"Chihaya, you sometimes say things similar to Yanami."

Li Mo muttered.

"First, when you're on a date with a girl, it's best not to mention other girls."

Chaoyun Chihaya raised her index finger towards Li Mo, then raised her middle finger and made a two gesture: "Second, in so-called love, the one who falls in love with the other first loses."

"Aha?"

Li Mo was confused.

"Because Miss Chihaya has been completely defeated, I am now pursuing you, Takuma-kun."

Chihaya Asagumo smiled a sly yet adorable little fox smile: "So naturally I have to get used to and accommodate Takuma-kun's thoughts."

"..."

"Who made me fall in love with Takuma-kun first?"

Faced with the girl's direct words, Li Mo's face turned red and he didn't know what to say.

Chapter 386 The Holy Grail.

"Did the bullet just turn a corner?!"

The boy who was running the shooting stall looked at Li Mo holding the air rifle in shock and shouted.

"...It was gun fighting. I used gun fighting."

Li Mo, who was cheating with [Scale], put down the air gun in his hand and said seriously.

"It actually exists! Gunfighting techniques!"

The boy was shocked and excited and said, "Can I learn it?"

Chihaya Asagumo on the side covered her mouth with her hands and smiled cutely.

"Wait and hope."

Li Mo patted the other person's shoulder in a serious manner, and said perfunctorily as if he was saying "little brother": "Compared to this, can you give me the reward you just got?"

"Oh well."

The other party then hurried into the stall and took out the most difficult prize hidden in the corner and handed it to Li Mo: "This was placed here by the student union. They said it was related to the afternoon's activities."

"Is it okay if we take it now?"

Li Mo asked.

"It's okay, it's okay. They didn't say it has to be delivered in the afternoon. After all, apart from you who are skilled in gun fighting, there are probably not many people who can beat this thing."

The other party spread his hands.

Indeed, the other prizes on this stall, such as the panda doll with a silly-looking face, the bearded doll with a silly-looking face, and the rooster doll with a silly-looking face and sticking out its tongue, were all placed in relatively open places, and even novices had a great chance of getting them. Only the small paper box in Li Mo's hand was placed in a very cramped corner, which was relatively special. That was why he was certain to a certain extent that this thing was probably one of the seven holy grails prepared by the student union.

After Li Mo thanked the other party, he and Chao Yun Qianzhao found a corner and opened the paper box.

Inside was a thermos cup, but it was painted golden yellow, and had the words "Divine Monument" written on it in round, cute-looking fonts (with two bars drawn on it). Next to it was the word "Holy Grail" written in a handwriting that looked familiar to Li Mo, probably derived from Amakusa Shino's.

"..."

How to say it, although he also knew that the Holy Grail prepared by the Student Union would definitely not be an illegal item, but seeing that the prize was such an ordinary thing, Li Mo still felt a little disappointed.

"what?"

But then Li Mo felt something unusual.

"What's wrong with this cup?"

Asahi Chihaya curiously moved closer to Li Mo. The distance between them was only a few millimeters. Li Mo could even smell the faint scent of lavender on the girl.

However, Li Mo did not have any distracted thoughts at this time. Instead, he handed the thermos cup to the girl: "Chihaya, take it."

The girl followed his instructions and took the thermos cup, which could be called a "work of art" in a sense, from Li Mo's hand. However, before Chao Yun Qianzhao could take a closer look, cracks appeared on the stainless steel wall of the cup with a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

The sudden change made Chao Yun Qianzao almost drop the thermos cup subconsciously. She looked at Li Mo at a loss.

"Is this Chihaya's grip strength... so scary!"

Li Mo pretended to shrink back.

"No way!"

Asagumo Chihaya was at a loss for words. Her gaze quickly shifted to the shattered thermos in her hand. "Is this really okay? This?"

"Don't be afraid, it's not a big deal."

Li Mo rubbed his chin and carefully examined the cracked thermos cup in the girl's hand: "For some reason, some ownerless magic power is attached to this thing, but it itself does not react to the spell..."

Because Chihaya Asagumo still owed a large amount of magic power, she absorbed that part of the magic power the moment she came into contact with the ownerless magic power.

Because the thermos was soaked in magic power, its internal microstructure had undergone some unknown changes. After the magic power was drawn out, the original structure could not support its supernatural properties, so it cracked directly.

"If you must say it,"

After a careful observation, Li Mo came to the conclusion: "This thing is similar to the cursed camera in the association. It should also be some kind of cursed creation."

"Did the student council create this?"

Asagumo Chihaya asked doubtfully.

If this is true, doesn't it mean that there are people in the student union who possess extraordinary powers like them?

"It's hard to say, but I'm more inclined to think that the student council got this by some coincidence."

Li Mo shook his head. "The magic structure of this thing is quite chaotic and crude... Well, to use code as an analogy, it's like a layman flipping through a few beginner's guides and randomly piecing together the fragments. As a result, the code runs inexplicably, and the layman doesn't even know what the code is for..."

"What was its original use?"

The girl looked at the thermos cup in her hand that had turned into pieces and asked curiously.

After all, the cursed camera in the association can change human nature. If it is a cursed item similar to that thing, it should have similar abilities.

"Hmm, it's hard to confirm... but if I'm not mistaken, it's probably something like 'wish fulfillment'."

Li Mo speculated: "Because it only possesses the nature of a 'supernatural object', it has no specific abilities. However, after the student council gave it the concept of the 'Holy Grail of wish-granting', it has acquired similar abilities."

"Can wishes really come true?"

The girl opened her eyes wide and looked at the fragment in her hand in disbelief. "Is this thing so powerful?"

"How can a wish really come true?"

