven’t learned any magic. Is the light emitted by the sphere due to some other reason?”
“Haha, no matter how the owner denies it, your strength is unquestionable, and your cooking skills are excellent. It’s a pity that you are unwilling to accept my invitation.”
Remlia joined the conversation with a look of regret on her face.
“My restaurant is always here, and you are all welcome to come often.”
As the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remlia has regarded the restaurant as an ‘important place’.
The maid on the side also seized the opportunity and poured wine for Zhou Guang again.
However, Zhou Guang, who had already drunk five cups, declined the maid.
“Don’t bother Miss Izayoi. I’ve had enough fun at the party tonight and don’t plan to drink any more.”
Although Zhou Guang was not drunk at all, he still had things to do next, so it would be better to drink less.
Izayoi nodded and took the wine back.
“If there is a chance in the future… I would like to ask Mr. Zhou Guang to assist me in some research on magic. Is that okay?”
“Miss Patchouli’s research on magic must be very complicated. I may not be able to understand it.”
“Don’t worry about those issues.”
“In that case, if I have time, I will go back to see Miss Patchouli.”
“It’s a deal.”
“Well, it’s a deal.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wuzhi, who also put down his wine glass, looked at Remlia, who was also a vampire.
“How did everyone from the Scarlet Devil Mansion get here?”
“It’s inconvenient to talk about the past, it’s very boring anyway. What about you, sir? You are a different world customer of Manager Shuguang, which proves that the original world is completely different from Gensokyo, right?”
“My world… there’s actually nothing to talk about. It’s also pretty boring.”
“It seems that we have reached a consensus on this.”
The two vampires did not intend to look back.
All they have to do is look forward.
The chat and cocktail party went on in a smooth manner.
Half an hour later, Izayoi picked up the groggy Patchouli, and followed Remlia who had said goodbye, and walked towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
When they left, their backs disappeared into the night, Wuzhi, whose cheeks were already flushed, smiled softly.
“The vampires in this world are just like this. Instead of associating with them, you should come to my manor.”
“It seems that Miss Wuzhi is a little drunk.”
“So what? I advise you to think carefully about your previous rejection of me.”
Hearing Wuzhi say this, Zhou Guang felt that what he thought was right.
She was indeed drunk…
The wine stored in the Scarlet Devil Mansion can even make monsters drunk, so it is understandable that Kirie, a vampire from another world, has no resistance.
Thanks to this, her tsundere and sharp-tongued personality was also brought to the fore.
“Your cooking skills are excellent, but you can still become even better. What do you think? Do you want me to give you another chance? The owner of a small restaurant.”
The silent Zhou Guang smiled.
His current mood, as described by netizens, is – a Haki (blood-sucking) vampire who deserves love!
Chapter 34: After the tavern banquet, Zhou Guang punishes Wu Zhi (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 34 After the Tavern Banquet, It’s Time for Shuguang to Punish Wuzhi (Please give me flowers! Collect!) Illustrations and text
More than three hundred years.
The Hatchet Mist Branch has lived through a period of time that is extremely long for a human being.
In her eyes, life in the human world is very boring.
Even when I tried to have some fun as a student, the results were no different.
But by chance, she saw a door that suddenly appeared in the corner of the courtyard wall.
An ordinary door, but one that has a curious allure.
Bonei no Mist Branch couldn’t help but push it open, and finally saw a new world.
Although it is a small restaurant, it packs a huge punch.
Because it is connected to another dimension, a dimension called ‘Fantasy Township’.
According to the store manager, in “Gensokyo” live powerful monsters, terrifying demons, gods believed by everyone, and so on.
To Wuzhi, all this was like the fantasy books in her study.
The name “Fantasy Village” is quite fitting.
However, what really surprised Wuzhi was the manager’s cooking skills.
Wuzhi once hired top chefs and stayed in hotels that were rated as five-star hotels.
But when those foods are put into the mouth, they are tasteless and it is not a pity to throw them away…
I thought the dishes made by the young man in front of me were the same.
Wuzhi only regards the restaurant as a stopover to “understand Gensokyo” and explore the new world.
It turned out to be the ‘final stop’.
Because she wanted to stay here and taste the food made by Shuguang.
Especially after eating the delicious food served by Zhou Guang, the unprecedented experience from the stomach and tongue turned into a shock to the taste buds and spirit.
It was as if the originally gray sky was swept clean.
Or maybe it’s like spreading a rainbow on a colorless tablecloth.
A feeling that had never occurred before instantly filled my brain.
This is an emotion I have never felt before.
Excited?
curious?
Or… lust? Desire for exclusivity?
It obviously couldn’t happen so easily.
After all, Wuzhi knew very well that she had only met Zhouguang for half a day.
But it was during this period of time that she had an inexplicable desire.
So when he heard that the vampires in ‘Gensokyo’ also planned to invite Shuguang to be their chef, he couldn’t help himself.
Something had to be done.
Several plans emerged in Wuzhi’s mind.
But there are uncertainties.
In the end, all we have to do is continue the frontal attack!
And this night is the best opportunity for Wuzhi!
Just make Zhou Guang fascinated by himself.
But before starting this plan, I have to go through a cocktail party.
I persisted for several hours, so this amount of time is not a problem.
Kagami no Mist Branch is quite confident in herself.
In the end, she still underestimated the collection of wine brought by the vampires from ‘Fantasy Town’.
It has a strong smell and a mellow taste, but it can also easily make people drunk.
Wuzhi became confused.
After Zhou Guang sent away the people from the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Kagami no Kirie realized that the opportunity had come.
Even though he is not conscious, he still plans to seize this opportunity!
Maybe Zhou Guang is not sober because of the alcohol…
So!
Take action!
Kagami no Kirie began her plan to capture Shukou.
kindness!
A hint of coolness woke Wuzhi up.
She opened her eyes and saw the dark night outside the window and the parrot on the iron frame.
【Bundle! Bundle! Bundle!】
After saying this, the parrot left the scene and flew out the window, flapping its wings.
Only after that did Wuzhi realize that she was sitting on the ground with her hands tied up with a towel.
My hands felt sore from being raised above my head.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Wuzhi looked around again.
This should be the bedroom, and I was tied to the foot of the bed.
Even so, Wuzhi still doesn’t quite understand the current situation…
“Are you finally sober?”
Zhou Guang walked out of the bathroom in the room.
He looked at Wuzhi who was tied to the foot of the bed, and squatted nearby.
“I don’t like to use this kind of method, but… there are exceptions. Miss Wuzhi’s sharp tongue is not a good habit. I think it is necessary to correct it.”
“So you just tied me up with this guy?”
“Humph, I don’t need you to correct my habits. Besides, I can solve this problem myself.”
After saying this, Wuzhi used both arms to try to break free, but it was of no use.
“This towel is made of something special. It was purchased from the workshop at Humanity Village.”
“Really? You are indeed resilient… Then what are you going to do? This ‘correction method’ is useless!”
“Ms. Kirie just needs to promise not to clash with the Scarlet Devil Mansion in the future.”
“Using the ‘blacklist’ to warn is not your method? This is unreasonable now, so… you have other purposes, right?”
Wuzhi licked her lips.
She smiled evilly
“If you change your way of correcting me, I can accept it, Zhou Guang~”

“But no matter what method you use, the prerequisite is that you have the courage.”
With his hands tied and the whole body leaning against the foot of the bed, Kagami no Kirie had a disdainful smile on his face.
She maintained her superior attitude and said venomously again
“Or do you dare not do anything and just pretend to scare people?”
“I don’t dislike those who are tough on others, because after the ‘uniform’, the contrast will be very interesting.”
“It’s still uncertain who will win, Mr. Zhou Guang.”
“I wouldn’t do this to ordinary customers. Miss Kirie is a special case tonight. After all, I don’t want to see you and the people from the Scarlet Devil Mansion clashing in the restaurant. As for the ‘blacklist’ you mentioned… well, I don’t actually have the intention of blacklisting Miss Kirie.”
When Kagami Kirie heard this, the smile on her face widened.
“Sure enough, Mr. Zhou Guang is also very interested in me. We appreciate each other. Isn’t this a kind of fate? If you are willing to be my exclusive cook, I can give you everything I have. How about it?”
“My interests are somewhat different from Ms. Kirie’s… so I can’t accept this proposal. But for this night, I can become your exclusive cook.”
While Kagano Kirie was confused, Shukou untied the towel that was binding her.
The moment his hands were free, Wuzhi felt a brief sense of weightlessness.
She was picked up and then thrown onto the bed roughly.
The soft touch makes the mist branch feel comfortable.
Knowing something, she gently touched the hem of her pretty black dress with her hand.
The girl’s slender legs, as white as jade, were displayed without reservation.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, I will make you fall in love with me.”
Just this one night is enough.
Zhou Guang raised the corner of his mouth and leaned over to the bed.
The two looked at each other and saw each other’s reflection in each other’s pupils.
The girl’s charming beauty and silver hair seemed to sparkle in the mirror.
Slowly raising his left hand, Zhou Guang gently touched the girl’s cheek.
Different from the warm body temperature of humans, it is slightly cold.
It’s like the wind on a summer night, taking away some of the heat and drifting away.
But the mist branch was nearby and couldn’t go anywhere.
Her cherry-colored lips were slightly pursed, and her pink cheeks were flushed.
It wasn’t shyness, it was vampire passion.
“Don’t regret it, Zhou Guang.”
“I think that’s my line.”
Zhou Guang leaned forward and pressed forward.
The so-called night activity is undoubtedly about cooking.
Just like making sashimi, the soft and tender white raw materials need to be patted and pressed in advance.
The accompanying rich soup is even more delicious.
Because after the intense taste stimulation, you need to use it to dilute the hot emotions and feel another kind of passion.
【Ahh? Happy? Happy! ???】
The parrot downstairs heard the shouting.
Repeating lines that he couldn’t understand.
Until the top of your head becomes quiet.
The second floor bedroom a few hours later.
Zhou Guang sat up and took a sip of the cold tea on the windowsill cabinet.
She turned to look to her side.
“Want to take a shower?”
“Mist branch?”
“I have no strength left…you can do whatever you want…”
Zhou Guang picked her up and walked towards the bathroom.
After a simple wash, Zhou Guang carried Wuzhi back to the room.
However, this time it was not in the master bedroom, but in the second bedroom which was rarely used and usually uninhabited.
The beds are clean and tidy, nothing weird.
“I’m going to sleep… I feel so tired…”
“That won’t do. I was just warming up before.”
“Huh? Just warming up? No, wait, wait…”
When Zhou Guang hugged Wuzhi’s slender waist, there was a noise outside the door.
The parrot is also shouting downstairs
[Suspicious! Bang! Bang!]Although there are monsters passing by the restaurant, once the people of Gensokyo know that it is run by Shuguang, they will not act recklessly.
So the current situation is a bit special.
“Zhou Guang, don’t you want to go outside and take a look?”
“I want to take a look…”
“I want to get some sleep too…”
Wuzhi wrapped herself in a quilt and then fell on the pillow.
Zhou Guang didn’t do anything else. Instead, he changed his clothes somewhat unhappily and went out.
As soon as I opened the door of the restaurant, I saw a panicked figure in the dark.
However, the man was quite agile and did not bump into any tree trunks even when he was moving through the complex forest.
Zhou Guang planned to call out to the other person.
“Hey, you…”
Hearing Zhou Guang’s voice, the man came into close contact with the tree trunk.
Before Zhou Guang could rush over, the other party immediately got up, swaying his body and flew deep into the woods.
Zhou Guang intends to find out the truth about this strange situation.
“What on earth is she doing…”
Zhou Guang murmured in confusion.
Because the figure I just saw was the monster nicknamed “Little Bonebreaker” – Mystia Lorela.
At the same time, Mistia is also the owner of the popular Night Sparrow Restaurant.
From another perspective, the two can be considered as colleagues.
Faced with colleagues who might encounter problems, Zhou Guang finally followed them.
Chapter 36: Night Sparrow Dining Hall and the Pharmacist from Eternal Pavilion, Yagi Eirin (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 36: Night Sparrow Shokudo and the Pharmacist from Eternatei, Yagi Eirin (Please give me flowers! Collect!) Illustrations and text
Mystia Lorela, a night sparrow monster, has the ability to confuse people with her singing.
Like some monsters that like to hide in dark night roads or deserted forests and disturb humans with their singing or shouting, Mystia would do the same occasionally.
However, because her singing voice is lively, people find it pleasant rather than confusing.
Unfortunately, Mystia, who formed a band with other monsters, did not achieve the achievement of “forming a band for life”. They were soon complained about for disturbing the public and eventually ended up disbanding…
Perhaps this is also due to the suppression by seniors in the Yokai music industry.
After all, to the seniors, Mystia’s singing was no different from noise.
In addition to the above deeds, Mistia would start running her own barbecue shop every night, mainly selling lampreys for treating night blindness.
Zhou Guang has also heard of the “Que wine” at her stall, which is said to make customers dance gracefully after drinking it.
But Zhou Guang had never seen it with his own eyes.
There’s no way. After busy work at the restaurant, Zhou Guang always enjoys his alone time and has no time to wander around.
Unless you are invited by the girls from ‘Gensokyo’.
Zhou Guang thought of this, tugged at his coat, and walked towards the depths of the woods.
The woods are not silent at night.
Occasionally, you can hear insects chirping;
Occasionally you’ll see birds flying;
Rumor has it that ghosts seem to haunt this area, causing the people in the “human village” to be afraid to play in the woods after dark.
Could it be that the foodie young lady from Baiyu Tower was responsible?
After Zhou Guang had a random guess in his mind, he heard some new noises.
It was the sound of a faint conversation.
Came along with the breeze in the forest.
Who could it be?
Zhou Guang quickened his pace.
A patch of messy grass appeared before my eyes.
Zhou Guang, who had excellent eyesight even in the dark, saw the package that had fallen into the bushes.
He reached out and picked it up, and smelled the scent of food that was being simply pickled.
How did it end up here?
Zhou Guang took it and walked over the grass and into the woods.
The source of the conversation became clear.
Looking closely, I saw that it was a barbecue shop located between two big trees.
Or should we call it ‘Night Sparrow Canteen’?
Zhou Guang walked over quickly, and the shadow behind him was gradually lengthened by the shadow of the stall.
At the same time, inside the stall——
Mistia, who had just returned here, was fiddling with the ingredients in front of her.
Her fingertips brushed across the mottled wood counter. The kerosene lamp swayed in the glass shade, casting her shadow on the cloth curtain behind her.
As soon as the third lantern in the Night Sparrow Restaurant was lit, fog began to fill the forest.
“Woo…”
After taking inventory, Mystia showed a troubled expression.
By this time, the lamprey was already sizzling on the iron net, and the fat was falling into the charcoal fire, raising green smoke.
Never mind, forget it for now…
Mystia decided to cheer herself up.
So she hummed a tuneless song while carefully preparing the food to be sold to the customers.
“There are new guests coming.”
In fact, a female customer had already sat down on the west side of the guest seat at the Night Sparrow stall.
Hearing her say this, Mystia couldn’t help but look outside the store.
A figure came into view.
This person is Zhou Guang.
He came to the stall and held up a package in his hand.
“Boss Yeque, this is what you dropped, right? After all, I found it nearby.”
“Ah! It’s mine! Those are the ingredients I’ll be using tonight…!”
“Then the question is, why did you appear near my restaurant just now?”
Zhou Guang’s question was not answered, and the woman who was already seated suggested
“Why don’t you sit down and talk?”
“That’s true…”
Zhou Guang agreed and sat down immediately, then looked over there.
The woman with silver-white hair was leisurely tasting the wine provided by Night Sparrow, but she had no intention of dancing.
Zhou Guang smiled slightly and greeted him.
“Isn’t this Miss Yagi, the pharmacist of Yongyuan Pavilion? Good evening, I’m Zhou Guang, and I opened the Linzhong Restaurant over there.”
Bayei Eirin, who came to the Night Sparrow Dining Hall, looked towards Zhou Guang.
She seemed to be thinking back to the past…
“Shuguang… I heard your name at Miss Bai Ze’s private school. Your restaurant is very popular. Miss Kaguya asked me to buy some food there before.”
“You are most welcome.”
“I don’t know what the price is, but Miss Kaguya has been secretly buying some things recently.”
“You can get a discount.”
“In that case, I’ll definitely go there if I have the chance.”
‘Eien-tei’ where Yagi Eirin worked became one of Shu-Guang’s potential customers.
Only then did Zhou Guang turn to the inside of the stall.
“So Miss Mystia, why are you near my restaurant? And you’re so panicked. Judging from the situation at the scene, you’ve already opened for business. As the boss, you shouldn’t be running around, right?”
“This… is actually the ingredients. I went to get the ingredients.”
“Then why are you so flustered?”
