Chapter 149: In the Next Life, Please Let Me Be a Handsome Guy in Tokyo!

Chapter 149: In the Next Life, Please Let Me Be a Handsome Guy in Tokyo!

A small and cramped town, with a bus only once every two hours.

There are no coffee shops, no dental clinics, nothing at all.

But there are three izakaya bars.

Living in such a town might be a good choice for middle-aged or elderly people.

But for a girl in her youth, it's hard not to feel discouraged.

"In the next life, please let me be a handsome guy in Tokyo!"

At sunset, atop a mountain, Miyamizu Mitsuha shouted to the sky while walking with her two best friends.

Teshigawara and Natori Sayaka exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

Today was the day Miyamizu Mitsuha had to perform the prayer ritual as the Miko of Miyamizu Shrine.

On the high platform of the shrine at night, she wore the Miko outfit and danced gracefully.

Her dance was beautiful, after all, she had been practicing since she was little.

But performing in front of so many people from the town still made her feel incredibly embarrassed.

After all, Miyamizu Mitsuha was just a teenage girl.

Especially with her classmates below in the courtyard.

Her desire to go to Tokyo grew even stronger.

And then, as the night passed—

Thud!

Miyamizu Mitsuha hugged her small head, feeling a little confused.

Where did I just fall from?

But when she opened her eyes—

"Ehh?"

Looking up at the unfamiliar ceiling, Miyamizu Mitsuha was stunned.

Unlike the wooden ceiling of the Miyamizu house.

Before her was a lavishly decorated ceiling, with a magnificent chandelier hanging above.

She sat up.

Miyamizu Mitsuha realized she was lying on a clean wooden floor.

Right beside her was a large, pure white bed.

No time to think much.

By the time she regained her senses—

She had rolled over and over on that bed.

Completely different from the futon at home.

This bed was as soft as a giant cloud.

Lying down gave the feeling of sinking into a pile of fluffy white cotton candy.

Miyamizu Mitsuha thought that if she slept on this bed every day—

She would definitely never wake up early in the morning.

She'd probably be late for school all the time.

It can't be helped, right?

So soft, so smooth, and it also had a pleasant scent.

She wanted to be killed by this bed!

Rolling over a few more times, Miyamizu Mitsuha finally reluctantly stopped.

She sat up and looked around the unfamiliar room.

The layout was completely different from her own room.

Moreover, everything in sight was incredibly expensive-looking furniture.

But what caught Miyamizu Mitsuha's attention the most was the window.

More specifically, the view outside the window.

No sign of any mountains.

Instead, there were tightly packed skyscrapers and clean, paved streets.

Farther away, the Tokyo Tower stood tall in the scene, piercing straight into the clouds.

Miyamizu Mitsuha pressed herself against the window, staring at the view in a daze.

"Ah! It's Tokyo!" she exclaimed softly, excited.

But right after that, she immediately took a deep breath: "I must stay calm! I absolutely must stay calm! This must be a dream! I can't get so excited that I wake up right away!"

Looking at the Tokyo Tower, Miyamizu Mitsuha's eyes shone brightly: "If I wake up right now, I'll regret it for the whole year!"

By instinct, she reached out to search for her phone, intending to take a picture.

But instead, she touched empty space.

Miyamizu Mitsuha then realized, maybe in dreams, there wouldn't be sophisticated things like mobile phones.

But just as that thought crossed her mind—

Her gaze swept over to the bedside table.

On it was a black smartphone.

She quickly walked over and picked it up.

Miyamizu Mitsuha was a bit excited.

"Wow, this is amazing! I've only used flip phones before!"

"I wonder if I can turn it on? Wow, it really works! So cool!"

She turned the screen on.

Miyamizu Mitsuha happily jumped up and down.

Displayed on the screen was a group photo as the wallpaper.

A teenage boy with sharp eyebrows and three extremely beautiful girls appeared in the photo.

Miyamizu Mitsuha's gaze was immediately drawn to the young man.

In the photo, the corners of his mouth carried a mischievous smile as he tapped the forehead of a blonde girl.

It seemed he had successfully teased her.

Miyamizu Mitsuha stared for a long time.

Then, she finally unlocked the phone.

What appeared before her were a series of unfamiliar apps.

At first, she planned to immediately go out and visit Tokyo Tower.

But now, her attention was captured by the smartphone, one she had only heard about before.

Amidst the pile of unfamiliar apps—

Miyamizu Mitsuha found something familiar.

She opened Line.

A list of contacts appeared.

Miyamizu Mitsuha tried clicking on one of the chat windows.

Azuma: [Hello There!]

Mafuyu: [What's up?]

Azuma: [Can you send me a picture of you?]

Mafuyu: [Huh? A picture? What kind of picture?]

Azuma: [Cute, beautiful, any type is fine, as long as it's a picture of Mafuyu.]

There was no reply from the other side for a while.

Next to the display name, the words "typing..." kept appearing.

Miyamizu Mitsuha waited for a while, feeling stuck.

After all, this was a dream; not knowing the person's face and not being able to dream it up made sense.

She closed Line and continued browsing through other apps.

"Is this a game? There's even a map... Oh, this app lets you buy things."

She opened Amazon, and Miyamizu Mitsuha felt like she had entered a new world.

A variety of items appeared before her.

She casually clicked on one of the suggested products.

Wacom Intuos Pro drawing tablet, priced at 573,000 yen.

Seeing the exaggerated number, Miyamizu Mitsuha swallowed.

She clicked the purchase button.

The payment interface appeared.

She selected the fingerprint payment method.

Then placed her finger on the screen.

