Chapter 252 - Chapter 252: The Reason for Retirement

In the restaurant, Sakurajima Mai finally enjoyed a delicious meal in a normal way after a long time.

After all, she was a decent person. Taking a bento from a convenience store and leaving money on the cashier counter was the most she could do.

As for asking her to sneak into a restaurant's kitchen to mooch off others' meals, she couldn't do such a thing even if she starved to death.

Only "supernatural beings" like Miyauchi Hikage, who could see her, could allow her to enjoy these delicacies now.

During the meal, Sakurajima Mai scanned all seven people at the table.

Following behind Miyauchi Hikage, she confirmed that the special phenomenon on her body hadn't disappeared. Those ordinary people, even the automatic doors in shops, couldn't sense her presence.

But among the seven people in Miyauchi Hikage's group, four could actually see her.

Not to mention Miyauchi Hikage and Yotsuya Miko who found her.

Then there was Shiina Mashiro, who looked as exquisite as a doll and whose skin texture she envied a little.

And Tohru, who looked similarly only fifteen or sixteen years old but had at least a D cup, and was now holding a video camera with a few other girls who couldn't see her to film a food review video.

What frustrated her a little was that these two girls, who could clearly see her, seemed to have never seen her film and television works. They only knew her name was Sakurajima Mai from Miyauchi Hikage, and that she was easily ignored by others due to some physical problems.

Then those two girls nodded to her and never looked her way again.

"Mashiro has studied art since she was a child. Except for painting, she rarely cares about the people around her. Tohru also just came to Japan this month and doesn't like chatting with strangers very much."

While asking Miyauchi Hikari, who was holding the video camera, to adjust the shooting angle so that the camera could simultaneously capture Tohru eating frantically and Shiina Mahiru tasting the food slowly, Miyauchi Hikage explained the situation of these girls to Sakurajima Mai.

"They are not from Jujutsu High, but they can indeed be considered supernatural beings. It's just that they are not very interested in the messy things in the inner world, so they simply stay in the outer world doing what they like. For now, they can be tentatively considered my friends and partners."

"Partners?" Sakurajima Mai looked again at the two girls with completely different eating styles.

Shiina Mashiro was someone who ate slowly and didn't have very good table manners.

While eating, her face easily got stained with rice grains and oil stains. Coupled with her dazed and cute expression, it made people want to hold her in their arms.

Tohru, on the other hand, ate quickly and elegantly.

Even though she looked much more petite than her in all aspects except for her bust, in just ten minutes, she had finished three large bowls and was now challenging the fourth one.

Witnessing the whole process with her own eyes, she felt that other big eaters on the internet who relied on editing and purging to forcibly create their image were simply amateurs in front of this girl.

Facing Sakurajima Mai's doubt, Miyauchi Hikage took out a business card for an assistant of Asahigaoka Media at the right time.

Although he was the actual creator of Asahigaoka Media and the Miyauchi family did hold the largest share, he was still just a first-year high school student, so the identity of an assistant was enough.

As for Kagayama Kaede's identity as the president, he and Kagayama Kaede had known each other since childhood and had a good relationship. Coincidentally, she was also the first among their group to become an adult, so he dumped this identity on her.

In fact, the nominal chairman of Asahigaoka Media was currently still his eldest sister, Miyauchi Kazuho, who lazed around eating and drinking every day at the Asahigaoka Branch School.

In short, although Asahigaoka Media had been established for less than three years and its foundations in all aspects were far inferior to those traditional large entertainment companies, it could be considered a major abstract giant in the internet field.

Although Sakurajima Mai had retired from the industry, she still surfed the internet.

Naturally, she inevitably came into contact with those earthy videos with extremely strong flavors from Asahigaoka Media on the internet.

But it had to be said that those videos were indeed well filmed. In the first two years, one could still see raw shooting techniques, but later they became more and more mature. Even judging from Sakurajima Mai's professional actor's perspective, the level of Asahigaoka Media's cameramen was quite good.

And she had heard before that since last year, Asahigaoka Media had found many unknown and washed-up actors and directors, seemingly preparing to enter the industry of low-budget funny film and television dramas.

