My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

"Will I die?" Mai's heart sank after hearing what Nan Zi said.

Why are you going to die when everything is fine?

"In fact, even if you don't die, it's not a good thing when everyone forgets you. After all, no one can live in eternal loneliness."

When Sakurajima Mai thought about the situation where everyone had forgotten about her, no one even talked to her, and no one could touch her, she felt like she was getting goosebumps.

This kind of thing has been spreading recently, and Sakurajima Mai has no doubt about the truthfulness of what Kusunoko said.

"So Nanzi, can this kind of thing be solved? Is there anything that can help her?"

At this time, Sakuta saw Mai's condition and hurriedly stepped forward to ask Kusunoko.

"To be honest, I don't have a good solution for things like sense of existence. I'll give this to you. It may help you."

At this time, Kusunoko handed the magnifying glass to Sakuta. Sakuta looked at this thing in confusion and had no idea what it was used for.

"This thing can show the presence value of Mai-senpai. Just think of it as my sister's new invention."

Sakuta put the magnifying glass in front of his eyes doubtfully, and found that there was a big counter on Mai's body.

The numbers above are still decreasing.

Naoto glanced at Nan Zi and asked, "Is it really okay for you to just push the blame onto your own sister?"

This is obviously just an ordinary magnifying glass, but you have given it super powers.

However, Naoto had nothing to say about what Kusunoko did. He could only say that it was okay for Kusunoko to have her own ideas.

Besides, Kongzi had often done harm to Nanzi and him, so it was okay for her to take the blame.

"In other words, all we have to do is keep increasing the number above?"

Sakuta looked at the number above and asked Kusunoko uncertainly.

"That's really the only way for now. However, I'm speculating that if you fall asleep, you'll most likely be swallowed up by the quantum energy around you. By then, you'll most likely forget about Mai-senpai."

At this time, Kusunoki gave Sakuta a final serious reminder.

Chapter 74: Fight on, Pig-headed Boy

"Ha~"

Accompanied by a yawn, Sakuta sat in his seat, already in a state of near death.

It was math class now, and for Sakuta, whose grades weren't very good to begin with and who hadn't slept for almost three days, this was a torture comparable to death.

There is a terrible punishment called sleep deprivation, which is similar to this.

Sleep deprivation is a torture method with a long history, dating back to the Roman Empire's persecution of Christians in the first century. An unspeakable organization in a free country can keep prisoners awake for 180 hours in a row, during which time the prisoners are usually standing or in a compressed position. Sometimes, the prisoners' hands are cuffed above their heads, and the prisoners often break or dislocate their bones.

In order to keep the prisoners awake for a long time, the mysterious organization would use two large lights to illuminate the prisoners and sometimes play loud noises. The prisoners were locked in a room with lights on 24 hours a day or were constantly bombarded with interrogations and unable to sleep.

According to the report leaked by the mysterious organization, at least five prisoners had hallucinations during the long-term sleep deprivation. However, at least two prisoners were not allowed to sleep even when they had hallucinations.

Of course, Sakuta's current condition is not that serious. But if Sakuta is like this, he will probably not be able to hold on any longer.

Naoto was sitting next to Sakuta at this time. Seeing his friend about to die suddenly, he wanted to go forward to comfort him, but he didn't know how to start.

Regarding everything that Sakuta did, Naoto completely didn't understand why it was necessary to go to this extent?

After going to school, I have to go out to work, and I even get to the point where I can fall asleep while standing. Is it necessary to do this?

Before, when Naoto noticed that something was wrong with Sakuta, he also thought about going forward to help Sakuta.

Just when Naoto was about to persuade this guy, Kusunoki stopped him.

"I think it's better for you to pretend you don't know."

"Why? Sakuta can't hold on any longer!"

Although Naoto feels sorry for Mai Sakurajima, in Naoto's mind, his good brother is undoubtedly more important.

"Because I just went to the future and saw some things. It would be a good thing for Sakuta if I don't stop him now."

"You went to the future?"

Naoto looked at his girlfriend in a daze. He didn't expect that Kusunoki would go to the future just for this guy Sakuta.

"The future? What happened then?"

"Naoto, do you believe me?"

"There's no need to say more about this. Even if I don't believe in myself, I will definitely believe in you."

In response to Kusunoko's question, Naoto didn't hesitate for even a fraction of a second and answered Kusunoko directly.

After hearing Naoto's answer, Kusunoko was moved and revealed some information to Naoto.

"Although I can't tell you everything, one thing is certain: Mai-senpai will help Sakuta overcome many difficulties in the future, and in the end, the two of you will become husband and wife. So..."

"I almost understand what you're saying now. I didn't expect that Sakuta is actually a template for the male protagonist of a light novel? The heroine gets into trouble, the hero stands up to help her, and they develop feelings for each other in the end. This kind of plot actually happened."

"So, you know, now you just pretend to have completely forgotten about Mai-senpai, and no matter what Sakuta asks you, you just say you don't know. Nothing will happen to Sakuta, I'm watching over you."

After Kusunoko's assurance, Naoto had no choice but to pretend that he had completely forgotten about Mai. Until Sakuta asked about it, Naoto pretended not to know.

