Raiden Mei, Picked Up and Taken Home

"We're closing soon, this is a cappuccino for you to sober up—"

"Cut--"

Theresa remembered her original plan to stay up all night reading comics. Why was it closing so soon? She hadn't even started reading yet!

But

Theresa picked up her cappuccino, drank it down in one gulp, wiped her mouth, and thought to herself, "It's actually quite delicious."

After setting the cup down, Theresa looked at Mo Yi and asked:

"Can I pack a few bitter melons? Your bitter melons are especially sweet; I'd like to take them home and make my own bitter melon juice."

"No--"

Thinking of those bitter gourds that could run away, how could Mo Yi agree to the other party? If Auntie knew that the bitter gourd juice she was drinking was made from such a brand-new version of bitter gourd essence, who knew if the other party could accept it? What if she couldn't accept it and picked up Judas and smashed the shop?

"We do not offer takeout service here!"

"I can pay."

Ignoring Theresa's cute plea with her hands clasped together, Mo Yi coldly refused, saying, "I said no, and that's final—"

Theresa: "..."

"Tch, what's so great about it!"

She stood up, about to leave, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she looked at Mo Yi again and asked, "Can I come again tomorrow night?"

After carefully studying the game Status Panel of the Late Night Diner, Mo Yi skillfully added Theresa to his list of regular customers, so that she could come back again without having to rely on luck.

"OK--"

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Theresa nodded in satisfaction, preparing to leave, muttering to herself:

"How can the dean of this academy allow such a suspicious little shop to leave without investigating it thoroughly?"

In my heart, I thought, "I don't have to worry about not being able to drink such sweet and fresh bitter melon juice tomorrow night!"

I'll leave the comics for Daoming to read here tomorrow night; anyway, nobody here will recognize me!

I, Theresa, am truly incredibly clever!

After Theresa left, Mo Yi checked the mission progress (1|100). It seemed that he really needed to entertain a hundred guests. However, considering that Xiao Huo's cooking was comparable to the Medicine King's, he didn't think it was too difficult. It was indeed a game that provided warmth and benefits.

"Xiao Huo, tonight's work is finished."

"Let's go back and rest."

Although Xiao Huo was just a character created by Little World Game, Mo Yi felt an unusual sense of familiarity with him. Before leaving, he exchanged several words with him, praising him for his good performance tonight and encouraging him to keep up the good work tomorrow night.

Although the other party still had a blank expression, Mo Yi could sense the joy in their heart.

"You've worked hard too, Father."

After saying that, the little fire turned into a light blue particle of light again and disappeared in front of Mo Yi.

Perhaps tomorrow night I can teach the other person how to make corresponding facial expressions based on their mood?

You can also create masks that express your feelings. The person wearing the mask will show the expression they are feeling, which is very vivid and concrete.

How about we change Xiao Huo's name?

Mo Yi is a name with a distinctly Chinese feel, while Kuroka Hibiki is more like a name from Area 11. I'll ask Xiao Huo tomorrow if she should change her name to Mo Xin.

Being a father is really not easy. It's only half the evening, Mo Yi already feels like he's about to become a worrisome old father.

P. S.: Theresa has a line that goes. "Kneel down at my feet!" (This seems to be from Honkai Impact 2).

So, she will still refer to herself as Miss North.

How many people still know about the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? A tear of a bygone era.

Chapter 66: Raiden Mei, who was taken in by the family

Just as Mo Yi had expected, the Late Night Diner didn't have any problems for the next week or so.

Every night, seven or eight customers would come in. Since the customers were automatically informed of the rules of the Late Night Diner as soon as they entered, Mo Yi didn't need to spend too much time explaining them to each one.

Some people left directly, while others sat down indifferently and accepted Xiao Huo's (medicinal) cooking.

Anyone who eats this dish will have their memories stirred by its deliciousness, whether happy, sad, or reflecting on life. They will find themselves unable to stop looking back and telling their own stories.

The customers I've met over the past week or so are mostly ordinary people with their own stories.

For example, there's the story of a young woman who has been in a relationship for seven years, only to find her husband has found someone else; the middle-aged programmer who works overtime until midnight for his wife and children and is starting to go bald; the young man who is so excited about his successful marriage proposal that he can't sleep; and the elementary school student who complains that her parents always make her get first place in the entire grade. In short, there are all sorts of stories about the joys and sorrows of ordinary people.

There are also guests with extraordinary powers who come to the door, only to turn around and leave immediately; these are the most common types of guests.

Of course, there were also some guests who wanted to cause trouble.

But just as he was about to cause trouble, he was knocked to the ground by Xiao Huo had cheated in the Late Night Diner.

Remember the crab-man from the night before last? He came in very arrogantly and said he would turn everyone here into midnight snacks. He was knocked unconscious by Xiao Huo and dragged into the kitchen. Mo Yi never saw him again.

However, Mo Yi also encountered one or two interesting extraordinary guests. The most memorable one was a talking slime. It was a slime completely different from the one Mo Yi had imagined. It was a real talent, with intelligence no less than that of a human. It spoke in a pleasant and interesting way, and Mo Yi loved drinking tea and chatting with it.

As for Theresa, she arrived promptly every night.

Every night after drinking a cup of bitter melon juice, she starts to put on all sorts of cute performances, saying that in addition to being the chairperson of St. Freya and the World's Number One Cutie, the headmaster of this academy also has another unknown identity, which is the Magical Girl Teri Teri who punishes evildoers in the name of the moon whenever someone cries for help under the moon!

Mo Yi can now say that he probably understands Theresa better than Theresa herself. Theresa is a complete Derishya!

Mo Yi, who listened to Theresa's self-praise every night, wondered if he should take his adopted Moonlit Theresa one evening and show her what it truly meant to be the World's Number One Cutie.

What Mo Yi cared about even more was that, as the mission progressed, Mo Yi discovered that his Daughter Xiao Huo, was becoming more and more human. In just over a week, she had become just like a normal person in terms of emotions, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. In fact, her emotional changes were more intense and pure than those of ordinary people, but she still maintained the original three-no expression face she had when she was first born.

Or rather, it is precisely because of his rich emotions that he has always maintained a blank expression.

Having read this far, Mo Yi could roughly guess what Xiao Huo's true nature was.

Although Xiao Huo still respected Mo Yi as his father, that bastard Theresa would always take advantage of drinking fake alcohol to complain to Xiao Huo about how bad Mo Yi was.
