The losers in daily youth have all become witches

"Anyway, it's almost dark, so most people won't be able to see it. Even if we were photographed, netizens would complain that the picture quality is like a door lock, and there would be video bloggers who would come out and deny that we are kites or something like that."

Li Mo didn't care: "Compared to this boring thing, look."

The girl looked in the direction he pointed:

The light of sunset faded, and at the devilish hour of dusk, the waves of Chiba Port in the distance were crushing the last noise of the day into millions of pieces of silver foil.

The skyline looked like a wound slashed diagonally by an unknown evil god. Red-gold light rushed out from the gap, burning the clouds into translucent glass, and even the breath was tinged with amber warmth.

The setting sun fell very slowly, and the clouds spread out on the dome like ink-black violet, but the edges suddenly cracked into a few scarlet streaks, which were the last echoes of the daytime's afterglow.

When the sun finally touched the sea, the entire ocean suddenly boiled into liquid fire. Tiny glittering lights danced on the crests of the waves, flickering with the rise and fall of the waves like stardust scattered across the night sky.

As dusk deepened, the evening breeze brought the salty sound of the tide. At the moment when the last golden thread was drawn into the deep sea, everything seemed to have come to an end and returned to the tranquility of the night.

The magnificent painting made the girl speechless for a long time. When everything was settled, she let out a sigh as if she was finally able to breathe again.

"so beautiful……"

"Right? You don't usually see this kind of scene on the ground."

Li Mo said proudly.

"Before this scene, where the sky, the ocean, and the vast urban landscape intertwine, I feel as if everything about me has become insignificant, and even my worries seem insignificant..."

Gokou Ruri said softly.

Although she still couldn't let it go, the girl did feel much better than before.

Moreover, the people I admire have come here specially to comfort me with something that ordinary people may not be able to do in their entire lives. What is there to be dissatisfied about?

Even if I really lost the ability to cast spells, at least I had that wonderful past, and my life can be considered very exciting...

"Oh, yes, about your troubles,"

Li Mo suddenly said: "It's the one where the spell suddenly lost its effect."

The girl who was staring at the sea in a trance came back to her senses and turned to look at Li Mo in confusion, not knowing what he was going to say.

"That shouldn't be the spell you understand being taken away by the weird. Although He is your mystery, He is not completely consistent with the essence of mystery."

Li Mo explained.

After all, Li Mo had confirmed that most of the vitality of other patients whose vitality had been drained by the human-faced sore was returned after he crushed the evil god's fetus (in addition to what was consumed, a part of it was probably used by the evil god's followers to strengthen Aragaki Ayase's body). So theoretically, the secret that was stolen from Gokou Ruri should also return to her. Li Mo felt that the reason why she was unable to cast spells was probably similar to that of Aragaki Ayase.

He said, "Rather, after your mystic was used as the magical foundation for the birth of a higher-dimensional being, the previously solidified part of you was stimulated and began to activate, causing the manifestation of the spell to undergo a metaphysical change. This led to a misconception of your understanding of the spell, and ultimately made it impossible to trigger the spell."

The girl looked confused, probably not understanding what Li Mo meant.

"in short,"

So Li Mo changed his explanation to something simpler and clearer: "Your spell didn't disappear, but it was upgraded... or awakened into a higher-level spell. So you have to start from scratch to accept and familiarize yourself with your spell, instead of still using it according to the spell [Cat]."

He gave the girl a thumbs up and smiled brightly: "Don't worry, I will help you as always."

"Senior Takumi..."

The girl said in a deep voice, her tone unable to tell whether she was happy or sad.

"what happened?"

Li Mo asked.

"Why don't you just tell me this before you try to comfort me?"

The girl stared at Li Mo with her cute dead fish eyes.

“…Hey.”

Li Mo imitated the expression of the Great Teacher, stuck out his tongue and knocked his head.

“‘Eh hey~’ what the hell——!”

Gokou Ruri still looked angry.

Li Mo not only did not feel guilty but instead had a subtle sense of accomplishment. After all, this child always pretended to be mature and deep, and it was quite rare to see such a cute expression as the one he had now.

