I really don't want to be reborn.

"Clap clap clap."

They brushed past the beautiful girl with long, straight black hair who played the piano.

They exchanged a glance, then remained indifferent.

………………

I really want to have sex...

Thanks to my ship girl not being cute for the massive amount of blades.

Yes, for someone like me who's a lazy bum, fifty razor blades is a huge transaction.

Chapter Twenty: A Plea to the Emperor Not to Waste His Golden Robe

It is early autumn now.

The mornings in Chiba are misty and sunless.

Kyosuke Kosaka woke up from his deep sleep and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.

Yu Guangzhong saw a figure standing less than a meter from his bedside, silent.

"..."

To be honest, this scene is a bit scary.

He woke up to find an unknown person standing by his bed. Thanks to his strong mental fortitude, although he was immediately startled awake, he didn't jump out of bed.

His first reaction was annoyance at forgetting to lock the door last night, and his second reaction was whether the person who scared him was his sister.

"Who is it? Kirino?"

The lights in the room were turned on.

The soft, warm yellow light from the underfloor heating system poured down.

Standing at the head of his bed was a young girl with long, brown hair that wasn't tied into pigtails but simply draped down her back, wearing her own off-the-shoulder nightgown.

Soft light shone on the girl's rounded shoulders, and looking down, one could see the gentle curves of her body, made even more graceful by the loose fit of her pajamas.

He knew who it was as soon as he saw the pajamas. He exhaled, blinked, and saw the girl's face clearly.

"Knock on the door..."

"Oh, sorry."

The girl apologized with a smile, slowly retreated to the door, and knocked three times in a very ladylike manner.

“…Ogiso Setsuna, explain your current behavior.”

He sat up, his dark eyes sweeping over the girl in front of him.

Unmoved.

They seemed oblivious to Setsuna's girlish charm, so different from her daytime demeanor, as if they were facing a pile of inorganic matter.

The girl innocently spread her hands: "Auntie asked me to wake you up."

Kyosuke hesitated, pointing at her disheveled hair: "You..."

"I'm thinking of getting a new hairstyle today—do you think pigtails would be better, or this one?"

"Baldness is best."

Despite being told something offensive, Kogiso wasn't angry at all. Instead, he sat down at his desk and looked around, like a little squirrel searching for food.

"Kousaka-kun has so many books in his room."

Instead of touching his manuscript, he pulled a book from the shelf and found it to be an English edition of "Selected Works of Shakespeare." He exclaimed in admiration a few times and then picked up another book.

Many of the books on Kyosuke's bookshelf are foreign language editions.

Her English is quite good; she can understand some English versions, but now her expression is becoming increasingly stiff, and her confident demeanor has long since vanished.

It was the first time she had ever entered a boy's room other than her brother's.

I was amazed by the cleanliness and the monotony of the room.

There were no posters of sports or games that boys like, or photos of their favorite female celebrities.

Of course, there were no items that girls would like...

The only suspicious thing was the A-V discs and animation discs—and they were placed openly on the shelf, as if they were afraid that others would not see them!

Ogiso Setsuna calmly ignored those things, and then she was shoved in the face with a pile of foreign language books.

Not only did she find works in Chinese, English, and French, but she even discovered original works in Russian and Arabic.

How many languages ​​do you actually know, Kosaka-san?

This is really unfair to Setsuna, who is so confident and speaks excellent English!

"I've changed my clothes."

"Go ahead and change it, I'm not going to peek."

Kyosuke Kosaka stared speechlessly at the figure sitting in front of the computer: "The book you're holding is Whitman's poetry collection. I don't think that would suit your taste."

Setsuna exclaimed in surprise, "This is a collection of poems?"

"...Don't do that, Whitman will cry."

She tapped her chin lightly with her finger: "When you mention Whitman, I'm reminded of that woman who held the throne of the most powerful women for six consecutive years."

By this time, Kosaka had already changed her clothes: "You admire that kind of strong woman? It seems glamorous, but it's really too tiring."

"Maybe……"

…………

The father and daughter, Kogiso, said goodbye and left early this morning.

Where is Kirino?

"Still sleeping."

Daisuke's father looked displeased, feeling that his daughter was very impolite. Of course, he couldn't urge his son to wake his daughter up right now.

Ultimately, the father still spoils Kirino.

Daisuke was talking to Susumu Ogiso about some work-related matters, while his mother pulled Setsuna aside and said a few words like "Come over and play often," then winked at him and walked back to the entrance.

"Ah, actually I think Chiba is pretty good, not as noisy as Tokyo..."

"I've never been to Disneyland before."

"I just don't know if there will be a chance this winter..."

Kyosuke Kosaka watched her quietly.

He didn't say a word.

Under his gentle gaze, Ogiso Setsuna's voice grew softer and softer until it was completely inaudible.

"I have a very important favor to ask you."

He said this with a very serious expression: "To be precise, it's a piece of advice."

Before she could speak, Kyosuke walked up to her and said, "Please don't fall in love with me, please."

"what?"

She swayed her pigtails: "What...does this mean?"

I don't understand why he, who is usually so polite, would suddenly say something like that.

I feel... quite certain that I will fall in love with him.

He's become arrogant. It turns out that his humility yesterday and the day before was just a facade.

A courteous demeanor is primarily a manifestation of self-control.

He was also restraining himself from falling for this girl who was as cute as a squirrel, but had the inner devil of a princess.

"This advice... well, I'll remember it."

Ogiso Setsuna seemed a bit amused and exasperated, then jokingly said, "I think liking someone who probably won't like me back is a difficult and useless thing."

"Yes."

"But if... you really like someone, you should still try to win them over. What a boring life it would be if you didn't even try to win over the person you like."

Kyosuke Kosaka's expression was complicated.

Looking at the expression on his face, Yukina suddenly smiled, her smile as beautiful as a new moon emerging from the clouds: "I didn't say I've fallen for Kousaka-kun right now. It feels like you've known me for a long time, and you're talking strangely..."

He thought to himself, a woman's sixth sense is truly terrifying.

The sun has risen, but it doesn't look very bright; it's shrouded in dark clouds, like an egg cracked into flour.

Her features were exquisite, and her smile was as bright as the moon.

For a fleeting moment, he seemed genuinely captivated by this guy.

"Is this actually our first time meeting?"

"should be."

She took a step back.

With her hands behind her back, she playfully leaned forward slightly, flashing a bright and gentle smile: "In that case, let's get to know each other again. My name is Ogiso Setsuna! I'm a female student at Mineoshiro High School. Nice to meet you."

"Kousaka Kyosuke, the famous school heartthrob, please give me your guidance."

They all laughed at the same time.

Ogiso Setsuna glanced at her father and saw that they were still talking. Her smile suddenly turned mischievous: "Kousaka-kun, do you know that your sister talks in her sleep at night?"

"I...didn't notice that."

"She keeps calling your name in her dreams, your name, Kyosuke, Kyosuke and stuff..."

Kyosuke shook his head: "I don't believe it."

"Just kidding, that's so boring."
