The losers in daily youth have all become witches

"Don't really say that!"

"Then let's fast forward to the Ediacaran to Cambrian explosion. I particularly like this part..."

Li Mo nodded obediently: "Have you heard the story of the first overlord of the ocean..."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in Anomalocaris. Can you get straight to the point?"

Asagumo Chihaya said with a smile.

"In short,"

Li Mo replied dryly: "Miss Aiyin seems to have developed some strange feelings..."

"To you, Takuma-kun?"

The girl's expression looked a little complicated.

"No,"

Li Mo said, "It's for you."

"……what?"

Chapter 273: Not Lesbian.

"I'm sorry, although I don't discriminate against homosexuals, I don't have any plans to go there..."

Chihaya Asagumo said to Chihaya Aine awkwardly but politely.

Then he kept a safe distance from her as if nothing had happened.

"Wait a minute, this is a misunderstanding—"

"Ah, if possible, please don't come within two meters of me..."

“Isn’t this super discriminatory?”

"It's not that annoying, eh, just stand over there and that'll be enough."

“Isn’t that the door already? By the way, this is my room, Aine! Asakura-san, you should say something too!”

Chihaya Aion angrily asked Li Mo for help.

Then I saw Li Mo sitting cross-legged on a cushion, holding a teacup and drinking a sip of green tea like an old man. He showed a comfortable expression and sighed: "It's really peaceful..."

"Heping, you're such a jerk! It's actually your fault that things have become so complicated!"

Chihaya Aine was furious.

Li Mo tilted his head and said with a rather Capybara-like relaxed smile: "Japanese is so difficult. I don't understand it~"

"Don't pretend to be a foreigner at a time like this!"

The girl complained loudly: "Besides, now is not the time to be fussing over such trivial matters! What about the spell? What about the weirdness? Are these things just going to be forgotten like this?"

"Well……"

"Don't really show that expression that says 'I'm a little bored and don't want to talk about that anymore'. People who are driven to despair by that stuff will feel really pathetic, like me!"

"Mmm..."

“And don’t really show that ‘Wow, this kid is so pathetic’ expression, it’ll only make me, Aine, feel sad!”

"So complicated……"

Li Mo sighed.

Chihaya Aine patted the cushion with a nonchalant attitude: "Who is responsible for this?"

"Because of Beethoven?"

Li Mo said uncertainly.

"Why!"

The girl had a look on her face that said, "Why does this name appear here?"

"It's all because of fate → The Fate Symphony was written by Beethoven → So it's all because of Beethoven."

Asagumo Chihaya explained, "This is probably what Takuma-kun was thinking."

"This line of thinking is too strange. And why does Asagumo-senpai know Asakura-san's thinking so well..."

Chihaya Aine complained, but then her expression darkened again.

Putting aside the fact that he was mistaken for a homosexual, he could really not blame anyone for what had happened to him. If he had to, he could put all the blame on that weirdo, but now that person had been sentenced to death, immediate execution, by Asakura-san, it seemed that there was really no other reason besides luck.

Could it be that I should blame my dad for buying that kind of handicraft and putting it at home?

After stepping into this unknown and forbidden area, the world in your eyes will undergo earth-shaking changes.

"What will the world become..."

"As long as the sun rises as usual, people's lives must go on."

Li Mo became a little more serious, and Chihaya Asagumo stopped joking. Although the reasons were different, they were all suddenly pulled into an 'unusual' world. They could empathize with Chihaya Aine's feelings at the moment: "Don't take it too seriously. It's just a few more things in your daily life. Don't feel like there's something hanging over your head."

"It's clearly such a dangerous thing, why are you guys so calm about it, Asakura-kun?"

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but ask, she muttered without confidence: "I don't think I can take that kind of thing for granted as easily as you guys do..."

"For example,"

Li Mo didn't answer directly, "Aine, do you know about gamma-ray bursts?"

"what?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then answered uncertainly, "It seems to be an astronomical phenomenon?"

"That's right. You can think of that thing as a beam of energy. It's a fairly common occurrence in the universe. If the Earth were hit by a gamma-ray burst, it could cause an unprecedented mass extinction. The interruption of civilization is just normal. Even humans could become extinct."

Li Mo said: "Unfortunately, there are many things in the universe like gamma-ray bursts that can deal a fatal blow to the entire Earth, or at least the Earth's biosphere. One day, it may suddenly appear and cleanse the entire surface."

"From this perspective, it's easy to feel that everything human has achieved is just a fragile dream. Civilization, seemingly capable of transforming even nature, is nothing more than a slightly more tenacious soap bubble, ready to burst at any moment. Life feels meaningless, and the ideals we strive for are but fleeting shadows, meaningless even if we grasp them.

Li Mo concluded, "There are so many things that can destroy everything, but before this, you never felt that your life was false, nor did you feel that the time you spent and your future were meaningless, right? Now, in addition to these things, there are only a few more supernatural beings. Most of them will not even have an impact on the earth as large as a meteorite. Why are you worried about them?"

"Well, maybe Asakura-kun you're right... Even if the sky does fall, we still have people like you to hold it up."

