My Romance Simulation with Them

Since Nango joined 'RikoRiko', she has spent much less time drinking and having fun, and recently Nango, who is much younger than her, even explicitly forbade her from drinking.

She also considered rebelling.

But in the face of Nango Toki, who has already gained the support of the store manager, Nishiki Chizuka, and Inoue Takina, and has grown into a complete being.

Her feeble resistance was practically futile.

So she had always wanted to get some dirt on Nanxiang.

At the very least, she must maintain her dignity as an adult in front of him when he was in Nanxiang.

Rio Futaba hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Nango is always first in his grade at our school... How should I put it, he should be a very prestigious person, at least he is very famous among his peers and lower grades, and he is someone that no one dares to mess with."

"Huh? Always first in the grade? That guy?"

Just listening to Rio Futaba's words, Mizuki Nakahara couldn't help but let out a "ha".

She had always thought that Nango Toki, who was posing as a spiritual medium, was at most a playboy at school.

He also felt that with 'RikoRiko' coming to help him from time to time, it was impossible for him to balance his studies.

As a result, when Nango Toki's academic performance was revealed by Futaba Rio, it became clear that...

Mizuki Nakahara couldn't help but rub her temples.

First in the grade.

This word says it all.

Her culinary skills are top-notch, her academic performance is perfect, and on top of that, she has an already striking appearance and charisma...

"Is this guy even human?"

Nakahara Mizuki was getting increasingly frustrated as she tried to find a weakness in Nango's character.

"Give up, Mizuki."

Kurumi, engrossed in playing her handheld game, glanced at Nakahara Mizuki and said gloatingly, "You have no chance against Nango."

"Huh? Hu Tao, aren't you the same?! That guy has explicitly forbidden you from slacking off and playing video games at work! Don't you feel resentful?"

Mizuki Nakahara looked over with a displeased expression.

"Well... I'm certainly somewhat unwilling..."

Touched on a sore spot, Hu Tao's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly pulled her face back behind the handheld console: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"What should we do? Of course we should resist! Of course we should let that brat Nanxiang know how powerful we 'RikoRiko' elders are! We can't let this guy have all the power!"

Mizuki Nakahara gritted her teeth, filled with righteous indignation.

"No...you're saying things like that again. If Nango finds out, then—"

Hu Tao was also somewhat tempted, but at least she still had some sense of reason and whispered a reminder.

But the next second—

"What is it that you can't let me know?"

Nanxiang's voice suddenly came from the side.

"No, we didn't say anything, Lord Nango."

"Yes, we didn't say anything, Lord Nango."

The handheld game console that was being played was put down.

His indignant expression vanished instantly.

Under Rio Futaba's gaze, Mizuki Nakahara and Kurumi sat up straight in a single second, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

The speed at which the two changed their expressions left Rio Futaba speechless.

Using the phrase "turning on someone as easily as turning the pages of a book" to describe these two is perfectly appropriate.

but--

"Ok?"

Nango only glanced at Nakahara Mizuki and Kurumi's appearance.

then.

"Miss Nakahara and Kurumi, your tobacco allowance and gaming allowance will be reduced by 15% this month."

"Huh?! Why?! Why are you cutting our allowance?! And by so much!"

Mizuki Nakahara and Kurumi stared wide-eyed.

"Because I feel like you're talking badly about me."

Nanxiang took a sip of water before answering.

"Huh? 'Think'? Just for that reason...? No way! Against tyranny! You can't treat us like this! We are long-time employees of 'Ricco'! We've sweated for the operation of 'Ricco'!"

Mizuki Nakahara and Kurumi were indignant and completely unable to accept Nango Toki's reasons.

And faced with the two people's passionate attitude.

The strategy adopted by Nanxiang was also very simple:

"If you keep talking like this, your work meals will be canceled too."

"Uh--"

The moment those words were spoken...

It was as if the lifeblood of two people had been touched.

Just moments ago, Kurumi and Mizuki Nakahara were indignant and unwilling to admit defeat, but the next second they resumed their upright sitting posture, even pulling their little hands back with a pitiful expression, too afraid to continue speaking.

They looked so pitiful.

Even Rio Futaba felt a strange sense of sympathy for the two of them.

However, this is in contrast to Rio Futaba's sympathy.

Nanxiang didn't pay much attention to it.

Mizuki Nakahara was drinking, playing on her phone, and flirting with men during work hours.

Walnut plays games during her work hours, and customers have to wait for her to finish the game and save before they can order from 'RicoRico'.

Neither of them was easy to deal with.

Pitying them is being cruel to your own blood pressure.

And it's just a reduction in their allowance for this month.

It's not a big problem.

"During the time I was away, did they say anything strange?"

Nango looked at Rio Futaba.

"Ah...that..."

Rio Futaba glanced subconsciously at Mizuki Nakahara and Kurumi.

He noticed that the two of them were looking at him with pleading eyes.

Her heart softened, and she shook her head: "I didn't say anything."

"Is that so? In that case, Miss Nakahara and Kurumi's allowance will be reduced by another 5%."

As if sensing something, Nango blinked and spoke.

"What--?"

Upon hearing this, Mizuki Nakahara and Kurumi couldn't hold back any longer, and they were just about to stand up.

The next second—

"Ok?"

Nanxiang made a drawn-out "hmm" sound using a nasal tone.

pat.

Under Rio Futaba's gaze, the two sat down again, looking aggrieved.

Their pitiful expressions prompted Rio Futaba to say something in their defense:

"No... Nanxiang, didn't I already say it was nothing?"

"Oh? Then let's lower it by another 5%."

"Wait... Nanxiang—"

Rio Futaba got anxious.

"A further 5% reduction."

"No...Nan—"

Rio Futaba was about to continue speaking.

"Please stop talking, Rio-neechan."

Hu Tao was almost in tears: "If it drops any lower, it'll be gone."

A quarter of it has already been cut off.

If Rio Futaba continues talking, her game allowance for the month will be completely gone.

"Yes, Miss Futaba, please stop talking."

At this moment, Mizuki Nakahara stopped putting on airs and chimed in with a comment.

"..."

Now that the two people asking for help had spoken up, Rio Futaba shut her mouth.

Seeing that she shut up and obeyed, Nanxiang shook his head with a smile, turned around and went into the kitchen to start preparing the work meals.

We will leave when we reach the southern part of the country.

The atmosphere, which had just been suppressed by the other party, instantly became lighter.
