Rin Tohsaka has lost her memory, forgotten Mo Mo, forgotten those feelings. But none of that matters; Mo Mo has chosen not to care. However, Rin knows that every action, every glance, every word she utters could become a knife, piercing Mo Mo's fragile heart.

Is his heart trembling as he stands before the boy smiling gently?

Rin Tohsaka instinctively opened her mouth, wanting to refuse Momo's offer. She couldn't tolerate this despicable behavior—allowing herself to reap all the benefits while leaving Momo with all the responsibility and obligation, especially since Momo was the victim.

However, when Rin Tohsaka opened her mouth, it sounded hoarse. She had underestimated the baseness of human nature and her own cowardice. She wanted to refuse Momo, but her instincts wouldn't allow her to utter the word.

The reason is simple: such advice would be entirely beneficial to Rin Tohsaka.

Since the suggestion came from Momo, Rin Tohsaka, having lost her memory, wouldn't bear any responsibility or be held accountable for Momo's sadness. She could even adopt a completely indifferent attitude, as if she were seeing Momo again. The rapidly releasing pressure in her heart wouldn't allow Rin Tohsaka to utter a word of refusal.

This is human instinct—to seek advantage and avoid harm. This pursuit of advantage and avoidance of harm refers not only to material gains and losses, but also to spiritual ones. Rin Tohsaka is currently exercising her instinct, and all of this is perfectly understandable.

But Rin Tohsaka's pride wouldn't allow her to accept her own baseness, at least... she couldn't fully accept it.

"I refuse..."

Rin Tohsaka ultimately struggled to refuse, not because she disagreed with Momo's decision, but because she felt that as the person involved, she also had to do something, and Momo shouldn't have to bear all the burden alone. Especially as the person in charge, she shouldn't simply shift all the responsibility onto Momo.

However, Momo swiftly raised a finger and placed it between Rin Tohsaka's lips. The touch of finger and lips, the interaction between skin and skin, sent a jolt through Rin Tohsaka, her heart skipping a beat. Then came the frantic rush of blood and heartbeat.

Rin Tohsaka had never even imagined such an intimate gesture. Even if she had, the mere thought of it would make her blush with embarrassment. How could she possibly allow a strange boy to make such a suggestive gesture towards her?

At this moment, Rin Tohsaka didn't reject Mo Mo's intimate gesture. The words she wanted to say were swallowed back by Mo Mo, and even her breath seemed to be suppressed. Rin dared not make the slightest movement, much less allow her lips to tremble even a little, otherwise…

"You have no right to refuse."

Mo Mo was still smiling when he said, "I understand your thoughts, I understand your desire to do something, and I know that your competitiveness and pride will not allow you to do nothing."

Listening to Mo Mo's words, Rin Tohsaka gradually relaxed. She looked into Mo Mo's eyes, gazing into his seemingly luminous pupils, and felt the familiarity Mo Mo had for her.

It was a gaze that knew her intimately, from head to toe, from the past to the future, down to every single detail.

Just now, Rin Tohsaka felt a little uncomfortable facing such a gaze, but now Momo's finger seemed to have magic, or perhaps this intimate contact had become a channel for the two to deepen their understanding, making Rin Tohsaka gradually get used to Momo's gaze.

After all, isn't it only natural that Mo Mo is familiar with her, even completely familiar with her from head to toe?

"Indeed, given the current situation, you should do something to make amends to me. But I don't want the past to haunt us anymore. Since the past is a mess that's hard to describe, why don't we start over from now on?"

“I understand your desire to make amends and take responsibility, but that’s precisely why you should listen to me, right? Now I’m the one making a request of you. Are you going to refuse this request I’m making?”

Rin Tohsaka was stunned again. She looked at Mo Mo with a sly smile in her eyes and immediately understood that Mo Mo wanted to use her guilt to make her agree to his request.

Logically, all of this seems perfectly reasonable. Since Rin Tohsaka wants to do something to Mo Mo out of guilt, then if Mo Mo wants to do what Rin Tohsaka did, and Rin Tohsaka agrees, wouldn't that be compensating Mo Mo?

