Zongman: I can modify the status bar

"Hey! What are you two doing?!" At this time, a security officer on a bicycle suddenly braked and stopped by the roadside, looking at the two people behaving strangely and shouted loudly.

"It's okay, we're just playing!"

Koga Tomoe blurted out to the security personnel, which stunned Haruki. What do you mean by playing?

"..."

The security officer was silent for a moment, then warned them to be mindful of the impact, and then left, muttering as he left, "Young people these days are really extravagant."

"Fortunately, I managed to fool them, otherwise I would be in trouble..." Yaohui didn't want to be involved in such a strange thing. Wasting time was only one aspect, and there was no benefit. If necessary, he would have to waste magic power to do unnecessary things.

On the other side, the little girl's mother also came over quickly and expressed her gratitude to Haruki and Koga Tomoe. Just like that, the incident of the unexpected departure ended?

No, the source of the magic power has not been solved yet. Haruki sensed it again and this time he locked onto the target immediately, which was Koga Tomoe next to him.

"Hello, at least we know each other after a fight. Here is my contact information." Yaohui was still simple and straightforward, without any beating around the bush. After all, everyone's time is precious.

"Eh?! Oh..." Koga Tomoe didn't react to what was happening for a moment, and just naturally took the contact information handed to her by Haruki.

"If you have anything, please contact me. We're all in a hurry today, so I won't waste any more time. See you later!"

Haruki doesn't have the energy to create branch lines now, so he'll just save the file first. Leaving a contact number is just laying a hook. In fact, as long as Haruki wants, he should be able to find Koga Tomoe's location just by relying on magic sensing.

When Koga Tomoe came to her senses, Haruki had disappeared, and the God of Destiny had lost the contact information in his hand.

The girl didn't think much about it, saved the contact information in her mobile phone, and then hurried to the appointment. The accident just now had delayed her for a while, and it would be very rude to be late.

……

Haruki took the subway and soon arrived at Sakurajima Mai's residence. Seeing that it was Haruki, Sakurajima Mai also put on her backpack and came out to greet him.

Haruki looked left and right at Mai Sakurajima. She was traveling light? She should at least bring some spare clothes and daily necessities, right?

"Only this?"

"Huh? Are you talking about clothes or something? I have already asked the moving company to send those to your house." Sakurajima Mai explained her affairs very casually and didn't even notice anything wrong.

"..." Yaohui frowned instantly, realizing that things didn't seem that simple.

"Did you contact the moving company yourself?"

"Yes, otherwise you could help me contact him?" Sakurajima Mai seemed to have not understood what Haruki meant. She closed the gate of the yard and walked out.

"I mean, can they see you?" Haruki was also in a daze, not knowing what was wrong with Mai Sakurajima.

"Ah?! Yes, how could I forget about this!" Sakurajima Mai now understood what Haruki meant. Her current condition should not be seen by others, and even if she took the initiative to contact others, she would be ignored. So normally it would be impossible for her to call a moving company, but just now, she did it alone?

"Does that mean that you have recovered a little? Before, you would be ignored in a certain area and time period, but you would recover afterwards?" Haruki recalled Sakurajima Mai's previous description of symptoms. If this is true, then Sakurajima Mai is very likely recovering slowly, and this problem seems to be solved!

"If you say that, I'll also..." Sakurajima Mai's mind is also very confused now. She had already made plans to live with Haruki for the rest of her life yesterday, but today her illness slowly recovered. Isn't this too dramatic?

"Right, if that's the case, then... let me think about how I should put it. You became like this before because others always paid attention to you, so you hoped that you wouldn't be noticed, which led to your symptoms a while ago. But now that this desire has weakened, is it better now?"

Haruki analyzed rationally that he had helped Sakurajima Mai to drain away the magic power in her body, so the rest could only be recovered by herself. This was the recovery process in the past few days, and the explanation was very reasonable!

"Hmm... now that you mention it, maybe this is possible. Maybe deep down in my heart I really don't want to escape other people's gazes as much as before, so the symptoms are slowly recovering." Sakurajima Mai also tried to analyze it. Although she might not care so much in her mind, who can know what she is thinking deep in her heart?