“because……”
Mistia fiddled with the barbecue and said
“I have a bad memory, but I know that Mr. Zhou Guang’s restaurant is very popular. If you see me nearby, it will be troublesome if you misunderstand me as eavesdropping on the cooking secrets. I, I don’t want to be an enemy of Mr. Zhou Guang!”
The little night sparrow in the forest looks really timid…
Chapter 37: Mistia feels relieved and meets the owner of Xianglin Hall by chance (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 37: Mistia feels relieved and meets the owner of Xianglin Hall by chance (please give me flowers! Collect!)
Mystia began to explain in detail everything that had happened before.
After she opened the shop, she welcomed her first customer, Bayei Eirin.
After all the ingredients were taken out and prepared one by one, Mistia realized after a while that some was missing.
“Originally, when I opened my shop, I would push my cart around Mr. Zhou Guang’s restaurant and go through the woods behind. Although this increased the distance, I didn’t have to worry about being noticed by Mr. Zhou Guang.”
“I did this because I was afraid that Mr. Shuguang would think I was a competitor who was trying to steal cooking secrets…”
“But I am a little curious. I often think to myself, ‘The restaurant in the forest is very popular, so the food must be amazing.’ But I have never taken any action.”
“After the restaurant opened tonight, I found that I didn’t have enough ingredients, so I ran home to get them. Since the route through the restaurant is the shortest, I didn’t have to take a detour like before.”
“As a result, I was so nervous that I made quite a lot of noise… Did I disturb Mr. Zhou Guang?!”
“Please don’t be angry, and please don’t compete with me! If Mr. Zhou Guang also stays open until late at night, I guess there will be no customers here…”
Mystia, who was timid and humble, with her wings folded up, had been avoiding the state light.
Zhou Guang’s evaluation of this is…
“Ms. Nightbird, Boss Mystia, please allow me to speak a word.”
“Well, please go on…”
“I’m not worried at all that you’ll steal my cooking secrets, because there aren’t any special secrets. It’s fine if you pass by the restaurant, so let’s just get along well from now on.”
“Huh? Really? Is this really possible?”
“I feel like you think I’m a weird person.”
“Please, please don’t misunderstand!”
“Why do you think so?”
this……
Mystia tilted her head.
Because she has a bird brain, she is very forgetful and can’t even remember the guests who came last night.
But she seemed to have thought of something…
“The newspaper. I think I’ve read it. The headline was ‘dominant’ or something else. Anyway, it was saying that Mr. Shuguang’s cooking skills were amazing and his restaurant was very popular. It could easily crush other stores in ‘Gensokyo’. I must have been included in it…”
“That’s just over-exaggeration, don’t worry about it.”
And it must be something that Reimuchi made up.
Zhou Guang did not label himself as the “number one chef in Gensokyo”.
“So that’s how it is. I can rest assured now…”
After saying this, Mystia brought the grilled lamprey to Bayi Yonglin.
Then the boss lady of Yeque looked at Zhou Guang with a relaxed expression.
“Excuse me, Mr. Zhou Guang, what would you like to eat?”
“What’s here?”
“The menu is on it. Grilled hagfish, boiled hagfish, deep-fried hagfish, etc. Ah… please don’t order the ‘grilled chicken skewers’, that’s the dish I want to delete. As for the new menu plaque, we’ll have to wait until Master Kappa of Yokai Mountain is free.”
“Will Mr. Kappa carve a new menu sign?”
“Yeah, and the price is very cheap! The shape is also very beautiful, I plan to wait.”
“I’m glad you remembered it.”
“I wrote it down on the cabinet.”
Mystia pointed to the left side of the barbecue stall, and there was indeed a notebook on it.
Glancing over the menu, ninety percent of it was hagfish dishes, the rest were ‘grilled chicken skewers’, pancakes, and boiled tofu that were not recognized by the owner of the Night Sparrow.
It’s a bit like oden…
Zhou Guang thought that since he was already here, he might as well patronize the place.
“Then give me a grilled hagfish and a glass of wine.”
“Okay.”
Mistia immediately got busy.
During this time, Zhou Guang asked the customer next to him.
“Ms. Bayi, why are you here at the Night Sparrow Dining Hall so late at night?”
“It’s a long story…”
Bayi Yonglin frowned slightly.
She took a sip of her wine and explained:
“To put it briefly, Miss Kaguya accidentally broke a tea set from Eternal Pavilion a few days ago. She secretly ran out to buy another set before I found out, but…she was cheated.”
Even though Kaguya Houraisan has lived in Gensokyo for a long time, she still seems to be a little “unworldly”.
“Not only was the tea set expensive, it was also made of cursed materials, causing the two rabbits to break their arms while cleaning. That’s why I went out to investigate until now.”
You mean Inaba-tei and Suzusen, poor Usagi…
Zhou Guang asked at this moment
“What was the result?”
Bayei Eirin shook his head.
“The shop owner who sold it to Miss Kaguya ran away the next day, leaving behind a letter mocking Miss. The content contained many adjectives such as ‘idiot’ and idiot’. If I showed her this, she would probably run around everywhere to catch people.”
Kaguya might be able to do it…
“It’s done.”
At this moment, Mistia brought up the grilled lamprey and wine that Zhou Guang ordered.
“Please enjoy your meal, Boss Zhouguang.”
“Why did you suddenly change to a strange name…”
“Because Mr. Zhou Guang is a legend in opening a restaurant, I will definitely learn from you in the future!”
“Just cook seriously, sincerity is the ultimate skill.”
After Zhou Guang finished speaking, he and Bayi Yonglin suddenly turned to the left outside the stall.
There was a figure in that woodland.
But the first thing that appeared was the light of the flashlight.
The person who held him was Morichika Rinnosuke, who had previously helped Shuguang open a restaurant.
Chapter 38: Fake Mutation?! Zhou Guang: No, this is a 3D printer (old version)
Morichika Rinnosuke is the owner of the antique tool shop “Kōrin-do” and is half human, half demon.
Possesses the ability to know the names and uses of items, and is interested in the world outside Gensokyo.
Therefore, Rinnosuke is good at turning useless tools from the outside world into something magical, and this talent of his has attracted the attention of many residents of “Gensokyo”.
When Zhou Guang first came to “Gensokyo”, as an “outsider”, he received help from Lin Nosuke.
Rinnosuke explained this as “it’s more for interest and to have someone to communicate with.”
After all, Shuguang knew a lot about things outside of ‘Gensokyo’, which made Rinnosuke quite interested.
But under normal circumstances, Zhou Guang rarely goes to see Lin Nosuke.
And Rinnosuke, who is quiet and reclusive, would not spend money at Shukou Restaurant. At most, he would ask Marisa to bring some takeout.
To sum up, on this night, in this woods, in front of this stall, Zhou Guang was inevitably a little surprised to see Lin Zhizhu.
“Ah! Yes, it’s a monster! The light monster?!”
Mistia hides during the day and works at night, so she has never seen such a new thing as a flashlight.
But her performance made Zhou Guang want to complain…
The monster that confuses passers-by at night was actually scared by the flashlight.
Maybe this is the power of modern technology? !
The flashlight is, at least at this moment, bigger than the Night Sparrow monster in Gensokyo.
“Don’t panic, I’m not a monster.”
Hearing Mistia’s scream, Rinnosuke, who was approaching, turned off the flashlight, smiled bitterly and sat down in a booth.
“Huh… not a monster?”
“Mori Chika Rinnosuke, this is my name. I run a second-hand shop located between Hakurei Shrine, Human Village, and the Magic Forest. However, Mr. Night Sparrow probably won’t come to my shop.”
“It seems… I’ve heard of it, I hope it’s not a scary monster.”
“Well… if we open a business in the deep forest, normally only monsters would come here, right? But today it seems to be completely different.”
Rinnosuke looked at Shumitsu, then at Bayi Eirin.
“Mr. Morichika, we meet again.”
The pharmacist from Eien-tei was the first to greet.
“Yes, Miss Bayi, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
The two greeted each other.
“Rinnosuke, are you acquainted with Miss Bayi?”
“I wouldn’t say we’re familiar with each other. This morning, Miss Bayi came to my shop to ask about the ‘teaware scam’, and I happened to have heard some rumors.”
“It’s not just the tea sets Ms. Yagi mentioned. In ‘Gensokyo’, many people have been deceived and bought fake goods that look very exquisite. For example, a stone statue that looks perfect was placed in a box at the beginning, so the buyer didn’t notice it until he opened it after buying it and found out that it was made of plastic. The weight is fine because there are stones in the box.”
Rinnosuke gave a simple explanation.
In “Fantasy Town”, there is a guy who sells high-quality counterfeit goods and cheats people everywhere.
One of the victims was Kaguya Houraisan, the owner of Eternatei.
After getting the answer, Zhou Guang asked another question
“Then why are you here suddenly? I’m chasing the owner of Night Sparrow, what about you?”
“This morning, I learned from Miss Bayi that the materials used to make the imitation tea sets were cursed. I also heard that ghosts would wander around this woods at night and randomly curse passers-by, so I decided to investigate. What if there is any connection?”
“You’re quite brave…”
“I have the ‘light’ in my hand, so it should be fine.”
“A flashlight is not an exorcist tool…”
“Indeed.”
Rinnosuke chuckled softly.
Mistia stared at the flashlight at the counter
“Is this thing called a ‘flashlight’?”
“Yeah, it glows with the flip of a switch.”
“It’s amazing.”
“In ‘Fantasy Town’, just glowing doesn’t seem to do much.”
After saying this, Rinnosuke took out two cups from his pocket.
They look exactly the same.
“Zhou Guang, can you help me take a look? These two are fake tea sets, both made of plastic.”
“Just to take a look.”
Zhou Guang took the cup.
After looking around, he moved his chin.
“Rinnosuke, help me shine the flashlight here.”
“kindness……”
After Rinnosuke turned on the light, Shuguang saw the “flaws” on the surface of the cup.
“It’s ‘Layered’.”
Layered pattern?
Boss Yaque, Bayei Eirin, and Morichika Rinnosuke all looked at Shuguang.
He then explained
“The so-called ‘layer pattern’ is one of the most typical shortcomings of 3D printing. I have played with it before, so I know a little bit about it.”
“3D printer… something out there?”
“Yes, you can copy some of the things you want. As long as you don’t observe closely, it’s easy to fool people.”
Things from the outside world occasionally appear in Gensokyo, but it is impossible for ordinary people to use them.
After getting this answer, Rinnosuke seemed to have some guess in his mind.
“I thought of someone… the girl who occasionally comes to the store, Usami Sumireko.”
But……
Rinnosuke continued
“I don’t think she would deliberately create a fake to deceive people. There must be a reason.”
“Go ask her when the time comes.”
Zhou Guang suggested so.
Bayi Yonglin, who listened quietly on the side, had only one thought.
“Please catch the criminal.”
The money that was defrauded was not a small amount for Yongyuanting…
Chapter 39: Wuzhi was put to sleep, and Usami Sumireko came to thank her (Please give me flowers! Please collect!) (Old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 39: Kirie is sleeping, and Usami Sumireko comes to thank her (please give me flowers! Please collect!) Illustrations and texts
If Shuguang is Shemingwan, then the record is as follows:
“The boss of Korindo investigates the shocking fakes that are spreading in Gensokyo!”
《Shock! The owner of Eternatei, Kaguya Horaiyama, was deceived as a fool! The reason is actually…! 》
“The late night chat of the Night Sparrow Dining Hall trio, what is the huge plan that will affect ‘Fantasy Township’? !”
However, Zhou Guang is not a reporter who likes to lead the rhythm, but he solved the problem somewhat coincidentally.
After telling Rinnosuke that the fakes were most likely made by a ‘3D printer’, the two chatted and drank with Bayei Eirin at Mistia’s stall.
The reception lasted for half an hour.
Rinnosuke said that he would ask one of the regular customers of the store, Usami Sumireko, later;
Yagi Eirin also planned to go back and explain things to Kaguya and wait for the final results of the investigation;
Zhou Guang once again reminded Mistia not to worry about a conflict with him, and then left the stall.
Back at the restaurant, Zhou Guang did not wake up Wu Zhi who had already fallen asleep…
Instead, I prioritized cleaning up the messy bedroom.
All bed sheets and quilts were changed;
He lifted up the fallen cabinet;
The wet balcony floor was also cleaned.
In addition to the crumpled carpet, Zhou Guang replaced all of these things.
After finishing it, Zhou Guang checked the time and returned to the second bedroom, hugging Wuzhi and falling asleep.
Until the next morning.
Feeling some warmth in his arms, he opened his eyes and saw Wuzhi had turned around and was staring at him.
Before he could say anything, his mouth was blocked.
When the kiss ended, Wuzhi blinked her eyes.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning. You have become much more forthright.”
Zhou Guang touched Wuzhi’s head.
Wuzhi showed her vampire teeth and chose to fight back, biting his palm.
“Straightforward? I just lost once, it doesn’t mean you are the real winner; if I hadn’t let you last night, how could it have ended so easily?”
“Is that so? Please guide me.”
“What, what are you doing!”
“What do you think?”
Zhou Guang grabbed Wuzhi’s arms and pinned them above his head.
“It’s still early, so maybe we can clean the second bedroom as well.”
After saying this, Zhou Guang covered the two of them with a quilt.
The door opened a little later today…
It was delayed by at least two hours compared to the original time.
Zhou Guang packed up the shop as quickly as possible and opened for business.
Just as he was counting the ingredients and planning to ask Wuzhi, who had just finished taking a shower upstairs, to come down for dinner, the door was pushed open.
“So fast…”
Zhou Guang looked towards the door.
She was a girl with glasses wearing a long dress like a uniform, a cape, and a witch hat.
She walked into the store and went straight to Zhou Guang.
“Hello……”
“Oh, good morning, miss.”
“I’m Usami Sumireko. Mr. Rinnosuke asked me to come look for you, and I wanted to say something myself.”
Usami Sumireko, the first president of the Secret Sealing Club, possesses the ability to manipulate supernatural powers.
This is the information Zhou Guang has.
However, what makes Usami Sumireko truly special is the fact that she can travel freely between the outside world and Gensokyo.
“Could it be related to the ‘fake’ that Lin Zhizhu mentioned earlier?”
Usami Sumireko nodded.
She then explained
“I occasionally bring things from outside to Mr. Lin Zhizhu, and it has been the same recently. But a few days ago, I met an uncle who gave me some materials and asked me to help him copy a few things. He said he wanted to use them as toys and painting models for children. I agreed without thinking too much, and the result was…”
“Turns out he’s a liar.”
“But how did that person know you can copy things?”
“Maybe someone else let it slip. I mentioned it to Reimu and Marisa, and I also gave them the printed props.”
Usami Sumireko thought of the above possibility.
“Since you are here, does that mean you have caught the criminal?”
“That’s right. I met with Mr. Rinnosuke early this morning and he told me everything. We immediately contacted Reimu and the others and finally found the guy in a barber shop in ‘Human Village’.”
“Who is that?”
“An unemployed vagrant who likes to wander around the ‘Wuyuan Tomb’.”
“So that’s how it is. Anyway, the problem is solved.”
“Thanks to Mr. Zhou Guang for recognizing it, otherwise I wouldn’t have thought it was caused by me and would have been kept in the dark by that guy.”
Not necessarily.
Shuguang shook his head and said as he poured water for Usami
“Once Rinnosuke showed you those printed plastic props, everything made sense. I was just mentioning it.”
“Even so, I am very grateful to Mr. Zhou Guang. If you want anything from the outside world, you can tell me.”
“What I want…”
None at this time.
But at this time Wuzhi changed her clothes and came to the hall from the second floor.
Seeing this arrogant and sarcastic vampire, Zhou Guang began to wonder whether he should use Purple Mood to teach her a lesson again.
But asking Usami Sumireko to carry that thing is obviously not reliable…
Zhou Guang threw away his distracting thoughts and replied with a smile.
“In that case, eat at my place and add some popularity.”
“Yes, I’d love to.”
Usami Sumireko nodded and prepared to enjoy breakfast at Shukou’s place.
————————————————
Thanks to all the readers, this book has received more flowers and comments than I could have imagined~
However, there are not many updates today! Please forgive me!
There are probably still ten chapters to go, and I’ll try to update them all before they’re put on the shelves.
Chapter 40: Do Androids Dream of Gensokyo? (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
Zongman: My Days as a Restaurant Owner in Gensokyo: Chapter 40: Do Bionic People Dream of Gensokyo? (Please give me flowers! Collect!) Picture and text
After changing her clothes, Wuzhi looked at Zhouguang making pancakes in the kitchen.
“I’m planning on going back. I still have some things to deal with over there, and that zombie butler is probably looking for me everywhere.”
“You’ve worked hard during this period. Please take good care of yourself next time you come.”
“Whose fault do you think it is?”
When Wuzhi heard Zhouguang’s answer, she said coquettishly with a smile.
Wuzhi did not stay in the store any longer. She turned around and walked towards the restaurant door, disappearing in the light.
