"What? No!"
"Compared to this kind of thing,"
Li Mo shook the basin beside him. Five goldfish were swimming leisurely inside, seemingly unaffected by the experience of being fished out of the basin just now. "Is this how I can get my reward?"
"No problem at all……"
The student at the stall took Li Mo's paper bag and curiously poked the paper with his finger. The already wet paper instantly broke apart. "Someone can actually do this. Classmate, you must have played the goldfish scooping game during festivals a lot, right?"
"It's all right."
Li Mo gave a thumbs up: "Give me a paper bag, and I can catch a whale."
In fact, the paper bags at this stall are quite dishonest and their quality is even worse than the goldfish scooping stalls at the festival. Once they get wet, they will break if you wave them a little harder. If you can catch a goldfish with a paper bag, you are already a master of considerable skill.
After crossing into this world, Li Mo rarely went to the festival to catch goldfish.
Well, actually, this was his first time to catch goldfish. Before this, the deepest impression he had of goldfish was just some strange thoughts like 'Hey, little sister, uncle will take you to see the goldfish'.
But 'will it' and 'can it' are two different things.
As long as the paper bag is coated with a layer of scales, it can be used to catch goldfish and even block bullets.
"Archimedes would jump out of his coffin if he heard you say that."
"Even if he pops up, the first people he'll look for will be the Romans."
Li Mo muttered.
"This is the prize given by the student union."
As they were talking, the student at the stall tossed a keychain to Li Mo: "You really don't want our prize? According to the rules, anyone who can catch five goldfish with a paper bag can exchange them for an oversized Mr. Pan doll."
"I have no interest in Mr. Pan."
Li Mo took the keychain and glanced at the boy who was digging out the dolls from under the stall: "The same goes for Hu Zilang and Pelolo."
He carefully examined the keychain in his hand. It was an acrylic plastic plate with a golden goblet printed on it, and the words "can make wishes come true" were written on the back in marker.
Of course, appearance is secondary; the most important thing is the magic attached to it.
Li Mo nodded imperceptibly.
It seems that my guess was right. The seven "Holy Grails" do have magic power and are cursed to "grant wishes". The reason why the flesh-colored Holy Grail obtained from Amakusa Shino had no magic power was probably because it was exhausted after the student council president's wish was fulfilled.
Some people may find it strange that these seven holy grails have passed through the hands of many people since they left the student union, but why do the holy grails obtained from the shooting booth and the goldfish scooping booth still have magic power, and have not fulfilled anyone's wish like the holy grail in Amakusa Shino's hand?
In this regard, Li Mo believes that it is probably because the magic of the Holy Grail is difficult to respond to the wishes of Muggles. Only people who have a certain degree of qualifications to become witches can make the Holy Grail respond to their wishes.
Of course, since there is currently no sufficient evidence and clues, this is just his guess.
Li Mo gathered his thoughts, took out his cell phone, and sent a message in the Ministry of Magic's social group.
Asakura: The Holy Grail from the goldfish has been recovered. It does contain magical power. Please be careful when recovering other Holy Grails.
Before long, other people in the community also started to speak up.
Yukinoshita: The reward for neurasthenia has been taken by other students outside the school. I am looking for those two people as the stall owner instructed.
The reliable Ms. Yukinoshita seemed to have completed the test, but it seemed that someone else had gotten the prize first.
Yanami: I'm still eating a hamburger.
Asakura: It's been so long... Are the people in the Food Research Club giving you trouble?
Yanami: Oh no, actually, the requirements for the new Competitive Eater Challenge have already been met. But didn’t you say I can’t have dinner today? So I have to at least make up for it…
It’s worthy of you, Yanami.
It seems that after obtaining the spell [Crowd], this guy's appetite, which was not small to begin with, seems to have grown even bigger.
[Chaoyun: Sugar painting is unexpectedly difficult. Sorry, it may take some time...]
Li Mo could understand Chihaya Asagumo's situation.
It is actually quite difficult to carve something like a sugar painting completely from a sugar plate. There is a relatively simple and almost conventional "cheating" method, which is to lick the sugar painting with your tongue to make it thinner, so that it is easier to carve.
But in Li Mo's impression, Chihaya Asagumo always looks like a lady and has a heavy idol burden, so it is probably difficult for her to lick the candy bar with her tongue in public. So it is natural that the progress is not ideal.
