Li Mo was about to talk about the time when he went to catch fireflies with her during the hot spring trip, but then he suddenly remembered that the time when he and Yuigahama Yui were alone catching fireflies had been "rewinded" by Chihaya Asagumo. The only one who still remembered what happened at that time was himself, who had preserved the memory with the [Scales].
For some reason, Li Mo felt a subtle sense of pity.
In this way, it seems that today is really the first time that Yuigahama Yui and I are alone.
So he changed the subject and said, "So, to celebrate getting your first time, Yuigahama, what should I get you? Croquettes, crepes, or tacos will be fine."
"Asakura-san, are you mistaken for that little Kyouna?"
Yuigahama Yui glanced at Li Mo and said with some dissatisfaction: "Not everyone will feel happy when being fed."
"Just a joke."
Li Mo chuckled: "Actually, my suggestion is to go to Wagunaria for a meal."
“This isn’t fundamentally that different…”
Yuigahama Yui complained.
"So what kind of memorial do you want, Yuigahama?"
Li Mo said confidently, "It's okay if I want to pick the stars." "Under 500 yen, it's okay."
"A budget for elementary school students' snacks on a picnic..."
The girl looked even more speechless.
But then she really started thinking about it.
The girl subconsciously looked up at Li Mo. His appearance was not as good as that of the handsome guys like Ye Shan who were quite famous in the school, but compared to that kind of guy, Yuigahama Yui felt that Li Mo's appearance was more attractive, and he was the type that became more attractive the more you looked at him.
Obviously, she didn't care much about it in the past, and didn't care at all when joking with the other party. But after realizing that the other party looked like he was completely in her strike zone, the girl suddenly felt her heart beating faster when she looked at Li Mo again.
Especially after the Yunqu Mountain fire, Li Mo's hair turned white overnight. It was not the paleness of albinism that looked a bit sick no matter how you looked at it, but the white that seemed to have been accumulated after being baptized by the wind and frost of time.
Although his personality has not changed significantly, the white hair does make his temperament more mature.
The pair of heterochromatic pupils under the plain glasses were as deep as the sea, making the girl feel as if she was immersed in the sea just by looking at the other person.
"Asakura-san... Asakura-kun... Asakura-chan... Asatan... Takuma-kun... Takuma-chan..."
The girl muttered to herself for a long time, then suddenly opened her eyes and made a decision: "'Zuomo Tan' is decided to be you!"
"What's with that weird nickname..."
Li Mo complained.
"To commemorate our first time! From today on, I'm going to call Buchou 'Takuma-tan'!"
"Then you might as well call me brother-kun..."
"There's no magical cherry tree in Chiba that blooms forever."
"You really are a hidden homebody, aren't you?"
"That's not the case. It's just that Liulili recommended a lot of 'masterpieces' to me before. In order to have something to talk about with her next time, I've been playing slowly recently."
Yuigahama Yui said happily: "Ruri Ruri is really a tsundere, and she tried to cover it up by saying things like 'a friend recommended it' and 'there's no room at home'."
"..."
No, that's most likely true.
Although he didn't pay close attention to it, Li Mo knew that Gogen Ruri and the other otaku girls had united and the relationship between those in the community who went to the game center together had become closer.
Especially the one named Xiao Tongtong, it seems that she is planning to drag Wu Geng Liuli into the ranks of sister-con. She had sent sister-con type games to Liuli before the offline meeting. Today, Li Mo also received a complaint text message from Wu Geng Liuli, saying that after the offline meeting, Xiao Tongtong even went further and sent her a lot of sister-con type Gals, and specifically noted that she didn't need to return them. She had a hard time giving some of them to other people, otherwise her house would not be able to fit so many things.
Li Mo thought that Xiao Tongtong was probably just cleaning out the unnecessary things that had piled up at home.
After all, not everyone's house is big enough to collect all the games and peripherals they like, three copies for "preservation", "teaching" and "enjoyment".
"Come to think of it, Asakura-san... oh no, Takuma-tan calls Koichiri by his first name."
