"I know, Yui, Reimu is indeed fine right now."

Now it was Yui's turn to be surprised. She asked, "Dad, what do you know?"

Yui had originally intended to comfort Momo, not expecting her words to have much effect. However, Momo's confident tone surprised Yui.

"As for specifics, I certainly don't know. But the only thing I can say for sure is that Reimu is extremely important right now. Her importance to the entire Gensokyo is directly related to the safety of Gensokyo."

"I originally thought that Yukari Yakumo was desperately trying to stop me because she was afraid that if she found out about Reimu's bad news, she would take her anger out on Gensokyo. But all of this now shows that Yukari Yakumo is more concerned about me not seeing Reimu Hakurei than about me being angry and taking my anger out on Gensokyo."

"Therefore, Reimu Hakurei is extremely important right now. Both her identity and power require Yukari Yakumo to devote all her attention to protecting her. And she is also certain that once Reimu Hakurei sees me, this role will probably be destroyed in an instant."

"By then, Gensokyo will likely face annihilation. Compared to the destruction I might cause, Yukari Yakumo fears that annihilation the most."

Yui nodded. Through Komeiji Satoru, she had also learned a great deal. Connecting all of this, it wasn't difficult to arrive at Momo's conclusion. And this was why Momo breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

As long as you don't receive bad news about Reimu Hakurei, then it means Momo has time.

"However, we cannot relax our guard."

Mo Mo changed the subject, turning to look at Rin Tohsaka. Rin immediately turned her head to look into the distance, pretending not to see Mo Mo. Unfortunately, her swaying ponytail and constantly fidgeting fingers betrayed her sneaky actions.

“I understand, Dad, it’s all for Reimu’s sake. But what should we do now? On the surface... we should stop looking for Reimu and let Yukari Yakumo relax, right?”

"So, what exactly should we do?"

Yui asked Momo a question, and Momo pulled the tray back with one hand, removing anything from between herself and Rin Tohsaka. This action and sound instantly made Rin Tohsaka tense up. She wanted to turn around to see what Momo was planning to do, but she seemed afraid to face him.

"Before that, let's increase our bargaining power... Since Yukari Yakumo is willing to use the entire Gensokyo as my shackles, it doesn't matter if I act recklessly. I'll just go along with her wishes."

Mo Mo smiled and moved slightly closer to Rin Tohsaka, saying, "Starting today, Gensokyo is about to have big news. Let Gensokyo start a great change in preparation for my arrival."

Yui seemed to understand Momo's words, and the voice disappeared from Momo's mind. She entered the Hall of Heroes and began preparations there, ready to support Momo at any moment.

Meanwhile, Momo was also about to begin his own actions. The first thing he needed to do was to make the Hakurei Shrine Maiden of Gensokyo understand her own identity.

……

"What are you going to do?!"

Rin Tohsaka could no longer tolerate Momo's blatant and sneaky behavior.

What does it mean to do something openly and secretly?

Just as Komeiji Satoru said goodbye to the two of them, Tohsaka Rin took the opportunity to escape Momo's embrace and deliberately sat on the other side of the tea tray to keep her distance from Momo.

It wasn't that she disliked or resented Mo Mo. It was simply that everything had come too suddenly, making it difficult for Rin Tohsaka to accept. There's no way around it; whether male or female, anyone would find it hard to accept suddenly seeing their fiancé at their doorstep.

Especially since Rin Tohsaka has lost her memories of the other person, Rin Tohsaka knows that as Reimu Hakurei, she and Momo must have an unbreakable bond.

Therefore, Rin Tohsaka is in a state of confusion.

On one hand, she knew she couldn't show too much resistance, otherwise it would definitely hurt her fiancé Momo's feelings. On the other hand, it was certainly impossible for her to completely accept Momo and embrace him.

Therefore, Rin Tohsaka guessed that she should keep a little distance for the time being, give herself some peace and quiet, and then think carefully about how to get along with Momo next.

Anyway, at least I need to get this damn red on my face off and stop my pounding heart... no, get it back to normal!

Unfortunately, Mo Mo seemed unwilling to give her that opportunity.

Although Mo Mo kept smiling and seemed to be doing nothing, Rin Tohsaka clearly noticed that Mo Mo seemed to be able to move horizontally, getting closer to her millimeter by millimeter.

Rin Hirasaka couldn't show any surprise at this, otherwise wouldn't it prove that she had been secretly watching him all along?

She would never admit to something like that!

