Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

"My roots can finally move freely!"

"Ooh, it feels so good when he touches my leaves!"

Hearing the joyful cheers from the potted plants, Mengmeng seemed to be infected by their enthusiasm, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up: "Let's add another 5 points to him..."

Don't be fooled by Mu Huai's current low score; the average score of the blind dates rejected by the two sisters is negative, with very few even breaking zero.

To score 20 points in less than half an hour is an unprecedented achievement.

Just as Mengmeng was quietly admiring Mu Huai tending to the crops while cupping her cheeks, a strange female voice suddenly came from the outer corridor.

"Mu Huai, dinner is ready. Come in and eat."

"Okay, I'm coming!"

The two sisters frowned at the same time as they looked at Sanae, who was wearing a scarf and looked very much like a married woman.

(Who is this girl? She seems to have a good relationship with Mr. Mu Huai, and she even takes care of dinner at home.)

"Suspected of living with a person of the opposite sex with whom you have a very close relationship, deduct 50 points."

"Let's go inside and see if there are any other girls in his house!"

"Ok!"

The two entered the house and were surprised to find that, in addition to the green-haired girl from before, there was also a blue-haired girl who was eating rice.

Without saying a word, Nana snatched the pen from Mengmeng's hand: "Deduct another 50 points!!"

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 28, Momo: Hello, brother-in-law~

"Mmm~~~ Mmm!!! This dish is so delicious!" Lala squinted her eyes happily, her pink ahoge spinning rapidly like a propeller. "Sanae, can we have this dish again tomorrow?"

Sanae replied with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, but this dish was taught to me by Mu Huai. It would probably taste even better if he made it."

Upon hearing this, Lala immediately blinked her big, watery eyes at him, pouting and acting coquettishly, "Mu Huai~ Can you make this... seafood clam soup tomorrow!"

"no problem."

"Yay, I love you the most!!"

Seeing that Anzu was ignoring her and just kept eating, Banai realized that since there was no penalty of halving her dinner today, she had to make up for the portion she missed yesterday.

Aside from being her fiancée, Lala was less dangerous to her than a docile rabbit, far less threatening than the seemingly gentle and virtuous Sanae.

It was precisely because she sensed the crisis that Anzu Hachimi insisted on coming over every day to freeload meals and, incidentally, keep an eye on things, despite the risk of gaining weight.

It can prevent Sanae from running away and satisfy our appetites at the same time, so why not?

While the four were happily eating dinner, they were completely unaware that two hungry girls were squatting next to the sofa not far away.

"Goo~~"

"Damn it...why can we only watch them eat? Mengmeng, it's all your fault!"

"I admit it was my fault for not preparing food, but Nana, couldn't you just bear with it a little?"

Nana squinted and pointed directly at the dining table not far away, where the greasy aroma wafting from was the culprit torment the two of them: "If it didn't smell appetizing, that would be one thing, but this aroma is almost as good as the dishes made by the royal chefs, isn't it?"

“Indeed…” Mengmeng nodded in agreement. Her stomach felt like it was being wrung out by hunger, constantly screaming to her brain. Helpless, she tugged at Nana’s sleeve: “The kitchen is over there. Let’s go see if there’s anything to eat in the fridge.”

"it is good!"

The two girls immediately tiptoed into the kitchen. Mengmeng peeked out to observe the commotion outside, while waving her right hand at Nana repeatedly: "I'll keep an eye on things for you. Hurry up and get some food, and remember to get me some too!"

Nana rushed to the refrigerator and opened it. Inside, besides vegetables and fruits, there were some strange packages that she couldn't understand at all.

Fortunately, the alien cakes looked much the same as those on Earth. She quickly spotted two individually wrapped strawberry mousse cakes and, without a second thought, took them out and ate them with Mengmeng.

A piece of cake wasn't enough to fill Ling Qiba's and Si Qisi's stomachs, but they had no other choice. Opening food with labels they couldn't read without eating it would easily arouse suspicion, and eating the wrong thing and getting an upset stomach would disrupt their plans.

So after barely managing to fill their stomachs, they wiped their mouths clean and returned to the living room. At this time, Mu Huai and the others had just finished their dinner, and the mouthwatering aroma had dissipated a lot with the evening breeze, allowing them to catch their breath.

Before they could find a place to squat down and continue observing, a question suddenly came from the kitchen, making their hearts jump into their throats.

"Strange, who ate my two pieces of strawberry mousse?"

Mengmeng and Nana exchanged a horrified glance, never imagining that their momentary craving for food could potentially ruin their entire observation plan.

"Haha...maybe I was working on a new invention late at night and wanted something sweet, so you accidentally ate it."

Lala chuckled awkwardly and took the blame for something that wasn't hers. She couldn't remember whether she had eaten cake or some other dessert; she only remembered that it was very sweet.

Mengmeng clasped her hands together in remorse and silently apologized in her heart.

