“Interesting (ajfc), Miss Lingyin seems to have many secrets. I’m becoming more and more interested in you.”
"It's a bad idea to say you're interested in another woman in front of your female companion!"
Murasame Reine replied listlessly, not following Mo Li's lead.
Tohka had already found a spot and was beckoning Mo Li to come over; besides, this wasn't the time to search for secrets.
Mo Li gave Ling Yin a deep look, then walked over with Shi Xiang.
"Have you decided what you'd like to order, sir?"
Kotori, with a black hairband, walked over with the menu and handed it to Tohka.
Mo Li looked at Kotori in her waitress uniform; she did possess a unique charm, but...
Isn't this really child labor? Kotori is just a middle school student!
"Since you're here, then the person cooking in the kitchen must be......"
"Bingo, it's indeed my big sister!"
Mo Li covered her face. "Don't even try to guess what's going on. You can probably guess what's happening."
"This looks delicious, and this one looks good too. Which one is the date?"
"If you're having trouble deciding, how about a special 'One of Everything' series?"
"One of each, please." What kind of food is that?
Kotori smiled at Tohka's question but did not answer. She picked up the menu and ran back to the kitchen.
Mo Li couldn't help but feel a little worried for Shi Zhi, who was working as a chef. With a younger sister who was such a troublemaker, her future life must be very difficult.
Soon, plates of Chinese food were brought to the table, their aroma filling the air, showing that Shiori had put a lot of effort into preparing them.
The aroma of the food was so enticing that Tohka's mouth was practically watering—no, it was already watering.
Shi Xiang was seen using both hands simultaneously, eating noodles with soybean paste while munching on barbecue, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Mo Li's appetite was whetted, and he began to sample Shi Zhi's handiwork one by one.
As Kotori was leaving, while Tohka was enjoying her meal, she whispered something in Mo Li's ear:
"The AST people are gathering in the direction of the back mountain. Their target should be Tohka. After you finish eating, go out and head south of the station. Our people will meet you there."
"Miss Kotori, you don't think I'm afraid of those people, do you?"
"Of course I know you're not afraid, but this is a commercial street, and you don't want to start a war with them here, do you?"
Mo Li pondered for a moment. Qin Li's words made sense. With ordinary people around, the other side would probably be hesitant to act rashly.
Thinking of this, Mo Li nodded to Qin Li, indicating that she would do as she was told.
Kotori breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Mo Li agreed. She was genuinely afraid that Mo Li would fight here regardless of everything.
"I heard the new magician is also involved, so you must be careful."
"Hmph, I was more worried she wouldn't come!"
Seeing Mo Li's overwhelming confidence, Kotori seemed to be infected as well, and left without saying much.
Kotori went to the kitchen, took out a walkie-talkie, and gave the order:
"Alright, everyone snap out of it, our battle begins."
"The AI analysis results have been confirmed. Store design E5963 will be used. All preparations complete!"
"The surveillance team is ready. The AST is assembling, with approximately twenty people."
Seeing that all the preparations were complete, Kotori pulled the exhausted Shiori along and headed towards the designated location.
After eating and drinking her fill, Tohka smiled contentedly and was led out of the restaurant by Mo Li.
Mo Li released his Observation Haki, and just as Kotori had said, there was no trace of AST around.
Opening his clairvoyance again, he looked towards the back mountain and saw dozens of well-equipped AST members gathered together, seemingly discussing something. There was also a blonde woman nearby.
She must be the new magician. Ha, she dares to come after me? Don't underestimate her.
Mo Li withdrew his clairvoyance and pulled Tohka towards the south of the station. They found an entrance with a sign that read "Ratatosk." Could this be the battleground Kotori mentioned?
As expected, I was too naive to actually believe Kotori's nonsense.
However, looking at Tohka who was completely interested, Mo Li realized that going back now was simply impossible.
"Congratulations! You two are the 100,000th customers of this shopping street. Today, you'll enjoy special treatment—everything you eat is completely free! Welcome!"
"So, this is what you call your battle plan, Kotori?"
Mo Li looked around but didn't see Qin Li. Was she hiding somewhere?
Kotori, aboard the Fraxinus airship, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason, as if she were being watched by something.
Kotori shook her head and looked at the large screen in the center, where Mo Li and Tohka were being pushed and shoved into the shopping arcade.
She was well aware of the consequences of deceiving Mo Li, but it was the only option available. She couldn't really let him fight in the residential area, so she had to try to win over Shi Xiang, who was by Mo Li's side, first.
Chapter 53 The world's strongest magician, is that all?
Life is always full of unexpected events, but do you know whether these events are real or man-made?
However, in Tohka's eyes, everything here must be real.
Despite appearing to be a high school student, she is like a child who has never grown up, so innocent.
Huh? It feels like I've been switched with one of the elementary school kids next door. It's a hallucination, a hallucination, this must be a hallucination.
Mo Li shook his head, forgetting all the unreliable ideas in his mind, and then looked at Shi Xiang running towards the vendors again, a smile appearing on his lips.
3 of the seven, two, nine (one) two wines
I can't wait for today to end. I want to experience what it feels like to fly in the sky.
The elves of this world are born with the ability to fly, which Mo Li greatly admires.
