Gokogen Ruri: "?"
"Alright, over there, dinner's about to start, stop staring at Yui's dumplings."
Li Mo shouted to the Hanaijians, "Come over and share the chopsticks and bowls."
The two Yanaijian took the tableware leisurely under Gokou Ruri's strange gaze and happily began to distribute it to everyone.
For the sake of her own sanity, Gokou Ruri decided not to look at the two Yanami for the time being, so she shifted her gaze to the side.
In the corner of the activity room, Chihaya Asagumo was talking on the phone.
Theoretically speaking, at this distance, and given that the other person was speaking in a very low voice, Gokuru Ruri should not be able to hear what the other person was saying. But even if the spell had changed, just like Li Mo's [Snake] enhanced reaction speed and infrared vision, some of the passive abilities brought by the past spell [Cat] did not completely disappear, but became less stable than before.
At this moment, although it was not intentional, the cat's hearing, which was stronger than that of ordinary people, allowed Gokou Ruri to completely hear the words of Senior Asagumo Chihaya, and even the voice from the other end of the mobile phone microphone.
[No, you can’t stay overnight.]
I only heard a mature female voice coming from the phone: "Mom, I'm not mentally prepared to be called grandma."
Gogen Ruri: "..."
This isn't good. I feel like I heard something that shouldn't be heard casually...
So the girl shifted her gaze to the side near the window.
There was a pink-haired girl over there trying to strike up a conversation with Yukinoshita Yukino, who was reading a book in a cold manner. But no matter how the pink-haired girl took the initiative to communicate, the latter always managed to end the conversation with short words. Yuigahama Yui, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know whether to persuade the pink-haired girl not to continue teasing Yukinoshita Yukino, or to ask Yukino to be more friendly.
Ruri Gokou watched with interest for a moment. The interaction between the pink straight-haired girl and Yukinoshita Yukino reminded her of a cute video she had seen on YouTube, in which a friendly golden retriever patiently harassed a cool ragdoll cat.
Once this idea came into her mind, the more she watched the interaction between the two, the more she felt that way, which made Gokou Ruri feel a lot more relaxed.
After a while, she withdrew her gaze contentedly and looked at Li Mo again.
As the only boy present, Li Mo was responsible for putting all the desks together to form a long table.
Originally, this should be considered a very physically demanding job, but now even Yanami has been exposed to the other side of the world. Now that things have come to this, Li Mo naturally doesn't need to continue pretending to be a Muggle.
"【snake】"
He changed the legs of the desks into the shape of snakes, and the idle desks began to crawl darkly on the ground like some kind of strange octopuses.
Yanai, who was completely unprepared, screamed in fear and almost broke the plates. Fortunately, Li Mo, whose reaction speed was seven times that of an ordinary person, quickly slid and caught the plates one by one with a juggling move.
"oh oh……"
Yuigahama Yui and Chihaya Aine both clapped their hands in admiration, and Li Mo proudly bowed to everyone in acknowledgment.
At this time, the desks with snake legs finally crawled to the designated position in a dark way. As the spell was broken, the desks returned to their original appearance and fit together so perfectly.
Then Li Mo took out a long tablecloth from somewhere and spread it on the desks. Suddenly, from the outside, one could only see a long table that looked quite like a cafeteria. It was impossible to tell that it was made of desks.
Then Li Mo put the plate on the table. He clapped his hands lightly, and suddenly many things appeared on the empty long table.
Because the Ministry of Magic rarely holds such a banquet, Li Mo spent a lot of money this time and cleared out most of the ingredients in the elf kitchen.
In addition to the promised beef stew in red wine, Provençal stew, bouillabaisse and Lorraine quiche, there were also roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, pea sprouts, Yorkshire puddings, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, fried potato chips...
“Why are there so many potatoes?”
Gokou Ruri asked in confusion.
Because the chef is a British elf, Li Moxin said.
"Isn't it normal for a banquet to have lots of potatoes?"
Chihaya Aine, who had subtly adapted to the British diet, asked back in confusion.
“The amount of meat and vegetables is too unbalanced.”
Yukinoshita Yukino frowned. She always ate light food.
"Potatoes are vegetables too."
Li Mo said.
“That can be considered a staple food in many places.”
Yukinoshita retorted casually without taking it seriously.
"Aren't there pea shoots?"
Chihaya Aine said happily, then she poked something on another plate with her chopsticks and asked Li Mo: "By the way, what is this?"
"Mint hard candy."
Li Mo replied.
"Why would there be a plate of mint candies on a banquet table?"
The girl asked in surprise and curiosity.
The correct answer is I don’t know.
After all, Li Mo really doesn't know much about British cuisine.
To say the least, he didn't know much about the tastes of house-elves.
"Maybe it's for clearing your mouth when you're tired of eating?"
Li Mo rubbed his chin and guessed, then he looked at the others and found that they were all looking at him.
So Li Mo scratched his head: "Forget it, let's eat first!"
The two Yanami cheered together.
Chapter 364: Chat at the Table.
"Oh, this grilled steak is delicious! The mashed potatoes are delicious too! The beef stew is delicious too... By the way, can beef tendon be made so soft?"
Yana said happily, seeing her mouth full of food.
In a sense, she can be considered gifted because she can still speak with her cheeks puffed up.
"Just stew it long enough, right? I'm actually curious about what Xingcai's stewed beef tendon tastes like..."
Yuigahama Yui asked curiously.
"It's hard and a little fishy, but it's not inedible if you chew it carefully."
