My Romance Simulation with Them

"Yes, I talked to them yesterday, and they seem to have chosen a coffee shop near Yucha High School."

As Akane Shinjo spoke, she glanced at her phone again.

Today I have the last two exams of the semester.

At most, it'll only last for a whole morning.

In other words, Yucha High School will be closed for the holidays at noon today.

Therefore, setting the meeting time with Shinjo's parents at noon is perfectly fine.

"Akane."

Nanxiang put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Is everything alright?"

Is everything alright...?

This refers to more than just the final exams at Yucha High School.

It mainly refers to the fact that Akane Shinjo is about to face her parents.

Even with simulated base layering.

But reality and simulation are ultimately different.

Listening to Nanxiang's question.

"No problem, Toki-kun."

Akane Shinjo raised her head and answered in this way.

There should be no lie in this statement.

At first glance, one could sense the determination in the girl's voice.

If it were the old Akane Shinjo, she would probably still be hesitant and indecisive now.

But now she... has really changed a lot.

Nanxiang didn't say anything more, he just nodded.

"it is good."

......

When the last school bell rang at Yucha High School in the afternoon.

Sitting in a café near Ocha High School, Shinjo's father and mother knew perfectly well that Ocha High School's final exams were over.

In other words, next, that person... his daughter, whom he rarely, if ever, inquired about, Akane Shinjo, will come here.

"It's unbelievable."

Looking at the documents in her hand, Shinjo's mother frowned: "He actually started dating a boy from the same school without our knowledge. Does that child even have any regard for us, his parents?"

Shinjo's father didn't say much in response to his wife's words.

Akane Shinjo was raised by Yuka Karasawa from a young age, so it's somewhat ironic that his wife talks about "parents" now.

He just looked thoughtfully at the information about Nanxiang in his hand.

This dark-haired young man is dating his daughter.

His academic performance was almost perfect, making him a promising candidate for the University of Tokyo.

According to the school, Nanxiang Shi was considered an extremely outstanding student.

Furthermore, the other person is not lacking in social skills and is not the kind of bookworm who only knows how to study.

In addition to other miscellaneous talents...

Even if the other person comes from a rural area like Akita Prefecture.

They are exceptional talents, one in a hundred.

Therefore, compared to the importance of bringing such promising talents as Nanxiang Shi into the Xintiao family.

Akane Shinjo's cowardice and inability to carry the Shinjo family banner are no longer so important.

Even what might happen next.

Shinjo's father had already rehearsed everything in his mind.

First, following his own rhythm, he frightened Shinjo Akane as usual, and then extended an olive branch to Nango Toki.

As long as Nanxiang Shi is willing to marry into the Xintiao family.

So they agreed to let him date Akane Shinjo and provided him with financial assistance.

This is the so-called "stick and date" strategy.

Among these.

Akane Shinjo's wishes are actually the least important factor.

Because of their understanding of Akane Shinjo.

As long as I meet them.

This daughter, who usually pretends to be sunny and cheerful on campus, will immediately reveal her true colors, becoming timid and hesitant, not daring to speak loudly.

Shinjo's father thus mentally planned out what he needed to do next.

Meanwhile, he sipped his coffee with a detached expression, waiting for his daughter to bring Nanxiang Shi to their door.

The wait wasn't long.

About ten minutes later.

A welcoming bell rang out.

A girl with pinkish-purple hair led a young man with short black hair into the coffee shop.

It was Shinjo Akane and Nango Toki who had just arrived.

Upon seeing the two of them.

Shinjo's father then regained some spirits.

However, he maintained a calm demeanor and only spoke after the two had sat down:

"This must be Nango-kun, right?"

As a father, he did not proactively inquire about his daughter's condition.

Instead, they first turned their attention to Nanxiang.

However, he considered this perfectly normal.

Even so, he adopted such a cold attitude.

His daughter, Shinjo Akane, who always obeyed his arrangements, dared not resist him at all.

All he wants now is to communicate with Nanxiang Shi as soon as possible and bring this rare talent onto the Xintiao family's boat.

however--

"Before you talk to Shi Jun, I also have something I want to say to you."

Akane Shinjo, who had been silent throughout her time inside the cafe, suddenly spoke up.

Her direct approach surprised Shinjo's father and mother.

You should know that, from childhood to adulthood, whenever Akane Shinjo sees the two of them, she will never have the slightest thought of speaking to them.

Obedience and subservience have always been the main themes of Shinjo Akane.

But this time...

The other person actually spoke up first?

Surprised by Akane's change, Shinjo's father frowned and looked at her.

He only relented when he realized that Shinjo Akane was looking at him with those calm, crimson eyes:

"You said."

This is truly an ironic situation.

When she was gentle and submissive to her parents' arrangements, Akane Shinjo never had the right to speak up in front of them.

But when she adopted a tough attitude and an uncompromising tone...

Shinjo's parents' tone softened.

Akane Shinjo felt the same way.

Her parents' attitude made her sigh deeply, and it finally made her speak as if she had made up her mind.

What I'm about to say is actually a good thing for both of you.

Akane Shinjo took Nango Toki's hand and secretly glanced at him.

After receiving a slight nod of permission from the other party.

The girl with pinkish-purple hair finally spoke: "I want to leave the Shinjo family."

The moment those words were spoken...

This caused a change in the expressions of Shinjo's parents, who had been completely calm just moments before.

Shinjo's father's expression changed from indifference to a furrowed brow.

His eyes lifted and lowered, as if he could hardly believe that his usually timid daughter would say such a thing.

Meanwhile, Shinjo's mother's actions were even more exaggerated.

She stood up abruptly, her face full of disbelief: "Are you serious? Even if it's a joke, you can't just say things like that."

Shinjo's mother seemed offended by Shinjo Akane in front of her, her voice filled with reproach.

It seems they want to regain control of the narrative through this behavior.

You should know that the person in front of you is Akane Shinjo.

That weak daughter who has never resisted their arrangements since birth.

How dare you say such a thing at this moment?