However, what Mo Mo asked Rin to do only amplified Rin's guilt. Even though she had already stooped so low as to do nothing and forget everything, the boy in front of her was still thinking of her in everything.

How could Rin Tohsaka, who was already feeling uneasy, possibly accept this?

The mischievous glint in those gleaming eyes seemed so warm at that moment, so warm that it felt as if Rin Tohsaka's heart had melted. She really wanted to do nothing, care about nothing, like a carefree little girl, and completely obey Mo Mo's words.

But Rin Tohsaka wasn't an ordinary little girl. Even though she had lost her memory, she was still much more assertive than the average girl. Therefore, she still had to struggle a bit and couldn't just accept Mo Mo's suggestion.

Before she could even open her mouth, Momo placed another finger on her lips. Now, one finger was enough to make Rin's heart race, but with another, the seal on her lips became much thicker, making it even harder for her to speak.

Rin Tohsaka looked at Mo Mo with some annoyance. Since Mo Mo had acted this way, he naturally understood her intentions. But wasn't Mo Mo's refusal to speak to her a breach of her opinion?

At that moment, Rin Tohsaka wondered if she should struggle a bit and argue with Momo. Although she didn't want to do it from the bottom of her heart, she was even more unwilling to be a woman who did nothing and left all the responsibility to her man.

However, the impulse in Rin Tohsaka's heart was shattered by the tenderness that flickered in Mo Mo's eyes again, and then turned into a warm liquid that spread all over Rin Tohsaka's body, warming and nourishing her mind and body.

Why should we be so calculating with each other?

Rin Tohsaka seemed to be touched by Mo Mo's gentle words; her eyes softened, and a tender smile appeared on her lips. The feelings she still harbored—wanting to share responsibility with Mo Mo and wanting to make amends—were suppressed by this gentleness.

Yes... This sense of responsibility and pride can be shown to strangers and even friends and partners. However, when facing the closest people, to family, all of this becomes a burden that prevents family members from becoming closer.

In front of your closest people, you can show them your most natural and authentic self without reservation, even revealing your weaknesses and baseness to them, so that they can help you heal your wounds. Isn't that happiness for a person?

Rin Tohsaka has no memories of her past with Momo, but at this moment, she feels that happiness is right before her eyes. She doesn't need to worry about the gains and losses between her and Momo, she can completely trust Momo, and even let Momo know about her despicable and helpless state.

And Mo Mo will always smile gently and soothe her wounds.

Faced with Momo's gentleness and this happiness within reach, Rin Tohsaka, who was transformed into Reimu Hakurei in Gensokyo, simply could not refuse, because this was what she longed for most, what her whole being craved.

Thinking of this, Rin Tohsaka stopped struggling and instead savored the warmth of Momo on her lips, feeling happiness approaching.

She subconsciously extended her index finger and pressed it against Mo Mo's lips, gently stroking the corner of her mouth. Mo Mo's heartbeat traveled through Rin's index finger to her own heart. At that moment, Rin felt that Mo Mo was so real, so close to her.

"I think... I understand why I fell in love with you in the past."

Rin Tohsaka murmured softly, "It must have been when I was at my loneliest and most helpless, when I was forcing a smile and no one noticed, that you so rudely barged into my heart, then forcefully left your mark, and at the same time did not allow me any refusal."

"Is that so?"

Mo Mo spoke softly, opened his mouth, and to Rin Tohsaka's astonishment, he pressed his lips to the knuckles of her index finger, gave it a light kiss, and said, "So what about now? I told you, Rin, let's not worry about the past. What we should focus on is the present. Let's start from now."

"Am I now, sometimes just like you, entering your heart?"

Rin Tohsaka's breath caught in her throat. She stared blankly as Mo Mo kissed her fingers, feeling the alluring warmth and moisture on her fingertips. She even had an urge to add another finger, make it thicker and bigger, and then penetrate Mo Mo's mouth.

However, Rin Tohsaka immediately realized that this intimacy seemed to have gone a bit too far. She trembled as she withdrew her hand, turned to face the courtyard, sat up stiffly, and said breathlessly, "I... I don't know. And... I... I just agreed, didn't I?"

"From today onwards, I'll treat this as a fresh start. This is our first meeting; the boy has met the girl."

