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

He wants to make a little heart shape.

[In the following days, you quit your part-time job at Angel Cafe and devoted yourself wholeheartedly to your creation.]

Occasionally, I would also help out in the bands of Su Shi, Hong Xia, and Xiang Zi.

【During this period, Toyokawa Shoko also came to see you. 】

[If the assistants are full and you are short on time, the blue-haired girl with twintails wouldn't mind being your assistant.]

[Even so, it still does not affect the relationship between you. ]

"If you have time, please come and see us sometimes. We'll always reserve a front-row seat for you at Ave Mujica's performances. It's yours." Toyokawa Shoko's words practically expressed her feelings.

I understand, their friendship is beyond measure!

[And over on Hongxia's side, a small problem arose...]

[The girl named Goto Ichiri wants to meet you, but she is too embarrassed to express this thought.]

[The pink-haired girl with social anxiety couldn't hide her thoughts from the sensitive Hongxia. In order to uncover the girl's inner thoughts, the archangel Hongxia's mother in Shimokitazawa came to ask for your help.]

You readily agree.

[Rehearsal room at the live house "Stars"]

"I'll leave Pochi-chan's care in your hands, Xia Mu." Hong Xia left with the Liangqichao team and Miss Guiqulaixi, leaving them alone.

[When surrounded by people, Goto Ichiri may experience social anxiety, avoiding eye contact, speaking haltingly and hesitantly, and having difficulty being understood.]

"If you get along for a long time, you should get used to it little by little."

Xia Mu can understand that.

I can be considered as half a student of Director Tansho.

I also had some experience in Shimokitazawa Psychiatric Hospital.

Responsible for being studied.

It's okay. Even though Ichiri Goto is socially anxious and afraid to engage with the outside world, she still longs for change to some extent.

She longs for friends and a fulfilling campus life like everyone else.

So, she chose music and picked up the guitar.

【Just like now, she wants to see you. 】

"Hello, yes, yes... is this Mr. 9527?" Hiding in the mango box, Goto Ichiri didn't dare to come out, and could only look at you through the gap.

【Your voice, she is very familiar. 】

"9527... Oh, that time I called customer service for Xiangzi."

Playing as a substitute for Xiaoxiang, you can become stronger by being Hakimi's customer service!

He remembered.

It turns out that the two had already been connected, but they were strangers at the time. Even though it was a chance encounter and only a one-time connection, Xia Mu was able to treat this timid, inarticulate, and socially awkward girl with gentleness.

Inadvertently, it touched her on the other side.

【Goto Ichiri longs for and hopes to interact more with you like you. 】

[She hadn't made the call yet, and she had no good reason.]

[Until the time was right and the girl had a reason, she dialed the phone with hidden joy.]

[I want to hear some voices, to talk a little. This small wish shouldn't be too much.]

If we met in real life, a girl with a dark personality like her probably wouldn't dare to act... It's just a phone call, so it won't be a big deal...

【But--

On the other side, the person who answered the phone was customer service representative No. 9527, Toyokawa Shoko, who was originally at her desk.

"Mr. 9527? Sorry, miss, we don't have that person here. I'm customer service number 9527. If you have no further questions, let's end this call." The pink-haired girl felt devastated after receiving this response.

【Why did I become another person?! 】

【hang up--】

【At that time, Goto Ichiri turned into snow-white ash and burned completely.】

[Could it be that... Mr. 9527 from last time was also her own imaginary friend? ]

[That call wasn't even made...]

【Is everything just a figment of my imagination? 】

"No! Mr. 9527 must exist!" She cheered herself up, believing you were real.

【Until now, she recognizes your voice.】

【It won’t be wrong, it definitely won’t be wrong! 】

After your debut performance that day, she huddled inside a mango box, not having the courage to speak, and could only watch you leave.

Fortunately, Hongxia is a girl who is good at observation. Through some small details, she quickly got the answer - Goto Ichiri cares about you a little, but doesn't dare to take it further.

【So, this scene happened now.】

[You are here on a commission to untie Yili's knot.]

"Yes, I was number 9527 at the time. I was filling in for a friend, not a regular customer service representative. Nice to meet you, Yili. Just call me Xia Mu." You squatted down, looking at the shaking mango box on the ground.

"If you have any troubles, you can always tell me, because we are already connected." As you said this, you placed your palm on the edge of the box, as if caressing a girl.

Chapter 186: Continuing from Winter, A Lifetime is Long

"Really?" The girl's soft whisper reached you and was captured by you.

"Really? I mean what I say. Isn't it normal for friends to help each other? If you can't do it, I'll just be a good girl." You promised solemnly.

Swear by integrity and keep your word.

"Hmm... Thank you so much for talking to a lowly ant like me!" The overly excited girl stood up and opened the mango box, but her balance was unstable and she flew over.

Fortunately, you were there, and you caught Goto Ichiri before she was about to fall horribly.

"What happened—" Hong Xia, hearing the noise outside, anxiously pushed open the door. She got a few words out before they stopped. She looked at the scene where someone, presumably Goto Ichiri, pushed you to the ground, chuckled, added, "I didn't see anything," and closed the door.

