Marisa: Drink This Bowl of Poison Mushroom Soup, and We'll Be Friends

As Dio said, do you remember how many loaves of bread you've eaten?

This is the attitude of the vast majority of monsters towards humans.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, powerful yokai like Yuuka Kazami have long since transcended base desires and the nature of yokai, possessing their own independent thought. (In fact, Reimu Hakurei poses an extremely high level of danger to both humans and yokai; harming a sunflower in her presence is tantamount to suicide.)

Those monsters that are friendly to humans are all powerful ones. However, powerful monsters are not necessarily friendly to humans. And those monsters that have not yet shed their natural instincts are extremely dangerous to humans.

And what about the gods?

It's not necessarily that it's friendly to humans; of course, specific issues need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Therefore, the humans in Gensokyo can only live in villages called Human Villages, because Human Village are protected by the powerful youkai or gods who created Gensokyo, so they are quite safe.

But once they leave the Human Village, if they are eaten by monsters, they can only blame their bad luck.

Mo Yi's attempt to inquire about the Her Highness the Princess and find the humans trapped in the Human Village would be a waste of effort. Only by finding those who can move freely in Gensokyo could he possibly achieve his goal.

Marisa Kirisame is one of the most suitable people. Her profession is a mage, but she is still human at heart, and she has the highest level of friendliness towards humans.

If you encounter them, at most you'll be robbed, but there won't be any danger to your life.

"Hello--"

Mo Yi, who instantly understood everything, smiled and tossed the mushroom in his hand into the other person's hat, saying with a laugh, "I am Mo Yi, a magician who has just arrived in Gensokyo. I was looking for a friend to stay with, but I found myself lost."

"I apologize for the intrusion, but may I ask what your name is, Miss?"

Next, I have a favor to ask!

PS: Chapter 105, Bronya Arc 1.12: Although I don't know why Bronya calls me 'Captain' or why she's so fixated on this race that looks like it's just some random thing, how could Mo Yi refuse when she's so earnestly asking him for a favor? "Then leave it to me—" Mo Yi smiled, placed his hand on the car, and activated his rarely used skill 'Riding EX'. 'I've paved the way for you, Bronya, you just need to keep going.' Then, the Heavy-duty Rabbit emitted a burst of blue light, then burst into a speed that was too fast for anyone to see, instantly rushing off and overtaking a woman who was sucking on a lollipop and driving a stroller. The woman, who thought she had it in the bag, dropped her lollipop and, moved by the moment, couldn't help but sing 'Flower of Hope'.

Chapter 217: Marisa: After drinking this poisonous mushroom soup, we'll be friends!

After Marisa saw Mo Yi clearly, she was relieved and came over. He wasn't the mushroom monster she had imagined, but a human.

In Gensokyo, low-level youkai don't look human, while humanoid youkai are high-level youkai, and high-level youkai are all female. However, Mo Yi is male, so it can be concluded that Mo Yi is just a human.

Based on Mo Yi's modern clothes, Marisa could deduce that he was an outsider, someone who had come from the outside world of Gensokyo.

Outsiders are not uncommon in Gensokyo, and Marisa has seen quite a few. Of course, most outsiders are unintentionally drawn into Gensokyo, so most of them don't survive more than three days, unless they are lucky enough to end up in the human Human Village.

Yes, in Marisa's mind, outsiders are interesting, but also—despicable outsiders!

There were outsiders who tried to trick her, but in the end they only tricked themselves. After all, in Gensokyo, those who can't even fly are considered low-class and will eventually become food for youkai or wild beasts.

Marisa was a little confused after hearing Mo Yi's introduction. He actually said he was a magician?

Can men also become magicians?

Mo Yi: "..."

Apart from Gensokyo, which has a gender-specific setting, the vast majority of high-level combatants in other worlds are male.

Even in the Honkai World where the so-called God of Honkai is a girl, there are still powerful male figures like the Pot of this World Lord Green Otto, Kevin punches the whiny monster, the immortal Welt Yang, Siegfried the father-in-law, and the most mysterious male Captain in the entire Honkai World (don't be fooled by my daily splits and deck-washing on the Hyperion, I can carry Judas and use Heavenly Fire).

"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."

Thinking of the situation in Yuri Village, Mo Yi didn't know how to complain, so he could only nod with a kind smile and say, "This is normal in the outside world—"

Marisa: "..."

Is that so?

Well, actually there are only a few magicians in Gensokyo, and Marisa doesn't really know much about this. If the other party is a newly arrived magician, Marisa wouldn't mind helping them.

Even when she encounters outsiders, she doesn't mind helping them out.

So, under the persuasion of Mo Yi, a socialite who once had Peppa Pig tattooed on his mind, Mo Yi quickly became acquainted with the other party and started chatting and laughing.

Thirty minutes later, the two were sitting there, eating mushroom soup and having dinner together.

Looking at the colorful mushrooms bubbling in the snow-white soup, Mo Yi wondered what excuse he would use to refuse Marisa's hospitality.

Although Mo Yi was very confident in his resistance to poison, he did not have the idea of knowingly drinking a bowl of poison to refresh himself.

As for Marisa, who knows why she's been drinking for so many years and why she can still jump around like that.

So, Mo Yi decided to get straight to the point and told Marisa about the Her Highness the Princess he was planning to seek refuge with.

"Eientei?"

After listening to Mo Yi's description, Marisa shook her head and said:

"I rarely go to the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, so I don't know much about Da☆Ze."

At this time, Kaguya had not yet caused any trouble or launched the 'Eternal Night Incident,' Eientei's strength had not yet officially appeared in Gensokyo.

However, Marisa was very interested in the 'first Duel King Tournament' that Mo Yi mentioned. Marisa likes to get involved in anything that sounds interesting.

"But it's okay—"

Marisa scooped up a bowl of snow-white poisonous mushroom soup and handed it to Mo Yi, saying with a smile, "We'll go ask Alice later; she should know something."

"Yes, Alice is another mage who lives in the Magic Forest, but she is a racial mage, unlike me."

Mo Yi: "..."

Faced with Marisa's bowl of poisonous mushroom soup, Mo Yi finally accepted it, because the other party's smile was so bright and enthusiastic that it was really impossible to refuse.

After switching to five heroes whose abilities could increase resistance to abnormal statuses, Mo Yi realized that he had drunk the poisonous mushroom soup that night.

The taste is pretty good.

As for Alice, whom the other party mentioned, Mo Yi naturally knew her!

Alice Megatron was once one of Mo Yi's favorite Eastern characters. Why "once"?

This all started with the dark and cruel game that the Princess made Mo Yi play.

Now, facing the Her Highness the Princess's question— 'Mo Yi, which Eastern character do you like the most right now?'

Mo Yi could already subconsciously react instantly: I, Mo Yi, will always be a die- Houraisan Kaguya!

Marisa was in a great mood after seeing Mo Yi drink her mushroom soup, because no one had ever accepted her mushroom soup when she recommended it to others before. Today she had met a kindred spirit!

After drinking this bowl of 'poisonous chicken soup,' Mo Yi, you will be my best friend Marisa.
