My Romance Simulation with Them

"Welcome... uh?"

Just as Nakahara Mizuki was about to speak, she froze for a second.

There was no other reason than that the young man who had just barged into the store was simply too good-looking; his eyes, which looked to the side, had an indescribable sense of cleanliness and purity.

Even a simple outfit like a white shirt on top and black casual pants on the bottom, which is extremely rough and lacks any distinctive features.

All of this gave her a refreshing and novel feeling.

But the next second, a loud 'clang' and the screeching sound of someone standing up from the chair shattered that refreshing feeling.

At the same time, a cool and languid blue-haired girl stood up and walked in front of the young man.

"hour!"

"Ok?"

The young man called 'Time' paused for a moment under Mizuki Nakahara's gaze.

Under everyone's gaze, the blue-haired girl's indifferent and languid face slowly melted. She raised her head, her amber eyes looking at the black-haired youth in front of her, as if she had a thousand words to say.

But in the end, all the sorrow and longing dissipated, leaving only one sentence.

"Give me the money, 1,500 yen."

The blue-haired girl opened her fair and delicate palms, her face full of seriousness.

"..." The black-haired youth.

As soon as he said this, he couldn't help but glance at the blue-haired girl in front of him, and then at Nakahara Mizuki, who was also standing there dumbfounded.

Seemingly understanding what had happened, the black-haired youth approached Nakahara Mizuki without hesitation.

Instead of paying the bill as Mizuki Hitomi had expected, he grabbed the blue-haired girl by the back of her collar and carried her like a kitten to him.

"Why don't you let her stay and wash the dishes?"

"Huh? Huh?"

Mizuki Nakahara opened her mouth, completely surprised that things had turned out this way.

"There's nothing to complain about; this is the price of dining and dashing."

Seeing Nakahara Mizuki's astonishment, Nango Toki ignored the gaze that Yamada was looking at.

Are you kidding me?

1,500 yen?

If Ms. Yamada knew what kind of life she was living, she wouldn't have the nerve to say such things.

At this moment, Nanxiang finally understood.

Why did the following option appear during Chizuka Nishiki's second playthrough simulation: "That woman, Ryo Yamada, actually managed to sneak a free meal from me while I was researching music and movies. I guess I should tie her up and teach her a lesson!"

So, Ms. Yamada really did freeload off me for a meal and hasn't paid me back?

As expected of you, Ms. Yamada.

"what?!"

Hearing Nango Toki's words, Yamada Ryo couldn't help but blink her cold eyes. She reached out her small hand and tugged at Nango Toki's sleeve: "Toki, are you really that cruel?"

Although her expression remained indifferent, the way this woman tilted her head and reached out her small hand to tug at her sleeve was really cute.

If it were a typical anime or light novel male protagonist, upon seeing the female protagonist so pitiful and with such a soft voice, he would probably soften in the end and grit his teeth to pay the bill.

but--

"I'm more ruthless than you can imagine when I'm broke."

Nanxiang Shi didn't buy into that at all.

How to increase the affection level with a pretty girl?

You need to have enough money to keep yourself pregnant.

Moreover, having faced off so many times in simulations, Nango Toki was well aware of Yamada's extravagant spending habits.

"Did you originally have money ready to treat me to dinner, but then you saw a nice music store on the street and couldn't resist the temptation to go in and browse around?"

"How did you know that?"

Although Yamada Ryo's voice still sounded calm, the sudden rise in pitch clearly revealed that she was not at peace.

She truly hadn't expected that Nanxiang Shi would even understand such a thing.

"Your guardian spirit told me."

Nanxiang remained expressionless and continued to deceive.

"Does my guardian spirit even tell me things like this? Is it also talking nonsense about what underwear I wore today—?"

"Alright, let's leave this topic at that, Ms. Yamada. So, did you buy it?"

He casually tucked Ms. Yamada under his arm. Nango Toki cut Ms. Yamada off.

“I bought it. The Ibanez black headless electric bass, 520,000 yen including tax. My father told me to thank you properly, you psychic, so he gave me some extra pocket money.”

Ms. Yamada, who was grabbed around the waist, nodded and answered honestly with a blank expression.

"hiss..."

Nanxiang couldn't help but take a breath.

Five hundred and twenty thousand yen.

Furthermore, it also contains a thank-you note from Yamada's father for his payment.

Nango couldn't help but reach out and grab Yamada's fair cheek.

"Ah-"

Ms. Yamada expressed her pain with a calm cry.

Nanxiang remained expressionless and continued to pinch until a red mark appeared on the woman's face before letting go.

He truly feels that way now.

Yamada's father said something that was really true.

Without a degree from Dongda University or a good job, or a good family background.

It's really difficult to support this spendthrift blue-haired woman in front of me.

Thinking of this, Nango Toki spoke without hesitation: "Miss Yamada, your guardian spirit just told me that you must be more frugal with your money from now on."

But this time, the supposedly foolproof guardian spirit theory didn't work.

Miss Yamada blinked her beautiful big eyes, mercilessly exposing the lie:

"At that time, he was clearly lying."

hiss...

Why did this woman suddenly become so intelligent at this point?

Weren't we completely fooled by him before?

Nanxiang found that sometimes he really couldn't do anything about this narcissistic and overly free-spirited woman.

Just as he was about to speak again, he heard the puzzled voice of Mizuki Nakahara, who was also a waitress at 'Rikorikoo' like Chizuka Nishiki:

"Guardian spirit? What's that?"

Chapter 85. I Didn't Lie When I Was in the South (4000 words)

The concept of guardian spirits is frequently seen in manga and anime featuring Nakahara Mizuki, a single woman in her late thirties.

But to be honest, this was the first time Nakahara Mizuki had ever heard someone say it so seriously.

She instinctively asked for an exit, only to realize later that eavesdropping on other people's conversations was inappropriate.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to listen."

Mizuki Nakahara apologized.

Fortunately, the black-haired youth in front of him didn't seem to mind, and simply waved his hand with a smile:

"nothing."

He paused, then spoke in a gentle tone:

"Miss, are you also interested in the topic of guardian spirits?"

"Ah...it's alright...I guess."

Mizuki Nakahara couldn't help but glance at Nango Toki.

The other person had a pleasant voice, and their gaze was clear and sincere. They didn't seem like the kind of random scammer who would use the guise of a 'guardian spirit' medium to cheat people out of money.

On the other hand, even if she were to be deceived by such a handsome male conman, a single woman like Mizuki Nakahara, who is still looking for a boyfriend, probably wouldn't take it seriously.

Hmm... Nakahara Mizuki might even feel like she got a good deal.

"If you're interested and don't mind, I can actually do a palm reading or a guardian spirit reading for this lady."

"Why...?"

The sudden remark startled Nakahara Mizuki.

Although she had previously thought that being scammed was actually a gain for her.

But I didn't expect the other party to be so proactive and direct.

Perhaps sensing her thoughts, the young man simply smiled and said:

"Don't worry, it's just a simple look and there's no charge. I'm actually a very conscientious medium. Also, we can discuss the bill after this is over."

He pointed to Yamada Ryo, who was sitting obediently next to him.

"...Alright then."

Mizuki Nakahara glanced at the desolate atmosphere in 'Rikorik' and sighed.

Today, Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue went out to an orphanage to take care of the children, leaving only her and the shop manager Mika in the kitchen.
