Mo Yi: I Won't Stab That Girl in the Chest (Continued)

"What if I insist on forcing it?"

Mo Yi: "..."

I was wrong. I shouldn't have told Miss Pufferfish those strange stories!

To win over Miss Pufferfish and influence her, Mo Yi racked his brains to tell her many interesting stories, letting her know that there are still many interesting things in the world and that she shouldn't try to destroy the (human) world at the drop of a hat. He aimed to change Miss Pufferfish's Miss Pufferfish.

"If I insist on forcing it," is a famous line from the female protagonist in a certain novel, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

Ever since hearing Mo Yi's modified version of the story, Miss Pufferfish has enjoyed listening to Mo Yi tell stories. That's fine; telling stories is always better than being teased like a pet.

But Miss Pufferfish developed a new hobby: she would often quote a famous line and then have Mo Yi respond. Only when Mo Yi could finish the line would she be satisfied and let him go back to sleep.

Mo Yi thought for a moment, then complained:

"If you harm Kiana, or any of my friends, I will no longer consider you a friend. I will never see you again, and even if we do, I will never speak to you. If we do speak, it will never exceed three sentences."

Upon hearing Mo Yi continue his lines, Miss Pufferfish instantly got into character, revealing a very somber expression, and coldly said, "What if I have a guilty conscience?"

Mo Yi: "..."

Miss Pufferfish, are you ever going to stop? Just like Kiana, you shouldn't be spoiled too much.

That's what he thought, but Mo Yi still chose to satisfy the other party's desire to perform (or rather, this was the unique bond between Miss Pufferfish and Mo Yi in her heart, and no one else had such an interaction). Miss Pufferfish was usually alone here. If even he ignored her, who else could give her warmth and make her understand that the world is still a beautiful place?

What the other party needs is nothing more than 'friends' that everyone else has.

After thinking for a while, Mo Yi put on a relieved smile, as if he couldn't do anything about this guy, and said with a smile, "The journey is long, so I guess I'll just have to play along to the end."

"Hey-hey--"

Upon hearing her cat utter such lines that were so to her liking, Miss Pufferfish gave a 'hehe' smile similar to Kiana's. Of course, the other party didn't notice this, and Mo Yi didn't point it out either, since Miss Pufferfish was more concerned about saving face than Kiana.

That's all for tonight. Remember to come early tomorrow night!

After leaving Kiana's mental space, Mo Yi prepared to return to his room, but when he saw Kiana staring at him with her eyes half-open, her fake sleep was so convincing that Mo Yi didn't know how to react.

Kiana—

Mo Yi, still in cat form, jumped next to Kiana, placed his two paws on Kiana's cheeks, and rubbed them vigorously, complaining, "You're spying on me again! You have school tomorrow, go to sleep early!"

"Oh--"

Seeing that she had been exposed, Kiana, whose face was being rubbed, said with great difficulty, "I also want to hear your story, don't be so stingy."

"And please don't rub it! What if it gets swollen? How am I supposed to make a grand entrance tomorrow?!"

"Tomorrow is the first day of school!"

Mo Yi: "..."

Okay, what they said makes sense. Kiana is a mysterious transfer student, and it would be really embarrassing if she rubbed her face until it was swollen on her first appearance.

"Then let it go this time."

"Don't walk so fast—"

Kiana grabbed the cat's tail and chuckled:

"Let's go over a line too, it won't take much time anyway."

Mo Yi: "..."

"No, let go of my tail right now, or I won't care if you look good tomorrow."

"No, just this one sentence—"

Kiana wasn't the type to give up after just one sentence from Mo Yi. With a helpless, roguish smile, she said, "Just one sentence—"

"Then hurry up—"

Kiana then released the cat's tail, thought for a second, and put on a very sad expression (which she didn't actually look like at all) and said, "If you could do it all over again, would you still love me?"

Mo Yi: "..."

I suspect Kiana is up to something! Upon hearing Kiana's line, Mo Yi instinctively wanted to shout, "Forbidden Technique! Chains of Shadow!"

Of course, it was just a subconscious thought. He figured that if he said that, Kiana wouldn't understand the joke and would keep nagging him until Mo Yi came up with a line that satisfied her before he was willing to go to sleep.

Two seconds later, Mo Yi instantly got into character, making a very sad expression with the cat's face, and sighed to himself, "If it were me, I wouldn't have stabbed that girl in the chest, whether she was the Dragon King or not."

Kiana said contentedly:

"Hehe, I know that. It's Mei's favorite 'Honkai Dragon.'"

Goodnight, Kiana!

Seeing that Kiana was satisfied, Mo Yi said goodbye to her and prepared to go back to his room to do some things and go to sleep.

"Goodnight, Mo Yi— "

After seeing Mo Yi disappear in a flash, Kiana lay back down, a happy smile on her lips, and murmured to herself, "Thank you, Mo Yi— "

"I will also do my best."

After returning to his room, Mo Yi was finally able to transform back into his original form, change into his pajamas, brush his teeth, lie back in bed, and prepare to sleep.

Lying in bed, Mo Yi habitually browsed the Little World Game page before going to sleep, checking out what good things were available in the mall. Whether he could afford them or not, just looking at them gave him a sense of motivation.

Then he discovered something incredible: the free games that had been unresponsive finally had new options, and just like before, there were three new games to choose from.

The Honkai Series: Fate/Night; the Touhou Gensokyo series: The Moon Princess Protection War; and the third is the Type-Moon Series: Redemption of the Root Princess.

After taking one look, Mo Yi ignored everything else and continued to uphold the principles of an adult—I, Mo Yi, want them all!

Let's just take them back first. Who knows if these free games will disappear after a while? You know, the only way to get a lot of crystals right now is to play these free (real-world) games.

Once he regained his senses, Mo Yi lay in bed and began to study the newly acquired free games.

First and foremost, Honkai Series: Fate/Night.

Upon hearing this name, Mo Yi could only complain that the naming style of the Little World Game was still full of flaws. If it weren't for the Type-Moon series later on, he would have thought that this was going to be a war of broken cups in Changkong City, fighting for the Honkai version of the Holy Grail made by the civilization of the last century and using twelve Herrscher Core.

In order to save Changkong City and stop others from using the Holy Grail for evil desires, Mo Yi, who was chosen as the master by the Holy Grail, used the Holy Relic 'Happy Kallen' to summon Schicksal former Archer Kallen Kaslana (the Judah Launcher, Archer is pretty scientific, right?).
