In this crossover anime, I've been bound to two systems.

After drinking the water, you notice that Eriri Sawamura's face is even redder. You know she must have taken the opportunity to admire your good looks, and you're certain she has feelings for you.

With some time before get out of class ends, you casually invite her for a walk along the track.

[You previously researched Eriri Sawamura's background, and you understand her preferences and strengths. Therefore, most of your conversations revolve around anime and drawing.]

Eriri Sawamura isn't very talkative; most of the time, it's just you doing all the talking while she keeps her hands behind her back, occasionally glancing at you with a subtle, warm look before quickly looking away.

If your previous interactions with Kasumigaoka Utaha gave you the impression of her as a gentle and intelligent older sister, then Sawamura Eriri now gives you a refreshing feeling of a girl next door. She is beautiful and petite, harboring feelings of affection but shyly hiding them deep inside, with only occasional glimpses of her emotions revealed through her sky-blue eyes.

You think to yourself, "She's a delicate and cautious girl, like a fawn in the forest. I can't rush things with her."

Even so, you still think it would be better to establish more contact with her, as this would speed up the process of getting to know each other and become familiar with each other sooner.

For this, you are prepared to...

[1. Request to add Eriri Sawamura on LINE.]

[2. Eriri Sawamura seems to have joined the art club.]

3. Your three-year high school life has only just begun; there are still two and a half years to go, so there's no rush.

Looking at the options in front of her, Suzumiya Chisato chose the third option without much hesitation.

His mindset has changed; achieving a perfect ending in The Sims is no longer his top priority.

What he wants to know now is whether the conjecture that has come to mind is correct.

Therefore, what he needs to do is not to speed up the progress of the strategy, but to stop temporarily and observe quietly.

Your thoughts waver, pulled by invisible threads. The initial desire to go further vanishes, replaced by a sense of complacency. You think there's plenty of time, and there will be other opportunities. After the bell rings, you don't say anything more, simply waving goodbye to Eriri Sawamura before turning and leaving without a second thought.

For the next week, you focused on your studies and practiced the fighting techniques you'd been practicing since childhood at the martial arts gym after school.

As your body matures, your fighting skills are also steadily improving. You can now hold your own against a former professional fighter's coach. The coach tells you that you can easily take down ten unarmed opponents.

Another week has passed, and you gradually notice that you're running into Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri quite frequently at school. Several times, you've even seen both of them appear in front of you at the same time.

You can't help but remark that the school's area is indeed a bit small.

I don't think this has anything to do with the size of the school.

Regarding her suspicion, Chisato Suzumiya became even more certain.

[During your lunch break this Wednesday, you received a friend request. The applicant's profile picture was of a black cat with alluring wine-red eyes.]

After you accepted the request, the other party introduced herself as Kasumigaoka Utaha. You were somewhat surprised, but before you could ask her anything, she quickly sent another text message inviting you to meet at your usual spot, saying she had something to ask you.

Kasumigaoka-senpai's sudden action has left you somewhat puzzled, unsure of why she invited you over.

However, she was already your chosen first wife, so you didn't hesitate and agreed immediately. Five minutes later, you arrived at the courtyard bench where you had previously dined together.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was already sitting there, waiting. Her face was still radiant, but this time it was slightly different. You could catch a hint of gloom on her face; she seemed to be troubled by something.

You greeted her and sat down next to her, listening quietly as she explained why she had asked you out.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath and slowly recounted some of the things she had recently encountered. The more she spoke, the paler her face became. Her hands, which had been resting on either side of her legs, gradually clasped together, trembling slightly. Her eyes, which were usually so relaxed and languid, were now filled with panic and exhaustion. Her anxious and uneasy appearance was particularly heartbreaking.

It turns out that Kasumigaoka Utaha has been stalked recently.

Every day on her way to and from school, she vaguely felt that someone was following her. At first, she thought it was just her imagination, that she was overthinking things, but starting a few days ago, this situation changed.

[Crumpled tissues started appearing inexplicably at her doorstep. Several times while walking, she noticed a distinct white light behind her. Sometimes, even late at night, she could hear the sound of small stones being thrown at her bedroom window.]

This convinced her that she was indeed being targeted by a dangerous individual, and that this scoundrel had become increasingly bold and reckless in recent days.

After she finished speaking, her large, firm chest heaved violently.

[Reach out at this moment and gently place your hand on the back of her hand...]

…………

Chapter 64 Eriri Wants to Treat Everyone to Seafood

[Kasumigaoka Utaha finished recounting everything with a sense of terror, her large chest heaving violently.]

[Reach out at this moment, gently place your hand on the back of her hand to comfort her, and say...]

[1. Where are your parents, senior? And why didn't you contact the police?]

[2. Let's put this topic aside for now. First, tell me, how did you get my LINE number?]

3. I will protect my senior.

In dating games, if you think about it normally, you can eliminate the first or second option at a glance, without even needing to think too much.

The third option is the classic, straightforward storyline.

Imagine, the female protagonist is facing difficulties and dangers, and is gradually becoming haggard in a state of fear.

At this moment, a righteous male protagonist appears out of nowhere and comes to her side, protecting her like a valiant knight, sweeping away anyone who dares to harm her with his spear.

