4. Mai really doesn't like getting too close to people anymore, but unfortunately her inquisitive nature has her trotting alongside the guy in the bartender get-up several days after the incident and prompts she's guessing there's a story behind the abnormal strength. He's startled at her appearance and rudely tells her to shove off, he's busy, and refuses to answer with what? She doesn't press the matter and continues on her way. It's not over, though. She is going to get an answer eventually. It's just Naru's not paying her to argue with random people.

So she sets out for the university to endure dry lectures on world history, write up a boring research paper in psychology, and to take a grueling exam for her theology class. Then it's off to her full-time job as branch director of SPR's Ikebukuro office. It's a big responsibility and she feels proud Naru trusts her for the job. She's determined to prove he didn't make an error in judgment.
