The losers in daily youth have all become witches

"Okay, no matter what, thank you all for your cooperation. I'm deeply touched that you all trusted me and enjoyed eating, drinking, and having fun. I've met new friends and experienced new joys. I hope everyone will come play with us next time!"

Saori held up the Max coffee in her hand and spoke excitedly.

The others also raised their drinks (Kousaka Kyosuke: Why is mine oden?) and shouted together: "Ah~"

"I, Saori Banagher, hereby announce that the first offline meeting of 'Otaku Girls Unite' has concluded successfully and is now disbanded."

The girl said loudly, and then drank the Max coffee in her hand in one gulp.

Chapter 166: What you see is what you feel in your heart.

"Ms. Saori."

Saori, who was about to leave the game center, stopped and looked back at Li Mo who called her.

"Isn't this Takuma? The offline tea party is over. Why don't you go accompany Kuroneko? What do you want to see me for?"

"Although the young lady is embarrassed, I still think I should thank you on her behalf."

Li Mo nodded to the other party.

"What? Did I do something worthy of thanks?"

Saori curved her mouth into a ? shape and said with a smile.

Previously, when they were in the maid cafe, Ruri Gokou, who was ignored, wanted to leave several times, but was comforted by her every time.

In the subsequent exchanges, Saori also maintained the utmost kindness and tolerance towards Gokou Ruri (and the sharp-tongued Xiaotongtong), so later Ruri was able to let down her guard against strangers a little and devote herself to the game, and developed a strange relationship with Xiaotongtong, where they would exchange fierce words but their relationship became much closer. Even towards Kitagawa Ume, the guy who always coveted her cat ears, although Gokou Ruri seemed to be very resistant on the surface, she became much closer to him after he and Saori sang the same tune and took the initiative to break her filter of being a hot girl.

It is no exaggeration to say that Saori contributed 80% to the happiness Gokuri Ruri had during this offline meeting.

"I see. So, you're one of those hidden sage characters who provide immense assistance in defeating the Demon King but ultimately disappear into obscurity? It would be rude of me to continue."

Li Mo nodded seriously: "But Saori is indeed a good person."

"I don't understand what Takuma is saying at all."

Saori continued to play dumb at first, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. Finally, she seemed to give up trying to hide it and said, "I'm not that great. I just try my best to do what I want to do. If I must say, I'm not a good person, but a selfish person~"

"But on the other hand, doesn't that mean Saori takes everything to heart and sees everyone?"

Li Mo said: "If this is not considered a good person, then how many people in this world can be considered good people?"

"Mr. Takuma, are you really talking about me? It feels completely different from how I perceive myself. I don't have such a broad vision and heart. Are you going to suddenly rush out with a bunch of people holding signs saying 'Prank Success' and say that your gratitude to Mr. Takuma was just a misunderstanding? Even I would be hurt if that happened~"

"this,"

Li Mo shook the collection of ghost stories in his hand and said, "Actually, it's because I'm interested in ghost stories that my daughter brought them up in your community. But given her personality, she probably only chatted a few words and wouldn't elaborate on anything. But Saori, you still went out of your way to make something like this... This isn't something that can be completed in just an hour or two, so I think it's okay to thank you."

"I never realized that Takuma was such a clingy person before."

Saori sighed, then continued with a smile, "Come to think of it, I've heard this old saying in China: What you think in your heart is what you see... If Takuma thinks I'm a good person, then that means he himself is a good person, isn't it?"

"For a guy, being a nice guy isn't really a compliment."

"Ahaha, that's the difference in understanding. Humans really can't understand each other. Let's become new humans and meet again on the blue and pure Earth! さらば!"

Saori put her index finger and middle finger together, saluted Li Mo, and then ran away quickly.

This made Li Mo a little surprised: Could it be that this guy is actually a very shy person?

When he returned to the game center, Gokou Ruri was standing next to the bustling crowd.

Perhaps it was because her dress was so conspicuous, even though there was a bustling crowd next to her, the girl always gave people a strange and distressing feeling of loneliness. If compared with her appearance when she was with Kokiri, Kitagawa, Umi, and Saori just now, it would be even more obvious.

"Sorry, I'm a little late getting back."

So Li Mo took the initiative to speak and broke the girl's lonely state.

"It's okay. It's the weekend and there are a lot of people in Akihabara."

The girl's face brightened for a moment, but she quickly returned to her usual self: "It's normal for the restroom to be crowded."

"I didn't go... Never mind."

Li Mo felt that it was a bit troublesome to explain, so he simply asked: "Liuli, is there anything else you want to play? I guess you didn't have enough fun with Xiao Tongtong and the others just now?"

