Sitting by the window, Ichinose Wakaba had already put down her pen, placed her hands on the table, lowered her head slightly, and kept her eyes half-open.

Last night, the unexpected popularity of the video kept him busy until very late. First, he sorted through the private messages that came in, rejecting all those who approached him with ulterior motives, like Yutenji Wakaba. Then, he looked for advertising collaborations he could take on.

Because of the special nature of magic, it's impossible for Ichinose Wakaba to film videos with other people.

Unless, in the future, he finds someone he can share this secret with. Even in the simulation, Mutsumi Ruka, who became Ichinose Wakaba's wife, was unaware that he possessed magic.

Oh, by the way, their daughter knows that Ichinose Wakaba knows magic. In fact, her talent far surpasses his.

If Ichinose Wakaba's magic level is white, then Wakaba Mutsu's magic level is purple, or even red.

The daughter with the magic level of Red has disappeared at the end of the simulator. It can be said that now, apart from Ichinose Wakaba herself, no one knows that he has magic.

Therefore, it's impossible for Ichinose Wakaba, who can't possibly expose this matter, to cooperate with others.

Ichinose Wakaba spent the entire night dealing with the aftermath of his sudden fame. It was through this that he successfully earned enough money to improve his life.

I'll quit my part-time job at the convenience store today.

No one wants to work unless they have no other choice, and Ichinose Wakaba is no exception. Now he can earn money by making videos.

Having solved a major problem in one fell swoop, Ichinose Wakaba became quite lazy and started thinking about what he should do in the future.

First, Ichinose Wakaba will continue her studies, going to university no matter what. Then, depending on the situation, she will either become a freelancer after graduating or go to work.

However, it's highly likely that Ichinose Wakaba will become a free agent, since with the simulator, he will definitely obtain higher-level entries in the future.

My current goal is to get a decent keyword and then buy a house.

With his basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation met, Ichinose Wakaba wanted to move out of his current residence. He wouldn't want to live in a haunted house unless he had no other choice.

Having been interested in detached houses in Japan since her previous life, Ichinose Wakaba's next goal is to buy a nice detached house.

Besides that, maybe I could find a girlfriend.

Thinking about what happened in the simulator, Ichinose Wakaba decided to have a normal relationship.

The classroom was quiet, with occasional whispers or the turning of pages. Ichinose Wakaba remained in this languid and silent state until the bell rang, at which point her classmates got up to leave, gently waking her from her reverie.

He raised his head, blinked slightly, felt the sun outside the window, and got up to walk around.

"Please wait, Wakaba no Se-kun."

She almost blurted out that inappropriate address, but Toyokawa Shoko stopped herself in time. She gently covered her lips and tilted her head slightly, as if to hide her momentary lapse in composure. Then, that flawless smile reappeared on her face, like a cherry blossom blooming in spring, dignified and elegant, captivating all who looked away.

"Ichinose-kun, the store manager asked me to talk to you. Please teach me about things I need to pay attention to when opening a convenience store."

Toyokawa Shoko's voice flowed like a clear spring, gentle and proper, without any hint of anything amiss, and her eyes, as clear as glass, remained completely still.

The blue-haired girl nodded slightly, her smile perfectly displaying an impeccable gentleness.

The smile on the girl's face, carefully sculpted by the education of aristocratic young ladies, was neither overly casual nor aloof, but rather a perfect balance between the two.

However, behind that smile, only Toyokawa Shoko herself knew just how much faster her heart had raced at that moment. The "Wakaba" that almost slipped out was a name she had long been accustomed to from those days in her memory, carrying too many emotions that could not be easily expressed.

However, now, because it is a dream, Toyokawa Shoko must hide it perfectly and bury it all under a smile.

Yesterday, after unfamiliar memories overwhelmed her mind, Toyokawa Shoko thought for a long time. In the end, she couldn't suppress the urge in her heart—she wanted to go find him.

However, after meeting Ichinose Wakaba, the coldness on her face made Toyokawa Shoko purse her lips—Do you have memories that belong to me?

Not knowing whether Ichinose Wakaba had the same memory as her, Toyokawa Shoko thought of working in the same place as her and then testing the waters.

If she were to discover that Ichinose Wakaba possessed memories belonging to her, then Toyokawa Shoko would say this to the person who had deceived her her entire life.

Even if you lied to me, it's okay. And there's still the matter of Father; I can't forgive you, but that didn't happen. So, let's start over.

Toyokawa Shoko wanted to say this to that person, to tell them how she felt.

If not, or if Ichinose Wakaba pretends not to have that memory...

"Ichinose-kun, are you free right now?"

Not wanting to think about things that were too far away, Toyokawa Shoko once again extended an invitation to Ichinose Wakaba. However, she was rejected.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to resign from the convenience store, so please discuss the specific work arrangements with the store manager, Toyokawa-kun."

