My Romance Simulation with Them

She looked at the black-haired young man in front of her with some disbelief.

But soon, Goto Ichiri seemed to understand something.

She blinked, trying to mask her panic with a calm voice:

"Ah, Ah Shi, you're playing tricks on me again, aren't you? Let me tell you, I won't fall for it this time."

That's right!

He liked to tease her when he was in Nanxiang.

This time, it might be Nanxiang Shi secretly plotting again, just waiting for her to take the bait.

But this time she won't be so foolish.

I'm not going to be foolish enough to fall for that trap again.

Thinking this through, she made it clear that she would never be fooled.

however--

"Who's joking with you?"

Nango couldn't help but glance at Goto Ichiri.

This pink-haired girl is always not smart when she should be.

He was incredibly clever when he shouldn't have been.

"Perhaps Aunt Michiyo intended to joke at the time, but I never said I was joking from beginning to end."

Nanxiang shook his head in response.

His words reminded Goto Ichiri of what Nango had said earlier.

"Ichiri, can't you see yet? Aunt Michiyo is actually joking with me."

There was definitely no element of joking in that statement.

"I...Ashi...you..."

Upon learning of Nango Toki's thoughts, Goto Ichiri instantly felt his face flush.

She couldn't help but take two steps back.

But the more she retreated...

On the other side, Nanxiang Shi advanced without hesitation, while also remarking:

"To be honest, I thought we could quickly move on to the point of getting engaged to Ichiri."

"Engaged?!"

The surprised tone lingered.

Upon hearing this word, Goto Ichiri completely lost her composure, and her expression became erratic.

got engaged...?

Her?

When was she with Nanxiang?

really?

The girl looked like she was about to smile, but the smile was only half revealed. The other side was filled with astonishment and surprise, causing her facial expressions to become somewhat disordered.

"......" Nanxiang time.

Nango glanced at Ms. Goto with a somewhat speechless expression.

This was only a brief mention of 'engagement'.

You should know that Chizuka Nishiki has already signed a marriage agreement with him.

However, when it comes to reaction time, he's not even half as exaggerated as Goto Ichiri in front of him.

The other person's expression immediately started to crumble.

Looking at Goto Ichiri like this, Nango Toki shook his head while also unable to suppress a smile.

The pink-haired girl hasn't changed much from then until now.

This is an interesting reaction.

He could only find it in Goto Ichiri.

how to say.

The other person's reaction gave me the urge to drag her into a dark, damp alley where no one could see her... and to bully her mercilessly.

However, this is just an idea after all.

You should know that Nanxiang Shi has always been a model young man who can control his desires and is of noble and pure character.

How could I possibly do that kind of thing to Goto Ichiri?

Even if Nango knew, and even if he really did it, Goto Ichiri wouldn't resist at all...

cough cough.

We've gone off on a tangent.

With that in mind, Nango Toki turned his gaze back to Goto Ichiri.

After a period of internal struggle just now.

Goto Ichiri seems to have calmed down again.

However, it was because of what Nanxiang said earlier.

She was still a little embarrassed to look at him, and only dared to peek at him through the gap in her overly long bangs.

While in the south, I suddenly thought of clouds and stars.

Her overly long bangs were like the hazy clouds in the night sky, obscuring the gentle starlight hidden behind them.

When I was in Nanxiang, I really wanted to see the stars.

So he slowly reached out and brushed aside the bangs on Goto Ichiri's forehead.

"Ah...Ah Shi..."

A shy voice escaped her lips.

However, Goto Ichiri did not stop Nango Toki's actions.

She couldn't stop the other person's actions, nor did she want to.

Those blue eyes, more dazzling and trembling than starlight.

It was revealed the moment she brushed her bangs aside in Nanxiang.

Seeing the girl's evasive eyes, Nango Toki laughed.

"Indeed, Ichiri looks much prettier like this than when most of her face is covered up."

It's somewhat different from the cute way that animation uses.

In real life, Goto Ichiri has very long bangs.

It hung down, almost completely obscuring a third of her face.

This is also true.

A beautiful girl like her has remained unknown at Ocha High School.

Gloomy, ghostly, seems like a weirdo, hunchbacked.

Such words were irrationally and inappropriately applied to her.

However, if these people are willing to look closely, they will be able to discover it.

The beauty of Goto Ichiri before me is astounding...

Thinking of this, Nanxiang couldn't help but speak up.

"Yili, what I just said was not a lie or meant to tease you."

"Um..."

Goto Ichiri nodded.

At this point, how could she not understand what Nanxiang Shi meant?

Since the other party didn't mean to joke.

That means...

"My thoughts and attitude have already been fully revealed. So... Ichiri, what about you?"

Nango Toki slowly grasped Goto Ichiri's hand.

It's probably because of winter.

Goto Ichiri's palms felt somewhat cold.

It feels like cool jade when held in the palm of your hand.

The sounds from Nanxiang did not stop.

"Although you have already agreed to go to Akita Prefecture with me... I know that your mother has partly to blame. I don't want your mother's help to influence your judgment, so I'd like to ask you this question again."

The sound stopped.

"Goto Ichiri, will you come with me to Akita Prefecture to meet my family and get engaged to me?"

It's not a question of 'whether I'm willing', but rather 'whether I can't'.

The change in sentence structure made Goto Ichiri raise his head.

Under the streetlights.

She could clearly see Nango's current expression.

The usual joking smile was gone.

He no longer possessed the ease and confidence he once had.
