"Mr. Arima, I accept your apology."
Nodding, Ichinose Wakaba, relying on her acting skills, stood on the moral high ground, making the hat-wearing girl keep apologizing for her misunderstanding—"I will do anything, please forgive me!"
At this point, if Ichinose Wakaba wanted the other party to do something, all she needed to do was forcefully pin Arima Kana to the ground. The other party would hesitate because of the misunderstanding just now, and then become obedient because of the content of the nightmare.
Alternatively, if he directly revealed his identity, the wine-red-haired girl would regret in her heart why she provoked him and then be subjected to this and that by Ichinose Wakaba.
Just like in the simulation.
Unfortunately, the real world is not a simulation, and Ichinose Wakaba would never do something that would land her in prison.
So, after giving Arima Kana a little prank, and with the other person's expectation that he was a good person, Ichinose Wakaba left Arima Kana's apartment.
And then—while I can't do those things, there are some things I can do.
On the way, Ichinose Wakaba sent all the information about Hoshino Ai and the doctor's deaths to Hoshino Aqua via an anonymous email address.
Furthermore, it was added that: Your sister is Hikaru Kamiki's next target.
After doing this and subtly influencing Hoshino Aqua, Ichinose Wakaba stopped paying attention to the matter.
Just days later, news reports surfaced about the deaths of a popular young actor and the CEO of a well-known talent agency.
The storyline with the pusher ends here for now. Of course, she'll reappear in the future, and the reason for her return will be quite comical.
Just think about the two groups of 10 people each, plus all sorts of other people, it's impossible to write them all down.
I will select some characters that interest me to focus on, while the others will only play supporting roles.
Chapter 38: A Surprise for Soyo.
After having a pleasant chat with Kana Arima, Ichinose Wakaba left after exchanging contact information.
After that, a week passed peacefully, except for the fact that one of his biological sons killed his father, which caught his attention. Nothing else happened.
During this time, Ichinose Wakaba was too busy making money to go to Shimokitazawa to wait for the Archangel.
During his free time, he conducted two more simulations. The first was a high-difficulty simulation of Toyokawa Shoko. The scenario changed; he became a member of a branch family of the Toyokawa clan. Because he tried to harm Toyokawa Mizue, he died a horrible death, taken away by Toyokawa Shoko's grandmother in one fell swoop.
Because of this unfortunate experience, Ichinose Wakaba, who originally wanted to challenge Ruoba Mutsumi's advanced simulation again, backed down—why does it involve changing the plot?
If the storyline isn't changed, Ichinose Wakaba thinks he might be able to pass the high difficulty level.
Besides the simulation, Ichinose Wakaba's YouTube career is very successful. She maintains a daily posting pace and has successfully surpassed 100 million followers thanks to the magic of her videos.
In an instant, he surpassed Yutenji Ruomai's fan count, becoming someone the other could only look up to.
After seeing Ichinose Wakaba's popularity skyrocket, Yutenji Wakamu was furious for several days afterward—this popularity should have been mine!
Because of Youter's success, Ichinose Wakaba earned a lot of money.
"One, Ten, Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand"
As she counted the amount in her bankbook, Ichinose Wakaba felt cheerful, and even the failure of the simulation seemed insignificant.
"Let's go find a new house now."
Although the amount of money is not enough for Ichinose Wakaba to buy a detached house, it is enough to move to a better place to live than she does now.
On a Sunday afternoon, sunlight filtered through thin clouds, casting a bright and warm glow on the street. Ichinose Wakaba, dressed in a simple shirt and jacket, entered a real estate agency on the street corner. He pushed open the glass door, and the wind chimes on it tinkled softly.
The store was simply and cleanly decorated, with various housing information posted on the walls. Upon seeing someone enter, the real estate agent immediately greeted them with a professional smile: "Hello, how can I help you?"
"An apartment suitable for living alone," Ichinose Wakaba simply explained her needs. "It should be quiet, sunny, and not too far from the subway station. Also, it should be safe."
While fame brought Ichinose Wakaba a huge fortune, it also made him the target of others' covetous eyes.
Some people are curious about what Ichinose Wakaba looks like under her mask, some are curious whether Ichinose Wakaba's videos are special effects or real magic, and some just like to expose other people's identities.
The place where Ichinose Wakaba lives is not hard to find. The sound of the railway by the roadside can be easily located by referring to the train schedule.
Therefore, for safety reasons, Ichinose Wakaba needs to find a safe apartment.
The staff member nodded, his fingers flying across the keyboard: "Okay, we have some properties that fit your requirements. I can recommend a few for you to take a look."
Ichinose Wakaba nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the property listings handed to her.
Guided by the staff, he browsed through several documents and was eventually drawn to a small apartment with large windows. Located in a quiet neighborhood, the apartment boasted excellent natural light and offered views of a nearby park.
