Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

Three familiar people, a familiar private space... the familiar drinking?

Is Ms. Hayano... giving me another chance?

It's not surprising that Anze Liang thought this way, given what had happened before. The fact that Ms. Hayano dared to suggest drinking clearly had a reason; it couldn't possibly be that she simply wanted to drink, could it?

Therefore, there is a high probability that they will be given a chance.

An Zeliang wasn't a virgin either, so he naturally understood what that meant... He hesitated for a moment, then didn't...

It means refusing to drink. Anze Liang isn't some saint; since Hayano-sensei is willing to give him a chance, he certainly won't refuse.

but.

Someone cares.

Upon hearing the word "sake," Hoshimiya Rin's brows furrowed with seriousness. She stared at Hayano Hoshiko and uttered two resolute words.

"No."

Although her tone was calm, it carried an air of undeniable authority.

"No? Why not? I'm the teacher, I make the decisions!" Hayano Hoshiko asserted.

Hoshimiya Rin maintained her calm expression, simply saying, "Alcohol can affect a person's thinking and lead them to do bad things."

"Of course the teacher knows! But the teacher is a self-controlled adult. It's just a little sake, nothing serious will happen!" Hayano Hoshiko argued unwillingly.

"Nothing serious will happen?"

Rin Hoshimiya stared at Hoshino Hoshiko with calm eyes for several seconds, as if trying to remind her of something, before speaking softly.

“I’m not worried about you getting into trouble, I’m worried about Anze and me getting into trouble. As a mentally sound club president, I have a responsibility to protect myself and the club members.”

"If Mr. Hayano wants to drink, please finish it outside by yourself this time and then come back."

"..."

"Ahem... Teacher, I was just joking. You're still students, how can you drink alcohol? No drinking! Absolutely no drinking tonight!" Hayano Hoshiko quickly laughed it off. Of course, she knew what Hoshimiya Rin meant, so she immediately expressed her determination to avoid being kicked out.

Moreover, she did feel guilty.

The incident at the hotel last time was because she was drunk... so she was somewhat afraid to look Hoshimiya Rin in the eye, and even afraid to look at Hoshimiya Rin's face.

It's all because Hoshimiya Rin was lucky that her father didn't come to beat her up.

Thinking of this, Hayano Hoshiko didn't dare linger on the topic any longer and quickly grabbed Anze Ryo's arm, saying, "Anze-kun, weren't we going to buy drinks? Let's go!"

At that moment, Hoshimiya Rin interrupted her.

"No need, teacher, you can wait for us at home. Anze and I will go buy it to prevent you from buying alcohol secretly."

"How could that be! The teacher isn't the kind of person who does things secretly!"

Ignoring Hayano Hoshiko's excuses, Hoshimiya Rin walked towards the door and started putting on her shoes.

An Zeliang also grabbed his wallet and coat, ready to go out.

How could Hayano Hoshiko let the two of them go out alone? She didn't want to give them any more opportunities to get ahead, so she quickly followed.

"Wait! I'll go with you too!"

"As your teacher, how could I possibly let you two students go out alone at night? Lately, there have been reports of 'scumbag killers' and 'serial killers.' It's too dangerous for you two students to go out alone! Let me accompany you! I'm capable of protecting you!"

As Hayano Hoshiko spoke, she had already put on her shoes.

In the end, unable to resist Mr. Hayano's insistence, the three of them went downstairs together and left the neighborhood.

As the three walked out of the residential compound, none of them noticed that a figure was hiding in the shadows, watching them from around the corner of the apartment building...

Arriving at the convenience store, An Zeliang bought some salt, soy sauce, and some drinks.

Thinking back, I'll still have to be there sometimes.

He took some fresh vegetables and meat to cook at home.

Everything was in order, and when I got to the cashier, it was just time for the sales clerks to change shifts.

The person who came to relieve the shift took off their hat and mask, revealing a very familiar face... It was Matsui Rena!

Although he hadn't seen her for several days, An Zeliang hadn't forgotten that the seemingly quiet and gentle beauty in front of him was a scumbag killer.

At that moment, Matsui Rena also saw Ansawa Ryo waiting to pay the bill... as well as Hoshimiya Rin and Hayano Hoshiko beside him.

"Anze-kun, it's been a long time."

Rena Matsui greeted him with a smile and a gentle tone.

drop--

During the chat, she scanned the items, and amidst the jarring mechanical voice, An Zeliang responded with a "long time no see," without showing any nervousness.

With his current strength, he is no longer afraid of Matsui Rena.

Besides, he didn't show any close relationship with either Hoshimiya Rin or Hayano Hoshiko, so he shouldn't be seen as a scumbag who cheats on both of them, right?

After a normal conversation, An Zeliang paid the bill, and the three of them left the convenience store.

However, after leaving the convenience store, Hoshimiya Rin suddenly said something that made Yasuzawa Ryo's eyes twitch.

