mygo, Villain Simulator

The blue-haired young lady lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.

My fingertips gripped the fork tightly, but my heart felt as if it had been gently touched, rippling outwards in waves.

These two chapters are a bit too artsy, but when it comes to Xiao Xiang, hehe, I still have to write some of this kind of plot.

Chapter 172 The Danger Exposed?

As the person who has spent the most time with the blue-haired young lady, Ichinose Wakaba immediately realized that Toyokawa Shoko had discovered his true purpose for today.

After all, that's a lifetime (

Unlike the other simulated subjects who died midway through, or the couple who were supposed to be together for life but ended up having different dreams despite sleeping in the same bed, the blue-haired young lady was truly deceived by Ichinose Wakaba without any emotional reaction.

So when I saw that Toyokawa Shoko's brows weren't furrowed and she finally relaxed, Ichinose Wakaba felt much better.

The guilt I felt for deceiving the young girl lessened somewhat.

After finishing their meal, the two leaned back in their chairs, exhaling as if slowly waking from the satisfaction of the delicious food. Ichinose Wakaba picked up her water glass, took a small sip, and casually glanced at the bright sky outside the window.

"It tastes really good?"

Ichinose Wakaba looked at Toyokawa Shoko across from her, who had a faint smile on her lips.

"Mmm." The blue-haired young lady nodded, the satisfaction still lingering in her eyes and brows. "It's even better than I imagined."

I initially thought I was there for work, but it turned out to be a well-intentioned lie by Ichinose Wakaba. Furthermore, the restaurant she chose, both in terms of ambiance and food, seemed perfectly suited to my future.

Therefore, the blue-haired young lady was in a very good mood at the moment.

This is one of only two times she has been in a good mood since her mother passed away.

the first time?

That was when the suffering came to fruition.

Seeing that the blue-haired octopus was in a good mood, Ichinose Wakaba seized the opportunity to make a suggestion, speaking naturally.

"Shall we find a place to sit down?"

Shoko Toyokawa is a very opinionated person, one could even say stubborn. Like a cat, you can only pet her if you go along with her.

Of course, once you're familiar with her and have truly entered Toyokawa Shoko's heart, breaking down the walls of her heart, then you can do whatever you want with her.

Even if you don't want to masturbate, your partner might run into your arms and say, "Hug me!"

The afternoon sun was lovely, but the weather made people a little restless.

Upon hearing Ichinose Wakaba's words, Toyokawa Shoko paused slightly, subconsciously lowering her eyes before raising her head after two seconds: "I know a coffee shop next to the RING shopping mall I frequent. It's not a big place, but it's not crowded and quite quiet."

As she stepped out of the restaurant, the sunlight streamed down, dappling the ground through the gaps in the roadside trees, making Toyokawa Shoko's eyes shine.

She took a soft breath. The air was filled with the lingering aroma of food and the scent of grass, warm and comforting, like a familiar sense of peace. Her stomach was full, and so was her heart—that feeling of being filled with tenderness spread from her stomach all the way to her chest.

I haven't felt this way in a long time...

At first, when Ichinose Wakaba suggested, "Would you like to go somewhere to sit and chat?", Toyokawa Shoko actually wanted to refuse.

The girl's instincts told her that she should no longer rely on this tenderness, nor should she indulge in this almost luxurious sense of ease.

only--

Toyokawa Shoko recalled that all day long, the other person had been quietly taking care of her emotions and trying to help her relax.

She even made detailed plans for today's itinerary... Thinking of this, the blue-haired young lady quietly said in her heart, "Thank you, Erii."

Honestly, this feeling of being cared for is really not bad.

Not wanting to disappoint the person holding her hand—and, Toyokawa Shoko was indeed a little tired and wanted to find a place to rest, even if only for a moment.

Therefore, Toyokawa Shoko made a decision she hadn't made in a long time:

Today, she wants to forget all her troubles.

Forget about your father, forget about your family responsibilities, and even... forget about "that person" who always lingers in your heart.

