Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 37

Uesugi Kenichi gave her a speechless look; her skill in blatantly lying was truly impressive.

"Come a little closer."

"I didn't tell you to get this close."

After reapplying the medicine to Saeko Busujima, he said, "It's very late, you should go home."

Saeko Busujima turned her face away, pretending not to hear, and then looked at him with pitiful eyes, as if she had been abandoned.

Uesugi Kenichi ignored those looks. He had finally figured it out; these girls were incredibly good at playing the victim, and they were simply unbelievable.

Although he didn't dislike Saeko Busujima living here, it wasn't like she had nowhere else to live. He had no intention of living with a girl right now, and the house was too small.

"Be good, go back first, okay? We can still see each other at school." Uesugi Kenichi changed tactics and said very gently, coaxing Saeko Busujima until she was completely bewildered before sending her out.

He wasn't worried about Saeko Busujima's safety; those who should be worried were the ones who dared to have lustful thoughts about her.

After practicing for a while, he spent some time in the simulated battlefield, completing his training quota for the day before taking a shower and leaning against his pillow to think quietly.

Before he knew it, he seemed to have many more people around him, including quite a few girls, and they were all very outstanding.

He wasn't a wooden man; naturally, he couldn't let his heart be as hard as stone, unmoved by anything.

He wasn't a particularly oblivious person; it was clear that Kato Megumi, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Busujima Saeko had genuinely fallen for him.

This is unlikely to be an illusion.

What about him?

He originally planned not to date during this period, not only because it was highly unlikely to work out, but also because it would waste a lot of his time.

But since discovering the power of this system, his sense of urgency has lessened considerably. He can learn anything very quickly, dozens of times faster than before.

But now he has to admit that his own heart has also been stirred.

He won't lie to himself, because you can fool others, but you can't fool yourself.

But what's bothering him now is that he still can't figure out who he likes.

Uesugi Kenichi sighed. He couldn't possibly have them all, could he?

Well, let's take it one step at a time. Maybe he's just being delusional.

But what should Saeko Busujima do?

He thought for a while and realized there seemed to be no other way. Judging from Saeko Busujima's behavior, she was determined to stay by his side.

Uesugi Kenichi had several thoughts running through his mind and felt somewhat helpless, so he simply stopped caring. Being reborn with a cheat code and still living such a complicated life was just asking for trouble.

If she wants to stay by his side, then let her stay; the sky won't fall.

Thinking this way, Uesugi Kenichi felt much more at ease. Just as he was about to go to sleep, the phone rang.

He picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID. His expression suddenly turned serious.

Although he had long anticipated this day, he still felt somewhat lost.

The caller was his biological parents. He hadn't contacted his family for over a month because he wasn't mentally prepared.

Although he didn't know how to face it, he knew he couldn't avoid it, so he thought for a moment and then pressed the call button.

He held his breath and waited for a while but didn't hear anything coming from the other end of the phone. However, he could clearly hear a slight breathing sound on the other end.

"Hello," he said, waiting a moment for a response from the other end. "Hello, can you hear me?"

The breathing on the other end of the phone became heavier, but no one spoke. Just as he was about to ask again, the call was disconnected.

He looked at his phone with a puzzled expression, wondering if there was something wrong with it, but there was definitely sound coming from the other end of the call.

Just as he was wondering, the phone rang again; it was the same phone.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"Can you hear me? Is that Kenichi?"

A somewhat weathered voice came from the other end of the phone, clearly indicating his age; it must be the original owner's father, Uesugi Nogo.

"It's me. What's wrong? Is there something you need?" Uesugi Kenichi hesitated for a moment, unable to bring himself to call him "father" (Li Li Zhao), so he simply gave up on the idea.

"It's nothing. Erii just called you. She really misses you and secretly took my phone to call you, but she hung up without saying a word."

"Oh, I see. Is everything alright at home?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine at home. You can focus on your studies over there. Don't worry about home. I'll have Erii say a few words to you."

When Uesugi Kenichi heard some sounds coming from the other end of the phone, it sounded like Uesugi Nogo was letting Erii answer the phone.

He kept searching his memories, trying to figure out who Erii really was. It seemed that there were no memories of her in the original owner's memories that he had inherited.

But it sounds like it might be his sister?

He kept thinking and finally remembered, a strange expression appearing on his face.

According to his memories, his sister's name was Uesugi Erii. She was adopted by his family when he was 8 years old and was one year younger than him.

However, judging from her memories, the original owner seemed to dislike her very much, and usually ignored or scolded her.

As for the reason, it seems that his parents didn't love him as much as before because of her arrival, and it caused his already meager allowance to decrease further, so they basically didn't give this adopted sister a kind look.

No wonder Uesugi Kenichi hadn't noticed the existence of his younger sister before.

Based on the images I remember, this younger sister named Erii seemed to have red hair, a very introverted personality, and didn't like to talk much.

It seems to stem from her childhood experience of being abandoned and not being well-liked by the original owner of the body, which is why she is somewhat cautious.

Uesugi Kenichi bit his finger, feeling that the original owner of this body really lacked the responsibility of a man, actually taking his anger out on others over something like this.

