The Auntie with a Blackened Heart / Himeko: I Finally Get Some Screen Time!
P. S.: Has anyone still read "The Legend of the Eight Immortals"? (laughs)
Chapter 314, Princess Arc 115: "I won't interfere in your daughter's affairs, can you let me go now, you idiot!" Faced with Shenqi's shameless and persistent pestering, Tsukuyomi helplessly complained, "I want to leave now, okay?" "Eh—" Upon hearing this, Shenqi's ahoge (cowlick) twitched, and she felt very touched. She didn't expect her sister to become so understanding after not seeing her for so many years. The other girl wasn't like this before. However, asking her to ignore the fact that her daughter had been robbed by the other girl's daughter seemed a bit too much. So—"I'm sorry, little sister, this is the last time." Tsukuyomi: "..." This sounded normal, but for some reason, she wanted to beat her up. Oh well— Tsukuyomi sighed, turned around and walked away. From an angle where Shenqi couldn't see, the helplessness on her face turned into a scheming expression as she suppressed a laugh—"Sister, and Alice, you two have to dance well—"
Chapter 415: Auntie with a Black Heart
With the arrival of others, the familiar, noisy atmosphere of Mo Yi's home returned once again.
After everyone had been joking around for a while, Auntie, who had something on her mind, finally found a chance to talk to Mo Yi.
"Mo Yi— "
Mo Yi was quite unaccustomed to his aunt's sudden seriousness, but he could guess what she wanted to say to him.
"We'll be arriving at the St. Freya Academy soon. Mo Yi, have you thought about your plans for the future?"
"You should know that even without the trouble with the Cultivator Association, Changkong City is no longer a suitable place to live."
Okay, so that's how it is.
In fact, within ten days of Mo Yi's departure, Auntie had already discussed this matter with others, persuading them to the St. Freya Academy.
Thanks to Himeko's explanations and persuasion, everyone was actually tempted, but in the end, they still didn't succeed, for a very simple reason!
Miss Mei said she needs to wait for Mo Yi to return before making a decision.
Kiana was even more direct: wherever Mo Yi went, she had to go too.
Bronya said she wanted to follow Miss Mei, while the Vogard girls followed Bronya.
Yue Xia kept saying she wanted to be with everyone (Brother Mo Yi), and Kallen followed Yue Xia. Yae Sakura, who was eventually picked up by Kiana, followed Happy Kallen.
After the ban on nesting dolls, the answer is quite simple: if Mo Yi stays, everyone else stays; if he leaves, everyone else will probably follow.
Whether it's for personal reasons or to strengthen St. Freya Academy, Auntie wants everyone to stay, so she has to win over Mo Yi!
In fact, even if Auntie hadn't said anything, Mo Yi understood the situation.
Because of the Honkai, Changkong City has become an abandoned area. Mo Yi, Miss Mei, and the others escaped empty-handed. Not to mention finding a place to live and going to school, even things like household registration have become very troublesome.
In this modern society where you can simply scan your face to go out, having a problem with your identity can make it incredibly difficult to get around.
In addition, having just offended the Cultivator Association and with Miss Mei's information as the Third Herrscher leaked, it's practically impossible for Mo Yi and Miss Mei to live a normal life as soon as possible without the help of a major power to deal with the Cultivator Association.
The Cultivator Association, with its global reach, will undoubtedly relentlessly pursue Miss Mei, the Third Herrscher. In addition, various unknown organizations and forces will also get involved. Faced with this situation, Mo Yi only has three choices: First, he can lead Miss Mei to live a secluded life, hiding and running away; second, he can take down every whimpering monster that comes his way until no one dares to come to the unknown, which could very well lead to a situation like Long Tianwen, where one person takes down the whole world; third, he can find a reliable organization to join.
Mo Yi would naturally not choose the first option. Why should he wrong himself because of someone else's mistake?!
The second option, Mo Yi wouldn't consider unless absolutely necessary. While it would be satisfying, it would undoubtedly involve enormous risks. No matter how powerful a person is, facing ambushes from any time, enemies with unknown abilities, and endless battles, they will eventually make a mistake. Once they do, there's no chance for a great hero to start over. Moreover, during a fight, if it's necessary to protect his loved ones, Mo Yi wouldn't care whether the other party is a good person, just deceived, or if there are countless innocent people living nearby. When it's time to unleash a powerful attack, he will absolutely not hesitate. Although Mo Yi has a clear conscience and doesn't need to explain himself to others, as a Mo Yi of the Order of Good, he naturally doesn't want to harm innocent people because of himself, should the situation be avoided.
Therefore, the best option is naturally to find a powerful backer.
Auntie's St. Freya Academy is obviously the most suitable choice. After all, Mo Yi doesn't know any other major organizations besides her. Although Auntie is ruthless and Aqua, that's obviously a good thing. Mo Yi wouldn't be willing to have Lord Green Otto from the Schicksal Headquarters replaced by her. He really doesn't know when he'll be plotted against by the other party.
