[Current progress: Nobunaga has entered Kyoto. Thank you, thank you! v(^ ^~♡ ]
They say a farmer from Kyoto rented an entire farm and single-handedly chopped down a whole forest with an axe. Absolutely terrifying!
Xiao Zhu, who came from a poor family, decided to try his luck. At first, he was only supposed to help repair the house and its furnishings. Somehow, it turned into building a house.
The farmer paid him generously and was always giving him all kinds of fruit and vegetables. Xiao Zhu gritted his teeth and kept at it.
Hiyoshi, who had been falsely accused of stealing money, wandered into the farm. The farmer was watering the crops and handed him a radish. Hiyoshi looked bewildered, so the farmer took another look at him and pulled out a copper ingot.
“Oh, here, take this. I just smelted it today. Don’t be sad.”
The farmer comforted him with a beaming smile.
Nobunaga was on his way to Mino to meet Saito Dosan when he passed near the farm. Seeing the vast fields of crops, he leapt off his horse and ran straight over.
How had he never heard of such a huge farm near Kiyosu Castle?
The farmer had just come up from the mine, looking dusty and disheveled. Seeing someone in disarray running over, he greeted him with great enthusiasm.
Then he pressed a Tear Crystal into Nobunaga’s hand and thumped his chest. “Just found this today. It’s yours!”
The Tear Crystal glittered brilliantly. Nobunaga returned to his group, holding it with a bewildered look on his face.
Nene ran into the farmer at the market, and ever since, she received gifts from him every few days.
All kinds of beautiful clothes.
Overwhelmed, Nene kept turning them down.
Holding up a gorgeous bolt of satin, the farmer gazed at her tenderly. “Nene, you’re the most beautiful NPC I’ve ever seen…”
Nene: What…?
At the site of the One-Night Castle at Sunomata, Hiyoshi arrived at the tree-cutting spot and found that someone had beaten him to it.
The farmer, who had single-handedly chopped his way through half of Mino with an axe, greeted him cheerfully.
“What? You need that much stuff… Wait, why is this a mandatory quest!?”
The farmer yelped, then burrowed into the mountain of lumber and started rummaging around.
Hiyoshi was led around the piles of wood and saw all kinds of castle-building structures lined up in neat rows. His eyes nearly popped out of his head.
“Hey, hey, Xiao Zhu! Tell Lord Rokuro that we don’t need anyone to cut wood anymore. Get people over here to haul this stuff away!” Hiyoshi frantically shook his younger brother.

Having downloaded the Sengoku DLC, Diediemaru was thrilled. There was a vast stretch of land just waiting for her to fill it with kegs. It looked like she could play for ages, and there were all sorts of NPCs with plenty of side quests.
Every day, without fail, she gave gifts to the NPCs in Kiyosu Castle. Sometimes she even wandered onto other maps and gave gifts to mysterious NPCs.
Some NPCs did make outrageous demands for their quests, like 999 bombs.
But the rewards were generous, too!
Diediemaru realized that doing bounty quests was a quick way to earn money, enough to support her basic brewing operation, so she worked hard to complete NPC quests.
That NPC named Oda Nobunaga was way more generous than that old man Lewis!
More than a decade passed. Satisfied with her perfect completion progress, Diediemaru happily went to Nobunaga to reach the summit.
The Kyoto Totem Pole transported her to the altar at the Kyoto Shrine. She stepped before Oda Nobunaga, whose face held both solemnity and delight.
Not bad. He looks a little like Lewis with that same old expression. No wonder he’s from Stardew Valley.
“Diediemaru, you have done much for my cause. Tell me, what reward would you like?” Oda Nobunaga said gravely.
Diediemaru was thrilled. “Then let’s get started!”
With 100% completion, she could reach the summit!
Oda Nobunaga, who was suddenly teleported to Mount Fuji: …?
Diediemaru grabbed his hand. “Come on, say it! The line! That one!”

1. Sengoku-era Japan, but with Stardew Valley. A not-quite-authentic farming and everyday-life building story (?)
2. The passionate result of watching historical dramas and grinding away at Stardew Valley. I’m blending Stardew Valley with Don’t Starve, and there are fourth-dimensional disaster players (probably). Nobunaga and Hideyoshi are love interests, with lots of made-up character details.
3. Xiao Zhu (Xiao Ichiro): Toyotomi Hidenaga, Hideyoshi’s younger brother, also known as the Yamato Dainagon
Hiyoshi: Toyotomi Hideyoshi
Nobunaga: Oda Nobunaga
Nene: Kita no Mandokoro Nene
(Diediemaru: Maru was a childhood nickname for boys in the Sengoku period. I’m not illiterate; the female protagonist is a history buff and doesn’t know that… looks away)
There are unrequited feelings.
The male leads change over time: No. 1 is Ashikaga Yoshiteru (offline), No. 2 is Oda Nobunaga (online).
[The historical research is not rigorous. Historical nitpickers, please stay away. No writing or character guidance, please. This is a self-indulgent offering from the edge of the Arctic Circle. I’m a compulsive reviser! I may even change little details in the blurb, so the blurb comes first and the main story later! If the plot requires it, I’ll go back and revise the blurb!
I haven’t read any Stardew Valley stories, so this is very much my own take on Stardew Valley. If anything doesn’t match the game, the author may simply have played five cents’ worth! Thanks for your support!]
Theme: Farming!!
Why don't any of these male guests try to occupy the ecological niche vacated by Chachahui [dog head]
It's you, Yihui. Resurrection from the dead, otherwise I would never have thought that the chrysanthemum that symbolizes the royal family would be used as a code name by someone [Like]
Sen no Rikyu is such a good person [star eyes] [like]
Speaking of which, what have you forgotten... Maybe Chochomaru's cheap dad finally got the news [scared] I feel like Kenshin's side should have been shown off a long time ago, and Ieyasu decided to follow the example of Nobu, and he won't like people in the future ///The wife's reputation comes from this man liking Odaisho [dog head]
Save my cheeks, is it a little too difficult to hold it in during class🥺
When you think of the setting of Die Die Maru as a bit of a social fear, you will feel hahahahahahaha
Both of them think too much, but they are not on the same line
I was so busy that I realized that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, teacher [star eyes]!
Abolish the case and let it go! Want to see [bad laugh]
