Mai Sakurajima watched Lin Ye and Yukino Yukinoshita bicker with each other and found it surprisingly interesting.
She didn't know much about Yukino Yukinoshita, but from that cold temperament alone, she knew this was a cool, reticent girl. Yet now, she was bickering with Lin Ye, giving off the feeling of a pair of quarreling lovers.
However, the two were not lovers, and Lin Ye already had a girl with whom he shared an intimate relationship—Ai Hoshino. She was a little curious about what kind of future would unfold if Lin Ye and Yukino continued to interact like this.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Mai Sakurajima coughed twice. "If you two have any thoughts, please speak up!"
She looked at Lin Ye.
Faced with the help of Lin Ye and Yukino Yukinoshita, if the two didn't propose any conditions, she would actually feel embarrassed and wouldn't know how to repay them. Even though she had just expressed her intention to repay the two, she didn't know how she should do so.
Now that Lin Ye had a proposal and ideas, she felt she could listen and consider them instead.
But whether to agree or not depended on whether Lin Ye's condition was reasonable and within her range of acceptance.
"What did Miss Sakurajima say?"
Yukino Yukinoshita saw the change in Lin Ye's line of sight and thought of something.
"Asking us to speak up if we have any thoughts."
Upon hearing this, she immediately guessed that Mai Sakurajima wanted to repay the two of them.
"I... I don't have any. I'm just doing what I want to do, that's all. Miss Sakurajima doesn't need to harbor too much gratitude."
As an actor, Mai Sakurajima had come into contact with many, many people of all kinds and had played characters with many personalities. From Yukino's statement, she realized that Yukino was speaking from the heart, not just modest words.
"I understand. Then what about you, Student Lin!"
She looked at Lin Ye. "Please speak frankly, but I cannot guarantee I will agree."
"Senpai, if you don't mind, wear a bunny girl outfit for me to see!"
Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Lin Ye. This prospective fiancé of hers was really not polite at all; the girl asked, and he answered directly.
Wearing a bunny girl outfit involved something erotic, but it wasn't very severe. Compared to a maid outfit, it just crossed the line a little bit.
This guy just liked sexy outfits.
Mai Sakurajima should refuse. One must know that Mai Sakurajima was a big star.
Yukino Yukinoshita thought so. Compared to Mai Sakurajima who was unwilling to wear a bunny girl outfit, it was better to be herself, a girl willing to wear a maid outfit!
"Okay."
She pursed her lips and thought for a while, then agreed.
"A normal bunny girl outfit."
"Can there be an abnormal bunny girl outfit?"
"Of course not."
Mai Sakurajima huffed. "Being fantasized about in a bunny girl outfit by a younger junior student... I can accept that. I'm indifferent to it. This is gratitude for your help, don't think too much."
"Senpai is so good, truly good to me."
When saying this, Lin Ye deliberately glanced at Yukino. This made Yukino a little unhappy. Didn't she also agree to Lin Ye's request to wear a maid outfit? What did this look mean?
Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent, just staring at Lin Ye, making Lin Ye feel a bit creeped out.
"It's just repayment," Mai Sakurajima emphasized.
"Some people aren't even willing to offer repayment. I'm already very happy that Senpai is willing to agree to this excessive request of mine. This can be considered fulfilling a small wish of mine in this world."
The moment he discovered that this world contained Mai Sakurajima, this Bunny Girl Senpai, his first reaction was the hope to witness Mai Sakurajima appearing before him dressed in a sexy bunny girl outfit with his own eyes.
And today, it was finally realized.
"You are..."
Mai Sakurajima thought about it but still didn't ask. She always felt that Lin Ye had an inexplicable obsession with her.
But thinking of her identity as a big star, wasn't it normal for men to have thoughts about her?
Lin Ye thought of another matter. "By the way, Senpai, have you heard of Puberty Syndrome?"
Some things, only those who had experienced the events would understand the relevant information.
Even Lin Ye himself, before experiencing the Strange Game, wouldn't have believed the information related to the Strange Game seen on the internet at the first moment.
This was the normal reaction of an average person.
"Puberty Syndrome?"
Mai Sakurajima frowned and recalled for a moment, but didn't have any relevant memories.
"No, first time hearing it. Does this have anything to do with the mutation on my body?"
"It's possible, but I can't be certain."
Lin Ye didn't get a definite answer from Mai Sakurajima. "I'll look for relevant information. Senpai doesn't need to worry too much."
"Thank you."
Mai Sakurajima thanked him once again.