Today, Toyokawa Shoko is just an ordinary high school girl.

Sunlight shone on her hair, and a gentle breeze rustled the hem of her skirt. She didn't push away the hand that was holding hers, nor did she turn back.

So be it.

At least today, Toyokawa Shoko just wants to have a good, quiet laugh.

The café is tucked away in a small alley in the RING shopping mall. The wooden signboard is a bit old, but it's warmed by the sunlight. Several potted green plants sit by the entrance, and a handwritten blackboard menu leans against the door, listing the day's recommended desserts.

“This is it.” Toyokawa Shoko stood at the doorway, glancing back at the girl behind her. “I come here occasionally.”

Because of its proximity to the Ring club, and because her favorite school band often came here, Toyokawa Shoko would bring her teammates here after her grueling practice sessions.

However, that was almost a year ago.

Recently, because she didn't have much money, Toyokawa Shoko has only come twice.

One time, Ruoye Mutsu took the initiative to approach her and told her about Nagasaki Sase.

That day, the blue-haired young lady was in a bad mood because of this incident.

On one hand, it was because of Nagasaki Sasuke's persistent nagging, and on the other hand, it was because I was broke—black tea was too expensive.

At that time, although it was Toyokawa Shoko, whom Ruoye Mutsuke had always considered her older sister, Toyokawa Shoko paid the bill first.

Then, the not-so-cheap black tea dealt a heavy blow to the blue-haired young lady's wallet.

The second time was yesterday, and this time she made an appointment with Ruoye Mu.

This time, however, Toyokawa Shoko was in a good mood.

Because of that song called "Silent Night", because I found a new job, and because I learned some information about Ichinose Wakaba.

Although she had been troubled for a long time about the fact that Ichinose Wakaba was actually Nagasaki Sase's younger brother, Toyokawa Shoko decided to be gentler the next time the other woman came looking for her, for the sake of her husband.

After all, she's someone who will become my older sister in the future.

The air was filled with the aroma of coffee beans and vanilla, and the background music was a gentle jazz piano piece, as if it were a carefully crafted moment for the two of them.

"Here's the menu." Xiangzi handed over the menu, then took it back as if he remembered something. "Ah... no, you're the one planning the itinerary today, so you should order."

"Does Xiao Xiang have any recommendations?"

Without hesitation, Ichinose Wakaba took the menu, the names on the page making his head spin. He felt that cola suited him better than black tea or coffee.

"I recommend Darjeeling."

"It would taste great with apple juice in it."

Listening to the blue-haired young lady's introduction, Ichinose Wakaba nodded and waved to the waiter—two Darjeeling glasses.

Would you like a strawberry cream cake?

Ichinose Wakaba looked up at her, her tone light, but her eyes held a hint of cunning, as if she had already seen through the blue-haired young lady's thoughts.

"I just ate..."

Although Toyokawa Shoko verbally declined, her tone clearly showed little resistance.

Ichinose Wakaba's lips curved slightly, as if she was suppressing a laugh: "Girls always have a second stomach for dessert~"

Her tone was light, yet it carried an air of unquestionable certainty.

This made Toyokawa Shoko burst out laughing: "Alright, then... I'll leave it to you."

When the cake was served, the white cream was as fluffy as a cloud, topped with a fresh strawberry. Looking at it, Xiangzi suddenly felt his heart soften.

The two ate and chatted slowly, talking about books, exhibitions, school, music, and their favorite pieces of music.

On such an ordinary noon, Toyokawa Shoko felt a long-lost sense of ease and peace.

No family, no pressure, no heavy responsibilities.

Only she, and the red-haired girl sitting opposite her, meticulously planning her day.

Toyokawa Shoko glanced at her quietly, a voice rising in her heart: "Thank you."

Another thing is that I wish this peaceful daily life could last a little longer.

However, this thought ended when the girl suddenly appeared beside him.

Chapter 173 Today is the day of exposure!