Most importantly, this apartment is exceptionally safe, specifically because residents can only access their own floor via the elevator.
Going to other floors is impossible unless you are invited by someone else.
“This set is very good,” Ichinose Wakaba said, pointing to the picture.
"You have excellent taste. This apartment just became available recently, and it's in really good condition." The staff member smiled approvingly. "Why don't we go take a look at it now?"
Thanks to the performance of the talented actress, Ichinose Wakaba was not treated as a troublemaking child, but as a successful young professional.
Without a doubt that Ichinose Wakaba could afford the rent for the apartment, the expensive apartment was recommended to him by the real estate agent.
Nodding, Ichinose got into the real estate agent's car and headed to the location of the apartment she had chosen.
Nagasaki Sase stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowing slightly. The sound of the elevator behind her was exceptionally clear in the quiet space, and the floor indicator light was stuck on "20," the very floor she was on.
The girl turned around, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards the elevator at the end of the corridor.
Already in a bad mood, she became even more sensitive to the sudden noise. Having just been rebuffed by Ruoye Mutsu and unable to get any news about Toyokawa Shoko, her patience was almost completely worn out.
The girl took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but she still couldn't suppress the inexplicable unease.
"strangeness……"
Nagasaki Sase muttered to himself, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
There were only two households on the entire 20th floor, and apart from herself and her mother, she had almost never seen any other strangers visit.
After all, it's a big house with a super large balcony with a great view; one more floor and it wouldn't be able to fit everyone.
The building has a very tight security system; only those with access cards can enter the elevator and select a specific floor.
As for the administrators, they will not come to the residents' floors casually. If there is something to discuss, they will contact the owner first before coming up.
Today, Nagasaki Sase did not hear from her mother that the administrator would be coming.
Therefore, Nagasaki Sase, who would take the elevator to this floor at this time, felt that there would be no one else besides her mother.
"Wait, could it be Mom coming back?"
Nagasaki Sase suddenly had this thought, and his furrowed brows relaxed.
She thought of her mother, who was more like a daughter than a mother, and couldn't help but smile softly.
That childish woman might indeed do that—to surprise her daughter, she wouldn't tell Nagasaki Sase that she finished work early and rushed back home.
"It's just like something a mother would do..."
Nagasaki Sase muttered to himself, a slight smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.
In my imagination, the always energetic mother was probably carrying a shopping bag from the supermarket in one hand and some strange "little gifts" in the other, happily waiting for the elevator to take her home to cook a sumptuous dinner. She was eagerly anticipating seeing her daughter's surprised and happy expression when she returned. However, she never expected that her daughter would also return early today.
The "double surprise" is quite in line with Nagasaki's mother's consistent style of doing things.
Thinking of this, Nagasaki Sosei's gloomy mood after being rejected by Ruoba Mutsumi vanished, and she even felt much lighter. She took a soft breath, straightened up, and her steps became lighter.
Nagasaki Sase stood at the elevator door, bending down to straighten her clothes, trying to calm the frustration caused by Ruoye Mutsumi's rejection. She took a deep breath, a smile playing on her lips, trying to appear as composed as usual.
"What kind of expression will Mom have when she sees me at home?" she wondered, her gaze falling on the floor indicator lights, watching the numbers climb floor by floor, her heart gradually filled with anticipation.
The elevator finally stopped at the 20th floor, and a crisp announcement rang out. Nagasaki Sase straightened his back, already picturing his mother's bright smiling face in his mind, ready to welcome this unexpected "surprise".
However, when the elevator doors slowly opened, she was greeted not by her mother, but by someone who shouldn't have been there.
Start writing about widows (
Chapter 39 Does he have a relationship with his father?
The moment the elevator doors opened, Nagasaki Sase looked up, expecting to see a familiar figure.
However, instead of her smiling, childlike mother, she was greeted by two people she had never seen before!
Nagasaki Sase was stunned for a moment, her smile freezing slightly on her face. She hadn't expected this at all; her mother, whom she had been looking forward to, was nowhere to be seen. In her place stood a stranger, and the last person she wanted to see was standing before her.
That newly formed good mood was replaced by a hint of wariness and disgust.
The boy was about the same age as Nagasaki Sase, and he was wearing a single shirt and a jacket. Standing next to him was a woman in business attire, holding a stack of documents; she appeared to be a real estate agent showing the apartment to a prospective tenant.
As for why it's just "appears," it's because in Nagasaki Sase's eyes, Ichinose Wakaba clearly doesn't seem like a tenant who can afford to rent this place.
The clothes she wore were all very ordinary, and they were quite faded from washing.
In Japan, Uniqlo is considered a brand for the common people. While wearing Uniqlo doesn't necessarily mean you're poor, wealthy people certainly wouldn't wear faded or worn-out clothes.
[Could it be thanks to Ms. Arima's help?]
