Li Mo nodded. Although the 'Divine Protection of Ravenclaw' on her did have the effect of speeding up her learning progress, the bonus brought by the Sorting Hat was minimal. It mainly depended on Gogen Ruri's own talent.
"The cat, the cat turned into a human!" Yuigahama Yui pointed at Gokou Ruri and shouted in horror.
"Senior Zhuo Tuo, who is this rude guy?" asked Ruri Gogen dissatisfiedly.
"She's a new member of our society. Like you, she's also a witch. Although she doesn't hold any spells, she has her own familiar," Li Mo patiently explained to her, "You two should get along well."
"So you're a witch too?" Hearing Li Mo's words, Yuigahama Yui immediately approached Gokou Ruri enthusiastically and shook the girl's hand, taking her by surprise. "Hello~ My name is Yuigahama Yui, what's your name?"
Forced to shake hands with her, Gokou Ruri's face was full of resistance.
But because the girl herself is as delicate as a porcelain doll, this expression of resistance does not give people the feeling of facial art, but instead adds a bit of pitiful temperament.
From Li Mo's perspective, it was like a little black cat being forced to stick to a big golden retriever.
cute.
"Just call me Black Cat. What is your familiar?" Instead of saying her own name directly, Gokou Ruri asked Yuigahama.
She struggled casually, but failed to break free from Yuigahama's hand.
"That's it."
Yuigahama gave a silly smile, and then a small snake with scales shining with colorful black light swam out from her sleeve and swam onto the girl's arm at a speed that made Gokou Ruri unable to react.
"——!!!"
Gogen Ruri instinctively shook her hands hard, throwing the little snake to the ground.
"Napoleon!" Yuigahama Yui shouted worriedly to the little snake that was thrown to the ground.
It seems that Napoleon is the name she gave to the little snake these days.
Considering that her dog's name seemed to be Sabre, Li Mo couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand: "Yuigahama, your aesthetic taste in names is a bit strange..."
Note: In fact, Sabre is one of the oldest cookies. The Napoleon mentioned by Yuigahama here is the Napoleon puff pastry cake, not the Napoleon who said "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." But Li Mo doesn't go to dessert shops so he didn't know this. He simply thought Yuigahama was a child who liked to name his pets after historical figures and had a somewhat regrettable aesthetic.
Chapter 40: Familiar
Yuigahama Yui worriedly picked up the little snake that seemed to have been thrown to the ground and was knocked unconscious. After looking it over and making sure it was not hurt, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The furious Gokou Ruri also managed to calm down - most people would probably instinctively shake their hands off when they suddenly saw a snake crawling on their arm. The level of horror would be second only to when a flying cockroach crawled up.
She was so angry that she was shaking all over, both because of the fear after being frightened and because of her own loss of composure in front of Li Mo: "Can't you take care of your own snake?"
"Sorry, Napoleon moves on his own most of the time. I can control its movements by concentrating, but that's very tiring, and I can't maintain that for long..."
Yuigahama Yui quickly apologized: "But Napoleon is a very good person and would not hurt others casually."
The black cat looked at her and the limp little snake in her hand with suspicion.
"It's not that it's obedient, but you unconsciously gave the command 'don't hurt others,'" Li Mo interrupted. "Generally speaking, there are two ways to control a familiar. One is to give it vague commands verbally or through telepathy. Different familiars will understand and execute them based on their own intelligence. The other is what you call complete control of its every move, which is basically taking over its consciousness."
"Is that so?" Yuigahama Yui tilted her head, not quite understanding.
"The mental fatigue of completely taking over its consciousness is due to insufficient running-in," Li Mo continued. "Further training is needed."
"How should we train, coach?" Yuigahama Yui asked excitedly.
"I'll tell you later. How was your relationship with your familiar before this? Has it caused any unnecessary impact on your daily life?" Li Mo asked.
"No, Napoleon is both good and smart, and not only that—"
Yuigahama Yui said happily, and took out a transparent plastic bag the size of a baby's fist from her pocket, which was filled with irregularly shaped small cookies.
Wu Geng Liuli noticed that although Li Mo had no expression, his body seemed to tense up all of a sudden, and his posture changed from slumped leisurely on the sofa to sitting upright, as if his body had reacted instinctively, allowing him to escape from danger at any time.
"Haven't you delivered the cookies you baked yet?"
"The reasons are complicated. I guess I'm still a little insecure about my baking skills, or maybe my mindset isn't up to par yet..."
"It's mainly because food safety standards haven't been met."
