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

"I think I'm in love with Miss Toyokawa Shoko."

Xia Mu smacked his lips. Eating hotpot for supper had a unique flavor.

Unfortunately, the security guard had to be on duty and couldn't come over to eat, so Xia Mu used disposable bowls and chopsticks to share some food with them and his fellow patients.

In essence, he is just a slightly divine person who is willing to treat others with gentleness.

[Aoyama Nanami looked at you and Toyokawa Shoko, and felt a place in her heart become empty.]

She just cared a little, that's all.

……

"Your name is Nagasaki Suyo, and you're eating dinner alone at home again today."

"Mom is working overtime again..."

Nagasaki Suyo rarely eats at home with her mother.

[According to Xia Mu's information, the other party has already begun investigating Toyokawa Shoko. In time, CRYCHIC will eventually return!]

"Everything is moving in the right direction."

A smile of well-planned deliberation appeared on the corner of Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo's mouth.

Sure enough, this time simulating entrusting Xia Mu to find Xiaoxiang was her most correct choice!

When Shoko Toyokawa returns and CRYCHIC is rebuilt, her story with Xia Mu will come to an end.

When the commission ends, the reward is delivered, and you and I are both safe.

That is, justice cutting.

The girl with flaxen hair thought so.

ps: There will be another chapter later.

I’d like to recommend a book by a big guy. It’s also Qingming’s first ba fan fiction that he has subscribed to on Maomao. It’s good, no need to be sarcastic!

Book Title: Survival in the Azure Files

Summary: I woke up from a dream with incomprehensible whispers echoing in my ears.

I forgot myself and lost my past. I looked around and realized that I was in hell.

The sound of explosions resounded through the blue sky, bullets raged in the streets like a torrent, and the flames of war were burning on this land all the time.

The aliens living here have seemingly fragile bodies but are not afraid of ordinary firearms. They form gangs and factions for their own purposes and fight each other all day long.

Then, they found me.

They called themselves students and told me this place was called Kivotos.

They still call me that.

sensei.

Chapter 34: Hong Xia Mama! When did you come?!

【It’s a sunny day. 】

This is another simple yet polite transition.

"Xia Mu, it's better not to do this kind of thing inside the detective agency. It wouldn't be good if the client saw it..." Toyokawa Shoko said softly, her ears flushed.

"It doesn't matter. The battle can't stop." You said, and the attack continued.

Grasp of the Undying!

[Yes, you are fighting Thunder Fighter?! ]

[It is literally a flying shooting game called "Peach Blossom Man vs. Chrysanthemum Monster Flying Machine."]

Point shoot, point shoot! 14332433, get it!

"I know! This game was independently developed by xx. It's set in the fantasy world of Warhammer K40. Players take on the role of Hajipiao, a character who encounters Super Wings and My Little Pony characters with different attributes while freely shooting planes. Together, they fight against the great devil Dodoko!"

It is truly the ultimate patchwork monster.

[The gift from Akasaka Ryunosuke is this small game console that can play many games! ]

[Leaning on the Tojiro pillow given to you by Nanami Aoyama, playing games is so comfortable. 】

Seeing her detective not doing his job, Toyokawa Shoko could only offer some advice. If a client wanted to place a commission at this time, they would probably run away if they saw the so-called famous detective Xia Mu lying on the carpet playing games like a child!

"Ah, wait until I finish this one, it's almost over—ah, damn it." Looking at the darkened screen of the game, you continued to lie on the fluffy carpet with despair, muttering quietly, "I've never felt happy playing Thunder Fighter."

"I get it, I get it. This is the relief you feel after being unable to complete a game for so long, feeling hopeless. In other words, it's the Great Sage mode."

"Well, there's really nothing you can do about it. Here, this is today's drink, lemon black tea." To cheer up her detective, Shoko Toyokawa specially prepared a drink with just the right amount of sugar and ice, tailored to your taste.

"Yesterday it was coffee, today it's black tea. Xiangzi is really thoughtful and considerate."

If you get married, you will definitely become the head of the family!

"If it weren't for Xiangzi, I'd probably be a caterpillar crawling on the carpet." You sipped the tea, taking small sips. The thoughtful assistant even prepared a straw for you.

"This is my duty, Xia Mu. It seems like a guest is coming! Hurry!"

[Toyokawa Shoko turned around and found you already sitting upright in your office, looking like you were seriously thinking about the case.]

【She knows you are pretending.】

[The real you is, in most cases, a half-baked detective, but in critical moments, you are very powerful.]

[Ring, ring, ring~~]

There's a small wind chime installed on the door. If someone opens the door, the wind chime will swing and a clear ringing sound will sound.

[The Starry Sky Detective Agency received its first official commission today.]

"So Miss Nagasaki Motoyo's request isn't official..."

Actually, Xia Mu still hadn't fully investigated the truth behind Toyokawa Shoko's departure from CRYCHIC, and could only make a vague guess.

