Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1607 Plan K (I have to go out to see grandma again tomorrow)

After that, Duanmuhuai continued to experiment for the next few days to let others perceive Mai Sakurajima, including asking Mai Sakurajima to sing in front of the station, or shout loudly, perform, or lead Mai Sakurajima to do some confusion. move.

But unfortunately it was of no use.

"...Tomorrow is the time for script reading."

Until the night before the "Today Sweetness" crew assembled, there was no change in Mai Sakurajima - or in other words, the situation was getting worse.

"If you continue like this, you might become a friend that only I can see."

"…………"

Mai Sakurajima didn't speak, she just sat there quietly, expressionless. However, after a few days of getting along, Duanmuhuai already knew that Mai Sakurajima was not really expressionless. She was just used to using this method to block her inner emotions and not show them easily to outsiders.

This is completely opposite to Arima Kana, whose emotions are very distinct.

It's even a bit too bright.

"Okay, actually I'm not totally helpless."

"What can I do?"

Mai Sakurajima raised her head slightly and looked at Duanmuhuai.

"If it's to pray to God and worship Buddha, we must have gone to some shrines these days."

"It's almost the same, except..."

Duanmuhuai touched his chin and showed a strange smile.

"The question is whether you can agree to it."

"?"

At this time, Mai Sakurajima still didn't know what kind of future awaited her.

Soon, the night passed.

Early the next morning, Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai took a car to the location of the crew. However, just like before, even if they walked into the filming location where the crew was, no one could see Mai Sakurajima.

"The next step is to say hello. This is the last chance."

Entering the hall, Duanmuhuai turned to look at Mai Sakurajima.

"So, you want to try?"

"………………"

At this moment, Sakurajima Mai was also silent and her face was tense, but unlike before, she had a bit of a blush on her face.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"I promise... it's useless. After all, I have never encountered such a situation. In the final analysis, this is just a conjecture. It is the same conjecture as the one that asked you to dance in front of the subway station. Can it achieve the goal? It’s hard to say.”

"......I understand, let's go."

At this moment, Sakurajima Mai finally seemed to have made a decision. She turned her head and strode forward without looking back, while Duanmu Huai shook her head and followed behind her. The two came to the stall of the nearby bathroom and walked in. Then Mai Sakurajima sat down and stared at Duanmu Huai.

"If you lie to me, I will beat you."

"To me, it doesn't seem to be a big loss in a strict sense."

Looking at the pretty red-faced Mai Sakurajima, Duanmuhuai couldn't help but chuckle, remembering the conversation between the two last night.

"The question is whether you can agree to it."

"?"

Mai Sakurajima frowned.

"You tell me first, and then I decide."

"Okay, let's kiss."

"...Huh?"

Sakurajima Mai's face clearly showed an expression of astonishment.

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean, kissing, KISS, you are also an actor, so you don't even know this."

"Of course I know this, but why do I want to kiss you!?"

"It's very simple."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"You should know that I have the ability to control my breath."

"I know, it feels like a superpower."

After following Duanmu Huai around outside for the past two days, Sakurajima Mai naturally took Duanmu Huai's ability seriously. Unlike Sakurajima Mai, who couldn't control herself, Duanmu Huai was really able to send and receive messages freely and didn't want to let others know. When you see it, you will never let others see it. When you want others to see it, let others see it... I have to say that Sakurajima Mai is a little envious of Duanmu Huai's magical ability.

"To put it bluntly, this ability is actually equivalent to weakening one's sense of existence. Your symptoms are very similar to this, except that you can't control yourself, so... it's very simple, if you cannot be observed because of your lack of sense of existence Then just increase your presence.”

"What should I do? I have listened to you these past few days. I have tried many times in a row. I have worn bunny girls, nurses, and puppet costumes...but it has all been useless."

Speaking of this, Mai Sakurajima was also a little depressed. In order to restore her sense of existence, she tried every method. I even tried the funny method Duanmuhuai said, but unfortunately it was of no use.

