The Captain Just Wants to Go Home and Play Games

"Is that so? I understand—"

Kaguya smiled kindly, but even through the screen, Mo Yi felt a chill. He calmly replied, "So, you mean you've only seen the black and white, non-colored ones?"

Mo Yi: "..."

"Your Highness, how can you slander someone's name out of thin air like this!"

At this moment, still unsure if he had actually seen the fan comics, Mo Yi became resolute and frantically convinced himself, "I, Mo Yi, have truly never seen NEET Princess's fan comics!"

Kaguya, looking at Mo Yi's expression through the computer screen, genuinely looked like he wasn't lying.

Of course, she also gained an important piece of information: Wu Wu Kai's real name was Mo Yi. As for being called NEET Princess, when she first encountered the internet, she might have gotten angry. But now, Kaguya, who even dared to write her own yuri fanfiction, no longer cared about such trivial matters.

Even though she believed herself, Kaguya was unwilling to let him off the hook. Mo Yi's current flustered and embarrassed expression was simply too amusing.

"Hmph, if you've seen them, you've seen them. What's there to be afraid of admitting? I'm not a petty person, am I? Am I not even allowed to have the right to fantasize?"

"Alas, you can only blame this princess for being too beautiful."

Seeing that Kaguya didn't press further and was admiring herself, Mo Yi, after sighing in relief, couldn't help but retort, "Ji Ni Tai Mei?!"

Kaguya's triumphant smile froze instantly. A second later, it turned grim. She stared at Mo Yi through the screen and said, "Believe it or not, I'll crawl through the internet cable and shove your head onto the keyboard. Scram!"

"Cough cough—"

This joke might have gone a bit too far. But Kaguya, you're not Yakumo Yukari, why are you learning to keyboard smash?

Of course, he could only complain in his heart. She could send a file across worlds right now. If she could really transmit across worlds, offending the great Kaguya again would be suicidal, wouldn't it? If she were captured and taken to Eientei to be a lab rat, constantly testing medicine, that would be a pain worse than death.

Mo Yi's mind raced, and he explained with a smile:

"Your Highness, your name is Kaguya-hime, and you are too beautiful. Put them together, and it becomes 'Ji Ni Tai Mei.' I really didn't mean anything by it."

Kaguya smiled again, but it was different from her previous smile, a bit cold.

"Do you believe I'll come over and serve you a lawyer's letter in person?!"

Mo Yi: "..."

The look confirmed it. He didn't expect her to even know the Kun Kun meme.

If one day someone told Mo Yi, "Your X is as good as Kun Kun's," he would definitely want to punch them. Similarly, the great Kaguya's mood might not be good right now. Considering her personality when playing games – especially her aggressive, "fight if you disagree" attitude – one would know that her temperament is often the opposite of her gentle and ethereal appearance.

"Yikes—"

Mo Yi suddenly put on a look of someone "suddenly sitting up from a deathbed illness" and said apologetically, "It seems someone is at the door. Let's talk later. I'll go see."

"Don't you dare hang up—"

Unfortunately, Houraisan Kaguya saw through Mo Yi's excuse to end the video call and said with a sinister smile, "This princess has plenty of time to wait for you."

Mo Yi: "..."

"Haha, it seems I misheard. It's not ringing anymore."

Seeing that Mo Yi had given up on escaping, Kaguya said triumphantly:

"Enough small talk. You still haven't answered my question. Have you or have you not seen my fan comics?"

Mo Yi, who thought he had managed to brush this topic aside, didn't expect Kaguya to be so persistent about whether he had seen her fan comics.

Confess and be punished, resist and go home for the new year.

Admitting it was impossible! Especially since Mo Yi genuinely didn't recall ever seeing them.

"I, Mo, am iron-willed. If I say no, it's no!"

"(ˉ▽~～) Tsk tsk~~"

Hearing Mo Yi's answer, Kaguya's gaze lost its energy. She looked at Mo Yi and scoffed, "You haven't even seen this princess's fan comics? What kind of Touhou fan are you?"

Mo Yi: "..."

When did I ever say I was a Touhou fan? I'm actually a Moon Cell fan and Admiral who likes to play Honkai Impact 3rd on Rhodes Island!

However, after chatting nonsense with her about this issue for so long, Mo Yi's previous worries had faded significantly. He was almost back to the feeling of chatting and joking online with her as before.

Knowing each other's true identities, it seemed nothing had changed. The Princess was still the same Princess. Well, perhaps she was even more vividly and concretely herself—the NEET Princess.

Simply put, Mo Yi had nothing to fear now. His usual spirit of witty banter was rapidly igniting.

"Your Highness, you're wrong to say that."

Mo Yi couldn't help but retort:

"Although you are the most 'Touhou-beautiful' character in the setting, settings are things authors write after a few drinks. Settings are meant to be eaten."

"Moreover, you are the character with the lowest exposure among all Touhou characters. Look at Hakurei Reimu, the protagonist, she still has exposed armpits on her shrine maiden outfit. Compared to her, your popularity naturally isn't as high."

"In terms of popularity, you're probably somewhere between a second-rate and third-rate character in Touhou. The number of fan comics starring you isn't much, and you can't compare to Reimu, Sakuya, or Purple Sister."

"Therefore, it's a highly probable and normal thing that I haven't seen your fan comics!"

Kaguya: "..."

This time, Kaguya really couldn't stand it!

The hurt she felt was immeasurably greater than if Mo Yi had 100TB of her fan comics stored on his cloud drive.

What do you mean by a character between second-rate and third-rate? That's utter nonsense!

"I don't believe it! This Princess is a popular character, not some comedic role stuck between second and third rate!"

Mo Yi thought to himself: But in fanfiction, you're just a comedic character full of anti-moe tropes?

You're the Moon Princess, yet you're addicted to the internet and games, constantly engaging in a love-hate relationship with Fujiwara no Mokou, then eating each other's leftover soup. With a personality like that, how dare you claim you're not a comedic character?!

After a few seconds, Kaguya returned to her previous calm and composed smile, asking, "Then tell me, who is the number one in Touhou?!"

"Don't lie, I can probably tell!"

Facing Kaguya, who seemed to be turning dark after being unable to accept that she was merely a second or third-rate comedic character, Mo Yi hesitated. He wanted to lie and say Kaguya, but upon seeing her bright, unblinking eyes, an invisible killing intent washed over him.

In the end, he chose to speak his true feelings:

"Alice Montgomery."
