mygo, Villain Simulator

Her long, fiery red hair cascaded down her shoulders like flames, flowing smoothly down her back. Each strand shone with a unique luster, as if shimmering with a mysterious glow in the sunlight.

The girl in the shrine maiden's outfit had hair that contrasted sharply with her cold demeanor; the vibrant red stood out against her silence, yet it also made people hesitant to approach her.

The red-haired girl's eyes are golden, just like Toyokawa Shoko's, and also like Ichinose Wakaba's.

His golden pupils, like ancient gems, radiated a mysterious light, like burning flames, as deep as the starry sky of the universe.

Toyokawa Shoko saw calmness and an all-seeing indifference in those golden eyes—as if the girl in front of her had never cared about the trivialities of the world.

Neither joy, sorrow, nor anger could stir any emotion in the eyes of the girl in the shrine maiden's clothes; only an unapproachable calm remained.

Even as everything around her was in flux and changing, her gaze remained as still as a lake, undisturbed by any external influence.

Her face was flawless, cold as ice, as if nothing could move her. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, but there was no trace of a smile.

There was only a calm silence that created a sense of distance.

The girl in the shrine maiden's outfit stood there, seemingly a being from another time and space, carrying a loneliness and solemnity that did not belong to this world.

She seemed like a being from a distant divine realm, her crimson hair and golden pupils further enhancing her mysterious aura.

For some reason, Toyokawa Shoko thought of Ichinose Wakaba—was it because he was as taciturn as she was?

Or is it because of the same eye color?

"Thank you."

Toyokawa Shoko reached out and took the teacup. The moment her fingertips touched the porcelain cup, its warmth seeped into her palm, like an embrace, dispelling the chill in her heart.

The aroma of tea wafted to her nose, a warm scent enveloping her. The cup held a moderately strong floral tea, its pale yellow color translucent and exuding a gentle fragrance.

Toyokawa Shoko took a small sip. The tea was fragrant and smooth, with a hint of floral aroma and sweetness.

With just one sip, the blue-haired young lady could tell that this flower tea was not an expensive variety.

The tea in her hand was just an inexpensive flower tea. The aroma of the tea leaves lacked complex layers and the deep flavor of high-quality tea, but its refreshing fragrance warmed her heart instantly.

Toyokawa Shoko closed her eyes slightly, savoring this simple yet warm feeling, a strange sense of peace washing over her. It was just like when she was sadly preparing to leave earlier, and the girl in the shrine maiden's robes stopped her.

"Thank you."

Once again, Toyokawa Shoko thanked him softly, her voice gentle, as if she too had been healed by the warmth of the tea.

[Looks a bit better.]

Ichinose Wakaba also took a sip of tea. The near-expiry flower tea that he couldn't resist buying when he passed by the supermarket for only 98 instead of 998 warmed his heart at that moment.

Although she said she didn't want to have any relationships with those uncontrollable girls in the simulator, Ichinose Wakaba couldn't help but intervene when she saw how timid and cowardly Xiaoxiang looked just now.

His body acted before his brain; he ran downstairs and dragged Toyokawa Shoko, who was crying and trying to escape, back upstairs.

Fortunately, it's just a disguise now.

Thinking back to what had happened if she hadn't been disguised but had instead acted like Ichinose Wakaba—she would definitely have been entangled with Toyokawa Shoko.

Based on her simulated encounters with Toyokawa Shoko, Ichinose Wakaba felt that she also belonged to the category of female characters in the Mygo storyline.

After all, she's the kind of woman who always says things like, "Please entrust your lives to me."

[Now we should get her to leave as soon as possible.]

I glanced at the time and realized it was already past 21 PM. If Ichinose Wakaba didn't return to the Nagasaki house by now, Nagasaki Sase might find out she wasn't home.

Since participating in the simulation and being adopted by Nagasaki's mother, Ichinose Wakaba has often seen Nagasaki Sose hanging around him.

What? Wakaba-kun, do you want some fruit? Wakaba-kun, are you able to keep up with your studies? Wakaba-kun, Mom won't be home tonight.

Ichinose Wakaba, who was being observed by the other party under various pretexts, was almost driven to the brink of nervous breakdown.

Therefore, not wanting Nagasaki Sase to notice anything amiss, Ichinose Wakaba had to go back before Sase said goodnight to him every night.

