Chapter 704 - 195: Regarding the Spencer-Type Sakuragi (Happy Lunar New Year’s Eve!) (Part 2)
Not used to it?
Right, the way I lost control this morning surely scared the President.
Would the President think the real me is that loud, like a shrew?
She pressed her lips together, accepting the book he handed over, her heart trembling involuntarily.
Every time she recalled how she was yelling at Spencer like that this morning, she almost regretted it to death.
"It’s all Spencer’s fault, she obviously has some superpower affecting us!"
Within the Barrier, the cold Sakuragi crossed her arms and clicked her tongue, her face extremely displeased.
"Hmm, Hitomi already figured it out before. Spencer’s ability seems to be related to ’betrayal’..."
On her shoulder, the petite Sakuragi perched up, counting on her fingers and analyzing,
"Every time we’re affected, Hitomi feels the betrayal by someone close, which leads to anger and consequently, losing control.
"The first time was with the President, whom we considered a future partner; the second was with our dearest mother..."
Hitomi is the name the petite Sakuragi used to distinguish the main body.
Everyone is Sakuragi, each with their own characteristics, but the main body, Sakuragi Hitomi, is too complex to be summarized by traits.
Therefore, the petite Sakuragi proposed using a name to refer solely to their main body.
"Isn’t this a conceptual god? As long as she approaches those we think are ours, or close to us, we’ll be affected?"
The cold Sakuragi furrowed her brow, while the petite Sakuragi struggled to stand up from her shoulder and suggested,
"But conversely, as long as you don’t care, Spencer’s power can’t affect us at all."
"..."
In reality, Sakuragi Hitomi, her face pale, was stunned by the petite Sakuragi’s words.
In other words, as long as I don’t care about the President in my heart, don’t care about my mother, Spencer’s power won’t affect me?
Not care about the President...
Not care about my mother...
Only a deity could achieve that!
"Only a ghost could achieve that!"
Sakuragi Hitomi didn’t even need to voice this thought, the cold Sakuragi in the Barrier turned red, grabbing the petite Sakuragi who came up with this ridiculous idea,
"Don’t say she can’t do it, can we do it? I care about interests, you care about morals! Can you claim to care about nothing?!"
"I... I didn’t say we need to do it... as long as there’s one ’Sakuragi’ who can do it, that’s enough..."
"You mean..."
The cold Sakuragi paused slightly, and when the petite Sakuragi’s words reached the ears of the real Sakuragi, an intangible wave instantly spread through the Barrier.
"Crack crack crack~"
A "masked face" with a beard gradually fell to the ground, swaying slightly.
"..."
Then, on the sofa within the student council Barrier, a brand new Sakuragi appeared, dressed sloppily in pajamas, looking lazy.
Her long black hair was messy, her feet bare, revealing her small abdomen.
In the middle of her forehead, there was a red dot typical of a Buddha’s image.
"Awooo~"
The lazy Sakuragi lay on her side on the sofa, scratching her butt, greeting the two Sakuragis in front of her,
"Hello, ladies..."
"You... who are you?"
"Ah, me? Doesn’t matter, you can call me anything, even Spencer... Awooo... I’m so sleepy, when can I go back to our home Barrier... the student council sofa is not comfy at all..."
"..."
Still...
It actually appeared!
A Sakuragi who cares about nothing!
The cold Sakuragi and the petite Sakuragi were equally shocked, quickly adjusting the speed of time in the reality and the Barrier to avoid affecting the real Sakuragi for too long.
The petite Sakuragi flew to the sofa, looking at the lazy Sakuragi lying there like a Buddha, couldn’t help asking,
"Do you... still like the President?"
"Yeah..."
The lazy Sakuragi yawned, nodding.
"Ah, as expected, every Sakuragi likes the President!"
The cold Sakuragi also crossed her arms and walked over, sneering,
"So, since she also likes the President, how could she be immune to Spencer’s superpower?"
The petite Sakuragi was unsure but suddenly thought it through and continued asking,
"Then can you accept the President being with Spencer?"
"Sure. Sleeping together is warm."
"Huh? Then... what about Ye Shiyu?"
"Ye Shiyu is so tall, you’d need a very wide blanket for three people to sleep together."
"...And An Le and Bai Yi?"
"Six people sleeping together? The bed at home isn’t big enough for that many people, you’d need a bigger one, and I want to sleep in the middle."
