Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

Anze Liang didn't notice Nakano Aoi's actions, and continued eating a pudding: "Speaking of which... your sister-in-law doesn't seem to be home today?"

"My sister-in-law has been very busy lately... She's been leaving early and coming home late the past few days, probably because of some work problems," Nakano Aoi explained, her brows furrowing unconsciously, seemingly somewhat resistant, but she didn't say anything more.

An Zeliang nodded slightly, also recalling some things from the simulation.

He remembered that his wife had been busy with club-related matters these past few days.

The incident where the second-in-command sent people to install listening devices in his home must have completely severed the relationship between his wife and the second-in-command. So now, the struggle between the two is gradually intensifying, and their methods are naturally escalating as well.

Especially the second-in-command, who was originally a treacherous and ruthless person, now that the facade has been torn off, he has resorted to all sorts of despicable means, such as assassination and poisoning, to constantly fight with his wife.

It even went so far as to send assassins!

An Zeliang recalled that during yesterday's simulation, at times, because his wife's subordinates were not on guard, his wife seemed to have been injured...

An Zeliang swallowed the pudding in his mouth and asked the question.

"Nakano-kun, do you have a first-aid kit at home?"

"Yes, there is, it's in the bathroom. What's wrong?"

Upon receiving this news, An Zeliang shook his head slightly.

After so many simulations, he knew the location of some things in the villa even better than Nakano Aoi. Besides the location of the first-aid kit, he also knew that there was a hidden compartment in the wardrobe of the wife's bedroom where some private toys were stored.

Asking the question is mainly a way to give oneself an excuse in real life as to why one knows the location of these items.

"Anze, are you hurt anywhere?"

"Well, I accidentally scraped my finger just now," An Zeliang casually made up an excuse.

"Oh? Is it serious? I'll go get the first-aid kit right now!" Nakano Aoi said with concern, immediately getting up to fetch the first-aid kit.

"No need," An Zeliang waved his hand and said, "It's just a minor scratch, it's already healed."

Nakano Aoi blinked, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, but... Anze, we just got home, can we stop studying for now?"

Nakano Aoi continued, twirling a strand of hair that fell over her shoulder with her fair fingers.

“Hmm…we can do something else like we do during the holidays, like playing Three Thousand Heroes or drawing Jokers…” Nakano Aoi said, talking about the various activities they usually did together. As if she had made up her mind, she suddenly clenched her fair little hand into a fist and waved it in the air.

"Anyway, whatever Anze wants to do, I'll go with you!"

Kui's cheeks were flushed, and her expression was very serious.

"Anything is fine? Then what about games about having babies?"

Chapter 174, Section 172: The Wife is Back

Hearing the slightly teasing response beside her, Nakano Aoi was slightly taken aback. She turned around with a blush on her face and called out in a soft, coquettish voice.

"Sister-in-law!"

"What do you mean by 'childbirth games'... I'm talking about the really ordinary games that friends play together."

An Zeliang also looked up and glanced at the bedroom door, revealing a hint of surprise before politely greeting him.

"Mrs. Nakano, you're back."

"Hmm, good afternoon, Anze." The lady greeted him softly with a slight smile.

Today, she had tied all her long hair up high, casually pinning it behind her head with a delicate and understated short wooden hairpin. A few strands of hair had probably fallen down during her movements, hanging loosely around her neck, complementing the small and dense pearl necklace.

The gray-purple women's short suit jacket is open, revealing a pure black off-the-shoulder top underneath, while the custom-made suit trousers perfectly outline her long and shapely legs.

Clearly, the wife went upstairs immediately upon arriving home, without changing into her pajamas as usual.

With a radiant look in her eyes, the wife glanced at An Zeliang and then looked at Nakano Aoi with a hint of reproach.

“Xiao Kui, you should have told me in advance that you were bringing guests back. As an elder, I should naturally make preparations to entertain them beforehand…”

"It's alright, it's alright. My visit today was too sudden. If we're talking about being impolite, it's that I didn't even bring a gift for my first visit. I feel really bad about that," An Zeliang said with a smile.

In Japan, it's customary to bring a gift when visiting someone's home, so his polite remarks were perfectly acceptable.

"Not at all, Xiao Kui and An Ze are good friends. Just let me know if you want to come over. You don't need to bring any gifts." The lady covered her mouth and smiled.

"Sister-in-law, because I didn't know how to do some questions today, I asked Anze to come over to our house for a study session or something... and I forgot to message you beforehand," Nakano Aoi quickly explained.

"Oh, I see. When I got home just now, I saw a pair of unfamiliar shoes in the entryway. It was indeed a bit scary."

She smoothed the stray hairs behind her neck, her tight black inner layer swaying slightly with the movement, a gentle smile still on her face, and continued speaking softly.

"Xiao Kui, you must remember to send me a message in advance next time, at least give your sister-in-law some time to get ready. That's how you show respect to your guests."

