The losers in daily youth have all become witches

"It's just a joke, a thank you is enough, it's not someone you don't know."

"Thank you very much. It's a pity that the materials I bought earlier have been used up. Otherwise, I would like to go back and try to see if I can succeed."

Li Mo was eager to try.

However, considering the need to inject magic power, it is equivalent to adding a new step to the original process of brewing the potion. I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed at the beginning.

Not only that, whether it is to inject magic into the potion, or to inject magic into a certain material, or to cover the crucible with magic throughout the process... Taking the controlled variable method into consideration, the white savory essence alone is enough for him to study for a long time.

"Speaking of which, do you really not need me to go with you on that ghost story investigation during the long holiday you mentioned?"

Just as Li Mo was immersed in how to improve the method of making white savory essence, Chao Yun Chihaya suddenly said.

She glanced at Li Mo cautiously, then quickly lowered her gaze. "Well... although I don't have powerful spells like Liuli, nor can I control Napoleon like Yui... but if I can help Zhuomu-kun find some loopholes and fill in some gaps like this, I still have some confidence..."

"If Liuli isn't here, you won't call her senior?"

Li Mo didn't answer, but joked.

"You're so mean. This isn't what you're talking about now, is it?"

The girl said in an almost coquettish tone.

This child is indeed not the type like Gokou Ruri and Yuigahama Yui, who will listen to whatever I say.

Li Mo made this judgment in his heart.

"Chihaya, have you seen the information about the Yama no Ji?"

So he decided to make it clearer.

A look of disgust appeared on the girl's face.

It looks like he has seen it before.

Yama no Ji is a new type of Kaidan monster that is purely targeted at women, and is not a big threat to men.

"Isn't that just a ghost story?"

Chihaya Asagumo frowned, her smooth forehead dyed orange by the setting sun outside the window, making the girl look a little amused. "There's no specific time or place for this incident. The whole strange story is almost completely vague. It seems to be just fabricated..."

She expressed her own opinion on this strange story, 'It's fake at first glance'.

“I thought it was fake at first.”

Li Mo took out his cell phone, retrieved a piece of news from his collection and sent it to the girl.

"The Yunqushan wife-murder case?"

The girl was startled by the news headline.

"It's just unscrupulous media trying to attract attention. This is more of a missing person case. Two years ago, the 'suspect' in the news went hiking and camping with his wife on Mount Kumotori. He came down alone, and after that, he went to the police station and claimed a monster had killed his wife. The police believed he had murdered his wife and was trying to exonerate himself, so they arrested him and searched Mount Kumotori."

"But even after sealing off the mountain and dispatching several search teams, even using helicopters, nothing was found. After half a month of painstaking searching, we still found nothing. We couldn't find his wife's body, and we couldn't get any information about her body from him through interrogation. He seemed to be adamant that his wife was killed by a monster."

"Finally, due to insufficient evidence and suspicion of mental problems, the police put the suspect in a mental hospital."

Li Mo put away his phone. "After discovering this news, I tried to do some research. I learned that the man had been diagnosed with mental problems six months ago and had greatly improved, and was allowed to leave the medical institution. Although the institution didn't disclose his address, they hinted in several interviews that he was from Toyama Prefecture. The earliest 'story' about Yama no Ji that Ryunosuke's program found was from six months ago, and the IP address that posted it was also from Toyama Prefecture."

In addition, there have actually been several cases of missing climbers in Mount Kumotori in the past two years, and almost all of them were women, but there is no need to tell the girl about this.

After noticing this information, Li Mo thought that this strange story might be true and planned to go over and take a look.

"Even so, it still feels dangerous... Is it really okay?"

The girl understood why Li Mo didn't take her with him. After all, if the strange story about the mountain was true, then this thing was a special attack type monster that could target women, and it would be useless for her to go there alone.

But she still couldn't help feeling worried: "If there really are monsters in this world, it still feels a little..."

"Don't worry, ghost stories aren't necessarily true. If it's really the Mountain Item, as a man, I'm not in any danger."

Li Mo didn't care.

"Or use the cursed camera..."

