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

Because of Xia Mu, her older sister Shiina Maki became more concerned about her interpersonal relationships.

If she found out that Xia Mu had spent the night in her room, her worldview would probably shatter.

Ok……

It must be hidden.

【Xia Mu】：Ciallo～(∠?ω<)⌒☆

[Xia Mu]: Li Xi, say something! You haven't replied to me for three minutes. Do you hate me? Or did something happen to you? Can I come to you via the internet?

[Shiina Tatsuki]: I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me. Have you been saying this in the clipboard for a long time?

[Xia Mu]: Thanks for the invitation. I just wrote this. Don't underestimate a novelist's typing speed! So, Li Xi, where's your answer?

[Shiina Tatsuki]: Whatever.

I care, but...

But since Xia Mu had already written it this way, she couldn't stop him.

Based on myself...

Could it be that Xia Mu in real life actually has feelings for me?

hiss--

Despite the 24°C temperature, Shiina Tatsuki actually felt a chill.

How could she possibly like Xia Mu?

No, no.

impossible things.

They are just ordinary friends.

Lixi was absolutely certain of this.

In the simulation, I deliberately missed the wedding, simply because...

She felt she didn't belong in that kind of place.

The more you think, the more chaotic your mind becomes.

It cannot be denied that Xia Mu, though abstract in nature, did indeed help her a lot...

They are the best and most reliable friends.

From a friend's perspective, I also admire Xia Mu to some extent.

If people were a little more normal, that sentence would be even better.

Hypothesis.

Xia Mu really likes her, what should she do?

Should we ask the emulator?

"Simulator... are you there?"

【bu zai.】

"Can you tell me if Xia Mu in real life likes me as much as she does in the simulation?"

【…】

Why not ask the magical conch shell? Or even the magic notebook...?

The simulator refuses to answer this question.

How could it know?

Just like at the very beginning, the simulator didn't expect Nagasaki Motoyo's initial gameplay to be so unreliable, and Toyokawa Shoko, who could turn a huge advantage into a disadvantage, and Anwa Subaru, who just kept showing up the band's "Prosperous Day" every day...

For now.

The one with the highest overall score but the lowest overall record is another drummer, Nijika Ijichi.

Without a doubt, he's the most normal player among emulator users; once he gets serious, he wins easily!

"What a perfunctory answer. What's the difference between saying it and not saying it at all?"

Shiina Tatsuki is no longer relying on emulators.

[You can add a few more words.]

In short, follow your heart, Ms. Shiina Tatsuki.

If you like it, you like it; if you dislike it, you dislike it.

Right and wrong.

Follow your heart.

You say that when you are unsure about something, you can ask the spring breeze. The spring breeze is silent, so follow your heart.

If she is truly determined, how could she be indecisive in the face of adversity?

"Hey……"

Becoming the female protagonist in Xia Mu's novel seems to be an inevitable ending.

But what about reality?

Should I reject him again?

Ps:

You've really gone too far. I have to control you now. Go to the nearest convenience store right now and buy a box of omelet rice. Then put on a maid outfit, do your makeup, and immediately go to the nearest cafe and find someone. Place the omelet rice in front of them, make a heart shape with your hands, and shout loudly: "Delicious magic! Unparalleled dream spell☆ Soft and fluffy? Sweet and delicious? Become delicious—omelet rice! Chu~" Your movements should be exaggerated, your expression lively, and you should act like a magical girl. Otherwise, you know best what I can do.

Chapter 282 Simulation, Sword Art Online? CryChic team disbanded upon startup?

【Giggle! Ms. Shiina Tatsuki, how about a special simulation~】

What is a special simulation?

[This is a simulation based on an extremely low-probability event that is unlikely to occur.]

"Okay, let's get started."

What is the purpose of simulation?

Shiina Tatsuki's goal was to find his true self.

【Ding--】

[Special simulation startup.]

The theme of this simulation is Sword Art Online.

"Something I've never heard of before..."

[Should we enable augmented reality mode? There's more room for creativity in augmented reality, meow.]

"open it."

It's like two robots, one asking a question and the other answering.

【Ding--】

Your name is Shiina Tatsuki.

[In junior high school, I formed a gaming team called CryChic with Shoko Toyokawa, Motoyo Nagasaki, Akari Takamatsu, and Mutsumi Wakaba.]

"what?"

That year, you participated in the first League of Legends esports competition jointly organized by the School of Electronic Engineering and Information Technology, and you won!

Your mid-lane AP tanky Yasuo build, with its incredible immortality, is simply awe-inspiring.

They play silently.

[And Toyokawa Shoko's top lane Rylai's Crystal Scepter Renekton is no pushover either.]

[Wakaba Mutsu's Draven jungle play was a revelation, making him virtually invincible in the jungle.]

A person who truly wants to win will not smile until they achieve victory!

The bottom lane duo of Nagasaki Motoyo and Takamatsu Akari is truly heavyweight.

Although it deviated from your original plan, you were happy playing LoL with everyone.

"How do I fold this Heart Steel... I have absolutely no idea!"

Doesn't the simulation give you proficiency points?

What should we play then?

Don't worry about this; you'll get the points back once you've mastered the skills. We need to fast-forward through the time.

The brief happiness of the past made you believe you had found your home.

[On a rainy day after the match.]

[RING Internet Cafe, soundproof gaming booths.]

"Starting today, I am leaving CryChic..."

The iconic scene was recreated once again, and Shiina Tatsuki just wanted to go up and deliver the finishing punch.

quack!

Friendship Breaking Fist!

Rather than engaging in verbal sparring, it would be better to use physical methods to bring Toyokawa Shoko to her senses.

"Why? Weren't we having fun playing ranked matches together? Why is Xiao Xiang saying this? Is there some trouble you can't tell us about?"

Nagasaki Motoyo, who mainly plays the Minotaur Chieftain, tried to persuade him to stay.

"This is none of your business, Su Shi."

send.

What should you do right now, Ms. Shiina Tatsuki?

[Should we stop it, or should the story proceed according to the original plot?]

The reality has already been set.

But Shiina Tatsuki was unwilling to let Toyokawa Shoko leave like that.

"Hey! You're the one who started CryChic, the one who said you'd play games forever, and now you're the one quitting, Toyokawa Shoko! What are you thinking? In your eyes, you can't even talk to your friends who are worried about you when you encounter trouble?"

Shiina Tatsuki said too little back then.

Given her way of dealing with people, I have to say a few more words about her!

Every word is heartbreaking.

"Lixi, don't do this..."

Motoyo Nagasaki wanted everyone to calm down.

Like Liang Shanbo's strategist—

useless.

"Enough! It's okay if I'm one less! I'm not the only one who can play top lane! You guys don't need to be like this!"

Clenching her fists, the blue-haired girl with pigtails, who had just been caught in the rain, shouted to mask her unwillingness.

She didn't want to either...

But now, Toyokawa Shoko can no longer play League of Legends happily with everyone like before.

"But... what if it weren't for Xiao Xiang's Ice Staff Crocodile..."

Takamatsu Akari, who was usually quiet and reserved, spoke up.

She wants to form an e-sports band for life...

"Lamp! You're the one who needs the most practice. You've almost never hit the robot's Q. If it weren't for Su Shi guiding you, you wouldn't even know how to go back to town to buy equipment!"

Firepower shift.
