I really don't want to be reborn.

She didn't say anything, kept walking with her head down, and was extremely depressed, much like a character in an anime about to turn evil.

Kousaka Kyosuke was worried, so he stayed with them.

That barbaric, heartless brat won't just go and beat up all the people who were watching her earlier, will she?

Shino stopped and sighed, "I'm going to buy some clothes to change into. Are you coming with me?"

"Can't?"

"reason."

"I seriously doubt your common sense about aesthetics."

The girl frowned: "What do you mean?"

He felt a bit tired even before noon: "I'll help you pick out clothes. Can you pick out clothes yourself? Do you know how to put a burlap sack on your body?"

After much persuasion, they finally managed to change her into a more cheerful outfit, and her shoes were changed to boots. Shino stomped her feet awkwardly, not because she was shy, but because she wasn't used to these shoes that were inconvenient for running.

"Is this outfit alright?"

Kyosuke was proud of his aesthetic sense.

Although Kirino hadn't been very close to him since sixth grade and hadn't allowed him to change his clothes freely, he had dealt with some fashion designers before, so clothing matching wasn't a problem for him.

"so so."

Sinon remained expressionless.

"But you were clearly smiling when you looked in the mirror after you changed... Okay, fine, if you say it's just so-so, then it's just so-so. I don't want to argue with you."

This girl is too fierce.

Especially the predatory look in the eyes of a feline.

He was afraid of being beaten up in the street by a cute little girl—who would be his future sister-in-law; that would be too embarrassing.

He took her back to the park, where they met her classmates at the Mitsubishi Second Shipyard dormitory.

This place displays some artifacts related to navigation, but unfortunately, the students who were initially interested were now completely captivated by the little girl next to Kyosuke Kousaka.

"Oh my, Kousaka is actually a legendary lolicon!"

"No, no, no, that's Kasumigaoka-san's younger sister, so—"

"So it seems they're aiming to win over both sisters!"

He pulled Shino up to the second floor of the Mitsubishi Shipyard Memorial Hall to avoid the questions from his classmates, wiping his sweat in a somewhat embarrassed manner: "Gossipy women aren't scary, but dozens of gossipy women are quite frightening."

"Hey."

"Ok?"

"What do they mean by 'both sisters getting together'?"

Sinon asked very seriously, but Kyosuke Kousaka had already become wary of her because he found that when necessary, this girl's acting skills were just as good as his own, and it was hard to tell what was real and what was fake.

Therefore, you should be careful with your answers.

His answer was quite cautious: "It means accepting both your and your sister's hymens at the same time..."

Be damn careful.

Also, my pure and lovely Uncle Jellyfish (or Auntie for short) gave me 300 razor blades, which is urging me to update—please keep urging me! Thank you very much.

They're all big shots...

Chapter Forty: Another Love Letter, Love Climbs to the Next Floor

Looking down from the second floor, you can see many beautiful views, as this location is arguably the highest point in the entire Gloucester Park.

Since the park itself is located on a hill, one can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Nagasaki Harbor from a low vantage point. As far as the eye can see, there are rows of mansions, and if you look to the left, you can see the Goddess Bridge in Nagasaki Harbor.

"A fish, a really big fish!"

Shi's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something interesting.

That look in her eyes was so rare that Kyosuke Kosaka always felt that the child not only lacked common sense, but also seemed to lack some emotional intelligence.

"You're actually that interested? Let's go down and take a look!"

Behind the exhibition hall is a lake, and even from the second floor, you can see the clear bottom of the lake, where big red and green carp are swimming freely.

She squatted by the lake, her slender, pale fingers hesitantly dipping into the water. Finding the temperature bearable, she began to twirl her fingers, scaring away the red carp on the shore.

For reasons unknown, the women's autumn clothes he chose were not conservative; in fact, they revealed a glimpse of the waist, especially when she squatted down.

From his angle, he could clearly see the soft, white jade-like skin on Shino's waist; he knew without touching it that it was as tender as tofu.

Kousaka Kyosuke stood behind her, shaking his head to clear his mind of the chaos. Whenever he saw Shino, he would think of her sister's beauty and fragrance, and he would drift off into a daze without realizing it.

"boom!"

