Li Mo's first thought was, 'Does that potion count?'
After all, he felt that the white savory essence he had prepared was only a little bit away from completion - at most he would fail three or five more times and he would definitely have a clue.
The second thought that immediately followed was, 'Are Hoshino Ai's photos and posters not counted?'
But if you think about it carefully, it seems normal. After all, there is nothing special about those photos and posters. The reason why the characters in the pictures can move freely is just because of the use of "developing potion". There is no special change in essence.
Furthermore, the developing potion is also a system reward for completing a quest. If photos with developing potions added to them could be considered magic items, then completing the quest would be too complicated. The idea of magic items being able to be mass-produced also feels rather strange...
Incidentally, the developing potion rewarded by the system is actually only one "portion", but this "portion" seems to be comparable to a large oil painting that can take up most of the wall, so even after processing a photo and a poster, there is still a lot of it left in the potion bottle.
In any case, the new task does not seem too difficult. Unlike the previous tasks that required a bit of luck, there should be hope of completing it in the near future.
Just as Li Mo left the student union's warehouse and was about to return to the association's hut, he ran into Yukinoshita Yukino at the corner.
"Why are you here?"
Yukinoshita Yukino first subconsciously took a step back to avoid bumping into the person opposite her, then she immediately realized that it was Li Mo who appeared at the corner, so she frowned and asked.
"Why can't I be here? I don't think anyone at Sobu High School has the surname Yukinoshita."
Li Mo asked back in surprise.
"Didn't you say you had something to do so you asked for leave to go back first?"
Yukinoshita Yukino was already somewhat accustomed to Li Mo's way of speaking, so she just asked quite seriously.
"It's been resolved... well, about halfway resolved? So I came back to make some preparations for the Founder's Festival."
Li Mo glanced out the window as he spoke. The sky outside had completely darkened, and all he could see was a faint golden streak at the horizon where the sun was setting. "What are you doing at school, Yukinoshita, so late at night?"
“…It has nothing to do with you.”
Yukinoshita Yukino said this in a somewhat angrily tone.
"Well, I'm glad I knew something like this would happen."
But Li Mo hummed in triumph. He took out a red armband from somewhere and put it on his arm. On the armband was printed with white fonts "Chicken Bun"... Oh no, it was the words of the Discipline Committee: "Now please honestly explain why you are still in school so late, Yukinoshita classmate~"
"Why do you have such a thing?"
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Li Mo's armband suspiciously. "Fake?"
"No, this is the real thing I asked President Amakusa for."
Li Mo said proudly: "In order to be able to move more conveniently during the Founder's Festival, I have already obtained the status of a temporary discipline committee member from the Student Union!"
"...I'm starting to worry about the future of Sobu High School."
Yukinoshita Yukino held her forehead with one hand and made a groaning sound: "How can someone who always favors a sycophant like you possibly be able to manage Sobu High School well?"
"She stayed out all night, intending to disrupt the Founder's Festival preparations, has a flat chest, and stayed at school with ulterior motives..."
Li Mo pretended to take out a palm-sized notebook and wrote something down, "Now there's also a charge of defamation."
"Putting aside the other false accusations, isn't there a personal attack mixed in? Even if it's just a temporary employee who will be used as a scapegoat if something goes wrong, please be careful not to tarnish the image of Sobu High School's student council."
Yukinoshita Yukino pointed at Li Mo seriously.
After the two men confronted each other for a moment, the tense atmosphere was broken by cheerful music.
Li Mo and Yukinoshita Yukino both looked bewildered for a moment, and then Yukinoshita Yukino hurriedly took out her cell phone. It seemed that was her ringtone.
After looking at the caller ID, the girl pressed the reject button with a complicated expression.
"Won't you answer?"
Li Mo asked curiously.
Just now when the other party unlocked the phone, he had a quicker reaction than an average person and saw the word "sister" displayed on the screen.
But Yukinoshita Yukino's attitude when hanging up the phone was more determined than when she received a sales call.
Could it be that the two sisters don’t have a good relationship?
"It has nothing to do with you."
Yukinoshita Yukino said stiffly. She paused for a moment, as if she was organizing her thoughts, or perhaps thinking about something in her mind, and then continued: "Rather than this kind of thing, since you're back now, why don't we rehearse the skit a little bit?"
Li Mo almost instantly understood that the girl was planning to use this method to justify why she stayed in school so late.
Perhaps because she was not used to this kind of secretive behavior, the girl's attitude was a little strange.
"No, didn't I just say that I haven't finished my work yet..."
Li Mo refused without hesitation.
The girl's expression darkened for a moment, but she quickly recovered while biting her lips stubbornly.
Then Li Mo continued: "But if you are free, you can come and help."
"What's the deal?"
Yukinoshita Yukino asked curiously: "Rather, what are you doing?"
"Of course, it's for the people who will be performing at the Founder's Festival."
Li Mo said casually: "I don't really plan to go on stage with Yui to talk about manzai."
"Who is that?"
