My Romance Simulation with Them

Looking at the high score of 92, Nanxiang was a little surprised, but after thinking about it a little more, he roughly understood why he was able to get such a high score this time.

This time, his departure left no regrets.

Even if Goto Ichiri, whose personality has improved, were to lose him, she would still be able to live on strongly.

This is the complete opposite of the previous timeline where Goto Ichiri was unable to overcome her grief and became depressed after losing herself, only to be followed by him a year later.

Similarly, with the arrival of Nango no Take, Nango no Take also became one of the spiritual pillars of Goto Ichiri.

She may feel lonely occasionally, but she will never feel as alone as before.

Therefore, considering the above points, it is quite normal for this time to receive a high score.

It's a bit of a shame that I didn't get to experience firsthand what it felt like to have a baby with Goto Ichiri this time.

pat.

"Nango Toki, you've married Goto Ichiri three times in the simulation. As a model young man of the new era, can't you be a little more responsible and stop worrying about things that aren't even worth your time?"

Nanxiang patted his face, which had a charm rating of 9, and gave himself a stern warning.

"Boys who indulge in desires are the most pathetic."

Clearing his mind of all distractions, Nanxiang continued to examine the simulator's subsequent settlement details.

[You achieved a 90-point happy ending, for which you are rewarded with an additional 1000 points of affection and have unlocked the basic item shop.]

[System settlement: You have obtained 'Three Lifetimes of Love, Unrequited Love. Yamada Ryo IF Route Card', and you have obtained 'Nango Ichiri's Happy Cooking Skills'.]

You have gained the Culinary Skills (Happiness) LV4 talent.

"Huh? Three lifetimes of love? Yamada Ryo character route card?"

What first attracted Nango's attention was the introduction to Yamada Ryo's character card mentioned earlier.

But what puzzled him was how Ms. Yamada still managed to generate basic items every time she was just a supporting character in all three playthroughs?

He couldn't help but glance at the system introduction.

[Three lifetimes of love, unrequited love, Yamada Ryo IF route card:]

[Four lifetimes of love, three lifetimes of unrequited love, yet she never felt it was unfair or lamented. For her, simply being by your side, watching over you, was the best ending. Even if that ending ultimately led only to regret.]

I can't explain why I love you, but I know you're the reason I can't love anyone else. When she, so aloof and elegant, turns around, will you stop for her this time?

Chapter 44. Like a maggot, twisting and turning.

Ms. Yamada has it tough.

Looking at the Yamada Ryo route card, which was the first time the strategy option appeared, Nango Toki couldn't help but sigh.

Every time, I love someone for the rest of my life, but every time I can't have them.

Aside from making an appearance during the first playthrough when I scored 0 points, I felt a deep sense of regret during the other playthroughs.

Could it be that Ms. Yamada has been a runner-up every time, to the point that she can no longer even stand watching the simulator?

Nanxiang shook his head.

Thinking about it all this time is pointless.

He looked away from Yamada Ryo's IF route card.

I just finished a simulation, and the memories it contained can be quite a mental burden.

Let's wait until we've fully digested the memories from the previous simulation before considering Ms. Yamada's simulation.

He looked at the rewards after the system settlement, which were of more interest to him.

"The blissful culinary skills of Nanxiang Yili?"

He muttered to himself in the south.

The "Nango Ichiri" mentioned here probably refers to Goto Ichiri, who changed her surname to "Nango" after marrying him.

But the art of cooking for happiness...?

Nanxiang pondered for a moment and reached out to open his personal panel.

'Dating Simulator'

'Bound User: Nanxiang Shi'

‘容貌：9，运动：6，学力：8，特长：厨艺(幸福)LV4、学习lv4、音乐LV2、自律LV1’

Simulator Review: A promising young man, highly sought after by women of all ages, including some men with unusually high sexual appetites.

The LV4 bonus has been increased.

Originally, in Nanxiang, only studying was his LV4 specialty, but now he suddenly has an additional skill: 'Cooking LV4'.

But why is there a "happiness" note after "cooking skills"?

After closing his personal panel, Nango focused his attention on the entry for "Nango Ichiri's Happy Cooking Skills".

The following is a system explanation.

