I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

This is an opportunity that neither Faust nor A Clockwork Orange could have wished for. You can make a deal with a smart "devil" without losing anything.

I and the system have always shared a common destiny.

Chitose's steps became lighter and she looked towards the glass windows on the street.

There seemed to be three small golden circles in the rose-red pupils.

Ch68. Takamatsu Touma: I will win

"What is this? My dear system."

The three golden circles sparkled in his pupils, and he could not ignore them no matter from which angle he looked at them.

They were so quiet and mysterious that Chitose Noshiro's wine-red eyes were filled with an unknown charm.

[This is the lifespan indicator, representing the number of times the host has successfully simulated.]

[Every time the host completes a simulation and successfully gains a lifespan greater than one year, a lifespan marker will be obtained.]

"So, I will also get the same mosquito-repellent eyes as Makima in the future?"

【almost】

"is that useful?"

[Not yet, but there will be in the future. However, this can be hidden, does my lovely Chitose need it?]

This kind of thing is so cool.

"Forget it... There's no need to hide. These things are not important."

Chitose took one last look at her reflection in the display case glass. In her hand, she was still clutching her wallet, which contained thirty-three 10,000 yen bills and a few small coins.

After a day, she was like a completely different person.

The "Chitose Noshiro" she saw in the glass was a stranger even to herself.

She has lived longer, learned more, and acquired more skills.

All this happened in a trance...which made Chitose Noshiro feel a little too exaggerated.

Who could believe that just a week ago I was still bedridden in the hospital?

For the first time, Qiansui felt the laws of life so clearly. She found that as long as she maintained this delicate balance, she would have the opportunity to obtain the treasures that countless others were vying for.

The girl with white hair and red eyes walked slowly in the crowd, and was out of tune with other passers-by, as if she did not belong to this world.

She looked at the people around her and felt that she was gradually drifting away from this group.

"Hurry up, or the light will turn red soon."

Gentle words came from behind, and Noshiro Chitose looked sideways and found a girl with long brown hair and blue eyes.

The appearance of the person in front of him made Noshiro Chitose stunned.

This guy looks familiar...

Her name is Nagasaki Suyo, right?

"Okay, thank you for the reminder."

Qiansui didn't care too much and just walked away quietly.

[Takamatsu Light, Shiina Tatsuki, Toyokawa Shoko. 】

These three people have already known each other, although they only know Toyokawa Shoko in real life.

If I remember correctly, there are still two talented people left in the small band called Crychic. One is Wakaba Mutsu, and the other is Nagasaki Suyo who just talked to her.

"The so-called selected targets in the simulation are probably them."

Chitose used the remaining change to buy Kyomoto's favorite ingredients and a new teddy bear. The furry touch of the toy in her arms made Chitose's heart itch.

"Kyomoto, are you awake?"

It was just after eight o'clock when Qiansui came back from going out. In the floor-length mirror at the door, he saw the small golden circles in his pupils again.

Gold paired with red...is this a symbol of power?

"Sister? Hmm?"

Xiao Jingben poked his head out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in his mouth.

"What do you want to eat today? Tell me and I'll make it for you."

Chitose doesn't plan to simulate today. She wants to give herself a break and spend some time with the lovely Kyomoto Haizuka.

If she simulated it again, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't go crazy.

"Hmm? I feel like my sister is acting a little weird."

Kyomoto still had toothpaste in her mouth, enjoying her sister's hand stroking her head, when she suddenly blurted out these words without any context.

"Oh? Has something changed, sister?"

Chitose used a towel to wipe the foam from the corner of Kyomoto's mouth and gently scratched Kyomoto's little face.

"Sister has become as gentle as mother... Sister seems to have grown up?"

Phew, what a cute answer from a little kid.

"Sister is always sister. Sister is not mother...Sister will always take good care of Xiaojing. Come brush your teeth, I'm going to cook."

"it is good!"

After helping Kyomoto brush his teeth, Chitose quickly returned to the kitchen and used tap water to wash away the remaining toothpaste and saliva in the cracks of his nails.

"Growing?"

It feels like it's being ripened prematurely, but the feeling is also wonderful.