Chihaya Aine didn't seem to be comforted, but she seemed to have a very good ability to adjust herself psychologically, and she seemed to be somewhat happy that Li Mo would comfort her so seriously, and her expression was not as depressed as before.

“You’re able to pull yourself together so quickly. Aine-san has a very strong spirit.”

Chihaya Asagumo couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"It's okay. And Senior Chaoyun should have had similar experiences, right?"

Chihaya Aine said.

Asagumo Chihaya shook her head. "As for me... because I have something more important to worry about than life, I don't waste time thinking about those things. In comparison, it's really impressive that Aine-san can recover so quickly."

"Hehehe, my humble self, Chihaya Aine, is made up of one-third optimism, one-third strength, one-third cuteness, and one-third vitality!"

"Is it one-third too much?"

Li Mo complained.

"That's a backup hidden energy source!"

The girl said with her little fangs grinning.

"It would be nice if sexual orientation could be more normal."

Asagumo Chihaya said with a smile.

"Gu..."

The strong-minded girl collapsed, clutching her chest.

Chapter 274: No. 12, Rabbit Mountain Shopping Street Plaza.

After having dinner at Chihaya Aine's house, Li Mo said goodbye to Chihaya Asagumo and left.

Although the pink-haired lady said they could continue chatting for a while, Li Mo took into consideration that she had experienced many ups and downs today. Although she looked quite energetic now, she was probably quite tired. Staying here would only hinder her rest.

"But Mrs. Chihaya's fried chicken is really delicious."

In the hazy moonlit night sky, Li Mo supported his cheek with one hand and held the steering wheel with the other, with an expression on his face as if he was savoring the food for dinner.

"I asked Mrs. Chihaya for advice on how to make fried chicken nuggets. It seems to be similar to Tatsuta's fried chicken. I'll try making it for Takuma-kun when I get a chance."

Perhaps because they were the only two people left in the car, Chihaya Asagumo seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

"By the way, I was just about to ask, why did you, Asagumo, specifically learn how to make fried chicken from Mrs. Chihaya?"

Li Mo asked curiously.

"I have no answer for the person who calls me 'Asagumo'."

The girl puffed up her cheeks as if she was angry and looked out the window.

"Okay, Miss Chihaya~"

Li Mo couldn't help but laugh and shook his head: "You know very well that I only call you that to prevent confusion when calling people at Chihaya's house."

“‘Being able to understand’ and ‘happily accepting’ are two different things.”

Chihaya Asagumo said seriously, "I'm a girl too. It's only natural for me to want someone I like to coax me, right?"

Li Mo was silent for a moment.

"It's okay if you don't respond so quickly. Although I don't know the reason, I can vaguely feel that no one can enter Takuma-kun's heart yet. So Takuma-kun, don't worry too much about what I'm doing. After all, it's just my wishful thinking... Ah, if you can pay a little attention to me, I'll be very happy too."

The girl spoke softly, then revealed a smile that was deeply gentle. "Oh, and here's the answer from before. I learned how to make fried chicken from Mrs. Chihaya because I saw Takuma-kun enjoying it at the dinner table."

Li Mo sighed.

"It's not really a date, but I happen to have something I can show you, Chihaya."

He said, "Is it okay for you to come home a little later?"

“My parents trust me so much that there are no restrictions on entry.”

The girl asked curiously, "So what did Takumi-kun want me to see?"

"It won't be a banana or a goldfish or anything like that."

"If it's Takuma-kun, I wouldn't really mind that much, you know?"

"..."

Even someone as thick-skinned as Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little helpless and agitated by the girl's straightforwardness.

The old Ford spun in mid-air and headed in another direction.

After a quick look, the girl asked, "Are we going to the school... the association hut?"

"No, just be patient, you will find out soon."

Li Mo showed a mysterious smile.

A moment later, the old Ford landed at the edge of a shopping street, and then slowly drove into the not very wide road in the shopping street.

Unlike the bustling scene during lunch break and after school, after nightfall, there are only a few shops still open in this more traditional old-fashioned shopping street. Only places like izakayas have not closed yet, and you can see signs of them being open from the lights under the door curtains.

There was no one to be seen on the streets. After all, the students, who were the main consumers, had already gone home, so there was really no point in keeping the store open.

After arriving at the target location, Li Mo turned and drove into an even more remote alley, then got out of the car with Chao Yun Chihaya.

Chihaya glanced back and saw the old Ford slowly sinking into the ground. Only the hood, for some unknown reason, was raised, like a fist with a thumbs-up, still proclaiming the old car's indomitable spirit...

“Hey, this store…”

After arriving at the street, the girl looked at the shops beside the alley and couldn't help but be stunned.

As a student of Sobu High School, although she didn't come to the shopping street very often, she had some impression of it.

But in the girl's memory, there seemed to be no such store here.

"It's normal for you to feel strange. After all, the confusing effect of this store only works on Muggles."

Li Mo said: "For most people, this store is a store that has existed for a long time but has never opened for some reason."

As he spoke, he took something out of his pocket.
