Mei (Mo Yi): This Is Punishment for Bad Kids

"Her stomach is a little upset, let's go."

"Um--"

Bronya pulled a bottle of chewing gum from her pocket. She hadn't used to chewing gum before; it was a habit she'd developed over the past week or so, deliberately in front of Mei and the others, to make them think she did. She took one for herself first, then pointed the bottle at Mei (Mo Yi) and said, "Want some?"

At first glance, it seemed no different from usual, but in reality, Bronya, who was like a humanoid computer, was already trembling in the hand holding the chewing gum.

P. S.: Writing the backstory is really difficult, so I've been having some writer's block lately. I've already figured out the rest of the story, and I'll just go with the flow. By the way, I've got little blisters on both of my fingers, and they've been itchy for over a week. I kept scratching them, and now they're peeling, which is really uncomfortable.

Chapter 263: Princess Arc 60: "Hehe—" Seeing Remilia suddenly appear in the light screen, the Princess and Mo Yi were not surprised. They already knew it was this guy who caused trouble. "Little bat, you only have this much time left to be arrogant. Wait until I beat you to tears." "Hmph o(~ヘ~o#)" After being mocked again, Remilia was definitely unhappy, so she deliberately showed her two canine teeth and said to Sakuya Izayoi below, "Sakuya, I'm a little thirsty, so I'll use the blood of the guy under my feet to make black tea. It'll be good for me to see what the difference is between the blood of the youkai in Gensokyo and the blood of the outside world." Sakuya Izayoi: "Okay, Miss." Princess: "..." At this moment, not to mention the Princess, even Mo Yi was very angry. Although he didn't know Reisen well, her careful care and gentleness not long ago had been imprinted in Mo Yi's heart. Remilia looked up, seemingly finally remembering the Princess and Mo Yi on the light screen. Seeing their gloomy expressions, she chuckled wickedly, "Are you angry? Don't be, because it'll be your turn soon. Wahahaha..."

Chapter 362: Mei (Mo Yi): This is punishment for bad kids

The chewing gum handed over by the Bronya was definitely not just any ordinary chewing gum!

This is a sleeping gum she made using her physical and chemical skills, based on the potion that Cocolia had given her before.

The reason she had cultivated the habit of chewing gum all this time was so that when she offered Miss Mei chewing gum, Mei-san wouldn't find it strange and accept her "sleeping gum."

Of course, that's Plan A. Plan B is to serve the boss 'Sleeping Tea'—injecting a drug into the prepared beverage and then giving it to Miss Mei.

If that doesn't work, then implement Plan C: backstab them directly, physically stab them in the back with a syringe, forcefully inject some strange liquid into Mei's body, and then take them away.

With his guard up, Mo Yi naturally noticed Bronya's unease. No matter how clueless she was, after Mo Yi had repeatedly connected with her using the Light of the Heart and thoroughly studied her body, even her heart rate revealed her current state.

Of course, knowing that today is 'Judgment Day,' it's easy to guess that there's something wrong with this chewing gum.

"Future Sight— "

The moment he received the chewing gum, Mo Yi activated the Psychic-type move he obtained from the Pokémon games – Future Sight. Combined with his understanding of time, he could foresee the desired short-term outcome under assumed conditions.

The future is constantly changing. Even the absolute future cannot be absolute; there is only a relative future. In a universe where parallel worlds exist, every unknown future has the potential to evolve into a parallel world.

At this moment, Mo Yi assumed that his body would change under the condition of eating the sleeping gum. Mo Yi's eyes sharpened, and a fraction of a second later, he concluded that the gum was something specially made for Miss Mei. For Mo Yi, an ability user from a different system than this world, it was no different from eating the wrong thing. In his Future Sight perception, after the thing entered his stomach, it was instantly digested under Mo Yi's special control and resistance skills, and the strange substances and energy inside were converted into magic power.

Simply put, Mo Yi could eat the whole piece of chewing gum in one go.

"Thanks--"

Mei (Mo Yi) took Bronya's chewing gum, poured out a piece, and prepared to eat it. Of course, this action had to be slow because this was Mo Yi's final test for Bronya. If she was still stubborn, Mo Yi would have no choice but to painfully turn her into roast Bronya.

To protect what is Mo Yi to me, there is nothing my sword cannot cut. Even if the opponent is my friend, family, or Justice Partner, I will kill them.

At this moment, Mo Yi adopted Hashirama's expression.

Bronya's mouth opened slightly as she watched Sister Mei, with her familiar gentle smile, holding the poison she had hidden in her hands. In Bronya's eyes, Mei's actions seemed to be magnified countless times, as if a video was playing in ten times slow motion, unfolding little by little before her eyes.

