"Forget it, how about we go find Patchouli?"

As the song was received, Mo Yi and the Princess's opening dance came to an abrupt end.

A chorus of cheers and applause erupted from the audience.

"Mo Yi, how are you feeling right now?"

The Princess looked at Mo Yi's face, which was so close to hers, and asked with a smile:

"This is Princess first time (dancing with someone else)."

Mo Yi: "..."

Sure enough, the Princess's every word pulled Mo Yi back from his perfect fantasy to the reality that was within his grasp.

However, this is not bad either. Perfection often exists in fantasy, and fantasy can never be reached.

On the contrary, reality, though imperfect, gives people a sense of everyday life and familiarity.

"Princess, you look so beautiful in your yukata, I can hardly contain my affection for you."

"Of course!"

The Princess was a little nervous because she hadn't expected Mo Yi to be so direct, but she maintained a calm and indifferent expression on the surface and smiled, "I've also realized that I seem to like you a little."

Mo Yi: "..."

Mo Yi had given a half-truth answer, but he never expected to hear such words from the Princess. At this moment, he couldn't figure out what the Princess really meant.

"That's good..."

After the opening dance, Yagokoro Eirin jumped out, pulled the Princess away, and threw a Reisen at Mo Yi.

"Princess, it seems like it's been a long time since we've danced."

Faced with Yagokoro Eirin's invitation, the Princess had no choice but to accept. The atmosphere had been so good just now; she might have been able to unleash a torrent of attacks and turn Mo Yi into her devoted follower. It was a pity that this was all for naught.

However, the opening dance that blocked out the entire Gensokyo was practically announcing to everyone that Mo Yi was Houraisan Kaguya's dance partner (or rather, the other way around), and the most basic goal was accomplished!

She noticed that Alice Megatron turned and walked away with a distressed expression.

Yagokoro Eirin is deliberately causing trouble. In her view, if the Princess to date, she has to accept it even if she doesn't like it. But Princess, you can't be so proactive! What's the difference between this and White Give? People won't cherish you like this.

Then, Yagokoro Eirin came out and separated the Princess from Mo Yi, allowing the Princess to calm down. She also sent a Reisen to receive Mo Yi and continue her 'trial'.

Seeing that the Princess was busy with her own things, Mo Yi did not choose to disturb her. Everyone has their own friends and space, and needs appropriate personal space.

So Mo Yi walked on, enjoying his personal time.

He had come to Gensokyo with a specific goal in mind, but the thought of going back tomorrow made him feel a little reluctant. Although it was only four days, Mo Yi had spent a very fulfilling and exciting time there.

First, he fights with Reimu Hakurei, then he meets Marisa, and later meets Alice, becoming like-minded friends with her.

Finally, today's Duel King Tournament is much more exciting than the summer vacation in the Honkai World, where I spent almost the entire day playing games, eating when I was tired, and then sleeping again until 3 a. m.

Of course, it's not that a peaceful life is bad, but an occasional 'trip' can be quite interesting.

"Mr. Mo Yi— "

Reisen, who had been standing silently with her head down beside Mo Yi, suddenly called out to Mo Yi.

"Um?"

Reisen wasn't good at talking or chatting, so Mo Yi didn't force her and just walked Jingjing with her. Suddenly, she called his name, so Mo Yi stopped, looked at her, and asked curiously, "Is there a problem, Reisen?"

Feeling Mo Yi's gaze, Reisen was as nervous as ever, but her performance was much better than before. She probably thought that Mo Yi would be going back tomorrow, and if she didn't do some things now, she didn't know when she would see him again.

Even if they meet again, it's unlikely that the Princess will be there at the right time.

Reisen took the scarf from her own neck and placed it around Mo Yi's neck, who looked puzzled. She then casually wrapped it around Mo Yi's neck twice and said, "It was nice meeting you. You're leaving tomorrow, so this is a gift for you."

Mo Yi: "..."

Mo Yi was very happy to receive a scarf from a girl for the first time. It was such a classic gift, but wasn't this scarf worn by Reisen?

Shouldn't the correct way to open it be that Reisen takes out a bag from behind her back, with a scarf on top of the bag?

That move of simply taking off the scarf around his neck and giving it to someone else was brilliant.

Reisen had clearly thought everything through, including Mo Yi's questions, so she lowered her head and explained, "I knitted this today. Because I need to work, I can't hold it in my hands, so I'm just letting it sit there—"

If we don't do this, the Princess might find out—this was the unspoken second half of Reisen's sentence.

Mo Yi: "..."

Reisen's reason is indeed powerful, yet perfectly reasonable.

"Mr. Mo Yi, you are the first person to affirm me, that's why I..."

Reisen stopped mid-sentence and asked instead:

"Hope you like it—"

So that's how it is. After figuring out why the other party gave him a gift again, Mo Yi looked at the scarf around his neck. The whole scarf was off-white and very warm, probably still carrying the warmth from Reisen's body.

"I love so much--"

"Thank you, Reisen."

"Whatever you like—"

Upon hearing Mo Yi say he liked her, Reisen, who had been keeping her head down, breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Then I'll go back to work."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

Even in the end, Mo Yi still couldn't understand Reisen's meaning. Perhaps, as she said, it was simply a token of her gratitude.

Or perhaps

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it now—"

These things are a matter of fate.

However, although Reisen doesn't have long, straight black hair, her purple hair and bunny ears are quite nice.
