Chapter Summaries

Ichika wondered whether Su Yang liked her, but he said he wanted her to play May as a substitute. She followed him into the forest, where she sprained her ankle, and Su Yang began examining it.

• Su Yang asked Ichika whether she hated him, then said he wanted her to play May because she looked like her.
• Ichika agreed to make Su Yang like her and followed him into the quiet forest.
• Su Yang said they had less than thirty minutes before the time reset and the orienteering event began.
• Ichika stepped on a branch and hurt her left ankle, so Su Yang helped her sit on a tree stump.
• Su Yang removed Ichika's sock and found a red patch around her ankle, while Ichika apologized for causing trouble.

Su Yang's attempt to spend the final half hour with Ichika was interrupted, and time reset to before the students left for Forest School. He realized the rewind had taken him back even earlier than before, leaving him frustrated by the failed attempts.

• Su Yang told Ichika there would be no chance after the half hour ended and offered to carry her back to the infirmary.
• Ichika offered Su Yang a down payment, and she began an intimate encounter with him.
• Su Yang heard footsteps and saw Chika run away, then felt pain when he tried to move.
• A black curtain appeared, and Su Yang heard a teacher report the student and teacher assignments for the Forest School buses.
• Su Yang realized time had reset to before departure, half an hour earlier than in the previous rewind, and reflected on how his earlier attempts had gone wrong.

Su Yang questioned the students at Forest School A to find someone who had experienced November 12th more than once, but none had. He learned that Koga from Year Two, Class E, had unexpectedly withdrawn due to illness, making her absence a possible clue.

• Su Yang told Ichinose Honami to gather the students and asked them how many times they had lived through November 12th.
• The students from Forest School A had all experienced the date only once, so Su Yang concluded the time-resetter was at Forest School B.
• Fujiwara Chika reported that one Year Two, Class E student had withdrawn because of a sudden stomachache.
• Su Yang learned that the absent student was Koga from Year Two, Class E, and noted that no one had withdrawn during the previous loops.

Su Yang arranged the forest school assignments and said he would visit Forest School after going home, while Koga dealt with Maeda’s confession and the threat it posed to her social circle. After rewinding time for a third time, Koga decided to buy lottery tickets.

• Su Yang assigned Chika and Kaguya to Forest School A, Yukinoshita and Ichinose to Forest School B, and told Chika to manage things while he went to find a truant student.
• Koga recalled that Maeda had confessed to her despite barely knowing her, risking her friendship with Matsushita Chiaki and her place in their social circle.
• Koga considered avoiding Maeda and using the rewind to do something beneficial for herself.
• Koga asked a lottery shop owner to randomly choose a set of Shuang Se Qiu numbers for her.

Su Yang found Koga repeating November 12th and explained that the time reset was a supernatural phenomenon caused by something troubling her. Koga revealed that she was afraid of Maeda-senior asking her to answer his confession, leaving Su Yang aware of the social dilemma she faced.

• Su Yang caught Koga trying to use the time loop to buy winning lottery tickets and confronted her about repeating November 12th.
• Koga admitted that November 12th had repeated three times and said the phenomenon frightened her.
• Su Yang brought Koga to a milk tea shop and suggested that her worry was causing the time reset.
• Koga explained that she feared Maeda-senior would ask for her answer to his confession that afternoon.
• Koga said rejecting Maeda could anger Matsushita, while accepting him would make her seem to have stolen a friend's crush.

Su Yang confirmed that Koga caused the time resets and completed a sign-in mission by holding her left hand for ten minutes. He gained an instant movement technique and teleported himself and Koga to his room.

• Koga explained that the rewind had started earlier after Maeda tried to confess to her again.
• Su Yang concluded that Koga could reset the world, while Mai-senpai only made herself disappear.
• A sign-in mission appeared for Koga's left hand, and Su Yang asked Koga to hold his right hand for ten minutes.
• Su Yang completed the mission and received an instant movement technique that worked three times per day.
• Su Yang used the technique to teleport himself and Koga to his room, where a maid saw them.

Su Yang returned home using Instant Movement and introduced Koga Tomoe to his sword spirit, Tsuyu. Koga explained that she hid her Kansai dialect because she feared it would make it harder to fit in at Shuchiin High.

