I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

There are no other options. In the whole world, that person is probably the most suitable.

So after Yuu Tenkuji was bound to the system, Kanade Tachibana immediately used her increasingly proficient power to construct a virtual entity in the network, and for the first time, in the form of a light orb, made contact with Kasugano Sora of this world.

At the beginning, of course, we encountered many difficulties.

For example, Kasugano Sora was so frightened that she almost smashed her computer and ran to Tenkuji Yu for help.

For example, after finally calming her down, she would ask him to perform some magic tricks or something to prove himself.

For example, after he had no choice but to hack into her computer and find all the novels she wrote about brother complex, he almost made her smash the computer while calling her brother for help.

For example, when we finally managed to get down to business and I showed her the records I had saved, she accused me of faking them. I had no choice but to reveal the little secret that only the two of us siblings knew, which made her so ashamed that she almost smashed the computer, and finally she reluctantly believed me.

Kanade Tachibana never imagined that persuading someone could be so difficult... Ultimately, she lacked her lover's emotional intelligence and cunning, and could only rely on sincerity and evidence to gain his trust.

Fortunately, things went much more smoothly after that.

After spending several days reading through her record of ninety-nine attempts, Qiong remained silent for a long time, her eyes reddening. Finally, she clenched her fist, wiped her eyes, and uttered this sentence in a low, emotionless voice:

"I'll help you."

In order to change the tragic fate of their loved ones, two girls who were once best friends finally stood on the same side.

The moment the contract was reached was not an illusion—Tachibana Kanade saw a glimmer of hope; she knew she had found the right method.

And so, ever since.

With her providing power and knowledge, and Kasugano Sora providing ideas, the two joined forces to revamp the system once again, and worked hard to assist Tenkuji Yu so that he could more smoothly date his girlfriend in this world, just like countless other couples.

Despite Kasugano Sora's great dissatisfaction with this, and several times almost losing her possessiveness and getting angry at Tenkuji Yu, warning him that his life would be in danger if he continued like this, Tachibana Kanade would repeatedly play for her scenes of him sacrificing himself to protect his sister, as well as various compilations of scenes of him ignoring his girlfriend for his sister.

This tactic was very effective. Touched and filled with remorse, Kasugano Sora quickly lost her temper and stopped caring about his philandering with other women, devoting herself entirely to the greatest cause in the world.

Transform the system, change your fate.

Good times don't last, or rather, as Tachibana Kanade predicted, before even the second year of high school was over, Tenkuji Yu in this world, because of his girlfriend and her best friend's constant entanglement, his indecisiveness and wavering, jumped off the rooftop with them in order to prove their love.

It's really baffling, isn't it? She thought so too.

Unfortunately, many of the ninety-nine deaths were inexplicable, and Tachibana Kanade had long since become accustomed to it, even finding it somewhat mundane.

Whether he's devoted or a womanizer... as long as he survives to the end, even if he's dating ten people at the same time, she'll be very happy to wish him happiness.

As for Kasugano Sora, even though she was mentally prepared beforehand, it still took her a long time to recover from the blow and accept the fact that her brother had died.

She didn't have a big cry; instead, she abandoned all emotions and devoted herself to the work of modifying the system. Ignoring Tachibana Kanade's attempts to stop her, she worked day and night, using her own life to complete the new system.

Then, after realizing that he could survive simply by taking care of his health, he decisively committed suicide by overdosing on medication.

There was nothing Tachibana Kanade could do to stop her; he could only watch helplessly as she collapsed on the bed, gradually becoming unable to move, her face turning ashen and miserable.

This was not the first time I had witnessed her death.

However, this was the first time I had watched helplessly as a friend left me.

She felt like crying again, but Guangyu couldn't cry. Staying with Qiong on her final journey through her phone, she couldn't even feel the presence of tears.

"If I could turn back time, I could see her again," Tachibana Kanade comforted herself, though her mood still involuntarily plummeted.

At that moment, Kasugano Sora, with a barely audible voice, struggled to open her chapped lips:

"Play..."

"Well, I'm here."

"Actually, I really hate you..."

"Huh?"

"It's your fault that You became like this. I've thought about it before... I've had thoughts of wanting to get revenge on you."

"I...I didn't..." She hesitated for a moment, then honestly lowered her head and admitted her mistake, "Yes, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Kasugano Sora gave a wry smile: "Don't admit it... to be honest, I hate this kind of thing about you too."

"Then, how should I put it?"

"Promise me, we'll work together to save Yu... from that shitty fate."

"...Yes, I promise!"

Turning her head to face her phone, her glasses slipped off her face, and Kasugano Sora let out a silent laugh.

"This is my revenge... I am Yu's hero, and I won't let you have him."

Putting aside his phone, transforming into a luminous orb and looking down at his friend who was on his deathbed, Tachibana Kanade chuckled softly.

"You will be his hero. Always will be."

"Ha...that's good."

The sound gradually faded.

