Li Mo was okay, probably because he was affected by the curse [Snake]. He actually liked basking in the sun. But Chao Yun Qianzao was just an ordinary weak woman when her magic power was insufficient. Even though she claimed to be "very heat-resistant", she looked wilted in the sun after wearing a full set of kimono for a while.
Li Mo certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to wait until the girl collapsed from heatstroke before trying to remedy the situation.
"I said the sun is very strong now."
He helped the girl to the shade of a nearby tree and said unhappily, "It's probably the point where Sunshine Blaze doesn't need to wait a round."
"So, I'm a water-type Pokémon, huh?"
The girl seemed to be in pretty good spirits.
"From the perspective of the spell, it should be Celebi."
Li Mo replied: "But you actually understand this joke..."
"I felt like Takuma-kun might like that kind of game, so I took a look at it."
Chihaya Asagumo said with a gentle smile.
"Let's drink some water first,"
Li Mo looked at the bottle in his hand and said helplessly, "The juice... is finished."
The girl gave a polite smile that said, "Even if it's not finished, I won't drink it myself."
However, Li Mo didn't notice the deep meaning of her smile. He just muttered, "The mineral water hasn't been delivered yet. If that doesn't work, there's drinking tap water near the playground. Brother Pang Wenshui said it tastes pretty good."
"Wenshui-kun is good in every way, except for his obsession with tasting tap water, which is hard to understand."
Chihaya Asagumo said with a faint smile.
"Anyway, you just rest here. I'll go back to the door first..."
Before Li Mo finished speaking, a familiar voice came from not far away.
"No need, Asakura-san can go enjoy the school festival with the people you care about."
Li Mo looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was Amakusa Shino who was walking towards the door.
"President Amakusa, are you here in person to take over the shift?"
Li Mo couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"We're short on manpower, but we managed to get through the peak. After that, things should get a little easier everywhere."
Amakusa Shino seemed quite satisfied with the opening of the school festival and said happily, "So Asakura-san can be freed from his position as a doorman. I'm sorry for wasting so much of your 'good~' time."
As she spoke, the student council president glanced meaningfully at Chihaya Asagumo who was sitting under the shade of a tree next to Li Mo.
"That's true,"
Before Li Mo could speak, Chao Yunqian responded, "I hope that the student union will be more thoroughly prepared for such activities in the future."
Although she was clearly challenging Amakusa Shino, Asagumo Chihaya's tone was steady and calm, and her attitude was polite, so she didn't sound aggressive at all.
After being choked, Amakusa Shino didn't argue much, but said sternly: "I have received your advice, and I will prepare better in the future."
After all, in fact, she did underestimate the popularity of the school festival. She was caught off guard by the far larger-than-expected crowd and had no choice but to recruit Li Mo's men.
"Well, as an apology, I'll tell you, Asagumo-san, this insider information that wasn't originally scheduled to be released until this afternoon. Remember not to tell anyone else before then."
Amakusa Shino made a mysterious shushing gesture and said, "Chaoyun-san should know what the evening activities are at the school festival, right?"
"If I remember correctly, it was a folk dance held over at the playground, where everyone would circle around the bonfire—"
Chihaya Asagumo replied that judging from the fact that she didn't hesitate at all, it seemed that the girl had already memorized the entire school festival process.
"That's a lie."
Amakusa Shino suddenly interrupted Chihaya Asagumo and said directly, "Although it is indeed a folk dance, the one where everyone spins in circles together is only done at the beginning. In fact, more time is reserved for ballroom dancing, where two people spin in circles together."
Chao Yun Qianzao widened her eyes and subconsciously looked at Li Mo, but found that Li Mo also turned his head to look at her. Her eyes immediately turned back in panic after meeting Li Mo's sight.
Seeing this, Amakusa Shino smiled playfully.
She continued, "But as we all know, students often struggle with pride and low self-esteem, making it difficult for them to proactively invite someone they're interested in to perform folk dance. So, we've prepared a countermeasure: this afternoon's event, 'Heartbeat Heartbeat? Sobu High School Treasure Hunt.'"
“Is it really okay to have a name like this, which sounds like a reskinned mobile game event?”
Li Mo couldn't help but complain.
“Maybe it’s a little too childish for kids, but it’s just right for the mobile gaming audience.”
"You just nonchalantly equated middle school students with childishness, right?"
"Asakura-san really cares too much about such trivial matters."
"Am I the one at fault?"
"The treasure sought is the 'Holy Grail,'"
Ignoring Li Mo's complaints, Amakusa Shino continued, "Take the cup to the Student Union Office, and you can choose one of the following rewards: 'One invitation to a folk dance that the other party (Sobu High School students only) can't refuse', 'Twenty coupons for all-you-can-eat set meal A in the cafeteria', or 'One application for a 10% budget increase for your club'. There are seven Holy Grails in total, so the chances of success are actually quite high."
"Putting everything else aside, isn't that 'unrejectable invitation' a bit too much?"
Li Mo asked: "Will the students protest?"
"It's okay. Before the school festival, didn't the student council send out an agreement to all students in the school?"
Amakusa Shino asked back.
"That long, boring safety notice and the pledge to abide by the safety regulations during the school festival turned out to be something the student council had put together. I thought it was just the school trying to shirk responsibility in advance."
Li Mo suddenly realized.
"The consent clause of the invitation voucher is also included. If you don't follow the rules after signing it, the students will have the right to punish you."
Amakusa Shino said.
"That's so sneaky. Is this really legal?"
Li Mo still felt something was wrong, and he questioned: "And isn't it a bit too much to punish students for something like this?"
"The punishment is that all teachers will carefully mark the student's summer homework, and if the accuracy rate is too low, they will have to retake the exam."
