I have bound two systems.

However, Yukinoshita Haruno's sudden appearance and her uncharacteristic words and expressions made him lose interest in going to the appointment tonight.

"…Sorry, I feel a little unwell today."

After the test of courage was over, Suzumiya Chisato apologized to Isshiki and began to think about quitting.

Because his attention is now once again focused on the system prompt that appears before his eyes.

[The simulated object "Yukinoshita Haruno" has a time limit, please start the simulation as soon as possible]

Timeliness?

Is this implying something?

…………

Chapter 3: You decide...

In the quiet living room, a slight sound coming from the entrance made Black Wing, who was dozing on the air conditioner, raise his head.

"It's really not necessary..."

"No, Senior, you said you were not feeling well. This is probably a sign of a cold or flu. You need someone to take care of you."

"I'm not that weak yet."

"Just consider it as a reward for your care for me during this period of time, senior. Don't be embarrassed."

"..."

Such a conversation was heard from the entrance.

After hearing the familiar voice, Dark Wing lay down lazily again and stopped moving.

It's past eight o'clock in the evening.

Chisato Suzumiya made up an excuse to try to go home quickly, but she still failed to do so.

After learning that he was the only one in the apartment today, Isshiki Caiyu volunteered to take him home. After arriving downstairs, she asked to stay for a while before leaving in a rather tough manner, on the pretext of taking care of him.

After all, it was a good intention and it was hard to refuse, so this situation happened.

Chisato Suzumiya sat on the sofa. After asking, Isshi Iroha took out the home medicine box, took out a thermometer from it, and asked him to hold it under his armpit.

While waiting, she poured a cup of warm water for Suzumiya, and then sat beside him with a little worry, staring at her with worried eyes.

She was wearing a light green dress today, revealing her smooth white shoulders. The hem of the dress had small lace edges, and the white socks around her bound feet also had a similar design, which made her look even more pure and lovely.

Just from the way she was dressed, it was clear that Isshiki had really put a lot of thought into today's date.

Looking at her like this, Chisato Suzumiya felt a little guilty.

Although he did have something important to do, it was still inappropriate to betray a girl's true feelings by means of deception and to make her so worried.

"What's wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Isshi Iroha noticed his distraction.

She leaned on the sofa and moved closer, putting her lovely cheek close to mine.

"No... I'm much better now. It's probably because I was a little uncomfortable smelling the gunpowder smoke at the festival for so long."

There was a fireworks show at the festival, and many people bought small fireworks and set them off on their own. There is nothing wrong with this reason.

"The temperature is normal, don't worry."

Chisato Suzumiya took out the thermometer, looked at it herself, and then handed it to Isshiki Iroha.

Isshiki looked at the thermometer seriously and asked again for confirmation. After getting Suzumiya Chisato's affirmative answer, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, she should get up and say goodbye.

But she was unwilling to give up this hard-won opportunity so easily.

In this tangle, Suzumiya Chisato spoke first.

"Would you like to stay tonight?"

"...!?"

Her facial expression betrayed her inner thoughts.

Surprising, incomprehensible, incredible.

"Would you like to stay?"

Suzumiya Chisato asked again, and her tone was not much different from before.

"...Uh, wait...that..."

Isshiki spoke in panic, but because of his high emotions he couldn't organize his words, so the words he uttered were all words without specific meanings.

"Because it's getting late, I'm too lazy to go downstairs to see you off. Besides, I have an empty room here... Well, forget it. It's a bit inconvenient."

"It's not inconvenient! I want to stay! No...please let me stay for one night, Senior!"

Isseki stood up excitedly, and her originally relaxed shoulders were now tightly tightened as she clenched her fists.

"Then your family..."

"I'll call them and tell them, it's okay!"

Suzumiya Chisato nodded, pursed her lips, but her eyes were filled with joy that was difficult to conceal.

She turned around and trotted to the balcony. In a hurry, she took off her slippers, and her delicate feet made a crunching sound on the floor.

Suzumiya turned on the TV, lowered the volume and waited silently.

He noticed the change in his mentality, but he couldn't stop it, or rather, he didn't have the intention to stop it.

After a while, Isse hung up the phone and returned to the living room.

When she came in front of Suzumiya Chisato, she realized that her expression seemed a little too ostentatious, so she quickly restrained herself, became shy and reserved, and bowed slightly to him.

"Senior, I'm sorry to bother you tonight."

Chisato Suzumiya smiled without saying anything and patted the seat beside her.

Isshiki's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She noticed that there seemed to be something different about Suzumiya Chisato today, but she didn't have time to think so much at the moment. She just sat down in a daze and obeyed the other party's wishes.

