I really don't want to be reborn.

She stared silently at the protruding part of the blanket, took a deep breath, and opened the window a little wider to let in some morning breeze. When she turned around, she found that Kyosuke Kosaka was staring at her intently.

"..."

"..."

"have you eaten?"

The patient's voice was slightly hoarse, but he seemed to be in good spirits, at least with a faint smile on his face.

"Ah...ah, I brought you breakfast, how about some porridge?"

"Ah."

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at her with an enigmatic gaze, as if he knew everything, or as if he was trying to read something from her body language.

She quickly and subtly looked away, served him the vegetable porridge, and he insisted on going to the toilet. Before coming back, he took care of his personal hygiene. Now he was very hungry and wanted to eat as soon as he smelled the room.

The smell had the aroma of food, as well as the scent of a girl's body.

"It's delicious."

Kyosuke praised it sincerely: "I think everything tastes good now, but this porridge is probably the best I've ever had. It's even more delicious than the morning sun."

Just then, a little sunlight began to seep in through the window. She drew the curtains wide open, looked at the yolk-like sun, and said with a touch of regret, "I should have brought you an egg."

"I'd better avoid high-protein foods."

"However, the morning sun is really beautiful."

Kyosuke silently ate his porridge, thinking that you look your best in the morning sun, when he suddenly glanced at the bed sheet: "Kirino...when did you come?"

Kasumigaoka, with her back to him, spoke with a slightly unusual tone, but still calmly, "She stayed here yesterday afternoon and went back in the evening. After all, she's only a middle school student."

"That's true, she's not as daring to skip class as you are."

Shiyu slowly turned her head: "But what I find strange is, are you so sure she came? Are you sure your sister cares about you that much, Kousaka-kun?"

Kyosuke silently continued eating.

The porridge gradually tasted a bit sour.

Her tone was sarcastic.

"Snoring..."

He drank the porridge with great gusto.

After slowly finishing his meal, wiping his mouth, and letting out a not-so-loud burp, Kousaka Kyosuke met Kasumigaoka's gaze with a wry smile: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The girl remained expressionless, still fuming from yesterday evening: "I don't want to say anything."

Kyosuke shook his head and pointed to the pillow on the hospital bed: "There's a long brown hair there. Among the people I know, it seems that only Kirino has that hair color."

"That hair color? Why don't you just say it's shit-yellow?"

"I just ate..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly frowned: "To be able to tell whether your sister has been here just by looking at a single hair, I must say, you really know your sister very well."

Kyosuke Kosaka mimicked Gin's deathly expression as he was about to find Ai-chan, and scoffed, "I even washed her diapers, and you say you don't know?"

The girl felt a pang of sadness, thinking, "What do you know? Do you even know how possessive your sister is of you?"

Do you know what she did at noon?

She's so arrogant, do you know that?

…………

In my memory, when I had just written the beginning of the fifth chapter, when the male protagonist started to have some obvious sparks with the emotionless female swordsman and obtained the treasure manual left behind by "Teacher Kou Tian" - "The thief cries 'stop thief'", he suddenly felt tired and wanted to stand up to get a glass of water, when suddenly everything went black.

Knowing that he was discovered by the black cat, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, "Did I really have to go to such lengths?"

He clearly promised himself that he would take a good rest for the rest of his life—no, to be precise, for these four years—and just let things take their course, but why can't he ever relax? Why can't he be content to be an ordinary Kousaka Kyosuke?

but……

Turning his head, he saw a girl peeling oranges beside him, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

The door to the ward was pushed open, and a nurse came in carrying a medical tray, followed by Kirino and Kuroneko with different expressions.

Today is the weekend.

"good afternoon."

He nodded to the black cat to show his gratitude, then smiled at his sister and asked, "Kirino, what delicious treat are you holding?"

Kirino sat on the other side of his hospital bed, ignoring her brother's words and pretending not to see Kasumigaoka. Her cool little hand touched his forehead: "It seems like the fever has gone down."

"Let's take your temperature first."

The nurse handed him the thermometer: "How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Kyosuke shook his head: "I feel fine now."

The nurse looked at the three girls in the room, sensing the hidden danger lurking within, and thought to herself, "You call this nothing?"

Chapter Fifteen: Couples move in, utilities halved!