Her family fell into poverty, and she could no longer continue playing in a band with everyone in CRYCHIC. Thanks for the invitation, but she is busy working to make a living and has no time to play the band game...

"I'll ask Xiangzi when the time is right," you thought.

[Before that, you need to keep things stable with Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo, and with Toyokawa Shoko, you'll also run the Fanxing Detective Agency with her. Well, even though it's just the two of you now, the future is promising!]

So, what about the so-called commissions and cases?

"Isn't it a case related to the Roller Coaster Murders, the Whisper of the Dead on Shell Street, Gaia's Memory, the Witch's Banquet, or Heavy Acceleration?"

Xia Mu still fantasizes that he can get involved in some special cases.

Unfortunately, no.

[Detective agencies, like Yorozuya, can sometimes accept special commissions, such as Didi ride-hailing services, limited to elementary school students! When you proposed this idea and were about to add it to the Fanxing Detective Agency website, Toyokawa Shoko decisively rejected it.]

[Continue to talk about your first client who came to entrust you with a service.]

[Coincidentally, I'm also a semi-acquaintance of yours.]

"Could you help me find a guitarist?" It was a girl named Ichichi Nijika, very cute and energetic. She'd heard that the Fanxing Detective Agency was similar to a Yorozuya, so she came to us and asked if you could help find a guitarist for a performance, even just for one.

Another reason was that when she saw the detective agency with the same name, she felt it seemed very reliable. After all, "Fanxing" was the name given by her sister, Ichichi Hoshika.

"Hongxia Mama! When did you come?"

It turns out that the star messengers are always attracted to each other!

Will he and Sister Xingge rekindle their relationship?

[You have accepted this commission and must do your best to find a guitarist within three days to help Hong Xia.]

[Although the reward is not much, it is a good start.]

"Xiangzi, can you play guitar?" You immediately ask Xiangzi Toyokawa.

The assistant tilted her head, her blue side ponytail swaying as she softly replied, "No."

[Her previous role in CRYCHIC was keyboardist, and the guitarist was Wakaba Mutsu, a friend she had known since childhood.]

[However, Toyokawa Shoko didn't want to ask for help. Just thinking about it made her feel a little embarrassed.]

[Although, deep down in her heart, she still harbors a dream of a galactic battleship.]

The hen card has not been activated yet.

[For Assistant Xiaoxiang, life isn't bad now.]

【At least, settle down first. 】

"Then let me handle this! Xiangzi, just wait for me, the famous detective Xia Mu, to complete the client's commission!" This is not a problem at all for you.

"The standard answer is almost stuck on my face, it's definitely going to happen."

In the initial simulation, he and Sister Xingge witnessed Hongxia's final band, from one to two, and then from two to four, consisting of girls in four colors: gold, blue, pink, and red.

As long as you help Hongxia find Goto Ichiri, then this commission will be solved.

[The plan to capture Shimokitazawa Noshige Pochi-chan has begun! ]

You caught Goto Ichiri in the park.

[Ding Dong! Commission completed!]

Let’s see what it means to complete a client’s commission in one chapter.

This is Xia Mu’s efficiency!

Tactical fallback.jpg

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Cutest in the World? *Chirp*

【Stars.】

You brought Goto Ichiri here, and with a few words, you flattered the pink-haired, socially anxious girl to the point of being overjoyed. Without a second thought, she agreed to your request and came to help Hongxia.

Looking at the makeshift band on the stage, Toyokawa Shoko didn't hold out much hope.

As she expected, Hongxia and the others' first performance wasn't very good, especially the guitarist, who played terribly... She could tell he could play better, but was probably limited by some factors.

[Observing, keeping these thoughts to herself, Toyokawa Shoko probably won't touch the band again in the short term.]

[After the performance, you received your first commission payment from Hong Xia as promised. It wasn't much, but it was a good start.]

After a brief exchange with Ijichi Hoshika, you left with Toyokawa Shoko and returned to your Fanxing Detective Agency.

[You believe that the story of the band ending this time will continue to unfold.]

"Alas, it was a mistake after all. If we meet again, we will just be strangers."

This is a simulation.

Therefore, it is normal that Sister Xingge doesn’t recognize herself.

But Xia Mu still felt a little lost.

"First commission is so easy! Thunder Fighter, start!" As soon as you step into the Starry Detective Agency, you immediately rush over to the game console, looking eager.

Although she wanted to pretend not to know him, Toyokawa Shoko had to admit that she was the only assistant of the childish detective on the carpet.

"Foolish and unhappy?"

best mach!

【After a good start, new commissions will follow. 】

"It was a request from Rikka Takanashi. It was to find a lost cat. The reward wasn't much, but because she looked so cute and had a bit of a chuunibyou vibe, you accepted it."

At the beginning of your career, you can accumulate some positive reviews.

"Hmm? Don't I like mature older sisters? Cute? Could it be on the level of the world's kawaii Shiny Pikachu?"

World's No. 1? Cute,

The first in the universe? Cute,

Praise me more.
