Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

"Just you wait, you old hag! I'll make sure Anze leaves you!"

"Then you can go wandering with your sister! I'll be the first one to get pregnant with Anze-kun's child!"

After uttering those harsh words, the woman turned and left, gracefully getting into a red sports car and driving away with a roar.

The lady stood at the door, quietly watching the red sports car drive away.

However, the gentleness in her eyes gradually faded, turning into a fierce ruthlessness.

Memory ends.

My wife will never interfere with my having mistresses, but if any mistress dares to threaten my position, she will make sure she can never speak again.

[For example, the blonde woman who came to provoke us earlier—the wife had her kidnapped and then personally rendered her speechless.]

You know everything that happened, but you don't care. Because the death of one or two lovers with whom you have no significant vested interests or emotional connection has no impact on you, and you won't cause trouble for your wife because of it.

After the blonde woman disappeared, you and your wife tacitly acted as if nothing had happened.

[This day]

You've graduated high school.

You have successfully gained admission to the University of Tokyo, which you had been preparing to attend for a long time.

[By this time, you have become a rising star among Japan's wealthy elite thanks to live streaming platforms.]

"I finally got into the University of Tokyo."

An Zeliang closed his eyes, rubbing his temples, which were aching from absorbing a massive amount of memories, with his thumb, and sighed.

"I never imagined that he would develop live streaming into such a powerful force in just over a year."

"Although his wife's help played a part, he is still very capable on his own. He truly is resourceful."

An Zeliang was deeply moved.

It must be said that my wife's help was indispensable in this process.

Without his wife's background and financial support, although the simulated personality could still make money, it would never be smooth sailing, and he wouldn't have made as much money.

The reason why the simulated personality knew that his wife had killed his lover but didn't care at all was because his wife was very capable.

He really couldn't do without his wife's help.

"but."

"Although my wife is very gentle and virtuous, she is indeed a terrible woman."

Yasuzawa Ryo recalled how his wife saw the blonde woman off with a gentle expression, and then saw her off again with the same gentle expression... Truly worthy of being the sister-in-law of a yakuza boss.

An Zeliang was genuinely afraid that one day his wife would become unhappy and send away the simulated personality, thus ending the simulation altogether.

However, this is obviously impossible.

Because of his resourceful and intelligent simulated personality, he is currently able to tame his wife.

This is probably one of the reasons why a wife can willingly be a housewife and not care if her husband has a mistress.

Ultimately, having one's own strength is the most important thing.

Slow down.

The simulation continues.

In the coming period, in order to better align with the market, your live streaming platform will increasingly incorporate anime and manga elements.

You provided some songs for the female streamers on the platform to use during their live streams.

[Among them, the Pure Land of Bliss, combined with otaku dance, became an overnight sensation, greatly increasing the traffic to your live streaming website.]

[You also took the opportunity to start selling figurines, anime-themed clothing, used stockings, etc... priced two or three times higher than the market price, yet they still sold like hotcakes.]

The female streamers exclaimed with delight, "It's so easy to make money off anime/manga fans!"

Just when your anime and manga business was booming, something suddenly happened.

A young female live streamer contracted a sexually transmitted disease, but she concealed her condition and even sold her used clothing, resulting in a customer contracting the disease.

Upon hearing this news, you were furious and immediately banned the female anchor.

You repeatedly emphasized to the other female anchors that they should maintain their integrity, seek medical treatment if they have any health issues, and that we are a legitimate company, not a brothel.

The female livestreamers on the platform also felt the situation was serious and were extremely worried, fearing they would lose their lucrative and easy jobs.

Just as you were preparing to handle this public relations issue, you discovered that those perverts online actually thought that this incident proved that the products your website's streamers were selling were authentic and genuine, and as a result, even more people bought them.

[Your company's business actually improved because of a negative news story]

You were completely bewildered for a moment.

Memory ends.

An Zeliang was also dumbfounded.

"Is it really that twisted?"

What are the ingredients in this...?

That's a bit too outrageous.

