Monimoka Cafe.
Looking at the smiling young man before her, Mai Sakurajima felt somewhat dazed. By all rights, with her personality, there was no way she should have accepted an invitation from someone she had just met and followed him into a cafe. Even if he came from a top conglomerate family, even if her current situation was terrible, her first choice should have been to face it alone...
Not to mention that this guy's first reaction upon seeing her in a bunny girl outfit had been to put on a righteous facade while staring fixedly at her breasts like some lecher!
Yet she herself could not understand why she had instinctively chosen to trust him...
In truth, it would have been strange if Mai Sakurajima could figure it out! When Sogo Doma discovered that supernatural phenomena had appeared in the ordinary world, Mai Sakurajima, as the carrier of one such phenomenon, had already caught Sogo Doma's attention as an experimental subject!
The reason Mai Sakurajima had instinctively chosen to trust Sogo Doma was also the result of his deliberate design.
First, Sogo Doma had made use of the suspension bridge effect in psychology. Mai Sakurajima's unobservable state was itself a dangerous suspension bridge, while Sogo Doma, who could observe her, was a fellow traveler crossing it with her...
Second, professionalism. If an ordinary person had observed Mai Sakurajima's current condition, they would probably have been utterly bewildered and, at most, offered whatever help they could. Sogo Doma was different. The moment he opened his mouth, he spoke of dimensions; whenever he avoided one topic, he brought up space. Coupled with the aura of a top conglomerate heir that naturally surrounded him...
Humans had an instinct to admire the strong. Mai Sakurajima might have been highly gifted in acting, but
