My Romance Simulation with Them

Nishiki Chizuka actually smiled and waved her hand: "Don't thank me, it was all Toki-kun's idea."

"Huh...? Nanxiang?"

I heard this unexpected name here.

Rio Futaba was stunned.

"That's right. It's Toki-kun."

Chizuka Nishiki chuckled, "Although Toki asked me to keep it a secret, I think I should tell Rio-neechan about this."

"...Keep it a secret...?"

"He probably didn't want you to take it too seriously, so he specifically told me to smooth things over for you today."

The blonde-haired girl exclaimed with admiration, "He truly is my Shi-kun! He's so gentle! I like him even more now!"

"...Is that so...?"

Compared to Chizuka Nishiki's lament.

Rio Futaba recalled the various illogical actions that Nango had taken earlier that day.

Suddenly, he invited her and asked her to come to 'RicoLico'.

Then, Chizuka Nishiki came to the rescue.

Given her personality, she would then take the initiative to apologize to Nishiki Chizuka...

Could all of this have been anticipated by Nanxiang?

They actually considered this step?

Is this boy from Nanxiang really an alien?

Rio Futaba secretly grumbled to herself.

In every sense, I was completely under Nanxiang's thumb.

If it weren't for Chizuka Nishiki telling her about this...

She is still completely unaware of it.

and...

It seems to be from when I first met Nango until now.

The other person has always been the one helping me.

But I didn't give anything back to the other party.

Even today's events were all planned out silently by Nanxiang Shi behind the scenes...

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath: "Thank you, Miss Jinmu. I feel much better after talking with you."

"If you really want to thank me, how about Rio comes work at our 'RikoRiko' for the next week?"

The easygoing Chizuka Nishiki did not refuse Rio Futaba's thanks.

She simply smiled and then revealed her true request.

"...I'll consider it."

The atmosphere at Riko Riko's workplace is indeed very good, whether it's Nishiki Chizuka or Inoue Takina.

Rio Futaba could sense a maturity and composure that set her apart from her peers.

In addition, she had nothing to do at home alone at night.

Perhaps, as Nishiki Chizuka said, it's quite good for her to take time out to work and broaden her circle of friends.

Similarly, during this period... improve your mental state, accept yourself... and stop hating yourself.

"So, what does Rio plan to do next?"

Chizuki Kaneki asked with some curiosity.

"What's next...?"

Rio Futaba fell into deep thought, a glint of light flashing in her golden eyes hidden behind her glasses.

"I don't really have any specific, grand goals, anyway..."

She stood up, her eyes fixed on the 'Licori' coffee shop, as if she were looking at someone within the shop:

"I want to be friends with Nanxiang first."

Under the soft lights of the night, 'RicoRico'.

Beneath the girl's loose, long hair lay a face as beautiful as a flower.

At this moment, Chizuka Nishiki also turned her gaze to 'Riko Riko' and sighed softly.

My future husband's charm is off the charts... I guess I've fooled another one.

What should she do now?

I'm in a real hurry.

Chapter 207. The Captive of Gourmet Food (4000 words!)

It wasn't until Inoue Takina finally tallied the total revenue for the day that she realized this.

Rio Futaba only then realized how much money 'Ricori' Cafe had made (ripped off) during its short time of operation.

More than a million yen!

Those stacked 10,000 yen Japanese banknotes.

Even Rio Futaba couldn't take her eyes off it.

Her family is well-off, and her monthly living expenses are much higher than those of ordinary high school students.

One million yen is not a huge sum for Rio Futaba.

But frankly, that's just the number in your bank account.

When a neat stack of cash is placed in front of her, it is still quite impactful for a student her age.

"In Tokyo... are restaurants really that profitable now?"

Rio Futaba leaned closer and couldn't help but speak softly.

She vividly remembered how deserted and desolate 'Ricoric' was when she first arrived.

Unexpectedly, it was mealtime.

It was as if they had been gathered together by some unseen magic.

Customers just flocked to the store, and there was no way to stop them.

Is the restaurant industry really that profitable now?

It's practically ripping off customers.

Rio Futaba looked on with a face full of surprise.

"That's probably the charm of the guy from Nanxiang."

Mizuki Nakahara pulled a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket.

But seeing so many minors around...

She hesitated for a moment before putting it back, then winked at Rio Futaba: "As long as Nango is in charge of our shop, we don't even need to think about the daily revenue. It's practically a windfall, hehe... Speaking of which, Miss Futaba was also lured here by him, right? How's Nango doing at school?"

"Why...?"

Rio Futaba was caught off guard when the topic suddenly turned to her: "Nango?"

"Yes. You and Nango must be on good terms, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have come to 'RicoRico'. How long have you known him?"

Mizuki Nakahara looked like a carefree, playful person, not at all like an adult.

But looking at Rio Futaba up and down, she was still somewhat surprised.

The woman before me, Rio Futaba, is a beautiful girl whose looks and temperament are in no way inferior to Chizuka Nishiki or Takina Inoue.

And under her gaze.

"No... well... Nango and I... have only known each other for less than two days."

Rio Futaba blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this answer, Nakahara Mizuki gasped.

Two days?

In just two days, Nanago was able to bring a beautiful girl like Rio Futaba into their 'Rikorik' guild and even have her help with work?

This...even a rocket wouldn't go this fast, right?

"This guy... is quite something in every sense of the word."

Mizuki Nakahara muttered to herself with envy.

If only she had the same ability to communicate with the opposite sex as Nanxiang.

Still worried about not finding a good man?

But... never mind!

Mizuki Nakahara temporarily set that topic aside and brought up the question that concerned her most:

"Let's get back to the topic. How is Nanxiang doing at your school?"

"Why...?"

"Oh, just tell me, I've been feeling suffocated by that guy lately. He's even forced me to give up drinking."

As she spoke to Rio Futaba, she waved her little fist, looking like she was gritting her teeth:

"That guy has been too arrogant lately, so I wanted to find his weakness, give him a good beating, and deflate his arrogance."

Just as she said.
