Teacher Daxiang, let’s form a lifelong band!

Upon hearing the news, you and Wakaba Mu immediately packed up your belongings and returned to Tokyo. What awaited you were two lonely coffins and countless unsent letters.

[You randomly open a letter. These letters are all written by the Wakaba couple to Wakaba Mu.]

[The contents of the letters are all from the Ruoye couple, expressing their apologies and longing for Ruoye Mu. They are one letter per month, and there are as many letters as there were months you and Ruoye Mu were gone together.]

[The last letter was written just last month. Even before their death, Ruoye and his wife wrote letters to their daughter. They regretted their actions and wanted to say sorry to Mu before they died, but they never got the chance to apologize.]

【Tick-tock. Tick-tock.】

[You saw your wife shed tears for the first time. She knelt before her parents' spirit tablets and wept uncontrollably. She knew that her parents were healthy and had no illness. This so-called illness was caused by their longing for her absence.]

After your parents passed away, your wife inherited everything from the Ruoye family. You and your wife, Ruoye Mu, moved back to the Ruoye family mansion. However, after returning to the Ruoye family mansion, your wife fell ill.

You take good care of your wife. You know why she is sick. You want to comfort her, but you can't.

【Half a year later.】

"Lu Li, I'm such a bad woman. I killed my parents and ruined your life." Ruo Yemu, who was lying in your arms with only his last breath left, apologized to you.

"Lu Li, if there is an afterlife, promise me that if there is an afterlife, you will not like me anymore..."

[After saying this, your wife left this world with regret.]

After your wife passed away, you held a funeral for her.

You transferred all of your and your wife's property to your sister. After doing all this, one night, unknown to everyone, you carried your wife's ashes into the depths of Tokyo Bay.

"Mu, I told you I'll be with you forever."

......

Since everyone doesn't support the adjustment of leave, I'll just write another chapter in the middle of the night, so that I can touch it directly tomorrow~

Volume 1: Chapter 97 I Don't Need It

【You fulfilled your promise to be with each other forever. 】

【You choose to commit suicide for love. 】

[Simulation ends. 】

[The simulation is over, and this simulation evaluation is A-level]

[You receive a simulated evaluation from the system: A somewhat incomplete life, but one worth remembering.]

[Simulation Settlement: Since you didn't learn any special skills in this simulation, the reward for this simulation settlement will be changed to a random skill level increase for the host.]

"A random skill?"

"Brother, please, give me a high-level light novel randomly. If I can get a high-level light novel randomly this time, I can directly break through to the Grandmaster level of light novels!"

[Congratulations, your skill, "Now You See Me," has been upgraded!]

"Zhao! What is this?"

"Why is it Now You See Me?! Am I really destined to be on a sewing machine for the rest of my life?"

[Amazing Thief (Advanced): "My devilish heart remains unrepentant. I do not seek enlightenment, but only wish to grasp the sharp blade, gaze upon the dripping blood, and be a hero for a moment!" - It is precisely because I can create miracles that I am a phantom thief.]

[Your simulation times +1]

You have obtained a clue: Wakaba Mu's Secret (Part 4)

[Rukaba Mu's Secret (Part 4): She doesn't seem as heartless as she appears, and she doesn't seem as affectionate as she appears...]

【Settlement completed.】

"A useless skill has been upgraded to a high level. Should I be happy or frustrated?"

[Host, accept your fate. You are destined to become the emperor of the dark world in this life. It is not too late to realize it now.]

"Screw you, Emperor of the Dark Realm! I'm telling you, if I ever become a Shocking Thief in real life, your BYD system will be the culprit!"

【sodayo？】

"Don't talk like Soyo, it's disgusting."

[Okay, by the way, host, how do you feel about this simulation? ]

"It's okay. Apart from the slightly regrettable ending where my buddy commits suicide for love, everything else is pretty good."

[No, host, wasn't this suicide for love your own idea? ]

"That's my own idea, bro. How would I have gotten such a high score if I hadn't committed suicide? I've figured out your simulator's rating system. Anyway, my actions must be consistent with my liking for [the heroine]. So, what else can I do if I don't commit suicide?"

[Oh, so that's the reason. I thought you, the host, had also become a master of gravity.]

"How is that possible? I'm a normal person, okay? So, what does clue four mean?"

Lu Li focused his attention on the fourth clue he had just obtained.

[She doesn't seem as ruthless as she seems, she doesn't seem as affectionate as she appears...]

"This clue...why does it feel a little different from the first three clues? Dog System, can you explain to me what this is? Is there a bug again?"

[No, absolutely not! This simulation is absolutely normal. As for why the clues are like this, I'll have to ask you to slowly research it yourself...]

......

At the same time, at Wakaba's house.

All your wishes have been fulfilled, and you feel that you have lived enough in this life.

