I found a belt in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

?我

[Look at you! Do you even deserve to be called a proper Kamen Rider?! Where's your integrity?!][Selling them all, two yuan a pound.]

"Then I'll begin." Himeko picked up her pen again. "What were you doing at noon the day before yesterday?" "Replying to the officer," Mo Mo answered dutifully, "I was delivering takeout in downtown Canghai City."

"You know about the Honkai invasion that happened back then, right?" "Yes." Mo Mo nodded. "Then why didn't you take refuge?" Himeko twirled her pen, then looked up at Mo Mo. "That was my duty. I would never back down because of such a small difficulty." "Mo Mo said seriously, 'I have a dream, and that is to become the star of the food delivery industry!'... Himeko paused slightly as she scribbled in her notebook, seemingly not expecting Mo Mo to give such an answer. 'That's ridiculous! Aren't you afraid of dying?' 'Because I have to earn money to support my family, ah...' Mo Mo gave a dry laugh and turned his face away. 'Is that really the case?' Himeko's tone became subtle, 'Or is the real reason actually... those guys simply couldn't do anything to you?' 'Undoubtedly, it was that bastard Kiana who sold me out!' 'What do you mean? I don't understand!' *Snap!* Himeko slammed her notebook down, the pen tip pointing at Mo Mo, and asked sharply, 'Tell me honestly! How did you deal with those monsters!'"

29. The Truth That Is Not Believed

"Tell me the truth! How did you deal with those monsters?!" Himeko's resounding question echoed in the dark space, making Mo Mo's heart tremble slightly. Before, he might have been wondering how much Kiana had confessed, but now he didn't need to think about it anymore. She had clearly told him everything. Kiana's actions were truly childish; she actually revealed her "savior" like that. He wondered what kind of bargaining chips they used to get her to open her mouth. "..." Faced with Himeko's aggressive questioning, Mo Mo remained silent while trying to think of a countermeasure. [You messed up, didn't you? Wrong, that feels good, I like you just like this. 1 [Don't underestimate it, this little situation can't stump me.] "Speak!" Himeko was not willing to let Mo Mo get away with it so easily. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her breasts swaying. "Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!" "What are you saying, sir?" Mo Mo's face turned red. "That's nonsensical." I don't understand what you're saying. What do you mean, "defeated the Honkai Beasts"?

"So you've already started denying the facts?" Himeko sneered. "I have evidence. Summon the witness!" Himeko patted her hands, and a figure emerged from the darkness, stumbling a few times before regaining his footing. "I think you should know this person," Himeko said, arms crossed, appearing confident. "Then there's no need for introductions." Mo Mo silently turned his head, casting his gaze over. It was Kiana Kaslana, one of the three who had captured him earlier, the culprit behind it all. And she, too, looked quite unnatural. Kiana cautiously glanced at Mo Mo, as if she saw him glare at her fiercely, but then his blank expression returned, making her wonder if it was just her imagination. "Then let me recount what exactly happened that day." "Himeko slowly recounted, 'Kiana and two other team members split up to eliminate the Horned Beasts. Near the end, they discovered someone being chased by a horde of Horned Beasts—that was you.' Himeko then pointed to Momo. 'As a Valkyrie, it's natural not to stand by and watch someone die. However, an accident occurred during the rescue operation. Kiana's communication equipment was lost. By the time the equipment was retrieved, the Horned Beast horde had been completely wiped out. So, the question is, what happened during the time communication was interrupted?'"

.... "

"Kiana, you go first." Kiana described the scene with gestures, omitting any unnecessary physical contact. "And before I could even react, those horned monsters were defeated." "That's enough." Himeko waved Kiana to stop, then looked at Momo, "So, Mr. Momo, can you tell me what you actually did? No, no, no, just nonsense." Momo waved his hand, "What are you talking about? How could someone as small as me throw her that far? And take down so many monsters at once? Do you think I'm Superman?" "Eh?" Kiana was taken aback, then realized, 'How can you lie through your teeth? You clearly did it yourself, how can you deny it!'

"Alright, Kiana, stop for now." Himeko waved her hand unhappily. "You mean, my lovely student lied to me? Mr. Momo, there are some basic rules to follow when lying. Besides Kiana, you're the only one here. Although you don't seem to possess such exaggerated abilities on the surface, how do we know you're not hiding something?" "I don't understand what you're saying." Momo clearly acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, determined to play dumb to the end. "Then let me ask you another question. Just now, if you were just an ordinary person, how could you possibly have detected the sneak attack and counterattacked in such a short time? Please don't treat us like we're blind or stupid. There are no StarCraft players here." At this point, Himeko's eyes narrowed, and she slammed her hand on the table. "Momo, you..."

"You still say you don't know martial arts!" "I'm naturally strong!" Mo Mo spread his hands, speaking matter-of-factly. "Looks like you're going to deny it to the death?" Himeko's eyes turned dangerous. "W-what are you going to do?" Mo Mo's body stiffened. "Mei, Bronya! Here!" Two figures, one large and one small, emerged from the darkness, standing behind Himeko. "Give me the severe punishment!...Misunderstanding?" Mei and Bronya were both slightly taken aback, looking at each other, unsure of what to do. "Ah, cough, sorry, I've been watching too many movies in my spare time these past few days." Himeko coughed slightly awkwardly, "It's okay, you can go back to your seats."

"Officer, I'm just an ordinary convenience store clerk and deliveryman. I only learned a few fancy tricks from my dad. Why are you so persistent? Let's all compromise and let me go back to being a regular citizen. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?" Himeko said casually. "What if your true nature is a big monster disguised as a harmless person..." "I've been working so honestly, lady!" Mo Mo was taken aback. "Have you ever seen such an honest monster like me? If it weren't for your honesty, do you think we would have used such a gentle method to call you in for a talk?" Himeko rolled her eyes. "Gentle? Not gentle?" They've already taken action, and you call that gentle? What exactly do you consider brutality? "Just send a warship to your doorstep and bombard it." Himeko's answer was crisp and decisive. Okay, as expected of you. Mo Mo gave Ji Zi a thumbs-up, feeling utterly powerless. "Then I'll ask you one more time, are you going to confess or not?" Unable to confess. "There's really no other way..." Ji Zi rubbed her head, looking quite troubled. "I can only use my last resort." "Last resort?" "5000, no, 50000!" Ji Zi held up five fingers. "As long as you confess honestly, the cash will be handed over directly, and we can guarantee we won't leak a single piece of information, and we can even provide you with some assistance."

