My love game with them that will lead to certain death

Eriri crossed her arms in front of her with confidence.

"I'll write out the outline and character settings, and then do some simple storyboards. If Toru is in control of my body a few days before the deadline, I'll just follow the plan and draw."

“Although I’m glad to know what your work is, there’s actually an easier way - that’s to finish all the work for the next period of time before the deadline, and send it out before the deadline.”

"No, that won't work. It's impossible to meet deadlines. I can't do it in my lifetime. If I submit the manuscript early one day, the editor will definitely suspect that I'm possessed."

"Hmm... although it's no different from being possessed by a demon."

Ming Hai complained secretly in his heart, but finally nodded and agreed.

After all, the body-swapping phenomenon that the two of them are facing has no regularity at all, so it would be nice to be able to make some preparations in advance.

After they recovered to normal for the first time, it took about two or three days for them to switch bodies again.

The body swap did not last long, maybe only about a day and a half, before it was switched back again without any warning.

The strange body-swapping phenomenon happened over and over again, and even the duration of the phenomenon varied, with no pattern to be found.

The shortest body swap time was probably only about three to four hours, while the longest lasted almost a week.

This also proves that their previous concerns were correct, and it is indeed better to think more carefully beforehand.

During the body swap, the two basically followed the body swap rules to maintain their seemingly calm but actually turbulent daily lives.

While playing the role of her perfect but eccentric brother, Eriri not only had to study hard to improve her academic ability, but also had to easily take the top spot in physical education class like her brother did on weekdays, and even had to deal with suitors (mostly girls) who admired her brother.

Although very tired, fortunately Toru's physical foundation was very good in all aspects, so Eriri was able to spend every school day playing the role of "Prince Toyosaki" without any danger.

For Minghai, experiencing Eriri's daily life is actually a piece of cake. It is enough for him to grasp the temperament of a young lady who seems friendly and easy-going but actually keeps people at a distance.

What is really difficult is the life as a comic artist for "Kashiwagi Eri".

Anyway, it's really too much to ask a guy like Mudan who has never been in love and has no physical experience to draw an R.18 book. I don't know how a newbie like Eriri who knows so little about gender relations can draw such a realistic male genitals... Wait, could it be that the inspiration came from his own body after a body swap?

The young man Ming Hai subconsciously clamped his legs together, feeling inexplicably as if his innocence was being insulted.

However, relying on the memory of his "intimate contact" with Yukinoshita Haruno in the first simulation, and the outline and storyboards given by Eriri, he managed to complete the drawing of the book.

Although their souls kept jumping between the two bodies, they both perfectly resolved the difficulties they faced, allowing their daily lives, which should have become more difficult, to continue easily and happily.

They were originally somewhat alienated and gradually became estranged, but because of this strange and extraordinary phenomenon, they were able to communicate seriously again, and even rely on each other and have their backs to each other.

Except for sleeping time, they basically stay together all day long and are inseparable, just like they were snuggling together in their mother's womb before birth.

——Until one day, when the siblings were visiting other schools’ cultural festivals as part of their class activities.

The curly-haired boy, who had returned to his normal body for a day, came to Sobu High School with the tour group. Eriri was surrounded by girls, while he found an excuse of "diarrhea" to revisit the old place and planned to walk around the campus alone.

"Based on my previous simulation experience, I don't think I'll meet anyone I know here."

The curly-haired boy was wandering aimlessly in the familiar school. He had originally regarded this trip as a way to relax and have fun, but he met someone unexpected here.

The woman with long black hair and a cold face patted his shoulder.

"Well, I'm very sorry to bother you for a moment."

The woman was wearing a loose and fashionable casual coat, and it was obvious that she was not a school student.

"You make me feel very much like an old friend of mine..."

But the moment he saw her face clearly, Ming Hai was still stunned.

"Can I ask your name?"

The woman who was fully aware of her own offense and abruptness, and therefore had an embarrassed smile on her face—it was Yukinoshita Yukino.

written request for leave

I wonder how everyone is doing during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays! I hope everyone is having a great time these days (*?I`*)

The updates of the past few days were all written while I was traveling and working overtime. I will be going home tomorrow. It is not easy to type in the car because I get carsick easily, so I wrote a leave note and rest at home for a day!