Usami Sumireko, who was waiting for breakfast, took a sip of water after Kirie left and recalled the conversation she had just overheard.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, did that lady mention the word ‘zombie’? Could it be that ‘zombies’ exist in her world?”
“I’m not too sure about this, but as a vampire, it’s normal for her to have several non-human minions.”
When talking about this topic, Usami Sumireko became interested.
She looked around and confirmed that there was no one around and she was the only customer before continuing the conversation.
“Mr. Shuguang, I heard from Mr. Linnosuke that you seem to be a foreigner from outside of ‘Gensokyo’.”
“That’s right. In this respect, I, like you, originally lived in modern society. But to be more precise, it was the last time before that…”
Shuguang turned around and brought a pancake to Usami Sumireko.
This girl who has superpowers and can travel to “Fantasy Town” through dreams immediately became interested.
She picked up her knife and fork while thinking about how to continue the conversation.
Anyway, try the pancakes in front of you first.
So Usami Sumireko picked up the knife and fork, carefully cut off a small piece of the pancake, and looked at the soft inside. The faintly visible pores seemed to tell of its fluffiness.
She put this small piece of delicacy into her mouth, and first felt the slightly crispy outer layer, followed by the cloud-like softness of the inside.
The muffins themselves do not have a strong taste, but have a natural sweetness, which is the pure flavor of flour, milk and eggs after simple cooking.
“There’s maple syrup here, too.”
Zhou Guang pointed to the dishes beside him.
Usami Sumireko nodded, scooped up some maple syrup with a spoon, and slowly poured it over the remaining muffins.
The golden syrup flowed down the edges of the muffins in little streams of sweetness.
When she tasted it again, the unique aroma of maple syrup blended perfectly with the muffin, and every bite was full of rich layers of flavor.
“It’s quite delicious. No wonder when I occasionally run into Reimu and Marisa in Mr. Rinnosuke’s shop, they always mention Mr. Shumitsu’s cooking.”
“Satisfying customers is my greatest honor as a chef.”
Zhou Guang likes this kind of life.
Simple and fun.
Attracted by the smell, Usami Sumireko finished the pancake first.
With a satisfied look on her face, she drank up the water in the cup.
After eating and drinking, Usami Sumireko remembered the topic that she had been concerned about before.
“Oh, yes, Mr. Zhou Guang said that he originally lived in the modern world, so why did he come here?”
“I just find it interesting, or I can say I’m tired of the place where I used to live.”
“This way… I can understand it a little bit.”
Usami Sumireko is a person with super powers, and also a lonely one.
But she doesn’t think friends are redundant.
But that is only practicality from an intellectual perspective; the real idea is that friends are only beneficial to those who need them.
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that she can’t make many friends in the world she lives in.
Having said that, the school life that may seem “very miserable” to outsiders is quite fulfilling for Usami Sumireko.
Instead of wasting time on friends, try exploring more novel things.
However, these ideas changed after arriving in Gensokyo.
Experience is the truth of this world; knowledge merely serves to cover it up.
So here, Usami Sumireko gradually felt that making friends was not a bad thing.
“I feel a familiar feeling when I meet Mr. Shuguang in ‘Gensokyo’…”
“I think we can chat some time and talk about the interesting things about ‘modern society’.”
“At least electrical appliances are easy to use. For example, I only had to walk a short distance to get here by car.”
“It won’t do much for monsters, since they can all fly.”
Usami Sumireko smiled.
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden bang on the restaurant door.
And then again.
The door shook.
It is made of special material and will not be easily damaged.
But this collision was clearly not normal.
Seeing this, Usami Sumireko decided to go check it out.
Zhou Guang also left the kitchen.
As I walked into the hall, Usami Sumireko had already opened the door.
A figure rushed into the restaurant, staggered and fell to the ground.
This time Zhou Guang saw clearly the person who suddenly rushed in.
“Yorha 2B…”
The heroine of “NieR: Automata” is also a bionic person.
And now——
Zhou Guang didn’t know whether the androids would dream about Gensokyo.
But one thing is certain, she came directly to ‘Fantasy Town’.
Chapter 41 YoRHa 2B and the Restaurant in Gensokyo (Please give me flowers! Collect!) (Old version)
Sizzle…
The sound of electricity came from 2B’s legs.
In addition to the injured wound near the left knee, it was also contaminated with some flammable substance and was therefore burning.
Upon seeing this scene, Usami Sumireko took action immediately.
She used her super powers directly, aiming at the spot where 2B was injured.
One second later, part of the space was controlled by telekinesis!
The compressed area was deprived of air, and the flames were extinguished, leaving behind burn marks.
Usami Sumireko came closer and found that the part swallowed by the high temperature was not “burned”, but a mechanical structure under the skin-like structure.
Confused, Usami Sumireko looked at Shuko and pushed up her glasses.
“Mr. Shuguang… She doesn’t look like a human, or is it just her legs that have been modified? It looks like a metal structure.”
“Maybe it’s a robot from another world.”
Zhou Guang simply answered perfunctorily and picked up 2B who was lying on the ground.
According to official settings, the YoRHa intelligent robot like 2B weighs about 150 kilograms.
However, this weight was no problem for Zhou Guang, and he easily transferred it to the sofa in the booth.
It’s unclear whether there was some kind of internal attack, but now 2B hasn’t made much noise since breaking into the store.
It’s like it’s in hibernation…
“I hope there’s no danger… Should we tie her up first?”
Usami Sumireko looked at the ‘unexpected visitor’ in front of her.
2B is wearing a black gothic dress and black over-the-knee high-heeled leather boots.
Her short white hair was covered with dust and metal fragments, and the black eye patch covering her eyes made it impossible to see her specific appearance clearly.
Zhou Guang knew very well that the so-called black eye mask was actually designed as a standard military eyepiece, through which one could observe the surrounding environment with high efficiency and avoid attacks from corners.
Usami Sumireko, who didn’t understand these settings, took a step back.
“Anyway, we don’t know what her condition is, so we still have to be cautious.”
“That’s true.”
After all, there are many robots of the same model as 2B. Who knows who this one is?
“I’ll keep a close eye on her from now on.”
After Zhou Guang finished speaking, he seemed to clean up the gravel and iron fragments that had been splashed everywhere along with 2B when she rushed in.
I followed him and checked the gate.
Only the ‘Open’ sign was damaged, nothing else was affected.
“Mr. Zhou Guang! Mr. Zhou Guang!”
Usami Sumireko’s shout was heard.
Zhou Guang quickly turned around and looked towards the booth area from the door.
2B, who had been unconscious before, got up.
She immediately locked onto Usami Sumireko who was on the side, and was about to reach out and grab her weapon, but she didn’t get what she wanted.
Unaware of the current situation, 2B chose to jump back and create some distance.
But the injury to her leg caused her to stagger and fall heavily to the ground.
Halfway through, 2B tried to lean on a nearby dining table for support, but her weight was not enough to stabilize her, causing her to fall down along with the table.
Crash!
The menus and decorative vases on the table made noises.
“hateful……”
2B sighed.
“The pulse just now… and the trap… where exactly is this place?”
“It seems that you can communicate. Let me tell you first, if you continue to mess around in Mr. Zhou Guang’s restaurant, I will not be polite.”
“restaurant……”
After hearing Usami Sumireko’s warning, 2B on the ground begins to recall the past.
She was on her way to carry out a mission.
As a result, due to the incorrect information provided by her, she was attacked by a mechanical life form.
The first thing I saw was a large, crudely made pulse device.
Although the headquarters has added pulse-targeting functions to the bodies of frontline combatants, it cannot completely offset them.
Coupled with the large number of enemies, 2B was overwhelmed and was eventually forced into a dead end.
The body of the machine was unstable under the impact, and the legs were hit by bullets and burned by flames.
Just when 2B was feeling stuck, she discovered a door.
After a quick scan, she discovered that there was another space behind the door in the open space.
So with no other options, 2B decided to escape through the door.
Just as she made the decision, a round of bombing fell.
Regardless of friend or foe, just to destroy 2B.
2B jumped into the door with the help of the chaos and guessed that it was at that time that she lost her weapons and POD drone and came to this strange space.
“Don’t worry, we are not your enemy. If you really want to fight, we will not show mercy.”
Zhou Guang reminded gently.
2B didn’t notice anything unusual from what she just said.
His tone and heartbeat were steady, and he didn’t sound like he was lying.
“Excuse me…”
2B said, and tried to get up.
Zhou Guang saw this and walked over.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, be careful!”
After hearing Usami Sumireko’s reminder, Shukou helped 2B up again.
“Excuse me, here…”
“The restaurant I opened in ‘Fantasy Town’.”
“It seems that my visual system is correct. This is the restaurant…”
“Yes, but unfortunately, I don’t think I have any food to offer to the young lady.”
Zhou Guang made a joke.
He opened a restaurant in “Fantasy Village” and for the first time encountered a customer he couldn’t serve…
Chapter 42: Shemingwan saw the big news?! Zhou Guang commissioned the technology kappa! (Please collect flowers!) (Old version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 42: Reimu Maru saw the big news?! Zhou Guang commissioned a technology kappa! (Please collect flowers!) Picture and text
The world 2B lives in is actually very simple.
In “NieR: Automata”, which has an original game and an adapted animation, the Earth in the distant future is suddenly invaded by aliens.
They quickly created an army called “mechanical life forms” to conquer various places and fight against humans.
So faced with the overwhelming force of aliens, humans fled to the moon.
Later, in order to retake the earth, humans established a combat resistance organization composed of “combat robots”.
The ‘Yorha’ unit to which 2B belongs is a war weapon specially built to regain control of the Earth.
The truth behind this conflict…
When Zhou Guang thought of this, he heard some sound of mechanical collision.
After confirming that the restaurant was safe, 2B roughly tore open the damaged parts that had been damaged by weapons and burned by fire, intending to take out the twisted and broken pieces of iron inside.
“Wow…are you a robot? Or is only one leg modified?”
When Usami Sumireko saw that Shu Guang was so relaxed, she lost her previous vigilance and began to inquire about 2B’s specific identity.
This question made 2B pause.
She looked at the two people in front of her.
Since she hadn’t taken any hostile action when she was at her weakest, and had instead helped put out the fire in her legs, 2B decided to reveal some information to prove that she wasn’t an enemy.
“I’m YoRHa 2B, a general-purpose combat robot sent by humans as a member of the infantry regiment. I was fighting those ‘machine life forms’, and after falling into a trap, I saw this restaurant…”
“You’re a robot? Or a ‘mechanical life form’? Hmm… there aren’t many terms, but the amount of information seems to be quite large.”
Although Usami Sumireko was confused, her interest increased greatly.
She probably knew that the world 2B lived in was completely different from ‘Fantasy Town’ and her own ‘outside world’.
“Um… Miss 2B, can I call you that?”
“The name is the same as the code name, but now is not combat time, so any name will do.”
“Okay, I just heard you say ‘mechanical life form’, and it seems a little contradictory. Aren’t machines just machines? Why are they called ‘life forms’?”
“The reason why ‘mechanical life forms’ are called this is because after our investigation, we found that they have the ability to self-repair, restore themselves, and grow. They can even autonomously produce new machines, just like a brand new life that has completed self-evolution. This is also one of the important reasons why they are threatening.”
“Wow, in other words, it’s a mechanical lifeform that can reproduce? Then… how is 2B-san in this regard?”
“Me? I can’t reproduce.”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
Usami Sumireko quickly waved her hand to deny it.
She went on to explain
“It may be a bit rude to say this, but if Miss 2B is also a robot… do you have true self-awareness?”
“What is ‘true self-awareness’? I am only acting to carry out my mission, and everything I do is also in service of this mission.”
“From this perspective, Miss 2B is thinking independently while taking action, and then choosing the best option.”
“I don’t mind that.”
2B doesn’t care about what ‘self-awareness’ is.
2B did not continue the conversation and continued to clean her damaged leg.
“Oh my god!!”
There was a new noise at the door.
A regular customer of the restaurant and a Tengu reporter from Gensokyo, Yumeimaru, who wanted to make a big news, appeared at the door.
She first leaned half of her body in and looked around.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen the door wide open, and it’s already 10 o’clock and there’s no ‘Open’ sign. It’s so strange.”
“Wen, what are you doing here?”
“Mr. Zhou Guang, we are guests after all! Apart from that, I was also worried about being robbed! You know, the ‘Human Village’ has not been peaceful recently!”
Reimu Marufumi enters the store.
The first thing she saw was 2B repairing his leg.
The exposed steel structure at the wound site gleamed under the indoor lights.
“Eh? A left leg made of steel?! Strange guest! Can I take a picture?”
As soon as Reimu Marufumi took out his camera, he was glared at by Shuguang.
“You can take pictures later, hehe.”
“You came through the gate…it’s not a deserted area, right?”
2B asks Reimu Marufumi for details.
The latter nodded
“No, I came from the forest over there, and on the way I taught a lesson to a few fairies who were running around with frozen frogs.”
“Different worlds… space jumps, be careful of wormholes?”
Various assumptions popped up in 2B’s mind.
At this time, Zhou Guang thought of someone.
“You are not my little brother.”
“Eh? Isn’t it? Whenever I get into trouble I always use my big brother’s name.”
“Stop kidding, I need you to find someone.”
After Shuguang finished speaking, Reimu Marufumi agreed without even thinking about it.
“Leave it to me! Who do you want to find?”
“Kappa, the one who likes to develop contracts. Kawajo Hodori.”
“Oh, it’s her. I don’t like Kappa. Although she occasionally makes big news, most of them are experiments in various places in the ‘Monster Mountain’. One time, Xiaotang fell into the ‘weird bubble trap’ she made.”
Inuzouko often patrols the Youkai Mountain, so it’s understandable that he would run into trouble…
Zhou Guang, thinking this in his heart, urged
“Anyway, go call her over first and have a look.”
“It’s not impossible. I’ll go right away.”
Reimu Marufumi left the scene immediately.
After listening to the conversation, 2B asked curiously
“That Kawajo Hodori is…?”
“Just think of her as the ‘technical monster’ of ‘Gensokyo’.”
With that kappa, maybe 2B’s problem can be solved.

Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 43 Tengu vs Kappa! Shuguang’s name has become a nuclear weapon?! (Please collect flowers!) Picture and text
Monster Mountain, Xuanwu Stream.
This is a famous kappa habitat.
Because everyone gathers here to live, chat and party, a Kappa society has gradually formed.
Normally, apart from exchanging techniques, everyone would stay together and make their favorite props, or create items that the client wanted.
You should know that the common feature of Kappa is that they are dexterous and possess superb skills that are difficult for humans in Gensokyo to understand, so they often create all kinds of new gadgets on behalf of people.
However, the kappas’ techniques are generally only released to certain monsters.
If there were no restrictions, there would probably be a lot of trouble in all parts of Gensokyo.
In addition, the products they sell are also subject to warnings from the Hakurei shrine maiden.
Although the Kappas shouted “Kappa patents and Kappa technology cannot be violated or restricted”, after hearing the words “Want to eat a round of Dream Born?”, they all nodded obediently, indicating that they would definitely not cause any trouble.
However, in the past few months, a legend has begun to spread among Kappa…
It is said that the owner of a popular restaurant in the woods near ‘Human Village’ is planning to develop ‘Kappa Soup’.
In “Gensokyo”, there are indeed news reports about monsters eating people and demons committing crimes.
But there aren’t many terrifying beings that specialize in cooking with monsters…
Among these kappas, Kawajo Hetori, who has become increasingly popular in recent days and is known as the ‘Kappa Genius’, wants to investigate.
But a month has passed and she still hasn’t taken any action.
Back to the present, Kawajo Hetori, who claimed that he wanted to find out whether the restaurant owner cooked kappa, stayed near his home and, like an experienced technician, began to dismantle the artificial object in front of him, and then reassembled it after studying its structure.
For convenience, Kawajo Hedori would put his tools inside his clothes.
Before he knew it, Kawajo Hedao’s canvas bag and clothes were filled with all kinds of tools, materials, fuel and mysterious substances.
After completing the disassembly, He Cheng He took out the new tools and began to talk.
“Would you like to try making magic items recently?”
Thinking of this, He Cheng Hedou wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared to put the things in front of him back together.
The nearby bushes were parted.
A kappa ran out from the other side in panic.
The moment she saw He Cheng He Dao, she shouted
“run!”
“What?”
call out!
The panicked Kappa ran away.
Just when He Cheng He Dao was feeling confused, there was a noise above his head.
The figure began to dive, bringing with it a terrifying airflow that swept across the scene from top to bottom!
Woohoo!
Parts flew!
What are you doing!
He Cheng He held down his hat and looked at the person who created this chaos.
“You are… Reimu Marufumi… the Tengu who always talks nonsense! How dare you come to our Kappa territory!”
