The losers in daily youth have all become witches

The sun sets in the west.

The campus of Sobu High School was coated with a brilliant golden hue by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the cold and hard lines of the teaching buildings also became softened.

The glow passed through the treetops outside the window, and only orange-red spots of light that had been filtered through layers of filtering fell into the school building. For a moment, a mysterious atmosphere began to fill the teaching building that was full of vitality during the day.

Fortunately, on the playground behind the teaching building, the sound of exercise calls from members of various sports clubs could be heard constantly, making the empty teaching building not as eerie and scary as it was at night.

"That's pretty much it."

At the corner of the stairs, Li Mo bought a box of 300% concentrated peach juice from the vending machine. He handed it to Chihaya Aine and said, "The only things left to visit are some corners that I haven't been to much."

"Thank you... But I should buy Asakura-kun a drink, right? After all, I'm the one being helped."

Chihaya Aine took the box of juice and said a little embarrassedly.

"Then please excuse me next time. There's no need to be so specific about such trivial matters."

Li Mo spoke as if nothing had happened, while paying attention to the girl's actions.

As expected, the girl started coughing immediately after inserting the straw into the juice box and taking a sip.

"Ahem...what is this?"

"One of Sobu High School's two specialties."

Li Mo said with satisfaction: "The other one is the rainbow jam that is occasionally refreshed in the school canteen."

"The person in charge of this beverage's product line must have a grudge against the boss, right?"

The girl said angrily, almost spitting juice out of her nose.

"But it says it's fruit juice, which seems pretty healthy, and the price isn't much more expensive than Coke. Just looking at the price-performance ratio, it's pretty good, right?"

"That's just like saying drinking coffee is inefficient and you should chew the beans directly!"

"Come to think of it, I once bought a can of civet coffee."

Li Mo said abruptly.

"…What are you expecting?"

The girl looked at him warily.

Li Mo showed a harmless smile.

The girl's eyes became even more suspicious.

The two of them walked in the corridor in silence for a long time.

"Well, anyway, thank you for showing me around Sobu High School,"

Finally losing her patience, Chihaya Aine held the juice in her hand and said to Li Mo frankly, "Asakura-kun, are you going back to that... Yorozuya now?"

"Let me reiterate that I am not a member of the Service Club."

Li Mo turned his head to look at the girl and said seriously, "It's just that the Ministry of Magic happens to have the right to use half of the Ministry's activity room, so I stay there occasionally."

"That's it..."

Chihaya Aine tilted her head, seeming to understand, and asked, "Then aren't you going?"

"Everyone else has something to do today, and there's nothing for me to do in the activity room."

Li Mo spread his hands and said.

The girl realized that Li Mo was absent from the service club activities because he had to take her on a tour and immediately lowered her head: "Sorry..."

"Don't worry about it. It's better to say that I can slack off today. It's not bad to have a day off."

Li Mo comforted the other party half-seriously and half-falsely.

Chihaya Aine nodded doubtfully.

Immediately afterwards, the girl felt that there seemed to be some problems with her vision.

Ink began to spread on the normal window glass along the corridor. After just a moment, the corridor, which was already a little dim because it was approaching dusk, was immediately immersed in the early night.

The shadows of branches or other things outside the window on the wall seemed to come alive and began to dance ecstatically.

Oh no, are my hallucinations starting again? And at this very moment...

The girl rubbed her eyes hard, trying to make the hallucinations fade away as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, she heard the voice of Li Mo who was walking in front of her.

"How arrogant."

His voice was very soft, to the point where one could easily miss it, and his tone was completely different from the relaxed, slightly frivolous tone he used when he was chatting with her.

At this time, the boy's voice was cold and indifferent, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Chihaya Aine looked up in surprise, and then saw a scene that she would never forget in her life.

The young man walking in front of her had a hint of impatience on his face. He casually stretched out his finger and pointed at the terrifying shadow on the wall that was dancing like a ghost. The shadow immediately froze. Almost a moment later, the black shadow collapsed like a flower bud blooming, and many shadows of small snakes suddenly jumped out from it.

And those little snake shadows, like greedy snakes, began to hunt the strange shadows on the wall.

Although the shadows were silent, seeing the ghosts that were originally scattered on the wall like a hundred demons parading at night and were now running away in all directions, Chihaya Aine had an inexplicable illusion that she heard the shadows screaming.

In just a moment, the corridor, which originally looked as scary as a haunted house in a horror movie, became much stranger, and the cold and weird feeling disappeared in an instant.

But the girl was not happy about this. She was stunned and felt her body was terribly stiff.

The reason why she was so sure that the strange things she saw were all hallucinations was because she once pointed out the strange scenes she saw in the mirror to her parents, but neither her parents nor other people, even the doctors in the hospital, said that they could not see what the girl saw.

Obviously, those things are only visible to me, so they must be my own imagination and hallucinations.

However, at this moment, Li Mo's performance completely broke the girl's composure.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, judging from her actions just now, Chihaya Aine obviously understood it, and Li Mo could also see the strange black shadows sticking out from the window glass.

So, what exactly were those things I saw that I thought were hallucinations?

"Asakura-kun, can you see that?!"

She asked in a trembling voice.

"What? You mean those weird ones?"

Li Mo turned around and looked at the girl who suddenly became excited.

"weird?"

The girl repeated Li Mo's words like a tape recorder.

"Just treat it as a supernatural monster from anime. It's not a troublesome thing."

Li Mo said calmly.

