I really don't want to be reborn.

The most important thing now is—

As the gate opened, inside the magnificent palace, a cat-eared loli wearing a demon king's crown looked at me helplessly.

"..."

Demon King, you're so cute.

…………

"I always felt there should still be some."

"What else?"

"There's still an ending, there should be an ending."

Although she knew a year ago that this was the ending of the novel, seeing it come to an end still left Kasumigaoka Utaha with mixed feelings.

However, it was clear that her boyfriend wasn't going to answer the question, so she quickly changed the subject, shifting the conversation to the female characters in the book.

"Everyone says that novels are inspired by life. You've given the protagonist three... no, plus that big-breasted priest who seems to be his future daughter who has traveled through time, that makes four female protagonists with different personalities."

First, he criticized Kyosuke Kousaka's strong "daughter complex," and then he started asking questions, all of which were potentially disastrous: "Let me ask you first, who is the real female lead?"

Kyosuke Kosaka stroked her black hair: "What an idiot you are! A year ago you said I was using the female lead to allude to you, how come you don't dare to admit it now?"

His fingers twirled in her soft hair: "Xiao Shi, you need to have more confidence in yourself, right?"

"Of course, I can't possibly lack confidence in myself."

Kasumigaoka Utaha blushed slightly, then became serious again: "Here's the question, this blonde-haired, flat-chested... refers to Eriri, right?"

Kyosuke Kousaka rolled his eyes.

"Oh, right, you didn't even know Eriri back then. Hmm... does this image just mean that the blonde, flat-chested, tsundere trope is a universal value?"

She nodded and continued, "Then there's this cat-eared loli who has great potential to compete for the female lead role... who is also the Demon King whose initial affection level is close to the maximum, but of course I'm not referring to Sinon."

Kyosuke Kousaka was exasperated: "How could I have known you had a younger sister when I was working on the outline?"

"Could it be a black cat?"

"I didn't know the black cat back then either."

She was utterly puzzled: "Then this cat-eared loli..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha scratched her head: "Since it's not based on a real person, it should be based on some other virtual character—but cat-eared loli isn't the mainstream right now."

She asked directly, "Why did you choose such an image?"

Gentleman Kousaka Kyosuke smiled and said nothing.

He would never tell her that Kaoru Shiya's manga "Loli Time" had resumed publication last May, nor would he tell her that the anime adaptation of the manga would be released in 07.

Is there even a need to ask? The reason he fell for cat-eared lolis is obviously because of "Kagami Kuro" and "Kokonoe Rin" from this anime. They look so cute when they wear cat ears.

Uh, I don't know anything about catgirl Catherine! Absolutely nothing about her!

Kasumigaoka looked at him with surprise and doubt: "No way, could it be that your writing level last year had already surpassed the realm of projection, and you can create characters out of thin air?"

"...That's right, I'm that amazing!"

Seeing her boyfriend's smug look, she smiled and said, "Okay, I won't ask any further questions, but there's still one more."

"Ok?"

What was the agreement between the two female leads?

Kyosuke paused his laughter: "Didn't you read it carefully? The foreshadowing started in volume three, and that was the competition between them."

"What is that...?"

"Simply put, it's a so-called breast size competition!"

Upon hearing these lewd words, all of Kasumigaoka Utaha's subsequent problems were stuck at the breast, unable to move forward or backward.

"The agreement is that the loser must obey the winner's every word—oh, don't you know they're both flat-chested?"

The girl replied blankly, "I have absolutely no idea. Who would bother to remember such a setting?"

She processed the information for a moment, then drew two large circles on the paper: "Wait a minute, wait a minute—since they're all flat-chested, how could that super-sized wet nurse be their future daughter? No matter who the male lead chooses, they won't have a daughter with huge breasts, right?"

She pondered and wrote down a few possibilities: "Genetic mutation? Magical mutation? Or spacetime radiation? No, there must be a more ingenious setting—"

She subconsciously glanced at Kyosuke Kosaka's expression and found that he was smiling rather awkwardly.

"Huh? What is it?!"

Kyosuke Kosaka also feigned confusion, almost as if he were trying to look cute: "What?"

