The losers in daily youth have all become witches

"No, I'm not praising you."

Li Mo couldn't help but complain.

"No, it's not a compliment, is it?"

The girl's movements and expression froze.

"Why do you look so surprised? It doesn't sound like a compliment no matter how you listen to it!"

Li Mo said.

Looking at Goto Ichiri who had fallen into a grayish-white decadent state again, he sighed helplessly: "It doesn't matter what happens to Ichiri's self-esteem..."

"Is my self-esteem so unimportant..."

Goto Ichiri looked even more dejected.

"Rather than Ichiri's pride, I'm more curious about why you said that."

Li Mo forced the topic forward: "Is it Xingye Ai who instigated you?"

"W-what?"

Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and shook his head vigorously, "No, it's not like that... Miss Hoshino, I haven't said anything since a while ago... I just... I just felt so sorry for the other person... I'm sorry for causing trouble to Asakura-san..."

"I accept your apology for now."

Li Mo didn't say anything like "Nothing" or "I'm not troubled". Instead, he nodded and said solemnly: "I know you just didn't think much about it, and you were affected by Xingye Ai's emotions, so you said that."

"Have you been affected by... Miss Hoshino's emotions...?"

The girl lowered her eyes, but because of the obstruction of her chest, she couldn't see her toes. She just whispered, "Just now in there... I felt like I was being swept away by invisible waves... I couldn't breathe... I was filled with despair..."

To be honest, Goto Ichiri felt that he was the kind of person who was good at making peace with despair.

The girl was more or less used to feeling hopeless about her future and everything else.

But the despair that surged in Hoshino Ai's heart just now was completely different from the despair that Goto Ichiri felt on a daily basis.

Because of Yili's ordinary despair, it was more of an irreconcilable contradiction between the reality that was difficult for her to move forward and her unattainable ideal. Coupled with the girl's extreme pessimism and inferiority, she pushed herself to the cliff of despair without knowing it. However, this despair was only a thin and one-sided feeling.

But Hoshino Ai is different.

After all, she is dead.

Having lost her life and almost everything, she can only hold on to the straw made of obsession and other emotions. But once the other end of the straw is rotten to the point of breaking, all the obsession and emotions will flow back and form a wave that can swallow up her thoughts and heart.

"So what do you think, Yili?"

Li Mo asked.

"I……"

The girl mustered up the courage to say something, but the words just wouldn't come out. After a long pause, she finally said in frustration, "I don't know..."

"Is that so? Well, that's enough. Don't move. I'll help you exorcise the evil spirit from your body now."

Li Mo didn't say anything more after hearing this, and the flame formed by the magic spell [Candle] jumped at his fingertips.

"that--"

But at this moment, Goto Ichiri suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Mo with some expectation in his eyes, and asked him: "For example, if I also want Asakura-san... to save that child... what should I pay?"

"Yili, think about it carefully. Putting aside the risks involved in the treatment, even if everything goes well and I truly cure the patient's terminal illness, once this matter gets leaked, we will be in almost endless trouble."

Li Mo said seriously: "The price you have to pay for this may be much more than you imagine. Is it really worth it to gamble your life for a stranger and an evil spirit that almost polluted your mind?"

"Gambling on my life..."

Goto Ichiri repeated this sentence foolishly.

"That's right... Let's put it this way."

Li Mo emphasized his tone, trying to make the girl understand the seriousness of the situation: "If you want me to help, then mortgage your entire life to me."

Chapter 194: Dual Spiritual Roots (Something seems wrong.

Mortgage the rest of your life to me.

These words kept echoing in the girl's ears.

She stared at Li Mo blankly.

After a moment, Goto Ichiri stammered and asked in disbelief: "Propose?"

"No, not so much a proposal."

Li Mo touched his chin and corrected himself: "It feels more like a contract of sale."

For some reason, Li Mo always felt that after he said this, the other party not only did not show an embarrassed look, but his eyes became brighter.

"Um...are food and accommodations provided?"

Goto Ichiri asked expectantly, "So after I graduate, can I just stay with Asakura-san and not have to look for a job?"

"Don't have that 'Wow, I found a stable job, great!' look on your face!"

Li Mo, feeling somewhat amused by the girl's train of thought, thought for a moment before continuing, "Although providing food and lodging is fine, on the other hand, if I ask you to wear a bunny girl outfit or a swimsuit and perform a guitar solo somewhere, you won't be able to refuse."

"Woo..."

After hearing what Li Mo said, the girl shrank back a little.

Seeing this, Li Mo said with satisfaction: "In this case, you still want me to take action..."

"First, how many times a week do you have to perform? Winter, in winter, can you wear an extra scarf?"

Goto Ichiri asked through gritted teeth as if he had made up his mind.

No, sister, are you really planning on relying on me? As long as your past is bad enough, no matter how bad the future is, it will be a period of improvement, right?

Li Mo held his forehead and sighed helplessly, feeling even more powerless.

But since Goto Ichiri has said this...

Li Mo thought for a moment, then cleared his throat with a cough: "Okay, but as you know, people like us don't like to have idle people around us, so we still need a small test."

"what?"

Goto Ichiri sat upright on the stairs.

"follow me."

Li Mo brought the girl to the hospital parking lot.

Goto Ichiri spotted Li Mo's magic car among the cars in the parking lot at a glance - it was nothing but a piece of junk.

Compared with the cars around it, Li Mo's Ford classic car does have the feel of an antique car.

Coming to the car, Li Mo took out the car key and pressed it.

The car didn't respond at all.

So he kicked the tire, and the magic car made two perfunctory "beep" sounds.

For some reason, Goto Ichiri felt that what he was facing was not an industrial product like a car, but a large living animal. If he had to make an analogy, it would probably be a cat or something?