At that moment, after finishing her cup of tea and considering it for a long time, Toyokawa Shoko finally made up her mind and reached out her hand.

"Can you entrust your life to me?"

Actually, I wanted to end the chapter here, but unfortunately, I couldn't finish the fifth chapter.

Chapter 82 She is waiting

As night deepened, the corridor lights cast a soft glow, illuminating the slightly yellowed wooden door panels. Nagasaki Sase stood before the door, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the door with his knuckles, producing a crisp but not loud knocking sound.

"Boom, boom—"

The brown-haired girl paused, listened intently, but there was no sound from inside the room, not even a breath.

"Wakaba-kun, are you asleep?"

Nagasaki Sase called out softly, his tone tinged with a hint of probing.

I'm so strange.

When another person joined the house that belonged only to her and her mother, Nagasaki Sase thought she would feel very uncomfortable. However, in reality, she quickly got used to the presence of her younger brother, Ichinose Wakaba.

At the very beginning, on the first day, when Nagasaki Sase appeared at home and was introduced by her mother as her father's child, the brown-haired girl lost control of her emotions for the first time and did something that would worry her mother—she locked herself in her room.

Afterwards, Nagasaki Sase, hiding in his room, faced his mother who came to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"Shuangshi, I know that it will be very uncomfortable for you to suddenly have another person in the family, especially a boy who is the same age as you."

"But that child is very pitiful."

“His father, who is also your father, and his mother abandoned him when he was a child and left him in an orphanage.”

"When I found him, he was working at a convenience store."

“Shuangshi, do you know? When I heard that he started working in junior high school to ease the burden on the orphanage…”

“If it weren’t for me, he would have a happy family.”

"So, Shuangshi, can you get along well with him?"

"Wakaba-kun is not a bad kid."

Faced with his mother's pleas, Nagasaki Sase couldn't bring himself to utter the words "I don't want to," just like in his dream.

The brown-haired girl was used to helping others without expecting anything in return.

Even if that person, or their subsequent actions, will harm you.

So, Nagasaki Sase begins to accept the presence of a man her own age in her life, even though she doesn't like him and even dislikes him because of what happened in her dream.

Nagasaki Sase had no choice but to agree because of his mother and Ichinose Wakaba's even more tragic experience.

Also, after Nagasaki Sase was told by Wakaba Mutsu about Shoko's whereabouts, he met his younger brother, Toyokawa Shoko, and especially after seeing the person who saved him, he had a different attitude towards her - Hey Wakaba-kun, can you tell me about your relationship with Shoko?

Furthermore, based on their daily interactions, Nagasaki Sase could never reconcile the image of his taciturn younger brother with that of his father, who loved education, in his dreams.

So, enduring the images of being lectured in her memory, Nagasaki Sase began to accept her younger brother, wanting to get news of Toyokawa Shoko from him.

For example, could you ask your younger brother to find out which school Xiangzi is attending now?

The brown-haired girl, who had been unable to glean any further information from Wakaba Mutsu, whom she addressed as her younger brother, placed all her hopes on Ichinose Wakaba.

So she started to care about him.

Every morning, when preparing breakfast for my mother and myself, I would also prepare a portion for her.

At noon, since Tsukimori Academy provides free lunch, Nagasaki Sose usually doesn't prepare lunch.

However, after seeing Ichinose Wakaba prepare her own lunch, Nagasaki Sase also started preparing lunch for her: "It's okay, Wakaba-kun. Tsukimori's classmates are having a lunch party, so let's prepare some together!"

The same goes for evenings. When Nagasaki Sasuke is cooking dinner, he also prepares dinner for the extra person in the family.

In the past, Nagasaki Sase would prepare dinner for her mother and herself every night, even though her mother would not come home most of the time, or rather, 9 out of 10 times.

Nagasaki's mother: Sorry, Sosei, I have to work late again. We agreed to go home for dinner!

Nagasaki Sase: It's okay, Mom. I put dinner in the fridge. You can eat it if you're hungry when you get back.

Nagasaki's mother: Waaaaah, Sosei, I'm so lucky to have a daughter like you!!!

Nagasaki Sase: Mom, keep up the good work!

Sase Nagasaki has grown accustomed to eating alone, to the sound of cutlery clattering in the empty room, and to the silent process of clearing the table after finishing her meal.

The brown-haired girl no longer felt anything was wrong with such days, and even took it for granted.

