My Romance Simulation with Them

Nanxiang tried to enter the dating simulation from last time, but found that she was indeed unable to.

This is to be expected. Since everything in the simulator can happen in the future, changes in the initial favorability will naturally have a significant impact on the simulator's predictions of the future.

I didn't feel any regret when I went to Nanxiang; it was just a matter of starting over.

Moreover, a higher level of favorability means a higher starting point!

This first playthrough will definitely lead to a perfect ending!

[Start simulation?]

【Yes! 】

Without the slightest hesitation, Nanxiang immediately chose 'Yes'.

A familiar scene flashed before my eyes.

[Having been reborn for a year, you used your exceptional academic abilities to rise from the countryside to the prestigious Ocha High School in Tokyo, and then decisively won the top spot in your grade.]

[By chance, you learn that a woman named Goto Ichiri secretly admires you. With your exceptional drive, you quickly take action, eager to see who this audacious woman is who harbors such feelings for you, Tokyo's most handsome young man.]

[Goto Ichiri's appearance did not disappoint you. Although her eyes were hidden by her overly long, unkempt bangs, a closer look would reveal that the girl's beauty was like a rough diamond hidden in a mine, ready to shine with unimaginable brilliance after a little polishing.]

[You managed to completely fool the group of high school girls in the band with your exceptional communication skills and persuasive abilities, which are almost unbelievable for a high school student, but in the end, you couldn't continue to tease Goto Ichiri.]

For her, her life was already incredibly dark, filled with inferiority and timidity, and knowing all this, you didn't want to rely on such despicable means to gain her favor.

[But that's enough. Goto Ichiri vaguely believes what you said. Subconsciously, she has already considered you a friend and agreed to teach you guitar techniques.]

The new beginning was indeed completely different.

Unlike the previous three playthroughs where you had to actively get to know Goto Ichiri, this time you can directly start by increasing your friend's affection level.

Nanxiang scrolled down while thinking.

[You and Goto Ichiri agreed on the specific details of learning guitar, but since she also needs to instruct her bandmate Kita Ikuyo, you agreed to practice guitar every day after school in the 'Starry Night' performance hall practice room.]

Great, this is a good start.

Nango Toki's performance in this opening can only be described as perfect.

Not only did she integrate into 'Starry Night' so quickly, but she also didn't interact with the other girls in the band throughout the entire process, and their feelings for her only remained at the level of 'friends'.

This greatly increases the number of areas where we can operate.

At least in this fourth playthrough, I no longer have to worry about Goto Ichiri becoming withdrawn because her bandmates are too close to her.

Including Ryo Yamada, the short-haired blue woman who appears in every playthrough from the first to the third playthrough.

The initial affinity level in this playthrough is not high, and the other party doesn't have a good enough reason to get close to me. It's unlikely that something like in the third playthrough will happen, where the other party dies with regrets and is buried with me.

Simply perfect.

Nanxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The simulation continues downwards.

For you, the guitar is no longer just an excuse to get involved with Ichiri Goto; it's more of a personal hobby. That's why you're exceptionally attentive during your practice sessions under Goto's guidance.

[Your guitar skills have improved by leaps and bounds, already boosted by your LV2 talent. The speed of your progress has not only astonished Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo, but has even secretly drawn the attention of Yamada Ryo.]

You've caught Yamada Ryo's attention.

Ms. Yamada really...

Nanxiang Shi didn't know what to say at this moment.

He really didn't know what he had that made the other person think so much about him.

Or is Ms. Yamada simply someone who values ​​looks?

That's quite possible. After all, in the first three playthroughs of the simulation, whenever Ms. Yamada had a day off, she would go shopping at designer clothing stores and occasionally take him along, giving him a few outfits to wear.

Her generosity is undeniable, making her a true rich woman.

Of course, because of this, she often didn't have enough money for food and would frequently come to Nanxiang's house for meals.

Could it be that Ms. Yamada planned all of this?

No, it shouldn't be that bad, right?

Nanxiang shook his head and didn't think about it any further.

There are no problems for now.

Even though Yamada Ryo has once again come to his attention, the situation is still under control and not as bad as it seems.

[Through practicing guitar amidst the stars, you met Ichiji Hoshika and sound engineer Ms. PA during your interactions.]

Unlike Ms. PA, who wasn't interested in you, Ichichi Hoshika was worried that her younger sister might be at the age to date, given that this was the first boy her sister had introduced her to.

You have caught the attention of Ijichi Seika.

But the way you diligently practiced the guitar quickly dispelled her doubts.

You've won over Ichiji Hoshika's heart.

"......" Nanxiang time.

