Mei Gets Assertive

"It's safe now—"

Mo Yi and the Princess simultaneously thought of this famous line!

Mo Yi: Once I finish the game of protecting the Moon Princess and personally hand over the five treasures to the Princess, I'll ask Princess how she will refuse!

Princess: Now the other party finally understands. I'll find an opportunity to let the other party finally win one of my treasures, and then reluctantly agree to their pursuit. Everything is in Princess plan!

The two, feeling quite satisfied, chatted for a while before Mo Yi returned to his home in the Honkai World, citing the reason that it was getting late and he had to go to school the next day.

Because of Miss Mei's sudden confession, Mo Yi suddenly felt that his world had changed. What was originally a slice-of-life farming story had suddenly turned into a youth romance story.

However, he seemed unable to refuse!

The next day, in the morning.

"Knock knock—"

Hearing the knock on the door, Mo Yi woke up from his sleep and called out:

"Who?"

"It's me, Mei— "

Miss Mei's voice came from outside the door. I thought it was Yue Xia or Kiana, who would wake me up early as usual, but it turned out to be Miss Mei.

"Breakfast is ready."

Normally, Mei would make breakfast in the kitchen while the others would make a ruckus in the living room, waiting for the meal to start.

Upon hearing Miss Mei's voice, Mo Yi's feelings were quite different from usual. In the past, she was just a close friend, but now he felt like she was his (almost) girlfriend.

"Okay, I'll do it now—"

When Mo Yi finished washing up and came out of the living room, everyone he knew was already sitting at the dining table in Mo Yi's house (Valkyrie), waiting for Mo Yi and Kiana, who were the last to arrive.

"Ha (_ _)( -.- )(~O~)...( -.- )——"

Sitting in the chair, she yawned, rubbing her still-closed eyes with her little hands Theresa. Looking at Mo Yi who had come over and sat down, she muttered softly, "Mo Yi's up? Ugh, so annoying, I have to go to work again after waking up—"

Mo Yi: "..."

As soon as it got light, Aunt Flo started her daily antics again.

Feeling the resentful yet expectant gaze from his aunt, Mo Yi expressionlessly reached out his right hand, placed it on her head, and vigorously rubbed it, complaining, "Is your so-called 'going to work' just staying at home watching dramas and playing games?"

"Hurry up and apologize to Himeko, who's still at the St. Freya Academy, you Derishya."

"Don't touch my head, or you'll stunt your growth!"

After being refreshed by Mo Yi's daily routine, Aunt Flo was fully awake and remembered that she was at Mo Yi's house, not at the St. Freya Academy.

"Everything's gathered!"

Miss Mei carried a pot of meat porridge, placed it in the middle of the table, then sat down next to Mo Yi and said with a smile, "We're just missing Kiana."

Mo Yi didn't really care who sat next to him at meals. According to his memory, a long time ago it was Kiana, then it became Kiana on the left and Yue Xia on the right. Later, when there were more people, Kiana Yue Xia the right had her own special seat, with a partition wall called 'Happy Kallen' added to the wall.

And now, Miss Mei is sitting in Kiana's seat.

I had never paid attention to this before; it was just a routine. But today was different. After all, people's mindsets change, and their perception of the external world changes drastically.

For example, right now, with Miss Mei sitting next to him, Mo Yi felt inexplicably nervous.

Suddenly, Mo Yi felt his foot being rubbed against someone's foot.

Now that Kiana isn't here, the only person who would do something like this is Yue Xia, who is seated one seat away from Happy Kallen.

"Theresa..."

Mo Yi turned to look at Yuexia, who was lying face Yue Xia on the table, and was about to ask what was wrong when he froze.

Because the Yue Xia was so far away, and given their short legs, it was impossible for them to reach his feet with their own. Furthermore, the direction of the attack was wrong. If Mo Yi wasn't mistaken, the person kicking him from under the table was coming from the left. In other words...

Mo Yi felt himself being nudged twice with his foot again. He turned to look at Miss Mei next to him and saw that she had a normal, gentle smile on her face, as if the little thing under the table was not her doing.

"Mo Yi, classmate—"

Sensing Mo Yi's gaze, Miss Mei picked up the small bottle containing pepper and asked, "I know you like spicy food, would you like some pepper?"

"I bought this specifically yesterday—"

After saying that, when no one was looking, Miss Mei winked at Mo Yi, her long eyelashes curving like a pair of crescent moons. "Uh (⊙o⊙)..."

While Mo Yi hesitated, he felt his foot being rubbed twice again.

Okay, now we can confirm that the real culprit is Miss Mei is currently wearing the most serious smile on her face.

I never expected Mei to be like this! Who can resist this?!

"Thanks--"

Faced with Miss Mei's fierce offensive, Mo Yi had no choice but to passively endure it and accept Miss Mei's pepper powder.

"Wait for me—"

Just then, a white fluffy ball trotted out from the corridor.

Kiana, with a hairband between her teeth and tying her braids, walked over and yelled, "How could you do this? I haven't even arrived yet and you're already eating breakfast!"

Upon seeing her friend Kiana finally arrive, Yue Xia, who had been looking sullen, immediately perked up and grumbled at Kiana, "Who told you to sleep in, Kiana— "

"You're already a high school student, and you're still so unreliable. If you keep this up, you'll become a useless person to society, Kiana."

Kiana: "..."

Kiana quickly tied up her waist-length hair. According to the normal script, she should have been fiercely criticizing and retorting at this moment, but she soon discovered a problem: her exclusive seat, the "God's Left Seat," had been occupied by her wife.

"Mei, this is me—"

"Is something the matter?"
