Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

Rin Hoshimiya's response was simple: "Okay."

It turns out that Nakano Aoi's business was that she went home to have dinner with Yasuzawa Ryo.

Anze Liang didn't come to the club activity in the afternoon, and didn't even send a message asking for leave... It turns out, he was with Nakano Aoi.

pat.

Hoshimiya Rin turned off her phone and calmly placed it back on her desk. Then, she looked at Ayase Mitsuha, who was waiting for her reply, and parted her lips slightly.

"I don't want to go for a walk tonight, Ayase. You should go and rest."

Ayase Mitsuha shuddered slightly... She inexplicably felt a chill emanating from Hoshimiya Rin.

What's wrong with Miss Hoshimiya? After looking at her phone, she seems even angrier...

But at this moment, Ayase Mitsuha looked at the girl's expressionless face, thought for a moment, and didn't dare to ask any details, for fear of provoking Hoshimiya Rin again, so she could only nod and bow.

"...Yes, miss."

After Ayase Mitsuha left, Hoshimiya Rin took the brown-covered notebook out of her bag again.

rustling...

Hoshimiya Rin opened the book, took out a ballpoint pen, turned to the last page, and continued writing down the notes she had made during her lunch break.

"Today, Anze skipped the club activity without a reason."

After writing a sentence, she paused slightly, her ballpoint pen...

Jian made a couple of cursory gestures on the paper, seemingly unsure of what to write next.

A few seconds later, Hoshimiya Rin opened her phone again, opened the picture that Nakano Aoi had posted on her Moments, and then looked at the picture carefully before holding her ballpoint pen and writing again.

After writing down many short phrases, Hoshimiya Rin tore off a blank sheet of paper and copied them all onto it.

Snapped!

With a blank expression, Hoshimiya Rin closed the notebook, put it back, and walked out of the study with the copied pages. She found Ayase Mitsuha, who was cleaning the living room, and handed it to her.

"Ayase, tell the chef that these dishes should never be served in the house again."

“Yes, Miss.” Ayase Mitsuha took the paper, glanced at it subconsciously, and immediately looked puzzled.

Cream stew, chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), pork belly and cabbage crepe...

“Miss, these are all home-style dishes. Are you sure you don’t want the chef to make them again?” Ayase Mitsuha asked.

“Hmm, I don’t want to eat it anymore.” Hoshimiya Rin nodded slightly.

Ayase Mitsuha looked at her, her face full of hesitation, and after a few seconds she couldn't help but ask.

"Miss, we can leave the other dishes as they are, but this cream stew is your favorite. Are you sure you want to remove it from the menu?"

"Hmm." Hoshimiya Rin nodded again, her expression calm, but her tone firm. "I don't like eating it anymore."

“…Okay, I understand, Miss.” Ayase Mitsuha didn’t say anything more, picked up the paper and went into the kitchen to talk to the chef.

Rin Hoshimiya let out a soft breath, just as she was about to return to her bedroom to rest, when her phone vibrated again.

With a furrowed brow, Hoshimiya Rin opened her phone, intending to turn on Do Not Disturb mode, but upon seeing the incoming call, her expression faltered slightly. She pursed her lips tightly and answered the call.

"……dad."

While listening to the phone call, Hoshimiya Rin walked into the bedroom, closed the door, and after a few seconds, nodded and said calmly.

"Yes, I've already had dinner, so you don't need to worry about me... Just remember to rest more while you're working."

Suddenly, as if something was said on the other end of the phone, Hoshimiya Rin's fingers silently clenched her phone for a moment, then relaxed.

After listening to the phone call in silence for a while, she spoke calmly.

"My mother has already told me..."

"Dad, I'm thinking about it seriously. I'll let you know when I have a result."

"Um... um... okay, you go to work, we'll talk again when you're done."

The call ended, and Hoshimiya Rin stood silently in place, looking again at the photo that Nakano Aoi had posted on her Moments, her lips pressed tightly together.

For some reason, she suddenly turned around and walked out of the bedroom, found Ayase Mitsuha, and said to her in a low voice.

"Ayase, I'm going for a walk. Can you arrange a driver?"

"Yes, Miss!" Ayase Mitsuha nodded and was about to leave immediately.

"Wait a minute." Hoshimiya Rin called out to her, adding, "You don't need to come with me, I can go for a walk by myself, and also..."

"You can rest tonight, you don't need to wait for me to come back."

"... "

Inside the small villa, a variety of dishes were laid out on the dining table, and the three people were chatting and laughing happily.

I ate a lot in the room in the afternoon

With plenty of snacks, An Zeliang wasn't really that hungry at the moment. So after eating three large bowls of rice, he put down his chopsticks and let out a long sigh.