A muffled sound came from below; it was the sound of Shino's fingers tapping in the water. In less than a few minutes, she had gotten her trouser legs and shoes a little wet.

What are you doing? Playing in the water?

"fish."

"Huh? What's wrong with the carp?"

The girl raised her small face, her brows furrowed, a hint of grievance in her expression: "They all ran away in fright, I couldn't catch them."

"Stop fooling around. If you want to eat fish, I'll make it for you when we get back."

She glared at the man: "I'm not making a scene."

Sinon bent down, picked up a small stone from the ground, squinted, and threw it into the lake. She threw it with great force, but her accuracy wasn't quite there yet, and she couldn't hit the fish that didn't want to play with her.

She tried this several times, and then glared at him again.

"what?"

"Throw!"

"what?"

"Stone."

...I understand, I understand.

Now we can basically understand that Kasumigaoka's sister and her sister have the same trait - they rarely speak their minds, and what they want and what they want to do still needs to be guessed by those around them.

Compared to Kirino, the one in front of her is more domineering, speaks more concisely, and has fewer expressions, so it is naturally more difficult to guess.

Kyosuke reluctantly picked up a few small stones and pretended to throw them into the water. Naturally, he didn't catch a single fish, but the splashing water soaked a foreign friend's backside.

"Look, if you can't hit it, then naturally I can't either."

After he finished speaking, Miss Sinon poked his waist with her delicate little finger: "No, you didn't use any force at all."

His face froze.

The little girl poked and poked at the sensitive areas with her fingers, which not only caused itching but also a strange sensation that accelerated the secretion of dopamine.

Brother-in-law, I'm so excited!

Don't touch it, little one.

Completely unaware, she looked up at him, her brows furrowed with displeasure: "Your technique is very skilled. What are you hiding your strength for?"

There were no beating around the bush; the words were straightforward and to the point.

Kyosuke was slightly surprised, but quickly smiled faintly: "It's just your imagination. I'm just an ordinary high school student, a Japanese high school student."

The poem then fell silent.

The two left the lake and came to a wide open area, a tourist attraction left over from the heyday of international trade, most famous for its so-called heart-shaped rock.

The ground is not a cement road, but many oddly shaped stones. Legend has it that if a couple finds two heart-shaped stones together and touches them with their hands, they will be blessed with unbreakable love and happiness.

These two idle fellows just wandered around staring at the ground. Occasionally, Kyosuke Kosaka bumped into other tourists who were also looking for the heart-shaped stone and found the legend quite interesting.

Especially for single men and women, out of curiosity or boredom, they might bump into each other for this reason, and maybe even spark a romance—so it seems that the legend isn't so far-fetched after all.

"Thump! Ouch..."

This time, the person who was bumped into was a girl. He quickly looked up, and his apologetic expression suddenly turned complicated: "This is the second time I've seen you lose your composure like this. Please be careful when you walk, Squirrel."

"You're quite adept at accusing others first, Kousaka-kun."

"The restroom is over there, please don't be shy."

The beautiful girl, rubbing her forehead and groaning in pain, frowned, then smiled, her eyes filled with a hint of surprise and amusement. Her twin ponytails swayed, releasing a playful fragrance into the autumn breeze.

Don't stand me up the day after tomorrow!

After saying this, Ogiso Setsuna didn't linger. She walked away with her companions, only smiling and waving to him.

I had promised her that we would go shopping together on the third day of our free time. I thought it was just a polite remark, but I actually took it seriously.

They left so gracefully, without any hesitation.

Hmm, the evaluation of Ogiso Setsuna needs to be raised a bit.

"That woman is flirting with you."

"...That's not true."

"You actually gave her a disgusting smile as she walked away?"

"Little Shina, you're just a child, you don't quite understand the things between us adults—besides, if I don't smile at her, am I supposed to cry to her?"

Shina nodded: "Crying is okay."

Kyosuke Kosaka turned his back; talking to a child like her would shorten his lifespan.

However, the other party was clearly persistent: "I can tell, she's flirting with you."

"That's just someone I know."

“If she’s an acquaintance, she should know you have a girlfriend, so why would she still try to seduce you? Mom says that kind of woman is shameless.”