The wind chimes outside the coffee shop tinkled softly in the breeze, their tinkling sounds echoing in the sunlight like some kind of signal.

Just as Toyokawa Shoko and Ichinose Wakaba were chatting happily, a figure quietly appeared by the flower bushes outside the shop.

She was a girl wearing a dark blue plaid skirt.

She seemed to have just walked from the other end of the alley, her steps were very light, and she made no sound.

Her hair was light green, flowing smoothly over her shoulders, with a small hair clip tucked into each strand, swaying gently in the breeze. Her skin was almost translucent white, as delicate as a porcelain doll, while her amber eyes gazed silently ahead, like a lake that never rippled.

She stood there like a quiet doll, her presence subtle yet unforgettable. Her dress was vintage-style, a combination of plaid and lace, cinched at the waist, emphasizing her slender figure. The ribbon around her neck swayed gently in the breeze, as if she might be carried away by the wind at any moment.

"Mu?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Toyokawa Shoko spotted half of her body—What are you doing here?!

The girl slightly raised her head, blinked, and showed no surprise or extra expression, as if she was always meant to be there.

Her voice was soft and slow: "...just passing by."

Ruoye Mu's tone was unreadable, but its unusual calmness made her seem even more sincere.

But she didn't move or leave.

He simply watched Toyokawa Shoko and Ichinose Wakaba quietly, his eyes seeming to be confirming something.

[Holy crap?! What's she doing here?!]

To say that Ruoye Mutsu was just passing by, Ichinose Wakaba shouldn't even be considered to be—it's absolutely false.

Everyone knows that the girl in front of them is like a puppet in her parents' hands, with no freedom whatsoever.

I have ballet class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; etiquette class on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; and a social event on the last day.

"You're here... for coffee too?"

Toyokawa Wakaba smiled, trying to ease the unexpected silence, and casually introduced Ichinose Wakaba, who was doing her makeup for Uesugi Erii, "This child is named Ruoba Mutsumi, and she is my childhood friend."

"Hello, my name is Ruoye Mu."

Ruoye Mutsumi nodded, responding faintly, but said nothing more. However, she didn't leave either, and sat down under the gazes of Ichinose Wakaba and Toyokawa Shoko.

Like a delicate doll forgotten in the afternoon light and shadow, the appearance of the pale green-haired girl did not break the atmosphere. Instead, it was as if she added a destined reunion to this tranquil painting.

"Sorry, I'll provide Mu's copy."

Since Toyokawa Shoko was an employee, and today was a special treat from Ichinose Wakaba, she could rightfully enjoy the other party's hospitality.

But Motomu Ruoye was different; she was neither an employee of Wakaba Ichinose nor someone who knew her.

To put it bluntly, he was just an uninvited guest.

Therefore, Toyokawa Shoko stated that she would pay Ruoye Mutsu's bills.

"It's okay~ Xiao Xiang's friend is my friend too. (Inkball Flag IV Flag Private (5) 6~)"

Ichinose Wakaba first brought over a waiter, then handed the menu to the waiter and asked the light green-haired girl what she wanted to drink.

While casually observing Ruoye Mu's expression—were you following me?

Yesterday, that GPS tracker still terrified him. Although he gave the bag of cucumbers to Nagasaki Sōse after getting home, he also conveniently put the GPS tracker, bag and all, into the locker.

Afterwards, Ichinose Wakaba returned to her room and carefully searched her entire body—nothing.

Considering that Ruo Ye Mu was not a professional agent, and that he himself possessed the abilities of a top-tier assassin, he realized that Ruo Ye Mu was not.

Therefore, Ichinose Wakaba felt much relieved after checking that there was no second GPS locator.

Before he could feel at ease for long, Ruoye Mu appeared in front of him.

Who would believe there's no ghost involved?!

And what about the bamboo leaves?

At that moment, the girl with light green hair took out two books from her handbag and handed one to each of Ichinose Wakaba and Toyokawa Shoko.

"Mu, when did you write your new book?"