I was conquered by you just like that, and drank the poison you had hidden.

"Wait, Sister Mei— "

In the end, it was Bronya who was conquered. Mei (Mo Yi) held a physical poison, while Bronya had already drunk the poison of the soul brewed by Mei, Kiana and others with gentleness, trust and friendship.

Bronya, with the speed of someone who'd been single for over a decade, snatched the chewing gum from Mei's hand in an instant, saying, "I chewed a few times and found the taste of this gum to be a bit strange; it might be expired."

Faced with Mo Yi's strange (auntie-like) gaze, Bronya nervously tried to give an explanation.

Mo Yi: Bronya, you have finally lived up to Miss Mei's trust in you. Since that's the case, I, Mo Yi, am willing to approve you as a true friend of hers and allow you to join the starter Pokémon in Honkai 4.

"Sister Mei, could you come out with me for a moment—"

Bronya took a deep breath. Just as Mo Yi had said before, the moment she tossed the coin (and handed Mei's mother the sleeping gum), she finally got the answer she wanted.

Although she felt sorry for Seele, she couldn't let down these friends who treated her so sincerely!

Seele, I will never give up!

However, I must save her in my own way, otherwise even if I do manage to save her, Seele will not be able to accept that I saved her in this way.

Today is the day of the operation, and there are already countless Anti-Entropy agents lurking in the Senba Academy. If he were to confess to Sister Mei in such a confined space, he might be discovered instantly.

Bronya Bronya, having shaken off her confusion, once again transforms into her highly intelligent self and instantly comes up with the most suitable solution: to use her current role as the person in charge of dealing with Sister Mei to lead her to a relatively open space, where everyone else will simply assume she's looking for a secluded spot to make her move.

Once she gets to the right place, she can tell Sister Mei what happened. Whether Mei-neechan forgives her in the end or not, she can have a clear conscience. That's enough... enough my foot!

Bronya doesn't want to lose the bond she's worked so hard to build, just like she lost Seele!

"I have something important to tell you."

"Um--"

Mei (Mo Yi) continues to deliver a stellar performance, perfectly capturing Mei's gentle yet questioning smile.

Bronya, who was walking in front, seemed to be leading the way without any emotion, but in fact she was constantly looking around, alert to whether anyone was following behind them.

Soon, the two arrived at a relatively open and deserted place.

"This is fine."

Bronya took a deep breath, looked at Mei (Mo Yi), and said in a heavy (but still emotionless) tone, "I'm sorry, Sister Mei. Actually, I was sent by Anti-Entropy to get close to you—"

Then, Bronya briefly told Mei what had happened.

Mei (Mo Yi) also delivered a powerful performance, her face shifting from shock and disbelief to surprise, then sadness, and finally relief. She lightly flicked Bronya's forehead with her finger, watching his bewildered expression, and laughed, "This is punishment for a naughty child—"

"Now, I forgive you, Bronya."

"We're still friends—"

"Sister Mei— "

Bronya thought the other party would be disappointed in her because of this, and might even attack her directly, but she didn't expect the other party to forgive her so easily.

Bronya looked up at the other person, feeling both hurt and relieved, and said, "Are we still friends?"

"Certainly..."

Mei (Mo Yi) stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.

Bronya's eyes widened as she watched a hand holding a syringe accurately inserting it into Mei's (Mo Yi's ) calf in the shadow beneath her feet, the entire syringe already injected.

"Sister Mei!"

PS: Chapter 264, Princess Arc 61: Remilia, feeling incredibly refreshed after finishing her pose, said to Hong Meiling in the light screen, "Hong Meiling, I grant you permission to use forbidden power. Bring them here; I'll wait for you." "Do a good job, the rewards will be plentiful—" With that, she turned off the light screen and looked at Sakuya Izayoi, who was squatting beside Reisen drawing blood and no longer needed to pose, saying, "No need, Sakuya. I can smell that her blood type isn't B. Blood that isn't B isn't worthy of my tasting. Just tie her up and put her aside." "Yes, Miss—" The sixteen Sakuya put down their syringes and disappeared. Meanwhile, Remilia sat on her throne, smiling smugly. She had perfectly portrayed Scarlet's aura; why worry about those two Gensokyo? Not worried at all, because the real hidden boss in the Scarlet Devil Mansion is the sleepy Hong Meiling. She knows how to turn evil and once she transforms into Dark Phantom, she is Unstoppable Force. She once wiped out the Scarlet Devil Mansion. In the end, it was only through her Power of Destiny (crouching down to avoid turning cute) that she was successfully subdued (sorry for hitting a child, she returned to Hong Meiling's body to continue sleeping).