I will continue writing after I have adjusted my state＼(`Δ')／And today's missed update will be made up later, please forgive me(? ? ?? )

Chapter 14: Strange Old Friend

If androids dream of electric sheep, will Toru Narumi meet an old acquaintance from the past in the third simulation?

At first he had no definite idea about this question, until he revisited Sobu High School as a student of Toyonosaki Academy, the answer to this question was revealed.

As he absentmindedly strolled in this familiar yet strange place, he never expected to meet Yukinoshita Yukino.

The library lounge of Sobu High School is also a place combined with a coffee bar for students to have afternoon tea.

The woman with long black hair brought Ming Hai to this leisure area known only to students at school, and invited him to sit down and have a cup of black tea.

Even though Ming Hai knew in real life that this was a great place to slack off or take a nap, given that he was a student of Toyosaki Academy who came to participate in an exchange activity, he could only be led by the woman in front of him.

She asked Ming Hai to order a simple cup of afternoon tea, and she also ordered herself a cup of still warm latte. When the two sat down and looked at each other, the woman showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"…I'm sorry, I guess my presumptuous behavior just now scared you a little."

Upon closer inspection, her appearance was indeed very similar to the Yukino in her memory, or rather, it was the same person - only her facial features and contours had become more mature, and her overall temperament had become more charming because of her elegant dress and mature manners.

There is no doubt that she should be Yukinoshita Yukino who is over 20 years old.

But why did he meet her here, why was she older than himself in the simulation, and what was the reason why she suddenly called him over - Ming Hai didn't know the answers to these questions one after another.

"Not at all. I'm used to being approached by girls. After all, I'm handsome."

Even though there were many unsolved mysteries circling in his mind, Ming Hai put these questions aside for the time being and made a very natural and boastful speech.

"So you think I'm talking to you for the same reason as other girls your age?"

The woman smiled and threw the question back with ease.

"You did a great job, Yukino. If it was you that I know, you would have been cold-faced and mercilessly making sarcastic comments."

"That shouldn't be the case. If it were the same, wouldn't it be illegal?"

The curly-haired boy took a sip of the refreshing black tea and brought up a new topic in a nonchalant tone.

"After all, sister, you look like you are in your twenties, right? I am not yet an adult."

"You're not yet an adult..."

When being stared at by her cold and stern ice-blue eyes, Ming Hai somehow felt a little bit of melting warmth flowing in them.

The woman cleared her throat, sorted herself out, and spoke in a calm and gentle tone.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yukinoshita Yukino, and I am a graduate of Sobu High School."

She gave the curly-haired boy a serene smile, and it was quite novel that such a natural and graceful manner could be combined with the once extremely awkward girl without any sense of incongruity.

"I have graduated from this school... almost fifteen years ago. If you are curious why a former student would return to school after more than ten years, it is because I was invited by my former homeroom teacher."

Perhaps in order to prevent the boy in front of her from being wary and cautious about facing the unknown, Yukino simply and directly explained the reason why she was here.

"Thank you for thinking I'm only in my twenties, but I'm actually almost thirty."

She tilted her head and smiled gently, and this calmness and self-satisfaction are indeed qualities that only people who are a little older and have some experience can possess.

"I can't tell at all. Besides, you have both youthful and mature charms. It seems that thirty is a great age. Time never defeats beauty."

Although it sounds polite, Ming Hai's praise is half politeness and half sincerity.

"Thank you for the compliment. If possible, I would like to go back to your age. There is still a lot of future and possibilities in the youth, please cherish it."

Sure enough, after growing up, Yukinoshita Yukino is not as sharp and unkind as before when communicating with others. Although Yukino, who rushes around without considering other people's feelings and says whatever she wants, has her own charm, it is indeed much smoother to talk to Yukino after she has become socialized.

"By the way, may I ask your name?"

Even though she was an elder who was more than ten years older than the curly-haired boy, her expression was still gentle and calm, and she did not put on any airs of an elder at all.

