My Romance Simulation with Them

"cold?"

Nanxiang slightly tilted his head.

"It's a bit cold."

Yamada breathed out hot air.

Nanxiang didn't continue speaking, letting her put her hands in her pockets.

Yamada Ryo seemed to sense something and looked at Nango.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but as she walked forward, Nanxiang seemed to be closer to her.

Yamada Ryo blinked, said nothing more, and simply followed Nango Toki forward.

She is somewhat enjoying her current state.

Self-service cafes do exist in Tokyo, Japan.

There are also 24-hour service points open.

The general process is to select the desired cup size and then insert the money into the machine.

Then it will dispense the corresponding model of paper cup.

Then take the paper cup to the self-service coffee machine, place it in front of the machine's scanning tray, and coffee will naturally flow from the nozzle.

This process was incredibly novel for Ms. Yamada, who usually only brewed coffee by hand.

After all, self-service coffee is just a commoner's drink, with a medium cup costing less than 500 or 600 yen.

It's completely different from the hand-brewed coffee that you only get in a small cup in a regular coffee shop.

Yamada Ryo blinked and asked Nango Toki many questions about the self-service coffee machine.

After the two finished their coffees, Nanxiang glanced at the time.

It's already past 10 p.m.

It's a jumble of miscellaneous things all crammed together.

Nanxiang naturally leaned against the transparent glass window of the self-service coffee shop, took a sip of his drink, and then asked:

"So, why did you suddenly come to my house so late at night?"

"..." Yamada Ryo.

Ms. Yamada, who was squatting on the edge of the steps, did not rush to answer.

She simply held the paper self-service coffee cup in both hands, taking small sips while watching the steam rise from the cup.

Under the lights of the self-service coffee shop, the edges of her fair profile were slightly translucent, making her look like a goddess in the night.

After a while, she finally spoke: "I had a dream."

"Dream?"

Ms. Yamada hummed in agreement and exhaled a warm breath: "I dreamt about you. I suddenly really wanted to see you, so I came over."

"......" Nanxiang time.

That reason is a bit too...free.

Yes.

If this can be considered a reason, then Ms. Yamada is far too free.

Just because I had a dream about him, I went out to see him?

This is really...

"What time do you think it is? Cold?"

Nanxiang sighed and asked.

"10:23 p.m.

"...I wasn't asking you about the time, it's getting cold."

Nanxiang couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Sometimes, Ms. Yamada really does have trouble understanding what others are saying.

"What I mean is, won't your parents worry about you going out so late?"

“I didn’t tell them I went out. Praise me, Shi.”

As she said this, Yamada Ryo's expressionless face seemed to show a hint of smugness, and she even puffed out her chest.

"......" Nanxiang time.

I'm praising you?

You want me to praise you?

I feel like I could rub your face raw right now.

Going out late at night.

I haven't told my parents yet.

"Contact your parents immediately after you get back."

Nanxiang made a decisive decision.

joke.

Akane Shinjo was actually treated as a special case back then.

Miss Yamada is different.

Her parents really care about her, their only daughter.

If they saw her disappear from her room late at night, given the personalities of Yamada's parents...

They might actually call the police immediately.

Nanxiang didn't want to be accused of 'abducting a female high school student' for no reason.

"To be honest, I actually wanted to stay overnight. Shi, come with me to look at some pajamas later."

"......" Nanxiang time.

He and Yamada Ryo are a prime example of each having their own version of events.

However, when he called Yamada's parents to explain the matter, he did not follow Miss Yamada's wishes.

After tossing the empty coffee cup into the designated trash can, Nanxiang Shi said decisively, "Contact your parents as soon as you get back, or I'll take you home right now."

"Does that mean you'll be staying at my place? We happen to have two guest rooms."

Yamada Ryo raised his indifferent face, his amber eyes shining as he looked at Nango Toki.

"......" Nanxiang time.

He really didn't expect Yamada Ryo to think of this.

Nanxiang shook his head speechlessly, then simply ignored her and headed back the way he came.

Seeing this, Yamada Ryo finished his coffee and then followed Nango Toki.

This time.

She naturally slipped her hand into Nanxiang's pocket.

Seeing this, Nanxiang didn't say much.

The two headed towards the rented house.

......

Because I drank coffee on the way, I was delayed a little.

When the two returned home, it was almost 10:41.

At the strong request of Nanxiang.

Yamada Ryo, who had already bought pajamas at a convenience store on her way, called her parents under his watchful gaze.

Nango Toki watched Yamada Ryo make a phone call and nodded.

In this way, we can finally send this hot potato, Ms. Yamada, home as soon as possible.

It's late at night, after all.

It's somewhat inappropriate for a girl to stay overnight at his house without any other reason, regardless of the reason given.

Even if Yamada's parents were very indulgent towards their daughter, they probably wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, right?

Nango and Yamada waited for a while, about half a minute.

Yamada's father answered the phone.

Next is the conversation between Yamada Ryo and his father on the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Dad?"

"Um... Ah... I suddenly remembered something, I'd like to stay at a classmate's house tonight."

"Hmm... I won't cause any trouble for my classmates. That's settled then."

beep-

The phone call ended.

"Alright, time."

Yamada Ryo turned his face, his inorganic amber eyes looking at Nango, and offered a reminder.

"...ah???"

Is that all?

Nango, who had been watching Yamada make the phone call the whole time, looked completely incredulous.

no...

Ms. Yamada.
