Machete Style Anime

He turned his head slightly and saw his girlfriend lying next to him, and all the memories of last night came flooding back.

Kasugano Mirai raised one hand to rub her temples, her head throbbing and her teeth clicking in pain.

Even if he didn't discover the problem at first, he did later find it as the beta test of the game progressed.

However, at that time, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released.

Putting aside his own discomfort at stopping, even "Kurumi Tokisaki" herself didn't want her first experience to end abruptly.

Therefore, last night, he put all his problems behind him and focused on flying to paradise.

Now that he's entered a period of reflection, he has to face a very real problem.

What should I do if I slept with my girlfriend's clone, or her from another timeline?

Kasugano Mirai hadn't forgotten that her girlfriend was jealous when she was forcibly kissed by his clone last time, so she made up for it by going on a date with him.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if his girlfriend found out that he had slept with her but hadn't actually slept with her.

"Hmm~"

Just then, the soft moaning of a young girl caught his attention.

Upon closer inspection, he saw a large, bright, dark eye looking at him with a smile.

Although the owner's eyes were bloodshot due to lack of sleep, this did not detract from her beauty; on the contrary, it added to her sickly appearance.

"The future has been discovered?"

Kurumi originally intended to stretch her body, but as soon as she moved her leg, the sharp pain from her lower body made her frown.

Abandoning her original idea, she leaned against her boyfriend and said contentedly, "How are you going to explain this to me?"

Kasugano Mirai adjusted his sleeping position to make his girlfriend more comfortable before saying in a detached tone, "To tell you the truth."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Kurumi looked surprised.

Aren't you going to make up an excuse to get away with this?

"You should know that, right?"

"Essentially, we are one person, just different versions of myself at different times."

"You didn't do anything to me that night because you were mindful of the Queen's presence, but actually you were yearning for her. So, even if we went to this point, I can understand."

"As long as your reason isn't too outrageous, I might get jealous, but in the end I'll turn a blind eye."

"It was precisely because I knew the consequences wouldn't be serious that I launched a night raid last night."

The girlfriend personally gave advice on how to deal with other girlfriends; anyone else would probably be laughing their head off in that situation.

But Kasugano Mirai is different.

Upon hearing his girlfriend's solution, he remained silent, staring intently at the ceiling.

Kurumi didn't urge him, but leaned against him and closed her eyes to rest.

She didn't know how much time had passed, so much so that just as the girl was about to fall asleep, she heard her boyfriend speak, though his answer seemed somewhat irrelevant.

"Kurumi, do you know what kinds of attitudes boys, or rather men, have towards relationships?"

"Several attitudes?"

"One is 'Long live single life,' which, in the language of novels, means 'If you have no woman in your heart, you can draw your sword with divine power.'"

"The second type is to be single-minded, to choose one person to begin with, to stay with one person to the end, and to be one person for life."

"The third, more poetic way of saying it is, 'passing through a sea of ​​flowers without a single petal touching you,' which essentially means 'pulling up your pants and then denying everything.'"

Hearing this, Kurumi looked curious and subconsciously asked, "Is there a fourth type?"

"Both the fourth and third types can be considered scumbags. The only difference between the fourth and third types is that the fourth type is scumbag because he is fickle."

"He would give his heart to every girl, except that he couldn't give them a whole heart, he was just like the second type in every other way."

Which type do you see yourself as in the future?

Kasugano Mirai glanced at her girlfriend and said in a strange tone, "In fact, before Kurumi, Yoshino, and Nanami appeared, my philosophy was the first one: long live being single."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurumi couldn't help but ask, "Long live being single?"

"As far as I know, your sister is very obsessed with you, isn't she?"

"You actually insist on the idea that being single is the best?"

"I only talked about the concept, not the method."

Gently tucking a stray hair behind his girlfriend's ear, Kasugano Mirai continued, "Based on this philosophy, I will never date during my student years."

"After graduation, I might get married to Xiaoqiong with my parents' help."

"But whether this is love, I can't say for sure."

"However, it doesn't matter even if it isn't."

"The older generation almost always married out of necessity, and their feelings for each other were cultivated through daily life together."

"As long as the two people are doing well and happy, it doesn't really matter."

