Alice: Mo Yi, Let's Dance

So, thanks to the efforts of many rabbits, the daytime venue was slightly modified and transformed into a fireworks festival venue.

Princess: Although the main goal is complete, my second goal, which is to announce to the people of Gensokyo, "You are Princess treasure," is not yet complete.

However, this kind of thing is no challenge for this genius Princess. Fortunately Mo Yi, you created a beautiful scene of flowers blooming throughout Gensokyo, which is perfect for holding a festival. Knowing the youkai's love for excitement and mischief, they'll definitely stay and participate. I'll certainly have the ability to achieve this goal then!

Hmph o(~ヘ~o#), you little Megatron, you'll soon understand the difference between you and this Princess!

PS: Chapter 177, Kiana - Pufferfish Arc 1.36: "Sirin, Mo Yi, what are you doing here?" Miss Mei bumped into them and asked, seeing Mo Yi and Kiana building Bronya, "We just came out to play and didn't expect to see you." Mo Yi, Kiana: "(⊙o⊙)..." "Hahaha... what a coincidence." Mo Yi Mei he was helping a friend out, and although Miss Pufferfish was also a (girlfriend), it didn't make sense. Kiana, on the other hand, had her scheme discovered again. Kiana: "..." Sorry, Mei, I've achieved the truth you all wanted to achieve. The victor is Kiana Kaslana! Although Mo Yi didn't directly agree, he didn't deny it either. Besides, Kiana had already kissed him. How could he escape? She was now licensed to do things that no one else could, like giving birth to a little Kiana. Could anyone else do that? Of course, facing her nemesis Mei, Kiana couldn't be arrogant and could only awkwardly say, "Oh, what a coincidence." Bronya then said, "Then let's play together." Kiana: "..." Even if I refuse, you guys won't leave!

Chapter 294: Alice: Mo Yi, let's dance!

"Princess, why don't we rest for a while?"

"Don't want--"

"But I've seen you secretly attempt suicide several times—"

"Even a girl like me is this stubborn, and you still have the nerve to say you're tired?"

Mo Yi: "..."

Faced with the unreasonable Princess, Mo Yi had no choice but to continue practicing the strange dance with her in the time barrier.

Why did it turn out this way?

Because the Princess said there would be a dancing segment at the fireworks display that night, and as the leader of the organizers, she definitely had to be the first to go up and dance the opening dance.

Mo Yi was lucky enough to be chosen by her as her dance partner.

Then, Mo Yi doesn't know how to dance, a skill that only people who are "normative" need to learn.

"It's alright, you don't know how, I can teach you," the Princess said.

So the Princess dragged Mo Yi into her room and began a hellish training regimen, teaching her to dance from scratch.

Originally, it was thought that Mo Yi's physical fitness and coordination would make learning to dance easy. However, the Princess's requirements were too high. She said that this was a major event concerning Houraisan Kaguya's first official appearance, and it had to be done perfectly with a flawless finale.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yi could only scoff—"I bloom amidst carnage, like a flower in the dawn."

Therefore, they cannot stop practicing until they reach a master level, since the Princess's time barrier will definitely provide enough time.

Princess: This is clearly a perk for you, aren't you satisfied?

Thanks to 'My King's Power', all the flowers blooming in Gensokyo, according to Yuuka Kazami's prediction, can probably last until tonight, and will collectively wither away tomorrow morning as their vitality returns to normal.

Therefore, at the well-arranged fireworks display, as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of flowers. Coupled with the Gensokyo that Gensokyo's environment and sky were untouched by modern human civilization, it gave Mo Yi a dreamlike illusion.

As the Princess said, this is a landscape that cannot be seen in the Honkai World.

At this moment, Mo Yi glance. Of course, Mo Yi knew that this was all an illusion. In Gensokyo, all the beautiful women were youkai, and female youkai at that!

