Because she knew all too well that approaching someone rashly before learning about them could easily leave a bad impression.
So over the past few days, she had used every means at her disposal to learn everything she could about Su Moqian.
And the notebook recorded the preferences Su Moqian had developed for girls, based on her investigations.
Unfortunately, the person she liked had preferences that had almost nothing to do with her.
But after the disappointed Asakura Miyuki had kidnapped Hayaki Mako yesterday, a crazy idea suddenly occurred to her.
Since Su Moqian didn't like girls like her, all she had to do was capture every type of girl he liked and train them to become hers.
That way, she'd achieve, in the most literal sense, I have every type he likes!
Then surely Su Moqian would choose her!
As she fantasized about a beautiful future, the smile on Asakura Miyuki's face grew wider.
"Now, who should I choose next? Raiden Mei, the second-year student?"
A thoughtful look appeared in Asakura Miyuki's eyes, but she soon shook her head.
"Forget it. How could Moqian possibly like her? She's just a washed-up loser. She's no use to me."
"Hmm... Kiana, the new transfer student, really is the better choice. She fits the energetic-girl type, too."
After thinking of a suitable target, a hint of excitement appeared in Asakura Miyuki's eyes.
"Everyone says she and Moqian make a great pair. I'm sure he'll be thrilled when I bring her here!"
Wish Time!
Coffee shop.
Before long, Su Moqian decided to make a wish.
After opening the system's wish interface, Su Moqian didn't plan on relying on any superstitions. Without much hesitation, he clicked the wish button.
The next moment, a point of light streaked in from afar. As soon as it reached him, it eagerly revealed its true form...
After waiting a little while, the result of the wish finally appeared before Su Moqian.
The first thing he saw was an illustration. A beautiful blonde woman in a white knight's uniform appeared on it. Her name was:
Beside it was the information for this wish's result:
[Wind Pressure Sword: Gathers invisible wind energy and releases a small-scale storm that can pull in and launch targets.]
Looking at the result, Su Moqian furrowed his brow and asked in confusion, "System, are you sure this big sister... counts as a blondie?"
Judging by the illustration, this woman named Qin looked like a thoroughly righteous person. How could she be a blondie?
Faced with Su Moqian's doubts, the system put its hands on its hips. [Just tell me—is her hair blond or not?]
"...Well, it certainly is." Su Moqian's mouth twitched. He was at a loss for words.
He had never imagined that the system's blondie restriction was really just meant literally.
Realizing this, Su Moqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As the host of the Blondie Simulator, he might run into a fight someday. If he could only use perverted skills to fight, that would be mortifying.
"Then let's try one more time."
Su Moqian saw that he had exactly 160 Wish Power left, so he decided to make another wish.
Another meteor fell and revealed its true form:
[C1 Spider: Clay Spiders can be created using physical stamina or Honkai Energy. They can be controlled and made to explode. Their explosions are relatively weak.]
"This time I got a real sneaky skill?" A thoughtful look appeared in Su Moqian's eyes.
The moment he saw the skill, his mind had already come up with several optimal ways to use it.
In modern society, using Clay Spiders to assassinate someone would probably be much safer than using a firearm. No matter how thoroughly they investigated, they'd never trace it back to him.
Su Moqian was very satisfied with this wish's result.
He was currently living a peaceful, ordinary life, so these offensive skills weren't much help to him.
But no one ever minded having more cards in their hand. They might come in handy someday.
He was sure they would also improve his odds during the rescue. He'd have a better chance when he faced off against the yandere girl.
"Great! I'm sure I won't mess up this time. Let's start the simulation!"
[Day 1: You weren't the type to sit around when trouble arose, so you investigated the clues Asakura Miyuki had left behind while kidnapping people.]
[After spending some time, you successfully found a lead to Asakura Miyuki, but you didn't find any evidence of her crimes.]
[You realized that Asakura Miyuki had prepared all of this to lure you into going there alone.]
[Unwilling to give up, you decided to look for clues at Asakura Miyuki's house. But when you arrived, you discovered that she was still at home, so you had no choice but to hide.]
[What's more, you discovered that Kiana was there drinking tea. She soon fell asleep, and Asakura Miyuki gave an ill-intentioned smile as she approached Kiana.]
[You were frantic to save her, but before you could move, a voice as cold as ice, like that of a queen, rang out. A powerful force immediately leveled the entire area. You died.]
[This simulation has ended.]
[Congratulations, host, on achieving the ending: "Dead Before You Even Get Started"]
[Based on the results of this simulation, your reward is: C-rank Honkai Energy Adaptability.]
[This ending received an F-rank rating. Your Wish Power reward is: 20 points.]
"Gah... Is my head still on my shoulders?!"
Su Moqian clutched his head and sucked in a sharp breath.