"Naoto, do you still remember Senior Mai? She was the most popular senior in the school."

"Eh, there are actually people like this in our school!? Ahem, Sakuta, no need to say more, I'm a man with a girlfriend, I'm not interested in these things."

"Really? So you don't remember."

"Ah? Well, compared to this, Sakuta, you've been staying up late a lot lately. Is that really okay? I think you're going to become a god soon."

"It's okay, I just stayed up late for a few days, I'm in good health."

Sakuta, whose mind was already confused, didn't realize Naoto's lie at all.

When a person does not sleep for four or five days, the logical thinking in his brain basically disappears.

Naoto is not sure whether Sakuta is talking in his sleep now.

I can only say, brother, thank you for your hard work for your wife.

"You still haven't slept, is that okay?"

"If possible, please ask Senior Mai to give me some reward. I won't feel sleepy anymore."

Sakuta finally managed to hold on until after school, and under Naoto's worried gaze, he took the train all the way to his home.

On the way, he did not forget to buy a few pineapple buns and brought them to Sakurajima Mai who was waiting for him at the door of his house.

Speaking of which, Mai Sakurajima has been having a miserable time recently.

About a day after meeting Sakuta, Mai was unable to return home because the access control system could not recognize her face.

With no other choice, Sakurajima Mai had to temporarily stay at Sakuta's house.

"Can't you be more serious?"

After spending these few days together, Mai Sakurajima has come to understand Sakuta's character.

Although he talks a lot, he is more honest than anyone else.

To be honest, when a beautiful girl lived in his house, this man had no intention of touching her at all. This one point almost tells us what kind of person he is.

"Let me see how present I am today."

At this time, Sakuta ignored Mai's complaints. He pointed the small mirror at Mai and shook his head when he looked at the numbers on it.

"How is it? Still no increase?"

Seeing Sakuta's expression, Mai had almost accepted her fate.

They have tried every possible way these days, but there is still no way to improve their presence.

If this continues, I'm afraid Mai will really...

"Well, it hasn't dropped much today, it seems our efforts are paying off."

These are the only words Sakuta can say to the lost Mai now.

"Well, yes, if you work hard, there is still hope."

In response to Sakuta's comfort, Sakurajima Mai just smiled bitterly. Even she herself didn't believe this statement.

However, seeing Sakuta sitting in his seat and drinking various caffeinated drinks, Sakurajima Mai didn't have the heart to expose Sakuta's little lie.

Mai was already very satisfied that she had met a man who cared about her and was willing to give everything for her before she disappeared.

Chapter 75: Salute the Birth of the King

"Naoto, if you meet a girl you love very much, what would you do?"

Two days later, Sakuta, feeling even more haggard, came to Naoto and suddenly asked him this question.

"Sakuta, let's just say, I usually treat you well, why do you want to frame me like this?"

After Sakuta asked this question, Naoto immediately felt a murderous intent coming towards him.

Is this a question he can answer?

"Oh, I forgot, you already have a girlfriend. Let me change the question. How did you and Nan Zi establish your relationship?"

After hearing what Naoto said, Sakuta slapped his head hard.

Is my mind now so confused that I have forgotten that this guy already has a girlfriend?

"Why are you asking such a question all of a sudden? Could it be that you already have someone you like?"

"Well, that's right."

"That's great, I'll give you some advice. Girls are more concerned about their reputation. If you can confess in a crowded place, the chances of success will be much higher. With the bonus of the venue, you will definitely get more opportunities."

"How many people are there? Are you sure this is all we need?"

After hearing these words, Sakuta silently kept them in his heart.

"But if the other person doesn't like you, it could very well backfire and you may not even be able to be friends anymore."

Seeing Sakuta's pig-headed look, Naoto hurriedly reminded him, but unfortunately, this man was completely unwilling to listen to Naoto's words. Now, it was time to fantasize.

Sakuta, who is almost overwhelmed by life, feels like he is about to die.

Having not slept for nearly seven days is almost the limit for a normal person.

At this point, it was unlikely that Sakuta could continue to hold on.

If it weren't for Kusunoki who was secretly protecting Sakuta, Sakuta might have died suddenly from staying up late a few days ago.

However, life often gives you a left hook and then an uppercut.

This is basically the best interpretation of Sakuta's life.

Even though he was almost fainting, Sakuta unexpectedly had to face another school exam.

This was like a disaster for Sakuta.

Now I have to face the high intensity of staying up late while also facing school exams.

"Are you really okay like this? Or you should take a nap."

Faced with this situation, Sakuta can only ask Sakurajima Mai to help him with his studies.

Seeing Sakuta like this, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but feel distressed.

During this period of time together, Mai Sakurajima gradually fell in love with Sakuta.

Looking at Sakuta’s tired face, Sakurajima Mai felt very distressed.

"Hehe, if Mai-senpai could come to teach me in a bunny girl costume, I would definitely be a hundred times more energetic."

"Are you serious?"

"As long as you dare to wear it, I will learn it."

"Well, I just happened to bring it here today."

After hearing what Mai said, Sakuta was stunned.

He never expected that his casual remark would actually make the other party change into that kind of clothes.

Could it be that I have fallen asleep now? Am I dreaming?
