My Romance Simulation with Them

You have announced your wedding date to the public.

No one was surprised at all.

In their view, the name of the tokusatsu company, 'Nango Shinjo,' already says it all.

This year, you are both twenty-nine years old, a time when you have the most energy and are most mature for each other.

Everyone wishes your marriage the best.

Even online, there are fan groups supporting you two after you announced your wedding date.

[With everyone as witnesses, you and Akane Shinjo held your wedding.]

She was stunningly beautiful at the wedding, dressed in a white kimono.

You are dressed in a dark blue Wu-style robe, and your appearance is handsome.

Your wedding didn't involve many people from the entertainment industry, nor did you hold a press conference. The outside world only found out after you were officially married.

That evening, Rikka Takarada, who usually doesn't like drinking, drank quite a bit.

You and Nango Akane took her to her room to rest.

Looking at her peaceful, sleeping face, Nango Akane smiled at you.

She and Rikka Takarada are best friends, and she knows about Rikka Takarada's feelings for you.

[If it weren't for you, she would probably be willing to share anything with Rikka Takarada.]

She could only gently stroke Rikka's forehead and whisper an apology.

Time continues to move forward.

[Nango Shinjo Company continued to produce excellent tokusatsu works in the days that followed.]

[Your and Nango Akane's fame is growing.]

When you look back and gaze upon the scenery of the past, you will find that, without realizing it, the world has begun to call you 'the gods of tokusatsu in the Reiwa era'.

Since the beginning of the Reiwa era, you have captivated everyone with your exceptionally outstanding works.

[Watching the heavy snow fall in the courtyard, you and Nango Akane nestled together.]

[Without even realizing it, your dreams have come true.]

A happiness that emanates from the depths of your soul completely envelops you and her.

Even the most desolate and uninteresting falling snow seems exceptionally lively in your eyes.

[And your go-to actress, Rikka Takarada, frequently tops the list in surveys about "wanting to marry her," her consistently outstanding acting skills surpassing all other actresses in the industry, making her a national-level actress in Japan.]

Even so, the relationship between the three of you remains unchanged.

Although she's nearing middle age, Rikka Takarada still often comes to your house to chat.

Occasionally, she would bring along friends she knew.

Each time she visits, you put a lot of effort into entertaining her; you feel each other's happiness and joy simply by gazing at each other.

After your dream came true, you rarely interfered in the daily affairs of Nango Shinjo Tokusatsu Company.

Because you have strived for your dreams for so long, and now that you are middle-aged, you feel tired and want to stop your relentless forward momentum and rest in each other's arms.

You're working less and less, and spending more and more time together.

[For this reason, it's only natural that Nango Akane became pregnant.]

[Thanks to your long-term vigil and Rikka Takarada's frequent visits, your child with Akane Nanago has been born.]

Lying in the hospital bed, she was pale, but after looking at her child, she couldn't help but reach out and hug him.

Your child is healthy. Because of her childhood experiences, she secretly resolved to ensure this child grows up healthy and safe.

At Rikka Takarada's suggestion, you and your wife named your daughter 'Mirai'.

['Future'—this was a word that Nango Akane dared not hope for during her high school years, and it also contained her expectations for Nango's future.]

[Under your care, along with Nango Akane and Takarada Rikka, Nango will grow up healthy and strong.]

[This is probably because Rikka Takarada often comes to visit and take care of her.]

[Nango Mirai's personality isn't like yours or Nango Akane's; instead, it leans more towards Takarada Rikka's lazy and carefree nature.]

[Because you often took her to see special effects films of "Nango Shinjo," Nango Mirai developed an inexplicable longing for that passionate and righteous world from a young age.]

[Around the time she was in first grade, she told you that she hoped to perform on screen like Rikka Takarada.]

Listening to your child's innocent wishes and watching her grow up step by step, you and Akane Nango feel an indescribable happiness.

[Time continues to move forward.]

[Nanxiang will continue to grow in the future.]

She inherited your black hair, as well as your wife's cute and pretty face. Even when she was only in third grade, little kids were already handing her love letters.

[Under your influence, she, already somewhat precocious, used exceptionally skillful methods to reject the other party.]

Despite this, the sudden incident still prompted the wife, who was already somewhat mischievous, to tease her while she was cooking, asking her what kind of person she wanted to marry when she grew up.

[In response to her teasing, Nango Mirai looked up and earnestly told her mother that she wanted to marry her father when she grew up.]

During the simulation, the scenes from my memory gradually began to emerge.

"Sigh... My daughter wants to marry your father when she grows up?"

Upon hearing this, Nango Akane wiped her water-stained hands on her apron and then looked at her daughter.

Nanxiang Future, a third-grade elementary school student.

Her face was fair with a healthy pink tinge, and her black eyes looked big and cute because of her childlike face shape. Her shoulder-length black short hair looked neat and tidy.

Because she was wearing a princess dress, she looked so petite and cute that you wanted to hold her in your arms.

"Ok!"

Nanxiang Weilai nodded: "Dad, he's handsome and gentle! Last time at the parent-teacher meeting, quite a few aunties asked me curiously for his contact information!"

"Oh dear..."

Hearing this, Nango Akane's smile became even brighter.

It seems we should have left that person at home after all.

It's true—he's clearly already a middle-aged man.

But its charm shows no signs of diminishing.

She always manages to attract attention and admirers.

Nanxiang Qian muttered to herself, then smiled and said, "Then you must work with Mom to keep an eye on Dad in the future, and don't let him be tricked by those weird women."

"Ok!"

Nanxiang Future nodded vigorously again, her little face full of seriousness: "Dad, leave him to me to protect!"

"That's really reliable."

Gently reaching out to stroke Nanxiang Mirai's little head, Nanxiang Akane squatted down while tilting her head to the side.

She looked at the wedding photo of herself and that person hanging on the wall, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips: "Then the topic returns to 'wanting to marry Dad.'"

Nango Akane turned her gaze to her daughter:

"Marrying your father...that's a really wonderful dream."

She smiled and touched Nango Mirai's face with one hand, while extending her other hand to explain, "Because you see, if you can marry that person, you can live a happy and joyful life every day."

"Even later, I was fortunate enough to give birth to you. I am such a lucky person."

"Ok!"

Nanxiang nodded even more vigorously in the future.

Hearing her mother's words, her big eyes lit up, as if marrying her father was the happiest thing in the world.

Then--

"So, you will definitely meet someone outstanding in the future."

"Hey?"

Nango Mirai was stunned.

"So what Mom is saying is that that person is now Mom's, and although I'm sorry, you'll have to choose someone else for the future."

"I only want my dad!"

Nanxiang Future blushed and tried her best to refute her mother.

To her weak and feeble rebuttal, Nango Akane smiled and winked:

"Oh dear, you only value your father, which is just as clever as me. But as I said, that person is already mine. Even if he is my daughter, I will not give him to you."

Nanxiang Qian propped her chin on her hand, watching with a smile as her daughter anxiously spun around in circles.

"So you don't need to rush or panic in the future. One day, you will surely find someone you trust and can rely on."

"That person is Dad!"

"No—absolutely not—he belongs only to Mom."

Nanxiang Qian deliberately dragged out her words.

Her tone was quirky and playful.

Nanxiang was almost brought to tears by her mother.

Then--

"What's wrong?"

"Ah Shi is back. Honestly, you should discipline your daughter. She just said she wants to marry you when she grows up."

When Nango Akane turned to look at Nango, who had just pushed the door open and entered.

"Oh? As expected of my daughter, she has a good eye for people."

"Why do you look so happy? You already have me, you know."