"..."
The petite Sakuragi was completely dumbfounded, and the cold Sakuragi was even more flabbergasted, her temples throbbing.
The next second, she couldn’t hold back and directly pulled out a katana, aiming to chop off lazy Sakuragi’s head,
"Sleep, sleep, sleep! Sleep your head! Do you enjoy sleeping with the President that much? Do you even hear what you’re saying?!"
"Mm, I heard you... Well, actually it’s okay if we don’t always sleep together, it doesn’t matter..."
Even with the blade so close, lazy Sakuragi remained motionless, as if she didn’t care at all whether she got chopped or not.
Seeing this, cold Sakuragi was speechless.
Come to think of it, she really couldn’t bring herself to harm her.
Because lazy Sakuragi was also part of Sakuragi Hitomi, and if she killed her, who knew what kind of chaos would ensue.
"Alright, alright, calm down. I have a feeling this Sakuragi will be very useful dealing with Spencer..."
In the crucial moment, the petite Sakuragi appeared again to smooth things over.
But cold Sakuragi snorted and poured cold water on the situation,
"But the problem is, we can only appear in the Barrier.
"When she’s affected, she has no contact with us at all. What’s the point of her being there? Just scratching her butt and watching the show?"
Hearing this, the petite Sakuragi suddenly panicked,
"Yeah... Right! I forgot about this!"
"..."
Cold Sakuragi rolled her eyes, almost too lazy to mock.
But at this moment, lazy Sakuragi, who had been dozing off, suddenly spoke,
"But, who said we can only appear in the Barrier?"
"Huh?"
Both Sakuragis looked at lazy Sakuragi at the same time, seeing her yawn and spread her hands,
"We are essentially Hitomi’s personality fragments, already a part of her.
"As long as she wants, just by putting on our Personality Masks, we can appear in reality through her body."
Cold Sakuragi was shocked, and petite Sakuragi couldn’t hold back,
"Is that even possible?"
...
...
The time flow in reality is completely different from that in the Barrier.
Those Sakuragis talked for half a day in the Barrier, but only a moment passed in reality.
After hearing their conversation, Sakuragi Hitomi couldn’t help but be suspicious.
Possess my body?
Doesn’t that mean letting them control my body?
Sakuragi Hitomi instinctively thought, but her intuition told her that the effect didn’t work that way.
At this moment, with a slight communication with the Barrier, she could feel three illusory masks floating around her.
Is this what lazy Sakuragi was talking about?
Sakuragi Hitomi stroked her chin, pondering.
Meanwhile, the reunion between An Le and Miyake Huhu didn’t last long before Yahashiki, with a perplexed look, interrupted,
"Miyake-sensei, you know this An Le?"
"Of course!"
Miyake Huhu patted her chest proudly,
"She was my best partner on the forums before my debut, a little Ping Xi. We collaborated on a manga that was featured at the C98 exhibition~"
"A manga?"
Not only Yahashiki, but even Yan Huan, who was packing up, looked at An Le with curiosity.
Upon hearing this, the joyful An Le, due to the long-awaited reunion, realized something and blushed, trying to stop Miyake Huhu from speaking,
"Wait... Wait a minute, Bafi old..."
But it was already too late.
"Yes! It was a childhood sweetheart manga called ’Pleasure Purgatory,’ which sold incredibly well at C98, and was even reprinted twice!
"Her childhood sweetheart story was immensely popular back in Changgan, described in such detail, everyone said it was like happening right in front of them...
"Me and little Ping Xi became famous in Ying Country from that time, but unfortunately, she never wrote a script for me again."
Pleasure Purgatory?
A childhood sweetheart manga?
Written in detail?
Hearing this, Yahashiki blinked, and then instinctively turned to look at the stupefied Yan Huan behind him.
Could it be true, President?
Yan Huan knew nothing about this, after all, An Le appeared so innocent and cute in his eyes, completely unaware of such things.
Even after listening, Yan Huan thought Miyake Huhu must have mistaken someone else for An Le.
"..."
So, he quickly turned to An Le to confirm.
Who knew, he just happened to see An Le, blushing furiously, looking as if she could burst into tears at any moment.
How fortunate to have a three-room, one-hall residence at such a young age.
It’s just a pity it’s so off the beaten path, underfoot.