[The expression on Yili's face changed from confusion to shyness to distorted panic!!!]

["Ahhhhhh—" She hurriedly stood up, avoiding your gaze, her cheeks flushed crimson.]

"It's the unique roar of the wild beast ancestors. It's loud, very loud."

"I hope Ichiri isn't hurt..." You didn't care about that, you were just worried about the girl.

Your heart is as pure as the winter snow in Kitazawa. How could you have any improper thoughts about your friends?

[Your name is Xia Mu, and you are deeply in love with Hong Xia Mama.]

"I'm fine. If you hadn't caught me... I'm so sorry, so sorry. I'm going back now..." The occasionally confused girl was somewhat annoyed. She had finally managed to meet Mr. 9527 in person and even made a new friend, but this had happened.

[Goto Ichiri feels very guilty and doesn't want to cause you any trouble.]

"Don't go, Yili. This isn't your problem. Just like in novels, even the heroine sometimes stumbles. In other words, you're the irreplaceable heroine in the story of how we met. So, please don't let this bother you. I don't mind. Rather, I'd rather you ask me for help more often." You used a simple example to stop the pink-haired tracksuited girl from escaping.

"Let me reintroduce myself, Xia Mu, I'm Desu, a future famous novelist who wants to bring everyone love and peace!" You give Goto Ichiri a thumbs up.

Look at my empty space more.jpg

That year, we all watched the TV series, hoping that Kuuga would beat Gurongi to death.

【This is the beginning of friendship and the beginning of trust. 】

[Even for someone like her, is it really possible? Is it okay to live like this? ]

Would you say to her, "Please leave everything to me"?

Obviously, there's more to it than that.

[Closing her eyes in the summer air, wanting to be forever caressed by the gentle breeze, only wanting to look at the blue sky, is this her willfulness? ]

So, she must take action!

"I'm Goto Ichiri, and I want to... I want to make friends! I want to form a band with everyone!" Finally, the socially anxious girl followed your lead and bravely expressed her true thoughts.

[Outside the door, Hong Xia's mother smiled but said nothing, knowing that your action would definitely solve Yili's problems.]

【That's great.】

[Soon, winter arrived.]

Your first book, "The Story of Xia Mumu," has a cumulative word count of 114.514 million words. Congratulations on the official completion of the first volume, setting a new record for the year of 2025. It's gone viral online, and its popularity is growing! Growing! Growing!]

[This is also due to the efforts of two or even three assistants.]

Even the original black reader, Shiina Riki, was impressed that he hadn't made a mistake.

It's that time of year again—Christmas, a holiday beloved by children.

[At her sister's suggestion, Ichichi Hongxia gave you a brand new typing keyboard.]

[Nagasaki Suyo gave you a hand-knitted scarf. Wear it and you will feel warm.]

Director Koji Tadokoro dressed up as Santa Claus, emerged from the washing machine, and delivered a 5090 graphics card to you.

"Wuhu, take off~"

Look, what is a surprise?

Everyone is very caring.

[As a return gift, you gave the first edition of the physical book "The Story of Xia Mumu" to the ones you care about the most.]

"Yes, I am the embodiment of beauty and wisdom, heroism and chivalry!"

On this Christmas Day, Nagasaki Motoyo, Toyokawa Shoko, and Ijichi Nijika all extend invitations to you at the same time. Please make your choice.

【① Go on a date with Su Shi and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere!】

Selecting this option may trigger a special story CG with Nagasaki Motoyo, titled "Continuing from Winter, Life is Long."

[②Spend Christmas with Xiangzi and have a life conversation.]

Selecting this option has a chance to trigger a special CG scene with Toyokawa Shoko: "What you love is your life."

【③ Follow Hongxia to the starry sky and spend Christmas with everyone from the band who ended, as well as Xingka-nee, the drunkard Hiroi Kikuri-nee, and Ms. Pa.

This will trigger a special CG scene: "Chaos Amidst the Stars, the Helpless Shopkeeper, the Worried Rainbow Summer Mom, the Drunken Kiku-san, and the Ever-Changing Star Lord Xia Mumu."

"①②③! Because I'm a time management master!"

It is not a single-choice question, but a combination of multiple-choice questions.

This was not a problem for Xia Mu at all.

[Six, host, you are a fucking genius, discharged!]

【The mechanism is like you, divided into three time points to accompany your friends. 】

【daytime--

In the park, you meet Toyokawa Shoko. Without a word, the girl takes your hand. Time is running out, and all she wants to do is cherish every moment she spends with you.

[Besides the band, there's another thing I love, and it's right in front of me.]

She is very content.

[The special story CG "What you love is your life" is included and can be viewed at any time.]

【Lunch——

You followed Hongxia to Fanxing and had a meal with everyone in advance. It was so delicious~]

[Night——

You spent your final moments with Nagasaki Suyo.

This was her request. She had other things to do during the day, so she scheduled it in the evening.

"Xia Mu..." The girl put the scarf on your face with her own hands, then reached up to touch your cheeks, which were both cool and warm.

After only a moment, Nagasaki Suyo put her hand down.
