Teacher Daxiang, let’s form a lifelong band!

"What does this mean?!"

You were about to ask Lian what she meant by that, but when you turned around, you saw Lian, dressed similarly to you, jumping off a cliff with a smile on her face.

"Brother, if I dress up like her, would you be willing to look at me more?"

Volume 1: Chapter 16: The Final Piece of the Puzzle

【You witnessed Lian's death with your own eyes.】

You're broken.

[Because this simulation is conducted in real-life mode, the simulation has been forced to end for the sake of protecting the modeler's mental state.]

[Simulation ends. 】

【You have reached an ending: Farewell. 】

[This simulation has ended. This simulation is rated D-.]

[You received a simulated evaluation from the system: Ignorance is not a crime, but ignorance itself is a crime.]

[You have received the reward for this simulation: Roland-FA08 (88 keys)]

[You have obtained a key clue - the Lu siblings (Lu Li and Lu Lian).]

"..."

Swish.

Shoko Toyokawa sat up from the mat.

"Ha ha......"

There were beads of sweat on her head, and her face was pale with a strange redness. At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko's heart was beating fast.

She just...

She saw someone jumping off a cliff with her own eyes, not in the form of words, but actually saw the girl named Lian jumping off the cliff in front of her wearing her clothes.

"She... is really dead?"

Recalling everything she had just experienced, Toyokawa Shoko's voice trembled. Although she had long known that everything in the simulation was fake, the scene that just appeared in front of her was too real, so real that it scared her.

[Please remain calm, participants. Everything simulated is virtual, and everything you see is just a video artwork.]

"..."

After confirming once again that everything was fake, Shoko Toyokawa's heart finally settled down a little.

The real-life mode was too real. She felt like she had just seen someone jumping off a cliff. Fortunately, it was fake. If it was real, she might have collapsed as the simulation said.

However, the reward this time was really unusually rich, and this simulator really did not deceive her.

The 88-key Roland electronic keyboard is probably the best reward so far.

“It feels like I’m the protagonist of a movie…”

Recalling her simulation experience this time, Shoko Toyokawa really felt like she was the protagonist of a movie. The experience was not so obvious before the real-life mode was turned on, but this time she experienced almost all the main plots in person, so the feeling was particularly obvious.

Of course, her role as the protagonist this time was not very good. The male protagonist died because of her, and the male protagonist's sister also jumped off a cliff in the end. If she didn't know it was fake, she might have jumped down too.

"It's not like we didn't gain anything. Now that we have a clue, the next simulation should be able to solve his problem, right?"

After so many simulations, Xiangzi found that the problems she had in the simulation had basically been solved. The problem now lay with the male NPC. After she got clues about the other party through the real-life mode this time, she should be able to change the other party in the next simulation.

"What would a perfect ending be like?"

......

The next morning.

"We've already got four clues. Even if we don't get the perfect ending this time, it should be close enough. Let's start. I'm going to win this time!"

Sleeping is a very good way to relax. Last night's failure has dissipated with time, and a new day is waiting for someone to land with a brand new beginning.

"This one depends on my operation!"

"Open the mold!"

【...】

[Simulator is being built.]

[Simulation begins. 】

[The remaining number of simulations - 1, the current remaining number of simulations is 0. ]

After many failed simulations, you now hold four key clues. You think you can do it. This time you will no longer be a coward. You will take the initiative to attack!

【The clue "Toyokawa Shoko's Family Plan (Part 1)" is effective.】

【Line Speed ​​Toyokawa Shoko's Household Plan (Part 2) is in effect. 】

【Line Speed ​​Toyokawa Shoko's Family Plan (Part 3) is in effect. 】

【Line Speed ​​Toyokawa Shoko's Household Plan (Part 4) is in effect. 】

"Good, very good, this is the momentum! Charge!"

You took the initiative to find Toyokawa Shoko and told her that you knew her current situation and that she needed help. You expressed your love to her and told her that you wanted to overcome the difficulties with her.

"That's right, that's how we should fight. Why beat around the bush? Just take them down!"

【After hearing what you said, Toyokawa Shoko blushed. 】

"Um?!"

"What the hell, blushing?"

"This is wrong! I didn't bring any magical props this time!"

[Toyokawa Shoko tells you that she has always been secretly in love with you and is waiting for your confession.]

"???"

"what?!"

"What happened to your kidney?!"

