"Wait a minute, why didn't I know that the club was going to have a training camp?" The girl looked puzzled.
"You know now." Li Mo said calmly.
Come to think of it, he did seem to forget to tell Yanami about the training camp.
"Let me ask, besides me, does anyone else in the club know about this? Or rather, besides the two of us, is there anyone else in this strange club, the Chiba Magic Society?"
Yanaijian rubbed his temples and asked with some doubts.
"There's also Yuigahama and a junior high school reserve. Once she gets into Sobu High School, she'll join the association immediately. And if we rank them by the time she joined, she'll be higher in rank than you. Remember to call her senpai."
As Li Mo answered, he took out his phone and sent a message to Gokou Ruri and Yuigahama, telling them that there would be some changes in the training camp. He especially told Yuigahama not to let anything slip when she saw Yanami: "They all know about the training camp."
"...So I'm the redundant one?" Yana saw that Kyoko was devastated and looked hurt, as if she should be under the car, not in it.
In fact, Li Mo had not originally planned to take her to the training camp. After all, the purpose of the training camp was to train Yuigahama Yui's ability to control her familiars, and to check to what extent Gokou Ruri had mastered the magic spell.
However, Li Mo always felt that it was not a good idea to exclude Yanami - after all, judging from the application form for joining the club, Yanami was actually the first to join the club - and now he happened to encounter the incident of burning salt lemon, so he might as well add a little youthful flavor to the training camp that was originally just for training. Anyway, Yuigahama and Gokou Ruri's abilities are not very powerful, so there should be no need to worry about any problems.
But before that, I should give Yanami a cheer.
"Don't worry, Yana sees that you have your own talents. The day you joined, I made the decision to leave that extremely important position to you."
"Is that so? Is it the secretary or the vice president?"
"He's the garbage guy."
"..."
The girl's eyes lost their luster and she started jabbing Li Mo's abdominal muscles.
However, since it has very little strength, it can't do any damage at all.
"Don't underestimate the trash guy. He's a position that can handle terrorist attacks!"
"In what world would a rubbish master do something like that?"
After venting his frustration for a while, Yanai found that Li Mo was unharmed, but his hand was in pain. Seeing this, he reluctantly gave up the idea of continuing to physically attack him.
Are all guys' abdominal muscles that hard?
"Besides, Shaoshio-chan and her childhood sweetheart have absolutely nothing to do with our training camp, right?"
"Then isn't it all right if we just get involved?" Li Mo pulled out a membership application from somewhere and handed it to Yanami. "Have Shaoyan sign it later. After the training is over, it's up to her whether she wants to quit the club or just become a ghost member."
Anyway, the main body of the Chiba Magic Society is the inner society that possesses supernatural powers, just like the front and back sides of a piece of paper. No matter how many people there are in the outer society, it will not affect the inner society on the back.
"What about her childhood sweetheart?" the girl asked curiously after taking the application.
"You can bring your family with you to this camp," Li Mo replied. "The destination is a famous hot spring hotel in Chiba."
"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up.
"That's fake." Li Mo decisively killed the other party's fantasy: "I will collect the fee from Shaoyan for her childhood sweetheart later."
Yanaijian took out his deflated little wallet, looked at the few pitiful coins inside, and said to Li Mo with difficulty: "Well, if I can't pay, can I add the cost of this trip to my debt and pay it back by signing in at the club?"
It was obvious that she really wanted to go on a hot spring trip, but she had absolutely no money.
"The expenses of the club members will be paid from the department fees. Although the school has not yet allocated a budget for our club, I will personally make up for it for the time being."
Because the girl looked so miserable, Li Mo didn't tease her any further this time: "Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen you look financially healthy."
Although Yanami seemed to be eating every time he saw her, after Li Mo recalled the past, he found that the snacks she ate seemed to be getting more and more cheap. Not only was she not picky about the snacks in the club, she would even come here to eat her own red bean paste buns during lunch break.
"Ahaha, something happened at home." The girl scratched her head and said awkwardly, "So most of my pocket money—or to be more precise, my dad's salary—turned into some noodles... Minister, would you like some some noodles?"
"It would be more interesting to make the flowing noodles when the weather gets warmer." Li Mo said casually.
He had only seen ryusui somen in animations before and had never tried it himself, so he was quite interested in it.
"Hey, but our somen reserves won't last until then, huh?"
"Are you almost done with the somen?"
"That's not the case. There's still more than half."
"Is your father's salary very low?"
"It's not bad. If converted to plain noodles, it almost fills up half the room."
"So your family really likes to eat some vegetarian noodles, or maybe you gave some to your neighbors and friends?"
"Well, some were indeed sent out, but most of them are still at home."
"Then wait until the weather warms up in a month or so before eating..."
“The reserves won’t last until then.”
"..."
Li Mo always felt that there must be a deviation between his and Yanami's personal worldview and understanding from that of normal people.
