The two were not far apart... but they were both doing strange things.

and many more!

Why has someone fainted?!

Kaguya Shinomiya finally lost her composure and was about to call for help when the fallen person murmured, "Just to gaze from afar... gently... at the young lady... I'll be content... and die without regrets..."

Kaguya Shinomiya remained expressionless.

She never expected this.

Why am I encountering such strange things and strange people today?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hayasaka Ai, who was secretly protecting Shinomiya Kaguya, frowned as she looked at Aragaki Manami and Hatsune Miku, her expression suggesting she was caught in some kind of unsettling dilemma.

Something seems off...

……

the next day.

Having already met and chatted with Kato Megumi for a while, Aragaki Manami has also started to go about her own business.

He was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't talk to Kato Megumi for too long, since she also had parents at home.

However, now is not the time to think about such romantic matters.

Because he also had to do a [mission].

If you don't stream, you won't earn any income, so of course you have to rely on [tasks] to make up for it, which is normal, right?

He just hadn't expected to run into an acquaintance this time—

"Ms. Sakurajima."

Manami Aragaki nodded and greeted a girl wearing a rabbit hair clip who looked slightly surprised but not too surprised.

Chapter 96 Mai Sakurajima's Admiration! "The Spider" and "The Harvest"

"So, Ms. Sakurajima is the 'Rabbit Girl' I spoke with yesterday?"

After ordering a drink and exchanging pleasantries for a while, Manami Aragaki got down to business.

Speaking of which...

This time, he didn't actively seek out the "task," but rather the "task" came to him on its own initiative.

By this time, he had already become a paranormal blogger who helped countless people by learning Hayasaka Ai's hacking techniques in the illusion.

Because it involves cheating, false advertising, exaggeration, or even nonsense, it's highly questionable.

It's the kind of platform that gets shut down after being reported a few times.

His reason for doing so was simple.

I want to see if any of the people seeking help are on the [Tasks] list.

If there were such a thing, it would be much more convenient, since you can't just meddle in other people's business for no reason, right?

Therefore, some reasons are needed.

At the same time, you can also make money legitimately.

By the way.

It seems that because his relationship with Hatsune Miku improved significantly yesterday, his fate has improved slightly, and he no longer seems so poor!

This so-called "not being poor" is mainly reflected in the fact that one can at least earn more money.

This time, he directly asked for a reward of 100 million yen.

Otherwise, it should be around 50.

In short, this was a rather accidental coincidence.

As for why Mai Sakurajima didn't go directly to him, but instead resorted to this desperate measure, that's none of his business.

Ultimately, he and Mai Sakurajima are not familiar with each other at the moment.

If it were Hatsune Miku or Megumi Kato, he could ask them casually without any problem.

"Yes, I am Miss Rabbit." Mai Sakurajima blushed slightly but not noticeably when she heard Manami Aragaki's question, and nodded without hesitation.

"Then may I ask, where is the person who is having the problem? I need to meet them, since I don't currently have the ability to solve the problem just by listening to the symptoms."

Aragaki Manami spoke slowly.

He roughly understood what Mai Sakurajima was doing.

That means meeting them once, and if they don't think it's a good fit, then meeting them again. But this screening method is too ordinary.

But there are too many scammers. Even if someone opens a company and displays a business license, they may still be a scammer.

Perhaps it's because his advertising was too good.

“Okay, I’ll take you there right away,” Mai Sakurajima said immediately, but she looked a little embarrassed. “The location is in Yokohama… I’m sorry, the vehicle to take you there will have to wait a little while.”

The vehicle isn't outside?

Aragaki Manami pondered for a moment, then put on a nonchalant expression: "It's obviously faster and more convenient to take the train, so there's no need to go through all that trouble."

He doesn't need to worry about saving face; convenience and simplicity are enough for him.

At the same time, she also vaguely guessed part of the truth—Sakurajima Mai was hiding this from her mother.

It would be easier for her to contact herself, but only Director Nakagawa has her contact information, and Mai Sakurajima would probably have a better chance of contacting Director Nakagawa through her mother.

The fact that there is no private car service now further confirms Aragaki Manami's guess.