"Well, how about this, why don't you try to make a comeback? This will not only attract everyone's attention again, but also allow you to face your inner self. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?" Haruki remembered that the original solution was to make everyone pay attention to Sakurajima Mai, but the process was still too ridiculous. This might be more scientific.

Chapter 336 A lifetime?

"A comeback...?"

As soon as she heard the word, her face suddenly became serious. This expression was not surprising. After all, something serious had happened that hurt Mai Sakurajima's heart, otherwise she would not have retired from the entertainment industry.

"Of course, there's no need to be too anxious. Try to slowly make more friends first. At least now I can confirm that your symptoms have eased a lot. I'm not the only one who can see you anymore, right?"

Haruki might be worried that things might get complicated if things go on like this, so his proposal is indeed a bit radical. However, considering that Mai Sakurajima's condition is not stable enough at the moment, he can accept taking it slow.

"Hey, do you know why I had to quit the entertainment industry?"

Originally, Mai Sakurajima thought that Haruki might know everything, so she didn't talk much about her own affairs. However, judging from Haruki's reaction just now, perhaps he didn't know everything, including what happened specifically when she was determined to quit the entertainment industry.

"I remember..." Haruki began to recall his memories of the anime after being reminded by Mai Sakurajima. However, the time interval was too long, and the specific details would definitely be different, so Haruki did not talk nonsense.

"Forget it. I don't really know the details, I just know the general idea. The reason for your withdrawal has a lot to do with your mother, right?"

Mai Sakurajima nodded. It was actually not easy to be so clear about things. Others knew nothing about most things. Haruki was already far ahead.

"It was in my third year of junior high school. I took a set of photo albums with a scale that I couldn't accept..." Sakurajima Mai slowly explained the reason.

"We had originally agreed that there would be no swimsuit photo shoots, but my mother, who was my agent at the time, signed a contract without my knowledge and agreed to my swimsuit shoot. We had a huge argument, and I ended up taking revenge on my mother by stopping my entertainment activities."

Mai Sakurajima lightly recounted an experience that could be considered a secret, with a hint of sadness visible on her face.

"It must be hard. Although your most innocent thought was to avenge your mother, you ended up having to give up your beloved acting career. And even if you gave it up, people would still keep following you and secretly photographing you. You've worked so hard over the years."

To some extent, Haruki could understand Mai Sakurajima's pain and inner conflict. Although it could not be called comfort, at least he wanted Mai Sakurajima to know that he was indeed on her side, otherwise... it would not be conducive to her recovery.

Hearing Haruki's self-centered thoughts, Sakurajima Mai's nerves, which had been tense since a while ago, relaxed, and the tears in her eyes quietly slid down, leaving only a tear mark.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you... are so thoughtful. You can actually understand my inner thoughts." Sakurajima Mai raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a slightly crying voice, and looked at Haruki beside her with a smile.

"It would be a lie to say I have no regrets or regrets. After all, that was part of my life. I was troubled for a long time before I made up my mind to give it all up."

"At that time, I was just a junior high school student, and my mind was not mature enough..."

"But she is indeed courageous!" Haruki couldn't help but praise her. Being able to give up everything she had at such a young age, most people certainly couldn't do it, and after seeing the prosperity of the world, many people would have to compromise because they couldn't bear to give up these scenery, but Sakurajima Mai still resolutely gave up. You can say that she did it impulsively to get angry with her mother, but she also took responsibility for her decision to the end. From that time until now, she has never contacted her mother to ask to re-enter the entertainment industry.

But what she was thinking was actually not that important.

"I'll just take it as a compliment." Sakurajima Mai was not annoyed by Haruki's interruption. Instead, Haruki's words made her relax a little.

"Thinking back on it now, it still makes me angry. We had agreed to just do a normal photo shoot, but when we got to the studio, they suddenly said they had their swimsuits ready. I was also told that I had already signed the contract and had to do it. Otherwise, it would be a breach of contract and I would have to pay a lot of money. I felt so helpless and at a loss."

"When I was filming in a swimsuit, I hadn't recovered yet and could only force a smile like a doll to cope with the filming."