However, the child is bold and careful, and has strong hands-on skills. Even if the sugar painting is complicated and difficult, she should be able to complete it in the end.
Yuigahama: I feel my brain trembling, help, help, help—
Yuigahama Yui seems to have been mentally polluted.
Wait a minute, it seems that except for me, everyone else’s progress is not ideal?
The situation is not good. Should we change our strategy?
Just as Li Mo was thinking this, the magic power on the keychain in his hand suddenly began to pulsate, as if responding to his thoughts, and climbed towards him along Li Mo's hand.
Li Mo frowned, turned on the charger mode, and directly absorbed all the magic power, leaving no chance for the other party to cause trouble.
After all, although this thing can apparently fulfill wishes, it is essentially still a cursed item and will inevitably have negative effects. The best choice is not to give it any chance to create hidden dangers.
Li Mo casually stuffed the keychain into his trouser pocket and thought, "Now that things have come to this, let's eat first." As he walked towards the stall where the Big Bang Burger was located,
However, on the way, he saw a little blonde girl who seemed to be lost. She was pushed around in the crowd at a loss, and her delicate and lovely face was full of panic and fear of being left in a strange place.
Chapter 391: Progress is zero.
Li Mo took out the armband he had worn when he was on duty at the door and put it on again before walking forward.
"Little sister, have you lost contact with the adults at home?"
The little girl seemed startled by his sudden words. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her whole body curled up visibly like a frightened rabbit, giving people the impression that she would take off and run away like a rabbit in the next moment.
"Don't be afraid, big brother is not a bad person, you see,"
Li Mo tugged at his sleeves and said seriously, in a coaxing tone, "This is the identification card for the festival officials. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me."
The little girl paused for a moment after hearing this, then turned around and looked at Li Mo timidly.
She is a little girl who looks only about seven or eight years old, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Although her facial features have a bit of European three-dimensionality, her foundation is still delicate and refined like an East Asian. She must be a mixed-race. She has the appearance of a beauty at such a young age.
The little girl was holding a hardcover children's picture book that was a size larger than a normal book. Judging from the cover, it was obviously a cute version of "The Last Supper". It was probably a picture book that told some biblical stories.
At this time, the picture book covered half of the girl's face, revealing only her small nose and a pair of tearful blue eyes. She looked so soft and cute that it would melt people's hearts.
"Yinglili..."
The girl hugged the picture book, sniffled, and sobbed softly: "I can't find Eriri... I can't find my parents..."
"It's okay, don't cry."
Li Mo reached out to rub the head of the little girl who called herself Ying Lili, but the girl shook her head to avoid him, which made him feel subtly embarrassed.
What happened to the special attack team that said that all the lolis would be killed by being patted on the head?
"Brother will take you to find your parents, okay?"
He endured the good-natured laughter of several passers-by and tourists around him, withdrew his hand and said as if nothing had happened.
"really?"
The little guy's eyes, which still had tears in the corners, suddenly lit up.
"It's all right."
Li Mo gave a thumbs up.
His time is limited. Under normal circumstances, if he encountered a child who was separated from his parents, he would probably choose to take the child directly to the student union and let the student union members be responsible for finding the parents for the child.
However, Eriri's situation is rather special.
The girl looked like a mixed-race child at first glance, and one of her parents must be from Europe.
It is true that Sobu High School is a bit noisy today... No, that's not right, it's because of Amakusa Shino's wish that the number of tourists has increased abnormally, and naturally there are some foreigners among them.
But this is Chiba after all, not Okinawa, so the number of foreigners who have refreshed here is still only a small part.
It took Li Mo a few seconds to lock onto the blond foreigner through the swarm of snakes roaming in the school's drainage ditches and pipes.
In addition, we can use the age of the little girl to determine the possible age range of her parents. After excluding all foreigners outside this range, there are actually not many people who need to be confirmed. Even if you are unlucky enough to have to run all over the place to find the girl's parents, it won't take much time.
With this thought in mind, he took a picture of the little guy with his mobile phone and uploaded it to the Ministry of Magic's social network. He sent a message saying "I'm going to find the child's mother" to inform everyone. Then Li Mo ignored the bunch of question marks that popped up in the social network, took the little guy's hand directly, and quickly walked towards the foreigners who were targeted by the little snakes.
