I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

What kind of chaotic situation he will face then is not something Yukino Yukinoshita should worry about.

In short, he deserved it.

"I think the key lies in this notebook."

As she picked up her pen, Yukino Yukinoshita pulled her notebook back over, her expression turning serious.

"As Kasumigaoka-senpai said, 'I hope the notebook can create miracles for us'—even if the notebook is on senpai's side and only uses us as stepping stones for her to complete her mission, if it can help senpai successfully utilize the notebook's power, deeply develop it, and completely control it..."

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and Yang continued, "She will let us enter the trial, and even take the initiative to give us a lot of help. Then we will be able to stand on the same side as her."

At this point, the female college student couldn't help but laugh, vigorously rubbing her sister's head and excitedly messing up her neat and smooth long hair.

"Tsk tsk tsk, although it's an idea with uncertain feasibility, the angle is perfect. If it succeeds, it can smoothly open up the situation... Even I didn't think of this. She really is my biological sister!"

"This is quite different from your previous attitude...you opportunist."

Yukino rolled her eyes at her, sighed, and slapped away the troublesome hand. While fixing her hair, she also tried to hide the unintentional upward curve of her lips.

Then, after exchanging glances with the others to confirm, he asked, "If there are no problems, I'll start writing?"

As expected, there was no objection, so Yukino Yukinoshita began to write down her thoughts to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

……

In the trial space, in Kasugano Sora's bedroom.

"So, that's your basis for bringing people in to cause trouble, Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

The silver-haired woman in the white coat gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the black-haired beauty in front of her, who had suddenly lost her recent sense of dejection and was now radiant and smug. Her expression was so fierce that she wished she could tear off the front armor and throw it to the ground.

She fanned herself with a black-covered notebook as she spoke with the ease and confidence of a strategist in charge.

"That's right! I'm not fighting alone. Those ravenous girlfriends outside are much more formidable than we imagined..."

After a pause, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly stretched out her arm, exuding a triumphant aura of a desperate counterattack, and pointed her notebook at Kasugano Sora with a smug look on her face.

"And under our combined offensive, Kasugano Sora, you are still two moves behind!"

Explanation of the numerous censored chapters in Volume 4

As the title says, the reviewers removed a bunch of my chapters without saying anything. If someone hadn't sent me a private message, I wouldn't have known this happened if I hadn't checked the comments section. I apologize to everyone on behalf of the reviewers.

Because I'm currently busy rushing to update the latest chapters, I don't have time to work on these chapters right now. I'll take a day off tomorrow to finish them all, and the original text will be available in the group for everyone to read for free (except for Chapter 114 of Volume 2, which I edited too quickly and forgot to save the original text).

I will regularly check for missing chapters in the future. If you happen to encounter any missing chapters, you can send me a private message and I will reply as soon as I see it.

Group number: 651587286

I'm truly sorry for the trouble this has caused. The author bows in apology here (crossdressing is impossible).

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Despicable Cow Monster

"You really dare to say that..."

With a mocking laugh, Kasugano Sora glanced at the notebook, then looked at the screen on the computer behind her, and clicked her tongue in annoyance.

'Yukinoshita and the others' consciousnesses have all entered, and Yu has been taken somewhere by them again... These guys, they're always causing trouble!'

Also, Xiao Zou shouldn't have given the power of the Light Jade to that wicked woman with ulterior motives in the first place!

Taking a deep breath to calm the agitation in her chest, Kasugano Sora stared intently at the composed woman and said, word by word, "You did this without knowing anything about the current situation. Didn't you think about the potential problems this could cause for Yu?!"

"It's better than being locked up here in the dark writing manuscripts, isn't it?" Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, supporting the heavy weight in her arms, and said matter-of-factly, "You imprisoned me first, so isn't it normal for me to retaliate? There's no reason for me to just swallow my anger and suffer the consequences of what you've done to me, is there?"

She paused for a moment, then said, "...I'm keeping you here for Youhao's sake too."

"What does that have to do with me? Who else would care about me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha gently brushed a strand of hair over her shoulder and said indifferently, "You don't care about my feelings, so of course I won't care what you think either~"

"..."

