I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Yuza Shirou, having lived a normal life until today, felt that it was time for his time to come. The sense of déjà vu wouldn't disappear, so he directly announced his retirement.

He withdrew from the ordinary campus drama and his ordinary life as a petty hoodlum.

Life is short, and before reaching the end, Silang wants to try all the possible options.

"That's enough complaining, Ren. The point of this call is to inform you that you've reached a turning point in your life, and it's a choice that was predetermined long ago. If you're still stuck in that ordinary, mundane life you love, you'll really drown this time, and you'll be very unwilling to accept it."

After saying that, Silang hung up the phone, this time with an unclear meaning... no... perhaps Fujii Ren already knew.

Just as Silang said, he was still happily indulging in the daily life he loved.

Sharks and various predators have come to surround her, and she doesn't want to make any changes.

I'm not reconciled. Si Lang is right. Continuing like this will only lead to more resentment.

"Lian, I'm ready, we can go now."

Suddenly, while Fujii Ren was lost in thought, Ayase Kasumi opened the door and walked in with a lively and energetic air.

Kasumi looked at Fujii Ren, who was still completely unkempt, and after washing up and getting ready, she became a little angry and said:

"You're really wasting your beautiful girl looks."

"Huh? I don't care what other people think."

Fujii Ren can be described as a beautiful young woman, but due to her eccentric personality since childhood, she has no friends other than Kasumi and Shirou who she can have normal conversations with.

She was born that way, and she didn't care much about the attention she attracted because of her looks. She just wanted to enjoy her daily life quietly.

"No, no, I have to dress up a bit." Ayase Kasumi said without waiting for a reply, and led the resistant Fujii Ren to get dressed.

The agreed-upon time was only half an hour later when I was finally ready to leave.

So, don't girls feel tired of wasting so much effort on dressing up?

Walking down the street, with a scarf knitted by Xiang Chun around her neck and winter clothes prepared by Xiang Chun, Fujii Ren thought with a slightly helpless expression.

"By the way, Xiangchun, where are we going next?"

Although they had agreed to go shopping today, the destination was still undecided. Fujii Ren looked at Kasumi beside him and asked.

Upon hearing this, Ayase Kasumi touched her chin, thought for a moment, and then smiled somewhat embarrassedly, saying, "I'd like to go see that world-famous sword exhibition hall that just opened recently. I know you hate swords, Ren, but I still want to go. Sorry."

Fujii Ren hates swords, as Ayase Kasumi knows very well. However, Ayase Kasumi is a top member of the kendo club and has even won awards in the national tournament. Her passion for swords is completely opposite to that of Fujii Ren.

Upon hearing that it was about watching sword fights, Fujii Ren surprisingly felt no resistance today; instead, he seemed to have a sense of anticipation and premonition.

However, she does hate swords, for reasons that cannot be stated openly.

"Okay, let's just consider it as overcoming the feeling of rejection."

After all, Kasumi is a member of the kendo club, so it's normal for her to like swords. And Fujii Ren is a man who doesn't care about human feelings.

"Hehe, that's great! Let's go eat at that restaurant first... Oops!" Hearing that Fujii Ren had agreed, Ayase Kasumi pulled him along, but accidentally bumped into someone and heard a child's exclamation.

Fujii Ren sighed, thinking to herself, "This carefree and energetic girl is really something." Looking at the person Kasumi had bumped into, she realized that he was indeed a child.

However, she is also a girl so cute that it makes one feel infinitely guilty. Her hair is as blue and slightly curly as ocean waves, her blue eyes are trembling like those of a small animal, her dreamlike appearance and petite figure make her a little loli who is cute and adorable to the max.

Kasumi Ayase felt guilty for knocking down such a cute little girl, and with the little girl's timid eyes, Kasumi herself was probably panicking.

"I'm so sorry, big sister, I didn't mean it. Are you alright?"

Looking at the child in front of her, Ayase Kasumi immediately apologized like an older sister and carefully helped Yoshino up.