Let's put aside the simulation for now.

In real life, he definitely wants to have a good talk with Ichiji Nijika about her sister's problem.

Because it is illegal for a small horse to drive a large vehicle.

Moreover, it's a violation of the law by large vehicles.

Chapter Thirty-Two. This option has far-reaching implications.

Although Ms. Yamada's performance remained stable, a 29-year-old single woman named Iji Tomoka, who was about to turn 30, suddenly appeared on the scene.

However, judging from the current situation, the entire simulated situation is still under Nanxiang's control.

However, what Nango Toki was more concerned about was that the main stage for this simulation was not at Ocha High School, but at the 'Starry Sky' performance hall.

Taking the second and third playthroughs as examples, the simulated love story between Nango Toki and Goto Ichiri is basically set at Ocha High School, rather than at the 'Starry Night' performance hall.

It seems this is also a change brought about by the increase in initial favorability – the 'Starry Night' scene can only be unlocked when the relationship with Goto Ichiri reaches a certain level.

He continued looking down.

Your rapid progress has also ignited the competitive spirit among the band members.

[The instrumental skills of Ijichi Nijika, Yamada Ryo, Goto Ichiri, and Kita Ikuyo have improved, but due to their excessive focus on practicing their instruments and bandwork, their overall academic performance has declined.]

You continue practicing guitar as always, and your understanding of the instrument has deepened. Your academic performance has improved due to your fulfilling lifestyle.

What's wrong with this group of people?

Nanxiang frowned. "Practicing musical instruments is fine, but why are these women's grades actually dropping?"

He couldn't quite understand why he couldn't easily balance learning and practicing musical instruments. Didn't his grades actually improve instead of decline?

Nanxiang continued looking down.

As time went by, the band members got used to seeing your back in the practice room. Your passion for the guitar inspired them, and they decided to practice even harder.

[Nijika Ichi, Ikuyo Kita, Ryo Yamada, and Ichiri Goto have improved their instrumental skills.]

[Nijika Ichi, Ikuyo Kita, Ryo Yamada, and Ichiri Goto's grades have dropped.]

Your understanding of the guitar has deepened, and your progress on the instrument has boosted your morale, leading to improved academic performance.

hiss...

This doesn't make sense, does it?

Nanxiang looked at everyone whose academic performance in the simulation was dropping again and again, and then looked at his own attribute panel, which had improved in all aspects.

Improving one's musical instrument skills is certainly a good thing, but it would be even better if it were combined with academic studies.

Not to mention that the girls' academic performance has been declining.

If they continue practicing like this, forget about Tokyo University, the four of them might not even get into a regular university in the end.

Continue reading down in Nanxiang.

Your communication and learning abilities remain outstanding. During your guitar practice with 'Stars,' you resolved many management issues. Similarly, your keen observation skills during daily practice helped resolve many challenges in reconciling the band members, resulting in a better relationship between you and them.

[Nijika Ichichi, Ikuyo Kita, Ryo Yamada, and Ichiri Goto have increased their affection for you; they've become more dependent on you.]

One day, Ichiji Nijika approaches you, wanting to invite you to join the band 'End'.

[1. Politely decline her request; ending the band activity, even without your participation, already fulfills all the necessary elements.]

[Second, she refused, stating that following the older sister next door who likes to drink, act crazy, and play bass seemed to offer a better future.]

[Third, I agree to join. With you joining, the band might even get better.]

[IV. Personal simulation.]

The sudden pop-up option did not surprise Nango Shi or leave him at a loss.

After all, this incident had already occurred during the third playthrough.

In this first playthrough, his main activity area is 'Starry Night', so it's normal for Ijichi Nijika, as the leader of the band, to send him an invitation.

Although I was somewhat curious about who this "big sister next door who likes to drink, go crazy, and play bass" in the second option really was.

But the choices that Nanxiang had to make remained unchanged.

In this playthrough, he still chooses to refuse to join the End Band.

The reason remains the same: a small, traditional band simply doesn't need three guitarists.

The presence of three guitarists was merely a hindrance to the band.

Moreover, Nango Toki still hasn't forgotten the ending he chose during his third playthrough, named 'Full of Regret'.

It was precisely because of his excessive interference that the band eventually disbanded.

The simulation continues.

You politely declined Ichiji Nijika's invitation, telling her that the band already had two guitarists, and three guitarists would be redundant. Rather than joining the band and becoming a burden, you preferred to stand at a distance and watch over them silently.

[Ichi Nijika is very sorry that you can't join, but she also thinks what you said makes a lot of sense. She promises you that she will not let you down, who has been silently watching over you.]
