The administrator auntie reminded him to watch the time, then left Kanzaki Saku alone in the library to investigate as he pleased.
Kanzaki Saku grabbed a random novel and found a corner seat to sit down. This spot offered a wide field of view, allowing him to see most of the library without attracting attention—an excellent observation point.
He opened the book, pretending to read, but his attention was entirely focused on observing his surroundings.
Ten minutes passed, everything was normal.
Twenty minutes, still normal.
Just when Kanzaki Saku started to think that today would probably be uneventful, he caught a glimpse of a strange figure out of the corner of his eye.
Someone walked in at the library entrance.
She wasn't wearing a school uniform, but a long black coat with the collar turned up high, almost covering half her face. On her head, she wore a pair of... bunny ears?
Her lower body featured long, slender legs wrapped in black silk stockings, stepping in high heels. This attire looked exceptionally conspicuous in the quiet library.
But what was even stranger was that the surrounding students seemed completely unaware of this person. They kept their heads down reading, no one even glancing in that direction.
Kanzaki Saku narrowed his eyes.
This must be lowered presence, the same type of Stand ability as Megumi Kato before the [Reversal]. It seems she is that woman who set the library as her spawn point.
He stared at the figure, noticing that she was also looking around. When her gaze swept over Kanzaki Saku's position, it paused for a moment.
Then, that person walked straight toward him.
As the distance closed, Kanzaki Saku saw the other party's face clearly.
It was an excessively exquisite face, with three-dimensional features and fair skin. A few strands of long black hair were revealed from the collar of the coat.
Bunny ears plus this face—there was no mistake. [True Name Revelation]: It's you, Ant-senpai!
AKA Sakurajima Mai!
Kanzaki Saku's mind quickly flashed through her pre-[Reversal] settings. The original Sakurajima Mai was a national-level actress, but due to conflicts with her mother, she triggered Puberty Syndrome and was gradually forgotten by people.
When it flared up, she tried every method to make people see her again, even going so far as to wear a bunny girl outfit in the library.
So what about after the [Reversal]? What is Sakurajima Mai's character setting now?
Watching Sakurajima Mai get closer and closer, Kanzaki Saku immediately experienced profoundly where her [Reversal] point lay.
Mai stopped in front of Kanzaki Saku. First, she reached out and waved her hand between his eyes and the book.
Since Kanzaki Saku could clearly see but was pretending not to, he naturally didn't react to the waving. He maintained his posture of looking down at the book, not even lifting an eyelid.
Mai seemed to confirm that Kanzaki Saku really couldn't see her. The corners of her mouth split into a wide grin, and she began to untie the sash of her coat.
Kanzaki Saku watched from his peripheral vision, muttering in his heart, What is she trying to do?
The sash was untied, and the black coat fell open to both sides.
Kanzaki Saku's gaze lifted from the book as he turned the page, and he saw the contents inside the coat.
Then he froze. So the [Reversal] part was waiting for me right here?
A Reverse Bunny Girl outfit!
The so-called Reverse Bunny Girl, as the name implies, is not a normal bunny girl outfit. Everyone should be very familiar with normal bunny girls—Mai-senpai's classic loadout.
The Reverse Bunny Girl is essentially Mai-senpai's alternate art; it is reversed. The main fabric is concentrated on the limbs, while the torso has almost no fabric.
I can't say much more than that. I can only say that those who get it, get it; those who don't can close Hedgehog Cat and go enrich their knowledge.
Sakurajima Mai was currently wearing exactly such an outfit, standing in the library, openly opening her coat in front of Kanzaki Saku, flashing it for him to see.
It was just like those perverted exhibitionists in coats who suddenly jump out of the bushes on the road at midnight.
Kanzaki Saku spent three seconds digesting the scene before him, then continued to focus his line of sight on the book in his hands, maintaining his persona of 'Classmate Kanzaki who can't see anything'.
So the [Reversal] point changed from 'a bunny girl who wants to be seen' to 'an exhibitionist who enjoys performing some kind of performance art while invisible to everyone'?
That really is quite a [Reversal].
Kanzaki Saku continued to maintain his reading posture, but certain parts of his body were gradually starting to fail at keeping up the act.
Meanwhile, Mai-senpai beside him didn't seem satisfied with simply opening her coat. Keeping the coat open, she leaned forward another step, almost pressing against Kanzaki Saku.
Then she bent down, allowing the design of the Reverse Bunny Girl outfit to be presented more intuitively within Kanzaki Saku's field of vision.
Kanzaki Saku could smell the scent coming from Mai-senpai, as well as a more subtle, barely there peach-colored aura that belonged to a 'pervert'.
Sakurajima Mai tilted her head and leaned in, her head adorned with black bunny ear accessories slanting slightly as she observed Kanzaki Saku's face at close range.
Kanzaki Saku could feel her gaze sweeping over his eyes, nose bridge, and lips.
He maintained a focused expression of reading, knitting his brows slightly, as if troubled by some event in the book.
In reality, he was thinking about whether to actively expose that he was aware of her presence, or continue pretending to see what else Mai-senpai could come up with.
The foolish grin on Mai-senpai's lips deepened. She suddenly extended her hand, reaching toward Kanzaki Saku's body.
Then she stopped about one centimeter away from his skin, hovering. She was testing the waters, or rather, enjoying the feeling of 'I'm right in front of you, but you don't know it.'
Kanzaki Saku's muscles tensed slightly, but he still didn't move.
He didn't move, so Mai-senpai moved again.
This time, she sat directly next to Kanzaki Saku, her entire body pressing up against him.
Then she grabbed Kanzaki Saku's hand. Her fingertips, painted with dark nail polish, landed gently on Kanzaki Saku's palm, and then began to draw small circles extremely slowly, carrying a certain suggestive implication.
One circle, two circles.
The surrounding air seemed to become viscous due to Mai-senpai's bold actions.
The library remained quiet. The administrator auntie was organizing bookshelves in the distance, and several students were buried in their studies, no one knowing what kind of bizarre drama was playing out in this corner.
Kanzaki Saku thought: This book sure is book-like. Such white pages, and the font is quite large too.
Wait, no! Now is not the time to be addicted to reading!
What to do? Continue pretending? Looking at Mai-senpai's posture, she's probably going to go further and further. Should I burst her bubble directly? But then all my pretending would be wasted, and after exposing her, how would this [Reversal] version of Mai-senpai react?
Run away? Or get even more excited?
Kanzaki Saku caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that Mai-senpai's other hand seemed to be lifting up as well; the target might be his face, or his body.
No, I must break the deadlock.
Kanzaki Saku abruptly slammed the book shut.
The soft 'snap' startled Mai-senpai, who was currently fondling Kanzaki Saku's small hand, and she immediately looked at Kanzaki Saku in confusion.
