Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

After all, there were still people in the room.

Chizuru Yukimura was carrying a lot of things, and the packaging was exquisite. It was clear that she had spent a lot of money and effort on them. It would be unreasonable for him not to show his support!

Dongyue Feng smiled demurely, ignoring the teasing remark, a stark contrast to her openness online.

Anze Liang glanced at Fuyutsuki Kaede, stepped aside, and said with a smile, "Sister Chizuru, Sister Fuyutsuki, please come in."

"Hmm, Xiao Liang, I bought you some fruit on my way here. I'll go to the kitchen and cut some for you..."

Yukimura Chizuru took off her shoes, picked up her things, and headed towards the kitchen. But after taking two steps, she saw a calm-looking girl who had already stood up in the living room to greet them.

Ok?

Why is there a beautiful girl in my brother's house?

Chizuru Yukimura's smile froze slightly, and she subconsciously rubbed her eyes, thinking she had misread it.

Then, she heard the sound of a bathroom door opening, and a tall woman in a nightgown, rubbing her eyes, came out and spoke in a familiar tone.

"Anze, have you finished eating? I feel like the ochazuke (rice with tea) isn't filling enough. Maybe we should think about what to have for lunch in advance—"

Hayano Hoshiko stopped abruptly, silently halting in her tracks, looking at the two extra women in the living room with a puzzled expression.

"Anze, who is this?"

"Xiao Liang, who are these two?"

Yukimura Chizuru also asked at the same time.

Their voices overlapped, and Yukimura Chizuru and Hayano Hoshiko exchanged a glance, their smiles turning into forced, insincere ones.

Unexpectedly... her dear brother gave her such a big surprise!

"Xiao Liang, you really are hiding a woman at home!"

And they even hid two at once!!

"Ahem, Sister Chizuru, you've misunderstood. Please sit down, let's sit down and talk."

Upon seeing this, Anze Liang invited Chizuru and Fuyutsuki Kaede to sit down first. Then he asked Hayano-sensei to go to the kitchen to make tea and cut some of the fruit and snacks that Chizuru had brought to place on the table.

After all, Chizuru and her sister had come all the way from the University of Tokyo to see him, so they should at least show some basic courtesy.

With everything prepared, Anze Liangcai began his introduction.

"Chizuru-nee, this is Ms. Hayano from my school, who teaches English. And this is Hoshimiya, the president of the psychology club I joined."

“These two days were my days off, and we played games together last night. We played a little late, and I was worried that it wouldn’t be safe for them to go home at night, so I let them stay overnight. Anyway, my apartment is big enough.”

An Zeliang's explanation was very thorough, and after listening to it, Chizuru's forced smile finally disappeared.

"So this is ah…"

Yukimura Chizuru then introduced herself and Fuyutsuki Kaede beside her, and then continued with a smile.

"Mr. Hayano, Ms. Hoshimiya, thank you for taking care of Ryo at school."

“I just brought back a lot of local specialties from Tokyo. Take some with you when you leave. If you like them, I’ll send some back later and have Xiao Liang give them to you.”

An Zeliang was initially a little nervous.

But now it seems that Sister Chizuru is...

In front of outsiders, she still acts like a proper older sister, speaking and acting like An Zeliang's parent, with a very upright attitude.

Meanwhile, Fuyuki Kaede, who was sitting to the side, probably knew that it was inappropriate for her to interrupt in this situation, so she just smiled and listened quietly without saying a word.

"no, I'm fine!"

Upon hearing Yukimura Chizuru's words, Hayano Hoshiko quickly shook her head in refusal.

“Anze has always been an excellent student, and I don’t usually need to take care of him. In fact, sometimes Anze even wants to take care of me.”

Facing Yukimura Chizuru, Hayano Hoshiko unusually showed some restraint, and her words were very polite and courteous... She looked somewhat like a girlfriend meeting her parents for the first time.

Hoshimiya Rin, who hadn't spoken much since this morning, also changed her previous taciturn attitude. She neatly folded her hands on her skirt, looked calmly at Yukimura Chizuru, and slowly responded.

"Ms. Chizuru, you flatter me."

"It was my initiative to invite Anze to join the club, so I should be the one who is honored."

"Oh, you two are too kind! And Hoshimiya-kun, you're about the same age as Ryo, so please don't call me Chizuru-san, it sounds a bit old... Just call me Chizuru-nee, like Ryo. As for me, I'll just call you Rin-chan."

Chizuru Yukimura picked up the snacks on the table and cheerfully shared them with Hoshiko Hayano and Rin Hoshimiya.

"Come on, let's have something to eat. I'm also very curious about Xiao Liang's performance at school. Let's take this opportunity to have a good chat."

Upon hearing this, Hayano Hoshiko and Hoshimiya Rin naturally agreed.

Seeing that the four women were about to start chatting, and that he was the one they were chatting with, An Zeliang wisely stood up.