[Hey! You're not actually tempted, are you?! Just for 50000?]... Mo Mo looked at Kiana with great suspicion, clearly distrustful. "Ahem, this is an exception. I'll make her reflect on her actions later." Himeko coughed awkwardly twice. Hey! Aunt Himeko, how could you do this! Clearly...." Kiana! 0 Gu gurgle.. . ". Kiana shrank back weakly. 'Alright, Mr. Mo Mo, you can begin.' Himeko signaled Mo Mo to start. "It all started from the beginning." Mo Mo sighed, ...I come from another world, and came here to find my missing father... Why are you looking at me like that? What's with this look of looking at an idiot? Himeko is one thing, but why is Kiana looking at me like that too! "No, I mean, do you really think we're idiots?" Himeko's eyebrows twitched.

"I'm serious!"

30. Even in the face of coercion and temptation, one must remain true to one's principles.

"Anyway, that's how it is." Mo Mo leaned back in despair, rolling his eyes, clearly indifferent. [Tsk tsk tsk, I think I know why you dared to tell the truth. Let me see what you just said.] Himeko laughed instead of getting angry. "From another world, you came to this world to find your father, working while searching for him. Do you think you're writing a novel?!" However, she took Mo Mo's words as complete nonsense. Not only Himeko, but Kiana and Mei also had expressions of disbelief. As for Bronya, it seemed impossible to read anything from her emotionless expression. "So you don't believe what I said?" Mo Mo's eyebrows twitched.

"How can I believe you?" Mo Mo sighed, rubbing his forehead. "These days, nobody believes the truth. Let me tell you, if I didn't think you were good people, I wouldn't have told you these things. Pah, you make it sound so real, isn't it just for that little bit of money?"

[Look at how capable you are, if you're so capable, why don't you give me some incense money?] "Let's leave the matter of your background here. We already have a general idea. In short, you're an outsider in Canghai City." Let's just consider what Mo Mo just described as the delusions of a delusional teenager. Ji Zi then asked, "So you're now admitting that you were the one who dealt with those villains, right?" I didn't say that.

"Hey!" Mo Mo coughed lightly, his eyes gleaming. "Then let's say so..." Kiana said, puffing out her cheeks in dissatisfaction. "What do you mean 'say so'? I already said he definitely killed her." "It's only because you were there that I intervened." Mo Mo glanced at Kiana, then sighed. "What do you mean?" Kiana seemed a little confused. "..." In contrast to the bewildered expression of the person involved, Mei, who was watching the scene unfold, muttered to herself. To protect the girl in danger, she stood up without hesitation... It really is a pretty classic development. "If it weren't for you..." "Mo Mo glared with dead fish eyes and added, "I could have just run away, why would I need to go through all this trouble and end up being surrounded by you now? You ungrateful bastard!" Kiana originally wanted to retort, but realizing she was in the wrong, she weakly shrank back, "I'm sorry... [There's a reason you've been single for 20 years, Mo Mo, you deserve it.] [Why?! I didn't say anything wrong!] [Stop talking, you're hopeless.]" Kiana's daily embarrassing moments are another matter, the important thing is how you did it, Mr. Mo Mo. This is not a simple thing, rather, not many people can do it, so I hope you can satisfy my curiosity. "Sorry, that's a matter of personal privacy, and I cannot answer that." Mo Mo immediately put on a flawless smile. "After all, a pitiful person like me with no one to rely on might attract the attention of malicious people if I don't keep any secrets, unless..." "You're trying to raise the price." Ji Zi naturally understood Mo Mo's meaning and replied with dissatisfaction, "That's not fair." "I've explained my background clearly, and it's already part of the DIC section, so isn't it reasonable to pay more?" "I'm unlucky to have run into someone like you who's obsessed with money." "Himeko slapped her knee angrily, "Another ten thousand! We agreed beforehand that this is all from my own pocket, not some shameless act of embezzlement. That's enough to prove my sincerity, right?" "That's about right..." "Then hurry up and say it!" Himeko was completely fed up with Mo Mo's nonsense. "No, you have to settle the previous bill first." Mo Mo shook his head decisively, refusing. Anyone can make an empty promise; who knows if you'll renege? Including what you just owed, you have to give me 62,000 first, otherwise I absolutely won't say anything! "You bastard!" Himeko gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, but ultimately chose to compromise, "Can we pay in installments?" "I see you're not low-ranking, are you? You can't even afford this much money?" Mo Mo looked astonished. Wasn't Himeko an A-rank Valkyrie? Shouldn't the salary and subsidies of an A-rank Valkyrie be incredibly high? This amount should be just a drop in the ocean for them. "It's because the academy's funds are tight lately... cough cough." Realizing she might have revealed something she shouldn't have, Himeko quickly changed the subject. "Just give me an answer, whether it's good or not." "No." Mo Mo stuck to his principles. "Then we'll talk when you give me the money." "Damn it!" Himeko almost cursed. "You brat, don't forget where you are!" "W-what?" "I didn't want to use this method." Himeko waved her hand behind her with an unfriendly expression. "But there's no other way. Since you won't tell us, we'll have to verify it ourselves." After Himeko's gesture, Mei nodded knowingly and pulled out a knife from somewhere. It was obviously no ordinary knife. Mechanical shadows gradually appeared behind Bronya. Only Kiana looked around in confusion, not understanding what was going on. "Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm very strong." Mo Mo leaned back in his chair, backing away menacingly. "If you piss me off, you're all in for a world of hurt!" "Then come on then~" Ji Zi licked her lips, rubbing her fists as she stood up from her chair. "I'll see if you can outmaneuver me with your little arms and legs! You can scream your lungs out today, but no one will come to your rescue!" Mo Mo heard this line almost every night. Facing the three people who were closing in, Mo Mo lowered his head and sighed. "If I wanted to get rid of you, I could do it anytime. The reason I haven't is because I hate fighting, because it goes against my goal of pursuing a peaceful life, so..." [But Mr. Mo Liang Mo Ying, they don't seem to listen to you at all.] "But since that's the case, I have no choice but to fight back!" Mo Mo's eyes narrowed, and his handcuffed hands snapped open with a sharp crack. "I knew this childish thing wouldn't hold you back." Himeko seemed completely unsurprised. "Looks like you're serious, very well, but don't underestimate the Valkyrie's strength!" The atmosphere instantly became tense, as if an extraordinary conflict could erupt in this small space at any moment. Just then... "Click." A switch clicked, and bright lights illuminated the entire living room. "I'm back!" The group, who had been locked in a heated argument, turned to look at the door. A little girl in a nun's habit stood in the doorway, holding up a bag. "Come on, let's have a party... Wait, what are you doing?"