"Yes, sister-in-law, I understand!" Nakano Aoi nodded obediently.

An Zeliang smiled and exchanged a few polite words in return.

After so many simulations, he knew his wife all too well.

The wife is currently in a period of struggle with the second-in-command, so she must have sent people to protect Nakano Aoi, but she has hidden it very well and Nakano Aoi has not found out.

On the surface, her words were a rebuke to Nakano Aoi, but in reality, she was using a blaming tone to remind Nakano Aoi that she must tell her before bringing people home, also out of concern for Nakano Aoi's safety.

It's just that with a stranger like him present, it's not easy to speak too clearly.

"Sister-in-law, you must be tired after just getting back. You should go and rest. I still need to study with Anze." Nakano Aoi tried to push his wife away.

open.

"Is Xiao Kui trying to get rid of her sister-in-law?"

The wife deliberately feigned a hint of disappointment and teased, "Xiao Kui just got a boyfriend, and she's already cutting ties with her sister-in-law? I understand, I'm not sad, I'm leaving now..."

Nakano Aoi's face immediately turned red, and she quickly interrupted her wife.

"Sister-in-law! You, please stop joking with me. Anze and I are just... just ordinary friends."

"Besides, even if he were my boyfriend, I wouldn't abandon my sister-in-law..."

"Alright, alright." The lady affectionately patted Nakano Aoi's head, and then moved to go back to her room. However, her left foot touched the ground and then immediately left, as if she couldn't muster any strength.

"...Xiao Kui, before you start studying, could you go to the bathroom and get the first-aid kit for your sister-in-law and bring it to the bedroom?"

"Yes, of course." A hint of worry flashed across Nakano Aoi's face as she subconsciously looked at the lady, but the lady was wearing a suit jacket and trousers, which covered her skin completely, so she couldn't see anything.

"Sister-in-law, are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, I just accidentally scraped my ankle when I parked the car." The wife shook her head, her expression somewhat unusual.

"Abrasion...?" Nakano Aoi was taken aback, turned to look at Anze Ryo, and looked at him with some confusion.

"Anze also scraped his finger and asked me where the first-aid kit was..."

"Oh? Is that so... Is Anze's injury serious?" the wife asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I've fully recovered."

"It's okay."

The woman had a smile on her face and showed no sign of anything unusual.

But a hint of doubt flashed through my mind.

What a coincidence?

Normally, the wife wouldn't think much of this coincidence.

However, just a few days ago, the subordinates sent out sent a background check report—no record of An Zeliang practicing shooting was found.

So, where did he train his marksmanship? And why did he lie about the training location?

Of course, it's also possible that An Zeliang used a pseudonym to train in Hawaii.

But why would a high school student from an ordinary family deliberately use a pseudonym?

An Zeliang seems to have too many secrets that cannot be investigated.

“Boys often get bumps and bruises, it’s normal… Well then, I’ll go back to my room to rest now. Xiao Kui, remember to bring me the first-aid kit.”

"Okay, sister-in-law." Nakano Aoi turned around and greeted her, "Anze, please wait inside for a moment, I'll be right back."

Tap, tap…

clap clap clap...

The bedroom door closed, and soon, two different footsteps walked in two different directions, gradually fading away.

An Zeliang also let out a soft breath, feeling much more relaxed.

Seeing that Nakano Aoi wouldn't be back for a while, Anze Liang thought for a moment, then took out his phone and continued editing the website launch update.

After reviewing it and finding no problems, he sent it out.

Of course, considering various practical factors, he did not promise two episodes a day for all animations like in the simulation, but promised one episode a week. With animation production software, this is quite simple to achieve and also conforms to the broadcasting habits of Japanese animation.

The moment the news was released

In an instant, hundreds of comments appeared.

"As long as the author can update the animation once a week, I'll build a home anywhere on the spot!"

"Is the creator sure they're going to release this level of animation every week? Or is it just a gimmick to attract viewers, something they'll just fudge and then forget about?"

"Wow, one update a week! Has the author finally found a team and is he finally going to work himself to the bone?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just give me the website address and then take my money!"

"... "

An Zeliang glanced at the messages, replied to a few people about website building and weekly animation updates, then opened the private message window of Hexagonal Snowflake, thought for a moment, and sent a message.

"Snowflake, there's an offline fan meeting for the Lord of Mysteries anime coming up soon. If you have time, could I invite you to come along?"

Since it was a short time and most Japanese office workers were still at get off work, Yasuzawa Ryo put away his phone after not receiving a reply.

A few minutes later, Nakano Aoi returned to the bedroom, bringing with her a box of playing cards.

After playing card games for a while, the two of them actually started learning.

Yasuzawa Ryo already knew all the high school material by heart, so teaching Nakano Aoi was no problem. Nakano Aoi wasn't stupid either; she understood immediately after a few pointers.

Soon, the already limited amount of homework was all finished.