"Chizuru-nee, have you had breakfast yet? I'll make you two some tea-soaked rice, you can chat and eat at the same time."

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Liang."

"... "

Soon, two bowls of ochazuke (rice with tea) were served in front of Yukimura Chizuru and Fuyutsuki Kaede.

After chatting, the four of them gradually became familiar with each other, and the reserved atmosphere lessened considerably. Yukimura Chizuru and Fuyutsuki Kaede started chatting while eating, while Hayano Hoshiko and Hoshimiya Rin ate snacks on the side, occasionally responding to a question or two.

Of course, most of the time it was Hayano Hoshiko who responded, while Hoshimiya Rin still spoke very little, only saying something faintly at crucial moments.

At first glance, the four women looked like a family, while An Zeliang seemed like an outsider.

But if you listen carefully... you'll find that the four women's conversation always revolves around An Zeliang, as if some special intelligence agency is exchanging special intelligence.

After leisurely finishing two bowls of tea-soaked rice, the four women's chatter finally gradually subsided.

"Phew—I'm full."

Chizuru Yukimura stretched, stood up and moved around a bit, and then she continued.

"Xiao Liang, it's the weekend today, how about we do something fun?"

"An interesting activity?" An Zeliang paused for a moment, not really having any ideas.

"...How about the five of us play games?"

Hayano Hoshiko's eyes suddenly lit up as she took the initiative to make a suggestion, as if she had thought of something.

It was a rare opportunity to meet An Zeliang's family, so she naturally wanted to showcase her strengths and give them...

To leave a good impression on us.

As for playing games... Hmph, after this period of training, Hayano Hoshiko felt that her skill level was at least that of a pro player, or even a professional player, compared to Yukimura Chizuru and the other two newbies!

That dazzling display of skill would surely leave Chizuru and the other two speechless.

Then she developed a strong liking for me, and then...

As Hayano Hoshiko imagined that scene, her heart couldn't help but flutter with excitement.

"Games are fine too, but what kind of games?" At this moment, Fuyuki Kaede also showed a curious expression and asked.

“Three thousand heroes!” Hayano Hoshiko responded immediately.

"Huh? What is this??"

Yukimura Chizuru blinked, somewhat confused.

Fuyuki Kaede also looked curious.

"Sister Chizuru, haven't you heard of her?"

Hayano Hoshiko was a little surprised, then she took the initiative to go to the computer, turn it on, skillfully opened Three Thousand Heroes, and began to introduce the operation and general gameplay to the two of them.

The gorgeous interface, the beautiful characters, and the not-too-difficult rules... Yukimura Chizuru and Fuyutsuki Kaede were also intrigued.

"Let's play this then!"

Yukimura Chizuru made the decision, but then hesitated when she looked at the three computers on the table.

"This game seems to require one computer per person? Can five people play it on three computers? Do we need to connect a mouse and keyboard or something?"

Neither of them plays games much, so the questions they asked seemed a bit silly.

"Yes, we do need one computer per person."

Hoshimiya Rin, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly, took out her phone and pressed a few buttons, and then calmly said.

"Sister Chizuru, please wait a few more minutes, the computer will be here soon."

"...Hoshimiya-kun, did you just order two computers right away?"

"It's okay, as long as Chizuru-nee has fun."

Hoshimiya Rin nodded, her words as calm as ever.

Chizuru was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected this seemingly aloof girl to be so generous.

"Thank you so much, Rin-chan. I'll buy you some delicious food, drinks, and fun things to bring to your house when I get back."

"You're too kind, Chizuru-nee." Hoshimiya Rin remained extremely polite, even respectful, as if she were facing her own older sister.

The group chatted for a while longer, and during this time, Hayano Hoshiko used the three computers to play a simple computer battle with Yukimura Chizuru and Yukimura Chizuru, letting them familiarize themselves with the controls and try out which hero they liked.

As they taught, the twenty-odd minutes passed quickly, and Hoshimiya Rin's two computers arrived.

She bought the highest-spec laptop and the most professional and best gaming chair. In addition, she also considered the size of the desk and bought an extra large computer desk.

Put two computer desks together, arrange the computers in order... it has to be said, it looks like a five-player gaming room.

How do we divide into teams?

Yukimura Chizuru sat at the table and asked casually.

"The four of us will be on one team, and Anze will be on his own," Hayano Hoshiko replied quickly, creating a match and adding all five players. She then chose her favorite hero, Icarus, ready to show off her skills.

Sufficient preparation.

"Hmm? Xiao Liang is on his own team? Isn't it a bit too much to let him fight four against one?" Dongyue Feng asked with some doubt.

“How could that be!” Hayano Hoshiko replied without hesitation.

"This game was developed by Anze himself. He's much better at it than us. If we don't let him take on four opponents at once, how can you two newbies have any gaming experience?"

"Huh?" Yukimura Chizuru was slightly taken aback.
