Bill Cipher.
The supreme evil god from the American cartoon Gravity Falls, aged in the quadrillions of years.
Native to the original second dimension, he predates the birth of the universe. After destroying his own dimension, he moved on to invade others.
Aside from a personality resembling a nasty brat, his magnificent power possesses almost no flaws.
Ordinary people would die in agony just by hearing his true name.
Of course, that is assuming Suke can confirm that this powerless triangular corn chip in his hand is actually him.
If it really is that Evil God, then his farm is truly something else.
First Bubbles, and now a Corn Chip; one can only say he isn't playing low-end matches anymore.
Will a carpenter with a hole in his hand come to build a house for him someday?
Suke poked the corn chip that Tsukishiro Yuki had handed to him. The corn chip wriggled, but then played dead, daring not to react further.
"Don't play dead."
"You're already here, so face reality, Little Crispy."
"Didn't you always desire a tangible body you could see and touch? Look, how crispy and delicious you are now~"
Before Suke could attempt anything else, a familiar female voice rang out from the side.
Purple hair reaching her waist, dressed in a red and black Lolita dress.
Under Gudako's dumbfounded gaze and Mash's eyes—which widened at something unknown—the owner of the General Store arrived just like that.
[...]
[To think that one day I would fall into the hands of lowly five-sense creatures; this is a massive humiliation!]
An eye suddenly grew on the golden triangular chip, startling Gudako who had poked her head over to peek.
[Yog, quick, help me kill them all!]
[Our powers come from the same source; we are natural allies!]
[As long as we occupy this place, we can... Urgh!]
The golden triangular chip shook with effort, seemingly trying to power up and float into the air, but evidently, it failed.
After struggling for a long while, it eventually tumbled off the edge of Suke's palm and fell onto the ground, causing its body to chip, with some crumbs melting into the mud.
[Ah! Damn it, how can such an unreasonable broken place exist!] the triangular chip screamed in pain.
"Who is from the same source as you, Little Crispy?"
"Mabel-chan comes from the 'Unknown'. Although both are 'Omniscient and Omnipotent', there is a fundamental difference~"
"Oh, and 'Love'. The current Mabel-chan is full of love for everything~"
As if thinking of something, Mabel placed her hands in front of her chest and made an exaggerated heart gesture.
Why is the old crone posturing like a virgin?
Although this thought might be attacking more than one person, Suke still felt a bit uncomfortable watching Mabel's affectation.
What gods, demons, devils... he didn't understand that mumbo-jumbo.
If possible, Suke really wished that bus which picks people up could take all these demons and monsters away.
His little temple in Stardew Valley couldn't accommodate so many great deities!
"This beautiful lady, may I ask your name?"
It seemed Gudako was instantly charmed by this old crone and had already stepped forward to hit on her.
I advise you Chaldeans to watch your step.
If those two lolis, Gaia and Alaya, found out that you, Gudako, wanted to invite a 'High-End Hajimi' back home, they'd probably be scared enough to prune your worldline directly!
"Mabel-chan's name? Can't do. Mabel-chan's favorability with you isn't high enough, so I can't tell you my name."
"Huh?"
"You have to capture Mabel-chan just like in those Galgames, constantly grinding favorability for Mabel-chan. Wait until the time is right to trigger Mabel-chan's special event, and only then will Mabel-chan tell you her name~"
"Of course, it must be the opposite sex to trigger the special CG~"
The purple-haired girl narrowed her eyes, which seemed to contain an entire universe, and winked at Suke.
Suke had reason to suspect she was cosplaying her best friend, the Red Idol, but he had no evidence.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore~"
"Farmer, leave this Little Crispy to me for now~"
"Although it's just an avatar like Mabel-chan, the weight is decent~"
"Originally, I might not have been able to handle it, but it's a pity it has no property deed here, while Mabel-chan does~"
"I'll help you process it harmlessly first; afterwards, it might even become your aide~"
"————Of course, you have to pay!"
[Yog, you!]
[Ah——]
The triangular chip picked up by Mabel tried to struggle, but found itself like Zhu Di stumbling into the Golden Throne Hall in a dream.
Trespassing on the Emperor's turf~
It thought it was just taking revenge on a petty thief, not realizing it had poked a hornet's nest.
If it had known beforehand that these ghostly things were hidden under the ground of what looked like a stinking countryside, it wouldn't have come over following the conceptual item even if beaten to death!
The triangular chip's electronic scream stopped. When Mabel's palm clenched and released, it vanished without a trace.
Mabel didn't stay much longer either; holding the feather duster used for cleaning the General Store, she hummed a song and went back.
This inconsistent style made Suke suspect something was wrong somewhere.
"Animus has so many pretty girls around him~"
"Animus didn't tell me before that there was such a girl in town who was interested in Animus?"
