(Bonus Chapter 100 Power Stone)
Chapter 97
Watching Mai-senpai's expression gradually darken bit by bit, Mineo spoke with a perfectly serious face.
"To measure your body temperature, of course I had to undo the buttons!"
"Your hands, did they..."
"Does Senpai want to ask if my hands went inside? Of course they did, but don't worry, Senpai, I didn't take any unfair advantage of you!"
"You have no idea how hazy your consciousness was last night; you couldn't even take your medicine. If I hadn't used my mouth to... eh..."
At that point, Mineo immediately clamped his own mouth shut!
He stole a glance at Mai-senpai, and sure enough, her face was currently pitch black and terrifying. A chilling aura, like falling into an ice pit, radiated from her body!
Her gaze was practically emitting "murderous intent!"
"That... what did you just say...?"
"Feeding me medicine? With your mouth?"
"Repeat those words to me one more time!"
"Nothing! I didn't say anything! Senpai must be having hallucinations because your flu hasn't fully healed yet! I'll go brew another glass of fever reducer right now! Just wait a moment, Senpai!"
Seeing that the situation had turned disadvantageous, Mineo intended to make a quick escape!
But at that exact moment, Mai-senpai had already grabbed an object beside her and hurled it with all her might toward Mineo.
"You bastard, just go die already!!!!!"
Senpai's roar instantly echoed throughout the entire floor. It made many neighbors feel strange, prompting them to open their doors to look toward the source of the noise.
Half an hour later, Mineo sat at the dining table eating breakfast with a resigned expression. Across from him, Mai-senpai sat with a cold face, not moving an inch!
If glares could kill, he would have probably been annihilated by Senpai hundreds of times over by now!
Mineo took a bite of bread and sighed inwardly. Then, he picked up a piece of toast and offered it to her.
"Um, Senpai, if you don't eat and just stare at me like this, I feel really awkward! Your flu just got better, and not eating isn't good for you. Have a piece of toast! This bread is actually quite tasty..."
Mai-senpai didn't accept the bread Mineo offered. She gritted her teeth and shot a "fierce" glare at him!
"The things that happened last night... you bastard better forget every single bit of it!"
"Otherwise... otherwise I'll..."
"Otherwise Senpai will fall in love with me!?"
Slap—!
Mai-senpai initially wanted to give Mineo a hard slap!
However, in the end, she couldn't bring herself to land the blow. After slamming her hand hard against the table, Senpai stood up abruptly and retreated to her room. Not long after, she slammed the door shut with a resounding bang.
"Senpai, let's not go out today. Your flu isn't fully gone yet, so rest at home all day. I'll take care of you today!"
After shouting that sentence toward Mai-senpai's bedroom door, Mineo went into her study. He turned on her computer and began searching for some information!
Through the internet, Mineo could find plenty of news regarding Mai-senpai's debut from a few years ago. However, recently, traces of her existence had vanished from the web.
Everyone had forgotten the Mai-senpai who was once a star. If this situation continued, she would truly disappear. Therefore, the plan he had thought of earlier had to be implemented immediately!
Throughout the day, Mai-senpai stayed in her room to rest peacefully, and Mineo kept his promise to look after her all day.
Delivering tea and water, doing the laundry, and cooking; Mineo handled all those small chores. During the busy process, Mineo didn't notice that within the gaze Senpai directed at him, there was a hidden, indescribable tenderness.
After passing a quiet day, time flew by quickly until Monday arrived. Under normal circumstances, Mai-senpai should have gone to school today, but since she had promised Mineo to take him to see her mother, she prepared to call her teacher to ask for permission.
For some reason, even though Mai had called her teacher over a dozen times, her homeroom teacher didn't answer the calls. This occurrence caused Mai-senpai's heart to gradually grow heavy.
"My homeroom teacher isn't picking up my calls."
"Is it possible that even she..."
To be honest, according to the development in the original story, Senpai only truly experienced the full flare-up of Adolescence Syndrome when she reached her third year of high school!
First, people in the outside world forgot her, and finally, her friends at school forgot her!
But now, this world had many differences from the original story, so Mineo couldn't be sure if Mai-senpai's teacher had truly forgotten her.
After pondering for a moment, Mineo said to Mai-senpai:
"Don't worry about school for now! Where is your mother currently? Let's go check on her place first!"
"My mother should be at the company right now. Every Monday morning, she goes there to hold a staff meeting with the employees!"
"At the company, huh? Then let's head out now!"
Mai-senpai's mother managed an entertainment agency. Inside her company, Mai-senpai wasn't the only artist. Her mother's company wasn't very large, but it had seven or eight artists under its wing.
These artists included second or third-tier performers who weren't very popular and were usually managed by other managers regarding their work coordination!
Only Senpai, who used to be a top star, had her development plans personally handled by her mother.
After taking the express train and spending about 30 minutes, Mineo and Mai-senpai arrived in front of her mother's company. After walking to the reception desk, Mineo and Mai-senpai discovered that even the people inside the company had begun to lose the ability to see them!
Mai-senpai bit her thin lower lip tightly, both her hands clenched into fists!
At this moment, an indescribable sense of dissatisfaction and loss surged through her heart!
"Even them... they've forgotten me too?"
