World Aid Guide

Before Nanami could figure out what was going on, Mashiro had already picked up the bowl and drunk it all in one gulp, even letting out a cute burp. At this point, there wasn't a single grain of rice or a single piece of egg left in the bowl.

Chen Lin was relieved to see that Mashiro had kept all the evidence to herself.

"I'm full. I'm a little tired today, so I'm going to rest now."

"Hmm... Leave the packing to me, brother, go and rest first."

Although Chen Lin had barely slept for the past three days, she didn't want to stay at the dinner table anymore... It was fine for her to add some of her special seasoning to Mashiro's rice, but it would be troublesome if she added some to other people's bowls or even Sakura's.

Chen Lin didn't even dare to think about it.

Chen Lin hurriedly went into the bedroom, and Kato Megumi followed him in after quietly washing her hands.

Seeing Kato Megumi's slightly indifferent expression, Chen Lin hesitated to speak.

Now Chen Lin finally understands why Kato Megumi, who wanted to transform, lost her presence... What she wanted to become was the protagonist of the 18+ Invisible Man game!

"You've been playing visual novels with invisible characters lately, haven't you?" Chen Lin asked listlessly.

"Hmm... I was playing it before."

Chen Lin took a deep breath. "I understand your current situation. I know how to help you get back to normal."

"Wow...that's amazing."

"When you say something impressive, you should sound surprised. But your tone was so calm, you didn't seem surprised at all," Chen Lin explained to Kato Megumi after a pause.

"You wanted to become the protagonist because you were unwilling to continue being a female passerby. Then, coincidentally, the visual novel you played recently left a deep impression on you. It was a visual novel where the protagonist was invisible. So, the puberty syndrome triggered by your subconscious made you lose your sense of existence, just like the protagonist in the invisible game."

"I see... So what can I do to go back to normal?" Kato Megumi said calmly, seemingly not in a hurry at all, but Chen Lin didn't have any good ideas either.

"Hmm... Puberty syndrome arises from your own desires, and it's quite simple to resolve; just fulfilling your desires should solve the problem."

Chen Lin paused for a moment and then led Kato Megumi to the computer.

"Which invisible man game are you playing? Download it so I can play it first."

"Well, I'll do it."

Megumi took the mouse and skillfully opened a visual novel resource website. She logged into her account, found the resource link, downloaded the file to a cloud drive, and finally downloaded the resource... Megumi Kato went through the whole process with ease.

Chen Lin clicked the mouse, but his mind was not on the game at all.

Although Megumi Kato exhibits similar symptoms to Mai's puberty syndrome, their underlying causes are completely different.

However, what Chen Lin said to Kato Megumi was only the surface.

Considering Kato Megumi's unusual behavior over the past two days and the tasks she received, Chen Lin felt that the real underlying reason was her unassuming nature.

If we continue to remain neutral, there won't really be any problem.

The problem lies with Chen Lin and the girls around him.

First, there's Utaha and the others who are most familiar with Kato Megumi.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is a JK light novel author, Eriri is a painter qualified to hold art exhibitions, and Mashiro is a world-renowned oil painter.

Then there's Alice, who's not so familiar... Alice needs no introduction, she's an elf princess from another world.

Finally, there's Chen Lin.

Everyone around Kato Megumi is as dazzling as a protagonist; their individual experiences could easily fill a novel.

But it is precisely this group of dazzling people who have made Kato Megumi the protagonist, and want to make a game based on her as a female passerby.

Chen Lin believes that such a stark contrast is the root cause of adolescent syndrome.

She also wanted to be a leading lady like them, dazzling as they were.

But... he wants to be the protagonist, yet he's afraid to be the protagonist.

Utaha and Eriri each have their own special talents, but Kato Megumi's special talent is... being ordinary?

That's why she became the protagonist in the transparent GALGALME.

So, despite being the protagonist, he's an invisible protagonist with absolutely no presence.

Once you understand your inner conflict, resolving it becomes much simpler.

Just like the aid mission we received yesterday.

Let Kato Megumi transform, even if she's just a passerby, she'll become the main heroine.

However, those involved are often blinded by their own perspective.

