Alice Is Beating Reisen as Soon as You Walk In / Reisen, You're the Prettiest-You Know That, Right?!
So here's the question!
Who is the person Mo Yi is most likely to consult in Gensokyo?
PS: Chapter 171, Kiana - Pufferfish Arc 1.26: "It's okay—" Hearing Mo Yi's concern for her, Kiana immediately perked up and was about to answer proudly, but Bronya's Ruthless Iron Hand pressed down on her, coupled with Mei's kind gaze, made Kiana lower her head again. Bronya spoke for Kiana, "Kiana is just a little heatstroke, so she's not very energetic." Mo Yi: "..." Sirin is a pufferfish, not a bamboo rat, how could she have heatstroke?! Faced with the kind gazes emanating from all around, Kiana had no choice but to give in, muttering to herself, "I didn't sleep well last night, I'll be fine in a bit." After saying that, she quickly ate her breakfast, stood up and said, "I'm full, I'm going out!" After saying that, she slipped out. Mo Yi: "..." The atmosphere today felt strange. Not only Miss Pufferfish, but even the others were always secretly observing him. Was it because of what happened this morning? Kiana, who had been looking dejected, suddenly brightened up with smugness as she stepped out the door. Looking back at the door, she muttered, "Hmph, I won't give up so easily!"
Chapter 284: Alice Ringing Reisen as soon as I entered.
As the Princess's friend, leave the victory you desire to me!
After giving himself a pep talk, Mo Yi stormed out of the Princess's room, ready to find someone to learn about talisman cards.
Of course, when leaving the house, Mo Yi didn't forget to remove his disguise. He used a purification spell to remove the effect of Gaia Foundation, and then manipulated the transformation by taking off his clothes and going upstairs. Mo Yi returned to his original appearance.
Anyway, the purpose of his disguise was to hide Yuuka Kazami. Now that his identity has been exposed, and considering that Hazama's disguise has just gained attention and offended the Scarlet Devil Mansion, there's naturally no need to continue.
Moreover, I never want to mention that the Ominous name, Hazama, again!
Stardust Crusader Mo Yi – here again!
After successfully transforming back into himself, Mo Yi followed the sound of an explosion coming from afar and headed towards the venue.
Because of the human aura emanating from Mo Yi, coupled with his unfamiliar face, he encountered a lot of stares from the monsters as he walked, but no one attacked or blocked Mo Yi path.
Mo Yi's presence here must have its own reasons. This is also the territory of Eientei, a newly developed force that was only established today. The monsters who can come here are all powerful and intelligent individuals, so they are naturally not mindless.
The kind of plot that appears in urban novels, where the male protagonist is dressed in cheap clothes or the Heroine is pretty, and the female protagonist starts causing trouble, is rarely seen nowadays.
If someone's clothes aren't nice, that's their business. If it's really because they're poor, people of higher status would rather ignore them than dirty their own feet by kicking them. If the other person is pretending to be weak while actually being strong, then they're even less likely to provoke them. Isn't this obviously a big shot trying to fish for attention?
And to come up to the Heroine just because she's pretty and relentlessly pursue her is even more absurd. If it were just a normal chat, that would be fine, but to directly show such a despicable face and cause trouble—don't they care about her feelings?!
Therefore, those who consider themselves superior tend to be more concerned about their outward image in such situations, and their wicked true colors will only be revealed when no one is around or when they are alone.
All of this was nonsense, so Mo Yi didn't have the chance to slap the face of the monsters who came to their deaths, and safely arrived at the stage of the spell card competition.
As soon as Mo Yi arrived at the arena, he saw Alice manipulating several puppets to continuously fire magic bullets at Reisen, who was agile and constantly doing various aerial splits and backflips. Reisen was not completely passive; while dodging, she also kept shooting red lasers with her fingers.
Unfortunately, Reisen only has two hands, so she can only unleash two attacks at a time. Alice, on the other hand, controls more than a dozen Reisen can only be constantly pursued.
Reisen's ability is to manipulate wavelengths (madness). Her main method of manipulation is through her ruby-like eyes. Even in a normal state of suppression, ordinary people who make eye contact with Reisen may be affected and enter a state of madness.
To prevent her abilities from influencing others, Reisen habitually keeps her head down, avoiding eye contact with others.
It's not because I, Reisen, am always the bottom that I always keep my head down and dare not look at the other person!
Once she gets serious about fighting, Reisen's fighting style becomes very decisive and swift. After all, Reisen was originally Moon Rabbit soldier, and her purpose in life was to fight. Her fighting style is naturally close to the kind of fierce fighting style that pursues killing on the battlefield. Her attacks are headshots that are meant to kill you, or joint techniques that break your arms and legs.
Of course, manipulating wavelengths is Reisen's personal ability. Apart from the various humanoid attack methods that the Moon Rabbit comes with, Reisen's most common attack is to stare at her opponent until she dies.
Space, and everything that exists within it—the living things, matter, light, thought, and emotion—is composed of waves, Reisen can manipulate the direction, wavelength, phase, and amplitude of these waves.
Therefore, the ability to manipulate wavelengths is actually a very high-limit ability, capable of interfering with matter, spirit, or energy.