Unexpectedly, now that she was forgotten by everyone, would it be someone related to Asahigaoka Media who found her?

She took the business card and carefully looked at the name on it and Miyauchi Hikage's appearance. Miyauchi Hikage had already restrained his ability, after all, the ability of these eyes was obviously not suitable for display in front of ordinary people.

Watching Miyauchi Hikage instructing Miyauchi Hikari to adjust the shooting angle, she couldn't help but frown.

"Is the chairman of Asahigaoka Media your sister?"

Miyauchi Hikage shrugged, "Actually, it's me. It's just that I'm not an adult yet, so these things can only be pressed on my eldest sister for now."

In other words, the handsome boy in front of her, who was two years younger than her, was the behind-the-scenes creator of those hundreds of popular online videos?

According to Miyauchi Hikage's instructions, Sakurajima Mai quickly found Tohru and Shiina Mahiru's account on YouTube.

In less than half a month, this newly registered video account already had fifty or sixty thousand followers. Looking at the views of those videos, it was estimated that it wouldn't take long for this account to exceed one million followers like other accounts of Asahigaoka Media.

You know, even for a child star like her with extremely high popularity and ten years since debut, her current Twitter account only had three million followers.

She looked at the business card in her hand again and suddenly sighed: "Looking at this business card, I suspect a little that you want to pull me into your Asahigaoka Media, so you deliberately used some means to turn me into this appearance."

Miyauchi Hikage laughed carelessly: "It is indeed a bit coincidental to say so. How about you make a cameo appearance in my family's crew when you can control your power?"

Although Miyauchi Hikage's focus was now on the pile of villains in the inner world whose goal was to destroy the world, Asahigaoka Media, as his painstaking effort before obtaining the cheat, naturally couldn't be given up just like that.

Before obtaining the diary, Miyauchi Hikage thought that he would film videos while writing scripts and novels during high school, and bring out some low-budget scripts to train the team's experience.

Then he would settle down for a few years. Before becoming an adult, he would find a way to gather a group of talents in Tokyo, such as digging up a few potential small idols and bands to bring out those popular songs from his previous life.

Use those trump cards from his previous life to give this world a little plagiarist shock.

Reborn in Tokyo: Becoming the Godfather of Entertainment Starting from Filming Earthy Videos. If written as a novel, it would probably be something like this.

Among the pile of high school plans Miyauchi Hikage originally prepared for himself, there was indeed the idea of seeing if he, a transmigrator, could withstand Sakurajima Mai's Puberty Syndrome. If he could, he would find a way to sign Sakurajima Mai later and film some big heroine idol dramas for her.

Unfortunately, a cheat fell from the sky, leading Miyauchi Hikage onto another path.

However, Kagayama Kaede and the others had grown up, and with the passive Golden Rule, Miyauchi Hikage didn't need to spend too much time and energy on Asahigaoka Media in the future.

So, now Miyauchi Hikage had no thoughts about Sakurajima Mai. He couldn't possibly poach her and then not be able to provide any good resources for this national daughter.

But if she was willing to come for a cameo appearance then, Miyauchi Hikage would still welcome her very much.

Just looking at Miyauchi Hikage's attitude, and those beautiful girls whose looks were comparable to hers, Sakurajima Mai remembered the name Asahigaoka Media.

She shook her head gently at Miyauchi Hikage: "Unfortunately, I have retired from the industry now. At least until I graduate from high school, I shouldn't take any more roles."

Miyauchi Hikage, who knew the story plot, also shook his head at Sakurajima Mai.

"You don't want to stop acting; you just don't want to be forced by your mother to do work you don't want to do anymore."

After Miyauchi Hikage said this sentence, Yotsuya Miko, who was sitting next to him eating melons frantically, suddenly widened her eyes.

On the one hand, she was surprised by the truth about the national daughter Sakurajima Mai stopping her entertainment activities. On the other hand, her eyes finally clearly saw the spiritual fluctuation appearing around Sakurajima Mai.

Even Tohru, who was gobbling down her fifth bowl of rice on the side, couldn't help but glance at Sakurajima Mai's position.

