The Captain Just Wants to Go Home and Play Games

The intelligence we have is that the opponent wears an annoying, comical mask and their abilities are currently known to include plant manipulation, telekinesis, and energy projectile attacks.

As for the abilities the opponent used, they didn't trigger the specialized Honkai Energy-measuring watch on his wrist. This means the opponent wasn't using Honkai Energy. However, they did manage to send away the rampaging Honkai Messenger from before.

"Sigh—"

One must understand that within the Cultivator Association, there are two factions. One faction believes that Honkai Messengers are an important force for humanity against Honkai Beasts, a power that can be united with. The other faction believes that Honkai Messengers are merely a blatant scheme by the Honkai to erode human civilization. Although becoming a Honkai Messenger isn't their choice, much like a plague victim, they are all innocent. However, for the sake of humanity's overall interests, they must be sacrificed. Otherwise, the Honkai will grow stronger and stronger, eventually even nurturing the legendary strongest weapon of the Honkai—the Herrscher.

Thinking of this, Midou Ban couldn't help but get a headache. He actually hated dealing with disputes over interests the most, but as the guardian of Changkong City, he couldn't avoid such matters.

"Forget it, I'll just report it truthfully and let those big shots argue and get headaches."

Mo Yi's Home

In Mo Yi's room, the tiled floor suddenly rippled like the surface of water. Mo Yi's hand emerged from it, pressing down on the still-stiff floor as he leaped up.

"Finally back."

This was his first time fighting so intensely in reality. After using his abilities, Mo Yi felt completely exhausted upon returning to the safety of his room. Seeing the bed nearby, he wanted to jump onto it and sleep until noon tomorrow.

Unfortunately, there were still many things to sort out tonight, such as Theresa, who had arrived at his house.

Although Mo Yi had gained some understanding of Theresa Apocalypse through the game Honkai Impact 3rd, the current situation didn't seem to align with the original plot at all. If he believed the game's story completely, he wouldn't know how he died.

He had promised to send her home, so he had to send her home. Well, gathering information and understanding the situation was also very necessary.

After all, Theresa's appearance was bound to involve Otto Apocalypse, the mastermind behind the scenes in the Honkai world, a character that couldn't be bypassed.

Collecting some information on someone who might become the final boss mastermind was clearly a beneficial and harmless task.

Moreover, he had also promised Her Highness the Princess that he would play games with her after returning. Although he hadn't sworn an oath, a man's word is his bond—this was Mo Yi's basic principle.

He had promised to go drag racing on Mount Akina tonight, and even if his kidneys ached, he had to drive.

A man can't say no!

Mo Yi first opened Eien-tei Online and sent a message to Her Highness the Princess, saying he was home after finishing his business and she didn't need to worry, but he still had some loose ends to tie up and would be online later.

Then, he opened the door and walked to the living room, only to see Kiana and Theresa on the living room sofa.

The table was covered with various snack bags, opened bags of chips, bottles of soda with their caps off, and cake with only crumbs left.

Kiana was half-lying on the sofa, one hand stroking her distended belly, which looked several months pregnant from overeating, while the other hand held an ice cream cone, which she licked with a look of satisfaction.

Just from the messy scene on the table, Mo Yi knew that his stash of food had been ravaged by Kiana!

As for Theresa, she was sitting on another sofa, hugging her knees, like a cute cat, delicately licking her ice cream.

From their appearance, they didn't seem nervous or uneasy about being in a stranger's house. In this regard, Kiana had followed Mo Yi's instructions.

However, Kiana couldn't be praised. Otherwise, wouldn't she think she could open the refrigerator whenever she wanted next time?

Mo Yi, walking out of his room, yelled in exasperation:

"Kiana—"

Kiana, engrossed in her post-meal dessert, was startled by Mo Yi's sudden shout. She immediately lost her grip on the ice cream cone. She quickly activated 'Void Space' and caught the ice cream before it hit the ground, then swallowed it in two bites, looking at Mo Yi with a serious expression and saying, "Mo Yi, you're finally back, that's great!"

"This young lady was so worried about you—"

Mo Yi: "..."

If you could lick the ice cream drips from the corner of your mouth a little cleaner, I might consider believing you, Kiana.

"But I saw you licking it very happily—"

Saying that, Mo Yi pointed to the corner of Kiana's mouth.

Kiana, understanding, quickly stuck out her small tongue and licked her lips clean. It was a classic fanservice scene, but Mo Yi's heart remained unmoved, and he didn't have any bold thoughts.

PS: When watching One-Punch Man, I saw Saitama smash a meteor and save the city, only to be blamed by people. I felt an indescribable sense of depression and anger at the time. But in reality, aren't such things happening? If Saitama were as dashing as Kamen Rider, with flashy special effects, shouting cool move names, and knew how to promote and package himself, would he be like this?

Actually, this book follows a humorous and comedic route. Many of the lines are self-deprecating and sarcastic. I hope you don't take it too seriously and just have a laugh.

Chapter 45: Theresa Stays Tonight

"It's precisely because I'm worried about you that I need to distract myself by eating—"

Kiana is sometimes incredibly clever, saying things that Mo Yi finds very reasonable and unrefutable, just like now.

"Besides, if I don't eat it, that Theresa girl will think I've put something in the food."

Kiana explained with what she thought was sound reasoning:

"That's right, Theresa opened all these things. I just forced myself to eat them so they wouldn't go to waste. Poor me, I'm already so full."

Theresa: "..."

Theresa, licking her ice cream on the side, felt that even the ice cream didn't taste sweet anymore. Was she being blamed for this?

I, Theresa, may be short, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid!

After passing through the spatial rift, the two landed in Mo Yi's living room. Right after they appeared, the atmosphere between Kiana and Theresa was a bit awkward.

No matter how carefree Kiana was, Theresa was still the villain who had chased her with a large axe not long ago. Especially since Kiana was a cute girl, she was naturally immune to Theresa's "acting cute" attacks. Theresa, on the other hand, felt embarrassed because of what happened earlier. She had mistakenly thought Kiana intended to harm Mo Yi, which was why she had attacked so fiercely.

Theresa had a more childlike and pure heart, so she was particularly clear about gratitude and resentment. She liked what she liked and disliked what she disliked. Just like her current guilt towards Kiana, it was purely and deeply felt.

Unlike some worldly individuals who have been through a lot in society, who might apologize with just a few words after offending someone, their remorse disappears after half a day.

"Theresa—"

Dwelling in negative emotions wasn't Kiana's creed. Kiana quickly perked up, waved at Theresa, who stood frozen, and chuckled, "I'll show you something good, hehe."

With that, she led a somewhat curious Theresa to the living room's refrigerator.

The refrigerator was one of the three forbidden zones Kiana was strictly prohibited from approaching. Kiana had long wanted to open it and see what was inside.

But Mo Yi had warned her, 'If you dare to sneak food from the fridge, you won't have dinner.' Having eaten too much takeout, Kiana, who finally had home-cooked meals filled with care, had immediately compromised. She absolutely didn't want to return to the miserable days of eating takeout all the time.

But now, she wasn't disobeying. She had come on Mo Yi's orders, and it was all Theresa's fault. Thinking this, Kiana's favorability towards Theresa increased slightly.

"Wow—"

Upon opening the refrigerator, Kiana saw a dazzling array of snacks. Her hands moved swiftly, grabbing all her favorite treats and placing them on the table.