"So external stimulation is of no use, we have to consider the inside."

"Inside?"

"I can try to convey my sense of presence to you, just like a blood transfusion. Look, don't people with ischemia get better after a blood transfusion? So I think this is also a way."

"But... why do you want to kiss?"

"It would be smoother if there was physical contact."

"Dirty!"

"Actually, I would rather connect you with Mai through the lower part. Unfortunately, I don't have any tools, so I'm really disappointed."

"...This is totally not what you should say with your face."

Hearing what Duanmu Huai said so straightforwardly, Sakurajima Mai was speechless.

"So? What's your decision?"

"...Let me think about it."

At that time, Mai Sakurajima was silent for a long time before finally speaking.

And now it seems that she has made her decision.

"If that doesn't work, I'm going to slap you hard."

"That's it."

"By the way, since you're a girl too, this doesn't count as your first kiss."

"This is really a convenient definition. Do girls use it this way?" "Also..."

Mai Sakurajima wanted to say something more, but Duanmuhuai was too lazy to listen to her stalling for time. Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, held Mai Sakurajima's cheek, and then completely blocked the latter's chattering lips. .

"————!"

Being suddenly attacked by Duanmuhuai, Sakurajima Mai's eyes widened in surprise. However, the next moment, her expression began to become blurred and scattered, and her originally raised hands dropped.

I don't know how long it took before the two slowly separated. A flash of water appeared between the two, lengthened, and then disappeared.

"Crack!"

Then a loud sound echoed through the toilet cubicle.

“Didn’t you say that you’ll wait until you’re sure it’s useless before you fight?”

Duanmuhuai touched his cheek and complained dissatisfiedly, while Sakurajima Mai looked at him with a blushing face.

"Because you are so skilled, it makes me unhappy. How many girls have you deceived using this method so far?"

"It's just you."

Duanmuhuai didn't lie. There was no need for others to lie.

In fact, if it was just a matter of injecting bodily fluids, Duanmuhuai could also choose to open an opening on himself, and then let Sakurajima Mai **** blood like a vampire. I won't say whether the other party is willing, but at least it will definitely not be like this.

So the question is, why not use Duanmuhuai?

The reason is simple.

For example, in martial arts TV dramas, why does the hero have to take off his clothes when he uses his internal power to heal a woman's wounds, but not when he heals a man's wounds?

The answer is - I advise you not to meddle in other people's business.

"Okay, it's time to go to the venue."

Duanmuhuai opened the toilet stall and walked out. Mai Sakurajima was a little unhappy, but she still followed Duanmuhuai out of the bathroom obediently, and then came to the conference room on the third floor.

The two looked at each other. Sakurajima Mai's expression was still a little nervous, but she didn't say anything. At this moment...

"Ah, Xiao Ai, you are finally here, why did you come?"

Duanmu Huai looked in the direction of the sound, and the first thing he saw was the fire-like dazzling hair and the hat of the same color.

Well, he knew who it was when he saw this.

"Yo, Kana."

Duanmuhuai raised his hand and said hello to Arima Kana.

"I just heard from STAFF that you were here, so I came to find you, but you didn't go to the venue. Where did you go?"

"Just taking a stroll, the time isn't up yet anyway."

"You think this is school, and you have to rush into the classroom at the last minute?"

Arima Ganai raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, stared straight at Duanmu Huai with both eyes, and snorted softly. Then, she moved her eyes to Duanmu Huai's side.

"Speaking of which, who is she?"

"…………"

Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai looked at each other, and the latter walked out and lowered her head to Arima Kana.

"I am Mai Sakurajima, who plays Ryoko. Long time no see, Miss Kana."

"Mai Sakurajima... Sakurajima..."

Hearing Sakurajima Mai's self-introduction, Arima Kana frowned, seeming to be recalling.

"Ah, by the way, it's you. Sorry, I was too busy at the moment and didn't think of it."

"fine."

Sakurajima Mai's expression was very calm, and only Duanmu Huai felt that her right hand holding the corner of her clothes was trembling slightly.