Now, the time was approaching eleven o'clock.
Lin Ye had already caught that touch of sleepiness emerging on Yukino's face.
"Yukinoshita, Senpai, it's getting late. Let's end the chat here for today! Rest early."
Mai Sakurajima nodded in agreement.
Seeing Lin Ye nod, Yukino also stood up. She sent a message to Lin Ye: the matter of the maid outfit would wait until they returned to Chiba tomorrow.
Lin Ye accepted it. The pity was that the thought of appreciating Yukino in a maid outfit tonight had fallen through.
He followed the two women to Yukino's hotel room, gave a few instructions, and agreed on a meeting time for tomorrow morning before returning to his own room.
Mai Sakurajima had been found.
The matter of coming to Tokyo could be considered successfully completed.
Returning to Chiba tomorrow, Mai Sakurajima would temporarily live at Yukino Yukinoshita's place. Wait until next Monday when his superpower refreshed and the defect disappeared, Mai Sakurajima should be able to return to normal.
Lin Ye went to the bathroom to wash up.
In the adjacent room,
Yukino Yukinoshita listened to the splash splash sound from the bathroom.
"Clearly can't see, can't touch, but objectively exists."
This was truly magical.
Puberty Syndrome?
And not the influence of the Strange?
Yukino Yukinoshita felt that Lin Ye still knew many, many things that she didn't know. He was still hiding many secrets.
In this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita's curiosity toward Lin Ye rose once again.
No wonder Father, Mother, and Elder Sister...
Every time she thought of this point, she didn't know how to face Lin Ye.
"Just maintain contact first; if it's not suitable, then end it."
The cool young girl listened to the sound of flowing water in the bathroom, thinking of the thoughts and good feelings regarding Mai Sakurajima that Lin Ye had once mentioned.
Lin Ye liked Mai Sakurajima.
This was what she heard Lin Ye say with her own ears. That wasn't a joke, but heartfelt words from the bottom of his heart.
And just now, Lin Ye made a request to Mai Sakurajima right in front of her. In Yukino Yukinoshita's view, this gave the feeling that Lin Ye didn't value her feelings very much.
Her status in Lin Ye's heart wasn't very high.
Inexplicably uncomfortable.
Sitting quietly on the bed, Yukino Yukinoshita felt the emotion of slight sourness overflowing from her chest.
This heart, when did it begin to have changes?
Click...
The bathroom door opened, and faint water vapor permeated out.
Yukino Yukinoshita came back to her senses.
"I'm going to wash. Miss Sakurajima, you can rest first."
The cool young girl finished speaking and hugged her bathrobe, heading to the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later,
The lights in the hotel room were extinguished, leaving silence.
"Goodnight."
Yukino closed her eyes.
To her left, Mai Sakurajima silently gazed at this young girl.
Cannot communicate, cannot converse. This feeling was really terrible.
But fortunately, there was still someone who could see her.
...
May 1st.
Yukino Yukinoshita, who was in a deep sleep, heard a knock on the door. She was sleeping rather groggily and didn't respond immediately.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz...
The phone vibrated. She fumbled with her right hand and found the phone. "Hello."
The girl was still a little groggy, not fully awake.
"Haven't gotten up?"
"Mn."
"I'll look for you again in an hour."
After speaking, Lin Ye actively hung up the phone. However, when he came out again after returning to his room, he noticed the sound of the adjacent room door opening.
Lin Ye looked over and saw Mai Sakurajima coming out.
"Senpai, good morning."
"Morning."
Mai Sakurajima's hair was a bit messy. She smoothed it out, and it quickly became straight.
"Come eat breakfast with me!"
Seeing the girl hesitate a little, Lin Ye continued, "Not the hotel buffet. We'll go to the convenience store outside to buy sandwiches or bento."
"Mn."
She agreed.
The two left the hotel and headed to the nearest convenience store.
Lin Ye looked at the bento, sandwiches, and fried noodles on the shelf, asking the girl which one she needed.
"Egg and ham sandwich."
"Okay."
Lin Ye took two sandwiches and went to the cashier counter to pay the bill.
"The money, I will pay you back."
"How about..."
"I will pay you back."
Mai Sakurajima, guessing what Lin Ye was going to say, spoke up a step ahead.
The two found a place outside and started eating.
But Lin Ye discovered a trace of gloom on Mai Sakurajima's face.
"Are you worried I will forget you, Senpai?"
A look of astonishment flashed across the girl's face.
She was spot on.
