Chapter 315 Elopement with Senior Mai
Natsumi wasn't surprised at all that Sakurajima knew his name.
No matter what, she is Mai Sakurajima's mother; how could she not know about her daughter's whereabouts and situation?
Naturally, his affair with Mai Sakurajima also became known.
The two had previously made headlines for dating, so anyone who knows Mai Sakurajima would definitely know of his existence.
There was no problem before that she said Sakurajima Mai had the same bad taste as her.
Mai Sakurajima's mother got divorced quite early.
I don't know if Mai Sakurajima's half-sister exists.
"Why are you suddenly asking me?" Xia Sheng smiled.
"Mai seems to be relying on you a lot now. Shouldn't you give her some advice?" Sakurajima asked.
Her tone was too forceful, like that of a superior to a subordinate.
However, as an elder, her attitude towards Xia Sheng is quite reasonable.
It was only because she had become accustomed to it and always maintained a superior attitude that Mai Sakurajima rebelled.
It can't be called rebellion, it's just breaking free from her control.
After all, Xia Sheng was also very unhappy with her actions. How could she let her daughter take swimsuit photos? Was that appropriate?
"Mai-senpai does rely on me a bit, but Auntie, you've got one thing wrong," Natsumi said, pointing with her index finger.
"What?"
"It's not that the person she relies on can decide what she does," Xia Sheng smiled slightly at her.
..." Sakurajima Miyabi frowned. How could she not understand the meaning behind Natsuo's words?
"Being her support doesn't mean ordering her around or going against her wishes, but rather helping her when she needs it and supporting her when she makes her own decisions. That's what it means to be her support," Xia Sheng continued to instruct.
"...Is that why you like him?" Sakurajima Masato asked Sakurajima Mai.
"No, that's not true." Mai Sakurajima smiled.
Xia Sheng's words pleased her, but that wasn't the reason she liked him.
Aside from the protection she received in the underground city, she didn't rely on Xia Sheng to understand what he was saying.
"It can't be because of his face, right? Or his grades? Or his athleticism?"
"You know I'm not attracted by looks," Mai Sakurajima replied.
"Then it seems there are other factors. That makes sense. Being so popular at school can't be based on just that." Sakurajima nodded, looking knowing.

"Auntie, you know me quite well." Xia Sheng couldn't help but interject.
"After all, it was a man my daughter was in contact with, and it happened during her rebellious phase."
"Mai isn't rebelling; she's just seeking freedom," Natsumi retorted, shaking his head.
"Freedom, huh... You're quite the talker. How old are you to want freedom?" Sakurajima Miyabi asked sarcastically.
"We may not be big, but we're not small either," Xia Sheng replied.

"..." Sakurajima Masashi remained silent, staring intently at Natsumi.
"Auntie, Mai is really not young anymore. In another year, she will be a college student and an adult. She shouldn't be controlled by you. She is your daughter." Xia Sheng said earnestly.
"Mai...you might have found a good man." Sakurajima Miyabi paused for a moment, then suddenly said.
"I know my own judgment perfectly well," Mai Sakurajima said with a smile.
"However... I still don't have high hopes for you. You can't leave the entertainment industry." Sakurajima Miyabi changed the subject.
"I know... but I'll rely on myself," Mai Sakurajima replied earnestly.
"Then let me see."
Sakurajima Miyabi left without any hesitation or anger, as if they had just discussed something very ordinary.
Her relationship with Mai Sakurajima wasn't like that of a daughter; it was more like that of colleagues.
"call-
'
Seeing that Mai Sakurajima was struggling with her decision, Natsuo let out a long sigh and broke the silence.
"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing." Mai Sakurajima snapped out of her daze, looked at him, and apologized.
"What's there to laugh about? I'm very happy. I'm Mai-senpai's support." Natsumi smiled smugly.
"Then, will you become my support?" Mai Sakurajima suddenly asked, her eyes serious.
"If you want to," Xia Sheng replied calmly.
"If I want to... should I go back to the entertainment industry?" Mai Sakurajima asked again, seemingly dependent on him.
This was actually a problem she had been struggling with for a long time. Just as her mother said, she couldn't bear to leave the entertainment industry.
She loves acting.
The entertainment industry is her stage.
"When you asked this question, didn't you already have the answer in your heart?" Xia Sheng didn't help you choose, but asked in return.
"The answer...maybe it is." Mai Sakurajima smiled helplessly.
Yes, she's already hesitant, so why ask?
"If you want to go back, then go back. You like it, don't you?" Natsumi said, seeing that Sakurajima Mai's eyes were clear.
"But...

