Amasawa Ichika's POV

I am dying,

Again.

And at the same situation yet, again.

Watching my own body lying on the floor, lifeless.

I have been in this situation for multiple times, but it still feels somewhat unfamiliar.

Even though that's the case, I still remained calm and just lay next to my physical body.

And just waited for someone.

Just as he came to my mind, the same person, or should I say entity, arrived.

Standing right in front of me was a familiar brown haired man, with golden eyes. Wearing his usual all black attire as he stands there firmly and stoic.

'sigh'

Seeing the sight of my physical body lying on the floor and my spiritual body near it, the entity can't help but sigh.

He witnessed this same situation multiple times, so of course he will get tired of it.

"So it's you again." The brown haired man spoke.

"Um, y-yeah, it is." I reluctantly replied and just stared at the floor, embarrassed.

I can still feel his burning gaze at me even if I am bowing my head.

"I should have known." He replied calmly, as he stared at my body that was on the floor.

"Um, ano, grim reaper-san are finally you going to get me now?" I asked him nervously.

Yes, he is a grim reaper. And every single time that i am at death's door, he was always the one who is tasked to get me. But every single time, he wasn't able to.

He stared at me again dumbfounded after i spoke, and then a deep sigh exited his mouth.

"Care to remind me, how many times has this already happened?" He asked.

I can feel a slight exhaustion and annoyance at his voice as he asked me, so i once again stared at the floor to avert my eyes from him.

"Si-Sixteen." I replied.

"You really counted it, huh?" He asked.

His reply just makes me more nervous.

"O-Of course, it was not a normal experience so i re-rembered it clearly." I replied to him.

He remained silent as he stared at me and then sighed again in annoyance.

"Do you really value your life?" He asked.

"Yeah, um o-ofcourse i do." I replied.

"Then if that's the case, please do tell me the reason why you keep on intentionally killing yourself again?" He asked.

"Well, um, y-you know-" I was speaking when he interrupted me.

"Okay, okay, nevermind, I knew it already. But can you please stop doing it just because you wanted to see me." He said, as he put one of his hands on his temple.

As he said those words I neglected my act and stared at this handsome grim reaper in front of me, while smirking.

"I can help it okay~" I replied with a wink.

To which he just sighed and looked at me as if asking if i am serious.

That's right, fourteen of my sixteen deaths were intentional and what he said was the reason behind it.
