Chapter 58

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

There was no reaction.

She noticed someone queuing behind her, so she immediately tried again.

The result was still the same; placing the transportation card on the sensor area still had no reaction.

"Could it be that this gate is broken? You should try another one,"

Kitakami Yoru was watching from behind, and seeing Sakurajima Mai fail several times, he stepped out and kindly reminded her.

Changing to the one on the side, Kitakami Yoru swiped his own card.

"Ding---" came a sound.

The sensor area issued a reminder, indicating passage.

Kitakami Yoru walked directly through the gate from beside Sakurajima Mai, and even glanced at her while he was at it.

Huh?

Is it her?

Dyed her hair silver-gray.

Kitakami Yoru saw Sakurajima Mai's profile and recognized from her brows that the two had met by chance at a bakery before.

But he felt that he had seen her before that.

"Do I know her?"

Kitakami Yoru couldn't help but slow down his pace, frowning slightly as he recalled.

Sakurajima Mai, hearing this, also changed to the gate Kitakami Yoru had passed through and placed her transportation card on it.

There was still no reaction.

"How could this be? Is my card broken?"

Although Sakurajima Mai didn't use public transportation often, her card was kept well, and it was impossible for it to have no money.

Besides, you only get a balance-insufficient prompt when exiting the station; now she was entering.

There were very few people at the station at this time, so Sakurajima Mai changed to another gate and tried again.

"Looks like it's really broken, I'll buy a ticket," Sakurajima Mai looked up and sighed, revealing a delicate girl's face.

This beauty was not at all inferior to Kasumigaoka Utaha, it's just that her figure wasn't that erotic.

"It's you?"

Sakurajima Mai then recognized Kitakami Yoru; his obese physique really left a deep impression on her.

"It's me, that..."

"Except for that time at the bakery, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before," Kitakami Yoru didn't leave because of this.

"Hey, did you recognize me?"

The next second, Sakurajima Mai smiled without any surprise and said something that made Kitakami Yoru feel inexplicable.

Afterward, Kitakami Yoru, who hadn't reacted from this sentence, watched Sakurajima Mai take out an autographed photo from her personal backpack and hand it to Kitakami Yoru.

Kitakami Yoru: "???"

What is this for?

Kitakami Yoru's question hadn't even left his mouth.

"Take it, my autograph~"

Sakurajima Mai shook the autographed photo in her hand.

The photo was her image in a drama.

Kitakami Yoru took it subconsciously, looked at the autographed photo, then looked at Sakurajima Mai, his expression strange.

Sakurajima Mai thought Kitakami Yoru was too excited to see her, and a hint of faint pleasure arose in her.

"That... sumimasen, may I ask who you are?"

Kitakami Yoru suddenly spoke, breaking Sakurajima Mai's pleasure.

"What is this?"

Sakurajima Mai was slightly stunned, feeling shocked while also feeling unhappy and a bit shy.

Not a fan of mine?!

"Sakurajima Mai?"

Kitakami Yoru looked at Sakurajima Mai's reaction, glanced at the autographed photo she gave him, and muttered the name on it.

"Right, I am Sakurajima Mai!"

Sakurajima Mai was indeed a child star actor, having debuted since she was young, with outstanding acting skills, and immediately controlled her expression.

Kitakami Yoru racked his brains to recall, his eyes gradually widening: "I remember you now, I've seen the works you've acted in, so you're a star!"

"Hmph hmph."

Sakurajima Mai secretly hummed, finally saving her face, and walked toward the ticket machine on the side.

"Thank you."

Kitakami Yoru thanked her and remembered the name.

So she's a star?

No wonder he felt Sakurajima Mai looked familiar; it turned out he had seen the TV series she acted in.

However, is this a has-been star?

At school and online, why isn't there much discussion about her, and she isn't famous?

Kitakami Yoru smiled, then he put away this autographed photo and walked to the platform.

On the other side, Sakurajima Mai put a paper bill into the ticket machine, but the money was swallowed directly!

"What's going on?"

Sakurajima Mai was dumbfounded, patted the ticket machine, and clicked the buttons on it frantically.

This machine couldn't be broken; the person queuing before her had just used it to buy a ticket.

"No... impossible..."

Sakurajima Mai kept clicking the refresh and reset buttons on the ticket machine, her expression slightly angry and irritable.

After trying for a good while, having tried every method, there was still no reaction.

Sakurajima Mai turned around dejectedly to find the station staff.

For the past month, she had been so unlucky, always encountering various different small troubles that made her mentally agitated.

Sakurajima Mai, in a bad mood, came to the station service desk and found the staff.

"Hello, my money was swallowed by the ticket machine."

Sakurajima Mai said.

The staff didn't react.

"Hello, my money was swallowed by the ticket machine!"

Sakurajima Mai suddenly became a bit angry and increased her volume.

The staff was looking at the computer working, still without any reaction, not even raising their head.

"Is this your station's service attitude? I want to complain about you!"

Sakurajima Mai had no choice but to get angry, constantly using her shoes to lightly tap the ground to express her anger.

"Dadada~"

The staff tapped the keyboard, making a sound.

Sakurajima Mai suddenly doubted life; am I invisible?

Afterward, with an unwilling and angry face, she reached into the small window and poked the staff's wrist with her finger.

Touching each other, the staff reacted as if they had seen a ghost!

"Why is it like this again?"

Sakurajima Mai saw the other party's expression and locked her brows.

On the other side.

It was about 6:30.

Kitakami Yoru didn't go home, but took the train to a shopping plaza in Minato Ward and found Gabriel.

"I didn't come late, did I, Gabriel?" Kitakami Yoru asked.

"No, let's eat dinner first, then go shopping," Gabriel wasn't very anxious either. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