You have to understand that the material standard of living in Gensokyo is as scarce as in ancient times. The people in the Human Village are busy farming and eating every day, so they don't have the time or inclination to care about things like maintaining their appearance.

Working and basking in the sun every day, even the best natural features will turn you into a rugged, dark-skinned person. There's no way you'll find a beautiful woman there. If there is, she'll definitely be a descendant of a wealthy family from the Human Village, like Marisa.

At this moment, the Princess was standing on the stage speaking. After a few simple words, she announced the official start of tonight's fireworks display.

This was the first time such a fireworks display had ever happened to the youkai of Gensokyo.

They didn't have such customs or inclinations to begin with, while the people of the Human Village were busy eating every day and had no time to make such fancy things. Fireworks alone were something that the Human Village couldn't possibly produce.

The leisurely life in Gensokyo has freed the youkai from their previous customs of having to be ready to kill or be killed whenever they went out, and they have all become lazy and indifferent. When they heard that the Princess was going to hold a fireworks festival that night, they naturally became interested in joining in the fun.

For example, Hakurei Reimu thought she could only get two meals a day, lunch and dinner, but she never expected there would be a midnight snack. Even if the Princess hit her with the Hōrai Jade Branch, she would never miss such an absolute luxury as a midnight snack!

"Bang—"

As the Princess uttered the word "begin," the first firework in all of Gensokyo exploded in the sky, followed by a series of fireworks blooming one after another.

Mo Yi then walked to the Princess's side and began the so-called 'opening dance'.

Even now, Mo Yi is unaware that fireworks displays have an opening dance custom, though he does know what a Kagura dance is.

Since the Princess said it was her custom, Mo Yi had nothing to say.

Moreover, as for dancing with the Princess, unless it's like before, a million times in a row, Mo Yi is actually quite happy and willing. After all, the Princess, wearing a yukata, shows a different kind of beauty under the brief, colorful light of the fireworks.

He knew in his heart that he shouldn't have 'excessive' thoughts, but at this moment, Mo Yi was still somewhat tempted.

As the Princess quipped, her theme song "Bamboo Cutter's Flight" began to play. Mo Yi walked up to her, took her outstretched hand, their eyes met, and a serene smile graced his lips. No words were needed, after all, they had practiced countless times beforehand, all for this perfect performance.

Then, when a particular note sounded, the two began to dance as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times. (In fact, they really had rehearsed it a thousand times, or rather, far more.)

Bathed in moonlight and the glow of fireworks, the two appeared exceptionally harmonious and in sync.

This dance was also choreographed by the Princess after she decided to hold the fireworks festival. She used her abilities to work overtime to create it. Princess has mastered all kinds of life skills would also be good at dancing.

"Princess-- "

Standing not far away, watching Yagokoro Eirin on the stage, I could sense that the Princess seemed serious this time, unlike before when she would just be interested and then abandon the idea once the interest wore off.

It seems I need to be more serious; the remaining three trials can't be as easy as they were before.

Even Yagokoro Eirin of the world, couldn't easily accept handing over her 'daughter' whom she had raised for millions of years to someone else.

"Bang bang bang—"

Fireworks exploded continuously, illuminating the darkness of Gensokyo.

In this atmosphere, even those monsters who didn't understand what a fireworks festival was, found their own ways to have fun.

Hakurei Reimu lowered her head, diligently eating the snacks the rabbits had grilled; a certain watermelon with horns on its head found a tree stump, leaned against it, and watched the commotion before it, indulging in its own revelry; Remilia, who had moved from the West to Gensokyo, watched the Princess's dance with disdain, mocking it as 'What kind of dance is this? It's not pretty at all,' before challenging her maid Sakuya Izayoi, to a dance.

Of course, because of the height difference, the sight of an adult and a child is bound to be funny, but Remilia felt very self-satisfied, believing that everyone around her was awestruck by her elegant dance.

"Alice, let's dance too."

Marisa turned to look at Alice beside her, only to find that Alice had disappeared at some point.

"Strange, where did they go?"