"Is it that obvious?"
"I can't think of other things that would make Senpai's mood bad. It couldn't be that Yukino affected your rest last night, right!"
"Haha."
A faint smile appeared on Mai Sakurajima's face. "Don't think of beautiful girls as that perfect. When sleeping, their true form is revealed."
"It seems Senpai has some. In that case, sleep with me tonight! Let me see if Senpai has any bad habits."
"In your next life!"
"Senpai wants to make a promise with me for the next life? That's not good, is it!"
Lin Ye hesitated instead.
A helpless smile flashed past Mai Sakurajima's face.
"If Miss Hoshino hears these words of yours, she will be sad."
"Ai-chan shouldn't be sad. But currently, she can't hear what you say either, Senpai. She would only think I'm talking to myself, and would even think I'm talking to her!"
"..."
Mai Sakurajima had nothing to say. This was also Lin Ye's private matter, and she wasn't qualified to intervene excessively.
"When I woke up in the morning, I was indeed worried about whether you would forget me, but now it looks like you won't."
"Of course, I am special. Obviously, Senpai's special situation can't affect me. Mn, simply put, I am a special existence to Senpai. Senpai must cherish me properly."
"..."
Mai Sakurajima had never seen such a straightforward person.
But from the smile difficult to conceal at the corners of Lin Ye's mouth, she understood that the purpose of Lin Ye's words was also to alleviate her depressed mood at this time, to make her happier and more relaxed.
"Wait until you break up with Ai Hoshino, then come talk about letting me cherish you."
"Pity, Ai and I won't break up."
Mai Sakurajima was surprised, subconsciously thinking Lin Ye was single-minded and unswerving until death towards Ai Hoshino.
"Ai-chan and I haven't dated at all, so where does breaking up come from? Therefore, Senpai, let's talk."
"Go away."
In this moment, Mai Sakurajima's fair cheeks could no longer conceal her smile.
After finishing the sandwiches, Mai Sakurajima followed Lin Ye to his room.
Lin Ye drew the curtains and opened the window.
Fresh air blew in, and the bright sunlight was gentle.
Mai Sakurajima walked to the window but noticed a dark brown bag placed at the foot of the bed.
It was the bag Lin Ye carried back when he found her yesterday; it was a clothes bag.
This time, Mai Sakurajima glanced inside the bag. The color and style of the clothes instantly made her realize what was inside.
"Maid outfit?"
"Yes."
"Bought for Miss Hoshino?"
Currently, Mai Sakurajima regarded Lin Ye and Ai Hoshino as a couple who hadn't officially dated.
"It was bought for Yukino. She promised me she would wear the maid outfit for me to see."
Mai Sakurajima was astonished once again.
Even willing to wear a maid outfit for you; what kind of relationship is this?
"You guys... never mind."
She thought about it and didn't ask.
"After I recover to normal next week, I will wear the bunny girl outfit. It's not allowed to be too revealing."
"Can I take photos?"
"What do you think!"
"I understand, Senpai is willing to let me take photos."
"Not allowed."
Mai Sakurajima explicitly refused.
Bathing in the sunlight shooting into the room, Lin Ye and Mai Sakurajima conversed, ranging from trivial daily matters to interesting things in the entertainment industry, as well as Lin Ye's studies at Sobu High. They also mentioned Yukino Yukinoshita, the school beauty of Sobu High.
"Student Lin has never had thoughts about the school beauty of Sobu High?"
She asked teasingly.
"I have. I even confessed, but was rejected every time."
After listening, Mai Sakurajima only felt that Lin Ye could refresh her perception of him time and again.
Traveling to Tokyo together with the girl who rejected his confession.
The relationship between these two was really complex.
Thump thump thump thump...
A knock sounded on the room door.
"It's Yukinoshita."
Lin Ye walked to the room door and opened it.
The girl with long black hair stood before the door. Today she wore a white shirt on her upper body and a blue-black pleated skirt, a standard youthful style.
"Sorry, didn't rest well last night, got up late."
"It's fine."
"Let's go eat breakfast together!"
"I've already eaten."
"..."
Yukino Yukinoshita just felt somewhat doubtful, but it wasn't that Lin Ye couldn't eat beforehand; it was just... a bit strange.
"I'll go eat first."
"Okay. By the way, Yukino, do you still remember why we came to Tokyo?"
"Wasn't it to accompany you to Akihabara to buy a maid outfit?"
A new day. Yukino Yukinoshita's memories regarding Mai Sakurajima had faded once again, or even disappeared.
