I said you are all war criminals

[Setting synchronization...Simulation begins.]

At this point, we have finally reached the situation at the beginning of the last simulation.

Hakuno rubbed his hands together and started watching the opening animation.

【Kita is taking a bath. 】

She soaked in her bathtub, sponging her wrists that were exposed above the water.

For Kita, it was an ordinary day like any other. Nothing noteworthy happened. If there was anything special, it was that she saw Ryo-senpai and his boyfriend by the river.

"……Um?"

A question mark popped up above Bai Ye's head.

When did Liang get a boyfriend... No, why is Kita taking a shower in the middle of the night?

【Want to fast forward? 】

As if sensing Hakuno's thoughts, the simulator popped up an option.

Bai Ye snorted coldly, "No!"

So the story continues.

【Kitao stood up from the bathtub and slapped his face hard.】

"Okay, I'll go ask Senior Liang tomorrow to clarify!"

[The red-haired girl's face was rosy, and her red skin, dotted with dew, shone with a healthy glow.]

"But, this must be a misunderstanding, right? How could Ryo-senpai have a boyfriend... I must have misunderstood."

The short import animation ends here.

Kita is standing in the bathtub, and a message pops up on the screen: "Use the controller or use the keyboard and mouse."

Hakuno chose the latter option, just like he had done before. However, unlike a normal game, even right-clicking the same item would produce different effects depending on Hakuno's mood.

"It always starts in RPG mode... I don't mind it though."

After manipulating Kita into getting dressed, Hakuno directed her back to the tub. Judging by the image, the bathwater, theoretically the "Water of the Golden God," wasn't anything special, and Hakuno had no idea what to do with it. However, since Kita could soak anytime, Hakuno simply manipulated Kita to drain the water.

At this moment, the simulator prompted to press the X key to activate "Golden God Vision".

"……What the hell?"

Although Hakuno didn't understand what it meant, he still pressed the X button.

The moment the X button was pressed, the crystal clear bath water suddenly became like the Milky Way twinkling in the night sky, with countless golden threads flowing in the water, interweaving into a gorgeous scene.

"She's quite pretty..."

Hakuno pressed the left button of his mouse, and Kita reached out to touch the golden threads. However, his fingertips passed through them unhindered, as if the threads were merely an illusion.

"Hmm, it seems this is just a perspective used to identify the Golden God's Water... Turn it off."

Press X again to turn off the Golden God Vision, and the world returns to normal.

Hakuno manipulates Kita back to bed to sleep. But of course, just a transition, Kita is out of bed again - the sleeping process is cut off, and Hakuno can manipulate Kita to start the day's work.

"Ryo seemed to have mentioned that the band has a rehearsal tomorrow?" Bai Ye thought for a moment and decided to go to the appointment first. "There's no rush anyway, so let's just have fun."

The night is still long.

The same goes for dreams.

Chapter 8: Yamada Ryo's Simulation

[This may be a joke, or it may be something that happened in real life.]

Yamada Ryo slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that caught my eye was the unfamiliar ceiling.

The cold and hard touch from under her body made her realize that she was lying on something hard.

"Where is...where?"

She struggled to her feet and looked around. In the dim light, she saw a small cell surrounded by cold iron bars. The cramped space was filled with a damp, moldy smell that made her sick. Aside from the iron bed beneath her and a simple toilet in the corner, there was nothing else.

What's this……

"I'm dreaming."

For some reason, Liang felt this way.

She is dreaming.

This is in a dream

...Otherwise, what is this curtain of light floating in front of my eyes?

【Welcome to the simulator. 】

[Start simulation? 】

"It is indeed a dream."

Ryo sighed.

A simulator, a prop that simulates what will happen in the future... Even though she had never heard of it before, she knew what it was. If this wasn't a dream, what else could it be?

Well, let’s dream on.

"Start simulation."

[Simulation begins. 】

The next day, you got up from the bed and found yourself naked. Then, you heard Hakuno telling you to take a shower and change clothes.

After taking a shower, you changed into the clothes you'd left at Shirano's house and prepared to go out. However, you felt a bit numb from drinking too much last night, so you asked Shirano to take you to Starry... You figured it was time to introduce Shirano to Hongxia and the others.

Bai Ye readily agreed to your request. He always gave you whatever you asked for. You even jokingly thought before that he might even pick the moon for you.

“…Is there such a thing?”

I don’t know if it’s because I’m still drunk, but Liang also feels drunk.

Just treat it as if that happened.

You attended band practice. This time, Shiro stayed in the practice room, playing with his phone. Ichiri kept glancing at Shiro, seemingly curious about him. Niji and Kita were focused on band practice and weren't particularly curious about Shiro.

After practice, you formally introduced Hakuno to your teammates. Unexpectedly, not only Nijiya, but Kita also knew that you and Hakuno were cousins. Only Ichiri was surprised.

"Hey? Why does Kita know this too?" Not only Ichiri was surprised, but also Liang.

Ryo had no plans to introduce Hakuno to the band members, just like she had no plans to introduce her parents to her teammates. To put it bluntly, Ryo felt that music was just music, nothing to introduce, nothing to delve into.

