I really don't want to be reborn.

“You look very alluring in those revealing clothes, so I won’t allow it.”

He pinched his girlfriend's ice cream-like chin, smooth and cool: "If you're only wearing cosplay for me, not only do I have Meruru's, but I also have the Queen of the Night, the armpit-baring shrine maiden, Doraemon, and the Haruhi Suzumiya uniform..."

It seems like something strange has infiltrated.

Kyosuke sighed inwardly.

Of course, there's another secondary reason.

Honey, in the eyes of otaku who love Meruru, you're actually considered an old lady at your age...

I'm so sleepy.

Chapter Eleven: My Inner World, My Insatiable Love for Lips

"Don't show affection in public in the classroom!"

"If you keep doing this, we'll buy gasoline and set people on fire! We mean it!"

"Calm down! Everyone calm down! As the class monitor, I'll take the lead and buy a liter..."

Having provoked public outrage, Kyosuke Kousaka and Kasumigaoka finally calmed down and started talking about serious matters.

Anyway, school ends around four in the afternoon, so they have plenty of time to go to the literature department office and do whatever they like. They can kiss however they want, and these bastards can't control that.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was very interested in romantic intimacy and also in the topic of him and Ayase Aragaki: "And then, what did that middle school student who seemed to have yuri tendencies say?"

She emailed me the next day—

"Didn't we block each other?"

"It's just temporary contact, like a strategic retreat—her exact words were: 'Anyway, you mean as long as we win this cosplay convention, that's all that matters, right?' Tsk, I'm still wondering where her confidence comes from."

"She won't be so arrogant as to accept your... kindness?"

"Probably not."

Kyosuke Kosaka lowered his voice slightly: "To be honest with you, the outfit that suits her is a bit too revealing. Based on my understanding of Aragaki's personality and bottom line, she would never go."

"Hmm, I thought you would try to provoke me."

"It's just a figurine, it's not worth me going to that extent."

This is how the man answered.

Kasumigaoka Utaha understands him even better.

It's not that she won't do it, but rather that she'll give up after weighing the pros and cons—her boyfriend appears gentle and warm on the surface, but his true nature is always shrouded in mystery, and when he occasionally reveals a glimpse of it, he exudes a coldness that treats people as tools.

I'm a little worried.

Kousaka Kyosuke, oblivious to her worried look, continued to ponder: "But where does her confidence come from? Aragaki isn't the type to boast or exaggerate... hmm?"

My phone vibrated.

I received an email from a "yandere girl" with two pictures attached.

In contrast, the man and woman reading the emails remained silent.

After school in the afternoon, Kyosuke Kosaka once again refused some girls' karaoke invitations, insisting on hanging out with the president of the literature club and going to the literature club to read books, so as to become a cultured literary boy.

It certainly has depth.

Anyway, let's not write the scene of the minister and deputy minister entering the room and locking the door and then starting a passionate kiss too explicitly. Just mention it occasionally for now—that's my point.

"I don't know why, but I just want to kiss, and I want to keep kissing."

"Me too, it's like an addiction..."

"Kousaka Kyosuke, you're toxic..."

Let me just use two slightly erotic metaphors.

They hugged each other tightly.

Desire is like a sponge; once suppressed, it will stand up again, and not only that, it will sway violently.

Kyosuke Kousaka wished he could become the cream in Kasumigaoka Utaha's macaroni...

Newlyweds are often eager to hug, kiss, and go deeper into the relationship, and Kosaka is no exception. But deeper things can wait.

Feelings shouldn't develop too quickly; take it slow.

It heats up too quickly and cools down just as quickly.

With a blush on her face, Kasumigaoka Utaha slowly folded a paper crane and suddenly asked, "Can I go to the cosplay convention with you?"

Kosaka refused: "Are you really going to go on stage? I don't want to."

"Of course not."

She sighed softly.

