Gokou Ruri looked at Chihaya Aine carefully, and her emotionless wine-red eyes made the pink-haired girl feel uneasy.

But she immediately encouraged herself.

Isn't he just a middle school kid with electric-wave-style evil eyes who's half a head shorter than me? What's there to be afraid of?

"I am the first witch of the association. You can call me Gogen-senpai."

As a result, Gogen Ruri said directly in a condescending manner.

"Hey, red bean paste?"

Chihaya Aine looked at Li Mo in surprise, and the latter nodded silently, acknowledging what Gokou Ruri said.

"By the way, Chihaya-chan...ah, I mean, Asagumo-san usually calls Ruri 'Ruri-san'."

Yuigahama Yui added from the side.

Chihaya Aine was relieved then: Since even Senior Chaoyun calls him that, it won't be a disadvantage for me to call him that too.

So she also called out respectfully, "Hello, Senior Xiao Liuli... By the way, what is Senior Xiao Liuli's full name?"

"It's the Fallen Holy Black Cat."

The Fallen Saint Black Cat said with a look of certainty.

"There's no word 'Liuli' in this name!"

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but complain loudly.

"There's no tongue in tongue pancakes, and no wieners in Viennese coffee. Isn't that normal?"

Li Mo joined in cheerfully.

"Asakura-kun, you just think it's fun to tease me, right? I've already seen that you're the kind of guy who liked to tease girls in elementary school and make them feel embarrassed!"

Chihaya Aine turned her complaints to Li Mo.

"There is no such thing."

Li Mo waved his hands, looking artificially embarrassed: "I'm very introverted."

"Eh?"

Wu Geng Liuli looked at Li Mo in surprise.

“I can’t tell at all!”

Chihaya Aine said loudly.

Yuigahama Yui beside her also nodded hurriedly.

It seems that the three girls agree on this point.

"Okay, enough of the boring stuff, let's get down to business."

Li Mo quickly brought the subject back.

After the three girls entered the round table hall, he closed the stone door and led the three of them around the round table to the opposite side.

At this time, the three of them saw a glittering object that looked like an inscription on the ground.

"There's something hidden ahead...will you offer me a roll?"

Yuigahama Yui squinted her eyes and read the words above: "What does this mean?"

"That's what it means."

Li Mo stretched out his hand towards the empty wall, as if he was grasping something in the void. After twisting it to the right three times, a blue plastic door appeared on the wall. It was completely different from the solemn medieval style of the Round Table Hall. It looked subtle and a bit cheap.

"What about rolling?"

Yuigahama Yui asked blankly.

“I executed it in my heart.”

Li Mo answered seriously.

Then he pushed open the door and made an inviting gesture towards the girls.

Yuigahama Yui and the others filed in through the door and arrived at the back kitchen of a store that looked like it had been closed for a long time... well, actually not that long.

"where is this place?"

Chihaya Aine asked curiously, "The family restaurant's warehouse?"

"Have you ever seen a place like this?"

Li Mo looked at the girl in surprise.

"I worked part-time at a similar store when I was in junior high."

The pink-haired, canine-toothed girl said this, her face filled with an expression that said, "These are all mistakes made by youth." "But I felt like it would take up a lot of my vacation time, so I quit not long after."

"Okay, although it's not necessary, your work experience may be useful in the future."

Li Mo looked at the girl meaningfully and said.

"What do you mean? This is really a family restaurant?"

Chihaya Aine was stunned.

"If nothing unexpected happens,"

Li Mo replied: "I will choose one among family restaurant, coffee shop, pastry shop and detective agency."

"The style of the last option is completely different from the previous three!"

Chapter 286: Not full strength.

After passing through the kitchen and warehouse, Li Mo brought a few people to the business area of ​​the store.

The walls of the business area are off-white and gray, with no extra decorations. There is only a simple abstract painting hanging above the dining table, which adds a touch of literary and artistic atmosphere to the space.

The floor is paved with light grey wood-grain tiles, probably because they are stain-resistant and easy to maintain - or maybe just because they are cheap - but overall they complement the overall style.

The dining table is a rectangular wooden table. If you have a high EQ, it has smooth lines. If you have a low EQ, it has no sense of design at all and looks cheap.

Each dining table is matched with dining chairs of the same color. Several tables against the wall are also equipped with soft-padded sofas. The backrests are slightly tilted back, which is ergonomic and comfortable to sit on. However, for a family restaurant, it reduces the turnover rate, which may be a bad choice.

——Li Mo felt that he subtly understood the reason why this family restaurant went bankrupt.

On the other side of the store, against the wall, there was a custom-made built-in bar cabinet, on which was the coffee saucer that Li Mo had not had time to put away yesterday.

The cabinet body is pure white and blends in with the wall, visually expanding the sense of space. The cabinet is divided into two parts, the upper part is an open grid, which can be used to place some commonly used tableware and decorations; the lower part is a closed cabinet door, which can store some infrequently used items to keep the space tidy.

