The losers in daily youth have all become witches

His childhood sweetheart Shaoyan Lemon, on the other hand, stayed by his side the whole time, dragging him to play billiards and table tennis, and they had a lot of fun.

"Lemon, is it really okay for you not to participate in the Ministry of Magic's club activities?" Mitsuki Ayano couldn't help but ask the other party.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just here to make up the numbers." Shaoyan Lemon said cheerfully, looking as carefree as ever.

"Is he a member of the Ghost Club..."

Mitsuki Ayano felt that she had fully understood the situation in the Ministry of Magic.

Because Sobu High School is a school with a relatively high deviation value, it is naturally stricter when it comes to student clubs. If the number of club members does not meet the requirements, it is easy to receive a notice of disbandment from the student union or even the school's top management.

That's exactly why, every year during Sobu High School's club recruitment day, the club leaders are incredibly enthusiastic, even making some new students mistakenly believe that the seniors are trying to trick them into joining...

Mitsuki Ayano knew that her childhood sweetheart had loved running since she was a child. She had been a good runner in the track and field club since junior high school. Even now that she had finally entered Sobu High School, she still focused most of her energy on running. Last semester, as a freshman in high school, she defeated her seniors in their second and third years of high school and secured a spot in the county competition.

It's obviously unlikely that she would suddenly give up running.

If you think about it this way, it makes sense that she joined the Ministry of Magic just to be a ghost member to make up the numbers. Maybe she has friends in that club.

Ayano Mitsuki thought so.

The name of the club, Ministry of Magic, sounded a bit unreliable, but having participated in the hot spring trip, he was now in a position of gratitude and could not bring himself to ask Salt and Lemon to quit the Ministry and find a more normal club to join.

But if you think about it carefully, that classmate Takuma Asakura and Yukinoshita Yukino, who for some reason also appeared in the Magic Ministry's training activities, are both top students who have always ranked among the top two in their grade. Maybe the Ministry of Magic is not as strange as you think, and it's simply that Takuma Asakura has a stronger curiosity about the mysticism.

"Mitsuki, there looks like a dance machine over there. Do you want to play with us?" Just when Mitsuki Ayano was still making reasonable speculations about this strange club in the Ministry of Magic, his childhood sweetheart came over and asked again.

"You really have endless energy..." Ayano Mitsuki, who had already felt exhausted, couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, a blue-haired girl walked in from the lounge door.

Ayano Mitsuki remembered that the other person's name was Yanami Anna.

She looked around as if she was looking for something, until she saw Shaoyan Lemon tinkering with the dance machine in the activity room, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Shaoyanjiang, I finally found you!"

Wait, are you looking for her? Then were you serious when you opened the trash can lid to check what was inside?

Ayano Mitsuki complained fiercely in her heart.

"Xingcai?" Shaoyan Lemon looked up and saw the other person: "Hey, why does your skin look so smooth?"

"Hehe~ This is the power of hot springs..." Yanaijian first showed a smug little expression, then immediately shook his head and came to his senses: "No, that's not the point. Shaoshio sauce, that matter... Well, our club activities have made new progress, you should also come to the meeting to confirm it."

"I'll go with Lemon." Mitsuki Ayano, who was originally sitting and resting, stood up.

"Um, sorry, our club activities are confidential. Ayano-san, please stay here and move around freely for a while." Yanami immediately said, "Of course, you can go to the hot springs. You can also have such smooth skin!"

"..."

I feel bad that as a boy I'm not that interested in smooth skin.

Although Mitsuki Ayano was still a little uneasy - after all, he had never encountered a club that kept the content of its activities secret - but seeing that Shaoyan Lemon didn't seem surprised at all, he could only put his worries aside for the time being and wait for the girl's return in the lounge.

The meeting at the Ministry of Magic didn't seem to be long. Ayano Mitsuki only waited for about twenty minutes before Shaoyan Lemon came back.

I just don't know what was discussed in the club's meeting. Ayano Mitsuki found that something was wrong with her after she came back from roasting salt and lemon.

Different from his lively and talkative appearance before, Shaoyan Lemon is now obviously absent-minded and gets distracted from time to time.

When Mitsuki Ayano defeated Shaoyan Lemon with a score of 7:0, he further realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Lemon, you can tell me anything. I will always stand by you and help you." Mitsuki Ayano said to the girl seriously.

But Shaoyan Lemon didn't react at all, just stared at his face, and after a moment showed a silly smile.

"hey-hey……"

"..."

Not good, the symptoms seem to be getting worse.

Mitsuki Ayano had no choice but to find the members of the Ministry of Magic and try to get the specific content of the meeting from them.

