I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Natsukawa Masaki: "Why should I?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "The one who guarded the place stole from it!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Yeah, yeah! Unless Yukino sleeps with me, I won't agree!"

The last one was clearly just egging them on.

Yukino Yukinoshita was used to this, and without even looking at them, she lay down fully clothed and burrowed into the quilt like a kitten hiding in its den.

Then he closed his eyes and said softly, "I have to get up early tomorrow, goodnight everyone."

She was probably asleep between the headboard and the center of the bed, just where Yuu Tenkuji could lean down and kiss her toes.

Although it gave me a lot of peace of mind, I still felt a little regretful that I couldn't see that person as soon as I opened my eyes.

After her, Asuna Yuuki also lay down on the other bed next to Yukino Yukinoshita, just as Yukino had suggested, with their heads facing each other—a common sleeping arrangement on school trips. Basically, you just shouldn't put your feet up to someone else's head, and you can sleep however you want.

"Okay, goodnight everyone... By the way, I'm a light sleeper, so I'm easily startled awake by the slightest noise." She glanced at the others as she pulled up the blanket, smiling kindly. "I might react a little too strongly because I'm not fully conscious, so please try not to get too close, or you might get hurt!"

"Are you Cao Cao? Why are you killing people in your dreams..." Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her face away and clicked her tongue.

"A human defense line, is it really necessary to be so strict?" After sighing speechlessly, Natsukawa Masuzu suddenly thought of something and raised her hand to say, "By the way, what if Yu suddenly needs to go to the toilet?"

"Hmm...we'll talk about it then!"

Easily ending the topic, Yuuki Asuna winked at Tenkuji Yuu, her smile slightly shy. She quickly covered half her face with the blanket, leaving only her gentle, clear eyes visible as she gazed at him.

The two most important spots were taken away. Although the others were unwilling, since Tenkuji Yu had gone to such lengths to avoid being attacked at night, they could only abandon their original plans and obediently sleep side by side.

Finally, Itoko turned off the lights. She slept in the outermost row, next to Kasumigaoka Utaha, the furthest from Tenkuji Yu, but she didn't complain at all. She just said lightly as the room was completely dark:

"I don't need sleep, I can stay up all night to help Brother You monitor everyone's behavior... Please get some rest, after all, this is the last time."

With those words from her, even Yukinoshita Haruno, who was the most active and daring, had no choice but to obediently give up her idea of ​​sneaking into his bed to sleep together.

After all, the intimidating influence Itoko initially exerted on them was still there. Unlike Kasumigaoka Utaha, they hadn't completely lost their hostility and wariness towards this former final boss.

It's just a night raid; you can do it back in reality. There's no need to deliberately provoke such a non-human being.

As night deepened, the breathing in the room finally became even and calm.

Without any disturbance or unexpected events, perhaps due to a sense of inexplicable peace of mind, the girls, who had thought they would have difficulty sleeping in an unfamiliar environment, unknowingly fell into a peaceful sleep, like a group of children who had just finished playing.

Only one girl remained, her dark eyes fixed on the ceiling half-lit by moonlight, her usually indifferent and calm expression now slightly lost in thought.

"Is it tomorrow...?"

It was faster than I had imagined.

The victor of the final trial, the alteration of fate... will be definitively decided tomorrow morning.

They will leave this world safely, and she, as originally planned, will sacrifice herself for him.

The android named Itoko, created by the system and named by the host, will have her short life officially come to an end at that time.

Perhaps, that was goodbye forever for me.

"I really want to go out with him again..."

The unheard sigh was swallowed up by the thick darkness of the night.

△

Early the next morning.

The alarm clock rang, and the morning light was bright.

Yukino, pulling Haruno, whose clothes were disheveled and who was clutching the quilt and refusing to let go, gritted her teeth and dragged her towards the door.

Asuna Yuuki was trying to wake up Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was hiding like a turtle, while Natsukawa Masuzu, who was drooling and dreaming about some terrible scene, had long given up hope. However, judging from her increasingly pale face, it seemed that her gentleness would not last much longer.

