"It's nothing, I just forcibly kissed her that night during the spacequake!"
"Forced kiss?"
Shiori's voice suddenly grew louder, clearly finding it hard to believe that Mo Li had done such a thing.
Mo Li didn't explain much. Anyway, she hadn't suffered any loss, so let him curse her a couple of times.
Not long after, Kotori took the communication from Mori and instructed Shiori:
"It seems like she shares afternoon tea with a girl she likes once a week, and that's when she'll be aiming for the next one."
"I know. I'll go back first."
"Hmm, I'll also buy some records about Miku Izayoi while I'm at it!"
Shiori nodded, clearly still shocked by Mo Li's forceful kiss and unable to imagine what had happened that night.
At the same time, Shiori decided that she would never reveal that she knew Mo Li, otherwise it would definitely be a scene of carnage.
When she got home, Shiori followed Kotori's advice and bought several records of Miku Izayoi. She also learned about Miku from Hiroto Tonomachi.
The next day, Shiori put on her headphones again and went to Ryudanji Girls' Academy.
At that moment, a group of female students walked out of the academy, looked at Shiori wearing the Raizen High School uniform, and asked:
"What's the matter with you?"
"Um, I ran into Miku at Tiangong Square yesterday."
"My sister's fans? I'm sorry, this is my sister's private time, so..."
"Oh dear, Shiori-san!"
Miku's voice rang out from behind the group. Shiori keenly noticed that after Miku appeared, the girls' gazes changed instantly, as if they were seeing their most admired person.
Shiori was led into the academy by Miku. The two arrived at the reception room, and Miku immediately asked:
"Has Shiori-san found any clues about that person?"
"No, um, I'm here to return Miku's handkerchief."
Shizhi dared not mention anything about Moli and quickly made excuses, saying that she had only come to deliver a handkerchief.
"I'm so glad you went to all the way to the school."
"No, this is what I should do."
"Ah, you're really great. You're the type I've never met before. Shiori, I've got my eye on you. Please transfer to Ryudouji starting tomorrow."
Mei Jiu extended an invitation to Shi Zhi, even offering to waive tuition and accommodation fees.
Shiori was taken aback by the sudden invitation; anyone would have reacted the same way if suddenly asked to transfer schools.
"Wait a minute, how can such a thing be decided all at once?"
Please!
Miku pressed herself against Shiori and whispered something in her ear, secretly using her spiritual power.
However, Shiori has protective items given to her by Mo Li, so this level of charm is clearly not enough to control Shiori.
Shiori turned her head away, trying her best to avoid Miku's gaze, and said:
Even if you say that about me...
"Eh? Shiori-san? Please take off your clothes!"
This was the first time Miku had encountered a girl who was out of her control, so she increased her spiritual energy output once again.
Shiori felt a sudden wave of dizziness, but a refreshing sensation quickly brought her back to her senses, and she refused to welcome it again.
Upon hearing Shiori's words, Miku's expression changed, and she slowly stood up. The only possibility she could think of now was that Shiori might be of the same kind as her.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why humans would be immune to their own spiritual power.
"You really don't listen to me. Are you an elf?"
Chapter 132 Demon King Becomes Prince, A Campus Version of "The Black Knight"
Shiori was visibly taken aback after hearing Miku's words; why did her attitude change so quickly?
Miku walked to the windowsill, turned around, and questioned Shiori:
"No ordinary person could refuse my request. Who exactly are you?"
Faced with Miku's doubts, Shiori was at a loss for words. If she insisted that she was unaware of the situation, Miku probably wouldn't believe her, and her favorability rating might even continue to drop.
Left with no other choice, Kotori had to instruct Shiori to reveal the truth about her ability to seal spirits.
In this situation, simply giving a perfunctory response is not a good approach; overt negotiation and communication may be the most effective solution.
Mo Li nodded in agreement; as long as he didn't reveal his identity, everything was negotiable.
Thinking of this, Shiori stood up, faced Miku directly, and said:
"I am not an elf, nor a magician, I am a human..."
"I'm so sorry, I never expected Shiori to lie."
"However, I possess the power to seal the spirits' spiritual power. Once the spiritual power is sealed, Miku will no longer be attacked by AST and will be able to live a peaceful life here."
After Shiori finished speaking, she looked nervously at Miku, and took a few steps back to prevent her from suddenly attacking.
To everyone's surprise, Miku smiled broadly after hearing this, showing no sign of astonishment, and said:
“I understand, I believe you, but… if your spiritual power is 893, you don’t need 644 seals and 60 seals.”
"why?"
"Why do you think I can live a normal life with my current situation of 697?"
"But Miku, you caused a spacequake in front of Tengu Station, right? Doesn't that mean you weren't able to fully control your power?"
Shiori brought up the train station incident as an example, unaware that this reminded Miku of the insults Mo Li had inflicted on her.
Miku lowered her head, her expression somewhat somber. This was a humiliation she would never forget: her first kiss had been stolen by a stranger, right on her favorite stage.
"Hehehe, you don't need to worry about that. I caused that spacequake on my own. I wanted to go up and sing, so I put in a little effort."
"Is this all the reason you disregarded the lives of so many people? Miku, I hate you."