If it were just that, it would be fine; at least there's this tea tray between them. In Rin Tohsaka's mind, the tea tray is currently an insurmountable barrier, preventing Momo from truly getting close to her. As long as Momo continues to sneak around like this, at most the two of them will be relatively close, which Rin Tohsaka can accept…

However, it turned out that Rin Tohsaka was far too naive. She completely underestimated Momo's shamelessness. Momo approached the tea tray, and instead of stopping to maintain his composure as Rin had expected, he brazenly dragged the tray away and sat down directly on Rin's shoulder!

It was only then that Rin Tohsaka realized that Mo Mo wasn't sneaking around at all.

He is clearly upright and honest!

Mo Mo must have already discovered that he was spying on her, and then, knowing that Rin Tohsaka wouldn't dare to admit it, he brazenly approached her, leaving Rin unable to make a move.

Otherwise, wouldn't that prove that Rin Tohsaka was spying on her?

In her attempt to maintain her elegance, Rin Tohsaka ended up falling into a ditch instead. Furious and annoyed, she finally lost her composure, turning around and frantically waving her hands at Momo, absolutely refusing to let him approach again.

If Momo gets any closer to her... does that mean he'll hug her again?

That won't do!

It's not that I hate it... it's just that Rin Tohsaka needs to sort out this situation properly and find an elegant solution!

"You, you, you want... No, no, you can't have anything!"

Rin Tohsaka wanted to reject Momo's advances, but couldn't find a good reason. She stammered, finally managing only vague and ambiguous words. At that moment, Rin felt a profound sense of powerlessness. Had she not only lost her power, but also her mind had degenerated?

Damn it... why did she lose her memory?!

If it hasn't been lost... then it must be a happy memory, right?

Unfortunately, Rin Tohsaka, in her panic, was destined to be unable to stop Momo. She felt a heat on her wrist, and when she opened her eyes, she found that her wrist had fallen into Momo's hand.

Her heart, which had just calmed down a little, started pounding again uncontrollably. Shyness and discomfort made Rin Tohsaka subconsciously continue to struggle, but Momo's strength told her that if Momo did not agree, she was destined to be unable to escape Momo's wrist.

However, Momo's forceful actions made Rin Tohsaka feel somewhat uncomfortable. After all, Rin Tohsaka truly had no memories of Momo. Her shyness stemmed not only from finding Momo pleasing to the eye but also largely from the fact that he was her fiancé. This preconceived notion, coupled with the subconscious influence of the entire Gensokyo atmosphere, made Rin Tohsaka reluctantly reject Momo.

This rejection of Mo Mo was also instinctive. Just now, she had been suppressed by Rin Tohsaka's rationality, but now, as Mo Mo grabbed her wrist and approached her little by little, this suppressed instinct gradually began to amplify.

After all, Mo Mo was a complete stranger to her at the moment.

"I can't do anything."

Just as Rin Tohsaka's faint unease amplified rapidly, Mo Mo's calm yet sorrowful voice rang in her ears. Rin, who had been half-closing her eyes, instinctively opened them and saw Mo Mo's earnest face.

Rin Tohsaka immediately understood what Momo was about to say. His words would determine the relationship between the two of them and drastically change their current situation.

It was just a feeling, but it was Rin Tohsaka's intuition as a girl. Rin suddenly tensed up, and the unpleasant feeling in her heart was instantly dispelled by this tension.

What exactly is Momo trying to say?

Should Rin Tohsaka continue her duties as Momo's fiancée, or should she be comforted and told not to worry about losing her memory, or perhaps...?

Or should we just end this relationship, which seems beyond repair?

After all, Rin Tohsaka had lost all her memories, and she and Momo essentially had no past or emotional foundation. Two people without an emotional foundation, even with the title of betrothed, couldn't possibly make any real progress in their relationship.

Rin Tohsaka understood this perfectly well. Regardless of her current mood, simply because of this title, because everyone in Gensokyo accepted them, Rin Tohsaka still wouldn't actually have anything happen between her and Momo. No memories meant no memories, no feelings meant no feelings. A girl being shy and curious when she meets a boy is one thing, but developing a deeper relationship is quite another.

A person who lets others' opinions sway their reason and emotions cannot be considered a member of the Tohsaka family; they have no elegance whatsoever!

Huh, why am I so fixated on the elegance of the Tohsaka family again?

Thinking of this, Rin Tohsaka felt a pang of heartache mixed with nervousness and shyness. After all, in the entire Gensokyo, besides Satoru Komeiji, her fiancé was the only one she could look forward to. What would she do if Momo completely gave up on their relationship because of her amnesia?

"Sorry……"

Rin Tohsaka instinctively began to explain; Momo must have already learned about her situation from Satoru Komeiji. She began to instinctively fear that Momo would just end things like this and then distance himself from her.

