My Romance Simulation with Them

But it still happened in the end. Because of the long hours of tutoring them, you collapsed and needed to rest. During this time, it was the girl who had finished playing in the band who stayed by your side.

Although you are not an official member of the band, all the members of the band have long regarded you as someone equally important to them.

Under their meticulous care, you gradually recovered, and they gradually, from the bottom of their hearts, accepted you as their only male companion.

You cherish and care for them, and they reciprocate in kind. Your relationship with them deepens at this point.

To get the band back on track, you enrolled at Tokyo University, and with your excellent interpersonal skills and academic abilities, you pulled the band out of its slump during its upward trajectory.

At this moment, in their eyes you are both a lighthouse in the fog and a guiding star in the darkness.

[The band continued to grow stronger, and during this process, something unexpected happened—Nijika Iji confessed her feelings to you.]

In fact, everyone knows perfectly well that each of them harbors some degree of affection for you, who has worked so hard for the band.

[But faced with Ichichi Nijika's confession and Yamada Ryo's rooftop revelation of his feelings, you ultimately rejected her.]

Because of everyone, the one you worry about the most is still that timid, self-conscious girl with long pink hair.

[You fell in love with Goto Ichiri, but Ichichi Nijika, Yamada Ryo, and Kita Ikuyo did not become depressed or give up.]

They simply cherish and keep all their sincere feelings for you deep in their hearts.

"......" Nanxiang time.

Upon seeing this line of text, Nanxiang couldn't help but rub his temples.

Although Ms. Goto's simulated ending this time is a happy ending.

However, judging from the simulator's description alone, this doesn't seem to be a proper harem ending route.

However, it's pointless to dwell on routes that have already been simulated.

In the south, one could only watch as the written language continued to evolve.

Even after performing on major stages like the Budokan and Tokyo Dome, these two still remain single and have clearly rejected numerous suitors from within the industry.

And their feelings for you have never faded; on the contrary, they have become even more radiant.

Similarly, you and Ichiri Goto have a very happy married life.

A mixture of various emotions has persisted to this day.

"Mother Liang, Mother Liang! How do you think this part of the piece should be written?"

A little girl with black hair, wearing a white dress and holding sheet music, ran up to a mature-looking woman with short blue hair and a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and curiously raised the sheet music in her hand.

Naizhu from Nanxiang is nine years old this year.

She inherited her father Nango's excellent learning talent and black hair, as well as her mother Nango Ichiri's delicate and refined face.

Even though she's only in third grade, her rosy lips and white teeth are enough to make her adorable.

A request to see such a cute little girl.

Anyone would probably soften their heart and try their best to answer her questions, right?

but--

Upon hearing her words, the woman with short blue hair simply set down her wine glass lazily, then extended her fair and soft hand and spoke in a completely unwavering tone:

"Naitake, consultation fee, 2,200 yen."

Ryo Yamada, 31 years old this year, asked a child who is only nine years old for a consultation fee.

"Why--?"

Nango Naitake dragged out his dissatisfied voice.

That innocent, childlike face was filled with incomprehension.

How could her own mother, who was only nine years old, ask her for money?

Doesn't this person have any backbone as an adult?

“Liang’s mom, if you do this, Hongxia’s mom might say you’re a social outcast who asks children for money.”

Nango Naitake looked at the outstretched hand and protested.

“Say whatever you want, Hongxia. I’m just telling you in advance that you will have to face the cruel side of society when you grow up.”

Yamada Ryo seemed completely unconcerned: "Two thousand two hundred yen."

"Huh...? How come this is? And doesn't Ryo-mama usually only ask for 2,000 yen?"

Nango Naitake pouted angrily.

Normally, Yamada Ryo only accepts 2,000 yen.

Why are you going even further today, charging an extra two hundred?

She found it a little hard to accept.

"The reason is simple."

The woman with short, dark blue hair in front of me crossed her legs, her perfect leg shape accentuated by her tight jeans.

Under Nango Nobu's gaze, she spoke calmly and without any fluctuation in her tone.

"Today is Valentine's Day, and your father didn't give me a Valentine's Day gift, so I'll have to charge you an extra 10% as interest."

"It would be strange if Dad really gave Aunt Liang a Valentine's Day gift, wouldn't it?"

Although she was nearly nine years old, Nango Nobuko still spoke very sensibly: "Daddy has a mom now."

"That's why I said you're too young, Naitake, and you don't understand anything."

Yamada Ryo yawned lazily as he downed the sake in his glass, and said matter-of-factly, "It's better if he's a married man."

"Why--?"

Nango Naitake wanted to say something more after hearing this.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice from the side.

What does it mean that "it must be a married man"?

With her mature blonde hair in a high ponytail, Ichiji Nijika had just come in from outside after collecting the laundry and immediately spoke irritably: "What kind of education are you giving a nine-year-old child?! Is this some kind of 'cool' thing?!"

"Humph."

Yamada Ryo snorted smugly, "This is our Yamada family's unique education method."

"I've never heard of such an educational method before!"

really-

Does this person really know what they are saying?

Chapter 184. I'll go to bed a little later tonight, one mile (4000 words!)

Seriously—does this person even know what they're saying?

Ichi Niji Natsu glared at Yamada Ryo.

But in the end, he just glared at Yamada Ryo.

At thirty-one years old, she still finds herself helpless against her best friend, just like before.

Yamada Ryo didn't care about Ichiji Nijika's glare, and without the slightest hesitation, retorted confidently:

"Doesn't Hongxia want to get a Valentine's Day gift from that guy?"

"Uh--"

As soon as she said that, Ichiji Nijika's voice clearly faltered.

Do you not want to receive a Valentine's Day gift from Nanxiang Shi?

Just thinking about it makes it clear that it's impossible, right?

She likes Nanxiang Shi, she really likes Nanxiang Shi.

Without the other person, it would have been very difficult to realize my long-held dream of ending the band.

If only I could receive the Valentine's Day gift that Nanxiang gave her...

Ichi Nijika could hardly imagine how happy she would be.

The toes hidden under the yellow boat socks were moving restlessly.

"After all, we've known that guy for so long, haven't we? He hasn't even given us a Valentine's Day gift once. Isn't that his problem?"

When Ms. Yamada said this, there was an inexplicable sense of self-righteousness about it.

“…” Ichiji Nijika opened her mouth.

Emotionally speaking, she really wanted to agree with Yamada Ryo's words.

But rationally speaking—

"Stop saying such strange things."

Ichi Nijika shook her head, avoiding being led astray by Yamada Ryo.

After all, this guy is an exceptionally free-spirited and lawless eccentric in every sense of the word.

Ichi Nijika abruptly ended the conversation, then picked up the laundry basket from the floor again, exuding a domestic air: "If Little Lonely heard that, you..."

"Huh...? What's wrong with me?"

Some curious voices came from nearby.

Nango Ichiri, still sporting the same long hair she had in high school, emerged from the side room.

She clearly didn't hear the topic of discussion between Ijichi Nikka and Yamada Ryo.

A pair of clear blue eyes were filled with curiosity and incomprehension: "Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Uh--"

Ichika Nijika really hadn't expected Nango Ichiri to appear so quickly...

"Little Lonely, didn't you go shopping for Valentine's Day gifts with Nanxiang-kun?"

"Ah... well, Shiki always has more ideas than me... she already bought the gift when she arrived... is something wrong, Nijika-chan?"