• Su Yang tested Instant Movement and returned home, where Tsuyu complained that he had left her behind.
• Su Yang admitted he had not come home because he was worried Tsuyu would be bored.
• Koga Tomoe saw Tsuyu’s spirit, and Su Yang introduced the two of them.
• Koga explained that she had transferred to Shuchiin High midway through the year and deliberately changed her Kansai speech to avoid seeming like a country bumpkin.

Su Yang learned that Koga’s time loop stemmed from her fear that Maeda’s confession would damage her place in her social group. He began discussing how to resolve the problem, while Tsuyu complained that Su Yang had not brought her along during his earlier loops.

• Koga explained that she had tried to fit in by changing how she dressed, acted, and spoke after seeing others mocked for their Kansai dialect.
• Su Yang told Koga and Tsuyu that November 12th had repeated three times, prompting Tsuyu to complain that he had left her behind.
• Su Yang comforted Tsuyu and asked Koga who had confessed to her, learning that it was Maeda Kita, whose twin brother was Maeda Minami.
• Su Yang realized that Koga’s fear of losing her place in Matsushita’s group had caused her to prevent Maeda’s confession from reaching an outcome.
• Koga said she felt like an outsider and believed she had joined the group only by agreeing with the others.

Su Yang offered to help Koga with her strained friend group in exchange for her using Time Rewind to help him pursue Fujiwara Chika and later erase their relationship. He also offered Koga a large check instead of relying on lottery winnings, and she began counting its zeros.

• Koga explained that she stayed with her superficial friend group because she feared being excluded and eating or going places alone.
• Koga said Matsushita led the group and claimed to like Maeda, but seemed to treat that interest as a way to build her own image.
• Su Yang agreed to help Koga, asking her to use Time Rewind so he could pursue Fujiwara Chika and then avoid taking responsibility for the relationship.
• Tsuyu called Su Yang a scumbag and accused him of abandoning his adorable sword spirit at home.
• Su Yang discouraged Koga from using Time Rewind to buy lottery tickets and gave her a check, which she struggled to read because she was nearsighted.

Su Yang paid Koga Tomoe half of her uncle’s fortune and recruited her to help him get close to Fujiwara Chika at Forest School. The group prepared to leave, but Koga first asked to deposit the money.

• Su Yang showed Koga Tomoe the check and offered to take her to Forest School A as Fujiwara Chika’s roommate.
• Koga accepted the offer after learning Su Yang had moved both Maedas to Forest School B and that she could make new friends.
• Su Yang said he would take Koga to Forest School, and Tsuyu insisted on joining them to visit the hot springs.
• Koga grabbed Su Yang’s hand and asked him to take her to deposit the money before they left.

Su Yang split Koga’s billion-yen reward among several banks, then took her and Tsuyumaru to Forest School before the others arrived. He told Koga that Shinomiya Kaguya had also become supernatural and warned her she might meet Little Kaguya.

• Su Yang divided Koga’s money among Wagatsuma Bank and several other banks, leaving her with passbooks holding thirty million each.
• Koga asked how Su Yang knew so many bank presidents, and he avoided revealing that he was a controlling shareholder in the banks.
• Su Yang held Koga’s hand and used the Instant Movement Technique to take her and Tsuyumaru to Forest School A.
• Su Yang offered to show Koga and Tsuyumaru around the mountain before the faculty and students arrived.
• Su Yang told Koga that Shinomiya Kaguya had split off a ten-year-old personality he called Little Kaguya.

Su Yang used up his limited Instant Movement Technique uses while taking Koga to collect her belongings, so he arranged a plane to return to Forest School A. While Tsuyu enjoyed the hot spring alone, a pink-haired girl entered the bath and began pulling Tsuyu’s soul into herself.

• Su Yang took Koga home to collect her suitcase after she realized she lacked toiletries and a change of clothes.
• Su Yang discovered that he had used all three daily uses of the Instant Movement Technique and arranged for a plane to take them back to Forest School A.
• Tsuyu soaked in the hot spring, savoring a bath she had been unable to enjoy for five hundred years.
• A pink-haired girl entered the bath, noticed Tsuyu’s sword, and began drawing Tsuyu’s soul into herself.