Chapter 47: Cat Head Curse
After lunch break, Li Mo kept thinking about the camp and didn't even pay attention to the classes. However, these courses were just like "reviews" for him and would not cause his grades to drop.
After the course, it’s club time as usual.
Because he had already told Yanami at noon that he didn't need to go to the activity room today, Li Mo didn't plan to go to the service club, but went directly to the club's hut.
As a result, I met Yukinoshita Yukino on the road, who was wearing a baseball cap and looked very impatient.
Considering that the Service Department and the Society Hut were not on the same route, Li Mo felt that the other party was most likely here to block him.
"Miss Yukinoshita, what's up?" Li Mo greeted her first with a businesslike smile. "If I remember correctly, I should have told you that it's best not to get involved with people like us, right?"
"I'm sorry, even if it wasn't my intention, but now it seems like I've been dragged into this incredible incident."
The girl took off her hat as she spoke, revealing a pair of fluffy cat ears on her head.
"Wow..."
Li Mo immediately realized something and exclaimed helplessly.
What’s interesting is that unlike Gokou Ruri who was frightened when she turned into a cat, Yukinoshita Yukino, the person involved, did not look panicked at all. Instead, she had a subtle happiness on her face.
"In this way, I can be considered as one of your people, right?"
"The specific situation has not yet been determined, we still need to conduct further discussion and analysis..." Li Mo began to speak in an official tone.
At first, Li Mo subconsciously thought that Yukinoshita had also become a witch, but then he remembered that he had previously stuffed his wounded finger into her mouth to make contact with the mucous membrane, but the final result proved that she did not have any magic power in her body and was just an ordinary person.
Even if she really had some kind of fortuitous encounter and suddenly became a witch, it would be impossible for her magic power to accumulate to the point of going out of control in just a few days.
Since the option of a witch is ruled out, there are only a few possibilities left: either he is possessed by a monster or something like that, or he is cursed.
Considering that the other party was quite clear-headed and didn't seem to have any noise in his head, Li Mo felt that it was most likely the latter.
So the question is, Li Mo actually knows about the curse that can make people grow cat ears on their heads - isn't that Gogen Ruri's curse [Cat]?
"Then how can I change back?" the girl continued. "Although cat ears feel comfortable to the touch, if they grow on my head, that's another matter."
Li Mo raised his eyebrows.
Although it is not clear why Gokou Ruri cast a curse on Yukinoshita Yukino, now that we know the problem, it is not difficult to solve it.
The simplest way, of course, is to let Gokou Ruri personally remove the effect of the spell. This method is generally called breaking the spell.
In addition, it can also be broken through a slightly more violent method, such as Li Mo directly releasing the spell [Snake] on Yukinoshita, and it is not just a partial deformation with cat ears as it is now, but it makes the girl turn into a snake, completely covering the effect of the spell [Cat]. After that, Li Mo can remove the spell himself, and naturally the girl can be restored to her original appearance.
Li Mo thought for a moment and finally decided to do nothing.
"Don't worry too much, it's just a harmless change. You should be back to your original appearance in a couple of days."
Li Mo said this as he stretched out his hand as if nothing had happened and wanted to pinch the cat ears on the girl's head to compare them with the little black cat ears that Gogen Ruri had transformed into to see if there was any difference, but the girl, who had been on guard, slapped his hand away.
"I'm sorry, I don't provide such services." The girl said bluntly: "If you want to experience it, I suggest you go directly to a cat cafe."
"A real cat's ears are not as comfortable to pinch as a girl's with cat ears..." Li Mokong clenched his hands a few times and muttered with some regret.
Maybe because of the size difference, the ears transformed by the curse [Cat] feel softer and more comfortable than real cat's ears. The fur on them is more like cotton than silk, and feels soft and smooth, making them perfect for playing with.
Unfortunately, after Li Mo tried to touch her ears a few times while Wu Geng Liuli was practicing, Wu Geng Liuli forbade him to continue playing with her ears.
According to the girl, Li Mo's touch on her ear was too obscene, making her feel itchy and uncomfortable...
Obviously I have touched it very carefully.
"By the way, isn't yours, Yukinoshita, in the Service Club..." Li Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Serving means lending a hand to those in need. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the same meaning as the dirty words that adolescent boys use in their heads."
Before Li Mo could finish his words, Yukinoshita Yukino had already interrupted him.
Li Mo exclaimed in shock: "Then I have a disease that will kill me if I don't touch the cat's ears..."
"It's a terminal illness. To save medical resources, please forgo treatment." Yukinoshita Yukino solemnly took out her student handbook and said, "There's a voluntary organ donation form at the back of the handbook. You can sign it."
"Why is there something like that at the back of the student handbook?" Li Mo couldn't help but complain.
"Maybe it's because there are giants in the medical industry among the directors of Sobu High School." The girl replied calmly.
