World Aid Guide

Chen Lin repeatedly confirmed with Shi Yu that she wasn't joking. After confirming that Shi Yu wasn't joking, Chen Lin directly dialed Eriri's phone. She, like Shi Yu, had also forgotten about Kato Megumi's existence.

Unconvinced, Chen Lin dialed Mashiro's number. After receiving the same answer from both Mashiro and Nanami, ruling out the possibility that they had conspired to play a prank together, Chen Lin reluctantly put down his phone.

have to......

Looks like I won't be able to sleep.

Fortunately, Chen Lin's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people by adding extra points to his training; otherwise, Chen Lin felt that he would have died young like the father in this world due to overwork.

After leaving the instruction room, Chen Lin arrived outside Kato Megumi's classroom.

But... wasn't she sitting perfectly fine in the classroom?

Chen Lin spotted Kato Megumi sitting on the edge of her bed, taking out her textbook and preparing for class.

No... Could it be that they've teamed up to tease me?

Chen Lin walked up to a classmate in the hallway and asked, "Excuse me, could you please call Kato Megumi out for a moment?"

"Kato Megumi? I don't think there's anyone like her in the class."

Given the precedent of Aki Tomoya and even many others in the class not recognizing Kato Megumi after being in the same class for two years, Chen Lin pointed in the direction of Kato Megumi at the door, and even specified which row and column it was.

But the next second, the student showed a look of horror.

"Huh? Don't scare me, isn't that seat empty?"

"Haha, scared you, huh? Sorry, sorry, just kidding."

Chen Lin smiled and smoothed things over, thus getting away with it.

Chen Lin now roughly understands what happened, but he is not in a hurry. This is not the first time Chen Lin has encountered a similar situation.

Puberty syndrome, probably the same one that Mai Sakurajima has.

But... what's with Kato Megumi still attending class so diligently when such a huge thing happened?!

Previously, Mai had never encountered paranormal events and didn't know that as a school advisor, she could solve them, so it was understandable that she would dress up as a bunny girl and wander around the library alone.

But Kato Megumi... I already told her everything last night, and she knows I have magic.

She should have come to me immediately if she encountered a paranormal event, but she was in class instead?

Even though Kato Megumi is like that and doesn't easily express her emotions, this is still a bit too calm!

Chen Lin wanted to see when she planned to come looking for him!

……

However... Kato Megumi didn't go to see Chen Lin until after school in the afternoon.

Chen Lin had Ellio cast an optical invisibility spell on him, forcing him to follow Kato Megumi around for a whole day. Throughout the day, Kato Megumi sat in her seat and attended class as if nothing had happened.

During lunch break and between classes, I would take out my phone and look at fashion magazines in my seat with my head down. When it was time for class, I would put my phone away and listen to the lecture attentively.

Chen Lin was somewhat convinced... He had never met anyone who remained so calm after experiencing a supernatural event.

After school, Kato Megumi, a member of the homecoming club, packed her bag to go home, and Chen Lin followed her... Chen Lin wanted to see how long she could remain calm.

After school, Kato Megumi walked into the convenience store like an ordinary high school girl, took an ice cream from the freezer, and without noticing that the clerk couldn't see her, she scanned the code, paid, and left the store.

Then, while eating ice cream and staring at her phone, she calmly walked home, completely oblivious to the supernatural events that were happening to her.

When he got home, he said, "I'm home," and went back to his room.

Chen Lin followed Kato Megumi all the way to her room before dispelling the invisibility spell on his body.

"Ah." Kato Megumi exclaimed softly upon seeing Chen Lin appear in the room, "Welcome."

"What the hell is 'welcome'?" After holding back all day, Chen Lin finally couldn't take it anymore. "When a man suddenly appears in your room, is your first reaction 'welcome'? Instead of yelling 'pervert' and kicking him out?"

"Hey...do you want me to call you a pervert?"

Chen Lin hesitated for a long time before finally speaking weakly and helplessly.

"I don't want that, but at least your reaction was a bit stronger."

"A stronger reaction?" Kato Megumi frowned slightly, looking troubled. "We were completely honest with each other yesterday, I even helped you up and gave you a massage..."

"Hesitatingly..." Chen Lin didn't want to dwell on these things anymore. "How come you're still so calm in class after such a huge supernatural event happened to you? Didn't you know to come to me for help?"

Upon hearing Chen Lin's words, Kato Megumi's reaction intensified, her eyes widening in surprise.

