The losers in daily youth have all become witches

Li Mo sat up. He didn't know when the fox he had called to be his mattress had slipped away. He felt a little sore in his back from sleeping on the hard chair bed.

He glanced at the gloomy sky and wanted to wake Yanami up, but when he saw Yanami, who was supposed to be sleeping not far from him, he was stunned.

“Huh~”

Perhaps she noticed Li Mo's movement, the girl yawned loudly and opened her eyes slightly, but the sleepiness in her eyes was still strong.

Probably because of her bad sleeping posture, unlike last night when she was curled up in the sleeping bag like a big silkworm pupa, most of her body was sticking out of the sleeping bag, her head was full of curly hair, and her clothes were wrinkled, smooth and thin... and her plump belly was exposed to the air. It was a scene of sudden spring light, but it made people feel no lust at all. In a sense, this was the unique ability of the stupid beauty Yanami.

However, what shocked Li Mo was not just the girl's terrible sleeping posture.

"what time is it now?"

"I don't know~"

"It's not even daybreak yet, maybe I can catch a nap."

"I agree. Five minutes of staying in bed in the morning is more valuable than an hour of going to bed early at night."

"It looks like it's raining outside. It might actually be seven or eight o'clock now."

"Hmm, a strange ceiling... Oh, it seemed like yesterday..."

"Hey, Asakura-san's voice sounds weird, like a girl..."

"From just now,"

Li Mo, who was silent for a long time, said: "I didn't say a word."

"Eh?"

Yanai was stunned. She and the person she had just talked to looked at each other for a moment, and the sleepiness in her eyes instantly disappeared.

"Eeh?! Why am I still here?!"

Then, they both made silly expressions in sync: "This scene looks a little familiar..."

"It looks like you're split again."

Li Mo frowned, took out his cell phone and made a call.

The two Yanami's cell phones rang at the same time.

"Don't answer it."

He said to the two of them, causing the two Yanami to pause as they were about to take out their phones.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Yana's panicked voice came from the receiver.

[Oh no! A new me has appeared today! ]

"No, you're the new guy! I was already here yesterday!"

[You're lying. I'm sleeping on the bed and you're under it. Doesn't that mean I'm the real one?]

[I was kicked off the bed by your terrible sleeping posture, okay! ]

「You’re not much better, even your pajamas are──」

「Waaaaaah, what are you talking about? Asakura-san is still listening on the other end of the line! 」

【Hmm, what should I do now?】

[It would be terrible if my parents found out! ]

Very good, it seems that it’s not just the school, even Yanami who went home yesterday has become a Yanami.

Li Mo thought deeply for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Tell me more about the underwear."

[No, no, no, this isn’t the point! ]

"No way! So Asakura-san is such a pervert? 】

"Please say you have a passionate heart... I was just kidding. Anyway, calm down and don't let your families find out. I'll go get you."

As he spoke, Li Mo still tried to make the best of a bad situation and was optimistic, thinking that this at least proved that this abnormal phenomenon had nothing to do with the school.

After hanging up the phone, he found that the confusion on the faces of the two Yanami beside him, who had just woken up from sleep, had disappeared, and was replaced by worry and anxiety - to be honest, it was quite new to see this expression on Yanami's face.

Originally, after last night's bedtime talk, the girl had actually been somewhat relieved about the current situation. However, she did not expect such a situation to occur today. Not only did the situation not get better, but it got worse.

It's normal for her to feel uneasy about this.

So Li Mo put away his phone and said seriously: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"But……"

Yanaijian and the others looked at each other, obviously not comforted.

"Don't look at me like this, but as I said before, I've already solved many supernatural problems, some of which were world-class troubles. It's just a mere proliferation of Yanami. Don't be so arrogant!"

Li Mo said with a smile.

"Don't treat people like strange mold..."

Yanami grumbled, but the tone of his complaints still sounded a little powerless.

"Then let's talk about the things I can reveal first. The number of people itself isn't a problem. Whether it's two or four Yanami doesn't matter... Actually, I've been thinking about the solution since yesterday. Now I just lack some necessary conditions."

Li Mo made a mysterious 'hush' gesture: "But if I tell you about mysticism, it might not be effective, so please allow me to keep it a secret for now."

"Isn't it a curse that turns the loser into a snake after we play rock-paper-scissors?"

Yanai asked suspiciously.

"How ridiculous... So the so-called solution isn't 'a solution to the problem' but 'a solution to our problems'?"

Another Yanami also expressed his opinion.

"Let's not even mention that I was just joking yesterday. Even if I really intended to do this, if this proliferation continues, the entire island nation will be overrun by snakes in just a month or so."

Li Mo shook his head. "Besides, a future where you have to play rock-paper-scissors the moment you wake up, and your life ends immediately if you lose, and you have to keep winning to survive, is too hopeless. Every day you have to wait anxiously for doom to come. Instead of tormenting yourself like that, maybe just dying would be happier."

The prisoners of Azkaban are not that anti-human.

"So just stay here quietly. I have to go get the other two Yanami. Besides that, there are some preparations to do."

