I am your deceased love sustenance 1

As soon as Kyomoto Haizuka fell asleep, Chitose began preparing for today's simulation.

Time is running out and one year of life is still too short.

[This system will provide help before simulation, the help is as follows:]

【Please select your family background:】

[The Chaebol's Daughter: Fifty Years]

[Daughter of the Upper Class: Twenty Years]

[Middle-Class Girl: Ten Years]

[Daughter of the Lower Class: One Year]

[Daughter of the Wanderer: Year Zero]

【Birth Big Blind Box: One Month】

The price of birth blind boxes has increased? Ha!

But I still choose the blind box! Chitose feels that this time I will definitely win!

In reality, Chitose squeezed Kyomoto's little hand. She didn't know how long it would take before she could see her sister again.

In the end, I still can’t bear to give up this sweet softness.

[Please select your talent (three talents will be randomly refreshed each time to choose from)]

[Photosynthesis: Can survive by basking in the sun. Required lifespan is ten years]

[Durui: Under certain conditions, you can acquire the skills of the simulated object. Required lifespan is five years.]

[Qiu Hai: When you're alone in the middle of the night, you're more likely to become the target of random killers or other criminals, and there's a high chance you'll be inexplicably stabbed to death. Required lifespan: zero years.]

"Do I even need to choose? You've already told me how to die! System, you're really making me cry."

Choose! Qiu Hai!

Please confirm again whether your support choice is: From Big Blind Box - Qiu Hai

confirm!

[Before the simulation begins, the system would like to remind the host again, in the simulation...]

"I know, I know very well, I'm ready!"

Chitose's chin rested on Kyomoto's head, and the warm touch made Chitose's eyes narrow naturally.

"Any living thing would feel fear if attacked or hurt, but that doesn't happen in a simulation! It's all fake!"

It’s fake, it’s all fake!

[Excellent! Correct. It's excellent that the host was able to adjust in time.]

Can I really adjust? Maybe.

If a person's concept can be easily adjusted, it is no longer a concept. The only thing Qiansui can do is to convince himself as much as possible.

If Chitose does something unpleasant, she will still feel sorry for her behavior after the simulation is over.

Things that have been cultivated since childhood are difficult to discard, but in order to survive!

Noshiro Chitose, go...try to be more relaxed!

Let your life span return to that of a normal human being!

【Simulation starts】

[Looking forward to the host's better performance and a more qualified lifelong regret]

"I try my best!"

The light screen in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Qiansui's consciousness slowly sank.

Chitose's stress was reduced a lot when she thought about the first thing she would see after the simulation was over, her sister sleeping in her arms.

"I wonder if Fengchuan next door likes my cooking skills. If I can find someone to work with, then working won't be boring anymore."

There was a recruitment advertisement for a customer service position at a drinking water company posted on the wall on the street. Chitose thought that if he gave it a try, he might actually be able to get accepted.

With this thought in mind, she fell into a deep sleep.

The room with the curtains closed was flooded with orange light. The two sisters huddled together on the sofa. The world fell silent again. That was how it was.

Ch12.Have we met somewhere before?

My name is Takamatsu Deng, I’m 26 years old... and I’m a corporate slave.

It's been over a decade since my junior high band, Crychic, disbanded, but I've more or less... still not gotten over it.

Ever since Xiaoxiang disbanded the band that day, I have never...never joined any girl band again.

Wouldn't this be weird in Girls' Generation?

Maybe, but ninety-nine percent of girls in bands eventually return to ordinary lives.

Although the paths I took to get here were different from theirs, we ultimately ended up in the same place.

We have all become tiny cogs in the social machine.

It's just... I don't think I'm fitting into this machine very well.

Even though we are all just screws, I often feel the awkwardness of my existence.

I have looked up at the starry sky alone countless times, and longed for the world light years away. I know they are far away from me, but the planet under my feet is even farther away from me.

Do I belong here?

I have asked myself this question countless times.

Always alone, always floating in the air.

Well... maybe in this life...

That's all I am.

……

Awaha Co., Ltd., located near the west exit of Akabane in Kita-ku, Tokyo, is a company that is inseparable from stone.

It doesn’t cover a large area, it’s just a small four-story building.

