Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

"I've already turned off the fire. President, Anze, let me take care of wiping you down. I usually take care of your sister-in-law when she's sick, so I'm more experienced."

Hoshimiya Rin nodded slightly after hearing this.

“I have no experience in taking care of people, and Anze is not suitable, so I’ll have to trouble Nakano… I can help you out.”

"Mmm." Nakano Aoi took the towel and prepared to start using it.

An Zeliang also politely got up and left.

"If you need any help, I'll be in the living room outside. Just call me anytime."

"... "

An Zeliang checked the living room and then went into the kitchen to check again. He was relieved to find that there were no safety hazards.

Fortunately, Tamamo was just sick, and Yasuzawa Ryo breathed a sigh of relief.

I sat in the living room for a while, and I don't know how much time had passed, when there was a knock on the door.

Just as Anze Liang reached the door and was about to open it, Xingmiya Rin also came out of the bedroom, seemingly knowing who was outside.

The unlocked, dilapidated wooden door was pushed open.

Standing in front of the door was the driver from the Hoshimiya family, who had brought them here.

The driver looked at Hoshimiya Rin and handed her the large bag he was carrying: "Miss, I have bought all the medicines according to the list you sent."

"Okay, you should go and rest first."

"Okay lady."

Rin Hoshimiya took the bag; it looked quite heavy, and her fair fingertips turned red from the pressure of the bag.

"I'll get it."

An Zeliang took the bag from Xinggong Lin and glanced at it. He found that it contained not only fever reducers, but also some instant food that patients could eat, various ingredients, and a brand new ceramic pot.

No wonder it's so heavy.

Relieved of her burden, Hoshimiya Rin rubbed her fingertips and looked calmly at Anze Ryo, saying, "Don't worry about the door, Anze-kun. I've already booked a door replacement service, and it will all be taken care of in a little while."

"As expected of Hoshimiya-san, who is known to be a wealthy woman, she is truly generous."

"An Zeliang said with a smile.

All the troubles were resolved in such a short time. That's the power of money!

Just as Hoshimiya Rin was about to respond to Anze Ryo's teasing, Tamamo Yuki's weak voice suddenly came from inside the bedroom.

"Huh...? Nakano-kun? You... what are you doing here?"

Seeing this, An Zeliang and the other man exchanged a glance and decided to stop teasing for the time being and go check on Tamamo's condition.

In the bedroom.

Tamamo Yuki's face was flushed with an unusual blush. She rubbed her aching temples with one hand and looked at Nakano-kun, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, with a hint of confusion.

She suddenly heard what sounded like footsteps in the living room.

"Ah! I remember now, I told Anze I was going to invite everyone over for dinner. They're cooking in the kitchen... Oh no!"

Suddenly, Tamamo Yuki thought of something, her expression changed, and she didn't know where the strength came from, but she suddenly sat up from the tatami as if she had a sudden burst of energy before death, and rushed to the kitchen barefoot.

Nakano Aoi was washing a towel when Tamamo Sachi ran out before she could react. She quickly dropped the rag and followed, calling out with concern, "Sachi, you're sick, don't run so fast..."

in the living room.

When Anze and Hoshimiya saw Tamamo, who was supposed to be lying in bed, suddenly rush out without saying hello, she went straight into the kitchen.

The two of them hesitated for a moment, then followed into the kitchen.

In the kitchen.

Tamamo Yuki was looking miserable.

"How could this happen...? I...I messed it up again..."

In front of her, the porcelain pot that had once been simmering a clear broth was now burnt and blackened, and all the chopped ingredients were tainted with a strong, pungent charcoal smell that was nauseating to smell, let alone eat.

However, what Tamamo Yuki was worried about was not that the kitchen utensils were all burned, but that she would not be able to entertain her friends today.

But upon hearing the voices of Anze Liang and the others behind her, Tamamo Yuki quickly rubbed her eyes, suppressed all her negative emotions, and hurriedly turned around.

An embarrassed smile appeared on her pale face.

"Anze, Club President, Nakano... I'm sorry, I... I don't think I can entertain you today..."

"How about we wait until tomorrow afternoon? I'm sure I'll cough... cough cough cough then!"

Seeing Tamamo Yuki's pale face, the others felt too embarrassed to ask her to treat them.

"Tamamo-san, you should go lie down and rest. Don't worry about entertaining us today."

Tamamo Yuki lowered her head, biting her lip guiltily, "But, but... I promised everyone..."

"It's alright, Tamamo-san, you should rest. Leave the rest to us."

