The losers in daily youth have all become witches

"No, at most I just acted out the 'friends below catch me' phase before hitting my face on the ground."

"You couldn't perform that kind of performance even in your prime, right?"

"Asakura-kun, you're underestimating me. Let alone my heyday after my debut, I could definitely do this even during my heyday as an underground idol." The outdated idol in the poster snorted, then suddenly lost his momentum. "How much he'll be taken advantage of by those otaku fans is another matter."

"That's what idols are like. They can't survive without nerd-pleasers."

【Asakura-kun's opinion of idols is quite biased.】

Li Mo did not answer, but just hummed Revolution with great interest.

[Speaking of which, rather than warning that kid about any accidents, I think it would be better to help her band find a lead singer as soon as possible.]

"Can't I sing properly without using [Song]?"

Li Mo frowned and asked.

Currently, the topics rated higher than Il-ri's singing voice on 5ch include An-O economics and the LGBT movement in the United States.

"No, no, no, it's not that bad. Ichiri shouldn't have committed such a crime..."

Li Mo said helplessly.

He had also listened to Yili's new song before, which seemed to be called "You Are My Egumi Heritage" or something like that. Although he didn't know what the so-called Egumi heritage was until the end, and the lyrics were subtle enough to make people doubt the girl's mental state, but if you just talk about whether it was good or not, Li Mo thought it was actually quite nice.

Well, it shouldn’t be that there’s something wrong with my aesthetic taste.

But aside from the incredibly impressive Founder's Festival, the band's current live performances have been incredibly disappointing. Apparently, it seems like Ichiri's vocal duties are just too much of a stretch for her. And I can't just sing every time I go on stage. That's like a forced shower...

At this time, a pink hair appeared in Li Mo's head.

Or maybe I recommend Chihaya Aine to try out for vocals in the band? Her voice might sound a bit pinched, but it's not worse than Goto Ichiri's normal vocals, is it?

In any case, at least judging from Hoshino Ai's reaction, Ichiri should not have suddenly encountered a stalker or something.

From this perspective, is that guy's target really Li Mo himself?

If that were the case, Li Mo would have nothing to worry about.

As long as a layer of magic spell [Scales] is normally covered on the body during this period, the opponent will not be able to kill him instantly no matter what. Once the opponent shows up, the next one to take the attack will be the opponent.

Of course, necessary protection for Goto Ichiri and the others must not be neglected at all.

"The magic power... is still enough,"

Li Mo, who had just taken a sip from Gogeng Liuli, felt that he had plenty of time at the moment: "Then we should maintain a certain level of vigilance until the other party shows up..."

After arranging snakes to monitor and guard everyone in the Ministry of Magic, Li Mo specially carved [Scale Flash Patterns] into the bodies of those snakes. Even if they encountered any emergencies, a layer of [Scales] could be passively activated. Regardless of whether it was strong or not, at least there would be no problem for them to hold on until Li Mo arrived.

"As for Yukinoshita... the ring I gave her has a trigger-type [Scale Flash Pattern], so there shouldn't be any problems... As for Yanami... aside from her stomach capacity, she seems no different from an ordinary Muggle. Does she really need protection? Or rather, wouldn't being overprotective draw attention to herself?"

With a heavy heart, Li Mo did not go home that day and spent the night in the society's hut.

As he studied the spell more and more, the ordinary snakes transformed by the spell were no longer sufficient, so Li Mo began to pursue more functional snakes.

Of course, there are definitely not so many easy-to-use snakes in nature for him to use at will, so many of the snakes that Li Mo controls now (such as the small black snake that crawled out of the manhole cover yesterday) are first made by him through a method similar to alchemy. He first creates alchemical ingots with special properties, and then uses the spell [Snake] on those metal ingots to catalyze various new snakes that are obviously not naturally generated.

In order to rub the new little snake, he naturally didn't get much sleep.

The next day, when Li Mo appeared in the activity room, Yukinoshita Yukino was frightened by his dark circles.

"What did you do when you went out last night?"

she asked suspiciously.

"Protecting world peace."

Li Mo yawned and said casually.

