My Romance Simulation with Them

University life ended quickly, and after graduation, you and she chose to work at the same high school.

Those of you once hailed as geniuses are now struggling to make ends meet.

You two should both have had bright and promising futures.

But now, you are content simply to watch over each other in ordinary times.

Overall, your married life has been happy, but the lack of support from her parents is a slight regret for both of you.

The line between life and death soon became apparent.

And in that endless loneliness called death, you thought of her.

That girl you'll never be able to let go of for the rest of your life.

Where are you now...? And what are you thinking about?

Life may have its ordinary and its extraordinary aspects, but love knows no such distinction.

You still love her.

With a touch of regret, you closed your eyes, standing on the other side of the wall called Death.

[System Result: You have obtained the special skill 'Teacher LV2'.]

Looking at the system evaluation in front of me.

And a score that barely meets the passing grade.

Nanxiang's situation was not actually unexpected.

Based on this simulation...

Rio Futaba did not go to Germany to study as originally planned.

She stayed by his side because she cared about him too much.

He eventually became a high school physics teacher and lived a quiet and uneventful life.

Nango Toki was also too concerned about Futaba Rio's feelings.

Instead of choosing a more promising and respectable job, he chose to stay by her side and walk with her.

Furthermore, his relationship with Rio Futaba's parents was only so-so, and he could only improve it through their relationship with their children.

According to simulated memory.

I only visit him about once a year.

From various perspectives.

This route can be described as extremely mediocre.

If we were to classify it according to the happy/normal/bad endings of some romance visual novels...

This time, his relationship with Rio Futaba should be considered a normal ending.

It's just too ordinary.

He and Rio Futaba did indeed have happy days.

But that wasn't obvious.

Therefore, it is quite normal for the overall score to be only above the passing mark of 65 points.

Nanxiang propped his face up with his hand.

The only gain from this simulation was probably his newly acquired special skill.

Special skill: Teacher LV2.

The wording makes it clear that this is Nango Toki's simulated profession materialized into the system rewards.

Just close your eyes.

He has the equivalent of a teacher's more than ten years of teaching experience.

"Putting everything else aside, this skill is quite useful."

Nango glanced at Yamada Ryo, who was fast asleep.

After all, they still need to tutor the band after the breakup.

Now we have this special talent.

This was obviously very helpful in finishing the band's remedial work.

"Then... let's put system settlement and scoring aside for now."

Nanxiang sat down cross-legged again, looking at the simulation page, and reached out to rewind the simulation to the previous screen.

"Hmm... this is probably the place."

The finger stopped.

Nanxiang looked at the options in front of him.

What lay before him was the 'far-reaching impact' option that the system had previously suggested.

[First, be proactive! Take a step forward and force her to make friends with others!]

[Second, this woman is such a hassle! I'm not going to say anything more! Yamada Ryo sent me a LINE message! I need to reply!]

Thirdly, she needs you right now. You should stabilize the situation first, and then think of ways to change her timid personality.

[IV. Simulate it yourself!]

Let's disregard the two options for Ms. Yamada's route.

Last time I was in Nanxiang, I chose three options.

Although he managed to get into a relationship with Rio Futaba by taking advantage of her feeling of being 'needed'.

But this ultimately led to the plot becoming mediocre.

So--

What if I choose an option here?

Nanxiang tapped the simulation page.

He has 330 points of excitement left.

There are absolutely no problems with simulating it again.

Since all three options lead to a mediocre ending, choosing the more aggressive option here... shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?

With this in mind.

Nanxiang stretched out his finger.

[Should we restart the simulation at this point? Yes/No?]

Yes!

Without hesitation, I chose yes.

[Current remaining Heart Points: 30]

[Simulation loading.]

[Previous Recap: You were having a pleasant conversation with your single neighbor, so much so that you neglected her feelings. She hugged you and confided her anxieties, which you then soothed with words that sounded like a confession.]

But you know all too well that temporary stability is meaningless.

To help her overcome her trauma, you decide—

This is a far-reaching option.

Scenes from my memories surfaced before my eyes when I was in Nanxiang.

Rio Futaba hugged him in the science preparation room in the early morning.

Tell him about your unbearable experiences...

The image then freezes.

The options that have already been selected are now three grayed out, and you can click on them again at this moment.

I didn't think about it much.

This time, Nango chose option one.

You believe her anxiety stems from her insecurity regarding friendships.

Rather than having her all to yourself, it's better to push her out of your arms and let her meet more people.

[In this way, perhaps she can overcome the shadow of her middle school days, overcome her inferiority complex, talk to more people, and change herself.]

Your idea is wonderful.

But you've overlooked the fact that she's actually a very fragile and insecure girl.

After you've just confessed your feelings to her, you should stay by her side and wait until things have stabilized before making any further plans.

[Even in her, besides the feeling of 'being needed'... there's another emotion you should pay attention to.]

However, your overly radical approach prevented you from clearly understanding these two points—

“?” Nanxiang Shi.

Chapter 201. Want to touch mine? (4100 words)

“?” Nanxiang Shi.

The consequences of the options presented to Nanxiang Shi were somewhat unexpected.

According to his thinking, the reason for the mediocre outcome was that the more proactive first option was not chosen here.

But now it seems that the first option is not correct either.

The simulation, in particular, made him feel uneasy. The implication was that, besides the feeling of being needed, there was another emotion in her that he needed to be aware of.

He's not a fool.

Of course, she knew that this other kind of feeling was Rio Futaba's self-loathing. She hated the selfish self who longed for Nanago to stay by her side, and she hated the self that craved attention from others.
