Before I knew it, I had already completed six in Nanxiang.

And during this period.

Nango had been pondering the role of the 'heart of love', but ultimately came up empty-handed.

Even though we've collected more than half of the materials, there's still no effect whatsoever.

but--

"If this dream was caused by these 'loves'..."

Nanxiang hesitated for a moment, his clear, bright eyes sweeping over the 'Heart of Love' before him.

Dreams are caused by 'love'.

Ultimately, this is just speculation.

After all, what I just had was a dream, a dream that was more real than my usual dreams.

Thinking this, Nanxiang Shi shook his head, temporarily putting his guess aside, and got up to wash up.

Today he is going to 'RicoLico'.

It's not for collecting 'Hearts of Love'.

Rather, it was due to exam preparations, and the fact that Chizuka and Takina had indeed been neglected for a period of time.

Nango Toki planned to spend the next few days at 'RikoRiko' before heading to Akita Prefecture, and also take the opportunity to invite Chizuka, Takina, and Matsuzaka Satou to go to Akita Prefecture with him.

After all, the collection of 'Heart of Love' can be completed at any time.

"There's no need to rush."

Yes.

There's no need to rush at all—

After washing up and changing into her outer coat, Nanxiang raised her hand.

Go outside!

Head to 'RicoRico'!

Then...

"what?"

Nanxiang made a slightly surprised sound.

He was standing in front of the store manager, Mika.

And beside him.

Chizuka Nishiki was staring at him with a grin.

Inoue Takina couldn't help but sigh, but she still looked at Nango with gentle eyes.

But aside from the two of them.

Right behind him, Matsuzaka Satou blinked her clear, pink eyes, feeling a little curious about Nango Toki and the Chizuka-neechan and Takina-neechan she had seen in her dream...

But none of these are actually the most important.

the most important is--

System notification: The host has collected the heart of love of a young girl (future).

System notification: The host has collected the heart of a young girl (Quiet).

System notification: The host has collected the pure love heart of a young girl.

The simulation page suddenly displayed three prompts.

This left Nango Toki, who had originally planned to slowly observe the effects of 'Heart of Love' and was not interested in rushing into things, speechless.

The main reason is that he never thought of it.

Besides Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue... Satou Matsuzaka also appears in 'Ricorik'...

The original plan was to proceed at a slower pace... but it has suddenly advanced to this point.

Nango was speechless with emotion, and at the same time, he thought of the scene when he first came to 'Rikorik'.

......

From the 'Starry Sky' room in Nango, I came to 'Rikorik'.

You need to take a tram and then walk nearly 500 meters into the residential area to reach this coffee shop hidden in the nearby residential area.

This process takes more than forty minutes.

Within Tokyo, a city with well-developed transportation infrastructure.

The time and distance aren't particularly far.

After getting off the tram in Nanxiang, I walked a short distance forward.

Then the iconic signboard of 'RicoRico' appeared in front of him.

This is completely different from the previous sluggish business situation.

Under Nango's tutelage, Inoue Takina, who already had a certain talent for cooking, was able to take over the 'Riko Riko' to a certain extent.

Even now, 'RicoRico' is only around 10 o'clock.

A considerable number of people were there, sipping coffee and enjoying desserts.

This change is quite significant.

Nanxiang watched all of this with satisfaction.

Even without him, 'RicoRico' is now able to operate normally.

Very good, excellent.

Thinking this way.

They walked inwards from the south.

A crisp welcoming bell rang out.

At the same time, a girl's enthusiastic and lively voice rang out, seemingly capable of infecting everyone around her.

"Welcome, sir. May I ask how many are in your party... Ah... Toki-kun!"

It started with a sunny and cheerful greeting, which later turned into a surprised exclamation from a blonde girl.

"You're here?"

She 'jumped' joyfully to Nanxiang Shi's side, her bright red eyes, like flickering flames, fixed on him.

"Ah."

Just looking at the Thousand Brocade Trees in front of me can make me feel all the gloomy clouds of the day disappear.

Nango nodded, reached out and patted her head, glanced around, and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, where's Takina?"

The black-haired Inoue Takina did not stand in front of the counter to greet customers.

Looking closely, it seems that the black-haired figure is not visible backstage.

This made Nanxiang Shi somewhat puzzled.

When he wasn't around, 'RikoRiko' should have been cooked by Takina Inoue.

Although no new customers came in.

But then the other party suddenly disappeared...

This doesn't seem like something Inoue Takina would do no matter how you look at it.

Nanxiang seemed a little strange, his eyes scanning around.

He noticed Nanxiang's gaze sweeping around.

Chizuka Nishiki chuckled.

Her lively eyes sparkled: "You don't need to worry about Takina at all, Toki-kun. Since you're here too, I should be able to give you a big surprise."

"surprise...?"

Nanxiang raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jinmu Qianshu.

He noticed that the other person had a smug smile on their face.

It's as if this blonde-haired girl in front of me is secretly doing something behind my back.

This made Nanxiang Shi raise his eyebrows.

Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively reached out and pinched the girl's fair and soft cheeks:

"Chizuka, what exactly are you planning?"

"No no no!"

Chizuka Nishiki's eyes widened: "N-no! I wasn't planning anything!"

This is undoubtedly a lie.

Just now, the blonde-haired girl was staring at his face, secretly laughing at something.

So now nothing has happened?

Nanxiang didn't believe it at all.

However, since we can't get anything out of her for the time being, let's change our approach for now.

Where is Takina?

Releasing his fingers from Chizuka Nishiki's cheeks, Nango asked a question.

"Hmm...it's with Manager Mika."

Chizuka Nishiki rubbed her slightly flushed cheeks.

This time, she didn't try to hide anything and told the truth.

"Oh—so, the thing you wanted to secretly plan with Takina, Chizuka, is related to Uncle Mika?"