"Tsk, is this your girlfriend? She seems like a gentle girl."

In his temporary room, Kyosuke Kosaka, looking quite well, took a sip of tea and said, "You flatter me, Mrs. Tanaka."

Mrs. Tanaka, the landlady, came to visit him after hearing he had been discharged from the hospital. She discovered there was an extra person in the room, which immediately piqued her gossipy nature.

Kasumigaoka Utaha put the teapot back in the kitchen and came out to hear their conversation. Instead of showing any strange expression, her face was flushed.

She seemed to have truly become his girlfriend.

Actually, no...

Mrs. Tanaka sized up the high school boy and girl, and greatly admired Kousaka Kyosuke's composure and Kasumigaoka Utaha's politeness and gentleness. Well, especially this little Kyosuke.

Not only did he move out on his own, but his grades didn't suffer at all. He's also a cultured man with a wealth of knowledge. If he didn't have a girlfriend, I would have introduced my daughter to him.

The landlady also has a daughter!

She's only 18!

Twenty-eight...

"You're not bad either."

"That's really too much of a compliment."

Kyosuke put down his teacup, coughed lightly, then turned his head to look at Kasumigaoka Utaha, the girl he liked very much. His deep eyes were like the unpredictable sea at night, reflecting Utaha's slightly stiff face.

Her voice was soft and gentle to the point of being nauseating: "In fact, being able to meet her and be liked by her is the greatest luck of my life."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was already restless, forcing a gentle smile, but now she felt goosebumps all over, sitting there like a frozen cat in the snow.

"Ah, how romantic."

Mrs. Tanaka held her teacup with a blissful expression, looking much younger: "My first husband, who passed away, said something similar to me when he was young."

He wanted to ask his wife how many husbands she had lost, but after thinking about it, he held back and continued to smile: "Then he must have loved you very much."

Then, glancing at the fidgety woman with long, straight black hair, he smirked and said, “I know that feeling very well because I love her so much. So, the moment I said it, I felt like the whole world was on fire.”

"This is love."

"Yes, although I've never had a husband, I'm pretty sure this feeling is love..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat blankly to one side.

Her expression looked like her husband had died.

After the landlady left, she gently closed the door, maintaining a gentle smile on her face. But as soon as she turned around, her smile slowly turned ferocious, and she stared at Kyosuke like a female leopard about to pounce on its prey.

Kyosuke Kosaka calmly sipped his tea: "We can only get half the water and electricity bills if we pretend to be a couple. So that I won't be so tired, can you just make a sacrifice?"

"Couples get half-price utilities? Where did this policy come from?"

"That's how the Doma siblings next door play..."

Kyosuke began to soothe her: "Dear Minister, I'm still sick and can't take your torment."

He was just discharged from the hospital. It had been less than a week since he was admitted. The reason he was in such a hurry to leave was because there were no computers in the hospital. Life without computers is really hard to endure.

"I don't understand. You're in this state, why don't you go home? Even if your parents are heartless, they wouldn't let you fend for yourself, would they? Is your dad still giving you the cold shoulder?"

"It's not for that reason."

He looked at her with a smile: "Living alone outside does have many inconveniences, but it's relatively more free. Besides, aren't you going to move in and take care of me?"

The girl with long, straight black hair glared at him, as if she wanted to strangle him with her hairband: "I've changed my mind now!"

"Please, please take care of me..."

She took a few deep breaths, seemingly angry, unable to stand this person any longer: "At most, a week. I'll go back after dinner and bring the blankets and clothes over tomorrow."

She stayed here temporarily under the guise of caring for a patient, seemingly unaware of the meaning of cohabitation between men and women, and completely forgetting the challenge that Kirino Kousaka had given her not long ago.

Seventeen-year-old Kasumigaoka Utaha is about to uncontrollably sink into the ocean of love, even though they still don't admit it's love.

This is just... a slightly better friend than other friends!

Kyosuke has become quite attentive: "Would you like to eat now? I'll make it right away?"

The girl rolled her eyes at him, tied her apron, and went into the kitchen: "Tell your sister's friend not to bother her, she's only in middle school."

You mean black cat?

"Hmm, to have a middle school student make breakfast and dinner for you every day, you really have a thick skin."

Amidst the slight complaints, Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled softly, then received a phone call.

"Kirino? What's wrong?"
