Just as Mo Li was eating the sandwich on his plate, his phone suddenly vibrated; someone was sending him a text message.
Mo Li was a little curious, since not many people knew his phone number. When he opened it, he found that it was from Origami.
"I have something important to discuss. I'll wait for you outside."
The content was simple, but Mo Li found it a bit strange. Logically, she should have been taken away by the AST people.
Why is she inviting me out so casually? Or has she escaped and is seeking my protection?
Regardless of the reason, Mo Li felt it was necessary to meet Origami.
So Mo Li stood up, put on her shoes, and prepared to go outside.
"What's wrong, Mo Li? Are you going out?"
"Okay, go prepare the things you need for the school trip. You guys eat first."
“I’ll go with you, Mo Li.”
"No need, Kotori will prepare Tohka's share for you. I'll be back in a bit."
After Mo Li finished speaking, he pushed open the door and went out. The elves inside looked at each other in surprise, and then continued to eat.
Mo Li hadn't gone far when she spotted Origami Tobiichi hiding behind a telephone pole, looking like a stalker.
"What are you doing, Tobiichi? You don't look like you're being chased!"
“Call me origami.”
"Huh? You called me out just for this? There wasn't any magician or anything like that afterwards?"
Mo Li looked around but couldn't find any trace of enemies. There wasn't even a human figure, let alone a display device. This made Mo Li a little disappointed.
Origami pulled Mo Li to a secluded spot, grabbed Mo Li's arms with both hands, and whispered:
"If I were being chased, Mo Li, would you come to my rescue?"
"Of course, speaking of which, it's been so long, how's your injury? And how did you escape from right under AST's nose?"
"After interrogation, he was sentenced to two months of solitary confinement!"
"What? This punishment is too lenient! It's over. Your AST is starting to rot from the inside out. There's no hope for you."
Mo Li shook his head. Although there were no casualties, it was too unscientific to only impose a two-month confinement for such a serious incident.
Origami knew that Mo Li had misunderstood the matter, so she explained:
"It was Mr. Westcott of DEM who vouched for me and managed to suppress the punishment."
"Wait, you mean Westcott? I remember hearing that name from Nia. Isn't he one of the three magicians who summoned the starter Pokémon thirty years ago? Has he come to Tengu City too?"
Mo Li immediately became alert. His arrival at this time of day made Mo Li suspicious of his purpose.
Origami was unaware of the secret behind this, but the fact that Mo Li uttered those words meant that this person was extremely dangerous.
Mo Li, who was still pondering why Victor had come to Tiangong City, was slammed against the wall by Origami.
"I have something to ask you. You said that the person who killed my parents was not the Balrog, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove this fact. How can I believe you?"
"That's easy, just put your hand out."
Origami obediently stretched out her hand, and a flash of light appeared, revealing the Whispering Scroll in her hand.
Seeing the surprised look on Origami's face, Mo Li explained:
"The Book of Whispers is written by an all-knowing angel who knows information about events that have occurred at any time and place in the past and present. The truth is contained within it."
Seeing this, Origami hurriedly tried to open the book to search for information, but unfortunately, it was completely blank.
Forget about the truth, you can't even see a single word on the origami.
"Don't bother, you can't use it. I'm just doing this to tell you that everything I'm saying is true."
"Then tell me the truth about what happened five years ago!"
"You have to discover the truth about some things yourself, but Kotori Itsuka is not your enemy."
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Origami could not hide her disappointment and lowered her head.
After a moment, Origami rallied. She would keep searching and one day she would find out.
"I'm willing to believe you, and I don't want to kill Shiori's sister and make her sad."
"I didn't expect you to be so gentle. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
"Wait a minute, as your partner, I hope you can come with me to buy drinks for our school trip."
"That's possible, but when do we become a couple?"
Mo Li had no objections, since he had plenty of time ahead of him anyway, but he was quite concerned about the couple that Origami mentioned.
If Tohka were to hear this, another small spacequake would inevitably erupt.
“Last time at the AST training base, you kissed me, and I gave my consent.”
"Wait, wait, wait, I remember you were the one who kissed me. And besides, I didn't agree to it at the time."
Origami clicked her tongue in an extremely faint sound, seemingly dissatisfied with Mo Li's excellent memory.
"But you didn't object, so we'll assume you agreed."
"I give up. Do you even realize how serious this statement is? Dating the Demon King will bring divine retribution."
"It's okay, anyway you said you'd come to save me!" Maru.
Chapter 119 Change of Destination, The Deal with Woodman
Inside a classroom at Lai Chan High School.
After finishing her lesson, homeroom teacher Tamae Okamine began to talk to the students about the school trip.
Since only Mo Li and Tohka are studying at school in the apartment, Yoshino and Nia cannot go together.
After entrusting them to Kotori's care, Mo Li was also looking forward to this trip.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Our school trip destination has changed this time."
"Huh! What? Why so suddenly?!"
The students were outraged, after all, their original destination was Okinawa, a famous tourist destination.
Bright beaches, azure ocean, delicious food in the hot summer, and a beautiful landscape.
Immediately, everyone started arguing and expressing their dissatisfaction.