31. Like fire and water

"Wait, what are you doing?" Having seen the scene in the living room, Theresa lowered the bag she had been holding above her head and asked疑惑地问道. "Oh, I know her." The system also recognized Theresa at a glance. "She's that little girl who kept slacking off in the second 'Bad War'."

[While what you said might not be entirely wrong, it is indeed quite hurtful.] However, the figure before her, identical to the one in her memory, was no longer Theresa, whom she had met a few times. Instead, it was a parallel entity from another world who had experienced everything without any intervention? Was that its name? Never mind, it doesn't matter. Compared to all this, the situation in the living room was even stranger. Mei held her sword, Bronya had summoned Heavy Bunny from inside, Himeko was rubbing her hands together in anticipation, Momo still had broken handcuffs on both wrists, and only Kiana was still completely bewildered. It was a scene that looked like a chaotic brawl was about to begin. Seeing this, Theresa realized she might have missed something good, but she had returned just in time. "Yo, Theresa, you're back! Just in time!" Himeko waved to Theresa, "This little one is a bit uncooperative, intending to..."

"Since you're here too, why don't you join in?" Although she seemed fearless at first, Himeko was actually quite nervous inside. She couldn't guarantee whether her group could handle this enigmatic individual, but now that another capable fighter had arrived, she naturally wanted to bring her in to increase their chances of victory. A lineup of one S, one A, and one EB—that should be a sure thing, right? Wait, Himeko, what did you do?" Theresa came running over with her short legs, placing large bags on the living room table. What was going on? Mo Mo silently looked down at Theresa. "Didn't you say we'd catch this guy and give him a surprise?" Himeko replied. "I didn't expect him to be so troublesome, even trying to extort money from me." "You were the one who paid him!" Momo retorted. And it was Theresa who came up with the idea! I never expected that Teriri would send her henchmen to do such shady things. It's truly disappointing. "That's no excuse for you to raise the price!" Himeko slammed her hands on the table, confronting Momo head-on. "Sizzle." A not-so-holy spark ignited between them. "Tingting, you two calm down first." Theresa quickly waved her hand to stop them, looking at Himeko, "Himeko, you must have misunderstood. The 'surprise' I mentioned wasn't about arresting people!" "What else could it be?" Himeko was taken aback. "A party?" "Yes!" Theresa answered confidently, pointing to the large and small packages on the table, "Look, I specially prepared this." A single glance revealed only the tip of the iceberg of snacks and comics. "Are you serious?" Himeko glanced down at Theresa in surprise. "???" Even Mo Mo himself was confused. "A party? Why?" Himeko added the second half of the question. "Why? Why ask why?" "My dear elementary school principal, I feel I need an explanation." Himeko tapped her forehead, feeling rather helpless, and asked, "Faced with this guy whose danger is unclear, you didn't think of arresting him for questioning but instead invited him to the Oparty?" [Yeah, right.] The system chimed in. "I'm not dangerous at all!" Saying 'little' is unnecessary! Theresa and Momo retorted simultaneously. After exchanging glances, Theresa continued to explain, "Although we really can't be sure what kind of guy he is... Okay, I know you're not dangerous at all, so you don't need to say anything. Ahem, anyway, Himeko, he's the one who saved Kiana, so of course we should call him over to thank him properly."

Himeko couldn't refute the fact that Kiana almost got herself into trouble. "But at least we need to be 100% sure about him first." "Don't worry, this child is definitely not a bad person," Theresa said confidently. "Child, child?" Mo Mo's eyebrows twitched. Although there might not be anything wrong with his age, it felt incredibly incongruous for this little girl who looked only 12 years old to say that. "Why are you so sure?" Himeko pressed. "Of course it's because..." Theresa's smooth answer suddenly stopped. Her words of advice were still fresh in her mind. "Because I can tell at a glance that you're a good person!" Theresa gritted her teeth and awkwardly added the second half of the sentence, "My intuition is very accurate." Well, that's true. Mo Mo nodded as well, "People who know me say that I'm the kind of person who wears the word 'good' on my sleeve." [How many "good person cards" have you received since you were a child?] The system asked, puzzled. "[Do you remember how many pieces of bread you've ever eaten?]" Momo countered. "[Do you think a belt can be used to eat things?]..." "For such a ridiculous reason, I really don't know what to say to you..." Himeko shook her head helplessly. "What? Himeko, you think so too, don't you?" Theresa retorted, dissatisfied. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have talked to him for so long." "Well, while that's certainly a factor, the main reason is that we should avoid direct confrontation when the combat strength is uncertain." "But now I've changed my mind." Himeko suddenly changed the subject, "This guy is definitely not a good person! I strongly suspect that if we let him continue like this, one day he'll succumb to the temptation of desire and rob a bank." "You've insulted my 2.17 years of integrity and principles," Mo Mo said sternly. "I demand an immediate apology! You, who would sell yourself for 50,000, do you even have any principles?" "You two, quiet down! Stop arguing!" Theresa stomped her foot and loudly stopped them. "Anyway, I can guarantee that this Mo Mo is not a bad person. Himeko, you shouldn't keep harping on him." "As expected, the headmistress understands things perfectly." Theresa's assurance pleased Mo Mo greatly. "Tch, for Theresa's sake..." Himeko muttered dismissively. "What do you mean, 'for Theresa's sake'? Hey, don't think I'm really afraid of you!" Who's afraid of who! "Meow!" "Meow! What kind of mess is this..." Theresa sighed. But since it was just a verbal dispute, it meant that Himeko had at least acknowledged Mo Mo's safety. As for arguing a bit, well, let it be. But judging from the situation, the party probably wouldn't be happening. "Mo Mo, can I call you like this?"

