I am a reincarnation player.

It’s really interesting that he also has moments like this. It turns out that my choice was correct.

Even though she wanted to rush out of the room right now and run to the beach, laughing and stamping her feet, Hayasaka Ai held back, exceeding Yuuki's limit of waiting.

Well, ever since the red moon, this maid has been different from what I remembered.

Yuki was not surprised. The reincarnation game would change a person, and as long as he did not turn evil, he would be under control.

"Hayasaka, I have prepared a gift for you as well." He was well prepared and took out the lucky earrings. "Chaos items related to luck are too rare. This is the best one. Just use it for now."

Although it is only at the mutant level, it can be upgraded in the future. After taking it, Hayasaka Ai glanced at the panel and nodded with satisfaction.

She is a DPS player, and the side effects of items have a greater impact.

That's more or less.

Yuki understood the look in her eyes and quickly poured herself a cup of tea, only then did he have time to take a good look at Hayasaka Ai.

Her long golden hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was wearing a school uniform from an unknown school, a light-colored shirt, and a very short dark blue plaid skirt, which formed an absolute area with the white stockings.

Coupled with the serious yet indifferent expression, there is a sense of attraction that makes people peel off the outer layer and find out what's inside.

The two girls exude completely opposite auras, just like their long legs, one black and one white.

"Let's go out for a quick meal together, and then we can come back to discuss the additional order?"

Adding points has become a regular feature of the team. At least last time, Yuki's guidance was crucial, and the one reinforcement point that was left unused was even more crucial.

"It would be a bit high-profile for the three of us to go out, especially since the senior is very troublesome." Hayasaka Ai shook her fingers, and what she said made sense.

Not only is it high-profile, it also attracts hatred. The density of single people around this university town is extremely high.

"What then? Aren't you hungry?"

“Just eat at home.”

"But my family..."

Before Yuki could finish his words, he realized that Hayasaka Ai had brought a handbag. When he opened it, he found that it was filled with food.

Ah, this was premeditated, right?

"I passed by a supermarket on the way here and bought some ingredients. Do you have a pot?"

Without waiting for Yuki to answer, Hayasaka Ai went to the open kitchen, saw the kitchen utensils, and skillfully took off her apron and put it on.

I don't know why, but it looks very professional when she wears it.

"It's safer to eat at home." Hayasaka Ai shook the earrings in her hand while busying herself. "Besides, this is a return gift. You're not disappointed, are you?"

"No, it's a very good gift." Yuki shook his head decisively, but after saying that, he felt something was wrong. Isn't this implying something to the senior?

Mai Sakurajima also noticed it and looked over with squinted eyes, conveying information with her eyes.

"Hayasaka, are you serious?"

"It's just a meal. You can eat it, right?"

"This has nothing to do with eating or not. Have you been planning this for a long time?"

"Just now, when Senior let me in, she acted like the hostess."

Yuki could hear the sound of eyes colliding in the air, and he decisively picked up his phone to check the forum, but he saw nothing.

"I'll help too." Sakurajima Mai took the initiative to stand up and said with a smile: "We are all guests, it's a bargain for you."

I didn't hear anything, don't ask me.

Yuki continued to study the forum with his head down, and only turned his head slightly when a pair of long legs in black stockings walked past him.

The two of them were busy in the kitchen, Mai was beating the eggs, Hayasaka Ai was washing the rice, and they also cleaned the kitchen counter which was rarely used.

No one spoke, everyone was busy with their work. Familiar figures walked back and forth, and the sea breeze slightly lifted the hem of their skirts.

Jingle Bell.

The wind chimes rang again, making the man who had succeeded in his evil plan smile comfortably.

Nice atmosphere.

Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai are both smart people, so it won't cause too many problems in their relationship, nor will it affect the copy strategy. In this situation, it will be an advantage for Yuuki.

'Even in my original conception, this scene would not have been possible.'

Two beautiful girls cooking for themselves in a rented house? You've played too many GALGAMEs, right?

Yuki never dared to hope for it before, but now he has to thank the Reincarnation Game.

In addition to the friendship between life and death, the game isolates all players. The dungeons are hopeless and the reality is weird, so they can only gather together for warmth.

How should I put it? Everyone seems to have become more patient.

They care more about each other's thoughts and are less likely to give up. After going through two copies, each player's personality will be distorted, and they know that life and death are the biggest contradictions.

Everything is within control, and this little spark makes reality completely different from the copy.

Yuki sat cross-legged with his back leaning on the coffee table. His undisguised gaze could not be hidden from anyone. Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai, who were busy, also slowed down their movements, feeling that something was wrong.

"Why do I feel like he got a bargain?"

"Yeah, I also feel like he has tricked me. Senior, why don't you go take a rest?"

"You should go and rest. After all, you just came from Tokyo."

"No, no, no, senior sister, you take a rest first."

Yuki couldn't hear clearly what the two were saying, but he smiled sinisterly. This was also within his calculations. The biggest commonality between Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai was that they were both strong-willed.

No, it should be said that every veteran player is very strong.

Sure enough, despite what they said, no one took the initiative to step back. Instead, they cooperated very well, and the monotonous sound of cutting vegetables echoed in the room.

Absolutely safe and absolutely comfortable.

As Yuki watched, he felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier. His nerves, which had been tortured in the devil's hospital for more than twenty hours, began to relax, and even his thinking became very slow.

He moved his nose and smelled a refreshing scent, sweet and quiet, which dispelled all the haze.

Mm, the taste of everyday life.

Jingle Bell.

