My Romance Simulation with Them

"Isn't that Yamada Ryo?"

The memories from the first timeline were thoroughly retrieved.

Looking at the blue-haired college girl with short hair who had crossed her arms, yawned, and had a blank expression at the class reunion in the first playthrough, saying, "I'll date you if you master the bass in a year," Nango rubbed his forehead.

It turns out that it wasn't just Yamada Ryo who confessed his feelings to him in the second playthrough.

Even in her first playthrough, she had fallen in love with herself.

No wonder she was so obsessed with herself in the second playthrough.

After all, the reason she liked him in the first playthrough must be because there was something about him that attracted her.

I'm just too good.

I sighed when I was in the south.

As for the fact that he actually practiced bass for a year in the first playthrough before he could successfully pursue Yamada Ryo.

Nanxiang simply shook his head.

A year?

Nango Toki wasn't actually very satisfied with his learning progress in the first playthrough.

However, I was only slightly dissatisfied.

After all, compared to the first and second playthroughs that have already passed.

He was waiting to see how things would develop in the next three playthroughs.

I shifted my attention away from a certain aloof female passerby with short blue hair.

Nanxiang was not interested in her.

[Nijika Ichi and Ikuyo Kita are shocked by your existence. They've only heard Goto Ichiri mention you, but they've never heard your name before, so they've always thought you were just a figment of Goto Ichiri's imagination.]

Compared to the surprise of Ichichi Nijika and Kita Ikuyo, Yamada Ryo seemed completely unconcerned about your arrival.

now it's right.

Nango, who was worried that Yamada Ryo, a criminal with a 'previous record' of confessing his love and even getting married in the previous two playthroughs, might cause some trouble, felt relieved.

Then--

But Yamada Ryo actually seems quite interested in you.

Ms. Yamada Ryo, what are you doing?

I was only introduced to you by Ichiri Goto, and yet I'm already able to pique your interest?

Nango Toki was indeed somewhat unable to understand what Yamada Ryo, who was taciturn and seemed expressionless, was thinking.

[Yamada Ryo's high school ambition is to get into the University of Tokyo, so she's quite interested in you, who achieved the highest score in the national deviation test. For her, getting a perfect score in a study session isn't difficult, but it requires her to dedicate all her energy to studying, and the cost is that she forgets all about bass playing techniques during that time. She's very interested in someone like you who can balance academics and instrument learning.]

It turned out to be the case.

Nanxiang could accept this reason.

But Yamada Ryo's goal is to get into the University of Tokyo?

Nango recalls the events of the first timeline.

In the first playthrough, I remember that Yamada Ryo, who was my wife, did not get into Tokyo University.

The reason she appeared at the reunion dinner of the University of Tokyo's medical school was simply because her family runs a large hospital in Tokyo and has extensive connections. To expand her network, a classmate invited her to the reunion.

She was born to be a rich girl and spent money extravagantly. After marriage, he kept a close eye on her, which is why she became much more restrained.

Even during that period, this aloof guy seemed to have no qualms about spending money, buying up large sums of high-end musical instruments.

Although—she's really great because she's willing to try all sorts of positions at night.

In conclusion, it seems that Yamada Ryo still hasn't given up on her desire to get into Tokyo University in her third playthrough.

This woman is quite ambitious.

Nanxiang nodded silently.

He doesn't dislike ambitious people; as long as they don't bother him, he'll actually offer Yamada Ryo some help within his power.

Furthermore, it took him a full year to pursue the other person in his first playthrough, so in this playthrough, Nango felt that he wouldn't be able to make contact with the other person so easily.

You briefly introduced yourself, and your humorous and cheerful manner quickly helped you blend into the atmosphere of the closing band.

[You continue to ask Goto Ichiri for advice on guitar, and your talent for learning is gradually becoming apparent. Meanwhile, Yamada Ryo will occasionally ask you for help with schoolwork after practice.]

[Yamada Ryo has developed a slight liking for you.]

Your relationship with Yamada Ryo has deepened.

Seriously, Ms. Yamada, what are you doing?

Chapter Seventeen. Ladies, what are you doing?

Ryo Yamada, what are you doing?

Nanxiang really wanted to ask this question.

