Mai Sakurajima and Adolescent Syndrome

However, minerals require additional Mana projection, while herbs and the like cannot be used.

There's no problem using the projected images directly, but you can't put them in your mouth.

Relying on his status as a wife, he quickly changed his ways and became arrogant and greedy.

Hopefully, with the help of the medicinal bath, Shiina Mahiru will quickly master the method of making glowing dishes, so that she won't need to add extra special effects when filming videos in the future.

Miyauchi Hiyage, having spent an afternoon "raiding" the Jujutsu High clean, went home satisfied.

He encountered Shinomiya Kaguya on his way out of the school gate. She had spent the afternoon practicing taijutsu and was on her way home. Only then did he remember that he had accepted a small commission to go on a business trip to Fujisawa at public expense.

So while he was hitching a ride, he casually asked Shinomiya Kaguya about her plans for tomorrow and also sent a message to Yotsuya Miko.

After all, Yotsuya Miko had been calling his name ever since she received the request, which sounded rather pitiful, so I decided to help her complete the low-income assistance for that request.

Anyway, he was going to take his family, who lived in his villa, to take advantage of the Jujutsu High, so one or two more people wouldn't make a difference.

We can't keep asking questions and then complaining. We can't just keep asking questions and then complaining.

Yotsuya Miko replied exceptionally quickly, immediately agreeing to the plan to take advantage of the Jujutsu High skill together tomorrow, and she seemed particularly happy and excited.

Not only were they able to complete the mission, but the other party had also been working hard at the Jujutsu High these past few days. Coming out to complete the mission and being able to relax for a day to see the sea was indeed quite comfortable.

Shinomiya Kaguya, on the other hand, simply waved her hand.

She has too many things to do, so taking one day a week to cultivate herself and then reducing her time for leisure and relaxation is not a big problem.

But last night and today have already taken up all her time, so she won't be able to find another day to have fun this week.

"Once things settle down at Shuchiin on the Shuchiin Academy, I'll be able to free up some time. Don't forget about me if you get another request like this then."

Seeing Shinomiya Kaguya's exhausted appearance, Miyauchi Hiyage didn't say anything more. He simply used Ripple to soothe her spirits and then told her to go back and rest.

After returning home, Miyauchi Hiyage explained the situation to the group who were enthusiastically filming a food video.

No one, including Tohru, had any objections.

Miyauchi Kouka Kato Megumi had the idea to invite Kato Megumi, who happened to be at home with nothing to do on the weekend.

Thus, the famous scene of six girls and Miyauchi Hiyage traveling together came about.

Miyauchi Hiyage pondered for a few seconds whether he should call over Itou Kaiji and Sakakibara Kouichi to do his dirty work.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it.

Let them rest at home this weekend. Guanghua can do any chores that need to be done.

In short, when a group of people gathered at the station early the next morning, the scene was indeed quite beautiful.

Five beautiful girls, one tomboy, and one handsome boy appeared together.

More intriguing than the only boy is how that tomboy managed to infiltrate the group.

Of course, Yotsuya Miko felt that she was the outsider.

Because apart from Shiina Mashiro and Miyauchi Hiyage, she didn't know any of the other girls; at most, she had only heard of them in her diary.

Dragon Girl Tohru, Neighborhood Angel Shiina Mahiru, Saekano: Kato Megumi, and Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend Miyauchi Hiyage's twin sister.

It's not that Miyauchi Kouka has no presence, but compared to the three leading ladies, she, as a supporting actress, is indeed not as eye-catching.

Her most outstanding qualities are becoming friends with Kato Megumi, becoming neighbors with Shiina Mahiru, and being the older sister of Miyauchi Hiyage.

In short, aside from finding some familiarity with Miyauchi Kouka, Yotsuya Miko felt somewhat overwhelmed by the remaining girls.

They didn't even know how to introduce themselves.

It was Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage who fabricated the background of Yotsuya Miko.

