"I never expected that Onoya's free-spirited style of sticking to Mr. Lin Yan would actually have an effect here."

"Hehe. I've been preparing for this day from the very beginning."

"Yes, yes, you're the best."

"Thinking about the distance between my senior and Ms. Nidai last year, I thought maybe I could use that as an excuse."

"Now I'm injured too."

"I'm sorry, but since we can't outsmart her, we can only rely on psychological warfare!" Onoya Anne's smug smile revealed her true intentions to everyone. She then suddenly changed her expression and continued, "But judging from her expression, she definitely doesn't believe our explanation."

“Yes.” Yoru Akira agreed, nodding as he said, “But it’s also very interesting to see what action Miss Himawari will take next.”

"That's right."

"Be very careful, we absolutely cannot let it slip and ruin Mr. Lin Yan's rebirth."

"That's right."

The ice in the iced coffee had melted, and Yoru picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and then looked at Onoya. Onoya said to Yoru...

"Senior, although the fact that Mr. Lin Yan was taken from me has indeed been bothering me, you actually really wanted to support Miss Ridai until the very end, right?"

Ye Ming took a sip of coffee, still holding the cup in his hand, and then suddenly spoke.

"I'm sorry. I actually adopted a victim mentality back then."

"There's nothing we can do about it. In fact, Onoya, you didn't do anything wrong. It's because of my grades and proposals that this happened."

Yoruichi recalled the day his superiors assigned him the task, with Onoya An standing beside him in front of the section chief. Yoruichi's proposal was to extend Hishiro Chizuru's experiment, and he wasn't sure what the chances of approval were. Yoruichi maintained a calm facade, but inwardly he was extremely nervous, lacking any confidence in his success.

I'm waiting for my boss's approval. Will he actually agree?

"So, Yoruaki and Onoya. Regarding the test subjects for next year, firstly, it's the second-year extension project for No. 001, Himiro Chizuru, and for No. 002, it's Lin Yan. So, it's decided that these two will be the two of them."

"That's great, senpai!" Onoya An's morale soared, and she couldn't help but break into a bright smile. However, Yoru Akira was still somewhat worried, but she had already started celebrating in advance, "The proposal for the second year has been approved!"

"Well then, Ye Ming, although this is somewhat sudden," the section chief explained the next steps. "Could you please contact Lin Yan and sign a contract?"

"Oh?"

Onoya An had assumed it was her job, but Yoru beat her to it, and the section chief's announcement was so abrupt. This was hard for Onoya An to accept; her voice, filled with resentment and anger, rose several decibels as she shouted, "Wait a minute! That's my job!"

“Onoya is in charge of Chizuru Hishiro’s affairs.” The section chief’s tone left no room for doubt. He continued calmly to Onoya, “Therefore, Onoya will be transferring to Aoba High School as a third-year student. The school site survey and all related procedures will be handled by you.”

"Wait a moment."

Ye Ming was completely dumbfounded.

"I hope to continue serving as the person in charge of Miss Japan for the second year."

"Ye Ming." The section chief didn't give Ye Ming any chance to explain. "Look at the results of the whole year, do you still have the nerve to say such things? If there's no achievement this year, then it's meaningless. Replacing the person in charge and injecting new vitality is only natural."

Ye Ming was speechless, but Onoya was so angry that he was trembling all over, and his voice was shaking.

"So, Mr. Lin Yan's supervisor isn't me, but your senior?"

“That’s it.” The section chief remained unyielding. “Now comes the important part: Lin Yan will be assigned to the same class as Chizuru Hida. Conducting a rebirth experiment with multiple subjects in such close proximity is unprecedented. The other divisions are also very interested in the effects and actions that will result from the encounter between Subject No. 001, who lacks interpersonal communication skills, and Subject No. 002, who has been hurt and lost confidence due to excessive concern for others. You two leaders need to find ways to create opportunities for these two subjects to interact. However, in Chizuru Hida’s eyes, Lin Yan is just a high school student, and in Lin Yan’s eyes, Chizuru Hida is also just a high school student. We want to minimize the possibility of unnecessary solidarity among the subjects knowing they are both adults. The experiment will end immediately if a third party discovers this; this rule also applies to the interaction between the two subjects. Remember this, understand?”

Anzu Onoya, trembling with anger, knew that the decision was made and could not be changed, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Yes."

"Yes."

