Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"May I?"

"Of course."

The two people who love each other finally held hands, and this time, Reina Kariyuu was brave enough, while Oogami and Tsubaki will forever protect her. Lin Yan has witnessed too much separation and death, too much indifference and coldness, and too much of the ways of the world, but he still chooses to believe in the love between them.

Meanwhile, Chizuru Himeragi emerged from a hidden corner, smiling as she watched Rena Kari and Kazuomi Oogami depart.

"That was really cute, both Kari and Aya."

"Ah."

"Actually, Kario was planning to confess to Awa today as well."

"Oh." Lin Yan wasn't surprised. After all, if ten people could sense that Karyu Reina's feelings for Oogami and Shin were genuine, sooner or later Karyu Reina would be able to bravely take that step. It was an inevitable thing to happen, so he wasn't surprised. Then he asked Himeki Chizuru, "You knew all along?"

Chizuru Himeragi was quite surprised.

"Yes. To be honest, at that moment I thought that since we knew we would eventually part ways, it was a waste of time to convey our feelings to each other. But after seeing how they looked just now, I felt from the bottom of my heart that it was really good. It is perhaps more regrettable to take the future separation too seriously and give up the happiness of the present."

"Do you understand what romantic love is?" Lin Yan asked.

“How should I put it?” Chizuru Himera paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, “Although seeing their interaction makes me think, ‘This is so nice,’ I still can’t figure out if it’s really that kind of feeling.”

"That's true. The day of parting, or the day of being forgotten, may eventually come, but we always live in the present."

Lin Yan gently rubbed Hida Chizuru's head, a tender gesture that stirred Hida Chizuru's heart.

"You can also make a lot of friends, have a wonderful romance, and fully enjoy this irreplaceable moment."

Chizuru felt the warmth from Lin Yan's palm, and Lin Yan's smile was so gentle at this moment, making the separation all the more painful. In Chizuru's mind, Lin Yan would forget all his memories, including hers. And Chizuru would live with all those memories, filled with regret.

Therefore, this was a wrong relationship.

0139 Ultimately, it's something you'll miss. [Please subscribe]

Since we're destined to miss each other, let's not even begin. Chizuru Himuro told herself, this was to help herself let go of this uncontrollable relationship. Besides, this wasn't the first time she'd experienced something like this; all her past experiences had been just as cruel.

Meeting and parting seem to have become commonplace.

"Yes, I will try my best."

Chizuru Himeragi's voice was very soft, with a hint of melancholy and sadness in it. Lin Yan couldn't help but feel sorry for Chizuru Himeragi in front of him.

"Let's go home." Lin Yan had many things he wanted to say, but in the end, he only said this. He knew that Himeko Chizuru must be struggling with this conflict deep down, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. This was something Himeko Chizuru had to go through, and no one could take her place.

Chizuru Himeragi nodded.

"Ok."

"Honestly! Mr. Lin Yan is utterly useless!"

Ye Ming was well aware of Lin Yan's surveillance by Ye Ming and Onoya An, but he didn't care about such trivial matters. However, Onoya An was full of complaints, much like a gossip expert who was more concerned than the emperor.

"Nothing happened in that atmosphere? We're not innocent high school students anymore!" Onoya An complained.

However, Ye Ming had a different opinion on this matter.

"Mr. Lin Yan isn't the kind of person who would make a move on a high school girl. Wasn't that already proven thanks to someone before?"

“But…” Onoya Anne knew she was in the wrong, and stammered for a long time without being able to say a word.

Then, Yoru continued speaking to Onoya An.

"As people get older, they have more and more things to consider. Mr. Lin Yan is not the kind of person who lives for the moment."

"Is that so?" Onoya An pondered to herself, then asked in confusion.

Seeing Onoya An's confused expression, Yoru Akira continued to explain.

"To give you an example, if I were in the same situation as Mr. Lin Yan, what do you think I would do if I took the opportunity to make a move against a high school girl?"

"That perverted, repressed, lecherous old man." Unexpectedly, Onoya Anne was still able to make fun of him, and at this moment she did not forget to fight back.

Ye Ming explained, feeling both annoyed and amused.