"That's not true," the girl complained dissatisfiedly. "These past few days, I asked Napoleon to help test the poison... No, I mean taste it!"
You yourself said it was a poison test!
Perhaps feeling the attack from Li Mo's eyes, the girl smiled awkwardly and tried to defend herself: "Although Napoleon would immediately turn upside down after eating it at first, but since yesterday, there has been no problem with the portion I baked. He even wagged his tail at me after eating it!"
"I still hope you'll tell me about this kind of thing when you're in the service club's activity room."
Li Mo sighed.
After all, at that time there was Yukinoshita Yukino who could help test the poison.
Hmm, it seems like he isn’t the only victim in the association’s hut now.
"What's wrong?" Noticing that Li Mo's eyes fell on her, Wu Geng Liuli asked curiously.
"Nothing." Li Mo smiled politely, then thought about how to get Wu Geng Liuli to eat the cookies first.
Perhaps in order to make her words more persuasive, Yuigahama Yui did not let Li Mo and the others test the poison directly this time. Instead, she woke the little snake up and gave it a piece of biscuit first.
The little snake swallowed the biscuit, which was bigger than its head, in one gulp, and then wagged its tail docilely at Yuigahama Yui.
Because it behaved so docilely and well-behaved, even Gogen Ruri no longer looked at the little snake with the initial wariness, but instead observed it more as a pet.
"...It turns out that snakes' sense of taste is so pathetic." Li Mo sighed.
"That's not true, Asakura-kun said it with some malicious intentions." Yuigahama Yui puffed out her cheeks.
She is obviously older than Gokou Ruri - both in age and in other aspects - but she acts much more childish than Gokou Ruri. However, it's okay because she's very cute.
"That's the truth. It's like someone who can devour canned herrings. If they tell you something is delicious, you'd be skeptical, right?" Wu Geng Liuli stood firmly on Li Mo's side. "Snakes naturally like to eat raw mice and other things, so their sense of taste is quite unreliable."
"Then you guys can try eating it yourself."
As she spoke, Yuigahama Yui handed the biscuits in her hand to Li Mo and Gokou Ruri.
Li Mo looked at it carefully for a moment and came to a preliminary conclusion: regardless of the taste, judging from the weight and size of the biscuit, I'm afraid this biscuit will be quite -
"so hard……"
With a toothache from the impact, Gogen Ruri twisted the biscuit, looking at the surface that was perfectly intact, without even a tooth mark. She immediately began to doubt the very concept of biscuits. "It feels more like biting a pebble than a biscuit."
"Well, actually, I'm planning to call it Rock Cake and make it into a series." Yuigahama Yui said seriously.
"It's not a naming issue, and if you think you're going to go bankrupt, stop it!"
Li Mo complained.
But then he became a little curious about the little snake that could enjoy such cookies so much: "Yuigahama, let me see your familiar."
"Go, Napoleon! Use Waterloo!"
Li Mo: “…”
Don't play anymore, Napoleon will cry.
Taking the small snake from the girl, Li Mo pinched it at about seven inches, pried open its mouth with his other hand, and inserted his fingers deep into it.
It turned out to be the case.
He had a rough idea in his mind.
"Do you still remember the space before?" she asked Yuigahama Yui.
"I won't forget it until I can eat toffee and French caramel almond shortbread," the girl replied grimly. "But it collapsed, didn't it?"
"Yes, although it's not complete yet, the space has been regenerated." Li Mo pinched the snake's vital point and handed it back to the girl: "It's in this guy's stomach."
It would be better if it could be confirmed with truthsight, but on the one hand, Li Mo hated the feeling as if a red-hot iron rod was inserted into his brain through his eye sockets and stirred a few times; on the other hand, this was not a dangerous situation at the moment, and letting the girl develop it slowly on her own might deepen the bond between her and her familiar.
"It didn't eat any of the cookies you gave it. They were all thrown into that space."
Chapter 41 System, I want this!
"Really? Every time I feed Napoleon cookies, he never resists. I thought he really likes them..."
Yuigahama Yui was shocked when she suddenly learned the truth about the world.
She stared at the little snake in Li Mo's hand angrily, and the little snake tilted its head and started pretending to be dead.
Only Gokou Ruri was confused. Feeling as if she had been excluded, she couldn't help but ask, "What space?"
"It's a bit difficult to explain, but if you actually do it..."
Li Mo muttered as he took down a bright grey ceremonial sword about sixty centimeters long from the shelf.
