　　"Nii-san, I'm done taking a shower. I already heated the water. You should also go to the bar."

　　The girl's crisp voice came from outside the door, giving off a sweet feeling in the hot summer, especially pleasant.

　　Zhou Fang in the bedroom didn't pay attention to her, and he squatted down with his head in his arms, frowning.

　　After absorbing the strange memories in his brain, he finally confirmed one thing – he really transmigrated into Asakawa Ryota.

　　And after transmigrating, it seemed something big had happened.

　　Today is August 20th.

　　Eight days ago, a gas explosion occurred at a dessert shop in Hamamatsucho, Tokyo, but no one was injured.

　　Because before the disaster, a customer shouted that he had predicted an explosion and everyone would die, and made seven people including the store manager run out of the store in terror.

　　So 8 people survived.

　　Ryouta is one of them.

　　It would be great if the incident ended perfectly here, but sadly...

　　Right at noon, the person who foresaw the disaster called out to him, saying that the six survivors had died in accidents one after another and that only two of them were still alive.

　　The strong feeling of déjà vu reminded Zhou Fang of a movie he had watched: The Grim Reaper was coming.

　　In the [Death is Coming] film series, the protagonist will foresee a disaster in advance, in order to help some people who should be suffering, avoid the disaster in advance and survive.

　　But the Grim Reaper would orchestrate various accidents afterwards, causing the survivors to tragically die one after another.

　　No one can escape being accused of death.

　　"Maybe just a coincidence, but the details match the movie..."

　　"No, too optimistic to think like that! Transmigration had occurred, so it wouldn't be surprising that there would be Grim Reapers. The ostrich mentality will kill people."

　　Zhou Fang or now Asakawa Ryota quickly caught on to the situation, feeling worried and confused.

　　He just took a nap in class, why did this happen after he woke up?

　　"Nii-san? Are you listening?"

　　At this time, the insistent voice of the girl outside the door sounded again.

　　Ryota was in the midst of worrying thoughts and wasn't in the mood to respond at all.

　　Then, the bedroom door was opened.

　　The sound of the door opening made Ryota look up, and he saw a beautiful girl with silver hair like an angel walking in.

　　According to a visual estimate, she was about 14 years old, with fair skin, a straight nose, and very clear blue eyes. Even though her face was still childish, it was enough to make people see that she was beautiful.

　　"What are you doing crouching on the ground with your head in your arms?"

　　The girl looked at Ryota suspiciously, and at the same time urged:

　　"Go take a shower... Wait! Are you okay? You look really bad!"

　　"This... my toe accidentally hit the table leg just now."

　　Ryota suppressed his depressed expression as much as possible, and answered in Japanese according to instinctive memory, so that the little sister would not see anything.

　　"I'll wipe it with iodophor for you."

　　The girl turned and walked towards the door.

　　"Wait a minute,"

　　Ryota stopped the girl and called her name:

　　"Kei, I'm fine, I'm much better now, don't bother me."

　　The girl's name is Shirogane Kei.

　　That's right, it's Shirogane Kei from [Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai].

　　Ryota didn't have much joy in his heart at the sight of 2D characters.

　　If this were the safe, everyday world, he might feel that way.

　　But now he was engulfed in dangerous memories in his mind, and all his thoughts were on the possibility of "death".

　　No time to care about other things at all.

　　"Is it really okay?" Kei looked suspiciously at Ryota's feet.

　　"It's just a small bump, it's okay if it hurts." Ryota tried his best to keep his tone calm: "You worry too much, Kei."

　　"...Hah? Who is worried about you!"

　　Unexpectedly, Kei's expression suddenly changed.

　　As if she were greatly stimulated, she showed cold eyes and cursed:

　　"Disgusting! Go to hell!"

　　The corners of Ryota's mouth twitched slightly.

　　But not surprising.

　　In the memories he inherited – Kei, 14 years old, was in a period of rebellion.

