Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"You were scared just now, weren't you?"

"Oh!? No, wait a minute. Let me sort this out." At this moment, Reina Kariyu seemed not to have realized what was happening yet; her mind was a jumbled mess that needed to be sorted out.

Lin Yan continued speaking to Himawari Chizuru.

"Smile again."

"Take it back."

"Laugh again."

"Your smile is so awful!!" Reina Kariyu seemed to only realize this at that moment.

Then she couldn't help but burst out laughing. What kind of clumsy girl could there be in this world? It turned out it had all been a misunderstanding, all stemming from a clumsy smile. Reina Kari couldn't help but loudly complain as well.

"That's not a smile! Have you ever looked in a mirror?! You smile like that at someone without saying a word, what do you think they'll think! I always thought you looked down on me!"

"I only smiled at you because I wanted to be your friend."

Chizuru Himera answered very sincerely that this was indeed what he thought, but it had the opposite effect.

"Hahaha!" Reina Kari laughed even more unrestrainedly, almost unable to straighten her back. Tears streamed down her face from laughing.

The tense atmosphere eased instantly.

All misunderstandings have been completely cleared up.

"Ha, you're so silly. Oh, I misunderstood." Reina Kariyuu said with a smile to the silly girl in front of her. At the same time, Reina Kariyuu was very grateful to Lin Yan for standing up for them. She didn't expect this boy to be so thoughtful, so soft-hearted, and so gentle at such a critical moment!

This must be the gentlest treatment in the world.

“My strength is that I’m very smart,” Chizuru Himeragi suddenly said, changing the subject. Reina Kariyuu clearly didn’t catch on, her eyes filled with deep confusion.

However, the tension had completely disappeared, and the atmosphere around them was relaxed.

"What?"

“If there’s something you don’t understand, look it up yourself. If you still don’t understand, ask questions and try your best to solve the problem. The downside is that I have absolutely no interest in the people and things around me,” Chizuru Himeragi continued earnestly. Chizuru Himeragi had never told anyone else these things; she only confided in Reina Kariyu, whom she considered a close friend. Chizuru Himeragi wanted to make everything clear and didn’t want to leave any regrets.

"Because of this, I don't know how to interact with others, and I'm afraid it has caused trouble for many people. I think I've also unknowingly offended others. There are many things I haven't done well enough, and now I want to change myself."

"Kari-kun, would you like to be friends with someone like me?" Chizuru Himeshi continued to ask him.

"Nice to meet you, Chizuru Himeragi." Rena Kari, you've completely understood Chizuru Himeragi. The misunderstanding between them has been completely resolved, so there's no more conflict. However, on the other hand! You have to acknowledge me as your rival! I won't lose next time! I'll definitely get the silver collar clip to show you!" Rena Kari was now completely fired up.

Having such an upright and honest opponent for serious competition is the best and most satisfying choice. The two of them can absolutely be friends or rivals! Only such a friendship can last.

"If you want it that much, I can let you have it in the next exam..."

"That's not what I meant! I did want the collar clip, but that's not what I meant! If you dare to go easy on me, I'll break off all ties with you right now!" Chizuru Himeragi was still as stubborn as ever. Since Rena Kari had already figured out this idiot in front of her, the girl naturally understood that he didn't mean any harm, so she explained to Chizuru Himeragi.

Reina Kariyuu truly realized that this was a simple misunderstanding, but because of her narrow-mindedness and selfishness, she did such a terrible thing to Chizuru Hishiro, and her attempt to evade responsibility for the consequences she caused was truly wrong.

She bowed deeply, her attitude very sincere.

"I'm so sorry about what happened. I deeply regret it. I will never do such a thing again. I'm so sorry."

"I forgive you."

At this moment, Chizuru Himeragi felt a strange, unprecedented feeling. When Kario looked up, he saw a bright, smiling face. This smile was like a May breeze brushing against willow branches, or like brilliant sunshine pouring in through the window, filling the entire space and dispelling all darkness.

Such a smile is so natural, so gentle.

This was also the first time Lin Yan had seen it.

"Because we are friends."

"What? You can only laugh!"

"I smile no matter what."

"Stop lying!!"

"You tattled on me to the Japanese agent, didn't you?" The message from Kariyo arrived on Lin Yan's phone. Lin Yan glanced at it; it was truly difficult to guess what this young woman was thinking. Immediately afterward, Kariyo Rena posted an emoji that said "Thank you."

"Thank you anyway."

……

After that, the two parted ways, but Ye Mingliao shamelessly followed them. Lin Yan preferred to be alone late at night. But Ye Mingliao clung to him like a stubborn leech, impossible to shake off.

"What are you taking pictures of?" Lin Yan asked Ye Ming, who was taking pictures. This guy sometimes does some inexplicable things.

"The test subject who smiled after receiving a text message from a high school girl."

"Delete it!!"

"This is for writing reports..."

"What do you mean, why are you drinking at my house?! What's going on?!" Lin Yan was holding a beer can, half of which was empty.

It's perfectly normal for men to drink beer, but minors are not allowed to drink alcohol.

If Chizuru Himera saw this scene, she would be so shocked that her jaw would drop. Just imagining the scene is hilarious.

"What's wrong with having a drink on a day like this! Today is the perfect day for you to successfully mediate their friendship!" Lin Yan said, taking another sip of his drink.

It's really quite leisurely.

Ye Ming, however, spoke with a mouthful of complaints.

"Seriously. I have class tomorrow!"

“You used to be a useless NEET, but now you’re very serious, Mr. Lin Yan.”

"I'm not a NEET! I have a job!"