Yuigahama Yui looked at Li Mo expectantly again.
"Before I knew it... well, after all, no one uses honorifics for their pets, right?"
Li Mo said.
Then he noticed the girl's eyes, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Yuigahama, do you want me to call you by your name too?"
"After all, we've known each other for so long (about a month), I think it's about time I use a more affectionate name."
The girl said seriously.
"In that case, how about calling him Yuinosuke?"
"That's a nickname for boys, right?"
"Knot dong."
"Why is it that such a sound is so worrying?"
"Arnold Schwarzenegger."
"I'm not some Terminator. Now, this isn't a nickname anymore, is it?"
The girl looked at Li Mo angrily: "Can't you just call me by my name?"
The moon is out.
The pale silver moonlight sprinkled down like water, pouring onto the magic car in the night sky, covering the body of the car like a veil.
The silver light shines through the window and falls into the car. The invisible magical power does not seem to block the beautiful moonlight, allowing it to gently caress the old decorations in the car, adding a bit of mystery to this car that is already full of magical colors.
The moonlight veil also fell on the girl. Her fair face glowed faintly, and her long pink hair fluttered in the night breeze, like a flower blooming under the moon. The beauty of youth and the enchantment of moonlight were intertwined, forming an indescribable beauty.
Li Mo stared at her for a long while, then as if finally surrendering, he said softly: "Yui."
"The wind is too strong, I can't hear you~"
The girl finally smiled brightly again, a smile so beautiful that even the moonlight was eclipsed.
"Next stop is Miss Yui's house."
Li Mo no longer looked at her. He sat upright and focused on the true meaning of safe driving.
If someone could see through the illusion of invisibility at this moment, and look from directly below, the magic car across the night sky would be like a phantom, just passing through the bright moon disk, leaving the shadow of the car body on the moon.
So beautiful.
Chapter 183: Obedience is worse than respect.
Near Inagekaigan Station in Chiba Prefecture.
An old Ford car appeared out of nowhere on the deserted street, drove forward a little way, and stopped in front of an apartment building.
"Speaking of which, have you moved?"
Li Mo glanced at the apartment building, a little surprised.
Before, the girl’s house was a single-family house.
"Because Dad said the original house didn't seem very clean..."
Yuigahama Yui said with a guilty conscience.
Li Mo looked at the girl's wandering eyes and vaguely guessed that she had made up some nonsense reasons to explain why she "skipped school" those few days, which led her parents to believe that the girl had developed psychological problems living in her original home. In order to prevent their daughter's mental condition from getting worse, they decisively moved from a single-family house to an apartment with neighbors and it would be easier to get care if something happened.
However, seeing that Yuigahama Yui had no intention of confessing, Li Mo did not ask for details.
Yuigahama Yui got out of the dilapidated Ford - at this moment she realized another advantage of Li Mo's broken car: even if neighbors saw her getting out of Li Mo's "stranger" car, they would not be mistaken for a stranger because the car was too old.
Li Mo also walked out of the car and snapped his fingers lightly, making the magic car suddenly disappear in front of the two of them.
After all, unlike Goto Ichiri's house which is quite far away from Chiba, Yuigahama's house is in Chiba, not far from Li Mo's house. Even if you walk, you can reach it in half an hour, and it will be even faster if you take a taxi.
As for why he didn't just drive the magic car back, it was because he initially thought it was quite convenient to be able to drive it without refueling. However, after driving for nearly two hours and feeling the consumption of his magic power as fuel, Li Mo felt that gasoline cars were actually not bad...
But then again, because Yuigahama Yui is by his side, he can subtly gain some magic power from the girl. If he invites the other witches in the magic society into the car, although he still can't achieve a balance between income and expenditure, the "fuel consumption" per kilometer can be reduced to a very low level.
"Is Takumi Tan really not going up?"
Yuigahama Yui asked.
"never mind,"
Li Mo hesitated for a moment, then finally waved his hand, rubbing his stomach and saying, "I haven't eaten yet, so I won't bother you anymore."
