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

【A bold idea suddenly arises in your heart. 】

Because of Xia Mu's existence, Toyokawa Shoko decided to stay at the Fanxing Detective Agency and become his assistant.

If Xia Mu didn't exist, then Xiangzi, whom you care about, and the original Crychik, would probably come back.

[Now, if you call the Shimokitazawa Psychiatric Hospital, you can summon a strong professional team to bring back the fugitive mental patient Xia Mubei.]

Please make your choice, Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo——

【① Pretend not to know about this matter and continue to maintain the original relationship with Xia Mu. 】

[② Summon the professional team from Shimokitazawa Mental Hospital to make Xia Mu disappear from your world. As long as Xia Mu is taken back to the mental hospital, there will be hope for Toyokawa Shoko to return to CRYCHIC!]

Another choice between two.

But Nagasaki Suyo looked conflicted.

She really hopes that Toyokawa Shoko will return to CRYCHIC, but after getting to know each other for some time, she also knows that Xia Mu is a very gentle person. As a detective, he can help those in need to share the burden. As a keyboard player in CRYCHIC, he can also adjust the atmosphere within the team just right, and can even get along well with Xiaodeng and others in a short period of time.

Lian Lixi is also a hypocrite. On the surface, he often criticizes Xia Mu for being lax on the keyboard, but his actions are very honest.

Moreover, even though he was a mental patient, the Xia Mu she knew had never shown an aggressive side.

It’s so hard to choose…

Miss Nagasaki Suyo is caught in a dilemma.

Advancing is worrying, retreating is worrying.

[This option can be reserved for future selection. I hope Miss Nagasaki Motoyo will make a decision as soon as possible.]

The simulator gave a very humane reminder.

Give Nagasaki Suyo some room to think, hoping that she will not make a decision that she will regret.

……

……

"The commission is over. Please support the Starry Detective Agency, meow~" After saying goodbye to everyone at Diamond Star, you leisurely returned to the detective agency.

[Putting on wired headphones and listening to some music is not bad.]

"Su Shi came here today and just left." Assistant Xiao Xiang sat next to you, intentionally or unintentionally closing the distance between you until you could clearly hear each other's breathing.

She knew that her great detective had once again perfectly solved a client's commission.

"It should be about rehearsal." You decide to send a message to Nagasaki Motoyo to ask.

"Xia Mu, what song are you listening to?" Toyokawa Shoko was very curious.

"It sounds like a song by a cute girl duo called Simama. It's pretty good, let's listen to it together." You give half of your earphone to Toyokawa Shoko.

"It's Sumi," Toyokawa Shoko gently corrected. After all, it was a group her friend was in, and even though they hadn't been in touch for a while, she still followed them.

[Sitting quietly, the melody in the headphones flows between you, as if it is your shared secret.]

"Natsumu... I happened to find your hospital gown when I went to Sakurasou to help sort your clothes today. Nanami also found it." After the song ended, she took off her headphones and looked at you seriously. The thing she was talking about was the exclusive VIP skin for the mental hospital on the balcony.

[The truth about you being a fugitive from Shimokitazawa Mental Hospital has finally been exposed.]

【Not only Toyokawa Shoko, but even Aoyama Nanami who was helping to clean up saw it. 】

【They discovered your true identity as a fugitive mentally ill person.】

[The two of them felt a little complicated for a moment.]

[With their own thoughts, assistant Xiaoxiang left first with your hospital gown. He sighed, then carefully washed it for you and took it to the balcony to dry.]

She knew that since you kept this hospital gown, you must have a purpose.

[As an assistant, she only needs to do her best to assist you with your work and take care of your daily life.]

"Smith Marseille! I shouldn't have kept this from you, Xiangzi. I'm so sorry! If you can forgive me, I'm willing to do anything!" A single click of the clothes explodes! Ding Cheng's apology must be presented in a completely unpretentious manner. Wearing a light blue kuchako, you solemnly apologize to Toyokawa Xiangzi.

"As expected of me, one-click clothes explosion, cast off!"

Kamen Rider Kabuto King Xia Mu is currently being serialized!

"Put your clothes on first, Xia Mu. I'm not angry about this." As she spoke, the gentle Xiaoxiang Mama put the clothes you had just taken off back on you.

