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

If you can activate the small treasury kept by the mental hospital, then the early stages shouldn't be a problem.

"That's a bit difficult."

Previously, Xia Mu assisted the police in solving a case and received several substantial bonuses, which were difficult to get back at once.

This is not a big problem for you.

[The next day.]

You called Director Koji Tadokoro and asked him out for a serious chat. You made a pact: If the Fanxing Detective Agency shows no improvement within three months, you will return to the mental hospital.

[On the contrary, you are a legally discharged mental patient.]

A good deal.

"Shimokitazawa Psychiatric Hospital will always be your home. You can always contact us if you need anything." As a condition of this agreement, Director Tansho will hand over your personal stash and will keep in touch with you regularly.

[Hearing that you're living a stable life out there, Director Tiansuo, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean appearance, is actually quite happy. He believes you can take good care of yourself and haven't committed any major crimes.]

"I made some money from stock trading a while ago, so I'll consider it an initial investment. I'm leaving now, no need to see me off." Director Tiansuo left, his back seemingly hunched over.

"Director Tian Suo, he really made me cry to death."

[With the unlocked slush fund and angel investment from Director Tansho, your financial resources have greatly increased!]

[At least, it can cover three months' salary for the detective assistant job!]

You decided to invite Nanami Aoyama to join the Fanxing Detective Agency next time. On the one hand, the detective agency is indeed short of staff, and on the other hand, you want to help the girl financially.

[Now, let's start working on our first commission! ]

【For Miss Nagasaki Suyo, let's go find Miss Toyokawa Shoko! 】

"The pineapple bun from last time, I'll always remember it, be loyal!"

Xia Mu also wanted to repay the favor.

【After some investigation, you got some useful information. 】

[Ms. Toyokawa Shoko originally had a good family background. Like Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo, they were both wealthy and beautiful women. Well, she was even more powerful.]

"This is the importance of the intelligence system."

[Now, due to some reasons, her family has fallen on hard times. Ms. Toyokawa Shoko, who works as a customer service representative in an office building, has proven this with her actions.]

"I thought Nanami was short of money, but I didn't expect Ms. Toyokawa Shoko to be even poorer. She has negative assets and is forced to work..."

[You waited outside the office building until the end of the working day, and finally greeted Toyokawa Shoko who was leaving get off work.]

A girl with twin ponytails, wearing white socks and carrying a bag, looks a bit tired and exhausted. She's about to go to the convenience store to buy a cheap, discounted bento, take it home, heat it up, and then go back to her other job that night.

"I found you, Ms. Toyokawa Shoko. Long time no see." You called out the girl's name and greeted her warmly.

"Xia Mu? Why are you here?" Toyokawa Shoko was a little surprised.

【She originally thought that you would never have any contact again. 】

"I just happened to be passing by~ I didn't expect to see you again. The pineapple buns you had last time were delicious. If it weren't for Ms. Toyokawa Shoko, my little Xia Mu would have starved to death outside." Although the words were a bit exaggerated, you were truly grateful for the other person's help.

Wandered around the park twice.

Once, the kind-hearted sister Xingge picked him up and brought him back to Fanxing. As a thank you, Xiao Xiamu gave him to Yidizhi Xingge, and they had a happy ending of marriage. Is this thoughtful enough?

The second chapter is about Miss Toyokawa Shoko, who comes from a poor family. Even though her life is hard, she still shares her only food with Xia Mu. This is very precious.

"That's not so exaggerated, Xia Mu, how are you doing now?" Following your words, Toyokawa Shoko became concerned about your current situation, wondering how you are doing now that you had nowhere to go.

"It's going strong!" You told the girl everything about your subsequent experiences and handed a flyer to Toyokawa Shoko.

"Ms. Toyokawa Shoko, I recently opened a Detective Agency called Fanxing. Although the staff is limited, the office location is undecided, and I don't get many commissions, my goal is to reach the stars! So, could you join the Detective Agency and become my assistant? Just a part-time assistant, it won't affect your other work." You invite Toyokawa Shoko.

