Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

Lin Qianshu gestured a range with his hand, then slowly narrowed it down.

"That means the area you can be observed by is constantly shrinking over time. Before, the station was your safe zone, but now the outermost part of the station has fallen."

"In a while, Sakurajima-senpai might become someone only I can see. Hmm, isn't this the 'girlfriend only the one who can see' series?"

Lin Qianshu noticed the blind spot, and Sakurajima Mai decisively extinguished the other party's unrealistic fantasies, saying, "I'm not your girlfriend. Besides, what you've said is just speculation, isn't it?"

"If we're just guessing whether it's true or not, why don't we just go to the station and verify it?" Lin Qianshu said.

The two paid the bill and quickly arrived at the station, but even after reaching the waiting area on the platform, Mai Sakurajima remained unattended...

"Looks like I guessed wrong."

"Yes, I was so confident before, but now I feel a little embarrassed."

"Actually, it's not so bad, anyway, it's just me who knows."

As Mai Sakurajima watched the flow of people, a hint of confusion inevitably appeared on her delicate face.

No matter how much she tries to act mature, she is still just a high school girl who is only one year older than Lin Qianshu.

"Is there any information I don't know?" Lin Qianshu lowered his head and pondered.

"It's getting late, Lin Qianshu," Sakurajima Mai said.

Lin Qianshu invited, "Would you like to come to my house for a visit? Or I can come to your house too."

Without hesitation, Mai Sakurajima refused, saying, "Overly clingy boys aren't welcome."

Lin Qianshu didn't press the matter, and instead said, "Alright, may I ask one last question?"

"Just ask."

Perhaps because Lin Qianshu had diligently kept her company during her 'idle' time, Mai Sakurajima agreed to his request almost without hesitation.

"Sakurajima-senpai, what's the thing you most want to do right now?"

"..."

"Can't you answer that?"

"I'm not sure if I can answer this right away if you ask me this suddenly."

Lin Qianshu said jokingly, "Isn't it simple?"

"Simple?"

"Returning to the entertainment industry."

Mai Sakurajima's eyebrows twitched slightly, almost imperceptible unless you looked closely. Then, she sighed and said with a dejected expression, "When did I ever say such a thing?"

"If you didn't have this idea, why would you keep honing your acting skills?"

"I'm honing my acting skills?"

"Compared to your last film before the end of your acting career, your acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Without a long period of study and practice, you simply could not have achieved such ease."

“I’m gifted.”

"Then who was that person staring intently at the movie ads on the platform just now?" Lin Qianshu threw out another argument.

“You’re not suited to be a detective, Lin Qianshu,” Sakurajima Mai said earnestly, as if trying to convince herself, or perhaps as if trying to convince Lin Qianshu.

"You were wrong before, and you're wrong this time too."

Lin Qianshu retorted without backing down, "Deductions may be wrong, but emotions don't lie."

"..."

Mai Sakurajima tried to remain calm, but found it impossible. Then, as if throwing a tantrum, she turned her head away and said, "I will not make a comeback."

"Why? Just do it if you want to. You have the ability and the results now. And your agent is waiting for your return, right? The fan groups are still being maintained."

"...It has nothing to do with that person!"

Sakurajima Mai's voice suddenly rose, then she realized she had overreacted. She tucked her hair behind her ear and looked back at... no, she should say glared at Lin Qianshu.

"Don't say anything unnecessary."

It seems to be related to the agent.

Lin Qianshu, who had stepped on a landmine, did not feel panicked or scared, but she also did not continue to ask questions. Instead, she simply apologized and said, "I'm sorry."

"..."

Mai Sakurajima checked the time with her bowl and said, "I'm going back now."

"I send you."

"no."

At the station entrance, Mai Sakurajima suddenly turned around and said in a cautionary tone, "I'm satisfied with the current situation, so let's leave it at that."

She paused, her anger subsiding slightly, and then said, "Also, thank you for spending time with me today, but let's pretend we've never met after this."

After saying that, Mai Sakurajima turned and disappeared into the crowd.

Lin Qianshu stood there, already thinking about how to have the next 'chance encounter' with the other person.

Chapter 67 Who are you calling an idiot?

The morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the bedroom floor, while a short, urgent alarm clock rang from the bedside.

A small, fair hand emerged from under the thin blanket and turned off the noisy alarm clock, bringing quiet back to the room.

Five minutes later, the phone next to my pillow started vibrating.

The room's owner then opened her eyes, yawning as she turned off her phone. She sat up in bed, the thin blanket sliding down according to Newton's First Law, exposing the girl's graceful curves to the air, but unfortunately, no one could see them.

I got out of bed, stretched, got dressed, washed up, and finally went to the refrigerator. While taking out some ingredients, I put the carton of milk into the microwave and heated it on the lowest setting. By the time it was heated up, breakfast was ready.

After gratefully eating all the food, she picked up her backpack and headed out to school.

And this is Mai Sakurajima's morning routine.

The train that took her to school arrived at the station around the same time every day. Once Mai Sakurajima got to the station, she didn't have to wait long before she could hear the announcement on the platform as the train pulled into the station.

Once inside the car, amidst the surprised expressions of the crowd who exclaimed, "It's Mai Sakurajima!" the girl calmly boarded the vehicle. Being discovered, noticed, watched, and even secretly photographed was nothing new to her.