"I thought apart from Little Sister Abigail, Miss Elysia, and my pure, obedient child Emma, there were no..."
Tsukishiro Yuki pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes. Meeting Mabel for the first time, she was also surprised that such an existence existed on her Animus's farm.
She originally thought that Door Witch Abigail was astonishing enough, but she didn't expect someone with an even bigger background.
What should she say? As expected of her Animus?
"Yuki, don't misunderstand!"
"That's just a posturing old..."
"Hm~?"
"Cough... Anyway, does she look like she's really interested in me?"
"How could Kami of their level... oh no, monsters and demons, be interested in romance?"
That is true~
Tapping her lips lightly with a finger, Tsukishiro Yuki thought about it and felt Suke made sense.
Compared to guarding against an existence whose joys and sorrows were unknown, it was better to guard against something more tangible.
For example, a certain Door Witch who always thought about destroying the pure sibling relationship would be better~
With this little interlude over, Spirit's Eve proceeded as usual.
Leading Tsukishiro Yuki back to the town square, Suke discovered that besides the haunted house and the haunted maze, Pelican Town had added quite a few other festive facilities.
Like an octagonal cage ring holding Skeletons and Shadow Brutes,
A fortune-telling tent with a peculiar crystal ball,
And someone cosplaying the Grim Reaper, wearing a cloak that covered their face and holding a large scythe.
Examples like these were too numerous to mention.
Suke first took Tsukishiro Yuki to queue for the haunted house. He had to say, this facility was quite popular.
As a result, the scene they saw was, unsurprisingly, a farm with forever only one person,
And a Prison Island mansion with forever only one person.
This made the two smile at each other after exiting the haunted house.
Everything was understood without words.
The girls who had arrived in Pelican Town from different worlds played quite thoroughly in this Spirit's Eve party.
Because the town automatically cleaned up dirt and traces at 2:00 AM every day, Suke allowed Jougasaki Noah to drag Natsume An-An around to run wild and scribble graffiti.
As long as she didn't paint inside Mabel's General Store, it probably wouldn't be a problem.
An experienced mercenary with high social skills like Bronya didn't even need mentioning.
He just didn't expect that Sin could actually play together with Elysia and the others.
Could this be the attraction between "Herrschers of Human" (Sin is a suspected scrapped draft of the Herrscher of Human)?
The Spirit's Eve festival was held for two consecutive days, which was different from the single day in the game.
Time quickly reached night.
To prepare a resting place for the girls, most of whom chose to stay overnight in Stardew Valley, Suke ran directly to the Farm and cleared out a room originally used for brewing wine.
He used wooden boards to partition out individual rooms, then placed beds and furniture, quickly transforming the house into a multi-person dormitory resembling a summer camp.
The time was now 8:00 PM.
The girls had just finished the dinner Suke prepared and were toasting and chatting in the Stardrop Saloon.
As a reliable adult, he naturally had to come and organize the sleeping quarters for the children first.
"Mr. Suke!"
"I've also placed the daily necessities for everyone. Is there anything else you need my help with?"
Hikami Meruru's voice came over. She was one of the few among the girls who possessed life skills.
Although she was most likely an illiterate,
Perhaps because she had taken care of the self-care idiot Tsukishiro Yuki for decades or centuries, she, who was raised by Tsukishiro Yuki as a daughter, looked more like a mother figure instead.
Elysia and Miria had wanted to come help too, but considering someone reliable needed to watch over the saloon,
In the end, only Meruru came over.
"That's all, thank you for your hard work, Meruru."
"Let's go, let's head back to the saloon. I also prepared a late-night snack; everyone is probably waiting anxiously."
He held the stepladder to let Meruru, who had finished placing the change of towels and clothes, climb down from the height.
The cliché plot of her missing a step and falling didn't happen.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Suke thought Meruru looked quite disappointed.
Having packed everything up, Suke intended to turn around and leave through the door.
"?"
However, at that moment, Hikami Meruru suddenly grabbed his arm from behind.
"Su... Mr. Suke!"
The girl's sudden nervous tremor, sounding like she was about to cry, startled Suke.
"The Great Witch's aura... it's so rich... I'm so envious..."
"I also want to stay with the Great Witch forever...!"
Seeming to know she didn't have the strength to truly hold Suke back,
Hikami Meruru simply steeled her heart. With a face bathed in tears, she hugged the man's body fiercely from behind like an octopus.
She felt herself adsorbed onto the man before her,
And felt herself closer to the Great Witch's aura than ever before!
"Mr. Suke, I beg you..."
"I beg you, let me stay here too. I'll do anything you ask...!"
"Even if it's...!"
Tears flowed uncontrollably as Hikami Meruru, face flushed red, spoke such words.
Sorrow and shame wove complicatedly across her face, which looked youthful but had actually weathered a century of years.
Suke: ?
Rebellious daughter, what are you doing!