...As expected!
Even after visiting the last targeted foreigner, Eriri's parents were still not found.
Li Mo: “?”
He scratched his head.
It felt like things weren't developing in the way he expected.
Could it be that Eriri's parents had her at a very young age? Or was she born later in life?
No, no, no, it's unlikely no matter how hard you think about it. Maybe this child is only one-quarter mixed-race, and her European ancestry actually comes from her grandparents or her grandparents' generation. Her parents look like ordinary islanders?
But if that is the case, it will be very troublesome to find the child's parents, at least in terms of the time it will take.
In fact, more than half an hour had passed since Li Mo completed the goldfish scooping challenge.
Chihaya Asagumo is still stuck at the sugar painting level - she said she has already failed once and is now trying a second time.
"Apart from the sweetness in my mouth being a little cloying, there are no other problems."
She said so.
"No, there's still a problem."
Li Mo complained: "For example, insulin..."
After being mentally polluted by the fujoshi in the Manga Research Club for a while, Yuigahama Yui finally began to show her sunny and cheerful personality. She tried hard for a long time to get the Holy Grail from her classmate and good friend Ebina Hina, but the other party told her that the Holy Grail of the Manga Research Club had been taken away by another customer. It was said that the other party had a big setback on several questions about fujoshi comics, but had a good understanding of other comics. He answered them with eloquence and passed the test easily after trying and failing twice to figure out the answers to the fujoshi questions.
"She even knows how many doujinshi Kashiwagi Eri has published... She even knows about those old editions that are so old that it's hard to find any concrete evidence. She's incredible!"
Ebina Hime sighed at the time: "It feels like everyone in the comics research department can't win even if they try their best..."
Now Yuigahama Yui has reunited with Yukinoshita Yukino, and together they are looking for the customers who obtained the Neurasthenia stall and the Holy Grail of the Manga Research Club stall in advance.
Interestingly, the student in charge of the Neurasthenia stall said that the two girls who took away the stall's Holy Grail also had two girls. They also had the same combination of long black straight hair with a somewhat cold temperament and long pink hair with a sunny and cheerful temperament. The two of them standing together also had a "convex and concave" feeling.
"'Also', yes, 'Also', what does that mean?"
Yuigahama Yui said to Li Mo on the phone: "When Xiaoxue asked this question, the student was frightened by her low mood and trembled..."
Incidentally, according to Ebina's testimony, the person who took the Holy Grail reward from the Manga Research Club was "wrapped up tightly even though it was summer, with sunglasses and a mask on her face, looking like a celebrity on a private trip." In short, there is no other clue other than that she is a girl.
However, based on the other party's testimony, Li Mo activated the Snake Network to look for him, but he did not find such a person in Sobu High School. He did not know whether the other party had changed his clothes or had left Sobu High School.
As for Yanami.
The good news is that it is impossible for anyone to break her record and get the reward for being a big eater.
The bad news is that she's still eating burgers.
In addition, although she was addicted to hamburgers, the girl also made sure that at least the Holy Grail at the Big Bang Burger had not been taken away by anyone else.
As expected of you, Yanami-san.
Li Mo felt a little headache.
It will be noon in a while. If we wait until the event officially starts and the existence of the "Holy Grail" is announced to the tourists, it will be even more difficult to collect them. Perhaps we should stop the student union's activities in advance?
Chapter 392: Eriri’s situation.
[Please ask the parents of Eriri Sawamura-Spencer to come to the studio immediately.]
In the studio, listening to the voice coming from the radio, Li Mo reluctantly confirmed with the student union member in charge of the broadcast.
"Can't you really add one more sentence?"
"Asakura-san, I appreciate your hard work in helping the student council, but even so,"
The girl from the student union who was in charge of the announcement...was her name Izumi Hime Ai or Koizumi Hime Ai? Li Mo wasn't entirely sure. After all, he wasn't like Yukinoshita, who memorized everyone's name. Anyway, she was staring at him with a helpless look: "'Hehe, your daughter is in our hands' is something we absolutely can't put in an announcement."
Li Mo argued palely: "But I think this will speed up the other party's arrival at the Student Union..."
"It's the child's parents whose heartbeats will speed up!"
"Is it the DokiDoki kind?"