The two faced difficulties together, and during this process, they developed feelings for each other due to various events. Finally, against the backdrop of the setting sun dyeing the clouds orange-red, the two shared a passionate kiss, officially crossing the final line and committing to a lifelong relationship.

How wonderful!

but!

In Suzumiya Chisato's eyes, the life simulation he is currently experiencing is no longer just a simple dating simulation.

He felt that there was a hidden story behind this simulation that he was unaware of, and what he needed to do now was to find out.

He chose the first option that no normal person would ever choose.

[Upon hearing this, you strangely felt little emotional reaction. Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha, you were about to ask her why she didn't seek help from your elders or the police when Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke first.]

She said her father is the editor-in-chief of a landscape and geography magazine. A week ago, he went abroad for work, and her mother went with him. They won't be home for another ten days or so.

She added that she had tried to seek help from the Japanese police, but the officer who received her only told her to be careful, avoid taking routes through deserted alleys on her way to and from school, lock her doors and windows at night, and call the police immediately if she encountered any danger.

"???"

Is this... me being predicted?

Kasumigaoka Utaha silently closed her eyes. She believed that what good would it do to call the police after she had truly encountered danger and been harmed? The damage would not disappear, and no matter how the perpetrator was punished, the fact that she had suffered could not be undone.

She looked at you, her cold palm touching the back of your hand. She said she had no other choice, no other friends at school, and now you were the only one she could rely on.

[You're a guy, tall and strong, and she wants you to pretend to be her boyfriend. That way, the stalker might stop following her out of fear of you.]

What is your response to this?

1. Say yes to her.

2. Okay, I have conditions.

Despite trying to avoid it all along, we've finally reached this point where all other paths are blocked, leaving us with no way out.

Suzumiya Chisato directly chose the safer first option.

[You agreed to Kasumigaoka Utaha's request, which relieved her; the gloom on her face dissipated, and her expression was once again filled with brightness.]

After sitting on the bench for a while and chatting about various things to keep in mind when pretending to be boyfriends, you all went back to your classrooms.

After school in the afternoon, you planned to wait for Kasumigaoka Utaha to walk home together, but as soon as you stepped out of the classroom, you were blocked by Sawamura Eriri.

[You arrived at the end of the corridor, where no one was around. After exchanging a few trivial and dry remarks, Eriri Sawamura shyly extended an invitation. She said that her relatives had sent some high-quality, fresh seafood from Hokkaido, and she wanted to thank you for helping her back down the stairs and preventing her from falling and getting hurt. She invited you to her house for a seafood meal.]

What is your answer to this?

[1. I also need to take Kasumigaoka-senpai home.]

2. Sorry, let's do it another day.

3. Great! I haven't had high-end seafood in ages, especially such fresh seafood.

After a moment's thought, Suzumiya Senri chose the second option. He felt it would be better not to let Sawamura Eriri know about the promise he and Kasumigaoka Utaha had made, even if it was just a fake relationship.

You politely declined Eriri Sawamura's invitation.

You thought this would end your conversation, but Eriri Sawamura, unusually persistent, said, "If there's no time today, how about tomorrow?"

Looking into her expectant yet slightly hesitant eyes, you ultimately couldn't bring yourself to be firm and told her you had time this weekend.

Eriri Sawamura nodded happily. She's arranged to meet you at her house this weekend. She'll put the seafood she hasn't cooked yet in the freezer when she gets home today, so you can enjoy it when you come over.

Suzumiya Chisato closed her eyes and sighed.

He was 80% certain that the players in this Sims game were most likely not the same person.

Their repeated proactive attacks are completely unlike the personalities of Eriri Sawamura and Utaha Kasumigaoka. If it's not a bug in the simulator, then they must have retained memories from their previous Sims experiences, just like him.

The situation has become complicated.

This situation was completely unexpected. The car veered off the main road and sped across a desolate wilderness, with no one knowing where it would eventually end up.

Suzumiya Senri felt heavy-hearted.

But once the simulation starts, no one can stop it unless it crashes halfway through.

In The Sims, he is still living his life step by step.

After saying goodbye to Eriri Sawamura, you arrived at the school gate. Utaha Kasumigaoka was already waiting there, and her displeasure at being more than ten minutes late did not bother her.

[Just as you two had agreed, you pretended to be a couple. Kasumigaoka Utaha stayed by your side, and as you slowly moved away from the school, she affectionately took your arm. To onlookers, you two looked like an incredibly loving and perfectly matched couple.]

Along the way, you carefully observed but did not spot any stalkers.

Kasumigaoka Utaha thanks you for your help. She says that perhaps the plan worked, making the stalker less blatant than before.

You are invited inside by Kasumigaoka Utaha to have fruit and tea. She tells you where the washroom is, and you go there to wash your hands.

Then, as you pushed open the door, you saw sheer, alluring black stockings draped over the edge of the pool.

…………

Chapter Sixty-Five: Don't go, okay?

[The light, airy black stockings are undoubtedly the ones Kasumigaoka Utaha usually wears.]

You hear the sound of fruit being peeled coming from the kitchen, which means Kasumigaoka Utaha won't be coming over for the time being. You decide...

[1. Pick it up and bring it close to your nose to check the smell, thus determining whether it's a pair of stockings she washed but forgot to put away, or stockings she wore but forgot to wash.]

2. Store it away and use it at home.
