mygo, Villain Simulator

Ichinose Wakaba snapped out of the simulation and instinctively touched his chest, as if he had been stabbed through the heart by a samurai sword.

How did I die?

Ichinose Wakaba's death in The Sims was both abrupt and suspicious. After gaining some power, he stopped fighting as fiercely as before—"Big brother, I'll go first!"

The person who always sent his underlings to charge into battle also cultivated good relationships with the local yakuza groups in private.

The assassination attempt on Ichinose Wakaba was considered a serious provocation by other yakuza groups. It's the 21st century now; everyone makes money peacefully, and nobody fights like they used to.

Even the Yakuza have become the little girl of the Reiwa era.

Therefore, Ichinose Wakaba felt that his death was very suspicious, but there were too few clues and he couldn't figure it out.

Therefore, Ichinose Wakaba entered the simulation again.

After another tragic childhood, Ichinose Wakaba arrives at the day before his death. Remembering that he died last time because he tried to harm Toyokawa Shoko, he decides not to do so this time.

[You didn't intervene, and a day later you heard that the headhunter had died. Sitting in a private room at the club, you became certain that your death was related to Toyokawa Shoko.]

This is your last memory.

You died. You died in a gas leak explosion.

[Simulation ends. 】

Settlement proceeds: Difference

[The rating was too low; no reward was received.]

""

After a long silence, Ichinose Wakaba conducted another simulation.

[You died, although you didn't survive the explosion at the club that day. But the apartment you were hiding in exploded afterward due to a gas leak.]

"So this is what high-difficulty simulation is all about."

After switching to a lower difficulty level and seeing the golden affixes displayed on the lower difficulty, Ichinose Wakaba realized that without advanced affixes, he couldn't clear the higher difficulty level.

[Upon successfully completing a high-level simulation, in addition to the original rewards, you will receive an extra chance to upgrade an attribute level. The attribute to be upgraded and the level to be upgraded are completely random.]

It feels like a scam mobile game.

Ignoring the feature that wouldn't be available for a long time, Ichinose Wakaba began to observe the new simulated words.

[Strong Physique (Gold): Do you know the leader? You now possess his incredible physique, allowing you to sing on stage for two hours straight without getting out of breath. Wearing that black bandage outfit, you can sing for three hours straight without exhaustion.]

Jeet Kune Do (Gold): As a technique created by Bruce Lee, you can fight 10 people at once, just like his master Ip Man.

[Sweet talk (white): As a person, your words are much sweeter than the average person's, equivalent to a male escort who can trick you into ordering champagne for him.]

[Fierce (White): On the street, ordinary people dare not approach you, and you will be stopped by patrol officers and questioned as a yakuza member (similar to Takasu Ryuji).]

[You're a pervert (in red), someone who can wear bread on their face without batting an eye. P.S. Compare this to Zhi Shen; you're even more perverted than him.]

After selecting a lower difficulty level, Ichinose Wakaba noticed that the number and level of the newly refreshed entries had increased.

Furthermore, the option has been expanded from allowing only one choice to allowing the selection of three.

"That means the intermediate level can choose two entries at a time."

After thinking it over, Ichinose Wakaba skipped the crimson "perverted" entry and chose "fierce" as his third entry. After all, if he were to join the yakuza, a fierce face would make things much easier.

In a previous simulation, he looked like a baby due to malnutrition and was looked down upon by many people.

So, this time, the person who chose the lowest difficulty and obtained the powerful attribute said he would complete the game in one life!

Episode 8 was really fun to watch. It's really entertaining if you watch it without thinking too much, but if you watch it with your brain...

Chapter 3 I am a gentle Yazaku

[You were born at age 0, disliked by your mother because of your fierce-looking face. And because your face was so fierce, the man who came to your door exclaimed, "How could someone as handsome as me give birth to a child like this?!"]

Because you couldn't get money to give to the cowherd, your mother abandoned you.

Looking at the endless snow and the hungry stray dogs nearby, their eyes gleaming green, just when you thought the simulation was about to end, a man appeared before you.

At age 5, you were adopted by a yakuza member, a high-ranking officer in the organization's combat faction. He had a pleasant encounter with your mother, but because it was so long ago, your mother never contacted him.

Under these circumstances, you became their adopted son and began living within the organization.

At 15, because of your exceptional fighting skills, you took over the power from your adoptive father, becoming a high-ranking member of the organization and the owner of a club.

