It has been a week ever since Reimu settled into her shrine, and immediately Dreamlanders have started visiting it to satiate their curiosity.

Compared to the previous shrine that she took care of before she went on to reincarnate in Popstar, the Iyori Shrine was gaining more donations! She had collected around 16 star coinsfrom the past few days ever since it's opening.

Some of them even hung up some papers on some of the suspended ropes that were around in front of the shrine, she didn't really remove them since it didn't bother her that much. Most of them were wishes it would seem, which Reimu couldn't really bring upn, that was supposed to be the Moriya's thing.

Either way it was nice finally gathering faith for once, even if she was just monopolizing Dreamland's faith for herself (yeah you suck at gathering faith Sun and Moon, you damn inanimate celestial bodies)

Moving on from that, Reimu had also decorated the interior of the shrine to her liking.

She only decorated the place with a kotatsu in the middle, a small bed fit for her, a vintage fridge that seems to work, and just a few pots and plants to "liven" up the interior because one Bronto Burt flew in and got one simple glance before flying off, muttering just how barren the inside is.

It was practically just how the interior of the Hakurei Shrine looked like, just with a few changes and influences from Dreamlander culture.

She has yet to advertise herself as a youkai exterminator simply because she still has no idea if Popstar even has some, let alone learn what they are, so she's just relying on donations for the time being.

And with that, it's a peaceful life thats for sure! Now she's startup to believe that Dreamland is actually very peaceful.

Surely nothing can break that..!

...

As she slept peacefully under the kotatsu, the sun slowly rising in the distance, wooden planks creaked from the footsteps of certain people, nearly waking the shrine maiden up, but she would turn over to her side with a grumble instead.

The footsteps would halt for a second or two, before they continued their efforts. It wasn't long before loud clattering of plates and ceramics would fill the shrine, disturbing Reimu's sleep once more.

"Ghh.." Her closed eyes twitched before she immediately grabbed the legs of the kotatsu and pulled herself out before looking at whoever barged into her shrine

"Okay, what is going on!?"

"WANY WANYA!" "WAN WAN!"

And Reimu shrieked too, stepping back as the two Waddle Dees all rushed to grab what was left of her fridge before running off outside, holding all her food ontop of their heads

She blinked from her spot, before her face contorted into disbelief and anger "H-hey!? What the hell are you two doing with my food!? Come back here!"

With a grunt, she would push her hands on the ground and stood back up before pursuing the two thieves, her adrenaline surging through her. But as soon as they got past under the Torii Gate, she stopped immediately in her tracks.

There her eyes widened

Hundreds of waddle dees and cat-like ninjas ran outside from afar, each dee seem to be carrying food dishes, fruits and delicacies, and they all ran in the same direction on the roadl

The two waddle dees would reunite with their brethren before following them, the shrine maiden immediately losing sight of them in the Waddle Dee stampede

There were Tacs in the stampede, cat-like enemies with robes would follow the other Waddle Dees, their bags occasionally dropping fruits before they're picked back up by the others from behind.

Her mouth was gaping, just what the hell are they all doing? It was almost.. She looked at the sun that started rising from the hills.. Five in the morning! And she was just starting to settle in..

She regretted thinking Dreamland to be an actual peaceful land, now she really doubted it's motto.

Groaning, Reimu stepped back into her shrine to properly dress herself in her shrine maiden clothes, seeing as she was just in her sleepwear earlier, something that she normally didn't wear until her parents instilled that into her mind.

It didn't take long before she was in her iconic shrine maiden clothing, which heavily resembled the Hakurei Shrine outfit that she wore previously before reincarnating in dreamland. Reimu had overseen the tailor that made this, alongside providing some minor detaild here and there.

She would walk outside and stop just a few feet away from the donation box, hand holding her gohei and the other readjusting her ribbon on the back of her head.

Then Reimu lets out a sigh "It seems that wherever I go, there's always incidents like these"

She would walk forward and out of the shrine, the stampeding army had already ran off into the distance, most likely they've done their thing, in their place are the denizens of dreamland such as Bronto Burts, Cappies, and a Sir Kibble, those knight guys using a blade boomerang as a weapon.

From their current expressions, it looks like they're just as grumpy as they are.

"Oye! If it isn't the Poppy Sis from that thing you call shrine!" The Sir Kibble spoke up, waddling towards her with an insulting tone

"You got you food stolen too eh?"

"I got business to do first" She replied "So can you please step out of the way so I can pursue these goddamn Waddle Dees?"

"Ain't letting you off without a fight first!" He fumed, grabbing the blade on their helmet with his hand as the others would turn to watch the two Dreamlanders, who were about to duke it off on the road "I've been grumpy all morning and I wanna burn off all that anger, and it would seem like you missy is the perfect target for my-"

SLAP SLAP!

Two ofudas would suddenly stick onto his face, the Sir Kibble stumbling back in surprise before shaking his head and then trying to pull off the ofudas

"W- hey! What's this thing!? Get this thi-"

KABOOM!

And in just mere seconds, the Sir Kibble would be enveloped in a small explosion not comparable to that of a Poppy Bro Sr's bombs, but enough to cover almost all of the poor knight's body.

What was left of his dignity was now just ash and soot, the Sir Kibble laying on the floor with feet twitching

"Does anyone want another taste of my paper slips too?" Reimu called, turning towards the others

The Cappy wearing a red mushroom would hop back and the Bronto Burts would look at each other before flying off

"N-nay" The Cappy responded, stuttering

"Good" Before she went on to follow the dirt road, passing by several looted houses and such. "And the sun is already starting to rise.." the Shrine Maiden complained.