[So, you ended your life, and finally, you closed your eyes peacefully in the arms of your husband Lu Li.]

[Simulation ends. 】

【...】

As soon as the simulation ended, the sound of the simulator appeared in Ruoye Mu's ears.

"Ms. Wakaba Mutsu! Didn't we agree to make this simulation more normal?!"

"Ok?"

"Is this normal?"

"Is there anything unusual about this simulation?"

"Mom and Dad paid enough, and Lu Li also achieved his wish to be with me. And I also saw the regretful look on Mom and Dad's face that I wanted to see. Well, it's very normal and perfect."

Ruoye Mu took a look at the simulation record just now.

[In order to achieve a so-called "normal" life, this time you ask Lu Li to take you away.]

【So, at your suggestion, you two went to a small village in the countryside.】

[You and Lu Li lived a very peaceful life.]

Your father and mother were very frightened when they found out you were missing. They didn't expect you to have the courage to leave with a stranger.

[In order to persuade you to return home, your parents found the place where you and Lu Li were living in seclusion. They hope that you can return home with them.]

[However, when facing your parents, you simply took out the M1917 that your husband had left at home for you to use for self-defense, with a blank expression. The bullet whizzed past your father's cheek, and he was terrified.]

"Mu, don't do this. Mom and Dad know we're wrong. Come home with us." Your parents begged.

"I don't want to go home." You drove your parents away. Whether they knew it was wrong or not is none of your business. In this life, you never intended to return to the Ruoye family.

After your parents left for a while, they began writing you letters, one by one. Each letter was filled with apologies and words of hope that you would return home. However, you didn't care because this was your punishment for them. If you couldn't punish them in real life, you could punish them in the simulation.

[And so, several years passed, and your parents finally passed away because of missing you.]

After receiving this news, you and your husband returned to the Wakaba residence. Looking at your deceased parents, you shed tears.

【These tears do not come from regret, but from need.】

Because you decided to live a "normal" life this time, and since it was a "normal" life, crying after your parents' death was necessary, so you cried.

After taking revenge on your parents, you and Lu Li returned to the Ruoye residence and continued to live a peaceful life.

"Well, this kind of simulation is quite normal."

This time the simulation was normal under her settings.

"Since you think this is normal, Miss Ruoye, why did you choose to end your life in the end? Wouldn't it be better to experience the rest of your life?"

"Because... there's no need."

【what? 】

"The simulation is fake, right? If that's the case, why should I spend the rest of my life with him? For me, isn't it enough to just do what I need to do and then find a suitable time to die?"

[But, if you choose to die like this, won't your partner in the simulation be very sad? He truly loves you!]

"But he loves the me in the simulation, right? What does that have to do with the real me?"

[Don't you want to fight for it in real life? Maybe it can change your current situation?]

"unnecessary."

"Lu Li is the person Xiangzi and Soyo like."

"I... don't need it."

Volume 1: Chapter 98 It’s so cold

【Ms. Wakaba Mutsu...】

"Okay, can you continue the simulation? If not, I'm going to sleep."

【...】

I'm afraid that's not possible tonight.

"I see. That's it, then."

【Good night, I wish you a sweet dream. 】

She walked back to the bed in her slippers, turned off the bedside lamp, and adjusted the air conditioner to the lowest setting. The girl wrapped herself in the quilt and curled up into a ball...

She doesn't need anyone's love, or rather, in this world, in this cage called Ruoye, it is impossible for anyone to love her.

No matter what she does in the simulation, it will not change reality. What does it matter even if she is happy in the simulation?

The cold air from the air conditioner blew onto the girl through the gap in the quilt.

so cold......

Speaking of which, how many days has today been since I was locked up by my parents?

Day three? Or day four?

I think the simulation has been carried out four times?

A life as a pirate, a life as a refugee, a life of freedom after killing everyone, and the so-called "normal" life just now.

That's almost it.

My parents gave me one week. If I don’t make a choice, I will be sent abroad. It’s really time to make a choice.

Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow.

Let her spend one last day as Mu tomorrow, let her indulge in the simulation and spend the last day as [Mu]. She will experience the last few lives she has ever imagined.

Then, she could go and admit her mistake to her parents, and then...

There will be no more Mu in this world. As the daughter of the Wakaba family, she will fulfill her parents' wishes...

......

"Xiangzi, Mu hasn't come to school for the fourth day..."

In the park, while Lu Li was busy, Nagasaki Motoyo and Toyokawa Shoko were discussing the topic of Wakaba Mu. For these two people, Wakaba Mu was a very important person, so they were very anxious about Wakaba Mu's current situation.

"I know, Mu hasn't replied to my message for a long time."

Toyokawa Shoko glanced at her mobile phone. She had asked Mu what was wrong every day in the past few days, but all her messages showed as unread.
