for Advance Chapter
In the morning, Mai and Sakuta Azusagawa woke up early.
Even if they rushed back to Fujisawa City now, they probably wouldn't be able to catch the morning classes, but Mai still suggested getting up early and decided to go back to school in the afternoon.
Walking out of the Ogaki station gate with Mai and strolling on the pedestrian-filled street, Azusagawa Sakuta sighed helplessly.
Although I haven't reached the point of despair, my mood is becoming increasingly heavy.
Even after a night, no one could see Mai Sakurajima except him.
Seeing her trying to tease the puppy but being ignored, Mai's face showed a hint of disappointment. Although he wanted to comfort her, he felt that it was inappropriate. She looked mature and strong on the outside, but was sensitive and delicate on the inside. If he said "Are you okay?" at this time, he would surely be glared at by her, and maybe even make her angry.
After returning to school in the afternoon, I said goodbye to Mai at the stairs. I happened to meet Futaba Rio, a serious-looking friend of Sakuta, at the corner. She had regular features and exuded a rational charm. She joined the Science Club, which had only one member. She always wore a white robe and was a well-known weirdo.
Realizing that Futaba has something to say to him, Sakuta follows her to the Science Club.
Futaba stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, staring at the swirling vortex and said slowly:
"I have an idea, did you sleep last night?"
"Not asleep at all."
"I didn't fall asleep at all. Although this is just a result, I think this is the reason."
Sakuta immediately perked up and looked up to ask:
"Um...does that mean you didn't sleep?"
"Remember the observation theory I told you about before?"
"Schrödinger's cat?"
"To be honest, even though I feel stupid, it's a bit chilling to actually experience it."
"For puberty syndrome?"
In response, Futaba decisively denied Sakuta's guess.
"No... before the puberty syndrome started, she was already being treated like air in school. I also learned to read people's expressions, and everyone unconsciously turned a blind eye to Sakurajima-senpai's abnormal state, and no one expressed any doubts and accepted it."
"Rather, it's because I have no doubts that I can do it."
"But I think the breakthrough lies in the 'air' of this school. Sakurajima-senpai is not noticed by anyone in the school, so her existence cannot be confirmed. For Sakurajima-senpai, this school itself is the box that the cat is in. The inability of a person's consciousness to sleep on its own becomes an opportunity for memory loss. I am more accepting of this point of view."
Hearing this, Sakuta suddenly had an idea:
"That means..." After receiving Futaba's affirmative look, Sakuta's pupils shrank, and he suppressed his fear and muttered:
"If I had fallen asleep last night, I would have been..."
The next moment, Sakuta made up his mind not to fall asleep for the next few days.
Afterwards, Sakuta asked Futaba all sorts of questions. Although the science club's discussion was quiet, if someone approached the door outside and listened carefully, they would still be able to hear every word.
Unfortunately, Sakurajima Mai was that person. She had originally intended to report the class situation to Sakuta, but she ended up hearing the despairing truth.
Mai didn't knock on the door, but just endured the grief and fled from that place.
I don't want to forget Mai, I don't want to forget every little thing I had with her, I don't want to forget the throbbing in my heart for her…
He, Azusagawa Sakuta, could not imagine what the world would be like without Sakurajima Mai. He was anxious and panicked. When he thought that even he had forgotten Mai's existence, leaving Mai alone in this ruthless world, a trembling emotion suddenly surged in his heart, and he was moved to extreme fear.
However, even if he has to be the enemy of the world and the 'air', he must snatch Sakurajima Mai's existence back from them.
To achieve this, he cannot fall asleep and must stay awake at all times until he comes up with a solution.
To this end, every night Sakuta would go to a convenience store near his home to buy functional drinks that could refresh and relieve fatigue.
Time passed by little by little, and Sakuta's current mental state was very bad.
After learning that Futaba 'accidentally' fell asleep and forgot about Mai's existence, he became even more anxious, and even for a second he felt extremely tormented.
Mai was also keenly aware of his depressed mental state.
After the second day of the midterm exam, Mai was wearing a blue and white sweater and dark blue tight jeans to keep warm, waiting near a convenience store at night, and 'coincidentally' met Azusagawa Sakuta who was carrying a bag and was about to go home.
Under her reproachful gaze, she brought Sakuta, who had dark circles under his eyes, to his home.
Sakuta Azusagawa's Room
"Come and sit down quickly. Tomorrow is the last day of the exam. I will help you review."
"If I could wear a bunny girl's outfit, I would work hard." Sakuta forced himself to say some dirty talk, trying to tease his cute senior.
Obviously, Mai knew his routine very well and responded calmly:
"If that happens, Sakuta's mind will be filled with lewd thoughts and he won't be able to study."
