"It's not your fault, Yuigahama-san." Yukinoshita Yukino comforted her.
"No, it's Yuigahama's fault. As the master of the barrier, she still has magic in her body, so she can survive for a long time in that space. But you, Yukinoshita, are just an ordinary person. Even if you can fill your stomach with sweets, you can only last five days without water."
But Li Mo cruelly laid the facts before them: "If I hadn't happened to know about this, rushed over to check it out, and happened to have the ability to solve the problem, then the two of you would have most likely disappeared, becoming a new urban legend."
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxue... I..." Yuigahama Yui bit her cherry lips in panic and self-blame, her eyes sparkling as if pearls were about to fall out.
Yukinoshita could only pat her back comfortingly.
She was also a little scared, but she knew that Yuigahama Yui didn't do it on purpose, and it was more like an accident, so she didn't mean to blame her. She just looked at Li Mo again: "Then Asakura, do you have any way to prevent Yuigahama from doing this again?"
"Don't worry, I can't really just give up now that things have come to this."
Li Mo said rather casually: "Yuigahama, you should also join the Chiba Magic Society."
"……what."
Only then did Yukinoshita Yukino understand what Li Mo's club name, which sounded silly at first, meant.
"If I just join Asakura-san's society, can my condition be cured?" The pink-haired girl looked at Li Mo expectantly.
"Call me Master."
"Master..." Yuigahama Yui sniffed, feeling that compared to the last time when she was called a little more respectfully, this time she felt like she was acting like a spoiled child, which made her feel shy and blush.
Li Mo nodded with satisfaction. "No, it's that as long as you join, our club will have three members and can be upgraded to a formal club, with a school budget available."
Yuigahama Yui: "..."
At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino thought of something else: "Could it be that Yanaijian classmate also..."
"No, she's just an ordinary person," Li Mo said bluntly, "I tricked her into coming in by offering her snacks."
Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."
Don't be so confident and say it's a lie!
"Anyway, take this first."
Li Mo threw the small snake in his hand to Yuigahama Yui, who was originally immersed in self-blame and shyness. She suddenly received a snake and subconsciously wanted to throw it away, but then the feeling as if the snake was connected to her blood made her stop.
"But isn't this the culprit who almost killed Xiaoxue..."
"Grem is just an alchemical lifeform after all. I've placed something like a seal on it, and it's now your familiar." Li Mo explained, "Besides, rather than leaving it alone and letting it accumulate a large amount of magic power with nowhere to release it, it's better to have an outlet to keep it within a safe range."
To make his argument more convincing, Li Mo gave an example: "I have a friend who ran around in Qianye Fruit for an entire afternoon after going berserk due to excessive accumulation of magic power."
Yuigahama Yui sucked in a breath of cold air, tightly gripping the little snake's cold body, not daring to let go, causing the latter to look like a dead dog that was about to be squeezed to death.
And Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Li Mo subtly.
The friend you are talking about, could it be you?
Chapter 34 Real Problems
Facing the application for joining the club handed over by Li Mo, Yuigahama Yui glanced calmly at Yukinoshita Yukino beside her. Seeing that the other party had no reaction, she gritted her teeth and wrote her name on it as if signing a contract to sell herself.
After Li Mo accepted the indenture, or rather, the application form, he nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Then there's only one remaining problem."
"What?" Yuigahama Yui asked stupidly.
"How are you going to explain your three days of disappearance to the school and your parents?"
"……what."
Yuigahama Yui was stunned when she realized that she was facing a big problem.
Yes, how can I explain my disappearance these past few days?
"Well...like if I accidentally overslept...or something like that?" the girl said tremblingly.
"Is this an excuse for being late?"
"Oh, it really doesn't work? Then I was captured by a monster and locked up for three days... This kind of thing can't be revealed to others, right?" The girl observed Li Mo's expression and asked cautiously.
"You can say that."
"Huh, is it okay?" The girl was surprised, and even Yukinoshita Yukino beside her showed a surprised expression.
Li Mo spread his hands: "Of course, but after that, I can't control which mental hospital you're admitted to. By the way, can I use French caramel almond shortbread as a gift for visiting the patient?"
"I don't want to see that again in half a year..."
The girl muttered dejectedly.
Then she looked at Yukinoshita Yukino: "Xiaoxue, do you have any good suggestions?"
After a moment's silence, Yukinoshita said in a tone that didn't sound at all like a joke, "I ran away from home because I was disappointed with humans and wanted to find the promised land in my heart. I rely on my own body to walk in this materialistic world."
"Although, I'm not sure, but it seems to be very powerful..." Yuigahama Yui was shocked.
"They are collectively called divine servant girls." Yukinoshita Yukino continued expressionlessly.
"No way! Xiaoxue, what on earth do you think of me?"
"Shaving, and then picking up the pink fur ball."
"Even Asakura-san is saying something weird like that... By the way, what are these delicious-sounding pink-haired dumplings?"
Yuigahama Yui cried out with tears in her eyes.
Perhaps disturbed by her voice, the little snake, which had been very quiet until now, raised its body in her hands and looked at the girl straight in the eyes like a cobra gazing at its prey.
The girl's body suddenly stiffened, and she looked at the little snake with a nervous expression and a bit of strange anticipation.
"Don't be afraid, it is your familiar. It should obey your orders completely and will not attack you actively. It is very safe." Li Mo comforted.
"But didn't it punch me in that place?"
Although they were all blocked by Li Mo.
"...Yuigahama, do you know there's a saying that goes 'things resemble their owners'?" Li Mo said confidently.
