My Romance Simulation with Them

Page 293

How did Rio Futaba find out?

When faced with Nango's curiosity, Rio Futaba gave a very decisive answer this time.

"When I left home yesterday morning, I saw you walking on the street with a very pretty girl with pink hair."

"Cough cough cough-"

Upon hearing this, Nango choked on his own saliva.

Since he hadn't confirmed his relationship with Ms. Goto yet, to avoid any misunderstanding, Nango explained, "I just wanted to help move her performance equipment."

"is it?"

The explanation of Nanxiang.

Rio Futaba simply nodded with a calm expression, then continued, "Later at school, I saw you walking together with Akane Shinjo, who was second in the grade, at the Ocha Festival."

"That was because I was helping to move equipment, and then I found that it was almost all moved, so I stopped by to have breakfast."

"is it?"

Rio Futaba still didn't refute Nango's explanation, but simply continued the conversation:

"In the maid and butler café, I was at the table next to you. You were having dinner with several lovely girls, and they were all confessing their feelings to you."

"......" Nanxiang time.

Nanxiang remained silent this time.

There's really no need for further explanation.

This is indeed true.

but--

He couldn't help but glance at Rio Futaba in front of him.

So this woman didn't do anything all day yesterday; she just spent the whole day observing him?

"Futaba, do you perhaps have a hobby of spying and stalking?"

Nanxiang simply retorted with a question.

That's right. If the first two times were just coincidences, he absolutely wouldn't believe that the third time would be just as coincidental.

And it seems that this was precisely to confirm Nango's idea.

After hearing his words, Rio Futaba, who had already regained her composure, looked away guiltily.

She did indeed deliberately follow Nanxiang Shi.

Because she was very curious.

I'm really curious.

Until yesterday, she had always thought that Nanxiang was the same type of person as her—

'Not communicating with others', 'reclusive', 'as long as their academic performance is decent'...

Her image on campus was almost exactly the same as when she was in Nanxiang.

This also gave her a false impression.

That is, Nango Toki was essentially the same as himself, an identical kind.

Therefore, after having a pleasant conversation with several girls when she met Nanxiang yesterday... how could she not feel confused and curious?

They should be people like themselves.

But you ended up having so many friends?

How could she not pay attention to him?

As a result, the more she looked, the more shocked she became... to the point that she opened her mouth wide in disbelief.

I actually met so many girls when I was in Nanxiang.

Some were from our school, and some were from other schools.

And every single girl looked so outstanding.

What kind of social skills is this?

Seeing this, she finally confirmed it.

Nanxiang was not a gloomy and withdrawn person...

No, ultimately, receiving so many confessions isn't a question of being aloof or not.

"Nanxiang-kun was rumored to be a withdrawn person at school... I always thought you were one of my kind..."

Rio Futaba fell silent when she got to this point.

When Nango, as a listener, heard this, he roughly understood what she meant.

"Because you think I'm your kind, that we have similar personalities, but I have so many female friends and I'm popular with them, so you think you should be able to do the same as me... That's why you took the initiative to contact me yesterday."

Nanxiang paused, then concluded with a rhetorical question: "Is that so?"

"Ah."

Rio Futaba did not deny this.

On the other side, Nanxiang Shi rubbed his temples.

Rio Futaba's personality is exactly the same as hers in "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai".

They are introverted and withdrawn, and long to communicate with others.

However, due to her science-oriented nature and her habit of staying in the science preparation room, she ended up not having many friends.

Even in class, he rarely interacts with others.

But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to communicate with others.

She also wants to be 'needed'.

This is also the main reason why she asked Nango, "How can I become as popular as you?"

We've arrived here.

It was only when he was in Nanxiang that he finally understood the whole story.

but--

Do you think you can be like me?

Nanxiang asked a question.

"Yes."

This time, Rio Futaba nodded.

Since Nanxiang was able to receive so much popularity from the opposite sex.

So she should also...

"wrong."

"Why...?"

Rio Futaba exclaimed in surprise when her idea was rejected without the slightest hesitation.

"You can't become me, at least not right now."

Under Rio Futaba's gaze, Toki Nanago pointed a finger: "Interpersonal skills cannot be developed overnight. Just because I am popular with everyone else doesn't mean you can be."

"Nanxiang...you're making it sound like you can get along with anyone if you want to."

"Yes."

Nanxiang nodded confidently, seemingly without any doubt about his communication skills.

This overly confident attitude caused Rio Futaba, a science-oriented girl, to show a hint of incomprehension.

She truly didn't understand.

Where does this man's inexplicable confidence come from?

It felt as if the word 'inferiority complex' had absolutely nothing to do with the man in front of her.

but--

That's exactly right.

Nango seemed oblivious to Rio Futaba's thoughts, and bluntly stated, "I am welcomed by so many people, while you are all alone in the science prep room, with no friends at all. That is the essential difference."

Uh--

Nango's words left Rio Futaba speechless.

Her face turned bright red, but she had no idea how to refute the other person.

This is indeed true.

He was popular in the southern countryside.

But she was all alone.

Can't this person be a little more tactful when they speak? Why do they have to be so blunt?

In the end, she could only utter a faint sound under Nanxiang's gaze.

"...I have friends."

"Oh?"

As soon as he said that, Nanxiang perked up.

coming!