At 16, you met Toyokawa Shoko, who had been tricked into coming by a headhunter.

Shoko Toyokawa is now scared and wants to run away. She had seen a job posting on the street that said the hourly wage was 3000 yen and there were no age or working hours restrictions.

Having recently severed ties with her grandfather, Toyokawa Shoko has been searching for work to support her family. However, aside from delivering newspapers, she has been turned down for all other jobs because we don't hire junior high school graduates.

The newspaper delivery wages were meager, barely enough to support Toyokawa Shoko and her father. So, after seeing the job advertisement, the naive young lady was tricked into joining.

When she arrived, Toyokawa Shoko looked at the scantily clad women around her and realized she had been deceived. But now, she couldn't leave.

Why do you need money?

Judging by her attire alone, Ichinose Wakaba, dressed in a well-tailored suit, looks like a high-class office worker. But if you put that face on top of that, she gives off a yakuza vibe—how terrifying!

""

Terrified and trembling uncontrollably, Toyokawa Shoko wanted to run out the door. But then she thought of her despondent father and her grandfather, who had made her abandon him.

The fear and hesitation in her heart vanished in the face of these words. Facing the man who had been silent after asking her a question, Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth and said, "My father was cheated, so I want to work and earn money."

The most embarrassing scene had been witnessed, and since the man in front of her was not one of the familiar faces she had been hiding, Toyokawa Shoko exposed everything she had been concealing.

Do you have any jobs available for me?

"Except for that kind."

Despite her lack of worldly experience, Toyokawa Shoko had received sex education. She simply wanted to see if this place would hire her, since other places didn't hire child laborers.

"I can even do cleaning work!"

Under Toyokawa Shoko's gaze, which held both fear and anticipation, Ichinose Wakaba's lips curled into a professional smile: "We are a legitimate establishment and do not employ child laborers."

Although it's a professional, signature smile, the smile that appeared on Ichinose Wakaba's face was like that of a demon from hell.

Startled once again, Toyokawa Shoko unconsciously froze, her fingers tightening around her backpack strap, her inner tension growing stronger.

Suppressing her inner fear, Toyokawa Shoko tried her best to appear calm, putting on the elegant demeanor of a young lady: "Is that so? Thank you for letting me know. I'm sorry to have bothered you, I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, a disappointed Toyokawa Shoko picked up her bag and got up to leave. Just then, the silent man pulled out his wallet from his pocket.

"Although we don't have a suitable job for you at the store, I have a job available to me. I wonder if you would be willing to accept it?"

Looking at Fukuzawa Yukichi peeking out of the wallet, Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips with her teeth.

[At 17, Toyokawa Shoko and you grew closer over the past year. You gave her 5000 yen for walking the dog once, citing my night shift commitments.]

"Poch-chan, come here."

The young and beautiful flowers, having not witnessed too much of the darkness of humanity through their work as telephone customer service representatives, remain as plump and healthy as buds protected in a greenhouse.

Earning 5000 yen a day, Toyokawa Shoko's monthly income reached a staggering 15 yen. For the average office worker, their monthly income after taxes, even after a month of hard work, is roughly equivalent to her daily earnings from walking her dog.

Carefully putting the waste produced by the dachshund named Pochi into a bag, Toyokawa Shoko, having finished her walk, headed towards Ichinose Wakaba's apartment.

"I am back."

Carrying groceries bought from the supermarket on the way, because of the excessive amount of money given to her that year, Toyokawa Shoko gradually took over the cleaning and cooking work at the Ichinose household.

"Ichinose-kun has left his clothes lying around again."

Noticing the mess of clothes on the ground, Toyokawa Shoko's pretty cheeks puffed out slightly, as if she was throwing a little tantrum at someone who wouldn't listen no matter how many times she was told.

Holding her skirt up with her hands, the girl half-squatted on the ground, picking up Ichinose Wakaba's clothes that she had changed out of, and expertly tossed them, along with her underwear, into the washing machine.

The girl, who used to blush at the sight of men's clothing, has become accustomed to it this year because she has been taking care of her father and employer.

Pressing the washing machine button, and under the watchful eye of the dachshund, Toyokawa Shoko entered the kitchen and began preparing today's meal.

"Take these back for Father to eat."