Can we set up a detective agency for life?

"I'm really the one who invited two girls to form a group in one day."

So, will Shoko Toyokawa agree?

ps: Today’s book recommendation is about the fan fiction of Puella Magi Madoka Magica!

Title: "The Humanoid Wishing Machine in the World of Soman"

Introduction: You can make a wish for me! Anything is fine...

Bai Miao attempted suicide due to cancer but failed and was rushed to the hospital for treatment but was unsuccessful.

After his death, he was teleported to the world of Zongman by the mysterious observer and had to start a new journey of working as 007.

No salary, no vacation, but a gift of an immortality package made of pure magic power.

Not only must he complete the system's tasks, but he must also acquire enough magic power to survive. Bai Miao decides to overthrow this world! (Physiologically speaking)

Then he extended his hand to the girls and said with a smile:

Make a wish to me, I can satisfy you with anything...

Miracles and magic do exist.

----

But, all the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

Chapter 31: The weak customer service Xiaoxiang is dead!

[Toyokawa Shoko wanted to refuse immediately, but before she could open her mouth, you were one step ahead of her.]

"The monthly salary for a detective assistant is this!" You almost forgot to mention the salary, but you quickly add this, offering a rather tempting basic condition.

【“Really?” The girl hesitated. 】

[The monthly salary you offer is higher than her salary as a customer service representative.]

[Very tempting, stockings! ]

The B class of customer service is really not good enough.

It would be better to be Xia Mu's detective assistant. It's easier and the salary is higher.

"I'm telling you the truth, I'm not lying, and this is just the base salary. If you complete the commission, you'll get additional commissions. Miss Toyokawa Shoko, I promise on my integrity that if I lie to you, I will only love Miss Toyokawa Shoko in this life." You promised.

[Hearing this, the girl subconsciously took a few steps back, but soon realized you were joking and told her not to put too much pressure on herself.]

"But I don't have any experience as an assistant..." Shoko Toyokawa thought she might not be suitable for the job.

"No, no experience is necessary. Just start from scratch. I think Ms. Toyokawa Shoko is perfect for being a detective's assistant." You responded with a warm smile.

re0: The road to becoming a detective assistant from scratch.

[By having Toyokawa Shoko join my Fanxing Detective Agency, I can repay my gratitude while also gradually completing Miss Nagasaki Motoyo's commission. It's really killing two birds with one stone, a powerful and powerful blow!]

[When the time is right, I will invite Aoyama Nanami to come as well.]

"Hahaha, that's exactly what I meant. Who says a detective can only have one assistant? I want both!"

"Why? Why did you choose me?" Toyokawa Shoko pressed on, wanting an answer.

[It's obvious that you and her only met once.]

[She just gave you a pineapple bun...]

"My intuition tells me that Ms. Toyokawa Shoko gives me the impression that, well, it's hard to describe her in a few words. She's very capable and decisive in everything she does. She's incredibly capable, the type who's got the air of a king, a journey, or a bubble." The reason you gave made it difficult for Toyokawa Shoko to ask again.

"So, Ms. Toyokawa Shoko, please entrust your future to me. My name is Xia Mu. I'm betting my life on this, and I mean what I say." Within three months, you must make the Starry Detective Agency's business take off.

You are confident enough.

【Toyokawa Shoko realized that you were serious.】

"Also, the Fanxing Detective Agency can provide a one-month advance on your salary~" You continued to offer your conditions. Originally, you wanted to say three months, but considering the girl's feelings, you lowered it a bit.

"This isn't just a favor out of goodwill; it's a reciprocal transaction between us. Ms. Toyokawa Shoko, I need you." You need to impress the girl with something practical, and prove your ability by mentioning that you've helped the police solve numerous cases.