Amakusa Shino explained.
"Are you the devil?! Is anyone actually going to do their summer homework seriously?"
"As the student council president,"
The girl adjusted her armband representing the student council president and said proudly, "My power is unlimited."
Chapter 385 Loser.
Having said that, simply telling them about the afternoon's activities in advance doesn't seem like an apology.
After Li Mo argued with Tianca Xiao, the other party said mysteriously.
"Although the official start is not until the afternoon, the Holy Grail as a reward is already available for early acquisition."
Li Mo pondered for two seconds, then glanced at her sideways: "In other words, you would rather throw the student union's staff into a place like that than find someone to relieve me in advance?"
The student council president looked away guiltily: "Okay, I'm going to stand guard at the door, you guys go away!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands, making a "shush~" sound as if he was driving away some animal.
Although Li Mo wanted to continue to torture the other party, Chao Yun Qianzhao pulled him away with a smile.
When welcoming guests at the door, Li Mo had already felt how lively this school festival was, but it was only after he walked through the lobby that he had a more intuitive understanding of the number of guests at this school festival.
"Even if it's just because of Yili, isn't this number a bit too many?"
Looking around, there were densely packed heads everywhere. Even the word "shoulder to shoulder" would be a little pale to describe it. Li Mo had only seen so many people during the Spring Festival travel rush in his previous life.
"I feel like we might not make it to the afternoon. Most of the stalls will be out of ingredients."
Chao Yun Qian Zao also nodded, and then she put her arm around Li Mo.
Li Mo subconsciously looked at the girl, but found that she was just looking straight ahead. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she tried to speak calmly and seriously: "With so many people here, it's better to do it this way. It would be troublesome if she got swept away by the crowd."
Of course, Li Mo would not say something to spoil the mood like "This is Sobu High School, even if we are swept away, we won't get lost."
"Indeed, this would be better."
He nodded and followed the girl's words, "Let's keep going forward. There should be fewer people in the club building and the playground."
If Amakusa Shino's information was correct, then most of the customers' destination should be the auditorium where the performances were being held. Apart from that, the more popular stalls were all on the school building. The club building was filled with programs from various clubs, which were more hardcore than the more common stalls like the haunted house and coffee shop on the school building. The playground was there purely because it was far from the school gate and the weather was hot. Obviously, the air-conditioned school building and auditorium would be more popular than the stalls on the playground.
"Which stall would you like to visit, Takuma-kun?"
Chihaya Asagumo asked curiously.
"Well……"
Li Mo took a look and saw that most of the classes setting up stalls in the front and atrium were selling the more popular items at the festival, such as fried noodles, takoyaki, and apple candies.
There was even ice cream mixed with paracetamol. The student selling it said, "This is ice cream you can enjoy even if you have a fever or a headache!" His smug expression, as if he'd invented something incredible, made Li Mo want to run to the student union and ask what the audit booth had approved...
"Are there no goldfish or water balloon fishing or anything like that?"
After looking around, Li Mo asked with some confusion. He thought that this kind of entertainment stall should be more popular. It is impossible that no class would have one, right?
"Because those stalls require a larger area, most of them have been allocated to the area on the playground by the student union."
Chihaya Asagumo replied.
"Then let's go to the playground first."
After hearing this, Li Mo made a decision.
"Could it be that Takuma-kun has ideas about the Holy Grail?"
The girl asked.
"As expected of Chihaya, you guessed it right away."
Li Mo nodded.
Since Amakusa Shino said that the Holy Grail is a 'prize', it must be obtained by participating in a competition or a challenge. Therefore, the Holy Grail must have nothing to do with snack stalls. Only stalls with a challenging nature have the possibility of obtaining the Holy Grail.
"What does Takuma-kun want with the Holy Grail? Is there anyone who wants to do a folk dance with him?"
Chihaya Asagumo asked kindly with a smile.
"It's for the club budget."
Li Mo shuddered inexplicably and looked around in confusion, but didn't find anything strange. He then continued, "That Amakusa guy didn't say the application form can only be used once. If one Holy Grail can increase the value by 10%, then seven Holy Grails can increase it by 70% at most."
“It’s a blind spot.”
Asagumo Chihaya's smile became much more sincere. "But it's unlikely that President Amakusa and the others would allow Takuma-kun to do this, right?"
After all, even if there was no advance notice, the event description to be posted in the afternoon would definitely have something like "The final interpretation of this event belongs to the Sobu High School Student Union" written in extra-small letters at the bottom.
"If I bring two Holy Grails and ask her for a 20% increase, she will definitely not agree. But if I bring seven Holy Grails and ask her for a 70% increase, maybe she will agree to a 30% increase."
Li Mo showed an unfathomable expression: "This is the broken window operation."
"Broken window?"
"Don't ask, if you ask, it was Brother Xun who did it."
"..."
Although Chihaya Chaoyun felt that there must be something wrong with Li Mo's way of playing, there would be no harm if he could really do it, so the girl still showed a gentle smile like a mother looking at her silly son: "In that case, as a member of the Ministry of Magic, I will also come to help."
"Really? I thought Chihaya you wouldn't think this would feel like a date."
Li Mo asked in surprise.
"So Takuma-kun has this awareness?"
"Ah ha ha……"
"It's okay. Dating is about making both of you happy. If you do something you don't like just to accommodate me, then you're putting the cart before the horse."
Asagumo Chihaya said softly.
"But Chihaya, can't you also say this the other way around?"
Li Mo asked: "If you do something you don't like in order to take care of me, then it's not a date, right?"
"Takumi-kun, you really don't understand..."
Asagumo Chihaya smiled bitterly and shook her head.
