I really don't want to be reborn.

"...Thank you, I'm relieved to hear that."

The black cat breathed a sigh of relief.

She blushed slightly, her blushing expression like that of someone intoxicated by the sun, a shy blush after the sunset had faded.

Her cuteness instantly doubled, becoming charmingly shy—no, utterly captivating.

She understood perfectly well how skilled this man, who claimed to only know a little bit about drawing, actually was in painting. The fact that this little bit of progress had been recognized was a pleasant surprise.

"Go Black Cat! Once you create some great artwork, let's go and take down Pudding-chan together!"

"Hey! Can you guys please leave that aside for now..."

The younger sister in the video looked unhappy, her arms crossed over her chest, staring coldly at the dark figure: "What's the meaning of your cover... This character looks exactly like me, right?"

Kyosuke hesitated, "Speaking of which, that person who exudes a strong aura of misfortune seems to look like me—Saori, take a look, isn't she?"

"Really! This is amazing! It's exactly the same as Kotori-san and Kyosuke-san!"

Hearing the three people say this, the black cat smiled.

A rare, happy smile.

"As you can see, I specifically drew a comic based on you and your brother. Is there a problem with that?"

Even though they were separated by the Pacific Ocean, the younger sister subconsciously frowned: "I have a very bad feeling about this."

"I'd like to ask, what's the content of this comic?"

then……

Then all three of them clearly saw a sinister smile appear on the black cat's face that made them feel uneasy and insecure.

The image on the screen was changed, and comic book content began to appear.

The first large panel shows the female protagonist, modeled after Kirino, sitting on a sofa looking at a fashion magazine.

The black cat then began reading the summary, even mimicking Kirino's tone: "Ara ara! My name is Kirino. My face is obviously very round, but I am an extremely beautiful middle school girl who works as a reading model (self-proclaimed)."

"..."

"You really want to be killed, you black one?!"

"Oh dear, oh dear, that's enough! Little Tongtong! Calm down, calm down!"

Saori didn't seem to be trying to mediate; instead, she was fanning the flames: "This isn't Kirito-san, it's just a manga character named Kirino! Besides, the story has only just begun, hasn't it!"

Kirino shut up sullenly, muttering to herself, "A round face represents social status!"

Kyosuke, who had been silent all along, remained silent, thinking to himself that his sister's words were utter nonsense.

"Hmph...then I'll continue."

The black cat was too lazy to imitate, so it simply played itself, reciting the narration and monologue in a gloomy and sinister voice.

This manga tells the story from the perspective of "Kurono". Because there are many monologues, it is very clear that the heroine Kirino was feeling and thinking at the time.

As for the feelings of the other characters, we can only describe the surface aspects that Tong Nai has observed so far.

This can be understood as a typical writing style of Japanese light novels, namely, first-person narration.

The story is summarized as follows: Tong has an older brother named Jingjie, who is three years older than her.

The two had a very bad relationship and didn't care about each other at all.

They don't speak to each other when they meet at home, and they don't even look at each other. They are a brother and sister who feel no warmth at all and are in a state of cold war.

"Hey... I always care about her!"

Kyosuke Kosaka had to come out and defend himself: "No matter how drastically you modify things, there should still be some basic principles..."

"It's just a setting in a comic book."

The black cat was determined to bite, so the Kousaka siblings were completely helpless.

The story continues:

However, Tongnai actually has a secret that she can't tell anyone.

—For example, as soon as Tongnai confirmed that her brother had entered the bathroom, she immediately sneaked into the laundry area, took a piece of clothing from the laundry basket, and then…

The black cat's tone changed, turning into a lewd laugh: "Hehehe... This is Onii-chan's panties... *swallows saliva*... *smells*... *hehehe*—"

"Shut up!"

He and his sister screamed at the same time.

Kyosuke Kosaka gestured to stop the black cat, wiped away a bead of cold sweat, sat down in front of the computer where he was video chatting with his sister, and asked a very serious question: "Hey, you asked me to buy that game called 'Brother Pants,' right? You...did you really use my underwear?"

"..."

Kirino Kousaka fell silent.

Then, silence fell over Kyosuke's room.