Although Yoru felt sorry for Onoya An, he was helpless; he had to obey the tasks assigned by his superiors.

"Yoru, you will continue to be the person in charge of Miss Days in the first semester."

"Oh?"

"Since Yoruaki is no longer in charge, but is still staying at school as a senior high school student, it must seem very unnatural to Ms. Himeyo, right?"

"But if I'm responsible for observing two people, even if they're in the same class, there will be times when I can't take care of them all, right?"

"I'll leave this part to Onoya. I'll need you to conceal your identity and transfer to the same class as an ordinary high school student to assist Yomei's work in the first semester. The formal handover will begin in the second semester. It would be easier if you were a freshman, but transferring two test subjects and two supervisors to the same class is normally not easy. It was only because of Yomei's proposed second-year plan that it was made possible. The director and the others are also looking forward to the results. So I'll leave it to you two."

come back to the office.

Yoru felt utterly apologetic towards Onoya, so he spoke up, "Onoya, I'm sorry. It's all because of my proposal to extend Ms. Hinoyo's stay for a second year that things have turned out this way."

"How disgusting. Didn't I tell you before? What you're doing is awful, senpai. This is a decision made by higher-ups, and we can't change it. It's not your fault, senpai." After saying this, Onoya stood up and said to Yoruaki, "Then, I'll take my leave."

"Onoya!"

As Yoru watched Onoya An's departing figure, he helplessly clenched his fist.

Now that things have come to this, we must find a way to make amends.

If we run away, the problem will never be solved, and we will not only be letting down Anne Onoya, but also being irresponsible to the experimenters.

……

Time returns to the present, and Onoya also picks up his coffee and takes a sip.

"I was really shocked at the time, thinking that the higher-ups were messing things up again. However, the meeting between Ms. Nidai, who was completely clueless about interpersonal relationships, and Mr. Lin Yan, who couldn't stand by and do nothing about Ms. Nidai, did have a synergistic effect. Looking back now, the decision I made back then was actually not bad."

Now both sides have let go of the misunderstanding, and the mistake has been cleared up.

Ye Ming walked to the computer desk.

“I’ve already submitted the handover report to my superiors. The wiretapping privileges were transferred to you a long time ago; this is the final part.” These were Chizuru Hiya’s files. She handed all the files to Anne Onoya and then said to her, “I’m entrusting Ms. Hiya to you. Anne Onoya?”

"Is this really a good idea? Is it really okay for me to continue to incite Miss Nichidai to get close to Mr. Lin Yan?"

"I often feel uneasy. Is it really a good idea to deliberately bring these two people into contact with each other? If one of them weren't a test subject, but a real high school student, then at least the forgotten self could retain memories. Whether choosing to carry those memories into a new life or seeking a reunion, there would still be a chance to rebuild the relationship. But even if they both remember everything else in the end, they will completely forget each other. Wouldn't that mean they won't even have the chance to recall anything? They can't do anything or leave anything behind, whether it's memories or anything else. If spending time with Mr. Lin Yan can inspire Ms. Ridai's romantic relationships, it might make her life smoother in the future."

“I understand the reasoning. I know it’s all for the sake of a successful rebirth, but… I can’t help but hope that Miss Riyo won’t meet someone else after the experiment, but will instead spend a happy future with Mr. Lin Yan. But no matter how attracted they are to each other, and how much they fall in love, the day when everything returns to normal will eventually come, and it’s so heartbreaking to have to witness all of this happen.”

"I'm so unwilling to accept this..."

Onoya Anzu's voice grew lower and lower as she spoke.

His voice was choked with emotion, and he even shed tears. At this moment, Ye Mingliao walked over and gently rubbed his head, his voice very soft.

"As a research institute employee, how can we worry about the end? The purpose of rebirth is to live in the present, right? In order not to have any regrets, we must do our best to support you. It's really shocking and a little disgusting that the usually fearless Onoya is showing such a weak side in front of me. If you always have that deadpan face, wouldn't the subjects be pitiful?"

Onoya An smiled somewhat shyly.

"I'm sorry. Finally reaching this moment of handover makes me a little sentimental."

"Shouldn't I, as the former person in charge, be the one feeling sentimental?"

"Haha, you're right!"

A huge weight was finally lifted from Onoya Anne's heart, and she stood up and said.

"That's right! Always frowning, isn't that just like our senior last year!"

