My Romance Simulation with Them

Nanxiang rubbed his forehead.

Who's going to take care of this crazy woman who's over forty but still acts like a child?

no way.

Nanxiang finally took his seat.

She sat right next to Ichi Seika.

"Huh—? Why aren't you sitting next to Kiku-san? Nango-kun—really!"

Hiroi Kikuri was as energetic as ever, muttering complaints under her breath.

"You're already over forty, shouldn't you pay a little more attention to your appearance?"

After accepting the yakitori skewers from Ijichi Hoshika, Nango Toki thanked her but also reminded Hiroi Kikuri of something.

"Waaaah—time flies so fast! That Nango boy who used to always follow me around calling me 'Kiku-neechan' is now married!"

"First of all, that's completely wrong. I've never followed you around like a puppy. Secondly, I've been married for nine years, not just now."

Nango glanced sideways at Hiroi Kikuri.

"Damn it! Why am I still single?! General, another bottle of sake, please!"

Hearing Nango Toki's words, Hiroi Kikuri uttered a sound of grief and indignation.

Like Ichika Ichi and Ms. PA, she has remained single to this day.

The latter two simply weren't very interested in dating.

She, on the other hand, has never found a type that satisfies her, and coupled with her busy rock career, she simply has no time for dating.

So it's been delayed until now.

That's enough for now.

Nango Toki blocked the sake bottle that the izakaya taisho was offering, and glanced at Hiroi Kikuri: "Have you forgotten the doctor's advice?"

This person has loved drinking ever since he started playing rock music.

Even now, I still can't quit.

Of all the people he knew, this guy was probably in the worst health.

After all, concerts are all midnight shows.

In addition, he drank alcohol every day.

If this continues, the person might die on the spot if they get any older.

Even in reality, Nanxiang had the urge to force her to quit drinking.

If she keeps drinking like this, Hiroi Kikuri's health will eventually collapse.

Although there is a universal cure that can bring it back.

But alcohol is only suitable for sipping, not for her habit of drinking several bottles at a time.

"Why--?"

Kikuri Hiroi voiced her dissatisfaction.

“I think Nanxiang is right.”

Ijichi Hoshika only took two sips: "Take this opportunity to quit drinking, Hiroi."

"Even my seniors say that? No way—alcohol is the only thing that can comfort me in my life!"

"Is it okay to give up on this kind of life?"

Ijichi Hoshika spoke incisively.

Seeing the two of them bickering, Ms. PA covered her face and chuckled to herself.

The same as the band members who ended the game.

The friendship among the adults in the 'Starry Night' performance hall did not change over time.

He said he was drinking with a few of them.

Actually, I didn't drink much in Nanxiang. I just ate yakitori skewers and chatted with the other girls about interesting topics.

Over the years, Ijichi Hoshika has long since handed over the 'Starry Night' performance hall to Ijichi Nijika for inheritance.

Ms. PA is constantly being pressured by her parents to get married, but she herself isn't in a hurry and always has a smiling and cheerful demeanor.

As for Kikuri Hiroi...

As mentioned before.

She's still the same as before, busy with her rock career. Now she's a popular rock bassist, no longer confined to performance halls, and sometimes even holds concerts with her bandmates.

However, her health has not been good recently, probably because she drank too much when she was young and did not know how to control herself. The doctor advised her to drink in moderation in the future.

When I came to Nanxiang, it wasn't so much to keep them company while they drank.

It would be better to act more as a 'friend of women' and listen to their recent troubles.

However, today's listening troubles seem to be different from usual.

Nango couldn't help but glance at Ijichi Hoshika on the other side.

He always felt that the other person seemed to have something else to say.

And subsequent events seemed to confirm Nango Toki's idea.

I drank the last cup of sake.

Slightly tipsy, Ichika Hoshika spoke up: "Nango, actually, I came here this time because I have something to discuss with you."

She put down her wine glass, looked at Nanxiang, and spoke, word by word:

"It's a discussion about my sister's future life."

Chapter 186. Love Like a Sudden Rain, Yet Never Ceases (4200 words!)

"It's a discussion about my sister's future life."

As soon as Ichiji Hoshika uttered those words.

Hiroi Kiku, who had been making a huge fuss just moments before, fell silent.

Miss PA also opened her eyes, which were always squinting and smiling, and looked over.

It seems that both of them know the main reason why Ichiji Hoshika asked Nango to come today.

"Please speak."

Sensing the change in atmosphere, Nango Toki also looked up.

“Playing mind games with Nanxiang won’t work, and I don’t like beating around the bush, so I’ll just get straight to the point.”

Ichika Hoshika placed her hand on the table: "What do you think of my sister?"

This question is actually not difficult to answer.

Having known Ichiji Nijika for over ten years, Nango Toki didn't even need to think before speaking: "As expected, you're very understanding."

There's really no need to mention external factors like being lively, cheerful, energetic, and generous.

What impressed him most about Nijika Ichichi was probably her 'understanding' nature.

A personality that can understand and tolerate everyone.

This is the most important reason why the band persevered from the beginning to the end.

"She is an outstanding person, both from her student days and now."

Nanxiang made his own assessment.

but--

"No need for extra praise."

Ichiji Hoshika shook her head.

What she wanted to hear now was not just the evaluation that someone who knew Ichiki Nijika could give.

What she wants to hear, what she wants to know, is...

What do you think of my sister? If she were your wife?

"..."

As soon as those words were spoken...

Nanxiang frowned and said, "I already have a wife..."

"So as I said, it's 'if,' it's just a hypothesis."

Ijichi Hoshika didn't seem to care and waved her hand to indicate that the conversation should continue.

Assuming...?

This assumption is made when the person is already married...

Nanxiang's emotional intelligence was quite high.

Now he understood what Ichiji Hoshika was trying to say.

But he still blurted out what he wanted to say: "If Hongxia were my wife, she would be very happy, right? She's capable, gentle, considerate, and understanding."

"Right?!"

Ichi Seika was very satisfied with Nango Toki's answer: "No matter what, Nijika definitely has the potential to be a good wife."

"So--"

She paused for a moment: "Nanxiang, you know my sister is still single, right?"

She is already thirty-one years old this year.

Ichika Hoshika spoke, her crimson eyes fixed on Nango Toki: "Including Ryo, Kita... Nango, who do you think they're waiting for?"

How many times in a lifetime are there thirty-one years?
