The Stand in the Everyday World

"I think so."

Shunsuke Fujii glanced at the half-naked man standing next to him and felt a little unsure.

After all, I am also a stand in for puberty awakening. According to the setting of this world, it can be barely said that it is puberty syndrome.

"Then what is your illness?" Sakurajima Mai was very curious, but thinking that this was not a happy privacy, she quickly apologized, "Sorry, Fujii Shunsuke, you don't have to say what you don't want to say."

Fujii Shunsuke teased, "What a cunning statement. If I put it this way, then I have no choice but to say it."

"No, I sincerely think so, Fujii Shunsuke-kun, you don't have to say it."

"Actually, if it's Sakurajima-senpai, I won't be bothered to tell you—"

"Don't call me Sakurajima-senpai." Sakurajima Mai suddenly interrupted, "I don't remember ever being your senior."

"What about Sakurajima-san?"

"The last name is too long."

"Oh, I understand. Then Mai-chan—"

Halfway through his speech, Mai Sakurajima grabbed his tie.

"Don't push it too far. Add 'classmate'."

"What a shame. I wanted to shorten the distance between us in one go."

“I don’t like rude people.”

"Okay, Mai-san, what should I call you then?"

"Well, calling you by your full name is too much trouble, and Fujii doesn't match my impression of you, so I'll just call you Shunsuke-kun."

"..."

That's such a double standard.

Shunsuke Fujii kept these words to himself.

"Junjie-kun came to me on purpose, so he should have a solution to my problem?"

Mai Sakurajima skipped the topic about Shunsuke Fujii's puberty syndrome.

"Well, before I can make a promise, I have to personally explain the details." Fujii Shunsuke crossed his arms, "Is Mai willing?"

Although you already know the cause and effect and even have the solution, one of the best ways to get closer is to listen.

Mai Sakurajima looked around and saw that someone in the library had already noticed this place and was looking at Shunsuke Fujii who was performing a one-man show.

"Let's leave here first. The library is too quiet and not a place to talk."

"Yes, that makes sense. Please wait for me for a few more minutes, Mai-san."

Shunsuke Fujii opened the book, quickly flipped through the pages, and began quantum speed reading.

Star Platinum's ability to read ten lines at a glance, coupled with his photographic memory, has this outrageous effect.

Seeing Shunsuke Fujii "read" a book in a few seconds, Mai Sakurajima blinked and said, "Shunsuke-kun, what... are you doing?"

"Read a book, can't Mai-san see it?"

"No, no, no, you told me you were reading a book?"

"Just consider it my superpower."

"......"

Mai Sakurajima stopped talking. Jealousy made her body become unstable. Why are other people's superpowers so useful?

"Mai-san, don't look at me like that. In comparison, I think most teenage boys want your abilities more."

Mai Sakurajima blushed: "Pervert!"

"Huh? Mai-san, what are you talking about? How come you react so quickly?" Fujii Shunsuke laughed wildly.

Sakurajima Mai, who was angry and humiliated, stepped on Fujii Shunsuke again.

But this time the intensity was much gentler than last time.

"Is Mai-san1 rewarding me?"

The foot was retracted instantly.

After spending a few minutes reading all the books, Shunsuke Fujii stood up, put all the books back to their original places, and left the library with Mai Sakurajima.

"Now, where should we go to talk?" Sakurajima Mai asked, "The cafe I often go to was originally a good place, with delicious coffee and desserts. The poster girl was a very enthusiastic JK, and most of the regular customers were acquaintances, but I was ignored last time I went there."

"Where is that cafe?"

"Shitamachi."

"So, Mai-san, are you going to wear this? Aren't you afraid that the train will return to normal halfway through the ride? This will probably be the headline on tomorrow's front page, saying that the famous star Mai Sakurajima is wearing a bunny girl outfit in public, and is suspected of playing sex games with a certain director or producer, or something like that!"

Mai-san punched Shunsuke-kun in the side without any hesitation.

"If you don't do it right, I'll be angry."

"Sorry, sorry, so Mai-san, are you going to my house? My house is pretty big, and close to school."

"Deng deng deng"

She took three steps back in high heels, and a look of confusion and contempt pierced over.

"Mai-san, even if it were me, I would be sad to be treated like this."

"You want a girl you just met to go to a boy's house wearing a bunny girl costume. This girl will be ignored by others and only seen by this boy. Shunsuke-kun, do you have no common sense or do you have bad intentions?"

"Then let's go to classmate Mai's house?"

Sakurajima Mai hesitated for a moment, but she didn't want to show her weakness in front of her junior, so she finally agreed: "Then let's go to my house."

"Great! I got Mai's address!" Fujii Shunsuke answered decisively, "Great!" "Are Mai's parents home?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"Because if I'm not at home, I'll be the only one who can see Mai-san."