Having said that, before Toyokawa Shoko could speak again, Ichinose Wakaba turned to leave, her steps firm and swift. Toyokawa Shoko stood there, her heart tightening, feeling a sudden sense of loss at being isolated. She wanted to say something, but the moment she saw Ichinose Wakaba's retreating figure, all the words stuck in her throat.

They left so decisively.

In the end, all my words turned into a sigh—I guess I was overthinking it.

Having failed in her attempt, Toyokawa Shoko thought of Ichinose Wakaba's resolute retreating figure and realized that perhaps she was overthinking things. After all, it was clearly just a dream.

Moreover, I have more important things to do now.

Her father's despondency and dwindling savings left Toyokawa Shoko with no energy to focus on anything else. Just like in the Sims game, Toyokawa Shoko chose to deal with her father's situation first, rather than dealing with her own feelings.

If Toyokawa Shoko from Ruoye Mutsu's Sim knew that she made this choice in reality, she'd probably be so angry she'd come back to life—you big idiot!!!

It's worth noting that the thing Toyokawa Shoko regretted most in the second life simulation was choosing Ichinose Wakaba over her father.

As a result, her father did not recover, and she lost Ichinose Wakaba, who was taken away by her best friend.

Watching Ichinose Wakaba's departing figure, Toyokawa Shoko felt, for some reason, that she had done something wrong.

One of the main characteristics of simulator novels is that, like the infinite flow genre, they consist of short stories that don't make the reading experience as tedious and boring as long novels.

The advantage is that it can continuously attract people with new ideas, and will not fall into the trap of writing long, unfinished articles.

The downside is that it's mainly for the simulator content, and the transitional chapters in the middle can be quite boring—just move on to the next one, the simulator.

This is also the biggest drawback of simulator novels: the entire plot takes place in the simulation, but in reality, not even a week has passed.

Before I wrote the simulator, I considered how to make the real world less boring.

Some authors create love triangles where several girls with memories from the simulator start vying for the same man's affections.

My idea is to connect with these characters through the abilities granted by the simulator, just like in the chapters I'm writing now. Then, there's the sense of distortion.

Because of the excessive things the protagonist does in the simulation, the simulated object will not have a good feeling about the protagonist in reality.

For some reason, the deceived characters still couldn't help but get closer.

The male protagonist, however, didn't want to get involved with them, so he started to twist his body.

I want to write this kind of story in real life, but I don't know if I can do it well.

Chapter 27. Move the cucumber away!

A day passes by quietly like drifting clouds, and in the blink of an eye, the school bell rings with the end of the last lesson.

The campus of Tsukimori Girls' Academy, this prestigious school for young ladies, still exudes an atmosphere of scholarly pursuits and youthful energy. In the classroom, everything relaxes gently in the afternoon sunlight as students pack up their textbooks, preparing to bid farewell to their studies for the day.

Because it is a prestigious girls' academy, these young ladies will need to learn etiquette, musical instruments, and a series of other skills.

Occasionally, a few rebellious female students would discuss where to go next, or secretly chat about the latest episode of the shoujo manga.

In this warm and peaceful atmosphere, a brown-haired girl quietly walked out of the classroom. Her name was Nagasaki Sosei, and the brown-haired girl's steps were light, as if she were afraid of disturbing others.

"See you tomorrow, Nagasaki-kun."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Nagasaki Sase didn't rush to leave. Instead, she stood at the classroom door, saying goodbye to each of her classmates. Her warm smile shone like sunshine into the hearts of every student, as if no matter what troubles they faced, their companionship allowed them to temporarily set aside their burdens.

Nagasaki Sasuke is the kind of person who always appears when others need him, bringing them comfort and support.

Her long brown hair swayed gently as she turned, like soft feathers, complementing her consistently composed demeanor and creating a silent guiding force. Her unhurried manner gave off a warm sense of security, as if she were an ever-steadfast older sister, always standing behind you, giving you strength.

As for why Nagasaki Sase became this way,

That story begins a long, long time ago, when Nagasaki Sase was still a child, her warm family was broken.

The girl's heart was shrouded in a shadow that was hard to dispel because of her parents' divorce. The age that should have been full of laughter turned into days spent in desolation and loneliness.

On the day her father left, little Nagasaki Sase stood at the door, clutching her mother's hand tightly, unable to understand why her once warm home had suddenly fallen apart. That indescribable sense of loss was deeply etched into her young heart.

After the divorce, the mother became even busier. To make a living, or perhaps to escape the failed marriage, she poured all her energy into her work.

That's why Nagasaki Sase often sits alone in his empty house.

Listening to the ticking of the clock, she hoped to hear familiar footsteps outside the door. But more often than not, Nagasaki Sase was only greeted by her mother's hurried back and a simple greeting. Over time, the brown-haired girl learned to stop expecting and to hide her feelings, because she knew that her mother had already done her best.

You can see the Tokyo Tower, the huge house with an extra-large balcony, and the enrollment in the prestigious girls' school—all results of the mother's hard work.