"It's true that your mother went too far. Maybe after so long you don't hate her so much, but even I would still say that it's a beastly behavior to make such a young child suffer so much." Yaohui has always been very fair. If he thinks she is a beast, there is basically no suspense.

"I agree." Mai Sakurajima nodded repeatedly after hearing what Haruki said.

"In the final analysis, that guy just treats me as a cash cow. He doesn't treat me as his daughter at all. There's not even an ounce of family affection between us!"

"So what I just said was just a suggestion. From my relatively objective point of view, I think you really should return to the entertainment industry." Yaohui started chatting.

"Like you just said, you actually still want to film movies and commercials, but you're still carrying painful memories with you, which has led to your current symptoms. If you still want to film, then you don't have to endure it, just go for it. You know everything in your heart."

"Of course, I'm not urging you to start filming right away or find your mother and reconcile with her. Your situation is just showing signs of improvement. Once you've stabilized and are mentally prepared, you can try to come back. Until then, you can stay at my house. I'll do my best to help you find a solution. What do you think?"

Haruki will not put too much pressure on Mai Sakurajima. Too much pressure will have the opposite effect. Her current symptoms may be due to excessive pressure from various aspects, including herself, which has caused her to become like this. So don't be impatient.

"Thank you, Haruki...Brother."

Mai Sakurajima didn't know Haruki's age, but since he was married, he must be older than her, so it was okay to call him brother.

"Don't be polite. There are so many rooms in the house. You can stay as long as you want."

"Really? If I live here forever, will you get tired of me?" Sakurajima Mai looked at Haruki with a slightly blushing cheek.

"lifetime?"

Yaohui only felt a force of gravity coming towards him.

……

Chapter 337 Preparing for Comeback

"Uh... well, Miss Mai, let me ask you first, what do you mean by 'a lifetime'?"

Haruki did not lose his mind because of Mai Sakurajima's words that sounded like a confession. Even if Haruki was the only one in the world who could see Mai Sakurajima, wouldn't it be too heavy to decide on the next life together?

The overwhelming feeling of suffocation made Haruki resist instinctively. He had already said that he could stay as long as he wanted, but he insisted on talking about a lifetime. Haruki's moral value was still too high.

"That's exactly what it means. I'll stay by your side forever, and no one else will even know I exist, not even your significant other. So, I can openly have a harem. Isn't that awesome?"

Mai Sakurajima is very familiar with similar thoughts, and she has nothing to say. To a certain extent, she is very real.

"Okay, stop talking, let's first..."

Haruki quickly interrupted Mai Sakurajima's astonishing speech. The phone in his pocket vibrated and rang. Haruki picked it up and it was an unfamiliar number.

"Moses Moses?"

"A moving company? Okay, I get it. Just give the phone number to the hostess at home. Yes, that's right. Let them move the things in first. Just put them in any empty space. I'll clean up when I get back. Okay, I get it."

In just a few words, Haruki and Shizuka Hiratsuka explained the luggage that the moving company was sending over. It was basically clothes and daily necessities, which had been packed in large boxes, so they could just put them in the open space first.

Finally, Haruki glanced at Mai Sakurajima next to him.

"By the way, ask them what the name of the employer who commissioned them is?"

Haruki knew that Mai Sakurajima would not make a mistake in such a matter, and the facts were right in front of him. It was impossible for the moving company to come and move Mai Sakurajima's luggage over by themselves. Now it was just to verify it again to avoid any mistakes later.

"It's... Sakurajima Mai, right? Okay, I understand. I'll be back later, don't worry. Um, you guys should also be careful and don't go out unless necessary. Okay."

Haruki put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. The people at the moving company still remembered Mai Sakurajima, so even if Mai Sakurajima's current symptoms had really stabilized, it was a good thing.

"Are you relieved now?" Sakurajima Mai said angrily, as if Haruki didn't believe her. "I just didn't react for a moment. All I could think about was moving in with you, so..."

As she spoke, Sakurajima Mai's face turned red again.

"I'm just confirming, uh...well, you should contact your mother or some agency as soon as possible. It's a good time to strike while the iron is hot and let everyone notice you. This will definitely get a faster response." Yaohui didn't like to lead the topic to strange places, with ambiguous tone and words, so it was better to be direct.

