Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

Every time the two of them played games, when Hayano-sensei was completely crushed by him and couldn't keep up the fight, he would make this pitiful face, as if he wanted to make Anze Liang feel guilty.

Whether out of guilt or other reasons, An Zeliang felt he had to go back tonight.

He glanced at the time; it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. It would be at least nine o'clock by the time he got back to the apartment from the yacht. After thinking for a moment, An Zeliang spoke up.

"Mr. Hayano, I'll probably get home around 9 or 10. You can play some games first. I'll play with you when I get back. We'll play all night!"

On the other end of the phone, Hayano Hoshiko was sitting on the sofa, tidying up some clothes she had left there.

Because she was home alone and tomorrow was a holiday, she was very relaxed. She was wearing a loose white T-shirt on her upper body and a pair of black shorts with wide leg openings on her lower body. As she moved, you could vaguely see through the leg openings her thighs, which had been pressed into a pinkish-red color from sitting for too long, and a faint purple tinge.

Upon hearing Anze Liang's words, Hayano Hoshiko changed her posture, put her free hand into the wide opening of her pants, adjusted its position, and then asked with a face full of curiosity.

"Staying up all night? So, Anze, what hero are you planning to play? I'll check out the skills first, so I don't lose to you later."

"I'll play Sakurai Tomoki, you play Icarus."

"Sakurai Tomoki?"

Hayano Hoshiko tried hard to recall. She had been playing 3000 Heroes for so long, and although she didn't know much about many of the heroes, she had a basic impression of them. But this name sounded familiar, yet she couldn't quite place it...

"Anze, don't hang up the phone yet."

After saying that, Hayano Hoshiko jumped off the sofa, ran barefoot to the table, turned on the computer, started Three Thousand Heroes, and carefully looked through the hero catalog. Her doubts deepened.

"Anze, are you sure you're not mistaken? Sakurai Tomoki isn't among the Three Thousand Heroes."

"It will be there when I get back."

"what?"

Hayano Hoshiko blinked, then suddenly understood. Did Anzawa mean he could create a new character in a heartbeat?

That's pretty impressive... but how am I supposed to learn about this new character?

Wait, no, no, the important thing tonight isn't playing games!

Hayano Hoshiko's tone turned serious as she urged, "Anze, hurry up and finish your work so you can come back soon. Whether you play games tonight or not isn't important; the main thing is that it's not safe for you to be out alone so late."

"Well, I see."

"... "

After chatting with Anze Liang for a couple more minutes, Hayano Hoshiko hung up the phone and sat happily at her computer desk, looking at the hero interface. Her fingers subconsciously opened the character panel of her most frequently played hero, Icarus.

Her gaze swept over Icarus's skill descriptions and background... Hayano Hoshiko's movements suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on the background.

"Icarus claims to be an all-purpose angel for entertainment, but in reality, she is a strategic all-purpose angel, Master."

It's... Sakurai Tomoki..."

No wonder the name Sakurai Tomoki sounded familiar! So, Sakurai Tomoki is Icarus's master!

Owner……

Recalling what Anze Liang had just said, Hayano Hoshiko's fair face flushed red, and her long legs bent and curled up in front of her chest.

Staring blankly at the computer screen, her face flushed, she spoke softly after a long while.

"Lord, master?"

"This is so embarrassing!"

"Besides, the clothes are completely inappropriate..."

"Anze is such a naughty kid at such a young age, he's even more daring than the teacher."

Hayano Hoshiko suddenly covered her face with both hands, her ears turning bright red, her whole being caught in a deep struggle and inexplicable anticipation.

Suddenly, she thought of something and slowly turned her gaze toward the kitchen.

Hayano Hoshiko remembered that when she came to Yasuzawa Ryo's house yesterday, Hoshimiya Rin seemed to be wearing an apron...

She pursed her lips, stood up, and went into the kitchen.

Of course, she just wanted to find an apron to wear and cook a meal when she got a little hungry in the evening!

...

On the yacht, An Zeliang put away his phone, which had already ended the call, and a smile appeared on his face.

Since Mr. Hayano has offered himself up, there's naturally no reason to refuse.

However, it wouldn't be good to go back empty-handed.

How about we go to an adult convenience store and prepare a gift in advance?

He remembered that Ms. Hayano liked small, portable items, and as for the color, she usually chose purple. He knew she would be very happy to receive the gift.

However, Anze Liang did not forget that he was still on the yacht, not home yet, with Hoshimiya Rin, Nakano Aoi, and Tamamo Yuki discussing staying overnight together.

