My love game with them that will lead to certain death

"It's just... because your demeanor and appearance are too similar to his. Except that your complexion is completely different and you are not as lazy and depressed as him. Instead, you are very polite and know your place."

"I don't feel offended. Rather, I feel very happy when a mature and elegant older sister comes to talk to me."

The curly-haired boy had a sincere smile on his face, which stunned Yukino, who was originally leading the entire conversation. She didn't know how to respond in a more appropriate way like an elder.

"And I can sense that my friend with the same name as me is very important to you, sister."

Ming Hai drank up all the black tea on the table, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Yukinoshita really loved this thing as much as she had for decades.

However, after the first simulation, through the system's explanation, he also learned that Yukinoshita had only been brooding over him since then, so there was evidence of her special affection for him.

Compared to her, I seemed like a twisted scoundrel who had committed many evil deeds and was always flirting with other women.

But Ming Hai didn't care about this.

"Well...his existence is very important to me, even after he has been gone for more than ten years."

Thinking of the old friends, a hint of nostalgia and remembrance flashed across Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes.

"But unfortunately, we don't have that much time to confirm what position each other occupies in each other's hearts."

“There’s just no time for that.”

Although he made an expression that showed he knew nothing about this, Ming Hai nodded in his heart and confirmed what Yukino said.

And what was very cruel was that even though the two of them were in a relationship where they could rely on each other in the first simulation, he still retained the memory of that time——

However, it is impossible and unacceptable for him to recognize her as "Sawamura Spencer Toru".

In this world, they are just strangers who have just started talking to each other.

"What a shame, I missed it like that."

He could only use this kind of formulaic regret to respond to the feelings that Yukinoshita had never conveyed to him.

"If you could go back in time, would you choose to express your feelings to him in advance? You sound like you really like him."

And use this kind of temptation to indirectly find out Yukinoshita Yukino's true thoughts.

"That's impossible, because he is actually my sister's ex-boyfriend."

"Oh...I see. The adult world is really messy."

[Your complaints about yourself are also a kind of black humor. ]

"It wouldn't be so fun if the system told you this."

If they were still in the same identities as before, and neither of them had any subsequent experiences, he would still be happy to hold her hand again and embark on a new round of adventures - but this time it would not be to escape from anyone.

Unfortunately, all of these are impossible.

"I'm sorry to have you listen to me babble on and on for so long without any point."

As a rational and reliable adult, Yukinoshita Yukino certainly knows how to make up for it after doing something unexpected due to her emotions.

She calmly reached for the shoulder bag beside her and took out a delicate and small wallet.

"You can order anything else you want to drink. You're welcome."

Ming Hai finally knew what type he liked - he was not in love with his sister or had an Oedipus complex, he simply liked rich women who could give him a sense of security and were full of mature charm.

“Damn it, after becoming a financially independent wealthy woman, Yukinoshita’s charm has increased more than five times…!”

However, in this simulation, I am also a child of a wealthy family, so I don’t have to rely on beautiful young rich women for free. What a pity. (Sigh)

"It's okay, I can pay for it myself."

But just as Yukinoshita Yukino took out the money and Ming Hai stretched out his hand to refuse -

This scene, which could be easily misunderstood, was seen by the girl with blonde twintails who had come to the library to look for her brother.

“Tōru——? Where are you going to slack off again… huh?”

Her gaze suddenly froze at the moment when the boy's hand rested on a stack of cash.

Chapter 16 He’s just my brother…?

Indeed, Eriri Sawamura knew that her brother, Toru, was undoubtedly the most popular person both at school and in social occasions where the family needed to attend.

He has an imposing appearance and outstanding abilities. His behavior may be a little eccentric, which may cause criticism from some people, but he can easily get the desired results as long as he wants.

Such a brother is the center of everyone's attention, and naturally overshadows Eriri. This is a fact that she doesn't want to admit but has to admit.

Naturally, many girls of the same age - or rather, girls older or younger than him - are attracted to him because of this. In Eriri's opinion, this is an indisputable fact and very normal.

But given my brother's conditions, if he wants to have in-depth contact with a woman, there's no need to charge money, right?

Or do they actually have that kind of relationship?

"No matter if it's that kind of relationship or not, this shouldn't happen!!"

Miss Eriri, whose thoughts were influenced by her own understanding, said that she didn't understand it, but was greatly shocked.

How could that unattainable, charming, weird old man suddenly turn into such a vulgar pretty boy?

Without even a moment to mourn the past, it was Eriri who rushed to the scene, having completely misunderstood the current situation.

"Tetsu! I've just been looking for you for a long time. What are you thinking of hiding here?!"

Without thinking, she rushed forward with big strides, stood between the two of them, and cast a burning gaze at the curly-haired boy who had his hand on the money.

The emotion in her eyes was clear and understandable.

"We are not short of money at home, why would we sell our bodies to a rich woman to do this kind of business?"

And Ming Hai also understood what his sister was thinking. He sighed and took his hand away from the banknotes handed to him by Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Of course it's because my lovely sister left me alone after being surrounded by other girls, and she never bought me coffee... If it weren't for this kind sister who saw through my needs, I would probably be alone here with no one paying attention to me."

"Come on, if he wants someone to accompany him, no girl would refuse him."