After some time, in order to increase efficiency and profitability, you begin to invest heavily in the development of AI technology.

[You're thinking about how AI can replace live streamers in the future, chat for them, avoid public relations incidents like the ones before, and even save a lot of money.]

So you put more effort into AI technology.

During your university years, you and Hoshimiya Rin were classmates. You've maintained contact with her for over a year, occasionally sending her gifts or treating her to meals.

[You never pursued Hoshimiya Rin because you knew her family background; they definitely wouldn't tolerate your flirtatious nature. So you only treated her as a friend and a connection to build a relationship.]

During your university years, you casually invested in a TV series starring a minor celebrity and even discussed the script with him late at night.

After discussing the script with the young star, you returned to school only to find that your classmate, Hoshimiya, had found you.

[Hoshimiya-san tells you that Tamamo-san is dead.]

[It's the murderer who killed her parents...]

[Rin Hoshimiya sadly told you this news. But you only frowned slightly.]

An Zeliang's pupils suddenly contracted.

It should be available on Tuesday! Tuesday! The day after tomorrow!

Chapter 73, Section 72: Presented in Court, Simulation Ends

Tamamo-no-Mikoto died.

Upon hearing this news, An Zeliang became somewhat nervous.

What happens in a simulation will definitely happen in reality.

Tamamo-san might really be killed!

With this in mind, An Zeliang focused intently on the following simulation.

We must find out who the murderer is!

The simulation continues.

You were somewhat surprised to hear of Tamamo's passing, but only briefly; you didn't feel much grief.

You don't have any particularly deep feelings for Tamamo, even though she was once one of your lovers.

You helped Tamamo Yuki back then simply because she was a member of the club. Helping her would increase your popularity with other members of the club and pave the way for your future.

So, even though Tamamo Yuki was your lover, you never went to see her again after you went to university, and you didn't even contact her.

In your own words, it means that Yuki Tamamo's investment return rate is too low, and you don't want to waste your time on useless investments.

You comforted Hoshimiya Rin, improving your relationship somewhat, and then continued investing in the TV drama. You didn't investigate Tamamo Yuki's case, since investigating it wouldn't yield any results for you.

"This guy... is too cold-hearted."

An Zeliang frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with the resourceful personality.

Although his analysis was correct—solving the case of Tamamo Yuki's murder wouldn't benefit him much—his rational use of former friends, even lovers, as tools for personal gain was truly unsettling.

He is indeed very smart, but his intelligence is too rational. He has a purpose in everything he does, even towards his friends, lovers, and family. This kind of personality is too extreme.

Although this kind of personality often leads to great achievements.

However, precisely because of the rationality of the simulated personality, it is virtually impossible to find the truth behind Tamamo's death through simulated memories.

All that An Zeliang knows at the moment is that...

Tamamo was murdered during her freshman year of college.

She was killed by that murderer who killed her entire family...

An Zeliang felt heavy-hearted.

Recalling the simulation, Tamamo always wore a frog costume, carrying a bunch of little frogs, looking adorably silly. Thinking about how she always blushed, unconditionally trusted him, and always said "Anze-kun is right"... Anze felt increasingly uncomfortable, and his feelings towards the resourceful personality worsened.

however.

The simulation continues.

A few days later, under the organization of Hoshimiya Rin, you held a funeral for Tamamo Yuki.

Because Tamamo-sachi had no other relatives, not many people attended the funeral; only some former classmates and you were there.

The reason you came is mainly because of Rin Hoshimiya's invitation. You also want to connect with Rin Hoshimiya, and this is also an opportunity.

The funeral has begun.

As you all stepped forward to offer flowers and words of remembrance, the usually aloof Hoshimiya Rin's eyes welled up with tears when she saw the photo on Tamamo Yuki's tombstone.

[Aoi Nakano cried at the funeral.]

Finally, Junichi Watanabe took his leave; he was the most grief-stricken person present.

You vaguely remember Grandpa Watanabe; he had been helping Tamamo-kun in need.