This man was sometimes very attentive, and sometimes a little careless. She leaned over and bit his chin: "If you're going to come along as his manager, are you available to do some of the things that girls do?"

Thinking about it this way, there are some things that are indeed inconvenient for a guy like him to do before and after the girls go on stage, since they involve the girls' privacy.

"So, just think of me as your girlfriend preventing jealousy, and also preventing your... potential infidelity."

The cat was possessive of its food, and he had nothing to say.

…………

On the day of the COSPLAY convention.

Kyosuke Kosaka, carrying a bag of expensive cosplay costumes in a large bulging bag, met up with Ayase Aragaki along with Utaha Kasumigaoka.

Where is the Meruru cosplay convention held?

Good question!

Where else could it be besides Akihabara?

Directly below the huge screen at Akihabara UDX, two young men and women, both dressed and exuding maturity, were greeting Ayase Aragaki and the others.

Wearing a hat, Aragaki let out a long sigh, glancing at them with a surprised look. She hadn't expected that Kasumigaoka-senpai, whom Kirino disliked so much, would also come. But then she thought about how Kasumigaoka-senpai and Kirino-nii were already dating, and she felt relieved.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

"Today's guest appearance will be between the two of us. Shiyu will be in charge of your personal care. Any questions?"

"no problem."

Ayase Aragaki gave him a grateful look.

If Kanako starts causing trouble later, I'm not sure I can control her. Besides, I'm also overwhelmed with preparations for the competition. Of course, I should thank her for having a girl to share the burden with.

Big brother, you're still so gentle.

Of course, it's still really annoying!

"This is my classmate, Kanako Kurusu!"

"Nice to meet you~ I'm Kanako Kurusu! Please call me Kana-Kana~~"

The person Ayase Aragaki brought, who dragged out their cute self-introduction in front of them, was none other than the brat in Kirino's class.

Kanako Kurusu.

She still had her hair in pigtails, blinked her big eyes at him, and made cute hand gestures.

Kosaka was quite polite: "I'm just a new manager myself, so don't be nervous, relax, it's okay."

Well, it's not that he wanted to be polite to her.

He couldn't stand it if Kanako Kurusu continued to pretend like that.

Then he heard the brat's tone change drastically.

"What? It's not supervision? Then it doesn't matter."

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around, her shoulders shrug.

The laughter seemed to emanate from a bicycle, its entire body rattling.

The girl's smiling back looked like a neon light, and he really wanted to ignore everything and pick her up right now.

"Ugh, what a waste of your flattery. Let me tell you, you're not allowed to call me 'Kana Kana' so affectionately! It's disgusting—by the way, manager, what's your name?"

Before that, let's deal with the immediate small matters.

Kyosuke casually handed over the business card he had prepared beforehand: "My name is Kousaka Kyosuke, this is my business card."

Kanako took it with an air of nonchalance: "Kousaka, huh? You even share the same surname as Kirino—wait, wait, wait? You're Kirino's fierce older brother, rua..."

He bit his tongue at the last moment.

Kanako, ignoring her pain, quickly ran behind Aragaki, her impatient face genuinely showing fear: "Let's go back, I'm so scared."

What are you afraid of?

Ayase turned to him angrily: "Big brother, what exactly did you do to Kanako! Why is she so afraid of you?"

He ignored them and walked into the venue with Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Hurry up, there's not enough time."

His girlfriend poked his chest: "Aren't you afraid they'll quit? What will you do if they quit?"

"Given her obsession with Kirino, how could she pass up this opportunity to win her favor? This is the primary reason for her actions."

Actually, it would be more advantageous for him if Ayase Aragaki quit.

There are naturally more than one way to obtain restricted-edition figures.

He's not asking them to participate in this cosplay event because he's doing it for them; he's just doing it to protect her friendship with Kirino.

"You're despicable."

"……Feel sorry."

The girl took his hand and smiled, "You don't know, but I'm actually quite despicable too. I like your despicable side too."

Yes, I like it very much.