"Ahem, since the headmistress is willing to release them, then I'll be going." Having received Theresa's approval, Mo Mo couldn't care less about his argument with Himeko and hurriedly...

He quickly pulled out a chair, glanced at the crowd in front of him, and headed towards the entrance. "Goodbye everyone!" But after only a few steps, he turned back, took out his phone, and waved it at Himeko. "Hey? Want to chat on WeChat?" "Huh?" Himeko seemed a little surprised. "What, you trying to flirt with me?" "What are you thinking?" Mo Mo looked completely bewildered. "Don't forget you still owe me 6uw2. I'm being nice and covering for you. 6w, even if it's in installments, you still have to pay it back."... After a long silence, Himeko exploded with an even louder voice. "Beep (censored)"

32. Ding dong, your favorability rating has increased.

"Ugh...that's quite a volume." Mo Mo frowned, rubbing his ears as he walked. It felt like he was being bombarded with noise. He didn't know why, but Himeko seemed unusually irritable today; probably because her period had started. [Are you pretending to be innocent? Culprit, Mr. Mo.] The system chimed in, [What? You two seemed to have a pretty good relationship, didn't you?]

[Which eye of yours saw that we were getting along well?] Mo Mo glanced at her waist and retorted, [Oh, I forgot you don't have eyes, sorry.]

[They can argue so happily on their first meeting, isn't their relationship good enough?]...Maybe. Mo Mo glanced down at his phone; the still-lit app showed that he had accepted someone's friend request. [I guess I underestimated you. You got her contact information so easily.] The system continued, [Now I'm starting to suspect you deliberately provoked her... Hmm, that feigned indifference tactic worked well, Mo. When are you planning to ask her out for dinner?] [I want to keep my ears.] Mo Mo pursed his lips. The buzzing echo still lingered in his ears. [Besides, although this time it really didn't work out, I don't think they'll give up so easily. They'll definitely keep looking for me.] Mo Mo was very self-aware. [Then it's better to keep it simple, save ourselves a lot of beating around the bush, and let them think we're innocent.] [You talk a good game, but in the end it's all about getting money. Keep it simple, keep your words simple, skip the unnecessary pretense. You're not an actor.] The system pointed out Mo Mo's "true thoughts" incisively. [Although I can't rule out that possibility...] Mo Mo explained, then guiltily looked away.

"Ding-dong." A system notification sound drew Mo Mo's attention back. "...2100?" Mo Mo murmured the number. Then a bubble popped up below. "The extra 100 is for the takeout. You forgot to take it. I won't take advantage of you; consider the extra a tip. You don't need to pay it back." [Hey, isn't this a nice older sister? This is a great deal, Mo Mo.] [Not just a great deal, it's a huge profit!] The four-digit number seemed to turn into candy, jumping into Mo Mo's heart, sweet and delightful. [This way, my monthly income will increase again. Awesome!]

[The way you're talking makes it sound like I'm being kept by a rich woman.]... In a way, it does seem a bit like that. "I traded secrets for this, how come it sounds so different in your mouth..." Mo Mo muttered to herself, her fingers tapping lightly on her phone screen.

"Thank you for your patronage. Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions."

Only a single, simple character, yet it perfectly conveyed the other person's current mood. They seemed quite frustrated. "They can't even come up with this much money; it seems St. Freya Academy is indeed severely lacking in funds." Mo Mo sighed empathetically; even the ace A-rank Valkyrie, Himeko, had to live frugally.

Such selfless dedication is truly admirable. With these feelings in mind, Mo Mo sent another message: "Second time half price, dear~" "If you don't keep your word, you'll get double the price when you go grocery shopping." Judging by the speed of the reply, Mo Mo suspected she was constantly checking her phone. And when did Ji Zi become so refined and easygoing? But seeing these familiar words, Mo Mo unexpectedly felt a sense of warmth, as if the distance between them had been shortened. [Ugh~ Disgusting.][You're the one who's disgusting.] That forcedly coquettish voice made Mo Mo frown. [I can't take it anymore, this voice is making me want to vomit, D ugh - -][?] The system concisely typed a question mark: [Are you dissatisfied with the voice pack I carefully selected?][Well, you should at least have some self-awareness, really.] Mo Mo shook his head helplessly.

"Ding-dong. Another message notification. But this time it's not Himeko." Kiana [Tsk, just now she was a sexy and mature older sister, and now she's turned into an innocent and naive junior. Multitasking, impressive, my Mozai, feeling great, right? 1 [Great my foot! If it weren't for so many people around, I would have definitely settled a score with Kiana. The promise to keep the secret was so unreliable.]

"Senior, I'm sorry o(τ_ _T)o." Without any unnecessary pretense, the opening is straightforward, even including emoticons. [Your cute junior is here to apologize, what are you going to do? 1]

[Add an ellipsis, it's versatile, both offensive and defensive, truly worthy of me. 1 "Senior, you're not angry, are you? (。_ . *)"]

"Yes, yes, I knew you wouldn't be angry, senior."

"At worst, I'll just compensate you, senior. Compensate?" Mo Mo's eyes narrowed. That's exactly what I was waiting for.

"The usual place, my treat."

