My Romance Simulation with Them

Page 183

Weak and dark monsters and freaks, as well as outwardly glamorous heroes representing justice, are born from various causes.

Just like the two sides of light and shadow.

She saw her own reflection in the weak monsters and strange people.

There were no heroes of justice in her life, and no one was ever willing to come to her rescue.

She once asked Aunt Tang Ze.

Why can't monsters ever beat heroes of justice? Is it just because they're weak? So they're destined to be bullied by heroes of justice?

Back then, Aunt Tang Ze would always say in an exceptionally gentle tone, "Because the script for the monster to win never existed in the first place."

"Why wouldn't it exist?"

"Hmm... how should I put it? You see, everyone prefers heroes who uphold justice, right?"

This sentence stuck with Shinjo Akane.

It turns out that compared to the dark monsters...

People prefer characters who appear glamorous and righteous.

to this end.

She disguised herself as having a sunny and outgoing personality.

This applies to everyone, regardless of who they are dealing with.

"Oh, I see."

Looking at Shinjo Akane, whose eyes were red but who hadn't cried at all, Nango Toki didn't offer any comfort, but simply reached out and hugged her.

Then, in an extremely apologetic voice, he spoke:

"I'm sorry, Shinjo."

"And... thank you for telling me all this, Shinjo."

You muttered to yourself, but it was unclear who you were apologizing to.

I don't know who to thank.

All you know is that on that day, Shinjo Akane nestled in your arms.

I cried for a very long time.

Chapter 133. You'll Marry into the Shinjo Family (4200 words!)

"So that's how it is."

Quietly observe the process in the simulation.

Nango glanced sideways at Shinjo Akane, who had fallen into a deep sleep.

He had no idea.

It turns out that she, who appears glamorous on the outside, actually carries so much burden.

The reason why Akane Shinjo chose to take medication and die in the first playthrough.

It must also be related to her two parents.

Rather, it's more accurate to say...

Despite maintaining this strained relationship with her parents, she still manages to present a sunny and cheerful demeanor to everyone.

No wonder the simulator rated her 'emotional disguise' and 'disguise' talents as LV5.

Nango Toki shifted his gaze away from Shinjo Akane's retreating figure.

Now he finally understands why Shinjo Akane has such an awkward personality.

In a family where relationships were already distorted.

Given that she received that kind of education, it would be difficult for Shinjo Akane's personality not to be awkward.

Fortunately, she was just a bit odd-tempered, not to the point of being twisted and resentful of everyone.

Nanxiang thought that perhaps he really should thank Aunt Tangze Youjia.

If she hadn't had his loving care during her childhood, perhaps Akane Shinjo's personality would be incredibly twisted now?

Nanxiang shook his head and decided to continue reading.

She told you everything she could never say to anyone else.

She's become even more dependent on you.

Similarly, simply renting a place isn't enough to fill the void and anxiety in her heart, so she suggests that you perhaps move in with her.

When she said this to you, she was constantly watching your expression, afraid of upsetting you.

To address her subtle, humble, and uneasy reaction, you can only hold her hand tightly to comfort her and assure her that everything is perfectly fine.

You also didn't expect that, beneath her strong exterior, she would be so vulnerable.

Therefore, even if she doesn't suggest living together, you will still proactively ask her.

Because you want to take good care of this adorable girl.

On a day when cherry blossoms were in full bloom, you moved into Akane Shinjo's mansion—a three-story detached villa in Tokyo.

As the eldest daughter of Shinjo Real Estate, Akane Shinjo possesses far more resources than you might imagine.

Although Akane Shinjo's parents neglected her, the monthly allowance they sent was enough to make some adults with respectable jobs envious.

But you know that Akane Shinjo doesn't need these things.

An empty mansion, lived alone, only brings loneliness.

The ever-increasing numbers on her bank account are meaningless to Shin-chan, who doesn't have much need for material things.

[You finally understand why Akane Shinjo prefers living in her low-rent apartment to such a luxurious mansion.]

She excitedly led you to see the room she shared with you.

The room is spacious, with a double bed in the middle and a large TV screen next to it, where you can relax and watch DVDs while you rest.

She arranged everything perfectly.

You also praised her for this.

But more than verbal approval, she wants your actions to show it.

That night, you enjoyed the comfort of a spacious double bed, a comfort far superior to the single bed in your low-rent apartment.

Time passed day by day.

Sometimes, you can also sense the difference in mindset between you and her regarding wealth and poverty.

She almost never does laundry; she changes into new clothes after wearing an outfit only once or twice.

I rarely take the tram; I usually take a taxi to school.

Most of the time, I eat out at restaurants, and I only cook at home when I'm in a good mood—of course, after Nanxiang moved in, this changed to me cooking for Nanxiang every day.

Compared to Ms. Yamada's extravagant spending, Ms. Shinjo seems to have no idea what money means.

Therefore, she often does things that you can't understand.

During the simulation, memories began to surface repeatedly.

Unlike the previous low-rent housing scenario.

This time, it was at Shinjo's house.

"What does it mean?"

Looking at the thick envelope in front of me, and the incredibly thick stack of 10,000 yen notes inside.

Nanxiang asked calmly in return.

"Ah...this is...um..."

Akane Shinjo still wore a perfect smile as she held up a slender white finger: "Anyway, Nango, you'll always ask me for money eventually, right?"

“It’s too much trouble to keep lending you money... so let’s be straightforward, here’s one million yen, Nango, you can take it and use it.”

Akane Shinjo smiled and shared her thoughts.
