Princess: There's Definitely Something Fishy About That Look

Mo Yi was almost used to the Princess's intimate gestures, but it wasn't that he was used to it. When the princess got so close to him, Mo Yi still felt like he was having a heart attack.

For example, at this moment, the other person's waist-length hair was already plastered on his face and body, and was even pressed against Mo Yi's nose. A fragrance that he couldn't tell if it was shampoo or body odor inexplicably entered Mo Yi's nostrils.

Although it has a very Yuuka, it's not like perfume; if it's too strong, it can make people feel nauseous and have an unpleasant smell.

"Cough cough—"

Mo Yi pushed back a little, keeping the other person's long hair away from his nose. Who could resist being so close?

"I've already given you everything, isn't that enough?"

Mo Yi composed himself. Because of what happened to Miss Mei, Mo Yi couldn't help but feel guilty when facing the Her Highness the Princess.

He knew he only had a crush on the Princess, but now that he realized someone liked him, he should change his ways. However, when facing the Princess, he still felt a faint sense of guilt, which made it impossible for Mo Yi to interact with Princess normally as usual.

Because of this sense of guilt, Mo Yi subconsciously tries to make the other person happy. That's why he always lets her win when playing games. The Mo Yi of the past wouldn't have cared so much. He would have won all the rewards by his own ability. Why should he give them to the Princess? If it were the Princess, she would have eaten them without hesitation and then mocked and criticized him afterward.

PS: Chapter 238, Princess Arc 45: "Do you guys even have any sense of chivalry? If you're so tough, don't gang up on me!" "Don't come any closer!" Under the gang attack of the four, even though Hong Meiling was relatively strong, she was quickly beaten down. Feeling that she couldn't win and that she had done her best, Hong Meiling simply faked a fall, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, ignoring Marisa's kicking and prodding her. Patchouli, Scarlet Devil Mansion, couldn't stand it any longer. If she didn't intervene, these Gensokyo who had come to stop Remi's plan would rush in. So, she activated the spatial magic she had prepared beforehand, distorting the space inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion into a maze-like overlapping Alternate Dimension. The group, who were about to move forward, suddenly found that the surrounding space was rapidly distorting, and the surrounding environment was changing rapidly. "Mr. Mo Yi— " When the anomaly occurred, Reisen and Alice, who had tried to grab Mo Yi's hand, disappeared from Mo Yi's side before they could succeed. Finally, Mo Yi realized that he was the only one left behind, or rather, there was Hong Meiling pretending to be dead.

Chapter 347: Princess: Your eyes clearly betray something.

"Of course not!"

The Princess snorted and complained:

"What this Princess wants, she can take herself. If you're going to give it to me like this, what's the point of playing the game?"

"This is an insult to Princess gaming spirit!"

Having said that, the Princess stared at Mo Yi's wandering eyes with her dark and mysterious gaze, thinking to herself...

You're clearly up to something!

If she wasn't preoccupied, how could she be so distracted, always stealing glances at me, only to look away again as soon as I looked back?

Furthermore, by deliberately giving myself an advantage while playing the game, and relying on the wisdom I've accumulated Princess countless years, I easily arrived at the most likely answer.

That means you've done something to betray yourself, or are about to do something to betray yourself!

But

The Princess thought carefully about her relationship with Mo Yi. Apart from playing games and having fun together, the two had no other interaction.

There is absolutely no such melodramatic plot as the other party preparing to betray you for some benefit!

But in this situation, what could possibly cause the other person to be so conflicted, or even feel guilty towards them?

The insightful Princess still couldn't understand it, and the more she thought about it, the more ominous she felt, realizing that the seriousness of the situation might be beyond her imagination.

"And--"

Seeing Mo Yi's panicked state, the Princess held up a finger in front of Mo Yi, her tone lower than usual. Though her voice was soft, it made Mo Yi tremble with fear as she said, "Your eyes are clearly hiding something!"

"Tell me quickly, what exactly did you do to offend this Princess!"

"Resist and be punished severely; confess and be treated leniently—"

Mo Yi: "..."

What the hell is this?!

Wasn't the Princess supposed to have perfectly sealed away her mind-reading ability? How did she regain it?

Besides, saying sorry and such is going too far.

I just had a bold idea, wondering if I could turn you into wings. I only thought about it, estimated the success rate, and simulated a feasible plan.

You know, having delusions isn't a crime, so how could what happened to the King of Heroes be considered something that wronged you?

When the Princess asked him this question, Mo Yi, who was flustered, almost blurted out a triple denial that was tantamount to an admission. "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." This matter was not a playful thing as usual. If the Princess discovered his evil plan now, the already slim chance of success of his bold idea would directly become a non-zero success rate.

According to Mo Yi's idea, he should first become the Princess's hero, then win her favor, and then make his move. The most appropriate time is before the time is right. He must not let the Princess discover anything before the time is right, otherwise he will not even have the chance to play with the Princess and win her favor.

Mo Yi's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a suitable answer. The Princess's previous comment, "Your eyes clearly have a ghost in them," was obviously a famous trope (fox spirit).

So Mo Yi leaned back tactically and said in a sarcastic tone, "Middle!"

Princess:"..."

The other party accepted this joke without any apparent difference from usual. Could it be that I'm overthinking things?

However, the other person clearly had something on their mind, the kind of thing that even a close friend like myself, who has been around for ten years, couldn't confide in.

The more Mo Yi acted this way, the more curious and wanting the Princess became to know what it was that even her closest confidant couldn't tell her.

Wrong!

The Princess suddenly realized something from Mo Yi's earlier comment about the word "middle"!

Could she be a fox spirit? If she really is a fox spirit, then who is she?

Her Highness the Princess Yi, who knew Mo Yi's living conditions very well, knew that Mo Yi's house was about to become Valkyrie's dormitory.

The most likely candidate is the housewife, since Raiden Mei fits Mo Yi's aesthetic preferences.

Of course, Her Highness the Princess doesn't completely believe in so-called aesthetic standards. Those guys who always say they want to marry a free-spirited woman who dares to love and hate often end up marrying well-educated and refined ladies from respectable families.

You can only believe half of what a man says. Even with someone as familiar as Mo Yi, you can only believe up to 70%.

He kept saying he was into long, straight black hair, but in the end he still ended up flirting with Alice Megatron. From this, we can draw a conclusion: his so-called preferences are all fake; what he really likes is just good looks.

Aside from Raiden Mei, the second most likely candidate is Kiana. After all, she's the white-haired ball of fluff who's a special attack target for Chinese players, and she has a seemingly carefree yet surprisingly affectionate personality. Plus, she's the first Valkyrie Mo Yi has encountered besides her. Men have a mysterious obsession with the 'first time.' They might say they don't mind, but deep down they care a lot.

The third one is Theresa Under the Valkyrie: Eclipse. Don't think I can't see Princess, Mo Yi, you're a Loli Con!

The fourth

The Princess analyzed the situation carefully and quickly realized that it seemed like every single one of them was a possibility!

Thinking of this, the Princess frowned and her gaze toward Mo Yi changed.

Your Her Highness the Princess: How about we drug them first, then give them a truth serum? If it's true, we can have Eirin make a 'Life Reset Potion' (Amnesia Potion), and keep them in the basement of our room, slowly helping them develop a proper set of values?

Mo Yi: "..."
