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

The socially awkward pink-haired girl, the frizzy blue-haired girl, the sunny and cheerful red-haired girl, and the radiant little angel Shimokitazawa, who shines like the sun.

Add to that the gentle divine metal, as soft as the moon.

Goto Ichiri felt like she was about to melt, and that she would explode if she looked at it again.

mom.

She wants to go home.

No, no, no!

She has to form a band! She can't be afraid anymore!

A head peeked out from the mango box, revealing long, light pink hair framing a fair and lovely face.

Hidden beneath her rustic attire is a stunningly beautiful young woman.

It's pretty and cute.

The only downside is that it's too perfect (scratch that).

Again!

Very cute, very beautiful, and easy to like.

Unfortunately, Goto Ichiri is a socially awkward person.

The "can't stand the light" series: social anxiety disorder.

In junior high, I watched TV and dreamed of playing music, forming a band, enjoying my youth, and becoming a so-called "real-life person."

however--

Three years of junior high school have passed.

None of her schemes succeeded; instead, the path of the video blogger "Guitar Hero" went further and further astray.

"I guess this is how my life will be forever, ah..."

I wish I could crawl back into my mother's belly and not have to think about these terrifying questions.

Yili began to worry again.

Although, just like in a dream, he was picked up by Hongxia, he didn't see Xiamu at all...

Deep down, I did feel a little disappointed.

There must be a difference between dreams and reality.

Although Kita-san and Ryo-senpai are very nice people... I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, Senior Hongxia suddenly said that she had found a friend and was going to bring her into the band.

who can that be?

She bravely poked her head out and saw Xia Mu.

Eh?

Eh--

Hey!!

Thank you, Nijika-senpai, you're practically an angel!

Thank you for bringing Xia Mu here!

Yeah!

Hehehe~

It's time to put to use the conversation starters you've learned online.

Uh... how should I put it again?

very quickly.

Goto Ichiri shrank back again.

My social anxiety has flared up again.

I was so scared I almost fainted.

It's so stuffy inside the box... even more uncomfortable than a small cupboard at home...

The real reason is probably that I got stage fright again.

I had been looking forward to it, and when I finally got to see him, I couldn't face him.

I clearly have so much to say.

She was really looking forward to this day, looking forward to meeting her Mr. 9527, Mr. Ghost Xia Mu, but she turned into such a soft and cuddly person.

Such myself.

As expected, I'm still not qualified to speak to Xia Mu.

And so, let me spend my whole life immersed in this illusory dream...

"Moshi moshi~ This beautiful lady, would you mind opening the door and letting me in as a guest?"

A laughing voice came from above, and Ichiri froze. The shadow outside the box crawled in through the crack and wove a fine net on her curled-up knees.

"Sorry... we're full..."

Curled up, the pink-haired, socially awkward girl answered Xia Mu's sudden question in a muffled voice.

"So, would you like to squeeze in with me, if you don't mind?"

"It's very stuffy inside..."

"I don't mind. It's my honor to be with you."

"..."

If you don't say anything, it means the same thing~

I'm coming in.jpg

"Yes, yes, it's possible..."

She finally managed to get her words out clearly, albeit haltingly.

I can't refuse other people's requests.

Very passive.

but.

This time, let's just say it was my own choice.

to be frank.

She didn't understand Xia Mu...

All she knew was that he was a very gentle guy who was considerate of her feelings.

Hearing his concern over the phone makes me happy all day long.

The younger sister, Goto Jiri, thought she was fantasizing about making friends again...

if.

Starting with Xia Mu, taking the first step in making friends is also a good idea.

She wanted to take that step.

Starting from scratch is often the most difficult step.

Suddenly, a warm glow filled the cramped space. Yili could feel Xia Mu's deliberately turned back and the faint scent of red tea emanating from him.

The air inside the cardboard box started to get hot, like it had been thrown into a microwave oven.

"Thank you. So this is what the world inside the mango box is like. As you said, it is indeed a bit stuffy."

He was just a mentally ill person passing by.

"Um... I apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality."

Xia Mu suddenly leaned closer, startling her so much that she bumped the back of her head against the side of the box.

No...

They were very close.

I feel like I'm going to faint...

"If you're not feeling well, please go outside. Don't push yourself. Ichiri, um, may I call you that?"

Xia Mu suddenly lowered his voice, his breath brushing against the top of her head.

"It's alright... Huh? How do you know my name?"

“Hongxia told me. Now it’s my turn to introduce myself. My name is Xia Mu. It’s nice to meet you.”

Chapter 231 Mr. Xia Mu, the Liar from Goto Ichiri

Have you ever watched Ultraman?

"Yes, yes."

"Ultraman from Nebula M78 only fights on Earth for three minutes, while I'm a helicopter alien from MeowPu Blue Star, and I only have three minutes to move around inside the mango box."

"three minutes……"

really?

Xia Muta is actually an alien?

My Love from the Star?

"Including what we were saying just now, there are forty seconds left, no, thirty-five seconds... I'm so glad I was able to meet you in the last few seconds, Ichiri."

"Waaah! Xia Mu, don't die!"

"I'm just going to a really nice place. See you tomorrow, Ichiri..."

Ding-dong—Ding-dong—

The boy inside the box fell silent.

"Move quickly! To save Xia Mu, I must break through the sky above the mango box!!!"

A socially awkward girl hatched from her shell.

The moment the cardboard box was blown away, Yili stumbled and fell into the light. She fell into the sun-drenched embrace, and the cardboard box made a muffled thud above her head.

Goto Ichiri couldn't control herself and fell onto the boy who had just gotten up.

"Oh my god—"

Xia Mu, who was about to say something, was pushed down again.

The cardboard box, which was tossed about and flew around, perfectly embodied Newton's theory of gravity, and hit Goto Ichiri on the head.

Then, she fell on Xia Mu.

"Caw—I think I see my uncle from the Titanic waving at me..."

The luxurious cruise ship that encountered the iceberg, like the love story of Lao Da and the helicopter, crashed, ending with a regretful conclusion.

Because of the regret, we remember.

Nobody wants this.

?

"Poke-chan?"

What, you too?

Hongxia's sigh mingled with the sound of the cardboard box hitting the ground.

"Yes, yes—I'm sorry, Xia Mu, are you alright?"

Looking at the boy pressing down on her, Yili hurriedly propped herself up, her fingertips touching Xia Mu's warm forehead.
