I really don't want to be reborn.

The experienced driver in the driver's seat was thoroughly annoyed by their flirting and remained pitifully silent.

Chapter 51 Big Meow, Starting to Smooth Its Fur

After dropping Ogiso Setsuna off at the hotel where her school was located, Kosaka Kyosuke took a walk alone on the streets of Nagasaki.

Walking in this unfamiliar city, he would have the illusion of being in Europe, not because the surrounding buildings had anything to do with Europe, but because of the sense of unfamiliarity.

Some female students returning home late were laughing and joking as they passed by, their short skirts fluttering, their smiles adding a touch of spring to the late autumn evening.

In 2005, Nagasaki still retained its old houses, and you could see a pavilion every now and then along the street. He gazed at the pavilion in front of him, which maintained the style of the Tang Dynasty in China. It was simple and plain, and it was very lonely when the autumn wind fell.

This style makes him subconsciously think of Hanshan Temple in Suzhou.

Of course, this is just a simple pavilion for tourists to cool off and shelter from the rain; it lacks the Zen and tranquility of Hanshan Temple.

He sat here thinking, or rather, reminiscing.

Because this is the very beginning, in the distant past, during his first school trip, he realized here that Kasumigaoka Utaha was in love with him.

The fallen leaves on the bench are red and yellow, like dead butterflies. They drift slowly down in the wind, and the silhouette of time is pieced together from the initial fragments as the leaves flutter in the air.

There was someone there, giving him a slight smile.

After shyness comes boldness.

"Can we still be together in college, Kousaka-kun?"

"can."

Yes, that's what she told herself back then.

Extend an invitation to him with love.

This time, he spoke first, on a spring evening when a tram sped past them.

At the end of the street, the lights shone brightly, and the pavilion was silent. In this shadow, Kyosuke Kosaka released the memories that had been suppressed in his heart, and scene after scene clearly emerged.

I received an email on my phone.

"Shall we go back tomorrow?"

"Yes, my flight is tomorrow morning."

"We must bring Shino back completely!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha cares a lot about her younger sister, so much so that it makes him a little jealous: "Why do you only care about Shino? What about me? What about me?"

"You're so composed, why would I worry about you? Could it be that you finally couldn't resist and went to a brothel, Kousaka?!"

Xiao Shi's thought process became even more bizarre amidst the green hills and clear waters of Tottori. Kyosuke was somewhat annoyed by the question, but also somewhat... intrigued.

Come to think of it, he's never actually been to a brothel.

Of all the professions in society, he seems to be quite unfamiliar with the sex industry, so should we go and see for ourselves?

"You're not allowed to go! If you really can't resist—"

"Hmm, what if you can't resist?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, true to her reputation as a pure love author who frequently reads erotic novels, said: "If you can't resist, go find Akagi Kohei to solve it. Don't even think about touching Shino!"

Hey, that's going too far!

What do you mean by "can't help but seek help from Akagi"?

Kasumigaoka, didn't you used to be jealous of gay men?

He twitched his brow and then received another email from the girl: "If you can hold back, there will be a reward when you get back, a lot of the kind."

This is the beginning of smoothing its fur...

Kasumigaoka Utaha's brushing technique was quite skilled, and Kousaka Kyosuke was worried that she might brush his hair until it fell out. He put away his phone and heard the 7:30 PM time announcement on the radio, as well as the news that had been repeated many times that afternoon.

"Mayor Ito, who is running for re-election for the fourth time, has concluded her campaign spree. Although the exact vote count is still unknown, judging from the public's reaction, she may be re-elected next year..."

Kyosuke closed his eyes.

“Ito, Ito is a long, ancient name.”

He slowly took out a neatly folded advertising paper from his pocket. The back of the paper had been scorched by high temperature, revealing pale yellow characters.

Eight o'clock.

station.

Ito.

gun.

The four words are stacked together.