"It's really okay."

After this, everything went smoothly.

Sakurajima Mai successfully participated in the script reading meeting and the subsequent role performance. Basically, the rest of the crew, whether actors or staff, had the same reaction to Sakurajima Mai as Arima Kana. The first reaction was "Who is this lady?" Then after learning the name, it suddenly dawned on her, "Ah, by the way, there is such a person."

In the next few days, Mai Sakurajima's condition gradually improved.

In the beginning, every half a day, her sense of existence would become thinner and unnoticed, so that Duanmuhuai had to be "orally administered" to her three times.

But later, due to Mai Sakurajima's hard work, her presence in the crew gradually strengthened, and the "oral administration" increased from three times a day to twice a day.

Now Mai can even support it until the filming is over.

However, this is not enough.

The final solution Duanmuhuai came up with was to let Sakurajima Mai become famous again through the second season of "Today Sweetness". In this way, the mysterious phenomenon that troubled her might become ineffective because Sakurajima Mai was once again perceived by everyone. .

But the problem is... The heroine of "Konsweet" is not Mai Sakurajima, but Arima Kana.

Moreover, Magana's shining acting skills completely overshadowed Mai Sakurajima's brilliance.

This cannot be said to be Arima Kanae's fault. After all, "Kona Sweet" is the story of the heroine. As a supporting role, Sakurajima Mai will not be beautiful if she takes over the lead.

But it's not completely impossible.

"Next, the filming of episodes 12 to 13 is your key."

Back home, Duanmuhuai turned over the script in the bedroom and said to Sakurajima Mai, who stared at the script with a serious expression and nodded vigorously.

"Today's Sweetness" is a female-led drama, but that doesn't mean there are no stories with supporting characters. Episodes 12 and 13 tell the story between Ryoko played by Mai Sakurajima and the male protagonist played by Duan Muhuai.

Liangzi is the daughter of a good family and a good friend of the heroine. At the beginning of "Today's Sweetness", she was silently supporting the heroine and blessing her relationship with the hero. The plot focusing on her happened when a group of people went on a school trip to ski. At that time, Liangzi accidentally got into an accident, and the hero went to save her, and then the two of them rolled down the cliff together.

At that time, the two stayed in a cabin at the foot of the mountain for one night and were found by the rescue team the next day. It was this night of getting along that made Liangzi secretly fall in love with the male protagonist.

But at the same time, she also knew that the heroine liked the hero and had no intention of fighting for love, and she fell into a painful contradiction. Then Liangzi finally made up his mind to confess his feelings to the male protagonist and bring an end to his confused first love. So she found an excuse to invite the male protagonist out on a date. Just when Liangzi mustered up the courage to explain her feelings to the male protagonist, the male protagonist suddenly fainted, and Liangzi rushed him to the hospital.

It was only then that Liangzi learned from the doctor that the male protagonist was not going to die soon. She wanted to tell the female protagonist about it, but the male protagonist stopped her. Liangzi thought about it and finally agreed to the male protagonist not to tell the female protagonist about this.

What this plot follows is that after the male protagonist left without saying goodbye, the female protagonist became increasingly thinner and despaired of being betrayed again. At this time, Liangzi finally couldn't bear it anymore, told the truth to the heroine, and took the heroine with him to find the hospital where the hero was, and met him for the last time.

It can be said that these two episodes are the starring role of Mai Sakurajima. If she can perform well, she will be able to completely explode her presence.

But once it fails, then...it's hard to say.

Mai Sakurajima's acting skills are fine. If Duan Muhuai is to give a score, she has at least an A level.

But the problem is that in front of her are Arima Kana and Kurokawa Akane, who have excellent acting skills.

Mai Sakurajima must catch up with or even surpass them in order to succeed.

Duanmuhuai can inject a certain sense of presence into her through "oral administration", making her eye-catching. But unfortunately, he can't help with things like acting.

The only one who can save Sakurajima Mai is herself.
