Judging from the photos and videos taken after Sakurajima Mai's comeback, she does not seem to be a person with a low presence. Rather, as long as she appears in the camera, she is the focus of the entire picture.
"Are you curious? Why did I become the manager spokesperson for the National College Football League?" Mai Sakurajima asked, as if she could see through Kazuto Yuyama.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and nodded.
Mai Sakurajima simply took out a tablet and placed it in front of Kazuto Yuyama, then stood up and sat next to Kazuto Yuyama.
Feeling the other person's peach-like fragrance, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly.
If he could smell this scent, Yushan Kazuto felt that he would not ignore the existence of Sakurajima Mai.
Mai Sakurajima just clicked on the screen and the video started playing.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly. The video on the screen turned out to be a collection of his own goal highlights.
Sitting with a girl and watching his own goal highlights, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
However, Sakurajima Mai was just looking at the screen seriously, which made Yushan Kazuto look at her a few more times.
I have to say that my goal highlights are still very nice to look at, and the editing of this highlights is also very good, but it seems that it has not been posted on the Internet.
"Where did this goal collection come from?" Yushan Kazuto asked.
"I edited it myself." said Mai Sakurajima.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink, wondering if he had met his little fan girl.
That’s not right. Sakurajima Mai seems to be a little older than me, so she is a little fan girl?
Yushan Kazuto was having some crazy thoughts.
"Do you feel any changes in me now?" asked Mai Sakurajima.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly and looked Sakurajima Mai up and down. There seemed to be no obvious changes, and even her emotions did not fluctuate much.
Mai Sakurajima smiled slightly, put away the tablet and sat back in her seat.
"Now, could you please order me a waffle for one?"
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but frown. What was the point of Sakurajima Mai emphasizing the waffles for one person?
But after thinking about it, Yushan and Ren walked to the door of the private room and knocked gently.
Hearing the knock on the door, the clerk who was waiting outside quickly pushed the door open and said, "Sir, is there anything else you need?"
Seeing Mai Sakurajima sitting at the seat, the clerk couldn't help but feel a little surprised. What surprised her was not only Mai Sakurajima's identity as a national idol, but what shocked her even more was why Mai Sakurajima suddenly appeared in the private room.
However, this surprise only lasted for a few seconds before being quickly suppressed by the clerk. She imagined a scene in her mind, which might be that when she was chatting with the clerk in the next private room, Sakurajima Mai entered the private room.
"One single-serving waffle." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Don't you want two servings?" the clerk asked.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. From the clerk's expression and words, it can be seen that she can now see Sakurajima Mai, which makes Yushan Kazuto a little confused.
How come after watching a video of herself playing football, Mai Sakurajima's presence increased? Is her own football-playing video the switch for Mai Sakurajima's presence?
If it wasn't for the fact that he had difficulty seeing Sakurajima Mai before, Yushan Kazuto would have even suspected that Sakurajima Mai and the store clerk were setting up a trap to fool him.
"Let's have another serving of golden potato grids," said Yushan Heren.
"Okay, sir, is there anything else you need?" The clerk quickly wrote it down, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Sakurajima Mai.
No wonder Yushan Kazuto ordered two cups of coffee before. It turned out that one of them was for Sakurajima Mai.
However, she found it difficult to understand why there was a cup of espresso in front of Sakurajima Mai, while there was Baileys coffee with sugar and milk in front of Hayama Kazuto's seat.
"Then you two, I will go prepare the snacks first." The clerk said respectfully.
Yushan Kazuto nodded and watched the store
The waiter walked out of the private room and then returned to his seat.
"Golden potato grid? Don't athletes need to maintain a healthy diet?" asked Mai Sakurajima.
“For me, it’s all about healthy eating,” Hayama Kazuto shrugged.
Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but smile, which made Yushan Kazuto blink slightly. This smile explained what it meant to be able to fall in love with a city at a glance.
"Have you noticed any difference now?" asked Sakurajima Mai with a smile.
"Your presence has changed." Yushan Kazuto said with a wink.
"You're right. I think I can give you a waffle as a reward." said Mai Sakurajima.
