Anime Crossover: My Little Sister is Too Clingy

"You're not just using this as an excuse to find out my whereabouts, and then taking advantage of the situation to do something lewd to me, are you?"

Lai's face darkened, and she said helplessly, "Big sister, this is a psychological question and answer commonly used in medicine!"

"Besides, I'm not at the point where I'd crave pork belly!"

Mai Sakurajima breathed a sigh of relief, but when she heard him call her "pork belly" again, her anger flared up and she couldn't help but slap his shoulder hard.

While gently patting him, she retorted loudly, "You called me pork belly again! This is the second time you've called me pork belly!"

Lai hurriedly raised his hand to defend himself, looking helpless as he did so.

"Ugh! Do you really think I, Sakurajima Mai, am that worthless?!"

"I, Sakurajima Mai, am a girl beloved by the public, yet you describe me as pork belly?"

"Ugh, I'm so angry!!!"

After patting for a minute, Mai Sakurajima felt her anger subside and withdrew her hand.

She felt incredibly refreshed after the treatment, and even the frustration she had been experiencing for the past few days disappeared.

Lai straightened her clothes, pushed the shopping cart back up, and said, "Tell me what happened after you're done. If you don't want to, that's fine too, it's not my business anyway."

Sakurajima Mai ignored his last infuriating remark and said, "The week before school started, on March 28th, I went to the aquarium on a whim."

"When I got to the aquarium, every time I passed by someone, they would bump into each other as if they didn't see me."

"At first I thought it was just psychological, because everyone was focused on watching the fish, so I didn't think much of it."

"but....."

"But what?" Lai was listening intently when she suddenly paused.

Mai Sakurajima lowered her head in frustration and said, "But at the coffee shop on my way home, I tried to order a coffee, but the waitress didn't hear me at all, and she didn't even notice me when I was standing right in front of her."

"That's when I realized I had disappeared into the crowd."

Chapter 79 Conflict

Lai silently pushed the shopping cart, searching her mind for "medical" skills to see if there were any similar symptoms.

But no matter how hard we searched, we couldn't find anyone with the same condition as her.

Is it because her medical skills were only at the proficient level that her condition was not recorded?

No, being proficient in medicine means having a basic understanding of everything, combining Chinese and Western medicine, and having recorded everything.

Does that mean her condition wasn't an illness, which is why it wasn't recorded in the records?

Thinking of this, Lai looked down at the dejected bunny girl and asked in confusion, "Pork Belly, did you feel anything unusual or uncomfortable before you went to the aquarium?"

When Mai Sakurajima heard the words "pork belly" again, she glared at him with displeasure before falling into her memories.

After recalling for a few seconds, she shook her head and said, "No, I felt fine that day."

“No…” Lai continued to lower his eyes and think, thinking to himself, “My body is not acting strangely, which means it’s not an illness.”

"If it's not an illness, then what could it be...?"

"Could it be the puberty syndrome we suspected before?"

"But the medical knowledge in my brain doesn't record any puberty syndrome that can make people disappear from the world's sight; it's more like an urban legend..."

"I'm collapsing, I'm collapsing, I'm about to collapse!"

The more she thought about it, the more her head ached. She took off her hat and casually hung it on her rabbit ears, her expression troubled as she curled up the white hair on her forehead.

Mai Sakurajima frowned, but seeing how preoccupied he was with her, she didn't say anything more.

As they walked, the hat on the rabbit's ears occasionally emitted a fragrance.

Sakurajima Mai unconsciously twitched her straight nose and sniffed.

It has a delicate peach blossom scent, without any pungent odor.

Mai Sakurajima took another sniff and murmured to herself, "It smells nice, it gives me a feeling of joy and relaxation..."

Upon hearing this, Lai, who was deep in thought with curly hair, had a sudden inspiration.

How could he forget about emotions?!

Emotions include seven categories: joy, anger, thought, sorrow, fear, fright, and worry. These emotions are associated with the five internal organs and are governed by them.

Under normal circumstances, joy corresponds to the heart, anger to the liver, pensiveness to the spleen, grief (or worry) to the lungs, and fear (or fright) to the kidneys.

Lai stopped in her tracks, her dark eyes looking at the bunny girl who was sniffing the air, and called out, "Stop sniffing, give me your hand, I want to see it."

Mai Sakurajima blushed instantly, hurriedly stopped stroking, and asked hesitantly, "You, you want to see my hand?"

Lai nodded and said seriously, "Yes, let me see it quickly!"

Seeing his serious and earnest expression, Mai Sakurajima felt embarrassed to refuse and blushed as she stretched out her hands in front of him.

Grasp her fair and smooth right wrist, gently press the cun pulse with your index finger, the guan pulse with your middle finger, and the chi pulse with your ring finger.

