I really don't want to be reborn.

"Ah, they are children from the Kousaka family."

Led inside by this middle-aged woman who was far more shrewd than his own mother, Kyosuke Kosaka put down the gift: "I originally came to Tokyo to take care of some business, but my parents insisted that I come to visit."

"Your uncle was very happy when he came back from Chiba last time."

Mrs. Ogiso rarely hears her husband praise people, especially young people. The only time he praised the Kosaka family's son was when he came back from Chiba last time, saying that he hadn't seen such a mature high school student in decades.

He was even more astute and shrewd than his father, Daisuke Kousaka.

Mrs. Ogiso certainly remembered such a person, and when she saw him in person, she couldn't help but scrutinize him, but she could only find that he was gentle and polite and didn't talk much.

He was about to speak when he noticed someone at the entrance of the stairwell.

Looking up, I saw the top girl of Fengcheng University Affiliated High School, the flawless campus idol, with her somewhat messy home life.

"..."

"..."

Ogiso Setsuna's mouth was slightly open, her eyes glazed over, clearly not expecting him to come to visit.

A few seconds later, Setsuna ran back to her room.

Kyosuke Kosaka's tone was slightly complicated: "I didn't expect Kogiso to have such a domestic side. Her image is a little shattered."

Whether it was her gentle and generous demeanor when they first met at university, her white-clad songstress on stage, or her refreshing and radiant presence at the previous cultural festival, Ogiso Setsuna always gave him the impression of being as perfect as possible.

It's hard to imagine that this squirrel could be so disheveled.

"Satsuna is really something..."

"It's alright, Auntie. It's better for girls to be more relaxed at home."

He looked like he wanted to laugh, but then he held it back.

A short while later, the disheveled squirrel sent him its first email in four years.

"No laughing!"

Upon seeing the email, he suddenly realized he couldn't help himself and replied with a big smiley face emoticon: "Indeed, seeing someone like this is as rare as finding a coin in a dumpling."

"Ahhhh!"

In the bedroom, Yukina pulled the blanket over her head, pounding her little fists incessantly: "I was laughed at, I was laughed at, it's so embarrassing, so embarrassing..."

…………

"Then let's do this. Take Kyosuke to visit Minegi University, since both of your college applications are there anyway."

"Oh, this will be troublesome for Kogiso-kun, won't it?"

"It's alright, it's alright."

Mrs. Ogiso suggested that her daughter take him to visit Minegi University, but Kyosuke Kosaka was not keen on the idea. He only wanted to make a brief visit and then prepared to leave.

However, out of consideration for guests, the wife still made this decision.

Perhaps it's because he has a girlfriend that he feels comfortable letting his daughter stay with him?

Kyosuke Kosaka instinctively refused.

His gaze fell on the fourth member of the Ogiso family, Setsuna's younger brother, who timidly raised his hand: "Should I go?"

"Does Xiaohong still need to study?"

His sister smiled considerately: "Besides, you've never been there before, how can you be a good tour guide for Kousaka-kun?"

Kyosuke sighed softly, "Thank you for your trouble, tour guide."

Peak City University covers a large area.

If someone is unfamiliar with the area, it would take about four hours to sightsee. However, the two high school students who are strolling around here are very familiar with the place. Setsuna lives nearby, so she has the opportunity to wander around here, while he has already memorized every detail of the school.

"The entrance ceremony is not held here, but at the Hiyoshi campus."

Tour guide Kogiso was very responsible: "Every year there are too many students entering the school, and it is impossible for everyone to enter the auditorium at the same time. Basically, it is divided into one session in the morning and one session in the afternoon."

She swayed her pretty pigtails: "My ambition is economics. The first day of school will be especially busy because after the ceremony in the morning, I have to take the TOEIC exam in the afternoon..."

Kyosuke Kosaka also adopted the demeanor of a tourist: "What I care more about is the course arrangement."

The subtext is that he's not very interested in her ambitions.

Setsuna seemed not to have caught on: "Yeah, some subjects have a lot of required courses. If you get a very demanding course when you apply, you'll probably have to suffer for a year."

"It doesn't matter."

"Kousaka-kun looks so confident... Oh, and he has a club too!"

