458 Wake up

"Why has everything become like this?"

Tsukasa knew that he hadn't woken up. Instead, he was in a different space or conscious. He wasn't sure how to describe his feelings, but he was just absentmindedly watching the scenery before him.

The sea was all that he could see.

It was a gloomy sea with calm waves which were moving gently, yet if someone looked down on it, they would feel regret since they might drown when they entered it.

The sky was gray as if it had lost its color.

The sand was also gray, making him feel like he was inside an old movie.

He sat on the sand while looking at the sea, sand, and the sky without moving. He wasn't sure how long he had been sitting, but he had been thinking about his life.

Honestly, his life was fairly normal.

He wasn't that rich, but he didn't lack anything since he often got a gift from the girls and worked a part-time job. His only family was his grandma, but after she passed away, he felt he had gone downhill.

His life turned gray.

Only his grandma told him to search for someone to be by his side since it was lonely to live by himself.

However, it was hard for him to do so.

His experience with women made it impossible for him to see one person as special.

After all, a lover was different from a family.

It was possible for a lover to break up, but it was impossible for one to erase the connection through blood.

In the end, he made many lovers, trying to see which one was more special than the others. By then, he would be able to find his special one.

However, he couldn't, and he felt they were all special.

Unfortunately, his deeds were known, and the love they had quickly flipped into anger and hate. Partly, it was also his fault since he didn't intend to clarify what he had done. Instead, he was running away, and it caused their anger to intensify, killing him.

The feeling of death wasn't something that he wanted to feel anymore.

When he reincarnated, he didn't want to die and worked harder, so he could stay alive.

However, the same problem came to him once again.

Still, he could solve this problem and had become stronger.

His women had a harmonious relationship with each other, and they accepted each other.

However, he realized one thing, and that was the fact he had never changed.

Even if he had become stronger and no one could kill him in his original world, he was still unable to fill the void in his heart.

If something changed, it was the fact he might be more eloquent than he was before.

Honestly, even if he wasn't strong enough, as long as he could seduce them, he knew they would accept his relationship with other women.

However, it didn't mean his desire to become stronger was useless since if he wasn't stronger, he might have been killed by Nene already.

Strength was necessary, especially when he was living in a dangerous place.

Yet, he wasn't in a hurry and could do it at his own pace.

Nothing changed, and he just lived like before.

Yet if in his previous world, he wanted to become rich, in this world, he wanted to become stronger.

Nothing about him has changed.

Even if he was reincarnated, he realized nothing.

However, when he saw Line dying at that time, it made him unable to think straight. His head was in a mess, and he just couldn't do anything. Yet he forced himself to calm down since he wanted to save her. He didn't want to lose her and even cut his arm, so he could save her.

It surprised him that he could do something unthinkable without hesitation, especially when he cut down his left arm with a sword, so his healing factor couldn't work.

"I lost control there."

Tsukasa sighed, but he didn't regret his choice since he might do the same.

Losing an arm wasn't something painful for him.

It might be the past, but he wasn't now.

Still, he wondered why he was in this place.

The fact that he didn't change was good. Instead, he could make all of them happy now.

"Why am I hesitating?"

Shishio knew it was time for him to get out of this place.

His goal didn't change.

What he needed to do was to get stronger and live life without regret.

Of course, he would also treat his women better, and he couldn't die since he had many things to do.

He opened his eyes slightly and saw that he was in an unfamiliar room.

"...Where is this?"

His voice was quiet and soft, but it made the entire space turn still.

While his body was slightly stiff, he turned his head and saw that there were few people there.

"Tsukasa!"

Riveria hugged him without hesitation while crying.

He didn't fight back and just lay on the bed. "...Don't be too rough. I have just woken up."

However, Riveria didn't listen to him and kept hugging him.

He sighed and patted her back gently. He only had one arm now, so he could only use his right arm to pat her. Besides Riveria, he also noticed the other girls.

The most noticeable one was Line, who had also woken up. She was also crying, but she still stood in her place.

Tiona and Ais were there, but they were in shock and couldn't believe what they had seen.

"...Don't leave me." Riveria choked and didn't let him go. Her eyes were brimming with tears, wetting his shirt.

"I won't. I am not dying. Don't say something like that." While he would be lying if he wasn't happy about her concern, her words made him feel like he was dying.

'Is it okay for you to do this? Ais is here, you know?' He whispered.

"I don't care now."

Watching him not wake up for so long made her realize how stupid she was. She wanted him and didn't want him to disappear. Whether Ais or others were there, she didn't care about it anymore and just wanted him.

"...Next time, don't do something so stupid."

"I can't promise that."

Riveria looked up and glared at him with teary eyes.

"But I am sure that I won't die."

"...Promise me."

"How?"

'Let's have a child.' Riveria moved her lips before she kissed his lips.

"........" Tsukasa.
