My Romance Simulation with Them

Goto Ichiri roughly summarized the situation in his mind and then started typing.

[He's probably dead: I don't know the specifics, but Ah Shi took the day off today... He never takes leave before, so the situation must be quite serious.]

[Want to embark on the path to the stars: Okay, I understand. Let's cancel today's band practice for now. Let's go visit Nango-san together.]

[Want to embark on the path to the stars: Ryo, Shimokitazawa High School is near Minamigo-san's house... I think it's pretty close, right? Let's buy our things first and head over.]

[The aloof bassist: Huh? I have to pay for this?]

[Want to embark on the path to the stars: No complaining allowed! It's decided! (A chibi-style blonde girl with a look of utter disdain)]

"call--"

After sending the last message and putting down her phone, the blonde girl stretched lazily in her seat.

"You're sick... Nango-san..."

With her bright red eyes fixed on the ceiling, Ichiji Nijika propped her face up again and murmured to herself, "I wonder how things are going."

She closed her eyes.

However, it was only when he closed his eyes.

Various memories surged into my mind.

My memories of getting into my dream university after receiving extra tutoring in my hometown...

The memories of the band achieving their dream with the help of Nango, and performing on the Tokyo Dome stage...

The bitterness of being rejected after confessing my feelings to him...

After waiting for over a decade, she finally lived with Nango Toki, and they even did *that* kind of thing—

"No, no, no, no!"

A blush instantly rose to her fair face.

The girl shook her head vigorously.

"How is that possible!?"

It's like talking to someone you can't see.

It also sounded like he was talking to himself.

Ichiji Nijika's face flushed red as she muttered, "...and did that kind of thing with everyone...it's impossible just to think about it, right?"

She admitted...

She admitted it.

Just as she remembered, she recently developed feelings for Nango Toki because he went to great lengths to help her with her studies.

But that was just a good feeling!

I like her a tiny bit more than a friend!

It doesn't even qualify as liking!

And think about it carefully!

It's not just her.

Xiao Gudu and Liang had already made it clear that they had feelings for Nanxiang Shi.

If I were to interfere...

Wouldn't that make an already chaotic scene even more chaotic?

Therefore, it's impossible for him to like Nango Toki!

Absolutely impossible!

Ichi Nijika was thinking about this.

But she quickly recalled the scenes from her fragmented memories of living with her bandmates after the band ended.

Ichi Nijika remained silent.

If it really turns out that way.

The band members all fell in love with Nango Toki...

"What constitutes the correct approach?"

Ichiji Nijika sighed.

Based on her personality...

If she falls in love with someone, she will absolutely do anything for that person.

Even if rejected, they probably won't give up—just like the memories in their minds.

Because I know that I have this kind of personality.

That's why Ichi Nijika felt somewhat lost.

If it were really like in the dream... like with the other members, when I fell in love with Nango...

What should I do?

Sigh, I've even been neglecting my work lately.

The blonde girl sighed slightly.

I just don't understand!

I feel lost.

......

The time was from morning to afternoon—it didn't take long.

but--

"That guy Liang—"

As she walked out of Shimokitazawa High School, Ijichi Nikka's face was filled with disbelief.

We had already agreed on a time to leave together.

But when she went to Yamada Ryo's class to ask him to leave together, she was informed by the other student.

It turns out that Yamada Ryo disappeared from the classroom as soon as class ended.

Even today, it's this guy with the dark blue short hair's turn to be on duty.

Ichi Nijika strongly suspected that the other party didn't want to spend money to buy things to visit Nango, which was why they slipped away early.

"Forget it."

Thinking about it more won't help.

Yamada Ryo has disappeared somewhere.

Having no other choice, she had to go visit Nanxiang Shi alone.

After buying the gifts for the visit, I boarded the train at Shimokitazawa Station and traveled to Meguro Ward, where Nango was located.

After all, it's within Tokyo.

It didn't take long for Ichiki Nijika to get off the tram and walk to the address she had left behind when she was in Nango.

Unlike Yamada Ryo and Nishiki Chizuka, who often went to Nango's house for meals.

Ichi Nijika had never been to Nango's house.

I only learned from Yamada Ryo's few words that Nango's family situation seemed to be average, and their living conditions were also very poor.

but--

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Ichi Nijika's eyes widened slightly.

Looking at the building in front of her, she couldn't quite accept it for a while.

A two-story building.

The walls, which should have been white, are now covered in black and gray, clearly indicating that they have not been maintained for a long time.

The blue paint on the iron railings has peeled off, revealing the rusty fence underneath.

A row of low-rent rooms stretches out in the distance.

It looks as small as a coffin.

Although Ichi Nijika's family background wasn't top-tier, it was still quite good.

Therefore, upon seeing the particularly harsh environment before her, even she, who was usually gentle, couldn't help but furrow her beautiful brows.

This environment is simply too harsh.

It feels like it's always drafty in winter and leaky in summer.

But we haven't seen what's inside yet.

Maybe it doesn't look that great from the outside.

But it was surprisingly good inside!

Ichi Nijika comforted herself with this thought, and after finding the plaque that belonged to Nango, she reached out and rang the doorbell.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang crisply.

The sound could also be heard coming from inside the house.

The door then slowly opened.

"Hmm? Hongxia?"

"I'm sorry for the sudden visit."

Ichi Nijika subconsciously looked up at Nango Toki, who had made the sound.

It's clear that the other person's condition is indeed not good.