As for Yuu Tenkuji, standing in front of the window facing the warm and bright sunlight, with her back to the "lively" atmosphere of the school trip, she couldn't help but show a high-spirited smile.

"This feels really good..."

Not only did he live with the beautiful girls, but he also slept in the same room with them and woke up together.

Even if nothing is done, just waking up in the morning and seeing their various peaceful sleeping faces, those bare-faced and barely clothed appearances, is already a great blessing in life.

And in the future, he might go even further...

Tenkuji Yu quickly stopped imagining things, afraid that he wouldn't be able to turn around and would be mercilessly harassed by some female hooligans behind him.

Itoko had already gone downstairs to make breakfast. After thinking about it, he decided to go and help out, making some authentic Shanghai breakfast dishes to enrich the menu.

Chapter 167 Leaving is Farewell

This is probably the largest breakfast that Yuu Tenkuji has ever made.

After the dishes were laid out on the entire dining table, the young women tidied themselves up and walked into the living room one by one while chatting.

"Are you sure you don't want to put on some makeup? As a school nurse, you go to work without makeup..."

"Isn't that necessary? Or should I just go to the principal's office later and slap that old man to announce my resignation?"

"It would have been nice if you had brought your toner and lotion... I just feel a little uncomfortable washing my face."

"Go borrow from Itoko. She's like Doraemon, she has everything."

"I guess you just don't have the guts? You're the only one here who dares to talk to her... I still can't believe that you guys actually managed to turn the conspiracy against us."

"Just kidding, don't you guys know how charming Yoyo-kun is? If the system had sent a male android, we'd probably all be in class or in the animal world right now."

"Success and failure both stem from Xiao He... It really evokes mixed feelings."

Tenkuji Yu took off his apron and, like a head of the household greeting his wives, pulled out chairs for them: "Stop chatting, wash your hands and sit down to eat. I cooked half of it today, but the other half is pretty much as good as mine."

“In terms of the level of perfect cooking, we are indeed about the same.” The silver-haired girl also walked out of the kitchen and casually took the seat next to Tenkuji Yu. “However, Yu-ge can add ingredients to his dishes that I cannot replicate. His skills have surpassed the limitations of the skills given by the system. It is only natural that he can make them taste better than me.”

The two didn't say who made which dishes, but judging from their appearance, each dish had an enticing sheen, and the aroma that wafted into the nose was as refreshing as the first ray of warm sunshine in winter. Just looking at them made one's mouth water.

With Yuu Tenkuji there, the group wasn't worried about any tampering with the food. Only Masuzu Natsukawa casually remarked, "An ingredient that can't be replicated? Did you put some aphrodisiac or some strange liquid in it?"

"No, it's love. I added love to it." Tenkuji Yu puffed out her chest with considerable pride.

Yesterday's experience of sharing a room with others made him feel like he was finding himself again and clearing away his confusion. He had also unknowingly accepted that he was a harem man who was juggling multiple relationships, and he was quite certain that he liked the five women in front of him.

In that case, he can use "emotional transmission" to incorporate this feeling into the cooking, creating this half-table of delicious dishes full of love.

"Here, please have a taste!"

Under his bright smile, the girls didn't even look at him, each choosing a seat to sit down—no one specifically tried to grab a seat on his other side, they just sat on whichever chair was closest to them, harmoniously ignoring Tenkuji Yu.

He was quite satisfied with this; wasn't it much better than the tense atmosphere of mutual targeting last night?

After everyone sat down, Yuu Tenkuji picked up his bowl and chopsticks and noticed that no one was eating on their own, but was quietly looking at him.

He paused for a moment, then quickly recovered, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face as he said in a light tone, "Okay, is everything ready? Let's get started—"

"Let's get started!"

At dawn, the city begins to turn according to its pre-set program, and the illusory tranquility curls up in the leisurely drifting clouds.

In the sun-drenched living room, they exclaimed the same thing at the same time, their eyes seemingly filled with a faint smile as they looked at each other, before they began to eat.