"Asakura-kun, are you saying it possesses a noble soul like mine, one that breaks free from the shackles of class and common sense, and upholds freedom and equality within its heart?"
"No, I think he just said your familiar isn't very smart."
Yukinoshita Yukino complained.
"Buddy?!" Yuigahama Yui looked at Li Mo in shock.
"Wow, that stain on the ceiling is really a stain~" the latter began to pretend to look at the scenery.
Yuigahama Yui was in tears.
The little snake in her hand seemed to be a little tired of being pinched by the other party, so it simply swam away from the girl's hand and crawled into her clothes pocket amid the girl's screams.
"Anyway, it's hard to get through no matter what you say. The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Otherwise, it's better to just remain silent about your experiences during this period." Yukinoshita Yukino suggested: "Refusing to negotiate is also a form of negotiation."
"Indeed, if you skip class for one day, the school won't know where you are. If you disappear for two days, the school will be angry about your behavior. If you disappear for three days, then the school will be worried. The fact that you can show up safely is already good news for them."
Li Mo nodded.
"Is this how we can deal with it?" Yuigahama Yui asked expectantly.
Li Mo and Yukinoshita Yukino looked at each other.
"No." "Not likely."
It’s not so difficult to deal with the school, but it’s easy to be tortured by Shizuka Hiratsuka.
The key point is that this is a reflection of Shizuka Hiratsuka's seriousness and responsibility. From the student's perspective, it is difficult to blame the other party.
"Then don't tell me such an exciting proposal in the first place..." said the pink-haired girl with a sad face.
"So at times like this, this comes in handy."
Li Mo raised the application for membership in his hand and said, "A girl disappeared for three days and immediately joined a strange supernatural club after returning to school. What do you think others would think?"
"She was bullied by the president of that supernatural club and was forced to become their errand boy." Yukinoshita Yukino said, with an expression full of 'So you know that your club is weird'.
"Huh, is it going to turn out like this?" Yuigahama Yui looked at Li Mo worriedly.
"Of course it's not as bad as some dark-hearted guy thinks, but some of the pressure will indeed come to me." Li Mo gave her a thumbs up and made an expression that said 'no problem, watch my final transformation'.
"But won't Asakura-san be uncomfortable like this?" Yuigahama Yui was still worried: "Is this really okay..."
"Don't look at me like this. I'm actually very capable of withstanding pressure." Li Mo nodded.
"Asakura-san..." The girl looked at Li Mo with tears in her eyes.
"It can probably withstand a maximum of 18 standard atmospheric pressures." Li Mo confirmed seriously.
"That's the level of physical resistance! Isn't this the level of a normal person?"
"No, it's the level of an excellent diver."
Li Mo continued seriously, "I'm very good at lurking in social groups!"
"These two dives don't mean the same thing!"
When she remembered that she had joined the other club, the pink-haired girl began to feel that her future was going to be difficult.
At this time, a dog's head popped out from under the sofa.
"Ah, Sabre!" The girl happily hooked her finger at the dog's head: "Suck suck suck~"
Yukinoshita Yukino tried hard to swallow back her scream of "Ah!"
The dachshund named Sabre first happily crawled out of the sofa and ran towards its owner, but after running two steps, it turned around and crawled back into the sofa, revealing its head again, but this time it put its paws on its nose, and its face looked uncomfortable.
"Why don't you go take a shower? Being cooped up in that kind of place for three days is indeed a bit... um..." Li Mo showed an awkward but polite smile with high emotional intelligence.
Yuigahama Yui's girlish heart was severely hurt. She stumbled like a zombie, dragging the equally "smelly" Yukinoshita Yukino into the bathroom.
By the time they realized they had forgotten to bring a change of clothes, they were already halfway through washing.
Chapter 35 Ends
"Um, um... Asakura-san, can you help me get my clothes?" Yuigahama Yui's shy voice came from the bathroom.
The melodious sound echoed in the small bathroom, becoming somewhat ethereal as if obscured by steam.
"My room is the first one on the left on the second floor."
"Okay." Li Mo, who was playing with the dachshund, responded.
"…Is it my illusion? Why does Asakura-san sound so happy?" Yuigahama Yui's somewhat confused voice came, as if she was a little uneasy about Li Mo's response, which did not have any hesitation or nervousness that an adolescent boy should have.
"Yuigahama, do you know what the happiest thing is when playing an RPG game and acting as a hero?" Li Mo asked casually.
"I don't know. I've never played that kind of game... Is it the joy of defeating the devil and saving the world?"
"No, it's when you can legally rummage through people's homes."
"...I beg you, Asakura-san, just take the clothes from the closet. If all else fails, a bath towel will do. Don't rummage through anything else!"
"I see. The key points are inside the bookcase, under the bed, and under the TV, right?"
"Why did you find it so quickly?!" Yuigahama Yui cried out.
Even Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but complain: "Why is it that the place where you hide things, Yuigahama-san, looks so much like an adolescent boy..."
"It was all Sabre's fault." Li Mo said without hesitation.
"Woof?!" The dachshund dog that was playing happily with Li Mo just now was surprised.
"Don't put the blame on my dog! ...Asakura-san, are you still there?"
"He's probably gone upstairs." said Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Damn it, Xiaoxue, you're so calm. It's a good thing we're not at your house..."
"Even in my house he can't find anything strange."
"As expected of Xiaoxue~"
"Because anything I've seen that I don't want others to know will be disposed of by me personally."
"Ahaha, Xiaoxue, you have to be kidding, right?"
"..."
"Tell me I was just kidding! Xiaoxue looks so serious! She's so scary!"
