My Romance Simulation with Them

He probably really wanted to tell Ijichi Seika and Ijichi Nijika the truth.

But the truth is quite cruel.

Giving them hope, only to shatter that hope in the end, is inherently cruel to them.

Nango must have been considering the feelings of Ijichi Seika and Ijichi Nijika, and thus had to go against his conscience and tell a lie.

He offered solace to Ijichi Seika and Ijichi Nijika, while silently swallowing the cruel truth himself.

It's not just Xingge and Hongxia who are suffering; Nango Toki should also be among them.

Nanxiang did not speak.

He simply looked up at the incandescent light bulb hanging overhead.

After a long while, he shook his head, sighed, and reached out to rub Goto Ichiri's head.

"Thank you, Goto-san."

Looking at Goto Ichiri, who was trembling slightly with fear of death, but was still holding his hand tightly.

Social anxiety, extreme shyness, low self-esteem and self-harm; aside from his good looks, good family background, and guitar skills, his personality is a complete mess.

But at this moment, Nango Toki finally understood.

The reason why the dating simulator chose Goto Ichiri as the first simulation object.

She is sensitive and, despite her social anxiety, she still cares deeply for others and tries hard to change.

So that others can also take the initiative to stand up.

This quality alone is invaluable.

Chapter 67. I Don't Want to Die Alone (4000 words!)

Goto Ichiri, who kept her head down, actually had a lot more to say.

One was to comfort Nango Toki, and the other was the words Nango Toki spoke with Ijichi Seika and Ijichi Nijika.

Nango clearly only met Ijichi Hoshika and Ijichi Nijika in the last couple of days.

Since he doesn't have the ability of a medium, why does he know so much about the affairs of Ijichi Hoshika and Ijichi Nijika's mother?

It's like how Nango knew Ijichi Seika and Ijichi Nijika a long time ago.

That's why we can make inferences and judgments based on what they say.

This caught the attention of Goto Ichiri.

A bold idea came to her mind.

Could it be... that Senior Nango is like me?

Some new memories have also appeared in my mind?

If that's the case, then the part about marrying Senior Nango that inexplicably appeared in my memories...

No, no, no, how could that be? How could such a good thing exist in the world?

Goto Ichiri, who was sweeping the floor with his head down, seemed a little uneasy, glancing every now and then in the direction of Nango Toki, who had just come down from the second-floor kitchen.

She was clumsy; even with observation, she couldn't detect any change in Nanxiang's expression or tone.

Nango, who had already finished making the hamburger patties, sat down at the Starry Night bar while yawning, propping his face up with his left hand and flipping through the paperback book beside him with the other.

Under the lights, his handsome features were very deep, making him look more like a noble young man who had come to the mortal world for a leisurely stroll.

Goto Ichiri couldn't help but scratch his head.

For some reason, she always felt a strange itch in her heart.

"What are you doing? Are you lonely?"

Having composed herself, Ichiji Seika looked over curiously: "Nango made your portion too, come and eat, aren't we going to practice later?"

"Ah...oh, it's coming right now."

Upon hearing Ichika's voice, Goto Ichiri quickly finished sweeping the floor before huffing and puffing as he sat down at the table.

On the table, a set meal, as exquisite as that sold in restaurants, was already laid out.

The black pepper sauce dripped onto the textured meat patty, giving both sides of the beef patty an enticing brown color.

It's served with rice, and the side dish is a vegetable salad to cut through the richness.

But unlike the people around her, Goto Ichiri's plate had an extra plate of delicate tamagoyaki, steaming hot and garnished with seaweed flakes, making it very tempting.

Goto Ichiri subconsciously swallowed.

Although she had already eaten before coming over, she still couldn't resist picking up a tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet) and putting it in her mouth.

There wasn't much commentary, but the wide eyes hidden behind pink bangs and the drawn-out "mmm" from the delicious taste said it all.

"Although it's still as delicious as ever, Nango-kun, why is it that only the lonely one has tamagoyaki?"

Normally, Ms. PA is mature, composed, and elegant, but she couldn't maintain that composure at the moment. The difference in treatment she received during her visit to Nango made her point to Goto Ichiri's plate.

"I made it based on my mood."

"Is that really a reason?"

Miss PA propped her chin on her hand and pouted cutely: "This is your preference for loneliness."

"Ah...yes, that's right, Ms. PA, you're right."

While flipping through the paperback edition of Nango, she showed no embarrassment whatsoever from being teased by the mature older woman.

Instead, he put down the book, turned his handsome face to Goto Ichiri who was about to take her second bite, and gave her a clean smile: "I like you, Goto-kun."

"Hey?!"

Do you like me too? Will you go out with me?

"I...I...I...I...I..."

When should we register our marriage?

"Ah... um... okay."

Before one problem was solved, another was raised. Goto Ichiri subconsciously opened his mouth and nodded in agreement.

"Nanxiang, you can be really awful at times."

Seeing that the timid Goto Ichiri had been bullied by Nango Toki into agreeing to confess her feelings, Iji Tomo Seika pinched the bridge of her nose in exasperation.

"Manager."

With a gentle expression and clean-cut appearance, Nango, who tucked the paperback under his arm, looked like a learned scholar.

He looked at Ichika Hoshika, his clean and handsome profile drawing closer: "I like you, please go out with me?"

"Well?!"

The sudden attack caused a blush to rise on the face of Ijichi Seika, who was over twenty-nine and still single.

Her pretty face turned incredulously toward the black-haired youth in front of her.

When she saw the smile on his face, the naive 29-year-old single woman realized she had been tricked by a high school sophomore.

The older single woman expressed her anger and embarrassment:

"Do you want me to kick you out, Nanxiang?"

"Just kidding."

Nango waved his hand, then opened the paperback again and slowly began to read it.

"This guy..."

With her face flushed red, Ijichi Seika stepped back, whether out of embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell.

She said indignantly, "He'll definitely be a bad man who can deceive young girls with a straight face in the future."

"Mmm—this is delicious too."

Taking a bite of the meat patty, feeling the unique texture of the black pepper sauce and the hand-chopped beef, Ichiji Nijika squinted her eyes happily.

I must say, the food Nanxiang made was indescribably delicious, even though the ingredients and seasonings were so ordinary.

I really don't know how they managed to do that.

Then she looked at Nanxiang with curiosity and asked, "Nanxiang-san, what are you looking at?"

"Shinzo Mitsuda's 'Nothing That Causes Evil'".

Is it pretty?

"generally."

"Yeah...?"

As Ichiki Nigatsu watched Nango's fingers flipping through the pages, she couldn't help but ask, "You're flipping through so fast... have you already finished reading it all?"

"Well, it's probably a talent. I can read very quickly, and I can remember most of the content."

After finishing reading Nango, he put the paperback down.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, Ijichi Seika next to her burst into a hearty laugh.

"boast."

Nanxiang reads faster than she flips through a book, how could she possibly remember that state?

That's a joke.

Nango Toki didn't say much in response to the obvious distrust and mockery from the older single woman. He simply handed the paperback in his hand to Ijichi Nijika, indicating that she could give him any question.

"Uh... that... the second part of what Mother said in Chapter One, Thirteen Nights of Ceremony?"

Ichi Nijika hesitated for a moment, but still respected Nango Toki's opinion and gave a relatively simple paragraph.

"It's the part where the evil spirit first appeared, right? I remember it was 'Can't you see it? Look, Dad is right there, Dad without a head.'"

From Ichi Nijika's perspective, Nango Toki seemed to speak without any thought whatsoever.

"Uh...yes."
