My Romance Simulation with Them

Her fair and delicate toes intertwined restlessly.

Is it... is it that I'm disliked?

She couldn't help but let her mind wander.

There's nothing you can do about being disliked, right?

Goto Ichiri thought to himself.

Because starting tonight, she felt something was inexplicably wrong.

There are always some inexplicable impressions, or rather, memories, that flow into one's mind.

How could someone like me, someone like myself, actually marry Nango-senpai...?

While it may be called fantasy, it's still going too far.

Thinking of certain things from her memory, Goto Ichiri, her face flushed red, leaned back on the sofa, covering her face with a pillow.

twist your body...

Twist...

Chapter 45. Shall we eat together?

The next morning at six o'clock, Nanxiang started running to exercise.

In the simulator, I died before Ichiri Goto in two different playthroughs.

Although both deaths were natural, from a certain perspective, it can actually indicate that there are defects in one's current physical condition.

So he decided to get up early to exercise without hesitation.

Start from your home and then run several kilometers outwards.

After going around in circles, when I returned to my rented room in Nanxiang, I glanced at the simulator screen.

Your physical condition has improved slightly; your current exercise level is 6.

well.

Nanxiang nodded in satisfaction after taking a sip of water from the small refrigerator.

Although he was already outstanding enough, no one would refuse to strive to be even better.

This is only the first day of training; he will become more and more perfect in the future!

"Keep it up. You're a 9 in looks, and you'll become the perfect older brother in the future."

Nango, satisfied with his self-reflection in the mirror and his determination to continuously improve himself, began preparing today's bento.

Nanxiang casually reached into the refrigerator and skillfully laid out the chicken breast.

First, use a slanted knife to slice the chicken breast into pieces about 4 to 5 millimeters thick.

Meanwhile, marinate the chicken breast with salt, garlic, and black pepper in precise proportions, seal it with plastic wrap, and set it aside.

Then, while waiting for the chicken breast to marinate, prepare some side dishes.

"Stewed dishes...stewed potatoes seem like a good idea."

Nanxiang muttered to himself, then quickly took out the potatoes, peeling and rolling them with great speed and dexterity.

Perhaps this is the ability of LV4 cooking skills. With just a glance, one can instantly come up with all the processing methods and cooking techniques for countless existing ingredients, and even sense the quality of the ingredients.

It must be said that LV4's cooking skills are definitely at a professional level.

Even among professionals, he would be considered top-tier.

Even Nanxiang Shi, who hardly ever cooks, can easily handle ingredients that she has never handled before.

This also made him curious about Goto Ichiri's actual culinary skills in the simulation.

It seems the other person possesses more than just the talent of a guitar hero.

She also seems to have her own unique talent in cooking.

Set up a hot oil pan, and then drop the marinated chicken pieces coated in batter into it.

The tempting oil coats and rolls the chicken pieces.

First, fry slowly at medium oil temperature. After frying for a while, increase the oil temperature and fry again for ten seconds. This will make the outer skin crispier.

After the bento boxes are completely prepared—

You've made a perfect home-cooked bento box, rated 4.3.

A system notification sounded.

When I arrived in Nanxiang, I couldn't help but glance at it.

The chicken nuggets were cooked to perfection, with an enticing aroma emanating from between the pieces of meat.

The light brown potato chunks are stacked like square building blocks, their edges slightly translucent under the light, radiating an enticing warmth.

Judging from its appearance, this bento box looks like a very ordinary family bento box.

But... I really want to eat it! I have this inexplicable craving! Why do I crave it so much?

"call--"

Thanks to his long-standing habit of self-discipline, Nango Toki managed to suppress his strong desire to taste it.

He exhaled and closed the lid of the bento box.

The main purpose of this trip was to see the specific effects of 'Nango Ichiri's Happy Cooking Techniques', and this was also a bento box that Ichiri Goto was going to try.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Since you have hands on your own body, why can't you just eat yourself after you want to?

After picking up the lunchbox, Nanxiang glanced at the time.

"It's almost time."

It didn't take long to go to school from my home in Nanxiang by tram to Yucha High School.

He nodded and greeted the students from Ocha High School who greeted him along the way.

Nanxiang sat down in his seat and waited until noon.

I wonder what the perfect home-cooked bento box, which has a system rating of 4.3 out of 5, actually tastes like.

There's not much to say about the morning's classes.

For Nango Toki, who has a LV4 learning talent, an academic ability value of 8, and has already previewed most of the knowledge of Ocha High School.

He listened briefly for a while, but had already memorized the key points. Then he continued to wait for noon in his seat.

But perhaps it just goes to show that things don't always go as planned.

Just before the last class at noon was about to end.

Just as Nango was getting ready to head to the central courtyard, he was stopped by his math teacher.

"Nango, after class, go to the principal's office first. Principal Okano seems to have something to talk to you about."

Principal Okano is looking for him?

I stopped in Nanxiang.

"It should be about waiving tuition fees. Nango is truly remarkable."

When he saw Nanxiang, he was a little confused. The female math teacher who taught him explained something to him with a friendly smile.

She, as an older single female teacher, was most attracted to young male students like Nanxiang Shi who were both handsome and academically outstanding.

"Oh, I see. Thank you for explaining, teacher."

Upon hearing these words, Nango realized that Ocha High School did indeed waive tuition fees for students with excellent academic performance.

However, the emulator suddenly popped up recently, making him almost forget about it.

This is a good thing.

It's important to know that tuition at Yucha Private High School has always been expensive, so reducing or waiving the tuition will also alleviate a significant financial burden on Nanxiang's family.

Although I really want to see for myself what the 'Nanxiang Ichiri's Happy Cooking Skills' are like.

But tuition fee reduction is also very important.

After a brief moment of thought, Nanxiang made his decision.

He took out his phone.

Tokyo's Number One Handsome Boy: I'm sorry, Goto-kun, something urgent has come up, and I might not be able to go to the courtyard for the time being. (Puts hands together in apology)

He's probably dead: Ah...it's okay.

Tokyo's Number One Handsome Boy: So I left the bento box on the bench in the courtyard. If you don't mind, Goto-kun, you can take it. Just let me know what you think after you've tried it.

He's probably dead: ...Okay. Thank you for your hard work.

Why am I the one who has worked so hard?

No matter how you look at it, I'm the one causing you trouble, right?

Looking at Goto Ichiri, who even spoke in a somewhat humble tone.

Nanxiang couldn't help but shake his head and close LINE.

Hopefully, with more communication in the future, this young girl will gradually change.

After placing the bento box on the bench in the courtyard, Nango Toki breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the principal's office.

What he didn't know was that after he turned around, a pink-haired figure huddled behind a pillar at the back of the school building timidly peeked out.

"Ugh—I thought about so many embarrassing things yesterday, I'm really too embarrassed to meet him face to face today."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Hiding behind the pillar, Goto Ichiri bowed several times to Nango Toki, who had already gone far away.

Then, with some curiosity, she walked over and picked up the lunchbox that Nango had placed on the bench.

Is this the bento box made by senior student Nango?
