My Romance Simulation with Them

An amazing heat emanated from the palm of my hand.

Then it appeared on her ever-present, peaceful, smiling face.

A blush appeared on her fair face.

It even gave her a strange, burning sensation.

what happened?

Matsuzaka Granu couldn't understand it at all.

It was just a simple hand-holding gesture.

Why do I feel this way?

You should know that when we danced in groups before, there were times when we shook hands with other people.

But she didn't feel anything at that time.

I felt nothing, and my heart was completely unmoved.

But now...

An indescribable warmth.

It was as if a warm feeling, capable of dispelling the cold from every part of the body, was rising up at that moment.

It looks like someone knocked on the jar of konpeito.

The scattered candies melted.

The sweet syrup moistened my chest.

But all she had ever done was hold hands with Nango.

Why do I feel this way?

Girls suffering from emotional deprivation syndrome cannot understand this phenomenon.

She stopped and clutched her chest.

The young man turned his gaze to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah...that..."

Matsuzaka Sugar doesn't know why.

Her mindset had always been calm and undisturbed since childhood.

For the first time at this moment, I felt a surge of emotions.

Even his voice had lost its usual calm and quiet tone.

"I don't know why... Senior Nango's palms... are so hot."

Matsuzaka Satou raised her head and looked at Nango Toki.

yes...

It's so hot...

It's so hot...

It was just ordinary skin contact, and I've never felt anything like this before.

But the chest area... especially the area around the heart...

It was as if someone had lit a flame on it.

The warmth made her heart, which had been frozen for years, feel completely overwhelmed.

She didn't know how to describe this feeling and could only awkwardly express her thoughts.

Matsuzaka Satou awkwardly and hesitantly expressed her feelings.

Nanxiang felt a slight sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).

Just like in the simulation.

Matsuzaka Satou doesn't understand what 'love' means.

They don't understand how others or they themselves express love.

It's no wonder she showed such an expression, as it was her first time experiencing her own emotions and those of others.

He pondered this for a moment, then asked, "Should we loosen our grip?"

Nango Toki originally thought that Matsuzaka Satou, who was at a loss, would agree to his proposal.

but--

"Do not."

Matsuzaka Satou didn't hesitate for even a second, and even gently squeezed Nango Toki's hand.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but Nanxiang felt that her complexion was even rosier.

"Let's shake hands a little longer, senior Nango."

If it were the old her, she probably would have let go of Nanxiang's hand without hesitation.

But now.

Having already tasted the warmth, she felt a vague reluctance to let go.

"Yeah...?"

Under Matsuzaka Satou's watchful gaze.

Nanxiang did not bring up the matter of letting go again.

Matsuzaka Satou let out a long sigh of relief, her pink eyes secretly watching the other person.

My body is still cold.

You can still feel the chill from the outside.

But I don't know why...

A warm feeling rising in my chest.

Yet it seems to be able to completely dispel the coldness of the outside world.

......

Matsuzaka Sato's house is different from Nango's house, which requires a special trip to Shimokitazawa Station.

Her home is only a ten-minute walk from Yucha High School.

It's like walking along that long commercial street, then taking a couple of steps into the residential area, and you'll find the place.

"This is it."

He squinted as he looked at the residential apartment building in front of him in Nanxiang.

Matsuzaka Sato lives in a simple, ordinary apartment building.

Looking down from here, it's about a dozen stories high.

But it is precisely this place.

The simulated version of myself repeatedly tried to visit.

But Matsuzaka Satou brushed them all off with various excuses.

In the simulation, he also respected Matsuzaka Satou's wishes and, knowing what she was thinking, never insisted on visiting her home again.

Even after marriage.

Matsuzaka Sugar never came to this place again.

'But I'm different.'

Nango stroked his chin, knowing full well that a major reason Matsuzaka Satou didn't want him to come here was because of her guardian, Matsuzaka Sayuri.

That character who clearly had a profound impact on Matsuzaka Satou's life, but never appeared once in the simulation.

Even at the very end.

Matsuzaka Sato passed away due to illness.

Her guardian, Sayuri Matsuzaka, also did not appear.

Everything about the other party was hidden by Matsuzaka Satou.

Nango Toki's initiative to contact Matsuzaka Satou this time was certainly not just about sending Matsuzaka Satou home.

What he really wanted was to meet Sayuri Matsuzaka, whom he had never met before.

As long as you can communicate with the other party.

He could then roughly understand why Matsuzaka Satou lacked emotional connection.

This will help us find the root cause and cure Matsuzaka Satou's inner turmoil.

So... the next step is quite simple.

Nango turned his head to look at Matsuzaka Sato.

The pink-haired girl had already folded up her umbrella and even looked up to speak:

"Senior Nanxiang, is this enough? I can make it up the rest of the way by myself."

Yes, we've arrived at the apartment building.

She can walk the rest of the way by herself.

but--

"I've already brought you this far, won't you invite me up for a seat?"

Nanxiang did not hesitate and stepped forward to ask a question.

"Why...?"

Matsuzaka Satou looked up, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing slightly, her voice hesitant: "But... Nango-senpai... um... the house is a bit messy..."

That's exactly the reaction!
