Chapter 1: Pochi-chan, you don’t want your secret to be known, right?

“Question: How can one have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time?”

Kitahara Makoto felt that he was very qualified to answer this question.

"Thanks for the invitation. I'm on Sun Island and just crossed over."

"The solution is simple."

"As long as you travel back in time to the body of a sixteen-year-old high school student, you will be able to experience youth and the feelings of youth at the same time... The taste is like mixing beer and liquor, with a strong aftereffect, so please don't try it lightly."

Looking at the handsome boy in the mirror who looked exactly the same as in his previous life but was obviously much younger, Kitahara Makoto was a little dazed.

crossed.

From an adult with good fortune, he turned into a sixteen-year-old high school student in a parallel universe. The strange thing is that the two people look exactly the same, even the position of the birthmarks on their bodies has not changed.

"I don't feel any psychological burden when I travel to a parallel universe..."

Letting out a sigh, Kitahara Makoto couldn't help but recall his past life.

In his previous life, he had finally finished college and was eventually successfully employed by a large company. He thought his life would be stable, but fate played a joke on him.

One day, while staying up late to work overtime, I suddenly felt a dull pain in my waist and abdomen. After enduring it for a while, I could no longer hold on and went to the hospital for a check-up. The results of the test were shocking.

cancer.

Middle and late.

The five-year survival rate is only 40 percent...

Kitahara Makoto opened his eyes, dispelled the past memories in his mind, and then whispered silently:

“Simulator.”

next second.

A transparent pixel-style game panel appeared out of thin air before your eyes.

[Status: Unfinished]

"…You don't want your secret to be known, do you?"

"I know nothing."

Kitahara Makoto sighed helplessly.

"I'm a nerd whose parents are both dead, whose sister has no house, whose friends are nowhere to be found, and whose lunchbox can only be eaten alone in the corridor. You actually asked me to use secrets to coerce others?"

"You are clearly trying to embarrass me, Fat Tiger!"

This thing is a small game created by friends in the patient group in the previous life - "Life Restart Simulator".

After traveling through time, "Life Restart Simulator" actually followed along, but unfortunately it had no intelligence and was even a little mentally retarded.

The gameplay is very simple.

The simulator will release four daily tasks every day. The content of the tasks is different. There will be no punishment if they are not completed. There will be corresponding rewards for completing the daily tasks.

The most important thing is that if you complete all four daily tasks, you will get an extra chance to draw a lottery.

When he was lying in the hospital in his previous life, Kitahara Makoto played "Life Restart Simulator" for a while out of boredom. He knew that daily tasks were usually to improve physical fitness, while the rewards of the lottery roulette were various magical abilities.

There is one ability among them that Kitahara Makoto must obtain at all costs——

A body that is immune to all diseases.

Only those who have truly faced the despair of illness know how important a healthy body is. Makoto Kitahara never wants to experience the desperate experience of lying alone in a hospital bed, silently enduring the pain of cancer again.

The physical fitness of the self in the parallel universe is also poor. The reason why Kitahara Makoto was able to travel through time is because his predecessor accidentally caught a cold one day, and then had a high fever that wouldn't go away, which eventually caused him to travel through time.

So no matter what, the reward for the immune body must be drawn!

Even Jesus couldn’t persuade them!

"...It's a pity that the simulator is a moron."

Kitahara Makoto pressed his eyebrows, his tone helpless.

After the time travel, the Simulator underwent unknown changes. The lottery wheel became the evil "ten-draw guarantee". So far, Kitahara Makoto has only drawn a special ability [Time of the Sage with No Desires] in the first draw, and the rest are all random ability fragments. It has been nearly a month since he traveled through time, and he has not been able to accumulate enough for even a ten-draw.

There's no way around it, some daily tasks are just too stupid.

Squats and trimming horseshoes are all fine, but what's the point of asking yourself to do an exorcism in Tokyo?

It has been nearly a month since he traveled here. During this time, Kitahara Makoto has done a thorough investigation. This is just an ordinary everyday world. There are no ghouls, no other worlds, no Sword Art Online, and he has never seen quintuplets divided into five equal parts in school. However, he has seen the words "Shinomiya Family Consortium" in the news.

So far, Kitahara Makoto has only seen a little socially frightened girl in a daily comic...