Unless he borrows the abilities of his subordinates, Mo Li can only fly by exchanging items through the system shop.
This made Mo Li even more eager to form a contract with Tohka, but Tohka was completely focused on the food in front of her and didn't notice Mo Li at all.
No, she should have noticed it. As a spirit, Tohka is most sensitive to changes in the feelings of those around her.
"Mo Li, aren't you happy? Go on a date with me!"
No, no, why would you ask that?
"Because from the beginning, it felt like I was the only one going on and on, while Mo Li seemed to have something on her mind."
Mo Li gently stroked Shi Xiang's head, shook his head, and indicated that Shi Xiang was overthinking things.
"I'm fine. Maybe it's just that I'm not used to the sudden suspension of classes."
"Classes suspended? What's that?"
"By the way, Tohka, why don't you come to school with me too? That would make things much easier for me."
"Hey, you're with Mo Li? Great!"
"Let's go, it seems Kotori has prepared quite a few surprises for us!"
Mo Li took Shi Xiang's hand and walked away into the distance, temporarily putting the matter of the contract out of her mind and starting to concentrate.
But what's with this hotel in front of me? DreamPark, what kind of weird name is that?
Kotori, don't tell me this is also part of your plan.
Mo Li raised an eyebrow, looked up at the invisible Fraxinus in the air, his eyes filled with threat.
Kotori was startled by Mo Li's gaze and immediately stood up, exclaiming:
"Who came up with this idea? Come out and confess!"
"It's me. When it comes to dates, this is always the final destination, right? Absolutely!"
"Kawagoe, you've failed countless times doing that, and besides, you need to figure out who you're dating."
Kotori leaned back in her chair. She was destined to take the blame, and she could already imagine the fury she would face from Mo Li when she got back. It was terrifying.
Just as Tohka was about to go in and find out what was going on, Mo Li grabbed her arm. "Now is not the time for Tohka to see this. Don't lead other people's families astray."
Mo Li forcibly dragged Shi Xiang away; it was better to stay away from this place.
Suddenly, without any warning, rain began to fall from the sky, which made Mo Li sense a dangerous atmosphere.
People on the street began to scatter and hide, and the number of pedestrians gradually decreased, making the place deserted.
Mo Li looked around but didn't find anything unusual. Was it because there were still ordinary people around?
Since that's the case, then I'll do as you wish and find a secluded place to teach you a lesson.
"Tohka, let's go. It seems some people are already impatient."
"Hey, Mo Li, shall we play a little longer?"
"Let's go somewhere," Mo Li pointed in the direction of the back mountain and said, "As the last stop of our date, we must leave a lasting impression!"
Tohka nodded, letting Moli pull her toward the back mountain station.
After crossing an intersection, the rain stopped, which made Mo Li even more certain of what he was thinking.
The two reached a high point, where they could see the tram passing by through a fence.
"Mo Li, what is that? It's so long, won't it deform?"
"That's a tram, a common mode of transportation that people use, and it doesn't deform."
"Is that so? Will they combine, like they did on TV yesterday?"
"If you really want to put it that way, the tram is made up of a series of carriages linked together, so you could say that."
Upon hearing Mo Li's answer, Shi Xiang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, as this was the first time she had ever seen such a machine.
Watching the setting sun, Tohka turned around to face Mo Li and sighed:
"Mo Li, I'm so happy today. Is this what dating is like? Is it such a sweet thing?"
"Yes, this is our date!"
"So, Mo Li, you said you'd make a contract or something after the date, right? I'm ready."
Mo Li suddenly looked up, surprised that Shi Xiang still remembered this matter. He thought he would have to find another time.
Honestly, you're making me a little confused.
Mo Li felt as if he had suddenly been healed; he hadn't felt this way in a long time.
As Tohka closed her eyes, she heard Mo Li's voice of rejection:
"Although I really want to carry out the contract ceremony now, I need to get rid of the little rats hiding in the shadows first."
As soon as Mo Li finished speaking, a gunshot rang out from behind Shi Xiang, and a bullet swiftly shot toward Shi Xiang's head.
Just as the bullet was about to hit, Mo Li, with a second burst of blood, raised his hand to block it, deflecting the bullet, but the pain followed, indicating that the other side was prepared.
"Mo Li, are you alright?!"
"It's alright, Tohka, can you do me a favor?"
"Okay, Mo Li, you go ahead."
"Do not let anyone disturb me while I am fighting!"
Tears were already streaming down Tohka's face. She wiped them away with her hand and nodded quickly.
Seeing that Tohka had agreed, Mo Li summoned the Blade of Rebellion in his hand and pointed it at the suddenly appearing blonde magician.
"So you've finally shown up? I thought you were going to hide there forever."
"Heh, so you figured it out all along. No wonder you're the person the Boss is looking for. You've got some skills!"
Mo Li slowly raised his head and saw a blonde woman in the air looking at him with disdain. Her snow-white skin and clear features clearly indicated that she was from Europe.
The information about the person in front of him also appeared in Mo Li's mind: Alan Meyer, a member of DEM Company.
I don't like the way you look at me!
"Hehe, sorry, sorry, I'm used to judging people this way, especially those who are less capable than me."
"Hmph, you're just like them, thinking that wearing a bunch of tattered clothes will increase your fighting power? How naive and pathetic!"
