This is probably the last way you'll remember that sunny girl.

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

The birth of a child is probably a good thing for anyone, but that's except for you.

While you were overjoyed, you also noticed something: unlike other pregnant women, your wife seemed unusually weak after giving birth.

She often coughs all night long and can't sleep, tossing and turning.

To hide her unusual behavior from you, she, who had never worn makeup or used any cosmetics before, picked up a foundation she had never used before for the first time.

She tried to hide her unnatural complexion with makeup, but of course, her poor makeup skills couldn't be hidden from you.

You took her to the hospital for a checkup, only to discover that her pregnancy symptoms were extremely severe, making her previously healthy body exceptionally vulnerable after childbirth.

Seeing your wife's increasingly frail face, all you can do is stay by her side.

Misfortune has befallen you twice.

During the time she was still able to move around, you filmed many videos for Chizuka Nango.

[Nango Takina wanted to use these videos to tell her daughter that she truly loves her.]

You respected her wishes, but during filming, watching her grow increasingly weak and repeatedly lose consciousness, you were in so much pain that you wanted to stop filming.

But in the end, despite his wife's stubborn gaze, you still managed to finish filming all the videos.

[Shortly after the video was filmed, Takina Inoue passed away under your gaze.]

Misfortune has befallen you twice.

After Inoue Takina's death, you felt as if a piece of your heart was missing, and a sense of depression lingered in your chest.

Watching your daughter grow up, you've thought about being strong for her sake and actively cooperating with the therapist's treatment.

But ultimately, no one can withstand two devastating blows in their lifetime.

Three years later, you succumbed to depression and passed away in sorrow.

Before her death, Riko's companions came to your side and said they would raise Nanago Chizuka.

[Nango Chizuka lay on top of you, crying and calling your name in a childish voice.]

You felt a strong sense of reluctance, but ultimately closed your eyes and passed away peacefully.

[Simulation ended.]

Chapter 83. Miss Yamada, you really... (4100 words)

[Simulation ended.]

[System Score: 65 points.]

[System Evaluation: In the next life, she will not be your only love.]

Your meeting with her was completely accidental. Full of energy, she was always so radiant. To find out the purpose and source of her regret, you took the initiative and launched your pursuit.

You went to great lengths, devising all sorts of schemes, but your relationship with her encountered some obstacles. Ultimately, however, your carefully laid plans softened her guard; she couldn't resist your advances and became your lover.

During that time, you stood at the bar watching her busy figure, your gentle gaze like a glimpse into your next life.

But in the end, even with her blonde hair, she couldn't pull through.

Without her, your days are like a harsh winter. You don't want spring or summer, nor do you need the distant future; you just want her every single moment. But this wish ultimately remains just that—a wishful thought. You've fallen into an inescapable slump, sitting in the room where she once lived, your mind filled with countless thoughts.

[The one who saved you at that time was the one who knocked on your door...and also knocked on the door of your heart—the black-haired girl.]

She takes care of your daily life and lectures you when you're feeling down.

Unbeknownst to you, her earnestness, focus, and meticulousness have made her a second pillar of your life. You hold her in your arms, determined to protect her.

Life is short, but the moment of death is forever frozen in time.

She sadly passed away in your arms after giving birth to her daughter in her youth.

You don't understand why the same devastating blows have struck you twice, stripping you of all happiness and warmth. Your mental state is much worse than before, and although you actively cooperate with therapy, it's ultimately to no avail.

No one can withstand two devastating blows in life.

You are forever frozen at the age of twenty-eight, your heart filled only with regrets for your daughter and for them.

Even knowing it will lead to regret, perhaps you will still fall in love with them again when you meet them in the next life.

“I cannot accept this.”

After reading the system evaluation, I felt the painful and sorrowful memories in my mind.

In reality, Nango Toki finally couldn't hold back his frustrated voice.

Yes.

depressed.

Very depressed!

what's up?

Why did they all hold hands and get their lunchboxes together?

Nanxiang rolled out of bed; he truly couldn't understand it.

What he couldn't understand the most was—

"Why is it that no matter which option you choose, the ending is always full of regrets?"

And this time it's even more outrageous.

Not only did Chitsuka Nishiki pass away, but her close friend Takina Inoue also did not live long.

The system only gave him a score of 60 this time because he and Nishiki Chizuka became lovers.

However, from Nango Toki's perspective, this ending is even harder to accept than the 34-minute ending where he marries Ms. Yamada.

At least he was happy in his married life when he married Ms. Yamada.

In the end, everyone died with regrets.

No one's wishes were fulfilled, no one's expectations were fulfilled, and everything was buried underground with regret.

What Nanxiang found most unacceptable was that this time he had clearly chosen the correct option.

But in the end, it still led to failure.

This really upset him.

"Let's take a good look at the reasons that led to this outcome."

Nanxiang shook his head, concealing the regretful memories in his mind, and began to think.

In this simulation, he chose to tail and follow Chizuka Nishiki at the start, and both of these choices should be perfectly fine.

He successfully unlocked the new scene 'RicoRico'.

Furthermore, her relationship with Chizuka Nishiki improved through their work.

The progress is far slower than the snail's pace of the first playthrough.

Everything should have been better.

Ultimately, Chizuka Nishiki also succumbed to the ravages of congenital heart disease and passed away prematurely.

Only then, in a state of deep sorrow, did he approach Inoue Takina...

"In other words, no matter what I choose, no matter how the options change, as long as I can't change the fact that Chizuki Nishiki died from congenital heart disease, it will ultimately lead to a regrettable ending?"

After clarifying the cause and effect, Nanxiang Shi finally realized how tricky this simulation was.

If it is impossible to save Chizuka Nishiki's life, then the ending will inevitably lead to regret.

Nanxiang rubbed his temples.

The initial exhilaration of "winning in one life" had completely vanished by now.

After all, he had used up two simulation opportunities, and so far he hadn't even gotten close to a happy ending.

Instead of recklessly continuing the simulation, he summarized the existing information and experience, and focused his attention on the item section of the dating simulator's shop.

There, the panacea with 900 points of charm is radiating an alluring glow.

What follows is its brief but concise explanation—

[Universal Healing Pill (900 Points): After consumption, it can cure any theoretically incurable external injury or disease.]

Nanxiang shook his head.

For someone with only around 1200 Heart Points, a 900-point Panacea is indeed very expensive.

But there was little hesitancy in what he had to do.

Strictly speaking, Nango Toki knew he wasn't a pushover, but he wasn't so heartless as to stand by and watch a young woman die prematurely from illness—especially when he still had the ability to save her.

This is not entirely due to simulation.

More than anything, it was his most basic conscience.

If Nango knew that Chizuka Nishiki would die from illness, but chose to stand idly by, he felt that he would probably live with the torment of his conscience for the rest of his life.

but...

The problem is coming again.

Nango recalled the time when he and Yamada Ryo were simulating their father.

The other person died due to sudden lung failure and inability to breathe.

Although he had already reminded Ms. Yamada to pay attention to her father's health.

But what if the other person's body is actually beyond saving at this stage?

There's only one panacea available for now, but who should we give it to?

The balance on both sides began to wobble, and although Nanxiang didn't want to think about it, he had no choice but to consider the issue.

It was precisely while he was thinking that he did so.

His phone, which he had been keeping charging on his bedside table, suddenly rang with a LINE message notification.
