I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

　[Juejin: Automatically triggered in a specific location (dark environment, with only the simulated and the simulator present). If a strong emotional resonance occurs, the emotions of both parties will continue to rise, making the emotional collision more intense. Required lifespan is six months.]

　"Um…"

　In the system space, Chitose Noshiro fell into deep thought.

　These skills are quite interesting, such as "Exile".

　Although it doesn't look very useful, it is definitely a powerful simulation tool.

　If the simulation is turned on and used on the victim, and the victim becomes deaf or mute, then the room for maneuver will become much larger, right?

　After all, this is also a kind of "ability".

　"But..."

　Chitose Noshiro glanced at the remaining life span of her life. Taking into account the daily life span consumed in the past few days, she only had fifteen years, four months and twenty days to live.

　Where to save and where to spend, I feel

　If we really look at it from the perspective of effect and benefit, these features are useless.

　In this batch, apart from "Exile", the only skill that has some value is "Integrity", but it is not a must-have.

　And that "Decision Advance"...

　Chitose felt that he could achieve similar results with his own manipulations. After all, when the mood was right, everything would fall into place.

　Investing a few months to gain a few years...this deal needs to be considered.

　"System, I don't need special features to assist me this time. I want to rely on my own strength, is that okay?"

　[Okay, um... Looks like we'll have to offer new features later. I haven't sold any yet.]

　[Please confirm again whether your support selection is: Big Blind Box - Blank]

　"confirm!"

　This time, let’s start our sweet simulation routine.

　Ch271. Noshiro-san is covered in wounds in the back seat

　Almost all of her memories were about bandages.

　Having said that, you can probably imagine that this is definitely not a very fond memory.

　It seems that heavy is more appropriate.

　It can be said that from the day of the opening ceremony, a story that was destined not to make people laugh when recalling it began.

　That's the way it is.

　……

　Fukuromori Girls' Academy, Junior High School.

　"Chihaya-san! I heard you're running for student council president? Is this true?"

　"Yeah, yeah, I saw the promotional poster. The theme of Chihaya-san's speech is... against school bullying, right? That's amazing!"

　"No, as expected of Chihaya-kun!"

　Chihaya Aine couldn't spare any time during her lunch break.

　Just by sitting still, she was surrounded by countless female classmates.

　All of these reflect Chihaya Aine's status in the class——

　Aine shook her long pink hair and pushed down the black-framed glasses on her nose.

　【I am really popular! 】

　"Ah...hahaha, it's true. And, although I can't say that winning is a sure thing, I still feel like there's a decent chance of winning."

　"How awesome!" Soon there were countless voices echoing.

　[It really is! I never get tired of hearing it! Please give me lots of praise! I spent so much time preparing the promotional posters and speech, and even pulled all-nighters for days straight to finish them!]

　Chihaya Aine straightened her back, and when she smiled, her cute little fangs were exposed.

　But she didn't let her little pride show.

　Aine still cares about her own personality, even though it is sometimes tiring to disguise her true nature.

　But it doesn’t matter, as long as the effect is good, it’s all worth it!

　"I'm going to go give the teacher some materials first. You guys can enjoy your meal."

　Aine stood up from her seat, the paper documents were crumpled.

　"Hum hum--"

　Humming a cheerful tune, today's sunny weather is really suitable for going out for a walk. Do you want to find a friend to get a beauty treatment after school?

　When Aine walked to the back door of the classroom, she discovered a scene that was completely out of tune with this beautiful world.

　In the corner sat a girl.

　Chihaya Aine remembers the other person.

　On the first day of school, she noticed this girl who seemed to be different in the class.

　It’s not that she has six fingers or two heads, but her appearance is very outstanding, the kind of person who can amaze you for a lifetime with just one look.

　She is different because she...

　"Nengdai classmate, are you okay? Do you need to talk to me?"

　"Since I'm going to be the student council president, one of my tasks should be to pay attention to the students who are not getting attention in the class, right? This will definitely increase my support rate!"

　The most unusual thing about the girl named Chitose Noshiro who sits at the back of the class is that she is covered in wounds.