"That's really rude!" Ye Ming didn't actually know the real Lin Yan. This was a man who was revered as the Flame God, a man who stood at the pinnacle, but now, relying on his perfect acting skills, he had become an unsuccessful man who had failed in his career and was even chosen as an experimental subject.

Was what I said to Kario correct?

"what?"

"Because the reality is that I, this naive young man who couldn't fully mature, became a NEET, while those guys who bullied others are probably still leisurely continuing to work. I really dare to say those nice things even though I know reality isn't that easy."

"Perhaps those are indeed nice words. But they are not lies." Ye Ming's tone was very certain, and also sincere.

"I think so-called 'pretty words' are just superficial packaging of things you don't agree with. But you're not like that. What you say comes from your genuine hope, so isn't that good? This is exactly what someone who has seen the dirty side of society could say, and I admire you for it. I think the reality is that this society is indeed not easy. However, the idea that those who oppress others can climb to the top is definitely not the truth."

"!".

"Kari is still a student. As for the rest, let her decide for herself when she becomes an adult. After the rebirth plan ends, although she will forget about you and won't remember who you are, there will definitely be a lingering memory in her mind that someone scolded her with those words when she was in her senior year of high school!"

"That's it."

"However, I think you're really just the pot calling the kettle black!" A casual retort.

"!!"

"It's not just about rankings compared to others that matters? You're anxious because you're behind those around you, and you're pretending to be working. You really dare to say that. Don't give up trying? You're tired of society and just keep procrastinating as a wage earner. You really dare to say that."

"Shut up!! I'm aware of what you're saying!!"

"Hahahaha!" Laughing, Ye Ming suddenly said this to Lin Yan, his question quite sincere, as it had been on his mind for a long time. Although it was for work, feelings inevitably developed during their time together; after all, no one is without feelings.

"What do you think of the Rebirth Plan?"

"Ok?"

"Do you feel it's time to re-examine yourself in a positive light?"

"Your all-knowing look is really infuriating!!"

"a ha ha ha!"

Yoru also left before the last train. After Yoru left, Chizuru Himeragi's LIME message came through.

As expected, the two, having cleared up the misunderstanding, have become true friends. This is probably the first real friend that Chizuru Himeragi has ever made. It turns out that things she always thought she could never do have become much easier after taking that first step. The nightmares of the past are gradually dissipating, and she believes that one day the clouds will part and the sun will shine through.

"Thanks to you, I talked to Kario-kun later, and it seemed pretty good. This time it wasn't a misunderstanding on my part; it really was good. I'm sorry for the trouble. Thank you."

However, the same old-fashioned information remains unchanged. This is probably a habit formed over a long period of time in the workplace. Sometimes habits are truly terrifying; they subtly and gradually seep into every detail of our lives, like a frog being slowly boiled in water.

……

The next day, noon.

"I told you not to take pictures!!" Lin Yan said to Ye Ming. This guy really never forgets to record anything. Rather than believing that Ye Ming is a serious worker, it's more accurate to say that he just wants to capture some interesting shots.

He's a real wolf in sheep's clothing.

"I'm going to start."

"I-I can have lunch with you!" Chizuru Himera met Reina Kariyu just as she was about to have lunch. Her shy tone was so cute, but Chizuru Himera didn't seem to catch Reina Kariyu's shyness.

"It's okay, actually. I like someone too." What a rare blockhead! It's rare for a girl's mind to be so rough. Reina Kariyuu had to muster up all her courage to come over, but Chizuru Himeragi actually pushed her away.

The intention was to avoid causing trouble for Reina Kariyu, but it turns out she came voluntarily. Sometimes accepting someone's kindness is a friendly gesture; constantly refusing under the pretext of "not wanting to trouble others" is actually quite hurtful.

"This won't do!! Didn't you want to change things!?" Reina Kariyuu had made up her mind to stop running away. She wanted Chizuru Himeragi to stand in the sunlight as well. This kind of friendship was true friendship, and it was the most beautiful chapter of youth.

"Then please take good care of me, thank you." Chizuru Himeragi no longer refused. Deep down, she longed for the companionship of friends. After all, this was the part of her life that she truly desired and yearned for most: good friends with whom she could talk about anything.

"No, no need to thank me! We're friends! This is normal!"

……

Ye Ming was also secretly observing the situation here.

[Ding! Please read the information about Ye Mingliao to obtain 50 Silver Fragments.]

Although Lin Yan's ultimate goal was to leave this place and return to his original world, he also made these good friends in this world.

[The person in charge of the Rebirth Experiment Report is Ye Mingliao, and the subject is Lin Yan]

May 2nd

As mentioned in yesterday's report, Rena Kari and Chizuru Himiro reached a reconciliation thanks to Lin Yan's efforts. They were also seen having lunch together today. Although it wasn't my doing that Lin Yan was chosen as the subject, I genuinely think it was wonderful that he was selected as No. 002.

[The person in charge of the Rebirth Experiment Report is Ye Mingliao, and the subject is Lin Yan]

May 4th

The second day of the Golden Week holiday. Subject Lin Yan had no planned itinerary for this long weekend, so we agreed to let each other rest during this time. However, my supervision wasn't thorough enough. I never expected that kind of thing to happen.

Even after I finished typing all the words at night, my heart was still pounding.

At the same time, Chizuru Himeragi was also lost in thought, and her mood underwent a subtle change, especially concerning one person.

This feels like something that has never happened before in Internet Explorer; it's an unprecedented experience.

Love?

A special emotion that arrives quietly.

Chizuru Himeragi searched for her feelings online, and the result was—love. This is love, this is the first stirrings of love.