The sea breeze blew in, Hayasaka Ai raised her hand to smooth her long hair beside her ears, and put the chopped red peppers into the box.

The rice is almost ready. I just need to stir-fry it. Is Mai making curry? She's quite good at it.

She glanced to the side and met Mai's gaze.

“The meal was good.”

"Thank you very much. You are very professional. You must have done this a lot, right?"

"No, just occasionally." Hayasaka Ai-chan said that there was a professional chef cooking, raised her long eyebrows, and suddenly found that the gaze behind her disappeared.

So she and Mai turned around and saw Yuki lying on the sofa, sleeping soundly.

The sea breeze blew through the black hair, making it seem particularly quiet. The two of them were stunned by this scene and both felt it was a little strange.

Yuki is not noisy, and is even more taciturn in the dungeon, but his ruthlessness and confidence are so impressive that people forget his age.

"This pig-head is sleeping in the middle of the day."

"Maybe he's sleepy, or maybe he hasn't slept since returning."

“No way, I should have rested well after returning, but I just lay down on the bed without even taking off my clothes.” Mai was a little puzzled, but soon realized something.

Yuki is different from them. He has a lot of things to consider. Leaving the copy is just the beginning of another journey.

"It seems that you already understand." Hayasaka Ai didn't say much. She walked to the table and opened a thick notebook, which was full of various information, all of which were intelligence extracted from the forum.

She pursed her lips, suddenly filled with shame for some of her thoughts yesterday.

This is all my fault. I dragged him into this.

Hayasaka Ai looked at Yuki and took the blame. After all, from her perspective, it was Yuki who was against the Shinomiya family because of her.

The last time we came into contact with the other party, no matter how many layers of suspicion we created, the truth would eventually come out.

"Hayasaka-san, do you feel better all of a sudden?"

"It's the same for Mai-senpai, right?" Hayasaka Ai knelt beside the coffee table and lowered her voice. "A team must always have a core. As long as the core is not broken, the team will not fall apart even if they are separated by several copies. And they have a foundation in this strange reality."

"I agree." Mai nodded gently, lifted up her skirt, and also knelt beside him, supporting her chin, looking at Yuki lying on the sofa in a daze.

"I suddenly realized that this pig-head is quite handsome when he doesn't talk."

You want to provoke me, right? He is talking dirty in front of you, but what he said is not wrong.

Hayasaka Ai looked at Yuki's face, but another picture appeared in her mind.

A single man guarding the tunnel, a butcher with a knife on a mountain of demon corpses, as she thought about it, she had a completely opposite sense of déjà vu.

That devilish warrior never appeared in reality, and she could not feel the heavy pressure like a mountain. Looking at the sleeping young man, she gradually understood.

Does he like this peaceful daily routine?

Looking at Mai who looked suspicious, Hayasaka Ai suddenly stretched out her hand: "Senior, your curry seems to be getting burnt."

Sakurajima Mai, who was still guessing what she was thinking, suddenly jumped up, not even bothering to put on her slippers, and rushed to the kitchen in a panic.

Looking at the panicked figure, the indifference on Hayasaka Ai's face faded away, revealing a warm smile that rarely appeared.

Well, I don't hate it either.

Chapter 7: Sense of Security

Yuki slept until the afternoon and felt a little dazed as he looked at the sea under the sunset.

I actually fell asleep and the feeling of excitement disappeared. This was contrary to the plan, but it lifted my spirits and gave me a real rest.

Recalling the feeling before falling asleep, he couldn't even describe the wonderful feeling.

"Sorry, I fell asleep without realizing it."

Yuki turned his head and saw Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai who were also yawning. They both looked tired and kept rubbing their eyes.

"It's okay. I'll go heat up some food and have it as dinner."

"You two didn't eat?"

"Not eating for more than ten hours is a basic operation in the reincarnation game. Besides, after reaching the 'extreme' level, it seems that you can tolerate hunger quite well." Hayasaka Ai stood up, rubbed her numb calves, and pointed to the notebook on the table:

"I had nothing to do this afternoon, so my senior and I picked up some interesting information from the forum. Take a closer look."

When Yuki took a look, he saw that the notebook was indeed full of words, and he was instantly moved.

He doesn't ask for anything in return, but he also doesn't like others to take things for granted. Working hard together is not just talk.

"You guys really..."

“Don’t be too moved.” Mai stood up, her black hair covering her face so her expression couldn’t be seen. She just patted Yuki’s shoulder.

"Pighead is the maximum range I can accept. You are not allowed to go beyond this and become a pervert."

Huh? What a weird thing.

Yuki was a little confused. When he saw a rabbit head on the notebook and the gesture of flipping the pages forward, his expression froze instantly.

Oh no, they saw my research data on reincarnation biology!

The sun had already set, and the sea that had been dyed blood red by the setting sun had returned to darkness. The lights were on, and there was no dining table in the small rental house, but several delicious dishes were placed on the coffee table.

The senior made her best curry rice, while Hayasaka Ai stir-fried snow peas and carrot slices and mixed some mustard octopus.

The meals were simple, but Yuki was very satisfied. The small house with a monthly rent of 10,000 yen was also his home. It was the first time he had eaten with friends since he came here.

It's better to give my first time to them than to those idiots in the diving department.

Under the gaze, Yuuki took a bite of curry rice and gave a thumbs up: "It's still as delicious as last time."

"What about this?" Hayasaka Ai asked.

“The taste is fresh and delicious, worthy of being a professional.”

Hayasaka Ai immediately nodded with satisfaction.

Don't underestimate the power of the Church of Balance.
