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

The reward is... can I close my eyes?

Chirp?

【…】

The simulator really wanted to complain, but Xia Mu had successfully left it speechless again.

After a busy afternoon, you and Shoko Toyokawa finally caught the runaway black cat and handed it over to your client, Rikka Takanashi.

[At this point, you're exhausted, so you're just sprawled out on the carpet. When decorating the Starry Detective Agency, we specifically chose this super-large carpet just for fun!]

The still reserved blue-haired girl sat on the sofa, elegant and without needing to be overly sarcastic. Even though she was tired, she still had to maintain a good posture.

[While you weren't paying attention to her, assistant Xiaoxiang rested his head on the sofa, squinting his eyes, and took a short rest.]

[I completed two commissions today. Finding the cat was a bit difficult, but otherwise, it was fine.]

[If nothing unexpected happens, Toyokawa Shoko will be off work soon.]

While your assistant, Xiaoxiang, was asleep, you quietly got up and covered the girl with a sheet. Then you quietly left the house and walked a few steps to Sakurasou, where you used the kitchen to make dinner for your assistant.

【Just think of it as a small surprise. 】

[Packed, boxed, all done in one go, and then returned to the Starry Detective Agency.]

[Putting a note under the lunch box, you return to Sakurasou and prepare dinner for everyone at Sakurasou.]

【Because it's your turn to cook today. 】

As for Toyokawa Shoko, she can stay at the Fanxing Detective Agency. If there's nothing else to do, there's no need to go home. She can sleep in the small side room. Besides, her assistant, Xiaoxiang, has the key.

You have been very thoughtful in these aspects.

【The other side.】

Toyokawa Shoko woke up in the evening and found that her detective had already left the Starry Detective Agency, leaving her alone. Suddenly, a look of despair appeared on her face.

[Soon, this loneliness was replaced by surprise. She saw the note you left for her in the lunch box.

———Thank you for your hard work today, Xiangzi~ The rising star of the tabletop detective world, Xia Mumu, personally made dinner for your great assistant! Please eat it all~

Also, this place should be quite far from Xiangzi's house. It's getting late. If you don't mind, you can stay overnight at the Fanxing Detective Agency. You have the key anyway, so remember to open the door for me tomorrow.

"Thank you..." she murmured, as the assistant opened the lunch box, muttered "I'm ready," and started eating.

[This job as a detective assistant is more interesting than I imagined.]

【Especially you, the sometimes elusive detective.】

[The girl's mood changed slightly.]

【Tonight, Toyokawa Shoko will stay at the Fanxing Detective Agency. 】

[She doesn't like to owe others anything, so Toyokawa Shoko will work harder to do her job well and become your closest assistant wholeheartedly. ]

【Please continue to give me guidance in the future. 】

"It seems to have strayed a little bit from the topic."

Wasn't the original intention to investigate Toyokawa Shoko's sexual orientation and the reason why she left CRYCHIC?

That's fine, too.

Raising Toyokawa Shoko's favorability is also one of the ways to resolve Miss Nagasaki Motoyo's commission!

[In the blink of an eye, the Starry Sky Detective Agency has been open for half a month. Basically, the commissions you receive are all small matters, either finding a cat or catching a mistress. In short, the praise rate is rising rapidly.]

【Shoko Toyokawa's assistant does a great job.】

【But you know that the other person hasn't completely opened his heart to you yet. 】

[As a famous detective, you, without even having to tell her, have already discovered the truth behind Toyokawa Shoko's departure from CRYCHIC through some details.]

[Furthermore, this confirmed my previous conjecture.]

[The family fell into poverty and could no longer maintain a happy band life. With no extra time and energy, Toyokawa Shoko had to work part-time. Customer service Xiaoxiang is the past tense, while assistant Xiaoxiang is the present continuous tense.]

【This is the truth behind my withdrawal from the team.】

ps: There should be another chapter later, I’m currently typing it.

Today's book recommendation is about a friend's book, a fan fiction of "A Certain Magical Index".

Title: A Certain Scientific Nine-Tailed Demon Fox

Introduction: Magical Index of Magic, please show yourself quickly~

问!

What would you do if you traveled to the world of Magical Index?

Unofficial version

White Fox: "Punch the uncle, step on Touma, and own 20,000 Misaka sisters! Crazy harem!"

Serious version

White Fox: "Finding out the old man's gender, laughing at Touma's misfortune, testing Index's stomach capacity, recommending computer parts to Kuroko, staring into the Queen's starry eyes, accompanying Misaka to teach an antique vending machine a lesson with a side kick, and... saving confused girls!"

Real version

White Fox: "With ears and a tail, I'm an urban legend in Academy City!!!"

Chapter 36 This incident is also recorded in the biography of Xia Mumu

Ding Dong! You've figured out the truth behind Toyokawa Shoko's departure from the group. So, what should you do next?

Oh, multiple choice questions again.

[① "Ms. Toyokawa Shoko, you don't want everyone in CRYCHIC to know that you're leaving the group, right?" Using this as leverage, you can do whatever you want.]

[②Tell all this to Nagasaki Suyo truthfully. The commission is half completed. It's time to pursue her! Miss Nagasaki Suyo, please be with me quickly!]

[③Talk to Toyokawa Shoko. You should consider her feelings instead of telling Miss Nagasaki Motoyo about the matter on your own. This may not be a good thing for you.]

"...Since Xiangzi doesn't want to talk, then I will take action. I want to help her without affecting the commission."

It doesn't matter, he will take action.