"Thank you for the treat. I'm full."

"As expected of Nakano-kun's cooking, I don't want to eat in the cafeteria anymore after eating this."

Hearing Anze Liang's praise, Nakano Aoi smiled happily: "From now on, I will bring you lunch every day, so you don't need to eat in the cafeteria anymore."

"Our Xiao Kui is so virtuous," the wife teased with a smile. "But, with Anze eating your homemade lunches every day, won't he be able to eat other people's food anymore?"

"Hmm...it seems that Anze will have no choice but to marry into our family in the future."

"Sister-in-law!" Nakano Aoi's eyes widened, her face flushed red, and she quickly interrupted her wife.

"I brought lunch to Anze so he could eat healthier... not for any strange reasons..."

"Besides, Anze is a boy, he shouldn't be marrying into the family, he should be marrying me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Nakano Aoi met his wife's mischievous gaze.

What did I just say?!

Nakano Aoi realized what was happening, instinctively covered her mouth, and looked at Anze Ryo with embarrassment.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Clearing her throat, Nakano Aoi lowered her hand, acting as if nothing had happened, blushing nonchalantly as she changed the subject.

"Anze, thank you so much for helping me with the problem today... If I still have any questions tomorrow, could you please hold another study session with me?"

“Of course you can.” An Zeliang nodded with a smile.

Seeing that Anze Liang agreed, Nakano Aoi breathed a sigh of relief, but then remembered something and quickly looked at his wife... After all, she was an elder, and when inviting friends over, one should first ask for the elder's opinion.

But Nakano Aoi was so happy that she forgot about it.

Noticing Nakano Aoi's gaze, the lady smiled slightly and spoke before Nakano Aoi could ask.

"Well, seeing how hard you're studying, I'd like Anze to come more often... Since you've already made plans, just send me a message next time you come."

"Anze, you'd better take good care of my good-for-nothing little Kui."

"Mrs. Nakano is exaggerating. Nakano is very smart; he understands everything immediately." Anze Liang's words were not just polite talk, but a fact.

"That's right, sister-in-law, I'm also very smart, just not as smart as Anze..." Nakano Aoi gently stomped her foot and said in a coquettish tone.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking. How come you two are ganging up on your sister-in-law like this... Oh dear, the child is gone now, he's bullying his sister-in-law with his boyfriend..."

The lady seemed exceptionally gentle in front of Nakano Aoi, acting like both an elder and an older sister. She started making more jokes, covering her face with her fair little hand and making a wronged expression.

"Sister-in-law, you're teasing me again...!"

"I'm not saying anything more this time, I really am not saying anything more this time."

We ate dinner quite late today, and after chatting for a while, it got completely dark outside.

An Zeliang then found a suitable opportunity

He said goodbye to his wife and Nakano Aoi, and prepared to go home to rest.

Before leaving, Nakano Aoi gave Yasuzawa Ryo a lot of snacks, including the milk pudding they had just eaten that day.

"See you tomorrow, Anze."

Nakano Aoi escorted Yasuzawa Ryo to his doorstep, waved to him with her small hand, and said with a smile.

The streetlights cast a warm glow on the girl's soft, fair face.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Nakano-kun." Yasuzawa Ryo nodded, turned around, and went into the apartment.

The elevator wasn't on the first floor today, so An Zeliang pressed the up button and waited.

A dozen seconds later, the elevator doors opened, and An Zeliang was about to get in... but suddenly stopped.

Inside the elevator...

The Lolita girl was standing there.

She was dressed in pure black Lolita fashion today, as if she were going to a funeral. She was still pulling that oversized suitcase, and her face showed a hint of disappointment. If you listened carefully, you could hear her muttering something.

"How could it be gone..."

"So soon...?"

Muttering these words over and over, the Lolita girl looked up at An Zeliang, then slowly walked out of the elevator, pulling her luggage.

crunch, crunch...

The suitcase wheels rolled on the ground, making an unpleasant noise, but the suitcase seemed to be empty today, with no bloodstains. However, it still emitted a very stale and unpleasant smell.

pat.

As she approached An Zeliang, the Lolita girl suddenly stopped, staring at him with her eyes. She waved her small hand, revealing a strange smile, and greeted him with a hint of delight in her voice.

"Good evening, Anze."

“Hey… coming back this late won’t do. Haven’t you heard? The scumbag killer… has started committing crimes again.”

again?

An Zeliang looked at the Lolita girl with some confusion.

The last time he met Officer Matsumiya, the officer mentioned that the "scumbag killer" had committed another crime, and he wondered if it was the same case the Lolita girl had mentioned.