"That's a blind spot."
"If you can get 100 points on the test, I will give you a reward."
"Does that mean you can do anything?"
"Even though I can do everything, I can't really do anything."
"Then give in and take a bath together."
"That won't work."
"How about we go to Kamakura to make up for the date we missed last time?"
"That's fine with me, but is that really all that's going to work?"
"It seems that Mai wants to make a more radical request?"
"I didn't say anything like that."
Mai pinched Sakuta's cheek pretending to be angry, and urged him to review his Chinese knowledge points while Sakuta looked very happy.
During the discussion, the two had an interesting discussion on the different grammatical meanings of 'guarantee' and 'protect'.
After the review came to an end, they took a break. Mai borrowed the kitchen of Sakuta's house and made two cups of refreshing coffee for the two of them.
Without realizing it, Sakuta drank the cup of coffee in which Mai had put sleeping pills.
"I can't fall asleep yet..."
"Sakuta has tried very hard. He has tried very hard for me."
"No, that's not enough..."
"So that's enough. That's enough."
"no…"
"I'm alone, so I'm fine. It's just that Sakuta forgot about me, so it's okay. Even so, thank you so much for always being here. And I'm sorry."
Fragmented words rang in his ears, and before the last sentence was finished, Sakuta, under the influence of the drugs, fell asleep on the table exhausted.
"Good night, Sakuta. Farewell."
It's so painful to have dark thoughts in my heart.
Even so, Mai still smiled happily.
Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes bravely, she decided to go home and take a nap, and then come to Sakuta early tomorrow morning to wait for him to wake up.
Even if she is the only one left in the world, Sakurajima Mai will stay by Azusagawa Sakuta's side.
"Call... Sakuta..."
Leaving the apartment where Sakuta was, Mai took a deep breath of fresh air and encouraged herself to cheer up.
"Hey, isn't this Mai-chan?"
"...!?"
Mai stared blankly at the figure in front of her. She didn't expect that there were still people wandering around the streets late at night.
How come they are here?
"Ye, who are you talking to? Mai? Who is that? Could it be those bitches who used to pick up on you on the street?"
Mai was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw Asuna so angry.
As early as the day before yesterday, when Mai returned to the classroom, she found that Asuna could no longer see her.
But what she never expected was that this evil ghost still remembered her. Did he not sleep all the time? Just when she was puzzled, the bad-tempered man kissed Asuna without hesitation, and after having a good time on the girl's buttocks, he explained:
"Don't let your imagination run wild. You go ahead. I have something to take care of. I'll catch up with you soon."
"Hmph...Okay, hurry up."
Asuna looked around suspiciously, but when she saw that there was no one around, she gave up the search and started walking.
After Asuna walked away, Suye approached Sakurajima Mai, who looked alert, with a smile on his face.
"I've recently discovered that, except for your cute junior, everyone else in the school ignores you. Could it be that interesting phenomenon has happened again?"
"What do you care! Get out of the way!" Mai crossed his arms and glared at Su Ye, not giving him a good look at all.
Perhaps because she was afraid of his pestering her, Mai didn't want to stay here any longer and pretended to walk past him calmly.
"Woo!" However, just as the two people passed each other, Mai's arm was grabbed forcefully by someone. Due to inertia, Mai screamed and staggered into a man's arms.
Su Ye took the opportunity to hold the girl's slender waist tightly and restrain her movements.
"You, you you! What do you want to do! Let me go! You damn scum, devil!"
"Someone, come, call the police, wuwu… No! Help! Come quickly… wuwu… Sakuta!"
Mai's screams were particularly harsh in the quiet street. She felt even more frightened when she found that pedestrians on the roadside could not hear her cries for help at all.
Driven by physical instinct, he beat Su Ye's chest with his hands and slapped him several times.
"Give up, Mai, it's useless." Su Ye was not moved at all, as if he had an expression that had determined her. In Mai's pupils, the man's figure seemed a little hideous, and there was a cruel smile on his face.
"No... Damn it!!!" Mai's body trembled, and with a look of disgust, she put her hands on Su Ye's chest, trying to distance themselves from each other.
Unfortunately, their strengths were totally different. To vent her anger, Mai tried to scratch the other's face with her sharp nails. However, the strange thing was that the demon's face was extremely rough and thick, and no matter how she scratched it, there was no scratch.
"Go to hell, die, die, die, die…!" Mai tried to poke the other person's eyes again, but unexpectedly, Su Ye closed his eyes, grabbed her two wrists with his left hand and twisted them behind her back.
Su Ye looked at the pale-faced Sakurajima Mai, slowly moved his face towards the black hair beside Mai's ear, and giving full play to his pervert instinct, took a deep sniff in ecstasy.