One of Kappa’s greatest enemies, Tengu, appears, and Kawajo Natori is ready for a fight!
It seems a bit messy…
Reimu Marufumi, who arrived at the scene, held a round fan in his hand and stared at the kappa in front of him.
Kawagi Hodori is a petite girl with blue hair and blue eyes. Her hair is tied into two ponytails, and she wears a green sun hat and a blue exploration suit.
The most obvious feature is the huge blue canvas bag she carries on her back.
I really want to know what’s in it.
Thinking so, Reimu Marufumi directly stated his purpose.
“You have a commission, so I’m here to take you there.”
“Who wants to go?”
He Cheng He Qu naturally did not agree.
She stuck out her tongue and slapped her body with her hands.
After a snap, Kawajo Hedo’s figure disappeared.
“I know this. Didn’t you tell someone about it before? It’s called ‘optical camouflage invisibility’ technology? But it doesn’t work on me.”
After saying this, Shemingwan waved his hand.
The round fan in his hand created a strong wind that swept across the scene.
Although Kawajo Hedori became invisible, his real body did not disappear, so he was blown away in the next moment.
Before she could react, the wind suddenly changed and carried the kappa into the sky.
Reimu Marufumi, who thought he had figured out the problem, also flew up.
“I know you’re still here, stop hiding!”
“snort!”
Kawaseong Hedori removed the optical camouflage.
She said confidently
“I stopped being invisible, not because I thought I would lose! It’s just to make it easier for others to aim!”
“What are you aiming for?”
“Hehe! This is the Kappa’s stronghold!”
When He Cheng He Dao heard what he said, there was some movement coming from below.
Confused, Reimu Maru looked towards the ground.
In the bushes, a cannon was pointed at the sky.
“Fire! Fire! Reflex! Aim at the Tengu and shoot!”
When Kawajo Hedori shouted, the kappas responded one after another.
The cannons were fired simultaneously.
The muzzle roared and various bullets were fired from it.
There is slime, fire, ice, and even glutinous rice balls and iced watermelon…
“Woooooa …
Reimu Hōmei, who protected himself with a gust of wind barrier, felt like he was in the center of the storm.
Seeing that things were not going well, she quickly added loudly
“It’s not my commission! It’s the commission from the restaurant owner! It’s Zhou Guang! You know him, right?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of artillery fire below suddenly stopped.
In the air, Kawajo Hetori widened his eyes and asked anxiously.
“Is that… Zhou Guang?”
“That’s right, you…”
Reimu Maru threatens
“You don’t want to be made into kappa soup by Mr. Shuguang, do you?”
“also?!”
“But if I accept the commission, I will exclude you from the list.”
Using Shuguang’s name as a weapon, the kappas, including Kawajo Noritori, instantly calmed down…
Chapter 44: He Cheng He Qu: Lord Zhou Guang, please forgive me! (Please collect flowers!) (Old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 44 Kawajo Hodori: Lord Shuguang, please forgive me! (Please collect flowers!) Picture and text
After Shuguang asked Reimu Marufumi to go to Youkai Mountain to find Kawajo Noritori, he quickly began the repair work.
Usami Sumireko helped to tidy up the tables, chairs and benches in the restaurant, while Shumitsu threw away all the dust, debris and broken business signs and replaced them with spare ones.
After completing these tasks, 2B, who had already cleaned up all the debris from the damaged area, asked curiously:
“Why would you help me… If a stranger suddenly breaks into my area, I will definitely catch him first.”
2B is a warrior, a soldier, and she is cautious enough.
But here, her experience may not be useful.
Usami Sumireko’s explanation for this is
“I was thinking of tying up the unconscious Miss 2B at first, but after that, you would surely attack me once you wake up.”
“If my movements are restricted, I will have to fight back to ensure my own safety.”
“It seems that Mr. Zhou Guang’s suggestion is correct. He does not regard Miss 2B as a dangerous person.”
2B’s eyes fell on Shumitsu who was in the kitchen.
She looked at Zhou Guang through the eye mask, which was actually a military eyepiece.
“Mr. Zhou Guang talked to me earlier and seemed very calm, as if he had seen such a scene before. He is definitely not an ordinary person.”
“Whatever you think, this is a restaurant, so I don’t want a conflict to break out, that’s all.”
“I will not let this trust down.”
“I never thought a robot could repay a favor.”
“It’s a logical move because I think this is likely to be a key point in the success of the plan.”
A door suddenly appeared, and a restaurant in another world connected by the door.
2B never thought that something like this would happen to her.
But now it has really happened to me.
“You two…what exactly is this world called ‘Fantasy Township’ like?”
“To put it simply, it’s a special place where humans, monsters, ghosts, and spirits coexist.”
“I can understand humans, but the ghost tribe mentioned later… According to the information I have, they only exist in stories created by humans. But in this ‘Fantasy Town’, they really exist…?”
“That’s right, the person who just came in is a Tengu, who can fly freely in the sky.”
Usami Sumireko mentioned the previous Tengu reporter, Yameimaru Fumi.
2B was shocked as she digested all this information.
After all, for her, the world she lives in… the world occupied by “mechanical life forms” no longer belongs to humans.
“Anyway, you can be at ease here. There are no enemies that will threaten you.”
“Thank you very much…”
2B leaned against the back of the sofa, trying to digest all the information she had acquired.
After a while, Reimu Marufumi appeared with the kappa that Shukou wanted to entrust.
She picked up her Reimu Maru and placed it on the ground.
As soon as he landed, He Cheng He Qu, who hadn’t even stood firmly on his feet, ran to the door of Zhou Guang Restaurant and sat down perfectly there.
“Lord Zhou Guang! Please forgive me!”
“……???”
Zhou Guang was confused.
He didn’t dwell on it, but pulled the kappa up from the ground and brought her to 2B.
“I asked you to come here because I wanted to ask you to inspect this young lady.”
“Huh? But… Ugh! Wait! Let me see!”
Kawajo Hedori was confused at first, but after seeing the damaged parts of 2B, his attitude immediately changed.
She stared at the delicate structure of 2B’s exposed legs and instantly closed the distance between them.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, she is…”
“The Kappa mentioned earlier has very good skills in ‘Gensokyo’.”
“So we want to entrust her to do the repairs?”
“Let’s see if she can do it.”
After Zhou Guang finished speaking, He Cheng Hedao put down the backpack on his back and began to search for something inside.
“Wait! I need to get the scanner out!”
“To be honest, I don’t think you can repair my damage, except for this foot, on the chest and…”
“Really? You’ve been underestimated! Kawajo Hodori! That’s my name, and it’s also the name of the genius who fixed you perfectly!”
Kawajo Hedori is quite confident and plans to give 2B a checkup.
While they were busy, Shuguang caught Reimu Marufumi who ran to the corner.
“You’re quite efficient, but the Kappa looked so frightened just now… You should know something, right?”
“this……”
“Actually, I’ve been thinking about the difference between Tengu’s wings and chicken wings lately.”
“I’ll tell you!”
Reimu Marufumi quickly gave an explanation.
He published an issue of the newspaper through his influential Wenwen Daily, which was only available in Youkai Mountain.
The above records interesting stories about the Linzhong Restaurant, which is the restaurant operated by Zhou Guang.
Among them, the relationship between Shukou and the people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Kamishirazawa Keiin in the human village, the shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, Marisa who solved the incident, and others were mentioned.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Guang, who has a good network of contacts, can accomplish many things.
One of them is the idea of ​​’recently wanting to make kappa soup’.
Of course, ‘kappa soup’ is pure nonsense.
It’s just that…
“After the rumor of ‘Kappa Soup’ spread, the Kappas no longer dared to leave Xuanwu Gorge, which made Youkai Mountain much more stable.”
“I hope you won’t be angry, hehe.”
“You used my name to threaten the kappas, saying you were going to boil them into soup. You’re really good at talking nonsense.”
“I know I was wrong!”
Reimu Marufumi clasped his hands together and bowed his head to apologize.
“Oh oh oh.” At this moment, Kawagi Hedori’s voice came from 2B’s side.
“Let’s talk about it later…” Zhou Guang didn’t dwell on it any further, but decided to see how the repairs were going.
In response to this, a guess popped up in Zhou Guang’s mind.
After being repaired by Kawajo Hodori, if 2B is given some special enhancements, will she become even stronger than before?
By that time, maybe there will be a strange story about “The strongest transformed robot in Gensokyo killing its way through the other world” in the future.
kindness……
This is very ‘Fantasy Township’ style.

Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 45: Reimu Maru Text: The shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine wants to collaborate with the restaurant! (Please collect flowers!) Picture and text
There weren’t many guests this morning.
Nowadays, people who stay in restaurants have reasons other than “eating”.
Usami Sumireko came to thank Shuko because the information he gave to Rinnosuke helped solve the fraud in Gensokyo. But she didn’t know whether Kaguya got back the money she was cheated of.
Yumeimarufumi, like in the past, often went to Shukou’s restaurant to look for news. After all, this Tengu reporter knew that ‘restaurant = gathering place for visitors from another world’;
2B, a high-performance combat android who fights machine life in another dimension, accidentally enters a restaurant when she is surrounded by enemies;
Kawajo Hetori, under the threat of Reimu Marufumi, was worried about being turned into “kappa soup” so she chose to come and help.
Zhou Guang, the owner of the restaurant…
He looked at the relatively orderly scene in front of him and did not go to disturb the Kappa, but returned to the kitchen to organize the ingredients.
However, even if you stay in the kitchen, you can still hear the conversation in the hall area.
At this moment, He Cheng He Dao had already taken out the scanner she just mentioned.
The instrument is designed in the shape of a lotus leaf, and it feels like something the frog god of Moriya Shrine would like.
“What’s the use of your ‘lotus leaf’?”
Reimu Marufumi came over with a curious look on his face.
“If you don’t understand, just shut up. Can you please stop hanging around me? If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?”
“Oh, you suddenly become very arrogant.”
“Mr. Zhou Guang, can you throw this Tengu out?”
“Wait! Wait! I shut up!”
After Kawajo Hetori complained, Reimu Marufumi immediately shut up.
At the same time, Usami Sumireko walked over and pushed her eye sockets, staring at the damaged part of 2B and commented:
“It looks quite delicate, similar to the muscle tissue under human skin, which is not a hard structure. Is this a kind of artificial muscle?”
“Our detailed manufacturing method is not recorded in the database. This information is kept completely confidential because we are worried that the enemy may seize it and disassemble and analyze it.”
“In Miss 2B’s world… are humans completely at a disadvantage?”
“At least that’s the case now. Even though I found several human strongholds, mechanical life forms still have the upper hand.”
2B finished answering Usami Sumireko’s question, and Kawagi Horitori in front of her began to give orders.
“Could you please face me straight? And lean forward a little so I can scan more accurately.”
“The technology in ‘Fantasy Town’ seems to be extraordinary.”
2B said as she followed the instructions.
He Cheng He Dou also used the lotus leaf in his hand to slowly scan from top to bottom.
This process took at least thirty seconds. Only after Kawajo Horikoshi gave a thumbs-up to indicate OK did 2B return to her sitting position.
“Let me take a look…”
Kawagi Horitori placed the scanner aside and then stuck the card-like object on it.
In just a few seconds, a pattern appeared on the card.
Reimu Hōmeimaru shut his mouth and stared at the card in surprise. He didn’t expect that the kappas could really check robots.
And this is not just a simple perspective, it even records the structure of 2B’s body.
“In addition to the injury to the leg, there is a depression in the lower abdomen, and a penetrating wound on the right side of the chest. Fortunately, the underlying tissue structure was not damaged. That’s about it. If I have to say, I have to include the cleaning of the gap, because there is some sand and soil in it. If I come, it can be done in an hour.”
“It only takes an hour to fix? What method do you have?”
“Hehe, there are a lot of treasures in my backpack. If you want to know, just lie down on the bed.”
After He Cheng He Qu finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Guang
“Can I borrow the room upstairs?”
“Well, go up to the second floor and turn right. There is a small living room with a sofa.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
With Shuguang’s permission, Kawajo Hetori took the limping 2B to the second floor.
Reimu Marufumi on the side wanted to follow, but was rejected by Kappa.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, I don’t want anyone to disturb me when I’m working.”
“Wen, come and sit over here.”
Zhou Guang issued instructions immediately.
The Tengu reporter obediently returned to the counter.
Usami Sumireko, who watched them leave, also sat down nearby and said curiously
“‘Gensokyo’ is really magical. In addition to using magic and supernatural powers, the monsters also master scientific and technological knowledge that is not available in modern society…”
“This is really amazing.”
Zhou Guang nodded in agreement.
Let him fight, no problem;
Let him cook, no problem at all;
But he can’t repair a sophisticated high-tech bionic man like 2B, which Zhou Guang can’t do.
People always have limits, unless they stop being human.
During this time, there were still no other customers visiting the restaurant.
But Zhou Guang was not idle either.
He started making food for Kawajo Hodori.
The technical Kappa likes cucumbers, so he makes cucumber dishes.
This time, very few materials are needed and the production process is quite simple.
Zhou Guang first cleans the cucumbers, then gently taps them with a sharp knife to crack them but not break them, so that the subsequent seasonings can penetrate more easily.
Then, Zhou Guang cut the cucumber into small even pieces and sprinkled a little salt on them for pickling. This would make the cucumbers more crisp and refreshing after they were soaked.
At the same time, he began to mix a special sauce.
Put appropriate amount of minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, light soy sauce, sugar and a little chili oil into a small bowl and stir evenly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Smelling the sweet and spicy taste, Yumemimaru stared into the bowl
“It smells good, can you give me some?”
“Remember to pay.”
“Of course, no problem. My newspapers have been selling well in ‘Monster Mountain’ recently, so I’m pretty rich. Oh, and I have a good chance to reveal some information to Mr. Zhou Guang.”
Zhou Guang put the sauce aside.
Tengu also took the opportunity to explain
“There is a Moriya Shrine in ‘Yokai Mountain’. Mr. Shuguang should have heard of it.”
“Yes, I have taken time to go to Youkai Mountain to look for ingredients before, but I have never been to the shrine. I remember that there are two gods and a miko living there.”
“By the way, the shrine maiden’s name is Tofudani Sanae, and the two gods are Yasaka Kanako and Kashiya Suwako. The shrine maiden came to see me a few days ago.”
“for what?”
“Although she once fought with Reimu for the faith of Gensokyo when she first came to Gensokyo and was severely beaten, Sanae has no intention of giving up. Recently, Mr. Shukou has been very popular in ‘Gensokyo’, so she wants to discuss cooperation with you, such as distributing flyers in restaurants.”
There is indeed such propaganda.
Zhou Guang was reminded of the “mobile game fast food linkage” he had seen before.
This time it is changed to the “Shrine Restaurant” linkage.
“If she really wanted to talk, she should have come herself instead of asking you to bring the message.”
As for Zhou Guang himself, he is actually somewhat interested in this kind of linkage…
Chapter 46 Kappa Technology Shocks People! 2B’s Red Hornless Triple Speed! (Please Collect Flowers!) (Old Version)
The shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine wants to collaborate.
From Zhou Guang’s perspective, there was no reason to reject the other party.
After all, the deity of Moriya Shrine, Suwako Miya, is the leader of the eight million gods in the Yokai Mountain.
If she can help promote her restaurant, I believe the effect will be very good.
However, Zhou Guang did not agree indirectly through Reimu Maru Bun.
Because if both parties want to cooperate, sincerity is very important.
Hearing this, Shemingwan added
“Actually, I wasn’t asked to come here to make a request. I just wanted to test the waters. We Tengu have lived in the Youkai Mountain for a long time, and Sanae has Suwako-sama behind her, so I can’t refuse.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“Well~ Isn’t Mr. Shukou on good terms with Reimu? Although Hakurei Shrine and Moriya Shrine are not in opposition at the moment, they are in competition. Sanae is worried that Reimu will get angry if she comes to see you, and it will be troublesome if a conflict arises as a result.”
“That’s unlikely to happen. Reimu is not a jealous girl obsessed with love. She likes my cooking more than me.”
“Who knows, Mr. Zhou Guang’s cooking skills are one of his charms. We all want to live here!”
After Reimu Marufumi finished speaking, Usami Sumireko also joined the conversation.
The girl who used super powers asked with doubt
“Since the god is guarding here, can’t we just order others to go to the shrine and worship there?”
“That won’t work. Compulsory methods will only distort faith. The gods don’t like such stupid methods.”
Reimu Marufumi immediately rejected Usami Sumireko’s idea.
Not only that, she earnestly popularized science
“You’ve also met Reimu. Although she seems careless on weekdays, she’s quite formidable when she gets serious. If she knew someone was forcing the residents of Gensokyo to worship, she would definitely treat the shrine as an ‘anomaly’.”
“It seems that Reimu has a very high status in Gensokyo.”
“She is Hakurei’s miko after all.”