Kasugano Sora had to admit that what she said made a lot of sense.

In this world, two people on opposite sides will not consider each other's feelings. Whether it is imprisoning the other or disrupting the other's plans for "prison break", as long as it is for their own purpose, they have nothing to do with what the other person is feeling.

She started it first; if we had sent Kasumigaoka Utaha back earlier, there wouldn't have been so many problems. So there's no reason to blame this fat, black-haired cow-like woman.

As her anger gradually subsided, Kasugano Sora slowly closed her eyes, temporarily setting aside her personal emotions.

Over the long journey through time, she was no longer the willful, aloof, and impulsive little girl she once was.

Instead of impulsively confronting this person, it's better to think about how to deal with the current complicated situation. Perhaps we'll need to ask her for some help with the power of the light jade she possesses...

'Hopefully, it's not too late... before 'it' breaks free from the shackles of the light orb...'

Exhaling a heavy breath, Kasugano Sora reopened her eyes and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, her expression now calm and composed.

She turned her computer chair around, sat down, crossed her legs, and looked up at the beautiful black-haired girl in front of her like an interviewer, her light-colored eyes revealing a sense of domineering pressure.

"I remember you said at the beginning that you came in to save my brother, right?"

"What? Finally willing to share information?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow and gave a mocking sneer.

Unexpectedly, Kasugano Sora lowered her head and apologized decisively without any reluctance: "Yes, because I looked down on your power, I locked you up here as a secret weapon and did such an excessive thing without permission—I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me."

"..."

After a long, speechless silence, her mind in turmoil by this unexpected reaction, Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously started shaking her leg, but then suppressed it before she noticed her own action.

After a moment's thought, she softened her tone, but her expression still showed she had no intention of letting the other person off the hook: "If saying sorry is enough, then what's the point of having police? Do you know how much mental damage you caused me during this month of house arrest? A deep bow of apology wouldn't be too much to ask, would it?"

"Heh." She apologized, but Kasugano Sora had no intention of begging for mercy from this woman—according to Yu, you can apologize and make amends for doing something wrong, but you can't lose your dignity.

Tenkuji Yu would never kneel in obeisance for anyone, and neither would his sister.

Moreover, in her heart, she had not done anything wrong; the fault lay with Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had barged in without permission.

My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my deeds are for justice!

“This isn’t under the police’s jurisdiction.” Kasugano Sora raised her head, her eyes calm and her expression unchanged. “There’s no point in arguing about who’s right and who’s wrong. I hope you, as an intruder, can have some self-awareness and obediently accept my apology.”

"Is this how you apologize? What an arrogant brat..." Although the other party was much bigger than in reality, Kasumigaoka Utaha still puffed out her chest and scoffed disdainfully at the difference in armor between the two sides.

Now that things have come to this, Kasugano Sora is unlikely to be provoked by such a clumsy provocative look.

"Let's put aside our prejudices and calm down to talk this over." She steered the conversation back on track, her expression turning serious and slightly grave. "Ultimately, our goal is the same: to ensure You completes the trial safely, right?"

“It’s a little different.” Kasumigaoka Utaha plopped down on the bed, crossing her long legs in black stockings. “That’s the duty of those ‘girlfriends.’ I have my own tasks to complete… I don’t care what happens to Tenkuji Yu, as long as I can leave this awful place safely.”

"Your own mission?" Kasugano Sora asked, her gaze falling on the notebook in her hand. "Is that your system?"

"Hmm...it doesn't seem wrong to think that way."

On the day she arrived, she heard her talk about the "system." After thinking about it, Kasumigaoka Utaha agreed that the notebook was equivalent to her own system.

A flicker of realization crossed her eyes, and Kasugano Sora murmured thoughtfully, "So, Kanade used the power of the Light Orb to create a system for her? But it doesn't seem that simple..."

