"Most people would throw away snack wrappers, right?"

"No, no, no, that's why I said you're not good enough, Asakura-kun," the girl chuckled, shaking her finger with a smug expression. "Snack wrappers have many uses, depending on the type of snack..."

"Let me make it clear in advance that, apart from the lids of yogurt, I think licking other snack packaging is a sign of poor taste." Li Mo said calmly and solemnly.

Yana was about to say something when she saw Kyoko stiffen for a moment, then her eyes wandered towards the ceiling while she laughed, "Oh, the tonkatsu curry udon in this restaurant looks pretty good..."

"I won't treat you until you pay off your debt." Li Mo said again.

The girl seemed to be struck down again.

She took out her small purse, looked at the abject vacuum inside, and after a long silence, handed the menu to a passing waiter and said dejectedly, "Please give me a glass of water, thank you."

After the waiter brought the water, she calmly added a large amount of coffee creamer and sugar, which were placed on the table to flavor drinks (mainly coffee), into the boiled water, stirred it vigorously a few times, took a big gulp, and then showed a comfortable expression (note).

"There's no need to go to this extent, right? The waitress was stunned..." Li Mo looked at her in astonishment.

"Hmph, that's nothing. In the 'Survival Girls' community I joined online, there's even a great guy like Yamada who can live on weed salad for half a month!"

Yanai saw a smug expression on his face.

"No, I'm not praising you at all!" Even Li Mo couldn't help but start to worry about the girl's life.

Doesn’t this child always feel hungry?

On the contrary, if it were a wild vegetable dish, I could understand it, but the so-called wild grass salad is just eating grass, right? Is there really anyone in modern society who survives by eating grass?

Thinking of this, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh and waved to the waiter who was also doubting his outlook on life, "Give me a glass of melon soda."

"It's so good, so good, melon soda..." The girl paused while stirring boiled water... some kind of suspension, and an envious look appeared on her face.

After the waiter brought the melon soda, Li Mo pushed the cup in front of her as she looked at him with greedy eyes.

"Huh, is it for me?" Yanami asked in surprise.

"With you looking at me like that, I can't drink anything, right?" Li Mo supported his cheek helplessly.

"Is that really true? Even if you say something malicious like 'Haha, you fell for it! It's actually splitting the bill!' when you pay, Miss Yanami won't have anything in her wallet to pay for it, you know?"

The girl continued to confirm.

Although she didn't know the reason, it seemed that Li Mo was quite stingy in her heart.

"If you don't want to drink it, then let me drink it." Li Mo pretended to take the cup back. The girl hurriedly hugged the cup, then leaned over the straw and took a deep sip.

"What a pity, I've already drunk it, so I can't give it back to you, Asakura-san." The girl puffed out her cheeks and spoke incoherently.

Li Mo rolled his eyes.

If he didn't want to appear too rude in public, an indirect kiss wouldn't have stopped him.

"By the way, where were we talking about?" Yanai asked seriously, not knowing whether he was afraid that Li Mo would continue to snatch the melon soda, or simply came to his senses.

"snow leopard."

"Yeah, right, snow leopards... No way! Was there anything snow leopard-related in the previous conversation?"

"Why are you still here?"

"Are you chasing me away again?! Do you really want to be alone with this cute, teardrop-shaped, long-haired, soft-haired schoolgirl?"

"Yanaimi, be quiet, it's too noisy and the other customers in the store are looking at you."

"My fault? Is it my fault?!"

Poor Old Eight was played around by Li Mo.

Just as Li Mo continued to tease Yanaijian, a figure came to their booth.

Li Mo looked over subconsciously, and was slightly stunned by the girl wearing the Sobu High School uniform.

In fact, the uniforms of Sobu High School are not very cute or eye-catching. The design concept with black as the main color makes the tone of the whole uniform look not so bright. But unlike the boys' uniforms, the girls' JK uniforms have a different style. The mini plaid skirt and the finishing touch of the red bow scarf make the originally serious-looking clothes more playful.

Ruri Gokou has long, straight, shiny black hair, which matches the dark main color of the school uniform very well. In addition, the girl's skin is unusually fair. Although there is not much skin exposed, it is that dazzling fair skin that makes it difficult to take your eyes off her.

