My Romance Simulation with Them

Yes.

Having become numb to emotions, she finally understood what the warmth that had been surging in her heart all along truly felt like.

This is love.

It is irreplaceable, yet the most precious thing.

She needs to find this thing again!

Therefore, she boarded that train again to the place where the azaleas were in full bloom.

but--

It was all too late.

A brief encounter is meaningless.

The sea of ​​azaleas still exists and is still in full bloom.

But the girl she cared about most had already disappeared.

She was the only one left in the empty wilderness.

Gazing at the endless sunset and sea of ​​flowers.

Only her—

Lost! Gone! Gone forever!

Upon reading this, an overwhelming sense of sorrow welled up in Kikuri Hiroi's heart.

The delicate and simple words had completely captivated her.

Just as she was about to continue flipping through the pages...

But then I discovered that the novel abruptly ended there.

Not only did he write such heartbreaking scenes in his novels.

It even has a missing section!

There is no ending!

This was probably the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The author's incomplete writing caused an endless clash between the boundless grievances and the beautiful yet melancholic feelings within.

At this moment, Kikuri Hiroi finally couldn't hold back anymore, her eyes losing their sparkle, and she burst into tears:

"Komako! My Komako!"

She was twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, and normally she could be considered a mature adult, but she burst into tears.

Komako disappeared...

The protagonist's deep-seated sense of loneliness.

She could relate to all of this after reading the entire novel.

No.

It's not just about making her empathize.

It also gave her a strong sense of crisis, fearing that she was complacent with the status quo.

If I keep dawdling like this...

He continued to spend his days drinking.

Will she, like the male protagonist, lose the person she loves most in the future?

No... the question before that.

Will I be able to find someone to date?

She longs to be like the characters in the story.

Like the male protagonist, you meet someone, get to know someone, become close to someone, and then confess your feelings to them.

Instead of spending their lives in regret.

Yes!

I can't go on like this any longer!

I can't keep being a coward like this!

I'm not a coward!

I need to find someone! To confess my feelings to them!

Thinking of this, Hiroi Kikuri put the manuscript down again and looked around with teary eyes.

Just then, Ijichi Seika couldn't help but lean closer, cautiously opening her mouth to tentatively speak:

"...Hello? Hiroi?"

While shouting, Ichi Seika continued to observe Hiroi Kikuri in front of her.

What's wrong with this person?

Is he drunk and acting crazy?

Has he finally drunk himself to the point of losing his mind?

Why are you suddenly calling someone's name?

She was very concerned about Hiroi Kikuri's mental state.

What Ichi Hoshika didn't expect was that it was precisely her opening of her mouth and the sound she made that attracted the other party's attention.

Hiroi Kikuri, who had already put the manuscript back on the bar, suddenly hugged her while tears streamed down her face.

At the same time, a sound was also emitted.

"Ijichi-senpai! Please! Go out with me! I... I can play bass to support you!"

"What?! You idiot! Let go of me! It's filthy!"

Ijichi Hoshika was stunned by the other person's sudden pounce, but then she felt the other person's warm tears and sticky snot getting on her.

Her innate love of cleanliness caused her to momentarily lose her composure: "Stay away from me! Hiroi!"

"Why?! Why did you reject me? I like Ichichi-senpai so much!"

"No way! A life of loneliness!"

Her face was covered in tears and snot—even though Hiroi Kikuri was considered a rare beauty, her current filthy state would make anyone disgusted.

This naturally includes Ijichi Hoshika, who is constantly struggling.

"Let go of my hand! It's dirty!"

Ijichi Seika struggled and made sounds.

That idiot! He's incredibly strong!

She couldn't help but exclaim:

"And I'm a woman! You idiot!"

Yes.

She is a woman.

This idiot in front of me has gone crazy again, actually hugging her and saying he wants to date her.

"It's okay! Ijichi-senpai! I don't mind!"

Hiroi Kikuri blew her nose with a "humph," but she still wouldn't let go.

"I! Care!"

Ijichi Hoshika's pretty and mature face turned red; she was so angry at Hiroi Kikuri that she almost vomited blood.

During her school years, she had many male admirers due to her outstanding looks.

But at that time, she had to take care of Ichi Nijika.

Therefore, he rejected all of these confessions of love.

But that doesn't mean she likes lesbians!

It's just that she has to take care of Ichiji Nijika, so she simply doesn't have the time or energy to find a good boyfriend.

"My senior is really shy—but that's okay, we can actually start cultivating our relationship right now."

"What do you mean by 'start training you now'?! I'm not interested in you!"

Ijichi Hoshika cursed, then turned her head and decisively called for help:

"PA! Come quick! Help! Pull this idiot away!"

Yes.

Since you can't pull them apart yourself or persuade them, you might as well just ask someone for help.

This is also faster.

She turned around and looked at Ms. PA behind the bar.

Then...

Then she noticed that Ms. PA, who had been curiously flipping through Nango Toki's manuscript, was starting to look strange.

From the initial calm and elegance, she gradually fell silent as she turned the pages of the manuscript.

Why does this development seem strangely familiar to Ijichi Hoshika?

"Hey! PA!"

She finally managed to break free from Hiroi Kikuri's embrace, who was shouting "Go out with me!", and came to PA's side.

Seeing Ms. PA also shedding tears, her face filled with overwhelming emotion, as if she had been elevated to a higher level, she couldn't help but glance at the novel manuscript lying next to her.

"Her Hidden in a Sea of ​​Azaleas"

The title was written in very neat font.
