In Yohoshi and Sakurajima Mai's eyes, there were three people.

Ye Xing thought that if Ba Chi hadn't gone to work today and had stayed with her instead, it would have been even more lively.

"so..."

While waiting for the water to boil, Yohoshi glanced at Sakurajima Mai, who was sitting gracefully on the sofa with impeccable posture.

"Were you the one who's been following Futaba these past few days?"

Hearing Yoru use the word "stalking" seemed to trigger some unpleasant memories for Sakurajima Mai, causing her to frown slightly, tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and say indifferently.

"Calling it 'stalking' is a bit inappropriate. Futaba and I were going home in the same direction, it's just that she couldn't see me. I didn't intentionally hide my whereabouts."

"So that's it."

Night Star nodded slightly.

"So, what exactly do you want?"

Mai Sakurajima remained silent for a moment, then suddenly uttered a startling statement in an extremely calm tone.

"Yoru-kun, if I'm not mistaken, your Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Investigation Club isn't just a whim among high school students, but rather..."

"They really had contact with supernatural events, it could even be called..."

"Some of you are supernatural beings, right?"

Faced with Mai Sakurajima's confident words, Yohoshi unexpectedly shook her head, delivering a triple denial.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"Forehead..."

In Mai Sakurajima's plan, the following topics would all be based on the premise that Yohoshi would acknowledge this, and then continue to develop.

This sudden triple denial completely disrupted her rhythm, leaving her momentarily speechless.

If Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukinoshita Haruno were here, they would know.

It's time to start.

Night Star's standard skill: plaintiff becomes defendant, defendant becomes plaintiff.

A turn of attack.

Mai Sakurajima composed herself before continuing.

“You don’t need to deny it. I have personally witnessed the entire process of your club member, Miko Yotsuya, fighting against some kind of ‘being’.”

Night Star's answer was simple and unpretentious.

"She has chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)."

If Yotsuya Miko were here, she would definitely be asking a big question mark.

?

Am I developing chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?

Mai Sakurajima believed that her words were without flaws.

In fact, Ye Xing had already obtained two pieces of information from this short sentence.

As Mai Sakurajima's puberty syndrome worsens, Miko Yotsuya, who used to be able to recognize her presence, can no longer see her.

Although Yotsuya Miko is usually a bit naive, she would never make such a basic mistake during an exorcism, showing off her abilities in front of ordinary people.

The only explanation is that she cannot see Mai Sakurajima, and neither can Hyakume, the personification of her soul, nor Hachisaku, the best employee of the Superpower Company who follows her.

Second point.

Mai Sakurajima cannot see evil spirits, ghosts, or the materialized existence of souls; both sides are essentially blind.

Otherwise, given the bizarre appearances of Hachisaku and Hyakume, even if they came to contact him today, they wouldn't have reacted so calmly.

"The noodles are ready."

Just then, Rio Futaba came over with two bowls of instant noodles and placed them on the coffee table.

Yoru looked at Mai Sakurajima and smiled.

"You eat first."

Mai Sakurajima hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded shyly.

"Then I won't be polite."

She bent down, tucked her hair behind her ear with her left hand, held the bowl of instant noodles in her right hand, and gently blew a breath through her slightly parted lips.

This action is very awkward.

Of course, this is not Night Star's main focus.

"Eh, I only made one bowl...?"

Rio Futaba stood up, a look of doubt in her eyes.

"You eat first, I'll go make another bowl."

She muttered to herself as she walked back to the kitchen.

"How could this happen...? Has my memory been a bit off lately...?"

Looking at the bowl of instant noodles that Sakurajima Mai touched, Yohoshi thought to himself, "I knew it."

Anything that the other person comes into contact with will disappear from their perception.

In this way, the strange phenomenon of Mai Sakurajima holding an item, but outsiders seeing something floating in the air, will not occur.

This ability...

A bit fierce.

I, Night Star, would like to call you the strongest mental patient.

Feeling his intense gaze, Sakurajima Mai shrank back, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked wary.

"You're staring at me like that, are you plotting something?"

"Mai Sakurajima."

"Do, what should I do?"

"Join the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Club!"

"what?"

Mai Sakurajima clearly hadn't followed Yosei's train of thought, and frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Ye Xing spoke with righteous indignation.

"Saving the world needs your strength!"

"I have no interest in saving the world."

"I will provide you with three meals a day."

"Hiss... If that's the case..."

Clearly, Mai Sakurajima was tempted.

After experiencing symptoms that appeared and disappeared intermittently, the biggest difficulty she faced was that others couldn't see her, she couldn't buy things, and there were no leftover ingredients at home, so she couldn't cook.

simply put.

There's nothing left to eat.

Mai Sakurajima's predicament actually has a very simple solution.

Just steal it.

This ability to disappear from cognition yet still be able to touch objects—if it fell into Ye Xing's hands...

He didn't even dare to think about it.

do whatever you want.

It is a pity.

Mai Sakurajima's moral standards are much higher than his, after all, Yohoshi has no moral standards.

Even if she wouldn't be caught, Mai Sakurajima couldn't bring herself to steal food.

Therefore, how to survive has become her biggest problem.

Besides.

It would be impossible for Mai Sakurajima to be completely uninterested in what was happening inside the Superpower Society.

After all, she had witnessed with her own eyes the scene of Yotsuya Miko holding a long sword, fighting with something in the alley.

Mai Sakurajima knows what chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is.

Would someone with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) really carry such an ancient-looking, very valuable longsword to complement their performance?

Again.

Mai Sakurajima wanted to know one more thing.

Why is it that everyone else can't see themselves, but Ye Xing can recognize his own existence?

What is the reason?

After thinking it over, Mai Sakurajima finally nodded.

"I can join the club temporarily, but let me make it clear first, I won't participate in any strange or unusual activities the club does."

"Don't worry, our club's activities are normal. We just stroll around Kyoto and collect what we see and hear along the way."

"That's good."

Mai Sakurajima thought to herself that this was probably an activity organized by a tourism-related club, but she didn't ask any further questions.

Seeing that the other party had agreed, Ye Xing was satisfied.

Mai Sakurajima is a special case.