Such a warm atmosphere was quickly ruined by the delicious food that was put into their mouths.

"How... how is this made... why does it melt in your mouth, what kind of filling is in it..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yukino covered her mouth and gasped for breath, her eyes wide with disbelief. An endless heat emanated from her lips and teeth, and her pretty face quickly turned bright red, like a steamed bun with a thin skin and tender flesh.

"This is completely different from the fried rice at the autumn exhibition... Not to mention the impeccable taste, what's with this urge to eat more and more and shout it out..."

Yang Nai was calmer than her, only slightly covering her mouth, somewhat dazed as she analyzed the lingering fragrance and deliciousness in her mouth.

On the other side, Asuna Yuuki, with chopsticks in her mouth, couldn't speak. Her head was bowed low, and her body was visibly tense, trembling slightly, as if she was struggling to suppress some kind of impulse. After a long while, she finally managed to utter two words:

"It's delicious..."

The first dishes that Natsukawa Masaki and Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up with their chopsticks were both made of yogurt. Although they were delicious, they were only to the extent that one would think, "Oh, this dish is not bad."

Seeing the exaggerated reactions of the other three, they hesitated for a moment, but soon they all reached out their chopsticks to pick up the dishes that were missing a few bites, stuffed them into their mouths and chewed slowly.

Then one of them, her face beaming with happiness, cupped her cheeks, brought her legs together, and writhed like a maggot, occasionally letting out alluring and seductive moans; the other, with a serious expression, swallowed her food and then solemnly confessed her love to him.

"Ah~ Is this what love feels like? I'm melting~"

"YuYu, I completely understand your feelings. I love you, let's go make a baby now!"

It was utter chaos.

Yuu Tenkuji, who quickly prepared lemonade for them to mask the smell, felt proud of her cooking skills while reminiscing about the strange scene at the dinner table where everything was devoured in a whirlwind and filled with bizarre chatter.

Hopefully, this won't make them afraid to eat their own food in the future.

The "love cooking" incident quickly subsided. After having breakfast and resting for a while to recover from the shock of the delicious food, everyone tidied themselves up and prepared to head to Toyosaki Academy.

Although it wouldn't matter if they went directly to the school, they still disguised themselves to avoid any trouble they might encounter along the way—this mainly refers to the two from Black Lily Academy.

Through Doraemon, who has everything, Natsukawa Masuzu and Yuuki Asuna are transformed into students of Toyonosaki Academy; while Yukinoshita Haruno, as the school nurse, will not encounter any trouble except for being called to the office to understand the situation if she skips work halfway through yesterday.

Needless to say, Yuukoka Yuukoka, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Kasumigaoka Utaha all have their own rooms upstairs, and Itoko also has a school uniform in Utaha's size, so they can just change clothes and go out.

So, after all preparations were complete.

"Let's go."

Yuu Tenkuji opened the door first, then turned to the side, letting different kinds of fragrances drift past her, making the cold morning air seem more approachable.

When everyone had gathered in front of the elevator, and the silver-haired girl at the back of the line took out her key to lock the door, Yuu Tenkuji murmured with emotion:

"It's time to say goodbye to this place..."

He paused slightly, then the silver-haired girl tilted her head up at him and blinked: "Will you be reluctant to let me go?"

"Reluctant to part? Not really." Tenkuji Yu chuckled. "It's just a feeling of things being different now, in a positive sense."

"A compliment?"

"In seven days, we've gone from enemies keeping our distance to companions embarking on a journey together. This place has transformed from a cold and lifeless 'lodging' into a 'home' where laughter can occasionally be heard." He looked back at the door, his gaze distant, his tone calm. "Isn't that amazing? Before this, I just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but now I'm starting to miss the warmth of the bed and the time we spent cooking together in the kitchen."

"If everything is your calculation, then I have to say that the ultimate winner of this trial can only be you, not me, a pawn to be manipulated."

"..."

Itoko fell into a brief silence, her hand holding the key slowly and helplessly drooping down, finally gently tugging at his sleeve, her fingertips gradually tightening until they turned white.