The girl snorted lightly, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Mo's casual perfunctory response: "Thank you for taking the time to be so perfunctory to me. If you don't want to say it, forget it."

After saying this, the girl showed a proud expression that said "I don't care anyway". As for how much of it was true, only the girl herself knew.

"But you, have you found anything?"

Li Mo rubbed his swollen and painful temples and asked the girl.

After he asked this, Yukinoshita Yukino fell silent.

However, it wasn't the guilty silence that came from not finding anything, but rather the tangled silence of 'knowing the inside story but not knowing whether to tell it or not'.

The girl put down the paperback in her hand, looked at the yawning Li Mo, and said seriously: "I want to have a good talk with you about that Toyokawa Shoko."

Chapter 290: Toyokawa Shoko, that Toyokawa.

"Do you know the Toyokawa family?"

Here.

In the service department's activity room, the girl stared at Li Mo and asked softly.

"know a little."

Li Mo nodded.

In fact, he had no interest in the chaebols of this country. The reason why he knew the news in this regard was purely because he met the insider girl last time. After receiving her guidance, he learned a little about the relevant information.

But it was just a brief taste. After all, when you don't have the ability to control the market, finance is essentially no different from gambling in a casino opened by someone else.

It’s okay to have some fun to earn some living expenses, but it’s boring if you become overly addicted.

"To what extent?"

The girl then asked.

"It's about the same as knowing that the contents of the live bead are not chicken soup but urine."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought seriously for half a second and found that with her knowledge and cognition, she had no way of judging what this guy meant by this sentence, so she decided to pretend not to hear it and just stared at him with a sharp look of death.

"Okay, I vaguely heard that he lost a lot of money in a failed investment some time ago."

When the girl's gaze began to approach contempt, Li Mo spread his hands and replied: "But it's just gossip."

"It's just gossip,"

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded and said, "It wasn't a failed investment, but rather that the senior management at the time were defrauded and their partners swindled them out of tens of billions of liquid funds."

"So, that Fengchuan-san is working the night shift to pay back the debt?"

Li Mo gave him a look that said, "Team Yukino, are you awake?" "Let's not even talk about the fact that tens of billions of yen wouldn't be a major blow to a consortium of that size, and there's no way they'd ask the daughter of a consortium to work part-time. In fact, I suspect that for the Toyokawa family's daughter, a loss of this magnitude would at most mean the difference between 'packing up everything in this store' and 'I don't want this or that, pack up everything else'. You're thinking of paying off tens of billions of yen in debt just by doing odd jobs. Toyokawa-san... or Yukinoshita, are you serious?"

The girl glanced at him and showed no dissatisfaction with Li Mo's suspicion.

Because that's what she thought at first.

Considering the scale of the Toyokawa Group, even if it filed for bankruptcy because all its funds were defrauded, the Toyokawa family, as the backbone of the group, would not be in such a bad state.

So even though she knew from Hiratsuka Shizuka from the beginning that the student working the night shift was named Toyokawa, Yukinoshita Yukino never thought about it and just thought it was a coincidence.

It was not until she was confronted twice by the other party and was ridiculed by Li Mo that she let go of her arrogance and began to try to understand Toyokawa Shoko through various channels. Finally, she learned the other party's secret.

Well, Yukinoshita didn't know whether this could be considered a secret or not. After all, although the other party never mentioned his situation at school, he didn't try to hide it. If one wanted to investigate, it would be easy to get relevant information from many places.

The afternoon sun shines through the window, spreading into the house with a bit of Tyndall effect.

Avoiding the harshest midday sun, the light now became soft, gently brushing across the girl's face and falling on the paper in front of her.

It was not one of the various paperback classics that the girl often read, but some kind of document printed out on A4 paper.

Her slender fingertips gently stroked the paper.

"Let me first state the conclusion. Miss Toyokawa is indeed a child of the Toyokawa family."

Yukinoshita Yukino said, "At least before she transferred, she was still attending the prestigious Shuchi-in School, which was only for the children of the rich and powerful."

"Teacher Yukinoshita, I have a question~"

Li Mo raised his hand.

"Excuse me, what's the problem, Asakura-san?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked in a rare cooperative manner.