"You said it, I took a screenshot, don't try to renege." I knew you'd say that, just like you always are, senior. At this rate, you'll never find a girlfriend. "Shocking dog mom jpg. [Look, she's already touched you back, what are you going to do if you keep going like this.... [Mind your own business!] "I will, I'll have money, I'll have a girlfriend (*- ~ )!" Pfft, looks so pitiful. "-(**m*). Just you wait and see. Kiana is really not cute today. "Then let's wait and see, keep up the good work, senior, fighting." The target you are calling has been removed, please try again later. After typing the last word, Mo Mo put his phone back in his pocket. [My heart is so...] [Pfft, what's the use of being heartbroken, do you think I'll sympathize with you?] The system chuckled gloatingly, [Reflect on yourself properly.] "Hmph!" With a heavy nasal sound, Mo Mo crossed the flowerbed and walked to the familiar tree. Using both hands and feet, he nimbly climbed up, leaped over the high wall, and landed smoothly on the other side of the ground. The Triangular Tracker III of Si Shi remained silently parked in the sunlight, quietly waiting for its master's return. Riding his bicycle, Mo Mo gradually moved away from St. Freya Academy in the fading sunlight and the clear ringing of the bell. But he had a premonition. This certainly wouldn't be his last time here.

33. Theresa's Olive Branch

Although he had indeed said before that he would definitely have another chance to come to St. Freya Academy, Mo Mo never expected that this so-called "next time" would come so soon. Sitting on the sofa, which was obviously expensive, Mo Mo looked around restlessly. The location was the principal's office at St. Freya Academy, and the principal was now standing in front of Mo Mo, proudly holding her head high, puffing out something that didn't exist, gesturing wildly and talking incessantly... Why was he here again? Mo Mo squinted, pinching his chin and trying to remember. Until he saw the takeout box on the desk. That's it, what other reason could a deliveryman like him have to be here? "Um, Principal Theresa, could you stop for a moment?" Mo Mo felt that if he didn't interrupt, Theresa might continue talking in one breath. "What's wrong? I just got to the important part?" Theresa tilted her head in confusion. "Could you calculate the money first?" Mo Mo pointed to the takeout on the table and said sincerely, "I still have to work. I'll come back to listen to your long-winded lecture next time." "Money? ...Ahem, no rush." ​​Theresa paused slightly, "I'll have Himeko transfer the money later, don't worry." "Then I'll go first, goodbye Theresa! Wait!" Theresa ran quickly to Mo Mo with her short legs and opened her arms to block his way, "Don't rush off, think about what I just said." "Did you say anything?" Mo Mo was stunned. From the moment he sat down, Theresa had praised St. Freya Academy to the skies, from the teaching resources to the teaching equipment, etc., etc., without missing a single thing. But apart from that, she didn't mention anything else. "Didn't I say anything? Ahem, sorry, maybe I forgot." Theresa forcefully pulled Mo Mo to the sofa again, pressed him down, and said seriously, "To put it simply... young man, I see you have extraordinary potential, a rare talent. Why not join our ranks and work together to save the world?" After taking a few seconds to grasp the meaning behind Theresa's words, Mo Mo frowned. "Ha..."

"No, I didn't hear you clearly just now. You said 'Save the world!'" Theresa said smugly, hands on her hips. "Is there a problem? Sure enough, my hearing wasn't wrong." "There's a huge problem, okay?" Mo Mo replied without thinking. "'Save the world' means..." Our St. Freya Academy has always adhered to the philosophy of recruiting talents from all walks of life, upholding the principle of not favoring those based on their background. And you are exactly the kind of talented and virtuous person we have been looking for. Theresa finally revealed her purpose. [No wonder she sounded like a salesperson earlier, she's here to poach me.] Mo Mo looked at Theresa, his eyes filled with suspicion. "How did you come to think I'm talented and virtuous?" [Yeah, what makes her think you're talented and virtuous?]

"I trust my judgment," Theresa said firmly. Although there was an element of recommendation from an acquaintance, the previous horned beast extermination incident was enough to reveal some clues. His strength was unquestionable, and his character shouldn't be a major issue. It would be a waste to leave such talent untapped. "So you're thinking of enrolling in St. Freya Academy?" Theresa smiled slightly. "I see you're at the perfect age for school..." "A student? No way, no way!" Momo immediately shook his head vigorously. "Why?" Theresa asked, puzzled. "You've already met Kiana and the others; you can ask them if you have any questions. Think about it some more?"

"Wow, +3 study buddy? Such a high offer, Mo Mo, you really don't want to consider it?" "I still need to earn money to support my family. Besides, this is a place to train Valkyries, it's not suitable, not suitable." Ignoring the system's teasing, Mo Mo decisively rejected this seemingly tempting offer. [Isn't it great? The only male student in the girls' school, the road to being surrounded by beautiful women and reaching the pinnacle of life is waiting for you, and you actually refused? Tsk tsk tsk.] "That seems to make sense..." Theresa nodded thoughtfully, "Then you can be a teacher, not a student." "Teacher? But I'm 7." Age is not a problem, your strength is beyond doubt." Theresa didn't seem to mind, "We also have a student in our academy, although she is still in school, she is already a genuine A-rank Valkyrie, and we occasionally let her teach some classes, so age is not a problem. Oh right, she is also from China, so..."

"You might be from the same hometown." At first glance, this seems fine, but... that person is probably older than everyone in the entire college combined, right? "How about it? Instead of being an ordinary deliveryman, why not join us and become one of the world's saviors?"