"A single-serving waffle, maybe only one in total." Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but grin and politely declined Sakurajima Mai's kindness. Anyway, he didn't like eating waffles.
"Can you tell me why?" Staring at Sakurajima Mai, Yushan Kazuto asked.
"Actually, I don't know the reason, but I can tell you the origin of this situation." said Sakurajima Mai.
Yushan Kazuto nodded, looking as if he was listening attentively.
"After I stopped performing, my life became much freer. Since it was difficult for others to notice my existence, I would look for things to entertain myself."
Yushan Kazuto blinked. Speaking of entertaining oneself, why did the images in his mind seem unhealthy?
Mai Sakurajima didn't notice the change in Yushan Kazuto's gaze, and just quietly explained her own experience.
"One afternoon, I was watching a live broadcast of a famous painting up-master on Niconico, but he suddenly stopped painting and said he was going to watch a football match and would continue the live broadcast after the game was over."
Chapter 1265 Diseases and Specific Medicines
"I was planning to change the channel, but many people in the comments urged the up master to continue the live broadcast. They were willing to watch it even if it was a football live broadcast."
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. Is this the level of acceptance of fans? They have jumped directly from art to sports!
"In the end, the up host did not end the broadcast and chose to continue the live broadcast. I did not switch to other live broadcasts. They were just killing time anyway." Sakurajima Mai continued.
"And then you saw my game?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink.
He knew that there had been live broadcasts of Toyosaki's games on Niconico, and that there were more than one or two live broadcast rooms, but he didn't expect that anyone would actually watch it.
"Well, you scored four goals, and one of them was a pretty cool overhead kick." said Mai Sakurajima.
Yushan Kazuto grinned. With such a rough description, he couldn't remember which game it was!
If it were any other player, a game in which they scored four goals in one match would definitely be remembered, especially one that included an overhead kick, which was almost imminent.
But for Yushan Kazuto, scoring four goals in a row is a common occurrence, and he can also score one or two through hooks every now and then. If he were to recall which game it was, he really couldn't remember.
"So...can I ask you a little bit, what is the name of the host of the live broadcast?" Yushan Heren asked.
"Her ID is Miss Anaconda. I don't know the rest of her information. She never shows her face." said Mai Sakurajima.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. He had no impression of Miss Anaconda.
However, combined with what Sakurajima Mai said, the other party is a painting up-loader and should be related to the art club.
The "森" in Miss Anaconda's name makes people think of something. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Yoko Morioka.
"Have you guessed the other person's identity?" asked Mai Sakurajima.
Judging from Yushan Kazuto's expression, he seemed to have guessed the identity of the up master.
"Well, it might be a friend I know, but I'm not 100% sure." Yushan Heren said.
There are so many people in the art department, including a group of fierce senior students. Although Morioka Yoko is the most likely candidate, Yushan Kazuto cannot rule out other possibilities!
"Then I'll continue." Seeing that Yushan Kazuto didn't seem to have any intention of revealing the other party's identity, Sakurajima Mai said.
Hayama Kazuto nodded and looked at Sakurajima Mai.
"After watching the football game, it was already past five in the afternoon, and it was almost time for dinner."
"But the refrigerator at home is a little empty. There's not even any eggs. I have no choice but to go out and buy food."
Yushan Kazuto blinked, and a picture seemed to appear in his mind.
"At first, there was nothing unusual, but when I was going home after buying bread, I saw an acquaintance - the mountain-dwelling grandmother who lived next door to me."
"It seems that Grandma Shanzhu just came back from playing mahjong at her friend's house. I wanted to avoid her for a while, but I didn't expect that she actually saw me."
"I still remember what she said to me: Bread again? You Sakurajima family really have a tradition of eating bread!"
"Then without further ado, he took me home and cooked me dinner."
Speaking of this, a hint of tenderness appeared in Mai Sakurajima's eyes.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. From Sakurajima Mai's expression, it could be seen that the other party seemed to be hiding some deeper information. Combined with what Sakurajima Mai said about Grandma Yamazumi, he seemed to be able to guess something.
