My Romance Simulation with Them

Although he felt a little smug about being relied upon by the girl, Nango Toki was secretly pleased.

But his desire to persuade the other party remained completely unchanged.

"It still has meaning."

Nanxiang took the girl's hand, using this gesture to help her focus: "Your emotions are gradually reviving, and you shouldn't only be considering emotional matters."

"Just like Ryo and Ichiri, they like me, but they also have the future goal of becoming rock musicians."

That's right.

Besides liking him.

Every girl has a goal for the future that she strives to achieve.

This is something indispensable for being an independent and complete person.

So, what's the first thing Matsuzaka Satou, now that she has emotions...?

Nanxiang hoped she would give it a good think.

Based on her own understanding and thinking... she seriously considered it.

Chapter 282. Sugar is Sweet (4000 words)

Humans, as they walk through this world, experience not only love and affection, but also a future and goals.

If one focuses solely on one aspect while ignoring the other, it's simply swinging from one extreme to another.

You told Matsuzaka Satou everything you were thinking.

[And ask her if there's anything she wants to do or anywhere she wants to go.]

[Faced with your question, Matsuzaka Satou pondered for a long time, but finally shook her head.]

As her feelings slowly return, she feels lost about many things. Just reaching out to protect you has already taken a lot of her energy to think things through.

[To encourage her to develop independent thinking and contemplate the future... something that even some young people today find confusing, she will naturally feel perplexed.]

But your words were like seeds, falling into her barren spiritual world, allowing her to discover that besides the emotions she had always valued, she possessed so many other possibilities.

Her heart trembled with your words.

After a moment's hesitation, she took your hand and whispered that although she hadn't yet found her future goal, there was a place she wanted to go.

[How old was she exactly? Matsuzaka Satou can't remember anymore.]

She vaguely remembered that her aunt, Sayuri Matsuzaka, had told her that when her parents were still alive, they longed to see Mount Fuji, and not only often went camping and sightseeing in the vicinity, but also took many photos.

Around that time, Matsuzaka's mother became pregnant with her and named her Sugar.

Why was she named 'Sugar'? Was it in the hope that she would live a sweet and happy life every day?

Why do I love the scenery of Mount Fuji so much? There are other places with equally beautiful scenery.

Perhaps touched by these words, Matsuzaka Satou wanted to see the scenery her parents had once seen.

Perhaps there, now that she has recovered emotionally, she can feel the same scenery that her parents once experienced...

She wanted to understand.

Why were my parents so obsessed with seeing the view of Mount Fuji?

You heard the expectation in the girl's voice, and you felt the longing in her expression.

You stroked her head and granted her this truly insignificant request.

There are actually several spots for viewing Mount Fuji.

The ideal location would be near Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture.

Because it's far from the city, the sky over Lake Kawaguchi is incredibly blue, like a tranquil lake where a touch would cause ripples to spread. The air is so fresh that even a gentle breath carries its sweet scent.

After discussions with Matsuzaka Sato and confirmation with Matsuzaka Sayuri, you have finally decided on the location near Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture for enjoying the view of Mount Fuji.

To ensure Matsuzaka Satou could enjoy the mountain scenery, you specifically rented a complete set of winter camping gear from the campsite.

You did all sorts of investigations, including checking the weather, and only after confirming that there were no problems with the itinerary did you feel relieved.

[And in the course of this process, the appointed day soon arrived.]

You got up early and set off for Yamanashi Prefecture.

[The winter wind was biting cold. You held a map, wrapped in a scarf and wearing gloves, and walked out of the station. With Matsuzaka Satou by your side, you asked for directions as you boarded the bus.]

The winter chill had turned her ears slightly red, so you reached out and warmed them with your palm.

She saw you carrying large bags of camping gear and gently helped you carry some of it from behind.

The two of you supported each other as you walked along the not-too-long mountain path.

The Kawaguchiko campsite was quiet in winter, with only a few scattered campers in the cold weather.

The best time to enjoy the view of Mount Fuji is at sunrise.