Teacher Xiaozhu's face began to break out in a cold sweat. Although she had expected the students to be quite excited, she hadn't anticipated such a strong reaction. Except for Mo Li, Origami, and a few others, everyone stood up.
"Everyone, please calm down. It's because a travel company, in order to promote tourism, made an exceptional offer to the school, covering all of your expenses."
"So...where is the destination?"
"Oromi Island is also a very beautiful island by the sea!"
Mo Li frowned. For some reason, he suddenly felt that this change of destination was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
I've never even heard of this island. Looks like I'll have to check out the travel agency's background.
The other students' commotion subsided considerably. Although the location had changed, the thought of traveling for free made them feel different. It didn't matter where they went.
"Okay, now we'll be assigning rooms. Please find a friend and form a group. Also, lucky students will get a room to themselves."
As soon as Teacher Xiaozhu finished speaking, two sharp gazes shot straight at Mo Li.
Mo Li raised an eyebrow. Without even thinking, she knew it must be Tohka and Origami on either side; there couldn't be anyone else.
Each student stood up and began choosing their roommate.
"Mo Li, let's share a room."
"No, Tohka, boys and girls can't stay in the same room. How about you and Shiori stay together?"
"Hey, why? Don't we usually live together?"
As soon as Tohka said this, she immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding classmates, who were all whispering about something and occasionally giving Mo Li strange looks, as if they were looking at a pervert.
Similarly, Origami, upon hearing this, immediately stood up and confronted Mo Li, questioning him:
"What do you mean? What did Tohka mean by that?"
"Um, Origami, you've misunderstood. We just share an apartment, it's not what you're thinking."
Mo Li quickly waved his hand to explain, and the other students, seeing this, lost interest and went back to their seats.
But Origami wouldn't let him, staring intently at Mo Li, as if she didn't believe his explanation.
At this moment, Teacher Xiaozhu came over and smoothed things over for Mo Li, saying to Shi Xiang:
"Yatogami-kun, boys and girls can't live together, you know."
"why?"
"Why do you ask? In short, boys must live with boys and girls must live with girls. That's the school's rule."
Tohka pouted reluctantly, clearly unhappy with the rule.
Suddenly, Tohka seemed to remember something. She picked up the boy's jacket that Mo Li had draped over the chair and put it on, her voice becoming lower and more subdued.
"From today onwards, I'm a boy. That means I can share a room with Mo Li during the school trip, right?"
"No, Yatogami, even dressed like this, you still have to sleep in separate rooms for men and women."
"Teacher, I hope you will agree with Tohka Yatogami's statement and be sure to take a flexible approach."
Origami also stepped forward and spoke up, which greatly surprised the teacher and classmates. That genius girl actually...
Mo Li scratched his head; he really didn't want to waste his breath explaining to them.
"Honestly, everyone calm down. Teacher, there should be a separate room, right? Why don't you just give it to me?"
"It's possible, but are you really sure you can manage on your own?"
"Hmm, it's okay. I'm used to sleeping alone, and I feel a little uncomfortable sleeping with others."
In the end, Mo Li was assigned to a separate room, which finally calmed the anger between the two.
Shiori and Tohka share a room, while Origami shares a room with another girl.
After assigning rooms and seats on the plane, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
After getting the Ratatosk earpiece from Shiori, Mo Li went to the school rooftop and began calling Kotori.
"What's wrong, sister? Didn't I tell you not to contact me at this time?"
"It's me, Kotori. There's something I'd like you to investigate for me."
"Hey, Mo Li, what's going on?"
"My school trip suddenly changed destinations, and I suspect something's up. Could you help me find out about the background of the new travel agency and send me the information as soon as possible?"
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Qin Li sensed something unusual and quickly summoned Ling Yin.
Using the database in Ratatosk, the owner and shareholders of the travel company called CrossTravel were quickly identified, and they were found to have close ties with DEM.
Looking at the information on the screen, Kotori frowned. Just as Mo Li had suspected, this travel company was indeed extraordinary, and this school trip might be dangerous.
"Found it, Mo Li, this travel company is under DEM Corporation."
"As I suspected, their target is probably either me or Tohka."
"I will send Reine with you. If anything unexpected happens, Kannazuki will handle it."
"What do you mean? Kotori, aren't you going to stay and oversee Fraxinus?"
Mo Li sensed something was wrong. Why was it Kannazuki who was in charge? Shouldn't it be Kotori?
Kotori quickly gave her answer, sighing as she said:
"There's no other way. Headquarters suddenly called a roundtable meeting, and I have to go. So, Kannazuki, I'll leave things here to you."
"Don't worry, Commander, I, Kannazuki Kyouhei, will witness Mo Li-kun's youth... ugh!"
The sound of punches and kicks came from the other end of the earpiece. Is it really okay to leave everything to this guy?
"In short, Kannazuki is still trustworthy, and it's perfectly fine to entrust him with this task."
After Kotori finished speaking, she hung up the communication, indicating that the situation in Ratatosk was quite urgent.
Mo Li even thought that the reason why that old guy Woodman urgently recalled Kotori was because he had fought with him 5.2. It must be because he had taken Kotori away from him.
