My love game with them that will lead to certain death

"Archer, come on, I'll take it seriously if you say that."

It’s not that he likes Haruno that much, but Toru Narumi finds that it’s difficult for this simulated self to have strong emotions towards anyone or anything - it’s like a vital part is missing somewhere in his heart that manages personal emotions.

Whether he likes or dislikes something, it doesn't really cheer him up. The emotions he displays in daily conversations are also a bit exaggerated, which is just his way of maintaining emotional stability to maintain the atmosphere of the conversation.

To put it bluntly, most of it is acting.

Playing the clown in social situations, appropriately making fun of yourself, playing the victim, exaggerating your emotions, or even going crazy - all of these will be more beneficial to the atmosphere of the entire conversation. While taking care of other people's emotions, you can also quietly lead the conversation in the direction you want.

"At least don't play the sweet, sweet scene in front of my house, or am I also a part of your play?"

Yukinoshita Yukino exposed Toru Narumi's thoughts, and it is not known whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally.

But for some reason, Ming Hai felt a little happy about the existence of such an outspoken person - even though he sounded nonchalant and asked for a beating when he spoke.

"What's wrong with acting? Life is a play, can't we act it out? I forgot what happened later."

"I'm sorry, Yukino-chan, Toru is a good person in other aspects, but his mental state is a little worrying sometimes."

Yukinoshita Yukino held her forehead helplessly as she looked at the two people in front of her who were making fun of the guys. She regretted letting the mentally unstable Minghai be the assistant of her club - not to mention that he was her sister's ex-boyfriend.

Chapter 7 She’s Just My Sister (Part 2)

"Since you are my senior, please act like one. Really, why did you and my sister fall in love with each other..."

"That's because Archer is actually quite charismatic."

When Toru Narumi had a gloomy face and was thinking "Yes, why on earth?", Yukinoshita Haruno responded in an intriguing way.

"Why, Yukino-chan, do you want to experience this too?"

After these words were spoken, Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned on the spot. After being stiff for a long while, she stammered and waved her hands.

"Ahem - I should have said it just now, I don't have that idea at all."

"puff."

Yang Nai smiled and patted the second-hand car parked behind Ming Hai.

"That's what I'm talking about. When we were dating before, Toru gave me a ride. Would you like to experience that, Yukino?"

"…I'm very sure that's not what you meant just now, sister."

Yukinoshita Haruno achieved: tease your sister once a day. (1/1)

"Oh my, this sisterly relationship is so twisted."

Ming Hai, who was obviously the protagonist of the topic but had been watching the show from the side, raised his eyebrows, turned around and started the second-hand car that he had bought with his own hard-earned money in this simulated future.

"Well, high school students are going to be late for school if they don't get to school now."

But today's edition of the Yukinoshita sisters' bickering is enough.

"...?"

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was used to being picked up and dropped off by her family's luxury car when going to and from school, was a little hesitant.

She looked at her sister who was smiling but not saying anything, then turned her gaze to the curly-haired young man who had already sat in the driver's seat, her eyes a little confused.

"Anyway, Archer said he's free, so let him be your full-time driver. You know this guy likes to meddle in other people's business. I can't do anything about him, so I agreed."

Yang No blinked at her sister, but said the words that would not make Yukino relax the most with the warmest smile.

"Or do you need your sister to accompany you? After all, the seat next to Archer has always been mine."

The black-haired girl remained silent, pretending to be calm but obviously looking away, unwilling to look at her sister.

"...Of course I know that."

Yukinoshita Yukino lowered herself awkwardly into the passenger seat of the cheap second-hand car and buckled her seat belt with her head lowered.

"It's okay, just sit a few more times."

The curly-haired young man stepped on the accelerator and responded to Yukinoshita Haruno's veiled words in a light tone.

"I won't charge you money or chase you away, but vomiting in my car is another matter."

"would not."

After hearing this reply, Yukinoshita Haruno thought for a moment, and then the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Then I'll leave Yukino to you without any worries, Toru. Please be patient with the patient~"

It is as meaningful as always.

Can't you twisted riddlers be more honest and state your thoughts clearly?

Toru Narumi was too lazy to respond. He tuned the car's Bluetooth radio to his favorite body temperature radio channel and drove away with Yukino.

The streets in the early morning were full of students going to school and those rushing to work. Ming Hai maintained a steady speed, enjoying the music playing on the radio while driving.

"Not counting Mr. Butler, this is indeed my first time sitting in someone else's passenger seat."

As the curly-haired young man enjoyed the morning breeze blowing in from the car window, the girl's whispered explanation blew past his ears along with the sound of the wind.

"Then I am honored to be the first part-time driver of Miss Yukinoshita. How do you feel?"

"It's obvious that you should get a new and better car, senior."

Yukinoshita Yukino is a person who basically never lies.

"…But it's fun to be driven to school by someone who's not family."

The surrounding scenery was rapidly receding behind me. The street with swaying tree shadows was filled with the faint floral fragrance unique to early spring. The curly hair of the young man next to me fluttered gently in the wind, and the sunlight cast a beautiful light color.

The boring experience of having a speechless conversation with the full-time driver on the way to school and having no conversation with her family along the way seemed to have become a distant experience in her memory.

“…The surrounding scenery also feels alive.”

"That's what spring is, after all."

The radio song ended and the host's voice attracted the two's attention.

[You may have seen it on major social media platforms. According to information provided by Naza, a newly discovered comet will visit the Earth for the first time in 5000 years and can be observed with the naked eye in parts of Japan...]

Comet… He hadn't heard of such news before entering the simulation.

There are too many changes happening in this future.

