I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

The words she said to Yukino were the biggest proof of her inner anxiety.

Yukino Yukino sighed, trying to keep her composure—thankfully, Yuuyu was avoiding Natsukawa Masuzu more obviously, and given his personality, she didn't need to worry about him causing any trouble for the time being.

As long as I can snatch Xiaoyouyou away before this perverted, obsessed woman remembers anything, it will be a complete victory for me!

...That's what he thought, but his actions were controlled by his mother, and he had very few opportunities to contact her. Moreover, because of "those secrets," he had already built a thick wall around his heart.

Aside from gathering intelligence, Yukino Yukinoshita really couldn't do anything else; she could only silently wait for an opportunity to strike.

"Whatever, best of luck!"

Yukinoshita answered Natsukawa Masuzu in the same casual manner. Hearing the chilling panting and licking sounds coming from the other side, Yukinoshita couldn't help but rub the goosebumps on her arms, once again feeling horrified by the morbidity of her "comrade".

She was perfectly fine until yesterday, except for being a little gloomy. How did a failed attempt at a forced kiss turn her into this mess...?

Sigh, poor little Youyou, of all people to mess with, she had to pick on a crazy girl who lost her memory.

After everything settles down, I still need to figure out how to deal with this girl, so she won't keep trying to steal my boyfriend—and I can't let the other girls who have ill intentions towards Xiaoyouyou go either; I have to make them honestly give up other people's boyfriends.

As Yuu Tenkuji's official girlfriend, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a pressure she hadn't experienced during the summer vacation. It was a kind of trouble that came with happiness.

"Slurp... Ha... You too, Ms. Haruno." Coming back to her senses, Natsukawa Masuzu smiled elegantly and politely, "Even though you regained your memories, you still had your boyfriend stolen. If that person was your own sister, pfft, that would be too funny... Anyway, let's both do our best."

As if a sore spot had been hit, Yang Nai's expression turned slightly unpleasant. She gave a cold laugh with icy eyes and said, "You don't need to worry about me. You just do your best."

"Well, you're the kind of girl even Father praises highly, why would I worry about you? I'm going to rest now, is that all?"

"That's it. I'll have to ask you for help again tomorrow, Masuzu."

"Of course, that's part of the deal. You tell me how to regain my memories, and I'll be your informant at school."

"It's great to know that you can still think clearly."

"Ugh, my mind isn't completely filled with 'your' little Youyou~ I also want to thank you for what you said before, it made me feel much more normal."

"You mean I shot myself in the foot? Pfft, you think you can say that?"

"Otherwise, who else? Your sister or Yui-kun?"

"..."

After exchanging a few sharp words, Natsukawa Masaki chuckled and glanced at the screen indicating the call had ended. He then slowly hung the photo, which was covered in a lot of clear liquid, back on the wall.

His eyes were still dark, but compared to his previous lifeless appearance, they had gained a lot of sinister vitality.

"They both smell like lies, do you think I can't smell them... It seems that even the all-powerful Haruno-san has things she can't do."

Her silver hair suddenly billowed out and landed on her snow-capped chest.

She leaned back in a highly contorted JoJo pose, looking slightly dazed, and muttered to herself while looking at the photo on the wall:

"Even if I forget important things, this feeling is the one thing I will never forget."

"No matter how many people appear around you, no matter how many people try to get in my way..."

"Once I'm certain you're the one who ruined me, I'll make you take responsibility no matter where you go."

Natsukawa Masaki laughed, as if a wandering ghost had found a place to rest, or a broken toy had found its spring.

Not long after, the room was filled with relieved and joyful breathing once again.

……

That same evening, at the Yuki family home.

"The procedures have been completed, and I will be able to transfer to Zongwu High School after the cultural season."

Kyoko Yuuki's face turned ugly, and she slammed the documents onto the table.

Yuuki Asuna didn't seem to care at all. She happily accepted the transfer notice, glanced at it a few times, and then hugged it to her chest.

"Hehe, thank you for your hard work!" She blinked innocently at her sulking mother, her voice sweet and drawn out, "Thank you, Mom~ I love you the most~"

"Stop with your useless coquettishness!"

Kyoko Yuuki slammed her hand on the table in anger, but her stern and cold face unconsciously softened: "The best option is to finish the last semester before transferring schools. Why are you in such a hurry? Is Soubu High School that attractive to you?"

Yuuki Asuna tilted her head, thought for a moment, then touched the corner of her mouth with her finger and said uncertainly: She hadn't known how many times she'd been asked this question before.

"Because there's a feeling that if we wait a few more days, it will be too late?"

"What nonsense is this..."

Yuu Tenkuji was thinking about what was most important to him.

First and foremost, of course, was his younger sister. He still remembered that if it weren't for Qiong giving him a reason to move forward, he, who had suddenly transmigrated into a child and had no attachment to this world, might have given up his life in that accident.

Next, I must never allow myself to be looked down upon.

He wanted to be like the male protagonists in the story, never letting anyone see his vulnerable side, never crying in front of anyone, and always facing all difficulties with firmness and strength.

The opinions of passersby were irrelevant to him. Yuu Tenkuji simply wanted to appear like a man in front of his sister and other important people—respect was secondary; he just didn't want to be looked down upon.

This point is very important.

After that, I guess I'll have a girlfriend?

Sometimes, they are even more important than themselves.

Hino on the first mission, Asuna on the second mission, and Masuzu on the third mission... The power of 'liking' is truly magical, capable of making one willingly give up things that have been upheld until now, and giving everything without regret no matter how much pain one suffers.

