My Romance Simulation with Them

At this moment, Nango Ichiri, who was usually not good with words, suddenly suggested playing a confession game while still in high spirits.

[The person he confessed to was you, but the other members of the band were also confessing.]

You didn't want to agree to her request, but you couldn't resist your wife's pleas and finally nodded in agreement.

In the confession game, the band members confessed their feelings to you one by one. When they talked about liking you, their faces showed unconcealed disappointment and regret.

You didn't run away; you listened attentively to their soft, tender whispers.

Do they feel regret about ending the band?

Perhaps there will still be some regrets.

That day, after the band finished their performance, they got completely drunk, but when you went to see them again the next day, you found they were already gone.

They have never wanted to cause you any trouble, not even in the past.

Days passed, and even after your marriage to Nanxiang Yili, she continued her musical activities with the band members who had ended their careers; they had achieved their initial dream.

Finally, one day later, Nanxiang Yili became pregnant, and you all had to start thinking about what would happen after having a child.

[Nanxiang Yili has considered retiring. She feels happy enough now; the band life is too intense and exhausting for her.]

This suggestion was also agreed upon by Nijika Ijichi, as the band's activities over the years had left the other members feeling somewhat fatigued.

[Today, End of the Band is undoubtedly the best rock band in the country.]

Their dreams have reached a harbor, and they have decided to rest here.

In November of the same year, after their final performance at the Tokyo Dome, they tearfully announced their retirement to the audience. This was difficult for many fans to accept, and the retirement performance was recorded in the Tokyo Dome annals.

[That same month, merchandise for the band End of Days sold out nationwide, and many fans organized marches to commemorate the band.]

[In January of the following year, a girl was born in Nanxiang Village, and you named her Nanxiang Naizhu.]

[Nango Nozomi is very healthy and inherited your black hair, but she looks more like Nango Ichiri. She's very cute, but a little shy. After she was born, the three aunts who had left the band often came to see her.]

[Those of them, who are still single, cherish Nango Nozomu as their own daughter.]

[Yamada Ryo often taught her to play bass, Ijichi Niika corrected her rhythm, and Kita Ikuyo frequently taught her to sing.]

Their meticulous guidance allowed Nango Nozomu's musical talent to emerge even in her childhood.

"Nai-zhu, come and learn bass with me."

Even at over twenty-nine, Yamada Ryo's face remained mature and refined. Her eyes exuded an indescribable languor and elegance. Holding her bass guitar horizontally, she displayed a carefree demeanor and casually patted the sofa next to her.

Nango Naitake, dressed in a little red dress and leather shoes, with short hair, red lips and white teeth, was incredibly cute.

Hearing Yamada Ryo's words, she hesitated for a while before speaking: "But... Ryo's mother, Nijika's mother said that Nozomi shouldn't become a bassist when she grows up, saying that bassists like to lie to children."

"Doesn't Naitake believe me?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Nango Notake very seriously and asked sincerely, "Am I that kind of person?"

"I don't believe it. My mother-in-law used to trick me out of my New Year's money to buy new music equipment."

Nango Nobuko placed her finger to her cherry-pink lips and spoke very seriously.

"..." Yamada Ryo.

"The older they get, the less adorable they become."

Yamada Ryo, with his delicate and elegant profile propped up, watched as Nanago Nozomi ran to Iji Chi Niji Natsu's side with a patter of his little legs, and could only put down his bass.

"This is what you call reaping what you sow. Are there really people who would even cheat children out of their New Year's money?"

Ichi Niji Natsu didn't even bother to look at her own bassist, and walked over with Nango Notake.

She no longer wears her hair in a side ponytail.

After inheriting the 'Starry Sky' from Ijichi Seika, she replaced it with a mature single ponytail tied behind her head.

At this moment, with her fair neck exposed and dressed in casual clothes, she possessed a charm far surpassing that of her high school days.

"I really envy Nijika-chan, she's still so popular with kids."

Kita Ikuyo sat beside her, smiling as she spoke.

Her beautiful red hair had grown long, and her meticulously cared-for skin showed not a single wrinkle; she still looked as vibrant as ever.

As she spoke, she looked behind Ichiji Nijika, and when she didn't see the person she wanted to see, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"What about Ichiri-chan and him?"

"Is Ichiri-chan going to the restroom? He... will probably be back in a while. He said he has some work to finish."

"Still as serious as ever, Ah-Shi."