"Even if it was just a joke, you really have the courage to say something like that to your senior, Onoya."

"Really? That makes sense. After all, she's a high school girl who'll completely forget about you later. But seeing how so openly and desperately they're fighting for their happiness makes you smile and think how wonderful youth is. How can you not feel a little tempted when you see others in love?"

"Employees are not allowed to make advances towards male high school students, I'm serious." Yoru saw something was wrong and quickly reminded Onoya An to prevent her from doing anything out of line, because if things came to light, things would be difficult to handle.

Onoya An argued.

"No way!! How could that be!"

"Who knows?" Ye Ming knew that Onoya An was definitely not a kind person; she had always been a troublemaker.

"You're more suspicious, senior." Onoya An's gossip-loving heart ignited again. She looked at Yoru with a mischievous smile, then said with a wicked grin, "When you were being held by the hand by Miss Himawari, didn't you have even a hint of lust in your heart?"

"Indeed. It feels kind of nice to be relied on." Ye Ming answered cleverly, without avoiding the question or being gossipy.

Onoya An naturally lost interest and said sullenly.

"Oh. But back then, Miss Nichiyo even asked you to take her home."

"That was truly unexpected. It was much more effective than any scheme I could devise myself."

"I wonder what kind of reaction this will bring."

"I don't know either. We should probably pay attention to future developments regarding this part."

[Rebirth Experiment Report] August 10th

At the invitation of Oogami and Takayuki, the two of us staff members also went to the fireworks festival. Thinking back to the previous volleyball match, I felt incredibly fortunate to be able to observe the subjects in such a natural way. It should have been. At Onoya Anne's suggestion, we set a little trap to try and influence the subjects' emotions. Onoya Anne was responsible for contacting Lin Yan, while I took the opportunity to contact Himyo Chizuru. Frankly, I didn't like this approach, but if it could help the subjects make some mental progress, perhaps it was the duty of the support staff. Everything was for the success of the experiment. I hoped they could understand using such manipulative methods.

……

on Monday.

"And just like that, I successfully started dating and getting to know Shousheng." Oogami Kazutomi said to everyone with a blush on his face, receiving Lin Yan's blessing without batting an eye.

"Yes, congratulations."

"Too calm! Couldn't you be a little more surprised?" The Great God and his minister were still caught up in their joy and were quite dissatisfied with Lin Yan's indifferent reaction.

Lin Yan explained to the Great God and his minister.

"Because it was already mentioned on LIME, and I'm not worried about the outcome at all, okay?"

"Speaking of which, did Lin Yan and Xiao Xing already know that Shou Sheng also had feelings for me?! So I was the only one who didn't know?!"

As expected, the great god and his minister were still fussing over this point.

"It's strange that you can't tell, isn't it?"

"Speaking of which! I consulted you about many things before and received a lot of help." Da Shen and Chen were very grateful for Lin Yan's help. Then, they rummaged in their bags for a few moments, took out something, handed it to Lin Yan, and sincerely thanked him, saying, "Please accept this. It's a birthday present. Congratulations on turning eighteen."

"Oh, may I accept it?"

"Hmm. If you don't mind, try some. Just think of it as a snack when you're in school. I was thinking of baking a cake since it's a rare opportunity, but it's too hot in the summer, and the whipped cream would definitely melt. It's also inconvenient to bring it to school. So I baked some cookies instead. Don't mind."

"Did you make it yourself?"

It was a bag of cookies. Both the appearance and the ingredients were carefully made. It was clearly made by a skilled person, not a novice.

Lin Yan never expected that the Great God and his minister would be so virtuous. He took a bite and found it to be crispy and flavorful, with a fragrance that lingered in his mouth for a long time.

"Oh, it's delicious."

"Really? That's great."

"If it were a gift from a beautiful woman, I would be several times happier."

"This is terrible, Lin Yan! I'm sorry, I'm a guy, and I have a girlfriend."

"A sand ditch on site...that's not fair!"

To Lin Yan's surprise, after school, when he returned to his rented room, someone suddenly rushed out and shouted at him, "Happy birthday!"

0141 Night of Revelry [Please Subscribe]

The loud sound of the firecrackers and the flying ribbons created a spectacular display.