"...To put it another way, is there anything Xingcai can't eat?"
"Yes, Yui, yes!"
Holding chicken legs in both hands, Xingcai Weasley looked as if he was thinking of something he couldn't bear to recall. His eyes became empty and distant: "At that time, I was still a very naive child -"
"It feels like a long story is about to begin..."
Yuigahama Yui complained.
"At that time, I didn't know how treacherous people could be. I just believed what I heard on TV about humans having strong adaptability..."
Yanami recalled in a detached tone.
"Although not as good as tardigrades and cockroaches, even including mice, humans' ability to adapt to the environment is indeed quite strong among vertebrates."
Li Mo, who had been listening to the interaction between the two from the beginning, interrupted.
"That's not the case, Asakura-kun."
Yanaijian shook his head and continued, "Just like if you eat too many mandarin oranges, your skin will turn yellow, if you eat too many chili peppers, it will turn red, and if you eat too much oleander, it will turn green—"
"The last one turned green for some other reason, right?"
Li Mo complained.
Yuigahama Yui looked at the girl with a look of deep satisfaction and couldn't help asking, "So, what did you eat, Xingna?"
"There was a cooking drama on TV at the time. The protagonist was a sashimi expert who could make sea bream sashimi, put the bones back into the tank, and the fish would keep swimming."
The girl said.
Another Yanami chimed in, "It's natural to want to make your own sashimi after watching a TV show like that, right? But the problem is, at the time, all I had were green beans..."
Li Mo: "..."
Yanami A: "Although the green bean sashimi is delicious, the feeling of being poisoned is still a bit uncomfortable..."
Yanaijian B: "It has a crunchy texture, but after eating it I felt dizzy and nauseous..."
"It actually tastes good? No, you knew it was poisonous if eaten raw, yet you still ate it?!"
Li Mo was shocked.
“The person I respect most is the first person in the world to eat tomatoes when everyone else thought they were poisonous!”
The girl said seriously, "No, I should say that I have the same respect for everyone who dares to try new ingredients, the first person to eat a tomato, the first person to eat crab... ah, except for the first person to drink milk."
"Don't confuse the past with the present!"
"So please give me a bowl full of beef!"
The two Yanami handed their bowls to Li Mo, who was closer to the Burgundy red wine beef stew, in perfect sync. "I also want to taste Gorbachev's communism~"
"What's the point of tasting? This isn't beef stew with potatoes."
Although he said this, Li Mo still scooped a bowl of beef stew for Yanami. Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting opposite him, was also very considerate and helped the other Yanami to serve a portion, which made Yanami No. 2 feel a little flattered.
"Thank you~"
The girls took the bowls and started eating without caring about their ladylike image at all.
It feels like after this guy encountered the supernatural phenomenon, he didn't know whether to say he gave up on himself or let himself go.
Li Mo sighed and decided to ignore them. He turned to talk to Wu Geng Liuli who was looking at the food on the table with a look of "Can these be taken away?"
"Liuli, how's your spell going?"
"It's still the same as before,"
The girl said in a somewhat reserved tone, "That's not entirely true. There have been some subtle changes that are hard to explain, but I still don't have the same sense of control I once had."
If someone was not familiar with Gokou Ruri, they would probably think that she was having a chuunibyou episode, after all, she always appeared to be having chuunibyou episodes. However, Li Mo could feel that she was just using this method to cover up her loss.
"That's it..."
It seems that her spell has not yet been fully transformed.
Li Mo didn't have much to do about this. He could only ask the girl to come here more frequently. With him in charge, he could control the magic power in the girl's body to some extent, so that the magic power would not go out of control due to excessive accumulation before the spell was fully transformed.
Suddenly, Yanaijian next to Li Mo picked up the largest piece of beef from his bowl, stretched out his arm with chopsticks, passed Li Mo and put it into Wu Geng Liuli's bowl.
The other Yanami gave a bamboo wheel to Gokou Ruri.
Today's dishes are obviously all Western-style, so where on earth did this guy get the bamboo rolls from? Li Mo complained crazily in his mind.
“When you’re feeling down, eating something delicious can cheer you up!”
Yanaijian, who obviously didn't notice Li Mo's criticism, said happily, with a bright smile on his face that seemed to be able to drive away the dark clouds in the sky: "I'll let you taste my secret white sauce when I have the chance!"
"Really? Let me look forward to it for now."
Gogen Ruri was stunned for a moment, then spoke arrogantly with a slightly raised tone, but the faint smile on her face made it clear that her mood had improved a lot.
Then she asked Yanami: "By the way, I returned the uniform you lent me before. You should have tried it on, right? How does it feel? If there's anything wrong, I can modify it."
"Well, how should I put it? There's nothing wrong with it anywhere else. It's even more comfortable than before I lent it to you. The only thing is that it feels a little tight around my chest. I can't breathe if I move a little."
Yanami said sincerely, "But I understand. After all, this uniform has been modified to suit your body shape, right? It's not like you can't wear it for now."
Gogen Ruri: "..."
I can’t say it, actually I have changed the chest part back, and even deliberately enlarged it a little bit, I can’t say it at all!
It would be better to ask why this Muggle predecessor developed so quickly!
Damn it, I really want to turn her into a cat!
Chapter 365: Fell asleep.
Not long after the dinner ended, the others said goodbye and went home one after another.
After all, it was already quite late, and even Chihaya Asagumo had to leave the activity room reluctantly under the strange gaze of Ruri Gokou.
"what happened?"