In an ordinary everyday world, with no mysterious powers, you issue exorcism missions?

Can't be completed.

It can't be completed at all.

"If you fail to complete all the daily tasks, you will not be able to get the chance to draw a lottery, and you will not get any lottery points. When will you be able to randomly draw a special physique that is immune to all diseases?"

"...It's really a mentally retarded simulator!"

Finished washing.

Kitahara Makoto calmed himself down, picked up his schoolbag, and went out to school.

He is now a freshman in high school. Given a chance to live his life over again, he naturally wants to experience the campus youth that he never cherished in his previous life.

After a while.

Tram stop.

It was mid-April, the cherry blossoms had not yet fallen, but the spring scenery was already bright.

The breeze blew, and in the warm morning light, the pink cherry blossom petals on both sides of the street fell rustlingly. It was a beautiful spring scene, and it was a pity that all the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry and no one stopped to watch.

Kitahara Makoto arrived at the tram station and looked up to see a pink-haired girl with a guitar standing in the corner. She was holding a piece of bread in both hands, her pink cheeks slightly puffed up, and she was eating secretly like a little hamster.

This pink-haired girl has very long hair, with bangs that almost cover her eyes. There is also a slanted hair on the right side. Her eyes are always staring at the ground, as if she is afraid to look at others. Her skin is very white, the kind of white skin that comes from someone who has been hiding at home for a long time and is unwilling to go out.

"Good morning, Goto-san."

Kitahara Makoto walked up to the girl and greeted her casually.

That's right.

The pink-haired girl in front of me is called Goto Ichiri, and she is Pochi-chan from "Rock Band".

He likes to carry a guitar, is extremely socially anxious, looks gloomy, and has the same name... Because of this, Kitahara Makoto judged that this was an ordinary everyday world.

"what……"

Suddenly hearing someone calling his name, Goto Ichiri was obviously frightened and took a half step back in panic like a little rabbit in the forest. He raised his eyes timidly, secretly glanced at Kitahara Makoto, then quickly lowered his head and said in a barely audible voice:

"Good morning, good morning..."

Some time ago, when shopping in a supermarket, Kitahara Makoto helped the other person with a small favor in order to complete his daily task of doing good deeds. Later, he found that they often met at the tram station and their destination was the same high school. After asking curiously, he found out that Pochi-chan was actually a classmate of the same grade as him, but they were in different classes.

After a few interactions, the two sides became somewhat familiar with each other.

At this moment, looking at the little social phobia that quietly raised his eyes, Kitahara Makoto's heart suddenly moved slightly, and a sentence blurted out:

"...Goto-san, you don't want your secret to be known, do you?"

Chapter 2: Exorcism of the Evil Monk Lu Zhishen

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri raised her little face blankly, her pink lips slightly parted, her expression blank, with a few bread crumbs on the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that she thought she was hallucinating.

Kitahara-san seemed to have said something strange just now?

Is it an illusion?

That’s right, I must have stayed up late last night, so I had auditory hallucinations. I must have a good rest tonight...

“It’s not an auditory hallucination.”

Kitahara Makoto lowered his voice, bowed his head slightly, and repeated what he had just said:

"Goto-san, you don't want your secret to be known, do you?"

What has been said can't be taken back.

I'll apologize properly later, now let's finish our daily tasks first!

As long as I can complete 'You don't want others to know your secret, right', the last one 'Do one good deed a day' can be completed easily, and I've secured a spot in today's lucky draw!

"Goto-san, I know your secret..." Looking at the pink-haired little boy with a dazed expression, Kitahara Makoto lowered his voice and said, "You are the popular up-host of Guitar Hero on the Internet, right?"

“…Huh?!”

Goto Ichiri finally came to his senses. His dazed expression disappeared, and his pair of blue eyes suddenly widened. A look of panic appeared on his little face, and his eyes began to look around, as if he was a dog who was caught doing something bad. It must be said that the change in his expression was quite interesting.

"I, I, I, I..."

(My hidden identity has been discovered!)

(How scary, how scary, how scary… Why does Kitahara-san know my true identity?)

(Obviously, I haven’t told anyone except my parents and Erli!)

Kitahara Makoto lowered his voice and continued:

"Guitar Hero is very popular and has many fans in school. If everyone knew Goto's true identity, there would definitely be a lot of people coming to watch Goto."
