On a weekend morning, Mori Shinra suddenly received a system notification.
[Sakurajima Mai's 'Existence' Dilemma] (Colorful) (Limited Time)
Request Status: Completed
Request Rewards (Distributed): One Leaf Blocks the Eye (Ability), A Maiden's Heart, Wish Power Points x9
It actually gave 9 Wish Power Points at once?
Mori Shinra hadn't expected the system to be so generous this time. After already rewarding an ability, it also gave him 9 Wish Power Points, which was almost equivalent to getting another ability.
Giving so much, isn't it afraid of power creep?
The thought had just popped into Mori Shinra's head when he immediately came to his senses. What's there to fear about power creep in a single-player game!
Power creep is great! There should be power creep!
With an excited heart and trembling hands, after confirming the Wish Power Points had arrived, Mori Shinra didn't rush to make a wish or try out his new ability. Instead, he took out his phone and sent a message to Mai on LINE.
Mori Shinra: How's the situation?
The message was just sent when a reply came back immediately.
Sakurajima Mai: It seems to be fine now. Whether at school or on the street, I can feel that everyone is noticing me.
Mori Shinra: See? I told you it would work.
Back when Mori Shinra proposed using money to help Sakurajima Mai solve her problem, she was a bit against it, saying he was being too reckless. What if it didn't work? Wouldn't all that money go down the drain?
But based on the current results, he had won the bet. As a bonus, it also created a wave of momentum for Sakurajima Mai's comeback. The media in Chiba City had already taken notice of the situation, and there were reports speculating whether this meant Sakurajima Mai was about to return to the entertainment world.
Sakurajima Mai: Yeah, it's all thanks to you this time. Is there any reward you want?
Mori Shinra: You
On the other end of the phone, Sakurajima Mai saw Mori Shinra's blunt request, and a faint blush crept onto her pretty face. She bit her glistening lip, unsure how to respond.
Although she had already set her heart on Mori Shinra, saying it out loud herself was just too much to ask.
Just as Sakurajima Mai was struggling with how to respond to Mori Shinra's words, a new message appeared on the chat screen.
Mori Shinra: r bunny girl uniform. Is it still around?
Who taught you to break up sentences like that?
Sakurajima Mai knew this guy Mori Shinra was definitely doing it on purpose, but she couldn't just call him out. So, she typed back in a huff.
Sakurajima Mai: It's not!
Mori Shinra: No problem, I have one at my place.
Sakurajima Mai: ?
How do you have something like that at your place?
Mori Shinra: Saw it on a shopping site a while back, thought it looked good so I bought it. It's pretty similar to the one you wore, just with a little less fabric.
A little less fabric? Sakurajima Mai glanced at the bunny girl uniform by her feet. This outfit was already quite bold. If it had even less fabric... wouldn't that just be pure lingerie?!
Sakurajima Mai: Just kidding. My outfit is at home. When you come over, I'll wear it for you.
Sakurajima Mai wasn't displeased with the idea of Mori Shinra wanting her to wear the bunny girl uniform. In fact, she was happy to see it happen. At least it showed that she was still very attractive to him.
Mori Shinra: No sincerity! Woman, you haven't even told me your address yet!
Sakurajima Mai: address.map
Sakurajima Mai: Satisfied now?
Mori Shinra: riding_horse_over.jpg
Sakurajima Mai: I have to go to that person's house in the next couple of days. I'll give you a key to my place when we meet after that.
Mori Shinra: It's fine if you don't. Forgetting your key and spending the night at my place works just as well.
Sakurajima Mai: So, can I spend the night at your place even if I don't forget my key?
Hoho, not only does she not surrender, but she launches an attack on me instead?
Mori Shinra quickly formulated a response and typed back: Of course you can. My place is pretty big, and the pajamas I bought before are still in the guest room.
Sakurajima Mai: You didn't secretly use them for anything weird, did you?
Mori Shinra: I did (matter-of-factly.jpg)
Just as Sakurajima Mai was about to say something else, a call suddenly popped up on her screen. The contact name was listed as 'That Person'.
The smile on Mai's face faded slightly. She didn't answer the call directly, but instead her fingers flew across the screen.
Sakurajima Mai: Something's come up on my end. Talk later.
Only after sending the message did Mai answer the call.
"Hello."
...
Back to Mori Shinra's side. After finishing his chat with Mai, just as Mori Shinra was about to close LINE, light some incense, and prepare to make a wish, he received another message.
When Will Sis Return: Group Invitation.link
When Will Sis Return: That other group has gone weird, so I made a new fan group. You should join.
Mori Shinra remembered this ID. It was the admin of Mai's previous fan group. Later, because it was revealed that she had leaked information about Mai to him, Mai kicked both of them out of the group chat right then and there.
Damn power-tripping admin.
Afterward, because there was no more value to be extracted from her, Mori Shinra had basically forgotten about this person. He never expected her to suddenly message him. It looked like she had created a new fan group.
Establishing her own sect, so to speak.
Perhaps because Mori Shinra was kicked out along with her, this former admin seemed to think he was implicated because of her, so she sent him an invitation as soon as she created the new group.
Of course, that was only part of the reason. The bigger reason was that she felt very comfortable chatting with Mori Shinra and didn't want to lose contact just because they were kicked out of Mai's support group.
Suddenly a Bridge Blocker Appears (Mori Shinra): Is this fan group of yours legit?
When Will Sis Return: Of course. I suspect the owner of the previous support group has betrayed the organization. Otherwise, there's no reason to kick me out of the group for no reason!
Suddenly a Bridge Blocker Appears (Mori Shinra): Something like that actually happened?
If Mori Shinra remembered correctly, the owner of that support group was actually Sakurajima Mai's alternate account.
Why doth the Emperor rebel?
When Will Sis Return: Anyway, join the group first. I'll reveal some important information later.
Suddenly a Bridge Blocker Appears (Mori Shinra): What important information? Can't you just tell me directly, given our relationship?
On the other end of the phone, the blonde beauty thought for a moment and felt that Mori Shinra had a point.
When Will Sis Return: Mai-san is most likely making a comeback!
Suddenly a Bridge Blocker Appears (Mori Shinra): Tell me something I don't know. Hasn't the media already been reporting on this?
When Will Sis Return: Those media reports are just grasping at straws. According to my intel, Mai-san met with her former agent today.
Seeing this message, Mori Shinra couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Mai meeting with her mother today was something only a few people knew. Where did this person get their information?
This 'When Will Sis Return' person really has some skills, huh?
No, I have to find a way to dox her.
