Chapter 117 Thoughts and Concerns
"She really looks good, and so does her smile."
In front of the seafood display case, Kitagawa Mai stood next to Kato Koe.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with affection and longing, and her fair, oval face affirmed what Kato Koe had said.
Kitagawa Mai thought of that exceptionally handsome young man from earlier.
And the incredibly beautiful smile the other person gave me.
Kitagawa Mai felt her heart pounding wildly.
How can there be such a handsome young man in this world?
"Alright, alright, Xiaohui, we should get back to work."
Kitagawa Mai shook her head, trying her best to put the image of the boy in her mind out of her head.
Although that boy was incredibly handsome, so handsome that it was easy to like him.
But Kitagawa Mai knew perfectly well that these things had nothing to do with her.
Her current goal is to work part-time to earn money while finishing her studies at the University of Tokyo, and then find a better job after graduation.
To earn more money to treat my younger sister back in the countryside, and to improve my own life and that of my family.
As for that incredibly handsome and outstanding young man from earlier, Kitagawa Mai would only keep that beautiful image buried deep in her heart.
Just like someone who sees a comic book or movie clip they like, they won't devote all their attention to that clip.
She would only keep those small, beautiful moments in her heart, and then slowly forget them as time went by.
"Oh, Mai, really, all you do is work, work, work all day long."
Kato Koe, who was initially excited, saw her friend return to her usual self and prepared to continue working.
She couldn't help but mutter a couple of things, but then she turned her eyes to look at her friend in front of her.
A playful smile suddenly appeared on Kato Koe's face. She immediately stepped forward and approached Kitagawa Mai, saying:
"Hey Mai, when that boy came over to buy seafood just now, I felt like his gaze was mostly on you."
Kato Koe clicked her tongue twice, looking at her friend Kitagawa Mai with a teasing tone.
"Mai, do you think that boy just now might have a crush on you?"
"How could that be, Xiaohui? Stop reading those manga and novels about living off women."
Kitagawa Mai kept her head down as she tidied up the somewhat messy seafood display case; Kato Koe couldn't see her expression.
"Just kidding, just kidding."
Seeing that Kitagawa Mai wasn't affected by her jokes, Kato Koe returned to her serious demeanor.
But the next moment, Kato Koe slightly raised her head to look at the ceiling above her, her eyes filled with reminiscence, and murmured to herself:
"But Mai, I'm telling you, after that boy came over just now, it seemed like he was staring at you most of the time."
"Xiao Hui, instead of wasting your time daydreaming, you should help me organize the containers."
"Could it really be my imagination? Never mind, Mai, I'll tidy up over there, you can tidy up here."
After Kato Koe left, Kitagawa Mai, who was tidying up the seafood display case, stopped what she was doing.
She looked at her reflection in the water on the container in front of her, her fair oval face, her somewhat tired eyes, and her fresh and elegant demeanor.
"Xiao Hui seems to be right; his gaze seemed to be constantly fixed on me just now."
Kitagawa Mai looked at her reflection in the water, reflecting on her experience as an outstanding student who had come from the countryside to study at the University of Tokyo.
Kitagawa Mai felt that her memory was not exactly photographic.
But I can still remember clearly what happened a few minutes ago.
"Was there something on my face just now?"
Kitagawa Mai looked at her own fair, oval face in her hands and touched it a couple of times.

At noon, Shimizu Setsukatsu stayed at the company and did not go home, as did Shimizu Yuzuki.
But adhering to the idea of having a good lunch, Hoshino Makoto still cooked quite a few dishes.
Especially the fresh abalone and sea cucumber I bought when I went shopping with Shimizu Rin this morning.
Hoshino Makoto specially used these two ingredients to make a nourishing soup for his second sister, Shimizu Rin.
Yamamoto Mami specifically told Hoshino Makoto that if he wanted to buy any ingredients next time, he could just tell her, since she was in charge of that aspect of the household.
Since Hoshino Makoto came to our house, he has been cooking lunch and dinner, while Yamamoto Mami has been cooking breakfast.
Now that Hoshino Makoto has started buying his own groceries, Yamamoto Mami is worried that she will lose her job if this continues.
Although she is a third-generation culinary successor in her family, her cooking skills allow her to quickly find another job even if she loses her job.
However, the salary offered by Shimizu Setsukyo is quite generous, and she has worked there for many years and has developed a certain attachment to it, so she doesn't want to leave.
Besides that, the food we usually eat is supplied by stable suppliers, so we don't usually buy it from outside.
Of course, not all ingredients are provided by suppliers; Mami Yamamoto occasionally buys them from brand supermarkets or convenience stores.
As for Yamamoto Mami's request, Hoshino Makoto naturally had no objection and agreed to it.
After all, the reason he bought abalone and sea cucumber in the morning was primarily because he wanted to nourish his second sister, Shimizu Rin.
Secondly, Hoshino Makoto saw Kitagawa Mai, who possessed evil abilities, in charge of the food area.
He wanted to use this opportunity to observe this person with evil abilities.
"Second sister is a time-stopper, and third sister's friend is a Stand user."
"Auntie's abilities are currently unknown, but her evil value has been reduced to nine points, making her unable to use evil abilities."
Sunlight streamed into the clean room, where Hoshino Makoto sat in front of his computer, his face showing serious contemplation.
"We were finally rid of Auntie, the one with evil abilities, but now we have another one with evil abilities."
"We still don't recognize her. Should Second Sister use Time Stop to devour the evil power within her?"
Hoshino Makoto rested his fair cheek on his right hand, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Although my second sister's abilities are indeed very impressive, what if this woman named Kitagawa Mai is even more powerful than my second sister?"
Hoshino Shin rested his chin on his hands, pondering whether or not Shimizu Rin should directly devour the evil power within Kitagawa Mai.
After all, his second sister's ability is to stop time, and there is a high probability that she can directly devour the evil power on Kitagawa Mai's body.
But it's better to be safe than sorry. What if this evil ability of Kitagawa Mai is even more powerful than Shimizu Rin's time-stopping ability?
