Chapter 546

At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes could not hide her panicked expression.

"It's not your problem."

"Hmm?"

This definitive answer made Yukinoshita pause.

"It's possible that she is the one with the problem."

Puberty Syndrome? Or is it... a drawback of her superpower?

Sakurajima Mai's current situation could indeed be linked to invisibility.

Lin Ye could not be sure; he needed to see the person himself. The next second, he reached out to take his phone and dialed Hoshino Ai's number.

If Hoshino Ai had also forgotten Sakurajima Mai, it could basically be confirmed that the problem was on Sakurajima Mai's side.

"I'm making a call."

Lin Ye greeted Yukinoshita Yukino, stood up, and walked to the balcony by the living room.

Outside the window, neon lights decorated the charming night view of Chiba City.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep..."

Lin Ye waited.

A few seconds later,

The call connected.

"Lin-kun."

The tone was slightly resentful.

Hoshino Ai had actually long since forgiven Lin Ye. It wasn't unacceptable that Lin Ye didn't immediately think of the origin of the 'nickname', but as a girl, she still needed to be cared for and comforted.

But Lin Ye only made one call, sent one message, and then... that was it.

She felt terrible!

Waiting until now, nearly two hours had passed, and she had been enduring the fatigue and sleepiness until now.

Now, Lin Ye's second call finally came; Hoshino Ai even wanted to cry.

"Sorry about the nickname thing."

"Actually, it's nothing. I also have problems; I can't blame Lin-kun for not thinking of it."

Hoshino Ai's mouth curled into an uncontrollable arc.

Lin-kun really did care about her feelings; knowing this was enough for her.

"There is one thing I need to ask you."

"Hmm, go ahead! I will definitely answer you."

"I remember you have Sakurajima Mai's contact number. Can you give it to me?"

"Who?"

As expected,

Hoshino Ai had also forgotten Sakurajima Mai.

"Sakurajima Mai. I remember you added Sakurajima Mai's Line contact number."

"That..."

Hoshino Ai hesitated, her eyes filled with confusion. "Who is Sakurajima Mai? Lin-kun, I don't think I know her."

If it were possible for Yukinoshita Yukino to be joking with him, then it was absolutely impossible for Hoshino Ai to be joking with him.

Hoshino Ai had also forgotten Sakurajima Mai.

Sure enough, something had happened on Sakurajima Mai's side.

"Log in to Line now and search for Sakurajima Mai to see if you have her contact."

Lin Ye told Hoshino Ai the Chinese characters.

Hoshino Ai kept the call connected, opened the app with skepticism, went to the search interface, and entered the characters, but there were no results.

She tried a few other search terms, such as 'Mai' or 'Sakurajima', but there were no results at all.

"Lin-kun, I can't find her."

Lin Ye then told Hoshino Ai the time they added each other as friends and asked her to search, but there were still no results.

He did not believe Hoshino Ai would deliberately deceive him.

Therefore, the result was either that the contact number had been deleted or it had disappeared.

And compared to the former, Lin Ye believed it was the latter.

"Her sense of existence has already dropped to the point where she no longer appears in people's memories, and the contact information of people in her relationship network has also been affected, so..."

Will the information records still existing on the current network also slowly disappear?

From conscious memory to real material records, everything is disappearing.

When all records about her disappear completely, does it mean that this girl, Sakurajima Mai, has never appeared in this world?

Can the drawback of invisibility reach this level?

It really is possible.

His superpower has never followed any rules.

God knows what the drawback of this invisibility is.

Lin Ye fell into deep thought.

"Lin-kun, Lin-kun, are you listening?"

Hoshino Ai's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is this girl named Sakurajima Mai very important to you?"

The girl with purple hair wanted to say 'do you like her', but after thinking about it, she didn't ask. If that were the case, she would be too unhappy to sleep tonight. It would be better not to ask and pretend not to know than to add a rival for no reason.

"..."

This question stumped Lin Ye.

Is Sakurajima Mai important to him?

Strictly speaking, his fondness for Sakurajima Mai came from liking the original work. After crossing into the two-dimensional world, he had only spent yesterday with her. They had communicated, eaten together, and watched Hoshino Ai's concert, but he couldn't really say how deep their feelings were.

"Not really, at least not right now, but I need to do something. Her current dire situation is very likely related to me."

Since the drawback of invisibility caused Sakurajima Mai's current disappearance,

Lin Ye decided to take responsibility for it and provide help to the girl in trouble.

At least let that girl safely pass these seven days. Once the week passes, the invisibility superpower will refresh, the drawback will disappear, and the girl will be able to return to her normal life.

He remembered the plot in the original work where Sakurajima Mai could not be observed by others after her sense of existence disappeared—the girl would rather starve than pick up food and water from convenience stores or supermarkets.

"I, I will help too..."

Hoshino Ai said immediately upon hearing this.

"No need, I can handle it alone. You should get some good rest!"

Even if Hoshino Ai wanted to help, she couldn't. Since she couldn't see Sakurajima Mai, what help could she provide?

"Oh! Then if there's anything I can do, Lin-kun, tell me immediately."

"Hmm."

"Lin-kun, get some rest early."

"I will. You too, good night."

"Good night."

The call ended.

Lin Ye turned to look at the black-haired girl sitting on the sofa.

At this moment, the girl was browsing the data and images on her phone. She had heard most of what Lin Ye said during the call, just not the content from the girl on the other end.

But through Lin Ye's words, she also knew one thing: the one with the problem was Sakurajima Mai, not her.

This fact made her feel relieved, but also inevitably guilty.

Facing the misfortune of another girl, was her feeling of relief really appropriate?

"It's Sakurajima Mai who has the problem."

"Hmm."

She hummed, her dark blue eyes slowly meeting Lin Ye's gaze. "Are you going to find her?"

"Hmm, it's related to me after all, I have to do something."

Regarding this, Yukinoshita Yukino could not object, and she had never thought of objecting to this matter. ===== CHAPTER 547 =====
