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

Su Shi, you are the challenger!

The operation of my hands was not affected at all. It is indeed very convenient to use the computer to play Xia Mu's Mingchao account.

Xia Mu himself, on the other hand, received a request from a friend and hurriedly went out.

"I'm here for an interview."

"An interview? I'm sorry, Xia Mu doesn't need a second assistant. Su Shi, please go back."

As for assistants, Toyokawa Shoko alone is enough.

"Xiao Xiang, did Xia Mu say that? I won't give up until I get his answer."

Nagasaki Motoyo isn't stupid.

What should be held onto is Xia Mu's hand; once held, it can never be let go.

Let's stay together forever.

"Then please make yourself at home. The black tea is over there."

Toyokawa Shoko does not reject Nagasaki Motoyo.

just.

In some respects, she won't give up easily.

"Yes, I know. This is the flavor I bought for Xia Mu last time. It's his favorite flavor."

"..."

Pretending not to hear, Toyokawa Shoko focused intently on helping Xia Mugan Mingchao.

I just used 78 pulls in the Jinxi Pool to get a character named Anke. It didn't appear on the pool interface, so it must be very rare.

She could already imagine Xia Mu returning and praising her.

In the rising steam of the black tea, the air between the two seemed to freeze.

In a simple world, one savors tea; in another, Xiangzi takes the place of a liver.

It seemed calm on the surface.

"Xiangzi, tell me, if you had several chances to predict the future, like in a simulation game, what would you choose?"

The keyboard sounds stopped abruptly.

This was a test by Nagasaki Motoyo.

Since she had encountered Toyokawa Shoko, she wanted to verify a hypothesis.

"I think I will definitely not make a choice that I will regret."

Toyokawa Shoko was greatly alarmed, and her fingers tightened suddenly as she typed on the keyboard.

"Let's get straight to the point, you're a simulator player too, right, Xiao Xiang?"

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly turned her head and met Nagasaki Motoyo's knowing gaze.

The renowned detective Su Shi had already seen through everything—the flustered fingers, the evasive eyes, and the obvious wavering when the topic was brought up.

Soft-hearted Xiao Xiang, he fell for the trick as soon as he was tricked.

Good dish.

"What simulator?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Xiao Xiang~ You're not careful enough. When you lie, don't look away. Also, when I brought up this topic, your hands obviously flinched."

Detective Motoyo Nagasaki is in action!

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

Toyokawa Shoko forced herself to remain calm.

"Because I was once a simulator player, just like you, Xiao Xiang. You've changed, changed a lot. It seems like you've become the same Xiao Xiang you were in CryChic, the one who was so gentle to everyone. But I know that the gentleness you have now is reserved for Xia Mu."

"That's right..."

Toyokawa Shoko didn't want to talk about the simulation.

She never won.

She won in her career, but lost her husband.

again and again.

She lost to the AI ​​player Mutsumi Wakaba, to the AI-like player Motoyo Nagasaki, and even to Nijika Ijichi.

The inability to face one's own actions has led to this.

She stubbornly followed what she believed to be the right path, refusing to listen to anyone, and even cruelly cut ties with Xia Mu, the only person willing to stay by her side.

in case……

If Su Shi is a simulator player.

Could Xia Mu be one of them?

"Actually, whether Xia Mu is a simulator player or not, none of that matters as much as you might think, Xiao Xiang. The important thing is always now."

Having seen through Toyokawa Shoko's thoughts, Nagasaki Motoyo's voice softened, and she transformed into someone who had been through it all, offering guidance.

You'll know it at a glance.

Xiao Xiang must have also made some impressive, high-performing plays during the simulation, just like himself.

and many more.

Could it be...

Shining! Ave Mujica is thriving!

Yawata Umiyoshi withdraws from Ave Mujica

Let's Break Up, Xia Mu

"Wakaba Mutsumi withdraws from Ave Mujica due to health reasons"

"Will Xia Mu marry Hong Xia and Xiao Mu?"

Nagasaki Motoyo has made progress.

That's really going too far.

She happened to be there that time too.

Is it a machine or the real person? It's hard to say.

“Xia Mu will never distance himself from us because of these things. Just like this cup of black tea, no matter how many times we rewind the save file, Xia Mu always prefers the temperature at this moment. So, even without the simulator, I believe I can still steer the future.”

Xia Mu, the future in which he exists, is the future that Nagasaki Motoyo seeks.

"Su Shi, you..."

"Don't underestimate me, Xiao Xiang. Although I'm not as good as Xia Mu, I'm still a half-detective. If you like someone, don't hesitate, go for it bravely. Don't just wait and end up disappointed. If you don't like someone, learn to refuse, let go, and don't get entangled."

"I understand now. I never thought I'd be the one lecturing me..."

In this game called reality, there is no chance to reload and start over.

But at least, they all held onto the power of choice in this moment.

silence.

Toyokawa Shoko has undoubtedly fallen into a passive position.

She knew that Nagasaki Motoyo was absolutely right.

Moreover, there's no point in confronting them with a simulator now.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll stay here until he comes back."

"As you wish."

Sunlight streamed through the curtains, drawing a bright dividing line between the two girls.

At this moment, the one who holds the initiative is Nagasaki Motoyo!

Strike first!

The only flaw in Chapter 230 is that it's too perfect.

just now.

There was a girl who fell in love with a boy named Xia Mu.

she says.

Bumping into him one day was the most wonderful surprise.

gradually.

She became dependent on him, and he had a good impression of her.

"Xia Mu, Liang and I have decided to form a band together. Please join us!"

Client: Ichi Nijika.

The task is to form a band.

"A band? Is it finally my turn, Xia Mumu, to be the lead singer? Cluck cluck cluck! Inspiration mushroom li mushroom li mushroom li kua cha inspiration mushroom inspiration mushroom~"

"Not the lead singer, I hope you can become a supporter of our band. As for the lead singer, Liang said she has a fan who wants to join our band, she's a junior from the same year."

She's a junior, but from another school.

“Support? I have no objection. As long as Hongxia needs me, she can come to me anytime.”

Xia Mu readily agreed.

support.

Includes temporary substitute guitarist, behind-the-scenes staff, and songwriter/composer.

It's not necessary to go on stage.

Not necessarily an expert, but aiming to be versatile.

Xia Mu happens to meet this condition.

Ichi Nijika came up with this idea from the bottom of her heart.

She wanted to be with Xia Mu.

If you form a band, you'll have more opportunities to get to know each other.

They gradually accumulated the moments between them, piecing together fragments into beautiful memories.

and.

Xia Mu's strength is evident to all.

If I'm even a step too slow, Nagasaki Motoyo and Toyokawa Shoko, who are eyeing me covetously, will beat me to it...

wrong.

It seems they've already invited Xia Mu.

I was actually the slowest.

"Anyway, it's settled for now. The story of our band—me, you, Ryo, Kita, and Pochi-chan—is about to begin!"

"Hmm, eh?"

Is Nijigasaki's mom this efficient? She's already managed to get Kita and Ichiri sorted out.

No wonder she's the woman who could become his (fill in the blank).

"They're in the rehearsal room right now, let's go see them."

Ding--

As the iron door of the rehearsal room slammed shut, Goto Ichiri buried his face in the folds of the mango box.