"Stop thinking so much. You're planning to team up with me, right?" Ignoring what she was muttering, Kasumigaoka Utaha flipped through the pages of her notebook with a rustling sound, and said confidently, "Now I know how to use this thing, and I've successfully sent those guys to Tenkuji Yu's side... In short, I'm now on the same level as you, no longer a small fry that you can easily dismiss."

It would be a real headache if things got messed up, so the only option is to form an alliance with her for the time being... That's probably what Kasugano Sora is thinking right now.

Anyway, that's what Kasumigaoka Utaha thinks.

"Hmm... let's just say that's how it is." Kasugano Sora smiled subtly, said nothing more, and turned her gaze away. "Would you mind telling me what your mission is? As long as our goals are roughly aligned, we have the possibility of joining forces... or rather, we can only join forces."

“I was planning to tell you this all along, wasn’t I? At the very beginning.” Remembering how she was imprisoned before she could even speak, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn’t help but speak with a sharp tone, “If you were more obedient, you wouldn’t be here groveling before me.”

I didn't lower myself.

Kasugano Sora quietly rolled her eyes, too lazy to correct this self-centered cow-like monster.

Although this guy isn't particularly big, at most he's only an F-rank character, and all the characters who appear on Monday Night are much bigger than him... However, Kasugano Sora is used to calling anyone older than her a "cow monster," it's purely a matter of feeling.

I wonder what she was thinking about regarding the size of human rights. Kasumigaoka Utaha slammed her laptop shut and said decisively, "My mission is to change your brother's fate and save him, and me who has been implicated, from an abyss of no return."

Chapter 80 Kasugano Sora's Coercion and Enticement

"A future of utter ruin?" Kasugano Sora raised an eyebrow, but then, considering that the notebook was related to the power of the Light Orb, it seemed quite reasonable.

There must still be some remnants of Tachibana Kanade's will inside, which is why she wanted to change the fate of Tenkuji Yuuko, who would not graduate from high school.

Kasumigaoka Utaha continued, "Well, at this stage, I've done all I can do. Until the notebook gives the next instruction, we can only wait and see how they perform."

"What if they fail?"

"The laptop will give me instructions, and then I can figure out a solution."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't care and just shrugged. She was different from those other people. She was doing what the notebook required for her own sake, and she had no interest in the truth or anything like that. She didn't care much about the safety of Tenkuji Yuu either.

That would be ideal if everything could be resolved this way, but if they can't and instead put Yuu Tenkuji in danger... as long as the notebook doesn't say anything, then it has nothing to do with her, right?

"What an annoying kind of freedom."

Kasugano Sora couldn't help but click her tongue. She felt that this guy was even more annoying and harder to deal with than those bad women who got close to her brother.

After all, she doesn't care about the safety of Tenkuji Yu, so her subjective purpose isn't strong; let alone asking her for help, even just asking her not to cause trouble would be very difficult to persuade verbally.

So, is it really necessary to resort to coercion and bribery after all?

Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha sitting on the bed leisurely swinging her legs, Kasugano Sora quickly came up with her words.

Her eyes suddenly narrowed, and the corners of her mouth pursed slightly; an indescribable sense of solemnity emanated from her entire being.

"Milk...Kasumigaoka, you may think this is none of your business, but unfortunately, I know the origin of the notebook in your hand, and I also know that its power is only one-tenth of mine. What even I cannot do, it naturally cannot do. What even I cannot solve, it cannot protect you from."

"...What do you mean by that?" As if infected by her emotions, Kasumigaoka Utaha could no longer maintain her relaxed expression and frowned as she looked at her suspiciously.

"It means that you and I are now in the same boat, and you have to help me whether you like it or not."

Exhaling slowly, Kasugano Sora began to recount the truth she had never told Tenkuji Yu, under Kasumigaoka Utaha's still disbelieving gaze—

I originally planned to solve it by myself, and even if I was temporarily at a loss, I never thought of finding help to fight alongside me.

But at this moment, she suddenly remembered the words that Tachibana Kanade left behind in the 300th timeline.

I'm sorry to have to carry such a heavy responsibility and walk this path alone.

Kasugano Sora, who had been staying alone in the system all along, had indeed done just that.

But now...

'Really.'
