Machete Style Anime

After reading the latest news, Yoshina clicked her tongue in amazement.

"I bet the person over there isn't very old."

Kurumi picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth. While chewing, she said casually, "No need to bet anymore, because everyone agrees with you."

Of the four people and one rabbit present, the ages of Tokisaki Kurumi and Nanami are a mystery. The age of the young Kurumi is based on the period when the former wanted to fall in love, when she was seventeen years old, and it is now a mystery as well.

Although Yoshino is seventeen, she spends all her time with a bunch of older female gamers and plays visual novels, so her mental age is hard to guess.

In this situation, how could one possibly be frightened by a baseless claim about a child?

Rather, this statement actually solidified their resolve.

—The person opposite me can't be very old.

However, despite being a lie, this statement wasn't entirely without effect.

Provoked, Kurumi Tokisaki's smile gradually turned malicious. After a flurry of actions, she pressed the send button and sent the message.

"The diligent slacker: No wonder Mom told me the person across the street was a scammer. Dad only has me as his child, and my stepmother and the others confirmed that."

…………………………………………………………………………

"Clap!"

"hiss!"

Because lying face down while using her phone puts too much pressure on her shoulders, Rumi Tsurumi adjusted to a lying position on her back after a while.

The latest message she received contained such a staggering amount of information that, in her excitement, she lost her grip and was hit in the face by the falling phone.

After letting out a cry of pain, she gently rubbed the spot where she had been hit, staring at the latest news on her phone as it began to surface.

"Mom? Dad? Stepmother?"

"Could it be that Future already has a child? How could Sister Qiong allow Future to marry someone else?"

Just then, she suddenly remembered something, and the expression on her face gradually stiffened.

"It seems... Yukino-nee married Mirai in her previous life, and Sora-nee didn't object too much at the time."

"Considering the mention of 'stepmother' in this message, it's highly likely that Sister Qiong is with Mirai along with another unsuspecting girl..."

After following this line of thought for a short while, her expression froze on her face once again.

"For a child to express their thoughts so fluently, even with adult guidance, they would need to be at least five or six years old."

If I remember correctly, Future is only seventeen this year; five or six years ago she was eleven or twelve.

"Excluding the ten months of pregnancy, it's simply impossible for someone around ten years old to have had that kind of relationship with someone."

"Furthermore, the requirement is that the child must hit the target on the first shot before the age of ten. If that's not possible, it might have to be pushed back another year or two."

"...That guy on the other end is messing with me!"

After reaching a conclusion, Tsurumi Rumi pouted, picked up her phone, and re-edited and sent a message.

"I wish to win one person's heart: I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have made such a joke, but who are you anyway?"

…………………………………………………………………………

Since the other party had already backed down and admitted defeat, Tokisaki Kurumi, who had already deduced that the other party was not very old, naturally could not argue with a child any longer. She deleted the message she had prepared in response to the other party's possible reply and sent a new message.

"The diligent slacker: We're his girlfriends."

As for whether the other side possesses memories of the past, like the Yukinoshita sisters...

Since we've already added each other as friends, there's plenty of time to gather information later; there's no need to rush.

Chapter 162 Another Girlfriend? [5k]

Kasugano Mirai, who has now been turned into a cat and sent to Yukino Yukinoshita's place, is naturally unaware of what happened back home.

Besides, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't have time to deal with the issue.

—When the second young lady confided in him as a cat, she mentioned the word "rebirth," which acted like a key, causing many memories to surface in his mind.

If it were just visuals, for him it would be nothing more than watching a movie he acted in.

Even if the film is based on a story he personally experienced, the result would still be the same.

After all, his timeline has already been rewritten, and even if some instinctive memories remain deep within him, they are ultimately no match for reality.

From his perspective, on the current timeline, he and Yukino Yukinoshita are just good friends, and what the other person thinks is their business.

But these suddenly added video clips are not just video clips.

The vivid memories not only made Kasugano Mirai understand why Yukino Yukinoshita had treated him so badly back then, but also awakened his sincere feelings for her, making his feelings for her very complicated now.

—On one side is the instinctive rejection and resistance, and on the other side is the deep affection and lingering love that has touched the heart.

Two contradictory emotions, in conflict, yet coexist harmoniously.