Ming Hai didn't care and turned the radio to another channel that was still playing songs, and continued to escort the girl beside him to their destination in the early morning of spring.

Spring is the time when everything comes back to life, and this is just a simulation, so he is used to it no matter what happens.

Little did he know that spring is the season for love - this was the only thing he forgot.

Chapter 8: Love Fortune Cookie (Part 1)

Spring is the season of love.

Many writers and pretentious literary youths like to associate the beautiful scene of cherry blossoms blooming and falling in early spring with the sweetness of first love, using the light pink cherry petals to symbolize the ambiguous feelings of boys and girls that are about to bloom but are difficult to express.

For Toru Narumi, this was actually a little difficult to understand.

Petals have never been a sign of love - after all, they are just the reproductive organs of angiosperms, and their biological function is just to combine male and female cells to produce seeds.

"Flowers are the reproductive organs or buttocks of plants, so the fragrance of flowers is the smell of the plant's buttocks, and nectar and pollen are the excrement of plants. Associating love with plant intercourse is just a wishful thinking given by humans."

Inside the service club's activity room, the curly-haired young man said this confidently under the complicated gazes of the other two.

"I wrote this paragraph in my novel, but the manuscript I submitted fell into oblivion."

"Fortunately, the editor's review level is still up to standard. This kind of statement would definitely not work in a novel."

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed subconsciously, but the emotion conveyed in his dead fish eyes as he looked at the curly-haired young man actually contained a hint of agreement.

"After all, not everyone can accept the facts. It is difficult for people to rationally accept the common sense of real life when pursuing romance."

"In the final analysis, it is just showing off knowledge in the wrong place, and it is normal to achieve little effect."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't take it seriously, and even showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, as if saying "No wonder you failed."

"Popular novels are now becoming fragmented, fast-paced recreational reading. No one wants to be lectured and criticized while entertaining themselves. This is human nature and the current situation. If you can't recognize this, it's understandable that your novels can't sell."

"Uh, are you always so straightforward in your speech?"

Hikigaya Hachiman turned his head and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with a subtly awkward expression.

Even Hachiman Hikigaya, who is not good at socializing and doesn't like to socialize, knows that he shouldn't speak too directly at certain times.

"Why don't you just say that his writing is so bad that readers won't buy it?"

Although Hikigaya-kun's "euphemism" is another kind of directness.

"I'm just telling the truth. The inability to accept the truth is their problem to reconcile with their fragile psychological condition, not my problem."

“But, there are such situations.”

Even though Yukinoshita Yukino mercilessly pointed out the problem, Ming Hai still looked nonchalant. He did not show any emotion such as shame, but just went with the flow and proposed a new hypothesis.

“It’s like I know my writing is terrible, but I can’t improve my literary attainments. Even if I know the answer to the problem, I can’t solve it—or rather, I don’t have the ability to solve it.”

The black-haired girl, who had been calm until now, paused while picking up the teacup. She was silent now, having just responded very skillfully.

"........."

bingo.

Ms. Yukinoshita Yukino, what secrets are you hiding?

Now is not the time to reveal the secret, so let's wait a little longer.

The curly-haired young man smiled faintly, resting his chin on his palm, and turned his gaze to the door of the service club's activity room.

Behind the transparent window on the door, you can just barely see a small pink thing swaying back and forth.

"Oh, it looks like we have a guest. Will you please come in?"

"Well!"

It was not until he spoke like this that the pink group outside the door was startled, and then a girl's small scream was faintly heard.

After a while, the guest outside pushed the door open somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hello, hello~ Um, I'm Yuigahama Yui from Class F, Year 2!"

The pink-haired girl who came had a slightly energetic bun on her head. Although she was wearing the same high school uniform as Hikigaya Yukinoshita and the others, she made some minor changes to the uniform in a slightly fancy way - for example, she changed the size of the waist and hem, and opened a few buttons at the neckline, making her look a little lazy and cheerful.

She glanced at the three people present one by one, and her cheerful and outgoing expression gradually changed.

"Eh? Why is there a handsome guy here who's not from our school...Ah, Xiaoqi is here too!"

"Ming Hai is a handsome guy, so I am also a "yes"? What's the point of being a hikikomori (stay-at-home kid), you bitch."

"I, I, I'm not a bitch! I, I'm still..."

"Thank you both for this very friendly first meeting."

Ming Hai stood up with a smile and brought out a chair for the guest, then bowed slightly and gestured to Yuigahama very politely.

"Please take a seat, Yuigahama-san. I'm Toru Narumi, an assistant at the Servant Club, and I'm also a college student. Although I'm not the same age as you, we can just put aside the red tape of seniors and juniors and get along with each other."

"Ok, ok... Narumi-senpai!"

The pink-haired girl was somewhat flattered and sat down obediently. Later she realized that the young man's sudden interruption was to help her out.

“Is this the charm of a reliable adult male…!”

"I don't think he's that reliable, but he's really eloquent."

Standing nearby, Yukinoshita Yukino continued to maintain her shocking speaking style, making the following comments while sipping her tea.

"Please don't be fooled by his seemingly handsome and charming appearance, Yuigahama-san. He is only good at talking."

"Thanks for the affirmation. It's also a good way to talk."

Ming Hai Toru calmly served the guests the freshly brewed black tea, not caring at all about Yukino's sharp comments on him.

"Ah, I can't say that..."

The pink-haired girl shook her head to express denial, and seemed to glance at the dead-eyed boy sitting in the corner who didn't look at her well.

"Stop talking about that and just state your demands."

Hikigaya Hachiman was a little unhappy about the word "shut-in", and although his face was full of unhappiness, he still got straight to the point.