In fact, when the game was going on for the final time, Li Mo could clearly feel that Gogen Ruri had tried very hard to give in to others without being exposed, but in the end, all the opponents were still accidentally killed by her. This shows how big the gap in strength was.

"No thanks. Games are like water to me. Although indispensable, drinking too much at once will lead to water poisoning."

The girl shook her head slightly, and her long black hair swayed with her movement.

"Then let's go back~"

Li Mo just turned around and wanted to take the girl away from the game center, but suddenly felt the hem of his clothes being pulled.

He turned his head and saw the girl with her face lowered shyly, her fluffy cat ears guiltily covering her head, and her slender white fingers gently pinching the corner of his clothes.

"What's wrong?"

Li Mo asked in confusion.

"that……"

The girl first said something softly, but it was so quiet that Li Mo, who was standing very close to her, couldn't hear it clearly.

Then, she realized her mistake, so the girl loosened her fingers and took a deep breath, as if she was doing some mental preparation.

Li Mo also turned around to face the girl, waiting patiently for her words.

"Well, I..."

The girl paused for a moment, then raised the photo that she had been holding in her hand to cover her face, leaving only the upper half exposed. Her watery wine-red eyes looked at Li Mo expectantly: "Will you take a photo with me?"

Before Li Mo could respond, the girl continued hurriedly: "Look, it's that... the Night Demon Queen and her butler... should we call it a bond or a contract? And this is also my first time going shopping with a senior, so... right, a souvenir, it's a souvenir! Although it's nice to keep it in your heart, I think having a physical object like a photo as proof of the memory is also..."

"sure."

Before she could finish, Li Mo nodded gently with a bright smile: "It just so happens that I'm also interested in how photo booths are taken. Let's take one together."

The girl's eyes suddenly brightened.

Chapter 167: Photo Booth.

Whether in his past life or this life, Li Mo had never taken a photo booth. He was usually busy studying and researching magic and had no time to think about such things. Therefore, when he entered the compartment, he felt everything was new and fresh, just like Granny Liu.

"I see, this is the structure inside..."

Having said that, there's actually nothing particularly interesting about the photo booth. It's just a semi-enclosed space with a device that looks a bit like a touch-screen computer and a camera mounted on top of it.

When shooting, it is a bit like taking a selfie with a mobile phone. You can preview how you will look in the camera on the screen, and there are many optional items next to it.

“You can also choose the frame and filter before shooting.”

Gogen Ruri explained to Li Mo while operating the screen.

But from her awkward movements, it can be seen that she probably learned these words from Xiaotongtong or Kitagawa Kaimeng and recited them word for word.

Suddenly, the girl slipped and clicked on a preset, and a border designed with red and white roses and various heart patterns as the main theme immediately appeared on the screen, and even the picture was covered with a layer of pink filter.

Li Mo even thought he was having auditory hallucinations of "Wow~Oh~".

Even an old-fashioned person like him who could communicate with Shizuka Hiratsuka about all kinds of fossil anime memes could tell at a glance that Gokou Ruri must have accidentally touched upon the preset couple setting.

The reason why he was sure it was an accidental touch and not Miss Black Cat's ulterior motives was that when Li Mo looked at the girl, he found that her eyes were wide open, her pupils trembling as she looked at the picture on the screen, and she looked deeply shocked. Not only did her whole face turn red, but even the roots of her ears were red. Li Mo was worried that the child would suddenly faint from excessive shame...

"Okay, this one is a little too extreme for us."

So Li Mo patted the girl's shoulder, took over the operation of the monitor from her, and replaced the borders and various patterns with more acceptable Pokémon linkage styles.

Gogen Ruri was stunned as she looked at the pattern of the King Kong Ape that inexplicably appeared between the two of them.

"In the way."

She suddenly puffed up her cheeks and, as if in a fit of anger, deleted the grass gorilla that was full of intense beauty while Li Mo was still choosing other patterns.

"Really? I think it's cute. Let's change it to this."

Li Mo added another Agumon to the picture without any concern.

With mixed feelings, Gokou Ruri looked at Agumon, who was surrounded by a circle of Pokémon. For some reason, she always had the illusion that the other party was trembling.

So she plucked up her courage, put her arm around Li Mo, who was still hesitating between Serpentis and Arbok, and forcibly pulled him to the center of the camera.

"Anyway, take pictures first!"

"Huh? I haven't made my choice yet. Wait, wait a minute..."

Li Mo could only hurriedly force a smile.

The moment the flash came on, the warm temperature of the girl's body, the softness conveyed by the subtle bulge that might even overwhelm Yukinoshita Yukino, the elegant scent of shower gel with a hint of rusticity, and the girl's unique milky and soft scent all entered Li Mo's mind.

Even if he didn't try to feel it, his reaction ability, which far exceeded that of an ordinary person, allowed him to deeply engrave everything in his mind in just a short moment.