"I'm waiting for the moment Yukino wears the maid outfit."
Yukino Yukinoshita went to the first-floor restaurant alone to eat.
"I accompanied Lin Ye to Akihabara to buy a maid outfit."
"Why would I agree to come with him?"
She recalled for a moment, only feeling that the blurred memories couldn't form a closed logic.
After eating breakfast, she came to Lin Ye's room, still confused.
"Someone else has been here?"
Looking at the two cups on the table, Yukino Yukinoshita inquired.
"It's Senpai—Mai Sakurajima."
Lin Ye added a sentence, "She is sitting right there."
Yukino Yukinoshita saw an empty chair where no one sat. "Early in the morning, please don't joke."
On this day,
Mai Sakurajima's presence had disappeared further. Mentioning 'Mai Sakurajima' to Yukinoshita could no longer evoke the girl's relevant memories.
"Yukino, sit down first. The following matters I'm going to say are serious, without a shred of joking elements."
Under Lin Ye's solemn and serious gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to understand and nodded, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Soon, she finished listening to the things Lin Ye said.
"Really?"
She asked one last time.
"Really."
"I believe you. Miss Sakurajima, please return to Chiba with me afterwards and temporarily live at my home! Lin Ye will stay in the guest room to provide help."
"Thank you."
Mai Sakurajima looked at that girl who had forgotten her, her heart touched.
"Student Lin."
"What is it?"
"Tomorrow, I'll go to your place!"
She made a decision. "There is no need to continue troubling Student Yukinoshita."
Being forgotten every day,
Mai Sakurajima thought it over and felt it was actually more convenient to be together with Lin Ye. She also held a certain degree of trust in Lin Ye's moral character.
"Okay," Lin Ye agreed.
Since Mai Sakurajima proposed it actively, he had no necessity to refuse. Given Yukino's current condition, there was indeed no need to continue troubling Yukino.
"What was said?"
Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively sensed a problem.
"Senpai is very much looking forward to going to your place, Yukino. It has the feeling of staying overnight at a friend's house."
This gave Mai Sakurajima an extra sense of novelty.
Being a star from childhood to adulthood, she had almost no friends. The classmates she occasionally conversed with didn't count as friends either. Up to now, she hadn't had the experience of staying overnight at a friend's house.
This time,
She was looking forward to it a little.
1:00 PM.
The group of three arrived at the apartment where Yukino Yukinoshita lived.
Mai Sakurajima judged Yukino's family situation solely from this apartment.
A single girl living in a two-bedroom, one-living room bachelor apartment; this accommodation condition far exceeded the average person.
Beautiful person, good family background; unknown how many men admired her.
Because of the existence of Mai Sakurajima, a person who couldn't be seen, Yukino Yukinoshita made quite a few preparations and asked about Mai Sakurajima's needs through Lin Ye.
To this,
Mai Sakurajima just shook her head.
Evening.
Lin Ye and Yukino Yukinoshita went out to buy ingredients.
In the setting with just the two of them, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't ask about matters regarding Mai Sakurajima. She had doubts in her heart, but still chose to believe Lin Ye.
Supermarket.
Lin Ye and Yukino Yukinoshita were selecting ingredients.
"There are police cars over at the park again; the police are searching."
"Could it be a homicide occurred again?"
"Don't know. Heard someone dumped a body, but the corpse wasn't found."
"I remember it happened once last month too, right!"
"Chiba has become dangerous recently too. Better go out as little as possible at night!"
...
The middle-aged women pushing shopping carts whispered.
But the words of the conversation fell into Lin Ye and Yukino's ears.
"Student Lin, do you think..."
"Don't be curious. For your own safety, stay away from places with that strange information."
Seeing Lin Ye this serious, Yukino Yukinoshita gave an 'mn' to indicate she understood.
Subsequently, the two selected fresh ingredients.
About ten minutes later,
The two returned to the apartment.
Yukino Yukinoshita walked into the kitchen and began to be busy.
Sizzle sizzle...
Wearing an apron, Yukino Yukinoshita began preparing the cuisine, holding a spatula and constantly stir-frying the vegetables.
The fragrance of aromatic cuisine drilled out from the kitchen, wafting into the living room.
"She will be a good wife in the future."
Based solely on the standard of cooking, Mai Sakurajima held extremely high confidence in Yukino Yukinoshita becoming an excellent wife.
"Is Senpai hinting that I should marry her?"