【Toyokawa Shoko accepted your confession and told you that she had given up the idea of ​​forming a band.】

"Lu Li, I'm still in debt because of my father. I want to find a regular job to pay off the debt. After that, we can get married. Is that okay?" Toyokawa Shoko said to you.

"???"

"what's the situation?"

[Faced with Toyokawa Shoko's statement, how would you choose? ]

[① Refuse ruthlessly: Something is wrong, this is a trap, don't try to trick me!]

【②Tentatively agree: How about we find a hotel first to see if you're really serious?】

【③Accept the confession: Xiangzi, Auntie washes the railway.】

[④Bengshemai Liu: This woman must be planning to beat me to my knees and then take me home to be the wrath of the stars! Run!]

"What kind of mess is this? I'm choosing option ③."

[Looking at the sincere face of the girl in front of you, you embrace her in your arms.]

"Let's face these things together," you replied.

【You are dating Toyokawa Shoko.】

【A year later, you registered your marriage.】

[This was an ordinary wedding. There were no guests, no witnesses. The only people present were you, your wife, and your sister. Although it was simple, neither you nor your wife seemed to care. Just being together was fine. That's what you thought.]

After marriage, you each carry on with your ordinary work. Your wife has cut off contact with her former friends, and you are the only one in her world.

[As time went on, you gradually paid off your wife's debt.]

You have a lovely daughter.

[Finally, in a hospital, you two, now gray-haired, held hands, your eyes met, and finally, you walked towards the end of your lives together with a smile.]

[Simulation ends. 】

[This simulation has ended and the evaluation is A]

[You receive a simulated evaluation from the system: An ordinary yet happy life, just a little bit away from perfection.]

[Your simulation times +1]

You have obtained a clue: Toyokawa Shoko's Family Affairs (End)

[Toyokawa Shoko's Family Plan (End): The final piece of the puzzle that makes up Toyokawa Shoko's perfect ending. With it, you will open the door to the end. [Clue: Like you, she is willing to give up everything for the one she loves (but perhaps she has other secrets waiting for you to uncover).]]

Volume 1: Chapter 17: Same Bed, Different Dreams

[What are you going to do when Lu Li comes to you?]

[① Invite the other person to join the band you are about to form: This time, watch me take you to the top.]

[② Let him go: The Hen Card doesn't accept unknown people, get out!]

【③ Tell him you like him too: maybe it would be nice to give up music and just be a husband and mother from now on?】

[④ Flee in panic: Your sister is a yandere, run!]

"Normally, I should choose ①..."

Looking at these options, Toyokawa Shoko pondered what to choose. Normally, she would have chosen option ① without a second thought, but...

"This time, let's try a different path."

Thinking back to everything Lu Li did for her simulated self in the last simulation, Toyokawa Xiangzi felt that she should try another path. In reality, she would definitely not give up music, but if it was in a simulation, she could give it a try.

"I choose ③."

[Faced with Lu Li coming to your door, you change your attitude and take the initiative.]

[You are still upset about the death of the other party in the last simulation, and this time, you want to make it up to him.]

"Lu Lijun, I've actually liked you for a long time. Are you willing to be with me?"

[As the saying goes, it takes a lot for a girl to chase a boy. Under your active offensive, the other person's defense is instantly broken by you, and you become a couple.]

"Sure enough, he likes me."

Seeing that the other person was with her immediately after she chose ③, Toyokawa Shoko showed an expression of "as expected" on her face.

You are married.

Your husband doesn't know what you're thinking. He doesn't know that this is just an experiment, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

[The wedding was very simple. He apologized to you and promised you a bright future.]

[After marriage, your life is peaceful. Your husband works hard to earn money, and you find a normal job. To prevent your husband from dying from overwork like in the last simulation, you care about his health.]

Your husband is deeply touched by your concern, but he doesn't know that this is just a form of redemption, or atonement, for you.

【In fact, all you think about is yourself.】

You love music, and you have your own pursuits and dreams. Ave Mujica not only carries the reality of your desire to make money, but also your hope of revolutionizing your life through music. But this time, you gave up all of this to atone for your sins.

"..."

[In this life, your life was peaceful and tranquil. Thanks to your husband and wife's hard work, the debt you owed your scumbag father was paid off. You gave birth to a daughter for your husband, and on the day your daughter was born, your husband smiled with joy.]

【However......】

This is not what you want.

【Actually, you don’t love him that much. 】
