I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Besides empty beer bottles, there were also unopened sports drinks in the room.

The amount of snacks didn't seem like something she could finish by herself, and everything about it seemed incredibly strange.

It was as if... she hadn't come to the hotel alone.

But how is that possible?

She did indeed spend the whole day alone yesterday, without calling anyone.

"Ah, I guess I really am drunk? I'm drunk from morning till night."

Scratching her hair, Yukinoshita Haruno walked into the bathroom with a strangely suffocating feeling.

She has a habit of showering in the morning, which allows her to wash her face and brush her teeth at the same time, saving her a lot of time.

A dozen minutes later, with a towel draped over her head, she sat down at the dressing table, completely naked and without makeup. She felt much refreshed and no longer bothered by so many inexplicable things.

Holding a hairdryer in one hand and unlocking the screen with the other, Yukinoshita Haruno checked her calendar for the day while drying her hair.

"Nothing today? Tsk, I should have gotten up later..." She pouted in disappointment, closed her calendar, opened Instagram and scrolled through it, liking every post and update to maintain her social media presence.

My finger paused for a moment when I scrolled to a food blogger's account.

"The latest spicy ramen, the artisan's masterpiece? Wow, it looks so spicy! I hope eating this won't kill me..."

He recited it with lingering fear, but couldn't help swallowing.

A look of eager anticipation gradually appeared on Yukino's face as she murmured to herself, "However, it's worth the challenge!"

"It's okay if he can't take it, just let him..."

"he……"

The sound suddenly stopped, like music that had been poorly edited, falling silent without any continuation.

Yukinoshita opened her mouth, looking bewildered and helpless.

"who is he?"

Would anyone kindly help her when she can't eat such spicy food?

No one like this has ever appeared since I was born...

Moreover, her spicy food adventure was originally planned for her to challenge herself and get excited. Neither her friends, mother, nor her sister had ever mentioned it, so how could anyone possibly accompany her to do something so meaningless?

"call……"

Pressing her chest, Yukino took a few deep breaths to make sure her heart was still there and hadn't disappeared because of the inexplicable pain.

She turned off Instagram and put her phone aside, deciding to ignore this perplexing and frightening feeling and take a few more hangover pills later to alleviate it.

Although she has a high alcohol tolerance and almost never gets drunk—there are always exceptions.

The steady sound of the hair dryer gradually stopped.

Yukino Shino shook her still-warm hair, her smooth yet disheveled black hair draped over her shoulders, giving her a somewhat languid beauty.

Hair care usually takes a lot of time and effort, but now that I live away from home, I'm too lazy to be so particular; as long as it's blow-dried, that's fine.

She picked up the cheap wooden comb from the dressing table and gently combed downwards from the top.

"puff!"

Feeling an itch on her scalp, Yukinoshita couldn't help but burst out laughing. She looked like an idiot in the mirror.

She didn't put down the comb, but instead raised her slightly trembling hands and combed the comb a few more times.

Every time the comb brushes against my scalp, it feels like a tingling electric current is transmitted into my nerves, and I feel an itchy sensation all over my body.

Finally, she couldn't help but put down the comb and burst into manic laughter.

"Pfft, pfft hahahahahahaha—"

The crisp laughter echoed in the room for a long time.

After catching his breath, Yukinoshita Hiyano's face flushed as he began to calm his breathing.

After laughing, tears streamed down my face and wouldn't stop for a long time.

"Hey, are you kidding me...?"

"Huh? Why would I cry for no reason?"

"Wait, this is hilarious... Me? Crying? Huh?"

"Just a cheap comb, and you don't even know where it comes from... Ha, that's really stupid. I'm not that sentimental idiot Yukino."

"..."

"Waaah..."

"So, why is that..."

No matter how much I say, I can't hold back the tears that are about to burst forth.

"Why is this happening...? Can anyone tell me?!"

Her answer went unanswered.

With her palm pressed against her eyes, Yukino Shino bit her lip tightly, the bitter and salty tears directly taking over her taste buds.

No masks, no lies, not even the will to put on a brave face.

