drop drop drop
Feeling the vibration of the mobile phone, Kai Uesugi put down the book in his hand and checked the text messages in the mobile phone.

"Do you have the secret to turn all the mobile phones you use into iPhones?"

"."

Another fraudulent text message, Kaoru Uesugi turned off the phone directly, and didn't even bother to delete it.

This is the fifth fraudulent text message after [inherited 99 billion yen], [mother died], [quantum system damaged, transfer 3000 billion yen], [I am your father, please link quickly].

"There are quite a lot of tricks."

Uesugi Kai withdrew his thoughts, looked up at the smiling crowd in front of him, and continued to enjoy his comfortable lazy time.

The spring breeze in late March blows from the north with a bit of chill. The cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road sway with the wind, and the dazzling petals slowly fall down.

The noisy passengers sighed from time to time, and stopped here to watch the beautiful scenery at this moment.

Uesugi Kai, who was sitting quietly on the bench, gently closed the book in his hand, and followed them to watch the sea of ​​flowers all over the sky. His calm heart could not help but sway to the past:

"Speaking of rebirth. This, it's been No. 16 years."

The sea of ​​flowers all over the sky is dotted with the clear blue sky, adding a rare tranquility to this noisy city.

This is Tokyo's Shinjuku Gyoen Park, where the world-famous Yae Sakura blooms.

Most tourists from all over the world come to Tokyo to enjoy the cherry blossoms at this time. They are in groups, enjoying such a pleasant time in twos and threes.

The so-called cherry blossoms fly down and the garden is full of spring, and the first arrival of people greets them with smiles.

Kai Uesugi likes this kind of atmosphere very much, because the lively crowd always brings warm laughter and laughter, filling his lonely heart with a little warmth.

Now, it is the No.16 year since he was reborn here.

Except for the fragmentary memory of the useless ordinary office worker in the previous life, now he is just an ordinary high school student in Tokyo.

The goal is the University of Tokyo, which everyone is pursuing but is out of reach.

He just wants to find a job that makes a comfortable living, earn enough money, open a coffee shop and get by.

Sometimes an ordinary and comfortable life is the most worth pursuing.

but now,
He looked at the cherry blossoms falling in the sky, but was in a daze.

【Drip.】

[The rebirth system has been activated]

【please enter your name:_】

Is this a scam text message?
"."

After hesitating for a while, Uesugi Kai finally realized it.

No, it should have been linked to the account.

He didn't believe that those scammers had the technology to send information directly to his eyes.

For the translucent blue font that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, floating in the air, Uesugi Kai did not feel any transitional joy, and his expression remained calm.

As a reborn person, I can't help but have some fantasies in my spare time.

Now it's just a fantasy come true, nothing to be surprised about, after all things like rebirth have come, what else is unacceptable?
Staring closely at the blue font in front of his eyes, Kai Uesugi stroked his chin and began to think.

system
A thing composed of unknown structure, unknown principle, and unknown motivation.

In essence, it is no different from the scam text message just now.

Cautiously, he began to imagine the consequences of entering his name in his mind.

For example, like an ordinary high school student in an ordinary anime, after losing, his life changed. He immediately traveled to another world and became a princess who was married to the king by the hero who killed the demon king.

For another example, after the system was turned on, monsters and wraiths that had never appeared before all appeared.

And as a person who owns the system, he will soon be invited to join by some strange organization that has never been heard of because of his special qualifications. During the period, he will meet various girls and start the so-called journey to the harem.

Just think about—

very messy.
Uesugi Kai shook his head, and put all these miscellaneous thoughts behind him, his attention refocused on the flashing underline in front of him, and he got a little tangled up:

So, should you enter your own name?

Although he has a strong ability to accept, he should forget about traveling through different worlds, and his ordinary life will be completely over by then.

He fell into thought again.
In the Imperial Garden, Kaoru Uesugi, who is sitting on a bench, looks out of place compared to the tourists who enjoy themselves and forget to return.

After thinking for a while, he still entered his name.

【Enter successfully】

【Name: Uesugi Kai】

[Authenticating identity, please wait]

It's not that he didn't worry about the things he thought before, but he felt that there were some things that were more important than those possible strange things:

That is--

I can finally be lazy with my golden finger.

Well, he admitted that he was tired, he didn't want to work hard anymore, he just wanted to be a lazy salted fish.

In order to be admitted to a famous private high school in Tokyo, he worked hard day and night to get this result, and the tuition fees are also expensive, and his family is just an ordinary family with a house in Tokyo.

And as a person who has lived a new life, facing a golden finger that suddenly appeared in his mind, no matter what he thinks, he should try it.

Opportunities always come with certain risks.

Among the noisy crowd, Kai Uesugi closed the book on his lap and waited quietly.

He looked at the faint blue font that was gradually disappearing, and he was ready.

The cherry blossoms are constantly falling with the breeze, and they are exuding their own sweet breath, which is also a fresh and light floral fragrance in the nose, which is not greasy, and only feels comfortable to the brain.

That's why he sits here and reads a book.

"Uemuesugi-kun."

Hearing this soft voice, Kai Uesugi, who had been silent for a long time, opened his eyes, and saw a young and charming girl who suddenly appeared in sight.

"Fireworks?"

"Ah."

Under the falling cherry tree, Hanamaru Hanabi nodded weakly, and there seemed to be intoxicating sweet wine on her delicate and blushing little face.

The coldness of March in Tokyo has not gone, and spring is here.

The girl's clothes are also relatively conservative, a light gray Japanese windbreaker paired with a beige wool sweater, and a thick light blue scarf wrapped around her neck.

Under the shoulder-length short hair, there are smudged and flushed cheeks.

Creamy white Japanese pleated skirt, white ankle socks.

The transparent lace on the hem of the skirt matches the color of the cherry blossoms all over the body very well, adding a touch of cuteness.

Soft appearance, weak voice, lovable.

Kai Uesugi looked at her pair of bright and warm purple eyes, and asked:
"How did you come?"

Hanamaru Hanabi shrank her head, buried her rosy face in the scarf, clasped her fingers between her thighs, and whispered weakly:
"Today is the cherry blossom season. Hanabi Hanabi wanted to watch the cherry blossoms with Uesugi-kun. But Aunt Noriko said that you had already left the house at eight o'clock in the morning."

"That's why I'm here."