Takamatsu Tomo, who works here, is the company's stone inventory manager.

She is responsible for recording and managing stone inventory and ensuring the accuracy of inventory data.

In fact, Deng couldn’t say how much he liked this job.

It's just that doing this job isn't boring, the pay is good, and she can take some strange-shaped little stones home every day.

In the past few years since he started working, Gao Songdeng has filled his rented house with various small stones.

Most of these are scraps that should have been discarded, or strange rocks found in the grass on the way home from get off work.

Stones, all stones...

My job is to record stones, and after get off work I collect stones. Most of my dreams are about finding watermelon worms while picking stones in the grass in high school.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Ordinary employee Deng Takamatsu will work here for the next fifty or sixty years of his life.

Until retirement.

Or, maybe before she retires, the company will be taken over by other companies and go bankrupt.

The struggle for the crown prince has always been like this, no one can say for sure.

"call--"

Today is November 7th, the beginning of winter, and Deng came to work at the company as usual.

As usual, Deng greeted a colleague at the front desk whom she was familiar with but whose name she couldn't remember, and then went upstairs to her most familiar job position.

There are two positions in this small office, but it has been unable to recruit anyone due to the economic downturn, lack of new forces, boring work content and average salary.

The lamp worked alone in such a closed and quiet office for several years.

dong dong——

Someone knocked on the door of the office after a long absence. Even with her eyes closed, she could tell that it was her boss who wanted to trouble her with something.

"Please, please come in!"

Gao Song, dressed like an urban beauty, adjusted the hem of her skirt nervously. She didn't like wearing this outfit. It was inevitable to feel stuffy, and what was worse was that it was very embarrassing.

After working for many years, Deng still can't get used to the work uniform and feels that he is out of tune with ordinary office workers.

Only by returning to the little world she built can she heal her distress.

"Takamatsu, you'll have a new colleague soon. She should be arriving at the company soon. Remember to guide her well."

The neat and efficient Ms. Kira came and left quickly. After giving a few brief instructions, she hurried back to work.

"I…okay."

A newcomer? What kind of newcomer would he be?

Maybe this newcomer can't stand this weird colleague and finally resigns.

Deng shook his head, trying to put all distracting thoughts behind him.

Exiting the office, she walked down the corridor covered with gray-brown office carpet toward the tea room.

Drinking coffee... and watering the potted plants in the pantry...

These two things are two of Deng's only three ways of rest and entertainment in the company.

Another form of entertainment is collecting stone scraps from work.

As usual, Takamatsu Deng poured himself a cup of American coffee.

The coffee in the tea room was not tasty at all, as bad as the water used for hot pot, but she had become accustomed to the taste, just like she was used to working alone, going to work alone, going home from get off work alone, and sleeping alone.

There are occasionally a few other colleagues in the tea room on the second floor of the office area, but today there was no light on at all.

"Everyone, are busy."

While she was thinking under the light, coffee liquid slipped out from the corner of her mouth. She tried to wipe it with a tissue but was attracted by the strange noise coming from the utility room next to her.

It looks like someone is taking something, or like someone is... moving something?

But isn’t the utility room full of unnecessary files and documents? Old employees usually don’t have the time to look through them.

"It's so weird."

This was the first incident this month that made Takamatsu Deng feel that it was contrary to her normal daily routine.

Although this was also very ordinary, it gave Deng the long-lost time to daydream.

[Perhaps there is a corporate spy inside who stole the documents...]

【Or maybe it was an old employee cooking instant noodles in there? 】

[Is there anyone who uses this as a bedroom to avoid the cost of renting an apartment?]

Ah, the last time my mind was so active was a month ago when I was struggling with the supermarket promotion of choosing two out of three.

Deng knew that she should go back to work now, but halfway through she felt something guiding her.

【If you want, go and take a look. 】

Anyway, she had already finished today's work when she was bored yesterday, so it wouldn't be a big problem even if she slept in the office until the end of the day.

While she was hesitating, she had already touched the door handle of the utility room, but at this moment the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

A girl came out holding a stack of documents. The documents were piled so high that they blocked the girl's view and prevented her from seeing the light.

As expected, the two of them failed to dodge in time and collided directly with each other.

"oops!"

"Well…"

Screams and papers and documents flying all over the sky.