Mai Sakurajima paused.

"Just kidding, I can't do anything."

perhaps.

Mai Sakurajima pursed her lips into a straight line.

"Hey, Mai-san, are you nervous? You're a senior, but you're still nervous?"

"Jin, nervous? Who, who is nervous?"

"I'm getting tangled up in words."

"I-I wouldn't care about such a small thing as entering the room of a boy younger than me!"

"You were crying a minute ago."

......

In the end, Mai Sakurajima chose to go back to her home first.

"Please wait a moment. I will change my clothes in a moment."

Mai Sakurajima closed the door with a hint of apology.

It would be extremely rude to lock the guest out, but it would be too risky to bring a boy you just met for the first time into the room.

Especially since I am still being ignored by everyone at this time, even if something bad happens, there will be no evidence afterwards.

Shunsuke Fujii can understand, but that doesn't mean he has to forgive or accept it. He is already thinking about ways to retaliate.

"this is for you."

Soon, Sakurajima Mai changed her clothes and came out carrying a paper bag.

Shunsuke Fujii took the paper bag in confusion, opened it and saw a bunny girl costume inside, which was still warm.

Fujii Shunsuke graciously forgave Mai Sakurajima's rudeness, it had no other meaning, after all, she was a senior, so she wanted to save face.

27. This is self-defense!

The two of them came to the tram station together.

There were advertisements hung everywhere on the tram, and the protagonist was a new star who had recently become popular, and her age was about the same as Sakurajima Mai.

Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but look over there.

"Want to go back?"

Shunsuke Fujii pointed to the advertisements and posters.

Sakurajima Mai said stubbornly: "How is that possible? This is the best now. It would be best if no one in this world knows me and I don't have to live under the gaze of others anymore."

"This is the cause of the disease. So, Mai-san, you have become a transparent person now."

“…You don’t understand.”

Sakurajima Mai ended the conversation with just one sentence.

When the tram drove some distance, there was a sudden commotion among the people around the two men.

"Is that Mai Sakurajima?"

"I'm actually in the same carriage with a famous star. I'm really lucky today."

"Who's that guy next to you? Your lover?"

"Does this count as news? Can I get paid for taking a photo of it and giving it to the newspaper?"

"By the way, when did she get on the bus? Why did I just notice it?"

People around were talking in low voices, but Fujii Shunsuke heard it all.

"It seems the effect has worn off. Mai-san is really popular."

"That's why I said what happened just now was the best. I've been like this since I was a child. It's very hard to always live under the eyes of other people like I do now." Sakurajima Mai said with a hint of pride on her face, as if she had turned the tables.

"Thanks to Mai-san, it looks like I'm going to be famous tomorrow too, as Mai-san's gossip partner."

Sakurajima Mai's expression froze, and then she immediately put on a face that said "don't let me in" and prepared to put on her headphones: "Let's pretend we don't know each other before we get off the bus."

"It seems a little late."

As Fujii Shunsuke said this, he took a step forward and stood in front of Sakurajima Mai. In front of him was a strong man who looked like a gangster, pointing his cell phone at Sakurajima Mai.

With a "click", only the upper body of Fujii Shunsuke was captured.

"Hey, what are you doing, you bastard?"

Seeing that Fujii Shunsuke had ruined his plans, the gangster started to yell and talk nonsense. A companion next to him with a tattoo on his arm and dyed yellow hair also came over when he saw this.

"How dare you, the voyeur, be so arrogant? I just saved you." Fujii Shunsuke looked at the three people as if they were a screaming Chihuahua. "You just wanted to take pictures to make profits for the newspapers. If Mai-san pursues the matter, you will all be charged with violating privacy rights."

Although he didn't know the specific legal explanation, Shunsuke Fujii believed that the three thugs on the opposite side definitely didn't know either.

And since privacy is extremely important and the camera function of all mobile phones is disabled on silent mode, there is a high probability that the other party will believe what you say.

As expected, seeing Shunsuke Fujii's solemn promise, the three gangsters became a little scared.

But hooligans are like goblins. If they are alone, they will probably be timid. But when there are many people, false courage will rise. Even if it is just to avoid being looked down upon by their companions, they will become violent.

The man taking the photo felt looked down upon. Not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his companions, he started yelling rudely with his tongue rolled back.

The people who were originally surrounding them all moved away.

Mai Sakurajima was afraid that Shunsuke Fujii would show off in front of her, so she hurried over, grabbed his hand and was about to leave.

Although she was not afraid of what these gangsters might do, she thought it was better to have less trouble than more. She thought it would be a disadvantage for her if Fujii Shunsuke was hit by even one punch and sent these people to jail afterwards.

When the man taking the photo saw Mai Sakurajima "surrender", he became more proud and was ready to push her.
