I am a freeloader in the anime world

At this moment, the surrounding environment suddenly fell into a deep silence, as if time had frozen at this moment, and the air became thick and still. All sounds disappeared, leaving only endless peace and tranquility, which made people hold their breath and concentrate.

Mai Sakurajima picked up the delicate doll gracefully, her movements revealing a kind of quiet beauty. When she slowly turned her head, her sight bumped into Su Yang's face unexpectedly, and a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

That smile contained both embarrassment and helplessness caused by the sudden eye contact, but also a kind of indescribable tenderness and depth, as if hiding some unspeakable emotion.

The two people's eyes met in the air, and a subtle and profound tacit understanding was formed in an instant.

A faint smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of Mai Sakurajima's mouth, and she tried her best to suppress the joy that was about to burst out from her heart.

Mai Sakurajima gently hugged the doll in her arms and whispered in a soft voice: "It seems that even Su Yang, a famous employee of the Time Travel Bureau, will have a moment of failure."

There was a hint of mischief and teasing in Mai Sakurajima's words, but more of it was intimacy and tenderness.

"This is a completely unexpected incident. Perhaps we just got lucky this time. You don't need to rush to draw conclusions. The development of the situation will surely verify that my speculation is correct."

Su Yang's face flushed red at this moment. He felt deeply embarrassed and almost ashamed.

Su Yang was eager to justify his words through practical actions, so he took the game coins handed to him by Sakurajima Mai without hesitation and immediately plunged into a crazy coin-operated game.

He was completely absorbed in the game, as if he wanted to devote all his energy to it in order to prove that he was right.

(PS: Game coins are not considered property, so they will not be destroyed.)

However, as time passed quietly, the number of dolls around Su Yang gradually increased unknowingly. They surrounded him more and more densely like stars, forming a unique landscape at the claw machine in the mall.

Mai Sakurajima was originally trying hard to maintain a calm expression, however, as the number of dolls in the machine gradually decreased, the embarrassment on Su Yang's face gradually became difficult to conceal.

Sakurajima Mai finally couldn't hide her inner turmoil any longer and she turned her head quietly, her shoulders trembling slightly inadvertently, like a fallen leaf swaying in the autumn wind, silently revealing her inner throbbing and uneasiness.

Mai Sakurajima's face is like a carefully carved work of art, small and delicate.

At this moment, she was trying her best to suppress the smile in her heart, causing a faint blush to gradually appear on her cheeks, like peach blossoms blooming in the sunset, adding a bit of charm and shyness.

Her little mouth was tightly closed, as if she was afraid of revealing her inner joy.

Her teeth were clenched tightly together, as if warning herself not to let her guard down easily, for fear that if she relaxed a little, she would burst out laughing.

This look of trying to restrain herself made her appear even more adorable and playful, as if she was a naughty elf, teasing the curiosity of those around her.

There was a sparkling light in Mai Sakurajima's eyes, which seemed to hide endless joy.

Su Yang stood side by side with Mai Sakurajima, but his eyes were focused on the claw machine, his expression revealed an indescribable confusion and puzzlement. He muttered in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself.

"This machine is really abnormal. It must have been tampered with secretly. But the strange thing is that its success rate is surprisingly high. This completely goes against the profit logic of the merchants. Does the mall really not intend to use this opportunity to make a fortune?"

Su Yang frowned, his heart full of questions and confusion.

"Yang Jun, the dolls in the machine are gone. How long are you going to stand there like an idiot?"

Sakurajima Mai stared at Su Yang deeply, and saw that he was immersed in his own vortex of thoughts for a long time. It seemed as if he was isolated by an invisible barrier, and all the noise from the outside world could not touch his heart.

She looked into his deep eyes, which seemed to be gazing at the distant scenery of another world, which made people feel a little worried.

Finally, Mai Sakurajima could no longer endure the oppressive silence. She opened her red lips and spoke in a soft and firm voice, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, gently breaking the silence.

She tried to use words to awaken his wandering mind and bring him back to reality.

But unfortunately, Mai Sakurajima's efforts failed.

Mai Sakurajima shook her head slightly and decided to put aside her entanglement with Su Yang for the time being and focus on the dolls in front of her. She planned to go to the nearby shop to pick out a suitable cardboard box to pack the dolls.

Sakurajima Mai made up her mind. She looked back at Su Yang who was still lost in thought and said, "Just stay here and don't run around."

Soon, Sakurajima Mai returned to the claw machine with a cardboard box. At this time, Su Yang finally came back to his senses, but when he looked at the claw machine, there was always some inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

When Mai Sakurajima and Su Yang first arrived at the mall, their hands were empty, as pure as a blank sheet of paper. However, when they returned with their hands full and stepped out of the mall, Su Yang's hands were already heavy with a box of colorful dolls, which were as colorful as a rainbow in summer, shining brightly.

Mai Sakurajima's steps inadvertently revealed a light and cheerful charm. The cute Q version of Toyohama and flower doll in her hand was always held tightly by her, like a treasure.

Occasionally, she would lower her head slightly, with a gentle gleam in her eyes, gently falling on the doll.

The few hints of joy in those eyes were like a gentle spring breeze, bringing warmth and sweetness.

Su Yang suddenly had an idea, and he jokingly suggested to Sakurajima Mai: "By the way, have you ever thought about how to place these dolls? Perhaps, I can try to set up a street stall and see if I can sell them one by one. What do you think of this idea?"

Sakurajima Mai looked at me with a bit of doubt and inquiry, as if asking, "Are you really still planning to set up a street stall?"

"Of course, if you are interested in this, I would be happy to do so." Su Yang responded with a smile.

"Forget it, don't go. I don't think that's a good idea." Sakurajima Mai said softly. Her eyes revealed her concern and worry for Su Yang, as well as a hint of dissuasion.

Sakurajima Mai subconsciously reached out and grabbed Su Yang, as if she wanted to keep him by her side and not let him take any more risks.

After all, with Su Yang's appearance, it is easy for him to encounter people with bad intentions. Although he can beat them, it is better to avoid them if possible.

However, the moment Sakurajima Mai's fingertips lightly touched Su Yang's palm, she was obviously stunned, as if shocked by some invisible force, and her expression revealed an indescribable expression. However, soon, a hint of determination appeared, and she held Su Yang's hand tightly.

"The event is about to start, Yang Jun, please take me there." Sakurajima Mai looked at Su Yang and said with a smile.

"Okay." Su Yang nodded.

Su Yang did not ask whether it would have any impact if he was photographed by reporters or the like, because he saw the determination on Sakurajima Mai's face.

Since Mai Sakurajima has made up her mind, why should he, as her boyfriend, be afraid?

If there are really people who are blind, the worst that can happen is that we send them to see Amaterasu. I believe they won’t mind, right?
