Originally, this stone house had no windows, and the only light source was the faint fluorescence of a substance similar to luminous moss on the ground and walls. This gave the whole house a gloomy and cold feeling, and it was more like a dungeon than a normal room.
But at this moment, the presence of the Great Blessing filled the entire room with a pale golden light, and images of holiness and warmth overflowed from every ray of light in the air, completely dispelling the previous gloom and coldness.
Even if he did nothing and just quietly bathed in the light, Li Mo felt that his heart seemed to calm down a little. The warm feeling even gave him the illusion that he was taking a hot spring bath, as if the new sense of comfort seeped from his skin to every part of his body.
only……
"...My magic power hasn't increased."
It seems that it can no longer be used as a battery replenishment magic.
Li Mo was slightly disappointed.
Today he replenished his magic power by absorbing the magic power that Gokou Ruri applied to the doll, but to be honest, the efficiency was quite poor.
The units are still based on yesterday's magic counting method. Yesterday, just by having the wound licked, more than 500 units of magic were absorbed. However, after working hard for more than an hour today, the total amount of magic obtained was less than 10 units.
As expected, contact with body fluids (mucous membranes) is the best way to replenish magic power.
Unfortunately, I only have one power bank, Gogen Ruri, now. If I had more power banks, maybe charging wouldn’t be so difficult.
At this time, he found that the words "Special Room: Not Enabled" on the system panel had now become "Special Room: Blessing Round Table". It seemed that the existence of the Great Blessing had been recognized.
"When the association's membership increases in the future, it can be used as a meeting room."
Li Mo muttered as he left the Blessing Round Table Room because it was too comfortable to stay in there, just like snuggling in bed on a winter morning. It gave him a sense of warmth and satisfaction from the bottom of his heart. He was afraid that if he stayed too long, he would not be willing to leave.
Before going home, Li Mo went to the station and some other places where there were ghost stories, but unfortunately he found nothing after wandering around until late at night.
The next day.
"Huh..." Li Mo yawned loudly while walking in the corridor.
"I wanted to ask you this in class today. Didn't you sleep last night?" Yanami asked curiously.
Because Li Mo said, "Today I will take you to see our club's activity room," she followed him happily.
But from Li Mo's perspective, this guy wasn't so much happy about having a place to conduct club activities as he was happy about having a place to eat snacks openly on campus...
Without waiting for Li Mo to answer, the girl held her fair forehead and stopped Li Mo who was about to speak: "Don't say it... I know boys have a lot of secrets. I heard that you use more toilet paper than us girls. After all, you are in adolescence... Huh?!"
Before she could finish her pretentious words, Li Mo interrupted her conjecture with a knife: "Don't say such stupid things, I just went out for a night stroll. Have you seen Qianye at 4 am?"
"Ling, 4 o'clock in the morning...you are still awake that late?" the girl said in shock.
"I haven't seen it either." Li Mo said.
"Hey!"
"Ah, here we are." Li Mo stopped and said, holding back Yanaijian who was about to rush up and attack with his fierce little fists.
Seeing this, Yanai angrily stopped attacking and said in a completely unthreatening tone: "You're lucky to have saved your life!"
"Guys who say that will almost certainly get beaten to pieces the next time they appear on the stage." Li Mo said nonchalantly.
"Gu..."
The girl made a sound like a princess knight, and then her eyes fell on the doorplate: "Service... Department?"
After his pupils trembled, Yanaijian immediately took a big step back, protecting his chest with both hands, and said fiercely: "My pure nice body with a graceful figure is not something that anyone can offer!"
"Nicebody and graceful body are duplicated." Li Mo said calmly: "Also, don't take advantage of the chaos to add strange settings to yourself."
"That's not the point!" the girl complained.
"Don't worry, the Service Club has nothing to do with our Chiba Magic Society. It's a club founded by someone else. We just had to temporarily share the same activity room with the Service Club due to some unexpected circumstances."
Li Mo said seriously.
"I don't think Asakura-kun should say such things." Suddenly, the door to the Service Club opened from the inside, and a young girl with beautiful long black hair appeared in awe. "We in the Service Club are the victims."
"He showed up. This guy is the head of the service club." Li Mo whispered to Yanami in a voice that Yukinoshita Yukino could just hear.
