My Romance Simulation with Them

Because he had to take care of Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue after their marriage.

During that period, he accumulated a large number of manuscripts, including novels, short stories, and various essays.

Although those manuscripts were all works that were not published by a publishing house.

But considering his top-tier LV4 skill level in the simulation during his youth...

Any one of these casually written practice manuscripts would be enough to put the so-called literary geniuses of the time to shame.

"Hmm... this one will do."

After searching his memory for a long time, Nanxiang finally locked onto a manuscript that he was very satisfied with.

The short story "Her Hidden in a Sea of ​​Azaleas".

The story tells of how the male protagonist met the female protagonist, Komako, one day in a beautiful sea of ​​azaleas in the countryside.

After a fulfilling and joyful holiday with his partner, the male protagonist returns to the big city.

Feeling both busy and lonely in the city, he felt like an isolated island, constantly thinking of that woman who was as passionate and beautiful as an azalea.

But the naturally cold-hearted male protagonist doesn't understand what the feelings hidden in his heart really are.

Until one day he met an old man, and from the old man's words, "This is love, you have clearly fallen deeply in love with that girl," he finally understood his own feelings.

So, like a madman, he boarded a train and headed to the sea of ​​azaleas where they had first met.

But it was all too late.

The azaleas still bloom in abundance, quietly unfolding, but Komako's figure has long since disappeared.

In the sunset, he seemed to be hallucinating.

Just as described in the original text.

"Once he had gained his footing, he looked up and saw the setting sun seem to pour down on his bewildered heart with a whoosh."

"Lost! Gone! Gone forever!"

"What brings you here?" "Just here to see you."

The text is filled with a sense of beauty and romance.

A simple yet sincere storyline.

It is enough to move people and leave them with lasting memories.

Nanxiang closed his eyes and quietly pondered the details.

He then nodded: "Very good."

Yes.

not bad.

The novel "Her Hidden in a Sea of ​​Azaleas" contains approximately 15,000 to 17,000 words.

The word count is just right.

Unlike novellas, which often occupy a small paperback volume, it is not like a novella.

It's not like a long novel that can easily run into hundreds of thousands of words.

If converted to A4 size paper, this article, "Her Hidden in a Sea of ​​Azaleas," would take up about four to five pages.

This perfectly aligns with the layout requirements of the "Imperial Tea" school magazine—after all, it's impossible for each person's work to take up more than ten pages of "Imperial Tea."

"Let's begin."

Once you've decided on the theme and the plot, all you need to do next is start writing.

Nanxiang picked up the pencil next to him and began to write down word by word.

After about an hour and a half—

Your writing (romantic) skill has slightly improved; current level: LV4.

"Phew... that's about it for today."

Looking at the novel, which was basically finished with three or four thousand words, Nanxiang Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

In an hour, and without a printer, writing three or four thousand words by hand was the limit in Nanxiang.

And during this time, you also have to deal with miscellaneous things like checking for typos...

It will certainly take some time to get to Nanxiang.

"I'll write the rest tomorrow."

I glanced at the time and realized it was already around eleven o'clock.

Nanxiang put down his pen without hesitation.

At the current pace, if I can find the time tomorrow, I should be able to finish writing this novel.

As for now—

"go to bed!"

There's no need to rush.

Two full weeks of preparation time was enough for Nanxiang to use.

Thinking this, Nanxiang, lying on the bed, fell into a deep sleep.

......

the next day.

Amidst the somewhat surprised gazes of all his classmates, for some reason, Nanxiang Shi brought his own writing paper to school.

I have no idea what the Great Demon King of Nango is planning to do.

He doesn't just write during breaks between classes.

Even for some less important classes, he would carry these grid paper sheets, which were only used for writing, with him and bury himself in writing.

what happened?

Has the Great Demon King of Nanxiang changed his ways? Is he now taking the path of a literary youth?

No one quite understood.

But they also dared not go forward to ask.

All I could do was watch as Nanxiang came with blank manuscript paper and left with manuscript paper filled with writing when school ended in the afternoon.

"It's almost done."

Looking at the thick stack of manuscript paper in his arms, enough for more than ten sheets, Nanxiang Shi let out a breath.

Not having a computer is such a hassle.

Handwriting is not only slow, but also a waste of money and time.

However, after a busy day, his achievements are certainly not to be overlooked.

"Her Hidden in a Sea of ​​Azaleas" is basically finished, except for the last scene—the scene where the male protagonist hallucinates because he did not see Miss Komako.

It's about 1,000 to 2,000 words, which translates to about one and a half pages of manuscript paper.

It won't take long at all.

We follow the usual practice of providing extra meals for the staff of the 'Starry Night' performance hall every day.

Nanxiang walked into the 'Starry Night' performance hall on his own, and then glanced around.

I wonder what Ijichi Hoshika and the others went to do.

The entire 'Starry Night' performance hall was empty; there wasn't a single person in it.

"Never mind. Let's go buy some groceries instead."

With a simple reach into the refrigerator and a quick glance, Nanxiang Shi concluded that he needed to buy groceries.

The amount of food consumed lately has been far too great.

Ijichi Seika, PA-san, Ijichi Nijika, Kita Ikuyo, Goto Ichiri, and Yamada Ryo all have an ever-increasing appetite.

Food that could have lasted three days can now only last one day.

These women are really not afraid of gaining weight.

I felt a bit sentimental when I was in Nanxiang.

But he still casually placed the manuscript of "Her Hidden in the Sea of ​​Azaleas" next to the bar, and then walked out of the "Starry Night" performance hall without hesitation.

As for reimbursement of food expenses.

Let's wait until Ichiji Hoshika returns before we get reimbursed.

Thinking this, Nango walked toward the supermarket in Shimokitazawa.

And exactly a few minutes after he left.

The once quiet 'Starry Night' performance hall was suddenly filled with a noisy quartet—Iji Tomoka, Hiroi Kikuri, Ms. PA, and Goto Ichiri.

"Huh—? You're going to perform at the school festival?! Are you lonely? Have you already decided?!"

The woman with purplish-red hair who spoke with a lisp and unclear speech was named Hiroi Kikuri.

She is not only Ijichi Seika's junior from university, but also, like Yamada Ryo, a bassist active in a well-known band in Shinjuku.

For Goto Ichiri, getting to know the other person was a complete accident.

She was reeking of alcohol, her arm around Goto Ichiri's shoulder, chugging down bottles of liquor while asking with a chuckle:

"I never expected that even Little Loneliness would muster up the courage! That's great! Youth! Come on! Senior Ijichi! Come have a drink with me to celebrate! YO!"

"Who wants to drink with you, you drunkard!"

He watched as Hiroi Kikuri rushed towards him.

Ijichi Seika kicked her away with a look of disgust, then turned to look at Goto Ichiri, somewhat surprised:

"However, it's quite rare for Little Lonely to volunteer to perform at the cultural festival. Is there some special reason?"

Yes.