Upon hearing this, Mo Mo smiled readily and said, "Then, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Mo Mo. Next, it's your turn, beautiful witch. May I ask your name?"

As she spoke, Momo raised her arm high, as if performing some kind of ritual, or perhaps some novel way of greeting.

Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka was a little confused, but she also raised her arm like Momo and said, "My name is Reimu Hakurei... Huh, where are you looking?"

It was only then that Rin Tohsaka realized that something seemed amiss.

She looked down following Mo Mo's gaze, only to discover that she was wearing a shrine maiden outfit with exposed armpits, facing Mo Mo sideways. Especially now, with her arms raised high, creating enough gaps in the shrine maiden outfit, what kind of scene would Mo Mo see?

144 The familiar scenery is still beautiful

Rin Tohsaka is the most qualified to speak on the "advantages" of revealing armpits in a shrine maiden outfit.

When she woke up, she realized that she was Reimu Hakurei, the shrine maiden who protected the order of Gensokyo. Although somewhat confused, Rin Tohsaka did not choose to resist when everyone told her this fact, since even she herself believed it to be true.

While everything in her dream felt wonderful, the vagueness of the dream couldn't serve as a basis for Rin Tohsaka to fight against the entire world. In terms of personality, Reimu Hakurei wasn't a dreamer, but a pragmatist; she wouldn't risk everything to fight against or pursue something so vague.

Rin Tohsaka quickly accepted the fact that she was Reimu Hakurei and began to try to walk the path that Reimu Hakurei should take. She knew that the path ahead would be very difficult, but what Rin Tohsaka never expected was that the difficult path to becoming Reimu Hakurei would begin with this shrine maiden outfit that exposed her armpits.

This shrine maiden outfit with exposed armpits... what is that?!

Why would clothes like this exist?

What was the designer's mindset when creating this design?

Shouldn't a shrine maiden's outfit be dignified and elegant?

The shrine maiden outfit that Rin Tohsaka held in her hand had no sleeves, revealing large areas of skin on her shoulders and underarms. Even by gently pulling up the fabric, one could peek deep into the curves and allure of her body through the small gaps.

This strengthened Rin Tohsaka's belief that this kind of clothing was designed with some kind of wicked intention from the very beginning!

However, Rin Tohsaka had no choice but to wear such clothes, since this was the only outfit she had, and as a shrine maiden, it seemed that this was the only style of shrine maiden outfit in the entire Gensokyo.

She had considered having some clothes made in a place like the Human Village to satisfy her taste, but the Human Village refused her entry, treating her like a monster. After being kicked out several times, Reimu Hakurei had completely given up on communicating with those people.

Since Komeiji Satori can take care of her meals, she doesn't need to lower herself to beg for the approval of the humans in the Human Village. After all, almost everyone in Gensokyo fears her, so a few from the Human Village won't make a difference.

So be it, the shrine maiden outfit with exposed armpits is fine. Rin Tohsaka, having understood the situation in Gensokyo, knew that there were practically no men in the entire Gensokyo, so she didn't have anything to worry about. Later, she discovered that very few people came to her Hakurei Shrine throughout the year. Let alone wearing an armpit-exposing shrine maiden outfit, even if she were to run around naked, it would probably take her ten days or half a month to be discovered.

The first person to discover it was most likely Komeiji Satoru.

Therefore, Rin Tohsaka quickly got used to the ill-intentioned design of her exposed armpit shrine maiden outfit, and gradually stopped worrying about accidentally revealing herself. After all, even if she did, no one would see!

This is also why Rin Tohsaka has thrown away her chest binder.

Uh, you're asking why Rin Tohsaka threw away her corset?

The reason is very simple!

Although she had lost her memory, Rin Tohsaka, with that vague recollection, naturally knew about bras. After all, she wasn't Reimu Hakurei, and didn't share Reimu's concepts and mindset. From both a mood and comfort perspective, Rin Tohsaka herself didn't like things like corsets.

Unfortunately, it's not there. Rin Tohsaka can't even enter the Human Village. Even if she could, she would regretfully discover that bras don't exist there.