Reimu Hōmei spread his hands helplessly, and recalled the time when he was taught a lesson by Reimu.
In response to the previous conversation, Zhou Guang took out his own recipe.
“If we really want to cooperate, I think I can design a dessert for Moriya Shrine.”
It can be designed in a frog style, Suwako might like it.
Just like that, the three of them started chatting about the topic of collaboration.
Another thirty or forty minutes later, Kawajo Hechi, sweating profusely but smiling, appeared on the stairs to the second floor.
She looked at the three people in the hall and raised her hand to give a thumbs-up.
“Done!”
Before he finished speaking, 2B appeared from the second floor.
She no longer limps because the leg wound has been completely repaired.
Seeing this scene, Reimu Marufumi and Usami Sumireko both came over.
2B walks down the stairs while stretching her arms.
“I have a strange feeling, as if the joints of all parts of my body have become smoother than before…”
“Hehehe, Miss 2B, when I was cleaning your body just now, I used ‘Kappa’s Lubricant’ on some parts. It is made from the hundred-year-old mineral oil from Youkai Mountain. Even after decades, it can maintain its original effect!”
“Monster Mountain…”
“In short, the materials are very expensive and rare.”
“grateful.”
2B walked quickly down the hall.
All the damage on her body had been repaired, and there was no sign that she had been hit by the enemy before.
“It’s not just the lubricant. Didn’t I just ask you if you want to be more agile?”
“Of course…if you’re faster, you won’t be hit by the enemy.”
“So~ Although I’m not good at making magic props or spell props, I tried this time. You have installed ‘Kappa Speeding Charms’ on your waist and limbs. For stability, the effects are not very strong, but it is definitely enough!”
“…I don’t quite understand what a talisman is and how to use it?”
“The spell is connected to your right hand. Just make a fist to activate it.”
After He Cheng He Qu finished speaking, he ran to the door
“Want to try outside?”
2B nodded.
Zhou Guang and others also came outside out of curiosity.
2B, who was strengthened by the kappa from Gensokyo, stood on the road near the woods, clenching her right fist.
The next moment, she accelerated forward!
The only kappa talismans on the waist and limbs took effect immediately!
Reimu Marufumi exclaimed.
She saw the red light coming from the charm installed on 2B.
The bionic robot from another world moved a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye, leaving only a red afterimage.
Those are the streams of light that have not dissipated after the magic spell was activated.
“How about it!”
Kawajo Hodori looked at 2B in the distance.
“Very strong!”
2B responded loudly.
Zhou Guang prefers to call it ‘red hornless triple’.
When 2B comes back, He Cheng He puts his hands on his hips.
“I’m awesome, right? Do you want me to give you optical camouflage, a buoyancy device, a recoil shield, a grappling hook, and a flamethrower?”
“…I should first adapt to the current speed of improvement.”
2B made a conservative choice.
Although Kappa’s technology is shocking, it is better to take it slow…

Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 47: Kirisame Marisa: Spell Cards Are Not Such Inconvenient Things (Please Collect with Flowers!)
Everyone returned to the restaurant.
2B thanks Kawajo Hodori for his help.
“Without Miss Hecheng, I think it would be difficult to repair the injuries on my legs and chest. Before I go back, is there anything Miss Hecheng needs me to do?”
“Not yet, because I plan to go back and study Miss 2B’s data carefully. I hope you don’t mind.”
“It’s okay. Please consider that data as part of your reward.”
“Okay, okay~ But I hope we can meet again in the future. After all, the charms installed on your abdomen and joints are not ‘permanent type’ and need to be replenished and checked regularly so that I can confirm the condition of the charms.”
Kawagi Hodori intends to treat 2B as a long-term partner.
Hearing this, 2B turned to look at Shumitsu.
“After being surrounded by machine lifeforms, I stumbled upon the gate of the ‘Gensokyo’ restaurant and ended up here by accident. I’m not sure if I can come back after leaving. Mr. Shuguang is the owner of the restaurant. Does he know any special way to get in and out of here?”
“About this… Miss 2B, if you want, you will see the door of my restaurant.”
“It feels pretty mysterious.”
2B then raised another concern.
“If we are attacked by those machine life forms again, I am worried that once they reach the restaurant’s gate, they will bring those dangerous enemies here as well, posing a threat to Gensokyo and the restaurant.”
In response to her concerns, the person who answered was not Shumitsu, but Reimu Marufumi.
She smiled and said
“Don’t worry about that. I’ve never seen anyone dare to mess around in Mr. Zhou Guang’s restaurant! The mechanical lifeforms you mentioned are probably the same as ants on the street to Mr. Zhou Guang.”
“I didn’t expect Mr. Zhou Guang to have such powerful strength.”
2B looked at Shu Guang with some disbelief.
Without discussing this topic in depth, Zhou Guang took out the cucumber dish he had prepared earlier.
This dish immediately attracted Kappa’s attention.
I saw He Cheng He Dou leaning his hands on the counter, staring at the delicious food on the plate with shining eyes.
“Could it be that… this is for me?!”
“Well, I made it especially for you. Take your time to eat it.”
“Thank you so much!! Mr. Shuguang is completely different from what was rumored!”
“I forgot to mention that those were all lies made up by Wen. I will indeed go to Youkai Mountain to look for ingredients when I have time, but I have no intention of using Kappa as raw material to make soup.”
“I see. Tengu really likes to lie.”
Kawajo Hedori stuck out his tongue at Reimu Marufumi, and then happily enjoyed the cucumber dish.
During this time, Usami Sumireko, who is an “outsider”, gave 2B some basic knowledge about “Gensokyo”.
The monsters that live here;
Ordinary people in the world;
The gods that exist in the shrine;
There are also vampires, ghosts, and other hells and heavens that are difficult for ordinary people to reach.
After hearing this information, 2B’s brain processor had no idea how to respond.
In her worldview, there are only humans and robots.
But in this ‘Fantasy Town’, it’s as if some creations have become reality, like a ‘fantasy world where everything is possible’.
In fact, it is almost the same…
After saying this, footsteps were heard at the door.
Soon a blonde girl leaned against the window and looked inside.
After confirming the situation inside the store, she entered the restaurant from the front.
“Excuse me! Brother Zhou Guang!”
“I don’t remember having a sister like you.”
“Can I have a discount today?”
“no.”
“Well… okay, I’ll just have a serving of fried rice then.”
After Marisa took her seat, she greeted several people in the store.
Then he locked onto 2B who was standing next to Usami Sumireko.
“Is this young lady a new guest?”
Shukou, who was about to make fried rice for Marisa, answered and turned on the stove.
At this time, 2B stood up and prepared to go outside the store.
“What is she going to do, Sumireko?”
“It’s a long story. Anyway, Miss 2B has arrived at River City for maintenance and reinforcement. Now, in order to adapt to the new speed, she plans to go out for some more training.”
“Training? Interesting, I feel like I could help!”
‘Enthusiastic’ Marisa followed directly.
She called out to 2B who had just reached the door.
“Hello, little sister! I’m Kirisame Marisa! A magician! Sumireko just told me that you were planning on training to adapt to your new enhanced speed, right?”
“Then let me help.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I attack, and you try to dodge. I happen to be very interested in Kappa technology!”
Hearing her suggestion, Zhou Guang reminded in the kitchen
“She is an outsider, and she doesn’t have a spell card to fight you.”
There are spell card rules in ‘Gensokyo’.
In short –
Spell Cards are names given to your special skills. You must declare them when you use them.
Before a duel, both parties must clearly state how many spell cards they are prepared to play.
If all the spell cards held are destroyed, it means that the party loses.
The winner can only take the reward agreed upon before the duel. If he is not satisfied with the reward proposed by his opponent, he can refuse the duel.
The winner should actively accept the loser’s challenge again.
Be aware that accidents can happen at any time.
It’s content like this that feels more like a sports-style duel.
But Marisa doesn’t care about this…
At least when facing 2B who came from another world, she smiled and said with interest
“Sometimes, spell cards aren’t convenient.”
Spell Cards, are they such inconvenient things? !
This is probably what Marisa meant…
Now, she just wants to see how powerful the combination of ‘Kappa technology + alien visitors’ is.
Chapter 48 Marisa’s Special Training?! Androids vs. Magicians! (Please add flowers to your collection!) (Old version)
Anime: My Days as a Restaurant Owner in Gensokyo: Chapter 48: Marisa’s Special Training?! Bionic Man vs. Magician! (Please add flowers to your collection!)
2B accepted Kirisame Marisa’s proposal.
Because she imagined the troubles she would encounter when she returned.
A large number of mechanical life forms, artillery fire from all directions, and unpredictable enemy raids.
If one only trains slowly and becomes familiar with the improved speed, it is obviously not enough to cope with the high-pressure environment.
So 2B also asked Marisa to accompany her in a training battle.
Zhou Guang did not stop the decision the two made together.
He was just making fried rice seriously, reminding the two
“Don’t cause too much damage out there, that’s all I ask.”
“Of course! Of course! I wouldn’t dare do anything around Mr. Zhou Guang’s restaurant!”
Marisa, who is usually fearless, nodded obediently at this moment and walked out with 2B.
Reimu Marufumi and Usami Sumireko, who were inside the store, followed.
Kawajo Hetori also picked up the remaining cucumbers and walked out of the store, intending to watch the fight between the two.
“I’m the magician Kirisame Marisa. Today I’ll use the most basic spell cards. Please give me your guidance, Daze!”
“Please advise me.”
“Great! Let’s get started!”
Marisa had no intention of proceeding step by step and took out her Bagua furnace right from the start.
As the tools in her hands began to gather energy, eight miniature magic circles began to spin around her.
“Love Talisman ‘MasterSpark (Extreme Spark)’!”
The mini Bagua furnace then shot out lasers.
2B’s tactical analysis module instantly started working, analyzing the gaps in the enemy’s attack trajectory.
Without any hesitation, 2B relied on the acceleration device installed by Kappa and shuttled through the lasers that penetrated the earth like a red wave.
“That spell card isn’t basic at all… No, maybe to Marisa, it’s the most basic.”
While Usami Sumireko was complaining, 2B had already rushed in front of Marisa.
“Your attack has a big flaw.”
“This is just the beginning, little sister!”
“——!?!”
2B saw a new light.
Magic Talisman ‘Stardust Reverie’——
Marisa rides on her broom, and moves and charges forward with Stardust!
Marisa instantly created some distance and easily avoided 2B’s attack by flying.
Even if the latter completed the acceleration, he still could not catch up with the speed of the blond magician.
At this time, Kawajo Hedori, who had just finished eating the cucumber, reminded
“In fact, I’ve added a hidden function! At maximum output, you can use the magic light jets as weapons!”
2B immediately interpreted the information provided by Kawajo Natori and put it to use.
As the next wave of lasers approached, 2B activated the spells on her strengthened parts.
The talisman installed by Kappa immediately burst into light from the connection point.
A scarlet blade ‘shot’ out from the joints of 2B’s hands.
2B used the blood-red light as a weapon and cut through Marisa’s magic laser!
Suddenly, light exploded, and the spreading impact swept across the forest.
Zhou Guang in the kitchen felt the vibration.
It seems that Marisa didn’t obey…
As Zhou Guang thought of this, 2B outside the store jumped up from the ground with the help of the Kappa Talisman powered by supernormal power.
Marisa smiled in the air.
“That’s more like it! What an interesting way of fighting!”
Marisa laughed and sped up, the broom’s tail flame exploding into a golden nebula behind her.
2B found that whenever she tried to get close, the opponent would deliberately distance themselves from her and fill the gap with bullets.
As a result, 2B had to dodge the barrage of bullets falling from the sky as if she were dodging bullets from machine lifeforms.
Just as 2B locked onto Marisa again, the other party also began to dive.
“Wait! You guys! Wait!”
Kawajo Hetori suddenly shouted.
But 2B and Marisa didn’t stop.
that’s all–
The impact broke out!
However, this energy did not come from the conflict between the two.
Instead, it comes from the charm in 2B’s right hand.
The magic power that gushed out of there went into a state of rampage, causing 2B to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
Kawajo Horitori ran over with a wrench in his hand.
“Hey!”
There were also spells on the wrench she was holding, and with a tap, the runaway spell returned to its previous stability.
“Huh… As expected, the Psychic Drive doesn’t work that well. I can’t use it anymore.”
2B nodded in affirmation, but she was more agreeing.
“But this power is indeed beyond imagination. Miss Hecheng’s skills can indeed be called ‘genius’.”
“Huh? Really? Hey, thank you for the compliment!”
Seeing this, Marisa, who had put away her Bagua furnace, also came over to observe the situation. After making sure everything was alright, she scratched her head and said with a smile:
“You’re really fast, Miss 2B. You dodged my attack without even using a spell card.”
“I believe you didn’t use your full strength either.”
“Of course, I just want to test it, not to fight.”
Marisa said this and ran into the store laughing.
After everyone returned to the restaurant, Shuguang quickly brought out the fried rice that Marisa wanted.
“Hmm…Mr. Shuguang, is this fried rice a bit spicy?”
“I put a little more, you should like it, right?”
“It tastes really exciting…”
Marisa thought about it, then ordered another carbonated drink and finished the fried rice on the plate.
On the other side, 2B was repaired again by Kawajo Hetori, and after certain restrictions were placed on the power of the talisman, it reappeared in front of everyone.
“I think I should go now. I still have a mission to complete.”
2B did not forget the order she had received.
Zhou Guang in the kitchen heard this and wiped the water stains on his hands with a towel and said with a smile
“Just open the door of the restaurant when you want to come. Although I can’t treat you with delicious food, I think ‘Fantasy Village’ can be the rest stop you need.”
Customers from all over the world have different purposes and carry different ideas.
But there is only one thing that Zhou Guang can be sure of –
In this “Fantasy Town”, no matter where you come from, I believe you can find a place that belongs to you.
Chapter 49: How to make fat house water and the visit of the gap monster? ! (Please collect flowers!) (Old version)
Zongman: My Days as a Restaurant Owner in Gensokyo: Chapter 49: How to Make Fat House Water and Visit of the Interstitial Monster?! (Please collect flowers!) Picture and text
There are not many guests today.
Apart from Reimu Marufumi and a few others who had come to the store before, there were no new customers.
Kagami no Kirie may still be dealing with issues at home;
Although Kobayashi Ryudou and Nakiri Erina are on vacation, it cannot be concluded that they will have time to come.
The faces of Nanase Ren, Kafka and others also appeared in Shuguang’s mind.
Customers from another world became busy at the same time. Maybe such a coincidence really exists…
Therefore, Zhou Guang also became free.
The only sounds in the restaurant were the chatting of the visiting girls.
After 2B left, Usami Sumireko began to explain 2B’s true identity to Kirisame Marisa.
Marisa jumped in shock when she learned that 2B was not a real human but a robot made entirely of machinery.
“If I had known, I would have asked clearly. I thought it was just an ordinary visitor like before.”
“But with Miss Hecheng’s transformation, even if it is an ordinary visitor, it will become extraordinary.”
Kirisame Marisa sat back down in her seat and enjoyed the rest of her carbonated drink in distress.
After she finished drinking, she stared at the empty cup.
“What would the internal structure of a bionic man be like? I’m so curious… Never mind, since I’ve already missed it, I’ll talk about it later!”
Marisa then pushed the cup in front of Shuko.
“Please have another glass of sparkling water. This drink has a very special taste. No wonder the vampires in the Scarlet Devil Mansion like it so much.”
“How do you know this?”
Shukou said as he filled Marisa’s cup with Coke.
The blond magician smiled and said
“Earlier, I went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to borrow books…”
“Are you sure you didn’t steal the book?”
“No…! Anyway, when I went to borrow a book, I heard from Patchouli at the library that Remlia and Flandre were going to study carbonated drinks at home today. Because Izayoi didn’t allow them to buy fast food from Mr. Shuguang’s house too often, they had to make it themselves.”
The head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion seems to be very concerned about the health of her young lady.
It’s just that a vampire who has lived for a hundred years eats the ‘Fat House Happy Meal’ every day, so there shouldn’t be any problem, right?
“However, neither Remlia nor Flandre had the talent or knowledge to make drinks, so they went to Patchouli in the library and asked her for help.”
“What’s the result?”
“Mr. Shuguang, they don’t have your cooking skills. The end result was that the ‘carbonated drink’ turned into an ‘explosive drink’, so when I left, there were several big holes left in the shadows of the backyard of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.”
Marisa’s answer silenced Shukou.
What kind of production method would cause such big pits?
“How are carbonated drinks made?”
“I’m curious, too.”
Reimu Marufumi and Kawajo Horitori came over.
As a modern person, Usami Sumireko has drunk it and knows its ingredients, but has never tried it.
Facing the gazes of the girls, Zhou Guang turned around and searched for something.
“Then I’ll show you how to do it.”
The next thing to do is to make the ‘Fat House Happy Water’.
