He said, "That's not how it's said here either."

Goto Ichiri's gaze was drawn to the approaching face.

"Besides, I also want to learn guitar from Ichiri."

“You can also learn from other girls.”

"I think so too."

The face that had been so close to Nanxiang was pulled away.

Listen to his words.

Goto Ichiri felt a pulling, gripping pain in her heart, and her throat was unusually dry, making it impossible for her to speak.

"I only want you, I don't want anyone else."

Nango spoke slowly, and once again grasped Goto Ichiri's somewhat uneasy hand.

Goto Ichiri noticed the sincerity in his tone and the undisguised affection hidden behind his words.

"What's so good about someone like me?"

She had lost all her strength; these words were her last, feeble act of defiance.

"I should be the one saying that."

Nango Toki gripped Goto Ichiri's hand tightly with his right hand, while his left hand's fingers slowly stroked her face.

What exactly is wrong with you?

If she denies herself a hundred times, you'd be willing to affirm her a thousand, ten thousand times.

In the dark alleyway.

Her fair hand intertwined with Nanxiang's five fingers, holding them tightly together.

Is it because of the polluted air?

she thinks.

why...

Why is my heart beating so fast?

You comforted her and told her that you didn't care at all, that from the beginning you only wanted her, and that your vision was so narrow that it had never accommodated any other woman.

You and Goto Ichiri became lovers.

In the real world, Nango Toki, who had temporarily withdrawn from the world of memories, rubbed his forehead.

Things took a turn for the better than you expected.

Overall, in this simulation, I did successfully develop a romantic relationship with Goto Ichiri.

Although the scene of confessing one's love in a secluded alley may not be romantic.

But overall it was a success.

Although they successfully became lovers, Nango Toki did not show much joy on his face.

Because he had a vague feeling that things might not turn out so simply.

Behind the seemingly calm and composed confession lies an undeniable truth—Goto Ichiri's social anxiety.

In this simulation, his journey of getting to know, recognize, understand, and fall in love with Goto Ichiri was fraught with difficulties, but overall it went relatively smoothly.

However, the core of the problem, namely Goto Ichiri's social anxiety, has not been fully resolved.

But, putting all that aside...

Aside from her somewhat extreme social anxiety, Goto Ichiri is indeed a good woman.

Thinking of this, Nanxiang Shi shook his head and immersed himself in the simulation again.

He wanted to continue to observe how things developed.

You and Goto Ichiri became a couple, but nothing changed; the rumors at school continued. Perhaps it would have been better to suppress them from the beginning.

Faced with this situation, as if she had made up her mind, she told you one day that she had decided to leave the band.

Although you expressed your disapproval of her decision, she also has an unexpectedly stubborn side to her personality, and this is the first time you haven't been able to persuade your girlfriend.

After leaving the band, Goto Ichiri had significantly more free time. She put down her beloved guitar and began learning about social skills and interpersonal relationships online and in magazines, as well as fashion and makeup.

Under the influence of these things, Goto Ichiri, whose appearance was already outstanding, gained the attention of many.

To keep up with your pace, she worked hard in her studies, but her grades had never been ideal, so the results were minimal. You never looked down on her and patiently tutored her.

Similarly, you vaguely sense that a large part of the reason your girlfriend has made such a huge change is because of you.

On campus, the previous rumors and gossip have largely subsided.

With her outstanding looks, diligent communication skills, earnest attempts to befriend everyone, and gentle smile, Goto Ichiri has earned everyone's approval.

She put her arm around Nanxiang's shoulder, her lovely face drawing attention.

Everyone was happy that Nanxiang had such a beautiful and lovely girlfriend.

Even Nango himself felt that his girlfriend, who had worked hard to change for him, was so radiant.

Perhaps the overly favorable environment prevented you from considering that it's very difficult for a person to undergo such a dramatic change in such a short period of time.

Time flies.

On the night of your high school graduation, Goto Ichiri asked you out.

That night, her shy nature showed you what it's like to satisfy a woman in every possible way.

Your relationship with Goto Ichiri has progressed further.

You understand Goto Ichiri better now.

Chapter 8. You, in dire financial straits

[At night, lying in bed, you turn your head to look at your girlfriend, who habitually curls up in a small ball while sleeping, nestled against your chest. So endearing.]

You can give up everything else, but she's the only one you must cherish. You make up your mind and gently reach out to embrace her slender body.

Your movements startled her awake, and Goto Ichiri, who was lying beside the pillow, blushed. She remained as shy as ever, not daring to look up at you.

[At this point, you mentioned her participation in a band during her first year of high school. You've always felt guilty about your girlfriend giving up the band and her favorite guitar, and you know that you were a large part of the reason Goto Ichiri made that decision.]

In response to your guilt, Goto Ichiri simply held your hand gently and suggested that you go for a walk.

You agreed to be with her, and the two of you went to the park. Goto Ichiri took your arm and gently advised you not to dwell on the past.

The nights in Tokyo are not deep; the black curtain of night stretches outwards.

Neon lights add color to the curtain.

The whole city is pulsating with energy.

As Nango walked forward, Goto Ichiri's slightly warm breath brushed against his shoulder.

"Ah Shi, do you still remember the days when I taught you to practice guitar back in school?"

Under the lamplight, the two nestled close together, and Goto Ichiri's voice, tinged with a hint of reminiscence, drifted over.

"Ah."

Nanxiang nodded, then let out a soft sigh.

He knew best why his girlfriend gave up the guitar and the band activities.

He was about to speak.

His girlfriend's finger gently stopped at his lips.

"I have never regretted it."

Under the lamplight, Goto Ichiri looked up at his face, the edges of which were slightly transparent.

She spoke very seriously.

"Giving up the guitar and giving up band activities were all my own wishes, and had nothing to do with Ah Shi. I have never regretted it."

His girlfriend's gentle words of comfort only made Nanxiang shake his head: "But that's your dream."

He knew perfectly well how hard Goto Ichiri had worked for his dream.

Ichiri Goto has been dreaming since junior high school that she practices guitar so hard that her fingertips develop calluses. One day, through her own efforts, she will perform on stage and gain everyone's attention.

But the girl tied herself to him and stayed by his side.

Seemingly sensing Nango's guilt, Goto Ichiri gently hugged him.

A few snowflakes drifted down from the night sky.

Goto Ichiri didn't know how to comfort Nango Toki, so she could only tilt her small face up and look at Nango Toki.

He said repeatedly in an awkward, very soft voice, "It's okay, it's fine."

The night is already deep.

You and Goto Ichiri are snuggled together, standing on the park's observation deck looking down.

Below, the sky is ablaze with lights, a tapestry of fireworks and countless homes illuminated by lanterns.

A huge crowd...

【Incredible World】342967465

The light casts a shadow of a girl's dream.

Nango Toki and Goto Ichiri snuggled even closer together.

You look at the beautiful young woman beside you. She now belongs only to you, willingly remaining within the exquisitely crafted golden cage you've woven for her. To her, you are far more important than any vague dream. So important that she's willing to give up everything just to stay by your side.

You know this perfectly well, but you don't want it to be this way because you can sense the genuine regret in the girl's voice. You've made a decision.

As expected, you, now a senior in high school, were admitted to a prestigious university. However, instead of enrolling as everyone anticipated, you chose an unknown university.

You erased all traces of yourself from Goto Ichiri's life, disappearing from her world.

[For this reason, Goto Ichiri searched for you frantically, but you had prepared too much for this day, meticulously planning everything to completely eliminate any way she could find you. When she arrived at your house, she only found an empty room, a brand-new, natural wood guitar, and a farewell letter left on the table.]
