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

Let me double-check.

Aoyama Nanami doesn't want to give up yet.

After giving their gifts, the two girls kept their true feelings to themselves and celebrated their boss Xia Mumu's birthday.

simple is the best.

……

……

Early December, the onset of winter, cold.

[The fourth volume of "Detective Xia Mumu" is released! The author will be present for a book signing!]

You and Kita Ikuyo made a pact to go to the bookstore and queue up to buy the fourth volume.

"Senior Hongxia, Senior Liang, over here, over here!"

Kita waved enthusiastically to his seniors.

But Goto Ichiri is different.

She doesn't like crowded and noisy environments.

Social anxiety disorder, an urgent desire to go home and hide away!

The outside world is so scary!

No!

I finally convinced myself to go out and buy the fourth volume of "Detective Xia Mumu"!

For my parents, for my sister Erli, and for our dog Jimiheng!

Ok……

Ok.

It was for her own sake.

Goto Ichiri described Natsumu as someone he considered a good friend.

He's a very nice person, speaks very kindly, and is especially good at taking care of himself... Goto Ichiri is very happy.

very beginning.

I was so nervous that I didn't even dare to look up and meet Xia Mu's eyes...

The pink-haired girl always subconsciously thinks of things in the worst possible way, but he is different; he always thinks of things in the most optimistic way.

In a short while.

Goto Ichiri cannot change anything.

This is tantamount to letting a level 1 hero in the beginner village wield the best sword in the village and now try to solo a level 999 demon king.

Impossible, unrealistic.

But it's okay.

Xia Mu will always be with him.

She trusted Xia Mu; he was a man of his word.

"Hey, Boqi-chan, lend me some money. I'm short on cash again after buying the books."

"This is my friend's allowance for this month..."

Little Boqi, so submissive and hesitant.

Upon hearing Yamada Ryo's words, whether it was a joke or not, Goto Ichiri took out money from his wallet, ready to hand it over.

The girl with short blue hair sighed helplessly in her heart.

Pochi-chan...

You're too easy to bully.

Couldn't you have been a little firmer in rejecting me?

What would we do if we encountered a truly troublesome guy without Xia Mu and us?

"It's cold, you can't do that."

A reassuring voice sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man wearing sunglasses and a mask, carrying a shoulder bag, who looked exactly like the Japanese version of Graves. It was Xia Mu.

"Why did our great writer Xia Mumu suddenly come here?"

Yamada Ryo joked.

"The publisher has arranged a book signing event. I'm going to sign for everyone one by one. The queue will probably be quite long. Ichiri, you and Ryo can distribute these to everyone."

Xia Mu had to leave first.

Before leaving, he slipped a paper bag into Goto Ichiri's hand.

Inside are four signed copies of the fourth volume of "Detective Xia Mumu".

"Xia Mu really cares about us. Now we don't have to wait in line. Let's go back."

"Um……"

Goto Ichiri looked at the book in her hands, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

Chapter 252 Winter Night, Confession, Xia Mu, I Like You (4k)

December 24th, Christmas Eve.

"Who wouldn't like Hongxia? She's just putting on a brave face!"

Xia Mu is about to confess her feelings.

Who is Hongxia?

She is the little angel of Shimokitazawa.

(P.S.: The archangel is Director Koji Tadokoro)

It was the intimacy he longed for, yet never possessed, and could never capture.

It's the virtual world that accompanies him day and night, and is always within his reach.

It seems like every Christmas is the time for him to confess his feelings.

A quick recap shows the odds are fifty-fifty.

Your name is Xia Mu, and you are full of confidence.

We must take it!

How should you confess your feelings?

【①Use the ubiquitous Mickey Mouse tools】

[②Unleashing a groundbreaking and astonishing display of wisdom!]

[③With a cautious mindset akin to that of a genius, proceed steadily and surely.]

[④ Realistic simulation: You confess your feelings alone.]

"Byd, I'm right here in the real world, what are you doing here?"

【…】

【Wishing you all the best, meow.】

Moisten it.

I'm not going to be your narrator anymore; if I talk too much, I'll get criticized.

The simulator was over.

"Xiangzi, tell me, if I want to express my feelings to the girl I like, what should I do?"

While Xiangzi and Qihai were both there, Xia Mu asked them what they thought.

"Just tell her how you feel, let her understand. Be brave and do it, Xia Mu. I support you."

Whether he succeeds or fails, his assistant Xiao Xiang will always be there to support Xia Mu.

If it fails...

Then Toyokawa Shoko would seize the opportunity to pull Xia Mu into her arms and take advantage of her vulnerability!

"Expressing your feelings is like confessing your love... I don't know much about this kind of thing, but I think what Miss Xiangzi said makes a lot of sense. Good luck, Xia Mu. I believe in your feelings and I'm sure you'll be able to convey them to the other person."

and so.

Come on.

Once you take action, don't look back at her.

Qi Hai was afraid that Xia Mu would see her crying.

She had silently vowed that she would never cry again, but it seems she's about to break that vow.

"I understand, thank you Xiangzi and Qihai."

December 25th, Christmas Day.

[To save Hakimi in his Spinosaurus form, you were thrown into the air by an out-of-control 100-ton Wagon, flipped 361 degrees in mid-air, and landed perfectly, a tribute to the legendary Fish-Bombing Diving Team.]

After a transition, the simulator reluctantly went to work.

Going to work is so much fun.jpg

"wtf?"

Didn't this turn into a two-dimensional paper doll?

It still has to be me, Xia Mumu.

Everyone else is numb.

You survived thanks to your tenacious will to live.

[Minor abrasion.]

[We need to get him to the hospital quickly; if we wait any longer, the wound will have almost healed.]

"grass."

To be on the safe side, you should stay in the hospital for observation for a week.

Tick ​​tick tick——

Open your eyes.

It's an unfamiliar ceiling.

Ceiling: I hate people who have no sense of boundaries. They start criticizing me as soon as I wake up every day. I hate it the most.

Xia Mu: You're right, but I can use the ceiling to pad the word count (laughs).

"Bull Demon...who spends Christmas in the hospital? Let me go! I want to be discharged!!!"

Xia Mu was already considering whether to replicate the scene at the beginning of the Beize Mental Hospital incident, sprint, and escape by shaking off the medical staff.

"Xia Mu, you have to listen to the doctor."

The blonde, dollop-shaped girl with a cowlick rushed over as soon as she heard that Xia Mu had been in a car accident. She found Xia Mu muttering to himself about the ceiling, a frequently mentioned object, and his restless spirit of wanting to escape from the hospital.

"it is good."

Listen to Hongxia.

Because he is kind.

Friends came to visit, one after another.

I thought Xia Mu would be badly injured after being hit by the 100-ton Wang Chuangfei, but when he arrived, he was found to be full of energy and had no serious illness.

While feeling relieved, I couldn't help but feel concerned.
