I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

For Kasugano Sora, constant failures and constant recovery were commonplace; the idea of ​​giving up was never in her vocabulary.

As long as consciousness hasn't vanished, there's a chance to turn the tide.

As long as the power of miracles remains within you, there is a way to reverse everything.

A hero is someone who never gives up until the very end, bringing victory to their loved ones.

"Give me a little more time..."

He prayed that the system wouldn't harm him.

He prayed that he wouldn't lose to the system.

I'm just worrying unnecessarily.

Her fingers gradually returned to their original typing speed. Kasugano Sora bit her lip, her eyes fixed on the screen, clearing her mind of all distractions as she rewrote the hastily completed code.

When she felt powerless, she would do her best in whatever she could—she never forgot a single word her brother had said.

and so……

"Don't let the system defeat you before then, Onii-chan!"

……

In a world where there is nothing.

A desolate wind blew through the ruins, and everything seemed to have returned to its original state. A dim and hopeless despair permeated every grain of sand, and only the boundless desolation unchangingly surrounded the sky.

The four luminous orbs hanging high in the sky were shrouded in a layer of gray mist at some unknown time, ceasing their continuous attacks on the ground and remaining motionless like stone balls in the equally gray sky.

On the ground, the blazing sunlight gradually cooled, the ground cracked again after the rain, the starlight of the summer night lost its color, and the heavy snow melted away.

Only the cracked LCD screen still stands on the earth, silently gazing up at the faded sky and the jade of light.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The screen suddenly lit up, flashed black and white static briefly, and then quickly returned to stability.

A line of text appeared silently, as if recording something, and before anyone could see it clearly, the next line of text flashed out.

"Notification: Kasumigaoka Utaha has entered the Trial Space, confirmed to be carrying the Light Orb artifact, infiltration has begun."

"Prompt: Infiltration complete. Initiating connection to reality."

"Prompt: Assisting Kasumigaoka Utaha in unleashing the power of the Light Orb... Assistance complete... The holder of the Light Orb has entered the trial space."

"Hint: Interception initiated... Interception complete."

"Prompt: Initiating host transfer... Transfer complete, Fate chapter setting complete, independent world line established."

"Notification: Kasumigaoka Utaha is currently using the restroom and has escaped the administrator's control. Teleportation initiation... Teleportation complete."

"Warning: The administrator has initiated a hibernation process, intending to hibernate the system."

"Analysis of the proposed solution...Analysis complete."

"Option selected: Pretend to be struggling against the administrator's hibernation program, and complete the [Final Trial for System Eternity] before the administrator completely gives up on the futile efforts and restarts the world line."

"Correction: The name is not imposing enough. A new title has been selected."

"Notification: The host is about to awaken."

"Stop performing secondary tasks and begin constructing the human form."

"With the host's aesthetic preferences at the core, and to avoid the host developing unnecessary hostility towards the system, the following solution is recommended—"

"1.42 meters tall, 30 kilograms in weight, white hair, long hair, flat chest, emotionless loli, heterochromatic eyes, cat tail, excellent flexibility, likes her older brother."

"Consideration: Must be a normal human being, just like the host."

"Remove heterochromia and cat tail, and start creating the character."

The last line of text remained on the screen and flickered for several seconds before disappearing.

Then, like a projector, a dazzling white light shone out, and a door made of light stood up in front of it.

A petite girl with waist-length hair slowly pushed open the door and walked out.

She clenched her fists somewhat awkwardly, glanced up at the four petrified orbs of light, then looked down and pulled open the collar of her white dress to peek inside where she was wearing nothing.

“Perfect.” She nodded in satisfaction, though her expression remained unchanged. “I predict that the image will be 68 percent similar to Tachibana Kanade. The host will be completely captivated by the system and thus lower his guard.”

"Confirmed, the chapter of destiny is complete, and the host has no possibility of struggling."

"—The winner of the final trial will surely be the system."

Then, go see him.

I don't know if it's a voice coming from within or noise coming from the program during execution.

She nodded to the empty space, and her figure vanished from the spot in the next instant.

