[Simulation Start]
[Remaining Simulation Attempts: 0]
[Simulated Character: Asano Nao]
[Initial Relationship: Unrequited Love, Friends]
So, they really are friends now? Minami Yuuki was surprised.
Upon reflection, it wasn’t that strange. Although he and Asano Nao had only known each other for a day, both he and Asano Nao had been observing each other for a long time.
[You quickly adapt to your new life after crossing over. Using some tricks, you infiltrate the Asano household and become friends with Asano Nao. Because you’ve spent all your living expenses, you start eating at the Asano house.]
Sure enough, the beginning has changed.
[Asano Nao is both happy and nervous about your arrival. You are like the sun, bringing warmth but also potentially draining the vitality from her life.]
[Every time after eating, you stay at the Asano house for a while. You pull back the curtains and open the windows, briefly dispelling the darkness around Asano Nao. She has vaguely noticed this. On the third day you meet, a Sunday at noon, she cannot hold back and asks you why you come to her house.][In response to her question, you choose…]
[1. “Of course, it’s because I fell in love with you, silly woman.”]
[2. “Living alone is too exhausting. Sister, become my slave!”]
[3. “I was swindled by a bad woman and lost all my living expenses. I have no money for food, so I have to rely on you, sister.”]
[4. Free Simulation]
Minami Yuuki looked at the options. Option three was the most realistic, but options two and one also made sense, as he did have such thoughts.
Considering Asano Nao’s personality and the development of their relationship, option one was more straightforward. Being straightforward is better than beating around the bush.
He chose option one.
[You tell Asano Nao that it’s because you fell in love with her. The bowl in her hand falls to the ground, and her entire face turns as red as a tomato, which amuses you.]
[You pretend to propose to Asano Nao, enjoying her flustered and bewildered reaction.]
[As expected, Asano Nao rejects you. Faced with unexpected situations, she instinctively resists.]
Memories of the scene emerge.
“Why do you come to my house?” Minami Yuuki put down his bowl and looked at Asano Nao with a justified expression. “Of course, it’s because I fell in love with you, sister!”
His words were so calm and natural that Asano Nao was stunned for two seconds before slowly reacting. Her hand trembled, and the rice bowl first fell onto the table, then rolled twice before falling to the ground with a crash.
The sound of the bowl breaking seemed like a signal, and a blush immediately spread across her face.
“Ehh—?”
Asano Nao dragged out the sound, retreating sharply. The chair behind her scraped against the floor, making a piercing noise.
Minami Yuuki covered his ears. “Is it necessary to be so surprised? Since you peek at me every day, it means you have feelings for me too, right? Once I become an adult, let’s get married!”
“Ehh?”
“Whether it’s a Western wedding or a traditional Japanese one, I like both. White kimonos and wedding dresses are both beautiful, so let’s have two weddings, one in your hometown and one in mine.”
“Ehh?”
“After marriage, we should have a daughter and name her Rikka. I hope she’ll be a gentle child.”
“Ehh?”
“You must be rich, right? After marriage, I can work, or stay home with you. But if we have a child, it’s better if I go to work, right?”
“Ehh?”
Asano Nao’s brain couldn’t process such intense data and completely crashed, becoming a robot that could only utter interjections.
Seeing her dumbfounded look, Minami Yuuki almost burst out laughing.
He delivered an additional attack: “Sister, did you agree? I think we should speed things up. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. To ensure our daughter doesn’t fall behind, shouldn’t we bring her into the world as soon as possible? Ten months from now sounds perfect.”
“No, no!” Asano Nao shook her head frantically, waving her hands.
She moved like a crab, waving her claws while sidling to the corner of the wall, feeling safe in the 90-degree angle.
“Is it that having her early is not okay? Sister, you’re such a traditional woman?”
“None of it is okay!”
Asano Nao huddled in the corner, her face burning red.
It wasn’t that she rejected Minami Yuuki. She had experienced such scenarios in her dreams many times, but she knew they were just dreams and that it was unlikely to become reality.
So, faced with Minami Yuuki’s words, she wasn’t delighted but rather startled.
It was like a cat being called to dinner, running happily to the bowl, only to find the owner pouring an entire bag of cat food into its bowl, creating a small mountain. Even the greediest cat would pause, deeply shocked, wondering if something was wrong and if this might be its last meal.
“You rejected me so decisively!” Minami Yuuki held his head, pretending to be heartbroken. “My first love ended before it even began!”
Huddled in the safe corner, Asano Nao gradually calmed down, reflecting on the conversation.
What did I just say? Why did I reject him?
If heaven gave her another chance, she would definitely say, “Sure, no problem, let’s go to the bedroom right now!”
Could she do it again?
Shame turned into regret, making her sad. She hugged her knees and cautiously glanced at Minami Yuuki.
The boy was smiling at her, his smile full of mischief.
It was a joke after all!
Asano Nao’s face, already red from embarrassment, added a touch of anger.
She didn’t dare glare at Minami Yuuki, so she lowered her head and muttered, “You’re a bad guy!”
“Actually, it’s because I ran out of money,” Minami Yuuki said seriously. “I came to Misaki for the first time and accidentally spent all my living expenses. If you kick me out, I’ll have to starve until next month.”
“Please answer like that from the start!” Asano Nao squatted down, cleaning up the broken bowl and spilled rice.
As her emotions gradually stabilized, her heart grew heavy. She felt it was her fault for believing Minami Yuuki’s joke and getting all flustered. Any mentally sound person wouldn’t take a confession seriously, right?
Asano Nao, you’re such a narcissistic woman! Why would Yuuki-kun ever like you?
She looked at Minami Yuuki, and the boy’s face was still smiling, which relieved her.
If her narcissistic misunderstanding made him feel awkward, it would be a huge crime.
Minami Yuuki came to her side, crouching to help clean up the broken pieces.
“It wasn’t a joke,” the boy said.
“Huh?” Asano Nao’s hand paused, and the sharp edge of a porcelain shard cut across her palm. The wound stung, and blood dripped onto the floor.
“Where’s the first aid kit?” Minami Yuuki hurried to fetch the medical supplies.
Asano Nao clutched her hand, squatting there, touching her burning earlobe with her other hand. Her mind was full of the boy’s words.
Not a joke, what does that mean?
[Asano Nao realized your confession was a prank, feeling a bit annoyed. This incident caused a small change in your relationship. Although Asano Nao was reluctant to admit it, she did start to think: maybe she could have you.]
[On Monday, the school day arrives, and you ask Asano Nao to prepare a bento for you. The bento is very sumptuous, and a girl who frequently observes you is surprised by it.]
[After school, the girl calls out to you, and you both walk to the back of the school building.]
A new character appears?
Minami Yuuki was surprised. Who is this girl who frequently observes me?
There were no answers in his memory, as his predecessor was too dense, and he had only attended school for one day.
