My Romance Simulation with Them

At least Nango felt that this was true for Nishiki Chizuka.

Happiness is not something she can achieve alone; she must also ensure that her friend and family member, Inoue Takina, achieves happiness as well.

Choosing one side is tantamount to abandoning the other.

In this world, Chizuka Nishiki's relationship with Takina Inoue is even closer than that of sisters.

If one side is abandoned, the other side's thoughts will likely be obstructed.

When they get married, have children, and grow old, and look back on their choices, they will probably only feel regret and remorse.

Nanxiang sighed softly and looked at the third option.

So, is there no problem with the third option?

The burden of others' futures is too heavy; you, with your mortal body, simply cannot bear the weight of life, and you cannot meet their expectations and trust.

Nango also shook his head at this.

This option also has problems.

That's too pessimistic. Because the burden of the two girls' future is too heavy, they can't meet their expectations and trust and choose to give up.

In other words, in Nanxiang this time, he was faced with a situation where all three options were problematic.

And what needs to be done in Nanxiang.

It means choosing the option with the smaller problem from these three options.

Nanxiang kept thinking and considering, but he couldn't come to a conclusion for a long time.

In his view, the three options were indeed neck and neck.

How can we choose the right one to ultimately lead to a happy ending?

I pondered this while in the southern countryside.

Then--

He chose to abandon this meaningless behavior.

The future itself is full of variables, and the future derived from the choices we make is also unpredictable.

Since that's the case, why not just follow your heart and make your choice?

Thinking of this, Nanxiang raised his hand and selected the three options.

The burden of others' futures is too heavy; you, with your mortal body, simply cannot bear the weight of life, and you cannot meet their expectations and trust.

As mentioned before, taking no action and simply giving up is too negative.

However, in reality, if the options were actually given to Nanxiang, he would most likely still choose option three.

As the options state.

Carrying the future of others is a very heavy burden.

Even in the south, it would be impossible to bear the weight of life.

Furthermore, rashly choosing option one or option two would only be irresponsible towards both Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue.

"Their lives and their future should be planned by themselves."

Nanxiang murmured to himself calmly.

Yes.

He is not a god; he cannot make choices for others, nor can he always make the right choices.

Moreover, is what he considers correct necessarily correct to Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue?

People are different from one another.

After all... the road ahead is really long.

The road ahead is long, so long that they must walk it themselves.

They may feel lost, confused, or even struggle along the way, but that's all part of their lives.

Considering this, you, who are usually confident, did not rush to offer advice or make a choice this time.

Because their lives belong to them, and you have neither the right nor the desire to interfere.

They were somewhat disappointed by your words.

But at the same time, you also told them that if they felt sad or lost, they could rely on you without hesitation.

While you can't help them make choices, you can accompany them along this path.

After receiving this answer, although they were still somewhat uncertain about the future, they were no longer as anxious as before.

[At the same time, considering it's getting late, they're suggesting you stay the night.]

While you were somewhat tempted by their offer to stay, it still felt a little inappropriate for a man to remain in the girls' dormitory.

You get up to leave, but Nishiki Chizuka has already packed her things, so you can sleep in her bed without worry. She's with Inoue Takina today.

[Unable to refuse their kind invitation, and given their unusual enthusiasm, coupled with your previous refusal to discuss a future with them, you already felt guilty and, unusually, softened your heart.]

So, after a bit of coaxing and a quick shower, you ended up sleeping in Chizuka Nishiki's bed.

[Before falling asleep, Chizuka Nishiki assures you that she would never sneak off for a night raid behind Takina Inoue's back.]

Her attitude was very serious, and her words were very sincere. With the naturally earnest Inoue Takina watching over you, you believed her, closed your eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps it was the pleasant fragrance in the room, or perhaps it was the recent busy work schedule, but you slept very soundly.

The next day, you woke up feeling refreshed, following your usual routine, but you immediately noticed something was wrong.

The small bed, which should have been spacious enough for one person, now felt rather cramped.

You pulled back the covers and discovered Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue, dressed in pink and blue pajamas and breathing softly.

[It must be said that Chizuka Nishiki was not lying; she did not secretly run away and launch a night raid without Inoue Takina's knowledge.]

With her wildly imaginative mind and quirky personality, she simply brought Inoue Takina to sleep next to you.

In simulated memories...scenery floats by...

Nango, who had just opened his eyes but hadn't gotten up yet, silently looked at the blonde and black-haired girls lying on either side of him.

He turned his head and looked at the blonde girl on the other side.

At this moment, she was resting her head on his chest, her golden hair falling loose, accompanied by silly giggles.

Besides these, what Nango found even more unacceptable was...

Chizuka Nishiki is nothing like the serene and still girl she is depicted in some anime.

Not only does she snore loudly, but her cherry-pink lips also open and make "ha-ha-ha" sounds, and she even drooled a large puddle on his chest!

No wonder Nango Toki dreamt that his rice paddies in Akita Prefecture were flooded.

So that's the reason.

On the other hand, look at Inoue Takina. When she sleeps, her eyes are closed, and apart from tightly hugging her hands and bringing them to her chest, there really is nothing wrong with her.

She was as serene as a kitten.

Thinking of this, Nanxiang Shi looked disgusted.

Born in China, he has none of the affectation or pretentiousness of Japanese youths, nor their stuttering, 'gentle' style.

He was decisive; he raised his foot and kicked Nishiki Chizuki off the bed.

thump!

A loud bang.

"Huh?! What's going on? What happened?"

Chizuka Nishiki, who was kicked off the bed, was clearly still half asleep.

Under Nanxiang's watchful gaze, she groggily got up from the ground, trying hard to open her eyes, but ultimately could only half-open them.

Even Nanxiang had to admire her resilience due to her naturally cheerful personality.

If an ordinary person were kicked out of bed, they would probably wake up immediately, no matter how sleepy they were, but Chizuka Nishiki was completely different.

She didn't look like she was fully awake.

"It's nothing, just an earthquake."

Nanxiang, without batting an eye, gave the other party a nonchalant reply.

Chizuka Nishiki didn't answer, but nodded her head little by little for about a minute, like fishing, before finally replying as if she had reconnected after a disconnection:

"Oh, what? Just an earthquake? It's nothing... I'm going to sleep a little longer."

She used both her hands and feet to climb back onto the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and lay down on Nanxiang's chest again.

Even the spot where they were drooling hadn't changed.

"......" Nanxiang time.

Nanxiang fell silent.

Similarly, looking at Inoue Takina beside him who hadn't woken up from the commotion, he slightly twitched his right arm.

But the next second, Inoue Takina, who was still fast asleep, unconsciously smacked her lips and hugged his hand tightly again, like a kitten guarding its food.

"......" Nanxiang time.

Forget it, forget it.

Nango used his only free left hand to grab a tissue from the bedside table and wipe away the drool that Ms. Nishiki had drooled, then simply closed his eyes.

He can't be controlled by anyone, and no one can wake him up, so he might as well take a nap.

Amidst the bustling dawn.

The three embraced.

They were holding each other very tightly.

You slept very comfortably during this second nap. Since it's the transition from spring to summer and the temperature is just right, you didn't wake up until around noon.

[Upon waking from her sleep, Inoue Takina, noticing her improper posture, bowed repeatedly to you, apologizing more than ten times.]