This is also a reward from the nameless magic book. It is difficult to carry out because it is quite eye-catching. The sword itself does not have any special abilities. It simply has a good ability to transmit magic power and can be used as a wand to assist in casting spells. Considering how conspicuous it is to carry a dagger around in modern society, it is essentially closer to a handicraft than a weapon.
Both the overall length of the ceremonial sword and the width of the hilt are much larger than the small snake.
Li Mo pinched the snake's vital point and forced it to open its mouth again, then stuffed the hilt of the sword, which was a circle larger than the snake's head, into it.
The little snake's head first hilariously changed into a shape similar to the hilt of a sword, and then its originally slender body behind the head was deformed by the dagger.
Just when Yuigahama Yui was about to lose patience with Li Mo's continued bullying of Napoleon, the little snake suddenly swallowed up the ritual sword, which was much larger than its body, in violation of the laws of physics.
Even its body had returned to its original slender shape, and it was spitting out bright red tongue as if nothing had happened.
"Swallow, swallow it! How do you feel, Asakura-san?" Yuigahama Yui said without thinking because she was too surprised.
"Try to make it spit out the sword." Li Mo threw the little snake back to Yuigahama Yui.
The latter hurriedly caught the little snake, then looked at the innocent expression on the little snake's face and didn't know what to do for a moment.
After thinking about it, the girl decided to try the simplest method first.
"Napoleon, spit out the sword you just used." The girl raised her finger and tried to look like she was preaching.
She thought she would have to try a few more times before finding the right method, but as soon as she finished speaking, the little snake opened its mouth wide and spit out the ritual dagger that had just been swallowed, intact.
"It actually works..." Yuigahama Yui looked at the dagger and just as she was about to pick it up, she found that it was covered with a lot of unknown mucus. For the sake of her own mental health, the girl finally did not take the sword, but gave the opportunity to Li Mo: "How much can Napoleon's stomach hold?"
"I'm not sure about the exact capacity, but it should be able to fit everything in this room."
Li Mo speculated.
However, just as he looked away from the little snake, he noticed Gokou Ruri staring at him with eyes that said, "Coach, I want that too!"
No, no, no, even I, the coach, don’t have such a thing!
Judging from the relevant knowledge in the nameless magic book, the Golem itself is not particularly rare. After all, the golem itself is created by magicians to guard the magician's tower or other valuable objects.
But there's something clearly special about Yuigahama Yui's Graham.
When most Grems were created, they were made based on what the wizard had around, with either cheapness or durability being the main considerations.
Yuigahama's Napoleon was able to absorb Yuigahama's magic power and open the magic space from the beginning. Even though he has been weakened to this state now, he can still open the collapsed space in his stomach again.
If Li Mo had not had enough confidence in his spell, he would have taken the opportunity to get rid of Gram.
Shouldn't space equipment be standard for the protagonist? System, you should be more powerful!
Li Mo loudly scolded his cheat in his heart.
But nothing happened.
This made Li Mo confirm once again that his own system was obviously a simple type without self-awareness.
Only after Yuigahama Yui had enough fun did she let go of the little snake that had been forced to swallow dozens of times.
She let the little snake coil around her wrist like a bracelet, then looked at Gokou Ruri curiously: "Hey... uh, classmate, what is your magic? Can you turn into a kitten?"
Wu Geng Liuli did not argue, but just put the cat doll that Li Mo gave her on the table.
Then the little doll stood up suddenly as if it had gained life, and then pounced towards Yuigahama Yui with extremely agile and swift speed!
Yuigahama Yui was so scared that she tried to block the doll in a panic, but the doll's performance was infinitely close to that of a runaway flying cockroach, and it was obviously not so easy to catch it.
Li Mo, who was standing by, found it very interesting to see Yuigahama Yui jumping on the ground - it seemed that Gokou Ryu was taking revenge for the shock she received when they just shook hands.
"Oh, this is trouble~"
As Li Mo spoke, Yuigahama Yui stopped jumping and started dancing, because the flying cockroach... Oh no, it was a kitten doll that took advantage of her inattention and crawled directly into her clothes from the corner of her clothes, causing the girl to let out a crisp scream.
She tried desperately to catch the mischievous doll in her clothes, but she couldn't catch it.
"Okay, it's over." Gogen Ruri crossed her arms over her chest and said loudly.
As she finished saying this, the kitten doll had already come to the back of Yuigahama Yui's collar. It had just tapped the back of the girl's neck with a toothpick-like weapon, as if to say, "If you don't admit defeat, I'll cut the flesh on the back of your neck."
"Kitten... so scary..."
