It was supposed to be a love simulation, so why are they also players?

"I, I, I'm thinking about what to make for dinner at home tonight..."

This is a lie.

He probably can't fool Xia Mu...

She hadn't made a choice yet, but Xia Mu's concern made the pink-haired girl tremble involuntarily.

"That's wonderful, Ichiri. If I ever have the chance, I'd love to try Ichiri's family's dinner."

"Um……"

As she walked, almost unconsciously, she grabbed Xia Mu's sleeve. The soft touch of the fabric against her fingertips brought her a little peace of mind.

When she was little, she would do the same, holding onto her parents' sleeves.

Now, I'm all grown up.

One more day that Yili can rely on.

Listening to his words, which seemed to melt into the wind and reach my ears, I would occasionally hum in agreement.

This is the kind of relationship we have.

It seems to suit my personality quite well...

If possible.

She also wanted to say more.

"If, if..."

"Hmm? You can say whatever you want to say. Take your time, I'll listen."

"If you don't mind, come to my place for dinner next time!"

【? 】

The emulator has a small question mark.

Ms. Goto Ichiri, don't you know how to operate it?

It's obvious that she played better than a certain unnamed Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo in the early stages.

When people first start playing, they don't have any skills at all.

"Well, well, since it's a one-mile invitation, I'll gladly accept. You decide the time, and I'm ready to go anytime."

"it is good."

Seeing Xia Mu's happy smile, Goto Ichiri suddenly felt that perhaps even someone as clumsy as herself could slowly transform herself in this gentleness.

Become someone worthy of being liked, someone you can stand confidently beside him.

Come on!

Goto Ichiri!

Her desire for change had never been stronger.

[Your bonds with Nijika Ijichi, Seika Ijichi, Ichiri Goto, Ikuyo Kita, and Ryo Yamada have deepened.]

listen.

How melodious, how smooth!

Real-world simulation, but Xia Mumu.

After dropping Goto Ichiri off at home, he quickly returned to his apartment.

"Xiangzi, I suddenly realized that I am actually a very good boy, even a perfect 10 or 12."

"Yes, I've known about this for a long time. I've finished organizing the outline for you today. The publisher is urging us to release the third volume, and I've already given you my response."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiangzi. Your bonus will be doubled this month."

"Idiot, what kind of boss are you? If you mind, I'd like to change the terms as a reward for this period of time, is that alright?"

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Sure, go ahead."

"Come out and have some fun with me on Sunday."

Faced with Toyokawa Shoko's request, what is your choice?

"Yes! yes! yes!"

Xia Mu quickly agreed before the emulator even displayed the options.

Sunday is coming soon.

You had a wonderful day with Toyokawa Shoko.

[Assistant Xiao Xiang's satisfaction level and happiness index have increased, leading to improved work efficiency.]

"Gone?"

【Gone. 】

"Can I file a complaint against you? You were sitting at the same table as the Three Kingdoms Kill game player."

Xia Mu pressed on, unwilling to give up.

【…】

【cannot. 】

The scene before Xia Mu's eyes flickered.

【September.】

In early autumn, the weather is slightly cool, and maple leaves and cherry blossoms fall with a rustling sound, carpeting the streets and creating a unique scene.

[After the band finished their performance, everyone was preparing to go to Kyoto. Nijika, on behalf of everyone, extends an invitation to you.]

"Xia Mu, it's autumn now, come with us."

"it is good."

After handing over the business of the Shimokitazawa Detective Agency to Toyokawa Shoko, you pack your bags and head to Kyoto with Nijika and the others.

"Kyoto, hot springs, sprint!

The universe has arrived!

get off.

Xia Mu was also full of energy.

"Luckily, I saved up some money working at Fanxing, which should be enough this time!"

Upon arriving in Kyoto, Kita Ikuyo was like a cheerful little bird, taking pictures everywhere with her phone. Inadvertently, she captured Natsume's excited shouts, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

She wanted to cherish this moment quietly.

The girl thought so.

Like a mischievous kitten, sneaking around unnoticed—

"Kita, stare at—"

Suddenly, Yamada Ryo's voice rang out behind Kita Ikuyo.

"Ah! Ryo-senpai! No...it's nothing..." Kita, who was almost caught, hurriedly tried to cover it up.

"Kita, are you secretly taking pictures of me? It costs 500 yen per picture~ Remember to edit them before sending them to me."

Yamada Ryo blinked, teasing her on purpose.

"Um...that's right, Senior Liang, please stand over there..."

She managed to get away with it for now.

What a despicable senior!

"It smells like a lie, Kita~ Actually, what you photographed should be—"

Yamada Ryo drawled out her words; she wasn't that naive.

"Senior Liang, shh—I just wanted to record everyone's moment, I have absolutely no other intentions, I swear!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet..."

"Here, please keep this a secret, Senior Liang!"

Kita, fearing that everyone would misunderstand, hurriedly handed over the cold drinks he had bought from the vending machine.

Super double!

Ryohei Yamada used a trick to get two cans of "Lada Happy Ice Tea" from Ikuyo Kita.

"Hey~ Xia Mu, wanna drink?"

Unexpectedly.

The guy, carrying the drink in his hand, went to Xia Mu's side and pressed the cold can against the boy's cheek.

With a smile, Yamada Ryo observed Natsume's reaction.

"Drink it, thank you for making it cold."

Xia Mu took the canned iced tea, and the moment she pulled the tab, the aroma of lemon mixed with the scent of autumn wafted out.

Autumn has arrived.

Congee lovers were overjoyed.

"You're welcome. It's 500 yen a can. Thank you for your patronage."

Yamada Ryo said with a smile.

"No money, Ryo. Did you tease Kita again? You're so naughty~"

"Hey~ This is my one and only beautiful girl character design~"

The cunning little girl with short blue hair raised her soda can and bumped it against the boy's.

some things.

She didn't want to overthink it.

Yamada Ryo wants to maintain the status quo and doesn't need to change himself.

This is the best way.

"I have never seen anyone so shameless."

"+1, meeting someone like me is your little bit of luck."

In this respect, Yamada Ryo is truly unbeatable.

"Ugh~ Senior Liang actually ran away!"

Kita Ikuyo, that's probably it.

Left with no other choice, I picked up my phone and took a picture of the scene.

This can also be recorded.

Their trip to Kyoto has only just begun.

"Shall we all take a picture together?"

Kita suggested it.

"Okay, okay, please make sure you Photoshop it to look good!"

Liang is spouting nonsense again.

"I...I can do it..."

Although Ichiri Goto is afraid of facing the camera, she should be fine taking pictures with everyone...

Ah!