"Are you deliberately picking a fight? I'm happy to oblige."

"hey-hey."

Onoya Anne smiled brightly, regaining her usual cheerful self.

"Just as my senior treated Mr. Lin Yan with great care, I will also treat my senior's first subject with great care."

"Well, please."

……

Chizuru Himeragi lay on her bed in her room, sighing. She was trapped in a mental loop, unable to escape a dead end. No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't arrive at the answer she wanted. It was an unsolvable puzzle; once the mechanism was triggered, the game would end.

Then.

Since it yields no results, is it meaningless?

My head is throbbing with pain, but I still can't come up with a solution.

We'll be separated next spring, so this kind of distress is pointless. So why can't we give up?

Indeed, the switch on one's emotions is not something one can control.

Once it arrives, it will devour everything like a raging flood, and even the calmest person cannot remain absolutely rational.

And the words Ye Ming had once said came to mind.

"However, I'm quite surprised. You, who used to be completely uninterested in your surroundings, are now observing someone so closely. It seems you've changed quite a bit."

There's also a quote from Anne Onoya.

"Are you so concerned about whether Lin Yan is a test subject because of curiosity? Or is it more than that?"

As these words floated into her mind, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, a conclusion that made Chizuru Himeragi's eyes widen in surprise.

Has her affection for Lin Yan reached such an urgent point?

[Rebirth Experiment Report Leader: Yoru Akira; Subject: Himawari Chizuru] August 19th

Only one week remains until the end of summer vacation. The test subject, who had been hesitant since the fireworks festival, made a dramatic move on the final day of make-up exams and tutoring, asking me, "Was Lin Yan also a test subject?" Although I managed to bluff my way out of it, she still seemed suspicious. Even though it was sudden, I successfully handed over the work to Onoya. This is the last time I'll be writing a report for Himiro Chizuru, but I'm still very much looking forward to seeing what surprises she'll bring in the second semester.

"Because she showed me that potential today. Her perseverance despite her clumsiness has inspired me a lot."

Thank you sincerely.

It's wonderful to be able to become the person in charge of Chizuru Hishiro.

[Rebirth Experiment Report Leader: Onoya Anzu; Subject: Himyo Chizuru] August 26th

The second semester begins today. It's been a long time since we last met, after a summer filled with many events. Although I had made various predictions beforehand, things have far exceeded my expectations.

morning,

On the way, Lin Yan stretched and yawned, looking listless and sleepy.

This is the first day of the new semester after the summer vacation ended.

"You look terrible this morning, dear Lin Yan." Ye Ming suddenly appeared and patted Lin Yan's junior from behind. "What's bothering you? Is love so hard? The atmosphere at the fireworks festival was pretty good, wasn't it? She probably likes you, I've told her so many times... Oh, right, I have to clarify, I only lent her my hand at the fireworks festival because she had trouble walking."

Ye Mingliao kept talking, but Lin Yan didn't mind. He knew that Himawari Chizuru didn't have any feelings for Ye Mingliao.

"Forget it, I don't want to talk about that anymore." Lin Yan didn't want to dwell on these trivial matters, especially discussing romantic topics with Ye Ming.

But Ye Mingling wouldn't let it go and leaned closer, speaking to Lin Yan in an ambiguous tone.

Have you finally realized you've fallen for a high school girl?

"I never said anything like that! And I didn't notice anything!"

"Haven't we seen each other in a long time? You're so cold."

"Yeah, whatever makes you happy. I don't want to talk to you."

"I miss Lin Yan so much, it's been so long."

"It's disgusting."

At this moment, although Ye Ming was talking sweetly to Lin Yan, his attention was actually on someone else: Himawari Chizuru. He was just trying to make it look like ordinary high school boys were playing around, so that Himawari Chizuru would think that Lin Yan was just an ordinary high school student.

However, it remains to be seen whether this approach will be effective.

"Good morning."

Good morning, Hiyo-kun.

"morning."

Chizuru Himeragi, Ryo Yoru, and Lin Yan greeted each other, and everything seemed peaceful and harmonious, as if there were no problems. Chizuru Himeragi did not show any awkwardness or inappropriateness that might have been caused by something that had happened between her and Ryo Yoru.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside? I need to speak with Lin Yan privately for a moment." This statement caught Ye Ming off guard.

Ye Ming's first reaction was, "Could it be a confession?"