Kurumi asked curiously, "Judging from Mirai's words, her thoughts changed after meeting me, Yoshino, and Nanami?"

Hearing his girlfriend's question, Kasugano Mirai smiled shyly: "I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me if I tell you."

"Do you remember the explanation I gave you back then?"

"It's the one about world interaction."

"Remember, what happened?"

"Now that I knew of your existence, how do you think I viewed you before you arrived?"

Kurumi was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize something and said in a strange tone, "You don't mean you see her as a two-dimensional waifu, do you?"

"Ah."

After her initial embarrassment, Kasugano Mirai became more candid this time.

"I've always treated you all like my two-dimensional wives."

"I heard Kurumi say that you once rewrote my fate of death with the Sixth Bullet."

"On that timeline, I met Kurumi who had lost her memory, and named you Tokisaki Kurumi without knowing your real name. Wasn't that because I wanted to raise a virtual wife in real life?"

"Later, Yoshino and Nanami descended one after another. When I first saw them, I couldn't control myself and became a little excited."

As he spoke, he extended his index and middle fingers and gestured.

Kurumi rolled her eyes silently.

Having already heard the two little ones recount this experience, she really wanted to complain: this distance is probably not as big as the universe at your fingertips.

However, considering that it was rare for her boyfriend to open up to her, she temporarily suppressed her urge to complain.

"My waifu from 2D has become a real person. To be honest, I have actually thought about being with you guys."

"I didn't say it later, partly because of my inferiority complex."

"Because whether it's Kurumi, Yoshino, or Nanami, not only do they possess the power of spirits, their lifespans are also much longer than those of humans."

"The theory of lifespan is an unpleasant term, but I have to consider it."

"If I choose to stay with you, it is very likely that a hundred years from now, I will have turned into a handful of dust, while you will still be alive."

"The dead leave this world with regrets, reluctance, and apologies, while the living are burdened with pain and spend the rest of their lives in memories."

"This reality is quite cruel, both for you and for me."

Upon hearing this, Kurumi, the girl, couldn't help but tighten her grip on her boyfriend's arm.

Kasugano Mirai seemed oblivious and continued talking to herself.

"Another reason I didn't mention it is that reality isn't an alternate world or a novel. While I wouldn't say that a harem path is impossible, it's certainly a thorny one."

"Moreover, while a harem is a wonderful and fortunate thing for boys, it is a kind of harm for girls."

"Therefore, I hesitated, wavered, felt helpless and confused, and remained indifferent."

"However, people are made of flesh and blood. Over the years, your countless expressions of affection, whether explicit or implicit, have finally made me put aside my concerns."

"Kurumi said she would allow me to build a harem and asked me if I was happy."

"To be honest, I am really happy."

"Because in this way, I won't have to let go of Yoshino and Nanami."

"But at the same time, I feel sorry for you all."

"As I said before, the so-called happy ending of a harem is only for boys, but it is a kind of harm for girls."

"After all, not many girls are willing to share their lovers with other people."

After saying that, Kasugano Mirai turned to look at his girlfriend, his expression unusually serious.

"Kurumi just asked me why I told the truth instead of making excuses. It's because, putting aside the process and the reasons, in terms of the result, I am indeed a scumbag who is prepared to have three relationships at the same time, and it's even unclear how many relationships he will have at the same time in the future."

"You're already compromising yourselves by dating me. If I continue to deceive you, not to mention anything else, I won't be able to live with myself."

"Admittedly, this is not as easy and carefree as the third type of scum, at least they can live with a clear conscience and with your sincerity."

After patiently listening to her boyfriend finish speaking his heart, Kurumi fell silent.

The room fell silent for a moment…

"Is this what you originally thought of the future?"

???

The sudden sound made Kasugano Mirai jump out of bed with a start. Just as she was about to look for a weapon to defend herself, she suddenly realized that the voice sounded very familiar.

Upon closer inspection, three figures had appeared in the center of the room.

It was none other than Tokisaki Kurumi, Yoshino, and Nanami.

Upon seeing the real person, Kurumi, instead of feeling caught in the act, raised her hand in greeting: "When did I arrive?"

"You're here just in time. I'm not feeling well today, so I won't be going back for now."
