"I've already said that this is just a pre-set scene...Is it not okay for me to put it into my novel?"

"Okay, okay, okay. But I'd like to hear the sequel, Mr. Novelist with a wild imagination."

"The follow-up is..."

The curly-haired boy let out a sigh somewhat listlessly, his thoughts drifting back to the scene when he was caught between the two Yukinoshita sisters.

Yukinoshita Haruno, who had just stuck her head out of the car window to greet Yukino, slowly froze her eyes when she caught sight of the curly-haired boy behind Yukino.

Ming Hai is not an emotionally dull idiot, it is certainly impossible for him not to notice the subtle change in other people's attitude - this is obviously not the right attitude to have towards someone you meet for the first time.

No way, are you all affected by the simulation and still have memories?

Regardless, Narumi decided to play dumb for now and simply waved and nodded politely at Hinano.

"Hello, Senior."

"........."

Yukino, who was standing in front of him, turned her head slightly and looked at the boy with a meaningful look.

"What's wrong, Yukinoshita-san? Is it because my handsome face is so charming that you can't take your eyes away—"

"Hello, hello, this... classmate I don't know how to address."

Yukinoshita Haruno took a look at the Sobu High School uniform on Ming Hai, and a bright but cold smile reappeared on her face.

"But how did you know that I'm your senior? We... should be meeting for the first time, right?"

Yukinoshita Haruno pointed out the crux of the problem in a casual tone, and Narumi Toru also understood why Yukino turned her head to look at him just now.

Oops, is the vest going to fall off so soon...!

Chapter 6: Cat and Mouse Game

"So, actually, you... uh, your friend, is just an ex-girlfriend of the older sister in the game, and then becomes closer and closer to the younger sister in the game, but in real life, he has nothing to do with either of them - I guess that's how I understand it."

After being forbidden to play the bass, Miss Liang sat in the boss chair, swaying from side to side out of boredom, as if she was thinking about something. Although she was thinking seriously, to outsiders it looked more like she was in a daze.

In order to make his troubles more understandable, Toru Narumi embellished the future simulation into a "game", and his entanglement with the Yukinoshita sisters was also deconstructed into a more superficial and simple relationship of Internet friends.

After all, if he told himself that he was experiencing some first-person future simulation game, people would probably look worried and call 120 to send him to a psychiatric department.

"I don't play games with strong social attributes, so I don't really understand. But what does the things in the game have to do with reality?"

Ryo hit the nail on the head with his calm but steady voice, and the curly-haired boy nodded in agreement.

It may also be because of the influence of his own "emotional indifference" attribute in that simulation, even though Minghai met Yukino again in reality, he did not feel too much in his heart.

He had the same idea as Liang, that "simulation" itself was just a game with a strong sense of immersion, and there was no need to take the game content too seriously.

Yukinoshita Yukino, whom he once sincerely wanted to protect, may remain in the simulation forever.

If the Yukinoshita Yukino, whom I have never met in real life, is not the person with whom I have experienced escape and separation in the simulation, there is no need to transfer the feelings that I once gave to the terminally ill Yukino to her, which will only cause more trouble to both parties.

After all, simulation is simulation and life is life.

"Then what will be the direction of our novelist Xiao Hai's story?"

Liang raised her eyebrows slightly, causing her face, which seemed to be calm and without any ups and downs, to show some change in expression.

"Then..."

Ming Hai leaned his upper body on the counter to support his entire weight, and his memory came back again with the words.

"How did you know I was your senior? This should be our first meeting."

When faced with the questions raised by Yukinoshita Haruno, his expression remained calm and composed.

"Because Yukinoshita Haruno-senpai is a well-known outstanding graduate of our school."

Although Ming Hai always gives people the impression of being an ordinary person with an unremarkable appearance, when he opens his mouth, intelligent people can naturally perceive how strong his ability to adapt to changes is.

"The senior's photo is still hanging on the wall of outstanding students. She is very beautiful when she smiles. It's obvious that she and Yukinoshita are sisters."

Yukinoshita Haruno raised her eyebrows slightly. She originally thought that Ming Hai was just another high school boy who was infatuated with his own sister, but the junior in front of her was more sociable than she thought.

And for some reason... she always felt that this curly-haired boy gave her an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him somewhere a long time ago.

Did I meet him somewhere before...? But I have no memory of him at all, I just feel a sense of comfort and familiarity towards him for no apparent reason -

And the guilt that was lingering in my heart for some reason.

Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't understand why she had such complex and deep emotions towards the junior she met for the first time, but fortunately she was very good at concealing her emotions, so she was able to smile without changing her expression.

"Oh, you are so sweet, Junior. Are you a classmate of Yukino-chan? Do you want us to give you a ride?"

"…No, he is not."

Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been standing quietly between the two of them, suddenly spoke up and joined the conversation. In stark contrast to her smiling sister, her expression seemed somehow even colder and more distant than usual.

"We are in the same grade, and Narumi-kun is a member of my club."

Yukino explained the relationship between the two in a few brief words, and the way she addressed the boy in a way that was appropriate to his appearance also deepened the smile on Yotsuno's face.

"Hmm~ I see. Narumi-kun... this is your junior's name."

"What's wrong, sister?"

Yukino tilted her head, and for some reason there was some inexplicable emotion in her eyes when she looked at her sister.

"Could it be possible that you knew Narumi-kun before?"

It was a very straightforward question, but it also made Narumi look forward to the answer that Haruno would give.

"Well………"

Yang Noi stepped past her sister and came to the curly-haired boy with interest, looking him up and down with blinking eyes - completely unaware of the slightly frowned brows of Yukino who was left out.