Li Mo assured the two: "Don't leave the activity room before I come back..."

"Um...can't we just go wash up?"

"And picking flowers..."

The two Yanais with silly hair on their heads saw the hesitation and asked shyly.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and clapped his hands: "Oh, as for the toilet, you two can take turns going."

"Don't be so stupid as to say that!"

"So that's what you're not good at, Asakura-kun!"

Chapter 367: Uneasy

"This is really..."

Even though she had received advance notice from Li Mo in the Line group (the group name was 'Anti-Yanami Countermeasures Headquarters', Yanami: Why does my name sound like a monster?), when Yukinoshita Yukino came to the activity room, she was startled by the four identical Yanami in the room.

She considered her words for a moment before continuing, "Spectacular."

Yana saw people greeting her, but Yukinoshita Yukino kept a straight face as usual and just nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.

"Xiaoxue, you're here!"

Yuigahama Yui, who was annoyed by the four Yana, was overjoyed when she saw her own team appear.

"What's wrong?"

Yukinoshita Yukino put down her schoolbag and asked her curiously.

"Kyoucai and the others are surprisingly excited..."

Yuigahama Yui said with a dry laugh.

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the desks that were put together - they were used as dining tables during the dinner party yesterday. Now there were some small plates on them, filled with snacks and other things. It was still morning, but Yanami and the others seemed to be having an afternoon tea party.

Then she glanced at Yanami and the others who were still chatting and found that they were talking about some trivial topics.

So the girl sighed softly.

"If you feel uneasy, it's okay not to try to hide it by pretending to be calm."

She told the Yanai people: "No matter who encounters this kind of thing, they will feel uneasy. It is not something to be ashamed of."

Yana saw that the animated conversation between them seemed to have been paused, and the activity room, which was originally as noisy as a vegetable market, suddenly became quiet. They just looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with ambiguous eyes, and the latter frowned slightly - after all, being stared at by four identical people with strange eyes was a situation that made people feel a little creepy and scared, but even so, Yukinoshita Yukino had no intention of taking back her words.

"I see. So, Kyouna and the others are feeling uneasy?"

Yuigahama Yui suddenly understood after hearing this.

"That's not the case. We just suddenly discovered the essence of chatting with ourselves. If chatting between girls is GirlsTalk, then ours is Yanami Talk!"

One of the Yanami expressed his opinion, and the other Yanami nodded in agreement.

"From yesterday's interactions, it's clear that the only differences between the different Yanami students are the ones that decide the winner in rock-paper-scissors. Otherwise, even their reactions when speaking are completely identical. In this situation, there's not much difference between chatting with each other and talking to one another."

Yukinoshita Yukino analyzed calmly.

"It's okay to talk to yourself, right?"

Yuigahama Yui asked in confusion: "Children with a bit of a guilty conscience seem to like talking to themselves."

"Sometimes we wonder if Yui-san would be black if cut open..."

Yanami and the others, who were nonchalantly categorized by Yuigahama Yui as "children with a bit of a bad head", were all frowning.

"The decisive evidence is this."

Yukinoshita Yukino ignored the interaction between Yuigahama Yui and Yanami Anna, and just pointed to the small plate on the table.

The plate contained triangular-shaped corn chips, a fairly common puffed snack.

"What's wrong with this nacho?"

Yuigahama Yui asked in confusion.

"How long has it been since Yana-san started eating snacks?"

Yukino asked back.

"Hey..."

Yuigahama Yui thought for a moment: "When I arrived, these snacks were already on the table, and Xiaoxue just arrived. So, about twenty minutes passed in between?"

"So, normally when there's only one Yana, a whole bag of corn chips is eaten in thirty seconds. But now, they're served on such a small plate, and even after at least twenty minutes, there's still some left. Don't you think something's wrong?"

Yukinoshita Yukino analyzed calmly.

"What? This kind of reasoning is like treating us as foodies!"

"Even if it's Yukinoshita-san, you can't slander others!" "That's what I mean!"

Yanaijian and the others made indignant noises.

Yuigahama Yui pondered for a few seconds and nodded: "That makes sense."

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Yanai began to reflect on how they were viewed by others.

"But it's only been less than thirty minutes since Asakura-san sent the message saying she was going to pick up Yana to meet her classmates..."

Yukinoshita Yukino took out her phone and confirmed the message in the Line group: "So it only took him ten minutes to pick up Yanami-san from home and bring him to school?"

Then she saw two of the four Yanami showing expressions similar to dead fish eyes.

"I thought he'd come visit normally... but he actually drove a flying car straight in from the second floor..."

"Even after I told them no, they'd forcibly tie the security bars with ropes and rip them off, saying things like, 'I've wanted to try this for a long time,' and 'Why don't you live in the closet?' My family thought there were robbers, and it almost ended in an irreversible disaster..."

Yuigahama Yui showed her maternal love and rubbed Yanami's head: "Thank you for your hard work~"

And Yukinoshita Yukino said after a moment of silence.

"The one living in the closet is Doraemon, right?"

"That's not the problem, is it?!"