"Is there a plot hole in this?!"

"How could that be?"

"That--"

She suddenly realized!

The light that often appears in "Detective Conan" flashed through her mind, and she was so surprised that her voice twisted: "Don't tell me! Could it be... that the one who ends up with the male protagonist is this cat-eared loli who hasn't even started to develop yet???"

"..."

"It's true! He was juggling multiple relationships, trying to achieve some kind of hegemony, and then he became a complete lolicon! And in the end, he even got her pregnant and gave birth to a daughter?"

She first condemned it morally, then praised the ingenuity of the hidden plot, saying that one might not notice it without careful consideration.

Kyosuke readily accepted the praise, and then he began to bury himself in processing some documents from the animation company.

Just a few minutes later, his girlfriend leaned softly against him.

"Little Poem..."

He turned his head to the side, and Xiao Shi looked at him with a strange gaze, as if her face was being burned.

"what happened?"

She rubbed her chin against his arm, then tilted her head back slightly.

Those wine-red eyes began to gleam with the allure of desire, and her clear, languid voice turned seductive: "Shall we... go home now?"

Is there an emergency at home?

"No, it's just that you've been too clingy lately, and I'm starting to feel a little insecure."

Perhaps out of remorse, or perhaps out of love, he clung to her ever since he returned from Yokohama, ignoring all the work-related calls that kept coming in.

"Then how about you cook for me when we get home?"

"Okay."

They left the school, ignoring the entrance ceremony and the recruitment for the Literature Club arranged by the student council, and skipped class as usual, returning to the Kousaka family home.

They couldn't wait to kiss as soon as they entered the house, kissing all the way from the entrance hall to his room.

When Yoshino's mother came out of the living room, she stared blankly as they kissed and went upstairs, oblivious to everyone else. Her jaw nearly dropped.

Judging from the title and the writing style, it's obviously a high-quality imitation of Wataru Watari!

Kissing... well, I need to explain that in more detail.

I believe that among my mere few hundred readers, there must be a few very pitiful fellows who have never even kissed.

It's okay, it's okay. As a guy, you can just use your imagination.

Just fantasize!

Cheng, a (non-)renowned science fiction writer on Qidian: "Do you really have to kill literature and then replace it with wishful thinking?"

Who first discovered that tongues can actually touch each other?

"Well……"

The sound of water gradually rose and fell in the room, accompanied by heavy breathing. Her eyes were half-closed, and she could not see his face clearly. During the time he held her tightly, she was sometimes nervous and sometimes even more nervous.

Like a first kiss.

She really hoped that every kiss with this person would be her first kiss, because that feeling was so wonderful—her lips would feel warm, her mind would go blank, and then she would unconsciously touch his tongue.

It's so soft, it melts my heart like a handful of moonlight.

In short...

Slightly!

Kissing is the easiest way to get emotional.

Women are most likely to act coquettishly when they are aroused.

I miss you a little.

After a long while, they finally parted their lips. Kasumigaoka Utaha collapsed into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and pouting, "I want to, I want to, I want to so much, you know?"

He wrapped his arms around the girl's soft waist: "Haven't I always been by your side?"

Shiyu shook her head: "I know, but... I've had this feeling since last year. I've always wanted to say it, but I didn't know where to start. It wasn't until the last few days that the feeling gradually disappeared."

Kousaka Kyosuke was confused: "What?"

She thought for a moment, then, unusually hesitant, said, "You give me a strong sense of unfamiliarity, especially when you're writing. You seem very distant and unfamiliar to me; I have a gut feeling..."

He stopped stroking her hands, and his composed expression gradually crumbled.

Then she said in a very soft voice, "I was thinking... back then, you definitely didn't have me in your heart."

"...Are you an idiot?"

"Yeah, I'm an idiot!"

They tacitly chose to silently skip over this topic, as if they were embracing each other as they jumped over a ditch, afraid that the other would fall into the water.

After a long while, once the strange feeling subsided, Kasumigaoka Utaha began to fulfill her duties as his girlfriend—to conduct a surprise inspection of his bedroom to see if there was anything odd inside.