"Onii-san." A voice, as soft as a mosquito's buzz, came from the other end of the phone, but it was very clear and pleasant to hear.

"It's Erii. Have you been behaving well at home?" Uesugi Kenichi said gently with a smile.

"Yes, Erii is very well-behaved at home." Erii's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. "When are you coming back, Onii-san? Erii misses you."

"That's good. Your brother won't be on vacation for a while, and then he'll bring you to Tokyo."

"Really?!" Erii asked in disbelief. Why were her brothers, who usually didn't treat her well, suddenly so nice to her today?

“Really,” Uesugi Kenichi said with a smile.

"Then I won't bother you any longer, Onii-san. Get some rest, Onii-san. Goodbye."

Seemingly afraid that Uesugi Kenichi might change his mind, Erii immediately hung up the phone, returned it to Uesugi Nogo, and ran back to her room alone with a smile brighter than the most beautiful flowers on her face.

Since being taken in by the Uesugi family, Erii has been somewhat cautious. Of course, the Uesugi family treats her very well, perfectly illustrating the question of who is the biological mother.

Even though the original owner didn't like her, she didn't do anything to bully her.

However, she could still sense that Uesugi Kenichi was becoming distant from her, even though she really liked her brother and wanted to play with him and go to school together.

However, Uesugi Kenichi's attitude made her hesitate, wanting to get closer yet also afraid.

But I never expected that my uncle's attitude towards her would change so drastically today.

"Yoshi-chan, what's going on? Does Onii-san really not hate Erii anymore?"

Erii picked up a rag doll from the bed, held it up to her eyes, and asked a question.

"Of course! Erii is such a good girl, her older brother won't hate me forever, right? You're absolutely right, aren't you? You're so smart! Erii thinks so too. But there's still a long time before the holidays start. Ah, you said it won't be long, will it just pass by in a flash?"

Erii was having a blast talking to her doll. After playing until she was tired, she lay down on the bed, her long, soft, dark red hair cascading freely onto the pillow, her deep rose-red eyes filled with anticipation.

I really hope the holiday starts soon!

……

After putting down his phone, Uesugi Kenichi felt a mix of emotions. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he did have a family again in this life, and a younger sister, although she wasn't his biological sister.

I really don't understand. Isn't it good to have a younger sister? Especially such a cute one. They just don't know how to cherish her at all.

He was somewhat speechless. In his memory, Erii was indeed incredibly well-behaved, so obedient that it made him feel a little sorry for her.

Since the original owner failed to shoulder the responsibilities that an older brother should have, then let him take on those responsibilities!

In fact, Kenichi Uesugi is very happy about having a younger sister. In his previous life, he had always hoped to have a younger sister, and he was quite envious when he saw other siblings playing around.

Although he doesn't know how to face these relatives, he will make sure they live a good life and don't have to worry about money anymore.

Two days later, at Aki Tomoya's urging, the newly established studio held another gathering.

The location was chosen to be Tomoya Aki's house. They had originally decided to go to Kenichi Uesugi's house, but he declined because the place was too small.

It's not that I'm making excuses; it's really because it's too small. With so many people, there's practically no room to move around.

“This should be it,” said Uesugi Kenichi, looking at the detached house in front of him.

It seems that Aki Tomoya comes from a well-off family; owning a house like this in Tokyo is no easy feat.

"Is this the place? Is it inappropriate for me to come along?" Kato Megumi asked Uesugi Kenichi in a soft, gentle voice, with a hint of mischief on her face.

"It's okay. Besides, didn't you insist on coming along? Why are you saying this now?" Uesugi Kenichi said, tugging at Kato Megumi's ponytail.

"I also want to see what kind of game you made, Qianyi. Let's go in."

"Ah."

Uesugi Ken nodded and, noticing the door wasn't closed, went inside first. Once inside, everyone else was already there except for him.

After greeting everyone, Uesugi Kenichi introduced, "This is my good friend, Kato Megumi, who came here today to observe."

Then he turned around and introduced them all to Kato Megumi.

Kato Megumi's gaze swept over Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha before finally lingering on Kasumigaoka Utaha for a long time.

It seems there's more than one cat trying to steal fish; that's quite a headache.

"Hello everyone, I'm Kato Megumi. I'm in the same class as Kenichi. Please take care of me." Kato Megumi had an elegant smile on her face. Her original inconspicuousness disappeared without a trace at this moment, and her presence was overwhelming.

Kenichi? Kasumigaoka Utaha noticed the way Kato Megumi addressed Uesugi Kenichi and a cold glint appeared in her eyes. Her sharp gaze fixed on Kato Megumi, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

Similarly, Eriri looked at Kato Megumi with a very unfriendly gaze, as if she wanted to scrutinize her.

"Kenichi, it seems like Sawamura and Kasumigaoka have been watching me the whole time," Kato Megumi said calmly.

Upon hearing what Kato Keiichi said, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally looked away.

"Alright, let's get started." Aki Tomoya couldn't help but urge him on. After returning home that day, his mind was completely immersed in the magnificent world described by Uesugi Kenichi. Although he couldn't do that yet, it proved Uesugi Kenichi's ability and made him eager to participate in the game's development.
