My Romance Simulation with Them

Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he took out his phone again and dialed his home number.

"Hey?"

"Ah...is that Shiho-neechan?"

"Yes, it's me, Shi."

Nango stretched out her body, listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, and replied with a gentle smile, "It's nothing, I'm doing fine in Tokyo."

"Cold? Oh, there's nothing to be cold about. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

"Is Second Sister Bao here too? Okay, you can rest assured, she hasn't been smoking or going astray."

"It's getting warmer these days as we enter autumn, and it should be about the same in Akita. You should also take precautions against the heat."

"No need to send money, there's no need for that. It's enough. Don't worry."

Nanxiang took a sip of water, patiently listened to what the two older women on the other end of the phone had to say, and then continued to respond.

Unlike many novel protagonists who transmigrate into anime or the world of anime and live a life of ease, he is different.

Nanxiang's family's financial situation had never been very good.

To support the original owner's education, the two older sisters dropped out of middle school early and worked outside to earn money.

He voluntarily gave up his studies and dropped out of school to work.

It sounds like it's easy.

However, given the prevailing patriarchal ideology in Japan, no one can imagine how much effort the two older sisters put in to provide the money to support their younger brother's education.

This was especially true of my parents when I was in the south.

They work in the fields during the day and at night they work in nearby convenience stores or factories.

These were all things that Nanxiang knew clearly at the time.

This is also why Ryoko Okano spoke about 'tuition and fees waiver' and 'scholarship'.

The main reason why Nango Toki, who is usually decisive, hesitated for the first time.

It's not just because of greed—maybe that's partly true.

But more importantly—

"My first scholarship payment should be deposited into our bank account in three days," Nanxiang Shi said into the phone.

"Me? I'm doing fine lately, everything's fine."

Nango opened the window, glanced at the bustling Tokyo night view outside, then looked at the extremely shabby furnishings of his rented room, and continued replying:

"I'm going to keep the scholarship money for myself? What would I do with so much money?"

"Oh dear—I already said that prices in Tokyo aren't much different from those in Akita."

"Big sister, second sister, you two should stop worrying about me."

"Pick clothes for me? No way, I haven't even worn the clothes you bought last time, they're too childish. My school uniform is enough for me."

"What? You want to come see me? The travel expenses alone are going to be exorbitant!"

After another round of pleasantries, Nanxiang hung up the phone again, stretched, and refreshed himself.

it is good!

We've finished gossiping about everything at home!

So, the next thing to do is indeed...

Nanxiang moved the book in front of him aside and thoughtfully unfolded a piece of graph paper.

"Let's think about how to write that article for the school magazine, 'Imperial Tea'."

Yes.

Since the decision has already been made...

Of course, we need to do it perfectly.

Nanxiang was also quite curious about what kind of articles he could write with his LV4 writing talent.

Chapter 112. Let's indulge in eternal romantic literature! (4500 words!)

How to maximize the effectiveness of the Special Writing (Romantic) LV4 and the "Pure and Simple Romantic Writing Techniques in My Later Years in Nango".

Nanxiang tried them out over the past few days.

He then came to a conclusion.

The more melancholic, beautiful, and romantic your writing is, the more it demonstrates the (romantic) aspect of writing.

Conversely, the more nonsensical, strange, outrageous, or unbelievable your writing is, the less effective this skill will be.

For example, the difference between saying "The world is so big, I want to go see it" and saying "What color are your underwear today? I really want to see." is quite obvious.

The latter content naturally cannot contain even the slightest bit of 'romance'.

Naturally, the skill of writing (romanticism) and the pure and simple romantic writing techniques of Nango in his later years could not be fully utilized.

But the most outrageous and bizarre thing is...

Even though Nango Toki wrote something like, "What color are your underwear today? I really want to see," which is devoid of any romantic sentiment and, strictly speaking, could be considered sexual harassment, he could still sense a touch of romance in it.

It's a very strange feeling.

There's a romantic feeling to it: 'I know I'll get beaten up for saying this, but I'll ask anyway, and I'm ready to die for it.'

of course.

If it's about writing mathematical formulas, or data from chemistry and physics.

Those are just cold, hard data.

After all, no one is likely to suddenly burst into tears when looking at a calculation problem like 1+1=2.

Nanxiang shook his head when he thought of this, putting aside the jumbled thoughts in his head and looking back at the manuscript in front of him.

Having LV4 writing skills that are almost unparalleled, he can be said to have an absolute crushing advantage over all the students at Yucha High School no matter what he writes.

But since I've already agreed to Ryoko Okano's request...

Nanxiang naturally didn't intend to fool the other party.

"Let me think about it..."

Looking at the blank manuscript paper, Nango Toki began to recall the memories from the previous timeline, which he had simulated with Nishiki Chizuka and Inoue Takina.

I remember it very clearly when I was in Nanxiang.

According to the system's assessment, his writing level during his youth in the simulation, after winning the Naoki Prize, Japan's top literary award, should be around LV4.

It wasn't until her later years, after the deaths of Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue, that she was able to continue her life.

In the simulation, his writing skills reached LV5 only after a long period of accumulation and refinement, and after he grasped the value of life and death.

Logically speaking, if we want to choose the best, then choosing the LV5 level works is the safest bet.

but--

"It really didn't work."

Nanxiang shook his head and sighed.

The writing of LV5 is so skillful, revealing a detached and serene quality, as well as an ultimate aesthetic.

Life and death.

The continuation of life and love.

During that period, the plot development of all his works mostly revolved around these particularly philosophical topics.

The skillful and masterful word choice and sentence structure, the effortlessly moving words, could not possibly be something a high school student could write.

Obviously, this approach is completely inapplicable to a youthful and vibrant literary journal like "Yu Cha" (Imperial Tea).

Let's think about it from a different perspective.

"If my works in my later years are not good, then what about my works in my youth?"

He muttered to himself while in the southern countryside.

In my youth, I had just won the Akutagawa Prize, Japan's top youth award, and I was full of vigor and ambition.

He then went on to win the Naoki Prize, Japan's top literary award, with his simple and understated writing, officially becoming the leading contemporary young writer.

What about my work back then?

Nanxiang pondered for a moment.

The conclusion was then drawn.

"feasible."

Yes.

Totally doable.

I'm simulating my younger self during my youth and middle age, with a writing level of around LV4.

This is similar to his current level.

Moreover, at that time, Nango Toki's works did not discuss issues such as life and death, or love.

He mainly writes lonely literary works about 'unrequited love' and 'loving each other but being unable to be together'.

This kind of literary work is very suitable for students, young people and others to read.

—In fact, in the simulation, Nango's works from his youth were more popular among young people than his works from his later years.

After all, young people at this time liked to read these kinds of 'lonely' literary works.

"Very good, now that we've decided on works from your youth... the next question is which one to choose..."

In reality, Nanxiang tapped on the table and muttered to himself.

The simulated version of myself in my youth actually produced quite a few works.