"No matter what your past was like, even if you were a mental patient, I don't mind. You are my detective now, there is no doubt about that."

"Xiangzi is so gentle. Is there a possibility that she is the one I want to form a wonderful bond with in this simulation?"

Xia Mu was deeply moved.

Toyokawa Shoko is indeed the girl who can become his wife!

Detective Xia Mu? Assistant Xiao Xiang?

best much!

The best match~

ps: Miss Su Shi, it’s time to start unleashing your amazing wisdom!

Otherwise, how should Xia Mu respond?

Please stay tuned for the next episode of Ultraman Tiga, "The Fog is Coming"!

Today's book recommendation session~

Book Title: Shokugeki no Sora: From Being Picked Up by Alice

Introduction: Bai Yuan traveled to the world of Chinese cooking and was trapped in the dark cooking world. After decades of hard work, he defeated all the Five Tigers with his amazing talent and became the new strongest in the dark cooking world.

Just when he reached the top and was about to start enjoying the power of the organization and marrying several beautiful wives to live a carefree life, he traveled through time again and woke up to find himself in Food Wars!

The good news is that the female characters here are more in line with his aesthetics. The bad news is that he is now penniless, very hungry, and it is snowing. He feels like he is about to freeze to death on the street.

Fortunately, Alice Xieqie who was passing by on the street picked him up and took him home, and kindly brought him food. However, due to her limited cooking skills, he subconsciously despised her and showed an angry expression.

Bai Yuan, who felt that he had gone too far, thought about it and decided to show off his skills and make top-notch glowing dishes. So he naturally became Alice Xieqi's personal cooking teacher.

But...the private cooking teacher I agreed to be was not a love enlightenment teacher!

Looking at Alice Kamekiri, Erina Kamekiri, Hisako Arato, Izumi Mito and others who were pressing forward in front of him, Bai Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that something was wrong with the development of the plot!

Chapter 51: The Disappearance of Suzumiya Natsumu

"Shimokitazawa Mental Hospital... Xia Mu..."

Weighing the two of them on the scale in his heart, the flaxen-haired woman finally made her own choice.

"This is just a simulation. It's also to find a way to win Xiaoxiang back. It won't hurt Xia Mu in real life..."

The selfish bassist Miss Su Shi hopes that the original CRYCHIC will come back. Having Xiangzi is enough.

"I'm sorry, Xia Mu..."

It was Nagasaki Suyo who felt sorry for the boy who had always liked her.

Time and time again, he took advantage of the other party, and even this time, he wanted Xia Mu to leave in exchange for Xiaoxiang's return.

She herself is really too much.

After much hesitation, you finally called the Shimokitazawa Psychiatric Hospital. On the pretext that there was a fugitive mentally ill patient there, you summoned a team of professionals, led by Director Tono of the Electric Shock Therapy Department, to take them in. They were able to take in the abnormal creatures and the mentally ill patient within half an hour.

"If possible, I don't want to be like this..."

After doing all this, you fled from the Fanxing Detective Agency, not daring to stay any longer.

[The moment you made the call, the fate of the story seemed to have been determined. This farce of a mentally ill person escaping and forming a detective agency, and even replacing Xiaoxiang to reorganize CRYCHIC, was about to end.]

[Perhaps, years from now, a mentally ill patient named Xia Mu will return with a copy of "Mu's Struggle," "The Suzumiya: Xia Mu's Hesitation," or "The Suzumiya: Xia Mu's Disappearance." Or perhaps, using a small spoon, he'll dig through the mentally ill patient's zirconium alloy protective wall, just to imitate the angel next door and come to you.]

She knew she had done a terrible thing.

But Nagasaki Suyo still found a reasonable excuse for her actions.

The end and freedom, these two words combined together, were so heavy. She had never expected that she would use such despicable means to kill the competition in the simulator.

If Xia Mu doesn't leave, Xiao Xiang will have a hard time returning.

As long as Xia Mu was taken away by the mental hospital, there would be no need for the Fanxing Detective Agency to continue operating. Xiaoxiang? She would no longer be tied down by the affairs of the detective agency.