[The girl's strong self-esteem makes it difficult for her to accept the kindness of others.]

Hmm... Nanami Aoyama pro max?

If you think about it carefully, the two have a lot in common. They both have to become part-time warriors in the New World because of lack of money.

One for ideals, the other for life.

What about himself?

That’s right, it’s for Miss Long-term Vegetarianism.

Life is not easy, Xia Mu sighed.

Therefore, he will become a ghost hunter who breaks into the hearts of young girls.

First the left atrium, then the right ventricle...

[After considering for a long time, the blue-haired girl finally agreed to your invitation. ]

"Xia Mu, please wait here for me. I'm going to resign now." Having made up her mind, Toyokawa Shoko turned back to the office building and decided to quit her customer service job.

[That weak customer service representative, Xiaoxiang, is dead! Now, the new detective assistant, Xiaoxiang, appears before you!]

"Customer service representative Xiaoxiang is dead. You picked it right, idol!"

"Boss, when can I start work?" Toyokawa Shoko is very enthusiastic about her new job.

"I don't have any new commissions for now. Wait for my further notice. This is your salary for this month, I'll give it to you in advance. Now, I have another task for you." You put the salary you had prepared long ago into an envelope and, without further ado, shoved it directly into Toyokawa Shoko's hand.

"What mission?" She wanted to refuse, as she didn't want to receive anything without merit. However, Toyokawa Shoko was indeed short of money recently...

"Rest well these few days and stop working part-time. I don't want my assistant to get exhausted from other part-time jobs." Your attitude was tough, but your words showed your concern for Toyokawa Shoko.

"Okay... I'll try my best." According to what you said, she could also work part-time in other jobs in the future, but she wouldn't have to work so hard.

"One more thing, don't call me boss. Just keep calling me Xia Mu. It's fine." You corrected Toyokawa Shoko's way of addressing you, saying calling you boss was too formal.

"Then, Xia Mu, you can call me Xiangzi. Please give me your guidance from now on, my detective. Let's work hard together for our Fanxing Detective Agency, huh?" A joyful smile appeared on the girl's slightly tired face.

[Toyokawa Shoko is very happy. Today she got a job with better salary and benefits. She is a detective assistant.]

"Well, thank you for your guidance, my assistant, Ms. Xiangzi." You extended your hand and shook hands with Xiangzi Toyokawa.

[From now on, the number of staff at the Fanxing Detective Agency has increased by 1, which is great.]

[Toyokawa Shoko's favorability towards you +1+1...]

Oh……

It turns out there is such a thing as favorability, Xia Mu hadn't noticed it before.

It seems that when the favorability reaches a certain value, a special bond flow can be established, but the simulator did not show Xia Mu the specific favorability value, and only a slight increase in growth could be seen.

And then? Nothing.

This is also the reason why Xia Mu did not pay special attention to it before.

In short, it is a good thing to increase favorability.

【You exchanged contact information with Toyokawa Shoko.】

【Then, you and she go home separately.】

On the way home, you pulled out your phone and clicked on Nagasaki Suyo's page. After a moment's thought, you sent a text message, informing her that you had found Toyokawa Shoko, but that you needed some time to learn the truth behind her leaving the band. Before then, you hoped that Ms. Nagasaki Suyo would remain calm and not show up rashly to avoid causing any trouble.

Nagasaki Suyo hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

……

……

Your name is Nagasaki Suyo. After seeing the message from Xia Mu, you were extremely excited and couldn't wait to find Toyokawa Shoko...

[But Xia Mu asked you not to take any action yet, saying that he still needs some time to investigate the truth behind Toyokawa Shoko's withdrawal from the team.]

"...Can't you just ask Xiaoxiang directly?"

Nagasaki Suyo thought it would be better to ask Toyokawa Shoko directly, but when she thought about the fact that she had sent so many messages to the other party and received no reply, she felt that she should follow Xia Mu's idea.

Come on! Xia Mu!