"Oh dear, what a careless older sister! She actually bumped into our adorable Yoshino! She should commit seppuku... Waaaaah~~"

"Yoshino!"

Yoshino, who had been helped up, wasn't really angry with Kasumi to begin with, but now that Yoshina was speaking in a sarcastic tone, she panicked and quickly covered her mouth. At that moment, she felt her heart was about to explode from shame, and it was pounding in her chest.

However, Ayase Kasumi wasn't angry at Yoshina's words; instead, she was completely stunned.

Looking at the shy and timid little girl clutching her rabbit hand puppet, her cuteness is simply beyond words.

And there are two voices, is it ventriloquism? This setting is so cute.

However, Fujii Ren didn't think so. The cute little guy in front of her was clearly not acting on his own. This rabbit... seemed to be alive, or rather, had its own consciousness.

Could this little girl have a split personality?

"So your name is Yoshino? You're so cute." Ayase Kasumi felt a tickle in her heart, barely suppressing the urge to hug and rub against the other person the next second.

However, we can't do that kind of thing, since we're not familiar with each other.

"My name is Ayase Kasumi. I'm so sorry for bumping into you earlier."

It was a very sincere apology. Yoshino could tell just by looking into the other person's eyes, let alone seeing their soul. So, she spoke in a quiet and mature way, like a little adult:

"No, it's okay, big sister didn't mean it, but you should watch where you're going next time."

"Oh dear, I've been lectured by a child."

Kasumi Ayase chuckled and scratched the back of her head, not feeling angry or embarrassed at all, after all, the person she was disciplining was such a cute little guy.

I wish this sensible, obedient, and polite little girl were her sister; I'd love to spoil her rotten.

"Ah, Xiao Si, what are you doing here? Did Yoshina lead you around again?"

Suddenly, a pretty and clear voice came from not far away. Kasumi and Fujii Ren turned their heads and saw a beautiful girl with long, knee-length purple hair and eyes of an incredible crystal color. She was carrying a whole bag of soybean flour bread in both hands and on her wrists.

Judging from the affectionate tone, it was someone the little girl knew. Upon arriving, the person noticed the rabbit hand puppet in the little girl's hand and spoke in a rather annoyed tone, saying:

"Tch, she's clearly a glutton who's been led around by soybean flour bread. She took our Yoshino out shopping, but all she cared about was eating."

"Who's a glutton, you stinky rabbit? I'm just buying food for Yoshina too." As soon as Yatogami Tohka heard Yoshina's voice, the silly smile on her face immediately disappeared, and she glared at Yoshina with gritted teeth.

Yoshina's rabbit body made a helpless and disdainful gesture with both hands, pointed her little finger at Tohka's lips, and said:

"Before you say that, wipe the food crumbs off your mouth."

"Ugh..." Tohka instinctively reached up to wipe her mouth, but there was nothing there. She immediately said angrily, "You tricked me again!"

"You're stupid and you blame others~" Yoshina's tone was still infuriating.

When Kasumi and Fujii Ren saw this childlike behavior, their first impression of the girl in front of them, who seemed to have a big appetite, was that she was naive and innocent.

Although she looks like a young girl, she seems to be a child at heart, which makes her look cute and lovable.

"No, don't fight." Yoshino covered Yoshina's mouth, then stepped forward and grabbed Tohka's sleeve, then looked at Tohka and said, "Sister, are you still waiting for us?"

"Ah, I almost forgot about the important matter." Tohka suddenly realized that she had something important to do and immediately tried to pull Yoshino away.

Before leaving, Yoshino politely said goodbye to Kasumi and Ren Fujii, and the two of them also politely responded.

"What a lovely child, but the older sister seems a little unreliable."

Kasumi Ayase watched the two adorable figures, one big and one small, disappear into the distance, and remarked with a sigh.

Upon hearing this, Fujii Ren, who was standing next to him, was speechless. In some ways, you're no better than that purple-haired girl. Besides, that girl doesn't seem unreliable, she just gives off the feeling of a big kid.

