My Romance Simulation with Them

this--

Not right.

Something's really wrong!

He realized that Goto Ichiri's relationship with Nango Toki might not be so simple.

Michiyo Goto winked at Naoki Goto.

Her meaning was quite simple.

This is how my daughter reacted.

Could it be that he has feelings for Nango-kun...?

As someone who had lived with his wife for over ten years, Goto Naoki naturally understood the meaning behind her gaze.

He nodded subtly, indicating that he agreed with his wife's feelings.

Yes--

They even held hands right in front of them.

Moreover, they had never seen their eldest daughter, who was extremely socially anxious, be so proactive towards a boy.

The two simply looked at each other and eventually reached a consensus through the tacit understanding between husband and wife.

"Nango-kun," said Michiyo Goto, a serene smile on her face.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Aunt Michiyo?"

"Actually, it's nothing."

Michiyo Goto smiled and said, "I heard from Ichiri that it was Nango-kun who helped find Niri... In this regard, I would like to thank you properly... So I would like to ask if Nango-kun has any time recently? I would like to invite you to our house for a meal."

Have a meal together?

Nango shook his head: "Ichiri and I are friends. This is just a small favor. There's no need to trouble Aunt Michi."

indeed.

Taking care of Goto Jiri is what he, as the older brother, should do.

We can't just watch her get lost at the Imperial Tea Festival, can we?

"It is still needed."

Michiyo Goto clasped her hands together and decided for Toki Nanago: "How about this? Nanago-kun, come over to our house for dinner next weekend."

"Since Aunt Michiyo has said so, then I shall not be so disrespectful."

Goto Michiyo extended such a warm invitation, especially considering that the other party was also her elder.

After thinking about it, Nanxiang finally nodded in agreement.

It's not a big deal after all.

It's not like a son-in-law visiting his parents-in-law; it's just a meal, nothing serious.

Goto Ichiri, standing next to him, stared blankly at Nango Toki as if struck by lightning.

Huh? Huh—! ?

Ah, Ah Shi is coming to my house for dinner?!

The surprise came so fast, like a tornado, that she was caught completely off guard.

Eating, having a meal... even though it's at home.

But it was during his time in the south that he took time out of his weekend to come here...

In a sense, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Goto Ichiri started to let his mind wander again.

The expression on her face when she secretly glanced at Nanxiang became a mixture of conflict and anticipation.

"Just as I expected..."

Naoki Goto and Michiyo Goto, who had raised Ichiri Goto for over a decade, noticed the change in their eldest daughter's mood almost instantly.

They couldn't help but exchange a glance, completely confirming their earlier guess.

My daughter must have fallen for Nanxiang Shi in front of her!

Thinking this way.

Naoki Goto and Michiyo Goto smiled and began chatting with Toki Nango.

Nango Toki's speaking skills were exceptional; he was witty and eloquent, and even when communicating with elders like Goto Naoki and Goto Michiyo, he seemed completely at ease.

His witty remarks quickly made the atmosphere of the conversation relaxed and pleasant.

When it's about time...

Nango Toki and Goto Ichiri then stood up to say goodbye to Goto Naoki and Goto Michiyo.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Goto Ichiri still has work to do at the maid and butler café, and she can only relax and have fun after she finishes her shift.

While things are temporarily calm in Nanxiang, we still need to be constantly on guard against any possible situations.

A strange intuition told him that today's tea ceremony was far from over.

They both got up to say goodbye.

Although Naoki Goto and Michiyo Goto were somewhat reluctant to part, they still smiled and nodded goodbye.

As the two of them walked further and further apart.

Naoki Goto then pulled Michiyo Goto aside, his face full of excitement, and discussed with some disbelief, "I can't be mistaken, right? Ichiri really does like Nango-kun, right?"

I think so.

Michiyo Goto nodded.

They were all women.

She certainly understands her daughter's thoughts better than her own husband does.

My daughter, who has been withdrawn and socially anxious since kindergarten, probably has someone she likes this time.

and--

"I never expected Yili to have such good judgment..."

Michiyo Goto exclaimed in admiration.

I must say, despite her social anxiety, low self-esteem, mediocre grades, and numerous shortcomings, my daughter has a really good eye for talent.

It's amazing that he could recognize someone as outstanding as Nango Toki at a glance.

Japan ranked first in nationwide mock tests.

If he can maintain this level of academic performance, he'll probably be able to get into the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Medicine with ease in the future.

Moreover, after chatting with Nango Toki, I discovered that he was a student who had come all the way from Akita Prefecture to Tokyo.

This made her even more satisfied.

"Ahem—From the same perspective, Michiyo, you actually have pretty good taste too."

Naoki Goto watched as his wife praised Nango so highly.

As a man, he naturally felt a bit competitive and coughed lightly before speaking.

"..." Goto Michiyo couldn't help but glance at her husband, then let out a small sigh.

"Naoki, have you forgotten? When you were in a rock band, I almost broke up with you because you weren't very successful?"

"Well--!"

Naoki Goto shuddered as if struck by lightning.

That was indeed an experience he found hard to forget.

Naoki Goto was once overly obsessed with rock bands, but the bands themselves were not famous and could not make a living from it. Therefore, Michiyo Goto told him that if he did not find a job, they would break up.

This forced him to give up rock music and find a job.

“But even so, Naoki, you’re still just a ‘window-side person’.”

With a serene smile on her face, Michiyo Goto spoke again.

"Waaah!"

Naoki Goto let out a mournful cry, unable to rise again.

In Japan, "window-side workers" refers to employees who are not valued in the workplace. Because they are not trusted by their superiors, and because it is feared that they will affect the work of other employees, they are placed in remote positions such as windows or warehouses.

With just a few casual words, she suppressed her husband's newly emerging arrogance.

Michiyo Goto and Naoki Goto then turned back to look at the departing figures of Nango.

Based solely on our first meeting today.

Their impression of the southern countryside was extremely positive.

However, it is clear that to truly understand a person, one cannot make hasty judgments based on just one meeting.

There were still many things they didn't understand about Nanxiang.

If possible, as Goto Ichiri's parents, they naturally hoped to get to know Nango Toki better.

After all, it was obvious that their daughter had fallen for the other person, and judging from her expression, she was quite 'infatuated'.

Therefore, as Goto Ichiri's parents, they would definitely want to know more about Nango's affairs to be on the safe side.

This is also an important reason why they invited Nanxiang to dinner.

"Actually, being excellent or not is not that important."

Michiyo Goto shook her head: "As long as Ichiri can be happy in the future, that's enough."

“Yes.” Goto Naoki wholeheartedly agreed.

Even if Nango wasn't that outstanding, as long as Goto Ichiri is happy.
