Prologue. Start: 0. Your life... forget it, start over

"came back."

Looking at the youthful face of his youth, there was a hint of surprise on Miyamizu Kento's face, but more of a sense of relief.

"Now that I've returned to my youth, I can make new choices and change what happened. Maybe there are some regrets, but compared to what happened... it's better not to happen again."

The boy standing in front of the mirror whispered softly.

Recalling what he had experienced and what would happen in the future, his expression became full of sighs and depression.

It was clearly a story that started out like the protagonist in a cool novel, but due to his choices, his life was forcibly turned into a tragic and depressing literary and artistic ending!

If fate is really written by someone, then he will definitely look for the person who wrote his fate. There is no other meaning, he just wants to thank the other person with his fist full of gratitude.

"So, 'time travel' was triggered, but it didn't take me back to my childhood. Instead, I went back from that decadent twenty-seven-year-old youth who had accomplished nothing to my teenage years when everything was just beginning."

Before starting his life as 'Miyamizu Kento', he made a choice.

It's a choice similar to the game "Restart Your Life".

Ten different talents, and twenty attribute points that can be allocated to four different attributes.

Because he had just come into contact with this game, and knowing that most of the ten randomly given talent points were weird, Miyamizu Kento could only choose talents that looked more normal.

One is to become the 'big boss' of the family, the most beloved child in the family, with the rare talent 'consecrated fetus' that can increase one attribute point, and the other is 'time travel', which is completely based on luck and may be triggered, or may never be triggered until death.

Afterwards, when it came to increasing attribute points, Miyamizu Kento hesitated for a moment before refusing to let his life become mediocre again.

Relying on the attribute point given by the 'Consecrated Fetus' and the points that should have been allocated to other attributes, two more points were added to 'Appearance'. The family background can be poor, but the person must be handsome!

As for the beginning of his life, he had no memory of the past until he was about five years old. He gradually recalled the memories of his previous life. Looking at his sisters named Miyamizu Mitsuha and Miyamizu Yotsuha, he raised his head and looked at the sky...

The Miyamizu family controlled the local religious beliefs in the Itomori region, and because they were the former local lords, they had considerable say. However, no matter how much say they had, it was just a backward small town in the countryside, which was far inferior to Miyamizu Kento's original life, which was consistent with his "family background" of only four points.

However, when he was in elementary school, his father was suddenly inspired by something and suddenly said that he wanted to change the town of Itomori. He used the influence of the Miyamizu family and participated in the election. At first he was the mayor and later became the mayor.

Miyamizu Kento once doubted the origin of his father. He was slightly different from the person he had in mind.

Miyamizu Futaba, his mother, who should have died of an immune disease after giving birth, did not die of the disease as he remembered, but lived a healthy life in Itomori.

Having inherited his mother's delicate and intelligent face, as well as his father's handsomeness when he was young, Xianren's appearance can be considered outstanding. He is the type that people find attractive at first glance, and even more pleasing to the eye and the heart after a long time of getting along with others. In his life, Itomori received many confessions from girls, and during his school days in Tokyo, he also received many confession letters. Every Valentine's Day, his shoe cabinet was filled with chocolates.

Because of the knowledge he already had, his grades as a teenager were good, so even if he had forgotten some of it, it was easy for him to pick it up again. Even if he didn't always get first place, he was always in the top ten in the grade. That's why he got permission from his parents to come to Tokyo to study alone.

This kind of life should be considered perfect...

Even if he did nothing, relying on his parents, he could already live a life that could be described as easy and affluent.

But fate likes to play jokes on people. During his high school years, he met a woman that he shouldn't... no, it should be said that his father didn't allow him to like, which led to all the tragedies.

"Sayuri...she probably doesn't know anything now. Since time has flown back, her original memories probably no longer exist. To her now, I'm just a stranger."

Recalling the somewhat blurred memories in his mind, Miyamizu Kento couldn't help but sigh.

Falling in love with a girl older than oneself is not a strange thing in this more progressive and liberated society. However, it is not strange and acceptable only when the age difference between the two parties is within five years and both are single and have never been married.

For example, there is an age difference of more than ten years between him and Sayuri Sawamura, which may be a bit old, but for Kento's family, it is not something that cannot be accepted. At the beginning, there was also an age difference of twelve years between Miyamizu Toshiki and Miyamizu Futaba.

For the sake of his wife, Miyamizu Toshiki gave up everything in the Mizoguchi family, including his position as a university professor. He even voluntarily married into the Miyamizu family in a society where women had a slightly lower status. It was not that he could not accept this relationship with a huge age gap.

But when there is such an age difference, the other party is already a widow, and has a daughter as old as his son, that is beyond the range of what Miyamizu Toshiki can accept. He firmly opposes the love between Kento and Sayuri!

Similarly, as Sayuri's daughter, Eriri, who is the same age as Kento, could not understand her mother's choice and could not accept that he was the same age as her and was the "father" of her former classmate.

