My Romance Simulation with Them

A smile appeared on her otherwise expressionless face.

She did not speak.

But as I leaned against the southern hills, watching the mountain scenery before me fade into the distance...

The sunrise over Mount Fuji did not last long.

After reading it, you also didn't forget to ask her how she felt.

[My main goal is to figure out if she sensed her parents' obsession with Mount Fuji, and also to understand why they named her 'Sugar', such a strange name.]

"I think I should figure it out."

Matsuzaka Satou sat down by the tent with Nango Toki, turning her head to look in the direction of Mount Fuji.

"is it?"

As he took off his soaking wet socks, Nanxiang asked with considerable interest, "What's the reason?"

"It's probably not some remarkable reason."

Matsuzaka Satou handed Nango some spare socks, watched him put them on, and then continued speaking.

"It should be...like white sugar-coated milk foam, poured over Mount Fuji..."

"White sugar milk foam...?"

The girl's words made him silently turn his head away.

The distant peak of Mount Fuji is covered with snow.

Looking at it from his perspective.

It's like being sprinkled with a layer of fine, soft sugar...

Is it really that simple?

Nanxiang touched his chin.

He still didn't quite understand.

Naming a child is clearly a big deal.

We shouldn't make a hasty decision because of something like this.

But Matsuzaka Satou, who was standing next to her, chuckled softly.

She looks beautiful when she smiles; her slender eyebrows curve upwards, her eyes gently droop, and her adorable pink eyes give her an indescribable sense of purity.

"I think the reason my parents named me 'Sugar' is probably for this simple reason."

yes...

Perhaps there is no complicated reason at all.

It was simply because her parents had inadvertently looked up while admiring the mountain scenery.

I saw what looked like white sugar foam left on Mount Fuji.

He then named himself 'Sugar'.

It's that simple.

And this name...

It's also a name that seems to commemorate the happy times they spent together...

Matsuzaka Satou raised her head slightly.

A faint orange morning light scattered across the room.

A hazy Tyndall effect beam of light pierced through the gaps between the pine trees.

Through that beam of light.

It was as if time had passed.

Matsuzaka Satou saw a woman with the same pink hair and a loving expression stroking her abdomen while looking up at the view of Mount Fuji in front of her.

She then excitedly spoke to the man beside her, naming the child in her womb 'Sugar'.

"But I won't name my child Sugar."

The pink-haired girl turned her head and looked at Nango: "Shio... Nango-senpai, what do you think of this name?"

"Southern salt?"

It was a bit strange in the south.

The name 'Matsusaka Sugar' is strange enough.

At this point, add some 'salt'...

Are you trying to gather all the seasonings for the whole family?

Looking at Nanxiang's puzzled expression.

Matsuzaka Satou gave a gentle smile.

She didn't seem to care about the name 'Nanxiang Salt' that she deliberately mentioned when she was in Nanxiang, and continued speaking:

"Sugar is sweet, but I had never experienced a sweet and happy life before I met Nango-senpai."

"Salt is salty and bitter. I hope she can have a happy childhood... at least not like me."

She spoke slowly and deliberately, then looked up at Mount Fuji.

There was one more thing she didn't say.

That is, both salt and sugar are white.

This is not just to commemorate her parents.

It also commemorates her encounter with Nango Toki...

She was talking about 'salt' and 'sugar,' and although you only understood part of what she was saying, you didn't interrupt her.

Because you clearly sense that the girl seems to be in a much better mood than before... as if she has broken free from all the constraints she has been under.

You shook your head, and at the same time tossed the fuel for the fire into the folding stove that had already been prepared in front of you.

You prepared a modest breakfast for her, and then took her for a walk near the campsite.

[Such a simple action, yet she remained tireless and engaged in many conversations with you that day...]

Night fell quickly.

Because you rented decent quality tents and sleeping bags, your nights weren't particularly cold.

However, it was on this very night that she told you about her future plans.

She wants to be like you... aiming for the University of Tokyo.

Chapter 283. Caught in an Economic Crisis (4000 words)

After this period of reflection, although she hasn't found a long-term goal for the future, she has made up her mind.

She wants to get into university, preferably the University of Tokyo like you.

[Because besides her parents, Matsuzaka Sayuri, who raised her from childhood, also sacrificed a great deal.]

Because her parents passed away when she was young, Sayuri Matsuzaka dropped out of university to raise her.

The tent was silent, with only a few scattered starlight filtering through the trees.

In such bright light, you can only make out the outline of her face.

Matsuzaka Sugar pressed close to your body, her voice full of apology.

Although her emotional void was caused by Matsuzaka Sayuri, the latter did indeed raise her, and she could not ignore this debt of gratitude.

Not to mention, Matsuzaka Sayuri has completely reformed, cut off contact with those shady men, and started doing odd jobs to support herself.

[Matsusaka Satou wishes she could take Matsaka Sayuri's place and get into a top national university, and similarly, she wants to reduce Sayuri's financial burden.]

Her words were filled with anticipation for the future, and her hand, hidden in her sleeping bag, gently grasped yours.

You are her support; these are the only things she can say to you.

Her eyes seemed to shine when she looked at you.

You kissed her cheek, not denying her feelings, but rather agreeing with them.

Ocha High School is an excellent high school for college entrance exam preparation. With hard work, getting into a decent national university in Tokyo is no problem at all.

But she still lacked confidence. Her grades were only average to above average in her class, and even though there were still two years left, she couldn't say for sure whether she could successfully achieve her goal.

[You sensed her thoughts, reached out and turned on the light, then took her hand in yours, tracing your fingers across her palm. Watching her face, lying on her side, slowly flush red, and how she shyly tried to pull her hand away, a smile finally appeared on her face.]

Tell her that if she gets into a good state university, you will give her a reward.

When you said this, your tone was ambiguous, and your eyes were fixed intently on her face.

This made her daydream and couldn't help but look forward to the 'reward' you mentioned.

The initial slight lack of confidence I felt was replaced by anticipation.

"award?"

This word is just too tempting.

Even in real life, Nango Toki, who was lying on his side next to Nishiki Chitsuka, couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

However, he was never a man who succumbed to temptation.

Not to mention that Miss Jinmu is sleeping right next to him right now.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Nanxiang shook his head and put the messy thoughts in his head aside.

Your encouragement was undoubtedly helpful.

After returning from the campsite, Matsuzaka Satou began tutoring with the End Band.

The tutoring assignment, which originally had four students, has now increased to five.

Even though you have the talent for teaching and nurturing students, you can sometimes be too busy to handle one-on-one tutoring.