She was just like a child who had suffered all kinds of grievances but didn't know who to confide in.

She began to sob softly in the room where she was all alone.

"You're the one who's a big liar..."

Who you are and what you lied about are still unknown to her at this moment.

.........

……

...

"It's rare for me to get up so early."

Yuu Tenkuji opened the French windows, stretched, walked to the balcony, and leaned against the railing, which was cold from the dew.

Disneyland seemed to be facing east, so when he looked in that direction, the sun was rising right there.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a golden light bathed the clouds, and the warm light and gentle birdsong ushered in the new day, as all beautiful things gradually awakened.

Some people enjoy watching the sunrise precisely because they are drawn to this scene of everything restarting, filled with hope in the quiet.

Eternal night does not exist.

Because as long as you are willing to wait, sooner or later the sun will rise from the eastern mountains, illuminating all the darkness and timidity, and encouraging those who are unwilling to move forward to take their first step today.

Yu Tenkuji leaned against the railing, watching the gentle morning light bathe the city, and watching the night melt away like snow.

Her eyes, illuminated by the light, narrowed slightly. After a long while, Yuu Tenkuji spoke softly:

Good morning, a new day.

In his eyes, the sunrise of yesterday and today has not changed.

"Target: Undetermined."

Ending Remarks

To be honest, I never thought I could write 260,000 words about my first girlfriend.

The original outline was for the story to begin with a breakup crisis before the book goes on sale, but I thought that this setup wasn't enough and the emotional impact wasn't strong enough, so I decided to lengthen it a bit to make it more complex and engaging for readers.

And so it stretched out to a hundred chapters.

Many people complained that the first chapter was too long and lacked the intensity of the chaotic battle, saying they were tricked into reading it... Well, I personally think it is long, but the character of Yang Nai has already established herself in the story, so I'm not worried that she will become one of those assembly-line heroines who will leave readers with no impression whatsoever.

If I can achieve this, and readers are very vocal in their criticisms, and the book's sales haven't declined significantly, then I feel that although there are flaws, they are somewhat acceptable—anyway, there's no way to change them now, hehehe.

However, the number of subscribers has dropped a lot because of my unstable update schedule and the slow pace of the plot... I know, I know it all too well!

So, for those readers who haven't subscribed to the entire collection yet, oh dear! Start ripping them off!

In the second volume, the entire story will officially unfold, and the number of characters will increase dramatically.

After the start of the school year, not only the main heroine, but also the heroines who haven't yet become main characters will appear, some will become targets, and some won't...

The intricate relationships will become tangled like a ball of yarn, and the protagonist's special abilities won't just be used to pick up girls...

I can confidently say that it's a story that will leave readers eagerly anticipating its release.

As for what happens next, I won't spoil it here. You can imagine for yourselves. Anyway, I'm not going to plagiarize book reviews when writing a book! (With complete confidence)

And let me state upfront, there will be no death games! There are no kayakini in this world, but because of the plot, virtual stealth games are very advanced!

I would break down if I wrote a death game in a slice-of-life style... Of course, there will still be ordinary virtual games, and the foreshadowing will also be revealed.

Please look forward to it... my 27th bonus chapter! (crying emoji)

Chapter 1: Working is Impossible

For students, Tokyo during the summer vacation is as relaxing as ever.

After washing up and changing out of her pajamas, Yuu Tenkuji went downstairs on the stairs that were bathed in golden sunlight and resembled piano keys.

As he walked into the kitchen, he was also reminiscing about the love story that lasted for thirty-three days, a story only he could remember.

It's truly strange to know that you once liked someone, yet feel no excitement when you recall it.

how to say……

It's like watching a favorite cartoon from childhood for a few seconds out of nostalgia, then casually changing the channel out of interest.

"Hmm~"

Stretching vigorously, Yuu Tenkuji stretched her arms and legs in the kitchen, laughing easily and happily.

"This time, I have to be a really good 'rent-a-boyfriend'."

He has made a decision: in order to break free from the dog system while remaining mentally sound, he will henceforth live the life of a working person—no matter how attractive his next target may be, he will never give her his heart.