Although Auntie and St. Freya Academy are unreliable, their backer is still Lord Green Otto. Considering Rita's previous reaction, Mo Yi felt that Lord Green Otto seemed to have really been fooled by his 'Awakener' remarks.
Of course, it's not entirely a lie. As his strength increases, Mo Yi will eventually find a way to truly Resurrect Kallen, such as traveling through time to save Soldier Kallen, or manipulating time and Soul Materialization, or even traveling through the Sea of Quantum and using a parallel world to save her.
There are plenty of solutions; what's lacking is the hard power to implement them.
After Miss Mei revealed his inner confusion, Mo Yi decided to stay at the St. Freya Academy, at least for the time being, as anything could happen in the future.
Mo Yi, who had already made up his mind, listened to his aunt's desperate attempts to persuade him. His aunt, as expected of a cunning little girl who had tricked the Far East Branch of Schicksal into becoming her own territory, had a sweet and innocent little face, a sincere gaze, and high-level verbal skills, and she really made it sound convincing.
Instead of discussing the benefits of staying at the St. Freya Academy for Mo Yi, the other person started by talking about Kiana, Miss Mei.
Aside from the possibility of being hunted down if Mo Yi stayed outside, St. Freya Academy is a place that is extremely tolerant of Honkai Messenger, allowing the Valkyries who are despised to live ordinary lives.
For example, while Kiana, Mei, and others have decent combat abilities, they lack systematic training in the use of Honkai Energy.
St. Freya Academy has excellent technology for treating the common Honkai Energy erosion problems.
And they have Valkyrie Armor and Stigmata, equipment and technology specifically designed for Valkyrie.
In short, Kiana and the others were actually interested, but they didn't agree because of you Mo Yi.
For everyone's sake, Mo Yi, you should agree. Otherwise, what kind of man are you? You'll have to atone with your death for betraying everyone's goodwill!
Mo Yi: "..."
It has to be said that if Mo Yi hadn't already known Auntie's true colors, he would have been completely fooled and immediately begged Auntie to take them in.
Even if Lord Green Otto's granddaughter is a good person at heart, she is still black inside.
After talking about the others, Auntie started to rave about Mo Yi, saying that he had such a powerful ability as 'Riding' that he was a natural-born Captain. Oh, and there was also the 'Plant King' thing. She said that if he cooperated with her, the head of the academy, to grow bitter melons in the fields, they would definitely get rich, and a wonderful life would be within easy reach.
Auntie thought to herself: That's right, a wonderful life is beckoning me! Mo Yi, you'd better work hard and earn money for me, hahaha!
PS: Chapter 310: Episode 5, Princess Arc 116: Stealth, Alice! Alice quickly entered the Princess's room, where Mo Yi, who was resting, heard the sound and assumed the Princess had returned. He immediately asked, "Princess, has the matter been resolved?" However, the Demon Realm Princess did not answer, but instead quickly and quietly walked to Mo Yi's side. Mo Yi, his eyes slightly open, looked in the sunlight and finally realized that the girl beside him was not the Princess. After all, the Princess and Alice were very different in terms of hair color and clothing style. "Alice?" After recognizing Alice, Mo Yi could no longer lazily lie on the tatami. He bent down, wanting to ask Alice why she was here. "Why did you come here—" However, before he could even sit up, the Book of the Demon God in Alice's hand turned into a brick, ignoring Mo Yi's armor, and slammed it onto the unsuspecting Mo Yi's head. Knowing Mo Yi's abilities, Alice didn't follow the usual pattern of striking him from behind, but instead struck Mo Yi on the head before he became the King of Heroes. Before Mo Yi could react, he was knocked unconscious by the Book of the Demon God. It just goes to show that the people who understand you best, besides your enemies, are the people you sleep with every night.
Chapter 416: Himeko: Finally, I get a role!
"Okay, you make a good point—"
How could Mo Yi possibly hide the other party's little schemes from her? Besides, she had just let slip that she was drunk not long ago. No matter how nicely she tries to explain now, no one will believe this heartless little girl!
"I want to stay at the St. Freya Academy for the time being."
Auntie was overjoyed when she heard this— Mo Yi, no matter how clever you are, you'll still end up drinking my foot bath water, won't you? You'd better obediently send me money and earn some funding!
Yes, Aunt Flo's expenses also include her buying all sorts of HOMU comics and merchandise, as well as other random expenses, such as setting up a bitter gourd plantation.
"But--"
Mo Yi interrupted Auntie's wishful thinking, and retorted:
"We can discuss the job and benefits properly when we get to the St. Freya Academy."
Mo Yi doesn't mind taking on the role of Captain, of course he'd be the Captain of Kiana, Miss Mei and the others. What if the Captain in charge of them is some red-haired cleaner who disguises herself as a man and sneaks into the hot springs, or some gentlemanly Captain? Wouldn't he be following in the footsteps of Lord Green Otto?
Even if it's Da Wei Ge's great cosmic will, don't even think about making me, Mo Yi, the King of Heroes, submit!