Unfortunately, Reisen's own strength is limited. She was originally just a mass-produced Moon Rabbit machine. Coupled with her naive and cute personality and dislike of fighting, even though she is a natural fighting machine, she can only exert second- or third-rate fighting power.
The other party's personality issues can be seen from the fact that she was a deserter in the first Moon War. You should know that everything the Moon Rabbit were instilled with was only about fighting. Even so, Reisen was able to break free from 'common sense' and do something that the other Moon Rabbit could not understand at all, such as running away.
This shows that Reisen has an extremely strong will to survive!
"It's over, the curse 'Hanging Penglai Doll' is finished!"
As Alice announced the new spell card, her most important doll, Hourai, emitted an eerie light from its eyes and then struck a strange pose with its hands raised.
Upon hearing Alice announce the new spell card, Reisen immediately became alert and prepared to dodge the opponent's new doll attack.
However, Alice's attack this time was no longer a tangible magic bullet or puppet attack, but an intangible curse. Reisen was confused by Alice's previous attack, was directly hit by Alice's curse magic. Her body was completely unable to move, and she made the same surrender gesture as 'Hōrai'. Then she was hit by several magic bullets and flew directly off the stage.
Looking at the direction Reisen was flying down, which wasn't too far off from his own, Mo Yi had two or three options: A. Ignore Reisen flying over and wait for her to land before comforting and encouraging her, and also discuss the battle at the Scarlet Devil Mansion with her.
B. Find the right direction, go straight to the airport to pick up your teammate, and then talk to them about the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
C. Pretend not to see him and ignore him as you walk past, to protect Reisen's self-esteem. After all, anyone would feel embarrassed to be seen being knocked away. (Of course, this choice carries the risk that others might not realize your good intentions and think that Mo Yi is genuinely ignoring her and dislikes her.)
Remembering the precious "lucky necklace" that Reisen had given him today, Mo Yi chose option B, the one with the highest accuracy rate in a typical math exam, in just a second.
In his normal state, Mo Yi speed is likely at least A-rank, easily solved a series of problems such as direction adjustment, instant step, and catching a flying rabbit by spreading his arms as needed. (As someone who aspires to become a Grand Caster, Mo Yi is proficient in close combat, swordsmanship, and spearmanship. To play melee well, a high agility stat is essential.)
"Huh—"
Reisen, who thought she was going to die, felt no pain a few seconds later. In fact, her heart started beating fast again for no reason (love potion). She smelled a very pleasant scent and slowly opened her tightly closed eyes.
PS: Chapter 172: Mo Yi had just finished breakfast and returned to his room when his phone vibrated. He took it out and saw it was a message from Miss Pufferfish —'I have so many takeout deliveries to make today! Mo Yi, do you have time to help me with some?! I'll treat you to dinner later. I'm waiting for you at the intersection not far away. (? 7? 0ω? 7? 0)' Mo Yi: "..." Is this still going on? After receiving Miss Pufferfish's message, Mo Yi's feelings were very complicated, and he didn't know how to describe them. Was the prank still going on? Did she say today's events weren't a joke?! Oh no, this is the feeling of falling in love. Hiding under the crossroads, Kiana put down her phone and confidently muttered, "They'll never guess that I, Kiana, haven't given up at all. Hmph, as they say, a woman who works hard is the most charming. This is Kiana first bombshell: 'The Most Romantic Thing in the world is delivering takeout with you!'" Mo Yi was definitely smitten today. After all, although Miss Pufferfish wasn't as pretty as he used to be, she was still a proactive and beautiful girl—how could he possibly refuse her! Plus, with this opportunistic pursuit, how could Kiana possibly lose?!
Chapter 285: Reisen, you're the most beautiful, do you even realize that?!
"Mr. Mo... Mr. Mo Yi— "
When Reisen opened her eyes, what came into view was Mo Yi's face, which was only a few dozen centimeters away from her.
A few seconds later, Reisen realized what had happened and understood what had happened—she had been caught by Mo Yi before she fell to the ground.
"Um, um, thank you... thank you, Mr. Mo Yi."
Feeling as if her heart was about to overload and cause a myocardial blockage, Reisen struggled to say what she wanted to say, then her mind went blank, and she stared blankly at Mo Yi.
Mo Yi: "..."
Looking at the somewhat dazed rabbit in his arms, Mo Yi wondered to himself, "Could Reisen still be under the influence of Alice's curse magic? Or is she injured?"
Today's Spell Card Battle are not the usual one-off matches, but rather very formal competitions that often require several matches until the loser is defeated. Even if you lose, there is a loser's revival match system.
Reisen was Eientei's only representative in the tournament, and she also wanted to show off Eientei's skills. These were the reasons why the Princess initially tricked Yagokoro Eirin into holding this Duel King Tournament.
Reisen, who carries the expectations of the Princess and her master, is naturally under a lot of pressure. In addition, she has fought several battles in a row, which has greatly depleted her physical strength. It is normal for her to suffer some injuries after so many battles.
"Reisen, are you feeling unwell? How about I use my ability to heal you? I'm quite confident in my healing abilities—"
Upon hearing Mo Yi's words, Reisen snapped out of her state of shock and realized that she had been staring at Mo Yi's face the whole time, her hands gripping Mo Yi like an octopus, making it impossible for him to let go of her.