The group sat down and began chatting, while looking out the window at the same time.

Through the cross-shaped window frame, you can see the enormous Tokyo Dome.

That was the place where they once pursued their dreams.

At that time, Nijika Ijichi, Ryo Yamada, and Ikuyo Kita all dreamed of performing at the Tokyo Dome.

That was their dream.

Now, all my dreams have come true.

The atmosphere inside the store was lively, with mature women teasing the adorable Nango Nobutake from time to time.

Everything is fine.

after awhile.

A welcoming bell rang.

"Here! Here! Iri! And Shi! Come and sit down, we're all about to start eating."

"If you're this slow next time, you'll have to pay the bill."

A half-joking remark was made, teasing the two people who had just entered the room.

Inside the warm, festively decorated store, cheerful conversations filled the air once again.

Everything seemed so beautiful.

You are very fortunate, and you have every reason to believe that this dream of happiness will continue.

Chapter 43. 'Unrequited Love' Yamada Ryo IF Route Card

Happiness envelops you and her, and your time together continues to pass in this blissful embrace.

[Nango Notake grew up quickly, inheriting your excellent learning ability and the musical talent of the other band members. She was admitted to Tokyo University of the Arts almost effortlessly.]

[The band members, along with you and your spouse, are all happy and gratified by her achievements.]

After graduation, Nango Nozomi, introduced by the band members, began to specialize in piano, wanting to take a completely different path from you.

[Nango Noritake, who inherited your musical talent, shocked the entire Japanese music world upon the release of her piano repertoire, becoming one of the most popular young pianists of her time.]

You have seen everything and are happy for her.

Gradually, she no longer needed to follow in your shadows; instead, she stepped into the forefront, supporting you as you moved forward.

You and Nanxiang Yili have both grown old and are gradually needing the help of others.

[Nijika Ichi, Ryo Yamada, and Ikuyo Kita are your neighbors. Your houses are all in the same area, which makes it easier for Nozomi Nanago to take care of you and the other band members.]

Before, you were always the ones holding her tiny hand as you walked forward; now, she's pulling you along towards the future.

Time passes silently, and no one can escape its changes.

You are in good physical condition and have no serious illnesses. It's simply that you're getting older, and naturally, your health is gradually being taken away by the passing years.

As you were about to pass away, it was Nanxiang Yili who held your hand, whispered in your ear, and gently sang a song by the Ending Band that only you knew. Before being taken away by time, you were still surrounded by the members of the Ending Band.

They made death less frightening.

After your passing, Nango Ichiri, the members of the End Band, and your daughter were deeply saddened, but they continued to support each other and live on with strength.

After your passing, they commemorated you in various ways. In their spare time, looking at the thick stacks of work documents you left behind, they would exchange glances, then smile knowingly and begin to tell you your stories.

In my memory, you were always so serious, as if nothing could stump you.

[The you I remember, still the same youthful you.]

[Simulation ended.]

Escape from the simulation.

Nanxiang let out a long breath.

For some reason, even though the ending was excellent enough, it left him with a sense of melancholy.

It's a wonderful feeling, but it can still be described in words.

You've finished reading a good book.

I've enjoyed a nice piece of music.

I finally finished watching the anime series I'd always wanted to watch...

After everything is over, there will be a momentary sense of satisfaction followed by a long-lasting, profound sense of emptiness.

This melancholy, bordering on sadness, is hard to shake off.

However, birth, aging, illness, and death are all part of the natural human experience.

At least this time, his death wasn't due to overwork, a car accident, or a sudden illness.

He had no regrets until his death.

Nanxiang shook his head and turned to look at the simulator's subsequent settlement.

[System Score: 92 points.]

[System Evaluation: A Lifetime of Love, Like a Sudden Rain. Your journey to meeting and getting to know each other was very long. In your youth, you focused on your work to achieve your shared dreams, sometimes neglecting her feelings. However, this also gave her the opportunity to face setbacks and difficulties on her own.]

[During this process, she gradually became attracted to you, and you were similarly drawn to her desire to change herself. Your relationship blossomed naturally. For you, she overcame her social anxiety disorder, which had long plagued her. You supported each other as you walked together, finally reaching the depths of your dreams.]

This time, you have children, partners who cherish each other, and your later years are very happy. Even if she loses you, she can support others to move forward. When you look back at the end of your life, you may find happiness reflected in every little detail.

Why are the reviews so high this time?
