Zongman: Please stop destroying the worldview!

I got angry and punched him - that's not bullying, right? It's at most a warning between men."

Renai's attitude finally softened, and she apologized bluntly, "I'm sorry, I thought you were bullying."

Chen Mo: "How could that be? There are no bad people who like the Empty Box!"

Last time, whenever the empty box was mentioned, Renai would become visibly happy, but this time, her mood instantly plummeted.

She hugged the round chandelier, bowed hastily, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. I'll leave now."

Before Rencai could leave, another girl appeared from behind the screen and asked, "Hey, what happened?"

She is tall, with long platinum hair, and casually wears a black and white striped T-shirt and a navy blue jacket on the upper body, and ripped jeans on the lower body. Although she is quite young, she has the temperament of middle-aged depression.

She saw Chen Mo and Ren Cai and asked, "Who is this? Do you know him?"

Chen Mo: "I'm Rencai's friend, right? There was a little misunderstanding just now. Who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Kawahara Momoka."

Tao Xiang looked at Chen Mo with interest and teased Ren Cai: "Didn't you say you would be lonely and friendless for the rest of your life? And now you've met a friend!"

Jinna replied uncomfortably, "We just met once at the station."

Chen Mo replied: "So what? Anyone who likes the Empty Box is my friend!"

He looked at Momoka and remembered something: "By the way, Kawahara Momoka, you are the author of Hollow Box, right?"

Taoxiang: "I guess so."

Chen Mo gave Rencai a thumbs up: "Congratulations, you succeeded in chasing your idol!"

Chapter 20 Chandelier Attack!

"What are you doing, all running here?"

Another girl with black hair and purple eyes appeared. She was wearing a school uniform and had a conspicuous adobo on her long, straight black hair.

Momoka: "It's okay, I just happened to meet a friend of Nina's, and he's kind of a fan of mine."

"Hello, I'm An Hesubaru, please take care of me!"

The girl named An Hemai winked at Chen Mo and smiled sweetly.

Chen Mo skillfully pulled out a business card. He seemed to have not performed traditional arts for some time. "I'm Chen Mo, a planeswalker. I'm currently running a magic shop. I can handle all kinds of difficult matters! Whether it's hauntings, found objects, curses, spiritual communication, or exterminating evil spirits, you can come to me for consultation. The fee is only 15,000 yen per time. If I can't help you, I won't charge you!"

Subaru took the business card and showed a perfectly surprised expression: "Wow, this is amazing, Nina knows such an amazing friend like you?"

Subaru could tell that he had a high EQ. After seeing Chen Mo's Yorozuya, he immediately expressed his surprise and admiration, and also praised Rencai.

But Nina didn't seem to buy it. She felt an awkward hostility towards Subaru and immediately turned her head away.

Subaru was not angry and continued talking to Chen Mo. Rencai seemed to have entered an abnormal state. She stood there holding the chandelier and seemed not to hear what others were saying.

"Hey, that's amazing, Niina, you know such an amazing friend?"

[Wow, that's pretty impressive! You know such an awesome friend?]

Chen Mo looked at Rencai, who was obviously upset, and asked Taoxiang:

"Why, did you have a fight?"

What's our quarrel to you? Get lost, little dwarf!

Momoka: "No, no, it's just a small problem."

Teacher, we were just joking.

It seemed to be a small disagreement between friends, so Chen Mo did not ask any further questions and moved on to the next topic.

Chen Mo: "By the way, Miss Kawaharaki, I haven't seen your new work recently."

Momoka: "I quit my old band. I just didn't have the creative conditions for a while, but now I'm thinking of forming a band with Nina and Subaru."

Chen Mo: "Great, please let me know when you have a performance!

I'm actually forming a band right now, but the personalities of the band members are a bit difficult to deal with, and it's a bit hard to cope with them."

Subaru continued with a smile, "That's what a band is like. Interesting people get together."

[How disgusting! Rats and cockroaches always hang out together.]

Chen Mo: "Indeed, although they are all troublesome children, they are all very interesting people."

[That girl is being bullied so pitifully... Let's stay away from her and not get dragged into this.]

[It's all his fault. He got into this mess by sticking his head in the wrong place.]

[Shh, she's very fierce, stop talking]

The patter of raindrops hit the doors and windows, and the humid wind blew in through the gaps, quietly staining the tables and chairs with moisture, which condensed into small drops and fell to the ground.

The desks and chairs were soaked in cold water, and my seat had been splashed with water, turning it into a puddle. The damp water stains could not cover up the curses and insults carved into the tabletop.

The other people in the classroom tacitly moved away from Renai's seat, forming an invisible semicircle. They chatted with each other, pretending not to see anything.

Nina's eyes were dull, as if she had fallen into some kind of trance. Subaru noticed that something was wrong with Nina after he came, so he offered, "Are you okay? How about I step aside for a moment?"

Chen Mo also stood up and curiously moved closer to observe Rencai's condition: "Hey, friend, what are you thinking about?"