Gazing at the seascape under the night sky, An Zeliang composed himself, and after thinking of a reason to leave, he decided to turn around and return to the observation room.

But just then, his phone vibrated again, receiving a new message.

Upon opening it, I saw that the sender was Sister Qianhe.

"What is my adorable little Liang doing right now?"

"Are you studying hard?"

"I remember your school has a weekend tomorrow, right? I also have the day off tomorrow. Would you like me to come visit you?"

At the end, there's a mischievous emoji with its tongue sticking out.

Is Chizuru coming over?

This should have been a good thing, but Hayano Hoshiko is still at home tonight waiting for some things to happen. How could Yasuzawa Ryo possibly let Chizuru-nee come over and ruin things? After thinking for a moment, he replied.

"Sister Qianhe, it's a rare weekend off, so you should rest at home for a couple of days. You don't need to come see me."

However, Yukimura Chizuru showed no intention of giving up, replying to messages very quickly.

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

"Your sister bought you lots of delicious food. I'll bring it all over to you tomorrow and fill your fridge to the brim. It'll be enough for you to eat for a long time."

Chizuru-nee... how come you can't seem to escape your connection with refrigerators...?

An Zeliang smiled helplessly and continued to persuade her, "Sister Qianhe, there's no need. You're already working very hard studying at Tokyo University. Just buy yourself some nutritional supplements to nourish your body. My refrigerator already has..."

"It's full, but I can take care of myself."

"Hmm, really? But I remember when you were at home, you often ate junk food. You couldn't cook rice or stir-fry vegetables... It felt like you were on the verge of starving to death. I'm very worried about you."

Chizuru sent a crying emoji, perfectly timed.

"That was before. I'm all grown up now and can take care of myself. So, Chizuru-nee, you don't need to come anymore."

"Xiao Liang, you've been refusing to let your sister come see you. Could it be that you're hiding a woman in your room?"

"... "

A woman's intuition is indeed very accurate!

An Zeliang did not pause, his fingers tapping on the keyboard as he calmly replied.

"How could that be? Sister Chizuru, don't you know me? I'm always focused on my studies and making progress every day. I also ask my teachers at school for help from time to time. I'm very busy, so I don't have time to date."

"That's true, my Xiaoliang is the best-behaved."

Chizuru seemed to be just joking.

"Then let's see when we have time tomorrow. If I'm free, I'll come see you. If I'm not free... well, we'll see."

"Then it's settled! No more refusing!"

"Okay, goodnight, Chizuru-nee."

After sending a goodnight message, An Zeliang sighed softly.

I have a feeling that Chizuru-nee might launch a surprise attack tomorrow.

Even if I find out there really is a woman in my house... it shouldn't be a big deal, right? After all, Chizuru is my older sister, not my girlfriend, so what am I afraid of?

At worst, I can just tell Chizuru that I'm in a relationship.

With that thought in mind, An Ze felt justified in putting away his phone and returning to the observation deck.

The three girls, including Hoshimiya Rin, seemed to have finished their discussion. A strange young man was standing in front of them, who appeared to be trying to strike up a conversation with them.

As Anze Liang walked over, he saw Nakano Aoi raise her head with a smile, her cheeks slightly flushed, and point at him.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yamada, this is my boyfriend, Yasuzawa Ryo... I'm going home with him tonight, so I won't be joining you for the yacht cruise."

"……Um?"

Anze Ryo looked at Nakano Aoi with some surprise.

However, after looking at the scene, he roughly understood.

They're using me as a shield. They're using me to swat away flies.

Yes, this kind of shield may be old-fashioned, but it is extremely useful.

"I see. I'm sorry, Ms. Nakano, Mr. Yasuzawa. I didn't think of that."

Mr. Yamada did not notice anything amiss. After apologizing, he took a deep breath and looked at Rin Hoshimiya.

Originally, he had observed the three girls for a long time and thought that Nakano Aoi was the cutest and purest in appearance, and the one who seemed to be the easiest to talk to and the most lively, so he would be easier to invite. That's why he asked Nakano Aoi first.

But since Nakano Aoi isn't doing well right now, he doesn't mind challenging himself.

With this in mind, Mr. Yamada smiled and said to Rin Hoshimiya.

"If Ms. Nakano is going home with her boyfriend, does this beautiful lady have a date tonight? If you don't mind, you can join me for a night cruise. I have a few luxury suites available on the yacht, you can..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hoshimiya Rin looked at Anze Ryo and said in a calm tone, "I'm with him too."

"Well?

Yamada was stunned.

At this point, An Zeliang, who was once again dragged out as a shield, could not deny it and could only nod with a smile.

"Yes, they were all with me."

"... "