Zhou Guang also introduced the basic raw materials for making Coke – syrup, carbonated water and natural flavors.
“Making it yourself allows for more personalization, and allows you to control the sugar content and ingredients to ensure health; from this perspective, the fast food takeout I made for the Scarlet Devil Mansion isn’t actually that ‘unhealthy’, but nutritious dishes are definitely better.”
Reimu showed great interest in this and pointed to the carbonated water on the side.
“How is this water made?”
“Just use a bubble machine.”
“Bubble machine?”
“It can be used to make sparkling water, which is quite convenient.”
I just don’t know if ‘Fantasy Township’ can be mass-produced.
“If you have time, can I borrow it to have a look?”
He Cheng He Dou looked interested.
Kappa is good at collections, and maybe he can really copy the tools used in the restaurant.
But the prerequisite is that you must have electricity…
Without continuing the topic, Zhou Guang began to teach everyone how to mix syrup.
He pointed out that traditional cola recipes usually contain caramel coloring, but for today’s event, honey will be used instead to increase the natural sweetness and nutritional value.
Kawajo Hodori agreed.
“We have held a honey tasting event in Xuanwujian before.”
Then Zhou Guang took out the spices.
They are lemon oil and neroli oil, which are the key ingredients used to mimic the flavor of classic cola.
Kirisame Marisa watched Shukou’s every move excitedly.
She usually likes to tinker with strange potions and magic props, so she is no stranger to this kind of activity that requires precise measurement and mixing.
“The last step…”
Zhou Guang mixes the prepared and cooled syrup with iced carbonated water, then adds a small amount of spices and stirs slowly and evenly.
In this way, the Coke is ready.
“Is the process simple? You can try it.”
Zhou Guang handed the Fat House Happy Water to everyone.
Kappa tasted it first.
“Wow… the taste is incredible.”
Kawajo Hedo narrowed his eyes, feeling the impact inside his mouth.
“It’s a very interesting drink.” Marisa actually likes this taste.
Usami Sumireko, who had drunk it before, was very calm and tasted it quietly, just like Reimu Marufumi.
After finishing the drink in the cup, Marisa said as she refilled her cup.
“Mr. Zhou Guang, can you teach us to cook other dishes next time?”
“Why are you suddenly interested?”
“Sometimes I want to learn some other techniques.”
After Zhou Guang finished speaking, he made an agreement with Marisa and poured himself a glass of fat otaku happy water.
Almost at the same time, something strange happened in the restaurant.
A purple crack tore the space apart, attracting everyone’s attention.
“oh?”
Zhou Guang looked deep into the crack and already had the answer in his mind.
The next new guest seems to be the monster sage Yakumo Yukari from “Gensokyo”.
Chapter 50: Yakumo Yukari’s Special Request! Yuyuko’s Subtle Ingredients! (Part 1) (Please add flowers to your collection!) (Old Version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 50: Yakumo Yukari’s Special Request! Yuyuko’s Subtle Ingredients! (Part 1) (Please collect the flowers!) Illustrations and text
The space has changed significantly.
Zhou Guang watched the purple crack slowly open, and a blonde woman holding a parasol stepped out slowly. The hem of her skirt swept over the chair in front of the counter and finally fell gently.
“Oh, this place is much more lively than I thought.”
As the youkai sage, Yakumo Yukari, said this, she put away her parasol and poked the Tengu beside her with the tip of the fan in her other hand.
Seeing this, Shemingwan Wen quickly made way for him.
“Opening a restaurant near the ‘Human Village’, not far from the Lost Bamboo Forest, you should encounter a lot of trouble from monsters on weekdays, right?”
“Thank you for your concern, Miss Yakumo. However, this restaurant is still quite safe and we haven’t encountered any difficult problems so far.”
Zhou Guang remained calm and answered the questions in a normal tone.
But others behaved a little differently…
He Cheng He Dao left, saying, “I have things to do at home”;
Reimuchi had a ‘big news’ expression on his face, and seemed a little excited;
Kirisame Marisa is also very curious, looking at the monsters that she occasionally runs into at the Hakurei Shrine;
Usami Sumireko didn’t say anything, but just played the role of an indifferent spectator.
When Yakumo Yukari heard Shu Guang’s answer, a smile appeared on her face. She raised her white left hand and reached into the opened gap.
The next moment, Yakumo Yukari took out a jade box with a very exquisite appearance.
“I have heard about the boss’s cooking skills from Reimu before. It is said that his cooking skills are exquisite and have captured the hearts of many monsters and humans.”
“I just did what I was supposed to do and tried my best to satisfy the customers.”
“This awareness is exactly why you are so outstanding, so I came here this time to ask for a favor~”
After saying this, Yakumo Yukari opened the jade box she had just taken out.
“This is the ‘requested ingredient’ that my friend, the eldest daughter of the Saigyouji family, sent as a souvenir. She said that the chef of the White Jade House couldn’t cook it perfectly, so she came here in person to ask about it.”
White mist poured out of the box lid that Yakumo Yukari opened, and five translucent gelatinous substances were slowly pulsating in the ice crystals, like the chopped remains of a jellyfish.
Seeing this strange thing, Zhou Guang didn’t know what the object in the box was for a moment…
Yumemaru Fumi and Usami Sumireko, who were observing the jelly on the side, also looked confused.
“Jelly?”
Kirisame Marisa was the first to speak.
Noticing everyone’s subtle expressions, Yakumo Yukari explained:
“According to Youyouzi, the thousand-year-old cherry tree in the courtyard of Baiyu Tower will occasionally ooze gum under the moonlight. At first, Youyouzi didn’t care about it, but the fragrance of this thing made her taste it. It seemed to taste good, but it was not appropriate to eat it directly, so she asked me to take it…”
“Can we really eat the gum of a thousand-year-old cherry tree? No… the eldest daughter of the Saigyouji family has already eaten it? That’s too absurd…”
Reimu Hōrōbō could not help but complain, and Marisa beside him nodded repeatedly.
Usami Sumireko, who came from the outside world, looked at Shuguang and said,
“Normally, the gum of cherry trees is a self-protection mechanism of the tree, for example, when it is attacked by insects. Moreover, the gum is easily infected by mold in a humid environment after rain. In addition, pesticides may be sprayed during garden maintenance, which may cause the gum to be contaminated. However, the ‘thousand-year-old cherry tree’ mentioned by Miss Yakumo’s friend should not be an ordinary tree, right?”
“It’s really unusual. Although there are gardeners who take care of the cherry trees, they don’t use those kinds of drugs.”
After answering the question, Yakumo Yukari turned her attention to Shu Guang.
“So does this ‘ingredient’ have any value?”
“How do you say…”
Zhou Guang added
“Generally speaking, I don’t recommend eating gum, but it does have some nutrients, such as protein and vitamins. Eating it in moderation can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and improve immunity. However, if you take too much, it will irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to symptoms such as indigestion and nausea, and even cause abdominal bloating and abdominal pain.”
However, most of what Zhou Guang mentioned are aimed at ordinary people.
The eldest daughter of the Saigyouji family, Yuyuko Saigyouji, who lives in the White Jade Tower in the underworld, should not have such troubles.
and–
As a chef, there is nothing more exciting than trying new and rare ingredients.
You should know that the gum in the box in front of you comes from the thousand-year-old cherry tree in the underworld!
Having said that, Zhou Guang also felt some challenges when faced with this raw material that he had never seen before.
“Anyway, this ‘ingredient’ does look very special, but if Miss Yakumo insists on letting me cook it, then… I am certainly willing to give it a try.”
Hearing this, Yakumo Yukari smiled slightly.
“As expected of Reimu’s good-looking chef.”
Before he finished speaking, the sudden visitor added:
“Youyouzi said, ‘It won’t kill anyone anyway, so you can do whatever you want.'”
What the ghost said was somewhat of a joke from hell.
Zhou Guang could only respond with a wry smile.
He then put on a new apron and prepared the kitchen utensils he might need.
Reimu Hōrōbun, who had not yet left, took out a camera from his pocket
“Um… Lord Yakumo, can I take a picture?”
“Of course you can, if you don’t use it for weird news.”
“No! No! I promise!”
Reimu Marufumi answered with a righteous look on his face.
Marisa showed a skeptical expression. She was also very familiar with the “Spring and Autumn writing style” of the Tengu reporter in front of her.
“What exactly is Mr. Zhou Guang going to do?”
Usami Sumireko, who was curious about the cooking method, saw Shumitsu turn on the stove.
In response, Zhou Guang said
“Let’s see the ‘reaction’ of this ingredient first.”
After saying this, Zhou Guang began to cook the “ingredients from the underworld” in front of him.
Chapter 51: Yakumo Yukari’s Special Request! Yuyuko’s Subtle Ingredients! (Part 2) (Please add flowers to your collection!) (Old Version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 51: Yakumo Yukari’s Special Request! Yuyuko’s Subtle Ingredients! (Part 2) (Please collect the flowers!) Picture and text
There were more spectators when I was cooking today than usual.
In response, Zhou Guang first poured a cup of tea for Yakumo Yukari, but before he could bring it over, she whispered
“I want some wine~”
“It’s not even noon yet, Miss Yakumo, you’d better drink less.”
“I feel like I’ve heard something similar from Reimu before…”
While Yakumo Yukari was reminiscing, Shukou replaced the tea with wine and served it to the gap monster.
Seeing this scene, Reimu Marufumi remembered that his cup was also empty.
“I, I, I, Mr. Zhou Guang, another glass of carbonated drink.”
“You’ve had four drinks…”
“It’s never too much, it’s never too much~”
“Pour it yourself.”
“Alas, I feel like Mr. Zhou Guang no longer treats me as a guest…”
Reimu Hōrōbun ran to the far left side of the kitchen and poured himself a cup.
Seeing this, Yakumo Yukari asked curiously
“Is that delicious?”
“Hmm? Lord Yakumo is interested? Anyway, I think it’s good, and Marisa and Miss Sumireko both gave it good reviews.”
“Put a little bit of it in there.”
After listening to this, Yakumo Yukari handed over the wine glass.
This made Reimu Maru unsure whether he should obey or not…
“If you add carbonated drinks to alcohol, you can retain the light taste of alcohol and the stimulation brought by carbonation, making the taste more pleasant; however, after mixing, carbonated drinks will cause alcohol to enter the body faster, making people drunk more easily, but I think Miss Yakumo should not worry about this?”
“Of course, I’ve never been drunk.”
Yakumo Yukari said this confidently and looked at Reimu Marufumi again.
The latter immediately poured some drink into the wine glass of the Yokai Sage in front of him.
At the same time, Zhou Guang also started ‘commissioned work’.
First, he took the jade box in front of him, carefully took out a small piece of gum from it, and smelled it briefly.
Although there is no obvious smell, the fresh feeling is reminiscent of a cherry blossom forest in spring…
Next, Zhou Guang decided to heat the gum first to see what changes would occur.
So a small piece of gum was placed in a transparent glass container, pure spring water was slowly added, and then it was placed on the fire and simmered over low heat.
“This is a very special ingredient, so you have to take your time.”
Zhou Guang said this to the guests outside the kitchen.
As the temperature gradually rises, the gum begins to melt slowly, emitting a fresh and attractive floral fragrance that fills the entire kitchen.
Yakumo Yukari closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
“This fragrance makes you feel like you are in a cherry blossom forest.”
The Yokai Sage’s opinion is exactly the same as Shuko’s.
Listening to the customers’ comments, Zhou Guang mixed the melted gum while thinking about his next move.
Tengu asked curiously.
Zhou Guang thought about it and made a decision
“Let’s make some ‘Sakura Jelly’ first and try it.”
“I haven’t heard of it.”
“Just think of it as pudding.”
After Zhou Guang finished speaking, he turned around and started looking for spices in the kitchen cabinet.
Soon he brought out fresh lemon zest and a little rose water.
They can add a refreshing sweet and sour flavor and a romantic touch to the dessert of ‘Sakura Jelly’.
“This dish is very simple.”
Marisa felt that the steps were not as complicated as when she made carbonated drinks before.
“It doesn’t have to be complicated. For example, for a plate of fried rice, the cooking time, the ratio of ingredients, and the amount of side dishes will all affect the overall taste.”
“Why does the science of cooking seem to be more complicated than magic…”
Marisa said this and scratched her head.
After seeing this, Usami Sumireko also asked a question
“What do those spices do?”
“The fragrance of lemon peel can enhance the overall layering, while rose water gives this dessert a dreamy atmosphere. It can be regarded as an ‘artistic processing of cuisine’.”
After finishing the explanation, Zhou Guang took out white jelly as a coagulant and carefully adjusted the proportion to ensure that the final taste was both smooth and elastic.
Finally, in order to increase the taste layer, Zhouguang added a small amount of honey to make the sweetness more rounded and not greasy.
“This step is crucial because it determines the texture of the finished product.”
At the same time, in order to increase the visual appeal, Zhou Guang also cleverly used some edible gold foil, which is a method used before.
Sprinkle them lightly on the surface of the dessert that is about to solidify, making the whole dish shine with golden light like a work of art.
When the dessert is completely cooled and set, Zhou Guang carefully removes it from the mold and places it on a beautiful plate.
“Ms. Yakumo, maybe you could come and taste it?”
Yakumo Yukari’s eyes fell on the ‘Sakura Jelly’.
It is like a piece of cherry pudding with golden spots on the surface, and it also has the fragrance of lemon and rose.
Yakumo Yukari looked at the dessert carefully, then took a light bite.
There was a glimmer of surprise in the eyes of the Yokai Sage.
“It tastes sweet.”
Because of the perfect ratio, the cherry gum is perfectly integrated into the mixture without overshadowing it.
So Zhou Guang followed this process and made the remaining thousand-year-old cherry tree gum into “Sakura Jelly” and gave it to Yakumo Yukari.
“I think Youyouzi will like it.”
Yakumo Yukari opened the gap and smiled at Zhou Guang.
“As for the reward… I’ll double it the next time I come here for a drink~”
After saying that, the Yokai Sage of Gensokyo disappeared into the restaurant with the snacks.
Zhou Guang then wrote down Yakumo Yukari’s name on the list of regular customers, waiting for the next visit of the gap monster…
Chapter 52 A god came to buy melons, her name was… Yasaka Kanako (please add flowers to your collection!) (Old version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 52 A God Comes to Buy Melons, Her Name is… Yasaka Kanako (Please Collect Flowers!)
After seeing off Yakumo Yukari, the girls from Gensokyo who were staying in the restaurant also left one after another.
Zhou Guang, who was completely free, also began to clean up the kitchen utensils used to make the “Sakura Jelly” just now.
Cleaning, wiping and storing, Zhou Guang couldn’t help but feel curious during the process.
That is why Yuyuko Saigyouji, who lives in the White Jade Tower in the underworld, chooses to ask Yakumo Yukari to cook for her?
If I remember correctly, the half-human, half-spiritual gardener, Konpaku Youmu, also has good skills. Even she can’t handle the gum of the thousand-year-old cherry tree?
If there is a chance, I would let Yakumo Yukari take me to the underworld for a tour.
He really wanted to know what delicious food Konpaku Youmu usually made for the foodie lady of Baiyulou…
By the time Zhou Guang finished thinking, the work at hand was also completed.
Kobayashi Ryoudou and Nakiri Erina might come today.
However, before that, a visitor appeared, which surprised Zhou Guang a little.
The other party is related to a topic mentioned by Tengu reporter Yameimaru Fumi –
That is ‘Moriya Shrine’.
Zhou Guang looked towards the door. Outside the open door stood a tall and beautiful woman with a dignified appearance, a raised smile, and a straightforward and generous look.
To put it simply, it’s the feeling of a ‘cool big sister next door’.
She has shoulder-length purple hair tied with a shimenawa and decorated with flowers.
The upper body is a bright red short-sleeved shirt that looks like the color of the sunset, and the cuffs are also fastened with shimenawa-style ropes.
Wearing straw sandals, she looked a bit like a god of pleasure walking in the world as described in mythology, and was looking at the restaurant opened by Zhou Guang with great interest.
Finally her eyes fell on Zhou Guang.
The footsteps sounded again.
The majestic visitor, who looked like a big sister, walked up to Zhou Guang.
“Do you know who I am?”
“Of course. I heard from Reimu that the deity of the Youkai Mountain ‘Moriya Shrine’ is Yasaka Kanako.”
“You are so brave to call the Lord God by his name.”
“Everyone is a guest, and we will not treat them specially. Miss Yasaka is naturally included in this. So… may I ask what is the purpose of your visit?”
Zhou Guang used a serious tone.
Yasaka Kanako sat down and looked around.
“Your place seems a little deserted, no other guests?”
“A group of guests just left. I believe there will be new visitors soon.”
Zhou Guang changed the subject and asked with a smile
“How is the situation at Moriya Shrine?”