"Oh? But the more you say that, the more I want you. You want me to want you, Shiori-kun, and then I'll tearfully say that I love you the most, until you say that to me."
"I will absolutely not be one of your people."
Shiori decisively rejected Miku, but this only intensified Miku's possessiveness towards Shiori.
"Then let's have a competition. If Lai Chan High School can win the top prize on the first day of the Tianyang Festival, I will let you seal my spiritual power."
"The Ajafc Festival? This is too advantageous for you."
"Is that so? This is already a concession for me. If Ryudanji wins, Shiori-kun will be mine."
Miku's arrogant attitude completely ignited Shiori's desire to win, and she immediately agreed.
The moment Shiori left Ryudanji Girls' Academy, she was teleported to Fraxinus by Kotori.
Faced with Kotori's angry glare, Shiori seemed a little reserved; she had indeed acted impulsively just now.
But the thought of the women who were manipulated by Miku filled Shiori with pent-up anger that had nowhere to go.
Since things had already developed to this point, Kotori couldn't say anything more, so she could only offer words of comfort:
"Well, since we've accepted it, there's nothing we can do. Now that things have come to this, let's do our best to fight for victory in Ratatosk."
"Kotori, thank you!"
"Hmph, don't worry, Mo Li and I will assist you from the sidelines."
"Hey, don't count me in. I'm not good at performing talents. Kotori, you can do it yourself."
Mo Li waved his hands repeatedly in refusal. He had no desire to go on stage and perform, to be watched like a monkey.
When Qinli saw Mo Li's attitude, she was immediately furious. Who do you think caused all this trouble?
If you hadn't forced a kiss on her, none of this would have happened.
"No, you have to go, Shiori. Have you thought about what program to prepare?"
"No, this suddenly made me think..."
"Sigh, we'll take care of the miscellaneous things for the executive committee member. You should think about how you're going to get on stage first."
"I understand."
Shiori nodded. For now, the only option was to ask Mo Li's subordinates for help.
After hearing about Shiori's plight, Tohka, Nia, and the others all expressed their willingness to help.
Mo Li remained oblivious to everyone else, determined not to go on stage. Even if she starved to death and never came back, she would never agree to Shiori's request.
But that evening, things took a turn for the better. Shiori, along with Tohka, Nia, Yoshino, and the Yamai sisters, came to Moli's room and confronted him directly.
Mo Li frowned as she looked at the ill-intentioned crowd, suddenly feeling a sense of panic.
After hearing Shiori's explanation, Mo Li jumped up and shouted:
"What did you say? You want me to play the prince? Are you kidding me!"
"This is everyone's choice. After voting, Mo Li was unanimously elected as the prince."
"Wait, wait, wait, when was the vote? And also, explain this to me clearly."
Mo Li was still completely bewildered. What was going on? Didn't she say she wouldn't go on stage?
Shiori took out a thick script from the side, handed it to Mo Li, and explained that this performance was a stage play.
Mo Li opened the script with a skeptical attitude; the title, however, was quite impressive: "The Black Knight."
The story of the princess of the Kingdom of Clay being kidnapped by the Demon King, and her fiancé, the prince, overcoming numerous obstacles to defeat the Demon King and rescue the princess from her perilous situation, ultimately living happily ever after.
This absurd development and melodramatic plot made Mo Li break out in a cold sweat.
This script, brimming with chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), made Mo Li turn her head towards Er Ya.
Erya flashed a smile at Mo Li, revealing her pearly white teeth. Mo Li knew then that the script was definitely written by Erya, and that it was written exactly like her own work.
"Why do I have to play a prince? A demon king wouldn't do; that suits my personality much better!"
"No, no, the prince is the male lead, and you're the only boy we have, so..."
Mo Li had reason to suspect that Er Ya did it on purpose, no, it was absolutely intentional.
Was it to get revenge on him for hiding all the alcohol, or was it just Erya's quirky sense of humor?
"I refuse, I will not go on stage to perform."
"Oh dear, young man, would you rather someone else play the prince and then do *that* with your retinue?"
Erya already knew Mo Li's attitude perfectly well, and directly unleashed her ultimate weapon, instantly causing 10,000 points of damage.
Mo Li recalled watching his family and the other men perform from below the stage, and ultimately chose to give in. He glared fiercely at Er Ya, sighed, and said:
"I understand, you're the prince, right? I'll play the role!"
"Great! Then, I'll leave everything to you, Mr. Protagonist!"
Erya, wearing glasses, looked exactly like a director; he seemed to be really into it.
But what happened next was something Mo Li hadn't anticipated. Er Ya said in a solemn tone:
"So, next up is the actress to play the female lead, the princess. Who should we cast?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on Er Ya, as if they were determined to get the role.
The atmosphere tensed up instantly, and Mo Li couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Chapter 133 The Battle for the Princess
Tohka, Yuzuru, Kaguya, Nia, and Yoshino looked at each other without saying a word.
But they all knew in their hearts that this role was the most important goal.
Forcing Mo Li to become the prince was just an appetizer; the female lead was the real target of everyone's attacks.
There was no other reason than that Nia had written a line on a whim in the final script: "The prince awakened the sleeping princess with a kiss."
How could such an opportunity be given to anyone else? This is a battle among family members for status.
