The strategy of the other world of the love game

Sakurajima's mother's purpose was not to confirm whether Sakurajima Mai was really ready to go out and explore the world, nor would she nod and agree for her to sign a contract with other agencies after confirming that she was ready.

This was a test that was doomed to be impossible from the outset.

Seeing that Sakurajima Mai was speechless after being asked by her, a hint of pride appeared on Sakurajima's mother's face.

But her pleasure did not last for two seconds, and then she felt a violent vibration in her body.

Sakurajima's mother half-closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and devoted herself to fighting this feeling.

Although she understood that relaxing her body would make her feel better, lying down and enjoying it would make her not feel any pain.

But in front of her daughter, she had to maintain this attitude and not relax at all.

Otherwise, her daughter would really leave her completely.

This time, the vibration lasted for a full half minute, and Sakurajima's mother barely managed to survive it.

But even though she got through it, her snow-white skin was already tinged with pink, and a hint of charm began to emanate from the depths of her eyes.

The mature working woman who is always serious, cold and meticulous now shows such an expression. The charm and temptation brought by this contrast is enough to make almost all men who see this scene fall in love with her.

If there was a little virgin present, he would probably get bloated if he was glanced at by Sakurajima's mother.

Unfortunately, the only audience member present was Ryoma Esaki, who was a veteran and had seen Sakurajima's mother like this many times.

And Mai Sakurajima, who could only feel irony and ridiculous when seeing this scene.

Such a strong mother is now easily controlled and played around with by others.

You've got this day too!

After withstanding another wave, Sakurajima's mother looked up and found that her daughter's eyes looked at her strangely, and she couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

——Could it be that... Mai has already noticed my abnormality?

But soon, Sakurajima's mother denied this speculation herself.

——No, it's impossible. Mai has never had any contact with the opposite sex of the same age since she was a child, let alone having a boyfriend. She knows nothing about matters between men and women.

——Even if she noticed that something was wrong with her, she wouldn’t think of it that way.

The reason why Sakurajima's mother denied her guess fully revealed her arrogance and the truth that she didn't really care about Sakurajima Mai at all.

She thought her daughter was always under her control, and if she had never had any contact with the opposite sex under her nose, then she must have never had any contact with the opposite sex. If Sakurajima Mai showed her understanding of matters between men and women in front of her, then she must know nothing about it.

In her eyes, Sakurajima Mai has always been the one who was well protected by her. Sakurajima Mai would do whatever she said, and she was the little girl who was completely ignorant of the world and could not survive without her protection.

Mai Sakurajima couldn't see it that deeply, but Ryoma Ezaki who was standing by could see some clues from the changes in Sakurajima's mother's expression.

It seems that it is time to personalize today's meeting.

"Ahem! Mai, now you should understand how difficult it is to survive in this society, right?"

After coughing twice to adjust her state, Sakurajima's mother regained her strong posture and continued.

This time, her attitude did not change because of the shock.

"Mom protected you too well in the past, it's normal that you don't understand these things."

"If you want to go to another agency to make a new debut, mom can support you."

"But the prerequisite is that before that, you must first master the ability to live independently with the help of your mother."

"During this period of time, mom will no longer ask you to do this and that without telling you anything, nor will she decide on her own which jobs to take and which announcements to run."

"I will let you get involved in these things, let you observe and learn how your mother does it, and see how your mother copes with those difficulties."

"Until you grow up and can stand on your own."

“And by then, you don’t even need to sign with other firms. You can use the experience you’ve learned to open your own firm, completely avoiding these risks and getting rid of all worries.”

"Once you start your own business, you will be able to truly gain the freedom you most desire."

After saying this, Sakurajima's mother looked into Sakurajima Mai's eyes and said solemnly.

"That's the biggest concession I can make."

——If my mother had said this and made this change two years ago, perhaps I would not have chosen to quit the entertainment industry.

Mai Sakurajima thought secretly in her heart.

——But...it's too late now.

This is far from enough to make her change her mind now.

Mai Sakurajima's ideal condition is that she will take the lead in future work matters, and her mother will transform and fully assist her.

At the very least, she should have absolute say in important decisions such as which jobs to take.

She didn't want to let what happened to her more than a year ago happen again.

Of course, Sakurajima Mai also understood that it was simply a fantasy to ask her mother to agree to these conditions.

She herself was not even sure whether she could stick to these conditions even if her mother agreed to them.

After all, in the past nearly ten years, she has been engaged in performing activities under the leadership of her mother.

Now that there has been a sudden change in leadership, she is not confident that she can keep it under control.

She was worried that even if she took the lead, she would gradually become passive in her future work and her mother would gradually take back the lead.