This is not an empty statement.

It's not just a verbal "check".

So, Xia Mu chose the third option.

The relatively normal one.

"Shoko, I have something very important to tell you. It's about the first commission I received before the opening of the Fanxing Detective Agency. The client was someone you know, Nagasaki Suyo..." You told Toyokawa Shoko about your previous experience with Nagasaki Suyo.

【frank.】

The right to tell the truth should be decided by the other party.

"So, you're Su Shi's friend..." An expression of disbelief appeared on the face of the girl with a blue side ponytail. "But why are you telling me this now..."

[For a moment, she found it difficult to digest the truth.]

[I never expected that my current boss, Detective Xia Mu, was actually the guy who was asked by my former CRYCHIC bandmate Nagasaki Suyo to investigate me.]

[If she knew from the beginning that the other party was picking her up with a special purpose, how would Toyokawa Shoko feel? ]

"Because I don't want to do anything that would hurt Xiangzi." This was your answer. You met the girl's gaze and didn't avoid it.

"I'm not guilty, why would I avoid it? Just stare!"

"So you deliberately approached me from the start? For Su Shi's commission... as a detective assistant, too. Is that your excuse for approaching me and investigating me?" The trembling voice suddenly rose, turning cold. The girl looked at you with a hint of disappointment.

【She clearly trusts you so much.】

【After much difficulty, I got a good job. 】

[What else is there to say? Is entrusting your life to the Starry Detective Agency just empty talk?]

[This is the first time I've tasted the cooking of the Stupid Detective.]

[You and her, the brainless and unhappy detective x assistant combination, the bond between you is put to the test. ]

"I did approach you with a purpose, but I believe Toyokawa Shoko is the right person to be my assistant. Facts have proven that without you, Shoko, the Fanxing Detective Agency wouldn't have been able to open so smoothly." You weren't lying.

"Every word comes from the heart."

Xia Mu can send four.

"Sorry, please let me calm down for a while, Xia Mu..." She wanted to leave the Fanxing Detective Agency and be alone for a while, but she had a jerk, alcoholic father at home. Even if she went back, her mood would only get worse, which would undoubtedly make things worse.

[And Toyokawa Shoko knew that, given your personality, if she left immediately, you would definitely kneel on the ground, tightly grasp her hand, and shout "Onegai!"]

"Okay." You're still quite decisive. To cheer up Toyokawa Shoko, you activate your skill, "Master of Disguise," and disguise yourself as a wild Pikachu, huddling alone in a small corner of the Starry Detective Agency.

[“…Xia Mu, what are you doing?” After a moment of silence, the girl, feeling somewhat downhearted, raised her beautiful eyes, taking in your true disguise.]

Your Pikachu costume didn't immediately improve Toyokawa Shoko's mood, but she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, as if she was trying hard to suppress a smile.

[Seeing this, you know your plan has at least worked a little, so you decide to press on! ]

"I'm cosplaying as Pikachu. I heard girls really like cute little animals, so I hope this makes you happy. Pika Pika!" You imitate Pikachu's voice, dancing clumsily as you approach Xiangzi.

"Pfft... I really can't help you, Xia Mu. Do you really think I'm suitable to be an assistant at the Fanxing Detective Agency?" Xiangzi asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"Sure and for sure!" You answered without hesitation.

【The atmosphere seemed to have relaxed a lot.】

"Anyway, please don't tell them the truth about me leaving CRYCHIC. Please," Toyokawa Shoko said. She wasn't too angry with you.

She will never give up her job as Xiaoxiang's assistant.

[Because this was the job she got after you approved of her. Even if you had other ideas at first, now you've confessed everything to her, even prepared for her wrath...]

[Toyokawa Shoko is not a fool who doesn't understand what's going on. She can understand your thoughts.]

[You must not only complete Nagasaki Suyo's commission, but also protect her... Toyokawa Shoko understands your gentle side.]

"Tell Sushi to meet at Beast Park at six tonight. I'll explain things to her, and that way, your commission will be completed." With this suggestion, Toyokawa Shoko had a clear idea.

【She wants to help you and entrust this potential trouble to you to solve it. 】

[It also allows you to completely say goodbye to the nostalgic past.]

"Thanks for your understanding, praise Xiangzi!"

Why is detective assistant Xiaoxiang a god? This is also recorded in the biography of Xia Mumu.

ps: Today's update is over, and we have arrived at the first outbreak point of this simulation, Toyokawa Shoko vs. Xia Mu. Next, we are ready to replicate the famous scene!

Nagasaki Suyo vs. Toyokawa Shoko vs. Xia Mu.

Ou Nei should~~I’m asking for recommendation votes and monthly votes~This is really important to the author~

Finally, Xiao Qingming wants to recommend a friend’s new book, which is also a new book by a big boss. Qingming praises it.

Title: Zongman, My System Is Wrong

Introduction: As the saying goes, once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, and three times is inevitable. The time travel was driven by performance, the system is a Pinduoduo version, the system can't even change people to be hacked, and even the system tasks have never been reliable.

This feeling is sad!

Luo Zhen had never felt happy about traveling through time.

"Tell the truth, Tongzi, do you want to kill me?"

Chapter 37: A Shocking Kneeling!!!

【5:30.pm】

[Beast Park.]

Your name is Nagasaki Suyo. Xia Mu contacted you today and asked you to come over. Toyokawa Shoko is willing to talk to you.

[You think you're the only one who needs to have this conversation, so just let Xia Mu watch from the sidelines.]

Ok?