"It is indeed a tempting offer, but I..." Don't rush to refuse, the terms are negotiable. Theresa waved her hand, interrupting Mo Mo, 'I guarantee it will be more than you earn from two jobs combined. Really?' Mo Mo seemed a little doubtful. Could it be an empty promise to lure him in and then trap him? Himeko's squeezing-out way of repaying the money was still fresh in his mind. "Of course!" Theresa nodded heavily, "As long as you nod, I'll give the order right now, and you can start work tomorrow. You only need to be in charge of some practical courses, it's very simple, right?"... Mo Mo stroked his chin and lowered his head, deep in thought. Obviously, he was struggling. "And you're looking for your father's whereabouts, right? We can help you, how thoughtful is that?" The originally balanced scales tilted at this moment. "That's possible, but I want to make a small request." "Go ahead," Theresa waved her hand magnanimously. Momo instantly became serious. "No delays in your salary!" Theresa felt rather helpless, but still nodded. "No problem! I promise you won't be treated unfairly!" Momo gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. "So when do you start work?" "Probably tomorrow, right." Theresa suddenly remembered something, "Are you planning to move into the academy? There are still vacancies in the faculty dormitory." "This... I think I'll pass. What if Theresa sees Sirin or Karen?"

“Since you’re unwilling, I won’t force you.” Theresa extended her hand to Mo Mo. “Anyway, welcome to the school, Teacher Mo Mo.” “I will try my best not to disappoint the headmaster.” Mo Mo also extended his hand, shaking Theresa’s, and said sincerely, “So… can I get an advance on this month’s salary?”

Chapter Recommendation: "The Correct Way to Win Over a Yandere"

Just to clarify, I'm only posting this because I'm at work and can't update right now (sigh), it's not because I'm lazy.

——————————-Introduction——————————

Hiroyuki Suzuki always thought that the so-called yanderes were fake, just characters in a game, until one day, a guy called the system told him to conquer twelve yanderes, or the world would be destroyed.

There are aggressive types, possessive types, self-harming types, exclusionary types, humorous types, clingy types, murderous types, and so on.

Hiroyuki Suzuki: Wait, why is my cute little sister in there too?

And so, he was forced to embark on a journey to save the world.

Hmm, I also need to think about how to escape from those few dangerous yanderes.

34. The Convenience Store's Last Night

The drawn-out tone echoed in the deserted convenience store late at night. "Senior, you're quitting?" Kiana asked, her eyes wide with confusion. "Really?" "Of course it's true," Mo Mo replied without looking up, counting the coins in the register. "I've already spoken to the manager. It's a bit rushed, but tonight is my last night working here. Thinking about it, it's actually a little hard to leave." After all, it was this job that solved Mo Mo's immediate problem after arriving in this unfamiliar world, preventing him from constantly wandering the park in the wind and rain. How much of the several months he'd spent in this world had he actually done in this small station? But... the work he was about to do carried the responsibility of saving the world! Compared to that, such melancholy was insignificant. [Easy to say, but it's all about the money.] The system scoffed disdainfully. [But I have to warn you beforehand, Mo Mo, be prepared for them to delay your salary. They only gave you half of your first month's advance; the outlook isn't optimistic.] [I want to do my part in fighting against the evil forces of this world. As for the salary... cough cough, we'll talk about it later.] Mo Mo said haltingly, lacking any confidence. [Oh ho, now you're all high and mighty, huh? Fine, let's see how you behave when it's payday. We'll wait and see.] Lost in his thoughts with the system, Mo Mo gradually realized a gaze was fixed on his back. "Um... Kiana, is there anything you want to say?" Mo Mo turned and asked, closing the cash register. "No, I just..." Kiana frowned, stroking her smooth chin in thought, "What was your reason for resigning, senior?" "Is that even a question? Of course..." Stop, let me guess. Kiana interrupted Mo Mo, "Based on my understanding of you, senior, it must be that reason."

"Which one?" Mo Mo asked with interest. Kiana didn't answer, but simply raised her right hand and rubbed the pads of her index finger and thumb together a few times. The meaning was quite clear. "You really know me well." Mo Mo smiled wryly, acknowledging Kiana's guess. "It's because you're so easy to understand, senior." Kiana sighed, pursed her lips, and continued, 'I really can't think of anything else besides this.'

"Possibility." "Kiana." Mo Mo sighed helplessly, "In my long working life, I've discovered one thing: convenience store clerks and delivery drivers have their limits... "Are you trying to become inhuman?" "Cough." Mo Mo was choked by Kiana's interruption, "I just plan to change careers, I found a higher-paying job." "Well, congratulations." Kiana clapped her hands and said in a monotone tone, 'Another step towards a great goal, congratulations.' "Dear senior, you've found a better job, don't you have a single sincere blessing in your heart?" No, no, not at all. Kiana waved her hand dismissively. "Well, since you're resigning from here, senior, I don't need to call you senior anymore, right?" "Isn't addressing someone casual?" Mo Mo replied naturally. "Right, junior?" Kiana rolled her eyes at Mo Mo and settled back into her usual spot, killing time before the end of the workday. After a long while, she sighed. "What's wrong? You don't seem very happy?" Sensing the oppressive atmosphere beside her, Mo Mo glanced down. "Could it be... because I'm leaving and you're reluctant to go? [I think you've probably eaten too many peaches, haven't you?]" Kiana pressed half her cheek against the counter, looking at Mo Mo expressionlessly, and slowly raised her hand. "Sorry, sorry, just kidding. It's rare to see you so down." "Senior, you're really presumptuous." Kiana's hand tightened, a glint of something in her eyes. "I was just worried the boss might charge me with your shift too." "Is he really that heartless? Weren't we good friends who went out for skewers together? Well..." Kiana's eyes darted around, her gaze drifting into the distance. "Maybe, there's still a tiny bit... of reluctance."