"This Yotsuya Miko is one of the main sponsors of our trip. She is interested in some unusual paranormal phenomena that have recently appeared in Fujisawa, so she contacted me through Shinomiya Kaguya, wanting me to help her find the truth behind those paranormal phenomena."

"Originally, I was thinking of paying for you all to go to Fujisawa for a day, but Ms. Yotsuya generously offered that I could bring more friends to help out, and she would also cover everyone's normal expenses during this time. So, while you can have fun, you'll have to do some work first."

Chapter 250: Mai Sakurajima's Puberty Syndrome

When it comes to Kanagawa Prefecture, Miyauchi Hiyage's first impression of the place is indeed the hugely influential Slam Dunk.

In this chaotic world, Hanamichi Sakuragi also entered Shohoku High this year and joined the basketball club according to the storyline.

In fact, the story here has just passed the classic "Coach, I want to play basketball" stage, and is about to enter the county-level preliminary round of this year's national competition.

Furthermore, Shohoku High is indeed located in Fujisawa, where they came today, while Ryonan High is in Kamakura City, which is next to it, and there is also that classic tram intersection that appeared in the opening sequence.

Of course, besides these, there are also many familiar faces in Kanagawa.

Bocchi-chan's family lives in Yokohama, Kanagawa. She chose to Shimokitazawa, which requires a two-hour train ride every day, in order to avoid acquaintances.

The main activity area for the Thorn Band, which also recently held its first live performance and currently only has three members and is still several months away from being officially formed, is Kawasaki in Kanagawa Prefecture.

As for why Miyauchi Hiyage knew these things so clearly?

That's because he had already secretly come over to investigate.

During breaks from filming, Miyauchi Hiyage would often wander around under the guise of gathering material.

Back in April, he was already using his disguise skills to wander around various schools and locations with a high incidence of incidents in Tokyo.

After gaining teleportation abilities Golden Week, his range of activity expanded from areas within an hour's reach of downtown Tokyo to 40-50 kilometers.

The distance from Tokyo to Fujisawa and Kamakura is only about 40 kilometers. Once they find their way and use Yellow Temperance's stealth ability, Miyauchi Hiyage can get here to visit in half a minute.

It's easy to go back; if you want to explore more, just wait for your Mana to recover in a little over an hour.

If you want to get back sooner, just find a quiet place where no one is looking, open the Otherworld App, teleport back to the Impression Space with one click, and then drive back to Shibuya Station with the entire map open— Miyauchi Hiyage has already tested this; the Tokyo Impression Space is divided according to metropolitan areas.

Whether it's Saitama, where Miyauchi Hiyage is located, or Kanagawa Prefecture, both are geographically within the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the Impression Space within this area is that intricate subway network.

Moreover, random teleportation only teleports people to the surface of the Impression Space. Basically, it only takes half an hour to get back to Shibuya, and then another teleportation will take you home.

With this mobility, combined with the Eyes of Destiny ability, Miyauchi Hiyage is better able to spot the recent movements of familiar characters in crowds.

This allowed Miyauchi Hiyage to always appear at the right time and place, acting as an unnoticed camera to closely observe those familiar storylines, and then casually adjust the timing of these events to write them down in her diary.

As Slam Dunk was a part of his childhood, Miyauchi Hiyage naturally kept a certain level of attention to it.

However, since there were no matches today and it was the weekend, Miyauchi Hiyage naturally had no intention of going to Shohoku to join in the fun.

Let's finish the quest for the Jujutsu High first.

Before she began practicing Cursed Energy, Yotsuya Miko could only see Vengeful Spirit and incantation spirits; she could not sense any other extraordinary powers such as Cursed Energy or Spiritual Power.

However, Yotsuya Miko is already considered a level 4 Sorcerers, but she has never completed a commission and has no connections in the Jujutsu Society except for the wealthy Shinomiya Kaguya, so the higher-ups in the sorcery Yotsuya Miko level.

Miyauchi Hiyage did not actually receive official certification from the higher echelons of sorcery; he only gained recognition for his Jujutsu High. Once he had taken on a few low-level commissions and become familiar with their patterns, he would be able to take on higher-level commissions.