Although it looks very strange in a family restaurant, if it is placed in a cafe or a light bar... it doesn't seem to be that stylish. The reason why the owner of the store made such a choice is puzzling.

The entire restaurant does not have too much decoration. Although there is an inexplicable sense of coordination, the minimalist decoration style is still very picky about people's aesthetics.

"Is this Takuma Tan's shop? It feels..."

Yuigahama Yui's tone was high, but the ending tone suddenly dropped: "Well, it doesn't seem so good..."

Gokou Ruri nodded in agreement, while Chihaya Aine didn't look very interested.

It can be seen that the store donated by the system (or snatched from the Toyokawa Group), with its minimalist decoration, is not a good choice for teenage girls.

"After all, it's just a closed shop, and the price was surprisingly low (0 yen), so don't expect too much from it."

Li Mo spread his hands.

To be honest, he thought it should be renovated, but after doing a quick check on the cost of renovating a store on his computer yesterday, the number of zeros after the quote immediately discouraged him.

Anyway, the system's mission is just to make a profit, so maybe a half-dead one would be fine? No deficit is victory!

"Hey, is this... the shopping street at the bottom of the slope?"

As she was talking, Yuigahama Yui had already opened the glass door and walked out of the store. Only then did she realize that she was actually in the bustling Rabbit Mountain Shopping Street. When she was still in the store just now, she could not feel the bustling feeling outside at all.

What's even more bizarre is that in a prosperous shopping street, there is a closed store that looks quite like a "haunted house". It should be quite eye-catching. After all, there are several boys and girls dressed as Sobu High School students in the store (there is even a cute gothic loli with cat ears!), but passers-by seem to be completely unaware of this store and are not even interested in looking at it for a moment.

This level of neglect can be considered abnormal.

Thinking of the club's hut embedded in the wall of the club building, the girl couldn't help but think, "Is it possible that ordinary people can't see this shop?"

“Not at full strength.”

Li Mo, who had come to her side at some point, suddenly said this, scaring the girl.

"what?"

Yuigahama Yui asked subconsciously.

"From the look on your face just now, I'm sure you were thinking something like, 'Opening a family restaurant in Rabbit Mountain Shopping District, encountering Wagunaria by chance, trying your best but failing to defeat her, and ultimately going bankrupt'?"

Li Mo said with an expression like a swamp fish, "I have seen through everything."

"No, I just wondered if the average person couldn't see this shop."

The girl laughed dryly and complained.

"What? I guessed wrong!"

Li Mo was shocked.

"Most people wouldn't think that... What is Wagunaria?"

Chihaya Aine also came to the door and asked curiously.

“A great family restaurant on this street,”

Wu Geng Liuli, who had been invited there by Li Mo, said: "The taste is okay, but the waiters are a bit strange."

"Ms. Tanejima is quite normal, right?"

Li Mo, who often went to Wagunaria, protested.

"It's definitely weird to be so small and have such big breasts!"

Gokou Ruri said this very firmly.

"So is this store really invisible to ordinary people?"

Yuigahama Yui asked curiously.

"Well, Muggles won't notice this for now, but after the store opens, this effect can be turned off."

Li Mo nodded and replied: "Otherwise, wouldn't it be impossible to operate at all?"

"Hey, how about opening a livehouse? Once I form my own band, I can come over to Asakura-san and help you perform~"

Chihaya Aine said happily, a look of 'As expected of me, I came up with such a great idea!' on her slightly chubby face.

Li Mo recalled looking up renovation quotes for various shops yesterday. The prices for livehouses, which came with all sorts of equipment, had two extra zeros compared to those for family restaurants and cafes. He shook his head decisively: "I'm not interested in livehouses... So, you haven't given up on forming a band yet? Clearly, the misunderstanding about the mental stress has been resolved."

"Hehe, Asakura-san, you really don't understand."

Chihaya Aine hummed softly and revealed a slightly silly smile: "Even if there is no mental pressure, I still want to be looked at with admiration by others!"

"A vain woman."

Gogen Liuli speaks her mind.

"That's human nature..."

Yuigahama Yui awkwardly tried to smooth things over: "I'm sure Xiao Liuli has similar thoughts about wanting to be the protagonist, right?"

"That's not the case. We, the Night Demon Queen, have been standing above the heavens since the beginning!"

Gokou Ruri immediately spoke arrogantly in a tone that was full of middle school student connotations.

"In other words, is Xiao Liuli the type who likes to be a powerful figure behind the scenes in the plot?"

Yuigahama Yui understood.

Gokou Ruri didn't say anything, but her arrogant expression seemed to mean that she didn't object to Yuigahama's statement.

"That setting is too boring. A wonderful life is all about triple jumps! Dash forward, jump, and then spin 1,800 degrees in the air and land!"

Chihaya Aine said.

"Your wonderful life has too many ups and downs!"