The situation at the Moriya Shrine where Yasaka Kanako was located was not optimistic, so the shrine was moved directly to Gensokyo.
Although most gods travel freely between Gensokyo and the outside world, she moved her base to Gensokyo, seemingly wanting to lock her believers on the humans and monsters in Gensokyo and thereby gather firm faith.
It was precisely because of this that she was targeted by the Red and White Miko, and was eventually “defeated” along with Suwako Shishiya and Sanae Tofudani.
“The shrine is in pretty good condition. At least the monsters in Youkai Mountain are very pious.”
Because I can’t beat it…
Just like dealing with Reimu.
If the monsters could truly defeat Reimu, Human Village would have already become their territory…
“During this period, there are still activities being held, which has attracted some people to come to the shrine to worship. In addition to these, a cable car is also being built to lead to the ‘Moriya Shrine’, and funds are being raised slowly. However, I don’t know much about this, so I won’t comment on it.”
Yasaka Kanako described the current situation.
Unlike the Hakurei Shrine managed by Reimu, the business activities run by Moriya Shrine are indeed very rich.
As long as they can attract believers and gain their faith, they will consider any approach.
“We need to use modern technology… Can Miss Yasaka accept this?”
“Of course, why not use something that’s convenient?”
It can be seen that Kanako Yasaka likes technological innovation and has no intention of sticking to tradition.
Maybe this is the god of the new era…
Keep up with social progress and use methods that young people like to attract customers.
Zhou Guang remembered that he had seen related news before coming to Gensokyo.
The temples in Japan have attracted many young people to worship by providing cyber means such as online donations and drone shows, coupled with the reception of temple maids.
Even the abbots of temples would broadcast live, chanting sutras online and praying for the dead remotely…
Zhou Guang also heard that the host is good at guitar and is quite versatile.
Ending the memories of the past, Zhou Guang handed over a menu.
“I wonder if Miss Yasaka would like to eat anything during your visit? If your favorite dish is not on the menu, you can place a custom order.”
“Cooking… I actually came here to buy watermelons. Sanae said she wanted to make watermelon juice for the customers.”
A god came to buy melons, not to eat.
Although Zhouguang has prepared fruits, and the store’s refrigerator is very special and can always keep them fresh, it has no plans to sell them.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Yasaka, but this is not a store, so we don’t sell fruit.”
“That’s okay… I can talk to you about other things.”
Yasaka Kanako changed the subject.
Perhaps he planned to continue to look for Zhou Guang for the reason of “buying melons”.
“Please go on…”
“It’s about that girl Sanae, you…”
Yasaka Kanako suddenly stopped talking halfway through.
She shifted her gaze and looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.
“Can I sit up there?”
“What a sudden request…”
Zhou Guang, who was entrusted by the god, finally nodded.
What on earth is the god of this Moriya Shrine here for?
With such doubts, Zhou Guang looked outside the store.
“Forehead……”
The second god of Moriya Shrine is standing just outside the window…
Chapter 53: A god came to propose marriage, her name is… Xieya Suwako (Please add flowers to your collection!) (Old version)
Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 53 A God Comes to Propose Marriage, Her Name is… Suwako Kashiya (Please Collect Flowers!)
???
Yeah?
How come the two gods from the Moriya Shrine came running over one after the other?
Zhou Guang watched the door slowly open with such doubts.
The sunlight near noon shone in from the door, and under the golden light, the shadow of the petite god fell on the restaurant floor.
The visitor wore a hat with eyes on both sides of the top and a dress with blue and white as the main colors.
Her golden hair, as beautiful as the sun, falls softly on her shoulders, and the hair tied together on both sides of her cheeks is decorated with red ropes, which is quite unique.
She is not tall, about the same height as Kawajo Hedori.
However, contrary to his appearance, this visitor is the leader of the various gods in Youkai Mountain.
And her race is different from Kanako’s, she belongs to the eight million gods.
Therefore, there is no original spirit, it is made up of pure faith, so the one who is troubled by the complete lack of faith is not Kanako, but her, Kashiya Suwako.
But usually, Suwako spends her time at the Moriya Shrine and rarely goes out.
Zhou Guang, who understands this, would be a little confused…
Why did you come suddenly?
“Ms. Shishiya? One of the gods of Moriya Shrine… I didn’t expect you to come to my restaurant.”
“Forget the compliments, young man~”
After saying that, Suwako leaped up and landed lightly on the seat in the middle of the counter.
“We are meeting for the first time, but there is no need to discuss irrelevant topics.”
“Really? Then let’s get straight to the point. What would you like to eat, Ms. Xieya? I have sake, shochu, oden, and fruit salad. I can also make Western, Chinese, and Japanese food. Oh, and barbecue is also fine.”
“It’s a pretty extensive menu, but that’s not the point I want to talk about.”
Kashiya Suwako looked around.
Her eyes finally fell on the stairs leading to the second floor.
But Suwako didn’t say anything.
She asked quite bluntly
“young people.”
“My name is Zhou Guang, as for the name…you can call me whatever you want.”
“Ahem, Zhou Guang, do you have someone you want to spend your life with?”
“This… not yet.”
There were a few people who spent the night with me…
After Shumitsu finished speaking, Suwako took out a photo from her sleeve.
“I asked Tengu to take this photo last month. The location was in the garden behind Moriya Shrine. The flowers there were in full bloom.”
“The one standing in the middle is the shrine maiden of the Moriya Shrine, Tofutani Sanae. Isn’t she cute?”
“How about it? Are you going to marry her?”
After all this time, you are here to propose marriage? !
Zhou Guang looked at the photo of Sanae Koufuku with a beautiful courtyard as the background. She was indeed a young and lovely girl.
But Zhou Guang was not tempted by the beauty in the photo.
He turned and asked
“Let’s not talk about whether the shrine maidens can get married. Miss Xieya loves her own shrine maiden very much, right? Marrying her to a man you have never met, forgive me for being frank… This is full of doubts, and I don’t think it is your intention.”
“Hahaha, very perceptive, Zhou Guang.”
Suwako Kashiya laughed.
She then changed the subject
“As you said, I love Sanae very much, so I naturally won’t marry her off. What I said just now was a test for you. It seems that you are not the kind of person who will be tempted by beauty, which is commendable.”
“Thank you…”
Zhou Guang just felt that things were not that simple.
Thinking of this, Zhou Guang put away the menu.
“So why did Ms. Xieshi come to test me?”
This question was not answered by Suwako Kashiya because Kanako Yasaka came down from upstairs.
She looked at the man and the god and explained the question just now.
“Sanae once mentioned the topic of ‘cooperation with a popular restaurant’ to that reporter Tengu. We were a little worried, so we came to investigate… Suwako, I didn’t expect you to act so quickly, even though you said you didn’t care.”
“You too, aren’t you? And faster than me.”
“I just came to ask if there was any fruit for sale.”
Yasaka Kanako used a lame excuse again.
Listening to the two gods’ speeches, Zhou Guang smiled and said
“How about… eating something first?”
As soon as these words came out, the two looked at each other.
Suwako nodded, and Kanako sat down at the side and picked up the menu that Shukou had handed out again.
After the two gods placed their orders, Zhou Guang prepared two servings of oden that were almost identical but had slightly different flavors, and paired them with some shochu for the two gods to savor carefully.
“Oh, it tastes good. I like this tofu.”
Suwako Kashiya really likes the taste of tofu.
“The boiled meatballs here are also quite delicious.”
Yasaka Kanako, who loves meatballs, ate three in one bite. She was not satisfied at all and asked Shuguang for another portion.
Zhou Guang in the kitchen nodded and immediately started preparing new side dishes and oden.
“It seems that the Tengu reporter did not lie.”
“Yes, the food in the restaurant is really delicious.”
The gods of Moriya Shrine looked at each other, and then looked at Shuko together.
“How about coming to our shrine?”
Faced with this invitation, Zhou Guang naturally chose to refuse.
For him, running a restaurant is the most important thing.
However, Zhou Guang does not hate cooperating with outsiders.
“It’s impossible to go to ‘Moriya Shrine’, but if we want to discuss cooperation, I’m still looking forward to it.”
Shuko, who works in “Gensokyo”, is willing to be friends with any monster or god.
Chapter 54: Daily Life of Sanae Tofutani, Shrine and Restaurant Collaboration Plan! ? (Please add flowers to your collection!) (Old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 54: Daily Life of Sanae Tofutani, the Shrine and Restaurant Collaboration Plan! ? (Please collect flowers!) Picture and text
Sanae Tofutani is the shrine maiden of the Moriya Shrine in Gensokyo, and her mornings are always filled with a sense of established ritual and meticulous tranquility.
The same is true today –
When the first rays of sunlight shone through the ancient cedar trees onto the shrine’s torii gate, Sanae was already up.
She put on the familiar outfit – an armpit-baring shrine maiden costume, which was somewhat similar in design to the red and white shrine maiden at the Hakurei Shrine, but the upper body was white and the lower body was a blue skirt with white patterns on it, paired with a black tie.
In order to appear in front of the worshippers with the best appearance, Sanae specially commissioned the tailor shop in “Human Village” to make several identical shrine maiden costumes for her.
After completing the preparations, Sanae will first clean the shrine grounds.
With a serious attitude, she used a long bamboo broom to carefully clean up every fallen leaf, not leaving out even the smallest one.
In Sanae’s view, this is not only a cleansing of the divine realm, but also a purification of her own soul.
After sweeping the floor, she would walk to the shrine’s well, draw cool water from the well, wash her hands and rinse her mouth, then fill a wooden bucket with water and gently sprinkle it at the entrance of the shrine to remove impurities.
After doing all this, Sanae would kneel down in front of the main hall of the shrine and meditate for a while with her eyes closed.
During this time, she seemed to be able to hear the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, the first chirping of birds in the morning, and the gurgling sound of the stream in the distance.
Moriya Shrine is a pure place, a place favored by the gods, and it is so special.
Logically speaking, it should be more popular than Hakurei Shrine!
In the end, there were more customers going to the Red and White Shrine Maidens…
At least there are more than at ‘Moriya Shrine’.
Even after the previous battle, Sanae, still somewhat confused, began to prepare breakfast.
The meals are usually simple, but she always cooks them with care and enjoys the process of the ingredients turning into delicious food in her hands.
Once she was done, Sanae enjoyed steaming hot rice, along with some pickled side dishes and miso soup, which was enough to last her through the morning.
After dinner, she would tidy up the kitchen and put everything back in its place.
After completing the familiarization process, Sanae prepared to welcome visitors.
The faith of devout believers is one of the sources of God’s power.
However, due to the poor geographical location of Moriya Shrine, the route to worship is quite inconvenient, and many people are unwilling to spend time climbing up.
Therefore, after discussing with the two gods, Sanae commissioned Kappa to design a ‘Moriya Shrine Cable Car Route’.
Just to build it, you need enough funds.
The meager amount of money from the donation box was simply not enough.
Besides, the incense money is mainly used for the maintenance, repair, festival activities and other daily operating expenses of the shrine.
If you want to use them to hire Kappas for work, you are still a long way off.
For this reason, Sanae thought of something that the Tengu reporter, Yumemaru Fumi, had told her.
There is a restaurant in the forest near the ‘Human Village’.
The gentleman who teaches in the human village;
The vampire master of the Scarlet Devil Mansion;
The miko of Hakurei Shrine;
A blonde magician;
There are also various ‘Fantasy Town’ residents who go there to enjoy the food, and everyone has a good influence.
To put it bluntly, the owner of that restaurant, Shuguang, has a lot of connections. Once we can get closer to him, it will surely increase the exposure of the Moriya Shrine.
However, there was one thing that Sanae was worried about.
The shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine also has a good relationship with the restaurant owner.
It would be troublesome if I tried to strike up a conversation myself and caused unnecessary conflicts.
Now Sanae doesn’t want to go to war with the other party again.
At least we have to wait until the Moriya Shrine becomes popular, and then we can avenge our previous shame.
Let’s get back to the topic. Thinking this, Sanae chatted with the two gods.
Neither Kanako-sama nor Suwako-sama clearly agreed or disagreed.
Therefore, Sanae was not quite sure what they were thinking.
A day has passed, and now…
Sanae tried to talk to them again, but after calling them several times, she got no response.
Where did it go?
Normally, Suwako-sama doesn’t go out.
If Kanako-sama goes out, she should also inform me.
Sanae was very confused about this.
“There’s no trace of him at all…”
Looking at the deserted and quiet shrine, Sanae walked around again with the broom, but still to no avail.
However, when she arrived at the main gate of the shrine, near the torii gate connected to the stairs, two figures appeared in her sight.
One is a little girl with short blue hair, and the other is a little girl with short green hair.
The two little guys were hiding in the bushes on the left side of the shrine’s torii gate, observing stealthily.
Obviously not here to worship…
“You two…”
“Wow! I’ve been discovered!!”
The blue fairy jumped up immediately, completely ignoring the screams of the green girl next to him, and flew away into the distance.
Abandoning friends quite decisively.
The fairy that was left behind looked at Sanae timidly.
“Well, that…”
“It’s you again. Why are you here again? Haven’t you suffered enough since you were taught a lesson by Suwako-sama before?”
“No, that… Cirno said she wanted to come and ‘observe the enemy’. I tried to persuade her many times, but it was useless… It’s obvious that she can’t beat Suwako-sama, wuwu!”
“I see… Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’ll give you this.”
Sanae handed over a cookie.
After the other person stopped crying, Sanae sighed softly and looked at the sky which was also very clear today.
“How long do we have to wait until the shrine is filled with people…?”
Chapter 55: Dongfeng Valley Sanae: Mr. Shuguang, are you going to get married? (Please collect flowers!) (Old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 55: Sanae Tofutani: Mr. Shuguang, are you going to get married? (Please collect flowers!) Picture and text
The big fairy who was forcibly dragged here by the stupid ice fairy took a bite of the cookie.
She stopped crying and was immediately won over by the crispy dessert.
“It’s delicious…thank you…”
“You’re welcome. Remember to persuade your friends not to cause trouble at the shrine again when you return.”
“kindness!”
The goblin wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up slowly.
Seeing this, Sanae gave her an extra cookie and brushed off the fallen leaves and a little dirt on her skirt.
As the big goblin just turned around, he heard a shout from above his head.
Cirno, who had made a sudden comeback, launched a charge.
She aimed at Sanae’s head and performed a Knight Kick.
But Cirno called it——
“Take it! The Ice Fairy King’s Storm Rush Kick!!!”
“Stop making trouble…”
After Sanae dodged easily, she grabbed Cirno’s right leg that kicked out.
“Woooooa …
At this moment, Cirno was like an inverted sunny doll, her body shifting back and forth in the air.
The falling hem of her skirt made her lose all her ‘girlish reserve’.
But Cirno had no intention of giving up. She stared at the big fairy and shouted:
“Now! Dai-chan! While I’m holding her back! As long as we defeat the miko, the shrine will be ours!”
“Oh? But, but… I don’t want to fight!”
“What nonsense! Huh?! The biscuit in your hand?! So you were bribed by the enemy! Have you become my enemy?!”
“No! I’m a good friend of Cirno-chan!”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Sanae did not let the mischievous ice fairy struggle any further.
She put the goblin in her hand on the ground, then reached out and pinched her nose hard.
“If you keep causing trouble, you won’t get your nose back.”
“Oooooh! It hurts so much! It’s going to fall off! It’s going to fall off!!”
“Answer?”
“I’ll let you go this time.”
“No way…!”
After being liberated, Cirno immediately grabbed the hand of the fairy and flew away with her, leaving a message before leaving.
“I will definitely come back!”
Is that kid a villain from somewhere?
Sanae listened to Cirno’s screams, smiled bitterly, and decided to search the shrine again.
The result was still nothing.
The two gods seemed to have disappeared.
Sanae started the rest of the work with doubts.
It wasn’t long before her attention was drawn to shouts coming from the front door.
After rushing to the door, I saw a familiar figure there.
It is the Tengu reporter, Yameimarufumi, who occasionally comes to the shrine to collect materials.
“Morning… No, it’s almost noon, right? Can I take some pictures here?”
“You’ve already taken photos before, right? Also, you’re not allowed to take photos inside the shrine, so please be aware of that.”
“In fact, I thought it was closed at first.”
“Close the door, why?”
“When I came here, I saw two figures leaving one after another. They are the gods of this shrine. Didn’t you know that?”
Reimu Marufumi showed a surprised expression.
“Suwako-sama and Kanako-sama? They left the shrine without telling me… Do you know where they went?”
“I don’t know. I don’t dare to follow God casually. But if you force me to guess, maybe he went to the restaurant? After all, you told me before, and I believe you talked to God.”
Sanae thought it made sense.
She then pulled Tengu out of the main hall of the shrine.
“What? I haven’t taken any pictures yet! Isn’t the Moriya Shrine going to be renovated in the future? There’s also a cable car route to be built. I plan to record this scenery first, so that I can publish “Reminiscences of the Past! A Complete Collection of Memories of Gensokyo Shrines” later!”