"Oh, I forgot to ask mom to prepare more dinner..."
Yuigahama Yui slapped her forehead and said with some regret.
At this moment, a somewhat surprised mature female voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Yui? And this one is..."
Li Mo looked in the direction of the voice and found a 'large Yuigahama Yui' standing at the door of an apartment not far away, looking at him with a rather interested look: "It must be the 'Bushi-san' that Yui kept mentioning when she was at home, right?"
"Yui never told me that she has a sister."
Li Mo greeted the other party kindly: "Thank you, Minister Sang Dishi."
"Ahhh, what a pity that Yui is my only daughter."
The other party covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Huh, is it Mrs. Yuigahama? How rude, but if you and Yui were walking together on the street, everyone would probably think you were sisters."
Li Mo continued.
In fact, Mrs. Yuigahama still has some traces of time on her body, but it is not a bad thing to be a little sweet-mouthed in front of adults, especially when the other party is the parent of a friend, and she still has her charm.
"Oh my, you're so sweet-tongued. No wonder Yui can't stop thinking about you."
"I'm not obsessed with it! Seriously, Mom, what are you talking about!"
Yuigahama Yui complained shyly to her mother.
"Ah, yes, yes, I only mention it occasionally when I get home every day (emphasis added)."
Mrs. Yuigahama smiled gracefully and said, "It's certainly not something I can say I'm obsessed with."
"Maybe it's because I'm special."
Seeing that the Yui was about to be sunk, Li Mo had to step forward: "After all, he is the president of Yui's club."
"Thank you, Buchou-san, for sending Yui back."
Mrs. Yuigahama said, patting Yuigahama Yui's head again: "Really, how can we let the guests leave like this at a time like this? That's too rude. At the very least, we should let him go upstairs for a cup of tea, right?"
"Taku... Ahem, Buchou-san is still hungry, Mom, please don't mess with him."
The girl said dissatisfiedly.
Not to mention Takuma-tan, even Asakura-san is no longer called, has she just become Buchou-san? It seems that Yuigahama doesn't want to appear too close to her parents.
Li Mo understood.
"Yes, Mrs. Yuigahama, I accept your kindness, but for a boy my age, hunger is a terrible enemy. Now that I have brought Yuigahama back safely, I must take my leave."
So he said politely.
But after he finished speaking, he found that Yuigahama Yui was looking at him with a subtle and resentful look.
So why is that? Weren’t you the one who used that unfamiliar name first?
"Since you're hungry, why not come to our house for dinner?"
Mrs. Yuigahama watched her daughter's varied expressions with great interest, and then spoke generously.
"Mom, stop making trouble..."
Yuigahama Yui tugged at her mother's sleeve.
It’s not that her mother’s cooking is bad. In terms of cooking skills alone, Mrs. Yuigahama’s cooking is already above the standard of a housewife, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that some of her signature dishes are excellent.
But the problem is that Mrs. Yuigahama is like many housewives in the island country. Although she does not deliberately pursue "health preservation" or the like, the amount of food she cooks every day can only make the whole family about 80% full.
Mr. Yuigahama is still on a business trip. Mrs. Yuigahama and Yuigahama Yui are not the type with big appetites, so the amount of meals they eat every day is not big, and can even be described as "exquisite".
The girl felt that if she invited Li Mo to her house for dinner, not only would he be restrained at the table, but the food shared by her and her mother might not even make him half full. This situation would be embarrassing and disrespectful.
Mrs. Yuigahama seemed to see through her daughter's thoughts. She patted Yui's hand to reassure her and added, "Originally, your father said he would be home for dinner after his business trip today, but he just called me to say that there's new work at the company, so his return date will have to be postponed for two days... I was just worrying about what to do with the meal I prepared for your father."
Then she looked at Li Mo: "So it would be great if Minister-san could come to our house for dinner. It would also be a great opportunity to thank you for taking care of Yui at school."