She is so innocent and pure, incredibly clean. I really don't know what kind of environment this kind of girl grew up in; she's like a princess from a fairy tale.

.........

Afterwards, after finishing a meal, Fujii Ren was dragged into the museum by Kasumi. Let's skip the part about how she endured the dizziness while being led around the museum.

"Wow, this is amazing."

Inside the antique-style exhibition hall, Kasumi leaned over the display stand, looking at a Nepalese kukri through the glass, while leading Fujii Ren to the other side to look at a Western knight's sword.

Fujii Ren reluctantly accompanied Kasumi to watch, but ever since then, she has felt very uncomfortable whenever she sees this type of knife.

"How embarrassing, Ren. These things won't bite you, why are you so annoying?" Ayase Kasumi said with a hint of helplessness when she saw the indifference on Fujii Ren's face.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask... Do you have a reason for hating caterpillars?"

Although Kasumi didn't understand, unfortunately, Fujii Ren just hated these things for no reason, so she couldn't answer and could only give an example to ask him a question in return.

However, Ayase Kasumi is not like ordinary girls. After hearing this, she asked in a very unreserved manner, "Caterpillars are very cute, and they seem very strong."

"What about the cockroaches?" Fujii Ren asked again, unwilling to give up.

"If I see him, I'll just kill him."

Kasumi Ayase replied with a smile, her hands on her hips.

Sure enough, this woman's nerves are different from ordinary women, Fujii Ren thought to herself. Could it be that she really isn't averse to things that women dislike? She continued to ask, "Then... what about snakes?"

"Isn't it quite comfortable to have it wrapped around your body? It feels cool and refreshing."

Was it unexpected or expected? Sure enough, it was a huge mistake for Fujii Ren to expect her to have the sensibilities of a normal girl.

In short, Fujii Ren is physiologically unable to accept the existence of swords, while Kasumi, who is devoted to kendo, might find it very interesting, but she is completely different.

"We've pretty much covered everything, that's enough, let's go back."

"Huh?? Ren, you're so boring. You'll never find a boyfriend looking so weak." Upon hearing that Fujii Ren was about to back down, Ayase Kasumi puffed out her cheeks and grabbed his arm, preventing him from leaving.

We've only been here for less than ten minutes and we have to leave. Xiangchun still has so many swords she hasn't seen yet.

"That really is... uh..." Fujii Ren, who was already dizzy, suddenly felt a splitting headache. She would get dizzy at the sight of swords, but now it seemed like her condition had been aggravated.

"Hey! Ren, what's wrong?" Kasumi asked with some concern when she saw Fujii Ren holding his forehead and closing his eyes.

Is it really possible for someone to have such a severe reaction, like being allergic to swords or something? Are there really such symptoms?

Is there? Probably not, but Fujii Ren sensed something a level above swords in the mansion. It wasn't just uncomfortable; it had reached the level of pain.

"Sōjirō, I never thought something like this could be exhibited in this day and age. It looks like a very fragile sword."

"Some people love swords, but they are not swordsmen. Perhaps the historical significance of the sword is more important to them."

The sound of a man and a woman talking reached Fujii Ren's ears. The headache came from the man. Following his gaze, she saw a boy with delicate and pretty features, whose appearance was striking and could be described as beautiful, almost like a woman.

The other person gave Fujii Ren a splitting headache and a feeling of disgust. Despite being a human being, he gave her an uncomfortable feeling that made her dizzy, more so than any sword in the room.

Beside the boy was a woman with an ethereal beauty. Her long hair was tied into braids and hung down her back, and her chest was the size of an adult woman.

It's not an odd combination—a handsome man and a beautiful woman—they look like a couple, but Fujii Ren feels uncomfortable about it.

"Xiangchun, let's go somewhere else to look around."

With a splitting headache, Fujii Ren couldn't bear the feeling any longer. She pulled Kasumi along and headed to another exhibition hall, away from the couple who were giving her that strange feeling.

Mibu Sojiro, who was looking at the swords, seemed to sense something and turned his head to look in a direction where no one was.

"What's wrong, Sojiro?"
