My Romance Simulation with Them

The response remained completely devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Then came the sound of someone drinking their beverage.

“Hongxia will be able to adjust her emotions quickly.”

These words sounded like a word of comfort from someone who is usually quiet and reserved.

"I know."

Nanxiang nodded.

The two fell silent again.

After a while, the sound came out.

"I'm going downstairs now. It's cool and airy enough. Thank you."

"..."

She didn't answer, but just leaned on the railing and waved without turning around.

After a while, I heard the footsteps disappearing from my ears.

"Did you lose to loneliness?"

There was not a trace of regret in her voice; it was more like she was talking to herself.

Aren't you disappointed?

In a daze, Yamada Ryo seemed to hear such a voice in his ear.

How could I not feel regret?

Yamada Ryo turned his head and calmly looked out onto the rooftop.

The outer edge of the rooftop is lined with towering skyscrapers.

Behind the skyscrapers rise layers of mountains.

A cold wind was blowing from the other side of the mountain.

The words of Yamada Ryo, who was alone on the rooftop, were taken away.

"I haven't seen you kneel down on one knee and propose to me yet."

"I haven't seen you earn money to support the family and our children."

"You still love me even though you haven't seen me get old yet."

How could I not feel regret?

How could I not feel regret?

On the rooftop, Yamada Ryo leaned against the railing and pulled his scarf up around his neck.

"It's so warm."

Close your eyes.

Her voice remained unchanged.

Chapter Thirty-Nine. This is just too rock and roll!

"I've already sent Ichiri back first; the practice room can't be left unattended."

"Mm. Thank you, Kita-chan."

Nijika Ichi nodded slightly to Kita Ikuyo, who had followed her, and then looked at the Tokyo street scene in front of her.

Traffic was heavy and neon lights were flashing.

Her emotions seemed much more stable, and she lowered her gaze with some guilt: "I'm sorry, Kita-chan, I knew you also..."

"..." Ikuyo Kita.

Kita Ikuyo didn't reply, but shook her head, though she tightened her grip on Ichiji Nijika's hand.

"No need to apologize, Ijichi-senpai."

yes...

Why apologize when you already knew the outcome?

Even if she mustered up the courage this time, the answer she would probably get would be the same, right?

The two people leaned against each other side by side.

They remained silent for a long time.

Street scene in Tokyo during winter.

"It's good that I didn't have any expectations."

"Yes."

"It's good that I never had any expectations."

A somewhat distant, murmuring yet relieved voice drifted out.

......

"So that's how it is."

In reality, feeling the surge of memories of Nanxiang in her mind, she huddled under the covers.

He originally thought that this simulation would most likely focus on career and secondarily on romance.

But I never expected it to unfold in this way.

The success of her early career path paved the way for Ichiji Nijika's confession later on.

Moreover, if you look at the details in the career line above, it's not hard to find out.

The girls who left the band all had some degree of affection for her.

Nango recalled that the simulated Ichiji Nijika had told him about her dreams many times.

She hoped that the end of the band would bring her fame, and that she could use that opportunity to transform her sister Ichiji Hoshika's 'Starry Night' performance hall into a place that shines as brightly as the band's stars—so that her mother in heaven could also see the brilliance of 'Starry Night'.

And it was with Nango's help that this dream came true.

Therefore, she felt admiration and gratitude towards Nanxiang.

And it is not unnatural for love to arise from this admiration.

Kita Ikuyo and Yamada Ryo were no exception.

Two-dimensional female protagonists are all difficult to win over.

But they are very sensitive at heart.

Show them kindness, and they will reciprocate.

So, it has evolved into this state.

What will become of the once united and cohesive band?

I couldn't help but think about it when I was in the south.

But soon, he shook his head again.

I guess nothing will change.

What bands fell apart, or what stories are about good ships and good knives?

It's highly unlikely that this will happen.

Iji Chikuri is caring and considerate towards others in the summer; Kita Ikuyo is always warm and friendly; Yamada Ryo is aloof and elegant; and Goto Ichiri appears timid but is actually strong inside.

They wouldn't do something foolish because of extreme emotions.

This incident may have some impact, but I'm sure they'll be able to recover quickly and continue their band life.

Whether it's Ichiji Nijika, Kita Ikuyo, or Yamada Ryo, they won't stop there.

They are strong, always have been.

Nanxiang then refocused his energy on simulations.

Goto Ichiri feels extremely guilty about causing this situation. You comfort her and tell her not to worry about it.

Because if we treat them carelessly and perfunctorily, it will only make them suffer more later.

And you have confidence in them; they are very strong, always have been.

As you might have imagined, Ijichi Nijika quickly recovered and returned to the band.

But whether it's your imagination or not, you seem to notice that every now and then, she looks at you with a more ardent and tender gaze than before.

Even if you catch her, she'll still dare to look you back openly.

She has never given up, and perhaps she never intends to.

During an interview on a famous music program, when the host asked the band members if they had anyone they liked, they all answered affirmatively.

"Now, the next question is from a fan."

"As we all know, the members of the band are all young women in their early twenties. I wonder if any of you have a favorite?"

As the host spoke, he extended the microphone toward the band members who were accompanied by Nanxiang Shi.

What surprised the host was that it wasn't just band founder Niji Natsumi who had someone she liked.

Even Kita Ikuyo, Yamada Ryo, and even Goto Ichiri, who is often timid in front of the camera, have expressed that they have someone they like.

"That's really surprising."

The host didn't put the microphone away: "So all four of you already have someone you like? Would you mind revealing their names?"

"Well..."

Nijika Ichi, Ryo Yamada, Ikuyo Kita, and Ichiri Goto exchanged glances.

Their eyes secretly shifted to Nango Toki, who was chatting with the program crew members next to him in the audience.

The person I like...