His fingers trembled slightly, as if he wanted to raise his hand to touch the faintly visible orb of light in the air, but he couldn't even lift a single finger and collapsed weakly onto the bed.

The girl slowly stopped breathing, as if she were asleep. After entrusting her wishes and future to a trustworthy friend, she peacefully drifted into a dream.

Kanade Tachibana stared at her intently for a moment, then copied all the data from the computer and deleted it in a way that humans could not recover, before slowly taking off.

The hundredth cycle failed.

The 101st regression is about to begin.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

Tachibana Kanade: "???"

Amidst her incredulous trembling, Kasugano Sora barely opened her eyes, struggling to speak in her final moments of lucidity:

"Tell the me of the next world... it's better to let Yu be a scumbag than for him to really be reduced to nothing."

The system she personally modified was named—"Scumbag Cultivation System".

Kasugano Sora believes that in today's world, scumbag protagonists are more likely to survive than traditional pure love protagonists.

After all, good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years.

Tachibana Kanade was still a little confused: "I...I understand..."

"That's good... Farewell."

Badaling.

The girl collapsed again, the flame of her life completely extinguished—this time, she was truly beyond saving.

The light jade lingered in mid-air for a long time, and only after confirming that its friend really had nothing more to say before passing through the ceiling and reaching a vast blue sky.

Then, with the brand-new system, they crossed the boundary of nothingness and once again traveled upstream along the river of time.

……

The screen went dark.

Tenkuji Yu glanced at Kasugano Sora, whose expression was slightly embarrassed, and, just like before, forced a smile, pretending to be surprised, and said:

"My hero, so you still have the will to fight?"

Kasugano Sora blushed and retorted, "Although she did what I would do, she is not me, nor is she as smart as me!"

He simply copied his statement verbatim, and Tenkuji Yu didn't mind. He glanced at the time and couldn't help but frown.

"Hmm, an hour has already passed so quickly..."

"Yes, it seems there won't be time to finish broadcasting it."

Kasugano Sora thought about it and realized that video calls were indeed too time-consuming. It would be better to just give him the outline and let him quickly understand the cause and effect...

But that's not impactful enough. How can I make him remember Xiaozuo?

This is difficult...

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Women will only hinder me from completing my mission!

4⑧87 ④9 7⑨9

"Let's continue."

Seemingly sensing her hesitation, Tenkuji Yu leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, and calmly said, "I'm quite curious about what I'll do after being possessed by the 'Scumbag Cultivation System,' and what happened between Tachibana Kanade and you afterward that led to your current state."

Regardless of how miserable the person in the video and Qiong were, neither of them lived past eighteen.

The fact that something as unconventional as a system could be modified by a "ghost" who was originally just an ordinary girl was truly beyond his common sense.

To make matters worse, his younger sister was also dragged into it, and even personally created a system for him that sounded really ominous...

Yuu Tenkuji is becoming increasingly curious about how far they had gone with this system before they met their current selves, and how it evolved from a "girlfriend training system" to a "life achievement system" and a "boyfriend system".

Is the girl's journey a history of system development?

As for Kanade Tachibana, while he was somewhat moved by how desperately she tried to save him, and thought there was a reason why his past self had liked her, when it came to impressions and memories...

"Even if it doesn't work this time, we can find a way to find her in the next cycle, right?"

Yuu Tenkuji guessed that the reason his sister's counterpart was showing him these videos was not only to answer his questions, but also to help him find his friend who had disappeared.

That must be something only he could do, otherwise she wouldn't have asked those questions earlier—the feeling of losing memories and having them altered is indeed very unpleasant, and if possible, he also wanted to quickly return everything to its original state.

Remembering the things that happened between him, Iroha Isshiki, and Kanade Tachibana in this world, recalling his real-world memories of having the "Boyfriend System," he wants to leave this trial as soon as possible, return to reality, and reunite with his real sister.

But these are not things that can be accomplished overnight.

Tenkuji Yu was prepared to start over again and again, just like the time that Tachibana Kanade experienced in the video—it didn't make sense that a soft-spoken, delicate little girl like her could persevere, but he didn't even have that much patience and perseverance.

Thinking this, however, the silver-haired woman in front of him showed a slightly troubled expression, which made Yuu Tenkuji frown.

Is there any difficulty?

"...To be honest, the administrator is not the god of this trial, and is also subject to the most basic limitations of the system itself."

After hesitating for a while, Kasugano Sora finally took off her glasses, rubbed her temples, and told the truth: "Including the time that Kanade experienced alone, we've researched this system for hundreds of years, molding it into all sorts of shapes. We can practically do whatever we want with it. We could even turn it into a 'reserved food' or a 'commentator' for you to tease..."

"But even after going to such lengths, we still can't crack the system's source code. We can only modify its basic settings. Many rules must be followed if they can't be bypassed."

For example, they cannot change the fact that the system will definitely approach Yuu Tenkuji and will not leave him until the "final goal of the mission" is achieved.