"Anze is such a womanizer, he likes to have affairs everywhere, he even goes after the cashier at the convenience store."

"What is a stallion...?" An Zeliang was speechless.

"It's a male horse specifically for mating."

"Of course I know what the word 'stud' means, I was just making fun of what you said! Hoshimiya-kun, why do you always know so much about these weird and wonderful things?" Anze Liang couldn't help but complain again.

Hayano Hoshiko blinked, as if just realizing something, and then looked on with a look of sudden understanding: "So Anze-kun knows that cashier?"

Anze Liang's eye twitched. "Ms. Hayano, where are you? Where are you?"

The three chatted and laughed as they returned to their apartment building.

That's when.

Suddenly... An Zeliang felt a chill.

With his intermediate-level reconnaissance skills, An Zeliang didn't dismiss the chill as an illusion. Instead, he casually glanced around before his gaze silently settled on the apartment building.

Sure enough, there was a strange figure there.

It was the Lolita girl I hadn't seen in a long time; she was standing at the window, staring straight at me.

Her black skirt swayed slightly in the wind, her face completely hidden in darkness.

But An Zeliang could sense that her eyes were fixed on the three of them, or rather, on him.

"Damn it, is it not a good day to go out?" An Zeliang cursed inwardly.

I ran into Matsui Rena at the convenience store out of the blue, and then encountered my crazy neighbor when I got home... If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have cooked tonight and would have just ordered takeout.

However, despite thinking this way, An Zeliang was not afraid, but was inexplicably annoyed.

I have a feeling that the Lolita girl and Matsui Rena know each other, or perhaps have some kind of strange relationship. For example, is the Lolita girl helping Rena gather information? Or maybe… she's collecting corpses?

Remembering how she always dragged around a huge suitcase... I reckon it's very likely that Rena-chan helped her.

fierce.

Ding!

Just then, the elevator arrived.

He put those thoughts aside for the time being, went home, and decided to talk about it after dinner.

If all else fails, we can do another simulation tonight to see what the future holds.

Since he had prepared all the vegetables and meat he needed before leaving home, An Zeliang only needed to work in the kitchen for about ten minutes after returning home to bring out all the cooked dishes.

After dinner, Hayano Hoshiko insisted on playing a few more games, and the three of them chatted and played, and time passed quickly.

At this moment, Hoshimiya Rin released the mouse, rubbed her hands, looked at the time, and said, "It's getting late, I should rest. I have classes tomorrow."

Hayano Hoshiko looked up at the clock on the wall, stretched lazily, her long legs straightened, and her supple waist stretched out in the chair, showing a beautiful curve under the warm light.

"Phew... Really? It's already past eleven o'clock. I feel like I've played too many games today, and my eyes are starting to hurt."

She gently rubbed her eyes, and a belated look of weariness appeared on Hayano Hoshiko's face.

The thought of having to drive home at this hour, then go upstairs, wash up, and go to sleep... made her sit back down in the chair as soon as she lifted her buttocks.

"Ahem... Teacher, you've had a busy day and are mentally exhausted. Driving home while fatigued would be very unsafe."

"So, I've decided to sleep at Anze's place tonight!"

There was absolutely no room for An Zeliang to refuse.

An Zeliang didn't mind at all; there were spare rooms available, so he could sleep anywhere... it didn't matter.

However, he always felt that Hayano-sensei was hinting at something... First she wanted to drink, and now she wants to stay overnight... Could it be that she really wants something to happen?

An Zeliang also started to ponder, just to avoid misunderstanding anything. He then asked.

"I don't mind if you stay overnight, teacher. But, Mr. Hayano, did you bring any change of clothes?"

Hayano Hoshiko chuckled, revealing a wise expression. It wasn't her first time playing games at Anze Ryo's house, so how could she not have prepared in advance?

"Just in case, I always keep a change of clothes in the car. I can just go downstairs and get it in a bit, so I don't have to worry about not having clothes to change into the next day."

Good guy!

Anze Liang now truly felt that he had guessed correctly; Hayano-sensei was hinting at something! Otherwise, why would she have prepared a change of clothes in advance? She must have already made preparations for staying overnight.

Little brother, you're in for a treat tonight!

An Zeliang thought this to himself, but remained outwardly calm to prevent Xinggong Lin from interfering again and interrupting the beautiful event of the night.

"... "

Rin Hoshimiya had already stood up, intending to say goodbye and go home to rest.

But as Hayano Hoshiko and Yasuzawa Ryo's conversation reached her ears, her calm gaze swept over Hayano Hoshiko, who was sitting motionless in her chair, and she quietly stopped in her tracks.

A few seconds later, Hoshimiya Rin said quietly.

"It is indeed getting late. If I go home now to wash up and go to bed, it will take up a lot of my rest time and affect my sleep duration."

"Since you're going to rest here, I'll stay the night too. I happen to see there are some spare rooms available."