Thinking about what he had seen a few days ago, Nagasaki Sase was filled with vigilance—he already had Ms. Arima, yet he was still clinging to Shoko!
That day, Nagasaki Sase waited outside Arima Kana's apartment for a long time, long enough for her to confirm one thing—the relationship between the two was unusual.
If it weren't for school the next day, Nagasaki Sosei would have staked out the spot until he could film Ichinose Wakaba walking out of Arima Kana's apartment in the morning.
Although Ichinose Wakaba left Arima Kana's apartment not long after the brown-haired girl left, Nagasaki Sase, who was already prejudiced, would always see Ichinose Wakaba as a scumbag no matter what she did.
At that moment, the air was quiet, and even the sound of the elevator doors slowly closing seemed unusually loud.
Just as Nagasaki Sase was considering whether to ask the building manager to kick the two people out, the real estate agent spoke first, his voice polite and professional: "Hello, I am a real estate agent. This is Mr. Ichinose. He wants to rent an apartment here, and we are here today to check on the apartment."
Upon hearing this self-introduction, Nagasaki Sase was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at the man in front of him.
"Ichinose?"
Because of the surname Nagasaki Sase, her attention was diverted. She silently recited the familiar surname in her heart, and a long-ago memory involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Before Nagasaki Sase's parents divorced, her name was "Ichinose Sase". Although that time is now far behind her, this surname still leaves a deep imprint on the young girl's heart.
Thinking of something, Nagasaki Sase secretly glanced at the man who was the same age as her, trying to find a sense of familiarity in his face, but the other party's expression was calm and composed, as if it had nothing to do with her past memories.
[There shouldn't be any connection, right? I remember the reason my parents divorced was because my dad cheated on me. Could this boy be my dad's child?]
Nagasaki Sase asked herself this question, yet she couldn't help but think further. Could this sudden "new neighbor" have some connection to her former Ichinose family?
"Huh? A boy about your age, his name is Ichinose?"
Nagasaki mother, returning home from working overtime, takes off her high heels while listening to her daughter casually recount the day's events.
"Hmm, it seems he wants to rent the apartment next door, he said it's called Ichinose Wakaba."
Nagasaki Sase sat on the sofa, his hands folded, holding a cup of hot tea. His tone seemed calm, but his eyes were secretly observing his mother's changing expressions.
Although she dislikes what Ichinose Wakaba does, Nagasaki Sase wants to try to learn about the past because of her memories.
Upon hearing the name, Nagasaki's mother paused, her hand resting on the shoe cabinet. She slowly raised her head, looking at her daughter, a hint of surprise and doubt flashing in her eyes: "Ichinose Wakaba? Are you sure?"
“Yes, he said it himself.” Nagasaki Sase raised an eyebrow, looking at his mother’s reaction. “What’s wrong, Mom? Do you know him?”
Nagasaki's mother paused for a moment, then gave a slightly bitter smile: "...I don't know him, but I never expected to hear this surname."
"What do you mean?" Nagasaki Sase put down his teacup, looked directly at his mother, and asked in a tentative tone, "What does this have to do with our past?"
Nagasaki's mother's smile became somewhat complicated. She walked to the sofa, sat down, rubbed her temples, and said in a lower voice, "Ichinose... wasn't that the surname you used when you were little? Before your father and I divorced."
“Of course I remember.” Nagasaki Sase nodded, his gaze shifting from probing to direct stare. “That’s why I found it strange. He’s also Ichinose. Could it be… related to my father?”
Nagasaki's mother sighed and said softly, "There are so many people in the world with the same surname; they might not actually be connected. But..."
She paused, her eyes flickering slightly, clearly hiding something.
Watching her mother's retreating figure, clearly unwilling to say more, Nagasaki Sase felt even more puzzled, but she didn't press for an answer. She simply lowered her eyes and sighed softly.
"A coincidence..."
Nagasaki Sase murmured softly, the man's calm gaze and the tone of his voice when he introduced himself resurfacing in her mind. The girl inexplicably felt that this could not possibly be just a coincidence.
Nagasaki Sase knew very little about her parents' divorce. At that time, she was still young and unable to truly understand the complex emotional issues between adults.
Nagasaki Sase only remembers feeling as if she had been pushed to the center of a whirlpool, with countless whispers and strange looks from her classmates making her feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Have you heard? Soyo's parents got divorced.
[How pitiful, what will she do in the future?]
[It seems to be the fault of soyo's mother.]
These words were like a persistent nightmare; whenever they echoed in her mind, Nagasaki Sase longed to escape that environment. Therefore, she never brought up that past, much less wanted to touch upon it.
As time went by, Nagasaki Sase gradually grew up.
Watching her mother single-handedly support the family, seeing her mother leave early and return late every day, looking exhausted, her doubts and curiosity were gradually suppressed—it would hurt her mother.