"Strange, monster..."

Chihaya Aine first murmured blankly, and then her face turned pale. The fingers holding the juice box turned white, and the juice also deflated a lot under the girl's strength.

How could she have stayed with something like this for so long? She thought to herself in fear.

"don’t worry,"

At this moment, Li Mo's comforting voice sounded: "Didn't I tell you? I am the Minister of Magic. It's just a thing of this level, don't take it to heart..."

Chapter 257: Tracing the roots.

Although the lights were not on, the light and shadow in the corridor suddenly flickered twice, and then returned to normal. The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window still poured into the corridor with its last warmth. The chirping of cicadas and the hustle and bustle of the sports department on the playground also rushed in through the gaps in the glass along with the hot summer night dinner, as if all the gloomy scenes just seen were just illusions.

But Chihaya Aine still felt cold all over and was unable to move.

"follow me."

Li Mo pulled her out of the teaching building without saying anything and headed to the old school building, which was also the club building.

Then, with Chihaya Aine, who had finally come to her senses and had hardly any contact with boys of the same age in a girls' school, looking a little shy, the two of them walked straight to the club's hut.

Only after entering the association's hut did Chihaya Aine temporarily forget her shyness and just stared at the furnishings in the hut with wide eyes - it was obvious that no matter the structure or the interior decoration, this place did not look like an empty classroom at all.

"sit."

Li Mo pointed to the sofa beside him.

Because her worldview had been shocked, Chihaya Aine, who looked a little dull and silly, was different from her usual smart appearance. She sat on the sofa with some hesitation, not daring to move.

But he couldn't help but look at the crucible not far away. The crucible, which was more than half a person's height, was filled with a strange liquid. From time to time, a few bubbles emerged, which looked subtle and creepy.

"That's the white savory essence...almost done, I guess."

Li Mo said, "It might be a little different from the original, but it shouldn't be too big... Would you like something to drink?"

Before the girl could respond, she saw a five or six meter long python, the kind that was only seen in the reptile house in the zoo, crawling out from some corner of the room. After handing her a mug, it quickly swam away and disappeared into the corner of the wall.

"How about hot cocoa? Oh, the weather isn't very suitable for hot drinks right now... How about iced pumpkin juice or pumpkin soda? If you're feeling adventurous and want to try something new, I also have Gordigan tea..."

Li Mo asked as he took out a few plates.

The girl opened her mouth, but her throat was so dry that she didn't know what to say.

Li Mo nodded in understanding and snapped his fingers at the cup in her hand, and it was filled with orange pumpkin juice.

Chihaya Aine took a small bite nervously and was surprised to find it tasted quite good.

Then, a lot of snacks appeared out of thin air on the small plates placed in front of her, including shell cakes, almond cookies, cookies and a lump of something that looked like an ice cream ball.

Regardless of how these snacks tasted, the fact that they appeared out of nowhere was enough to shock Chihaya Aine.

This was definitely not some magic trick. Even the pumpkin juice appeared out of thin air in the cup she was holding. To her, perhaps only magic could explain all this.

The girl couldn't help but mutter in her heart: Who would have thought that a high school club would actually be a real thing...

"Okay, I think you've calmed down a bit now. Let's talk about those weird things you saw."

Li Mo sat opposite the girl, and a purple turbid liquid appeared out of thin air in his cup, which reminded Chihaya Aine of the Bibi Multi-Flavored Beans that Li Mo had tried to trick her into eating before. This was probably the Gordigen Tea he had just mentioned.

"What do you want to say?"

Chihaya Aine asked nervously.

"When did you start being able to see those things?"

Li Mo sipped his tea and asked softly.

"Not long ago..."

The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally gave up and said, "I had just returned from England not long ago."

What reassured her was that Li Mo did not ask about the details of her return from England.

"Is there any opportunity?"

He continued asking with his eyebrows raised, and there was no annoyance in his tone. The girl thought that he was just unhappy with the tea.

"I'm not sure... but if I have to say, it seems like it might be related to the mirror."

Chihaya Aine tried hard to recall, but many of the things she saw at first only flashed by and she couldn't see them clearly. She didn't pay much attention to them, so she couldn't trace them back to the source.

The only thing that is certain is that the strange 'hallucinations' seen at first only appeared and flashed in the mirror, and even if you look back, you can't see anything.

"Mirror……"

Li Mo rubbed his chin and began to think.

He almost immediately thought of his current system task, which was to find a magic mirror.

Considering that the system generally does not act without reason (although occasionally a task cannot be completed and is eventually refreshed because the target cannot be found), perhaps Chihaya Aine was tricked by the effect of a magic mirror.

But then, does she need to check every mirror since the girl returned to the island country? It seems like a bit of a workload.

"Um...what will happen to me next?"

Chihaya Aine asked nervously.

"In theory, there won't be any big problems."

Li Mo said: "Like I said, don't worry, I'm the Minister of Magic...problems of this level are not that difficult."

Not to mention that everything will be fine as long as the magic mirror can be found, even if we take a step back and say that the magic mirror cannot be found at all, Li Mo can try to use the magic spell [Snake] to turn Chihaya Aine into a snake, and then break the spell and turn her back into a human to refresh the girl's state and see if he can get rid of the influence of the magic mirror.

If this method doesn't work, then I can only temporarily put a layer of [Scales] on her to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Of course, if you can endure some pain and use [Candle] to burn off the supernatural elements in her body, you might be able to avoid the effect of the magic mirror.
