So, Mo Yi reached into the pile of clothes and picked out the one that was closest to him, carried the strongest scent of Kiana, and was most closely associated with Kiana.
"You're the one!"
PS: Every time I hear the song "Loved Too Late" now, my chest feels empty. I've understood the reasoning for a long time, but I still can't do it right, ending up with a Bad End in the game of life.
A reminder to everyone: don't forget the important event of 'Abyss settlement tonight'.
Extra Chapter 1: The Princess's Illness Has a Cure
My name is Yagokoro Eirin, and I am a doctor driven by my interests. In a place called Gensokyo, I opened the best hospital in the entire land, earning a great reputation among both humans and youkai.
However, my true profession is as the head steward of Eientei, responsible for taking care of my good friend, the Moon Princess Houraisan Kaguya.
Listening to the wind chime's melody, Yagokoro Eirin felt troubled today. The reason was that Houraisan Kaguya, who hundreds of years ago was a perfect princess, had rapidly degenerated into a NEET Princess who was too lazy to even eat after learning to play games online.
She had tried many methods to cure the princess's terminal illness, which the outside world called 'internet addiction'. Unfortunately, she ultimately failed due to her soft heart.
Yet, she hadn't given up. After all, studying medicine was for saving people. If she couldn't even save her most important friend, what right did she have to wield a scalpel?!
Thus, she decided to use what was rumored to be the most effective treatment for internet addiction in the outside world – electroshock therapy!
Unfortunately, having left Gensokyo, she couldn't invite Professor Yang, the pioneer of this treatment, to treat the princess. So, she could only proceed step by step, based on her own hypotheses, to develop the correct treatment method.
"Alas, another failure."
It seemed she still needed to find someone skilled in lightning abilities to cooperate with her to better control the dosage of the medicinal agents.
However, for the moment, she couldn't think of anyone in Gensokyo who possessed strong lightning abilities.
Yagokoro Eirin looked at her disciple, Reisen, who had once again been electrocuted unconscious on the experiment table and had volunteered for the experiment. She couldn't help but sigh. It was precisely because the other party was unconscious that she had the time to sigh.
Once the other party regained consciousness, a new round of electroshock therapy would begin.
Being a doctor is a sacred profession, and it is also a career that requires a great deal of time and energy.
"Eirin, are you there?"
Yagokoro Eirin, who was preparing to feed Reisen some new medicine she had developed to cooperate with the electroshock therapy, suddenly heard the princess's voice.
"What is it?"
Yagokoro Eirin, known as a Sage and believing herself capable of calmly facing any situation, was startled by Kaguya's voice. The princess hadn't sought her out in over a hundred years. Except for dealing with that troublesome fire-chicken, Fujiwara no Mokou, Kaguya never left her room.
And today, she had come to find her?!
Could it be that a new storm was brewing?
Yagokoro Eirin deliberately controlled her expression, returning her face to its usual calm and smiling demeanor. She looked at Houraisan Kaguya, who had walked up to her, and asked gently, "Your Highness the Princess, is there something you need?"
In her normal state, Kaguya still had a certain princess-like demeanor.
"I've encountered some problems with my studies, so I've come to ask for your advice."
Yagokoro Eirin: "..."
What on earth had happened?!
The princess was actually asking her about her studies?
This was definitely an anomaly!
Yagokoro Eirin's gaze sharpened as she stared at Kaguya, thinking: Could this be an imposter? Or has someone taken over Her Highness the Princess's soul?!
"Cough, cough—"
Just as she was familiar with Eirin, Kaguya was equally familiar with her. After all, they had been friends for many years. She said, somewhat embarrassed, "I am Kaguya. Is it so strange for me to want to learn something new?"
Hearing Kaguya say this, and after observing her closely, Yagokoro Eirin confirmed that it was indeed Kaguya. Tears, which hadn't welled up in tens of thousands of years, almost broke free.
That's great, the princess's internet addiction seemed to be receding.
"It's this—"
Kaguya, feeling awkward about continuing the argument, directly took out her notebook and handed the knowledge she had copied from Mo Yi to Yagokoro Eirin, then asked for clarification on some points she didn't fully understand.
When Kaguya had been teaching Mo Yi before, she had almost given up, nearly being stumped by his questions. If he continued his advanced studies, he might even stump her. How could she maintain her dignity as Kaguya-sama then?
To continue enjoying his flattery, Kaguya had to improve her own level. So, after ending their video chat, she used her abilities to complete bathing and changing clothes in an instant, then came to seek help from her friend Eirin, who possessed greater knowledge and wisdom.
"This is?"
Yagokoro Eirin curiously opened Kaguya's notebook, wondering what could possibly stump her. Then, she was dumbfounded.
This was knowledge far beyond lunar technology? Where did the princess get this from?
However, what concerned her even more was that the princess, who had been staying in her room, was no longer playing games but was researching such profound knowledge.
That's great, her princess's internet addiction seemed to be truly improving.
"No rush, Eirin, take your time. I've already opened the barriers of eternity and the moment."
If she didn't use her abilities, who knew how many months or years would have passed after asking Eirin for advice?
Her passion for knowledge was as fervent as her passion for medicine; describing it as meticulous was no exaggeration. If it weren't for the desire to continue showing off in front of Mo Yi, she wouldn't have put herself through this. This would remind her of the terrifying dominance she had experienced countless years ago.
One second later, Kaguya's abilities were released. As for how long she had been studying inside, it was hard to say.
In any case, she just wanted to return to her room, activate her abilities, and sleep. After waking up, she would find Mo Yi again to see if he was done with his work. Tonight, they were going to play a new game they had acquired together.
"Eirin, I want to go back to my room and properly digest what you just said—"
After resolving the issue, Kaguya immediately slipped away, smiling elegantly:
"Don't get too tired either, we don't lack consultation fees anyway."
"I understand, Princess—"
Seeing her princess's long-awaited concern and entrustment, Yagokoro Eirin felt like she could work on experiments for another three days and nights, and said with a smile: "Princess, you shouldn't overwork yourself either."
After saying goodbye to Yagokoro Eirin, Kaguya turned to leave. Where the other couldn't see, she took out her mobile phone and typed a message: "This princess has finished bathing, are you done? Come quickly, let's play together."
A few seconds later
"I'm sorry, Her Highness the Princess, I have to go out and handle some important matters right now, and I might be back quite late. Why don't you go play first?"
The smile on Kaguya's lips gradually disappeared. She held her phone and quickly typed back: "Then there's nothing I can do—"
"This princess has already turned on the phone and played for a while. It's really fun. It's your loss if you don't come."