"Ma Yi smells so good. But if you keep being so naughty, I might not be able to help but do something to you."
"You, you dare!!"
"If you don't believe me, I'll try it now."
After saying that, Suye raised his hand and began to unbutton the first button of his linen sweater.
At this time, Mai's body began to tremble, and she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Until the second and third buttons were unbuttoned, because her arms were restrained by Suoye, Mai could only shout with a trembling voice:
"…No! Stop!"
"Then beg me." Suo Ye showed a cunning smile as if his conspiracy had succeeded, which made Mai stomped her feet on the ground in anger.
There was no other way. The situation was weaker than she was. Plus, she had a body that was so weak that no one would hear her cries. Mai could only endure the humiliation and said sadly:
"Please...please."
Su Ye stopped and looked at the frightened beautiful face in front of him with great interest.
"Since it's my favorite Mai-chan's request, I will definitely agree to it, but you have to be good. Can you be quiet and not move?"
"…Okay!" Seeing that things were turning around, Mai breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.
After seeing her nod, Su Ye freed her hands, put his left hand around her waist, and stroked her long black hair with his right hand.
For a moment, Mai had the thought of running away, but when she thought of the physical strength gap between the two sides, she quickly suppressed this impulse.
"Mai Makoto."
"..."
The man's disgusting laughter rang in her ears, and Mai felt very resistant. If she was afraid of being retaliated by this man afterwards, Mai really wanted to cripple this scum's genitals with one knee to let him know the terrible consequences of molesting women.
"That's enough, let me go."
"No, a little longer. I want to feel Mai's warmth a little longer."
"Despicable! Don't!"
In the end, Mai was a step too slow. Not only did she fail to stop Suye's evil deeds, but she also let him touch her chest.
"Is Mai the type who looks thin in clothes? She has an unexpectedly good figure and a nice chest. Although I've seen it before in the equipment room, it's still surprising."
"Asshole! Didn't you say you were going to stop? Stop being so shameless!"
"I only promised not to take off your clothes, but I didn't promise not to touch your body. So, if you refuse my touch, I will take off your clothes right here and then have sex with you, hehe!"
Suo Ye climbed onto Mai's plump breasts with his right hand through her sweater and bra, admiring the girl's gritting teeth while playing with her breasts wantonly.
"Don't be so greedy! Damn it, damn it, damn it! This is too much, oooo…!"
If she really angered this man, given his character, he would most likely abuse her, and she would not be able to afford such a price.
Thinking of this, Mai didn't dare to resist at all. She pursed her lips angrily, tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.
"Oh~ Your breasts are so soft."
"...Are you still a man? Or is your heart made of iron? You can remain indifferent when seeing a girl crying. Scum! A social scum! Why don't you just die!"
"I've been gentle enough, Mai. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as touching your breasts through your clothes."
Su Ye tried to calm the girl down and hugged her tighter. Mai just struggled slightly and then gave up and let him do what he wanted.
After noticing the change in Mai's mentality, Suye smiled. This method of constantly lowering the psychological defense limit of girls is really effective.
He lowered his head and pretended to kiss the other person's cheek, but when Mai just glared at him, he looked away. Did this mean he was allowing his rude behavior?
Su Ye happily leaned towards Mai's cheek and gave her a stamp of approval for her good behavior.
"Mai, tell me, what is your situation now?"
"What do you mean?" Mai asked with a frown.
"That is, how far have you come to this abnormal state of not being seen by others?"
Although she didn't understand the intention of Suye's words, Mai still told him everything.
"Except for you and him, no one else is aware of my existence."
"Him? Is it your incompetent junior, Sakuta Azusagawa?"
"I'm warning you! Don't say bad things about Sakuta! Even if I have to scold him, it can only be me. You don't have the right to do so."
As if lying, Mai swept away the dejected look, raised her head and glared at him fiercely, showing a ferocious look as if she wanted to eat him.
This desire to protect an important person is so dazzling. Even Su Ye is a little jealous. Even so, Su Ye still can't help wanting to hit the other party.
"Tsk tsk. Incompetent is incompetent, and trash is trash. Mai, I'm not saying anything mean, but as long as your abnormal condition is not resolved, your cute junior may forget you at any time, and then meet a new lover while you are crying in despair. Oh, it's interesting to think about it."
"You, you are talking nonsense! It's inexplicable, impossible, Sakuta, he can't have forgotten me, it's impossible..."
"Oh? Then I'll look forward to it a little. I really want to see how you fall into the abyss after being abandoned by the person you like. It will definitely be interesting."
Su Ye smiled grimly.
He stopped his indecent acts against Mai, untied her restraints, ignored the bewildered Mai, and quickly left.
