"It seems like the kid doesn't want to be there."
Li Mo spread his hands.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the frightened little girl and Yuigahama Yui who was still trying to catch each other, and rubbed her forehead helplessly.
"Compared to this kind of thing, what have you gained?"
Li Mo asked straight to the point.
"A little."
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.
She and Yuigahama Yui asked the stall owners in the surrounding area and followed the movements of the person who obtained the Holy Grail of the Neurasthenia stall, and learned the final whereabouts of the two people.
However, Yukinoshita felt a little bit dissatisfied with the puzzled look of "Aren't you talking about yourselves?" that she would get from the other party every time she asked "Have you seen a girl with big pink hair and busty breasts and a girl with long black straight hair and a cold expression?"
Of course, what made her even more dissatisfied was that some people would deliberately glance at her chest after hearing the characteristics they described, and then inexplicably reveal a knowing smile...
"According to the last eyewitness testimony, the two of them entered the classroom and never came out again."
Although she is dissatisfied, Yukinoshita Yukino is still quite reliable when it comes to work.
Li Mo looked in the direction she pointed, and then saw a store that was quite popular.
"Japanese-style house?"
After he read out the name of the store, he suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute, isn't this Chao Yun's classroom?"
Chapter 394: Japanese Style House.
[Sorry, it's still a bit troublesome to complete the sugar painting of Mona Lisa. Please wait a moment...]
When Li Mo dialed the phone, the first thing he heard from the other end was Asagumo Chihaya's apology.
Maybe she mistakenly thought that Li Mo called to urge her to complete the challenge quickly.
"Chihaya, it's okay to put the challenge aside for now. Come over to the classroom."
【classroom? 】
The voice of Chihaya Asagumo on the other side sounded a little confused.
"It's that Japanese-style building."
Li Mo said: "Yukinoshita and Yui have found the traces of those two people, but it is not a good idea for us to go in directly. It would be more convenient with your help."
After all, the Japanese-style house is different from ordinary shops. It also provides rentals of various kimonos, which naturally includes changing rooms. Not to mention Li Mo, even Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui can't go to each changing room one by one. If they do, they will definitely be regarded as troublemakers and kicked out.
What's more, the two of them haven't come out for such a long time, so it's normal for them to sneak into the kitchen or other corners that only staff can enter. At this time, it's very convenient for Chihaya Asagumo, who is a member of this class, to find them.
After receiving the notification from Li Mo, Chihaya Asagumo came over quickly.
"Sorry, I'm a little late."
"It doesn't matter……"
Before Li Mo could finish his words, the girl handed him a Holy Grail-shaped aromatherapy candlestick.
“It took a while, but I finally got it.”
Asagumo Chihaya said with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
"Wow, is it actually possible to make a sugar painting of the Mona Lisa?"
Yuigahama Yui exclaimed as she finally hugged Eriri and rubbed her cheek against hers.
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say anything, but just looked at Yuigahama Yui with a hidden expression of "I'm so envious".
"It's not that easy to succeed in a challenge,"
Chihaya Asagumo gave a choked smile: "So I ate all the Mona Lisa sugar paintings on that stall."
"Thanks for your hard work……"
Li Mo silently put down the candlestick in his hand: "It's mainly about insulin."
The words "Wishes can come true" were written in crayon on the candlestick, but the magic power was gone at this time. Judging from the cracks on the candlestick that could not be seen without careful observation, it should have been absorbed by Asagumo Chihaya, just like the original thermos.
"Rather than a reward for completion, it's more of a consolation reward."
Yukinoshita Yukino said suddenly.
"Yeah, but it's better than someone who doesn't even get a consolation reward, right?"
Asagumo Chihaya said with a smile.
"It's not that there are no rewards, it's just that the student union's reward has already been taken, and I'm not interested in other prizes."
Yukinoshita Yukino said seriously.
"I didn't say Yukinoshita-san."
Chihaya Asagumo said with a smile. It seemed that she was quite upset about losing to Yukinoshita due to neurasthenia, which forced her to eat a lot of candy and seriously exceeded the calorie and sugar intake.
"I have no intention of targeting Chao Yun-san, but even if some methods can achieve the goal, they are ultimately not as reliable as the righteous way."
Yukinoshita Yukino remained unmoved.
"That, that!"
Yuigahama Yui made a loud noise, interrupting the strange atmosphere between the two of them: "Shouldn't we go in? The Japanese-style building."
"That's right. Then I, as the waiter of the Japanese-style pavilion, will take everyone in to have fun."
Asagumo Chihaya's smile became much more sincere.
Yukinoshita Yukino did not continue to pursue, but just nodded.
Yuigahama Yui breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Mo gave her a thumbs up, then coughed dryly: "Yi, if you don't relax your arms a little, Xiaoying Lili will be suffocated to death by you."
"Woahhh, sorry!"
Yuigahama Yui quickly let go of her hand.
Little Ying Lili, who nearly drowned in a pile of soft flesh, ran behind Li Mo with tears in her eyes, a pitiful look on her face that said "Da Lei is so scary".
"Who is this child?"
Only then did Chihaya Asagumo turn her gaze to the little guy.
Li Mo had no choice but to explain again what he had just said to Yukinoshita and the others.
Fortunately, Chihaya Asagumo didn't have too many questions about this.
