My Romance Simulation with Them

"It feels like it will be very difficult to complete."

Sitting next to her close friend, Chizuka Nishiki also propped up her profile.

It's obvious with just a little thought.

It's hard to like someone.

It's also difficult to get others to like you.

Moreover, she didn't want a relationship that ended without a clear reason to hurt others.

"There's not much time left."

Perhaps still influenced by the guitar music from Nanxiang, the blonde-haired girl seemed to have some regret in her bright red eyes as she murmured to herself.

And on the other side.

"Thousands of Nishikiki, Inoue Takina..."

Silently repeating those two names in his heart, Nanxiang Shi, having already dealt with a large audience, rubbed his temples.

As one of the many time travelers, he was familiar with these two names.

Chitsuka Nishiki is one of the main female characters in the anime "Lycoris".

Similarly, Takina Inoue is also one of the female protagonists of the anime "Lycorice".

Unlike traditional animation, Lycoris has no male protagonist—it's a yuri anime.

The main storyline of this anime tells the story of a group of Japanese boys and girls known as 'Lycoris' fighting against crime.

The story primarily unfolds from the perspectives of the main female protagonist, Chizuka Nishiki, and another female protagonist, Takina Inoue, depicting Lycoris's daily life.

To put it simply, "Lycoris" is actually an anime about cute girls deepening their feelings for each other, understanding each other, and promoting how wonderful it is for girls to be together.

If that were all, Nanxiang would still be acceptable.

But as mentioned above.

Besides the cute scenes of Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue interacting with each other, "Lycoris" also features other cute scenes.

There are also scenes of teenagers fighting against crime.

I don't remember the specific plot details clearly, but the illegal and criminal acts mentioned here really refer to illegal and criminal acts.

Things like the bombing of Tokyo Tower (Tokyo Tower is also known as the Tokyo Radio Tower), arms dealing, and gunfights with criminals...

Lycoris has everything you can imagine: real gunfights that involve bloodshed.

This is inconsistent with the worldview of the everyday world that Nango Toki currently lives in.

Looking in the direction where Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue had left.

Nango estimated that the so-called 'Lycoris' from the anime probably doesn't exist in this world.

Because in this world, the Tokyo Tower still exists and was not destroyed as it was in the original story.

Similarly, if the profession of Lycoris truly existed...

It's impossible for Inoue Takina to let Nango Toki touch her backpack so easily.

It's worth noting that in the original animation, Lycoris's backpack served a range of purposes, including concealing firearms and providing bulletproof protection.

But when he took the backpacks from Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue just now, he deliberately felt around for a moment.

No bulletproof devices or hidden compartments for concealing firearms were found.

It was just an ordinary, somewhat cute-looking women's backpack.

Nango Toki guessed that in this world, Nishiki Chizuka and Inoue Takina were probably just ordinary girls.

Thinking of this, Nango turned to look at the dating simulator's simulated partner section.

Just as he had thought.

In addition to her two older sisters and Goto Ichiri, the simulation subject has a new name: 'Nishiki Chizuka'.

Enter the detailed status bar when you are in Nanxiang.

[Candidate: Nishiki Chizuki, Status: Admiring]

What kind of favorability rating is this?

Seeing Chizuki's condition, Nango was somewhat surprised.

It should be noted that when Goto Ichiri first started imitating him, he only had a slight admiration for him.

However, Chizuka Nishiki went straight to the maximum, jumping to the 'admiration' level of affection.

My thoughts were churning when I was in the south.

It's clear that Chizuka Nishiki really enjoyed his performance.

The level of 'admiration' you feel for someone, in reality, means that the other person would also be considered your fan.

If this were simulated, wouldn't it be an incredibly lucky start that could be easily won in one go?

How difficult could it be for an idol to date a fan?

A happy ending can be achieved in a simple way.

We can't afford any more accidents, can we?

Thinking this, Nango turned off the dating simulator and turned his gaze to the other side, to the person he cared about more.

......

Goto Ichiri has now fallen silent.

She neither knew nor understood.

Why is it so difficult to ask Senior Nanxiang a single question?

The first time she mustered up the courage was when the store manager suddenly appeared, disrupting her thoughts and making it impossible for her to regain her composure.

The second time she mustered up her courage was when a blonde beauty suddenly jumped out from outside and blocked her throat, preventing her from speaking.

I feel like a character in a novel.

Behind her was an author with a wicked sense of humor who constantly wrote to hinder her progress and relentlessly bullied her.

Goto Ichiri was so numb that he didn't know what to say.

The saying goes, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane with each subsequent attempt, and eventually be exhausted with each subsequent attempt."

The courage she had treasured in her heart had truly been used up at this moment.

She has always been a socially anxious person.

It's already quite remarkable that someone like her could muster the courage twice.

So... I guess I should just forget about it?

She let out a small sigh, and an indescribable feeling of self-destruction welled up in her chest.

What connection could Nango-senpai possibly have with the memories in my mind...? Someone like me...

Just as she was thinking with her head down.

Suddenly, a sound came from beside my ear.

"Goto-kun."

"Hey?"

Goto Ichiri looked up in surprise, only to find that Nango, whom she had been longing for, was already standing in front of her.

"You must have had something to say to me just now, but you were interrupted."

"Huh...? Me...?"

The sudden turn of events left Goto Ichiri speechless.

She couldn't help but look at Nanxiang Shi in front of her.

His clean-cut face showed no emotion other than concern; he simply turned his gaze over.

But even that was enough for Goto Ichiri.

Moreover, Goto Ichiri also discovered it.

It seems that Nanxiang Shi noticed every time he retreated or hesitated.

The store manager interrupted him like this the time.

I felt the same way when I hesitated and didn't know whether I should listen to his open-air performance.

When you feel lost, hesitant, and at a loss.

Nanxiang always reaches out and gives himself a push when he is most timid and confused.

This time... too...

Looking at the outstretched palm of Nanxiang.

The socially awkward girl opened her mouth.

This time she didn't hesitate, lowered her head, and spoke in an extremely clear voice:

"I... I have something I want to say to Senior Nango."

Courage welled up in my once parched heart once more.

She grasped Nanxiang's hand.

She would never hesitate again.

Chapter 71. Goto Ichiri Can't Refuse (4100 words!)

The 'Starry Night' performance hall is not large and is only moderately well-known in the neighborhood.

Therefore, the work at 'Starry Night' is not actually that busy.

Goto Ichiri's daily routine consists of simply standing behind the bar and serving drinks to customers; that's all.

But today... seems a little different.