The main point is that Miyauchi Hiyage doesn't follow the path of Sorcerers. If he really wants a certification, he can go to Chichibu City and demonstrate his swordsmanship. I believe the shrine maidens at Chichibu Shrine would be happy to issue him a Level 1 Superhuman certificate.

In short, Yotsuya Miko, who has officially become Sorcerers, has already shown her talent in perception with those eyes. The fact that she can clearly see the sword aura effects after the Breathing Swordsmanship is performed speaks volumes.

Although she couldn't see very far, within her field of vision, she could clearly see those extraordinary beings and the traces they left behind.

To some extent, even if Miyauchi Hiyage had the Eyes of Destiny, he might not have been able to see things so clearly.

After contacting the level 3 Sorcerers active around Fujisawa, Miyauchi Hiyage quickly learned of the situation.

Since the beginning of this year, some unusual Spiritual Power fluctuations have been observed in Fujisawa.

Previously, it had always been at a very weak level, probably not even reaching the level of a level four Vengeful Spirit, so the Sorcerers didn't pay much attention to it.

But after May, the Spiritual Power fluctuations became much stronger.

However, this level-three Sorcerers only detected the problem using instruments. His own spiritual vision was not strong. After investigating for several days without finding anything, he reported the matter to the Jujutsu High as a precaution.

He hoped that someone with Jujutsu High abilities, strong perception, or even stronger spiritual vision would come and personally confirm the situation regarding the Spiritual Power fluctuations here.

It's a very ordinary reconnaissance mission; there's no need to engage the target that's causing the Spiritual Power fluctuations.

Moreover, based on this Sorcerers's experience, it's possible that someone on Fujisawa's side is about to awaken to transcendence.

If that's the case, and if he can introduce the person who has completed the transcendent awakening to the Jujutsu High before they are intercepted by other transcendent forces, he can also receive a generous reward.

The reason this commission is so well-paid is probably because it might affect the enrollment of students at the Jujutsu High.

However, it seems he didn't have high expectations.

"Even if signs of extraordinary awakening appear, these signs do not necessarily guarantee the completion of the awakening. Of those who show signs, only about one-third will eventually be able to truly awaken successfully."

The reasons for this are quite complicated.

Either their mental strength or physical condition is insufficient.

Either the berserk state is triggered by some event, but because the body and mind are not fully prepared, the premature awakening fails, resulting in the berserk state of abilities.

It's also possible that in the midst of panic, negative thoughts arise within, and the self is unwilling to accept the fact that it is a freak. Extraordinary power is inherently a very subjective thing, and if one's own heart is unwilling to accept it, this power can easily gradually fade away in this mindset.

Some even became entangled with Vengeful Spirit during the awakening process, ultimately dying before they could even begin their journey.

There's no harm in talking about the topic of transcendent awakening all day long, so after Miyauchi Hiyage had a better understanding of the situation and the range of Spiritual Power fluctuations, he took a group of girls to wander around the area.

Of course, Miyauchi Hiyage wouldn't actually let these girls do anything troublesome; what he said before was just to find a suitable identity for Yotsuya Miko.

Both Shiina Mahiru and Miyauchi Kouka had vaguely learned some of the truths of the world because of the Ripple Chi Kung, and they also knew from Miyauchi Hiyage's attitude that the real purpose of this trip was actually to relax and rest.

So they didn't dwell on it too much. After greeting Yotsuya Miko, they started planning their route for the day.

As for Shiina Mashiro and Tohru, the two who know the whole truth, one delegates all the mental tasks to Miyauchi Hiyage, while the other has absolutely no interest in such things.

On the contrary, Kato Megumi, who knew nothing, genuinely felt that since she had been invited out to play, she should at least do some things to help out. Therefore, after arriving at the destination, she continued to inquire about the surrounding supernatural rumors, following Yotsuya Miko's instructions.

Seeing that Kato Megumi was indeed quite interested in these matters, Miyauchi Hiyage didn't say anything more.