Some strange thoughts suddenly popped up in Yukinoshita Yukino's little head: Since Asakura is a magician, the person he invited to perform might be a famous magician who hides in the crowd and uses magic to disguise magic, right?
"A cowardly high school girl who doesn't know how to refuse even when threatened."
"That's a crime, isn't it?"
"This time, you didn't go and tell the teacher without thinking, which is commendable."
Li Mo pretended to clap his hands, his tone somewhat ambiguous.
"No matter what your original intention was, you always did what was good according to common sense. I admit that you are a generally good person in many ways."
Yukinoshita Yukino looks very graceful and elegant.
"So I have diplomatic immunity from the Yukinoshita Kingdom?"
Li Mo's expression brightened.
"No, you have the right to defend yourself before your political rights are deprived for life."
Yukinoshita Yukino spoke slowly and calmly.
"Unfair~ Ah~"
Li Mo pretended to cry.
"Crying also counts as time."
The girl is full of righteousness.
Chapter 204: All my treasures are there!
At the same time, on the other side.
Goto Ichiri sat in the association's hut feeling somewhat uneasy.
When Li Mo was still there, she could have a few words with Hoshino Ai who was hanging on the wall, but after Li Mo left, she found herself at a loss for words.
Damn, my vocabulary is so poor! If I had known I would have paid more attention in Chinese class...
"Little Pochi?"
"Today, the weather is nice...劅" Goto Ichiri's heart trembled, and he sat up straight and spoke loudly nervously.
Now that things have come to this, we can only play the weather deck first!
"Is the weather nice?"
Hoshino Ai was a little confused.
"The sky is clear, the sun is shining, and the air is bright..."
Goto Ichiri stammered.
"But isn't it evening now?"
"Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, autumn is refreshing and the winter is sunny..."
“Why is there no correct season?”
"The wind howled, the ice covered the land for thousands of miles, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked..."
"No, no, no, isn't that too extreme? I understand that Pochi-chan isn't good at chatting, but calm down first. Even though I'm no longer in your body and can't feel your emotions, there's no need to be so nervous around me."
Hoshino Ai comforted her with a mixed feeling.
"I'm sorry, Miss Hoshino..."
Goto Ichiri was dejected.
She obviously didn't want to make the other person worry, but she still messed it up.
After a moment's silence, the pink-haired girl shook her body a little restlessly, tilted her head and looked at the poster carefully, only to find that Hoshino Ai on the poster was looking at the furnishings in the cabin with great interest.
After hesitating for a while, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but ask: "Um... Miss Hoshino, is she still the Miss Hoshino I know?"
"Well, although it always feels a little different, I have most of that me's memories, and her emotions will always remain with me. If you want, Pochi-chan, it's okay to treat me as her meal replacement."
In the poster, Hoshino Ai lowered her head, looked at the girl and said with a smile.
"Come to think of it, I seemed to have said before that after you help me fulfill my wish, Pochi-chan, I will give you my treasure, right?"
"……what."
Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment, then an expression of 'Oh yeah, there is such a thing' appeared on his face.
"But the biggest problem was solved by Asakura-san. Hmm, who should the treasure be left to~"
Hoshino Ai put her finger on her lower lip and gave a naughty smile.
"Well……"
Goto Ichiri looked a little disappointed.
"It seems that little Pochi really wants my treasure?"
Hoshino Ai said with a smile: "Come to think of it, it seems that Pochi has bet his life on Asakura-san? Then the treasure should be given to you, Pochi-san. It would be nice to use it to redeem your life from Asakura-san~"
"Not really."
But to her surprise, Goto Ichiri shook his head and put his hands on his fingertips a little embarrassedly: "I just think that if I can get Miss Hoshino's treasure and give it to Asakura-san... he will definitely be very happy..."
Hoshino Ai carefully observed Goto Ichiri's expression and found that the smile on the latter's face was full of the feeling of a big golden retriever who brought back something great to show off to his owner.
"Don't you want the treasure yourself, Pochi?"
Hoshino Ai asked.
"Eh? But didn't Asakura-san say he would support me for the rest of my life?"
Goto Ichiri blinked her beautiful eyes, filled with innocence untainted by knowledge. "Asakura-san is so amazing. He's sure to become very rich and powerful in the future. In that sense, I'm already a winner in life, right?"
No, that's definitely not what he meant when he said that!
Hoshino Ai looked at Goto Ichiri, who was laughing more and more unruly, and found that the child was not joking but really thought so. She was speechless for a moment.
However, because she felt that it would be fun to continue this misunderstanding, she had no intention of explaining to Goto Ichiri. She just happily supported him: "In that case, if you want my treasure, then go and get it! I put all the treasures I had in my life there!"
She gave an address.
"Now, is the era of great bandits about to begin?"
Goto Ichiri muttered.
"Since only Pochi-chan knows about this, that won't happen."
"Well, that's good..."
Goto Ichiri finally breathed a sigh of relief knowing that there was no one competing.
Just then, there was a slight noise at the door.
Then Li Mo walked in from outside.
He handed the bag containing the guitar to Goto Ichiri: "Follow me, we are moving."