　　Due to being scolded excessively by Shirogane Miyuki like a child, her rebellious psychology is very strong. When she talks at home, she uses words like noisy, off, etc. When she lost her temper, she wouldn't even speak for three days straight.

　　Even though he, being a adoptive big brother, wasn't as fussy as Miyuki, he was able to carry on a normal conversation with Kei.

　　But as soon as the topic involved the matter of "Siscon", Kei would show the aggressiveness she was just now.

　　To ease the awkward atmosphere, Ryota changed the subject:

　　"By the way, Kei, when will Miyuki be back?"

　　"Nii-san just sent an email saying the store manager wants to treat him to dinner," Kei then replied, "He won't be back until at least two hours later."

　　"Let's talk about taking a bath when he gets back. I don't want to take a shower yet."

　　Ryota didn't really want to leave the bedroom.

　　If the events of death were true, then the best thing to do now would be to reduce activity.

　　"You want to take a shower?"

　　Kei looked at Ryota with strange eyes.

　　"...Yes." Ryota could only hold back and admit.

　　"No, I just heated it up for you, it can't be wasted."

　　As soon as the matter of extravagance was mentioned, Kei, the daughter of the hapless Shirogane family, instantly became tough.

　　"Go, hurry."

　　After she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, put on a stern expression and looked at Ryota.

　　Ryota thought he had been exposed, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

　　"Nii-san,"

　　The girl said in a slightly warning tone:

　　"Don't do weird things with my bathwater!"

　　Ryouta: "..."

　　…

　　Ryota is very confused about time travel.

　　He didn't get hit by a truck, didn't go on adventures, and actually transmigrated for no reason.

　　Three years ago, the father of this body died of illness, and before he died, he left him alone with his best friend,

　　So the three members of Shirogane's family moved into his house and formed a new family.

　　As for the mother of this body, she died earlier than his father.

　　Ryota has a very subtle feeling in his heart. He had a family before transmigrating, but after transmigrating, he became an orphan.

　　"Nii-san, just put a change of clothes in the basin."

　　"Understood."

　　Ryota was finally dragged out by Kei, and entered the bathroom while being pushed.

　　Of course, he still wouldn't take a shower, just preparing to pretend to deal with Kei.

　　In the movie [Death is Coming], the Grim Reaper could create a series of accidents, and finally set up a deadly situation to kill the survivors—as if he could manipulate the law of cause and effect.

　　For example, falling in the shower due to a slippery floor, and simply due to a posture problem, breaking your neck and dying on the spot – these kinds of things sound funny, but they are possible.

　　The possibility exists, and the Grim Reaper can make it happen.

　　How dare Ryota try!

　　While this may be a battle of wits with the air, it's always right to be careful.

　　"Change my clothes later, then wet my hair with water. Maybe it's okay."

　　Ryota decides in his mind how to pass the exam.

　　His nerves were tense the whole time, and he looked around non-stop.

　　At the same time, he also analyzed the current situation in his heart:

　　"On the day of the disaster, eight of our survivors were brought in to make records. Now six people have died one by one, but there has been no official response. Regardless of whether Grim Reapers exist or not, it is certain that they are unreliable, so I must try to save myself. '

　　"I vaguely remember that there seemed to be a way to escape the Grim Reaper in that movie, but I've watched it for too long, and my memory is very hazy, and I can't remember the details… Tsk! Seriously, why is this happening to me."

　　Thinking about it, Ryota actually got even angrier.

　　He sat at home, and disaster came from heaven.

　　Why did he transmigrate for no reason?

　　What's more, if he transmigrated into such a dangerous world, and didn't even give him a golden finger, wouldn't that just be passing by to die!

Accident——Suddenly, a beautiful golden light flashed before Ryota's eyes.

　　"This...!?"

　　When he was in a daze, that brilliance condensed into a somewhat illusory light screen before his eyes.

　　A large two-line font appears on a bright screen:

　　[Adventure Guild is looking forward to your joining, do you agree?]

　　[Yes / No]