"That thing isn't man-made. Although Onmizu Yoshiki used it once and didn't have any side effects, it can't be guaranteed to work the same for everyone. It's best to avoid touching it if possible."

Li Mo seriously stopped the girl from committing suicide, then he smiled and said: "In fact, even if there really is a monster, it doesn't matter."

As he spoke, Li Mo looked around and after making sure that no one was around, he snapped his fingers lightly and a cluster of flames ignited at his fingertips.

Although the purpose of [Candle] is still unclear, at least among all Li Mo's spells, its special effects are the best.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite strong."

"Will you win?"

The girl asked nervously.

"It will win."

Li Mo is full of confidence.

Chapter 109: Yanami's plan.

Ball skills competition.

Li Mo didn't know what the situation was like in other schools, but the Sobu High School ball skills competition itself was split out from the sports festival.

It is said that the people above thought that the sports festival, which originally lasted for three days, was too long and would easily make students too distracted, so they separated most of the ball activities from the sports festival and held a separate ball skills competition.

By the way, Sobu High School's sports festival is in May, after the Golden Week holiday.

"Hey, Asakura-san, is there anything you need to do at the ball tournament?"

The day before the ball skills competition, in the service club activity room, Yanaijian patted Li Mo's shoulder and asked.

Chihaya Asagumo is not an open member of the Ministry of Magic, so she will not appear in the activity room. Yuigahama Yui signed up for the volleyball project, so she was pulled by other classmates to practice volleyball at the last minute.

Yukinoshita Yukino was the student on duty today, so for a while there were only the two of them in the activity room.

"No, I'm not good at sports... Hey, why do I feel like I've answered this question before?"

Li Mo touched his chin, and then he remembered that Yuigahama Yui seemed to have talked about a similar topic in the association hut before. However, as a Muggle, Yanami didn't know about the association hut, so he naturally didn't join the conversation.

"What? This is the first time I'm asking, right?"

Yanaijian blinked suspiciously.

Li Mo quickly changed the subject: "Come to think of it, we are classmates, you should know what program I signed up for, right?"

Although there is no mandatory requirement, in principle every student must participate in at least one project.

Li Mo originally planned to sign up for table tennis.

After all, he was a Chinese in his previous life, so maybe he would be blessed with mysterious oriental power in this life, and he would be unexpectedly talented in table tennis. Moreover, "Your backhand is weak, your forehand is not refined, your steps are loose, your reactions are slow, and none of your moves are decent, yet you still want to compete with me on the same stage" is one of the top ten lines that Li Mo wants to say most in his life.

However, a simple and easy sport like table tennis is undoubtedly very attractive to students who don't want to exercise. As mentioned earlier, Sobu High School is a high school with a very high deviation value and is mainly for college entrance examinations. Many students put most of their energy into exams... I mean, studying, so their attitude towards sports naturally becomes a little casual.

Therefore, when registering, the competition for activities such as table tennis was very fierce. By the time Li Mo, who had little subjective initiative, went to register, the table tennis event was already in a state of "no one could get in".

So Li Mo had to settle for the second best and choose between tennis and dodgeball.

He had originally planned to sign up for tennis after confirming again and again that there were no academies like Seigaku and Hyotei in this world, and that even a professional tennis player couldn't shoot someone into a wall with one ball, let alone use moves like 'Hand○Field', 'No Self○Boundary', and 'Heaven○Seamless Limit', which sounded more suitable for fighting Sukuna than tennis.

After all, in his previous life, the protagonist of the Oregairu anime, Hikigaya Hachiman, who was one of the few he knew, inexplicably went to the tennis club. This made him very curious about what happened to cause the plot to deviate.

However, after seeing Hikigaya Hachiman and the tennis club captain... I think his name was Totsuka Ayaka or something, messing around over there, I suddenly thought, "I'd better not bother them," so I decided to sign up for dodgeball.

"I'm not interested in ball sports, so I didn't even look at the registration form."

Yana replied angrily despite not being justified.

"So what program did you sign up for? There has to be one, right?"

Li Mo asked curiously.

