My Romance Simulation with Them

But looking into the other person's calm, untainted eyes...

The words that were on the tip of my tongue wouldn't come out.

But soon, as if she had thought of something else, she looked up and continued:

"Even if that's the case, and Nango-senpai asked her to buy the bento because he was thinking of Sugar... but how do you explain Nango-senpai asking her for money?"

Yes.

Even if there's a reason to explain the bento box incident.

But there's no way to deny the fact that you're borrowing money, right?

Nango had just taken 150,000 yen in wages from Matsusaka Sugar.

This just doesn't make sense!

As Hida Shoko pondered this, she regained her confidence and raised her head to look at Nango Toki.

Nango Toki shook his head at the other party's confident question.

"Hida-kun, it seems you still don't quite understand."

"I did borrow Matsuzaka's salary for this month, but what you don't know, Hida-san, is that because of her peaceful and simple personality, Matsuzaka often has some shady friends who ask her for money."

Nango looked at Hida Shoko and said, "Instead of letting those 'friends' who will never pay me back take the money, I'd rather borrow the money from Matsuzaka-kun first."

That's right.

Matsuzaka Sugar has a very pure and peaceful personality.

It's like a blank sheet of paper.

It is precisely because of her pure and peaceful personality that she cannot refuse others.

Having experienced emotional and spiritual deficiencies, she probably couldn't realize that those people simply wanted to take the money from her.

and so--

"To prevent this from happening, I'd better keep the money."

At this point, Nango Toki stood up: "Actually, even if Hida-kun hadn't said anything, I was already planning to return the money to Matsuzaka-kun today."

"..." Hida Shoko.

She was unable to speak at this point.

Because she really hadn't expected that Nango Toki would consider the Matsuzaka Sugar matter so deeply.

Everything before turned out to be a misunderstanding on her part.

An indescribable sense of guilt welled up inside me.

This made Hida Shoko blush instantly, and she hurriedly apologized to Nango Toki in front of her.

"I'm so sorry, Senior Nanxiang! My attitude was so rude just now... I'm really sorry!"

After figuring out what had happened, she realized just how rude her previous reaction had been.

She is known for her courage and integrity, and her sincere nature is evident in her repeated bows, fully demonstrating the spirit of craftsmanship.

Nango Toki didn't actually intend to argue too much with Hida Shoko.

After all, the other party was just worried about their friend, which is understandable.

So he simply waved his hand, telling the other person not to worry about it anymore.

The misunderstanding was thus cleared up.

Hida Shoko raised her head and sighed, "It's really great... I didn't know that Nango-senpai cared about Satou so much... liked Satou... I can finally rest assured now."

She stood beside them, expressing her amazement.

On the other side, Nango glanced at the other person's face silently without answering.

Do you like Matsuzaka sugar...?

him?

不 ...

His current relationship with Matsuzaka Satou is actually far more complicated than just liking or disliking someone.

Such a light and casual remark... is absolutely insufficient to summarize the relationship between him and Matsuzaka Satou.

Chapter 253. You Are All My Wings! (2000 words)

You know, your relationship with Matsuzaka Satou is far more complicated than just liking or disliking her.

On the surface, it seems like you're bossing her around, having her handle all sorts of problems for you; you two have an absolute master-servant relationship.

[But in reality, this is evidence that a girl lacking emotions is relying on you through 'obedience'.]

She's spending more time with you at school now.

She'll come to your side as soon as get out of class ends and won't leave until class resumes.

The boys in the class were furious about this.

First it was Akane Shinjo, who was second in her grade, then it was Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue at the school festival.

They envied your ability to attract women and all sought your advice and guidance.

[Some female trainees were heartbroken upon witnessing this scene, as the pink-haired girl's beauty made them feel ashamed of themselves.]

[Even on some campus SNS (social networking sites), photos of you and her interacting have appeared.]

Everything looked so bright and beautiful.

Even the members of the band who ended their careers, as well as Akane Shinjo and Rio Futaba, thought so.

The pink-haired girl before you will become one of those captivated by you, just like them.

Even when the girls see Matsuzaka Satou in private, they secretly call her 'sister'.

Among these girls, Chizuka Nishiki, with her ordinary intuition, and Ryo Yamada, who harbors a burning love for you, are exceptionally clear-headed at this moment.

[With your help, Yamada Ryo, like the other girls who had left the band, got into her dream university, and Nishiki Chizuka, while working at Rikorik, started doing what she wanted to do.]

[It was during this process that Yamada Ryo and Nishiki Chizuka realized that your relationship with the pink-haired girl was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.]

On the surface, it seems like Matsuzaka Satou is obedient to your requests and completely compliant, but in reality, the relationship is quite the opposite.

[Matsusaka Satou is actually the one who's asking you for something.]

[Through the so-called 'master-servant' relationship, you satisfied her desire to convey 'love,' fulfilling her one-sided expression of overflowing 'love.']

They noticed Matsuzaka Satou's extraordinary qualities, and also understood why you treated her in a 'master-servant play' manner.

To help you solve your problem, Yamada Ryo, for the first time, humbled himself and took the initiative to communicate with Matsuzaka Satou, hoping to become her friend and share your burden.

[But clearly, she ultimately failed. Matsuzaka Satou has no interest in anyone but you.]

[Even without your presence, Matsuzaka Sugar would most likely find Yamada-san extremely troublesome and might even resort to some means against her.]

[But you were right beside her, you were her inhibitor, you suppressed all of Matsuzaka Satou's extreme, pure, and irrational behaviors.]

Similarly, she will fulfill all your requests.

Even after you've made it clear you won't be in a relationship with her, she still wants to stay by your side.

For her, simply having a place by your side, even if it's just a small corner of the world, seems enough.

"what?"

I never expected you to be like this, Matsuzaka Satou.

When Nanxiang saw this, he was stunned.

What kind of people-pleasing personality is this?

Even if she doesn't become Matsuzaka Satou's lover, she'd still be willing to stay by his side.

Isn't this too much...?

Nanxiang hissed and couldn't help but shake his head.

Although he did change Matsuzaka Satou's personality.

But it felt like it was pulling her from one extreme to another.

"That's what makes girls who are like blank slates so difficult to deal with."

They always get stuck on trivial details and have no idea about flexibility.

If you dye her red, then she is red; if you dye her black, then she is black.

Why is it that every time Miss Simulator chooses a partner, they are always so difficult to win over?

Nanxiang sighed, then couldn't help but shake his head.

At this point, there's no point in worrying about such things anymore.

Let's keep watching.

You didn't want her to become a puppet who only knew how to follow your lead, so you took various measures to reduce Matsuzaka Satou's love for you and her dependence on you.

However, none of these methods worked.

[A girl suffering from a lack of romantic feelings only has eyes for you.]

[There was no other way but to respect her wishes and let her stay by your side, while silently hoping that the long passage of time would wear down her extreme infatuation with you.]

Time continues to flow forward.

You have graduated from university and successfully landed a job at a large bank.

[Later, leveraging your extensive experience working in the bank and your established network of high-quality clients, you formally established a company outside the bank.]

You are twenty-six years old this year, and will soon be twenty-seven.

Similarly, this also brings you to an age where you have to start thinking about something—marriage.

[If things had gone according to plan, you probably would have proposed to the members of the band that ended, Rico Lico, and Akane Shinjo and Rio Futaba without hesitation.]

However, the reality is that there is something you have to face.