“I have to go out, so the shrine is temporarily closed today.”
“Okay, can I take some photos outside? This road might be transformed by the kappas.”
“Only if we have the money to hire them…”
Without stopping Reimu Marufumi or continuing the conversation, Sanae left Moriya Shrine.
After descending from the Monster Mountain, we headed straight towards the ‘Human Village’, where the restaurant was located.
The journey was very smooth.
I also ran into a few villagers who had helped me deal with the problem before, and got some fruits from them.
After expressing her gratitude, Kofutani Sanae quickly found the restaurant.
She had learned about this from Reimu Marufumi before, so she was sure that she had not made the wrong choice.
After she walked in, the laughter coming from inside made her even more certain.
At least Kanako-sama is in the store.
So Sanae opened the door of the restaurant.
Inside is a warm space filled with sunlight.
There is also a smell of alcohol…
Without giving it much thought, Sanae saw Suwako and Kanako sitting at the counter at first sight.
To her surprise, the restaurant owner was sitting between the two gods.
Facing Sanae’s sudden appearance, the two gods looked at each other and then joked
“The wedding party is here.”
Sanae looked puzzled.
Zhou Guang in the middle said with a smile
“From now on, Miss Sanae is my fiancée.”
“Hey? You want to get married?!”
Sanae had seen many anomalies since coming to ‘Gensokyo’, but this shock was an ‘accident’ she had never expected.
Chapter 56 Three Gods in the Tavern?! Zhou Guang and the God’s Drinking Party (Please collect flowers!) (Old version)
The sunlight shines through the clean glass windows into the slightly noisy restaurant.
At this moment, Zhou Guang prepared wine and food, took off his apron, carried two bottles of wine out of the kitchen, and sat directly between the two gods.
Just now when he was busy in the kitchen, he received an invitation from Suwako and Kanako.
The gods said loudly, “Since there are no other customers in the store right now, why don’t you have a drink with us? Hurry up!”
It felt interesting to drink with the gods of Gensokyo, so Shuguang agreed.
So everything that happened now
He filled the glass in front of him with sake and put it back. The slight clash sound caused Suwako to react.
The god of the Monster Mountain shook his body.
“So…”
The petite god wearing a frog-eye hat took a deep breath, his cheeks flushed.
“The so-called ‘god’ is like a stone thrown into a pond! With a thud, the ripples spread out and take the shape of faith!”
As Shumitsu knew, although Suwako seemed casual on weekdays, she was probably more cunning than Kanako.
The speech just now is also quite philosophical.
Hearing this, Yasaka Kanako, who was blowing on the bottle, shook the empty bottle.
“Suwako, you’re talking like a frog again. If you ask me, gods are more like windmills.”
She rapped her knuckles on the table
“People send the wind of wishes, and the gods start to turn – but the wind direction in Gensokyo right now…some of them don’t blow to the Moriya Shrine. Isn’t that why the child is worried? Because we came to Gensokyo to collect faith, but the process was not smooth.”
Zhou Guang in the middle was turning the wine glass in his hand. The sound of boiling water in the kitchen never stopped, and the delicious oden was still emitting aroma.
When the set time comes, the fire will automatically go out.
At this moment, Zhou Guang leaned forward and took out new snacks.
“Before we continue chatting, you two might as well try this.”
He pushed over a small white porcelain dish containing neatly arranged pickled radishes cut into pieces as translucent as cicada wings.
“This is made from the fermented wasabi I found on Yokai Mountain.”
After saying this, Zhou Guang started to talk about the previous topic.
He took a sip of wine and said with a smile:
“I think gods are more like ‘torches’.”
Kanako raised an eyebrow, the bottle of wine stopping at her lips.
The eyes on Suwako’s hat also turned towards Shumitsu, just like a real frog turning its eyes.
“In the past, those who regarded me as ‘God-sama’ and ‘the only savior’ built a palace.”
Zhou Guang sighed
“I think that was a waste of money. After all, in order to reach the palace where people can worship me, a road that runs through almost the entire country was built. Do you know how much money it cost in total? Time is also a problem… Even if there was a great mentor who mastered magic, it would take at least half a year.”
During each celebration, people would hold torches and march along the pilgrimage route until they reached Zhou Guang’s palace.
“As a result… when that road began to be invaded by monsters, it was regarded as a symbol of curse and linked to death. Although I have the ability to punish them, I believe you two also know that it is meaningless to argue with fools.”
“I agree with this. Human faith and hatred are only separated by a wall. But compared to this, I am more curious about your past… Since you are regarded as a god by people, it proves that you must have done great deeds, right?”
Kanako moved closer to Shukou, as if urging him to answer.
“Past great achievements? I think those are just footnotes in life, not the focus, and there is no need to mention them specifically.”
“Not looking back at the past, but only looking to the future, is a good approach.”
Yasaka Kanako raised the corner of her mouth and opened another bottle of wine generously.
Seeing this, Shuguang clinked glasses with Suwako next to him and drank the wine in the glass in one breath.
The spicy, refreshing and sweet taste blossomed in his throat. Zhou Guang thought it was good and was about to fill the next cup when he suddenly thought of something.
“If humans no longer need gods, what will you do?”
After saying this, Suwako paused for a moment and then burst into laughter.
“So this is why we came to ‘Fantasy Town’.”
Frog then jumped onto the seat and stood there
“There are always stupid people who believe in the existence of monsters, there are vengeful spirits that need to be suppressed, and…”
She suddenly bent down and poked Zhou Guang’s cheek with her cold fingers.
“As for humans who are ‘not interested in being seen as gods’, with these people around, gods won’t be easily forgotten.”
Zhou Guang agreed with this.
Yasaka Kanako didn’t know if she had drunk too much, she snorted softly
“Hmph~ What do frogs in rice fields know?”
She took a bite of the pickled radish
“Gods are like the snow on the top of a mountain. Whether there are people looking up at them or not, they will melt when they are supposed to, and crystallize when they are supposed to… well, they will transform into a new form at that time! After all, ‘Gods’ are not static beings.”
They came to “Fantasy Town” to seek some kind of change.
“Let’s not talk about this. Come on! Drink!”
Zhou Guang was persuaded to drink again.
He did not refuse and started a drinking contest with the two gods.
All this was stopped until the appearance of Kofutani Sanae.
Facing the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine, Shuguang and the gods looked at each other without saying a word. Everyone decided to tease the girl in front of them a little bit…
Chapter 57 Restaurant x Moriya Shrine, linkage confirmed, Sanae thanks (please collect flowers!) (old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 57 Restaurant x Moriya Shrine, collaboration confirmed, Sanae thanks (please collect flowers!) Picture and text
Being teased, Kofutani Sanae was shocked and didn’t know what to say.
Although she thought about collaborating with the owner of the popular restaurant in some way, she never planned for them to become husband and wife.
Seeing Sanae panic, the gods sitting on both sides burst into laughter.
“Of course I’m joking. Although I like Zhou Guang very much, I have no intention of sending my own shrine maiden away.”
“Having said that, the wine and food that Shuguang brews are indeed delicious. If we can cooperate, it will definitely bring about many changes.”
Suwako and Kanako were talking to each other.
After hearing the explanation, Sanae, holding her cheeks with both hands, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Sanae looked at Shukou…
She is a handsome young man, but Sanae has no plans to get married at the moment.
As a shrine maiden of the Moriya Shrine, she still has many things to do.
“Suwako-sama, Kanako-sama, you seem to have drunk and eaten a lot… There isn’t much money for offerings to the shrine these days.”
There are quite a lot of wine glasses, dishes and bowls on the table…
Zhou Guang understood Sanae’s concerns, so he left his seat and walked towards the kitchen.
Even though he was not drunk, Zhou Guang still poured himself a cup of sobering tea to improve his concentration.
Then he said to the witch in front of him
“Don’t worry about that, Miss Sanae.”
“So, then… Mr. Shuguang means…?”
“I’ve heard some information from Wen.”
“Could it be… cooperation?”
“Yes, Moriya Shrine is planning to cooperate with the restaurant, right? I allow you to put up a small advertisement here to promote your shrine.”
well?
Sanae was very surprised.
She clearly didn’t say anything, but Zhou Guang still passed it directly.
Could it be that Suwako and Kanako-sama informed us in advance?
Sanae couldn’t help but look at the two gods she believed in, and they both showed surprised expressions.
It seems that everyone is the same, no one knows…
“After this, I will also design a cake for Moriya Shrine to use as ‘promotional material’, but 80% of the profits will be mine.”
“Eighty percent…”
In the outside world, Sanae is a science student with a very rational mind, but she occasionally pursues some uncommon things in Gensokyo that do not exist in the outside world.
That’s why Sanae thinks that ’80 percent’ of profit is very high.
So she was curious
“Assuming… the cakes are very popular, what does Mr. Shuguang plan to do with the money?”
“There have been a lot of takeout orders recently, so I plan to start a takeout service. Therefore, I need to hire some Tengu, and of course I have to pay them wages.”
“I see. But Mr. Shuguang is the only one in the restaurant right now, right? Can one person handle both takeout and in-store sales?”
“Indeed, it’s time to consider hiring new staff…”
Who is suitable?
Several options popped up in Zhou Guang’s mind, and he couldn’t decide on one immediately.
Unlike the problem she was struggling with, Sanae was thinking about the question of ’80 percent profit’.
Before she could answer, Suwako and Kanako said in unison
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
The two gods showed no hesitation.
Sanae hurried forward.
“I am very grateful to Mr. Zhou Guang for his help, but…”
“It’s okay, Sanae, you haven’t tried the food made by Shuguang brother yet, right?”
After saying this, Suwako picked up a piece of oden and stuffed it into her mouth.
Huh?!
It’s the aroma of meat, corn, and the unique flavor of thick soup.
Rather than calling it oden, it is more like a delicacy that can only be found in a ‘hundred-flavor pot’.
Being able to blend these flavors together without any rejection or cancellation…
How exactly is this done?
Sanae, who usually only cooks simple dishes, has no answer at all.
Seeing her expression, Kanako drank the last bit of wine generously and raised the corners of her mouth.
“It tastes great, right? As long as it’s popular enough, even if we only get one-tenth of the profit, it’s enough. After all, there’s no reason why the snacks made by Zhou Guang won’t sell well.”
After having eaten and drunk her fill, Kanako was very optimistic about this cooperation. She had no objection even if Shuguang took the lion’s share.
After chewing and swallowing the oden, Sanae had a real-life experience and understood why the two gods agreed.
If there are enough of them, it will bring about a huge change;
It’s a very simple math problem.
If the 20% profit is calculated on the huge sales volume, Moriya Shrine will not have to worry about its future!
At that time, we can not only attract worshippers with delicious food, but also use the profits to continue to renovate the shrine, expand its area, and make it bigger and stronger!
final–
Beyond Hakurei Shrine!
Sanae planned the future in her mind.
No, it should be called imagination.
She clenched her hands into fists
“I understand. Please cooperate with us, Mr. Zhou Guang!”
After saying this, Sanae stretched out her right hand towards Shuguang in the kitchen.
Zhou Guang responded with a smile and held the girl’s right hand.
“Thank you! Mr. Zhou Guang!”
Witnessed by the two gods, Suwako and Kanako, the joint plan of “Restaurant x Moriya Shrine” was finalized.
Chapter 58: Letter from Kazami Yuka (Please collect the flowers!) (Old version)
Zongman: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Gensokyo: Chapter 58: A Letter from Kazami Yuuka (Please Collect Flowers!)
After Suwako and Kanako had eaten and drunk their fill—
Sanae Kofudani asked the two gods to go back, saying that she still had work to do at Moriya Shrine.
Seeing the serious expression on her own shrine maiden’s face, Suwako fiddled with her hat slightly.
“It’s time to go. Once we have designed the ‘linkage plan’, we will contact Brother Zhou Guang then.”
“That’s right… The monsters in Monster Mountain have been relatively well behaved during this period, so it’s a good idea to advance the plan.”
Kanako, who was speaking next, smiled and patted Shuguang on the shoulder, saying that she would come again later.
Seeing the gods preparing to go home, Tofutani Sanae followed them and asked with a worried look before leaving.
“Mr. Shuguang has a bad relationship with Hakurei’s miko. He chose to cooperate with us this time. There won’t be any conflicts, right…”
“Don’t worry about that, Miss Sanae. Reimu is not that unreasonable.”
“Okay… I hope everything goes well from now on, and we won’t bother Mr. Zhou Guang anymore.”
Sanae waved goodbye and disappeared in front of the restaurant with the two gods of Moriya Shrine.
The whole hall suddenly became much quieter.
While Zhou Guang was cleaning up the dishes, he was thinking about who to hire as an employee.
“You smell strongly of alcohol…”
Halfway through his thought, the obvious smell of alcohol made Zhou Guang frown.
He planned to take a cold shower after finishing his work.
Anyway, the weather in ‘Gensokyo’ is nice during this period.
It is the time when all things come back to life and flowers bloom.
“Who else will be here today?”
Zhou Guang stared at the plates spinning in the dishwasher, and glanced out the window with the corner of his eye. He found someone leaning on the window and looking into the store.
The other person’s gaze quickly met Zhou Guang’s.
Her eyes widened, then she hurried to the door and pushed it open.
“Excuse me!”
The girl with short white hair shook her furry animal ears and greeted him in a very energetic manner.
She wore a white top with a black skirt with red leaf patterns on it. This outfit, which didn’t have any sporty elements, looked lively on her.
Seeing the girl coming into the store, before Zhou Guang could say anything, she introduced herself.
“I am Inuzoku, a member of the Yamantengu clan of the monster family!”
Inuzoku is one of the white wolf tengu responsible for patrolling and guarding the Monster Mountain. She has the ability to see thousands of miles away.
With this information in mind, Zhou Guang asked
“Miss Inuzou, are you planning to buy something delicious here?”
“Actually, I came here not to buy anything, but just to deliver a letter.”
After saying that, Inuzou took out a letter from his sleeve and brought it to Zhou Guang.
“Since Mr. Zhou Guang has received it, I will take my leave now!”
“Would you like to sit down for a while? Would you like some water?”
“No, no, although patrolling the Youkai Mountain is boring, you will be punished if you leave your post for too long. If this commission was not from Master Kazami, I would definitely not leave the workplace.”
Lord Kazami…
Zhou Guang only thought of Feng Jianyouxiang.
She then opened the envelope.
At this time, Inuzoku also ran to the gate, said goodbye to Shuguang, and flew away…
Zhou Guang stopped staring at the door and looked at the contents of the envelope.
After reading it once, I understood the main point of the letter.
Simply put, Yuuka Kazami hopes that Shukou will prepare a special takeout meal for her and deliver it to the sunflower field in three days.
As for the reason——
It is the blooming season in Gensokyo again, and recently there is a sea of ​​flowers blooming in spring and summer.
Hearing that the food in Shuguang’s restaurant was delicious, Fengjian Youxiang placed an order and decided to enjoy the food and the scenery when the sea of ​​flowers was at its most beautiful.
Holding the letter, Zhou Guang, a chef, quickly thought of a takeaway meal.
Considering that Yuuka Kazami has an extraordinary taste, Shumitsu decided to use the freshest seasonal ingredients and combine traditional and innovative techniques to cook this delicious meal.
The first thing that comes to mind is the cold bamboo shoot salad made with fresh bamboo shoots picked in spring. It is not only refreshing and delicious, but also reflects the breath of spring.
In order to balance the taste, Zhou Guang also plans to pair it with an Italian cold soup made with tomatoes and basil leaves that are abundant in summer. This cold soup has the right amount of sweet and sour, which is both refreshing and appetizing.
For the main course, we thought of using freshly caught river fish to make steamed dishes.
Steaming not only preserves the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent, but the simple and healthy cooking method is also very suitable for flower-viewing occasions.
“For seasoning, it’s done with a small amount of shredded ginger, scallions, and a special sauce.”
Zhou Guang murmured softly, the above method can ensure that every piece of fish absorbs the essence of the seasoning, achieving the effect of color, aroma and taste.
Of course, desserts can’t be neglected either.
Zhou Guang plans to make a light cheesecake that combines strawberries and cream.
This dessert has both the sweet and sour freshness of strawberries and the richness of cheese, and with a little homemade jam garnish, I believe it can be a perfect end to the entire dining experience.
Zhou Guang, who was very efficient, immediately wrote it down in his notebook and contacted the shop selling the ingredients in advance.
Ding-a-ling~
Not long after Inuzouki left, the doorbell rang.
“Good afternoon, Zhou Guang, here I come!”
The red-haired girl visited the restaurant again.
She raised her right hand as she walked towards the counter.
“I didn’t come here to eat this time, but I brought you something.”
Kobayashi Ryodan raised his right hand with a smile on his face, holding a bag containing a freshly baked donut.