"How do you feel?" The girl looked at Li Mo expectantly.

"It's worthy of being my uniform, it looks really good!" Yanami said happily for some reason.

No, the main reason why it looks good is probably because of the person who sees through it.

Li Mo complained in his heart.

Speaking of which, the reason why Gokou Ruri's uniform gave Li Mo a stunning feeling was entirely because the junior high school uniform the girl was wearing was too old.

Generally speaking, schools would buy students a new set of uniforms every year, but the girl's uniform looked like it had been worn for at least two or three years. Even though it could be seen that it had been carefully cared for, the frayed edges at the corners could not hide its oldness.

It seems that Wu Geng Liuli's family background is not particularly good, Li Mo judged in his heart.

"Great." Li Mo came back to his senses and found that the girl was still looking at him, but there was a little more uneasiness in her eyes. So he gave her a thumbs up and said, "You are worthy of being my junior."

Note: Although it seems like the author is bashing Lao Ba, in fact, in the original work, Yanami Anna is a super poor kid who can order a big bowl of white rice in a family restaurant and then use chili sauce to eat it...

Chapter 20: A Conversation That Goes Nowhere

"I haven't said I want to take the Sobu High School entrance exam yet, right?"

Yanaijian grumbled from the side, "Isn't it a bit too soon to call someone a junior now?"

“Shut up and drink your melon soda!”

Li Mo made a Great Wilderness Prisoner Heaven Finger gesture towards Yanaijian Xingcai, and then, ignoring the girl's comment that she looked a bit like a husky, he said to Gogen Ruri, "Would you like something to drink? It's my treat."

"Black coffee."

Wu Geng Liuli sat opposite Li Mo in a dignified and quiet manner, and answered like an excellent lady.

"Eh? You want to drink that stuff?"

Yana saw Kyona was shocked and asked, "Is this true?"

"This is the taste of adults. I'm sure you don't understand, senior sister." Gokou Ruri showed a mature smile and said to Yanami Anna.

"Gu... That's not true! And what kind of adult taste is that? A real adult taste is much more exciting!"

Yana said unconvincedly when she saw Kyona.

Now not only Wu Geng Liuli, but even Li Mo was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that this guy, who looks silly, has already stepped onto the ladder of adulthood...

"I knew you had no idea what adults tasted like!" Seeing that Gogen Ruri and Li Mo were silent, Yanai saw Xingcai continue to say smugly: "After all, not everyone can do it. Eating the turkey noodle seasoning packet dry..."

Li Mo: "...Turkey noodles?"

The taste of this adult seemed to be a little different from what he expected.

"Yeah, I couldn't bear the hunger, so I broke the bread into pieces and ate it secretly during the third period. I wanted to throw away the seasoning packet, but I always felt that it would be a waste, so I just ate it directly when I had the chance..." The girl turned her face away, her eyes becoming dazed, as if unbearable memories were flooding back to her mind. "That was really terrible... Especially when we went to pick flowers the next day..."

Before that, didn't he feel stomachache from eating the food packets? What kind of structure is this guy's stomach made of?

He always felt that he would lose if he continued to dwell on it, so Li Mo decided to forcefully end the topic.

"Compared to such unimportant things, did anything happen to you last night?" After calling the waiter to order a cup of coffee for Wu Geng Liuli, Li Mo asked the other party.

"It's not that I don't care! Ever since then, I've understood the Nobel Prize-winning truth about peppers being spicy at both ends!"

That should be the biology or chemistry award, right?

No, considering how indifferent it is, it probably doesn't even qualify as an Ig Nobel. It can only barely meet the standards of the Golden Raspberry Awards...

"Nothing happened." Gokou Ruri and Li Mo tacitly ignored Yanami who was still lecturing on the turkey noodle seasoning packet, and said in a tone that was not sure whether it was relieved or disappointed.

"Really? It seems like everything has settled down."

Li Mo nodded.

"I would also like to thank Mo...Senior Sang for his help." The girl said with a sweet smile, her violet eyes sparkling.

"It's just a piece of cake, and it's also an interesting experience for me." Li Mo also took on the attitude of a social person and said generously.

"What's going on... I feel like I'm the only one who can't do this."

