Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Even more miserable than Bai Yuming's life before he transmigrated. At least Bai Yuming had friends during his student days, although they lost contact after graduation.

It's not that we're withdrawn, it's just that our friendship isn't deep enough for us to contact each other every day.

He is also the type of person who doesn't like to bother others and never takes the initiative to contact anyone. Over time, the relationship naturally fades away, which is quite similar to the Japanese.

"Anyway, it's a good result that I didn't develop a split personality. I just didn't expect that I would be the means to control Hikari. I guess this can be considered 'saving myself'?"

Because the original Kuroba Akira would never agree to her sister's reincarnation plan and would definitely try to escape her yandere-like sister.

He believes that a sister is a sister.

Moreover, younger sisters always have to leave their older brothers when they grow up, which is why Kuroba Akira was able to say goodbye to his sister and leave his hometown so readily.

"So, Myo-kun... you really don't want to accept Hikari-chan?"

Anri Hitomi asked the most crucial question, and Shion also stared intently at Kuroba Akira's face, not wanting to miss even the slightest change in his emotions, wanting to know his true thoughts.

This is actually what the two of them most want to know.

Is Akira Kuroba able to accept eternal love and companionship?

"Um……"

Kuroba Akira crossed his arms and frowned as he pondered.

The two were clearly disappointed by this reaction.

Is 'forever' really too heavy a word?

However, what Kuroba Akira said next gave them some hope.

"Actually, I didn't really refuse..."

Yes, for Shiraha Akira, who doesn't have a younger sister, the plan for his sister's brother to reincarnate wasn't so evil as to be completely unacceptable.

What does it have to do with me, who doesn't have a sister, if my brother doesn't accept her?

This is also the biggest difference between him and the original Kuroba Akira; he did not limit himself to the identity of the older brother.

Even if he fully experienced the original Kuroba Akira's memories, he probably wouldn't be able to empathize, because it wasn't his own life experience.

To Kuroba Akira now, Ameha Hikari is more like a younger sister he's adopted, or a younger sister from a remarried family, and she doesn't feel like a real person at all.

If Amehiro knew this news, she would probably be laughing in her dreams. The part that she thought was the most unsolvable, the resistance from her brother, has actually been resolved on its own. Is there anything more wonderful than this?

Therefore, Akira Kuroba's hesitation lies in other aspects.

After organizing his thoughts, he began to speak eloquently.

"As you probably know, I was originally someone who was reborn once, a dead person resurrected by Kuroo... Yomijin-sama. Actually, this isn't much different from Hikaru's plan, is it?"

"Now that you mention it, that's certainly true... So, Your Majesty, is it because you've experienced it once that you've gained some insights?"

Anri Hitomi continued to press for answers, and Kuroba Akira nodded.

"Pretty much. It's a bit heartless to say, but I've completely accepted my new life and have absolutely no desire to go back. And that's the problem."

"...I see...My current thoughts are not the same as my future thoughts."

Ziyin immediately grasped the key point and understood what Kuroba Akira meant.

"Especially after being reborn, will you care more about the present than you did in the past?"

Hitomi Anri was the same, and then she also fell into deep thought about it.

“That’s right. I’m completely different after my rebirth. To put it nicely, it’s like ‘looking forward,’ but you could also say it’s like ‘forgetting my roots.’”

In the past, when Kuroba Akira read those Japanese time-travel novels, most of the protagonists had a very strong belief in returning home, which Kuroba Akira found very hard to understand.

After all, in Chinese online novels, the protagonists who travel to another world rarely want to go back; for them, time travel is actually the beginning of a new life.

As a result, Kuroba Akira never considered going back, and instead adopted a "what's done is done" attitude.

Although Kuroo made it clear that there was no way to send Kuroba Akira back, even if he could go back, Kuroba Akira probably wouldn't choose to go back now.

After all, he already has someone more important here.

The only thing that made him feel guilty was his parents... that they had to bury their child.

But how should I put it? Being given a second life is already luckier than winning the lottery. It's because I got this opportunity that I can think about these things. If I hadn't been resurrected by Black Tail, I would have been completely dead and wouldn't even have any thoughts.

"And let's not even talk about Second Life, time alone is enough to change a person's thoughts a lot... Since I've lived ten years longer than you, I guess I have more authority to speak on this."

Just like Kuroba Akira has forgotten the name of his first love, ten years is enough to completely change a person.

Even the deepest memories and strongest feelings will fade with time.

"People change, thoughts change, and feelings change too... I know everyone is looking for unchanging feelings, and I long for that kind of relationship myself, but no one can guarantee that they will never change."

The most convincing evidence is themselves.

"You two have changed a lot after meeting me, right? And it's not just because of me, you've influenced each other, and your thoughts have changed again, right? Last year, I couldn't imagine that the two of you could calmly soak in a hot spring with me."

"..."

The two exchanged a glance, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"I'm confident I can love you all for a lifetime, and I believe you'll love me for a lifetime too, but what if it's several lifetimes? Nobody can say for sure about the next life. If we really follow Hikaru's plan to reincarnate, we'll all become siblings then, okay? Will things really be the same as they are now?"

