109 The Deal That Wiped Everything

Misaki Shokuhou fell silent.

Unbeknownst to her, Mo Mo's words gradually calmed Misaki Shokuhou down.

There's nothing left to hide.

Mo Mo's few words had already penetrated her entire mind, as if Mo Mo, not Misaki Shokuhou, was the one with the ability to control her mind.

Even after Momo explained it to her, Misaki Shokuhou herself felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. She could manipulate other people's minds, but that didn't mean she could fully understand her own thoughts.

The most unfathomable thing about humankind is always itself.

Faced with Mo Mo's question, she couldn't lie, because Mo Mo could sense her feelings, and now it seemed there was no need to lie anymore.

Momo already knew everything, even more than Misaki Shokuhou herself.

"So what if it is?"

"So, it's time to end this."

Momo's words made Misaki Shokuhou tremble. She took a step forward, but what she saw was Momo's raised hand.

"It's too late to persuade me now, Miss Shokuhou Misaki."

"I've made up my mind."

Mo Mo was still smiling, a gentle smile that was a mask, a mask that pained Misaki Shokuhou.

Misaki Shokuhou no longer knew whether it was Momo who was heartbroken, or herself.

The two women were completely in sync, their feelings a chaotic tangle. Misaki Shokuhou was too lazy to distinguish between them, and too lazy to care about anything in her heart.

Now, she only knows one thing.

It's all really coming to an end...

Mo Mo is serious.

"Why……"

"For no reason."

Mo Mo sighed softly and said, "It's fine if you hate me, but perhaps because of my greed, I could really become a bad person and hold you in my hands."

"But I really can't stand to see you abusing yourself like this."

"Hey, you're Shokuhou Misaki, the Queen of Tokiwadai. You should act like a queen no matter what you do. If you change your appearance because of me, I'll be burned alive by countless FFF guild members."

Mo Mo shook his head and said, "For my future and life, or at least so that I won't die in the flames and be burned to ashes, I think I should let go."

"perhaps……"

Mo Mo reached out her hand towards Misaki Shokuhou from afar. Misaki Shokuhou instinctively reached out her hand, but then abruptly withdrew it.

Seeing this, Mo Mo seemed to have lost her last bit of persistence and said, "It's time to let go, and it's time for Your Majesty to return to your original self."

The clouds in the sky continued to drift, and Mo Mo continued to slowly retreat step by step. The clouds between the two gradually began to obscure each other's figures, making everything unclear.

ended.

Three words echoed in Misaki Shokuhou's mind: It's over just like that. She could put everything in the past behind her and ignore everything about Momo. From now on, she would be the Queen of Tokiwadai again.

She should be happy, she should smile.

She tried to smile, extending two fingers to touch the corners of her mouth, as if trying to pull them up.

However, her thin lips seemed to possess an immense strength, and no matter how hard Misaki Shokuhou pulled, she couldn't lift them.

She should have laughed, but Misaki Shokuhou didn't.

She should be happy, but Misaki Shokuhou was not happy at all.

She should have calmly accepted Momo's suggestion at this point, but Misaki Shokuhou insisted on saying something she didn't want to say.

"What kind of joke are you making now? I can't erase your traces from my life anymore. You're just going to say it's over and walk away?"

Misaki Shokuhou finally laughed, but it was a cold laugh.

"In the end, it's just this kind of trash."

"It's too late to stop me now, Ms. Shokuhou Misaki."

"I didn't try to keep you, I'm cursing you!"

Lying isn't something a good child does!

Misaki Shokuhou's words came to an abrupt halt. Yes, between her and Momo, lying was pointless.

Mo Mo's voice rang out again, saying, "Since I said I would erase everything between us, then I will erase it all."

“I, Momo, am not a braggart, so…”

Misaki Shokuhou wanted to refute Momo, she didn't believe Momo had any means to erase all of this, but at that moment, she suddenly felt a powerful and majestic force.

Trading rights.

The urge to speak out was forcefully suppressed back into one's heart by this power.

"You felt it, didn't you? This is my true power, the power of trading."

"Whether it is tangible or intangible, as long as it meets the three principles of transaction, the transaction can be completed."

Mo Mo's voice seemed to lighten as he said, "Now, Miss Shokuhou Misaki, I'm making a deal with you: to erase all our previous dealings."

Misaki Shokuhou opened her mouth, but a jumble of emotions choked her, leaving her completely clueless about what to say.

Perhaps... it's better if this messy relationship really ends...

