What's Wrong with Adding Me to All Those Omni-Anime Geniuses?

Seeing that he didn't react, Sakurajima Mai waved her hand in front of his face.

"..."

"Hey, you're the one who called me out, right? Say something!"

"..."

There weren't many people at the entrance at noon, but there weren't few either, yet no one showed any surprise or curiosity about her attire.

Even when people turned their attention to her, it was always focused on Himemiya Chihaya.

"Is that so? It seems I misunderstood. Then I'll take my leave."

Five seconds later.

"That..."

Himemiya Chihaya forced a smile and spoke helplessly.

"What's wrong?"

Sakurajima Mai, supporting her ample breasts that seemed almost tiring, tilted her head and said nonchalantly.

Didn't you say you were leaving?

"Oh, did I say that? I thought you were deaf and couldn't hear me at all."

She brushed her hair off with her hand and leaned forward slightly, as if she were straining.

"But I should be free to choose where I want to be, right?"

"... Is that so?"

Himemiya Chihaya looked up at the sky, her gaze deep and unfathomable. "But why did you step on my foot?"

The camera pans down, revealing that Sakurajima Mai's left foot is firmly planted on his right shoe.

"I don't know, maybe I misjudged the distance between us... It's definitely not a petty act of revenge because I suspect you're pretending not to hear me."

Sakurajima Mai smiled faintly, still showing no intention of removing it.

"Really? I'm relieved to hear that—can we move it now?"

"Why? Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, but I'm not that afraid of pain."

"Such a lewd statement... does that mean you're a masochist?"

She stared at him with disdain.

"That's not entirely true... If I had to put it in a more direct way, I'd say I'm a sadist like you, but I'm just used to it."

He looked down at the instep, his eyes filled with melancholy.

"But I've been wearing white shoes these past few days, and they'll be really hard to clean if they get dirty..."

"Since that's the case, since we've already stepped on it, it doesn't matter whether we remove it or not, right?"

"That makes sense. Go ahead and continue if this makes you happy."

"..."

After staring at his profile for a few seconds, Sakurajima Mai withdrew her toes and stood calmly in place.

"I'm really surprised, you can really see me!"

"I wish this were just a hallucination, but the pain in my foot just now tells me it's not..."

Himemiya Chihaya's eyelids drooped, and the emotion in her eyes was several times more melancholy and tired than when she had been trampled.

Now that he's seen her dressed like this, there's no point in deceiving himself anymore, is there?

Although I don't know how this happened, this moment is undoubtedly reality.

Why did he react so strongly when he saw Sakurajima Mai walking around in Bunny Girl outfit?

That's because, of course, she wouldn't normally be dressed like that and walking around the streets.

The only possibility is that... others can no longer see her, so she is trying to attract their attention by appearing in this way.

Wait, does that mean that person is still in the library now? He frowned and pondered for a while.

No, he didn't seem to remember seeing him come in... Could he have been too engrossed in his book?

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hinomiya Himemiya Chihaya, which sounds very feminine, Chihaya my profession... is a con artist?"

It's impolite to keep people waiting, so he decided to set aside such trivial matters for the time being.

"My name is Sakurajima Mai, Sakurajima of Sakurajima Mai, Mai of Sakurajima Mai. Occupation... none yet, currently a student."

"Hmm~ Are you sure I know your name? How arrogant, Mai."

Don't you know?

"No, I'm sorry, I really do know."

"See, since that's the case, then it doesn't count as arrogance."

She shrugged matter-of-factly. "By the way, sir, are you a student?"

"Third grade, and you?"

"They're both third-year students, but in high school."

"What do you mean? You suspect I'm from junior high school?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out, after all, children grow up very quickly these days."

Then, she looked him in the eye again. "One last question, what is your gender?"

"Can't you see it? It's so obvious."

He spun around in a silly way.

Are you sure you want me to tell you the truth?

"I'd better not, it might hurt my Kokoro... It's both unfortunate and fortunate that I'm a man!"

"So that's how it is... Could this be what the scammer was referring to?"

