My Romance Simulation with Them

That's practically impossible, isn't it?

Unless the other eight people share the same thoughts as Rio Futaba, this is simply impossible.

Seemingly sensing Sakuta Azusagawa's thoughts, Rio Futaba added an explanation:

"Actually, the situation is much simpler than you think. I guess they also want to get along well with me and accept each other. It's just that I don't quite understand what 'appropriate' means to get along well."

That's right.

Through two dreams.

In fact, Rio Futaba had already noticed it.

Apart from her, the other eight people were actually very tolerant of each other.

However, in terms of interpersonal communication, Rio Futaba is far inferior to Sakuta Azusagawa.

That's why we're initiating these discussions today.

How to get along with the other eight...

To be honest, Sakuta Azusagawa is speechless about the current situation.

Nine girlfriends.

And unlike in TV dramas or romantic comedies, the nine girlfriends didn't engage in any "tug-of-war" or "battle" with each other; instead, they were more tolerant of one another...

Is there anything more outrageous than this in the world?

If so, it would probably be when you accidentally encounter a beautiful girl dressed as a bunny girl while browsing the National Library.

He shook his head, but still gave Rio Futaba his advice.

“If you accept each other, then communication won’t be so difficult. My advice is simply to ‘be true to yourself.’”

In interpersonal communication.

The most important thing is sincerity.

This sincerity doesn't mean hiding everything from friends, but rather offering your true self and genuinely communicating with them.

It was precisely because of this ability that Sakuta Azusagawa was able to become friends with Rio Futaba, who had a withdrawn personality.

"Should we be true to ourselves...?"

Rio Futaba murmured, recalling Sakuta Azusagawa's advice.

Then she looked up.

"Thank you, Azusagawa. I think I know what I should do."

She thanked him.

He then slowly rose from his seat, preparing to leave the place.

But he hadn't fully stood up yet.

Rio Futaba then heard Sakuta Azusagawa's voice.

"Wait, Futaba, there's something I want to ask you too."

Sakuta Azusagawa called out to Rio Futaba.

"...What is it?"

Although it was a bit strange, Rio Futaba stopped in her tracks.

"Actually, I'm also a bit interested in Nango."

Sakuta Azusagawa stood up and took the initiative to speak.

Although falling in love is Rio Futaba's freedom.

Nine girlfriends...

This situation is chaotic, in any sense.

As a friend, he couldn't just sit idly by.

At the very least, when he wanted to meet Nanxiang, he wanted to find out exactly what the other person's situation was.

He began by saying this.

On the other side, Rio Futaba's lips twitched slightly under his gaze, as if she was about to answer.

The next second—

"It is indeed a coincidence. I am also quite curious about Azusagawa."

A voice suddenly rang in my ear.

At the same time, a black-haired youth appeared before him, extending his palm to him.

"Hello, I am Nanxiang Shi."

"...Huh? Ah...Okay, hello, I'm Sakuta Azusagawa. 'Azusagawa' as in 'Azusagawa Service Area,' 'Sakuta' as in 'mouth on the left and gate on the right,' and 'Tai' as in 'sun.'"

Nanxiang was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Nanxiang.

But Sakuta Azusagawa quickly adjusted his mindset, and as he extended his palm, he raised his brown eyes.

He's really handsome...

Although I previously felt that some of the girls in my class who liked to talk about Nanxiang from time to time were exaggerating each other's appearances.

But after actually meeting him, Sakuta Azusagawa realized...

Those girls in class who praised Nanxiang Shi's appearance were absolutely right.

The man in front of me, Nanxiang, is indeed handsome and refined.

Compared to his other friend, Kunimi Yuuma, he had a more refined face and a well-proportioned, attractive height. His intellectual air, a result of his long-term immersion in reading...

Nanxiang Shi, standing in front of him, was the kind of handsome young man who would "keep an eye on your girlfriend."

Sakuta Azusagawa would readily believe that a male idol had accidentally escaped from a morning drama.

Putting aside other things.

Judging from his appearance alone, Sakuta Azusagawa felt that it wasn't particularly surprising that Nanago had nine girlfriends.

At this moment, Rio Futaba had obviously realized what was happening.

"Nanxiang-kun, what brings you here?"

Rio Futaba took a step or two forward, looking somewhat surprised.

It should be noted that Nango usually chatted with her in the school's science preparation room and at the shop 'RikoRiko' where she worked outside the school.

In both places, Rio Futaba would often make a cup of coffee for Toki Nanago, then rest her chin on her hand, sit to the side, and listen to Toki Nanago tell her all sorts of interesting stories she had heard on and off campus.

Besides the science preparation room and 'RicoRico'.

Nanxiang never interfered with anything else in her life again.

This is also what makes Rio Futaba satisfied with Nango Toki.

Even in her dreams, she and Nango were already husband and wife.

Despite being a science-oriented homebody, she also has her own goals and hobbies.

She doesn't like being restricted by others.

Nanxiang also did his best to give him all the freedom he could.

Like today, they proactively went to her classroom...

To be honest, this is truly the first time in history.

Rio Futaba would naturally raise questions.

"Ah...actually, I have something I want to talk to Rio about."

Upon hearing Rio Futaba's question, Toki Nanago smiled and gave her an answer.

He paused, then looked at Sakuta Azusagawa in front of him: "But... it seems that I interrupted your conversation. I'm very sorry."

"It's alright. My conversation with Futaba is over. On the contrary, I'm actually quite happy to see Nango-kun."

Sakuta Azusagawa coughed lightly, then continued:

"Actually, I just learned something incredible from Futaba... so I wanted to confirm it with you, Nango-kun."

He was listless and seemed unmotivated by anything. His voice was particularly polite, his movements were not very excited, and even his face had a smile on it.

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face.

Sakuta Azusagawa showed respect, so Toki Nanago naturally nodded and spoke:

"Please let Azusagawa speak."

Actually, it's like this...

Considering Nanxiang's reputation and the sensational nature of the topic of his nine girlfriends, he decided to leave.

Instead of immediately shouting out the whole story, Sakuta Azusagawa tactfully lowered his voice and recounted everything to Nango Toki in a low voice.

"Nine girlfriends... tolerant of each other... or is that what Rio said...?"

Listening to Sakuta Azusagawa's words.

Nanxiang did not show any embarrassment, nor did he try to hide anything.

"Rio wasn't wrong."

"...Why?"

Hearing Nango admit to it so readily, and seeing his calm expression, Azusagawa Sakuta was quite surprised.

He thought that even if he had accurately described the situation in Nanxiang, the other party would not hesitate to cover it up.

Unexpectedly, this never happened.

He admitted it so readily and decisively back in Nanxiang.

He was somewhat confused, and also somewhat surprised.