In fact, after listening to the Sorcerers's detailed explanation of the request, Miyauchi Hiyage already had a general idea in mind.

For Miyauchi Hiyage Hidekage, the most famous place in Fujisawa is Shohoku High.

However, besides Shohoku High, there is another Minegahara High School that is quite famous.

Because in that high school, there was a famous celebrity Mai Sakurajima, who debuted as a child star.

It can only be said that Mai Sakurajima's character setting in the story is indeed quite exaggerated. She is a super senior figure that most protagonists in Idol anime would have to look up to.

She entered the entertainment industry as a child star at the age of six, and her first work became an instant hit, creating a record-breaking viewership rating. She continued to star in various film and television works afterward, maintaining this popularity.

Ten years after her debut, at 16 years old, she is still undoubtedly a top-tier artist in her age group.

It can be said that Mai Sakurajima in this world is the national daughter known to more than 70% of the Japanese people. Even Miyauchi Hiyage in this life grew up watching Mai Sakurajima's works.

When Miyauchi Kouka was a child, her Idol when she first started school was to become a big star like Mai Sakurajima, and she would often clumsily imitate Mai Sakurajima's behavior and actions on TV.

Several years later, Miyauchi Kouka's personality became increasingly unconventional, and she gradually forgot about this dark history.

According to the timeline of the story, Mai Sakurajima should now be unable to adapt to high school life and is also unwilling to be used as a money-making machine by her mother. She is feeling lost and confused because she "want to go to a world where no one knows her" and has triggered Puberty Syndrome, causing everyone to forget her existence.

This is the ultimate version of Kato Megumi.

Miyauchi Hiyage recalled this scene.

The few days when the other person dressed up as a bunny girl must have been during the Golden Week holiday. He was with Honma Meiko that day, so it was impossible for him to come over just because of a bunny girl outfit.

In other words, the female protagonist should have already met the male protagonist, and is currently at a point in time where she is forgotten by everyone, and only the male protagonist can notice her.

This trope of being forgotten by everyone but seen only by you might be a bit cliché, but it's definitely a killer move for a girl going through a sensitive period.

"The timing matches up, and it's normal for this ability to cause fluctuations in Spiritual Power, but what's more concerning is that Puberty Syndrome ..." Miyauchi Hiyage stroked his chin.

I don't know when this term was first mentioned in the original work, but it seems to be the kind that wasn't publicly used, but rather a conventional term used within a small circle to refer to certain special phenomena.

Moreover, the symptoms are very diverse, and there are even several patients whose symptoms are related to time.

However, in this mixed world, this thing is given the name "transcendental awakening" and has a different interpretation in the Jujutsu High.

In short, teenagers are energetic, prone to daydreaming, and most importantly, their values are not yet fully formed.

Extraordinary awakenings are indeed more likely to occur in people aged 12-20, which is why the Jujutsu High is called a High School, not a University of Spellcasting.

In other words, according to the explanation from the Jujutsu High, Mai Sakurajima has awakened an ability that allows everyone to forget and ignore her.

This ability can even interfere with reality. Even if Mai Sakurajima's information was recorded in writing beforehand, this ability can erase Mai Sakurajima's name from the record and make people subconsciously ignore those anomalies.

"The only problem is that after confessing her love on the playground broke this ability and made everyone remember Mai Sakurajima again, it seemed like Mai Sakurajima really lost this ability completely. Other people in the story who suffered from Puberty Syndrome also lost those powers in the end. Did they fail to awaken their abilities after they went berserk...?"

"No... it seems that some people have continued to use this power after reaching adulthood, so it's not necessarily a failure to awaken. It's also possible that they no longer need to use these abilities and have therefore hidden them away?"

Miyauchi Hiyage was analyzing the situation of Puberty Syndrome in her mind, and planned to first observe Mai Sakurajima's current condition.

Fujisawa is not large, and with the help of Miyauchi Hiyage's full-map search, he quickly found his target.