Helpless and powerless, Rin Tohsaka could only continue wearing her bra, enduring the dual torment of her mind and body. After all, she couldn't bring herself to go braless... at least not in the short term.

But as time went on, Rin Tohsaka found that her life was always terribly monotonous. No one came to talk to her, and she lived alone at the Hakurei Shrine.

All of this made her realize that she was just a person. No matter what she did, she would always be alone. Even if she tried to maintain a dignified and elegant image, no one would care; even if she didn't care about her image and was lazy and sloppy, no one would criticize her.

Humans are inherently lazy, especially when it comes to things like a breast binder, which isn't just about Rin Tohsaka's psychological dignity, but also her physical comfort. So, quite naturally, on a day with pleasant weather, Rin Tohsaka, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, removed her breast binder, freeing herself from the constraints of her surroundings.

In this way, the whole world seems to become more comfortable.

The air became fresh, her body felt relaxed, and her breathing became natural and comfortable. Her body felt liberated, and Rin Tohsaka seemed to have opened up a new world, lingering there contentedly, unwilling to return to the old world that bound her so tightly.

As for Rin Tohsaka's unease, it disappeared as she continued her monotonous life alone. After all, Rin Tohsaka was just a person. If she couldn't take care of herself, couldn't make herself comfortable, and didn't care about herself, wouldn't that be too tragic?

Rin Tohsaka, having entered this new world, was completely unstoppable. Her bra strap was buried deep at the bottom of the wardrobe, almost to the point that she labeled it trash and threw it away. Rin gradually grew accustomed to and even fond of this feeling of being in a free new world, savoring the sensations of her clothes gently caressing her and the breeze kissing her.

Habits become second nature, and Rin Tohsaka, having developed this habit, had forgotten that she should wear a bra. Even today, when she saw Momo, she didn't remember that she was dressed lightly.

This gave Momo a considerable benefit.

Momo had never imagined that Reimu Hakurei's imposing presence could be so pleasant and delightful. A gentle breeze rustled Rin Tohsaka's exposed armpit shrine maiden outfit, causing it to sway gently like tiny waves, and allowing sunlight to filter through, making the scenery beneath her clothes appear and disappear.

Mo Mo had already noticed this scene the moment Rin Tohsaka turned away, avoiding Mo Mo's gaze, while Mo Mo maintained a constant smile as she looked at Rin. Rin Tohsaka's figure was undeniably somewhat lacking, but this did not detract from her beauty.

With his superior vision as a Heroic Spirit, Momo could take in the beautiful curves of Rin Tohsaka's face. He especially admired how the size and brightness of the red sun on the beautiful, curved hillside changed constantly as Rin's emotions shifted, allowing Momo to truly feel the joyful emotions in the girl's heart.

I am as beautiful as a painting!

"You, you, you, you, you!"

Rin Tohsaka abruptly pulled her raised hand back and covered her chest, no longer daring to turn to face Mo Mo. Instead, she faced Mo Mo with a flushed face, too excited to speak.

How could there be such a shameless person!

Rin Tohsaka was just wondering what Momo was looking at with a constant smile as he stared at her from the side. She had initially been secretly pleased, thinking that Momo was admiring the beauty of her profile and that her charm made him never tire of looking at her.

But it turned out that Momo was indeed admiring her charm, and her charm was indeed something Momo could never tire of looking at. Unfortunately, the part of her that Momo admired was something that Rin Tohsaka couldn't accept for a while.

How can that place be shown to just anyone?

How could you just look at someone's private parts like that!

Don't you have any shame?! Even if you saw it... you could at least pretend you didn't see it, or be a gentleman and quietly remind me, right? But Mo Mo did nothing wrong, yet he secretly kept admiring it all by himself. How could Rin Tohsaka accept that?

Feeling as if Mo Mo had seen through everything about her, Rin Tohsaka felt a surge of displeasure. Her expectations of Mo Mo had been beautiful and idealistic, after all, Mo Mo represented poetry and a beautiful future. But now that Mo Mo was beside her, he was... a jerk who kept staring at her...?

Thinking of this, Rin Tohsaka felt as if she were falling into an abyss, her heart empty and her eyes stinging. She suddenly raised her hand again, about to slap the man's face.