"I feel like I've suddenly seen the dark truth hidden behind the daily life of youth on campus?!"
"It's okay, as long as we're not going to Gunma Prefecture. Asakura-san wasn't born in Gunma Prefecture, was he?"
"Don't talk about Gunma Prefecture being some magical place out of this world. It's just a rural area!"
“…On the surface, that’s certainly the case.”
"What's with that suspicious silence? For a moment I thought you, Yukinoshita, were the one from some otherworldly world!"
"After all, curiosity is the driving force behind the progress of human society. Isn't it natural to try to pursue the true nature of unknown things?" Yukinoshita Yukino said meaningfully.
"No, no, no, I think laziness is the driving force behind human progress. Look, people are too lazy to change channels on TV, so we have remote controls, too lazy to fan ourselves, so we have air conditioners, and too lazy to risk killing people, so we have the atomic bomb... So laziness and laziness are the true meaning of world development!"
"So Asakura-kun doesn't help me solve this problem because he's lazy?" the girl asked, pointing to the cat ears on her head, which trembled cutely.
"How about we talk about something else?" Li Mo began to talk about something else.
"also."
Just when Li Mo thought Yukinoshita Yukino was unexpectedly easy to talk to today, the girl looked at Li Mo and said, "I heard from Yuigahama that you two are going to live together?"
Chapter 48: Stay together!
An ordinary-looking black van was driving on the mountain road.
In the car were naturally Li Mo and his group who were preparing to go to a club training camp. The camp lasted for two days and one night, including Saturday and Sunday. In name, it was a club training camp.
As for why the Chiba Magic Society, which can only be considered a fraternity association for now and does not meet the threshold of a club, was able to obtain the school's permission to conduct training, we have to start with the driver of this trip, Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Although there are some decent hot spring hotels near the city, the hot springs in those hotels are mostly "ordinary bath water mixed with hot spring salt" or "hot spring water that has been transported from the hot spring and is no longer warm and needs to be reheated."
It's a rare opportunity to live together, so if I have to choose, I'll naturally choose the most authentic one.
Unlike Hakone, Chiba does not have many famous natural hot springs nearby. If you want to find a natural hot spring with a good reputation, you have to go to the more remote suburbs.
Li Mo originally planned to rent a small bus to pick up and drop off his children, but when he asked Shizuka Hiratsuka about this, the latter said that she could help with the pick-up and drop-off directly, and could even guarantee the training camp as a club teacher.
The price she paid was that she also had to enjoy her holiday trip to the hot spring hotel, with the money paid from the portion originally intended for renting a bus and taking care of school expenses.
"There are so many girls in this training camp, I have to keep an eye on you to prevent any improper (harmonious) interactions between the opposite sexes!" Teacher Iron Fist justified his behavior righteously.
It's such a pity that if this hot spring trip is a plate of dumplings, then half of this plate of dumplings is made to promote improper (harmonious) relationships between the opposite sexes.
However, after Li Mo calculated the total expenses and realized that having an adult during the training would make many things much more convenient, and that Shizuka Hiratsuka was not that strict about relationships between boys and girls, he agreed to the other party's request.
As for Shizuka Hiratsuka's sad self-mutterings after getting his consent, such as "No need to go on blind dates", "To hell with that shitty classmate reunion", and "So what if I'm the only one still single", Li Mo was very understanding and pretended not to hear them.
At this time, the driver of the van was naturally Shizuka Hiratsuka who was listening to Ebito's arrest for some reason, and in the passenger seat was Yukinoshita Yukino.
When Shizuka Hiratsuka saw the latter appear, she was so surprised that she almost swallowed the cigarette butt into her mouth - I asked you to build a good relationship with that Asakura guy, but I didn't ask you to be so close that you can go to the hot spring together?
Fortunately, many people appeared one after another, such as Yanami Anna who was sitting in the front seat of the car, who was concentrating on enjoying the hot spring steamed buns at this time.
Seeing this scene, Yana couldn't help but complain to Yuigahama Yui on her right, "Why are you eating hot spring buns before we even get to the hot spring hotel?", but Yuigahama Yui replied as a matter of course, "Isn't it common sense to eat hot spring buns before going to a hot spring hotel?" Yana felt insecure and began to doubt her own worldview - could it be that hot spring buns are not souvenirs to bring home after a hot spring trip, but a preparatory activity to be eaten before going to the hot spring trip?
Sitting in the middle seat of the carriage were Gokou Ruri and her two younger sisters.
When Li Mo allowed her to bring her sister to play together, Wu Geng Liuli actually hesitated.
It's not that she doesn't trust Li Mo, but she's worried that taking care of herself too much will cause trouble for Li Mo. After all, although she is nominally a preparatory member of the Chiba Magic Society, she is actually still a junior high school student and has nothing to do with the high school club on the surface.