Chisato Suzumiya bent down and placed the messy slippers on the floor in front of her toes, then without further comment, she stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

"I'm going to take a bath first, you can do whatever you want."

“Ah…yeah.”

Isshiki looked at his leaving back with confusion in his eyes.

However, when she looked down at the neatly placed slippers in front of her, sweetness and joy filled her heart again.

Success, great success!

She made this comment on her performance today.

On the other side, after lying in the bathtub, Chisato Suzumiya finally had her rare private space to be alone.

Now I finally have time to carefully sort out the system hints that suddenly reappeared and displayed such prompts, and what exactly they mean.

He called up the simulator interface, which was not much different from the previous ones.

Many thoughts emerged in his mind, but simply thinking about it seemed that he could not reach a definite conclusion.

On the other hand, the already confirmed reward of "mind reading" was also stirring his heartstrings all the time.

Come on, that's super cool mind reading.

Maybe not only humans, but even the thoughts of the Dark Wings can be detected!

When she thought about how she would use this ability, Chisato Suzumiya couldn't remain calm.

want to……

Come on, come on, succeed at once!

[The target of this dating simulation has been confirmed: Yukinoshita Haruno]

[After deducting one simulation, the remaining simulation times are: two]

【Simulation starts】

kindness?

Start right away?

What about the talent selection part?

Optimized?

Chisato Suzumiya felt uncomfortable, but she still patiently continued to look down.

[On the night of the summer festival, you ran into Yukinoshita Haruno with her male companion. Her demeanor, words, and the obvious worry in her brows made you realize that she seemed to have some unspeakable difficulties. In this regard, you decided...]

[1. What does it have to do with me?]

[2. I can’t ignore this situation]

[3. A simple and cool sister is better than a strong and difficult older sister]

[4. Perhaps there are other options...]

…………

Chapter 4 Simulation End

"...!?"

Wait a minute!

This time, is it a simulation based on the actual situation?

Staring at the option text in front of her that only she could see, Suzumiya Chisato was confused and felt a strong resistance in her heart.

He couldn't judge whether this situation was good or bad, nor was he sure whether his choice would be reflected in reality, causing a series of uncontrollable events and resulting in certain unexpected results.

Suzumiya Chisato rubbed her swollen head, thinking silently, and her mind slowly calmed down.

Yes, since we have already decided to start the simulation to obtain rewards, there is no need to think too much about the consequences.

All you have to do now is believe that you have enough ability to handle everything.

Please, future me! I believe in you!

After calming down, he began to analyze the options before him again.

First of all, option one can be ruled out directly. It is a very easy to understand situation. If you turn a blind eye to the current situation, choose to stay out of it and not participate in it, then there will most likely be no subsequent series of developments.

Option three is also problematic. When conducting a simulation about the older sister, how can you change people midway and focus the attention on the younger sister?

Although that sister is indeed very outstanding, with long legs, pretty face, and cute enough in some circumstances...but that is not an excuse to be indecisive!

This kind of thing might not be so convincing when spoken by Chisato Suzumiya herself, but it did not prevent him from making a decision.

The only thing that concerned Chisato Suzumiya was the fourth option, which negated the first three options and provided a completely new path that was unknown before the decision.

However, for the first simulation, it is better to be as cautious as possible and not rush to explore more possibilities. It is better to move forward steadily step by step.

After some brainstorming, Chisato Suzumiya chose the second option.

[The accidental encounter made you realize that something was wrong with Yukinoshita Haruno. 】

[Whether it's her expression that hides something on her face, or her way of getting along with others that is so different from before, you can instinctively sense her resistance.]

[Based on your previous understanding of her, you can almost conclude that the reason why she went with that man on the night of the festival was probably because of family pressure.]

[As for the obscure and intimate actions she made towards you in the small dark room before the courage test, in your opinion, it was also a subtle resistance made by her unwillingness to be overwhelmed by reality.]

[You think about your past interactions with Yukinoshita Haruno. The relationship between you two is not close, but you are familiar with each other. You feel that you need to do something under such circumstances.]

[You think about what to do next...]

[1. Asking Yukinoshita Haruno to come out and ask directly is the simplest and most direct way]

[2. What should Yukinoshita-Neono know as a younger sister]

[3. Some things are still uncertain at the moment. To be safe, it might be better to observe carefully for a while.]

[4. The above three options may not be carried out at the same time]

Regarding the options presented this time, Chisato Suzumiya rarely showed symptoms of decision-making difficulty.
