I really don't want to be reborn.

"Anyway, Kousaka, I'm not teaming up with you this time."

Red-haired Akagi gave a thumbs up: "I was with my club friends this time, so I apologize to Kousaka."

Kyosuke was indeed indifferent to this matter: "I know about the various interpersonal issues involved, and the conflicts that are usually buried may erupt in the group at this time."

"Ah, that's truly profound."

"I'm quite familiar with social sciences. To be honest, there aren't really any overly withdrawn people in our class, so there's no need to worry about it..."

"Yes, even the only reclusive one took a six-month leave of absence from school."

Yes, the head of the Literature Department is known throughout the school for her aloofness and sharp tongue, just like her beauty and figure.

He didn't take it to heart; his only concern was to correct his sister's dependency issues during this trip.

Kyosuke Kosaka decides he won't call Kirino even once during his trip! He has to leave her alone!

He simply couldn't bear to use any other effective methods on his sister.

So for now, we'll just let it cool down.

Suddenly my phone vibrated; I received an email from a squirrel.

Just reading the words makes me imagine the other person's swaying twin tails.

"Kousaka-kun, where are you going on your school trip?"

"Chiba".

"I'm serious!"

"Okay, it's Nagasaki. Where's Ogiso-kun?"

There was a minute of silence on the other end before a reply came: "Me too, from Nagasaki..."

Kosaka fell into deep thought.

He had a vague feeling that fate was about to play tricks on him again.

"Is Kogiso's class divided into groups?"

"Yes, that's right—I'll see who invites me to team up."

He smirked: "I thought you were the type who wasn't popular with girls in class."

"Although I don't know what kind of impression you have of me, I have never been troubled by this kind of grouping since I was a child."

A very contemporary statement.

If only girls form a team, then conflicts will indeed decrease because there will be no male gaze.

Teenage boys often do strange things to attract girls' attention because they care about their gaze, and they also frequently have internal conflicts.

This principle also applies to girls.

"Ah~~, it would be even better if our school could go to Okinawa or something. Going to the Kansai region always feels too heavy."

"I think I'll pass on going to Okinawa in the fall or winter."

Hearing Akagi's complaint, Kyosuke gave a perfunctory reply, then looked at his phone, raised an eyebrow, and said it was no surprise.

"Kousaka-kun, how about we go shopping together sometime?"

He frowned in thought, and was about to refuse when a new message came from the other end.

"It's exhausting to be around people who aren't friends."

Knowing that the guy had a habit of going to karaoke to sing and vent his feelings when he was in college, he didn't feel like refusing: "I have no objection to going shopping together on the free day."

After school, he noticed several girls from his class gathered around the door, seemingly chattering noisily. One of them spoke in a cold voice.

"Have you said enough, you bunch of sows?"

He walked over with a wry smile, and sure enough, he saw the petite Miss Shino looking indifferently at the group of high school girls in front of her, and then her gaze fell on him: "What my sister said is right, the girls in your school are really bad."

"Your sister was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Several girls exclaimed in astonishment: "Kousaka-kun, do you know this girl? She's so infuriating!"

“Kasumigaoka Utaha’s younger sister.”

"..."

The boy smiled at them: "Let's go have coffee together. It's on me today, as an apology to this guy. Don't be offended."

Inside the coffee shop, Shino watched him flirt with several girls with a blank expression, then sent their conversation to her sister word for word.

If it's called surveillance, then it should be comprehensive surveillance.

This girl, who carried out her sister's request to the letter, lacked common sense and actually used the same tactics she used during regular tasks.

She would follow Kyosuke Kosaka everywhere except home and school.

She arrived at Ben Zhan High School two hours earlier and waited for him to finish school—the gatekeeper looked at her strangely, thinking that the girl was unfamiliar.

She, on the other hand, cautiously surveyed the campus ahead.

She didn't rush into this place, or rather, she couldn't understand it; she only knew it was a place where a group of people studied.

