Chapter 33: Tachibana Rui Looks Very Moist

The next morning, Tachibana Hina was awakened by Tachibana Rui.

Having consumed too much alcohol last night made her head ache, and she didn't look very well.

"Are you okay?"

Murakami Yuu inquired from the side with sincere words, while also feeling somewhat guilty inside.

After all, if he hadn't been hinting and guiding from the side last night, Tachibana Hina wouldn't have finished off all that beer in one evening.

Thinking of the happiness and fulfillment he h...

Chapter 32: Guess What Level I'm On

"Rui, huh..."

Tachibana Hina smiled and drained the beer in her hand, then showed a nostalgic expression.

"How should I put it... since she was little, she's been a very well-behaved child, but one who didn't fit in well with others."

"Oh? How so?"

Murakami Yuu quietly reached for the beer on the tea table, but Tachibana Hina snatched it back with quick reflexes, swiftly pulling all the beer in plastic bags to her side and giving him a challenging look.

Are you s...

Chapter 31: Conversation with Tachibana Haruna

After hearing this, Tachibana Hina slowly sat up, stretched, and settled down beside the tea table, taking out a can of beer and opening it.

"So I was discovered? I worked so hard to maintain my initial position without moving at all."

"After all, that night at the bar you drank four bottles of high-alcohol beer continuously, and at the end you could still walk home steadily with a normal expression.

I don't think two cans of beer could knock you out."

After hearing Mu...

Chapter 030: What Did I Come Here For Today?

Night fell, starlight filled the sky, and the stone lamp posts around the hot spring pool in the garden officially activated, emitting orange-yellow light.

Murakami Yuu's mood was very subtle, and this subtle feeling came from his current environment and the person not far away.

Tachibana Rui was wrapped in a bath towel, sitting in the square hot spring pool, her flushed face showing a slightly unnatural expression.

"You were the one who said it was fine to soak together, bu...

Chapter 029: Unexpected Encounter at the Hot Spring Resort

Considering they would be soaking in hot springs later, the three didn't eat too much at the restaurant.

After finishing their meal, Tachibana Hina drove out a rental car from the parking lot. Both Tachibana Rui and Murakami Yuu ignored her request for one of them to sit in the passenger seat to keep her company, and both got into the back seat.

Throughout the journey, Tachibana Hina was in a grumpy state, muttering complaints about how little Tachibana Rui should have been a more...

Chapter 028: Undercurrents Are Stirring

"I really didn't expect that Sawamura-san would actually take the initiative to ask me to stay for lunch."

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had come to the Sawamura residence, was invited by Eriri to stay when she was preparing to take her leave around noon.

"I just thought that since it's already lunchtime, and considering that if you went back now you'd just be stuck on the train with an empty stomach, I felt a bit sorry for you. Don't misunderstand anything."

Eriri was busy in the ...

027: Unable to Understand Without Seeing with Your Own Eyes

"Why did you come to my house?"

On Sunday morning, Eriri stood at the entrance of her home, questioning Kasumigaoka Utaha who had arrived uninvited.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't get annoyed by her tone, but responded quite calmly,

"Naturally, I came to visit because I have business to discuss. However, Sawamura-san, is it your way of hospitality to have a guest who traveled all this way stand outside for conversation?"

After hearing this, Eriri couldn't help but gri...

026. The Matter Comes to an End

From first meeting Tachibana Rui to their current understanding, Murakami Yuu didn't dare say he knew everything, but he still understood her general situation.

Her parents divorced when she was very young, and she and her sister Tachibana Haruna lived with their mother.

Their family circumstances weren't very good when they were small—their life was quite tight. Children who grow up in such an environment lacking love and security understandably wouldn't have cheerful, o...

025. How About Telling Her This News

Time came to Saturday morning at a certain café by the main street in the city center, where Murakami Yuu and Tachibana Rui sat huddled in a corner position by the edge.

Today they weren't out on a date, but had other business to attend to.

The two occasionally cast glances at Tachibana Haruna, who sat by the window.

She had ordered a cup of coffee and sat there quietly, occasionally raising her hand to check the time on her wristwatch.

"It seems the person she's wait...

024. Making a Game That Satisfies Him

The next day's lunch break.

"What's wrong? You look listless."

Iizuka Takeya sat down beside Murakami Yuu with bread and milk.

"Huh, do I?"

Murakami Yuu yawned and took out a bento box from under his desk.

