Spring Is in the Air, All Things Awaken, and It's That Time Again
A guy like you would be a traitor in wartime!
If you disrupt Princess perfect strategy, you will have to pay with your Princess. I'm just giving you a rather difficult task, and you're already telling me 'no'?
What use is a pet like you!
Organizations are never places for banquets. Your biggest mistake is not recognizing who your master really is, and whose Eientei truly belongs Eientei.
Do you know why Yue Fei died?
And so, with tears in her eyes and adorned in the divine armor she had received from Reisen, Reisen glanced back at Kaguya standing at the door, watching her with encouraging eyes, before taking her first step on the long Kaguya.
This is a journey of no return!
If there's no road ahead, let me, the big rabbit, carve out a broad and smooth road for you!
Three days later, Reisen returned, looking disheveled but unharmed.
Kaguya thus obtained crucial information, which enabled her to devise a strategy that even Mo Yi would find impressive.
All of this was based on the crucial intelligence that Reisen obtained at great personal risk over the past few days. (In fact, Reisen was discovered on the first day, but thanks to the anti-aging medicine given to her by Kaguya, she transformed into a pitiful little girl and successfully Moe Pass. However, she was only captured and kept as a pet for a few days before being sent back.)
Yuuka Kazami, though an extremely ferocious great yokai, has a fondness for cute lolis and only knows how to capture and manipulate them—all part of Kaguya's plan.
Kaguya was angry, but she would never actually send her own pet to its death.
(This is an outdated Touhou Project series, and some people may not recognize the characters. Here are some pictures of the characters that appeared in the series, starting with Reisen from the first episode.)

PS: Episode 62. Mei Chapter 1.7: After hearing Mo Yi's explanation, the real Kiana naturally went along with it, expressing her desire to learn cooking from Mo Yi, wondering if that was possible. Mo Yi: "..." Honkai 4's Kiana is a perfect young lady, her cooking skills even impressed Mo Yi, no less than his own. But since she wanted to, it didn't matter; she was just as good as herding two sheep. However, since it was Miss Mei brought it up, it depended on Miss Mei's opinion. "Mei, is it okay?" The real Kiana looked at Mei with pitiful yet expectant eyes. Miss Mei: "..." I'm so angry! If I said no, wouldn't Mo Yi think I'm petty? That hateful Kiana, was this all part of your plan? But my real plan hasn't started yet; this is just Plan A to cover it up! I'll let you be smug for a while; soon you'll know who the only King is! "Of course, Kiana."
Chapter 171: Spring is here, flowers are blooming, and all things are reviving.
After formulating her strategy, Kaguya prepared for the second step – laying the groundwork.
Simply put, it's about persuading Yagokoro Eirin, the head butler of Eientei, to let her hold this 'First Duel King Tournament'.
In fact, Eientei has been in a hidden state in Gensokyo at this moment, covered by a barrier set up by Yagokoro Eirin and Kaguya.
According to the original storyline, it should have been after the Eternal Night Incident that Yagokoro Eirin, in order to escape the Lunar Capital's pursuers, launched the incident, covering up the moon and creating a fake moon, causing the youkai in Gensokyo to go berserk, which led to Eientei officially appearing in the eyes of the major powers in Gensokyo.
Of course, that's the original storyline. There are so many parallel worlds, how can the so-called storyline be considered the true original storyline?
It might just be a product of someone accidentally connecting to information about the Gensokyo world and then embellishing it artistically.
Neither Yagokoro Eirin nor Houraisan Kaguya were the type of people who liked to go out, so they continued to live in seclusion without any particular concern.
However, Yagokoro Eirin never expected Kaguya to suddenly pull such a stunt; she really couldn't figure it out.
Despite Kaguya's various seemingly reasonable arguments, such as "It's time to let Gensokyo know the name of Eientei," Yagokoro Eirin finally agreed.
Of course, the most important reason in her mind was that the Princess had been addicted to the internet for so many years, and it was rare for her to take the initiative to ask to cause trouble, so how could she refuse?
Who knows, this could be a major opportunity to treat someone's internet addiction!
Of course, she had also wondered if it was because of the online boyfriend in Reisen's report.
That's even better!
The other party had been hiding in the shadows, and she had no way of finding out about them. Now, however, this was a golden opportunity.
Thinking of this, Yagokoro Eirin couldn't help but squeeze the test tube harder, causing it to burst open and the suspicious pink medicine splashed all over her.
"When spring arrives, flowers bloom, and all things revive, it's time for the Reisen to reproduce."
Having made all the preparations, Kaguya proudly told Mo Yi about it.
"He truly is my dearest friend!"
Her Highness the Princess: "..."
Kaguya was too tired to even comment anymore. Now that they were separated by a dimension, many things were hard to say, and many things were better left unsaid than spoken.
"I'll let you know once I've made all the necessary preparations. I'll meet you at the Sunflower Field then."
"Good--"
With Her Highness the Princess's considerations so thorough, Mo Yi only needs to follow her instructions.
Although the other party is shameless and persistent, they can still be relied on in crucial moments. The wisdom of the elders is not to be taken lightly.
"It's nothing, you can go open the shop, it's about time."
Her Highness the Princess said:
Goodnight, Mo Yi.
"Um--"
Mo Yi also replied:
Goodnight, Your Her Highness the Princess.
Looking at the blacked-out computer screen, the Her Highness the Princess happily pressed her hands to her face and muttered to herself, "That wretched Mo Yi, how dare he openly flirt with this Princess?"
"You'll pay a heavy price, you know—"
Her Highness the Princess, of course, Mo Yi is from the Celestial Empire. And in the Celestial Empire's language, "goodnight" has a special meaning. As someone who spends a lot of time in the online world and whose footprints are all over the world, Kaguya naturally knows this little bit of knowledge. (Goodnight also means "I love you, I love you," similar to the usage of "The moon is beautiful in Area 11.")
Mo Yi: No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! How did I flirt with you? I didn't know anything about it!
On the other side of the Honkai World
Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the video chat with the Her Highness the Princess.
Of the three free games he accepted, the pufferfish farming days were already finished, and the Late Night Diner was almost over. Both of these games required a long time to complete; they weren't particularly difficult, but they did require time and patience.
The remaining challenge, 'The Rise of the Plant King,' is quite simple: defeat Yuuka Kazami. However, since she is in another world, Mo Yi has no way to observe and slowly strategize. Once he is teleported there, he might have to fight her head-on.
Fortunately, he now had someone in Gensokyo. Although the Her Highness the Princess did not explain the process in detail, Mo Yi could guess that she had done a lot of research and preparation for it.
The other party was such a good friend that Mo Yi didn't know how to thank them enough.