Li Mo naturally didn't know what the girl was thinking. He just opened the trunk and took out a very old pointed wizard hat.

That was the Sorting Hat that Li Mo picked up from Wen Shui's house on the way.

Because people would occasionally pass by the parking lot, Li Mo took the girl into the back seat of the magic car.

Because of the Traceless Stretching Spell solidified inside the car, the space inside is much more spacious than it appears from the outside.

Following Li Mo's instructions, Goto Ichiri put the hat on his head.

After a moment, the hat began to move, and then a strange voice sounded in the girl's mind.

"Wow, look what I found, a fresh little wizard."

"Brain, there's another voice in my head!"

Goto Ichiri was so scared that he almost jumped out of the seat and hit the hood.

"Don't make a fuss. It's just an ordinary magical item. By the way, why is there the word 'again'..."

Li Mo said calmly, and at the same time stopped the girl from trying to pull the hat off her head and throw it out of the car window: "This is used to test whether you have magical talent."

In fact, there is no need for identification. When the Sorting Hat started talking, it meant that there was indeed magic power in Goto Ichiri's body, and the rest was just a matter of magnitude - the incident with Onsui Kazuhiko on Kumotori Mountain was a special case. At that time, the Sorting Hat used the magic power it had plucked from Napoleon, who had not yet turned into a puppy snake.

Li Mo nodded with satisfaction.

Of course, he didn't come up with the idea of ​​asking girls to sort the houses on a whim. Before Goto Ichiri, although Li Mo could occasionally see some ghosts on the road, those things were rare in themselves, let alone possessing other people.

So he thought that Goto Ichiri's physique must be quite special, and she might be a witch, so he brought her to the branch school.

Now it seems that he was not wrong.

"Courage... only a little bit; self-confidence and pride... incredible, none at all; wisdom... well, let's talk about something more relaxing; loyalty... very good, and perseverance is not lacking either... then there will be no problem."

This time, the Sorting Hat didn't hesitate for too long. Just seconds after Goto Ichiri put it on, it said loudly: "Hufflepuff—! I think so too."

Li Mo raised his eyebrows.

The result was not unexpected. Including Yuigahama Yui and Numizu Yoshiki, three people have received the Hufflepuff's Divine Protection.

"What does this mean? What's the result?"

Goto Ichiri asked Li Mo nervously: "Is it my illusion that I am mistaken for a fool because of a hat?"

But before Li Mo could answer, the Sorting Hat continued: "You have a lot of courage... or rather, a bit too much, to the point of being almost reckless without thinking; you have things you want to pursue, but because you lack sufficient wisdom, you get the means and goals wrong; you are not very honest, or lies have become your bones and blood, but fortunately, they are all gone now; oh, Merlin... the empty-headed little fellow always has more extreme thoughts. If he were not so reckless, he could be considered a little lion. Now... there is not much to say, Slytherin——!"

Li Mo was stunned.

The same person cannot obtain two different kinds of protection.

Although the Sorting Hat sounds a bit old, it is a magical item and will not become confused.

In this case, the reason for the second Sorting Protection is most likely that the Sorting Hat identified Hoshino Aiya in Goto Ichiri's body as an individual who needs to be sorted.

But do ghosts of the dead also have magical powers? Or is their very existence connected to magic? No, if you think about it, the Sorting Hat is still on Goto Ichiri's head. Does that mean when it detects Hoshino Ai's magic, it still recognizes Goto Ichiri's magic as hers?

"Well, that... I feel like I've been told a lot of unpleasant things..."

Goto Ichiri's expression looked even more nervous, and his worried features almost popped out of his face.

"It's okay, this guy is like this, he likes to judge people."

Li Mo took the Sorting Hat off the girl's head. The latter was still chattering in his hand, but Li Mo completely ignored her and stuffed it back into the trunk.

After doing all this, he looked back at Goto Ichiri and said excitedly: "Since you have passed the review, Ichiri, from today on, you are a new member of our magic club."

Chapter 195: Encouraging people to study medicine.

"Magic Society..."

Upon hearing this, Goto Ichiri showed a hesitant look: "It feels... a bit like the villain organization in the anime..."

"Hehehe, it's too late to quit now."

Li Mo also cooperated and smiled as if his evil plan had succeeded.

Goto Ichiri covered his head with his hands, looking as if he had a headache.

"Just kidding. It's essentially just an organization similar to a tea party. The purpose of its establishment is simply to gather people with magical talents in the surrounding area to deal with possible supernatural events."

Li Mo felt that Goto Ichiri was probably scared by him, so he put away the smile of an elder villain and explained to the girl.

"Ah, no..."

Goto Ichiri awkwardly released his hand from covering his head. "As long as I don't have to work... I don't care what organization I join... It's just that Ms. Hoshino was talking a little loudly just now."

Li Mo carefully observed the girl's expression and confirmed that she was still Goto Ichiri. Nothing was wrong with her. She was just frightened by Hoshino Ai's sudden words.

After all, Goto Ichiri had said before that she and Hoshino Ai shared senses to a certain extent, which means that Hoshino Ai saw and heard everything that was said and the situation just now, so she couldn't help but want to urge Goto Ichiri.

"It seems that person can't wait any longer. Let's go finish what we need to do and we can talk about the rest later."

Li Mo reached out and rubbed Goto Ichiri's head, comforting the somewhat nervous girl, and then took her back into the hospital.

Although Li Mo still had the urge to burn Hoshino Ai directly, since he had promised Goto Ichiri to treat the little girl, even if it was just a by-product, he could fulfill Hoshino Ai's obsession. If the other party still had no intention of "ascending to heaven" after this, it would not be too late to grab her and refine her in an instant.

"that……"
