章節 18: The Loop
And so, here he was. Ended up as another womanizer in this reality. He got second chance, but still he has similar fate? Even though with different reason now, but still he could only cry in his heart.
How many girls have he dated? Since dating the school idol that lasted for a week, he kept on changing girls. It's not that he wanted to hurt them. No. He even treated them nicely with utmost respect. It could be said that he is quite a good boyfriend, even though only for a week period.
He never did anything that make the girls felt uncomfortable and never took advantages of them. The most physical touch that he has done only hugging a girl who was in a breakdown due to the lost of her cat.
Yes, she lost her cat and crying for days. He won't judge her. However, it made him difficult to broke up when it reached the one week due date. But still, he ended their relationship.
Some maybe called him heartless. However, he just felt that those girls were not the one. He just couldn't feel anything when he was with them.
And about Alden, well.. they were still close. Or were they?
It just, Rei spent less and less time hanging with him, since he should entertain his ever changing girlfriends.
They would occasionally met at home in the morning or in the evening, but that's all.
Rei sometimes saw a hurt gaze directed to him. But Rei forcefully ignored it.
This condition happened until they ended the second year of junior high. During the after examination long holidays, around 2 weeks before the entered the third year of junior high, Rei just remembered something important.
These days he was busy running about to hide his feeling. However, he forgot the utmost important thing.
Alden will die in his 17th birthday!
He gritted his teeth and barged into Alden's room.
Alden who was lying on his bed with headphone on his head turned toward the door to see the intruder.
Rei with long steps approached the bed.
"You! You should stick with me from now on!" Rei said while pointing his index finger towards Alden.
Alden stared at Rei with confused face. He got up and removed his headphone.
"And your girls?" Alden asked incredulously.
"I've broke up with all of them. So now, you should stick with me no matter what! Especially in your 17th birthday!" Rei tried to make his point clear.
Alden just shook his head.
"Sometimes you make a really unreasonable demand"
"It's not unreasonable. It just.." Rei shut his mouth. He couldn't explain the System without looked like a crazy boy.
"It just?"
"It.. It's a command. No question."
With that, Rei stormed out of the room, leaving Alden that stared at Rei's back.
Slowly, a smirk appeared on Alden's face.
++++
He slammed his door and thinking hard.
Just what kind of death would come to them who cannot complete the task or died in the system?
'That damn old man should have been died in jail for sure.' he cursed.
'But, what about Alden? When and how would he die? What should he do to avoid the death? There should be something, right?'
Like, if he didn't see it by himself, he wouldn't believe if someone said that they could travel back to the time and change their past. However, Rei has done it. And the impact also changed his future. In this reality, he won't be lying in comatose, since he can avoid the incident with Alden's father. However, as the replacement, Alden would die.
'What if I got back to the system and let Alden win so that he wouldn't die?'
He pacing in his room.
But then, Rei would die in Alden's stead. Because what he could conclude from the System was there's only one winner.
Even if Rei is ready to die for Alden, he still got another problem.
'How to get to the System. Where is the system anyway?'
He just recalled the first time he met the System was when he got to the club with some girls that he forgot the names now. Maybe because of the noises in the club, or his illness just already too severe, he just collapsed there.
He didn't remember how, but when he awakened, the System was in front of him, with his body lying helplessly on a bed. He then realized that he was dying.
At that time, he thought that maybe the System just a dream before he died. He was going to die, anyway. So, why don't have the last fun?
In addition, the System also bribed him with many beauties that were waiting for him. With that in mind, he agreed to the System.
Rei laughed bitterly.
"What a liar!"
Now, the matter became complicated. He sure didn't want to lost Alden. Not in this reality, or any others.
Rei clenched his fist.
'Damn, you System! Show yourself now!'