The strong opposition from both families became the biggest obstacle for Kento and Sayuri to be together, but they could not abandon their families simply for their own sake.

Therefore, as their relationship had never been acknowledged by their families, the two could only keep it secret, secretly communicating without their families noticing, and this continued until the accident happened - his tryst with Sayuri was caught by his daughter Eriri.

Originally, Eriri had already made an appointment to go out with her friends that day, leaving Sayuri alone at home. She contacted Kento, who was also free at home, and made an appointment to meet at Sayuri's house.

There's no need to elaborate on the rest of the story. Eriri suddenly returned home halfway through the journey and saw something she shouldn't have seen...

As a result, what happened next caused things to gradually get out of control and eventually become irreversible.

When things calmed down, Kento lost his lover, and Eriri lost her mother and hated him.

He was hated by the girl and not understood by his own father. From then on, he began his downward spiral.

I stayed alone in Tokyo, eating whatever I wanted, earning a pittance by contributing short stories to various magazines. Then, when night fell, I would hide in the ubiquitous izakayas to drown my sorrows in a drink, barely surviving in this dark corner of this bustling city...

His mother and sister, who kept in touch with him, often came to Tokyo from Itomori to visit him because they were worried about him, trying to persuade him to move on. Mitsuha even stayed in Tokyo to take care of his daily life.

As for his father, who had always denied his relationship with Sayuri, his mother told him that he seemed to feel some regret, but he would occasionally call him, either to scold him for his cowardice or to encourage him to stand up again and return to Itomori to start his life anew.

With a father who is the mayor, it may be a very simple thing for him to return to the gradually developed Itomori and start his life anew. However, he could not get out of the shadow of losing Sayuri. He attributed the reason for Sayuri's suicide to himself, which turned into an unsolvable knot in his heart and made him hang up his father's phone again and again.

Beautiful memories turned into a cage he couldn't escape from. That smile as bright as fireworks, that embrace as warm as spring, but then came those dark, glaring, painful scenes that he didn't want to remember...

Now I am back to my teenage years, and nothing has happened yet.

Even though he felt a little sad, he didn't want Sayuri to suffer that kind of torture and pain anymore. His heart might ache, but not contacting her was the best option.

Looking at the calendar on the desk beside him, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and looked at the vast blue sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Let me start my life again, a life without pain and regret."

"This time, I won't end up like a depressed hipster!"

Cherry Blossom Season: 1. A beautiful new life begins by helping your neighbors

There was a person lying on Xianren's bed. It was the person he met at the door of the apartment when he woke up in the early morning and was about to go out shopping.

a woman.

Looking at the drunken woman lying on his bed and refusing to wake up, Xianren knew her identity.

She was a neighbor who lived on the same street as him, in a nearby apartment. He could no longer remember her specific name because it had been so long and we had no contact in the past. He only vaguely remembered that her last name seemed to be "Takasu", and she was a single mother with a son who was about his age.

The other person was wearing a hot and revealing tank top and leather jacket. Because she was drunk, Xianren took off her leather jacket temporarily and put it on a chair beside her so that she would not feel uncomfortable when lying on the bed.

I originally wanted to send her back to her own home nearby, but because she was too drunk, I couldn't get any effective answer when I asked her about her address.

For example, when asked "Where is your home", she would answer "It's a handsome guy, come and have a drink with me", which is completely inappropriate.

Unfortunately, Xianren, who had no impression of this area, was not sure where her home was.

The wise man, who was not so indifferent as to sit idly by and watch someone pass out drunk on the street, hesitated for a moment and decided to carry her back to his apartment temporarily, lay her on his bed, and wait for her to sober up naturally.

During this time, he also left a piece of paper at his home, writing that he could leave on his own if he sobered up, and went out to buy some daily necessities and food.

But when he returned home from outside, the other party was still lying on his bed, mumbling something incomprehensible, immersed in sleep and not waking up. In this regard, the wise man could only throw the remaining paper into the wastebasket he had just bought. He never thought that the wastebasket would come in handy so soon.

At first, he would pay attention to Ms. Takasu lying on the bed, but when she didn't wake up for a long time, Xianren no longer paid attention to her and began to clean and rearrange the entire room.

Even the room itself is only 1DK, about 8 pings. After the toilet and bathroom are separated into dry and wet areas, which already occupy a part of the space, there is not much space left and it is difficult to put too many things. Xianren just placed the green plants he bought in the corner next to his desk.

When it was noon, he started to prepare his lunch. He was so intoxicated that he had forgotten how long it had been since he had cooked.

Using the semi-finished products purchased from the supermarket, the wise man only needs to heat and cook the ingredients himself.

Cut the kelp and carrots into small pieces and gradually add the ingredients to the cooked broth. A faint fragrance fills the air. After replacing the lid on the pot, Xianren also started to prepare other dishes...