At that time, the orange sun would rise behind Mount Fuji, which would appear as if holding up this magnificent orange-red gem with both hands, while the mirror-like surface of Lake Kawaguchi would quietly reflect it all...

You glanced at the time; there was still over an hour until sunrise.

Following the knowledge learned from camping manuals and through practical experience, you quickly pitched your tent and hers, then took her for a walk in the woods.

Amidst the withered pine forest, the ground was littered with pine cones that crumbled underfoot, and her mood seemed to quiet down in that moment.

Things should have continued smoothly from here on out.

[Perhaps the Japanese weather forecaster yesterday had too much to drink and misread the weather forecast.]

At this very moment, a light, sparse snowfall began to fall.

This is not good news for you.

Because of this unromantic light snow, Matsuzaka Satou's long-awaited plan to watch the sunrise over Mount Fuji may be dashed.

You looked at all this, frowned, and wondered whether you should stay overnight at a hotel near Lake Kawaguchi.

However, her tiny hand slipped into yours.

You instinctively turn your head and find the girl staring at your face.

She whispered to you that she was overjoyed that you could come with her.

Even if I can't see the most perfect view of Mount Fuji, it's still enough.

Sparse, white snowflakes fell from the sky, seemingly trying to envelop the world.

You take off your glove, extend your other hand, and watch the snowflakes melt in your palm.

She nestled beside you, gazing at the snowy scene before you.

You reached out and hugged her tightly.

It's very cold...

Yet you felt... that your hearts had never burned so brightly... and that you had never been so close.

[Perhaps she sensed what you and she were thinking.]

[It's also possible that the Japanese weather forecast wasn't actually wrong.]

The light snow only lasted for half an hour before gradually dissipating.

[Because of the light snowfall, the temperature dropped even lower, but the sky looked as if it had been wiped clean by the white snowflakes, a pure, clear blue...]

The snow on Mount Fuji also became even thicker at this moment.

[In this situation, someone suddenly exclaimed with delight, "The sun is rising!"]

You and she then looked up, gazing at the distant Mount Fuji beyond Lake Kawaguchi.

It was an extremely beautiful and serene scene.

Before the orange-red fireball even appeared, a bright orange glow had already illuminated the edge of Mount Fuji from behind.

As time passed, the orange fireball moved out from behind Mount Fuji at an extremely slow but steady pace.

The pale gray Lake Kawaguchi reflects Mount Fuji, which seems to be cradling a fireball.

However, soon another gust of wind blew in, disrupting everything.

The lake, which had been calmly reflecting the fireball and its base, was now rippling. The deep gray water reflected shimmering orange-red light.

A dreamlike, ethereal orange light spilled down, dividing the world into two opposing forces: light and darkness.

You hold Matsuzaka Satou's hand, gazing at the magnificent mountain scenery, while excitedly and smilingly explaining the scientific principles behind this phenomenon to her.

But at this moment... Matsuzaka Satou wants to apologize to you.

[Because you specifically came to Lake Kawaguchi to see the view of Mount Fuji because of her.]

However, at this point...

However, her gaze did not fall upon the mountain scenery that she should have been admiring.

She looked at your profile, which was slightly yellowed by the sunlight... and couldn't look away...

During the simulation, scenes from my memory began to flash back.

Wearing a thick down jacket, Nanxiang Shi stared intently at the scene of the sun leaping out before him.

Beside him was Matsuzaka Sato, who was also wearing a thick down jacket.

A chill was in the air.

Everything was enveloped in an orange-red glow, creating a hazy, mysterious atmosphere.

As the girl gazed at Nanxiang, she saw his thin red lips and the faint blush of the morning light on his neck.

At this moment...

She seemed to understand why her mother and father were so fond of the view of Mount Fuji.

As she gazed at Nango, she thought that perhaps the view of Mount Fuji was not important.

What really matters is... who is with you to appreciate this scenery.

Nango, who was focused on admiring the mountain scenery in front of him, did not actually notice.
