My Romance Simulation with Them

He looked very impatient.

But Rio Futaba eventually reached out her fair hand and gently patted Toki Nanago's back.

Looking at Nanxiang Shi's dry cough.

A smile she couldn't help but chuckle appeared on her lips.

I wish time could just stand still...

Suddenly, a strange idea popped into her usually bright, science-oriented mind.

This caused a slight blush to appear on her fair complexion.

Lower your palm.

She retreated back to the table in the science preparation room, propping her chin up with her hand.

She secretly watched him.

Just as he was looking at the paperback in his hand.

Ocha High School Science Preparation Room.

Today was as quiet as ever.

Although they've become friends, you clearly understand that the knot in the girl's heart remains untied.

Her self-deprecating remarks that day are like a persistent shadow, not dissipating, but merely lurking in the shadows... hidden where you can't see them.

[If something similar to that day happens again.]

This hidden shadow will once again engulf her seemingly ordinary self.

At that time, she will reappear, vulnerable once more.

You want to figure out the reason for her mental state, because without understanding the reason, it cannot be cured or corrected.

You would occasionally try to subtly probe her.

However, it was clear that such probing was completely ineffective.

To unravel the knot hidden in the girl's heart, you decide—

[1. Let's target the single women living near Futaba's house!]

[Second, let's make our move on Sakuta Azusagawa and Yuuma Kunimi!]

[3. Let's make our move on the arrogant female student in Rio Futaba's class!]

[IV. Simulate it yourself!]

Chapter 196. The Regretful Neighbor's Wife (4000 words!)

“?” Nanxiang Shi.

Four options suddenly appeared in front of me.

My feelings during my time in the south are just like this '?', enough to express everything.

What does it mean to target a single woman? Or to target an arrogant female student?

It's understandable that Nanxiang would target these two types of people.

But what's with that "[hit on Sakuta Azusagawa and Yuuma Kunimi]" part?

If he remembers correctly.

Both of them are men!

Miss Simulator, something's really wrong with you, isn't it?

Nanxiang rubbed his temples, increasingly feeling that something was off about this option.

The main thing is that he can roughly understand what a simulator is.

It was simply a matter of asking around and inquiring about information about Rio Futaba.

Figure out why the other person has masochistic thoughts.

However, the simulator's explanation is quite incorrect.

What about "Let's go after the single women near Futaba's house!"? And "Let's go after Sakuta Azusagawa and Yuuma Kunimi!"...

"That's a ridiculous claim."

Nanxiang shook his head.

But never mind.

Let's take a closer look at these options.

First, by using the process of elimination, he was able to easily eliminate the second option, which was to ask Azusagawa Sakuta and Kunimi Yuuma about Futaba Rio's information.

the reason is simple.

Rio Futaba's psychological problems could not have been caused overnight.

Sakuta Azusagawa and Yuuma Kunimi, who only met Rio Futaba in high school, could not possibly know so much about Rio Futaba's past.

Given Rio Futaba's personality, it's highly unlikely that she would tell Sakuta Azusagawa and Yuuma Kunimi about her past, causing them to worry about her.

This option can be eliminated directly.

Similarly, the three options for Rio Futaba's female classmates can also be eliminated.

After all, neither Azusagawa Sakuta nor Kunimi Yuuma, who were his friends, knew anything about Futaba Rio, let alone the female students in their class.

So--

There's only one option left.

Nanxiang turned his gaze to one of the options.

[1. Let's target the single women living near Futaba's house!]

Although the wording of this option is terrible.

However, as a single woman who lives near Futaba's house, she should know about Rio Futaba's middle school or elementary school days.

"Then there's nothing to hesitate about."

Nanxiang stretched out his hand and selected this option.

Asking Rio Futaba is pointless.

[As for Sakuta Azusagawa, Yuuma Kunimi, and their classmates, they had absolutely no information about Rio Futaba's middle school days.]

[Therefore, you set your sights on the single woman surnamed Ikeda, Futaba's neighbor.]

The contact with Mrs. Ikeda was unexpectedly simple.

For Mrs. Ikeda, who has been single for a long time, your youthful and handsome appearance and vibrant body make it impossible for her to ignore you.

Using your extraordinary charm and looks, you easily built a closer relationship with her during a shopping trip, and you inquired about Futaba's family.

It was like throwing a rock into a calm lake.

The ripples of memory in the simulation began to spread—

Nanxiang closed his eyes and examined the simulated memory scenes.

The location is in a residential street that can be seen everywhere.

After finishing his shopping, he walked down the street with a woman in her thirties, chatting happily.

"Speaking of which, Ikeda-neechan, isn't your neighbor's house just amazing? This is the first time I've ever seen such a modern mansion."

Nango looked at Misa Ikeda beside him and sighed.

And then I heard Nango say "Ikeda-neechan".

Misa Ikeda, who is over thirty years old, couldn't help but smile.

"The mansion next door to my house... I think Nango-kun is referring to the Futaba family, right?"

"The Futaba family?"

"Ah."

Misa Ikeda nodded, her eyes lingering on Nango Toki's handsome face, but her mouth didn't stop: "The Futaba family is a well-known elite family in our area."

"Elite family? What do you mean by that?"

Nanxiang feigned curiosity.

"Mrs. and Mr. Futaba are quite famous in our area. Mr. Futaba is a renowned scholar who frequently participates in academic conferences."

Seeing that Nango was interested and wanted to chat with the handsome young man a little longer, Ikeda Misa didn't hold back her information and continued speaking with a smile:

"As for Mrs. Futaba, she is a very well-known entrepreneur in our area, and she is often busy with business outside."

"Is that so? That means the Futaba family is basically unoccupied most of the time?"

Nanxiang tilted his head.

His moist lips, the clear eyes unique to young people, and the young body hidden beneath his clothes made Misa Ikeda stare in a daze.

The woman, who was over thirty, swallowed hard, then straightened her expression and smiled.

"No, that's not it. It should be Futaba's daughter living alone now... I think her name is Futaba Rio. She's very beautiful, a real beauty. I can't compare to her now."

Misa Ikeda feigned a sigh.

"No way."

Nango smiled gently: "Ikeda-neechan looks quite young, doesn't she? At first, I mistook her for a beautiful older sister who stepped out of a magazine."

"Shi Jun really knows how to talk."

Misa Ikeda smiled, her eyes narrowing.

"But does that girl named Rio Futaba live alone? Isn't that a bit too dangerous?"

“I think so too. In fact, she’s about the same age as you, and... how should I put it... probably in middle school, it seems that the daughter of the Futaba family caused some trouble.”

"Oh?"