But recently, a new person appeared across the table, making this taken-for-granted situation no longer so.

Unlike Nagasaki Sose's good friend, that person was taciturn, but rather possessed a different kind of quietness—not because he had nothing to say, but simply because he did not want to speak.

What are you thinking? Is it because of life in the orphanage that you don't want to talk?

Occasionally, Nagasaki Sase would look up and meet those quiet eyes. Although the other person would quickly look away, that brief moment of eye contact would still make her heart flutter slightly.

It should have been a good thing that she wasn't eating alone, but Nagasaki Sase felt uneasy. Was it because the peace of the past was gone, or because something else had come along? She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Or rather, Nagasaki Sase was afraid that she would start to look forward to it—to each night when she would no longer be alone at the dinner table, and to the fact that the person across from her would always be there.

The brown-haired girl dared not imagine, nor was she willing to acknowledge, this subtle feeling.

Nagasaki Sase had long been accustomed to living alone, to silent dinners, and to not expecting anything from anyone.

But now, this habit is beginning to be subtly shaken; she is starting to realize that she is unconsciously waiting for Ichinose Wakaba's return. During meals, she unconsciously slows down her movements, trying to prolong the meal, which is not lively but is no longer lonely.

We cannot expect anything from them.

Nagasaki Sōse muttered to himself, his fingers fiddling with his own as a way of keeping himself from thinking about those unnecessary thoughts.

Expectations lead to disappointment, and she didn't want to be disappointed. Rather than experiencing a brief moment of warmth only to be swallowed by the cold, she preferred to maintain a safe distance of solitude from the start.

After all, Ichinose Wakaba is not her biological younger brother whom she grew up with.

If the other person had been taken back by their mother when they were young, then Nagasaki Sosei wouldn't have been afraid, after all, they had lived together for many years—we were already a family.

Instead of being fifteen or sixteen years old now, a complete stranger despite being related by blood—someone who will definitely leave in the future.

Even if I'm getting used to Ichinose Wakaba's presence now, in a few years, she'll leave this house to go to university, meet someone she likes, get married, and then leave this house.

Then, Nagasaki Sasuke will be all alone in this house again.

As for Nagasaki Sase forming his own family and gaining a sense of security called home?

After experiencing that dream, the brown-haired girl resisted the act, fearing that her future husband would be a man like the father in her dream.

In short, Nagasaki Sase developed androphobia because of that dream.

However, despite suffering from androphobia, the brown-haired girl did not resist contact with Ichinose Wakaba, a man.

Is it because he's my younger brother?

Nagasaki Sase believes that it is because of their blood relationship that she does not resist contact with Ichinose Wakaba.

That's what the girl thought, but it was actually just because Nagasaki Sase had become desensitized to her younger brother.

明天开始恢复2更了，天天5更存稿是真不够的。4天更了20章干掉了10天的存稿。

The next extra update might have to wait until I'm done with my work in May, or maybe June? Anyway, I'll try my best to update more often; some plot points would be too drawn out if I didn't finish writing them all at once.

Chapter 83 What is the concept of "favoritism towards women"?

"Wakaba-kun, are you going to bed so early today?"

After getting used to Ichinose Wakaba's presence, Nagasaki Sose subconsciously began to fulfill the duties of an older sister.

Although some of them also intended to build a good relationship with the other party and then get information about Toyokawa Shoko from Ichinose Wakaba.

How do you build good relationships?

After searching online and getting some advice from Tsukimori's classmates who have younger brothers, Nagasaki Sase tried to say goodnight to Ichinose Wakaba every night before going to sleep.

So every night, Nagasaki Sosei would follow this advice and say goodnight to Ichinose Wakaba.

At first, Nagasaki Sase was a little uncomfortable.

Standing in front of Ichinose Wakaba's door, as she whispered "Goodnight" through the door, she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.

For Nagasaki Sase, such a move was so unfamiliar that the brown-haired girl's voice trembled slightly in the first few days.

"younger brother"?

Although their relationship is far from that of true siblings, the other person seems to feel awkward about this change.

In the first few times, Ichinose Wakaba's response was always hesitant, just a soft "hmm" and then silence filled the room.

But Nagasaki Sase did not stop.

She remembered her classmate from Tsukinomori telling her that to make someone aware of your presence, you first need to appear in their presence frequently. Even a simple farewell can gradually make the relationship feel natural.