Gogen Liuli seemed to have noticed something from the upturned corner of Li Mo's mouth, and suddenly became even angrier.

"Wow, stop it! We're over three hundred meters in the air now. It would be terrible if we fell... No, it's not us who's in danger, it's the innocent people we're afraid of falling."

"Damn it, my previous worries and sadness were nothing!"

"This is your punishment for not replying to my message."

"Gu..."

Chapter 321 Is this still the Ayase I know?

Aragaki family.

The June sunlight leaked through the window screens, and golden dust floated in the beams of light with the Tyndall effect. The patterns of the reed mats on the tatami were tanned into a honey color.

In the clear blue sky outside the window, clouds are scattered like cotton candy in the clarity. Not far away on the street, probably in the direction of a convenience store, the loudspeaker is playing the latest hit song "Here, The World!" by the popular girl group Sumimi.

The girl, the owner of the room, sat upright on the bed, enjoying the care from others.

"Ayase, are you really okay?"

Kousaka Kirino asked her best friend who was half-sitting on the bed with concern.

"Kirito, you worry too much. You said everything is fine."

Aragaki Ayase said with her usual gentle smile: "You can go to school normally tomorrow."

"It's not a question of whether or not to worry."

Kousaka Kirino said angrily: "Mass hysteria... It's amazing that those experts could come up with this. Ayase, why don't you tell me what happened..."

As early as two days ago, the disappearance or disappearance incident had been officially concluded. A group of experts and professors were invited to say that the missing children had unknowingly gathered in the Chiba Port Tower, which was temporarily closed to tourists due to equipment maintenance, due to mass hysteria and sleepwalking-like behavior. It was fortunate that they were not involved in the subsequent natural gas explosion.

"Sorry Kirino,"

Aragaki Ayase showed a perfectly apologetic look on her face: "Some things are not as simple as you think - after all, the people from the city hall just left not long ago."

Kousaka Kirino was silent for a moment, then muttered in a somewhat annoyed tone: "I know, really... they must have signed a confidentiality agreement or something, right? So those council members and the like are unreliable, and Japan's future is over... Oh, sorry, I wasn't talking about my uncle."

Misled by Aragaki Ayase's attitude of "the disappearance case involves some important person so we can't talk about it casually", "the matter is complicated and I don't want to involve you, Kirino", and "those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand won't understand even if I tell them", Kousaka Kirino sighed and decided not to pursue the matter any further. After all, as a junior high school student, the most daring thing she had done in her life was to play porn, which is not allowed for minors, without telling her father. The situation her friend was facing was obviously a bit beyond her scope.

However, it cannot be said to be completely misleading, because the city hall does have a similar intention: if the relatives of the missing persons want to claim compensation from the authorities on the grounds of "mismanagement of Chiba Port Tower", then the results of the investigation into the natural gas explosion may be related to the children they have finally found.

There's a sense of "If you don't want to be fined a huge sum, just shut up and don't cause trouble" in his words.

Aragaki Ayase even felt that if her father had not been a member of the House of Representatives with some reputation, and if the parents of the other children involved in the disappearance case had not had some power, this matter would not have been so easy to uncover.

However, no matter how much the authorities investigate, this matter will probably not produce any results.

After all, everything that happened that day was beyond the comprehension of normal people.

Even now, when I think back to what happened that day, I still feel like I'm in a dream.

"Ayase? Ayase!"

"what?"

Aragaki Ayase came to her senses and found that Kousaka Kirino was looking at her worriedly.

"You're still feeling a little unwell, aren't you? You suddenly became dazed for no apparent reason just now."

Kousaka Kirino asked worriedly, obviously very worried about her best friend's health.

"No, nothing, really. I'm almost well now."

Aragaki Ayase hurriedly comforted her.

It can't be said that the reason she stared at her phone in a daze was just because the adult hadn't contacted her after so many days, so she started to have some wild thoughts, right?

Kirino carefully studied the other person's expression for a moment, making sure there was nothing unusual before talking about other things.

"The magazine's agent and photographer are very worried about your situation, but they also understand your difficulties, so it's no problem for you to take a long vacation. You can come back whenever you've rested well."