In this life we'll be husband and wife, in the next we'll be siblings.

Having never been a younger sister before, the two of them couldn't imagine what changes would occur if they became younger sisters.

The two swallowed back what they wanted to say, because they knew that it would be meaningless to verbally promise that they wouldn't change now.

After all, it's easy to say, but to actually do it requires time to prove.

"Of course, I'm not saying you will definitely change, but I'm just saying that if you keep using 'forever' and 'absolute' on your lips, there will be no room for regret."

So you can't make absolute statements, or you might end up getting hit by a boomerang.

"I've only lived a little over ten years longer than you, but life is several decades long. No one can guarantee that our minds won't have problems in the long run... You've seen Xiaoguang's situation, haven't you? Her mental state is not optimistic. The memories of thousands of years have had an immeasurable impact on her."

At first, Hikaru Tenyu only wanted to return to her brother's side.

It was only later, as her obsession grew stronger, that she came up with the plan to reincarnate her brother.

My sister is truly amazing (in a double sense).

“I cherish the bond I have with you all, but I think we shouldn’t make decisions too early. If we feel we haven’t lived enough when we’re about to die, it’s not too late to start a new life.”

Therefore, the conclusion is that the reincarnation plan will be temporarily suspended.

Just like dating before marriage, spending a lifetime together is a test period for being together forever.

Let's live this life well together first, and then decide about the next life.

Chapter 466 Are you the nemesis of yanderes?

Kuroba Akira's words left Hitomi and Shion speechless.

He always speaks his mind simply and directly, without any deception, which is why he is so touching.

Anri Hitomi gave a helpless wry smile, then pointed her index finger at Kuroba Akira's lips and said.

"We were supposed to be the ones persuading you, but we ended up being persuaded by you, wise ruler. As expected, your most powerful weapon is your mouth; it's as nimble as a snake..."

Hitomi and Shion have fully experienced the flexibility of talking and kissing in a dual sense.

That's why he was possessed by a giant serpent and became his younger brother.

"I knew this would be the outcome. In the end, you and I asked this question because we were unsure of the wise ruler's thoughts, right? Not being rejected is already a good result."

Ziyin was quite satisfied with the result. Kuroba Akira did not refuse to stay with her forever, but he believed that whether their feelings could withstand the test of time still needed to be tested. This was very much in line with his style, which was quite pragmatic.

Ziyin, on the other hand, had complete confidence in this regard.

Shion Murasaki and Hikari Amamiya are actually the same type of people. They are both driven by emotions to live. Hundreds and thousands of years will only deepen their obsession, but will not make them back down or give up.

This is the power (and horror) of someone with a naturally romantic mindset.

Then Ziyin gave Anri Hitomi a provocative look, meaning, 'If you can't keep up, you might as well quit now.'

However, Anri Hitomi's goal from the beginning was to obtain pure affection, and she had previously thought of using time to eliminate others; now it's just that the time span has changed from ten years to a lifetime.

Hitomi Anri and Akira Kuroba are the same type, belonging to the "practice makes perfect" school. If even time cannot change their feelings for each other, doesn't that just prove that it is the purest kind of love?

Once the proof is complete, the reward will be that pure feelings have been granted a permanent term.

Is there anything better than this?

Early withdrawal? Not possible.

Gravity felt more intense, but less suffocating.

The scheming and intrigue have now turned into a marathon of burning love; whoever gives up first will fall behind.

However, while persevering, it is still necessary to try to replenish supplies and make oneself more hydrated, so Ziyin asked again.

"But, my lord, I have a question. Although you still have decades to live, you don't intend for Tsukimi Ran to remain your wife forever, do you?"

"Probably not. If you care a lot about the marriage certificate, you can wait until I help Yiyi meet Kikurihime, then divorce her and marry you."

"With whom among us?"

"Ziyin, don't make things difficult for me... We can all marry each other and then divorce after a while, making everyone my ex-wife first. Then, if Senior Miao can really get the polygamy law passed, I'll get married to all of you."

Although it is very troublesome for the staff, it is a necessary measure.

"If the polygamy bill doesn't pass, then let's all have a meeting to discuss the timing and order. Everyone can take turns being my wife. That's it for this life. We'll talk about the next life next time."

If they were truly reborn as siblings, it would only make things more complicated.

Anri Hitomi smiled.

"Hehe, it's just like being on duty every day... Is this a wife on duty every day? But changing her every day seems too frequent. Just handling divorces and marriages is troublesome enough, changing her every week is also too much trouble... How about a one-year wife?"

"What's the order? How do we decide?"

"It would be fairer to decide by drawing lots, or perhaps a wise ruler would decide."

"Um……"

Ziyin hesitated for a moment, and both Kuroba Akira and Anri Hitomi assumed that she was dissatisfied, but they never expected that her next words would be...

"But Mingjun, isn't it too heartless of you to bring up divorce so soon after getting married? Don't tell me, Mingjun, that Lan Yi in the moonlight has clearly developed feelings for you."
