Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

"Well then, Anze, you guys tidy up your bedroom, and I'll go wash the dishes. Is that alright?" Hayano Hoshiko asked tentatively, sounding every bit the part of a housewife.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Hayano."

"Teacher."

"... "

The three roughly divided the work. Hayano Hoshiko started tidying up the table, while Yasuzawa Ryo and Hoshimiya Rin went to the bathroom to fetch two basins of water, two rags for cleaning, a vacuum cleaner, a mop, and so on.

After that, all the tools were moved to the second bedroom, which needed to be cleaned.

"Shua..."

"Cough cough!!"

As soon as the door was opened, perhaps due to excessive force, a cloud of dust rushed out. Anze Liang was alright, but Xing Gong Lin, who was standing nearby, had clearly never seen anything like it before and coughed several times from the choking dust.

"I didn't expect this bedroom to be so dusty. President, you should wear a mask to protect yourself from the dust."

Anze Ryo found a mask and handed it to Hoshimiya Rin.

Because of her severe coughing, she was having trouble breathing, so a strange blush appeared on Hoshimiya Rin's pale face, and her usually calm eyes were now filled with shimmering tears...

"Thank you."

"Anze, let's start cleaning."

"Oh, right, you should put on the head covering too. Your hair is long, and it's hard to wash if it gets dirty."

"... "

This guest room, which needed cleaning, didn't have a mattress or bed. Instead, it was covered with traditional Japanese tatami mats. During the day, it could be used as a study, and at night, with a futon laid on the tatami, it would become a bedroom.

However, since An Zeliang doesn't usually use this guest room, it's filled with miscellaneous items that he was too lazy to tidy up when he first moved in. There are no windows open for ventilation, so the room is quite dusty and difficult to clean.

I first used a vacuum cleaner to clean the floor several times, and then wiped it with a cloth. It took almost an hour of this process, but the room was still dusty and not very clean.

While cleaning, Hayano Hoshiko also tidied up the kitchen, put on kitchen gloves, and joined the cleaning team with a rag.

Anze Liang's physique is different from ordinary people. After cleaning for so long, he only sweated a little and didn't even pant. Teacher Hayano usually lives alone and cleans her room from time to time. She joined the cleaning halfway through and didn't feel too tired.

Only Hoshimiya Rin, the young lady, had her mask pulled down to her chin, revealing her rosy, sweaty face and slightly parted lips. Occasionally, she would stick out her soft tongue and lick her lips, looking truly exhausted.

"Hoshimiya-kun, why don't you take a break first?"

An Zeliang stopped cleaning and spoke.

"Let me and Mr. Hayano clean this place."

"...No need, I can continue with you." Hoshimiya Rin shook her head lightly, holding up the towel to continue wiping the floor.

Suddenly, she stumbled and fell to her knees on the tatami mat in the guest room with a thud, her face expressionless. The rag in her hand flew out and landed squarely on Hayano Hoshiko's buttocks.

"Hey!"

Hayano Hoshiko was mopping the floor with her back to the two of them when she suddenly felt a chill on her bottom. She was startled and screamed, quickly turning her head around.

"what happened?"

"... "

Hoshimiya Rin met Hayano Hoshiko's gaze expressionlessly, slowly stood up, picked up the rag from the ground, and said in a calm tone.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hayano, my rag seems to have suddenly developed its own ideas."

"

"??"

Hayano Hoshiko looked completely bewildered, and Anze Ryo couldn't help but smile, putting down the rag in his hand.

"Alright, alright, everyone must be tired after cleaning for so long. Let's sit down and rest for a bit, we can continue later."

“Okay.” Hayano Hoshiko didn’t care about the earlier incident and found a clean spot in the room to sit down. Anze Ryo and Hoshimiya Rin sat down next to her as well.

The three of them chatted and rested on the ground.

As Hoshimiya Rin chatted, she casually took out her phone and glanced at it a few times. A few minutes later, she tapped the screen with her finger and then put her phone away.

"Ding dong!"

A dozen minutes later, the doorbell rang clearly from the entrance hall.

"My package has arrived." Hoshimiya Rin slowly got up, walked to the door to sign for the package, and An Zeliang followed her out. He saw that there were four or five boxes of various sizes.

Thinking of Hoshimiya Rin's usual extravagant and wealthy behavior, Anze Liang asked.

"Hoshimiya-kun, what did you buy? It wasn't a robot vacuum cleaner, was it?"

"No."

As Hoshimiya Rin unpacked the package, she explained.

"This is a robot vacuum cleaner that combines sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping; this is an air purifier; this is a mite remover; this is…"

Wow, they have a pretty complete selection.

Anze Liang was used to Hoshimiya Rin's wealth and was not surprised.

But when Hayano Hoshiko, who was following behind, saw so many packages, a look of shock flashed across her face.

"Hoshimiya-kun, with so many appliances, how are you going to take them home after you're done using them?"