However, he failed in the end - President Asakura Takuma and the girl named Yuigahama disappeared again after the meeting, Yanami was just showing off the free hot spring buns and didn't know anything about his questions, and the remaining Gosuru Ruri was still a junior high school student and could only be considered a non-staff member of the Magic Ministry. Ayano Mitsuki really couldn't pin her hopes on her.

It was not until almost dinner time that Mitsuki Ayano finally saw her roommate again.

But the strange thing was that although it was clearly a hot spring trip, the other party didn't seem to go to any pool to soak. He looked a little dusty, as if he had been in the woods all day, with long and narrow leaves sticking to his body.

Yuigahama from the girls' side looked similar, which made Ayano Mitsuki subconsciously speculate about the relationship between the two.

The dinner at the hotel was more luxurious than the lunch. Compared to the one main course and a rice bowl at noon, the evening meal was more like kaiseki cuisine, served one by one on many small plates. Some of the more expensive ingredients included snow crab. Everyone (except Shizuka Hiratsuka who was still sleeping soundly because she was drunk) was quite satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, when Mitsuki Ayano was still preparing to talk to Takuma Asakura, Shaoyan Lemon came to him first.

At this moment, the girl seemed to have just come out of the bath. The crimson purplish bathrobe and her healthy brown skin complemented each other perfectly, making the graceful girl look as beautiful as a water lily bud about to bloom.

"I want to talk to you, Mitsuki. Can we go for a walk?"

Chapter 54 Confession

Walking in the dark bamboo forest, Mitsuki Ayano couldn't help feeling a little scared.

It’s not that I’m timid, it’s just that most humans have an instinctive aversion to dark places.

Just like most people instinctively hate arthropods like spiders and centipedes, there may be exceptions who like them enough to let them crawl all over their bodies, but if all of humanity were asked to vote, the majority would definitely hate or even fear them, as if this unpleasantness is engraved into their DNA.

Some people even suggest that this fear is something that was actually engraved in the DNA of human ancestors after they were eaten by giant insects in the Carboniferous period. Of course, there is no evidence to support this claim at present.

"Lemon, where are we going?"

Ayano Mitsuki couldn't help but ask the brown-skinned girl from the sports department who was walking in front of him.

"I do not know either."

"...Ah?" Mitsuki Ayano suddenly felt that her childhood sweetheart seemed to have problems with her brain again.

He tried to calm himself down and said to the other party, "If there is nothing special, let's go back to the hotel. I always feel like something is watching us in the dark..."

"Mitsuki," Shaoyan Lemon paused for a moment, but continued walking forward, saying with an unwavering determination, "If this isn't special, then there's nothing special in this world for me."

Mitsuki Ayano had no choice but to follow the girl's back step by step towards the unknown road ahead.

—Things in the Dark—

"We were almost discovered..." Yuigahama Yui covered her mouth and spoke as quietly as possible.

"Your tracking skills are too poor. Why don't you go back to the hotel and meet them in Hanai? I'll be here." Li Mo said with disdain.

"No, I still have to go." Yuigahama Yui said without hesitation.

"Because you helped a lot, you want to witness it to the end?" Li Mo's eyes softened a little.

"No, it's because the way back is too dark and I don't dare to walk alone." The girl answered tremblingly.

Li Mo: “…”

He sighed: "Hurry up and catch up, they are about to disappear."

"Oh oh..." Yuigahama immediately followed him obediently.

In fact, Yanami originally wanted to come and witness Shaoyan Lemon's confession, but because Li Mo would use some supernatural means later, he asked Yanami to be on standby at the hot spring hotel. Just in case, he also asked Gokou Ruri to stay there to keep an eye on Yanami and not let her sneak out.

However, Wu Geng Liuli thought that Li Mo did this so that he could take better care of his two younger sisters, but Li Mo denied this.

Yanami's comment on this was, "Ugh, tsundere men aren't cute at all."

Li Mo and the hotel owner ordered a bottle of Sichuan hot sauce - although he took a quick taste and felt that it was not strong enough, in Japan, where spiciness is almost entirely based on shichimi funghi and pepper, this thing can be considered a killer.

I must give Yana a big surprise at lunch tomorrow!

Even though Li Mo deliberately kept a certain distance, Ayano Mitsuki was successfully brought to the small lake by Shaoyan Lemon without noticing the two followers.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and the lake is like a huge, well-polished gem, scattering the moonlight and making the surrounding bamboo forest seem covered with a layer of moon-white gauze.

It was clearly late at night, but at this moment there was no trace of the indissoluble darkness of the night in front of the small lake. There was only a layer of clear moonlight like a dream, just like daylight.

It was still daytime when Li Mo came here to survey the terrain, but even so, he had a feeling of "sudden enlightenment". At this moment, he walked out of the bamboo forest where it seemed as if there were dark walls pressing down on him from all directions and came to the front of the lake. The shock of his eyes suddenly lighting up was obviously greater than that in the daytime.