Peak City University has a wide range of club activities.

Within a week of starting school, I was basically invited to new club parties by several clubs every day.

"Most of the new love parties are free. Oh right, this is a great opportunity to meet other freshmen and upperclassmen!"

Yukina introduced the place as she walked, providing detailed descriptions of the library, teaching buildings, and other landmarks, indicating that she had scouted the area before.

"If you enroll, don't miss the Waseda-Keio tournament in the spring."

Every spring, Peak City University holds an early celebration battle.

Competitions will be held in various sports such as baseball, basketball, soccer, and karate.

"By the way, Kousaka-kun, what sports are you good at?"

Kyosuke Kosaka remained modest: "I'm not very good at these things."

The implication is that they all know a little bit about it.

This level of modesty is almost shameless.

"Where is Kogiso?"

"Ah, me? Well—of course, I'm a cheerleader!"

As she walked, she twirled around like a child, saying, "If it were springtime, we could sing under the cherry blossoms, that would be so, so..."

The two "that's really" expressions convey the girl's heartfelt love for cherry blossoms and singing.

"That's so shameful."

Kyosuke Kosaka abruptly interrupted her passion and aspirations.

"What's so shameful about that?!"

His voice was low: "Does Kogiso like cherry blossoms?"

"No one would dislike it, right?"

"What is it about cherry blossoms that you like? Is it their beauty or their poignant charm? Or do you simply like their appearance?"

Setsuna was taken aback by the question. After thinking for a long time, she stood under a tree and smiled: "Because I look super, super cute standing under the cherry blossoms."

"Clap clap clap!"

He clapped expressionlessly, utterly satisfied with the answer: "Your shamelessness is just like three-tenths of my own back in the day."

"I didn't!!"

The girl, who is very good at acting, seemed to be playing herself today, or perhaps exploiting her innocent image. A blush spread across her cheeks, instantly revealing her girlish shyness and gentleness.

Unfortunately, the only spectator wasn't looking at her; instead, he was staring at the large stadium behind the playground.

Images from my memories surfaced in my eyes.

After a group of gay men in purple finished dancing wildly to Michael Jackson and left the stage, a young female singer in a white dress and veil, her pretty pigtails swaying from side to side, her eyes clear as water, appeared.

Her figure was graceful and delicate, and she could be grasped in one hand.

With a single utterance of her lips, the next four years begin.

------

It's past midnight! And not a single razor blade has been found today!

What the heck?!

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Lend Me an Autumn!

"That's a stadium! Last winter I even came here to sneak a peek, and the scene was just—wow!"

Setsuna Ogiso couldn't find the right words to describe it.

That "wow" was also a skillful attempt at being cute.

Kyosuke pretended to have heard of it a little: "Is it the legendary Mita Festival?"

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Mita Festival.

The Mita Festival, the largest university festival in Japan, is held around November 23rd each year and lasts for four days.

One of the most famous events is the Miss. Peak City competition.

Although this university has a long history, its academic atmosphere is surprisingly mild. The motto of Fengcheng University is "independence and autonomy," which means rejecting the influence of politics on education.

Therefore, there is a saying.

Minegi University is a university for the people of Minegi, not a university in Japan.

Although it is now called a university, the atmosphere is still the same as the original Lanxue Academy. Here, you feel more of the seniors and juniors than the so-called directors or presidents.

If you're studying science and engineering, the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University are definitely stronger than Mineo University. But if you're studying business or humanities, that's not necessarily true. Here you'll find literary youths who are constantly agonizing over and praising certain poetry collections, business students who speak with ease, and musical enthusiasts who wander around with a guitar, trying to pick up girls.

all in all.

Fengcheng University is a private elite school for children of high-achieving students. While the teaching quality is good, the learning atmosphere may not be.

But as long as you graduate and get your diploma, you won't have to worry about finding a job.

"However, based on Kousaka-kun's grades, getting into the University of Tokyo shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Apart from girls' schools, there are basically no problems."

As soon as Kousaka Kyosuke finished speaking, he thought that if he dressed up a bit, he might even be able to sneak into an all-girls school. Then he noticed the tour guide's strange look: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