"Why, you're so eager to get me out before it even starts!"

Mai Sakurajima immediately became unhappy when she heard this. She had just said that there was no need to rush and that she could stay in his house as long as she wanted. But she changed her mind in just a few minutes?

"No, I'm just suggesting. After all, I suspected just now that you had only recovered temporarily and your condition was not stable enough, so it's okay to recuperate for a while. But the situation is different now. Your condition seems to be more stable than I thought. So why don't we take this time to give you a strong dose of medicine? Do you understand what I mean?" Yaohui really felt that this would be relatively better.

"Of course, if Miss Mai says she absolutely doesn't want to make a comeback for the time being and just wants to stay at my house, that's fine too. I'm not that dishonest."

"Okay, now you've said all the good and bad things. It's like I have to stay by your side and don't want to leave. Come back if you want!"

Mai Sakurajima pouted, took out her cell phone and sent an email to her mother. In fact, she had been thinking about making a comeback for a long time, but she had never made up her mind. Taking advantage of Haruki's instigation, Mai Sakurajima decided to give it a try this time!

The email that had been edited long ago was sent smoothly, and the meeting place was agreed to be at a beach.

"Okay, then let's go there and wait for her. I also want to go to the beach." After sending the email, Sakurajima Mai felt relieved and relaxed. She would never have done this if it weren't for Haruki's instigation. However, since it has been sent, there is no room for retreat. Although she is being pushed forward to some extent, it is still forward!

Haruki and Sakurajima Mai quickly arrived at the agreed location by train.

The two came to the beach and felt the cool sea breeze.

"Hey, won't you consider my proposal? After all, I'm even prettier than a beautiful girl. Even after a few years, I'm confident that I can maintain my current conditions, and I can also..."

"Okay, Ms. Mai, I really don't understand why you are telling me all this. You don't need to emphasize that you are a beautiful girl. Everyone knows it, and I know it too, so why do you always say this?" Haruki was already a little annoyed. Mai Sakurajima's initiative made Haruki feel very disconnected. It shouldn't have been like this.

"It's you who took away my...first kiss..." Sakurajima Mai's face turned red all the way to her ears, and she lost her momentum in an instant, as she had been so righteous just now.

"Uh..." Yaohui really didn't know how to respond for a moment. Some people really care about things like first kiss, and it's not enough to just say something.

Mai Sakurajima originally wanted to discuss this topic with Haruki, but at this time a black car stopped not far away.

"She seems to be here." Sakurajima Mai said as she looked at the woman getting out of the car not far away.

Haruki also followed Sakurajima Mai's gaze and saw a smartly dressed lady with disheveled hair and high heels and stockings walking towards them.

"She... is your mother?" Haruki didn't really have much of an impression of this person. He probably assumed she looked similar to Mai Sakurajima, but definitely a bit older. But the woman in front of him? She was obviously frighteningly young, and her appearance was quite different from Mai Sakurajima. Mai Sakurajima was relatively cute, while her mother was very mature.

"Well, are you surprised? I'll explain my plan to return to the entertainment industry and sign a contract with another agency to her later."

However, Sakurajima Mai's mother walked to the beach but did not move forward. Instead, she stood there looking around.

"Why doesn't she come over?"

……

Chapter 338 A sudden downturn

"Well, since she's not coming over, I'll go over there."

Since Sakurajima Mai has made up her mind, she will not escape, even if the person in front of her is her mother and agent, the person who once hurt her.

"Is it okay? Do you need me to..." Yaohui just wanted to help. If the relationship between the two people was too tense, it would definitely be detrimental to communication. If there was a middleman, it would definitely be much better.

"It's okay, we'll talk things out soon, and then I'll continue my date with you. Please wait a moment."

Sakurajima Mai didn't care what Haruki said. She just said something about a date and walked towards her agent's mother who was not far away.

"What date..." Yaohui was used to it. As long as the problem could be solved, it was fine.

The agent's mother also looked in the direction of Sakurajima Mai. Could it be that she was nearsighted? Perhaps the two of them were standing too far away, so it was normal that she couldn't see clearly.

The mother and daughter walked towards each other with expressionless faces, and there seemed to be a strong sense of tension between them.
