My Romance Simulation with Them

That leaves the third option.

The third option.

From the current perspective, this is the most normal option.

After meeting Rio Futaba today, Toki Nanago was also able to basically sense it.

Hidden beneath the other person's refined and handsome face was an extremely fragile spirit and an uneasy heart.

At this point, as a second-best option, we should observe her situation and respond accordingly to her current mental state.

This should be the most correct choice.

"But... this weird simulator is the one that's giving out the options."

Nanxiang looked at the pale blue page.

To be fair, this isn't the first time he's chosen this safe option.

It can be correct, but it can also be wrong.

Being cautious doesn't always mean being right, and being radical isn't always wrong.

If even the first option is wrong right now.

There's no need to discuss what happened next.

So...

Focus on the first and third options.

Nanxiang fell into deep thought.

What should he choose?

Chapter 192. No woman he sets his sights on can escape (4000 words!)

"I guess I'll choose the three options after all."

After much deliberation, Nanxiang finally decided to choose the three options.

It's safe enough.

But this is only the beginning of the simulation.

The most important thing to do is to observe the situation first and figure out why the other person's mental state is unstable.

And it is precisely because the simulation has just begun.

Even if the first option in this simulation is wrong, a safer choice shouldn't have too much impact on subsequent simulations.

Conversely, consider the option: "You're destined to be a Minotaur Warrior."

This option is far too radical from any perspective.

Taking advantage of the situation, he pursues Rio Futaba and demands that she date him.

This seems far too hasty, and if the wrong choice is made, it could have a fatal impact on the subsequent development of the simulation.

Taking this into consideration.

When I was in Nanxiang, I chose the three safest options.

Surely choosing such a safe option wouldn't lead to a terrible ending in the simulation?

Nanxiang continued looking down.

You don't care whether Rio Futaba is mistaking her longing for love; you're more concerned about the reasons behind her unstable mental state.

To be on the safe side, you decide to temporarily step back and observe quietly, hoping to figure out why she is so uneasy.

Your idea is clearly good, but a more prudent approach is more reasonable.

[But what you didn't realize was that aside from that one meeting, you and Rio Futaba had no other relationship, and she was naturally withdrawn and rarely interacted with others.]

Although you can stay behind the scenes and observe quietly, you cannot truly delve into her heart.

All you can see is her going in and out of the science preparation room alone every day. Occasionally she can talk to Sakuta Azusagawa, but that's all she ever does.

She lives alone, and when she occasionally meets others, it's just a brief greeting from you.

You can't figure out why she's so anxious.

"broken."

When Nanxiang saw this line of text, he clearly sensed that something was wrong.

Unlike the previous simulation objects.

He certainly didn't think things through.

Rio Futaba is a solitary person who rarely opens up to others about her inner thoughts.

Simply retreating behind the scenes is not enough to clearly grasp her inner thoughts.

Her life was monotonous; she frequented only the science preparation room, which was rather dull and uninteresting.

You try to strike up a conversation with her, but lacking experience in communicating with others, she doesn't know how to respond. All she can do is pour you a cup of coffee, and that's it.

But you can sense that her mental state is becoming increasingly unstable and anxious.

But you still haven't figured out the reason or the underlying cause.

Gradually, you lost interest in whether 'puberty syndrome' actually existed and gave up observing her unchanging behavior.

You gave up on her, the one who always wore a white dress and wandered alone through the science preparation room.

Throughout this process, Yamada Ryo has been communicating with you.

You are gradually drawn to this woman with short, dark blue hair and a cold expression.

[In the second semester of your second year of high school, after Yamada Ryo confessed her feelings on a rainy night, you and she fell in love.]

[Yamada Ryo has become your girlfriend.]

As time flows by, you gradually forget the girl who struggled with her emotions.

[Until one day, you suddenly overhear people talking about Rio Futaba.]

[Perhaps due to family reasons, or perhaps due to her own, she left Ocha High School to study in Germany.]

Looking back on this girl who only occupied a small page in the chapters of your youth, you feel only a few emotions.

The path between you and her is growing ever wider.

You held Yamada Ryo's hand tightly and walked towards the future.

[Simulation ended.]

[System Score: 5 points.]

[System Evaluation: She has drifted further and further away from you; you have never truly touched her heart.]

Your meeting with her was initiated by her; teenage girls often harbor countless sorrows and anxieties.

If we seize this opportunity, we might be able to get even closer.

Ultimately, however, your contact ended there; you never took a step forward, and she never took the initiative to close the distance between you.

Your desire for stability has blinded you to the restless and anxious feelings within the young girl.

One afternoon during your senior year of high school, you, who had gradually lost interest in her, heard the news that she had gone to study in Germany.

Looking at the long, narrow contrails against the backdrop of the azure sky.

You are filled with mixed emotions.

You and she will never cross paths again; only the feelings of your adolescence remain in your heart.

Her future and yours are like parallel lines on a contrail; they will never intersect.

Looking back now, perhaps if we had chosen a more radical path... everything would have been different?

[System Summary: You have gained some knowledge of quantum mechanics.]

"......" Nanxiang time.

Looking at the summary page that appeared in front of him, Nanxiang Shi really didn't expect it.

"That's it? It really was just a choice of one option?"

When Nanxiang saw the ending that popped up, he felt inexplicably suffocated.

How could he not feel suffocated?

He basically didn't understand anything, or even grasp anything at all.

And that's the end of it.

And... Ms. Yamada... why are you doing this again...?

Looking at Ms. Yamada appearing in the simulation, Nango's expression was numb.

Well... he's almost gotten used to it.

Ms. Yamada can truly be described as omnipresent.

but--

"...Indeed, I was inconsiderate."

Nanxiang shook his head.

When choosing the three options, he only knew a partial understanding of Rio Futaba's personality through the anime, rather than a complete understanding of Rio Futaba as a person.

He hadn't expected it either.

Even if the simulated version of myself tries to strike up a conversation with her.

She had absolutely no idea how to reply.

In terms of physics, the other party can be considered a rare genius.

In terms of communication, she is simply a social idiot.

The first option is indeed radical, while the third option is indeed safe.