These fragmented words were written unconsciously by Miss Sinon's finger on the advertising paper while she was reading the email. She was being careful, but she was still too young and didn't know many common sense things.

For example, it's best not to take photos when you're not paying attention, otherwise the photos will turn out terribly.

For example, if you absentmindedly drop the camera, it's best not to be too self-righteous; it's better to show a little bit of shame.

For example... it's best not to order a glass of lemonade when doing confidential work.

Because lemon water, like urine, is a typical example of invisible ink; simply heating it with high heat will reveal what she actually wrote.

Kyosuke Kosaka got up, checked the time, and walked towards JR Nagasaki Station. He had memorized the map of that area and knew very well that there were many alleys nearby.

If the incident hadn't happened on the last day of the school trip, and if he hadn't heard about it during each of his rebirths, he might not have remembered what happened that afternoon.

If he hadn't remembered, he would have been completely baffled by the words on the advertisement.

trouble.

This is really troublesome.

His sister-in-law, Shino, was causing him trouble.

…………

hurried and chaotic footsteps echoed through the alley.

A group of burly men in black suits were hot on their heels in the alley, each carrying a pistol.

The petite girl crouching on the wall remained silent.

Mission failed.

Her mission was to eliminate the enemy's sniper at a specific location, but an accident occurred midway, exposing her whereabouts and forcing her to flee. Unexpectedly, the enemy's tracking ability was even better than anticipated.

Her eyes slowly narrowed, and when they opened again, they were like a cat's pupils. Shino was crouching on the wall, her inconspicuous gray coat making her look like a big gray cat.

She listened to the sounds around her, which gathered in her ears from all directions, near and far, gradually forming a circle around her. If she didn't escape soon, she would be in danger.

Sinon knew that this assassination and protection operation was actually a clash between two major political forces in Nagasaki. She had no interest in these things; she just wanted to complete the mission.

Being on the protective side, she hadn't brought some dangerous items with her, which led to her current predicament.

In retrospect, she underestimated the mission.

After several months of peaceful and stable life, without murder, fighting, or any pressure, she was like a cat that was pampered by everyone, and her wildness had faded considerably.

"Whoosh!"

The petite girl leaped over the wall and forcefully broke through the encirclement, disappearing into a dark alley. The people behind her quickly caught up, as if they wouldn't give up until they caught her.

"It's really easy to find."

Upon hearing this sound, she immediately lost her balance and fell off the wall.

Kyosuke Kosaka caught her with mixed feelings.

The child was surprisingly light.

"You'd better behave from now on, or I won't take care of you anymore, you brat."

He grumbled a complaint, then noticed the child in his arms staring at his face, those calm, still eyes suddenly rippled with emotion, like autumn wind ruffling the surface.

"Shino, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"

The little girl uttered a single syllable indistinctly.

The body he was holding in his arms, which had been extremely tense, suddenly relaxed. Every cell in her body was burning up, as if her whole body was covered in heat rash.

Chapter 52 Quiet Down, Touma!

Dusk in a residential area near Nagasaki Station.

Mr. Kyosuke Kosaka was very angry.

He really wanted to pull this naughty sister-in-law down, knead her up, and give her a good beating.

That's outrageous!

"Walk slowly, I can sense they're still nearby."

"Do you have a built-in radar-like ahoge (antenna-like hair sticking up)?"

"Hey, don't hunch over! I can't see the other side of the wall anymore..."

Miss Shino reached out and tugged at his hair, stretching her neck to peer over the wall.

The eldest son of the Kousaka family was being ridden on by a girl.

Although the thing wasn't heavy, Kyosuke Kousaka still felt a subtle sense of humiliation...

Because it wasn't him who voluntarily squatted down and let her ride on him.

Instead, she nestled obediently in his arms for three minutes, then used her superb physical skills to leap onto his shoulder like a cat, spreading her legs and steadily riding on his neck.

"drive!"

"...I really want to spank you!"
