I (30), Who Works for a Black Company and Died While Regretting My Gloomy Life, Started Over From High School! - Chapter 47

Chapter 47 – Battle report and my sister’s stomach was killed.

It was after I came back from my visit to the Shijouin’s household and after a long tiring day.

In the living room of my house, my younger sister had turned into a laughing bag.

“F-Fuhahahahaha! What’s with that!? What’s with that!? How did you end up telling her parents that you like their daughter before confessing to her? K-Kuhahahahaha…! Wait, stop, no more, my stomach is killing me…!”

She asked me to talk about my visit to the Shijouin family, and I told her about it, but the story only got to the part about Tokimune-san’s interview.

“It can’t be helped, you know! Both Akiko-san and Tokimune-san were serious! Especially during the interview with Tokimune-san, if I lied because of my embarrassment, my reputation would have hit rock bottom.”

“I know, but…! It was supposed to be a simple lunch invitation, but it ended up into a marriage interview! Screaming your love for her in front of such an overprotective father, kuku, it’s impossible not to laugh…!”

How dare you laugh at the scene where I almost had a heart attack.

You wanna laugh so hard, I’ll make you laugh harder then!

“Ah, I screamed! ‘I love Haruka-san!,’ ‘I’m proud to say that my feelings for her are second to none,’ ‘I really love her,’ and then, ‘I love her smile, her serious face, and also her angry face.’ I exposed all of my honest feelings in front of her father!!”

“Hey, stop… hahahahahahahahahahaha! I can’t breathe… anymore, hahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

As I added fuel to the fire, Kanako rolled around on the floor and burst into laughter as if she had eaten a warai take (laughing mushroom).

Damn, if it was someone else’s story, I probably would laugh too…

“Haー… Hiー… Ah, that was crazy… I laughed so hard I seriously thought I was going to die… The fact that I can laugh harder watching my brother’s love life than actual comedians is even more hilarious…”

“Oi, see, like I told you before, I didn’t fall in love just to provide you with some kind of entertainment, you hear me?”

“Haha, sorry about that. But, the fact that your interview with her dad went well is a great accomplishment for you!”

“Ah… I still don’t know how I got through with that interview, but at least I was given permission to stay by her side as a friend.”

Even Akiko-san was amazed, that was probably because that was originally an impossible event if I was to put it in game terms.

In fact, without my second-life cheat, it would have been impossible for me.

“So… nothing happened with you and Shijouin-san? You just had a meal together?”

“No, not exactly. After Tokimune-san’s interview, the two of us had tea time alone in Shijouin-san’s room…”

“Oooooh!?”

“We accidentally ended up in close contact, so close that we could almost feel each other’s breathing. Then, my reasoning started to fade at the scent of Shijouin-san, so I… tried to reached for her and…”

“OOOOOOOOOOOOH!?”

“Then I noticed Tokimune-san peeking inside the room with murderous eyes, and all that sweet atmosphere vanished instantly.”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Mo~ooooouuu!”

I was really scared to death… at that time.

He acknowledged me to a certain extent, but when it comes to Shijoin-san, he will do everything in his power to stop me. He really loves his daughter too much.

“What the hell! It probably would have been a game set if it wasn’t for Shijouin daddy!”

“Incidentally, Akiko-san also intervened to stop her husband.”

“Aren’t there a lot of oddball wealthy people?”

“I thought so too.”

Shijouin-san herself is an angel without a doubt, but if you ask me if that degree of innocence is normal for a person, I can hardly answer that question.

“Ahー too bad… I guess that’s where the love story ends…”

“Yeah, it was getting late after that, so I decided to go home.”

Shijouin-san somewhat regretfully smiled at me and said, “See you at school.”

Akiko-san added with a wink, “Come visit us again! You should definitely come!” and Tokimune-san warned me while stabbing me with his finger nail, “Next time remember to keep yourself in check…!”

But I had no plan to weigh myself down in the future.

Although a major obstacle has been overcome, I will continue to approach Shijouin-san carefully.

In fact, when I learned that Tokimune-san had a much rockier love life than mine when he was younger, based on Akiko-san’s stories, I felt like telling him, “Are you really the one to say that!?”

When the head of the Shijouin family told him to stay away from his daughter, he rock-climbed the wall of their house and knocked on the window of Akiko-san’s room. He also interrupted Akiko-san’s blind date, which she didn’t actually want to attend, and caused a ruckus.

“Hmm? So, what are you writing now, Aniki?”

“Oh, this? It’s a letter of gratitude addressed to Shijouin-san’s family. Thanks for inviting me the other day. It was a lot of fun.“

“Wow, Aniki…! As usual, your attentiveness is not very youth-like at all…!”

Guha… Isn’t this like when I visited the Shijoin family? Recently, I’ve been hearing lots of people telling me that I don’t act like a youth, is that really the case?.

No, but this kind of thing is pretty important after all, isn’t it?

If you don’t have the contact of the person you want to thank via e-mail, the only way to show your gratitude is to verbally thank them or by writing a letter, and since writing letters take more time to write than digital messages, they naturally take the sentiment more strongly.

“Haa, that’s all well and good, but… don’t let up on your approach in the future, Aniki.”

Kanako, who’s in her love warrior mode and has helped me many times, said.

“I don’t know what Shijouin-san really thinks of Aniki, but if she didn’t care about you… she certainly won’t even invite you to her house! It was over after she returned the favor, no matter how much she felt indebted to you! I’m sure there’s a connection between you two! This popular middle schooler, Kanako, guarantees it!”

“Oh, oh… The way you said it… is mysteriously convincing. …”

She’s just a 14 year old middle schooler, but her knowledge of romance is far superior to mine…

“So work hard to lose your virginity in the upcoming season! The hurdle is higher than Everest for you, but the higher the goal, the better!”

“You’re being so damn rude! And you’re a girl, so stop talking about virginity every freaking time!”

“And you shouldn’t put rubbers in your wallet just in case, because I heard that my friend’s boyfriend dropped it when he was paying at a cafe and it was a hella embarrassing experience”.

“Oraaaaaa! You’re deliberately telling me an erotic story to mess with me, aren’t you?

“Tsk, despite being Aniki, you’ve got a good head…!”

Haa, well, having done our usual banter, the report session to my sister was over―

A new season was just around the corner, leaving only a little time to spare.
