My Romance Simulation with Them

He slowly exhaled.

Nanxiang's consciousness fully awakened.

At this moment, the lingering warmth from the inn and Matsuzaka Satou had vanished from his body.

It left me feeling inexplicably disappointed.

Fortunately...

Nango glanced at Nishiki Chizuku, who was hugging him.

Although I withdrew from the personal simulation, I lost Ms. Matsuzaka's hug.

But he also received the warmth of Nishiki Chizuki's embrace.

Not bad, not bad.

He nodded with satisfaction.

I settled my head into a comfortable position and continued looking up at the simulation.

He is now eager to know how the simulation will unfold.

Chapter 289. Winter Arrives as Promised (4000 words)

Riding a motorcycle, enjoying the snow, admiring the road signs along the way, watching the surrounding scenery change from city to farmland and then to mountains... the white snow swept everything away, including her ever-troubled and uneasy heart.

The warmth she felt leaning against your back was a warmth she had never experienced or even dreamed of in her entire life.

She was saved by the warmth you gave her.

After your intimate moment with Matsuzaka Satou, gazing at the gentle, beautiful profile of the girl sleeping soundly beside the bed, you couldn't help but make a firm decision: you must protect her well.

You gather her disheveled pink hair and drift off to sleep, preparing for tomorrow's journey home.

The weather was fine the next day; the sun came out, and the ice on the roads had melted.

After a simple breakfast at the hotel, you and she hopped on your motorcycle and began your journey home.

The sunlight streamed down, and large chunks of snow on the ground were melting.

She mustered her courage, removed her helmet, and without the heavy helmet's constraints, her heart seemed to soar high, like her flowing pink hair.

She let out a clear, crisp laugh, though she didn't know why she was laughing.

She hugged your waist tightly and whispered something.

[Because of the wind and the helmet, you couldn't hear what she said.]

However, the sound of the wind could still be heard.

She said, "It was so wonderful to meet you on that rainy day."

Although it was still cold, she felt incredibly relaxed at that moment, as if her body was radiating warmth.

Despite your earnest reminders, the girl reluctantly put on the helmet.

You noticed that she's more lively and more like a 'person' than before.

Around 2 PM, when the snow began to fall slowly again, you returned to Tokyo.

This time, she promised you she wouldn't do anything foolish again, so she hopes you can focus your energy on your studies.

Her words were serious and earnest, leaving you no room for doubt.

You believed her, gently hugged her, and then drove your motorcycle home.

[Because it was so cold, even though you're not used to taking baths, you soaked in the hot tub for almost ten minutes before slowly getting up.]

"It must be very cold."

Looking at the text in the simulation, Nango stretched comfortably.

Fortunately, I was more skilled and decisively broke away from the simulation, letting my simulated self take Matsuzaka Sugar home, thus avoiding the pain of being exposed to the cold wind for more than two hours.

Just as you promised Matsuzaka Satou, you focused all your energy on your studies.

In the days to come, you will study hard.

The University of Tokyo's exam day is fast approaching.

[Bearing the expectations of your mother and two older sisters, you entered the program and achieved remarkable results.]

[On the day the list was posted, your student ID number was prominently displayed.]

Meanwhile, with your tutoring help, your classmates Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Nijika both got into good universities.

Rio Futaba was selected by the researchers in the physics department of the university she applied to, and entered the research lab during her freshman year to begin working on the advanced physics she had long admired.

[Shinjo Akane didn't disappoint you either; while entering the University of Tokyo just like you, she didn't forget her dream of making tokusatsu films.]

After entering university, you'll have a lot more free time.

[The coursework that seems difficult for your peers to complete, you can finish quickly.]

[You used this free time to tutor Goto Ichiri, Kita Ikuyo, and Matsuzaka Sato, who were all entering their final year of high school.]

[Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo's grades have stabilized, leaving little room for improvement. At this rate, they should be able to get into the universities they want.]

Matsuzaka Satou displayed extraordinary patience during this period. She was much more serious than the other girls, and as a result, her grades improved very quickly compared to the other two.

While your efforts certainly contributed to this, her unwavering determination and determination to get into the University of Tokyo like you were also an undeniable factor.

Realizing that you've reached a point where you can't improve any further, Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo suggest that you focus your energy on Matsuzaka Satou, who still has room for improvement.

[Matsusaka Satou had already become part of their group during this time.]

They also hope that those who work hard will achieve a perfect result.

At their request, you began to focus on teaching Matsuzaka Sugar.

[You soon discovered that although Matsuzaka Satou's grades improved significantly, there were always periods when she couldn't concentrate and her mind would wander while completing the test.]

This is a common situation for many students. Because they understand the questions and can write the answers, they focus only on speed and lack concentration, ultimately making small mistakes and losing points.

[If Matsuzaka Sato can overcome this weakness, she might actually be able to get into the University of Tokyo.]

When the topic turned to studying at the same school as you, she, who had always been indifferent to everything, became emotional, her voice filled with longing.

She wants to spend more time by your side... to savor the scenery around you.

[Therefore, you specifically devised a tutoring strategy for her.]

"Your current abilities are not quite enough to get into the University of Tokyo, but if you can maintain your focus, you might actually have a chance."

The lamp on the other side is Matsuzaka Satou, and the lamp on this side is Nango Toki.

"So I'll be there to supervise you and keep you focused."

"Thank you for your help, Senior Nanxiang."

Even though they have become lovers, the girl still subconsciously calls Nango Toki "Nango-senpai".

For her, this title seems to have a different meaning.

The pen tip falls.

The rustling sound of students working on problems came from the paper.

"Focus".

Nango rolled the book into a tube and tapped it on the head of Matsuzaka Satou, who seemed to be a little distracted.

"Focus".

"Focus".

The night was so quiet.

You can see a beautiful starry sky just by looking up.

However, Matsuzaka Sato did not have that luxury.

The reminders rang in her ears, accompanying her through one difficult night after another.

With your tutoring, she slowly overcame her shortcomings.

[I maintained a high level of performance throughout the entire exam.]

This puts your mind at ease a little.

While Matsuzaka Satou's level is still somewhat lacking for getting into the University of Tokyo, exams involve an element of luck in addition to ability.

As always, you took her on long rides on your motorcycle during your free time.

You stopped to rest as you passed a field of flowers.

Beneath this sea of ​​flowers, she made a promise to you: she would definitely get into the University of Tokyo and walk alongside you.

The sea of ​​flowers is pristine, the sky is clear and blue—everything is breathtaking. She, who uttered these words, took your hand; she was more beautiful than any of the delicate blossoms.

"Isn't this setting a flag for the future?"

Nango glanced at the promise he made to Matsuzaka Satou in the simulation.

Logically speaking, this kind of agreement is like a death flag: "We'll get married after this battle" or "Don't forget to tell my sister."

Although it's just an exam, it won't lead to a death flag.

But...

"It's worrying. It feels like they've failed the exam and suffered a defeat."

Nanxiang shook his head.

Meanwhile, the simulation continues.

Winter has come again.

The snow and ice on the eaves froze into fine, transparent icicles.

Under your watchful eye, the three of them entered the exam season.

Soon, their respective results were released.

[Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo were admitted to the same prestigious music university as Ijichi Nijika and Yamada Ryo, marking the end of their band careers and the beginning of their active university years.]
