Aichao Tian: If you could start over, would you...?
It had been far too long since she had enjoyed such peace. Finally free from the malice that tormented her constantly, Ai Aotian felt herself drifting off to sleep.
Ai Aotian: You foolish other me, Lüge, the description in your memory is not even one ten-thousandth as good as this back. How could a shallow woman like you, who has no experience, understand how good Lord Mo Yi is?
It smells so good, I always fall asleep like this.
But it's not possible.
Ai Aotian couldn't bear to let such a brief moment of peace be wasted in sleep. If... no.
Ai Aotian shook her head, trying to clear her head. Her goal was to expose this false love!
"Aika— "
Upon hearing Mo Yi call her name, Ai Aotian exclaimed "Hey!" and then asked, "What's wrong, Lord Mo Yi?"
"I noticed you didn't seem to feel anything when you rode the roller coaster before. You must have some kind of telescopic vision, right?"
Mo Yi smiled and said:
"Actually, you can temporarily turn off your abilities. That would make the game feel more real. With me here, no one and nothing can hurt you."
Upon hearing this, Ai Aotian fell silent. She had thought the same way before. In order to show her love with Old Saber, she turned off her clairvoyance. As a result, she was betrayed by Old Saber and fell down to sleep here with the Holy Grail.
Since his resurrection, Ai Aotian has never turned off his clairvoyance, but of course it's still useless. After all, Goetia from the other movie Gai Zong has a clairvoyance, but in the end, he was still hammered to death by the eight million Masters time and time again.
Ai Aotian was also thoroughly defeated by his sister, Marie Ayaka, and the Three Brothers Under the Moon.
Hearing Mo Yi's words, Ai Aotian fell silent, hesitant, recalling the happy smiles of those around him along the way.
I Ai Aotian and I want to laugh like that just once!
In the end, she listened to Mo Yi's advice and turned off the Thousand-Mile Eye. That's right, only temporarily. It was all to fit the persona of her other self, Lv Ge, so that she could continue to deceive Mo Yi. Ai Aotian told herself this.
Mo Yi suddenly noticed that Aika's gaze was fixed on the claw machine next to them. There was a young couple trying hard to grab it, but unfortunately, the claws of those claw machines had special effects added. Even if they grabbed it, they might not be able to get it because the claws' grip strength was not strong, and it was easy for it to fall halfway down.
When Mo Yi looked over, the boy was sweating profusely as he carefully controlled the iron claw, trying to accurately grab a cat plush toy. Judging from his appearance, he had probably failed many times.
As for why you're sweating profusely, the money is a minor issue. More importantly, your girlfriend is looking at you with admiration and expectation, while you fail time and time again. Any man would feel nervous, after all, a man can't say he can't, especially in front of the woman he loves!
"Want to play this, Aika?"
Upon hearing this, Ai Aotian knew that her gaze had been discovered, and she became somewhat embarrassed. As the dignified Root Princess, she actually wanted to play with something that was meant to fool children.
However, seeing a boy working hard for a girl, Ai Aotian felt inexplicably expectant and envious. She also wanted someone to work hard for her for such a simple reason, even if it was just to win a toy.
After hesitating for a few seconds, and considering that he was only 'Green Song' and not Ai Aotian, even if he lost face, it would only be Green Song, Ai Aotian nodded, pointed to a magical cat plushie in another claw machine, and said, "I want that Magical Cat, is that alright, Lord Mo Yi?"