"That's the third yawn I've seen from you today."

"That many? But I really didn't sleep well last night..."

Murakami Yuu opened the bento box, which contained cut sandwiches, and handed one to Iizuka Takeya.

Iizuka Takeya shook his head, took ...

023. You Must Have Dreamed of Something Very Sad

I'm really stupid, truly...

Murakami Yuu's current feeling was regret, deep regret.

Located near his residential apartment was a large plaza with a well-stocked supermarket, but it had been over forty minutes since they left home, and Murakami Yuu still hadn't taken a single step into the supermarket.

As for the reason...

Murakami Yuu held women's clothing in his hands, looked at the long queue in front of him, then at Tachibana Rui beside him with her hopeful expressi...

022. Eriri is Thinking

Having witnessed the confession incident that occurred after school yesterday, Eriri's emotions were now somewhat chaotic.

Although Murakami Yuu's clear rejection of the confession made her breathe a sigh of relief, the scene of that sweet-looking girl standing on her tiptoes to directly kiss him made her heart, which had just settled down, rise up again in an instant.

Her feelings at that time were like the indignation and helplessness she felt as a child when her favorite...

021. The Idiot's Cooking is Surprisingly Good

The time reached 11:30 PM. After watching Tachibana Haruna walk out of the bar's front door, Murakami Yuu let out a long breath.

The mission was completed quite well—not only did he get her contact information, but his relationship with Tachibana Haruna had even reached the point where they could joke with each other.

Murakami Yuu felt that things had gone so smoothly not only because of his looks and flawless response tactics, but also because those few empty beer bottles had h...

020. Murakami Yuu Begins His Performance

When did she change from being cheerful and outgoing to her current reticent personality?

Tachibana Rui had thought about this question before, but the answer she came up with wasn't very clear.

It might have been because she was affected by her parents' divorce due to their incompatible relationship. The three women depended on each other, and compared to her peers, she experienced the hardships of life too early.

It might have been because of the increasingly fat or...

019. Using You to Defeat Him

The doorbell rang.

Not long after finishing his bath, with his hair still damp, Murakami Yuu looked through the peephole and saw an unexpected person.

"How do you know where I live?"

Opening the front door, Murakami Yuu asked the nighttime visitor calmly.

"Iizuka Takeya told Yuko, and Yuko passed it on to me."

Tachibana Rui answered honestly while raising her arm to hand over a small dessert box she was holding.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"A visiti...

018. The After-School Confession Incident

The bell rang, and this interruption made the teacher who was imparting historical knowledge frown with dissatisfaction. Originally, he had wanted to drag on for another ten minutes to finish explaining these key points, but seeing the students' somewhat eager and restless expressions, he sighed inwardly, closed the textbook in his hands, and gave up on that plan.

"We'll cover the remaining key points in the next class. Of course, if any students can't wait and need help, you can come d...

017. Murakami Yuu's Mini-Classroom is Now in Session

Coming out of the not-so-crowded campus store, Murakami Yuu had acquired a box of pre-cut sushi rolls and a bottle of purified water.

Originally, he had planned to make his own bento for lunch today, but after having that bizarre dream last night, he really wasn't in the mood to cook this morning, so he could only make do with this.

On his way back to class after changing into indoor shoes, he unexpectedly encountered a familiar person.

"Yuu..."

It was Eriri, who had j...

016. Aki Tomoya's Pure Passion

"H-how is it?"

Eriri stood to the side with her arms crossed, trying to make her voice sound less urgent than it was.

"It's great! She's a cute girl who immediately makes you feel fond of her. I think it's wonderful. If she becomes the main heroine, many people should like her. Eriri is really amazing."

Kato Megumi's gaze left the computer screen as she gave the first positive evaluation.

"Although it's just a rough draft, it's much better than the previous one."

015. Club Application Forms

Lunch break, faculty office.

Murakami Yuu sat on the sofa in the conversation area, hands placed flat on his knees, looking well-behaved. On the table in front of him was a freshly filled cup of strawberry milk, its sweet aroma detectable from far away.

Sitting across from him was his homeroom teacher, Sakata Gintoki, who drained his own cup of strawberry milk in one gulp, then pushed up his glasses before raising his lifeless dead fish eyes and slowly speaking:

"Seri...

014. The Dream That Suddenly Descended Was So Real

Murakami Yuu jolted awake, his heart beating rapidly and fine sweat breaking out on his forehead.