"Worried about the dungeons?"
"Um"
"Don't worry about that. I'm here, we're all here. Besides, it's not like you can't go," Xia Sheng reminded him with a smile.
"That's true...."
'
"So just take care of your own life and don't overwork yourself. You enjoy acting, you're not forced to act."
"If you like it... then I'll go back to the entertainment industry?" Mai Sakurajima looked at Natsumi, seeking a decision.
"Go ahead," Xia Sheng replied with a smile.
"Okay." Mai Sakurajima smiled brightly.
"But there's one thing you have to do," Xia Sheng suddenly said.
"What?"
"You're not allowed to act opposite anyone, you're not allowed to do photo shoots or anything like that, and you can't date," Xia Sheng emphasized seriously.
"So possessive?" Sakurajima Mai laughed.
"Is it not allowed?" Xia Sheng asked righteously.
"Of course." Mai Sakurajima nodded with a smile.
"Then there's no problem."
The two then left the coffee shop.
However, Mai Sakurajima wasn't in a hurry to go back, so Natsuo accompanied her as they strolled around at their leisure.
Having resolved her inner conflict, Mai Sakurajima was in a good mood throughout the journey, a smile playing on her lips. When she encountered fans, she greeted them warmly.
Xia Sheng was right next to her, so it was easy to mistakenly think they were on a date.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the two arrived at the station. Mai Sakurajima suddenly stopped, staring at the tracks, somewhat lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" Xia Sheng looked at her in confusion.
"I don't know why, but I don't really want to go back," Mai Sakurajima murmured to herself.
"That's normal. Are you very excited right now?"
"yes."
"In that case..." Xia Sheng stroked his chin thoughtfully, "How about... we elope?"
"Misunderstanding?" Mai Sakurajima stared at him blankly.
"Let's take a trip where we don't go home at night," Xia Sheng said with a smile.
"But aren't you going to the dungeon tonight? And you have class tomorrow..." Sakurajima Mai said this, but her heart was tempted.
"That's all right. I was just about to ask you, would you like to elope with me? And not come home at night?"
'
..think!"
"Let's go!"
The two waited for the tram to arrive, then boarded it without any destination, and rode it all the way to the final stop.
It was already dark when I got off the bus.
"Where...is this place?" Mai Sakurajima's face showed no tension, only excitement.
"If you don't know, then you certainly don't know either," Xia Sheng replied.
This world is different from the original neon. Even Mai Sakurajima, a local, didn't know this, so how could he, a transmigrator, possibly know?
Not knowing is just fine; this trip is all about taking things as they come.
Natsumi had already explained the situation to Shiina Mahiru on the way here, so all he had to do now was stay with Sakurajima Mai.
"What should we do next?" Mai Sakurajima asked, leaving the decision to Natsumi.
"Let's find a hotel to secure a place to stay first, then go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and then do whatever we want," Xia Sheng planned.
He suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu about this aimless trip, but Mai Sakurajima didn't have puberty symptoms and was no longer worried.
He was the initiator again.
"Do whatever you want..." Mai Sakurajima looked at Natsumi nervously, clearly having misunderstood.
"Hmm? If you want, I don't mind either~" Xia Sheng said with a smile.
"You wouldn't... be running away with me just for this, would you?"
"What if that happens? Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid."