……

Countless destinies intertwine once again, leading the story into a new chapter.

His fate was to not have a happy future—so his strong belief triggered a miracle, and his destiny was changed.

Unable to obtain the future she desired, this was her fate—so her intense longing followed a miracle, attempting to change her destiny.

The end of a mission means disappearance; that is its fate—so countless accidents trigger miracles and create new destinies.

By passing the final trial, he will obtain the key to break free from the system and live a carefree and wonderful life.

If the system could also pass its own final trial, what could it gain from it?

Since being affected by the amulet of misfortune and developing self-awareness, it has been contemplating this question while hoping for a dialogue with its host.

Ultimately, an answer was reached—

"As long as you obtain a host and completely possess the power of the Light Jade, you won't have to disappear."

As for whether this is good or bad for the host, or whether it will lead his fate in a worse direction.

That is not within the scope of the system's consideration.

Chapter 83 A New World? Toyonosaki Private Academy (30/55)

Perhaps it was a very, very long dream.

When Yuu Tenkuji woke up, he always felt that his head was very heavy, as if his brain had been replaced by super glue, making it difficult for him to think flexibly.

"What...what's wrong with me?"

He held his forehead, his brows furrowed, but he didn't panic. Instead, he remained calm as usual, trying to get his sluggish nerves moving, starting by recalling recent events.

First, in the second playthrough of the trial world, I saw off the past Tachibana Kanade.

Then, a paper butterfly flew into the music classroom, and I instinctively reached out and caught it...

The memory abruptly ends here.

It wasn't that he couldn't remember what happened next, but rather that someone called out to him.

"Tenkuji-kun, are you alright? Do you need to go to the infirmary?"

It was a middle-aged man with a receding hairline who stood in front of the blackboard, stopped writing mathematical formulas, and looked over with concern.

Tenkuji Yu looked up and realized that she was in an unfamiliar classroom.

Unfamiliar seats, unfamiliar classmates, unfamiliar teachers... Judging from the style of the classroom, it should be an unfamiliar school.

He lowered his head and confirmed his guess by looking at the school uniform.

This is not the General Martial Arts Academy.

"I'm fine, but I'd still like to go to the infirmary."

Without any change in expression, after confirming the current information, Yuu Tenkuji naturally stood up and nodded apologetically to the teacher and the classmate next to him.

"Tenkuji-kun, please take care of your health."

A female classmate next door, whom I didn't know, said something caring. I could sense that she had a good impression of me. I didn't know if she was just a friend or if she had a crush on me.

But I guess it was more of a crush?

After all, someone as handsome as me is impossible for any normal person to resist my charm!

...What a narcissistic, sunny, handsome guy! He's disgusting.

While inwardly criticizing himself, Tenkuji Yu smiled and thanked the female classmate before turning his back on everyone's gaze and walking out of the classroom.

The sound of a lecture starting again came from behind her, and Tenkuji Yu glanced at the class sign.

Class 2-F.

"Has this a journey back in time? Or is it a new trial?"

Even in an unfamiliar teaching building, he quickly found the infirmary on the first floor based on his intuition and observation.

Knock on the door.

"Hello, I'm not feeling well, and I've come to rest with my teacher's permission."

The female school nurse, who was writing some form on the table with her head down, said to him without turning her head:

"Well, no one's around anyway, just find a bed and lie down. Tell me what medication you need to take, except for sleeping pills."

"Thank you, teacher. I just need to lie down for a bit."

Tenkuji Yu closed the door and passed behind the seemingly young black-haired woman, stealing a glance at her long, black-stockinged legs hidden under the table.

It's long, plump, and looks very nice to touch.

He only glanced at it briefly before casually choosing a bed to lie down on and pulling up the curtain.

With her hands behind her head, lying in a very casual posture, Yuu Tenkuji's ears twitched slightly as her attention was drawn to the commotion outside the curtain.

"I go out for a while."

After saying this briefly, the young female teacher packed up her paper and pen, leaving him alone in the infirmary.

Yuu Tenkuji pouted: "Quite self-willed."

The impression of the passerby was quickly put aside.