However, after seeing Miyauchi Hikage beside Sakurajima Mai maintaining a calm expression, she withdrew her gaze again, only muttering "scumbag" in a low voice.

On Yotsuya Miko's side, she immediately reminded Miyauchi Hikage in a low voice, and at the same time asked Sakurajima Mai to try to keep her emotions calm.

Although the process of obtaining these Yin-Yang eyes was confusing for her, she had been researching supernatural awakening since entering school.

She knew that for those who hadn't directly completed supernatural awakening but were in the period of supernatural awakening and couldn't control their abilities, it was best to keep their emotions stable to avoid ability rampage and doing something irreversible.

Regarding this, Miyauchi Hikage waved his hand: "Unless it can affect others, even if her ability goes berserk, it will only further eliminate her presence in this world. Even if it gets worse, her situation won't be worse than it is now."

Regarding this, Yotsuya Miko pointed timidly at Kato Megumi sitting on the other side: "But it seems that this girl has been affected."

Hearing this, Miyauchi Hikage turned his head and opened the Eye of Destiny towards Kato Megumi.

Good guy, after Sakurajima Mai's spiritual fluctuation was transmitted to Kato Megumi, the reaction on Kato Megumi's body was also a bit subtle now.

Could it be that similar powers colliding together produced some resonance?

However, from the picture seen by the Eye of Destiny, Kato Megumi only showed some signs slightly, and was still far from truly awakening.

After all, the supernatural being's own will and thoughts were the key to supernatural awakening.

But with Kato Megumi's calm and comfortable personality, even if she was affected by Sakurajima Mai's power, it would probably be difficult for her to successfully complete ability awakening.

However, Sakurajima Mai, who was still a little excited originally, was suddenly stunned.

Yes, obviously when she came in, she saw that Miyauchi Hikage was a group of seven people, but unknowingly, she subconsciously ignored one of the girls.

Did her power really affect the other party too?

"Don't think too much. You are forgotten by everyone because of your inner conflict and inability to control your power. Kato is low-key herself, and her constitution is slightly special, so people who are not familiar with her easily ignore her existence."

"It can only be said that if she awakens, the ability she obtains might be somewhat similar to yours, so your power and hers might have produced some resonance, but at least for now, she is just an ordinary person with relatively low presence."

Saying this, Miyauchi Hikage specifically asked Kato Megumi if she needed a drink. After receiving Kato Megumi's response shaking her head indicating no need, he turned around and asked Miyauchi Hikari to get a bottle of water for everyone.

Finally, Miyauchi Hikari came back holding seven bottles of water. A bottle of water was placed in front of everyone including Kato Megumi, only Sakurajima Mai sitting next to Miyauchi Hikage was ignored.

Miyauchi Hikage handed his water to Sakurajima Mai: "To avoid you continuing to stimulate Kato, I'd better talk about these things outside after finishing the meal."

Sakurajima Mai nodded. She didn't want this life ignored by everyone to spread to others because of her wish.

Next, Sakurajima Mai finished her meal quickly. Looking at the other party's appearance, Miyauchi Hikage said a few words to Shiina Mashiro sitting on his other side, asking them to rest for a while after filming.

Then he signaled Sakurajima Mai and Yotsuya Miko to leave with him first.

It wasn't until they walked a distance towards the seaside that Sakurajima Mai asked Miyauchi Hikage: "How did you know the reason for my retirement?"

According to Yotsuya Miko, the emotions Sakurajima Mai had been suppressing just now had set off a spiritual fluctuation exceeding Grade 2 around her at this time.

This didn't mean that Sakurajima Mai could reach the Grade 1 level as soon as she awakened.

After all, she was still in the ability rampage period. At this stage, due to long-term accumulation, coupled with emotional instability, it was normal to temporarily erupt with high-level spiritual fluctuations.

After the ability stabilized, it wouldn't be so easy to reach this level again.

"My eyes can see a lot of things, including the direction of fate on you. Although I didn't see much, I think that set of swimsuit photos you suddenly shot before high school, which was completely different from your past style, should be the cause of the conflict between you and your mother, and the reason you made the decision to stop entertainment activities."
