My Romance Simulation with Them

My mouth was filled with a sour taste that I couldn't quite put my finger on.

But this isn't the right time.

Yamada's father composed himself and then asked, "Nango-kun, could you tell me about your experience coming to Tokyo?"

"Actually, there's not much to say."

Nanxiang smiled.

Speak out all the words you have prepared.

It was nothing more than going from the countryside to the capital, and in the process, getting to know Yamada Ryo and others.

“That’s not what I want to know.”

Yamada's father waved his hand: "What I'm curious about is that Ryo-chan mentioned Nango-kun's grades before... You seem to have gotten first place in the national mock test?"

Yes, that's true.

"This is really..."

Yamada's father nodded, somewhat satisfied.

Ranked first in the national simulation test.

Even though his family was not well-off when he was in Nanxiang, he didn't have to worry about anything.

With this level of skill, even if they don't consistently maintain their position as the top student in national mock exams, getting into the University of Tokyo wouldn't be a problem at all.

Once Nanxiang graduates from university and enters the workforce, I will use my connections from years of running a private hospital to arrange a good position for him, and then promote him when he has matured.

When he's in Nanxiang and has a child with his daughter, he'll find an opportunity to hand over the hospital to her, while he and his wife will leave some of their assets to take care of their grandson...

This life couldn't be more perfect.

In addition, it was my first meeting and first contact with Nanxiang.

He was already quite satisfied with the other party's excellent communication skills and ability to read people's expressions.

However, this was only a temporary idea of ​​Yamada's father.

After all, it remains to be seen whether the other party will be able to stay with his daughter in the end.

So he smiled and said straightforwardly, "I understand the specifics. Nango-kun is indeed outstanding. I can more or less understand why Ryo-chan chose you. Moreover, as an elder, I am unwilling to interfere too much in the matter between the two of you."

"I have only one request: I hope that Nango-kun will not let Ryo-chan down, and that he will not make her sad."

Yamada's father held up one finger.

This request is perfectly normal; I estimate that every parent would make such a request for their children.

This was by no means an excessive request from Yamada's father.

Nanxiang Shi didn't hesitate at all and nodded decisively: "I understand."

"it is good."

When Yamada's father looked Nango up and down, he couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder after seeing his handsome appearance: "Come earlier next time, so that Ryo-chan's mother can see you too."

"If there is an opportunity."

Nanxiang nodded with a smile.

It seems that the reminder I gave to Yamada Ryo earlier worked.

Yamada's father had a very good first impression of him.

If we follow the process in the simulation.

Yamada's father will probably only allow him to date Yamada Ryo after he gets into the University of Tokyo.

I also chatted with Yamada's father for a couple more minutes.

Nanxiang finally managed to escape.

Looking back on the day's events, Nanxiang felt it had been a truly eventful day.

but...

"At least we made it through."

He declined Yamada's father's offer to give him a ride and stretched as he walked alone on the streets of Shimokitazawa.

Rio Futaba's simulation has also ended.

Next...

"So it's about teenage music festivals and preparing for college entrance exams in your final year of high school, right?"

When Nanxiang was preparing for his senior year of high school, he didn't feel much pressure.

The simulated memory test included countless repetitions of the Tokyo University exam papers.

I remember all the test questions above by heart when I was in Nanxiang.

If Goto Ichiri, Yamada Ryo, and the other girls really can't get into a good university...

Nango wanted to give them the answers to the University of Tokyo's exam questions directly.

Since it's a free cheating method, might as well use it.

Unfortunately, apart from the things he experienced, he couldn't know anything else in the simulated memories—like things like football or the lottery.

After all, people in the southern countryside didn't have the habit of gambling on sports or buying lottery tickets.

Otherwise, he could start enjoying life right now.

"Let's stop with the sighs."

Nango shook his head and focused his attention on the 'Ten Generations Music Festival'.

This is what he should be paying attention to now.

If he could, he would like to be like some plagiarists and male protagonists who know the plot, using his almost precognitive abilities to directly pull the girls who were ending their band into an invincible position.

but--

"The 10th generation music festival is another product of the butterfly effect."

I felt a bit sentimental when I was in Nanxiang.

He remembered that the band that ended the simulation had performed at music festivals.

But Nanxiang remembers that music festival performance very clearly; it wasn't the '10th Generation Music Festival' of today.

In other words.

Nanxiang Shi had absolutely no recollection of this music competition for young people aged 10 to 20.

"Let's trust them here."

Nanxiang shook his head, not dwelling on the matter any further.

Nango Toki would naturally do anything that could help end the band's run.

Similarly, he also had great faith in the girls who had left the band.

"So... that's settled for now regarding the music festival... Next up is..."

Nanxiang pondered for a moment, then stretched out his finger and brought up the simulation page.

Under his gaze.

A few days ago, I was still lacking in "heart points".

We have now arrived at...

"1660 points?"

Despite the terrifyingly high level of attraction he could feel, Nango Toki remained remarkably calm.

On the contrary, he even felt it was too low.

You should know that you did it once with Ms. Goto.

And just now, a series of heart-fluttering events unfolded between him and Ms. Yamada.

She also made fun of science-oriented girl Rio Futaba and rich heiress Akane Shinjo on a regular basis.

He certainly hadn't forgotten Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue, and would occasionally go over there part-time as head chef.

1660 points of affection.

To be honest, it's not that high.

But it can't be said to be too low either.

However, Nango could probably understand it.

As his relationship with the girls gradually grew closer.

This means that what was originally just touching someone's palm could increase one's "heartbeat value".

Now that the relationship is getting closer, it might even involve holding hands or kissing.

Nango was very conflicted about this.

On the one hand, it is indeed very good to get closer to the girls.

However, the slower growth rate of the "heartbeat value" is somewhat frustrating.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Although conflicted, Nango did not dwell on it any longer.

He closed the simulator page and headed towards the 'Starry Night' performance hall.

Meanwhile, in Shinjuku, Tokyo, at a performance hall called Shinjuku Folt, someone was actually even more conflicted than Nango had been—

"Hiroi-neechan has been acting really strange lately!"

The woman who made that sound raised her hand, her face contorted in distress.

"Lately, she's been going to a performance hall called 'Starlight' a lot. She goes to listen to some unknown band called 'The End.' Does that mean she doesn't love me anymore?"

"Investigate! This is an unusual situation, we must investigate thoroughly! Let's start with channels like Twitter and YouTube!"

Having made that sound, Otsuki Yuyuko turned to her band members and gave them a command.