A thousand thoughts, ten thousand frustrations, all finally dissipated into a long sigh.

"Meow~~~"

……

"Although I don't know which powerful figure rewrote my timeline, the outcome was obvious from the start."

"Even though my first meeting with Yukino was like oil and water, I ultimately chose to stay in the Service Club."

Even though I was so resistant to Yukino, I was willing to do my best to help her when she encountered difficulties.

"Even though I'm so resistant to Haruno, when we eat together, I always manage to pick dishes that perfectly suit her taste. When I see her sprain her ankle or hear that she's been drugged, I get worried and anxious, to the point of losing my composure."

……

"It's all because I, or rather, the me from the previous timeline, still harbored feelings and care for them deep down."

Even if these fragments of memory don't rekindle past feelings today, I still don't want to see them fall into someone else's arms and marry another person in the future.

……

"Based on the current situation and the fragments of memory I've recalled, it seems that in that timeline, Haruno-nee started a secret relationship with me under the same pretext."

"Sister's Donburi... and that doesn't even include the possibility of Yui and Isshiki."

"Looking at it this way, I guess I was pretty greedy. It's not entirely unreasonable that Yukino cut off that timeline."

……

"However, considering the current situation, it seems my memories have been sealed away by that powerful figure."

"In other words, my inability to recall the plot might not be because, as I initially thought, the memories became blurred due to the long period of reincarnation, but rather because they were sealed away along with the original memories."

"The improvement in culinary skills, academic performance, medical skills, and other knowledge and skills can also be reasonably explained."

"Because the knowledge is ingrained in their very being, they won't be forgotten even if the timeline is altered."

"Similar to Origami Tobiichi in Date A Live, whose timeline was rewritten by the Twelfth Bullet."

Even if memories are completely gone, the instincts etched deep within the body remain.

……

……

……

The girl's soft, jade-like hands stroked Kasugano Mirai's head back and forth, while her other hand reached under his chin and gently scratched it.

It was so comfortable that its long, fluffy tail kept swaying behind it.

To be fair, being turned into a cat did have some impact on him.

After all, the Seven Sins' Thousand Transformations Mirror ability isn't some deceptive trick; when it says it can turn into a cat, it really does.

In other words, the young woman is sensible and doesn't want her boyfriend to actually turn into a cat in the future, without the ability to fully activate his powers.

Otherwise, when he recovers in the future, the conflict between his humanity and his animalistic instincts could very well turn him into a mentally ill person.

"Hey, Kuroyuki, do you think I should invite my future self on Qixi Festival?"

The unexpected problem set off alarm bells in Kasugano Mirai's mind.

"No, please!"

Although Japan's Qixi Festival is different from China's Qixi Festival, young men and women generally treat it as Valentine's Day.

He didn't know about the others, but his sister, who was far away in Tokyo, would definitely invite him on a date that day.

In previous years, the brother and sister would go out to see a movie and have a meal on Qixi Festival.

This doesn't even include the childhood sweethearts and the several fairy girlfriends in the family who might join.

If we include all these people, we could stage a wedding that divides the bride into six equal parts.

—The sixth person is Yukino Yukinoshita.

Admittedly, given the young lady's personality, she might not care about such holidays, but if she can be indifferent, can Kasugano Mirai really ignore them?

Putting everything else aside, he spent the day with all the other girlfriends, but left the young lady out. Do you believe that the harem will be thrown into chaos?

Anyway, he didn't dare to risk gambling on that possibility.

Already overwhelmed with work, if the second young lady were to get involved at this time, Kasugano Mirai felt that her storyline was not far from being restarted.

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur.

Perhaps it was because the two were not currently in a romantic relationship, or perhaps it was out of consideration for her sister-in-law who lived far away in Tokyo.

In conclusion, Yukino Yukinoshita's final decision was not to invite them.

"Fine, I'll just stay home and play with you that day."

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Mirai, who was now in the form of a cat, suddenly twitched her whiskers and her eyes darted around, looking quite guilty.

"Although Seven Sins didn't tell me when she would restore me to my original state, she probably wouldn't miss a festival like Tanabata."

"So, at the latest, I might be able to regain my human form by the Qixi Festival?"

"So here's the question: what will happen to Yukino when I'm gone?"

My gut feeling tells me that Yang Nai is very likely to cause trouble.