"With your family background, Yukinoshita-sensei, you should be able to go to Shuchi-in, right?"

"I have no interest in that kind of place."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know what she remembered, and showed a look of disgust. Then she murmured in an inaudible voice, as if talking to herself: "And Sobu High School is where she goes to school..."

"Oh? So, Yukinoshita-sensei wanted to attend her sister's alma mater, so she chose Sobu High School?"

"Why is it that Asakura-san's hearing becomes so much better only at times like this?"

"My hearing has always been good, but sometimes I take it too seriously, which makes life very tiring."

Li Mo replied with a smile: "So after arriving here, what is your impression of Sobu High School?"

“…I don’t think that’s the point right now.”

Yukinoshita Yukino forcefully changed the subject.

Just seeing Li Mo's face full of sudden enlightenment, which seemed to say 'she loves it so much', the girl couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

"Please don't dwell on irrelevant matters."

Yukinoshita Yukino righteously said: "If you write a novel, readers will just feel that the author's words are a waste of their lives."

"Exactly, just like the sentence above, which wastes about 60 words of life."

Li Mo nodded in agreement.

No, I'm blaming you. Show some self-awareness! The girl complained in her heart.

However, she felt that if she said it, the guy opposite her would continue to make jokes, so she tried to calm down.

"Anyway, that Toyokawa-san is the daughter of the conglomerate executive who was defrauded of tens of billions of yen. And according to the information I've found, that executive resigned after losing such a large sum of money. I don't have any concrete information on whether he was burdened with debt, but I don't think he received any severance pay."

Yukinoshita Yukino got straight to the point: "Although I didn't continue investigating for more specific information due to privacy concerns, I can probably guess why she went to work part-time. I can also understand why she reacted so strongly after I persuaded her."

When she said this, her expression looked a little gloomy, probably because she remembered the two times before when she was speechless because of the other party.

"So you still plan to continue with this commission?"

Li Mo asked: "Honestly, at this point, even if you throw the blame directly to Ms. Hiratsuka, she probably won't have much to say after having this information."

"I haven't figured out how to do it yet...but I can't give up halfway."

The girl said seriously, "At least... I should apologize to her who I offended before."

Li Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at Yukinoshita, whose sleeping quality also seemed to be not very good.

Could it be that after learning about the heavy reality that Toyokawa Shoko was facing and how frivolous and arrogant she had been in the past and offended her, Yukinoshita Yukino would blame herself so much that she would slap herself in the face even when she woke up in the middle of the night...

Chapter 291: Selling one's body.

Li Mo could more or less sense that there was something wrong with Yukinoshita Yukino's mentality - if it were her usual self, it would be almost impossible for her to come to Li Mo for consultation unless she encountered some supernatural event. Now she was obviously in a state of confusion and anxiety.

After all, even if Yukinoshita Yukino can be considered a wealthy student, her attitude towards money on weekdays is that it is dispensable and she does not take it very seriously. But once the amount reaches hundreds of billions, no matter how much she despises money, she will feel powerless from the bottom of her heart.

"I still think the same thing,"

Li Mo spread his hands and said, "If a student wants to earn tens of billions by working part-time, either the person in charge of the Toyokawa Group is crazy, or Toyokawa Shoko herself is crazy. So it's unlikely that she really has so much debt. At most, it's just a part of it..."

"Even if it's just a small part of it, it's too much for a student to bear."

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, her expression looking somewhat heavy: "It's the kind of weight that might even drag my future life into the abyss."

The problem that stood before her was like a huge rock. For Yukinoshita Yukino, she was simply too powerless to deal with it.

If there is no way to solve the other person's predicament, no matter what you say, to Toyokawa Shoko, it will just be the arrogance of a bystander who "talks without any pain".

But the problem is that Yukinoshita Yukino currently has no way to solve this problem. Not to mention a debt of 10 billion, even if it is only 1%, 100 million yen is an opponent that the girl cannot defeat even if she tries her best.

“It’s not really completely unsolvable.”

Li Mo touched his chin.

"any solution?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked hurriedly.

"We found the con man who had defrauded Toyokawa Shoko's father and beat him repeatedly until he coughed up the money he had swindled."
