My Romance Simulation with Them

As expected...

I heard those two overly familiar names from Rio Futaba's mouth.

Nanxiang let out a heavy sigh.

His suspicions were confirmed.

Just like 'Utsumi Sho' and 'Hibiki Yuta' exist in this world.

It is only natural that the characters Sakuta Azusagawa and Yuuma Kunimi exist in this world.

Chapter 190. 'Liking' or 'Longing'? (4000 words!)

Sakuta Azusagawa and Yuuma Kunimi do exist in this world.

Nanxiang's guess has come true.

but--

This has nothing to do with me.

Nanxiang thought to himself silently.

To avoid any unnecessary complications, he had already removed Rio Futaba from his list of simulation subjects.

So what's next...?

We should treat this matter with a normal attitude.

Thinking of this, Nanxiang Shi spoke up.

"Since Futaba-san has friends, why doesn't she go and talk to Azusagawa Sakuta or Kunimi Yuuma? Talking to someone as unpopular as me...it's bound to be pointless, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyes.

"There's absolutely no point in discussing it with Azusagawa."

Rio Futaba shook her head: "Discussing issues with unpopular people won't change the outcome."

"......" Nanxiang time.

As expected of a science major, her intuition on this kind of issue is truly insightful.

Moreover, this mouth is far too sharp-tongued.

but--

"You seem to have only mentioned Azusagawa-kun, what about Kunimi-kun?"

Nango heard her evaluation of Sakuta Azusagawa, but he didn't hear Kunimi Yuuma's evaluation.

Therefore, when I went to Nanxiang, I went to inquire further.

And it was under his questioning that this occurred.

Rio Futaba, who had been calm and expressionless just moments before, paused slightly in her voice: "Kunimi... there's no point in bothering him with this kind of thing, and besides, he already has a girlfriend."

You can't hear any particular emotion in his voice.

But Nango still managed to catch the pause in Rio Futaba's voice.

Um...

It seems my previous predictions were all correct.

She received a red bean bun from Kunimi Yuuma when school started.

At this stage, Rio Futaba likely harbored a vague longing for Yuma Kunimi...

As for whether this faint longing will eventually develop into affection or simply disappear...

"That has little to do with me."

I was thinking about it when I was in the south.

He had already removed Rio Futaba from the simulation list, so how her mood would change afterward was, frankly, not much to him.

But at least he's heard enough to get to the point where he wants to know more, and he's gotten quite a bit of information from the girl with glasses.

Just like that, he patted his butt and left...

how to say.

Even Nango Toki, who usually doesn't care much about what others think, felt a little guilty.

You know, if the original plot had continued...

Since Kunimi Yuuma has a girlfriend, Futaba Rio will remain single until university...

Perhaps she was thinking of the girls in the simulated band who had also been waiting for their end for over a decade.

Nango shook his head, thought for a moment, and then simply raised his head: "Futaba-kun."

"Ok?"

"Actually, you have feelings of admiration for Kunimi Yuuma... or rather, feelings of affection, Futaba-kun."

Ask questions directly, without beating around the bush.

"puff!!!!"

Rio Futaba was drinking coffee when she heard Nango's words and spat it all over the table.

This was an extremely rare moment of embarrassment for her.

But she can't care about any of that now.

She ran straight to Nan Xiangshi, her slender fingers grabbing his collar, her previously cold and calm tone trembling at that moment:

"What...what are you saying?! Are you an idiot? Are you an idiot, Nanxiang?!"

"That's how I see it from my personal perspective."

In contrast to Rio Futaba's panic, Toki Nanago's expression remained calm.

He brushed aside Rio's fingers, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said, "And that's probably the main reason you came to me."

He reached out and tapped on the table.

"It's not that I want to be popular with others, but mainly I want to get your opinions and advice about Kunimi Yuuma from me."

"..." Rio Futaba was speechless.

She could only stare at the black-haired youth in front of her with some astonishment.

She was genuinely surprised at this moment.

It should be noted that Nanxiang Shi, who was standing in front of her, had only known her for a little over ten minutes.

Yet, in just over ten minutes of conversation, the other party was able to accurately guess my thoughts and considerations.

Putting aside other things.

【Incredible World】342967465

Just look at the other party's ability to read people.

Its popularity is, in a sense, quite understandable.

However, compared to Rio Futaba, Toki Nanago sighed.

This is the innocent affection and longing of youth.

I want to express myself, but I don't dare to.

They were afraid that taking that first step would lead to failure, but they never considered that if they couldn't even take that first step, there would be no result at all.

Compared to Rio Futaba, Toki Nanago is like a player with an infinitely high skill level.

Even if he didn't know the plot of "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai," he could still see through the gray-haired girl's thoughts and ideas at a glance.

Because the gray-haired girl in front of me has such simple and easy-to-understand thoughts.

"So."

Nanxiang paused in his speech.

Although he didn't want to be a 'relationship expert' for girls, he was already on this side of the road, so he still asked:

Why did you meet Yuzuru in Italy?

His gaze was steady, clean, and clear, and when he looked at Rio Futaba, the latter was slightly stunned.

Then came silence.

After about a minute of silence.

Rio Futaba then began to recount what had happened.

"I didn't bring a lunchbox when I was in the first year of high school."

"And at noon, the convenience store at Ocha High School was packed with people... At that time, Kunimi bought me a red bean bun."

"and then?"

Nanxiang waited for a while, but there was no follow-up, so he sent an inquiry.

"Nothing."

That's it?

Ah? ? ?

Nango also hopes to hear something other than what's in the original story about Kunimi Yuuma increasing Futaba Rio's affection level.

result...

Is it really just for such a simple reason?

Did Kunimi Yuuma just buy her a red bean bun?

"May I ask how much a red bean paste bun costs?"

130 yen.

"I have 1,300 yen here, Futaba-kun. How about we go get some red bean buns? It's on me."