That's why there are so many simps.

Because people like him who receive a reward for their efforts three times are ultimately a minority—and only when a reward is received can it be described as a sincere feeling.

If the system doesn't take back its emotions, after three missions, Yuu Tenkuji probably won't have anything left to give.

That's why, during the fourth mission, facing Yui Yuigahama, who constantly gave and took the initiative, and even responded seriously with "So what" when he said something inexplicable like "I'll cheat on you in the future," Yuu Tenkuji could no longer ignore her.

He told himself that he had to reciprocate this kindness.

She's not just a passerby; she's a girl who still loves him even without the system—an important presence whose feelings and memories will never fade, and whose love and memories will continue to grow.

To this end, Yuuto Tenkuji first confessed his difficulties to her, gradually turning their friendship into love, and hoping that she could walk with him into a future where they could talk about love without any worries after the mission was completed.

Before I fell in love with her, this was just a hope, a fulfillment, a way of repaying a debt of gratitude—as if to say, thank you for liking me for so long, I've seen it all, your efforts have finally paid off;

Knowing that this attitude would only hurt Yui Yuigahama, and for the sake of the person he cares about, Yuu Tenkuji said that he would fall in love with her as soon as possible, and placed her in the position of his girlfriend, considering her from the perspective of a boyfriend, and paying more and more attention to her feelings.

Unless you fight the system to the death, risking everything important for a normal, ordinary romance—

Otherwise, Yuu Tenkuji believed he had done his best. No one could have done better than him.

Despite encountering so many challenges, he didn't choose to give up on himself or become a heartless scumbag. Instead, within his capabilities, he struggled and pondered, giving them, who were not dolls and had complex minds, an ending that could bring a smile to their faces.

Even though he often makes Yui Yuigahama cry, Yuu Tenkuji feels bad and guilty, but he never thinks that he did anything wrong. He has already chosen the path with the least harm, and he said that anyone who comes with him will get hurt. He has done his best, so what more do you want from him?

Should I use the system's abilities to hypnotize them into harem anime heroines who can accept my philandering ways? Or should I just pretend the system doesn't exist, ignore my ex-girlfriends and current targets, and focus solely on dating and marrying Yui?

Or, in order to preserve his noble sentiments, he decisively rejected Yui Yuigahama's advances, ignored her initiative, and did everything in his power to make her lose heart and become strangers to him.

Yes, perhaps this is the most correct approach!

Forget about Yui, date Yukino, and complete the mission of being the ideal boyfriend; repeat the previous four operations, and after getting rid of the last girlfriend, break free from the system's control, and date whoever you want. Even if you want to win back Yui who is disappointed in you, it's no problem. If all else fails, you can spend your life with Sora... He has plenty of choices.

And he wasn't some indecisive light novel protagonist, nor was he some scumbag who toyed with other people's feelings.

It is not the "Tenkuji Yu" he claims to be.

……

As dawn broke, birds chirped outside the window, and the faint sound of car wheels rolling over rainwater could be heard.

"It's raining..."

Upon waking, Yuu Tenkuji did not open her eyes. She simply lay on the bed, pressing her upper face with her arm, and let out a soft sigh.

Rarely, he had a very long dream today, and even had several conversations with himself in the dream—although he didn't get any answers to his questions, it at least gave him some comfort.

"Tenkuji Yuu, you're the best~"

He chuckled to himself, but then tears welled up in his eyes... and he let out a big yawn.

It was the end of November, and there was still a week left before the Zongwu High Cultural Festival.

There are still three days until the three-person date that Yui Yuigahama mentioned yesterday.

Recalling the astonished expression on that certain snow woman's face when she heard the news, as if to say, "Is there something wrong with you or me?", Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but smile and happily rolled out of bed.

He's not used to always looking gloomy and hates his own gloomy self, so when he's feeling down, he tries to think of interesting things to cheer himself up.

For example, is the girl in the next room turning the heating up to the maximum again, and then taking off all her extra clothes, almost to the point of sleeping naked with just a dress on?

For example, is Ms. Yukinoshita, who doesn't know how to handle the relationship between the three of them, struggling with whether or not to send him a good morning message to say hello?

For example, after Tuanzi's mother closes the door, will she ask Tuanzi about herself, or even teach her secret techniques like "the way to manage a husband"?

For example, have the stray cats in the park been cleared out by Snowflakes again, and forced to join its newly established "Knights of the Round Table of Beasts"...?

Thinking about all these random things, aside from not jogging in the rain, my daily routine just flew by.

Yuu Tenkuji bid farewell to her younger sister, who was going back to sleep, and walked towards her school route with an umbrella in hand.

The city was quieter than I had imagined in the rain.

There wasn't much traffic in the residential area. Because of the light drizzle, the asphalt road hadn't accumulated enough water for the tires to splash up. Pedestrians walked silently, some fast and some slow, ignoring each other.

The world under the umbrella seems noisier.

Listening to the sounds of the rain, watching the rain-soaked scenery, and feeling the cold raindrops blown in by the slanting wind, Yuu Tenkuji suddenly thought of something, took out her phone, and dialed someone's number.

Good morning, Yukinoshita.

Good morning... Is there anything I can help you with?

This was the first time he had called to say good morning at this time, so it's no wonder her tone was full of doubt.

"It's nothing," Tenkuji Yu said with a smile. "I just wanted to tell you that it's windy and rainy today, so remember to bring an umbrella and also protect your hair and socks. Be careful not to get splashed when you walk."