Rencai shuddered, and when she came to her senses, she said perfunctorily to Chen Mo, "It's okay! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" Then she turned around and was about to leave.

Chen Mo quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't go yet. Are you having any trouble? Don't forget that you have a friend in a magic firm who specializes in solving all kinds of difficult problems!"

"You're so kind, showing concern for someone like me—I don't need your help!"

Rencai's suppressed emotions were finally ignited at this moment. She shouted regardless of the consequences, and then slapped Chen Mo's hand away with force.

The next moment she felt that this was a bit too much, so she hugged the chandelier and ran out of the hotel.

Tao Xiang was helpless. She explained to Chen Mo, "Don't mind it. This child has a bit of a weird personality. We just had a fight about it."

Chen Mo: "I can see that she seems to have some kind of... psychological trauma?"

Subaru: "Is it because of me? Nina seems to get angry when she sees me."

Taoxiang: "Don't take it personally, it's not your fault. Well, it's hard to explain what happened to Rencai. Anyway, I'm not to blame you."

-

Rencai ran for a distance in the rain. It was clearly a happy day for her to go out for dinner with Sister Taoxiang. She had clearly met her old friend Chen Mo and made a new friend Subaru. Everyone was very concerned about her.

But why does the closer and more caring it is, the more it recalls that hateful memory?

Rencai stopped in a daze. She heard footsteps mixed in with the raindrops behind her. It was Chen Mo chasing after her.

"You unlucky child, wait a moment!"

[You bitch, you like being a hero, don't you? Just wait!]

Renai turned around, feeling a pang of hunger in her stomach. She hadn't eaten much this time, and she was just angry. The rain fell, making her forehead and face feel damp and cool, and her arms were wet and uncomfortable.

Hitomi squatted on the ground, a searing pain radiating from her forehead, face, and stomach. Scratches and bruises covered her arms. But the other person wasn't feeling well either. She had taken a punch to the stomach and was now hunched over like a prawn, wailing.

Rencai widened her eyes and saw Chen Mo holding a black short stick in his hand. The tall man was walking towards her aggressively.

The bully's so-called boyfriend, a man with a ridiculously bravado, cursed and swung a stick at Nina.

[Are you convinced?! You dare to hit someone? You're a rebel!]

"Get out! Get out of here! Shut up!!"

As a black and red aura burst out, Renna's body moved before her reason. She swung the lamp cord and smashed the chandelier over, hitting the bastard with a stick with an unyielding will!

boom!

The chandelier fragments flew everywhere, and the man showed Chen Mo's gentle face under the street light. Rencai was suddenly stunned. For a moment, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away. The broken chandelier fell to the ground and rolled to the side.

What did she do to someone who was kind to her and whom she considered a friend from the first time they met?

Chen Mo felt a little confused. He asked Rencai, who suddenly became autistic after suddenly getting angry, "What are you doing?"

Renai's lips trembled and she didn't know how to answer, as if a pair of big hands were strangling her throat.

Before she squeezed out the first words that could be called words, Chen Mo showed a helpless expression and handed over the black stick in his hand: This is just a folding umbrella.

Chen Mo: "It's still raining, why are you rushing out? I'll borrow an umbrella from the store and bring it to you. It's okay for people to get caught in the rain, but if the lights get wet, the circuits might get flooded and stop working."

Chen Mo looked at the chandelier, its shade half broken, lying pitifully on the side of the road, as if accusing some wayward child of his brutality: "Okay, now there's no need to worry about whether it's broken or not."

"sorry,,,,"

Chen Mo clapped his hands and pulled Rencai, who was about to squat on the ground, up: "It's good to have self-defense awareness, but it's best to confirm the other party's identity before launching an attack.

If that blow just now had killed an innocent passerby, how much trouble would it have caused, right? "

"Why are you crying?"

Big tears flowed from Rencai's eyes, and soon snot followed. Combined with the rain falling from the sky, her face was completely messed up.

She burst into tears in front of Chen Mo: "What am I doing? Idiot! Idiot!! I am such a big fool!"

Chapter 21: Cats and Dogs vs. Jinna (Part )

"So, what happened?"

If you want to have fun with Naiha, it's just for fun. If you really want to see her personality, then you should wait for Nina to cause trouble. Chen Mo couldn't even communicate with her.

Taking Chen Mo's umbrella and picking up the lamp on the ground, Rencai bowed sharply to Chen Mo and ran away.

"Don't follow me! I don't need your fake concern!"

Chen Mo took two quick steps and caught up with Rencai: "Is there a possibility that we can communicate using human language?"

The child, tears streaming down her face, continued to sulk, "You're trying to appear generous, aren't you? Do you think that looking down on someone like me with pity will satisfy your desire to be a good person?"

Chen Mo immediately responded, "That's great. I just like to pretend to pity others."

At this time, the phone rang. Chen Mo had no choice but to stop and pick up the phone. Fengchuan Qinggao's voice came from the other end:

"Um, Chen Mo, where should I go now?"