He sat up and looked around, then after thinking for a moment, reached out to pinch his own face.

There was pain. The phone alarm he had set before going to sleep last night was also ringing.

A few rays of sunlight slipped through the gaps in the curtains, he could hear occasional car horns from the street, there was a half-drunk juice on the bedside table, and there was ...

013. Guess

It was a beautiful sunny day with clear blue skies.

The wind carried pink cherry blossom petals, and there was a faint fragrance of grass and trees in the air.

Murakami Yuu lay with his eyes closed in a drowsy state under a large tree with dense branches and leaves, feeling the pleasant sensation of spring breeze flowing through his limbs in the tree's shade.

Suddenly, the soft pillow-like object under his head moved, and he heard a girl's bell-like gentle laughter from abov...

012. That Sense of Dissonance

Night had already fallen, and it was approaching seven o'clock.

After all the cooking was finished, Ogiso Setsuna stayed behind as usual every weekend to taste the dishes she had made together with Murakami Yuu.

"I feel a bit embarrassed... I feel like my character setting now is that of a shameless person who comes to mooch food at a fixed time every week..."

Ogiso Setsuna blushed and muttered quietly. Although this wasn't the first time, whenever she sat at Murakami Yuu's ...

011. Cooking in Progress

"Don't grind the pork in the meat grinder for too long. If the blades rotate for too long, it will destroy the fibers in the meat and make it lose its natural texture, so this is about right now.

When marinating ground meat for hamburger patties, spices are essential. Everyone has different methods—I'm used to using onions and a little crushed ginger. Setsuna, you can adjust according to the eater's taste preferences. There's no fixed way to do this."

...

"Don't blanch the...

010. Cooking Special Training to Enhance Femininity

The moment Iizuka Takeya opened the door and saw who was there, he knew exactly what he needed to do.

First, he enthusiastically stepped aside and said to Ogiso Setsuna:

"Oh, it's Ogiso-san. Please come in, Yuu is inside."

Then he turned back and shouted into the house with a louder voice:

"Yuu! There's an emergency at home, so I'm leaving first!"

After Ogiso Setsuna took off her shoes and entered the room, without waiting for Murakami Yuu to react, he directly p...

009. An Afternoon with Both Bad Friends and Beautiful Girls

Murakami Yuu returned home carrying fruit.

As he stood in the entryway taking off his shoes, he unconsciously muttered "I'm home," then paused in surprise and chuckled to himself.

The first thing he did upon returning home was turn on the air conditioning in the living room to release cool air, then went to take a quick shower. After simply drying off his body, he collapsed on the sofa, eating the grapes he had just bought while watching a comedy TV show.

This god-lik...

008. Please Forget What Happened Last Night

Sunday's weather wasn't very good. Dark clouds covered the sky, and intermittent raindrops fell from above, striking the windows and making continuous, irregular light sounds.

Murakami Yuu quite liked rainy days, especially rainy rest days, as it meant he could stay home all day with a clear conscience. After all, doing so on bright, sunny days always carried a slight sense of guilt, but on rainy days there were no such concerns.

As for today...

Looking at Tachibana Rui curl...

007. Urusai! Are You an Old Man?

Murakami Yuu's first reaction was surprise.

Are girls nowadays this direct?

After Tachibana Rui said those words, she lowered her head again, slowly returning to that calm expression, and released her grip on the corner of Murakami Yuu's clothes.

"Why me?"

Murakami Yuu asked.

"You're good-looking, you give me a good feeling, and with you... it shouldn't be too much of a loss."

So being good-looking really lets you do whatever you want... But didn't you thin...

Chapter 6: If Possible, I Want to Sleep with You

Young people always get acquainted quickly. After learning each other's names, under the leadership of the mixer organizers Iizuka Takeya and Takanashi Yuko, the atmosphere in the small private room quickly became lively.

Toritsuka Reita was sparing no effort to curry favor with the girls: "Eh? Yuko-chan can also play the harmonica? You're really multi-talented."

Takanashi Yuko was in a good mood and quite pleased, but she didn't forget to boost her companion from the side:...

Chapter 32 Begins

"Maybe, no matter the outcome, at least we tried."

Bruce smiled and asked another question.

"By the way, earlier you mentioned that there are many parallel universes in our cosmos. Does that mean there’s another version of me in those universes?"

Norin nodded.

"Of course. Outside this universe, there are countless others, each with its own unique events and outcomes."

"Then, if you have time, could you ...
