How can my daily life of youth be a reincarnation game?

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted..."

"Don't underestimate me. Just by hearing the sound, I can make three bowls of rice."

Sakurajima Mai, who had just apologized halfway, twitched her mouth, took a deep breath, and slammed the door shut.

"You should sleep on the balcony!"

The sofa has been moved out to the small balcony, and the night wind keeps coming in through the open window. Even with 'extreme' physical strength, one can still hear the tossing and turning sounds in the bedroom.

Although he just made his senior blush, the smile on Yuki's face never disappeared. He glanced at the apartment building diagonally opposite and felt that it was quite interesting.

He is different from Hayasaka Ai. He has no intention of putting on a personality mask. He just faces different people and different situations with different mentalities.

'It still has something to do with my first copy. If it weren't for those two, I would definitely go the lone ranger route, and that would be a completely different scenario.'

Cold, decisive, and efficient, this kind of lone player is not bad, but he has two beautiful girls around him who can rely on him. Isn't it crazy for him to continue to follow this route?

"I'm not a masochist, and I haven't forgotten why I worked so hard all these years." Yuki lay on his back, curled up in the soft sofa, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling. When he thought back, his mind was filled with weirdness.

Counting from the bloodthirsty red moon, in just three or four days, he completed the three steps from acquaintance to familiarity and finally to friendship. Now he even lives in Sakurajima Mai's house, and has also increased Hayasaka Ai's favorability.

If it was just a simple cooperative relationship, why would the maid be so angry?

It's strange. Even if I were given a favorability system, it would be impossible for me to make so much progress in just a few days. And I always feel like something is wrong.

Why did I meet Mai Sakurajima and Ai Hayasaka in my first dungeon? Why can these two people and I make up for each other's shortcomings? Why did I find a way to hide my identity when I was worried about it?

Also, if it wasn’t my hallucination, where did the diary go?

There were too many mysteries lingering in his mind, but this time Yuki lost interest in tracing the source, and vaguely heard a word "good night" floating from the bedroom.

He moved his lips, letting sleep replace endless speculation.

"Good night, senpai."

PS: My anxiety disorder has improved a lot and I don’t need to rely on sleeping pills anymore.

The alley fire did not cause any commotion because there were no casualties and it was not even worthy of being on the news.

Kanagawa is still calm. People go to school as usual, and work as usual, as if nothing has happened.

Of course, Yuki would not go to the on-site investigation just to get bored. He stayed in his apartment for several days in a row, eating instant noodles for breakfast and lunch. He occasionally opened his computer to look up some information, and fell asleep when he felt sleepy. He lived a life that could be described as a salted fish.

He only went out once in a few days, which was to go to a nearby demolition site and pick up a lot of explosives and detonators. He had tasted the sweetness of using them in the port area of ​​Yuki under the red moon, and found that these things were more useful than guns.

Time slowed down as well. He didn't know what other players would do after returning to reality, but he had no interest in cramming. Or rather, he had been cramming for almost ten years, and a few days of cramming had done nothing but make himself nervous.

Because he didn't know when the next copy would come, Yuki didn't dare to run around. What if a random task was triggered and he couldn't travel with them? He was really worried about Mai Sakurajima and Ai Hayasaka completing the copy alone.

"Oh, I am really considerate and always think about them."

Yuki threw the leftover instant noodles from lunch into the trash can and stretched comfortably. This kind of leisurely day was quite good. It immediately diluted the aftereffects of the bloodthirsty red moon, as if he had entered another game track.

She stays with the bunny girl senior every day. Although she doesn't do anything inappropriate, their relationship is gradually getting closer. Hayasaka Ai will occasionally come over to exchange information, and then rush back to Tokyo.

So this is what daily youth feels like. Come to think of it, I should thank the reincarnation game?

It's ironic when you think about it, but there's nothing wrong with the logic. If it weren't for the reincarnation game, he wouldn't have the chance to come into contact with Sakurajima Mai and Hayasaka Ai at the same time, let alone establish a solid relationship between life and death.

Every time I brush my teeth, I see the two cups on the sink shelf and the used black stockings in the basket next to the washing machine. These things are enough to make me forget the terrifying red moon.

"Damn it, the reincarnation game has made my life more colorful."

Yuki returned to the living room with a strange expression. All the furniture was piled against the wall, revealing the empty wooden floor. He did not eat and drink for free these days. Every night he would teach Mai some fighting skills.

No matter whether it works or not, at least it can make you feel better.

Click.