"If you can succeed in chasing her, I would suggest it. Girls who are beautiful, rich, and can cook well are rare."
"Chasing won't succeed."
"So little confidence in yourself?"
"Girls aren't won by chasing, but by attraction."
There was some logic to these words.
Mai Sakurajima also approved. "But if you aren't active, the girl won't give you a chance."
"For example, if I chase you, Senpai, would you give me a chance?"
A rhetorical question stumped Mai Sakurajima.
Would she give Lin Ye a chance?
Her first reaction was denial.
"If you don't chase, you definitely don't have this chance."
"Look! Chasing is useless too. The moment I asked, Senpai already had an idea. Afterwards, no matter what I do, that idea of Senpai's is hard to change."
"If you really... chase, it's not like I can't give a chance."
Mai Sakurajima finally squeezed out such a sentence.
"Hahaha, Senpai is truly gentle. It seems my choice to travel far to Tokyo to find you this time was correct."
Yukino Yukinoshita came to the dining room carrying the dishes. "Can come eat now."
She had heard seventy to eighty percent of Lin Ye's 'talking to himself' just now.
Having been rejected by her a few times, now he didn't plan to pursue her at all, mainly focusing on 'not moving a muscle'.
This made her feel mentally tired.
Soon,
Yukino Yukinoshita witnessed a magical scene once again.
May 3rd.
Early in the morning.
Lin Ye was woken up again by a ticklish sensation.
"Haruno, don't make trouble."
He turned over and continued to sleep.
But the hair strands still constantly touched his cheek, causing Lin Ye to open his eyes and look over. "Senpai..."
It was Mai Sakurajima.
At this time, Mai Sakurajima was pinching her long black hair with one hand, the hair tips teasing the skin of his cheek.
"Good that you're awake."
"You didn't react when I called you just now."
In that instant, she had thought her existence had been ignored by Lin Ye as well.
"How about I sleep hugging you tonight!"
"Continue sleeping and dreaming!"
"Sigh, is this kind of dream allowed?"
Mai Sakurajima rolled her eyes.
After Lin Ye finished washing up, he went to prepare breakfast.
Yukino Yukinoshita was woken up by Lin Ye.
Regarding the matter of Lin Ye staying at her apartment, Yukino was already used to it. She even felt that if Lin Ye kept living there, she wouldn't have too great of an averse emotion.
"Thank you for these past two days, Yukino."
He said it on behalf of Mai Sakurajima.
For Mai Sakurajima, although Yukino forgot her every day, and more severely each time, she would forever remember that initial enthusiastic help and would forever be grateful for it.
"Why thank me all of a sudden?"
"Living at your place, doesn't this need thanking you?"
"No need, there's no necessity to thank me specially."
"Someone wants to thank you."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Lin Ye and finally accepted. "I accept it, but don't come to my place in the future."
"Sad. If I become homeless, can I still not come?"
"Wait until you become my fiancé then we'll talk!"
"That day feels somewhat distant to me."
You don't actively chase, of course it's distant.
Yukino didn't say it out loud, maintaining her cool posture.
...
Lin Ye bid farewell to Yukino and left the apartment together with Mai Sakurajima.
The morning sunlight sprinkled over the earth, rendering a touch of faint golden brightness for this city.
A man and a woman walked on the sidewalk by the street.
Lin Ye didn't rush to head to his own apartment, but started strolling with Mai Sakurajima.
"My apartment can't compare to Yukino's place."
"Is there a bed?"
"There is."
"Who sleeps on the bed?"
Mai Sakurajima handed the choice to Lin Ye.
"Since Senpai said so, of course Senpai sleeps. I'll sleep too. My bed is actually quite big, a 1.5-meter large bed, enough for the two of us to sleep."
"I'll sleep on the floor!"
Mai Sakurajima ignored the words Lin Ye just said.
For the current Mai Sakurajima, she just needed to kill the remaining time of this week, safely pass these last four days, and welcome the next week when everything returned to normal.
She actually hadn't not thought about what if next Monday came and her abnormality continued.
But every time she thought of this point, she stopped thinking and didn't continue to think further.
Vain worries, that's all.
If she hadn't returned to normal by Monday and everything remained the same, then...
Mai Sakurajima looked at Lin Ye's profile, and Lin Ye's promise to her emerged in her mind—to help her solve the abnormality.
"With Senpai staring at me like this, I'm actually quite embarrassed."
As the voice fell, Mai Sakurajima retracted her line of sight with a whoosh. She glanced away, moving her red lips lightly to speak. "Your illusion."
