Alice: He Really Is Different from Everyone Else

"Alice, I've come to ask you about something—"

Then, Marisa recounted in one breath her recent encounter with Mo Yi, the friend she was looking for at Eientei, and the Duel King Tournament.

"I know about this."

Alice said calmly:

One week ago—

It turns out that a week ago, Reisen began searching for the people she wanted to invite, following the Her Highness the Princess's map and hints, and Alice was one of them.

"If I remember correctly, the Duel King Tournament is in three days, and I was planning to participate anyway."

Alice has always enjoyed sparring and dueling, and the competitions held by the Her Highness the Princess included Spell Card Battle and cooking, which perfectly suited her interests. Having stayed at home all the time, she naturally wanted to go out for a stroll.

Competitions and banquets like these are perfect for her; she can enjoy the festivities when she wants, and when she's tired, she can go home and have some time to herself.

"According to the youkai named Reisen, someone will be sent to take us there."

"As for how to get to Eientei, I don't know right now."

"Three days from now—"

After receiving this news, Mo Yi felt at ease. This allowed him to deduce that he had arrived in Gensokyo three days early, because the original plan was that after Her Highness the Princess Eientei took him there, the Duel King Tournament would not begin until the next day.

Three days later, someone will come to guide you. You just need to follow Alice to reach Eientei. This is the easiest way.

If I wander off on my own, I don't know what trouble I might run into. If I happen to run into Yuuka Kazami beforehand, that would be a huge problem.

When it comes to the final battle, I'll stay in the Duel King Tournament and use cooking to complete the strategy. Then, no matter what trouble my opponent tries to cause me, I can handle it at will.

Having no desires or wants, and being able to survive, run away, control myself, and resolve abnormal states, I'm really not afraid of a mere Reimu Hakurei.

"Thank you, Alice!"

Having received the information, Mo Yi was very satisfied and thanked Alice.

Then, Mo Yi and Alice sat there, listening to Marisa brag.

More than an hour later, Marisa finally had her fill of fun and prepared to leave.

"It's almost time, I'm going to go find Reimu to play."

Alice also took out a packaged dessert and handed it to Marisa so that she could give it to Hakurei Reimu.

Seeing that Marisa stood up and was about to leave, Mo Yi naturally stood up and followed her.

"Wait, I forgot to tell you—"

Marisa reached out and pressed Mo Yi down, saying apologetically:

"Mo Yi, why don't you stay at Alice's place for the next couple of days?"

"Of course, you can go to the Human Village if you want, but I don't recommend it—"

Then, Marisa explained that it was very troublesome for newcomers to go to the Human Village, as it required a lot of procedures. If they wanted to stay for a long time, then there was no way to do so.

Two days later, Mo Yi went with them to Eientei to find their friends to stay with.

Therefore, Alice's place is the most suitable place. Alice often takes in lost people to stay overnight. As for Marisa's own house, it is notoriously 'chaotic' throughout Gensokyo.

The last option was the Hakurei Shrine, but knowing her friend Hakurei Reimu's personality and situation, Marisa didn't want to put Mo Yi in a bad position. Overall, Mo Yi had a pretty good impression on her.

If you go to Hakurei Shrine, you're asking for trouble if you can't afford to stay there. Even if you could, you'd still be short of food and clothing. You wouldn't find Alice there with such good treatment.

And in the end, we still have to find Alice to go to Eientei together, how troublesome!

Mo Yi: "..."

What you said makes a lot of sense, but you didn't even ask Alice Megatron for her opinion!

In fact, when Alice saw Mo Yi wanting to leave with Marisa, she knew that Mo Yi didn't have anywhere to stay yet, so she wanted to say something to persuade him to stay. She had finally found a potential like-minded person, but they hadn't had a chance to talk yet.

She clearly wanted to say something, but her long-standing nature kept her silent.

After Marisa finished explaining, she looked at Alice and asked:

"Alice, is this convenient?"

Alice nodded without any emotion and hummed in agreement.

"Mo Yi, what about you? If you want to go to the Human Village, my house or the Hakurei Shrine are fine with you."

At this moment, Alice looked at Mo Yi with a somewhat cold gaze, and Mo Yi naturally sensed this.

Mo Yi: "..."

That gaze

PS: Chapter 111, Bronya Arc 1.18: "Ah—" As Bronya neared the finish line, realizing she wasn't in a favorable position, she grew increasingly anxious. Her hands gripping the steering wheel even sweated. "Don't give up, sister—" Suddenly, Bronya, her nerves on edge, heard Seele's voice. Looking in the rearview mirror, she saw Seele hugging her from behind. Of course Mo Yi couldn't see Seele. "We made a promise. Next time, you, sister, and Brother Mo Yi, will find Seele, and then we'll all live happily ever after." "Don't give up! Seele is waiting for you and Brother Mo Yi to come find me, Sister Bronya, okay?" Then, the race car that Heavy-duty Rabbit had transformed into, enhanced by Mo Yi's blue light, began to emit a strange silver glow again. 'Sister, take Seele's power, win the race, and fulfill our promise!' Then, Heavy-duty Rabbit's speed increased again, entering a quantum state for a sprint.

Chapter 223: Alice: He really is different from everyone else.

Faced with Alice's 'indifferent. JPG' gaze, Mo Yi was indeed a little apprehensive.

According to Marisa's analysis, Alice's mansion is indeed the best place for Mo Yi to stay these two days. The more he goes around, the more likely he is to be discovered by Reimu Hakurei.

Of course, Mo Yi could also choose to do what he did before: find a safe place to dig a hole, lock Pokémon to pass the time. But in the end, he would still have to come back to find Alice, which seemed unnecessary.

Most importantly, Mo Yi was still preoccupied with the Grimoire that Alice possessed, which resembled Book of the Demon God. That damned temptation kept knocking at Mo Yi's heart.

Just like Mo Yi said before, who wants to read the intermediate and advanced textbooks given by 'Old Man Time'?

Hehe, it smells so good!

Learning makes me happy.

Mo Yi has already skimmed through the Intermediate Textbook and is now planning to study them in detail to build a solid foundation before tackling the advanced textbooks.

With his combat prowess and various forms of magic and poison resistance, Alice couldn't possibly take him down. So what was there to be afraid of?

However, while Mo Yi hesitated, Mo Yi, Alice was coldly watching him, kept trying to say to him in her heart, "Mo Yi would be more convenient for you to stay tonight." Unfortunately, Alice was a magician who was not good at expressing herself and could not lie.

"Um--"