What had happened after Kiana fell asleep? And who was the queen mentioned in the simulation?
She had such terrifying power that she had leveled the entire area around the house...
"Could a powerful Valkyrie have stepped in?" Su Moqian's expression darkened.
He guessed that a Valkyrie had seen Asakura Miyuki trying to harm an innocent girl and acted in a moment of urgency.
But that Valkyrie had probably overdone it, destroying the entire house and killing him along with everyone else inside.
"Calm down. Don't panic."
Su Moqian let out a long breath and forced himself to think.
Although this simulation had been very short, it had given him plenty of information.
He now knew that he didn't need to waste time looking for clues. He could go straight to Asakura Miyuki's house.
And he had to hurry. He needed to stop Asakura Miyuki from harming Kiana and rescue them before that "queen" made her move.
"In that case, I'd better get moving." Su Moqian furrowed his brow, his chest still rising and falling.
The ending of this simulation still frightened him.
The first two simulations had ended badly, too, but he'd only been imprisoned by yanderes. His life hadn't been in danger.
This time was different. He had actually died! And he'd died in no time at all!
If reality really unfolded the way it had in the simulation, he might have only a few hours left to live.
"Damn it, why was Kiana there...?" Su Moqian rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Kiana would become his rival in love someday, but after spending time with her, he had to admit that she was a remarkably infectious idiot.
Just having her around made him smile without even realizing it.
An innocent idiot like her deserved a carefree life, not to die tragically in an accident.
"Looks like I still want to save her, even if it's dangerous."
"No, though. My motives aren't that pure. With a life debt between us, she ought to get the hint and stop competing with me for Mei."
Just as Su Moqian was thinking this, the system's voice suddenly rang out.
[You can say all you want, host, but you've still gone soft, haven't you? How cute~]
At that, Su Moqian's eyes widened.
"Don't you dare make things up! I-I'm just using a strategy! A strategy to turn an enemy into an ally!"
"Someone as rational as me wouldn't call that going soft. It's just that, because of the time difference, acting now gives me a better chance of succeeding than the simulation!"
At this, the system giggled. [No matter how stubborn you are, your lips are still soft when kissed~]
"Get away from me! I'm not interested in monster girls!"
I'm Not That Kind of Guy!
(Note: The simulation reward in the previous chapter was actually C-rank Honkai Energy Adaptability. It was written incorrectly before and has now been fixed.)
After learning that his only way to survive was to take advantage of the time difference, Su Moqian picked up the phone without hesitation.
He didn't need to keep trying to find clues or evidence. He just had to charge straight into Asakura Miyuki's home.
Once the call connected, a gentle female voice came through.
"Hello? Su, what do you need from your teacher?"
"Teacher, I need your help. I'd like Asakura Miyuki's home address. She's a first-year student. Could you look it up for me?"
After explaining what he wanted, Su Moqian spoke again to keep the teacher from getting suspicious.
"Asakura was bullied outside school before, and I was the one who helped her. I want to visit and see how she's doing now."
Hearing his reason, the homeroom teacher stopped questioning him and smiled.
"You're so thoughtful and considerate, Su. Don't worry. I'll ask her teacher and send the address to your phone shortly."
"Sounds good."
Su Moqian nodded, then hung up.
While he waited, he didn't just stand around doing nothing.
He put on the face mask, gloves, and other gear he had packed in his schoolbag to prepare for what came next.
Soon, Su Moqian received Asakura Miyuki's address, along with an accompanying message:
"Su, your teacher knows you're popular, so I'd suggest you quit while you're ahead. Don't try to juggle too many girls at once~"
Looking at the message from his homeroom teacher, Su Moqian's mouth twitched.
"I'm not that kind of guy, okay? I, Su Moqian, love only Raiden Mei!"
After making that declaration, Su Moqian immediately hailed a taxi and headed straight for Asakura Miyuki's home.
Asakura Miyuki's home.
"Kiana, you finally came! Thank goodness!"
Asakura Miyuki had just opened the door. When she saw Kiana standing outside, she looked delighted.
Kiana immediately patted her chest. "Don't worry. With me here, no one can lay a finger on you!"
"By the way, are those people still hanging around your house?"
Asakura Miyuki had managed to invite Kiana over by appealing to her sense of justice.
First, she somehow got Kiana's phone number. Then she called and said that the thugs who had bullied her before were lurking around outside her house, and that she was scared.
The justice-loving Kiana couldn't sit still after hearing that.
Without another word, she rushed straight to Asakura Miyuki's door.
"Thank you, Kiana. It seems they saw you come over and didn't dare show themselves."
Asakura Miyuki pressed one hand to her chest and put on a meek, frightened expression as she spoke softly.
"Could you stay a little longer? I'm afraid they might come back later..."
"Of course! I'll protect you!" Kiana gave her a sunny smile.