He looked at the screen, which showed the scene he had just filmed. He couldn't help but frown at his own stiff expression, which looked like he had a toothache.

But then he saw the girl in the picture again.

Gokou Ruri's long black hair fell like a black waterfall, and under the illumination of the flash, every strand seemed to reflect the moonlight.

Her eyes were half open, and because it was a close-up shot, even her long eyelashes were faithfully reproduced. There was a glimmer in her wine-red eyes, as if they were misted with nervousness.

The girl's cherry lips were also tightly pursed due to nervousness, and she looked a little serious, but the blush on her face had not faded yet, and the light peach color made her teardrop mole look a little more charming.

Li Mo turned his head to look at Wu Geng Liuli.

The girl seemed to have not yet realized that the photo was taken. Her hands were still tightly wrapped around Li Mo's arms, her fingertips turning white from excessive force. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly.

Li Mo tapped the girl's forehead lightly with a mixture of anger and amusement, and Wu Geng Liuli let go of her hand as if she had just woken up from a dream.

The girl was as flustered as a kitten that had been caught red-handed doing something bad. She didn't even know where to put her hands.

She looked at the screen, but found that the picture on the screen was not as beautiful as she had initially expected. Although the two bodies were indeed pressed tightly together, their expressions were too strange and their movements were very stiff. There was no trace of romance at all.

The girl's eyes dimmed.

"Okay, it's just a photo shoot, don't be so nervous. Look at our expressions in the picture, they're so weird."

Li Mo keenly noticed that the girl's mood seemed to have dropped all of a sudden, so he put his arm around the girl's shoulders without hesitation and pulled her in front of him.

Although the distance between them was much wider than when the girl was hugging him just now, the visual difference made it look as if the girl was being held in his arms. "Although that kind of photo booth is fun, I think it would be better if I relaxed a little and took the photo with a more enjoyable mindset."

The girl was originally frightened by Li Mo's abrupt action, but after being comforted by him and feeling the warmth from Li Mo's palm, she unexpectedly found that her originally uneasy mood had calmed down.

So she nodded, her expression softening instead of being stiff. "Yeah."

"Okay, then tell me~"

Li Mo scheduled the photo for 5 seconds before retaking it. Then he made a rather outdated "Yeah~" gesture: "Mozzarella Semisoft Washed-Rind Cheese."

"Mozza...it's too long!"

Gokogen Ruri complained: "The main point is just the cheese at the end!"

At this moment, the flash on the photo booth flashed, clearly and completely capturing the scene of the girl complaining about Li Mo.

Although she didn't pose or make any expressions on purpose, the girl's smile in the picture looked extremely natural. Combined with Li Mo's smirk after his prank was successful, the composition was unexpectedly harmonious.

If you look closely, you can easily find that the girl's eyes looking at the boy beside her are extremely bright and shining like stars.

Chapter 168: Preliminary Research.

Because the smell of rotten cabbage in the association's hut has not completely dissipated, Li Mo and his friends can only use the Service Club as their base for activities in the past two days.

Although there is no actual division, based on the frequency of use, there is actually a vague 38th parallel between the Ministry of Magic and the Ministry of Service.

However, as the number of staff in the Ministry of Magic grew, the 38th parallel seemed to have gradually shifted towards the Ministry of Service. Now Yukinoshita Yukino basically just sits near the window and reads.

The half belonging to the Ministry of Magic now has a lot more things than it initially looked like.

For example, there was a prefabricated bookcase with abnormally priced items, a locker filled with snacks and labeled "Yanaimi Feeding Area" (the key was kept by Li Mo), a computer desk slightly modified from an abandoned desk, and the computer that Li Mo was currently using.

Li Mo himself was not obsessed with computers, but it was rare for him to get some useful software from Ryunosuke. Even if it was just for this dish of vinegar, he had to make some dumplings at least.

This computer is usually in operation, used to train and develop the simple AI that comes with Ryunosuke's software. Although it has only been a short time, it is now running quite well.

However, Ryunosuke never delved too deeply into things that he was not interested in. Obviously, supernatural events such as ghost stories were also classified as things he was not interested in. If it were not for Li Mo's request, he probably would not even have the interest to investigate.

So, having inherited some of Ryunosuke's thinking, this AI just followed the rules and panned for gold in places like 2ch and 5ch. The strange stories it eventually found and compiled were mostly of interest to people online, such as "Yama no Kame" and other more bizarre stories...

However, the content summarized and organized by Saori was different. The stories in her collection of ghost stories seemed to be mostly heard from the so-called "psychics" and some mediums who could appear on TV. Taking into account the classification and review, most of the content was conservative or even traditional. They were the type that would not even cause a splash if put on a forum because they were not curious or scary enough.