"But you're probably wasting your feelings. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet again in the future." "Huh?" Kiana paused slightly, "Why?" "Didn't Principal Theresa tell you?" Mo Mo was somewhat puzzled by Kiana's confusion. "Maybe... perhaps... maybe... I forgot, haha." Kiana looked away shyly. "In that case, let me tell you, junior—no, from now on I'll call you Kiana-kun." "Mo Mo smiled meaningfully. Starting tomorrow, I will be the new teacher at St. Freya Academy." "Teacher? You?" Kiana's eyes widened in astonishment. "I've never heard of this before!" "Now you have." Mo Mo was very satisfied with Kiana's shock. "So, why don't you call me Teacher Mo Mo first?" [You've really jumped right into the role? Are you really capable of it?] [Indeed, I have absolutely no experience...] "No, no, no, why did you become a teacher at St. Freya?" Kiana straightened up, her face full of confusion. "What's there to ask?" Mo Mo replied matter-of-factly. "Principal Theresa asked me to go, so I went... What's wrong with your expression? While shock is understandable, isn't this a bit too much?" After the initial shock subsided, Kiana looked conflicted again. "What can I teach?" Theresa said she wanted me to teach some practical lessons, understand? If you understand, then call me Teacher Mo. "Oh no, this is all over." Kiana slumped against the wall, rubbing her forehead. "Hey! That's so rude!" Kiana's utterly hopeless expression deeply stung Mo Mo's heart. "Don't underestimate me, I've got some skills too."

"We'll see if you have the skills then." Kiana's eyes were filled with distrust as she looked at Mo Mo. "I'll definitely challenge you tomorrow." "Don't worry, I'll hold back." Mo Mo gave a thumbs up, grinned, and flashed a hearty smile. ... Kiana silently turned her face away, unmoved by Mo Mo's boasting. "Tsk, it's already time to leave work without realizing it. Looks like it's time to say goodbye to this place." The clock on the wall had already reminded Mo Mo. "See you at school tomorrow... no, Kiana-san." Saying goodbye, Kiana waved weakly at Mo Mo's back. "Wait, senior, wait a minute." "What is it?" Mo Mo pulled back his hand that had been pushing open the door and turned around to ask. ...Will you be free?

35. A new member of St. Freya Academy

"So you've come after all." Under the bright sunshine, Mo Mo breathed in the morning air and stood in front of the gates of St. Freya Academy. However, unlike his previous cautious and furtive approach, this time he stood there openly and proudly, as a newly appointed teacher. [So you're not going to explain what happened last night?] [Explain? What's there to explain?] Mo Mo scratched his head in confusion. [Didn't I just refuse? It's so late, I need to rush home to share the joy of finding a new job with Karen and the others. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk about it later, won't there?] [Sigh!] The system sighed heavily. [If I had hands, I'd smash your gun to pieces with a shovel.] [Hehe, but you don't have hands, so I can't hit you.] Mo Mo was completely unfazed. [Besides, what's the rush here anyway?]

[Go play with your eggs, little brother, nobody cares about you!] Feeling the system's nameless rage, Mo Mo shook his head and walked towards the door. Today was his first day at work, and he couldn't be late like this. Although he was still bragging to Kiana last night, Mo Mo had tossed and turned all night without sleeping well. Because from today onwards, he would become a glorious (intern) teacher. From a distance, Mo Mo forgot about the fiery red figure fluttering at the door. "Good morning, Himeko-sensei." Mo Mo raised his hand and waved to the figure in the distance. Himeko, who had been crossing her arms and impatiently tapping her toes, looked up at the call. After Mo Mo approached, she nodded and said, "Hmm, you're not late. I thought you would definitely be late on your first day at work. Not bad, your work attitude is commendable." "Of course, of course." Mo Mo casually responded twice. Then, "Have you been waiting here for a long time, Teacher Himeko?" "Otherwise, do you think you could even get through this door?" Himeko pointed to the door behind her and smiled playfully. "I couldn't bear to see a colleague being stopped at the door on their first day of work." "I'm not some suspicious person," Mo Mo defended himself. "Who knows? You have to understand that this isn't an ordinary school." Himeko beckoned to Mo Mo. "Alright, come with me." Mo Mo already knew what was going on. The purpose here wasn't to train scholars, but to teach warriors to fight against Yong Huai. Under Himeko's guidance, Mo Mo, this absolute "specialist," walked openly into this place—a forbidden zone for most people.

[I didn't notice it when I came before, but the environment here is actually quite nice.]

Mo Mo looked around, surveying the place where he would be spending a considerable amount of time. It clearly exuded an air of lavish spending. "Don't rush, you'll get tired of it eventually," Himeko suddenly said, noticing Mo Mo's wandering gaze. "I'm just curious what's so special about this academy that trains Valkyries. But for now, I can't see anything particularly special, except for its exceptional luxury." "You'll see when the time comes," Himeko replied. Speaking of which... During this short time, Mo Mo planned to ask Himeko about something, even though the headmaster had asked him to teach some practical classes...

"Teacher... but I have absolutely no idea what to do." "You'll find out when the time comes," Himeko replied again. Mo Mo paused slightly, then asked, "So, Himeko-sensei, where are you taking me now?" "You'll find out when the time comes," Himeko replied. "You're the repeat student Himeko? To... cough cough." Himeko suddenly stopped, turned around, coughed twice, and asked, "Didn't you consider these issues when you agreed to the headmaster's request?" To be honest, at the time it was out of pure enthusiasm [Didn't your all-powerful father teach you how to be a qualified teacher?][It would be even stranger if he had, right? My dad isn't a teacher.] Himeko gave a knowing look, then sighed softly, "That's why I think Theresa's actions were really ill-considered, and I don't know why she made this decision."

"But..." Himeko suddenly changed the subject. "Although our elementary school principal isn't very reliable and is particularly prone to making mistakes, I think her judgment is still trustworthy... I guess." "Is your evaluation of her always this direct?" "More or less." Gone lightly with this somewhat tragic fact, Himeko continued, "So, I believe you can complete the task assigned to you." "That's truly flattering." "In that case, do you think you could..." Faced with Himeko's probing, Mo Mo's expression changed, and he resolutely shook his head. "No! There's absolutely no room for negotiation on that." With a dissatisfied snort, Himeko's expression instantly fell, completely losing any desire to continue arguing with Mo Mo. She turned around and started walking again. "We're going to the training room now." With her back to Mo Mo, Himeko said with a hint of displeasure, "The students are already waiting."