Aragaki Ayase listened to her absentmindedly, but her mind couldn't help but drift to the 'prince' who had saved her...

Could it be that the other party is still busy saving others and therefore has no time to contact me?

It's also possible that the lord judged that he was under surveillance from the city hall, so he deliberately avoided contact. After all, the lord looked like the kind of samurai who only appeared in stories, would not accept official supervision, and would only act alone to fight for justice;

It can't be that I just forgot, right?

"Ayase? Ayase!"

Kousaka Kirino's voice once again brought Aragaki Ayase's mind back to reality from her wild fantasy.

"I'm listening, I'm listening,"

Aragaki Ayase came back to her senses with a gentle smile that came naturally to her, "Kirito has grown again, right? I can always go buy you new underwear."

"Not only was he not listening, but he was also trying to get by with some strange topics..."

Kousaka Kirino stared at Aragaki Ayase with eyes as dull as those of a dead fish, trying to see some clues from her friend's face.

"Hey, Kirino, don't you need new underwear?..."

Ayase showed a very innocent surprise expression: "I thought Kirino was similar to me... No, it's nothing, please don't worry about it."

"You're taking my feelings too seriously, which makes me overly concerned!"

Kousaka Kirino rushed over in dissatisfaction and started to playfully joke with Aragaki Ayase: "Damn it, how come your figure has become better after being missing for a few days!"

"Quick, stop it!"

Aragaki Ayase let out a shy moan, but her beautiful appearance made Kousaka Kirino even more excited.

"What does it matter? We are all girls anyway..."

As soon as Kousaka Kirino finished speaking, she was surprised to find that Aragaki Ayase pulled her away from her very easily.

You know, in the past, purely in terms of motor skills, he was much stronger than this quiet friend, but now it seemed different: "... Ouch, Ayase, that hurts a little, can you let go of me?"

"Really, Kirino, even though we're all girls, there are things we can and can't do."

Aragaki Ayase said seriously.

"Hey, can we reconcile?"

Kousaka Kirino whispered after trying to struggle a few times but finding that she was completely unable to break free.

"It's okay if you know you're wrong."

"Simi Masai..."

"That's a very insincere apology."

Although Aragaki Ayase said this, she still let go of her hand.

At this time, the girl's cell phone rang.

So, Kousaka Kirino, who was rubbing her wrists and feeling quite miserable, saw that her best friend's expression changed from dissatisfaction to incomparable brightness in just a moment.

She looked at the other person in astonishment: Is this still the Ayase I know?

Chapter 322: One session per issue.

Aragaki Ayase had no idea that her best friend was shaken by discovering a new side of her.

However, if Kousaka Kirino was present, she naturally couldn't pay too much attention to her mobile phone. She could only take the time to glance at the screen in the middle of chatting with Kousaka Kirino to confirm that the message was from Asakura-kun.

Kousaka Kirino was still babble-ing about school, while Ayase's fingertips unconsciously stroked the embroidery of the quilt cover, her eyes occasionally drifting towards the phone, which had been unresponsive since a while ago.

"Are your eyes hurting Ayase? Do you want to try this?"

Perhaps noticing that Ayase wasn't particularly interested in her topic, Kousaka Kirino suddenly pulled out a steam eye mask from her canvas bag, startling Ayase. "This is a secret to relieving fatigue after a modeling shoot~ I just discovered it recently."

She rocked a packaging bag emblazoned with a subtly revealing image of a lolita (with the words "True Sister Annihilation" written in barely legible calligraphy on the side), her nail polish glistening like mother-of-pearl in the light.

Ayase pinched the edge of the hot eye mask, looking at the little girl's panties exposed on it, and her face was full of dislike for wearing it: "Um... Doesn't Kirino have work at the magazine today?"

"We filmed a lot last week, so there's no need to report there for now."

Kirino answered casually, and seeing that Aragaki Ayase seemed quite resistant to wearing the blue and white striped little lolita eyepatch on her face, she couldn't help but put it away with regret: "Besides, this week's theme doesn't suit me. I need something with a hot girl feel."

"Wouldn't that suit Kirino perfectly?"

"No, my level isn't good enough. They seem to be going for the Shibuya-kei style."
