She was the one who had been startled, so why did she need to say thank you?
More importantly, why could this man see her?
However, the sensation of his arm around her waist, their skin touching, made the girl uncomfortable.
She quickly broke free from Rosen's embrace, stepping aside and asking in surprise, "You can really see me?"
"Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with my eyesight."
Rosen looked at the Bunny Girl in front of him with a smile.
This response caused the Bunny Girl's emotions to fluctuate again, and a hint of joy and a "survivor's relief" expression appeared on her beautiful face.
"You just scared me."
She blinked, her voice trembling slightly.
"I didn't expect you could really see me."
"With all due respect, in your current outfit, I don't think anyone in this world, except for the blind, wouldn't react to you. Even a girl with a normal sexual orientation would at least take a second look in a place like a school rooftop. Of course... are you perhaps playing some kind of master-slave game behind everyone's backs?"
"If so, then I'll pretend I didn't see anything."
"It's not that kind of perverted game!"
The Bunny Girl immediately retorted.
"So you know about it."
The definitive tone made a blush appear on the teased girl's face.
But she quickly regained her composure.
It's fine.
Calm down.
She would absolutely not blush from being teased by a boy younger than herself.
This was the composure of a mature adult.
After comforting herself, Sakurajima Mai began to carefully think about her experience from home to school.
Her situation of being ignored and having her presence disappear had been ongoing for a long time.
The first time she noticed this situation was at the school convenience store.
At that time, when she was queuing to check out, the cashier deliberately ignored her presence and asked the student behind her to scan and pay.
At first, Sakurajima Mai found it strange, but after repeated verification, she realized that at certain times, her presence would disappear in the eyes of others.
Initially, only a few people ignored her.
When she took the train, people in the same carriage would still secretly take out their phones to secretly photograph her, a retired artist.
As time passed, the scope and duration of being ignored grew wider and wider.
Until even her mother forgot about her existence.
Only then did Sakurajima Mai begin to feel a little panicked.
After all, no matter what happened before, after returning home and calling that woman, she would hear a familiar voice.
Although there was some annoyance in her heart, more than annoyance, there was a hint of comfort.
But from the moment even she forgot about herself, Sakurajima Mai began to want to reverse this phenomenon.
However, after trying many times for several consecutive days, she couldn't change her sense of presence.
And today was another day where she was completely ignored.
Her mindset was already on the verge of collapse, so she simply let loose a little, putting on a Bunny Girl uniform and wandering outside.
And combining what she had seen this morning, Sakurajima Mai confirmed that she was still a void in the eyes of others, and even in phone cameras.
Until now.
This boy standing on the rooftop, who had somehow confused a junior girl, saw her.
He was also the only human so far who could acknowledge her existence.
A cold wind blew.
Sakurajima Mai shivered instinctively. Indeed, wearing such a revealing outfit in this weather was still a bit cold.
"Put this on."
A fur coat appeared in Rosen's right hand.
"If others see you, they'll think I did something to you."
You were indeed trying to do something to me just now, weren't you?
She grumbled inwardly, but Sakurajima Mai still obediently took the coat from Rosen's hand and put it on.
There was no lingering warmth, nor any strange smell, just like it had just been bought from a clothing store.
But she clearly hadn't seen him holding this outfit, had she?
However, combining the current situation, Sakurajima Mai seemed to have deduced that Rosen possessed an
"abnormal" trait similar to her own.
Otherwise, there was no reason why only he could see her.
"You should be like me, right?"
Sakurajima Mai wrapped herself in the coat, covering the parts that could give away her identity, and asked in a probing tone.
"If you're talking about differentiating from ordinary people, then yes."
Rosen shrugged.
"But before we chat, shouldn't this Miss Bunny Girl introduce herself?"
"I am Sakurajima Mai. You should have heard that name."
The girl said softly.
"Indeed."
Rosen nodded.
The girl's answer confirmed his guess.
It was just that he didn't expect everything to be such a coincidence.