Undoubtedly, she believed that she could also bring freedom to Toyokawa Shoko.

Who else in the world can compete with Miss Nagasaki Motoyo, who is so strong and possesses such amazing wisdom?

It’s hard to say.

"Give Xiaoxiang back to me, Xia Mu."

Nagasaki Suyo, who was immersed in the situation, was anxiously waiting for the follow-up.

This is probably the best situation for everyone.

Everyone at CRYCHIC is also looking forward to Xiaoxiang's return, right?

Xiaoxiang has always wanted to play in a band with everyone, right?

Master Nagasaki Suyo, who thought he understood human nature, had everything under control.

Unexpectedly, Xia Mu, who had always been steady, actually revealed his biggest flaw, so she seized this opportunity.

What about Xiaoxiang? Could it be that he also didn't know Xia Mu's true identity before?

Nagasaki Suyo didn't know, but it didn't affect the decision she made today.

Filled with guilt and hardened her heart, Nagasaki Suyo made up her mind.

It's just a simulator, isn't it used for selection?

In the simulator, she is the only real player anyway, right?

After doing this, there will be no room for regret.

Even if Xia Mu hated her, Nagasaki Sushi accepted it.

Let her be the bad guy.

When you got home, you sent Xia Mu a text message as a farewell—"I'm sorry."

After he's taken back to the mental hospital, he probably won't be able to use his phone...

"What am I worried about? Xia Mu is just going back to the mental hospital and continuing his life in a new place. It's not like he died in the death game like last time..."

[Waiting, Xia Mu, who usually responded to your messages quickly, has disappeared.]

[You know, your plan was probably successful.]

To be on the safe side, you went to the Fanxing Detective Agency again the next day, but Xia Mu was nowhere to be found. Only Toyokawa Shoko was there, holding a feather duster and meticulously wiping Xia Mu's belongings in her guise of cleaning staff.

"Xiao Xiang, where's Xia Mu? I need to go to CRYCHIC rehearsal with Xia Mu today~" You originally wanted to tell Toyokawa Xiangzi that you had sent Xia Mu away in a big way, but after thinking about it, you decided to lay the groundwork first and pretend that you knew nothing. This better fits your gentle and kind personality.

"Xia Mu has left, please go back." As soon as Toyokawa Shoko saw you, she immediately prepared to see you off.

"Eh? I'm just here to look for Xia Mu. Where's he going today? What about the band we agreed to play together? If Xia Mu isn't here..." You wanted to continue your inquiry, but Toyokawa Shoko interrupted you.

"Stop acting, Sushi. You're really going too far right now." Toyokawa Shoko's eyes were terrifying, as if she were looking at an unrelated stranger, conveying a hint of disgust.

"Did I get exposed? I disguised myself so well, how did Xiaoxiang find out?"

Nagasaki Suyo was shocked!

"When Xia Mu was taken away from the Shimokitazawa Mental Hospital, his phone was left with me, and at that moment, I saw your message." Toyokawa Shoko threw the evidence directly in your face, then opened the messaging interface on her phone. It was you who sent her the message "I'm sorry."

[Obviously, your plan was successful, but it was also discovered by Toyokawa Shoko.]

"Xiao Xiang, Xia Mu is a patient who escaped from the mental hospital. Shouldn't he return to the mental hospital? Besides, I didn't hurt Xia Mu." Under Toyokawa Xiangzi's deathly gaze, you tried to justify your actions.

[As you spoke, you felt increasingly guilty, and your excuses faltered.]

"Is that all you have to say? I didn't expect you to become like this after not seeing you for a while, Sushi. It's disappointing, you know? Right before Xia Mu was taken away, he was talking to me about wanting to secretly throw a surprise for your birthday with everyone from CRYCHIC. He even talked to Li Xi and Deng about a new song for you..." Toyokawa Shoko couldn't understand your train of thought.

[Even more, I can't understand why the detective she cares about is obsessed with you.]

[But, her stupid detective was ultimately betrayed by the girl he loved...]

【Toyokawa Shoko feels sorry for Xia Mu. 】

"Leave here. You're not welcome at the Fanxing Detective Agency. Don't make me say the same thing a second time, Sushi."

[“But, Xia Mu is gone!”]