(I'm sorry, big sister, we can only ask you to take the blame for us for now. Nana and I will buy you and Sanae a few more strawberry mousses to apologize when we officially meet.)

To their surprise, when Mu Huai heard what Lala said, he immediately put down the plate he was holding, went around to her side, and pinched her soft cheeks and kneaded them like dough.

"I've already said that staying up late to do research is not allowed, even if you're an alien, staying up late is bad for your health!"

"But...but...this is a very important invention, it must be made as soon as possible!"

"Nothing is more important than your health? I asked Mr. Mikado, and even aliens get sick easily because of weakened immunity from staying up late."

"Waaaaah... I was wrong..."

"How dare this guy treat my sister like that!"

When Nana heard Lala admit her mistake, and even sound aggrieved, no matter what Mu Huai's reason was, she couldn't allow a boy to bully her sister like that, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go and teach him a lesson.

Fortunately, Mengmeng pulled her back in time, thus preventing her recklessness from exposing the two of them.

"Why are you stopping me! Didn't you see how badly that guy bullied my sister?!"

"I mean... can't you tell whether my sister is happy or sad right now?"

Mengmeng didn't intend to persuade Nana with words. Instead, she pulled her to the side of the two of them and pointed to Lala, who was smiling, saying, "Look closely, my sister is very happy to be cared for like this by Mr. Mu Huai!"

"She's being bullied by having her cheeks pinched, yet she's still so happy... I don't really understand love, could it be that my sister has really fallen for this human?"

Nana stared intently at the two interacting, seemingly trying to figure out what was going on between them.

"Well... I'm not entirely sure either. In short, our evaluation can't be based solely on our subjective feelings; we also need to take my older sister's thoughts into account. Based on her current performance... add 50 points?"

"I have no objection."

After rubbing Lala's wonderfully soft cheeks, Mu Huai let go of her hands and turned to walk towards the kitchen: "I'm going to make some strawberry mousse for Sanae. Next time you're hungry in the middle of the night, remember to just call me. I'll get up and make you something delicious. You don't need to rummage through the fridge for sweets."

Lala was intrigued by the suggestion, but hesitated for a moment before asking, "But wouldn't that wake you up?"

"You've woken me up quite a few times when you're sleepwalking, haven't you?"

"Yeah...hehehe, it's because you're more comfortable in bed, so I just subconsciously..."

"What?! You slept with that blockhead?!"

"What! Sister, you slept with him?!"

When Banai saw Anja slam her hand on the table in shock, she stood up and froze in place, because a voice that did not belong to her had clearly sounded out of nowhere.

Meanwhile, Mu Huai, who had been heading towards the kitchen, had somehow appeared in an empty corner, his hands resting on something, one in front of the other, his dark eyes slightly narrowed: "Two uninvited guests, will you show yourselves on your own, or do you want me to expose you in your true forms?"

Mengmeng glared speechlessly at Nana, who had exposed the two of them, then took out the invisibility grass from her pocket and appeared in front of everyone: "Long time no see, big sister, and... nice to meet you, brother-in-law."

Volume 3, "The Loser, the Alien Sisters, and Gensokyo High School": Chapter 29 - The First Encounter with the Sister-in-Law

Mu Huai knew his sisters-in-law would come knocking on his door sooner or later, but he didn't expect that these two would also like to play the invisible man game, just like Anna Hanami. If he wasn't mistaken, the strawberry mousse cake that Sanae ate was the one they ate.

The reason he was asking why was that he could smell the creamy and strawberry scent emanating from Mengmeng's mouth as she spoke.

"Mengmeng...and Nana, what are you two doing on Earth!?" Lala excitedly hugged her two younger sisters. Although Nana initially showed a happy expression, she immediately looked utterly hopeless after her older sister's ample breasts mercilessly slapped her cheeks.

(I'm supposed to be Mengmeng's older sister, so why is my bust size so much smaller than hers?)

Lala quickly released the two girls, put her hands on their shoulders, and introduced her sisters to everyone with a smile: "This one on the left is Nana, and this one on the right is Mengmeng. They are both my cutest little sisters~"

"My dear sister, such an introduction is far too impolite for our first meeting. Let us do it ourselves."

"Okay."

Mengmeng took two steps forward, gently lifted the hem of her black pleated skirt with both hands, and bowed by touching the heel of her right leg with the toes of her left foot: "Greetings, everyone. My name is Mengmeng Belia Deviluke, the third princess of Deviluke Planet."

Standing behind her, Nana's lips twitched slightly. She was so angry that she wanted to kick her sister. She knew that her sister had failed court etiquette every time, yet she still gave her the most difficult self-introduction in front of so many people.

If she had known it would be like this, she would have introduced herself first. Even if Mengmeng had been more elegant later, it would have just made her seem approachable and without any aristocratic airs.

