It was supposed to be a love simulation, so why are they also players?

Muffled cries echoed in the empty room.

Only you know that some misses, once they happen, can never be recovered.

And she was destined to pay the price for her arrogance.

The story of Ave Mujica is far, far-reaching.

Even if you recognize yourself, you can't reverse the established development.

[Even if you sing the clock in the opposite direction a thousand times, you can't do it.]

【Finally, all you can do is send your sincere blessings. 】

【May Xia Mu be happy. 】

【May you be happy, as he wishes. 】

【the end】

【You have realized your dream, isn’t it wonderful? 】

“Not at all…”

The simulation ends.

The tears on my face haven't dried yet.

The rain is still falling outside the window.

Before dawn, Xiang Meng woke up.

"Xia Mu..."

She still has a chance.

In reality, I won't make mistakes again.

P.S.: Let's end Xiaoxiang's simulation here.

Tomorrow I'll write the Valentine's Day sequel and add the missing part about the band at the end.

Chapter 165 Like Strangers / Silently Staying Together

The worst mistake she had ever made was not recognizing herself and pushing Xia Mu away.

"In the end, I couldn't keep anything except the band..."

Deviating from Toyokawa Shoko's original vision of the most beautiful future, she believed that she and Natsume had become estranged and would never cross paths again.

but.

Xia Mu never changed.

The person who changed was himself. He became arrogant and could not listen to Xia Mu's voice.

The feeling of regret spread and gradually intensified with the rain outside the window.

Even after the simulation ended, Shoko Toyokawa was still reviewing it.

This time, there was something wrong with her play.

Every time at a critical juncture, he made the most wrong choice. His mind was full of prioritizing his own affairs, but he hurt Xia Mu again and again intentionally or unintentionally.

"I'm such a bad guy."

Self-deprecation, aftertaste.

learn from mistakes.

Back to reality, Toyokawa Shoko will be more cautious in treating her relationship with Xia Mu.

Now they are just friends who have known each other for only a few days.

Only Toyokawa Shoko herself knew that she had walked with the boy, formed a band, been lovers, and was only a few steps away from marriage, but they broke up due to differences.

Or it was I who proposed the breakup.

I can't even speak clearly, in order to protect my ridiculous and empty self-esteem...

Honest advice may be unpleasant to the ear but beneficial to one's conduct, and good medicine may be bitter but beneficial to one's health.

【It’s not too late to understand this now. 】

[Entering simulated settlement————]

[Ending achieved: If we never meet again, good morning, good afternoon, and good night.]

[Simulated Rating: A-]

[System Evaluation: One wrong step leads to another. You and he were meant to walk side by side, but you missed your chance. However, the bond between you cannot be broken by your stubbornness. Xia Mu has always been supporting you from behind, and he is willing to sacrifice for you.]

[Ding dong! You and Xia Mu have formed a special bond—like strangers. Wishing you happiness.]

Thanks to this, you get rewarded——

① Assistant Xiao Xiang's magical notebook?!

② Composition skills and band management skills have improved slightly;

③ Xia Mumu's limited edition photobook featuring her in a patient gown at the Shimokitazawa Mental Hospital ×1.

"Xiao Xiang's Magical Notebook?"

[Note: When you feel lost, try writing your questions down in a notebook; you might just find an answer.]

[Note: I was 24 years old that year, and I was caught cheating on the exam.]

Cause of death: No outside draft paper allowed.

[Current progress on collecting the Assistant Xiao Xiang's outfit: 1/5. Collecting the complete outfit will trigger a surprise.]

"Is it really possible?"

【Authenticity guaranteed.】

After taking out a pen and thinking for a long time, Toyokawa Shoko wrote down her question in her notebook:

"Do I really like, care about, and desperately want to possess Xia Mu?"

Ok?

Is there a strange word mixed in?

Realizing that she had subconsciously written something strange, Toyokawa Shoko quickly crossed out the last few words.

After a while.

A line of large characters appeared on Xiao Xiang's magical notebook: "Why not ask the magical conch shell?"

"Where is the magic conch?"

Shoko Toyokawa wrote down a new question.

Notebook—'Why not ask the amazing detective Xia Mumu?'

"What a useless tool..."

How could she possibly bother Xia Mu for such a problem?

It feels like you've spent ages trying to get a single fragment on Pinduoduo, but you still only have 0.01 fragments left.

Shoko Toyokawa didn't expect this thing to come in handy.

When she wrote this question, she already knew the answer in her heart.

I will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never miss Xia Mu again!

Shoko Toyokawa will no longer abandon this feeling that is difficult to express but deeply cherished.

When you fall in love with someone, you may become weak.

But don't be ashamed of this, because it's not really a sign of weakness.

Only those who deeply understand this weakness can truly become strong.

Tonight, Xiang can't sleep.

I took out the book, "Xia Mumu Shimokitazawa Mental Hospital Gown Play Limited Photobook," to look at it.

The messy thoughts also began to stabilize.

The blue-haired girl with twin ponytails only had his figure in her eyes at this moment.

in the coming days.

She wanted more, to be closer to Xia Mu and understand him.

Even if it's just starting from a little distance.

There will be no more self-deprecation, as I have made my mind clear.

If it were Xia Mu, as the simulation showed, he would confess his feelings to me.

She will accept it.

"Oh... I'm starting to have wild thoughts again..."

Now that things have come to this, let’s take a look at Xia Mumu’s photo album.

……

……

[Perhaps, the white moonlight that exists in imagination is the most beautiful. ]

Even if you miss out, you can meet someone better and more worthy.

[The gentle and kind Nijika, and the lovely and charming Wakaba Mutsumi.]

【I will always be with you and walk the road ahead. 】

Happy end.

[Now entering the simulated settlement phase——]

[Ending achieved: The three travel together, but no one is seen as a threat.]

[Simulated rating: Grade A.]

System Evaluation:

Good news, this is a high-end game, and you have great laning awareness and skills.

Bad news, your opponent, Xiaoxiang, was playing very poorly. Even so, you never gave up on him, always doing what you could behind the scenes until the truth was revealed.]

[Ding Dong! You and Toyokawa Shoko have formed a special bond—stay together silently, and may she be happy.]

Thanks to this, you get rewarded——

① Skill "Lightning Whirlwind Slash";

② Assistant Xiaoxiang's High-Definition 4K Photo Album;

③ Composition skills have improved slightly.

Lightning Whirlwind Slash

[Note: Deliver a critical hit with lightning speed.]

【Remark:?,??????!】

"Is this possible?"

just.

"Xiangzi like that is so strange..."

If Toyokawa Shoko did something wrong, Xia Mu would do his best to correct her.

The self in the simulator is still too gentle.

"If Xiangzi were to repeat the same mistake in real life, I would definitely stop her and do my utmost to stop her. Even if it means getting a bad reputation, I can't just sit there and do nothing!"

Now he is the rational sage Xia Mumu!

"Now that things have come to this, let's take a look at Assistant Xiaoxiang's photo album!"