It's not that Rin Tohsaka has developed feelings for Momo; it's just that as one of the two people Rin Tohsaka has been looking forward to, losing one of them would be a huge loss for her.

Unfortunately, Rin Tohsaka's apology was destined to be ineffective. If Momo changed his mind simply because of Rin's apology, would he still be Momo?

Noticing that Momo opened his mouth again, Rin Tohsaka subconsciously lowered her head, contemplating escaping from the situation.

On the one hand, she didn't want to get close to Mo Mo just because of the title of fiancé, but on the other hand, she was afraid that her amnesia would turn her fiancé into a complete stranger.

This is Rin Tohsaka's current feeling—a conflicted girlish heart.

"No need to apologize. I will only offer one suggestion. If you agree, please nod, okay?"

Mo Mo's voice made Rin Tohsaka raise her head again. After all, Rin Tohsaka still retained some of the original Rin Tohsaka's personality. She bravely raised her head, determined to face everything head-on no matter what.

"Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

Immediately afterwards, Rin Tohsaka heard something she couldn't believe.

“Let’s start over, Girl meets Boy. From today, right here, let’s start everything from scratch, Rin?”

143. The highest level of revealing armpit shrine maiden outfit.

Rin Tohsaka's eyes were now completely blank.

The moment Momo spoke, she had already considered several possibilities for what Momo might say.

In her view, there are only two possibilities: one is to make her fulfill her obligations as a fiancée, and the other is to end the relationship between the two of them.

It's not surprising at all that she's being asked to fulfill her obligations as Momo's fiancée. Although she's lost her memory, the fact remains that as Reimu Hakurei, she accepts Momo, and everyone else does too. If it weren't for her memory problems, she probably would have already cried tears of joy at Momo's arrival.

Rin Tohsaka knew that, as Reimu Hakurei, she seemed to have been waiting for Momo for a long time.

As for the second possibility, it's not hard to understand. After all, Rin Tohsaka lost her memory and completely forgot her past with Momo, so naturally she wouldn't have any feelings for Momo anymore. In that case, it's perfectly reasonable for Momo to be heartbroken.

Rin Tohsaka still remembers the heartbreaking expression on Momo's face when she first met him and mistook him for Komeiji Satoru's boyfriend.

She hurt Mo Mo so much that it's possible that Mo Mo gave up on the relationship in a fit of anger.

Rin Tohsaka could not accept either of these possibilities. She could neither marry Momo, who had no memory, simply because everyone expected it, nor could she abandon this responsibility just because she had lost her memory.

Moreover... for Rin Tohsaka, Momo's arrival was not only her responsibility, but also a moment for her to fulfill her dream.

The moment Rin Tohsaka's hand was grabbed by Momo, her heart sank. Heartache and inner turmoil made her rational, and she clearly realized that this awkward situation between her and Momo would make their relationship extremely painful.

This dilemma seems to be an unsolvable problem.

With a heavy heart, Rin Tohsaka, who knew very well that she was the one who had caused the problem, had become somewhat self-destructive and decided to accept the punishment from Momo.

But then, Mo Mo actually said that they should start over!

What does starting over mean?

This means that their past has become a thing of the past, and that Momo has chosen to give up the deep feelings they once shared, feelings so profound that Rin Tohsaka was willing to fight against Yukari Yakumo for Momo's sake.

This means that Momo has given up on the pre-marital relationship between the two, even though they could have become the closest of couples if they had taken it one step further.

It also means that Mo Mo forgave Rin Tohsaka, not only not blaming Rin for the struggle and pain caused by losing her memory, but also willing to bear this pain and struggle alone, relieving Rin of the burden and giving her a chance to start over easily.

Rin Tohsaka lost her memories, but her intelligence remained. The moment Momo uttered those words, Rin felt all the pressure on her vanish instantly. Her previously troubled and heavy mood disappeared like dark clouds shattered by sunlight. In its place, she felt an irresistible urge to smile, to burst into laughter.

She no longer needs to worry about the troubles caused by her amnesia, nor does she need to struggle with how to face Mo Mo. All she needs to do is treat Mo Mo as a stranger and get to know him again.

But is this really a good idea?

Rin Tohsaka is definitely not an irresponsible girl. Even if she had such thoughts, they would be corrected by the strong will beneath her proud personality, not to mention the concept of elegance that is already deeply rooted in Rin Tohsaka's values. Therefore, Rin Tohsaka immediately realized that beneath her relaxed appearance, Mo Mo had shouldered all the responsibility and pressure alone.
