Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: What do you think? Should I change my style now that Ryougi Shiki has woken up?
Workaholic Gil: Your current style is excellent, blending seamlessly with the association.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: I have a feeling you’re mocking .
Workaholic Gil: You’re mistaken.
Coasting Through Life: Ah Heng, I’ve finished my paper. Have you completed yours?
He Who Knows Fate: I can finish anyti I want to.
Coasting Through Life: Tsk! It must be nice to do whatever you want using your Absolute Precognition, huh?
He Who Knows Fate: By the way, Qingtong, do you rember the bet we made?
Coasting Through Life: Erm…I can't recall. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
He Who Knows Fate: Shall I remind you?
Coasting Through Life: No need. Besides, I don’t want to know. Gambling is bad. We shouldn’t gamble; we should stay away from it.
He Who Knows Fate: I’m sure you rember. We bet on the college entrance exam questions.
Coasting Through Life: You’ve got so nerve, Ah Heng, using your Absolute Precognition to cheat and then betting with . I can’t believe you’d do such a thing.
Ti Witch: What’s going on?
Coasting Through Life: When we just started our re:life, our mories hadn’t fully returned, and we had yet to join the Re:Life Chat Group, Ah Heng had already acquired the Absolute Precognition. While tutoring , he said he had predicted five essay questions on the college entrance exams and told to morize them. Then we made a bet. For each correct prediction, I’d fulfill one of Ah Heng’s requests. For each incorrect one, he’d fulfill one of mine, with the requests offsetting each other.
Coasting Through Life: Out of the five questions, he “predicted” four correctly using the Absolute Precognition. That’s four requests, which still leaves three after offsetting.
He Who Knows Fate: You’re omitting a lot of information. Why not ntion why we bet in the first place? It was because you weren’t paying attention at all. I did this for your sake, didn’t I?
Coasting Through Life: If you truly care for , then just forget about this bet.
He Who Knows Fate: No way. It’s about ti you learned a lesson.
Coasting Through Life: Tsk!
Ti Witch: How about this? Mo Qingtong, do you want to cancel the bet?
Coasting Through Life: Yes, Ah Heng is clearly cheating!
Ti Witch: Then transfer the bet to .
Coasting Through Life: What are you up to? I feel like you’re scheming sothing.
Sitting in the examination room, Mo Qingtong furrowed her brows, sensing that the matter wasn’t that simple.
Ti Witch: On the condition that you give three Re:Life Chat Group world travel passes.
Coasting Through Life: If that’s all you want, fine. One request for one pass, I agree.
Relieved, Mo Qingtong thought, It’s just the world travel passes, after all. I haven’t really used them much.
Ti Witch: Those who renege are dogs.
Coasting Through Life: It’s a deal, no taking back. I’ll transfer the three passes to you later.
Ti Witch: Sure.
Coasting Through Life: Hehe! I don’t know what Luo Li wants with these world travel passes, but, Ah Heng, if you want to redeem your requests, seek Luo Li, not .
Ti Witch: Yes, Elder Brother Heng, co to for any requests.
He Who Knows Fate: …As long as you two are happy.
Queen of Ice and Snow: Oh, the poor child. Quite beautiful but possibly not too bright.
Coasting Through Life: You…what do you an?
Queen of Ice and Snow: …Haven’t you realized yet? Let love consultant Itsuka Kotori enlighten you.
Efreet: Ahem! It’s finally my turn. Mo Qingtong, use your tiny brain and think about it. Chen Heng can demand three favors from you. Is that a good or bad thing?
Coasting Through Life: Isn’t it a bad thing?
Efreet: Tsk! If it were soone you weren’t familiar with, having three unconditional requests would definitely be bad. What if they harbored ill intentions toward a beautiful young girl like you? However, considering how close you and Chen Heng are, is it really a bad thing? Put yourself in his shoes: if you had three requests of Chen Heng, what would you do?
Coasting Through Life: …
Efreet: Understand now?
Coasting Through Life: Erm…got it. Luo Li, give the favors back to .
Ti Witch: No.
Coasting Through Life: Give them back!
Ti Witch: No, a deal is a deal. Whoever reneges is a dog; that’s what you agreed to.
Coasting Through Life: …Woof.
Ti Witch: It’s futile. Unless you want to be known as soone who goes back on their word.
Coasting Through Life: Ah Heng
He Who Knows Fate: It’s no use coming to . Go negotiate with Little Li.
Hah…Qingtong is really…There are no words to describe her.
Chen Heng sighed, stood up, and handed in his answer sheet.
He Who Knows Fate: Qingtong, I’m heading to the hospital now. You don’t have to send Elder Sister Raven to pick up later.
Coasting Through Life: Got! it!

Chen Heng walked along the hospital’s corridor, holding lilies he had purchased from a flower shop. Then he searched for the room of his younger sister in na—Ryougi Shiki.
“Found it,” he murmured, looking at the 606 above head level on the door of the special care ward. Then he pushed the door open and entered.
The room accommodated only one person, Ryougi Shiki, who lay on the hospital bed. The setting sun cast a gentle glow on her.
Chen Heng approached and replaced the wilted roses on the bedside table with the fresh lilies he had brought.
He then settled into the bedside chair idly, leaning on his hand as he admired Ryougi Shiki’s exquisite face, now adorned with the warm hues of the sunset.