Yana's originally surprised expression after seeing Yukinoshita suddenly turned into surprise.
"The Service Club doesn't imply any sexual or improper relationships." Seeing the other person's expression, Yukinoshita Yukino naturally knew that she was distracted, so she explained with a cold face: "We are just trying to meet the needs of others..."
As a result, Yanami's expression became even more meaningful.
Chapter 24: Risking Life to Eat Pufferfish
Yukinoshita Yukino should be a rather cold and even aloof person - at least on the surface.
Even if someone says bad things about me, I don't care. It's not that I'm timid and cowardly and don't dare to care, but I really don't care about the person who spreads the rumors.
In the words of some men in her class, "It feels like she's looking at me not as a human being, haha, but as a water flea. 'Huff, huff, great, give me that contemptuous look more often!'"
...I feel like I can subtly understand why girls usually look so indifferent.
But maybe it was the silly Yanami's unique quality that could make people crazy, or maybe it was simply because her expression was too weird, so that Yukinoshita Yukino let go of her usual reserve and explained to her in a very oppressive manner what the so-called Service Club was, almost in a wall-banging position.
"Isn't that the Yorozuya?"
Yana nodded with an expression of 'understanding'.
"Specifically, they are quite different. Rather than 'giving a man a fish,' the Ministry of Service focuses more on 'teaching a man how to fish.'"
Yukinoshita Yukino corrected again.
"I see. So, instead of just buying grilled fish, why not teach them how to catch and grill it themselves?" Yana said with a firm tone when she saw Xingcai with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Theoretically, the former is more normal in modern society," Li Mo complained.
"I prefer sashimi, preferably big belly."
Yanai seemed to be tired of this topic and started mumbling while lying on the table.
"The moment you lost interest in the Service Club, you gave in to your own desires? What a terrifying guy..."
"What is the basis for your selection of members?" Yukinoshita looked at Li Mo with a tired look and asked, "Is it easy to control someone with an empty mind?"
"At least it's better than a service department consisting of the minister, deputy minister, secretary and chores with only one person in total, don't you think?" Li Mo responded leisurely.
"It is my principle to prefer to have nothing than to have someone of poor quality. I have my own criteria for selecting members." Yukinoshita Yukino said proudly with her white chin raised.
"What criteria? Dead fish eyes?"
"I think it's unethical to mock someone's physical condition."
The girl obviously didn't understand Li Mo's joke. She just thought he was mocking her for not sleeping well in the past two days and having slight dark circles under her eyes.
At this moment, the door of the activity room was opened from the outside, and a girl with pink hair and a bun poked her head in. After noticing the tense situation between Li Mo and Yukinoshita Yukino, she couldn't help but look a little embarrassed: "Um...how about I come back later?"
"Need not."
Yukinoshita Yukino immediately returned to her original seat, maintaining her usual stern and demure demeanor. "The other two are just idlers. I'm the only one in the service department. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"If you encounter a ghost or other supernatural events, you can tell our Chiba Magic Society. That's our home ground." Li Mo added.
"Eh, shouldn't it be called the Supernatural Department or the Spiritual Department?" the pink-haired girl asked in surprise.
Yana saw Xingcai also looking at Li Mo with a look that said, "See, I told you your name is too weird." However, the latter turned his head slightly and fooled her with an attitude of, "Ah, I'm wearing an eye patch so I can't see your expression."
"Well, I'm actually here to see the service department..."
The pink-haired girl came to her senses and said a little embarrassedly.
Yukinoshita Yukino gave Li Mo a perfect smile, one that was slightly smug and quite reserved.
It's unexpectedly infuriating.
"In that case, to protect the client's privacy, we will withdraw first." Li Mo said to Yanami with a stern face, ignoring her victorious smile.
"Oh, don't be so cautious. It's not something worth keeping secret."
The pink-haired girl said hurriedly.
"You are Yuigahama Yui, right?" Yukinoshita Yukino said.
"Huh, Yukinoshita-san knows me?" The pink-haired girl was stunned.
"I've memorized most of the students' names at Sobu High School," Yukinoshita said aloud. "For example, that one over there is called Yanami Ryouko, right?"
