Reborn for My Second Life, I Just Want to Lie Flat [Anime Crossover]

Bei Zhai's first rebirth brought him into a fictional manga world whose main setting was Jujutsu Ousen.

Knowing the original manga's plot, he thought he would be the protagonist, only to have reality knock him flat. He couldn't save anyone, and ended up being the first to die.

His arrogant ambition to save everyone was cut short by death. When he opened his eyes again, Bei Zhai found that he had respawned once more.

“To be honest, I've been reborn so many times that I'm getting a little tired of it.” Looking at the familiar buildings of the Zenin estate, young Bei Zhai sighed. “But I don't want to die, so this time I'll just live as an ordinary person.”

As for becoming the future head of the Zenin family, Bei Zhai's attitude was that whoever wanted the job could have it.

However, after leaving the Zenin family, Bei Zhai had expected to live out the rest of his days in peace. Instead, things gradually slipped beyond his control.

Perhaps it had something to do with his second rebirth, but this manga world, which had once been a single, isolated setting, seemed to have merged with other worlds.

Jujutsu, psychic powers, onmyoji arts... After discreetly exorcising the spirit attached to Class President Reigen, Bei Zhai stared out the window at the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in the street and fell silent.

What gave Bei Zhai an even bigger headache was that, despite having distanced himself from the jujutsu world and even chosen an ordinary high school, some of the troublesome ties from his previous life still came looking for him.

“I hope weirdos like the white-haired Six Eyes guy and the cult leader in the lantern pants stay far away from me.” After closing his eyes and saying his usual prayer before bed, Bei Zhai was ready to sleep, but two sources of warmth beside him woke him right back up.

“So why aren't you two sleeping in the guest room? Why do you have to squeeze into my bed?!”

“And how many times have I told you to use the front door instead of climbing in through the window?!”
