Princess: You Just Ran Off Like That?! (Continued)

Mo Yi: "..."

It seems I've inadvertently touched on one of the Princess's most sensitive and sensitive spots.

With her back to Mo Yi, the Princess, unable to concentrate on the game, pressed the screen somewhat irritably.

Controlling Raiden Mei on her phone, she charged towards the Honkai Beast and was about to be defeated!

That jerk, couldn't he have been a little more sincere in trying to coax me?

You're always so thoughtful and skillful at coaxing Yue Xia, but when it comes to me, the Princess, you're so insincere!

Finding that even the most common 2D topics couldn't rouse the Princess's desire to reply, Mo Yi had no choice but to get down to business.

"Princess, who do you plan to send in the Spell Card Battle against the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

Mo Yi had never forgotten this matter. Although the overall strength of Eientei was far beyond that of the Scarlet Devil Mansion established by Remilia and other 500-year-old vampires, the head butler Yagokoro Eirin alone could easily defeat everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

However, the fighting force that Eientei can send out is really few!

The ace team Yagokoro Eirin, Princess, Reisen, who is good at acting cute, slacking off, and is one of the Gensokyo Inaba Tei, yet even Princess doesn't know if he's been pretending to be weak all along.

Why do I say that?

Because Inaba Tei was the original owner of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, in other words, this is a thousand-year-old youkai that existed before Gensokyo was even established.

How could a monster that has lived so long be a harmless little white rabbit? If it were really that weak, it would have been eaten by other monsters long ago in an era where monsters roamed freely.

However, the opponent has lived in Eientei for so many years without ever showing any weakness, and in terms of combat power, even Reisen, the pet rabbit, is no match for him.

Upon hearing Mo Yi bring up the matter, the Princess stopped trying to brush it off. After all, important matters couldn't be delayed. If she lost, Houraisan Kaguya would have to apologize to Remilia in front of the entire Gensokyo.

Doesn't Houraisan Kaguya have any pride?

"There's no point in counting on Eirin—"

Although Yagokoro Eirin would definitely be willing to help under the Princess's coquettish charm, the Princess really didn't want to involve her parents in such a small matter. This was also a good opportunity to show Eirin that Houraisan Kaguya hadn't turned into a useless NEET Princess.

"Just me, you, and Reisen."

The Princess thought for a moment and then complained:

"The only people Little Bat sent out were probably herself, Sakuya Izayoi, and Patchouli. As for the Scarlet Devil Mansion's strongest fighter, the Second Young Lady should still be locked up in the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

"I'm fine against anyone, but Reisen is a bit of a problem. Let's assume she lost for now, and the final match is up to you—"

"If you can't win, you're definitely faking it on me!"

Remilia, Sakuya Izayoi, and Patchouli —in the Princess's eyes, these three are all opponents with specialties but also obvious weaknesses. Remilia is probably the most troublesome, but for Mo Yi, who possesses holy skills, vampires are nothing more than a holy light and a baptismal incantation.

As for the typical mage Patchouli, it's even less of a problem. In a real battle, where would you find so much time to set up a magic shield and then cast spells?

By the time you've prepared your ultimate move, the other person has already unleashed Friendship Face-Breaker Punch.

After analyzing the situation, the Princess glared at Mo Yi and said fiercely:

"If you dare to impersonate me, I'll tell everyone in Gensokyo that you read my fan comics every day. I can't be the only one who loses face."

Mo Yi: "..."

No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

I don't read your fan comics every day. Not to mention that you sent them to me, the word "every day" is wrong. If that were the case, how much nutritional drink and goji berry water would I have to drink every day to keep up?

Wrong

Princess, how could you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!

How am I supposed to ever come back to Gensokyo after this? I Mo Yi, have long since transcended such lowbrow tastes!

Threatened by the Princess, Mo Yi became even more serious. Two seconds later, he said with a solemn expression, "But I've never played with anything like spell cards before—"

"Strong skills do not guarantee victory in the game."

Her Highness the Princess: "..."

Oh no, I really hadn't thought of this at all!

"Don't be afraid—"

The Princess quickly came up with a good idea and said:

"That's simple—"

"We agreed beforehand that we would have Spell Card Battle, but we didn't agree on how many spell cards there would be. Let's just make it an unlimited spell card battle, until one side concedes or is unable to fight again."

Given Remilia's easily fooled nature, a little provocation, such as saying that not limiting the number of spell cards would make the opponent accept defeat wholeheartedly, would definitely fool them—Her Highness the Princess is as cunning as ever today.

"As for the so-called Spell Card Battle, it's just that before you use a skill, you shout out the name of the move, and then you use the skill as usual."

"If there were no limit to the number of spell cards, it would be no different from fighting as usual."

Mo Yi: "..."

Princess, what you said makes a lot of sense, but Mo Yi felt that the other party was very unreliable. Otherwise, why wouldn't the other party look him in the eye when speaking?

After finishing discussing serious matters, Her Highness the Princess once again entered a state of 'ignoring' Mo Yi.

"Princess, I'm going out to check out the Spell Card Battle competition so I can prepare for the upcoming duel."

Whether for the sake of the Princess or for his own innocence, this match was one he absolutely had to win. As for the Princess's claim that he would fight as soon as she called out his name, Mo Yi still felt something was off.

It's more reliable to go out and see how others play, or ask others for advice.

"Then I'll head out now, Princess."

After saying that, Mo Yi slipped out.

Her Highness the Princess: "..."

You haven't even made me happy again, and you're just running away like this?!

What the hell is this? I had already planned that if you tried one more time, Princess would forgive you generously, and then we would come up with a perfect plan to trick those people at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Although Mo Yi's actions annoyed the Princess, Mo Yi was now doing something serious, fighting for the honor of Houraisan Kaguya. So, she should be magnanimous and forgive him once again.

Wrong

The quick-witted Princess soon realized what Mo Yi was thinking. The most likely reason was that he wanted to see how others played the Spell Card Battle, but that wouldn't be enough. He might also want to ask others about the specific rules.