He didn't think too much about it; he got the mission from Mai Sakurajima online.

At the same time, she also accepted the task of finding the "woman who doesn't eat" from the folk legend.

This is a "legendary" level mission.

As Manami Aragaki walked alongside Mai Sakurajima, she pondered to herself—

"Simply put, this is about a lazy man who wanted to save money by marrying a wife who didn't eat. In the end, he married a female demon who ate even more and even tried to eat the man. In the end, the man used mugwort and calamus to drive her away."

"In some parts of Kyushu, the female demon in the story is depicted as a 'spider' or a 'snake,' and what I need is the 'concept' of a 'spider.'"

"Furthermore, the banshee also possesses the attribute of 'harvest.' Because she consumes humans, in a sense, she represents a 'goddess of harvest' who provides food for humanity. I wonder if I can usurp her 'concept' to complement my own [Phoenix] characteristics."

"In China, there are various myths and legends about the phoenix bringing blessings to all living beings. Among them is the 'harvest,' and some of the more well-known ones are the Tibetan 'Magic Lamp,' the 'Phoenix Mountain' of Chaozhou, and the 'Origin of Guilin' of the Zhuang ethnic group..."

Therefore, Aragaki Manami came here this time because the profits were good.

Of course, some returns are uncertain, but let's wait and see.

As for Mai Sakurajima next to him.

She was actually wearing a baseball cap, a mask, and sunglasses the whole time.

After all, she's still very popular.

A popular actress who debuted as a child star has had a good fan base since childhood. Coupled with her perfect figure and beautiful face, it's hard not to attract attention.

However, because of what happened with Hatsune Miku yesterday, Aragaki Mana is already quite satisfied for now.

He just regrets that he can't have a closer relationship with Hatsune Miku.

His interest in Mai Sakurajima had waned to a minimum, and he was now more focused on his own interests than ever before.

Mai Sakurajima, who had vaguely noticed the situation, didn't feel pretentious at all, nor did she have any thoughts like "Am I not pretty enough?", "Why aren't they looking at me?", or "Has my charm declined?"

She felt only admiration and respect for Manami Aragaki, along with a little curiosity.

These are all very normal emotions.

not to mention.

She also needs to time things perfectly, because almost every minute and second of her life is now fixed.

Participating in variety shows, commercial activities, shooting commercials... a whole series of things kept her completely busy, and because she had to hide it from her mother, she was practically suffocating.

It should have been simpler to find Aragaki Mana, but she couldn't just get her contact information from Director Nakagawa without knowing the risks of it being exposed to her mother, and the matter between her mother and her father's current wife... she didn't want to get involved.

However, his blood-related sister was still innocent.

While she was out with her friend Nakano Ichika, her younger sister took the initiative to confide in her, and of course she had to fulfill her duties as an older sister.

Originally, she was trying to find Mana Aragaki, but she had almost no other options besides contacting Director Nakagawa. During this time, she also started looking for other channels and eventually found a very famous paranormal blogger.

After all, there's no way there could be that many shills, right?

The result is—

Through their conversation, Mai Sakurajima vaguely sensed something... She unusually believed in what women often call their sixth sense, and in the end, she really did run into Mana Aragaki?!

She almost gasped when she first met him.

Isn't that incredible?

But when she thought about how many cases Aragaki Manami had already solved, she felt a vague sense of entitlement.

"Amazing." Even in her heart, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but praise Manami Aragaki, who stood calmly beside her, from time to time.

This was the first man in her life she admired.

Chapter 97 Mai Sakurajima's younger sister, Toyohama Waka! A family drama?

After half an hour, Manami Aragaki and Mai Sakurajima finally emerged from the station.

Neither of them spoke; the former silently followed the latter.

The latter, Mai Sakurajima, originally wanted to say something polite, but seeing that Manami Aragaki was deep in thought, she simply decided not to disturb her.

Apart from what she absolutely had to say, she also became much more concise and direct in her speech.

Extraordinary people, extraordinary events.

Having been in the entertainment industry almost since childhood, Mai Sakurajima naturally knows how to get along with people of all kinds of personalities.