In his first playthrough, he struggled to learn bass so he could barely marry Yamada Ryo, a beautiful androgynous young lady who was like a flower on a high mountain, and live a smooth and ideal life living off her.

Why is Yamada Ryo the one who's actively pursuing you in this first playthrough?

Nanxiang frowned and tapped the table. After thinking for a moment, he roughly had an answer in his mind.

The process of simulating the third playthrough so far has been very smooth.

Goto Ichiri, who already had a good impression of him, must have introduced him to the band members who had ended their careers more than once in order to invite Nango Toki to the Starry Sky.

Therefore, the people who left the band already had a good impression of him.

A good first impression leads to a relatively high initial level of favorability.

In the first timeline, I was fighting my way up from scratch.

At that time, Yamada Ryo had already been admitted to a university. Without the concern of Tokyo University, which she had always wanted to attend, she could only focus on honing her bass skills, so naturally she had no reason to get close to him.

There's a difference between needing his help in the third playthrough and him actively pursuing you in the first playthrough.

Ultimately—

"I guess I'm just too good."

Nanxiang frowned, somewhat troubled by the situation, after all, his own excellence was something he couldn't suppress.

Good wine needs no bush, and gold shines wherever it is; this is probably why.

There's currently no way to improve Yamada Ryo's favorability, so Nango Toki can only put aside his thoughts and continue immersing himself in the simulation.

While occasionally guiding Yamada Ryo's studies, you didn't neglect your own guitar practice. With the aid of a dating simulator and your extraordinary learning ability, you quickly demonstrated amazing talent in guitar, surpassing Kita Ikuyo in skill.

[Your efforts have been noticed by Ichiji Nijika all along, and she has invited you to join the band 'End'.]

What is your attitude towards Ijichi Nijika's invitation?

[One way is to politely decline.]

[Second, if you agree to join, things might get better for the band.]

[Thirdly, I prefer Miss Ijichi, your big-breasted blonde sister; I want to be a member of the stars.]

[IV. Personal simulation.]

When these three options appeared, I had already seen one of them, "Don't be human," when I was in Nanxiang.

Judging from the memories obtained from the simulator during Nango, Ijichi Nijika's older sister, Ijichi Hoshika, is already almost 30 years old.

Although Ijichi Hoshika is very wealthy, able to afford the Starlight Indoor Performance Hall in Tokyo, and being a kept woman like her—a busty, blonde, rich older sister—is quite appealing. But Hoshika is almost thirty, while I'm only a high school sophomore, and not even a few months away from adulthood.

This is already illegal—Nango-go refers to Ichiji Hoshika.

The result should then be determined by the first option and the second option.

Nanxiang looked at the first and second options and pondered for a long time.

In the end, he chose one.

The reason is actually very simple.

The band 'End' has always followed the path of a traditional rock band.

Lead guitar and secondary guitar, drummer and bassist.

If there's anything missing, it's a skilled keyboardist to support them from behind, not a guitar.

Including him in the list would only make the band 'The End' seem superfluous.

And most importantly...

I learned guitar purely as a hobby.

The girls, however, were working hard with the attitude of realizing their dreams.

Agreeing to their request to join would certainly make it easier to gain their favor, but it would be irresponsible towards their band.

Even in a simulation, Nango Toki doesn't want to be someone who hinders others' dreams.

This option should be fine.

You politely declined Ichiji Nijika's offer. You were only learning guitar out of interest and had no intention of joining the End Band, because you knew that End Band was already following a traditional band style, and adding another guitarist would be detrimental to the band as a whole.

Your rejection disappointed Ichichi Nijika, but she was deeply moved by your appreciation for their dreams.

[Ichi Nijika is paying more attention to you now.]

[Ichi Nijika has a slight crush on you; there are some things she'll only say to you.]

Ms. Ijichi, what are you doing?

The sudden surge in affection caught Nanxiang off guard.

Can you be a little colder to me? Don't be so nice to me in the simulation, really.

Since it's not his real self anyway, Nanxiang Shi couldn't be more eager to see more of his simulated self having fun.

Although you declined Ichiji Nijika's invitation, the Starry Night Performance Hall is always busy at times. After all, Goto Ichiri and the others still need to practice their performance pieces, and when they are troubled, you always step in to help resolve everything.