Upon hearing this, Hoshimiya Rin raised her head, looked at the two calmly, and spoke without the slightest hesitation.

"I don't plan to take it back."

"The machines will start up in a bit, we'll rest while they clean the room. After that, these things will be left with Anze. Remember to start them up twice a week. That way, it will be much more convenient if I want to stay overnight again."

As she spoke, Hoshimiya Rin unpacked the package, picked up the robot vacuum cleaner, and headed towards the guest bedroom. Yasuzawa Ryo and Hayano Hoshiko also helped set up the other machines and placed them in the room one by one.

As the machines started up one by one, the three of them were relieved, closed the door, and walked out of the guest room.

Hayano Hoshiko went into the bathroom first to wash her hands.

Because the bathroom was small, Anze Ryo and Hoshimiya Rin waited outside the door.

Just then, Hoshimiya Rin, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly glanced at Anze Ryo without any expression and said inexplicably, "Anze-kun, you didn't go to the wrong room when you went to sleep last night, did you?"

Ok?

An Zeliang was slightly taken aback, then replied, "Don't worry, Hoshimiya-kun, you won't go to the wrong room."

"Oh."

Hoshimiya Rin gave an "oh" and remained silent.

Just then, Hayano Hoshiko came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and Hoshimiya Rin walked in naturally.

An Zeliang stared at the closed bathroom door, a deep glint in his eyes.

The president's IQ is indeed high.

She must have already guessed what it was.

However, An Zeliang was not flustered at all. He had been holding back for too long. No matter what Xinggong Lin was thinking tonight, he was determined to start a war!

The guest bedroom was being cleaned by a robot vacuum cleaner and other modern technologies. After washing their hands, the three of them had nothing to do, so they rested in the living room.

Ten o'clock, not too...

Night.

Anze Liang was thinking of taking a shower first to clean himself up and prepare for the important things to come that night, but at that moment, Xing Gong Lin suddenly spoke up.

"Anze, since we have nothing to do right now, how about we play a couple of games and wait?"

"Hmm, that makes sense! Tomorrow's a holiday, and I don't plan to go to bed too early tonight, so I can play some games."

Hayano Hoshiko immediately echoed in agreement, and then the two looked at Ansawa Ryo.

Where is Anze?

"Since you're all playing, I'll join in too."

The night was long, so they could prepare slowly and take a shower later. Therefore, An Zeliang did not want to spoil their fun and nodded in agreement.

It wasn't the first time the three of them had played games, so they quickly started up the computer and created a match.

A few minutes later, the three of them selected their heroes and entered the game. Hayano Hoshiko and Hoshimiya Rin were on one team, while Yasuzawa Ryo was on his own team. The empty slots were filled by the system's computer AI.

At the start of the game, Hayano Hoshiko and Hoshimiya Rin, still using the dual marksman setup, made their way to the river.

An Zeliang chose an assassin-type hero to jungle, farm gold, and easily outmaneuver the two with his versatile skills.

After completing his basic development, Anze Ryo ventured into the bushes and skillfully approached the lone Hayano Hoshiko.

"Shh-!"

Immediately afterwards, he unleashed a combo attack, instantly killing the character controlled by Hayano Hoshiko, and the screen turned gray.

Anze Liang returned to the city in a dashing manner, while Hoshimiya Rin, who arrived late, could only watch helplessly.

"Sorry, we were too slow to get back on defense."

"Huh? Hmm... I was just looking at some equipment, how did I die!" Hayano Hoshiko finally realized what had happened, and clicked the mouse a few times in frustration, but of course, nothing happened, and she could only wait to be resurrected.

"Again! I refuse to believe that the two of us can't beat Anze alone!"

As she spoke, Hayano Hoshiko's resurrection cooldown ended, and after buying equipment, she rushed straight to the river to search for Anze Ryo's figure.

But as she walked, she seemed to be looking at the equipment again, her character crouching quietly in the grass.

Just then, Anze Liang's assassin passed by again, and a smooth combo once more landed on Hayano Hoshiko's face.

"……Hey!"

Upon hearing the notification sound of being killed, Hayano Hoshiko frowned immediately. As usual, she uttered a few harsh words, and as soon as the resurrection cooldown ended, she charged forward again.

Seeing this, Hoshimiya Rin also spoke up to remind her not to be too impulsive and to take it slow.

Hayano Hoshiko nodded in agreement, but as she walked, she seemed to forget Hoshimiya Rin's words. On one occasion, she even overstepped her bounds and ran under the enemy's defensive tower, where she was killed by the tower!

"It must be because he ate too much today and was too tired from cleaning, so he's not in good condition... Otherwise, the teacher would have draped Anze in gauze several times over!"

Hayano Hoshiko muttered to herself as she clicked the mouse repeatedly, controlling her character.

However, An Zeliang could sense that her operation was much slower than usual, and she was even making some basic mistakes that only beginners would make, clearly indicating that she was somewhat distracted.