Li Mo waved his hand: "It's just like influencing the probability to a certain extent, leading things in the direction of 'wishes'... Well, that's not right. If this thing is a cursed item..."

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong? Is it something bad?"

Asagumo Chihaya asked hurriedly.

"If it's truly a cursed supernatural object, then even if its effect is to grant wishes, I'm afraid its nature will lead to negative consequences... Well, it's a curse after all."

Li Mo touched his chin, "It's not impossible that it could even cause some paranormal phenomena that are difficult to explain with common sense..."

Of course, unlike a holy grail contaminated by black mud, this thing is ultimately on the same level as a cursed camera and should not cause a particularly huge disaster.

"Is it like the situation when Yana meets her classmates?"

Asagumo Chihaya asked suddenly.

“Not to the extent that…”

Yana saw that it was the influence of the evil god from another world, and the cursed items in this world should not be that dangerous.

As Li Mo spoke, he suddenly had an epiphany.

There were too many guests at the school festival today. Even though Amakusa Shino said before that many guests came to see the "Mermaid Lady", this inference was actually problematic. After all, only a few people had heard Ichiri sing at the Founder's Festival. Even if the news spread later, the number of guests would at most be three or four times that of the Founder's Festival... But today, the number of guests received by Li Mo at the door alone was close to ten times or even nine times that of the Founder's Festival.

Could it be that the Holy Thermos Cup accepted Amakusa Shino's idea of ​​"hoping for the school festival to be a success", which led to the abnormal increase in the number of tourists?

If this is true, then the number of tourists, which far exceeds the normal number of visitors, will probably put tremendous pressure on Sobu High School. When it reaches the critical point, something bad might happen.

Not only that, Li Mo now has an even worse guess.

"...Is this the only Holy Grail that has been transformed into a cursed item?"

Chao Yun Qianzao whispered Li Mo's concerns.

"I don't know." Li Mo shook his head. He wasn't sure if this was the only cursed item, or if the other six had also become supernatural objects. "Sorry, Chihaya, we might have to put our date on hold for a bit... Could you please contact the other people in the Ministry of Magic and ask them to help collect the Holy Grail? They have magical powers and are more resistant to cursed items than Muggles. I'm going to look for President Amakusa now."

"oh, I understand now."

Chihaya Asagumo was not sad about the cancellation of the date. On the contrary, she felt that it was a rare opportunity to help Li Mo. She pursed her lips, looking serious, but also inexplicably eager to try.

"After you find the other Holy Grails, do you need me to destroy them?"

The girl held the broken pieces of the thermos cup and gestured to Li Mo.

Li Mo thought about it. Apart from himself who possessed the [Scales] that could isolate himself from the influence of cursed items, it seemed that only Chihaya Asagumo, who had the magic black hole, could be considered the natural enemy of such things.

Seeing the girl's hopeful gaze, Li Mo nodded: "Thank you for your help, but your own safety is the most important thing... If possible, it would be better if you could avoid causing any disturbances."

"give it to me."

The girl answered seriously with a burning gaze.

Chapter 387: That Infinite City.

"As expected of Kaguya-san!"

In the corridor of Sobu High School, a pink-haired girl wearing black-framed glasses happily said to her companions: "I challenged the most difficult level of Neurasthenia (a poker game) and succeeded in my first try!"

"If it's just that level, it won't mean anything to the Shinomiya family."

The girl with long black hair and a slightly cold look walking beside her said in a cold tone with a hint of disgust: "It's just that the prize is too weird."

As she spoke, she shook a fist-sized toy pendant in her hand.

The pendant is shaped like a beer glass filled with wine, but it is actually a water leak (a timing tool similar to an hourglass). If it is turned upside down, the pale yellow liquid inside will seep to the other side little by little.

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal, but someone had written something suspicious on the pendant with a marker: 'Wishes can come true!', which greatly reduced its appeal.

If her personal maid Hayasaka Ai had not been with her today, she would have handed the pendant to her and asked her to throw it away in a trash can.

"Really? I think it's pretty cute~"

Fujiwara Chika, who was walking in front with a swagger, turned around and said.

"Then I'll give it to you, Fujiwara."

"Ahaha, forget it. After all, it's Kaguya-san's prize. Maybe it can really make your wish come true."

"...Fujiwara, you haven't been eating anything off the ground lately, have you?"

"No! No, why do you make it sound like I've picked it up before?!"

"Because Fujiwara has been acting strange lately..."

The girl with long black hair called Kaguya wondered, "Should I say she's gained some awareness as a human being... or perhaps she's finally understood the normal principles of society..."

"That's so outrageous that even I'd get angry! Pfft!"

The pink-haired girl raised her hands to look angry, but she didn't have the oppressive feeling that most people would have when they are angry. Instead, she had a soft and cute feeling.

“Rather than being angry, it felt more like I was leaking air.”

The girl with long black hair also commented very calmly.

"Am I a balloon?! I'd rather ask what Kaguya thought of me in the past!"

"If it were in the past, you would have been happy to accept such a strange thing. And those glasses... you're not nearsighted, are you?"

"This is trendy! It's definitely going to be a big thing in the future!"

Fujiwara Chika pushed up her glasses, which were a little too big for her, and spoke seriously.

“Unless you’re elected Prime Minister.”

Shinomiya Kaguya said with disdain: "Why do you, Fujiwara, suddenly want to come to this kind of school festival?"

"...I just heard that the school festival here seemed interesting, so I came here to play."

Fujiwara Chika's reaction was delayed for a moment. Perhaps to stop her friend from dwelling on this, she immediately changed the subject with a silly smile: "Compared to this kind of thing, the fact that Kaguya actually agreed to go out with me today is truly remarkable!"