At first, Toyokawa Shoko noticed that her employer was eating convenience store bento boxes, so she made bento boxes for him a few times to thank Ichinose Wakaba for taking care of him.

Then one day...

"Don't send the lunchboxes over so early every day."

Ichinose Wakaba took out extra money from her wallet and gave it to Toyokawa Shoko, saying, "You can use the kitchen here. You can cook something after you take Poke-chan for a walk."

As a result, Toyokawa Shoko's schedule changed.

Instead of cooking extra meals for her father when she got home in the evening, and then handing them to Ichinose Wakaba when she came home from get off work the next morning, she started cooking at Wakaba's apartment after school every day, putting the leftovers in the refrigerator, and bringing the leftovers home for her father to have for dinner.

A year has passed since then, and Toyokawa Shoko has gotten used to this kind of life. She's gotten used to taking the subway for 10 minutes after school to Ichinose Wakaba's house and walking her dachshund named Pochi-chan for half an hour.

They've gotten used to helping each other pack clothes and cook delicious meals every day.

I've gotten into the habit of spending some time at the other person's apartment after making dinner.

I've gotten used to occasionally wondering if Ichinose Wakaba will come home early from get off work.

This seems alright too.

The dazed girl let Pochi lick her hand. If this kind of daily life could continue like this, Toyokawa Shoko thought it would be nice.

When she left her grandfather, the girl had thought she might not be able to make it. But now, that worry was gone.

My only worry is when my father will be able to pull himself together.

"Don't be impatient, Father will definitely be able to pull himself together. After all, Mother said that sincerity is Father's virtue."

Holding the dachshund, Toyokawa Shoko imagined a future where her father would pull himself together.

If nothing unexpected happens, the girl's dream will come true.

And then the unexpected happens along with the everyday.

Actually, I quite like the character Toyokawa Shoko. Her beautiful body and fragile personality make you want to bully her and see if she will be defeated by hardship and break down.

Or is it that overcoming hardship makes one more attractive?

And that was it.

Chapter 4: What is a bad person?

At 17, you accompanied Shoko Toyokawa to the police station. There, you and Shoko met her father, who was being held in custody for being drunk.

"He got drunk and went on a rampage, smashing up the shop."

This is the fourth time.

"Keep an eye on him."

"If there is a next time, he may face criminal penalties."

Despite the police's warning, Toyokawa Shoko silently stared at the man before her. Compared to the handsome and gentle father she remembered, the man now had a stubble beard and reeked of something repulsive.

Because of excessive drinking, Toyokawa's father was deathly pale, and his body, trembling uncontrollably from alcohol poisoning, looked miserable. He lowered his head and huddled it against his chest, as if he didn't want his daughter to see him like this.

This is the scene that Ichinose Wakaba saw when she returned after paying bail.

"Xiangzi, take your father back first."

After flagging down a taxi on the side of the road, Ichinose Wakaba pushed Toyokawa Shoko into the car, despite her expression suggesting that she wanted to say something.

Ichinose Wakaba has recently helped many girls with this behavior, and because of these incidents, the relationship between the two has become closer.

Watching the father and daughter leave, you felt you could accelerate the plan.

[At 18, that year, Toyokawa Shoko came to your apartment as usual to take Pei-chan for a walk and cook for you.]

But when you ask about her father, all you get is a silence that the girl doesn't want to talk about.

[To change the subject, you brought up what you saw at the meeting place last time.]

[That was one time you came home early from get off work. You saw three girls at your doorstep. One of them was Toyokawa Shoko, and the other two were girls wearing the same school uniform. The brown-haired girl looked very sad, then knelt down and hugged Toyokawa Shoko's legs, saying, "Don't go, I'll do anything."]

[Upon hearing your suggestion to repeat a year, Toyokawa Shoko gave you a resentful look. Then, she began to tell their story.]

The blue-haired girl, who already considers you one of the most important people in her life, is willing to share her wounds with you.

After listening, you remained silent. Toyokawa Shoko didn't think much of it, but the next day, when she discovered an electronic keyboard, piano, guitar, and other musical instruments in the apartment, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh—truly, she was being hypocritical.

At 19, with the instruments you provided and the salary you gave her, Toyokawa Shoko decided to give it her all. She picked up the band she had abandoned again, hoping to help her father atone for his mistakes by forming a "Galactic Fleet." And then, she wanted to bring back the man her mother had praised for his sincerity.