Yanaijian lay on the table, his eyes wandering between Li Mo and Gogen Ruri while muttering softly.

"It doesn't matter, senior sister, just keep living like this happily and ignorantly." Gokou Ruri's smile became even gentler.

"Gu, such indifferent and dismissive attitude, like treating a capybara... And I'm obviously the older one! Asakura-kun, you should also talk about her!"

Yana saw Xingcai covering her chest with a look of being hurt.

"Asakura... really? Come to think of it, Senior-san hasn't told me your full name yet."

Gokou Ruri's gaze shifted from Yanami to Li Mo.

"Hey, didn't I tell you that?"

Li Mo scratched his face. In order to maintain his mystery, he had been very secretive about his information the whole time yesterday. As a result, even Gogen Ruri didn't know his name until now.

"Well, let me introduce myself again. My name is Asakura Takuma, and I'm a student at Sobu High School."

"Asakura Takuma? I will keep it in mind." Gokou Ruri said solemnly.

It was more like the attitude was too formal, which made Li Mo feel a little uncomfortable.

"So, junior, you definitely don't have a connection with Asakura, right?" Yanami, who was originally still sickly, suddenly seemed to have discovered something interesting. With a sly grin, he took out his phone and shook it at Gokou Ruri, saying, "Do you want me to transfer it to you?"

"Is Mr. Asakura very familiar with this senior?" Gokou Ruri's delicate eyebrows twitched and she asked Li Mo.

"No, we just met yesterday." Li Mo immediately drew a line.

"No, no, no, we are classmates, right?!" Yanaijian couldn't help but complain.

"Listen carefully, Yanaijian, there are only two types of interpersonal relationships among people like us. One is 'people we know'..." Li Mo said solemnly, raising his index finger to represent 1.

"The other type is people you don't know, right? This diode-style classification is really childish." Yanami hummed.

"The other type is a giant monster." Li Mo made a gesture.

"You're not even a human?! Even if you're a diode, you're too stupid!" Yanami slammed the table and complained loudly.

"So, senior was still a giant monster yesterday?" Ruri Gogen added at the right time.

"Don't talk like I'm a monster that turned into a human today!" Yana complained even louder.

"But before yesterday, the only thing between Yana and you was that we both breathed with our lungs, right?"

"The relationship is too weak! Isn't this the same as all the creatures that have existed since fish landed 420 million years ago?"

"No, Merlin breathes with gills." Li Mo said seriously.

"Your expression when you said this is so calm that it's hard to tell whether you're joking or not! Instead, why did you suddenly bring up Merlin? What's the cause and effect?" Yanajian was in a state of confusion.

"If it were Mandarin, your score would definitely be lower than mine, Miss Yanami! You wouldn't even pass!"

Yanai saw that he had been attacked.

Gogen Ruri didn't look surprised at all. After all, she knew that Li Mo was a magician. In that case, it wasn't surprising that he knew some secrets of other ancient magicians, right?

"Ahahaha, the coffee is here." The clerk appeared in time and interrupted the girl's increasingly loud complaints.

Yanai, who was a little angry because of the complaints, subconsciously took the cup and took a big gulp.

“Puga ...

It turns out humans can actually spray coffee out of their noses.

The human body is amazing.

Chapter 21 Hut Upgrade

"Is that senior really okay?"

After leaving the family restaurant, Gokou Ruri looked at Yana Kenna's back as she staggered home like a zombie and couldn't help but ask, "I feel like the light in her eyes has disappeared, hasn't it?"

"It's okay. She just can't stand the impact of black coffee for the time being. She'll be fine in a couple of days."

Li Mo replied disapprovingly, suggesting that Yanami's departure had created a convenient situation for him. Otherwise, he would have had to find an excuse to persuade him to leave. "Humans will always grow. Rather than this, let's quickly carry out today's experiment."

After changing into the Sobu High School uniform, Gokou Ruri was no longer so conspicuous when she followed Li Mo to school.

Li Mo was very careful to avoid places where Yukinoshita Yukino might appear, and took a detour to the door of the club's hut. But before entering, he stopped.

"Although it's a bit strange to ask now, I still want to confirm it." He looked at Gokou Ruri and said seriously, "Are you sure you want to join the Chiba Magic Society's inner club?"