But Eriri understood that this was her brother's way of showing weakness and being humiliating. If she really argued with him seriously, she would fall into his trap.

Besides, he never concealed his frankness and honesty in saying "Compared to other girls, my sister is the most important", and Eriri actually benefited from it to some extent.

“Could it be that I misunderstood… But why would this strange sister who looks so elegant be with Toru…”

"Because your brother looks a lot like an old friend of mine."

In order to answer Eriri's doubts and to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, Yukinoshita Yukino spoke up to explain.

"I took the liberty of talking to him, and I knew that this behavior might be a bit abrupt, so I invited him to sit down and have a cup of coffee, that's all."

She must have seen Eriri's worry and that's why she explained it in such detail - I don't know if it's because Miss Yukinoshita Yukino has made great progress in her emotional intelligence as she has grown older, or because Eriri is a very easy to understand person who can clearly see what she is thinking on her face.

“I-So that’s how it is… I thought…”

The convinced blonde girl with twin ponytails turned her head away a little embarrassedly. Realizing that she had misunderstood something, she buried the lower half of her face in her hair, looking extremely embarrassed.

"What do you think? This crazy old man gradually lost interest in the girls around him, so he started to hook up with an older sister he didn't even know?"

"Well, it's not impossible..."

"Although I have to admit that I am indeed that kind of person and this possibility is very high, but this time you really wronged me."

"No Lu Sai, anyway, Che, you just have the desire but not the courage, I know this better than anyone else."

"Really? I have the desire but not the courage? Do you want to try it?"

"Pervert, trying anything will only hurt you!"

Looking at the brother and sister bickering and arguing, the smile on Yukinoshita Yukino's face deepened a little.

"You two have a really good relationship."

Although they are also siblings, she and her elder sister, Yukinoshita Haruno, can never get along as harmoniously as they do.

"I can't imagine my sister and I being as close as you two are."

"Ah? That's only natural, after all, we are twins. You should be able to see that, right, sister?"

Eriri curled her lips in disapproval and pointed at her own long golden hair and the boy's fluffy golden curls.

Regarding the very obvious and similar physical features between the two, Eriri's attitude has gradually evolved from her previous disgust and resistance to becoming accustomed to it.

"No, what I mean is... my sister and I are far from being as harmonious as you are. Even biological sisters always become alienated or exclude each other because of some barriers."

"for example…?"

"…For example, my sister is far better than me, and I can never catch up with her no matter what."

"........."

Eriri, who had originally not taken it seriously, remained silent. The situation of the Yukinoshita sisters was actually very similar to her current situation.

“But, that guy told me that I didn’t have to chase him.”

When mentioning a certain person, Yukino's expression would become gentle again - but there was always a hint of sadness at the corners of her mouth.

"Just be a deserter and escape from everything that makes you feel upset... He taught me the "cheating technique"."

"Could that person be..."

"Yes, that's the old friend I mentioned who looks like your brother."

Yukino shook her head and said something in a very casual tone that made Eriri remain silent further.

"He hasn't been here for long though."

Even though Eriri was slow to react, she understood the meaning of this, so she was very tactful and didn't ask any more questions.

He just turned his head and looked at his brother.

That also sounds like something he would say.

It seems that this strange sister's old friend is indeed very similar to Che in some aspects.

She knew her brother too well - the woman in front of him was the type he would like in every way, whether in her words, actions, or gestures.

It just so happens that the person that this strange woman can't forget for a long time is not much different from Toru...

Ying Lili swallowed and looked at her brother with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

I don’t know what he thinks of the woman in front of him at this moment.

Because she knew that even though her brother was a man who could laugh heartily, it was difficult to guess what he was really thinking.

The same is true now.

Chapter 17: Brother-control revealed

Before ending the exchange activity organized by the class, Ming Hai and Yukinoshita Yukino, who were having a great time chatting, exchanged contact information under the gaze of the somewhat uneasy Eriri.

Even though both of them were just saying polite things like "Let's go out for a cup of tea and chat when we're free," most people wouldn't ask the other person out again after saying that, but Eriri always had a feeling that "they'll definitely meet again next time."

She didn't know why, but that was how she felt.

What made Eriri even more confused was that she had no idea what might happen in the future.

There was actually a hint of resistance and unhappiness.

Why does this happen?

"He's just a cocky Toru... I don't understand what such an elegant sister likes about him."

He just has a good-looking face, a decent figure, top grades, a quick mind and is good at talking...that's all.

"Tetsu, you're not really planning on asking that sister out to play when you have time later, are you?"

Although she said she didn't care, Miss Eriri couldn't help but express her thoughts in a clumsy way on the way home.

How could Ming Hai, who was sitting next to her, not hear the hidden meaning of her words?

"Of course, not only do I want to ask her out, but I also want to find a way to have a romantic comedy-like relationship with her - the sweet and beautiful life of being kept is waiting for me in the near future."

"Woohoo, young grass eats old cow."

"I was just joking, but don't let anyone else hear you. It would be a bit rude, Eriri."

"Besides, do you know her? You're just imagining your future life..."

"The Yukinoshita family, how could you not have heard of it in Tokyo?"

"Eh? Snow...under what?"