【The Joyful Culinary Skills of Nanxiang No. 1 Village:】

A simple bowl of rice, a bowl of plain miso soup, a thick omelet that's not too difficult to make, and a perfectly pan-fried fish—this is the unique taste of her family's cooking.

Learning for someone, practicing for someone, cooking with someone in mind—this is an immense source of happiness. And the love in your heart can make even the taste of your cooking blissful. You may have long forgotten the most delicious and blissful meals you ate in your carefree youth.

The food you cook will remind people of the happiest moments of their lives.

"Goodness."

Nango took out his guitar, "Life's Regrets," from the guitar case beside him and glanced at the entry for "Nango Ichiri's Happy Cooking Skills."

Is it really that strange to be both happy and depressed at the same time?

Nanxiang always felt that this dating simulator would lead him down a path of no return.

"Why not give it a try?"

Nanxiang stood up and glanced into the small refrigerator he had bought.

To ensure his study efficiency, he has been eating ready-made lunch boxes from convenience stores for a long time, which he can heat up in the microwave and eat directly.

But after seeing the simulator's description that "eating convenience store food for a long time will lead to poor health," I was disappointed.

He finally made the conscious effort to spend money to buy some vegetables, and stored the meat in his small refrigerator.

Although he is indeed in dire financial straits right now, he still has a body to rely on, and he can't afford to ruin it just for studying.

When Nanxiang glanced at the refrigerator, he found that there was still a fair amount of food inside.

At least I can easily make a bento box to take to school tomorrow morning.

"Sigh, once I master guitar skills and earn my first money through online video streaming, I shouldn't be so strapped for cash anymore."

After closing the refrigerator door, Nanxiang thought of a way to make money that he had been pondering for a while.

In the simulation, he also earned his first pot of gold by making clicks on the band's online videos.

Conversely, in real life, he should be able to do the same.

But before that—

"This time, we still need to find someone to taste what we've made."

The memory of the last time the guitar performance of "Life's Regrets" made Nanxiang Shi feel depressed for several days is still vivid in his mind.

Although this is supposed to be a happy meal, there's no guarantee that some strange or unexpected things might happen.

After all, the existence of this dating simulator is quite bizarre.

So who should be chosen as the first unlucky one?

Nanxiang didn't have many friends at school. He always adhered to the principle of self-discipline in his studies and rarely took the initiative to contact others.

After a moment's thought, he quickly finalized his choice.

He casually turned on his phone, then opened LINE, and immediately found a woman with a guitar avatar and the nickname ID 'probably dead'.

Tokyo's most handsome boy: Goto-kun, are you there?

I put down my phone and waited for about a minute before a reply came through.

He's probably dead (Ichiri Goto): Huh? Um, Nango-senpai... is there something you need?

Tokyo's Number One Handsome Boy: Well, I recently started cooking at home. Eating convenience store food all the time isn't very healthy. Since it's my first time cooking, I might not have gotten the proportions right and made a bit too much. Are you free tomorrow at noon? I'd like to ask you to try some of the food.

[System notification: You have acquired the talent 'Lies LV1']

Nanxiang glanced at the system notification that suddenly popped up, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Probably dead: Huh...? A tasting?

On the other end of the phone, Goto Ichiri looked very hesitant.

Tokyo's Number One Handsome Boy: Please, Goto-kun.

He's probably dead: Is it... is it tomorrow at noon?

Tokyo's Number One Handsome Boy: Almost there. Should I go to your class to get you?

He's probably dead: Please don't! That... he's probably in the courtyard.

Perhaps fearing that the arrival of Nango, a top predator on campus, in her class would cause trouble, Goto Ichiri reacted very strongly this time, though her tone remained soft and weak, like a frightened hamster.

But when I was in the south, it didn't matter at all.

Even after three playthroughs and being an old married couple, Nango Toki naturally has an inexplicable psychological advantage over her.

Tokyo's Number One Handsome Boy: That's settled then.

He turned off LINE without even looking at Goto Ichiri's last reply, and instead went to figure out what to do tomorrow.

On the other side, not far away.

The pink-haired girl carefully wrote the last reply and sent the message.

After receiving no reply for a long time, she nervously fiddled with the strands of hair near her ear.

Senior Nanxiang hasn't replied yet...