This attention continued even after she arrived at the campus. Perhaps it was because she was at the school, or perhaps it was because her status as a big star made her seem too distant. Although her classmates would occasionally glance at her, no one dared to approach her and speak to her.

Mai Sakurajima sat alone in the last row of the second column by the window, completely out of place with the laughter around her, as if she were isolated from the world.

Yes, as a former national-level actress in Japan, Mai Sakurajima was not popular in her class, or rather, she was extremely unpopular.

In short, she had no friends in her class, no one approached her to talk, and even her teachers deliberately avoided calling her name during class.

Like 'air'.

Mai Sakurajima didn't seem to mind this outcome at all; in fact, she even seemed to be... enjoying it?

"Isn't this good enough?"

At least that's how Mai Sakurajima convinced herself.

Then she inevitably thought of the boy she met in front of the bakery yesterday, and the conversation that ended up being anything but pleasant.

She seemed to have said some very offensive things back then. The other person clearly wanted to help her, and the other person had already apologized... No, the other person didn't even need to apologize. She understood the principle that ignorance is no excuse.

Thinking about this made Mai Sakurajima feel a little irritated. She looked out the window and saw that the azure sky had been covered by thick clouds, making it look gray and like it was about to rain.

Luckily, I brought an umbrella, Mai Sakurajima thought.

While having breakfast, she noticed the weather forecast on her phone and put her umbrella and keys together beforehand.

……

Mai Sakurajima's face darkened. She opened her backpack, but there was neither an umbrella nor a key inside.

Clearly, she put the umbrella and keys together, intending to use the importance of the keys to remind her to bring the umbrella before going out.

Unfortunately, the key didn't seem to be as important as she thought.

"This is troublesome..." Mai Sakurajima began to pray that it wouldn't rain before she got home.

It seemed that heaven heard Mai Sakurajima's prayers, and even though the sky was terribly gloomy by the time school ended, not a single drop of rain fell.

Mai Sakurajima hurried through the crowd, arrived at the platform, boarded the train, and got off. She didn't even remember to buy the cream bread she always did. Finally, she arrived at her apartment building before the rain started.

"Huff, huff..." The girl was panting, her cheeks slightly flushed.

After calming herself down a bit, Mai Sakurajima approached the apartment manager.

"Um, excuse me, I'm the owner here, but I forgot my keys at home. I need you to issue me a certificate so I can find a locksmith." Mai Sakurajima politely explained her current predicament to the staff.

However, the staff member seemed oblivious, busy with her own affairs.

At that moment, Mai Sakurajima's heart sank to the bottom.

Outside the apartment, a raindrop fell to the ground, followed by two drops, three drops... More and more raindrops were drawn by gravity, and soon it turned into a downpour.

……

Lin Qianshu stepped out of the elevator, her trouser legs still damp with water.

Because of the heavy rain, even though he had brought an umbrella, he still couldn't avoid getting his trousers and shoes wet.

Even so, it's still much better than Mai Sakurajima's current condition.

Wearing the Minebara High School uniform, Mai Sakurajima sat on the ground with her back against the wall, her knees and thighs tightly together and her lower legs spread apart. This posture is generally called the "sports sit," which is the sitting posture that girls adopt during breaks in physical education class.

However, girls usually wear gym pants when they go to PE class, but now Mai Sakurajima is wearing a short skirt school uniform, which is also wet from the rain and clings tightly to her body.

As a result, the pure white underwear was completely exposed to Lin Qianshu's view through the wet black pantyhose.

"Finally home."

"The club activity just ended."

"They actually joined a club..."

"Sakurajima-senpai."

"what's up?"

Lin Qianshu, who had already activated his photographic memory, pointed to Sakurajima Mai's lower body and reminded her, "Your underwear has been seen."

Mai Sakurajima suddenly realized, then looked down to check her lower body.

"It's just...it's nothing that a boy younger than me saw my underwear."

Sakurajima Mai said this, but her actual action was to clamp her arms between her thighs and pull down the fabric in the middle of her skirt.

For some reason, this attempt to conceal what's under her skirt is far more provocative than when she had her front wide open earlier.

"Your face is very red."

"Because...because I'm excited!"

"Slut."

"Who, who's a pervert!"

Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but glare at Chiki Hayashi, but because her cheeks were flushed, she didn't look intimidating at all; instead, she looked like she was flirting.

"Just stand up first," Lin Qianshu said, extending his hand.

Mai Sakurajima blocked the doorway, making it impossible for him to open it.

Do you have your keys?

Mai Sakurajima instinctively reached out her hand, but then suddenly remembered what she had said yesterday, so she withdrew her hand and chose to get up on her own.

Lin Qianshu didn't mind, inserted the key into the lock, and said, "Only an idiot would forget his keys when he goes out, right?"

"Who are you calling an idiot?"

Chapter 68 I can eat three bowls of rice just by hearing a voice.

According to the famous "smashing a stone to make a dog bark" theory, Mai Sakurajima's remarks clearly exposed the fact that she is the idiot who forgets to take his keys when he goes out, as described by Chisuke Hayashi.

Once inside, Lin Qianshu found a dry towel for Sakurajima Mai.

"Thank you."
