Multiverse: Why does the world show a health bar? !

"You've changed a lot, haven't you?"

"Huh? What kind of change?"

It was a morning that required going to school. If possible, Li Mo really didn't want to get out of bed. In Fuyuki City, he had slept in a cave, long-term on a camp bed. But the bed at home was soft and comfortable.

How nice.

But he still had to go to school for a bit.

So, he left the house and ran into his neighbor.

His deskmate, Yukinoshita Yukino.

And upon meeting, she said something like this.

"You've become a bit better-looking?"

"Yukinoshita-san, that's just your imagination."

"True, no matter how good-looking you become, you're still you."

"Indeed, no matter how good-looking I become, I still can't compare to Yukinoshita-san."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Yukinoshita Yukino slightly raised her head, seemingly satisfied with Li Mo's words, like a proud white swan.

The conversation at the doorstep ended, and the two walked toward the elevator together.

Through this brief exchange, Li Mo regained his usual state.

After last night's reflection, he had already drafted a plan. Initially, he had planned to use the weekend to practice his magecraft with Yurine-san. There was also that immortal demon there, making it the perfect training partner.

After all, he had no feelings for that scummy demon girl, at most he'd pay her some wages.

Li Mo wasn't exactly short on money.

They went downstairs, walked out of the lobby, and reached the roadside, where they saw a car.

Li Mo wasn't very familiar with cars.

To him, they were just a means of transportation. Besides, the monetary value and social status that cars represented were nothing but fleeting clouds to him now.

But he recognized the person sitting in the car.

So, Li Mo glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino beside him: "Your sister came to take you?"

"I didn't want her to."

"Should I leave first then?"

What did their sisterly conversation have to do with him?

Li Mo didn't think there was any room for him to intervene in the Yukinoshita sisters' affairs.

"Up to you."

Yukinoshita Yukino gave a very casual response.

Li Mo didn't leave immediately.

He noticed Yukinoshita Haruno's gaze was fixed on him.

"Li-san, right? You're Yukino's classmate. I can give you a ride to school."

Yukinoshita Haruno rolled down the car window, revealing a face similar to Yukino's. Her shoulder-length hair gave her a different aura compared to Yukino.

If the younger sister was the snow atop a high peak, then the older sister was the sun in the sky.

The former was cold, inside and out.

The latter, on the surface, exuded warmth.

As for what lay beneath…

Li Mo said, "Sure, I'd rather not ride my bike anyway."

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the shameless guy beside her.

Then, at Haruno's invitation, she sat in the front passenger seat.

Li Mo took the back seat.

He clasped his hands together, resting them on his knees.

From the rearview mirror, he could see the eldest Yukinoshita sister glancing at him.

"Li Mo, this is our second meeting, right?"

"Yes, Haruno-san. Thank you for the ride."

"No need to be so formal. But isn't there something off about how you're addressing me? Didn't you call me Haruno-nee before?"

"With Yukinoshita-san, your real sister here, I'm worried she might get jealous."

"I'd actually love to see Yukino jealous. How about you try calling me that, little brother?"

"I don't mind. Like Haruno-nee, I'm also curious to see that side of Yukinoshita-san."

"That's enough."

The younger sister's voice carried a hint of irritation.

As the two chatted, the conversation's focus shifted to her.

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly felt that her sister and this classmate of hers were two of a kind!

...

...

At the gates of Soubu High, Li Mo and Yukinoshita Yukino got out of the car almost simultaneously.

After waving goodbye to Yukinoshita Haruno in the driver's seat, Li Mo looked at his deskmate beside him and said, "Are you mad?"

Her expression was as calm as ever, but the slight curve of her lips and the icy look in her eyes made it clear she wasn't happy.

"Of course."

"Sorry. My dear Yukinoshita-san, from now on, I'll agree to any request you make."

"Stay away from me."

"That's the one thing I can't do."

"Hmph." Yukinoshita Yukino let out a cold laugh and walked ahead on her own.

Li Mo watched her retreating figure and didn't immediately follow…

So, Yukinoshita Haruno had come for him. Hmm…

Was she checking out what kind of bug had appeared near her sister? Indeed, she must have been deeply impressed by him last time, right?

Li Mo recalled his brief interaction with Yukinoshita Haruno last time. He had been able to see through her nature at a glance and bluntly pointed it out.

Probably only he would do something like that, right?

Whatever she had noticed, Li Mo didn't really care.

In this world, only if Yurine suddenly showed up with a chainsaw would he take things seriously.

But that witch was busy with her love-hate (one-sided slaughter) relationship with her demon. Why would she suddenly come looking for him?

Nonsense.

He collected his thoughts and entered the school.

School life was no different from what he remembered. But those who had seen Li Mo before said he had changed somewhat.

Mostly that he had become more handsome.

A side effect of becoming a fox.

In truth, Li Mo had already been holding back. Otherwise, if he fully unleashed his aura, he could charm anyone.

Admittedly, among the six attributes, there was no "Charm" option. But as his physical attributes improved, his appearance had changed somewhat. Problems like acne, blackheads, and oily skin that plagued ordinary people didn't affect him.

A human body at its limit.

It was simply unreasonable.

"You seem a bit distracted today."

"Yukinoshita, you're very observant."

In the morning, Yukinoshita Haruno had driven them to school. So, when it was time to go home, it was just the two of them.

Since becoming neighbors, this kind of scene had become more common.

Yes, walking home with the school's top beauty.

Even though they left school late, and most students had already gone home, they were still seen by some, and rumors spread.

But so what?

Li Mo's life wasn't affected.

Yukinoshita was the untouchable flower on the high peak.

And he was the steep mountain—visible to all, but unapproachable.

The time he spent in other worlds far exceeded his time in this one. He had no interest in making other friends.

Every time he returned from a dungeon, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

"Your illness… it does have aftereffects, doesn't it?"

"Maybe?"

"Every so often, your demeanor changes. Even… I thought it was my imagination, but sometimes you seem to age overnight, as if years have passed. But today, you seem younger than you were yesterday."

"Seem," indicating the speaker's uncertainty.

Yukinoshita Yukino could only rely on her memory to recall Li Mo from yesterday.

Her back-row classmate rarely left behind photos of himself. Whether intentional or not, it was hard to say.

"Age… it's probably just the way I dress. Yukinoshita-san, you should be more concerned about my mental state, right?"

"From the way you're teasing me, it doesn't seem too serious."

"Is that so?"

"But if you're feeling any psychological pressure, you can talk to me. I'll be more confidential than a tree hollow."

"Thanks, my dear Yukinoshita-chan."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't deny the term of endearment.