------

The three chapters combined total nine thousand words... That's ridiculous!

Chapter Four: Back-stepping is definitely something only elementary school students should do.

It's over! It's over!

Kirino Kousaka actually did something like that!

"Eh eh eh!!!"

A girl's incredulous scream echoed from Kyosuke's room.

The black cat remained calm; she had already guessed it.

Therefore, the one who made such a sound was the usually composed Ms. Saori Bagina.

Hearing the sound, Kirino snapped out of her daze, blushing and waving her hands in denial: "I never smelled panties! This...this...this is just a scene from a manga!"

The black cat calmly analyzed, "It seems it smelled something else..."

Kirino was completely enraged: "You damn cat! There's a limit to pooping! How much poop do you have to spew out to be considered filthy? Are you that happy?"

That's enough!

Kyosuke Kosaka's heavy voice forced his sister to suppress her anger, and then he subtly threatened the black cat: "Besides, Freud said that all excretion is pleasurable, but you should know when to stop, black cat."

Black Cat had to skip this idiot-like, tearful topic: "Well, well... I'll continue... cough!"

The comic book turned another page, and the black cat continued reading.

That's roughly the gist of it. The female protagonist in this manga, Tongna, is portrayed as a super brother-complex character.

Moreover, she's the kind of tsundere brother-obsessed girl who outwardly seems to dislike her brother, but deep down she actually loves him.

(If you can't understand Kirino, you can refer to Ichinose Himezuki's tsundere personality.)

The story continues—after carefully smelling her brother's underwear and replenishing her energy, Tongna climbed the stairs and headed towards her brother's room.

She used her skillful lock-picking technique to sneak inside quietly.

"Who would do such a despicable thing as stealing chickens and dogs!"

Kirino Kousaka cried out in dissatisfaction.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was thieving and stealing, had a gloomy expression.

The comic has moved to the next page.

In the darkness, Tongnai shamelessly stuck her butt out and searched for something under her brother's bed.

Okay, found it!

What she took out was actually a collection of adult books and magazines that Jingjie had treasured.

The heroines in those H-books were all long-legged, big-breasted, straight-haired black women. Tongnai complained, "Why are they all the long-haired black women... I should buy the younger sister ones!"

The real-life younger sister practically pressed her face against the screen, gritting her teeth and roaring, "I...I never said that!"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked completely innocent: "To be honest, when have I ever bought any erotic magazines? What era are we living in? Why would I need that kind of stuff?"

"Hey, did you buy too few Comic notebooks?"

"Can a notebook be called a pornographic magazine?"

The black cat impatiently interrupted the brother and sister who were undermining each other: "Can we continue?"

Kyosuke fell silent, vowing not to say a word later!

The story continues like this: One day, the brother-obsessed Kirino discovers that she has a natural enemy.

That was the club president of Jingjie's club, a black-haired, long-haired cow named Kasumi Aki.

Kasumi Aki appears to be a beautiful girl with excellent grades who likes to sleep in class, but she is actually the reincarnation of Belphegor, the Demon God of Sloth of the Seven Deadly Sins, and intends to corrupt the soul of Shosuke.

That's because Jingjie is the unconscious reincarnation of Lucifer, a fallen angel who was banished from Heaven—wait…

"..."

Where's the slice-of-life comic you were promised?!

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed that Black Cat would draw everyday comics.

Even so—just what kind of incredible twist is this angel-demon relationship?!

No more.

I'm going to transform into Shinpachi's glasses!

...Be patient!

I'm not a sarcastic commentator! I'm just someone who wields a Yordle's hammer...

He could still tolerate it, but his sister couldn't stand it at all. Her round face on the screen was contorted with anger as she screamed.

The black cat sneered, touching the corner of its mouth with its hand and chuckling coldly, "The climax of the story is almost here."

The story that follows is even more absurd—Kirino's love for Shosuke is appreciated by the gods, and the holy angel black cat bestows upon her the holy lance Gungnir, to fight the final battle against Kasumi Aki, the incarnation of the demon Sloth.

Saori sighed softly, speaking on Kyosuke's behalf: "I didn't know when Gungnir from Norse mythology became the Holy Lance?"