　After saying that, Aine continued to quietly look at Noshiro-san.

　She was looking down at a comic book, a weekly comic book called Shonen Jump that focuses on youth.

　The long silver-gray hair was slightly dry, and only one of the red pupils was exposed while the other was covered by a medical eye patch.

　Just as Aine said, this seemingly difficult-looking Noshiro-san was covered in wounds and bruises.

　Including the Band-Aids on the exposed skin on her face and hands, Aine saw more than four or five in total.

　"Ok?"

　Her eyelashes trembled a few times, but Chitose Noshiro didn't look up at the girl in front of her.

　"Are you... talking to me?"

　That’s what the patched silver-haired girl said.

　"What do you want to talk to me about?"

　"Huh? No, I'm just concerned about my classmates."

　Chihaya Aine took a step back in surprise.

　A year has passed since she started school, and no one has spoken to her in such a cold tone during this year.

　Chitose Noshiro...is the first one!

　"Ah, is that so?" Chitose acted as if she didn't care. She continued, "You want to be gentle to the poor child and act like a good person, right?"

　She hadn't finished speaking yet.

　"What is that... Do you think being a little gentle won't be annoying? Disgusting."

　“Disgusting?” Aine exclaimed in disbelief.

　This is the first time someone has described her like this! Although... this kind of concern with a purpose does seem a bit...

　A bit...disgusting?

　"Yeah, so leave me alone and go mind your own business."

　"Well, sorry to bother you! Noda-san."

　This was their first meeting.

　The conversation was not friendly, nor was it cheerful.

　Aine bit her lip and walked away.

　Only then did Chitose Noshiro put down the comics.

　She looked at Chihaya Aine's hurriedly departing back, and her tense face finally relaxed.

　[Is it...her? ]

　Several months had passed since the simulation began, and Chitose had been tracking, investigating, and studying this girl for a long time.

　[It's a child I haven't seen in Crychic.]

　It's really interesting.

　She looks like a pink puppy.

　She had a premonition that if nothing unexpected happened, she would meet Chihaya again after school today.

　Chitose Noshiro touched the Band-Aid on her face, and there was a dull pain beneath the scar.

　……

　【nausea.】

　"Huh? Am I…am I disgusting!?"

　For the entire afternoon, Chihaya Aine's mind was filled with the word "disgusting" that Noshiro Chitose had said.

　"What the hell is going on?! How could I...how could I be labeled like this?"

　"Haitsuka-san, um..."

　After school, Aine patted her best friend next door, Kyo Haizuka, on the shoulder.

　"What's wrong, Aine?"

　"What do you think of me?" Aine approached Haizuka, her eyes wide open, "Am I disgusting?"

　"It's not disgusting, why do you ask that?"

　"It's okay, it's okay! I have something to do and I'll leave first. Let's go get ice cream together next time after school. Bye, bye!"

　Going shopping and spending time with classmates and friends after school is an important way for female junior high school students to socialize.

　At least that's the case in their country.

　This will help you develop your own small circle and improve your social status.

　Aine actually doesn’t really like doing these things, and most of the classmates in the class are kind and non-utilitarian.

　But it seems that she can't accompany her friends today.

　"Hey! Where are you going?!"

　Haizuka called out from behind, but Aine didn't look back and continued running towards the school gate.

　She saw that Noshiro-san had already walked away.

　"I'm going to...ah, help a classmate! See you tomorrow!"

　Really, Noshiro Chitose.

　You are the first person I have ever met in my life who is so indifferent to me!

　If I can make you my friend, I will definitely be able to successfully challenge all difficulties.

　【The student council president election is coming soon! 】

　As the quasi-student council president, Aine will not allow her classmates to be rejected by the class.

　【Let me help you blend in with everyone! 】

　Ch272. Enthusiasm cannot be extinguished

　Things were a thousand times more difficult than Chihaya Aine had imagined.

　"Why are you following me? Your home isn't here."

　On the small road outside the school, Chihaya Aine blinked at the helpless look on Noshiro Chitose's face.
