Anime Crossover: My Little Sister is Too Clingy

"Although Kanagawa is not a big city, there are so many coincidences. This is the third time this has happened."

"Could it really be as he says, an arrangement from heaven?"

"Or is it a sign from heaven that only he can cure this strange illness?"

Thinking of this, Mai Sakurajima immediately followed with curiosity.

She wanted to find out why he could see her.

Or perhaps something similar happened to him, otherwise there wouldn't be so many coincidences.

......

Seafood section.

"Young man, here's your carp, please keep it safe."

The male clerk carefully wrapped up the plump, lively carp and placed it in the shopping cart.

Lai nodded and replied, "Thank you."

Then, he pushed the cart toward the meat section.

"Senior, what's your intention in following me?"

As Lai pushed the cart, he casually asked the sexy figure beside him.

Mai Sakurajima tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "I just want to ask you something."

Lai looked at her questioningly and asked, "If you ask, I will definitely answer if I know the answer, but if it's a personal question, then forget it."

Sakurajima Mai immediately rolled her eyes at him and shouted, "Be serious! Who wants to ask you personal questions!"

"What I want to ask you is, did you see anything unusual about me?"

"Tell me in detail about the unusual physical symptoms."

Lai stopped in her tracks, her dark eyes showing confusion. "What did you say?"

Mai Sakurajima, seemingly oblivious to anything amiss, repeated, "I said, you've seen me three times, have you noticed anything unusual about yourself?"

Fearing he hadn't heard clearly, I repeated it again: "Something strange about my body!"

Lai was completely baffled. What kind of profound question was this?

Of course there will be some strange reactions. You're dressed so sexily, which man wouldn't have some strange reactions?

Or was she testing her patience?

Or perhaps she was playing a trick on herself?

Seeing him staring blankly at her, Mai Sakurajima reached out and nudged him, asking earnestly, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Lai hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Do you really want me to tell you?"

Mai Sakurajima nodded, her face serious: "I really want you to say it!"

Seeing her persistence, Lai couldn't bear to refuse, so he carefully leaned close to her ear.

"Hard, does that count?"

Chapter 78 The Origin of the Strange Illness

"hard?"

Mai Sakurajima raised an eyebrow, a strange look appearing on her delicate face.

Is this what you see when you first meet yourself?

What kind of anomaly is this?

It was just that my whole body was stiff.

Lai nodded, her ears red, indicating that the first thing I saw in you was your stiffness, your rigid stiffness.

"hard...."

Mai Sakurajima tilted her chin, pondering the strangeness he mentioned.

After a moment's thought, she immediately realized something was wrong, and looked at him with scrutinizing eyes in her dark blue gaze.

The boy's fair ears had turned bright red, and his gaze darted away.

At that moment, Mai Sakurajima understood everything; she understood it completely on her own.

The "hard" he referred to was...

Thinking about how she had just repeated that word so many times, Mai Sakurajima's face turned bright red, and she clenched her fists in embarrassment and anger, then stomped her heels shyly.

Enraged, she stood on tiptoe, grabbed his ear tightly, and spun him around 360 degrees.

"You scoundrel!"

"Hiss..." Lai's eyes widened, his teeth clenched tightly, and he hissed in pain.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much!

The pain was unbearable; one could only grit one's teeth and endure it, daring not to utter a sound. If one did, the people around would think one was insane.

"Humph!"

Sakurajima Mai let out a cold snort, harboring resentment, and slowly released her hand.

Although she was angry, she knew when to stop in public.

After all, he asked the question himself, and he answered it truthfully.

Lai hurriedly rubbed her reddened ears, a tingling sensation spreading throughout her body. She couldn't help but mutter softly, "Who does this? Telling the truth from the heart and still getting pinched."

Seeing him fidgeting and muttering to himself, Mai Sakurajima said with displeasure, "What's wrong? Are you feeling aggrieved?"

Lai was startled and said, "No, no."

After saying that, she pushed the shopping cart toward the meat section.

Mai Sakurajima followed, blushing, and asked, "Besides...?"

"Besides that, is there anything else unusual?"

Looking straight ahead, Lai answered without thinking, "No, I have no physical abnormalities whatsoever."

Hearing his words, Mai Sakurajima felt frustrated and asked again, unwilling to give up: "Then have you experienced anything similar to what I have? Otherwise, how could you see me!"

Lai stopped and lowered her eyes to think about her question.

What she said wasn't without reason; why was she the only one who could see it among the crowd?

But nothing similar has ever happened to her since she was a child, not even to anyone close to her.

Could it be because of X-ray vision?

No, I could see her before I had X-ray vision.

Moreover, X-ray vision can only see through playing cards and gambling-related items.

Or is it due to the system that I can see phenomena that I shouldn't be able to see?

That's not right either. Given the nature of the system, it won't provide silent assistance to the host.

So ultimately it's because of its own shortcomings?

But there's nothing wrong with my body; I eat and sleep perfectly.

Seeing the boy deep in thought with his brows furrowed, Mai Sakurajima felt a glimmer of hope rise in her heart.

After thinking for a minute, Lai shook his head at the sexy bunny girl in front of him and said, "No, I've never encountered anything like this in my life, not even among the people around me."

"As for why I can see you, I'm not entirely sure myself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mai Sakurajima turned pale, took a step back in a daze, and the last glimmer of hope in her heart was mercilessly extinguished by cold water.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she asked dejectedly, "Really not?"

Lai's expression turned serious as he answered truthfully, "Really, no, I swear on my honor!"

Mai Sakurajima gave a bitter smile, then turned and left, looking dejected.

Since he has never encountered this before, how can he have any experience to help him?

Watching her dejected figure, Lai sighed softly and said, "I know medicine. If you trust me, I can help you."

Mai Sakurajima stopped and quickly turned around, her delicate face filled with surprise—the joy of surviving a close call.

"Really?"

"You're not lying to me?"

“Really!” Lai nodded seriously and said, “But on the condition that you tell me when you contracted this strange disease.”

Mai Sakurajima nodded slightly, though she didn't quite believe that he, at such a young age, would possess medical skills.

But now we can only try anything, even if it's a hopeless situation. Hope is better than despair.

Seeing this, Lai pushed the shopping cart and said, "Let's talk as we walk."

If I don't leave soon, passersby will start pointing and gossiping. Right now, to outsiders, I look like a lunatic talking to thin air.

Mai Sakurajima responded and followed him, walking alongside him.

Lai pushed the shopping cart toward the meat section and asked the bunny girl beside him, "Tell me, when did you get this strange disease?"

Mai Sakurajima was silent for a few seconds before saying, "They appeared out of nowhere a week before school started."

Lai was ready to listen attentively, but after she finished speaking, there was nothing more to say. She asked in confusion, "That's it?"

Mai Sakurajima nodded and said, "That's all."

Lai scratched the back of his head, his face filled with utter helplessness.

That's like saying nothing at all. Even if Hua Tuo, the legendary healer from a past life, came, he would kneel down and shout, "There's no hope for you, prepare the coffin."

Mai Sakurajima blinked and said seriously, "It's this time, I've always remembered it!"

Lai reluctantly corrected him, "At least mention where you've been, who you've met, and your state of mind when you saw or heard it."

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima hurriedly covered her ample chest, looking wary of the boy beside her, and said, "Why are you asking this?"

"How come I didn't know that people with medical skills would pry into other people's private lives?"
