Episode 1: Will the Moment of Reunion Make You Cry? Part One
“Oh, I am Juncheng An.”
“Most people who know me are probably already familiar with the kind of person I am, so I won’t waste any more words on self-introductions here.”
“But some people must be wondering, didn’t the story end? What else is there to talk about?”
“Well… I won’t say cliché, overused lines like ‘Actually, this is just the beginning.’ It’s true that the story between me and those girls has already ended, along with the end of the old world. Everything is over.”
“What comes after cannot be called a story, but merely trivial matters that happened in an endless cycle of reincarnation.”
“And because it will loop infinitely, it doesn’t really matter if I talk about these things or not. In the end, it’s just adding feet to a snake, like something from a midday soap opera.”
“Compared to a story, it’s more like a diary – a daily life… Yes, let’s put it that way. An epilogue.”
“That’s right, what follows is the epilogue, the epilogue.”
“Although I call it an epilogue, when I say this, it’s no longer as simple as ‘epilogue’.”
“It’s something that happened in the first reincarnation world. So, why am I talking about these things?”
“Well, I just want to show off, Hahahaha! This is my time to brag! Building a harem, enjoying multiple women, no days off, and living a life where I get social security every day!
“That’d be a miracle.”
“I’m truly sorry, but in reality, I haven’t started the kind of exciting daily life you might imagine, where I’m constantly expending vigorous energy.”
“The most tragic thing is that even I thought the subsequent events would be a harem-themed development comparable to adult animated scenes, but that’s precisely what didn’t happen…”
“You know, I spent countless hours to finally, finally reach ” – an ending where no one was lost. To think that it would end up like this, it’s truly too tragic. Tears streamed down…”
“Just kidding. Although I’m a bit disappointed, I’m not that sad.”
“Ever since Lou Ling and I entered the first infinite loop, I’ve been waiting for an excessively long time. Time truly erodes one’s temperament. I, who was originally quite adaptable, have probably become a perfect circle now.”
“You could say I’ve achieved enlightenment, me.”
“Or should I say I’ve entered a continuous state of sage mode?”
“Sage mode my foot, hurry up and get up.”
“Hey, don’t step on me, and don’t read my mind.”
“I’ve noticed you’ve been increasingly fond of using your feet on me.”
“You kick and step on me from time to time. Are you trying to show off your beautiful feet?”
“Although they are indeed very attractive, they aren’t garter stockings, deducting points.”
“This beautiful girl, stepping on me with a cold expression, is none other than Lou Ling.”
“Of course, I basically just call her Ling now. She, on the other hand, rarely directly calls me by my name, probably because she’s shy.”
“How long has it been, and you’re still so easily embarrassed? Well, that’s one of her good points too.”
“Stop rambling and get up to make breakfast.”
“…How can you say that… Generally, wouldn’t a wife prepare breakfast for her husband?”
“Who, who is your wife!”
“Only this tsundere, shy demeanor that you show no matter how much time passes, makes me unable to resist teasing you.”
“Me? Let this sweet and delicate wife of yours prepare a breakfast full of love for my beloved you~ Mwah~”
“Disgusting.”
Light Novel
“Ugh! Hey, hey! You’re really going to crush me!”
“Then hurry up and get up to make breakfast.”
“Okay, okay… Isn’t there any reward?”
“You want a reward?”
“Mhm, mhm.”
Ling narrowed her eyes, revealing a smile that sent a chill down my spine.
It seems I really shouldn’t be messing around anymore. If I continue, I’ll suffer the greatest pain a man can endure.
Ling is not the kind of woman to mess with casually. I’m not kidding, she will genuinely crush you without hesitation. This is based on experience, so don’t ask me what I’ve been through.
However, it’s probably too late to say this now. Since she’s already shown that unfriendly smile, I’m definitely doomed…
I closed my eyes and counted, “One, two, three, four, five.” The morning has begun with a painful start.
After waiting for a while, I didn’t feel the taste of that pain that only men know.
“…Open your eyes.”
What I saw when I opened my eyes was!
Ling, with a shy expression, flushed cheeks, and head slightly bowed, looked at me with teary eyes and said sweetly.
“Ahem– Dear, please wake up~”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
SF Light Novel
“This girl’s shy posture is truly magnificent.”
“It would be even better if you could stick out your tongue and make a meow pose.”
“If Master doesn’t wake up soon, I’ll have to go to work with an empty stomach, meow~”
“Oh, oh, oh! I’m dead!”
She actually did it!
I thought Ling would definitely kick me away!
Ahhh, today is truly a beautiful morning__
. Thanks for the meal.
I sincerely clasped my hands together and bowed to the cat-girl before me. No, I bowed to Lord Ling, who gave me such a benefit.
“Alright, go and make breakfast quickly!”
“Okay, I’ll go immediately. What do you want for breakfast today?”
“Whatever… Hmm.”
She seemed to want to say something more but forcefully stopped herself before she could say it out loud.
Seeing her increasingly flushed cheeks, I could probably guess what she was thinking: ‘Anything you make is fine.’
Heh, you’re so cute, Ling.
“Mhm, then I’ll make it while you watch.”
Although I wanted to tease Ling a bit more, time was running out. If I didn’t make breakfast soon, she really wouldn’t get to eat.

So, I got out of bed without hesitation, washed my face quickly, and went to the adjacent kitchen to cook without changing out of my pajamas.
The kitchen and bathroom are close to each other because the house we live in now isn’t very big.
No, rather than calling it a house, it’s more like a room.
It’s a 1LDK room, like a studio apartment. It’s just right for two people, but it might be a bit cramped for three.
Currently, Ling and I are living together.
Ah, don’t attack me yet. We’re not *that* kind of couple; we’re just cohabiting.
However, speaking of our relationship… it is indeed a bit ambiguous.
But if we say we’re girlfriend and boyfriend or a married couple, it doesn’t seem quite right. Ling has never considered herself my wife.
Well, in short, it’s this kind of peculiar relationship.
Interactions like this morning’s happen occasionally, like a wife pretending to be dead at home, entertaining ourselves in an endless daily life.
But in reality, both Ling and I are just acting like humans. No matter what we face now, our hearts remain unmoved.
After all, I don’t think even the most loving couples could be together for hundreds of billions of years.
There’s no separation by death for us; we’re destined to be together forever, that’s all.
I’m accustomed to Ling being by my side, and she’s the same. It’s just like this.
It will probably continue like this in the future.
This is also quite good.
Perhaps.