There is no way around it. Her bloodline is truly suppressed by her mother.

Given her mother's status, she felt constrained when she wanted to instruct her mother to do anything.

So, after much thought, Sakurajima Mai thought that the best answer for her would be to escape from her mother.

But now it seems that the mother does not intend to let go easily.

But now I will no longer give in easily.

You don't want to let go, but I am no longer the person who lets you control me.

The rose that is Sakurajima Mai has grown thorns.

If you hold it too tightly, you will get hurt!

"Give in? It seems to me that you haven't given in at all, mother."

Sakurajima Mai said coldly.

"You still hope to control me firmly as before, but you just changed the excuse and situation, right?"

"Mai! Is this how you talk to your mother?"

Seemingly a little angry and embarrassed because of being exposed by Sakurajima Mai, Sakurajima's mother actually used the universal "attitude" method.

Mai Sakurajima also understood that when her mother, as a parent, began to blame her with her attitude, it often meant that she was right.

"You don't need to care about my attitude, you just need to listen to whether what I say is correct." Sakurajima Mai was uncharacteristically strong, "If you feel that you can't listen to what I say because of my attitude, then I can also write down what I want to say for you to see. You can't tell that my attitude is bad from the words I choose, right?"

"..."

Sakurajima's mother did not continue to pester Sakurajima Mai about her attitude. She knew that this would not work on Sakurajima Mai now.

"Then I'd like to hear what's wrong with the conditions I proposed."

“This is a huge problem!”

Sakurajima Mai said coldly.

"Mother, you keep saying that you'll let me start my own business after I grow up and can stand on my own, but in my opinion, you're just drawing a pie for me that will never come true."

"I want to ask my mother, how much do I need to grow up to be able to take charge of something on my own? What are the quantitative standards? What requirements do I need to meet to be considered as being able to take charge of something on my own?"

"Is it... entirely up to you, mother, to judge?"

"What else? Can you tell for yourself?"

Sakurajima's mother said as if it was a matter of course.

"In other words, whether I have grown up enough to stand on my own depends entirely on you, mother, right?"

Sakurajima Mai sneered.

"If you say I can, then I can. If you say I can't, then I can't."

"Then you just need to insist that I will never be able to grow up to be able to stand on my own, then you can easily control me, right?"

"I am your mother!" Sakurajima's mother said sternly, "How can you make such malicious assumptions about your mother?!"

"What I'm talking about now is my work. It has nothing to do with the mother-daughter relationship between you and me!"

However, Sakurajima Mai did not give in at all and shouted back harshly.

"I am your daughter, but I am not your property."

"Whether I can stand on my own should not be defined by you or anyone else."

"..."

Sakurajima's mother's face turned completely gloomy.

She took a deep breath, and her expression suddenly returned to calm.

"Mai, no matter how nice your words are, there is one fact you cannot change."

"No matter how much you think you are strong enough, you are still a minor."

As she spoke, a smug smile appeared on Sakurajima's mother's face.

"Even though I think you can stand on your own, unfortunately, the law doesn't seem to allow it."

Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai's expression changed.

Unexpectedly, after I took the initiative to break up with my mother, she not only did not give in, but did something even more ruthless than me.

"Mai, you should understand, right?"

Seeing the change in Sakurajima Mai's expression, Sakurajima's mother's face became even more smug.

"As a minor, no agency can sign a contract with you without my permission and company!"

For Mai Sakurajima, the constraints of the law are a more difficult hurdle to overcome than the blood relationship with her mother.

As long as her mother brought this out, she would have no room for resistance.

Mai Sakurajima understood this from the beginning, which is why she has been avoiding her mother and avoiding talking about work with her in the past two years.

——As expected, is this the final result?

Sakurajima Mai showed a slightly bleak smile on her face.

This time, he mustered all his courage to charge at his mother, but it was just like Don Quixote's charge at the windmill, reckless and stupid.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, Sakurajima's mother froze again.

Her smug expression became stiff, and her strong aura was withdrawn.

Is it again?

Sakurajima's mother gritted her teeth secretly.

Just at this time!

She originally planned to grit her teeth and hold on as she had done before.

But this time the vibration was unusually long-lasting. She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and clamped her legs together. She endured it until she could no longer bear it, but it still didn't stop.

Helpless, she could only stand up and speak in a slightly trembling voice.

"I'm going to the bathroom. You should think about it carefully during this time."

Having said that, she walked out of the room in a weird posture.

After Sakurajima's mother left the treasure chest, Sakurajima Mai also fell into a brief silence.

Half a minute later, she spoke.

"When did you attack that woman?"

"Hmm? Which woman?"
