My Romance Simulation with Them

So, is it liking...?

Or is it just longing?

Rio Futaba closed her eyes, and a thought inexplicably popped into her mind—

If it's really just a simple 'longing'...

So what should I do next?

Thinking about this...

She couldn't help but glance at Nanxiang's LINE nickname on her phone screen again.

If it's the other party...

What will he do then?

Chapter 191. [You're Going to Be a Minotaur Warrior!] (4000 words!)

Aspirations?

Or perhaps it's affection or romance?

Rio Futaba, who was sitting in the science preparation room, stood up.

He sat down again.

The white coat he was wearing was wrinkled.

His thin eyebrows were tightly furrowed together.

She tried to think alone.

As a science major, she possesses a unique kind of objective self-examination that others lack.

but--

I can't figure out the answer.

Rio Futaba raised her eyes, which were as yellow as fallen leaves.

I really can't think of an answer.

Regardless of the chaotic emotions in one's heart.

Or perhaps I simply wanted to attract attention.

Rio Futaba sighed softly.

She didn't blame Nango for saying things that confused her.

Moreover, in fact, what the other party said is correct.

As Nango Toki said, the aspirations and feelings of adolescence are easily confused.

But I can no longer figure out the situation on my own...

So...would it be better to talk to someone else?

Rio Futaba hesitated before taking out her phone.

She originally intended to send a message to her friend Sakuta Azusagawa to ask him for advice.

But then I thought about it again.

That carefree guy seems to have recently become infatuated with a senior female student.

In addition, he's usually a bit of a slacker...

"They can't be relied on..."

Rio Futaba has a bit of a headache.

Her delicate, white fingers slid across the phone screen.

It seems that they intend to find the name of someone their own age, someone they can talk to, from that already small list of contacts.

Obviously.

No matter how many times you swipe with your finger.

The number of contacts in the contact list will not increase.

Therefore, she eventually focused her attention on a person's name.

"Is this person...trustworthy?"

Rio Futaba stared at her phone screen.

The other person's name was neatly and clearly marked on it—Yamada Ryo.

"Is this person...trustworthy?"

Rio Futaba looked at the name on her phone screen, a little hesitant.

Her acquaintance with Yamada Ryo was purely accidental.

I met him, who also came from a wealthy family, simply because of my parents, and we met twice.

If I had to say, they wouldn't even be considered friends.

but...

"It should work."

There were no other people to negotiate with.

And Yamada Ryo is this person...

Well, she left a pretty good impression on Rio Futaba.

She possesses a calm and aloof demeanor, giving off an impression of composure and reliability...

He didn't say much, but his words were concise.

She was a woman of few words, yet she always exuded a sense of wisdom and elegance.

Having thought it through, Rio Futaba no longer hesitated, stretched out her finger, and dialed the number.

"Hello? Is this Yamada?"

"I am Rio Futaba."

"Yes, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner. You can choose the location, and then send me the address via email."

"Let's talk about it when we meet."

After a brief exchange, Rio Futaba hung up the phone and took off her white coat.

After folding and putting it away, she locked the science preparation room and walked out.

They walked outwards.

There are classmates around who know me.

But no one greeted him.

Living at Ocha High School, Rio Futaba feels like she's invisible... a completely invisible person...

Not needed by anyone.

Similarly, it goes unnoticed by others.

......

"Oops."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Nanxiang Shi, who had just sat down, thought of something and let out a slightly regretful sound.

He did have some regrets.

I had clearly gone too far with my lecturing, and I forgot to ask him what he most wanted to know.

That is-

"The matter of puberty syndrome..."

Nanxiang lightly tapped the table with his finger.

Puberty syndrome.

This is something he forgot to ask Rio Futaba about.

The so-called "adolescent syndrome" is an inexplicable phenomenon that only occurs in adolescents during puberty, as depicted in the manga "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai".

According to the original animation, its presentation methods are varied.

For example, a person may become two separate individuals due to a split personality.

For example, someone might be struggling with adolescent issues and want to correct the mistakes they've made, so they might repeat the same day indefinitely.

This sounds like something out of the dark.

But it is indeed a situation that occurred in the animation.

"Although I don't believe that something as completely unscientific as 'puberty syndrome' exists in this world..."

Nanxiang muttered to himself and glanced at the simulator page floating next to him.

But... how should I put it?

Even something as obviously unscientific as the simulator girl actually exists.

So isn't it perfectly normal for 'adolescent syndrome' to exist?

This information is very important, since Goto Ichiri and the others are girls in the sensitive period of puberty, and there is no guarantee that they will trigger the conditions for 'puberty syndrome'.

Therefore, Nango Toki desperately wanted to know whether such a phenomenon actually existed in the world.

This was also an important reason why Nanxiang kept the appointment.

So--

Should we go back and ask?