With three fingers forming an arc, fingertips aligned, and finger pads pressed against three points to subtly sense the pulse.

Sakurajima Mai looked at the pulse-taking action and exclaimed in surprise, "Lai-kun, is this the pulse-taking medical technique from Yanxia?"

Lai nodded in acquiescence, acknowledging that this was a unique pulse diagnosis technique in the Yanxia Kingdom.

Mai Sakurajima was shocked to see him nod.

She had heard that traditional Chinese medicine in Yanxia was profound and extensive, especially its ability to tell where a person's body was going wrong just by taking their pulse, which was even more accurate than Western pulse measuring devices.

Could it be that he admires traditional Chinese medicine and therefore made a special trip to the sweltering summer to study it?

At that moment, she showed an unprecedented curiosity towards the boy in front of her.

Lai silently took her pulse and said softly, "You have irregular periods. You've also been staying up late these past few days and sometimes skipping meals."

"Wow, Wow, Wow!" Mai Sakurajima's face turned red with surprise.

She had her period this month, and she had also suffered from insomnia for several nights because of this strange illness. More importantly, she had to go without food for three days because of this strange illness.

Lai put her hand down, ignoring her surprise, and instead pondered silently: "I just took her pulse, and everything was normal except for her menstrual cycle. That means this isn't an illness, but rather an external factor, or rather, a psychological problem."

Thinking about this, and combining it with the previous answers, I already had a little bit of an answer in my mind.

Mo Tong looked at Sakurajima Mai and asked seriously, "What was your mood when you went to the aquarium?"

"And with what kind of emotion do we see what we see?"

Without even thinking, Mai Sakurajima blurted out, "It's a happy feeling, but does that have anything to do with the strange illness?"

Lai didn't respond, but instead asked a question that baffled her.

Have you ever felt suicidal at any moment?

"For example, wanting to go somewhere where nobody knows you, or having the idea that nobody knows you?"

"How did you guess?" Mai Sakurajima asked with a rather strange look.

Are you sure you're a doctor and not some close-knit detective?

Lai revealed a wise look and smiled, "Based on what you said, combined with my limited medical experience, I've come up with this summary!"

Seeing his confident demeanor, Mai Sakurajima felt a surge of hope and asked, "What kind of illness do I have? Is it curable? Do I need to take medicine? What should I avoid?"

Lai took the hat from her rabbit ears, put it on, and said, "It can be called an illness, or it can not be called an illness."

Mai Sakurajima frowned, somewhat confused by his meaning.

"Let's talk as we walk."

Lai is pushing to buy a car again, since buying things is the real business.

Mai Sakurajima followed along out of curiosity.

Lai pushed the shopping cart while answering her questions.

"Actually, your strange illness is called puberty syndrome, but..."

Mai Sakurajima hurriedly asked, "But what? Tell me quickly!"

Lai answered softly, "But your symptoms are different from those of other people."

"Common adolescent syndrome is just an unstable mind, a symptom of self-identification due to sentimentality."

"To put it simply, it's a series of symptoms caused by the asynchronous development of physical and psychological characteristics."

"But yours is different. You want to escape the gaze of others and thus disappear from people's sight."

"And I'll tentatively call your current symptoms a 'mutant version of puberty syndrome,' which is a bit of an urban legend mixed in with it."

Mai Sakurajima looked completely bewildered after hearing this: "I don't understand what you're talking about..."

Lai rubbed his temples helplessly and said simply, "Is there something that makes you want to escape this world and go somewhere where no one knows you, and is this thought getting stronger and stronger?"

Mai Sakurajima nodded and said, "That's right!"

Lai then stated succinctly, "It's because of this idea that you've gradually lost your presence in the crowd; to put it more bluntly, you want to escape reality!"

"Those who lose their sense of existence have only one possibility: they are resisted by the world's consciousness until they die silently!"

Chapter 80 Accompany Me to Kamakura

Sakurajima Mai staggered backward in fright, her expression revealing panic, fear, confusion, and helplessness.

She was terrified by what Lai said; he said he was going to die!

Now at eighteen, she is in the prime of her youth.

There are so many things I haven't done or seen, and I haven't even had the chance to have a boyfriend I love.

Unfortunately, this peculiar "mutant version of puberty syndrome" has left me forever stuck at the vibrant age of eighteen.

How could she accept or face a silent death?

She didn't want to die, she really didn't want to die.

Lai found it understandable that she looked so flustered.

Who can calmly accept the impermanence of life and death, especially at the age of eighteen?

Although Mai Sakurajima was flustered, she knew who could help her now.

She instinctively grasped Lai's wrist, her beautiful face filled with helplessness, and said in a pitiful voice, "Help me, help me, I don't know who else to turn to but you."