It didn't take long before it led her to a forest, apparently the food theft was so extent that it got all the other Dreamlanders grumpy enough to fight her, it's as if they were fairies that got riled up from every incident, and this was just her first incident that she involved herself in ever since she arrived here.

From stray Waddle Dees to flocks of Bronto Burts, and even the wandering occasional knights here and there have even resorted to fighting her just to cool off, and each of them were met with exploding ofudas.

As the sun was finally high up in the sky, she was halfway through Dreamland where the bits and pieces of food crumbs alongside her intuition led her here.

However, something surprised her once she arrived, a trail of defeated Dreamlander denizens laid on the ground in front of her, their limbs twitching alongside swirling eyes.

"So someone was ahead of me.." She concluded to herself, before follow their trail.

The mess this mysterious traveler made was more obvious as she continued on ther path, Waddle Dees whose heads were stock on the wall, knocked out Cappies with their mushroom caps broken and countless other birds all laid on the ground too.

The only denizens that were still around to stop Reimu in her tracks were Bronto Burts, the only difference is that each of them had bandaids on their heads.

And they did little to stop her, their pitful attempt to tackle her was only met with a harsh smack in the face with her Gohei.

She had trusted the Intuition in her one more time, which had led her to cross a series of star decorated hills and islets across a massive river.

More resistance was met this time, as Poppy Bros began to try and inconvenience her, this time taunting the shrine maiden as they rolled on Apples and rode on bears.. Grizzos she remembered.

Unfortunately they were all met with either an explosive ofuda or her gohei to the face, as expected of Reimu.

She only winced once she got past a knocked out Poppy Bro Sr, who was mumbling things such as "S-swallowed.. euuugh"

...Girls are preparing.. Please wait warmly...!

Marisa was angry.. Or rather she was having the time of her life.

Before the whole Food Theft incident thing she was just minding her own business inside her house, testing all kinds of mushrooms that she plucked from the forest in Grass Lands.

She even got to borrow some stuff from two local magicians, which led to her escaping swiftly, with them proclaiming that she will pay!

Yeah right, she'll give their belongings back once she finally dies for the second time.

Anyway, she did figure out how to turn mushrooms into energy and plasma again, though with the help of the borrowed books that she got. Apparently if she concentrated hard enough to herself, she can tap into her inner "magic" reserves and it becomes malleable for her.

So the magic in this land is more like inner stuff instead of something that they have to research and use for? Well that's quite interesting.

Anyway, all that plasma would be contained in a jar to which she bought from a storeowner, the cap of the jar was removed and replaced with another cap that heavily resembled her old Mini-Hakkero.

The hakkero cap on the jar was designed to channel said Plasma, alongside incorporating metals that she could find in Dreamland.

Much to her surprise, some Metals found here do not rust at all! And many of them can be found in the marketplaces that a bunch of Dreamlanders go to for their needs and wants.

She still wasn't able to do her signature Master Spark with this sort of stuff, but she's able to replicate star magic with this! Molding mushrooms into plasma with just the aid of her cauldron before storing it in a glass jar, then empowering it with her inner magic so that she can shoot out star-shaped projectiles into whatever bad guy that she wants taken out!

And after that, her food storage got raided by a bunch of Tacs who proceeded to run away upon seeing her.

Currently she's out there beating up a bunch of Bronto Burts and Twizzies out of the sky and dodging projectiles that Cawcuns had shot to her.

She would'va grinned if it weren't for her species that gave her literally no mouth to smile with at all.

"Outta my way peckersome!" She shouted, slinging another star at a poor Cawcun, the star-shaped plasma smacked into it, sending the pelican-like bird spiraling to the ground in a horrified caw.

"Hehe!" She gripped her jar, still has some fuel left! She hopped before standing on her broom, something that she did several times after she finally got her broom from her mother "Incident perpetrator here I come! Better get ready because Marisa Kiri- Kasake is finally back in the incident resolving business!"

She kicked her broom, and then she zoomed off into the distance.

...

"Poyo?" The pink puffball looked back at the forest that he recently emerged from, scratching his head before shrugging and returning to his fishing spot, he had just decided to start fishing here on Float Islands for a rest before going back to his journey to the mountain that the army ran towards.

Today has been an eventful day, previously Kirby didn't know he had actual abilities until he finished clearing out Castle Lololo! simply put, by inhaling and swallowing those that had an element of sorts, he gained an ability that greatly resembled the powers of his previous opponent. This resulted in said opponent being ejected out of him instantly instead of being manifested back into existence after a few minutes however, but they still were knocked out from him gulping them up after all.

Sure the dish that gave him hot flaming breaths was good but his new Fire Ability just from inhaling fire related enemies were way better, buut the downside was that he'd lose them if he gets hit.

There could probably be more abilities out here if he inhales more of his enemies? Eh, that could wait, for now he has to focus on fishing..

"Pooyoh!" he rejoiced

and he waited.. And waited... And waited...

...Until the fishing line bopped! And Kirby instinctively pulled onto the rod, reeling the rod in with all his strength as he struggled with sweat pouring out.

"IYAAA!" A large Blipper would hop out from the water, covering the sun above the puffball for a moment before gravity took hold

"AYAIIIYIYIY-" Kirby flailed before the Blipper finally landed, entirely crushing the poor puffball underneath.

...

"Uwaaii" Kirby cried out from underneath, a pink stub.. His hand emerging just out of the abnormally fat blipper, and he desperately raised it before it dropped back down.
