I am a freeloader in the anime world

"So, what do you want to say?" Su Yang asked after hearing Sakuta Azusagawa's sigh.

"I would like to ask you to help me find someone." said Sakuta Azusagawa.

"Who?" asked Mai Sakurajima.

"Well, let's just say she was my first love." Azusagawa Sakuta blushed. "I only met her once, and then I couldn't find her again. You could say that the reason I came to Mineahara High School was because of her, but when I arrived at Mineahara High School, I found that this person didn't exist."

"So, you want us to help you find your first love?" Su Yang asked.

"Huh~ You said it was your first love after only meeting me once. I didn't expect that my junior was actually the kind of person who was attracted by beauty~" Sakurajima Mai teased.

"Well, the store manager said you can help me find it." Sakuta Azusagawa ignored Mai Sakurajima's teasing and said to Su Yang.

"Well, if we really want to find someone, I guess there really is no one in this world who is more suitable than me. Of course, the premise is that that person exists. But according to the question you asked us just now, it is hard to say whether the person you mentioned exists in the surface world. I don't know much about the inner world either."

Hearing that it was a request to find someone, Su Yang nodded in agreement, but then he thought of what Azusagawa Sakuta had just said when he left the police station, and quickly added a sentence.

Speaking of finding someone, it is indeed as the manager of Ping An Hotel said, Su Yang, who possesses the talent of the Son of Life, is indeed the most suitable candidate. After all, it can be said that all the plants and intelligent animals in the world are Su Yang's spies.

"By the way, what was the name of your first love? If she was a student at Minegahara National High School, I should know it." Sakurajima Mai said from the side.

"Makinohara Shoko." Azusagawa Sakuta said.

"Makinohara Shoko?" Sakurajima Mai lowered her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head. "There is definitely no such person in Minegahara High School. Can you tell me more about her? I want to see if I have any impression of her."

"Is that so? That's fine." Azusagawa Sakuta nodded. "By the way, do you know what puberty syndrome is?"

"Puberty syndrome? What is that? A disease?" Mai Sakurajima asked three question marks in a row.

"I have heard of it." Su Yang replied at this time, "Adolescent syndrome is also called puberty syndrome. Puberty syndrome is a so-called urban legend. Patients will suffer from diseases similar to supernatural phenomena such as 'being able to hear other people's voices', 'seeing someone's future' or 'someone's personality swaps with someone else's'."

Su Yang paused here and continued.

"It seems that there is a message board about this online consultation. There are many cases of supernatural phenomena similar to this. It is hard to say whether it is true or not. You can just check it out online."

"Also, normal psychiatrists assert that this is a self-identified behavior of an unstable heart due to sentimentality; some people who call themselves experts say that 'this is a new type of panic symptom born in modern society', and some ordinary people who are curious about things, after conducting investigations, put forward the view that 'this should be some kind of collective hypnosis'. Of course, some people say that this mental illness is caused by a certain pressure between the ideal portrayed and the reality that has not come true. However, the common point among all these is that no one takes it seriously. Most adults think that 'this is just the behavior of adolescent boys and girls'. That's basically it."

Su Yang told everything he knew in one breath.

As for why Su Yang knew this, it was all because one of the illegal travelers who was caught by Su Yang in Kanagawa told him this. Su Yang thought it was interesting at the time, so he took note of it. However, as to what the illegal traveler said about "there is a message board on the Internet", Su Yang said he was not sure. Because of his talent, he had been unable to come into contact with electronic products in the twenty years since he came to this world.

"Huh?!" Mai Sakurajima was surprised when she heard Su Yang's explanation.

"That's basically it." On the other side, after hearing Su Yang's words, Azusagawa Sakuta expressed his affirmation.

"By the way, Sakurajima-senpai's condition may also be due to puberty syndrome. At least, according to what I saw on the message board, it seems that he has the same symptoms as you." Azusagawa Sakuta suddenly said, "As for Hoshino's..."

"It's definitely not because of puberty syndrome." Su Yang explained quickly. At this moment, he had already seen a series of system notifications on his system panel after his body was blown to pieces. He knew that he became his current spirit body because his body was blown to pieces and was in a state of repair.

"Is that so?" After hearing Sakuta Azusagawa say that he was suffering from puberty syndrome, Mai Sakurajima fell into deep thought, and then asked Sakuta Azusagawa, "Is there any solution to my situation on the message board?"

"No." Sakuta Azusagawa shook his head, indicating that he could not help Mai Sakurajima.

"Well, we can just ask the manager of Ping An Hotel later." Su Yang gave a suggestion, "At least, in this world, there is nothing he doesn't know. After all, he even knows about things in the other world. He probably knows something about puberty syndrome."

"By the way, junior, you should first tell us about you and your first love Shoko Makinohara, so that it will be easier for us to help you find someone." Mai Sakurajima felt relieved when she heard Su Yang's words. She suddenly remembered that the reason she mentioned puberty syndrome was because of Sakuta Azusagawa's first love, so she quickly brought the topic back.

"Oh, yes, yes." When Azusagawa Sakuta heard what Sakurajima Mai said, he quickly came to his senses and continued talking about him and Makinohara Shoko.

............

"I see."

Ten minutes later, after listening to Sakuta Azusagawa's story, Mai Sakurajima and Su Yang exclaimed in unison.

To put it bluntly, the story between Sakuta Azusagawa and Shoko Makinohara is also very simple.

A year ago, Sakuta Azusagawa's sister suffered from puberty syndrome due to school bullying and eventually lost her memory. While his sister was in the hospital, Sakuta Azusagawa was depressed and felt hopeless about life. After a breakdown and escaping from the hospital where his sister was hospitalized, he met Shoko Makinohara, a high school student at the time, on a beach. Thanks to Shoko Makinohara's encouragement, Sakuta Azusagawa regained the motivation to live, so Shoko Makinohara was always regarded as his first love. Just when Sakuta Azusagawa was about to confess (I made a small modification here to make Sakuta Azusagawa and Shoko Makinohara a pair), Shoko Makinohara suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.

However, the disappearance of Makinohara Shoko did not make Azusagawa Sakuta give up his feelings for her. Instead, it intensified his determination to find Makinohara Shoko and confess his feelings to her. Fortunately, Azusagawa Sakuta knew that Makinohara Shoko was a student of Minegohara High School. Azusagawa Sakuta, who was in the third grade of junior high school at the time, gritted his teeth and tried his best to finally get into Minegohara High School.

However, when Azusagawa Sakuta came to Minegohara High School, he was dumbfounded, because there was no such person as Makinohara Shoko in Minegohara High School, as if she did not exist at all. However, Azusagawa Sakuta's memory kept telling him that the time he spent with Makinohara Shoko was not false. Therefore, even after the "medical treatment incident" at the beginning of the first grade, he was isolated by his classmates in Minegohara High School and did not think of dropping out.