And Ming Hai realized that he had started to flatter her in a familiar way, and even forgot that this was only the first time they met in this simulation.

"My name is... ahem, Sawamura Spencer Toru, a high school student at Toyosaki Academy."

Although the name was difficult to pronounce and remember, he still managed to piece it together hesitantly.

"Sawamura... I see, your last name is Sawamura..."

"If I can help it, I don't want to have this name. It makes me sound like a gigolo who marries into the wife's family."

But when I think about the fact that my life this time has been basically smooth sailing without any obstacles except for the body-swapping phenomenon that disrupted the rhythm of my life, it doesn't matter whether I change my name or not - anyway, everything will return to its original state after the simulation ends.

"Tetsu...Your name is Tetsu too."

For some reason, when Yukino raised her head while muttering this word over and over again, there was a sad and bitter smile in her eyes.

"It's the same name as my friend's. Your name."

Okay, now we are finally getting to the point and can try to find out what is going on.

"I wanted to ask you just now, sister, you suddenly called me over, is it because I look a lot like your friend?"

Ming Hai, who pretended to be a good high school student, raised his eyebrows and still spoke his mind without any hesitation on this topic.

"Well... there is a resemblance. Although he has black hair, you both have the same curly hair, and if you look closely your facial features are very similar."

"But sister, your friend should be about your age. Does he know that you think he looks like a high school student?"

Ming Hai is good at using a joking or teasing tone to guide the topic in the direction he wants.

"And what kind of friend? A boyfriend? I can't accept that, sister."

"Well...actually the last time I saw him, he was about your age."

Having said this, the bitterness on the woman's face became even more intense.

"He…hasn't been around for a long time."

Chapter 15 The tragic battle between the girlfriend (fake) and the younger sister

"He was a man who was a few years older than me. Although he was smooth-talking and careless all day long, he was more reliable and steady than anyone I knew at critical moments."

Yukinoshita Yukino quietly sipped her warm latte and recounted the past events that she was familiar with.

"But he left without a word when I was very young...about your age. Today, I am much older than he was then."

"From the beginning to the end, I could not grasp the pattern of his actions, nor could I understand his inner thoughts. And this...maybe this is why I am irresistibly attracted to him."

For Yukinoshita Yukino, such tactful words can be regarded as a very direct confession.

"His name..."

The woman with long black hair paused, and then revealed the truth word by word.

"Just like you, my name is 'Tōru'. It's just that my last name is different."

What surprised Ming Hai was not only the bold and straightforward feelings expressed by Yukinoshita Yukino, but also her existence itself.

"Why did the heroine who appeared in the first simulation appear in the third simulation?"

He originally thought that there was also a Yukinoshita Yukino in this simulation, someone he had never met before, but this does not seem to be the case.

"Could this be the surprise egg the system mentioned?"

[That's right! Don't you think it's very friendly? ]

“That’s so scary…!”

The voice that suddenly appeared in his mind caught Ming Hai off guard, but the appearance of the system still gave him some direction for his current situation.

[The person who appears before you now is Yukino Yukinoshita, who was seriously ill and lived and died with you in the first simulation, and was finally saved by you but abandoned by you. She continued to live alone for more than ten years until she "reunited" with you again in this simulation.]

"So, she's not the same Yukinoshita that I met after I escaped from the first simulation?"

[In terms of personality, she is. But if you look at whether they have the same memories, you wouldn't think they are the same person.]

Oh, this kind of mysterious feeling that seems to be true but is not is really a headache.

[Let those important characters in the previous blur reappear in the next adventure. They will not be abandoned after being useless like disposable tools. Isn't this a very humane measure? ]

"Humanization is humanization, and this is indeed quite interesting."

However, how should I face this old friend who is both familiar and unfamiliar?

"I'm sorry to tell you so much right at the beginning. You may think I'm a bit abrupt."

Taking Ming Hai's long silence as an embarrassment of not knowing how to respond, Yukino smiled and waved her hands to admit her own rashness and abruptness. It seemed that after more than ten years, she had become much more sensible.