Therefore, Nagasaki Sase didn't want to cause any more trouble for her mother.

However, this long-term lack of love made her crave affection immensely. She began to fill the void in her heart in her own way—at school, she showed meticulous care for every classmate.

Sase Nagasaki is willing to listen to other people's troubles and soothe those troubled hearts with her warm smile. She hopes that by giving love to others, she can find, to some extent, the part of herself that she has lost.

Nagasaki Sase, with her distinctive voice, thus became the older sister in the eyes of others, filling the emptiness in her heart by relying on the needs of others and by deceiving them without expecting anything in return.

But that alone is not enough.

Nagasaki Sase's heart is not always at peace. Lonely nights, the girl watches TV alone at home and reflects on her experiences.

A 100-inch TV is expensive, and the latest big-budget TV shows don't catch Nagasaki Sosei's eye.

Why am I always so afraid of being alone?

Nagasaki Sase is afraid of losing those around her and afraid of experiencing that emptiness of having no one to rely on again. Therefore, she strives to become stronger and more dependable, becoming the "big sister" in her friends' hearts.

During this period of emptiness, Nagasaki Sase met the most important person in her life – "Want to form a band with me?"

A year ago, a girl in the same grade as Nagasaki Sase approached me. Although she was intrigued by the idea of ​​a band, and the instrument she played wasn't what a band needed.

But when faced with Toyokawa Shoko's words, "I need you, Nagasaki-kun," Nagasaki Sase agreed. Initially, she simply maintained her habit of being a caring older sister.

But her subsequent life in the band, especially with Toyokawa Shoko who always encouraged, cared for, and needed her.

This warm, family-like atmosphere made Nagasaki Sose realize for the first time that joining this band was the wisest choice she had ever made.

This is also why she acted so uncomfortably after Toyokawa Shoko arrived at the band's practice location in the rain and said, "Crychic is disbanding starting today."

Like a resentful woman, she would go to see Toyokawa Shoko every day, hoping that he would change his mind.

But during his high school years after the summer vacation, Nagasaki Sase never saw Toyokawa Shoko again, and when he asked his friends, none of them knew where the blue-haired girl had gone.

I asked another member of the band, who just shook his head and handed me a cucumber.

Hey Xiangzi, where are you? Can we meet?

[Xiangzi, I will always wait for you.]

After that, Nagasaki Sase would send LINE messages to Toyokawa Shoko every day, but received no reply. A normal person, if they didn't receive a reply for a long time, would give up in despair.

But for Nagasaki Sase, Toyokawa Shoko was the important person who saved her from her boring daily life.

"So, Mu, please tell me where Xiangzi is."

The horticulture department was as quiet as ever in the evening, with a gentle breeze carrying the scent of earth and the fragrance of plants.

Once again, Nagasaki Sase stood by the gardening club's small vegetable garden, softly calling Ruoba Mutsumi's name. The doll-like girl stopped what she was doing, looked up at her with her expressionless eyes, as if confirming who it was.

After glancing at Nagasaki Sase, Ruoba Mutsumi looked away and gazed down at the neatly arranged cucumbers in front of her. Each tender cucumber hung from the vine, vibrant green, the result of her countless hours of meticulous care.

Sunlight shines on the cucumber skin, giving it a subtle sheen, making it look like a piece of naturally sculpted art.

In the past, when Ruoye Mu saw these thriving cucumbers, even her doll-like, expressionless face would soften slightly, as if she found a moment of comfort and satisfaction in these vibrant plants. But today, the green-haired girl's eyes lacked their usual tranquility, replaced by a hint of shyness.

This emotion was subtly revealed on her face, without even Ruoye Mu herself noticing. She reached out to gently brush past the vines to touch the cucumber, but her fingertips trembled slightly, betraying the turmoil in her heart.

"Do you want cucumbers, Mu?"

Nagasaki Sase, who was used to being a gentle older sister, noticed this and wondered why Ruoba Mutsumi was unable to touch the cucumber for some reason.

So I picked one off for the other person and used it to shield them.

What Nagasaki Sase was unaware of was that upon seeing the cucumber she offered, Ruoba Mutsumi's mind conjured up the scene of being fed cucumbers by Ichinose Wakaba.

Those suffocating, painful memories, mixed with strange emotions, flooded into Ruoye Mu's mind like a torrent—No!

Compared to Nagasaki Sase in the main Mygo series, the Nagasaki Sase in the manga world is fully fleshed out, and that line "The wicked god" sent chills down my spine—this manga author is amazing.

Xiangzi is also very cute in the comics. As expected of a comic artist who draws yuri (lesbian) stories, he pays great attention to all kinds of small details.

There's also Xiangzi's behavior in the comics.

I need to say this, and I need to thank you no matter what. Thank you.

Who could resist being respected like that?

At that time, Nagasaki Sase was still doubting herself, and to her, this was simply an angel.