This can be seen from the fact that Mitsuki Ayano and Lemon Yakishi came to the lake and just looked at the lake without saying a word.

But this stalled the progress.

Li Mo quietly walked around to the blind spot of Ayano Mitsuki's vision, and made a "quickly confess" gesture to the PE girl who was still in a daze, and then made a "beep" gesture to him fiercely.

Maybe his actions were too explicit. Even at night, even with brown skin, one could still see that Burnt Salt Lemon's face suddenly turned red.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a little regretful - not that she regretted confessing, but that she regretted entrusting Yanami to do so, so that now she might have to confess in front of a large group of people watching secretly.

But even so, Shaoyan Lemon had no intention of running away in disgrace. Perhaps this was how the physical education department was, where the body's instincts could overcome shame and shyness and take action first.

"Guangguangguangxi!"

"What's wrong, Lemon? Your voice sounds a little strange. Did you catch a cold from soaking in the hot spring for too long?"

Shaoyan Lemon stared at Mitsuki Ayano's face. She was smiling at him gently as always, and it seemed that she had never changed since she was a child.

It was probably because of his Ashasi that I fell in love with this childhood sweetheart without realizing it.

"Mitsuki, Ayano Mitsuki."

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so formal?" Mitsuki Ayano also subconsciously became serious.

"I found out...I seem to have fallen in love with Mitsuki."

The girl held her heart and poured out her true feelings aloud eagerly, clumsily and sincerely.

"When I see Mitsuki talking to other girls, I feel uncomfortable and sad. As long as Mitsuki smiles at me, I can't help but feel happy too. When I stand next to Mitsuki, I don't care what happens around me. As long as Mitsuki cheers me on, it seems that any difficulties can be overcome. My sight and attention will be attracted by Mitsuki, and I will follow Mitsuki unconsciously. I am a fool and always thought I was sick, but after thinking about it for a long time, I finally figured it out... Yes, I am definitely in love with Mitsuki!"

Mitsuki Ayano looked at her childhood sweetheart, and for a moment she could only see her own reflection in her pupils.

He wanted to say something, and at this moment,

The stars fell from the night sky.

Countless twinkling green points of light slowly fell around them, as if the stars had turned into a sudden shower on a summer night, short and brilliant.

The lake surface also reflects the fluorescent light, making the already illusory scene even more psychedelic and hazy.

At this moment, the two of them seemed to be wandering in the starry sky of the night sky, and everything around them was so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

In the darkness of the night, the entire bamboo forest was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Only the short-lived summer insects were making crisp and fiery chirping sounds.

The girl looked at her childhood sweetheart nervously.

Finally, Ayano Mitsuki spoke.

Chapter 55: Setting aside disputes and jointly developing

——Things in the hotel——

"I wonder what the situation is?" Yanami muttered thoughtfully while hugging the big pillow provided by the hotel (specially used for pillow fights).

"It seems like Yanagi-senpai is particularly concerned about Shaoyan-senpai." Gokou Ruri looked at her two sisters who were running around the room, obviously a little too excited, and complained, "They usually don't seem to be interested in anything other than eating."

"Just the words 'childhood sweethearts' are enough to make me support Shaoyanjiang's love!" Yanaijian said to Gogen Ruri in a teacher-like manner, "Ruri Ruri, you have to remember, there are only two kinds of people in this world: childhood sweethearts and thieving cats!"

"It seems that all men have been nonchalantly categorized as human by Yanami-senpai."

"Even if it's just once, I want to witness my childhood friend's victory!"

"I feel like in Yanami-senpai's worldview, childhood sweethearts are just a negative buff..."

The two were chatting aimlessly when they suddenly saw a girl who was not wearing a yukata but casual clothes hurriedly walking down the corridor.

"Hey, I remember the boss lady said we were the only customers these days?" Yanami said curiously.

"Maybe she's a young lady who suddenly wanted to soak in a hot spring and came here without making a reservation." Gokou Ruri said nonchalantly, "Children from wealthy families are very willful."

"Liuli Liuli doesn't seem to like rich people."

"It's a bit extreme to say 100%, but among the wealthy people in Japan, it's okay to say that 80% of them are parasites that suck the blood of ordinary people. What do you think, Yanaijian-senpai?"

"If I must say it, I kind of want to be like the rich, sitting comfortably in a luxurious restaurant, picking up the menu and calmly ordering, 'This dish and this dish...'" Yana's eyes lit up as she said with longing, "'I don't want these two, but give me one of the others!'"

"No, no, no, even rich people wouldn't eat so much in one meal..."

"Huh, no way?" Yanai looked shocked, as if he saw his dream shattered and felt extremely desperate.

"About?"

Because her expression was so shocked, even Gokou Ruri was a little uncertain.
