It's one thing to have Inoue Takina, but to actually dare to have Ms. Nishiki act as her strategist...

You really have wild ideas!

[I don't know what they instilled in me by Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue.]

In short, encouraged by Chizuka Nishiki, Rio Futaba has become increasingly bold and proactive in her behavior towards you.

She will observe your expression when you are walking alone together, and then take your hand.

[They will also proactively lay you down on the tatami mats in the shop's lounge when you want to rest and gently massage you.]

In the most extreme cases, she might even kiss you while you're asleep in the 'Ricoric' lounge.

“...?” Nanxiang Shi.

Let me explain in detail what a kiss like 'I'll give you' actually means.

Like a good morning kiss?

Nanxiang became interested.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't know what kind of bewitching spell Nishiki Chizuki had cast.

Even the naturally aloof, introverted, and always expressionless Rio Futaba was willing to take the initiative to kiss him.

The key is--

"We've come this far... Even if Futaba-san is slow on the uptake, she should be able to tell that this feeling isn't just 'friendship,' right?"

It seems to be to verify what Nango was thinking.

The simulated text continued to evolve without pause.

She had already vaguely sensed that this growing intimacy had long since transcended the realm of 'friendship'.

Even so, she secretly enjoys taking your relationship to the next level.

You realized this, and you decided—

[I. The one-year period has ended! The affection level is maxed out! It's time to confess!]

[Second, observe how things develop. Make sure to exploit the weakness of this carnivorous, bespectacled girl, and then force her to agree to your confession!]

[Thirdly, Miss Nishiki has worried herself sick over me; I can't betray her! I decisively confessed my feelings to Nishiki Chizuka!]

[IV. Simulate it yourself!]

The options suddenly popped up in front of me.

It also drew Nanxiang's attention.

Aside from personally simulating it, there are still three options.

First, by using the process of elimination, Nanxiang Shi can easily eliminate the three options.

This three-option option is exactly the same as the previous "guaranteed Yamada Ryo" option, all of which suggest that as long as you choose it, the final path will lead to the guaranteed ending.

That leaves only options one and two.

The meanings expressed by these two options are quite simple.

One option is for him to confess his feelings immediately after realizing Rio Futaba's current feelings.

The second option is to wait and see how things develop, and try to confess to Rio Futaba with a higher success rate...

Both options have their own merits.

But from the perspective of the Southern Regions...

"The second option should be a more reliable way to win."

Nanxiang's finger swept across the two options.

As the protagonist in the simulation, he is able to sense it.

Although Rio Futaba has now let go of her resentment and begun to actively develop her relationship with him...

But in reality, there are still things that the other person cares about.

Those were her close friends, Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue, who had always been there to help and support her.

And it's not hard to see this through simulation.

Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue's feelings for Nango Toki remained unchanged.

As their closest friends, Rio Futaba couldn't possibly be unaware of Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue's feelings for him.

That's why the simulation includes the line, "She's also secretly enjoying taking your relationship to the next level."

This "secretly" likely indicates that Rio Futaba still harbors some hesitation.

She was worried that confessing her feelings would ruin her relationships with Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue.

if it is like this.

Option 1: Confess your feelings immediately.

There is a high probability that Rio Futaba will reject her because she wants to take care of the feelings of Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue.

This girl with glasses is someone who cares about her friends' feelings.

"Then the second option is undoubtedly better."

Nanxiang did not hesitate any longer and chose option two.

[You've noticed Rio Futaba's feelings for you, and you also know that the reason she hasn't confessed is because this bespectacled girl cares deeply about the feelings of Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue.]

You decide to wait and see, and once you've caught the woman in a compromising situation, you force her to confess her feelings!

This opportunity isn't hard to come by.

During the simulation, memories began to surge and resurface.

The location remains 'RicoRico'.

However, this time the location was not at the front desk, but in the backstage lounge.

After a busy morning, Nanxiang greeted everyone and headed to the backstage dressing room.

Enter it.

He yawned.

Nanxiang then slumped onto the table.

It was probably because I was too tired.

Soon, soft snoring could be heard in the staff break room.

And following the snoring, they entered the lounge.

She was a petite and adorable figure, tiptoeing around.

"Nanxiang...Nanxiang?"

I called out softly twice.

There was no response.

Rio Futaba breathed a sigh of relief, her heart pounding with tension.

She knows it.

Nanxiang has always had very good sleep quality.

Once someone falls asleep, it's very difficult for them to wake up unless it's at a specific time.

This also gave her the opportunity to do something bad.

Approach gently.

Looking at Nanxiang, who had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

A look of affection welled up in Rio Futaba's eyes.

This person is very serious and unwilling to relax, both at work and in life.

"No wonder I'm so tired."

She bent down and gently brushed aside the stray hairs around Nanxiangshi's ears.

To avoid her long hair falling on Nanxiang's face and waking him up, she deliberately used her hand to lift the hair by her ears.

Then she lowered her head, closed her eyes, and gently touched the young man's cheek with her cherry-pink lips.

Available soon.

Rio Futaba, with her eyes closed, sensed something was wrong.

Because she can sense it.

The sensation coming from the lips.

It doesn't seem to be a sensation on the cheek.

Instead, it is more moist and soft...

Rio Futaba's golden eyes widened slightly in surprise.

It was under her gaze that we met.

Nango, who had opened his eyes at some point, had his lips pressed against hers, which were pink and close together.

Looking at her face, which was full of panic.

The young man in front of him smiled.

Chapter 212. Three People Together, Four People's Fate? (4000 words!)

Your fishing scheme has succeeded.

[Having grown bolder, Rio Futaba has, unsurprisingly, handed you her weakness without warning.]

Faced with your forceful questioning, Rio Futaba, cornered, was at a loss and didn't know how to answer.

"I never expected Rio to do something like this in secret."