Sakurajima Mai stroked her chin with a puzzled expression, glanced up, and asked, "What do you mean by 'regretful yet lucky'?"

Himemiya Chihaya crossed her arms and smiled confidently, "It's a regrettable thing for the boys; it's a lucky thing for the girls."

"You're even more arrogant than me... So what's that mask?"

"The last question you promised?"

"Then, the very last question."

"... Fine, I don't dislike people with strong personalities."

He casually removed his mask, revealing his true face.

"... I see, that's how it is. Your parents really made a good choice in choosing your name."

After seeing his good looks, Sakurajima Mai nodded slightly in agreement.

"No, their naming... well... never mind."

Thinking of his mother's taste in naming things, he chuckled inwardly and shut his mouth.

"Well, whatever you say is fine."

She shrugged, her eyes serious, and said, "Here's one last piece of advice: forget everything you saw today, and don't get involved with me."

"..."

He frowned and raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"If you understand, just say 'yes'."

Seeing that he still didn't move, Sakurajima Mai frowned as well, and turned to leave.

The instant she turned around, Himemiya Chihaya quickly spoke up, "Such contradictory dialogue, how could you even come up with that?"

Sakurajima Mai paused, turned around and glared at him, then continued to leave.

"Is this really okay? I rarely get to see you, you know?"

His voice then rose again, like a rope, pulling Sakurajima Mai back from walking towards the road.

"You already knew?"

There was no turning around; only the sound came from behind.

"After all, I'm not blind. You're dressed so sexily, and you're very pretty, yet no one's eyes linger on you—no, it's more like no one is staring at you like I am. Isn't that strange?"

Himemiya Chihaya a brief analysis, while simultaneously letting out what felt like the umpteenth helpless sigh in her heart.

Adolescence Syndrome... it actually exists...

This absurd supernatural phenomenon... Are you kidding me?!

He couldn't help but bite his nails, feeling that fate was playing tricks on him again.

What he clearly believed didn't exist, was now brazenly appearing before him...

Speaking of which, if Adolescence Syndrome exists, then what about the others... Sigh, ever since recently, whenever he thinks about this place, his heart and breathing become a little rapid.

There's no escaping it now; if you try to avoid it now, you might Kokoro get grazed and killed someday.

Tsk! I just want to live a normal life as a rich kid, why is it so hard!

If he weren't afraid of breaking his bones, he would have loved to punch the Earth right now!

Look at what you've done! What a mess!

Ha~ He pressed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Ever since he learned that this world was Mixed World, his life had been incredibly unpredictable...

Although it's not a good way to put it, he suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the peaceful, orderly life he had lived in the old mansion, despite the pain.

"..."

Sakurajima Mai's back seemed to be slightly bent before she turned around and walked back, her beautiful and delicate face revealing no emotion.

"Then do you have any ideas?"

Do you think I would have one?

"..."

After staring silently into his red eyes for several seconds, Sakurajima Mai felt like an idiot.

"Well, tell me what happened first, and maybe we'll come to some conclusions. As you can see, my intelligence is just as outstanding as my looks."

He explained to himself, and incidentally issued a disclaimer.

"But don't get your hopes up too high. After all, this is my first time dealing with something like this, and I don't have much experience."

"You're really calm."

Sakurajima Mai looked at him with some surprise. "Normally, shouldn't you feel scared and shocked at this time?"

"What good will it do to lose my composure? I don't want to be the kind of villainous clown who can only rage helplessly."

"Hehe, your analogy is quite interesting."

She chuckled softly, her expression gradually turning serious. She crossed her Hands and looked at the bushes across the street, beginning to recount her experiences and speculations:

"As you know, I started my Entertainment Industry when I was six years old."

"Since being promoted to the lead role in the Morning Drama, I've been constantly making movies and commercials... and have always been in the spotlight."

"Is that so? I see."

Himemiya Chihaya, seemingly hearing this for the first time, chimed in with a straight man's joke.

"... Don't you know?"

Sakurajima Mai glanced at her with a menacing look.

"I only knew you existed. I've lived overseas since I was a child, and I only came back recently."

Himemiya Chihaya speaks the truth.