The group walked into the Japanese-style shop in a mighty procession. Unlike other cafes run by the Japanese, there were only three or four tables inside, and almost all of them were occupied. What was even more eye-catching was that the surrounding area was filled with hangers of various kimonos, giving people the illusion that they had come to a clothing store.
"Since we're here, everyone should change into kimonos. We also provide clothing storage services here."
Chihaya Asagumo, who was already wearing a kimono, said with a smile: "Takuma-kun can also be replaced by Jinbe. I can give you some reference."
"I'll ask the boys in your class to help with the clothes. Chihaya, go help Yukinoshita Yui and Lily-chan pick out suitable clothes."
Li Mo glanced at the guests who were dining and did not see the two people that Yukinoshita Yukino and the others mentioned, but the sense of disharmony in the air still made him subtly aware that something was wrong.
If his truth vision had not yet fully recovered, perhaps he would have been able to understand the problem just by taking a look with his truth vision.
Even so, Li Mo had some guesses: "If I come out slowly later, you don't need to come to me... If you have any questions, I can use my phone to..."
He mouthed the word "snake," "Just to let you know."
Chao Yun Qianzao, who was about to say something, heard Li Mo say this and immediately understood what Li Mo had discovered. She nodded obediently and took a few girls to the women's kimono area.
Yuigahama Yui seemed to feel nothing, and happily ran to choose a kimono, pulling little Ying Lili, who kept looking back every few steps.
However, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have realized something. She nodded at Li Mo without saying much, but her expression became a little dull, and she followed Yuigahama Yui.
Li Mo scratched his head in confusion, but didn't pay much attention to it. He just found a piece of clothing and chose an empty locker room to change into.
However, he did not go out directly after that, but stomped the ground with his feet in the locker room.
"Hey, come out."
The next moment, a fox-like shape emerged from the shadows and tried to rub against Li Mo affectionately like a big dog, but was kicked away by the latter.
But he knew what this thing looked like.
"Let me see, is there any distortion in this space?"
Li Mo asked the fox monster.
The fox monster let out a somewhat creepy laugh, but it indirectly proved that Li Mo's guess was correct.
Once you understand this, the next thing to do is much easier.
Chapter 395: I’m here!
"Although [Scale] and [Candle] might both be useful...but just in case..."
He mumbled something incoherently, and casually pulled out a piece of paper. Countless black patterns began to snake their way out from where he was holding the paper, and in an instant the paper was covered with [Snake Patterns].
Li Mo handed the paper to the fox monster: "Use this as a price, take me to that distorted space node."
The fox monster nodded slightly, and then its face opened horizontally. Several pairs of dark hands stretched out from inside, grabbed the magic-soaked paper, and put it back into its open face.
Then the fox's strange-shaped body suddenly expanded like a balloon, and after a moment it stopped expanding with a "bang" sound. Then it opened its face again and spewed out a puff of black smoke from its stomach.
"Are you OK?"
Li Mo looked at the fox monster speechlessly, not knowing whether it benefited or suffered a loss by accepting the [Snake Pattern] paper.
"Gah."
The fox-shaped creature bent down and lay on the ground, motioning Li Mo to ride on it.
Seeing that it seemed to be fine, Li Mo rode on its back. The fox monster stood up and disappeared with Li Mo in the air.
☆
Fujiwara Chika breathed softly.
How long had he been trapped in this strange Japanese-style house? Hours? Days? Or even years?
The concept of time seems to be blurred in this space, and every moment is stretched out, making it difficult to see the end.
The long time wears down people's will.
Although for unknown reasons, one will not feel hungry or thirsty even if one stays in this space and time for years, physical fatigue and mental sleepiness cannot be completely avoided.
The factors that crush the body and mind are accumulating little by little. Even Fujiwara Chika can feel that she is like a dam that is storing water. The moment her body or mind can no longer withstand the accumulated fatigue, her body and mind will collapse in the blink of an eye.
The girl clenched her fists tightly, digging her fingertips into her palms. The faint tingling sensation allowed her to maintain her remaining sanity.
"We must find Kaguya..."
The girl said this to herself as if to encourage herself and give herself a goal to keep persisting.
The paper doors kept opening and closing like creatures from a nightmare. The spaces were nested one within the other, layer upon layer, making it impossible to find the correct path. Even if one made a mark on the door, everything would disappear the next time it was opened.
Even Fujiwara Chika, who is quite good at Rubik's Cube, cannot fully remember the rotation and changes of space at this time, let alone how to deal with it all.
It is probably because it transcends common sense that it is called "supernatural".
For a little girl who is only in high school, all of this is obviously a bit beyond her scope.
"It's like a dream... in a negative sense."
The girl whispered softly, trying not to sound like a puppy's whimper.
If she had not had an even more bizarre encounter with the exorcist before, and had not been mentally prepared to a certain extent for this kind of supernatural phenomenon, the girl would probably have collapsed in endless despair and given up thinking like some ultimate creature floating in space.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to step on something and stumbled to the ground.
She numbly rubbed her aching knee and looked at the thing that had slipped on her. She found that it was a drink bottle that she had dropped while wandering in this space.
It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The moment she realized that she was just spinning in circles, Fujiwara Chika lost the strength to stand up again.
She hugged her knees, curled up into a small ball in the corner of the room, and sobbed softly.
"Mom... Dad... Mengye..."
At this time, a change occurred.
