Yakumo Yukari: My Stomach Hurts So Much! (cont.)

Thank you.

"Need not--"

The Princess chuckled:

"I was just afraid that Mo Yi wouldn't be able to handle it, so I had to do it for him."

Hmph, Princess 've never even had the chance to be carried in Princess carry, how could I let you, the Demon Realm Princess, get there first!

Alice: "..."

Alice is straightforward, not stupid. People who can learn magic are usually quite intelligent! The Princess's words were clearly sarcastic!

Alice then noticed the situation around her. Apart from her and the Princess, everything else seemed to have stopped. She also saw Mo Yi standing right next to the Princess, making a gesture of catching someone. This was all under the influence of the Princess's power.

If Alice shows any anger or does anything, the Princess immediately cancels her time manipulation ability. This way, Alice won't become the kind of person who, despite receiving help, speaks ill of others.

Alice, having figured it out, was furious.

Damn it Houraisan Kaguya, hurry up and throw me back into the air!

Seeing that Megatron hadn't fallen for the trick, the Princess didn't think much of it. She just did it casually, then ended the time barrier and put Alice back on the ground.

Then, Mo Yi saw the Princess following Alice and roughly understood what was going on.

Mo Yi: "..."

Princess, didn't you hate Alice? Why are you now more eager to accept her than you are? Is this what they call a love-hate relationship? It Princess you're just a hopeless, lazy bum.

"Alice, are you hurt?"

Seeing Alice's somewhat gloomy face, Mo Yi wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say.

"Let me treat you."

Mo Yi really didn't want to say those universally applicable, safe phrases like "Actually, you played quite well, you were just a little short," "You were just unlucky," or "It's just a game, it's not a big deal." Alice was, after all, his "elder." Such words might be fine for coaxing a teenager, but an experienced adult would be immune to such useless platitudes.

If you lose, you lose. There are no excuses. All I can say is that the opponent was stronger at the time.

Moreover, unless you've experienced it firsthand, you can't know the pain in someone's heart. Often, words of comfort only make things worse.

Hearing Mo Yi's words, Alice looked at Mo Yi and felt the pure worry in his eyes. The grievances and pain in her heart seemed to find an outlet.

There seems to be no need for me to dwell on it. Although Houraisan Kaguya interfered and ruined what I was looking forward to, isn't the feeling itself more important?

As long as you have that feeling, and as long as the same thing happens, the other person will come forward to 'catch' you.

That's right

If I were to give up, wouldn't that be tantamount to ignoring Houraisan Kaguya's intentions? That wicked guy, I won't let him succeed. I, Alice Margot Lloyd, will one day expose your true colors before Mo Yi!

As for whether she was injured, of course she was. Hakurei Reimu's Friendship Face-Breaker Punch could hit Alice directly in the face and send her flying. However, given Alice's constitution, such minor injuries would heal automatically after a while.

"My face hurts a little."

Uh (⊙o⊙)...

"I'll use magic to heal him."

Randomly, Mo Yi placed his hand on Alice's left cheek, where she had been hit, and injected a healing spell.

Feeling the Alice that Mo Yi was holding, he smiled slightly, his eyes meeting the Princess's gloomy gaze, as if to say— Alice won a great victory.

Princess:"..."

Damn it, how could they do something like that!

It seems that in the future, when I get injured, fall ill, or am about to die suddenly, I can't just end it all. Don't think you've won, Wei Zhengtian. Your move certainly caught me off guard, but now it's mine!

Reimu accepted the million-dollar prize money from the Princess as she wished, and then laughed wildly while tightly clutching the box full of gold coins in her hands.

The unprecedented burst of laughter made Mo Yi worry that the other person might go crazy or laugh themselves to death from excessive joy.

In fact, extreme joy or sorrow can both cause sudden death, and this is not an uncommon occurrence.

After the spell card tournament, it will be time for the banquet. The friendly exchange match between Eientei and Scarlet Devil Mansion will be scheduled in the middle of the banquet as a performance.

Yes, at least that's what they said in their promotional materials.

As arranged by the Princess, Mo Yi and his group sat opposite the Scarlet Devil Mansion and the others. Although they did not fight, Remilia's death stare had already swept over them many times.

Because Mo Yi was a new face, he didn't receive too much firepower.

"Princess-- "

Sitting next to the Princess, Yagokoro Eirin asked:

"Are you sure you don't need me to take action?"

"I've heard about your bet—"

Yagokoro Eirin would certainly not stand idly by and watch the Princess apologize to Remilia in front of the entire Gensokyo.

"You don't need to bother with such a small matter—"

The Princess didn't want to involve her parents in such a small matter, so she confidently said, "Although Reisen is still a bit lacking, Mo Yi and I are invincible."

Yagokoro Eirin: "..."

Princess, where do you get your confidence?

Yagokoro Eirin wasn't worried about the Princess's chances of winning. Although the Princess wasn't the type to be enthusiastic about fighting, she had lived for so long that her combat experience would absolutely crush those little guys in the Scarlet Devil Mansion whose lives were measured in centuries.

Add to that the abilities of Eternity and Moment, which are practically invincible to some extent, and it's truly unimaginable how they could lose.

As for Mo Yi, Yagokoro Eirin didn't know much. She only knew that he seemed to be the Princess's online love interest. It seemed that Reisen, whom she had sent, had little effect. In this respect, Yagokoro Eirin had to admire the other party's willpower, as he could even resist her medicine.

Adding to this, Young Yuuka sitting next to them, and the information Young Yuuka, their combat strength seems to be at the same level as theirs. However, for a cautious person like her, she would never believe something 100% without seeing it with her own eyes.

Now we have no choice but to trust the Princess.

Upon seeing Yagokoro Eirin, Young Yuuka also remembered her deal with her. After eating a few bites of food, she found her target – a human who appeared to be Yakumo Yukari in disguise.

So she stood up and walked towards the other person. Young Yuuka's rule of doing things has always been that if she can solve the problem by rushing in, she will never waste her energy.