After carefully looking at the boy's appearance for a long time, she gave the answer.

"...No, I'm sure I haven't seen it before."

"........."

Ming Hai, who was holding his breath, and Yukino, who lowered her head slightly with a complicated expression, both remained silent at the same time.

"As expected, no one will remember me... I guess everything in the simulation should just stay in the simulation."

This is the psychological activity of Ming Hai Toru, who is a little melancholy.

"My sister doesn't remember anything... So this time, maybe they won't be like in the simulation..."

This is what Yukino Yukinoshita was thinking, feeling a little relieved.

"After all, if I had seen such a cute and handsome boy before, I would definitely have been impressed by him~"

But Miss Yukino's relief did not last long, as the straight attack from Yangno made her nerves, which had just relaxed, instantly tense up.

"Hey, what's your junior's full name? Can I know? Yukino-chan has a tough personality, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. If she ever oppresses you, you can complain to her, okay?"

"Ah, my name is Narumi Toru—"

"Is that all right, sister? It's rare that you remember to pick me up and take me home. Are you planning to delay like this any longer?"

In a rare moment, Yukino Yukinoshita rudely interrupted their conversation. She opened the door and got into the back seat of the luxury car without looking back. Ming Hai and Yang No looked at each other, and Yang No ended the conversation hastily with a smile.

"Oh, this kid seems to be in a bad mood today. Let's chat together next time we meet, Toru-kun~"

With a smile as beautiful as a flower, Yang Nai nodded goodbye to the curly-haired boy, then got into the passenger seat of the car, fastened her seat belt, and waved goodbye to him through the car window.

Fortunately, the "battlefield" with the Yukinoshita sisters was safely passed without any danger.

"...Wait, I haven't done anything wrong in real life, why are you so frightened?"

Ming Hai shook his head, put all these troublesome problems behind him, and walked towards his part-time job.

The above is the full picture of the incident that the boy knew.

Of course, there are things he doesn't know.

On the way home, in the Yukinoshita family's luxury car.

"Xue-no, you are so funny~ You have become a lot more interesting recently. Some time ago, you even called me out of the blue and asked me if I had any ex-boyfriends...Haha, how is that possible? You are so cute~"

Yukinoshita Haruno was making such jokes to her sister, but the black-haired girl sitting quietly in the back seat remained silent, her calm and deep blue eyes looking at the scenery outside the window.

Seeing this, Jing Yang didn't feel embarrassed, instead the curve of his mouth became even more intense.

"That Toru-kun is your club member. At first glance, he seems like a nice kid. You two should get along well~"

Sure enough, when she mentioned a certain boy, Yukino, who was sitting in the back seat, moved her shoulders somewhat unnaturally, and finally adjusted her sitting position to resolve this abruptness.

"...I would do the same without you telling me, sister."

"Well, I'm relieved about that. Although what I'm about to say may sound a bit troublesome to you..."

Yang No sat up straight in her seat, turned her head and looked at Yukino, whose expression was also a little stiff.

"But, Yukino, you still have to pay attention and observe that Toru-kun carefully."

"……Why do you say that?"

"I know too well what a person's expression will be when he is hiding something. Although that child looks obedient and honest, he has not hidden his true colors well."

In her eyes, the well-behaved and sensible curly-haired boy was like a cunning young fox. After all, his easy-going and friendly smile and blinking eyes were the best tricks to lower other people's psychological defenses.

Fortunately, the other person is younger than her. If he was the same age, maybe he could become a mature vixen on par with her.

"But this kind of person is also very interesting. I don't deny that. If you are tired of dealing with this kind of guy, it's not impossible to let me find out for you--"

"Please do not do this."

Yang No's enthusiastic proposal was met with Yukino's unequivocal rejection.

"...?"

This was the first time that Yang Nai was rejected so directly by her sister, and the upward curve of her lips froze.

She turned around and Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting by the window, met her gaze.

The sister who in her memory always avoided her gaze and accepted her requests and instructions submissively - at this moment, she directly rejected her idea.

"Sister, please don't attack "my" members."

As if declaring her sovereignty, Yukinoshita Yukino returned Nagisa to her own camp that could not be interfered with.

This was indeed somewhat unexpected for Yukinoshita Haruno.

"...Oh, it looks like this isn't just a simple relationship between a member and the president."

The intuitive Yang No looked at her sister with a serious expression, and after thinking for a moment, she asked a new question.

"Is it someone you like? Are you dating secretly?"

"It hasn't come to that point yet."

"Rather than being intimate, it's better to say that we are just ordinary friends."

"........."

Faced with Yang No's ruthless exposure, Yukino looked away with a little loneliness, but there was also a different kind of emotion undercurrent.

"But... we can't just be ordinary friends..."

She whispered softly, making sure that only she could hear it.

Chapter 7 I Predicted Your Prediction

After extricating himself from the simulated game, it took Ming Hai nearly three or four days to gradually adjust his mentality.

Everything in the simulation was unforgettable to him, but he understood that being addicted to games was harmful to one's health and it was better to seize the present moment.

After all, the simulation is over and life must go on.

After that, the Servant Club received various commissions, some difficult and some hilarious, just as they had experienced in the simulation before.

All of this was consistent with Toru Narumi's memory, including the girl named Yuigahama Yui who entered the service club and wanted to make handmade cookies for someone.

In this case, the hell-level cooking competition is just around the corner.

Although Ming Hai boy seemed to be calm, he actually brought some emetics when he came to school.

After all, after eating Miss Yukinoshita Yukino's masterpiece in the simulation, he was almost carried to the hospital by Hikigaya Hachiman for gastric lavage, so it would be great to be able to make some preparations early.