However, there's no going back in life, and right now she could only grit her teeth and recall the few etiquette steps in her head, stiffly imitating them to make a barely correct gesture: "Greetings, my name is Nana Asta Deviluke, and I am the second princess of Deviluke Planet."

"Haha~ Nana, your movements are so awkward. Did you fail the court etiquette class again?" Lala patted her sister's tense body twice and comforted her in a carefree manner.

Nana blushed instantly when her older sister exposed her. If the place weren't so inappropriate, she would have already used her teleportation phone to summon her animal companions and start fighting with the cunning Mengmeng.

"I'll go make some tea."

"Wait, Sanae, I'll go with you!" Bana noticed that Anja was a little uncomfortable with the current situation. For some reason, she always felt that Lala's two younger sisters were looking at her like she was a thief.

"It's not appropriate to talk standing up, let's go sit on the sofa."

After the four of them sat down, Mu Huai began to look at Mengmeng and Nana.

They were wearing Lolita dresses of the same style, revealing their delicate, fair shoulders. The difference was that Mengmeng's dress was green and black, while Nana's was red and black.

Mengmeng's pink curly hair perfectly highlights her pure and gentle temperament, making people subconsciously want to protect her.

But Mu Huai knew very well that she was a classic example of a girl with a dark side and a mischievous personality. If you really thought of her as a simple girl like Lala, you would probably be tricked and lose your way.

Nana's somewhat impulsive temperament and her little tiger teeth tell everyone that she is an arrogant person. She is currently looking at them with displeasure because he is silently observing them.

"Why is my brother-in-law staring at us without saying anything? Is it because having my sister isn't enough, and he wants to take us into his fold too?"

Mengmeng is indeed a girl with a dark side; she dug a pit for Mu Huai right from the start. If he jokingly nods in agreement now, she will notify Sasdin, who is guarding outside Earth, to come and sink him to the bottom of the sea in a few minutes.

If you acknowledge a problem, it means you already have that idea.

Just like seeing cockroaches in your home, when they appear, it means that there are at least a group of small cockroaches hiding in dark corners that you don't know about.

Mu Huai wasn't one to back down either. Without a second's hesitation, she denied it outright: "Of course not. I was just marveling at how you three sisters truly are. If you only look at your appearance, it's really hard to tell who's who."

"Oh?" Mengmeng's lips curled up slightly, pleased with his reaction, but she still pressed on, asking, "Does Brother-in-law mean... if you kiss the wrong person, it's not your fault?"

"How could you possibly kiss the wrong person? Not to mention that your hair isn't even as long as Lala's, you couldn't possibly mistake her height alone."

"You're right, I was being too sensitive, I'm sorry."

Wow~ What a sharp little girl! Are you sure you can handle her?

[I'm a master of sarcastic remarks, Shinobu, just you wait and see!]

Yes, yes, I'll keep the radar on to scout the surroundings for you for a while, so that no more invisible people come to spy on you.

Okay, please.

Fifty plain donuts.

【receive! 】

Nana was secretly amazed by the subtle exchange between Mu Huai and Mengmeng. It was the first time she had seen Mengmeng not gain any advantage. In the past, she had managed to get the most out of her true thoughts from her blind dates in just three sentences.

This ordinary-looking Earthling, aside from being handsome, didn't reveal a single flaw, and even made Mengmeng take the initiative to end the conversation.

(This is unbelievable. If this guy really becomes my brother-in-law, I might consider learning from him.)

Compared to Mengmeng, who developed a slight liking for Mu Huai because of his careful care of the plants, Nana subconsciously thought he was a womanizer because there were other girls in his family.

Even though she acknowledged his eloquence, she didn't have much affection for him. However, because she impulsively ruined their observation plan, she was now determined to hand over the scoring power to Mengmeng.

Dealing with strangers wasn't her forte. If she found that Mu Huai was unreliable, her job was to forcibly take her sister back to Deviluke.

Sanae brought over the brewed black tea, then quickly returned to the kitchen, where she and Anana peeked out from behind the door frame to watch the show.

"The self-introduction segment is over. Now I want to know why you two used props to sneak into my house."

"Of course, it was because I found out that you have a fiancé that I wanted to observe what kind of person you are, so I did this."

Mengmeng directly revealed her plan, half-truthfully. Since the plan had already been exposed, hiding it would only arouse Mu Huai's suspicion, so it was better to just tell him directly to temporarily gain his trust.

This also makes it easier for them to further investigate his character and nature.

"actually..."

Before Mu Huai could finish speaking, a laser shattered the glass of the living room balcony, and Sasdin, along with two men in black, stood up in a disheveled state, covered in glass shards.

“I’m very sorry, Lord Mu Huai. We had to resort to this violent method because we couldn’t get into the house directly.” Sasdin said, his sharp eyes looking at Mengmeng and Nana who were huddled together. “Princess, Lord Qiduo has ordered me to send you back to Deviluke to continue your studies.”