If you let strange interpersonal relationships affect the music, it will be more trouble than it is worth.

…Well, whether it was Ichiri, Kita, or Nijiga, none of them were the type of otaku that Hakuno was into, so Ryo could be assured of that. Hakuno wanted the kind of woman who could read trashy manga with him and laugh loudly at the author, but Ryo's bandmates weren't that type of woman.

As soon as we met, Bai Ye said he didn't know much about the band and was just joining you for fun. You were already used to it, but Hong Xia gave you a strange look before speaking to Bai Ye.

"You must be having a very difficult time with this cousin..."

You feel so heartbroken because you secretly deducted 5,000 from your 200,000 budget.

"It's alright," Hakuno said to Nijiya. "By the way, what school are you all from? What grade are you in?"

"Ah, Nijiya, you don't need to tell me. I know you're in the same class as Liang," Hakuno added.

"Not just classmates, but also classmates." Hong Xia corrected.

Come to think of it, when I introduced her to Hakuno, I did say that Hong Xia was a classmate... Ryo couldn't help but mutter in defense, "The class division hadn't been confirmed at that time."

The simulator didn't react to Liang's words, but just continued to advance the plot.

"I'm a first-year student, and I'm in the same class as Ichiri!" Kita actively raised her hand to introduce herself, even taking over all of Ichiri's work.

"Are you also students of Shimokitazawa?" Hakuno asked.

"No, we're from Shuka High School," Kita asked brightly. "By the way, Mr. Hakuno, which university are you from... let me guess, Tokyo Denki University, right?"

You were stunned for a moment because Kita guessed correctly.

"How did you guess that?" You asked before Bai Ye could ask anything else.

Kita stuck out his tongue. "I saw Mr. Hakuno's photo in the introduction to the Department of Neuroscience at Denki University. He was in the front row."

You breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Kita is not Hakuno's stalker.

"...Having a beautiful girl stalker is a good thing for that guy, isn't it?"

Liang was a little angry instead.

Kita was originally his stalker (?), but how come he was almost snatched away by Hakuno!

As if sensing Liang's anger towards Kita, the simulator flashed a few times and updated new text.

After the rehearsal, everyone starts to separate. You say goodbye to Hakuno and secretly start following Kita.

After Xiduo left the live house, you followed her reluctantly. Xiduo was petite and not very noticeable on the street, so you were worried about losing her, but also worried about being discovered by her, so you kept a distance from her.

After a while, Kita walked into a roadside shop. It was decorated in an antique style. The storefront was small, yet it exuded an indescribable sense of heaviness. A plaque hung above the door, inscribed in a flamboyant style: "Hanguangzhai." Looking down, it seemed to be a shop selling art swords.

"What? So you like this kind of thing..." Liang muttered, and the image of Kita in his mind became more vivid. It turned out that Kita, in addition to his rock attributes, also liked swordplay.

However, if you think about it carefully, Kita seems to be a good match for the samurai sword.

Shana, Akame, Otonashi Saya, Ryougi Shiki... they all look very similar to Kita.

"Hmm...according to the comics, a battle is going to happen next, right?"

Liang looked at the simulator and asked, "By the way, is this just going to keep playing the plot? Can't I control it?"

The simulator paused and displayed the window.

Your next steps:

"It's actually self-filled content. I must be dreaming."

For a text game with such a high degree of freedom, the only way to play it is to imagine it. Having tried all the games on the market in the past few years, Liang knows very well that there is no game in the world with such a high degree of freedom.

Well, since it’s just a dream.

Have a wet dream.

Because of the heat of alcohol and the coolness of drunkenness, I filled in the words without hesitation.

[Are you sure about the action of "checking into a room and having sex with Kita Ikuyo"? ]

Click Confirm without hesitation.

Chapter 9: Invention of the Sword and Helmet

"Kita, go study!"

【Yamada Ryo came to invite Kita on a date. 】

"Kita, go learn mechanics!"

【Yamada Ryo came to invite Kita on a date. 】

"Xiduo, you can't be obsessed with women!"

【Yamada Ryo came to invite Kita on a date. 】

Hakuno felt that bringing Yamada Ryo in for the simulation was a wrong choice.

He didn't know what was going on with Liang, but the Ryo in the simulation was a sex-crazed person. She wasn't just dating Kita, she was also dating Nijiga, Ichiri, Hakuno, Seika, and Hiroi...

She is too enthusiastic.

Fortunately, Liang was not just focusing on Kita who was being manipulated by Hakuno. Hakuno was able to let his protagonist learn whenever he had the chance.

However, unlike the rapid learning rate seen when Hakuno manipulated Ryo last time, Kita's learning speed wasn't particularly fast. It wasn't known if it was due to the Golden God's descent, or Kita's simply lack of intelligence. So this time, Hakuno had to find his own self, who had been left alone in the previous simulation, and begin tutoring Kita.

As a result, after three years of high school, Kita did not get into the University of Tokyo, but into Tokyo Denki University... Hakuno felt that it must be the at least two dates a week that harmed Kita, not anything wrong with his own behavior.

Closer to home.

With Hakuno's help, Kita was admitted to the Department of Neuroscience at Tokyo Denki University.