"Right now. There really wasn't any onboarding training. But since this isn't an ordinary academy, there's no need to learn about ordinary teaching methods, right?" While reassuring himself along the way, Mo Mo was unknowingly led to their destination by Himeko. As they approached, a muffled commotion arose, only to suddenly fall silent, replaced by hurried footsteps. "These little brats are pretty quick." Himeko stood at the door, not in a hurry to go in, but instead watching with interest the group of young girls already lined up in formation inside the hall. "You've got a good ear for listening to footsteps." "Alright, go in, say hello to them." Himeko made way for Mo Mo. "Mo Mo-sensei, shouldn't you go in first?" Mo Mo was stunned. "That's how it's always portrayed in anime." "Oh, are you shy?" Himeko smiled playfully. "After all, I have no experience..."

"Don't worry," Himeko patted Momo's shoulder. "I'm here, aren't I?"

Mo Mo patted his cheeks, his expression gradually hardening. "Calm down. Who are you? You've fought countless monsters, remained unfazed before Herrschers, and even the Archbishop of Schicksal was always composed and easygoing. How could you possibly be intimidated by a bunch of students? I'm a teacher; if anyone should be afraid, it should be them being afraid of me. Believe in yourself, Mo Mo. You can do it." "Stop dawdling." Himeko reached behind Mo Mo and gave him a hard push. "Hurry up and get in there."

"Hey!" Caught off guard, Mo Mo stumbled through the doorway. In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on this rather disheveled uninvited guest. Curiosity, doubt, and confusion were all on full display.

A tacit silence also arose between them. In the silent exchange of glances, Mo Mo also spotted three familiar figures among the unfamiliar faces. Compared to the others, these three seemed to have no particular reaction. Shouldn't she at least greet them first? "Well, good morning everyone," Mo Mo tried to make her smile as friendly as possible. "Have you eaten yet?"

The students exchanged bewildered glances, none of them responding. Mo Mo's smile gradually froze on his face. No, he should ask Himeko for help now, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. He turned his pleading gaze toward the door, but to his astonishment, he found that Himeko, who should have been standing there, was nowhere to be seen.

36. New teacher Mo Mo reporting for duty!

The original spot for off-field assistance was now empty. [Oh dear, that girl's not very nice, just sold you out and left like that.] The wise system had already seen through everything. [Looks like she's holding a grudge about what happened before, tsk tsk tsk, getting a hard time on her first day at work, looks like things aren't going to be easy for her.] [I was just protecting my own interests, okay?] Mo Mo angrily withdrew her hand. [And you, why are you so gloating? Are you happy to see me lose face?] I'm happy, it's none of your business.] Mimicking Mo Mo's previous tone, the system now perfectly demonstrated what it means to have your luck change. [Instead of arguing with me, why don't you think about how to handle the current situation first, "Teacher Mo Mo"?] To emphasize, the system even added a stressful word. ...Amidst the lingering unease, Mo Mo turned her face away, forcing a calm and composed demeanor. The girls lined up in a square formation whispered amongst themselves, clearly curious about this young man who had inexplicably appeared in the academy. It was different. Completely different from being on a battlefield. The tension from an enemy could be dispelled simply by beating them down, but rather than letting time slip away in awkward silence, Mo Mo felt it was better to bite the bullet and test the waters first.

An affected cough echoed in the empty stadium. "Everyone, quiet...is that alright?"

Originally intending to display the authority of a teacher, the words that came out were replaced by a tone of negotiation. However, the effect was beyond Mo Mo's expectations. Although the curious gazes remained, the whispers instantly fell silent, and the large hall became quiet. [What an obedient group of students.] Mo Mo was somewhat moved. "Nice to meet you, Valkyries." After a pause, Mo Mo continued, "Some of you may have already heard about me, but let me introduce myself briefly. I'm Mo Mo, the newly appointed teacher who will be in charge of your practical training classes. So you can call me Teacher Mo."

This crucial word caused another uproar in the formation, with curious gazes evolving into astonishment. The reactions of the three most prominent students were particularly striking. Several bolder students began to comment on Mo Mo, their voices hushed, yet some of their words were still audible. "He's actually a teacher?"

"Looks so young." I thought she was a transfer student, like in a novel. "Pretty cute..." Mo Mo considerately gave them time to process this bombshell information. [But aren't there some strange comments mixed in?] [Any? I think they're pretty normal.] The system didn't sense anything strange. "Okay, everyone quiet down." After feeling it was about time, Mo Mo spoke again. The hushed discussion stopped, but the curious gazes were even stronger than before. "Today is our first meeting, but we'll be spending quite a bit of time together, so please feel free to ask Mo Mo for advice in the days to come." Mo Mo, speaking plainly based on intuition, said, "So... where's the class monitor? Who's the class monitor?"

A slightly cool reply rang out, and a figure stepped out from the formation. Her gray hair was tied in a bun and swung behind her; her tall, slender figure exuded an undeniable air of heroism, especially highlighting her least prominent feature.

Of course, Mo Mo could hardly be considered a stranger to her.

Especially in the previous world, there was a brief encounter. Although the battle ended inconclusively due to Yu Duchen, it allowed Mo Mo to experience a glimpse of the strength of these guardians of the Divine Land. Even if it was only a part of it. "I'm the class monitor, Fu Hua. Hello, Teacher Mo," Fu Hua replied expressionlessly and formally, looking more like a teacher than Mo Mo.

"Hello, Fu Hua. As a new teacher, I'm quite unfamiliar with everything here. I hope you can offer some guidance sometimes..." Infected by Fu Hua's tone, even Mo Mo's speech became somewhat erratic. "Ms. Mo, you flatter me. This is my duty as class monitor," Fu Hua nodded expressionlessly. "However... this class should be taught by Ms. Himeko. Where is she now?"

"Should I tell them the truth? That your teacher abandoned me here all by herself just to trick me, and then disappeared somewhere?" "Teacher Himeko... cough, something came up, so she had to leave temporarily." After thinking it over, Mo Mo decided to repay evil with kindness. "Although it's a bit sudden, I should be teaching this class." "I see." A faint light flashed in Fu Hua's eyes. "Then please begin the lesson, Teacher Mo."