Although she felt that their carefree attitude was not at all like studying, she was still very interested in life here, especially when she saw many people running and shouting on the playground through the green belt one day.

That aggressive voice made Shino even more cautious.

As they left the coffee shop, Kyosuke Kosaka looked at her and said, "Why did you insult others? Is this how your sister taught you?"

“They were talking badly about my sister when they came out, and it’s wrong to talk badly about people.”

"..."

Ah, it's normal for girls to say mean and bad things about someone in private.

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at her: "Your sister never cares about what others say, so why are you so angry? And you even started arguing in the street? I think you're an idiot."

Shino clenched her little fist.

unhappy.

Boom!

It thundered.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Will life ever be as sweet as it is now?

"It's going to be published! It's going to be published!"

Kyosuke Kosaka was in a good mood, so he decided to tell his sister some good news. He had originally planned to surprise her, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell her in advance.

Hopefully, this pleasant atmosphere will prevent Kirino from having a bad mood during his three-day school trip.

"Onii-chan! I'm going to publish a book!"

Sure enough, Kirino had been excited all day, and when she came back in the evening, she was still in a very excited state, rolling around on her bed, making "yahoo" noises all the time.

"It's going to be published! It's going to be published!"

"Okay, okay, can you just shut up for a second?"

He sat in front of the computer, turned his head to look at his sister rolling around on the bed, and couldn't help but laugh: "I don't think you were this happy when you came in first place last year, or this excited when you beat the game."

"That's completely different!"

"Oh?"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked down at her. The girl rolling around on the bed was wearing loose pajamas, and she was obviously not wearing a bra underneath.

In the brief moments between rolling around, the restless little white rabbit would inevitably peek out a little, fleeting with each movement. Unfortunately, Kyosuke Kosaka had excellent eyesight and not only caught that instant but also vaguely saw the little white rabbit's red eyes.

Trembling...

"Kirino!"

As a dutiful older brother, Kyosuke Kosaka sternly pointed out how inappropriate her behavior was: "Put your clothes on properly, you're exposing yourself!"

Kirino's rolling motion froze instantly, like a panda that had been unexpectedly stuffed into a refrigerator.

His gaze naturally wouldn't linger on his sister's chest; after a quick glance, it slowly moved downwards.

Wearing only shorts, her shapely, fair, and slender legs were displayed under the lights. Her thighs, which appeared somewhat firm and rounded from long-term running, were smooth and white, with no visible blemishes.

Under his probing gaze, Kirino stiffened, slowly curling herself into a ball, her lips trembling: "You actually peeked at your own sister's private parts, you...you..."

"No, I didn't peek. To be honest, you're not a perverted siscon like Akagi Kohei."

Kirino's voice was filled with exasperation. Why didn't he learn from Akagi instead of being so exasperated!

Of course, her innate pride made her quickly hide under her brother's blanket: "Then why are you still looking! Close your eyes!"

"I didn't look at it on purpose, but to be honest, I do find it a little strange."

He got up and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Looking down at her younger sister, Kirino's pouting face made her want to laugh, and she gently stroked Kirino's head: "What I'm wondering is, why haven't you blushed from just now until now?"

Kirino blinked.

Why blush?

The body—yes, a young girl's beautiful body, isn't it only natural to show it to the one she loves without reservation? Isn't it only natural for a younger sister to show herself to her older brother without reservation?

The person stroking their head was someone who had been bathing with them a few years ago, and sleeping naked together in each other's arms. Back then, they hadn't even blushed.

Kyosuke didn't know.

His beloved sister had long since lost all sense of shame in front of him, leaving only a last bit of powder to cover it up, which she would eventually reveal to him without reservation one day.

Whether it's the body or the mind.

The moment her eyes met her brother's, she saw herself completely unashamed, her mind at peace, without uttering a sound. All shyness had vanished, and though she was nestled in the blankets, she felt as if she were lying inside the case of a broken pocket watch.

Kyosuke lowered his eyes, avoiding Kirino's unusual gaze.

Something is wrong...

"Snapped!"