"It's Xingcai! I feel like I'm the only one being treated so harshly."
Yana was so sad that she wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Anyway, what is your commission, Yuigahama-san?" Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be wondering why she had remembered Yanami's name wrong, but she quickly concealed the awkwardness and continued to ask.
"Well... I want to make cookies to thank someone, but I'm not confident in my craft..."
Yuigahama Yui said hesitantly, her eyes occasionally glancing at Yukinoshita Yukino: "So I hope I can find someone to help..."
If it's just a small matter, it seems that it has nothing to do with the supernatural.
Li Mo made a conclusion in his heart.
"This kind of thing is indeed beyond the scope of our work, so let's first..." He was about to find an excuse to slip away, but Yanaken grabbed his sleeve.
"Wait a minute, Buchou, I think at times like this we should also demonstrate the helpful spirit that is inherent in the Sobu High School motto!"
"Isn't that part of Sobu High's motto?"
"In short! We have to help Yuigahama-san, no, we must help! We have to help!" Yana saw Kyoka speaking righteously, her tone passionate and resounding.
This was the first time Li Mo had seen Yanaijian take the initiative to do something. He looked down at the girl and saw a look of "I want to eat cookies!" written all over her face.
It turned out to be the case.
"Let me ask you first, Yuigahama, how is your cooking skill?" Li Mo asked the pink-haired girl.
"After the home economics teacher tasted the snacks I made, I told him that I didn't need to go to home economics class anymore," Yuigahama said embarrassedly.
"Oh, so the snacks you made are delicious, so ordinary home economics classes are no longer meaningful to you?" Yanami asked expectantly, with stars in his eyes.
"No, she said this could prevent a bioterrorism attack against Sobu High School students..."
"..."
Li Mo looked at Yanaijian, his eyes clear and his meaning clear: Do you still want to eat cookies like this?
Yana saw that her face was slightly distorted, revealing the girl's inner struggle.
But in the end, the aroma of butter and wheat flour is slightly better.
"For cookies, I'd even die." The girl said with a determined and serious expression, "Didn't the ancients also risk their lives to eat pufferfish?"
"I think there's definitely a decisive difference between the two..."
Chapter 25 Cookies
"Why did this happen..."
Li Mo occasionally felt that he was too tolerant of Yanami. After being encouraged by her a little, he actually followed Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama to the home economics classroom.
The result was such that he could only look at the black cookies (without cocoa) baked by Yuigahama Yui and sigh in despair.
"Why did this happen..."
Yukinoshita Yukino was also dumbfounded. She was clearly looking at Yuigahama Yui carefully, but in just a blink of an eye, the cookies that were originally fine turned into this.
What's going on? Is there some mysterious chemical reaction going on? No, no, no, the ingredients are just milk, wheat flour, egg yolk, and butter, right? How could these ingredients, so well-tested throughout human baking history, react in such mysterious ways?
“It’s not that you can’t eat it.”
Yana saw Xingcai pick up a piece of coal...a cookie, put it in her mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. "The trick is to clear your mind when eating..."
"You can actually swallow it?" Li Mo was a little shocked.
"... Let me tell you a little trivia. While wheat flour can theoretically be eaten once it's cooked, it's completely inedible unless you're prepared to swallow a knife. Even if you force yourself to swallow it, it'll choke you. Even drinking water won't immediately clear your throat. As oxygen gradually depletes, you can only rely on willpower to swallow the lump in your throat." (Note)
Yanaijian said with a hollow look in his eyes, "Compared to that, at least these biscuits are edible, which is pretty good."
"Compared to your taste in food, I'm more curious about how you managed to live to this age..." Li Mo was even more shocked.
"Yanami-san, on a scale of 10, how would my cookies rate?" Yuigahama Yui asked expectantly, looking at Yanami Anna, the only one who didn't immediately give a bad review.
"4.5 points. I don't like the bitterness very much." Yanaijian closed his eyes and nodded seriously as he gave the score. "But the crunchy texture makes up for the lack of taste. There is a lot of room for improvement."
"The main problem is not the bitterness at all, right?" Li Mo couldn't help but complain.
The score is also very subtle. It is impossible to tell whether this guy is serious or just joking.
"4.5 points..."