Mai Sakurajima did not go into detail about that dinner, but she will always remember the bonito rice bowl and the taste of the bowl of miso soup.
She also could not forget a clip that was replaying on her grandmother Yamazumi's TV. It was the scene when Mai Sakurajima first participated in a TV drama.
Although the appearance time was not long, only a few minutes, it was able to leave a deep impression on people.
That's where Mai Sakurajima's career as a child star began.
"Although it feels a little unbelievable, my mind tells me that I seem to have regained my previous sense of existence."
Mai Sakurajima paused, as if she didn't know how to put it, and finally chose the "sense of presence" that Kazuto Yuyama had mentioned before.
However, Yushan Kazuto felt something strange. It seemed that the situation of Sakurajima Mai could not be summarized by the word "presence".
“I went to school the next day and that confirmed it. My classmates started to notice me and the teacher no longer ignored me.”
As for the fact that she was called on by the teacher seven times in class throughout the day but failed to answer a single question, Mai Sakurajima felt that there was no need to say more.
"But this situation didn't last long. After only two or three days, everything returned to normal."
"I began to look for the reason that suddenly made me regain my sense of existence. Live broadcast, painting, football match, the result I finally got was rather absurd." Sakurajima Mai looked at Yushan Kazuto with a wry smile.
"Is it because you watched me play football that you regained your sense of existence?" Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly.
Mai Sakurajima nodded. Although it sounded absurd, it was the truth.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but grin. He didn't expect that he could have such an effect.
Although idols have great power in the football world, it is not uncommon for some fans to be awakened by their idols after falling into a deep coma or becoming a vegetable.
But in the case of Sakurajima Mai, Hayama Kazuto is really
Never heard of and never seen before.
If she hadn't demonstrated it to him in advance, Yushan Heren would not have believed it.
Sakurajima Mai wanted to continue speaking, but there was a knock on the door, and Yushan Kazuto said, "Come in."
The waiter brought in the snacks, placed them on the table, and then left again.
Although it was just a single-serving waffle, there were three small pieces. Sakurajima Mai placed one piece next to the potato grid of Hayama Kazuto and began to taste it.
Yushan Kazuto also picked up a piece of potato grid and tasted it. It had a gourmet flavor and a crispy texture and was quite delicious.
"So, if your lack of sense of existence is regarded as a disease? Then these videos of me playing football are your panacea?" After pondering for a long time, Yushan Heren couldn't help but ask.
"You can describe it that way." Sakurajima Mai said.
Yushan Heren grinned. This matter was a little beyond his knowledge.
"So, your comeback as the manager spokesperson for the National Collegiate Men's Soccer League has something to do with me?"
"There is a certain relationship." Mai Sakurajima did not deny it, but the identity of the manager spokesperson of the National College Men's Soccer League is actually a good resource, which is also related to Mai Sakurajima's comeback plan.
Chapter 1266 Drug Resistance
"So? I'm still a little confused about why you wanted to meet me." Yushan Heren said.
There's no way I can help Mai Sakurajima regain her sense of existence. There's no need to meet in person if it can be solved by watching a video, right?
Mai Sakurajima originally thought that Kazuto Hayama was the key to solving the problem, but it turned out that after meeting Kazuto Hayama, Mai Sakurajima did not immediately regain her sense of existence, which shattered her expectations.
Seeing that Sakurajima Mai was a little hesitant and seemed nervous, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask, "Is... the effect getting worse?"
Sakurajima Mai looked at Hayama Kazuto, and she didn't expect that Hayama Kazuto had guessed it right with just one sentence, so she could only nod.
Generally speaking, even in medicine, using medication too frequently will lead to drug resistance, let alone the strange situation of Mai Sakurajima.
"Before, watching a video could keep me alert for two to three hours. If I watched a live football game, well... the effect could last for more than twelve hours. But now there has been a significant decline." said Mai Sakurajima.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. Just by listening to Sakurajima Mai's description, he didn't know to what extent the power had declined.
"Just like how taking a drug too much will lead to drug resistance, if there is no cure, I'm afraid it will be difficult to avoid such things from happening." Yushan Herendao.