Tsuyu gained a physical body by switching souls with a pink-haired girl bathing in the hot spring, then sealed the girl inside Tsuyumaru to keep the body. She left a note claiming she would sleep for three days, but a man suddenly fell from the sky as she celebrated.

• Tsuyu realized she had taken physical form in the pink-haired girl's body and found the girl's soul lying outside it.
• Tsuyu drew Tsuyumaru and used a sealing method to trap the pink-haired girl's soul inside the blade.
• Tsuyu left a note for Master saying she would sleep inside the sword for three days, hoping to keep the borrowed body through Forest School.
• A man fell from the open sky above Tsuyu as she celebrated her plan.

Tsuyu realized she had awakened in Fujiwara Chika’s body while Su Yang believed she was Chika and intended to rekindle their old relationship. The chapter ended with Su Yang insisting he wanted the body regardless of who was inside it, as Tsuyu tried to back away and slipped.

• Su Yang found someone in the hot spring and mistook Tsuyu, in Chika’s body, for Chika.
• Tsuyu explained that she was his master’s subordinate, Tsuyu, but Su Yang suspected Chika could be pretending.
• Su Yang said it did not matter whether she was Tsuyu because she was in Chika’s body, which was what he wanted.
• Tsuyu backed away, slipped, and was caught by Su Yang before she could fall.
• Tsuyu called Su Yang a pervert and begged him not to continue.

Su Yang tried to soothe Tsuyu after their encounter, then offered to use a World-Breaking Stone to give her a physical body. Tsuyu stopped complaining and began negotiating how to spend the next three days.

• Su Yang helped Tsuyu wash and dress, then tried to calm her with offers of food and sightseeing.
• Tsuyu complained that Su Yang had treated her like a wild beast and made her feel as if she had been defiled.
• Su Yang offered to make Tsuyu a physical body using the World-Breaking Stone of Daily Life.
• Tsuyu accepted the prospect and demanded that she be allowed to do whatever she wanted for the next three days.

Su Yang stopped Tsuyu from getting a physical body until she agreed to let him phase through her first, then arranged for Tsuyu, Koga Tomoe, and Little Kaguya to share a room. Koga reluctantly accepted the plan, though Tsuyu’s promise that her blade would help did little to comfort her.

• Su Yang required Tsuyu to let him phase through her before he gave her a physical body, and Tsuyu agreed gloomily.
• Su Yang learned that Tsuyu could not access Chika’s memories and took her along for training so she would not damage Chika’s image.
• Su Yang brought Koga Tomoe along and explained that she would share a room with Chika and Little Kaguya so the three could share information.
• Koga panicked at the thought of living with Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya, but Su Yang encouraged her to compare herself with ordinary people.
• Tsuyu offered to help Koga with her blade, but Koga remained uneasy because Tsuyu was a ghost.

After returning to the Forest School base, Su Yang refused Ichika’s request to talk, saying he wanted to focus on studying. Ichika told her sisters about the rejection, and Nino proposed secretly scaring Su Yang during Dare Night.

• Ichika asked whether Su Yang had chosen someone for the Bonfire Party and whether he was free, but he refused to talk with her.
• Ichika returned to the lodge and told her sisters that Su Yang had rejected her and said he was not interested in women.
• Nino suggested that the sisters secretly scare Su Yang during Dare Night after helping frighten their classmates.

Su Yang avoided scaring the Nakano sisters at Dare Night by making Koga take his place, then encountered Shinomiya Kaguya, who had lost track of Little Kaguya. A rare King-level sign-in appeared for the Shinomiya Main House, giving him only five minutes of leeway to reach the location and complete it.

• May overheard Nino planning to lure her away and sent Su Yang a message after weighing whether to report the plan.
• Koga asked Su Yang whether time would continue normally, and he gave her the Tiga Ultraman costume and assigned her to scare everyone at Dare Night.

• Su Yang asked Shinomiya Kaguya to join the activity, and she said she had gotten lost after being separated from Little Kaguya.
• A King-level sign-in triggered for the Shinomiya Main House, with a thirty-minute completion requirement and only thirty-five minutes remaining.

• One brother proposed sending handsome men to approach Kaguya and provoke her into eloping.