PS: Chapter 371, Princess Arc: "Don't come any closer!" Unfortunately, Moon Yuyuko's resistance was in vain. Among the Moon Sisters, the Princess dislikes Moon Yuyuko the most. She always has a serious face, as if she is very powerful. How dare a pseudo- Princess who has been granted a title be so arrogant in front of her, the real Moon Princess! So, the Princess took out a ballpoint pen that she might need later and scribbled turtles and tally marks all over the other person's face, sneering, "This is a ballpoint pen that Princess specially researched to prevent fading! You always talk about filth, filth, filth, right now your face is the biggest filth, ahhhhh!" The Princess was laughing wildly, still unleashing Princess furious attacks, until Moon Yuyuko finally fainted from anger. Only then did the Princess turn her gaze to Moon Toyohime, laughing, "You fainted before I even wrote on your thighs, how pathetic. Your older sister must have a higher tolerance for pain." "Houraisan Kaguya, don't come any closer!" Moon Toyohime could no longer pretend and shouted, "I surrender! I'll help you go back to Gensokyo! Without my abilities, it will probably take you a long time to leave the sealed-off Lunar Capital!" Princess: Plan complete!
Chapter 472: Ai Aotian: If you could do it all over again, would you...
"Aika, come here—"
After returning from buying game tokens, Mo Yi flicked one into the claw machine, pulled Ai Aotian next to him to the machine, grabbed his hand and placed it on the joystick, saying, "When it reaches the position you think is right, just press this button."
"Standing on the sidelines and watching others play will take away a lot of the fun."
"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."
Ai Aotian never expected Mo Yi to show off his real skills by catching the Magical Cat and giving it to her. She never expected him to do something like this. He was truly an unexpected man.
However, after Mo Yi said that, Ai Aotian was indeed moved. She now possessed a series of abilities such as clairvoyance, and at least in terms of magic and combat power, she was not much different from an ordinary girl.
Despite his interest, Ai Aotian was still somewhat hesitant, unsure of what he was afraid of, but he was just a little nervous and scared!
Before she met the Old Saber, when she was still a blank slate, she would have been eager to try out such an unknown game. However, after experiencing many changes, she became stronger and stronger, and also more and more like a human. Even when she turned evil, it was still a manifestation of human emotions, rather than the emotionless puppet she was before.
The rejection of the future and failure is one of the inherent traits of human nature.
"This is something I'm not very good at."
"Perhaps you, Lord Mo Yi, would like to do it?"
"Don't be afraid, everyone has a first time—"
Mo Yi could see the fear in the other person's heart. After all, he had been using the life game strategy (clairvoyance) all along. Suddenly not having the cheat code, he naturally couldn't adapt. In the end, it was a lack of courage to try, as well as too much expectation and fear of failure.
So Mo Yi walked up to the other person, placed his hands on the other person's hands, and said with a smile, "I'll teach you—"
Feeling enveloped by Mo Yi's Ai Aotian, who had been feeling insecure because she had turned off her clairvoyance and was like someone going out in the dead of winter wearing only thin clothes, calmed down after feeling the warmth Mo Yi was giving her. It seemed that there was nothing left to be afraid of.
Then, while listening to Mo Yi's explanation in her ear, she controlled the clamp to move it with the help of Mo Yi's large hands. Her target was the deep blue Magical Cat. Then...
It failed.
Ai Aotian: "..."
It was clearly trapped, so why did it still fall down? What the hell is going on?!
Ai Aotian, who had never paid attention to entertainment before, naturally didn't understand the tricks of claw machines and thought that as long as she caught one, it would be hers.
In fact, nothing in the world is that simple, whether it's a claw machine, love, or life.
"It's okay, that's normal. After all, amusement parks need to make money too. They can't give you a toy for every coin."
Mo Yi released his hands from Ai Aotian's, and laughed:
"You should have learned it by now. Try to pick it up yourself."
After saying that, Mo Yi flicked another coin into the coin slot.
"Only things that you acquire yourself have meaning."
Ai Aotian: "..."
What you said makes a lot of sense, but I still feel like something's not right, as if you're just trying to fool me and make me laugh!
Despite his thoughts, when Ai Aotian turned off his clairvoyance and lost his game strategy to try his Ai Aotian at the claw machine, his feelings were a mix of tension, anticipation, excitement, and the resentment of failure. In short, this feeling made the already competitive Ai Aotian somewhat unable to resist.
Simply put, she really wanted to keep playing!
"Um--"