The payment circle spun once—

Ding-dong—

Along with the reminder sound, the payment confirmation page appeared.

A message popped up from her bank, showing a deduction from her account.

Looking at the long account balance, which resembled a phone number in the message—

Miyamizu Mitsuha was completely sure: This was indeed a dream.

So—

BUY IT ALL!

Alienware laptop?

Buy!

High-end gemstone earrings?

Buy!

Curse Chef Patreon?

Buy!

3090 Ti graphics card?

Huh, what's this used for?

Forget it, who cares, just buy it!

Miyamizu Mitsuha wildly spent money, regardless of whether she needed it, not even knowing what it was.

After all, with the balance in the message, even if she picked all the expensive items—

She could buy for the whole day and still not run out.

Moreover, this was a dream, who cares! As long as she's happy!

After scanning and buying a bunch of things—

Miyamizu Mitsuha sighed in satisfaction and turned off the phone.

"Let's go out! A dream as real as this, I might never experience it again in my life!"

"I have to hurry and stroll around Tokyo! There are so many places I want to go!"

"Tokyo Tower, Sky Library, Ginza, Meiji Shrine, Sensouji Temple!"

Miyamizu Mitsuha murmured to herself as she walked out of the room, quickly heading towards the entrance.

But just as she took a few steps—

A voice called from behind.

"Lonely-kun, going for a morning jog?"

Miyamizu Mitsuha turned around in surprise.

Before her—

Was a beautiful girl with long black hair, wearing a nightgown and tights, so stunning it was hard to believe.

Her appearance was truly awe-inspiring.

Even though Miyamizu Mitsuha was a girl, she couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

"Lonely-kun?"

The long-haired girl didn't receive a response and showed a puzzled expression.

Miyamizu Mitsuha then snapped back to reality:

"Oh, right!"

Seeing her reaction—

The long-haired girl became even more suspicious and even stepped closer.

Miyamizu Mitsuha felt a bit panicked.

Her first instinct was—Nigerundayo!

She quickly said, "I'm going out!" and immediately rushed out the door.

Leaving behind the long-haired girl and two cats who poked their heads out, both looking confused.

...

Stepping out of the house, Miyamizu Mitsuha looked around at the unfamiliar street and the tall buildings in the distance.

She took a deep breath—

Tokyo! This is Tokyo!

Then, she thought about the long-haired girl from earlier.

She was one of the three girls in the wallpaper photo.

She called her "Lonely-kun."

Although she wasn't sure about "Lonely," the "-kun"—

In her eyes, she thought she was a boy!?

Thinking about it, Miyamizu Mitsuha immediately understood.

This dream had set her up as the handsome young man in the photo with three beautiful girls!

"Tokyo's Prince Charming! This dream setup is so perfect, it's incredible! Sasuga Watashi!"

Miyamizu Mitsuha felt an overwhelming sense of pride.

Without delay, she ran down the street.

There were so many places she wanted to go—

But as soon as she stepped onto the road, she was mesmerized by the scenery.

It was completely different from the small town she was from.

Just walking down the street—

Miyamizu Mitsuha felt a rush of excitement.

At first, she planned to take the train to Tokyo Tower.

But halfway there—

She was distracted by a large café by the side of the street.

"Wow, a café!"

She felt like her dreams were coming true.

Before, she had always wanted to go to a café with her friends in the small town—

Why not experience it here, in this dream?

—She pushed the door open.

The sound of a violin playing softly filled the air.

Miyamizu Mitsuha saw a lady in a ball gown—

Sitting on a raised platform at the corner of the café, playing a familiar soft melody.

"Welcome, may I ask how many people?"

A waiter in a vest approached and asked politely.

"O-one person."

Miyamizu Mitsuha was stunned by the luxurious atmosphere of the café.

"Right this way, please, watch your step."

Led by the waiter, she sat at a table for one.

A menu was handed to her—

It looked no different than a luxurious book.

Turning a few pages—

The sweets and drinks inside were exquisitely designed.

She wanted to try every dish!

Finally, Miyamizu Mitsuha ordered a small piece of cake and a green grape parfait.

Soon after—

Two desserts so beautiful that she almost didn't want to eat them were brought to her table.

She immediately pulled out her phone and snapped several pictures.

Then, after hesitating for a moment—

She finally picked up a spoon and, with a bit of guilt, scooped up a spoonful of parfait.

The moment the cold cream and fresh green grapes melted in her mouth—

All feelings of guilt disappeared!

"So delicious!"

The corners of Miyamizu Mitsuha's mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

She continued to eat a few more bites—

Suddenly, she realized there were many eyes on her.

This made her feel somewhat puzzled.

Was there a bug?

If this were real life, being stared at like this—

Miyamizu Mitsuha would surely lower her head and shy away.

But now—

This is a dream!

Of course, there was no need for self-consciousness.

Finally, under the curious gazes of Miyamizu Mitsuha—

Two girls from a nearby table walked up to her.

"Excuse me... Can I add you on Line?"

The girl in front, looking quite cute, shyly asked.

She held out her phone, ready to scan her QR code.

Miyamizu Mitsuha instantly snapped back to reality.

Oh, right! I'm Tokyo's Prince Charming now!

She quickly pulled out her phone and opened her QR code.

The two girls successfully added her and jumped with joy.

Miyamizu Mitsuha was still a little stunned.

Am I really so handsome in this dream?

Is it really that exciting just to exchange contacts?

But thinking back to the group photo she saw—

It made sense.

Just then—

"Hello, I'm Smithy A. Hasaka, can I add you on Line?"
