Control Freaks Are Not Allowed to Date

[Next Novel: An Ordinary Person Like Me Wants a Happy Ending with the Strongest] A daily-life story of sweet, satisfying romance with secret identities, fake RPG elements, and cosmic horror

[Short Story: 70 Miles an Hour, Feeling Uneasy]

After her attempt at mechanical ascension failed, Xipo was reincarnated as a human.

She started out in hell as a Heavenly Restriction, with half her health bar and a debuff that guaranteed an early death. Purely a nerf, with no buffs.

To break the curse and live to a ripe old age, Xipo set her sights on a certain easily startled Child of God. She watched him in secret for decades, then used a few tricks to become his classmate before he was old enough to enroll at the technical college.

After plenty of scheming and a little hard work, she earned his trust.

Across a hundred thousand parallel universes, she saved him, pulled him out of trouble, and asked him for help.

But the cabbages she'd worked so hard to rescue, the Gojos, seemed to want something else from her.

Classmate: Want to feel a little happier?

Educator: You should extort the man who saw you crying.

Resurrected one: Caught you! Long time no see~

?■: Xipo, enjoying pain is wrong.

Xipo: ?

You really don't have to pick fights with imaginary enemies from both sides.

Question: Which one did you drop: the innocent classmate Gojo, the mature older Gojo, the powered-up Gojo who returned from the dead after falling in battle, or the sealed Gojo locked inside the Prison Realm?

Xipo: ...Is this a trick question?