The kitchen range hood was surrounded by transparent plastic, and Chitose Noshiro looked at her reflection inside.

She suddenly felt that she had the same feeling as the brown-haired girl she met on the road today.

"The charm of an adult? How strange."

Wearing an apron and cutting vegetables, Chitose Noshiro hummed Shiina Tachiki's "Dancing" softly.

In fact, it is impossible to completely not care about anything in the world, as long as the person is still a human being.

But I can’t be my destiny...

Let the song take away my memories of Deng and Lixi, and let the future come faster.

You in the real world must be happy.

……

【I wish you happiness.】

"Wow!"

Gao Songdeng suddenly woke up from a nightmare.

She gasped for breath and looked around, only to find that she had escaped from that terrible nightmare.

"I dreamed of Xiaosui saying goodbye to me again..."

There was only one scene in the dream, and the face of Chitose Noshiro appeared over and over again.

That cute and energetic face always has an unstoppable and amazing smile.

That smile was poison, waking Gao Songdeng up from his dream in tears again and again.

Hugging his legs and leaning against the wall, Gao Songdeng once again felt the reality of loneliness.

She was constantly thinking about a person who didn't exist... No! There were also Xiao Sui in the real world!

But...but is that really Xiaosui?

And even if it is really Xiao Sui, it is not my Xiao Sui...

Even if it's my Xiao Sui, I can't get close to my Xiao Sui...

Xiao Sui will become unlucky...

When Gao Songdeng was feeling negative, she seemed to see the adult Minideng and the middle-aged Alcohol Lamp standing at the door of her room, staring at her with eyes that showed they were very disappointed in her.

"!!!"

No, no, even if she is not Nodai Chitose, even if she looks at me like a stranger!

"I want to go too... I want to go say hello to her... If I can see Xiao Sui again..."

Must be with Xiaosui!

Be friends for life!

Bad luck or something... maybe it can be avoided!

No more drinking, no more getting near ladders,…stay safe, stay away from those dangerous places with few people…

And there's Takamatsu Touma! Listen up!

Gao Songdeng rushed into the bathroom, wet a towel with cold water and washed his face.

"Takamatsu Touma! You...you have to be confident, seize the opportunity, and do the same as Noshiro Chitose taught you...you can't retreat or daydream, you have to be decisive!"

If I could see Chitose Noshiro again! She! Takamatsu Touma! I'd definitely be brave! I'd ask for her contact information!

We want to be as good friends as in our dreams!

Deng saw herself in the mirror with a face full of determination, and she seemed to have a vision of Chitose Noshiro again...

Chitose Noshiro wandered in the mirror and waved at her.

"what…"

I just fantasized about Chitose Noshiro...

"Will you actually burst into tears?"

The lamp wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and whispered to the mirror:

"Will win!"

Will it win? Absolutely!

Ch69. Trampled Violets

My sister has become as gentle as my mother.

Mom? It's a really distant word.

Eating, clearing the table, washing dishes, a peaceful half day that belongs only to Chitose and Kyomoto.

After playing the guitar for her sister to lull her to sleep, Chitose Noshiro moved a chair and sat on the balcony to enjoy the breeze.

She thoroughly enjoyed this ordinary daily routine where she didn't have to do anything, and she knew that she deserved it all.

"Mom?"

After his parents passed away, Chitose always envied those children who had their mothers by their side.

Before, she had been eager to become a role that was like her mother and able to protect her sister. Unexpectedly, when her sister said that she was like her mother, Chitose did not feel happy.

But it's also nice to be able to become a character like my mother.

In this way, Xiaojing won’t envy others who have their mothers by their side in the future, right?

"But Xiaojing did give me a good inspiration... Mother?"

The simulated self is not necessarily the same age as the simulated character.

The biggest age difference so far was in the second simulation with Takamatsu Deng.

There is about four years difference between them.

Who can say for sure that the difference will not widen to fourteen or twenty-four years old in the future?

Then I can play the role of a mother to the simulated characters... and then...

"Sister! Sister, where are you? Wuwu... I... I had a nightmare..."