"A paranormal event? Me? Eh?!???"

"I..." Chen Lin was speechless for a moment. Now Chen Lin finally understood why she was so calm. "Didn't you notice that everyone except me can't see you or even forgets that you exist?"

"No..." Kato Megumi scratched her cheek awkwardly, "Because it's usually like this... After all, even when things are normal, about half the class doesn't remember my name."

"......"

Is she really worthy of being called a background character? She was ignored and forgotten by everyone without anyone even noticing her.

Chen Lin felt very tired.

I should have just taken a nap in the instruction room!

"Alright, alright, let me explain the situation to you first."

Chen Lin roughly told Kato Megumi what had happened.

"In short, you now have a 'disease' called 'puberty syndrome,' and everyone except me has forgotten about you."

"Eh... I see." After hearing Chen Lin's explanation, Kato Megumi didn't show too much panic and just nodded. "Then why do you still remember me? Is it because you can use magic?"

"Hmm...probably not."

Besides Utaha, Eriri, Nanami, and Mashiro, Chen Lin also asked about the others. Alice and Erio, who also came from another world and could use magic, had both forgotten about Kato Megumi.

Chen Lin felt that the reason he still remembered her was because of the aid mission in the aid guide in his mind.

He only remembered her because of the aid mission, but Chen Lin couldn't say it outright.

Considering Kato Megumi's desire to transform into an aid mission, Chen Lin thought it over carefully before looking into Kato Megumi's eyes and smiling as he spoke.

"Perhaps in other people's eyes you are just a passerby, but in my eyes, even if you are a passerby, you are the female lead in the passerby story."

Chapter 275 Hui: I'm sorry, you're a good person.

"Huh? Huh? Huh???"

Kato Megumi rarely showed such a flustered expression... She hadn't even shown such a flustered expression when she was accidentally splashed with water yesterday.

After hesitating for a while, Kato Megumi finally spoke.

"Um... I'm sorry, you're a good person!"

"...Although I am indeed a good person, I am still a little hurt by what you said."

Is she taking this as a confession?

To be fair, it does sound like a confession.

However, Chen Lin was simply helping Kato Megumi based on his previous experience of helping Sakurajima Mai with puberty syndrome. Back then, Chen Lin told Mai that even if the whole world forgets you, I will always remember you.

However, Kato Megumi now... although her current situation is similar to Mai's back then, Chen Lin estimates that the causes are completely different.

Mai, who debuted as a child star, developed puberty syndrome because she didn't want to be in the spotlight. However, Megumi Kato herself was already less noticed and had a much lower profile than the average person. She didn't even realize that others couldn't see her or had forgotten her.

And... she wanted to transform just yesterday, and today she's already experiencing puberty syndrome.

It can't be that much of a coincidence.

The task is triggered by a change in mindset, and so is adolescent syndrome.

Has anything unusual happened to you lately?

"Something special? The most special thing was last night's research party."

That was indeed quite special, Chen Lin recalled Kato Megumi's performance last night.

Even though this was her first time being completely open with someone, she remained very calm. Unlike Eriri and Utaha, she didn't shyly hide her body and instead generously displayed it. Moreover, she didn't hesitate to ask for a massage and even deliberately made Utaha and Eriri into rice cakes.

Upon closer reflection, she was already acting strangely last night.

However... despite wanting to be noticed, they were forgotten.

"Is there any way to solve this?" Kato Megumi frowned slightly, looking troubled. "If I were completely forgotten, even I would be troubled."

“I’ve dealt with similar things before, anyway, cough cough…” Chen Lin cleared his throat, “Tomorrow I’ll put on the bunny girl outfit and then go for a stroll in the school library.”

".......?" Kato Megumi blinked, her cute cheeks puffing out slightly. "Even I would get angry if I were harassed like that."

Why would someone get angry over verbal harassment when they've attended a party together?

"This is a necessary procedure. The last girl who was forgotten like you did it this way. If there's a chance, I'll introduce her to you."

Wearing a bunny girl outfit to the library is already a method in the surface world; if it were in the underworld... tsk tsk tsk, I guess My Little Pony would get crushed.

"That's it, okay."

Kato Megumi nodded and easily accepted the premise that she would have to wear a bunny girl outfit to the library after being forgotten.

"Kato, you should come back with me tonight. It wouldn't be good if something happened to you if you went alone."

Although forgotten and ignored, Megumi Kato truly existed.
