My Romance Simulation with Them

"I'll hang up now and we'll talk tomorrow."

Without responding to Nishiki Chizuka's words, Nango Toki simply spoke.

"Ah. Okay, bye~ See you tomorrow, Toki-kun~ I'm counting on you!"

Hearing the cute, drawn-out tone of Nishiki Chizuka on the other end of the phone, Nango Toki hung up immediately.

Then he looked up and glanced at the time.

It's around 10 PM now.

It's too late to start learning now.

As for simulation...

The problem with Chizuka Nishiki's heart has not yet been resolved. Even if we simulate it now, it will only lead to a regrettable ending.

In other words—

"Let's go to sleep."

Since I have to get up early to run tomorrow anyway, I might as well catch up on some sleep now.

Thinking of this, Nanxiang turned off the light, and at the same time, charged her phone. Then, without hesitation, she rolled over and snuggled into the quilt.

He sleeps very well and has almost no symptoms of insomnia.

Soon, soft snoring began.

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere here in Nango, the atmosphere at the 'Rikorik' café on the other side is completely different.

Although each of them chose to respect Nishiki Chizuka's choice.

But that doesn’t mean they aren’t worried about each other.

The appearance of Nanxiang did indeed bring a glimmer of almost imperceptible hope.

But if it ultimately fails, the extreme sense of loss from hope turning into despair.

Only Chizuka Nishiki could understand that.

With such a feeling of unease and anxiety.

All the members of 'RicoRico' are having trouble sleeping tonight.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next day, Nango got up and went for a run as usual.

Your physical condition has improved slightly, and your exercise value has increased to 7.

The motion value remained unchanged.

But the feeling of improving oneself every day is indeed quite wonderful.

Back home, after a quick wash, Nango grabbed a random set of clothes and headed out, estimating the time, towards 'RikoRiko'.

The 'RicoRico' café is still the same as yesterday.

There were hardly any customers inside; it was deserted and no one was sitting down.

But aside from that...

"This is really..."

Nango glanced inside and realized that apart from the shop manager Mika, who seemed to be busy with something, all the members of 'Rikorik' were present.

Apart from Chizuka Nishiki, who looked relaxed, everyone else had a serious expression on their face.

"Ah, Toki-kun! You've come?"

Humming a little tune, Chizuka Nishiki, who was just like usual, skipped over to Nango as soon as she saw him: "Hehe, welcome to 'RikoRiko'."

"Yes, I'm here, Miss Nishiki."

"Seriously... I told you to just call me Chizuka—"

"Let's put that aside for now and get down to business."

Nango ignored the girl who was trying to get close to him.

"Huh...? Shi-kun is so cold."

Early in the morning, Chizuka Nishiki, full of energy, adorably pouted.

He decisively took something out of his pocket.

As he did this, he opened the online store interface.

[Do you wish to redeem the 'Universal Cure'?]

【Yes! 】

[Current Heartbeat Points Remaining: 330]

I confirmed that I could feel the texture of some kind of object in my hand.

Nanxiang simply took out the items.

Under the lights.

Everyone saw it clearly.

When he lay in Nanxiang, he held a small capsule filled with blue particles, which was sealed in a lead-plastic plate.

That's all...?

Everyone present except for Chizuka Nishiki was disappointed.

They had initially thought that Nanxiang would suddenly pull out some high-end, specialized liquid medicine.

Or he could use various medical school cardiology certificates to prove his identity...

In the end, he only took out a capsule that looked extremely suspicious?

Isn't this just blatant joking?

One capsule.

Could it cure Chizuki Nishiki's congenital heart disease of seventeen years?

Even the panaceas that appear in games or novels aren't this miraculous, are they?

"How many courses of treatment are needed for this medication?"

Mizuki Nakahara was, after all, the first person present to be persuaded by Toki Nanago.

Although somewhat disappointed, she still raised her hand hopefully and asked in a low voice.

Perhaps if she continues to take the medication for several courses, Chizuki Nishiki's congenital heart disease will improve?

But Nango's next move left her, who still held onto hope, feeling a deep sense of disappointment.

Nanxiang shook his head, then calmly spoke:

"There are only a few courses of treatment, just this one capsule."

Good heavens—

At this moment, everyone present could no longer hold back.

It's important to know that these capsule medications usually require at least one or two courses of treatment to be effective.

A capsule...?

Is this really being treated like a panacea from a game or novel, or a secret medicine that can restore you to full health with just one pill?

"Mr. Nango..."

Inoue Takina, who was closest to Nishiki Chizuka, took a deep breath and finally spoke: "I respect you and I like your songs, but..."

She didn't complain about Nanxiang at all, but her voice was already tinged with tears.

"Do you know how much determination Chizuka had to muster just to stand here? She placed absolute trust in you, and to think that a single capsule could cure the illness that has plagued Chizuka for seventeen years... that's just too... childish..."

She could no longer continue speaking when she got to this point.

That feeling of having high expectations, only to have them turn into disappointment in the end.

Only those who have experienced it firsthand can understand.

But at this moment, Nango Toki ignored Inoue Takina; he simply looked intently at Nishiki Chizuka and spoke:

"Miss Jinmu, would you like to eat? Or not?"

yes...

eat?

Still not eating?

An answer must be given.

And it was when Nango asked that question.

Chizuki Nishiki took action.

She walked up to Nanxiang and then spoke.

"Toki-kun, I already told you yesterday, I'm entrusting this to you."

Unlike the disappointed expressions on everyone else's faces.

When her pretty and warm face was half-upright as she looked at Nanxiang:

"I meant that."

She took the capsule from Nanxiang Shi's hand without hesitation.

He then acted decisively, without the slightest hesitation or delay, removing the capsule from the lead-plastic plate and swallowing it directly without drinking water.

Just like when I came here from Nanxiang, and despite so many skeptical looks, I believed that I would swallow this capsule.

Chizuka Nishiki also believed in the feeling in her mind.

Nanxiang Shi was definitely not the kind of person who would joke about her illness.

He gave his whole heart.