"I'm on the cheerleading team, so I don't need to sign up for a sport."

"Cheerleading? Do you know what cheerleading is?"

"Of course I know. I'm just mingling with the crowd and slacking off! When the atmosphere gets a little more lively, I'll just yell 'Come on, XX-kun!'"

"Apologize to all the cheerleaders around the world!"

"No, no, no, Asakura-kun, think about it carefully. For example, in baseball, as a batter, you're about to be struck out, and the score is only one run away. But as long as you can hit the ball, there's still a chance to turn the tide. In this situation, would you prefer no noise at all so that you can focus all your attention on the opposing pitcher? Or would you prefer a team of cheerleaders beside you desperately shouting things like 'Go, go, go, Asakura-kun' and 'Hit the ball, Asakura-kun, hit a home run' to put pressure on you?"

"Why is it that your mind only works so fast when you're making excuses..."

Li Mo rubbed his temples. Thinking of the scene the other party described, he felt more pressured if someone was cheering him on.

The girl showed a smug expression.

"I'm not praising you."

Li Mo glanced at her and said.

"Huhu, now is the only time you can say that."

Yanaijian brought a large bag from the side and placed it on the table.

"I've been wanting to ask this before, what is this?"

Li Mo looked at the big bag curiously.

"Last night, the shopping street near my house was holding a promotional raffle. You see, Golden Week is almost here, so this was probably a warm-up for the holiday."

The girl removed the plastic bag, revealing what was inside.

"Is this... an electric hot pot?"

Li Mo looked at the huge pot and was speechless.

Judging from its stylish design and the apparently advanced operating panel, it should be quite high-end, probably one of those high-end products with a price exceeding five figures (in Japanese yen).

"I was originally aiming for the second prize, a full kilogram of Kobe beef. Just to get enough tickets for the raffle, I had to fight in the shopping district until closing time. Those five boxes of extra-large takoyaki were just too much..."

The girl ignored the dumbfounded Li Mo and smacked her lips, seemingly savoring yesterday's fierce battle. A look of 'What a formidable opponent!' flashed across her face. "But in the end, I got the wrong prize in the lottery and ended up with this first-prize, a multi-functional smart electric hot pot..."

An electric hot pot that can handle a kilogram of Kobe beef is indeed a good product.

There's just one problem.

"So why did you bring this thing to school?"

Li Mo was still confused by the girl's behavior.

"Of course it's for hot pot!"

The girl had a matter-of-fact look on her face. "I've asked around, and besides Lemon, who's signed up for multiple events and probably won't be able to make time, everyone else has only signed up for one or two events at the tournament. They're definitely available to come to the activity room and have hot pot together!"

"While others are fighting for the honor of their class on the field, it's a bit inappropriate for you to hide away and eat hot pot, isn't it?"

Li Mo looked at Yanaijian speechlessly.

"That's not true! Others sweat profusely from exercising, and we sweat profusely from eating hot pot. We all have a rosy future! It's just that the paths to that future are different!"

The girl spoke strange and twisted ideas while excitedly urging them on: "I'll provide the pot! As for the ingredients, everyone just needs to bring one or two!"

Li Mo touched his chin: "I see... you want to take advantage of everyone's food for free."

"It's not free, I'll also bring the ingredients."

The girl's eyes became somewhat empty as she spoke: "Well, although the only food I can bring is some noodles..."

So that one hasn't been finished yet? Li Mo couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Can't you use the money you'd use for takoyaki to buy ingredients?"

"That's so disrespectful to Takoyaki!"

"Wouldn't it be rude to try to get our ingredients for free before this?"

"I'll dip my apology in mustard and soy sauce and eat it bite by bite!"

Li Mo: "..."

This guy actually has the audacity to want to eat seafood...

"Besides, eating hot pot at school is an experience that absolutely no one has ever had before! Don't you want to experience it, Asakura-san?"

Yanami said happily, "It will definitely be fun!"

For some reason, Li Mo always felt that the girl who did such messy things simply for fun (or perhaps for appetite) was inexplicably dazzling.

Even his mood became relaxed.