Anze Ryo interrupted her directly, and then, with the help of Nakano Aoi, forcibly sent Tamamo Yuki back to her bedroom.

Of course, something funny happened on the way back to the bedroom.

Tamamo Yuki discovered a large hole in her front door and asked in a daze, "Has my house been robbed?" This made Nakano Aoi and Hoshimiya Rin burst into laughter, while Yasuzawa Ryo coughed a few times, looking a little embarrassed.

After the explanation, Tamamo Yuki naturally didn't blame Yasuzawa Ryo for kicking the door, since it was to save her.

Regarding the damage to the door, Tamamo Yuki said that she didn't have anything valuable in her house anyway, so even without the door, it wouldn't matter.

It's a story that's both funny and heartbreaking.

"Nakano-kun, let's go cook. It's our turn to take care of the patient today," Yasuzawa Ryo said with a smile, glancing at Tamamo Yuki.

"it is good!"

Nakano Aoi did not refuse, and the two went to the kitchen.

At that moment, Hoshimiya Rin handed over the prepared fever-reducing medicine.

"Tamamo-san, it's time to take your medicine."

"Thanks……"

Tamamo Yuki took the water glass shyly, her head lowered, her eyelashes fluttering like butterflies, her slightly messy black hair falling across her face, blurring the deep unease in her eyes.

Feeling the warm medicine in her hands and hearing the sounds coming from the kitchen... she hadn't been cared for so long.

It's like when I was a child and my parents took care of me when I was sick.

A strange sense of happiness welled up in my heart.

Tamamo Yuki tilted her head back and drank the medicine in the cup in one gulp. The bitter taste hit the tip of her tongue, making her frown uncomfortably.

At this moment, Hoshimiya Rin, unusually gentle, asked with concern, "Tamamo-san, if you're still feeling unwell tomorrow, you can send me a message."

"I'll help you ask for leave."

"Ok!"

The cramped room felt warmer, and soon the kitchen was filled with the aroma of cooking and the sounds of laughter.

Although the bitter taste of the herbal medicine was still in my mouth, it tasted sweet.

A smile, not particularly bright, but one that revealed happiness, slowly appeared on Tamamo Yuki's lips.

"Thank you, President... Once I recover, I will definitely treat you all well!"

"There's no need to rush. Let's focus on getting better first."

"Ok!"

"..."

that's it.

What was originally intended as sukiyaki turned into congee and side dishes. Although it didn't look as appealing as sukiyaki, it was a rare treat, and the taste was just as good.

After the meal, Tamamo Yuki's complexion improved significantly, and her fever subsided considerably.

As for the issue of the damaged door, it has naturally been reinstalled by the staff called by the wealthy Hoshimiya Rin, who also replaced it with a more secure security door.

With all the problems resolved, Tamamo Yuki was deeply moved and kept expressing her gratitude. The others didn't refuse, but instead chatted with her for a while.

"I don't feel so bad anymore, and I should be able to go back to school tomorrow."

"Well, it's getting late, so we'll head back now. Tamamo-san, get some rest tonight and don't stay up too late."

After saying goodbye to Tamamo Yuki, Yasuzawa Ryo, Hoshimiya Rin, and Nakano Aoi got into the car.

The three people's homes were not on the same route, so after driving for a while, they arrived at the intersection where they would part ways.

"See you tomorrow, President."

"See you tomorrow, Nakano-kun, and Yasuzawa-kun."

After the farewell, the luxury car carrying Hoshimiya Rin quickly disappeared from the sight of Ansawa Ryo and Nakano Aoi.

The afternoon sun was no longer so intense and bright, and the dim, golden afterglow spilled onto the quiet street.

Occasionally, the sounds of boys and girls playing and laughing could be heard, and then they would gradually fade away with the falling cherry blossoms in the wind.

Anze Ryo and Nakano Aoi walked side by side on their way home, their shadows merging together and stretching out long.

"To be honest, I was really shocked when I saw Anze kick the door down today."

"

"I always felt that kind of scene could only be seen in animation."

As Nakano Aoi spoke, her fair cheeks were bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, and her hair, fluttering in the wind, seemed to glow at the edges, making her look incredibly beautiful.

She reached out, casually brushed aside the unruly strands of hair, tucked them behind her ear, and tilted her head slightly to look over.

"Luckily, Anze is here."

Looking into the girl's clear eyes, An Zeliang's tone softened.

"Actually, I also think it's good that Nakano-kun is here."

"I was so busy checking on Tamamo-san that I forgot about the kitchen, which was still on. Nakano-san, you're so thoughtful. You went to the kitchen, turned off the stove, and opened the window to let in some fresh air."