Although Chen Lin had a rough idea of ​​the real reason, he couldn't tell her. Sometimes, revealing the truth about things like untying a knot in one's heart would only make things more complicated.

That's why Chen Lin pushed all the blame onto her for playing the "invisible person" game.

The real key point is that Shiha, Eriri, and Mashiro are too dazzling in front of the passerby Megumi, but Chen Lin can't let them become passersby like Megumi Kato.

Hmm... Passersby can't do it, but ordinary people might be able to give it a try.

After Chen Lin had a plan in mind, he focused his attention on the Invisible Man game.

Chen Lin now regrets teaching Kato Megumi massage techniques.

Chen Lin is playing a game, and Kato Megumi is playing with Chen Lin.

While Chen Lin was playing the game, he was clicking the mouse, while Kato Megumi, who had played the game before, was fiddling with walnuts.

...

Chapter 279 Chen Lin's Gift

Without using a full CG save file or fast-forwarding, Kato Megumi stayed by Chen Lin's side the whole time. By the time Chen Lin manually collected all the CGs in the Invisible Man game, it was already late at night.

The game's plot is not complicated; it's about a male protagonist who accidentally becomes invisible and then plays all sorts of pranks.

However, Chen Lin was only doing this to impress Kato Megumi.

A single game is far from enough to trigger puberty syndrome; the game is merely the trigger. What truly causes puberty syndrome are the dazzling 'heroines' surrounding Kato Megumi.

However, Chen Lin pretended that the main reason for the game was to tell Kato Megumi everything. If he told Kato Megumi everything, her mindset might change, which could make things more complicated.

Chen Lin cleared his throat.

“I think I understand now. The simplest way to solve your puberty syndrome is to do the same thing as the protagonist in the game... like the prank you just played.”

"Oh, okay, but what should we do?"

Kato Megumi looked at Chen Lin with curiosity.

In fact, what the protagonist did in the game was tantamount to a crime. Although Kato Megumi wanted to be the protagonist, she could not commit such a crime.

"First... take a shower and go to bed."

Chen Lin wanted to rest this morning, but things with Kato Megumi kept him busy all day. He stood up from his computer chair, stretched, and then looked at Kato Megumi.

"Let's go take a shower together."

Chen Lin spoke in a calm tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Kato Megumi blinked, then nodded.

"Is it because there was a scene in the game where the male protagonist secretly hid in the female protagonist's bathroom?"

"You're so clever," Chen Lin praised as if he were praising a little girl. "And although Sakura should be asleep by now, it would be troublesome if she woke up and found someone taking a shower in the bathroom while I was sleeping."

Kato Megumi blinked.

"Isn't it because you want revenge for my prank earlier?"

"Cough cough cough..." Chen Lin cleared his throat awkwardly. "Well, I did want to get a little revenge... If Sakura had found out just now, my image as the older brother would have been completely ruined."

"So... how do you plan to get revenge on me?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head and asked, her tone very calm, not at all like someone who was about to be 'retaliated against'.

"As revenge... well, your clothes will be confiscated until the puberty syndrome is resolved. In games, the main characters don't wear clothes after going invisible, right?"

"That's true, but you said I'm different from the protagonist in the game, right?"

According to the game's concept, only the protagonist's body is invisible; if he is wearing clothes, he appears to others as a human-shaped garment floating in the air.

But Megumi Kato is different; she is conceptually invisible.

Even her own existence was forgotten; the clothes she wore and the phone she held in her hand were imperceptible, as if she were in a mirror world.

"I know it's different, but this is both a punishment and a way to help you. After all, we have to follow the rules of the game, right?"

"That's...okay."

Under Chen Lin's gaze, Kato Megumi unbuttoned her uniform and handed it to Chen Lin. Seeing Chen Lin's hand gently caressing the uniform that still carried her body heat, Kato Megumi's cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.

"Don't use my uniform to do anything weird."

Just a moment ago she was playing with walnuts with her hands, but now she's worried that her uniform might be used for strange things.

Her sense of shame always seemed to appear in strange places.

"Don't worry, if I want to do something weird, I'll just call you directly, I won't use your uniform." Chen Lin paused, a sly smile appearing on his lips. "However... although I've confiscated your uniform, I'll prepare other clothes for you."
