I (30), Who Works for a Black Company and Died While Regretting My Gloomy Life, Started Over From High School! - Chapter 60

60. This time, I won’t betray my sister’s smile ②.

“Ah… it was so hot that this maiden already smells like sweat…”

Kanako, sitting opposite me in a cooled coffee shop, said this in a tired voice with a cup of iced tea in her hand.

“You’ve already wasted a lot of fluid arguing stupidly in the fcking heat… After all this time, it’s still too hot in Japan in the summer.”

It’s a little depressing to know that in the future the maximum summer temperature will be even higher, and there will be many days when you will seriously die if you are unprotected.

Heat has always been the worst enemy in the outside world.

“By the way, is this the end of your shopping? I thought you were going to buy a lot of stuff because you said you were a baggage handler, but it’s only a small amount.”

“If I had the money, I’d want an endless supply of clothes and accessories. Even the most popular junior high school girl, Kanako, can’t control her money. …Oh my God, I wish I could show the world how cute I am and get a fee to see a beautiful girl, like a money offering!

I was gonna say, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!”

As I was about to say this, I remembered that beautiful and handsome content creators use their appearance in the future as a weapon to earn money from their viewers, commonly known as “throwaway money.”

I don’t know what’s going to happen in this world…

“But you should remember what happened on today’s date, brother. No matter how equal the sexes are, girls still want boys to be dependable. When you go on a date, be cheerful, gentle, and don’t panic. Virgins are especially vulnerable to trouble and tend to get upset.”

I’ll take your advice, but we’re in a store, so choose your words carefully…!
Don’t say “virgin” lightly!

“You always make fun of people as virgins. ……”

“Well, I’ve never even held hands with a boy before.”

“Ha?”

“He?”

Kanako and I looked at each other and blinked.

No, no, wait a minute.

“No, no, no, no! No, no, NO!　Didn’t that advice you gave me every time today come from your experience of dating?”

“I’ve had more than a dozen people come on to me, and I’ve gone out with all of them.　But we always come to the conclusion that we’re not the same, so we all split up after about five minutes to a month.”

“You’re early!　I mean, you’re not dating a guy who’s been with you for five minutes!”

“So you’re saying that you’ve had a lot of relationships, but you’ve never been in a relationship with anyone that could be called a boyfriend? You’ve only been in a trial relationship?　

“The rumor of me being a ‘love master who takes in and takes out guys’ spread around the school, and more and more kids came to me for love advice. I’ve been doing that for a long time, and I’ve learned a lot thanks to my own experience plus a lot of stories. It’s like a lawyer who’s done a lot of divorce counseling and has become extremely knowledgeable about the psychology of couples, isn’t it?”

I thought you had a lot of experience as a junior high schooler! So that’s what happened…

No wonder you’ve never had a boyfriend in your life!

“So you’re saying that you’re a virgin, but you’re also a naive earwig!” (ED: An earwig is an older word used to describe someone who pesters people and gossips about them.)

“You can use the advice in real life, so why not? I’m sure you’re a little relieved that your sister isn’t a bitch!

“Ugh…”

Kanako, who had unusually flinched, turned away and said back.

And that was a good point.

I don’t care who Kanako is dating, but I find myself a little relieved that she’s still my sister and not someone’s boyfriend.

In the end, I don’t want my sister to be taken away from me because we finally became close in this life. TLN: Siscon smh

“Come on, enough about me, let’s talk about Shijouin-san! I was a little taken aback the other day when you were implying that you hadn’t exchanged addresses yet. …You did well after that, didn’t you?”

As she always does when she hears about my love life, Kanako leans forward with a twinkle in her eye. Based on what I just said this girl would be more excited about someone else’s love life than his own.

‘Yeah, I got that part right. We exchanged addresses, and we’re already emailing each other frequently!”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Nice work, bro!　If you say you’re not ready for this, I’ll say, ‘You lousy virgin!’ I was going to cuss you out and kick your butt!”

What a horrible thing to think about.

“When his father, Tokimune-san, asked her if she was texting me, Shijouin smiled and said ‘Yes!’”

“Yeah, her father is that overprotective president, right? Is he going to be okay?”

“Oh, it’s not like they’re trying to interfere with our mail or anything. That said… when Shijouin-san is texting in the living room, he’s writhing in agony and moaning in weird voices like ‘Urrrrgh…’ and ‘Guuuuuu…’. He’s probably thinking, ‘I can’t stand the thought of Haruka and that little ‘boy’ texting each other.’ and he’s cursing me like that…”

“Bufu…! Wait, what is that? His reaction is too easy to understand! Hahahahahahaha! My brother’s love life is as interesting as ever!”

Thinking it was someone else’s problem, Kanako laughed really hard.

The next time I see Tokimune-san, I’m going to be so scared.

I let out a sigh of disgust as I imagined the overprotective dad’s “annoyance meter” going up and up like a nighttime cab fare.