"Then why is Senpai blushing?"
"Your illusion."
She repeated, but her expression appeared slightly embarrassed.
...
Mai Sakurajima came to an opposite sex's bachelor apartment for the first time.
The not-so-large room was quite clean. There was no strange smell in the air, and no messy, dirty feeling.
She felt it was quite nice.
"Senpai, how about I go find a hotel nearby to stay for a few nights!"
Mai Sakurajima looked up. She knew Lin Ye was considering her, but she had accepted it, so why did Lin Ye have to ask this extra question!
"No need, unless you feel you have a lot of money."
"I... actually have quite a lot of money."
"How much?"
Lin Ye held up a finger.
"One million?"
"One hundred million."
Mai Sakurajima: ???
"And it's US dollars."
"Selling me wouldn't get one hundred million US dollars."
Mai Sakurajima didn't believe a word of it.
If Lin Ye had one hundred million US dollars, would he still live in this narrow apartment? The clothes on his body were also ordinary styles.
Mai Sakurajima still possessed a certain ability to appreciate and distinguish clothes.
At least Lin Ye's dress style and accommodation were not the choices of a billionaire.
"Does Senpai really plan to sell?"
Lin Ye's single sentence instantly stunned Mai Sakurajima.
This guy wouldn't really have thoughts of buying, right!
"I'm not worth one hundred million, furthermore US dollars."
"Senpai, sell or not."
"You wouldn't want to buy, right!"
Mai Sakurajima asked hesitantly.
"Buy. If Senpai is willing to sell, I will definitely buy."
She didn't know if Lin Ye was joking or serious.
"Wait until you earn one hundred million US dollars before talking to me about this matter."
Mai Sakurajima just treated this as Lin Ye's joke.
Where would an average person have one hundred million US dollars!
"I remembered it. Senpai can't go back on your word."
One hundred million US dollars.
A matter of time.
Lin Ye didn't worry about the money problem.
Wait until Haruno utilized that sum of money earned from the casino; money begetting money, one hundred million would be even less of a problem.
The money-making project Lin Ye currently could think of that ranked first was actually games, 2D gacha mobile games.
Raking in money was truly raking in money.
With memories of his past life as reference, Lin Ye had already contacted Haruno to let Haruno recruit relevant talents. Considering Japan's national holidays and workplace atmosphere, Lin Ye had even once proposed the suggestion of going to Xia Country to establish a branch company.
After all,
Efficiency was the highest.
If they really dawdled in making the game, by the day it was done, the lily flowers would be cold (it would be too late).
And even if this money was really given to Mai Sakurajima, turning a hand, wouldn't it still return to his hands?
Lin Ye looked at this big star in front of him with a chuckle.
This look made the girl tremble involuntarily, her back going cold.
Could it be Lin Ye really had the confidence to earn one hundred million US dollars?
Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but worry.
Where exactly was she worth one hundred million US dollars?
With this money, what woman couldn't Lin Ye find? Playing until collapse would be no problem.
This must be a joke, a joke; she didn't need to believe it.
Mai Sakurajima reminded herself.
"Senpai, I'll take you around the vicinity to get familiar."
Lin Ye took the girl to the vicinity.
This was Mai Sakurajima's first time coming to Chiba.
Previously, even when filming, she hadn't come to Chiba.
toward this city,
She was unfamiliar yet curious.
"There should be no one at school now, right!"
"Golden Week holiday, schools are all on break. If Senpai wants to go see Sobu High, let's do it next week!"
She wanted to go see Sobu High; she was more interested in the Service Club where Lin Ye and Yukino Yukinoshita were.
The two strolled on the streets of Chiba.
For lunch and dinner, Lin Ye found a private room and ordered two portions of meals to avoid arousing curiosity and suspicion from others.
Mai Sakurajima ate the steaming hot noodles, her mood much better.
When she couldn't be observed by people, the hardest thing was buying items and eating. She could take things freely for free, but she couldn't get past that barrier in her own heart.
She had her own principles and bottom line.
And now, Lin Ye's appearance helped her solve this problem, allowing her to enjoy steaming hot, delicious cuisine.
Night.
The two strolled on the street. The evening breeze blew, the moist air mixed with a trace of chill.
Lin Ye planned to return to the apartment with Mai Sakurajima first.
But at this time,
Lin Ye heard a prolonged, melodious sound.
That was a female voice, coming from...
Lin Ye looked up.
He remembered that direction was Chiba Park.
...
