My Romance Simulation with Them

[At the same time, you also saw that, hidden beneath the girl's overly long bangs, was a face that was far more beautiful than you expected.]

Lying on the bed in the infirmary was a girl wearing a light pink tracksuit.

Her bangs had been parted.

That overly delicate and refined face showed no trace of roughness under the setting sun.

Her pale pink hair framed her fair face like dark clouds surrounding the moon.

The moon, hidden beneath these dark clouds, was surprisingly beautiful.

She's very good-looking, but unfortunately she has social anxiety disorder.

[The infirmary doctor told you that Goto Ichiri fainted because she was too nervous and her emotions fluctuated too much. It's nothing serious, and she should wake up in a little while.]

Just as the school nurse predicted, Goto Ichiri fainted temporarily due to excessive tension. She actually woke up while you were talking to the school nurse, but judging from your voice, she was struggling with how long to pretend to be asleep.

But she didn't realize that her little scheme couldn't be hidden from you at all, and you decided—

[1. He deliberately groped her while she was pretending to be asleep.]

[Second, feign great concern to escalate the situation, pretending to contact an ambulance.]

[Thirdly, with an appearance score of 9, you maintain your composure and choose to ignore her, letting the situation drag on.]

[IV. Personal Simulation]

Nanxiang chose two.

Admittedly, he acknowledged that the first option was indeed very appealing.

He also made sure that even if someone like Goto Ichiri, a marginalized figure on campus, was sexually assaulted by him, they wouldn't dare to spread the word.

But Nanxiang was a model young man, so this was an option he might only slightly consider, and he would just sigh about it.

It's not like you can choose from eighteen different positions; it simply won't seduce him!

As for the third item, it's about a woman who almost exploded on the spot when she had ordinary contact with male classmates.

Trying to out-reserved her?

Oh--

Nanxiang sneered inwardly.

[You deliberately expressed your worry loudly and took out your phone as if to call an ambulance, which startled Goto Ichiri, who was pretending to be asleep.]

As an outsider at school, she always longed for attention, but definitely not for something as trivial as ending up in the hospital after having a minor physical encounter with a male classmate.

She frantically rolled off the nursing bed, only to meet your mischievous gaze. In that instant, she realized that everything that had just happened was a farce orchestrated by you, this wicked man.

[But she didn't understand why you approached her. She was clearly a hunchbacked, dark-circled oddball who probably smelled like mold remover, while you were a well-known figure at school. To her, you were like an unattainable sun. As if sensing her thoughts, you picked up Goto Ichiri's guitar.]

"Teach me to play."

"Hey?"

Upon hearing this, Ichiri Todo instinctively looked at Nango.

The young man sitting on the edge of the bed was very handsome, with a pair of large and bright black eyes beneath his slightly curled hair.

He simply sat in the chair without making any other movements, which gave Goto Ichiri a strangely pleasing feeling.

Yang...Yang Jiao...a truly sunny character!

She couldn't help but start daydreaming.

If only I could have Nango's mannerisms and a clever mind, and be the center of everyone's attention in discussions.

"Ok?"

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Nango looked over curiously.

"I'm sorry."

Goto Ichiri stiffly turned her gaze away and spoke in a low, fearful voice.

She often falls into delusions for no apparent reason.

Why apologize?

Goto Ichiri lowered his head, not daring to look at Nango Shi, and stammered, "Being stared at by someone like me, a paramecium, must be very uncomfortable, right?"

Her voice was resolute, as if she had already confirmed her identity as a paramecium.

His words revealed a deep sense of inferiority and self-destructive tendencies.

"Paramecium?"

Nanxiang Shi clearly noticed this as well; he frowned, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Where can you find such a beautiful paramecium?"

"Huh...huh?"

Nango Toki, who is at the top of the food chain in the academy, is actually praising a paramecium-level creature like that!

An indescribable sense of joy welled up from my chest.

This man... he won't bully me, is he an angel?

Riding on this momentum, she mustered her courage and, with all her might, asked in an extremely soft voice:

"Um... what can I do for you, Senior Nango?"

"Teach me to play."

Having already said it for the second time, Nanxiang pointed directly at the guitar and began to speak.

"Hey...hey? Nan-Gou-kun is interested in guitar too?"

"Yes, so could Goto-kun give me some pointers on how to practice?"

The guitar was just an excuse to get closer to Goto Ichiri, but in the simulator, Nango Toki lied without batting an eye, deceiving the girl in front of him who was as easy to coax as a baby.

Evil... demon...

The angelic feeling from before has vanished.

Goto Ichiri could almost see the dark aura and devilish wings behind Nango Toki's cheerful smile.

"Practicing... is fine, but Nanxiang-senpai... your guitar..."

Goto Ichiri spoke cautiously.

What greeted me was Nanxiang Shi's cheerful and straightforward words:

"Sorry, Goto-kun, I don't have the money to buy a guitar right now. Could I borrow yours?"

"Th-th-that...guitar tabs..."

"Let me think... If Goto-kun has any marked guitar tabs, it would be great if he could lend them to me for practice."

"I do have it..."

"Then it's decided. Just spend three or four hours each day practicing with me."

Nanxiang happily made the decision.

Three or four hours?!

Evil, demon...

Goto Ichiri shrank back, timidly lowering his fair and delicate face, not daring to look up.

Borrowing guitars and sheet music is not a big problem, but spending three or four hours every day... isn't that a bit too much of a stretch?

"Is there a problem, Goto-kun?"

Nanxiang, pretending to provide end-of-life care for patients, leaned his body against them.

A: That's a big problem...

Ultimately, I have no obligation to teach you...

"Actually, I have a good friend who was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Before he died, he wanted to hear me play the guitar for him."

As if sensing Goto Ichiri's thoughts, Nango Toki spoke with a sorrowful expression.

"Huh...huh? But...but..."

While it's true that Senior Nanxiang is very handsome, and it sounds plausible, it's absolutely nonsense... and three or four hours a day... I... I have my own things to do too...

"Then it's settled. Please help me."

I haven't agreed to anything yet!

Seeing that Nango had made the decision for her with a happy expression, Goto Ichiri really wanted to muster up her courage.

But in the end, he succumbed to the reality of social anxiety, lowering his head and stammering as he spoke:

"No, no problem."

[Clearly, Goto Ichiri is unaware of the phrase "the wickedness of human nature." After being sincerely praised for her beauty by you, the top student in the second year, she, who already harbored considerable admiration for you, could no longer refuse any of your requests.]

You secretly regret that Goto Ichiri's weakness has surprised you; perhaps you could have asked for more.

You have become friends with Ichiri Goto.

Chapter 5. I'm in the CPU, you!

"Phew—after all that effort, we just became friends?"

Temporarily detached from the simulation, Nango Toki let out a heavy sigh, his eyes filled with disbelief at Goto Ichiri.

Aren't girls creatures who, if left unattended, will line up to give him love letters and chocolates?

Why is it so difficult to deal with Goto Ichiri?

It must be because she's a female protagonist in anime, right?

He glanced at the time.

The lunch break is almost over.

Giving up his idea of ​​taking a quick look at Goto Ichiri during his lunch break in Class 3 of Grade 1, Nango Toki refocused his energy on the simulation.
