My Romance Simulation with Them

She collapsed onto the bed with a thud.

The loud noise naturally reached the ears of Naoki Goto and Michiyo Goto in the master bedroom downstairs.

The two people went upstairs, looking puzzled.

Then--

"Yili! Yili! What happened?! Why is there so much blood in my nose?!"

"Ah... with Ah-Shi, doing this... and that..."

With a nosebleed, Goto Ichiri, lost in his own world, made a dazed sound.

"Quick! Get some ice! And some exorcising talismans!"

Late at night, the Goto family was in a flurry of activity, with chickens and dogs running around in chaos.

More than ten minutes later—

After being resettled and with his nosebleed stopped, Goto Ichiri stared at the empty ceiling.

The parents have gone back to rest.

She finally calmed down and began to think about the things in the fragments of her memory.

This memory is almost identical to the last one.

They all provide a very realistic experience.

The only difference from the last time was that she lived with the other members of the band who had ended their careers, and with Nango Toki, until they grew old.

If I had to say...

This ending is actually quite contrary to common sense.

but--

Everyone is so happy...

Recalling the smiles that Ichiji Nijika, Kita Ikuyo, and Yamada Ryo had shown in her memory, smiles she had never seen before.

Lying in bed, Goto Ichiri, with a tissue covering his nose, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Memories of the last time.

Although she did find happiness.

However, just as in memory, Ichiji Nijika, Yamada Ryo, and Kita Ikuyo also lost the right to pursue happiness.

They didn't complain at all and sincerely offered themselves their blessings.

but...

Happiness...that's true happiness...

pursuit of happiness...

It's something everyone wants to do.

For her and Nanxiang's sake, they gave up on this matter and instead watched over each other.

He had only been watching over others for a short time, and now he was thirty-one years old.

"How many 31-year-olds can a girl have?"

Huddled in bed, Goto Ichiri asked in return.

More than ten years...

This is not a short number.

Measured by the standards of an average person's lifetime, this is nearly one-eighth.

Let's think about it the other way around.

If Nango Toki and Ichi Chi Nikka were to fall in love.

I failed in this long-term relationship.

Will he, like the band members in his dream memories, be waiting for him?

He waited for more than a decade.

"Probably still will..."

Goto Ichiri closed his eyes and murmured to himself.

She understands herself.

With her timid and insecure personality, if she truly falls in love with someone, it can only be a lifelong commitment.

Marry someone other than Nango Toki.

Let's not talk about happiness anymore.

Goto Ichiri couldn't even bear to think about such a thing—it was simply too terrifying.

You should know that the person she knows best and loves most is Nango Toki.

Let alone more than ten years.

Goto Ichiri estimated that she could probably wait for twenty or thirty years without any problem.

Let's bring the topic back.

If we were to place our present selves into the fragments of memory we've created...

Will she make that choice again?

"...It probably still will."

Goto Ichiri said softly.

The self in the fragments of memory is exactly the same as the self in reality.

If that day ever comes.

So she would probably make the same choice as herself in her dream.

To achieve happiness together with everyone.

Rather than wishing for happiness to be enjoyed by oneself alone.

Because it's just watching former bandmates from a disbanded band wait for over a decade...

She found it all extremely cruel.

And the same is true for Nango Toki in the dream...

"No matter what... that person... always prioritizes our affairs..."

Gently place your palm on your chest.

A slight blush appeared on Goto Ichiri's fair face.

Ah Shi...

I really want to see him right now...

Not in dreams, not in memories, which are such empty things.

But now... he truly exists...

As she thought about it, a pure and beautiful smile appeared on her face.

But to outsiders, this smile was—

Hehe...hehe...

"Shouldn't we invite one of the spiritual mediums we know to come and take a look at Ichiri?"

"Ok, I know."

He saw the expression on Goto Ichiri's face as she lay in her room, laughing to herself.

The Goto couple, their faces full of worry, exchanged a glance.

My daughter is probably really possessed by some evil spirit...

Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a terrifying laugh so late at night.

They made up their minds in secret.

It seems we still need to invite a spiritual medium to take a look.

......

I woke up in the morning at my usual pace.

Nanxiang started jogging as usual.

For him, jogging every morning has become a complete habit.

His constant training has made his already good physique even better.

In addition, the simulator provides a boost to your progress with each morning run.

Nanxiang Shi's current sprinting speed and rhythm are quite good.

Another jog ended, and I returned home.

When I arrived in Nanxiang, I heard the system notification sound in my ear.

He had assumed it was the usual day when the system would notify him of his increased activity level.

but--

[Your athletic ability has slightly increased; your athletic ability has increased to 8. You have gained Special Ability LV3.]

"Ok?"

Nanxiang, who was drinking water, stopped what he was doing and opened his attribute panel with some surprise.