Her head was buzzing, and Takasu Yasuko felt her mouth dry. The subtle sounds in her ears, under the aftereffects of drunkenness, were like needles, difficult to accept. Under various factors, she was immersed in sleep. Just when she dreamed that she was about to taste the miso soup made by her son, she opened her eyes and saw the white wall.

"Walls? White walls?"

It should have been an ordinary white wall, but to Takasu Yasuko, it looked so strange.

Neither the apartment where she and her son lived nor her workplace had such soothing pure white walls. Moreover, she also noticed that the bed she was lying on had an unfamiliar, quiet fragrance.

"Well--"

Covering her forehead and gently rubbing her temples with her wrist, Takasu Yasuko's confused expression gradually cleared up. There was still some haziness in her eyes, but she was vigilantly observing the surrounding environment. Takasu Yasuko gradually sat up.

It was a strange environment, a tidy room, his leather jacket placed on a chair not far away, and there was a simple desk and a cactus next to it. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

Looking out the window, she could vaguely see the familiar street scene. She slowly got up from the bed and sat on the edge of the bed. When she wanted to get up, she couldn't find her shoes, so she could only step on the floor and walk slowly towards the room where there was movement.

When she opened the door, she saw a clean and handsome young man standing in front of the kitchen counter, seemingly preparing a meal. His handsome face and the unexpectedly glimpsed vicissitudes of life in his eyes immediately caught Takasu Taiko's attention, and she couldn't help but be stunned. The scene before her was deeply engraved in her heart. She opened her mouth, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.

She didn't know him, but she wanted to know him!

The moment the door opened, Xianren, who was preparing lunch, noticed that Ms. Takasu, who was lying on his bed, had woken up.

Turning down the gas temporarily, the wise man looked at the woman wearing a leopard print tank top and long golden curly hair.

"Looks like you're awake now. Do you need a glass of water?"

Stopping what he was cooking, Xianren poured water from a newly bought bottle into a clean cup and handed it to Ms. Takasu.

Staring at the young man in a trance, Takasu Yasuko blinked, lowered her head to look at the water cup in front of her, subconsciously stretched out her hand and took the water cup. It was unknown whether it was intentional or unintentional that the hand that took the water cup held the young man's hand.

Seeing his hand being held, Xianren was stunned for a moment, and his hand trembled slightly, as if he had been electrocuted. Seeing that the other party was holding the water cup, he was stunned for a moment, and then calmly withdrew his hand.

"Thank you. I must have been drunk last night. Why am I here? Where is this place?"

Noticing that her previous behavior was a bit rude, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to care, Takasu Yasuko just pretended nothing happened. After drinking a sip of water to relieve the dryness of her drunkenness, she asked why she was there.

"Fuji Highland Apartment, next to Horizaka. When I was getting ready to leave this morning, I found you sleeping at the door of the apartment. I didn't know where you lived, so I carried you back. Your clothes are in the room."

After withdrawing his hand, Xianren continued with his cooking while calmly answering the other party's questions.

What happened just now was a little surprising, but it was not enough to shake the wise man, and he did not take it to heart.

"I see. Sorry to trouble you."

Takasu Yasuko placed the cup of water on the kitchen counter and bowed to thank the wise man.

He looked at Takasu Yasuko beside him and wanted to tell her not to take it to heart, but when he looked at her, he saw the surging waves and the deep invisible ravines. His mind went blank for a moment, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, turned his head away, and pretended he saw nothing.

"Nothing, I just saw someone who needed help and couldn't just sit back and watch. Now that you're awake, go home early."

He ordered the guest to leave without any hesitation. The wise man felt that it was a little inappropriate to let the guest stay here any longer. It was hard for him not to think too much about the other party's action of holding his hand just now.

"Ah... well, my name is Takasu Yasuko, and I live nearby. If you need any help, please feel free to ask. So..."

Yasuko Takasu returned to the room, picked up her leather jacket, put it on, and returned to the kitchen counter to thank the wise man.

"Thank you very much again! Goodbye!"

With his hands clasped together and thanked the wise man again, he left the room and closed the door.

Xianren, standing in front of the kitchen counter, looked at the closed door and breathed a long sigh of relief. The air was still filled with the strong smell of perfume and alcohol on the other person, but what impressed Xianren the most was the other person's apology just now.

"It's a little shocking...ah!"

He smelled a slight burnt smell and looked down. While he was still immersed in the shock, the food in his hand had been burnt because of his distraction...

"........"

I got up at six in the morning and started writing. I wrote three thousand words, but I felt it was not good enough, so I deleted it and rewrote a chapter.

Thanks to Keshe Fengyu for the monthly ticket! Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes!

The season when cherry blossoms bloom: 2. I copied myself, isn’t it embarrassing?

"I have to go buy curtains later. They haven't been installed yet. Such a transparent environment is really unpleasant."

Looking at the floor-to-ceiling window leading to the balcony and the small window next to it, the curtains that should have been used for sunshade and privacy protection were nowhere to be seen. Perhaps the previous tenant took them down and took them away when they moved out.