This thought came to Misaki Shokuhou's mind.

“Now, I’m making two deals: to buy all the memories between you and me since we met, and the power you took from me.”

After Momo finished speaking, the transaction rights were transmitted truthfully to Misaki Shokuhou. Misaki Shokuhou opened her eyes wide and clearly confirmed Momo's conditions.

Everything went as Momo said. Once she confirmed the deal, she would completely forget Momo, and the power component of Momo in her abilities would be forcibly stripped away by the deal's power. After that, although her abilities might be affected, it was more likely that they would return to normal.

The conditions were absolutely genuine.

"And the conditions you need to pay..."

Momo's voice suddenly became softer, but the terms of the deal still rang clearly in Misaki Shokuhou's ears. Misaki Shokuhou's breathing became rapid, whether because of Momo's terms or because everything was about to return to normal.

"...Is that all the conditions are?"

"Are these conditions still causing you trouble?"

“You can certainly propose… more conditions. Since I’m going to forget everything, even a one-night stand with you is acceptable.”

"NONONO, I'm a responsible man, I would never do something like this, heartlessly taking advantage of someone."

Misaki Shokuhou laughed upon hearing Mo Mo's words, saying, "You heartless bastard, how dare you say such vulgar things in front of me? Aren't you afraid that the Queen of Tokiwadai will take notice of you?"

"What a pity, you've completely forgotten me, haven't you?"

Misaki Shokuhou's smile gradually faded as she said, "Yes, I'm going to forget you completely. All of this is about to end, and it will be over completely."

"Look how happy I am!"

She took a deep breath, calming the throbbing pain in her chest, silently wiped away the things that shouldn't have been in the corner of her eye, and then opened her arms wide.

"I accept the terms of this deal."

"Let all of this... come to an end."

As Misaki Shokuhou's voice faded, the transaction between the two began, and the first to change was Misaki Shokuhou herself.

The dress she wore, made of water mist, began to change, transforming into real white gauze, and then into a noble and mature mermaid-style wedding gown.

The fitted bodice of the wedding dress accentuated Misaki Shokuhou's full bust, while the fishtail skirt highlighted her graceful curves.

At the same time, Momo also appeared. Unlike her previous casual clothes, Momo was now dressed in a pure white tuxedo.

He approached Misaki Shokuhou, knelt on one knee, and said, "Beautiful Queen, as agreed, I have come to invite you to fulfill the conditions and play this childish game with me."

"Yeah, a game of house? How could you even think of that? Are you a three-year-old?"

Misaki Shokuhou's words sounded mocking, but the smile on her lips carried a hint of complexity as she said, "You promised you wouldn't do anything to me, but you just wanted me to put on this wedding dress and play house, just to have a little fun?"

"How stupid are you! I'm about to lose my memory, what use is it for you to keep it?"

Although she said it, Misaki Shokuhou still reached out her hand, and Momo took her hand, stood up, and said, "At least let me keep a memory for a lifetime, okay?"

But then, won't all you be left with is loneliness?

Such a question flashed through Misaki Shokuhou's mind, but she didn't ask it aloud. Instead, she said, "Anyway, it's just a contract. I'll play house with you for an hour, and then it'll all be over."

"It's almost over, so I'll follow your instructions."

Looking at Mo Mo so close to her, Misaki Shokuhou breathed a sigh of relief for the first time. Only now did she realize that she could get along with Mo Mo so calmly.

Well... whatever, anyway, none of this matters anymore.

Everything is coming to an end.

"Then, Cao Qi, may I ask you to dance?"

"Dance?"

Misaki Shokuhou blinked, looked at the misty fog around her, and said with amusement, "Dancing under these conditions?"

"Of course not here."

After saying that, to Misaki Shokuhou's astonishment, Momo pulled her along, and the two of them flew upwards again. Before long, they broke through the clouds and arrived above them.

Everything seemed to brighten up in an instant.

The morning sun wasn't too hot yet, and even though the two of them were high in the air, Misaki Shokuhou felt warm and cozy against it, which perfectly offset the chill brought by the high altitude.

However, Misaki Shokuhou's attention was not on the sun; instead, her eyes were immediately drawn to the vast sea of ​​clouds.

Pure white clouds rolled and flowed under the sunlight, like a pure white ocean, and every wave seemed to affect Misaki Shokuhou's heart.

This place reminded her of a certain place.

In Mo Mo's consciousness, there was that pure white ocean.

"I invite you again, Cao Qi, how about we dance together amidst this sea of ​​clouds?"