Ye Ming and Onoya An looked at the dumbfounded Lin Yan. Onoya An smiled at Lin Yan and then said to him.

"Oh no? Has his heart stopped beating?"

"That's a real headache, since they are valuable test subjects."

"What are you all doing here?!"

"We're just thinking about what it's like to be a high school student again, unable to see our loved ones."

"And Lin Yan, who just turned eighteen, was deeply affected by failing the make-up exam and probably had to drink alone in silence."

"I want to celebrate your birthday☆" The two of them talked back and forth, and finally came to the conclusion in unison.

Lin Yan wasn't surprised at all. He took off the ribbon from his head, changed into indoor slippers, calmly walked in, and closed the door.

Did you come in with a spare key?

"That's right, the surprise plan was a great success." Onoya An was quite satisfied with her surprise party, and she wore a smile throughout, as if she were even a little bit boastful.

Lin Yan could only sigh helplessly. He glanced at Onoya An and said calmly.

"This is beyond surprise!! I can sue you for trespassing!!"

"Okay, come in, come in."

"This is my room!!"

That being said, once he got high, he felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, which was a pleasant time for Lin Yan. Actually, he still had to thank Ye Ming and Onoya An; they genuinely cared about him, and he could feel that.

The revelry continued until midnight, and Onoya Anne had already fallen asleep at her desk.

"By the way, Mr. Yeming, I'd like to ask you a question," Lin Yan said to Yeming while drinking beer. "After the rebirth experiment ends, will Mr. Yeming and Xing also disappear from everyone's memories, besides me?"

“That’s right.” Ye Ming didn’t deny it, but explained to Lin Yan, “Because we shouldn’t be living in this era as high school students.”

"Is that really how it is?"

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of this question."

"That's it."

"Alright, it's about time we went." Yoru finished his last can of beer and woke Onoya An by biting her. "Time to get up, Onoya."

"Ah."

Onoya An was still dazed and hadn't even opened her eyes when Yoru helped her up, swaying unsteadily, completely drunk.

"Make sure you get her home safely, okay? After all, she looks like a high school girl," Lin Yan said to Ye Ming, not wanting to miss an opportunity to joke. "Her house should be close to yours, right?"

"No, it's not that close. There's something else..." Yoru Akira changed the subject, "It's true that Himyo invited you back, right? Stop joking, I'm seriously discussing this with you."

"We will eventually disappear, and 'disappear' is the most fitting description." Lin Yan spoke the truth; he would indeed disappear, completely vanish from this world. This was something Ye Ming didn't know; only Lin Yan knew that this was the only ending.

Ye Ming realized he had misunderstood, and then said...

"Indeed, after the experiment ends, all memories of Mr. Lin Yan will disappear. Mr. Lin Yan as a high school student will cease to exist. But Mr. Lin Yan at twenty-eight, and everyone else at eighteen, will continue to exist in this era."

"Even if everything that happened this year is forgotten, there will be many more opportunities to come. I've said too much, please forget about it."

Nightfall arrived and left with a dazed Onoya An, leaving Lin Yan alone.

"It's been a while since we left Lin Yan's house," Ye Ming said to Onoya An.

"So what? Why pretend to be asleep? You were awake from the beginning, weren't you?"

"Oh? I was found out? Because I was thinking that some things can only be talked about between men. I was really expecting Mr. Lin Yan to shout that Ridai is mine and that no one is allowed to approach her!! And then the senior would get a good beating. But Mr. Lin Yan is the type who thinks of others and is always willing to sacrifice himself. I hope he doesn't become too negative during the next rebirth period. Did I do something unnecessary on the day of the fireworks festival? Speaking of which, senior, you gave too much advice just now. If you continue, it will be too much interference."

"You're right. It's all thanks to you." Ye Ming was quite mature and straightforward, and this was his true feeling.

"However," Onoya An thought for a moment and said to Yoru again, "Although this is an experiment to collect samples, the opportunity is rare, so naturally we hope for good results. It's really difficult to get the distance right. No wonder the higher-ups keep changing their policies. Compared to the senior who was always hesitant last year, I prefer the senior who is so proactive now, don't I?"