The door lock rang, and Mai Sakurajima came back in school uniform. She poked her head in and saw Yuki standing in the middle of the living room. She immediately showed a headache.

"You're staying at home all day again today? Aren't you bored?"

She put down her shopping bags and keys, hooked her legs to take off her leather shoes, and quickly hid her delicate feet wrapped in black stockings into her fluffy slippers.

"I'm used to it. When I was looking up information, I could stay in a rental house for several days, and I could also survive in the wilderness for half a month." Yuki walked over naturally, took the shopping bag, and put it in the kitchen sink. When he opened it, he showed a surprised expression.

"We're having beef curry and watermelon tonight? Senior, do you want to ask me for something?"

"I wanted to eat it myself, so I brought you a portion." Mai was too lazy to respond. After a few days, she had become quite familiar with this weirdo.

Don't try to tease him, otherwise you will definitely be the one who got hurt; don't marvel at his strange experiences, because he hasn't told you about the even stranger ones.

Then the past two days were not as 'terrible' as imagined. Apart from the things related to the reincarnation game, everything was abnormally peaceful.

During the day, she went to school, and Yuki stayed in the apartment, eating instant noodles and looking up information. In the evening, Mai would go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and cook for herself, and Yuki, who had no life skills, would help her.

After dinner, the two chatted for a while and then started practicing martial arts. After the exercise, they did some stretching, said good night to each other and went to bed.

"It's strange, I'm living a healthier life than before, and I'm almost used to this kind of life." Mai glanced at the boy next to her, who was peeling carrots with great concentration.

"Does it feel like you're seeing an old married couple?" Yuki said suddenly.

"Who is talking to you, old man and wife, just peel your radish and wash the beef." Mai immediately looked away and asked casually, "Is there anything unusual today?"

Yuki stayed behind to keep an eye on subsequent developments, saying that it would be dangerous if he went out rashly.

"No, oh, there was a blonde chick wandering around downstairs today, and she seemed to be looking for you."

blond?

Mai paused holding the spoon, her expression slightly tense: "It's Hehua, by the way, she didn't notice you, did she?"

"Hey, are you afraid that she will find me? Does this count as hiding a beauty in a golden house? Oh no, hiding a man in a golden house."

Before he could finish his words, a pair of small black silk feet left the slippers and kicked towards him. Yuki didn't dodge and took the blow comfortably.

"Good side kick, senior sister, you are really a genius. You mastered it so quickly."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out and never come back."

"Okay, okay, I won't disturb you while you're cooking." Yuki begged decisively, then retreated to the kitchen door. As if changing his expression, he instantly became serious. "We'll talk about business while we eat later. After two days, we should have a result."

Sakurajima Mai was in a daze for a moment. She was still not used to Yuki's style of doing things. She was a smiling pig-head just now, but in the blink of an eye, she turned into a rational and calm player.

Thinking about it more carefully, she felt that she was already familiar with this seamless switch. Since they met, Yuki had switched several faces in front of her.

'It is thanks to him that I can live seriously in the reincarnation game without falling into the vortex, being contaminated by blood and cruelty, and becoming a person like Li Dan.'

The girl stirred the curry and found another reason for Yuki to stay overnight.

Ten minutes later, two plates of curry rice were served on the table. Mai also thoughtfully prepared natto soup. Yuki picked up the spoon, took a bite, and immediately closed his eyes happily.

"Yeah, I feel like I live every day just for this bite. I'm almost vomiting from eating instant noodles."

She is indeed the perfect girlfriend, her skills are impeccable.

"There are ingredients in the fridge, why don't you make it yourself?"

"Because I can't cook and I'm too lazy to do it." Yuki answered as a matter of course.

What a lazy guy! He doesn't even know how to do housework. I have to come back and mop the floor every day.

Mai felt that she had finally regained 10% of the advantage. In reality, she was much more reliable than Yuki, and she stirred the rice with a spoon.

"By the way, I told the reporters I know today that I'm planning to make a low-key comeback. Are you sure that's okay?"

"Since you want to return to the entertainment industry, then do it. We may die in the dungeon at any time, so don't leave any regrets." Yuki was eating seriously, encouraging him while explaining: "Besides, a big star's inexplicable withdrawal is suspicious. Think about it, what would the average player do first after returning from the novice dungeon?"

"Take a leave of absence, drop out of school, and cut off from my previous life?" Mai Sakurajima answered without thinking.

