Chapter 1
"I never thought I'd meet you again… this must be fate!"
Ye Yu gently wrapped his arms around Ichika in front of him, feeling the softness of her body.
A ripple stirred in his heart.
Hearing Ye Yu's words, Ichika's originally tense, delicate frame finally relaxed.
Her whole body melted bonelessly against him.
She murmured softly:
"I'm really happy to see you again too!"
Ye Yu's lips curved into a slightly mysterious smile.
Ichika's full name was Nakano Ichika.
She was the eldest sister of the quintuplets from the anime The Quintessential Quintuplets.
Ye Yu had originally been an ordinary office worker on Blue Star. But then a massive cataclysm struck, and the world fell into apocalypse.
Ye Yu awakened a powerful Devouring Ability.
Relying on this power, he climbed step by step to the absolute peak of strength.
Then one day he woke up… and found himself in this world.
His name was still Ye Yu, now 20 years old, a second-year literature student at Nerima University.
He only regained his memories one month ago.
This world was similar to Blue Star.
But here there were no zombies, no mutated beasts, no hellish environments.
There was electricity, internet, smartphones, computers, and countless delicious foods!
To Ye Yu, this place was simply paradise!
And most importantly—he had somehow brought his abilities with him.
In a peaceful world, he was basically invincible!
While Ye Yu was still reveling in his new paradise, a light knock sounded at the door.
A stunningly beautiful short-haired girl stood shyly at the entrance.
He swore—this was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen!
Pink short hair, sapphire-like eyes!
That impossibly refined, snow-white face made this old pervert's heart pound with just one glance!
With his Level 5 ability, he naturally never lacked women in the apocalypse.
But in that world where everyone struggled just to survive, strength was everything.
Appearance was the least valued thing!
Plus, constantly eating polluted food, breathing toxic air, drinking water with extremely complex poisons— if not for the superhuman physiques of ability users, they would've died long ago.
Under such harsh conditions, how much original beauty could even remain?
Ye Yu enthusiastically asked the girl what she needed.
She told him she was the new neighbor and asked if the clutter at the door belonged to him.
During their casual chat, Ye Yu learned her name was Nakano Ichika, a first-year at Musashi University.
The name "Nakano Ichika" was like a key.
It instantly unlocked his long-sealed memories.
As a Level 5 ability user, his mental power was immense.
All his previous memories were perfectly stored in his brain.
After finishing the conversation, he used the super-hearing he gained from Devouring.
He eavesdropped on the next door.
Then names like Nino, Miku, Yotsuba entered his ears.
He finally confirmed—he had transmigrated into the world of The Quintessential Quintuplets.
For some reason, though, the quintuplets had already entered university.
But the charm of the five sisters… it really was irresistible, wasn't it?
To win Nakano Ichika's heart, Ye Yu first used "chance encounters" and "hero saves beauty" to become friends with Ichika.
Then he frequently asked her out, and their relationship grew closer.
Today, Ye Yu invited Ichika to his home, saying he wanted to show her a precious item from his collection.
With his spatial ability, Ye Yu had his own personal space.
Though it mostly contained various foods and some weapons he had obtained.
Precious metals and jewelry were very few!
In the apocalypse, food and weapons were the most valuable!
What he showed Ichika was a particularly precious necklace from his collection.
While she was successfully captivated, he began telling the story of meeting an adorable girl when he was little.
How they played cards together.
Then he directly confessed—he recognized Ichika as that very girl.
Yes—Ye Yu had simply taken Fuutarou's experiences with Ichika for himself.
That was how the previous scene came to be.
As for whether his behavior was shameless?
Ye Yu thought: as someone who survived crawling out of the apocalypse, having no perversions in his heart was already pretty good.
Just identity theft—his conscience wouldn't even twitch.
"Ye Yu… can you let me go now?"
Ichika's face was flushed. This was her first time being so close to a man.
Right now she felt her face burning, her whole body trembling—whether from shyness or excitement, she couldn't tell.
But strangely… she didn't dislike this feeling.
Ever since Ye Yu saved her, she had developed a favorable impression of him.
Plus, Ye Yu was not only handsome, but strangely compatible with her.
Every move he made deeply attracted her.
But deep in her heart, there had always been the shadow of that little boy from childhood.
So today, when she learned Ye Yu was that very boy, the figure in her memory suddenly overlapped perfectly with the man in front of her!
She truly felt—she had fallen for this man.
Hearing Ichika's heavy breathing, Ye Yu felt his desire could no longer be suppressed.
He gently supported her slender waist and pressed his lips to hers.
Ichika's mind went completely blank, as if it had exploded.
Her whole body stiffened, letting Ye Yu do whatever he wanted…
Morning.
Ye Yu stretched lazily with satisfaction.
Feeling the softness on his arm, he turned and gently kissed Ichika's face.
He really loved this world too much!
Ichika murmured sleepily, then slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Ye Yu's mischievous grin and remembering his wildness last night, she felt both shy and annoyed. She viciously pinched his waist.
"I have to go back. Today is the first day of school. I wonder if they noticed I didn't come home all night."
As she spoke, Ichika tried to get up, but felt a sharp pain throughout her body.
Hiss…
