Chapter 2: I really didn't want to transmigrate

Shibuya at night.

Natsume Chikage, having just finished his part-time job at a coffee shop, walked along the main street. Looking at the neon-lit streets, he slowly recalled the past.

One day, after touching a golden glowing orb, he discovered he had transmigrated in the flesh to Tokyo, Japan, in a parallel world, displacing a boy who had committed suicide and gaining that person's memories and identity.

Because of this, in the eyes of others, he was called Natsume Chikage.

In this world, his predecessor came from a single-parent family, but the household was very wealthy.

However, good times didn't last; the IT company his father ran suddenly went bankrupt, leading his father to die of depression, leaving only the predecessor and his younger sister alive in the world.

It's ironic, really.

The relatives who used to visit frequently were now as cold as they were once enthusiastic.

These relatives were even worried that their family might still have debts after the bankruptcy, so even if they ran into the two of them on the street, they would immediately take a detour.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Coupled with the sudden passing of his father, the predecessor, who was already timid by nature, couldn't handle such a massive shock and chose to "restart."

Then, he transmigrated here.

"I really didn't want to transmigrate..." Natsume Chikage sighed softly.

Before transmigrating, he had a degree from a top-tier university and was actually doing quite well after entering society.

Now, after transmigrating, it had suddenly become "hell mode," and he was completely at a loss.

Fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

After his transmigration, it wasn't all bad.

One must know that even the wealthiest person in the world cannot achieve rejuvenation.

Yet his body had actually become much younger after the transmigration.

As for the other thing—he closed his eyes slightly, and the mysterious orb he had touched before transmigrating instantly appeared in his mind.

With a thought from him.

The orb transformed into an illusory panel.

【Character: Chikage】

【Strength: 4】 (Average attribute for a normal adult is 5)

【Agility: 4】

【Spirit: 5】

【Constitution: 5】

【Charm: 9】

【Equipment: None】

【Distance to next attribute point reward: 3 items of equipment remaining!】

According to the panel, it seemed that as long as he collected more of these special items, he could gain attribute points to strengthen himself.

But where should he look for this equipment?

Natsume Chikage was a bit puzzled.

Just as he was deep in thought.

A refreshing night breeze blew past, lifting his hair and revealing Natsume Chikage's handsome and refined face.

This scene caused many girls on the roadside to steal glances, some even wanting to come up and strike up a conversation.

But before they could, they found someone had already beaten them to it.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, a girl wearing a loose top with wheat-colored skin and full of energy, was running briskly in front of Natsume Chikage.

The chain of her crossbody bag outlined a slightly slender curve on her chest, and the denim shorts she wore made her calves look exceptionally good.

She stopped in front of Natsume Chikage, the fabric on her chest rising and falling gently with her breathing.

"Natsume-kun, why are you walking so fast?"

Natsume Chikage looked up and realized it was an acquaintance, Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, who was an employee at the same coffee shop as him.

"Fujiwara-san, is something the matter?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's gaze flickered, looking a bit shy:

"I got off work a bit early today, you haven't had dinner yet, right?"

"I know a good place nearby, if you don't have anything else special to do... how about we go eat together?"

Natsume Chikage remembered that the supermarket had a sale today, and his younger sister had said she wanted to go shopping with him.

Thinking of this, he wanted to refuse.

However, at that moment.

He suddenly felt his arm being hugged.

Natsume Chikage turned his head, his gaze falling on a petite and cute figure.

Her soft, smooth long hair was meticulously trimmed into neat bangs, making her small, exquisite oval face look particularly adorable.

She was wearing a pale goose-yellow dress, the fresh and elegant color making her skin look like snow, like a flower bud just blooming in spring.

Natsume Ruri was looking at Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui with a wary expression.

"Who are you?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui didn't know what she was thinking, but her face instantly turned pale:

"Natsume-kun, could this be your girlfriend?"

Natsume Chikage couldn't help but laugh or cry:

"She is my younger sister!"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's face lit up with joy, and she apologized repeatedly:

"I'm so sorry, so she is your sister."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood!"

Natsume Ruri puffed out her little cheeks slightly, looking a bit unhappy:

"Big brother, who is this person?"

Natsume Chikage introduced her:

"She is my colleague at the coffee shop."

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui looked at the petite and cute Natsume Ruri, her eyes sparkling with brilliance, wanting to go up and hug this cute girl.

But thinking that this was her first time meeting Natsume Chikage's biological sister and she didn't want to leave a bad impression, she suppressed the urge.

She gave an energetic smile and introduced herself:

"Nice to meet you, I'm Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui!"

Natsume Ruri had actually thought at first that this girl was like the others, trying to hit on her brother, but looking at it now, had she gotten it wrong? ===== CHAPTER 3 =====
