My Romance Simulation with Them

She indulged her every whim and demand without limit, showing no tolerance what she truly needed.

She was already used to being tolerated and satisfied.

For Akane Shinjo, the Nanago she simulated in her first playthrough was the same as those 'friends' she had never opened her heart to.

But the real goal is to pry open her heart.

The first step is not to be like her large group of 'friends'—you have to be someone who can leave a special impression on her.

Even a bad impression is the same.

They blend into the crowd and ultimately repeat the same mistakes.

Thinking of this, Nango Toki spoke to Shinjo Akane beside him:

"New Article".

"Hey?"

"I heard you seem to have a lot of rare tokusatsu (special effects) Blu-ray discs at home?"

"How did you know?"

Akane Shinjo blinked strangely and looked at Nango.

"I want to see it, so bring me something you think is good from home tomorrow."

"Huh? Why?"

What's wrong with this person?!

Does wanting to see it mean I have to have her bring it over?

Why are you so self-righteous when you make demands of others?

Akane Shinjo opened her mouth, about to refuse.

but--

"Please, Shinjo."

While lying in bed, Nango suddenly spoke to Shinjo Akane with a very serious expression.

The incandescent light was very eye-catching, but what attracted Shinjo Akane's attention even more than the light was perhaps Nango Toki's clean and somewhat clear eyes.

He was looking at her very intently at that moment.

His handsome face and innocent expression made him seem like a monk unaware of the ways of the world. His pure and innocent eyes were enough to tempt women to sneak into the temple and taste the forbidden fruit.

“......” Shinjo Akane.

do not know why.

Akane Shinjo suddenly felt her heart pounding very hard.

She buried her head in the pillow and mumbled, "Whatever."

"By the way, I don't have any equipment to project the DVDs here either. If you have any extra DVDs, you can lend them to me."

Nanxiang spoke up as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"what?"

Is there a problem?

“......” Shinjo Akane.

Akane Shinjo simply turned her face away, only showing her back, clad in sportswear, to Toki Nanago.

After a long while, Nanxiang finally heard her mumble, "I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

very good--

Learning about Akane Shinjo's hobbies was also part of the plan.

Thinking of this, Nango continued contentedly, "By the way, Shinjo, I'm a little short on cash lately. I need the tram fare to pick up the DVDs and Blu-ray discs from your place..."

"I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you, okay?!"

Akane Shinjo was furious. Her cheeks puffed up with anger, and when she looked back at Nango with her red eyes, she thought, "Does a man like this really exist?"

They just seem to enjoy bullying her, don't they?

She was so angry that she tossed and turned on her futon on the floor.

As for Akane Shinjo's little mood, Toki Nanago, who had already lay down again and turned off the light, didn't care at all.

It's enough to build a good relationship with the virtual Shinjo Akane; there's no need for him to have a particularly close relationship with the real Shinjo Akane.

in contrast.

A girl with such a complicated personality.

Nanxiang wished that reality was as far away from her as possible.

This time, they seized the opportunity. They took advantage of her being in trouble during the rainy day to use this as leverage to coerce her into doing things for them.

There won't be such a good opportunity next time.

and--

"That conversation just now must have lowered Shinjo's opinion of me quite a bit. Although it might increase the difficulty of the simulation... leaving a bad impression is also part of the plan."

After all, Nango Toki had been extremely cold and disdainful towards Shinjo Akane throughout the journey.

Lowering favorability is inevitable.

Thinking of this, Nanxiang Shi directly reached out and opened the simulation system.

He already had an idea, and instead of thinking about these useless things, he should start the second simulation as soon as possible.

[Start simulation?]

The emulator's prompts are still as simple and easy to understand as ever.

Nango glanced at it only once before pulling the simulation aside without hesitation and pointing his finger directly at Shinjo Akane's name.

Then--

"Um???"

Nanxiang paused for a moment.

In his line of sight, the current state of Shinjo Akane, the subject of the simulation, had changed.

Contrary to his expectations, his favorability rating dropped further.

But -

[Current simulation subject: Akane Shinjo. Status: Slightly attracted, slightly respectful, slightly fearful]

"what?"

Slightly tempted?

Nango Toki couldn't help but open his mouth, then looked at Shinjo Akane, who was sleeping on the ground with her back turned.

no--

Ms. Shinjo? What are you doing?

Nango reflected on his attitude towards Shinjo Akane along the way.

The tone was cold, disdainful, extremely disdainful, and even somewhat bullying and commanding.

To be honest.

The southern part of the text is derived from all the adjectives mentioned above.

There was absolutely nothing about Shinjo Akane that made her fall for him.

Nango's gaze towards Shinjo Akane became somewhat strange.

Shinjo, you're not a masochist, are you?

And the kind that looks particularly strong on the outside but is actually very weak on the inside?

Forget it.

Nanxiang shook his head.

Thinking about these things is pointless.

If the favorability rating is a little higher, then so be it.

It is also more conducive to simulation.

Look at the "Start simulation?" option in front of you.

Nanxiang chose 'yes' without hesitation.

[Current simulation subject: Akane Shinjo.]

Current Heart Points: 600

Nango received a lot of points from Miss Shinjo, and after deducting the income portion, he had exactly 600 points left.

That means there are two more chances to guarantee a minimum return.

Nanxiang shifted his gaze away from the heart points and completely immersed himself in the simulation.

[Simulation begins.]

Sudden torrential rains and a typhoon landfall will flood the world, and also trap her in your room.

Your coldness angered her, your indifference made her doubt her own charm, and your commanding tone left her bewildered. She, with her perfectly disguised facade, knew nothing of you, while you, having investigated her, knew everything about her.

But your innate confidence makes you completely indifferent to these things, because you know that to leave an impression on a girl accustomed to flattery, you must resort to more radical methods.

[And you are confident that, with your handsome appearance and superb communication skills and emotional intelligence, you can definitely break down the girl's tightly closed heart, completely grasp her heart, and hold it in your hands.]

Therefore, you decide to first learn about her interests and hobbies.

[In the low-rent apartment, you seized the opportunity when she was down on her luck and borrowed her favorite tokusatsu (special effects) Blu-ray disc.]

Although she had some reservations about this, she ultimately couldn't refuse your request.

Similarly, during this time, you noticed that despite her seemingly strong exterior, she didn't seem to mind your bullying; in fact, she was even slightly attracted to it.