"Yes, the reincarnation game will cause great psychological trauma. Even if the person wants to, it is difficult to return to daily life. Some people will specifically monitor this phenomenon."

Sakurajima Mai nodded slightly. She couldn't sleep all night on the first night after her return and had nightmares all the time. Only in the past two days did she feel much better.

Is it the sense of security he brings?

Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly realized why Yuki was allowed to live in the house. It was like a awning that could block the wind and rain outside.

Seeing that Yuki started to smile again, she coughed lightly, decided not to let this pighead get too proud, and quickly changed the subject.

"No wonder I always felt like someone was watching me these past two years. It's only in the past few months that I've gotten better."

"Right, the best way to hide your identity is to not show any abnormality. Also, with your identity, you will be safer even if you are discovered."

Yuki has analyzed this repeatedly in the past two days. The restrictions on players are an extension of keeping the reincarnation game secret. Even if it is the same killing, the targets are different, the impacts are different, and the punishments will also be different.

If a celebrity like Mai Sakurajima were to be killed, the reincarnation game would obviously have to mobilize more resources to cover it up, and the players would not have an easy time.

Mai nodded again. The other party could explain what was troubling her in just a few words. The importance of the matter was self-evident.

"Have you suddenly found that you can't live without me?" Yuki suddenly grinned.

This time Mai didn't answer, nor did she reward the other party with her foot. She turned her head slightly and didn't look at Yuki.

"Humph, I've observed the people you asked me to check. They're all in school, and there's nothing unusual about them."

Koga Tomoe, Futaba Rio and others are living normal lives, and Yuki already knows that the bunny girl senior he met at the beginning was a coincidence and had nothing to do with the reincarnation game.

Mai Sakurajima did not have an outbreak of puberty syndrome at all. She just happened to find the bunny girl suit in the closet and out of curiosity, she wore it at home.

What a coincidence. That’s right, after all, I have investigated Makinohara Shoko.

"I still can't figure out why you were wearing a bunny girl outfit at that time."

"I don't know either. I just put it on for some unknown reason." Mai's cheeks flushed slightly. She was indeed a little embarrassed. "I'm usually not that curious. Besides, it seems that this dress has been in the closet for a long time."

"When did you buy it? Or a performance costume?"

"I forgot. I don't have any impression of it."

It’s a bit like my diary. I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it.

Add one more doubt.

Yuki didn't choose to dwell on it, but simply skipped the question and pushed the empty plate forward.

"Let's talk about the second thing. Have you found any traces?"

These two days are not just for rest, but also for waiting for the storm to pass. Even if there are people waiting, their attention will gradually be dispersed.

So today after school, Mai activated her special ability and went to the fire scene.

"I took photos of any suspicious places. You can see for yourself. If it doesn't work, I'll go again."

Mai pushed the phone over and saw Yuki checking it seriously. She sighed and started to clean up the dishes.

Alas, this pighead escaped from doing housework again today.

Yuki had no intention of being lazy. He slowly slid the screen, carefully observing the details of each photo.

The fire was not big, only burning two houses and a power pole. However, according to his request, Mai took pictures of all suspicious points within hundreds of meters around the fire scene.

Burnt wood piles, empty beverage bottles, and metal fragments left behind...

Hundreds of photos flashed by one after another, and just when the senior washed the dishes, Yuki's fingers paused slightly and slid back to the previous photo.

It was a piece of cloth left next to a trash can at the entrance of an alley far away from the fire scene. It was the size of a palm, with a smooth cut, red fabric, a gold button, and an inconspicuous camouflage cloth next to it.

The second layer of clothing worn under the camouflage uniform is shaped somewhat like part of a cuff, and both have a slight tear at the end.

"It should have been cut in half first, and then the last part was torn off while running fast, but why is this déjà vu? It seems like I've seen it somewhere before."

Yuki closed his eyes and tapped his frowning brows, as countless photos of school uniforms flashed through his mind.

Since this is a world dominated by daily youth, in order to know ourselves and our opponents, we must research each school.

After a long period of research, he is familiar with the school uniform styles in various parts of Japan, especially some schools with key figures, which he has studied repeatedly many times and even knows better than the people in his own school.

It is no exaggeration to say that he can even recognize the wrinkles on a short skirt at Minegahara High School, where Mai Sakurajima attends.

Kamiyama, Hikarizaka, Shimokitazawa, Ohashi, Sanada Kita, Sakakino...

After several minutes, Yuki paused tapping his forehead and suddenly opened his eyes.

Tokyo, Koukou Ikusei Junior High School.
