Love Comes After Simulation

Chapter 101



Chapter 101

Minami Yuuki didn’t speak to Ibuki Yuko not out of indifference but because he was thinking about this clever and cunning doll-like girl.

He didn’t want to greet Ibuki Yuko right now.

The memory of her affectionate and clingy behavior in the free simulation was still fresh in his mind.

If he approached her now and faced her coldness and distance, it would be too cruel for his heart.

He needed to take a break for a day or two. After a while, he would be able to let go of the feelings from the simulation and face her calmly.

The classroom curtains were wide open, letting in bright sunlight that bathed the boys and girls in their prime.

Chitose Kazumi sat at her desk, reading a light novel. She was so engrossed in her book that she didn’t notice Minami Yuuki’s arrival.

It wasn’t until his school uniform pants entered the edge of her lowered field of vision, and his figure blocked the light on her book, that she looked up, startled, causing her hand to tremble and the book to slide onto the desk.

“Is your first reaction to seeing me really fright?” Minami Yuuki sighed, pretending to be dejected.

“No,” Chitose Kazumi hastily tried to explain but couldn’t find the words.

She was startled because the person she liked suddenly appeared beside her.

How could she easily say something so embarrassing!

“Just saying ‘no’ isn’t very convincing.”

“Sorry.”

“If apologies worked, Japan would have become the number one country in the world long ago.”

Chitose Kazumi, backed into a corner, found herself strangely calm in this tight spot.

“Bullying me?” She realized Minami Yuuki’s intent, looking up at him with a slightly red face.

“Not exactly bullying. If you accompany me after school, I’ll forgive you.”

Her classmate who sat in front of her walked in, and Minami Yuuki stepped aside, patting Chitose Kazumi on the shoulder. “So, it’s settled.”

Huh? I haven’t agreed yet!

Though, there’s no way I could refuse.

Chitose Kazumi covered her burning face.

Accompany Yuuki-kun after school? This is a date, right? It must be a date! And today is Friday, which means tomorrow is the weekend. If she used the excuse of staying over at a friend’s house, she could stay out all night!

This wonderful thought, like the dazzling light from the tiles at the window’s edge, made her dizzy. However, that light was quickly blocked. She realized her plan had a major flaw.

Setting aside the question of whether Minami Yuuki, who had previously rejected her, would let her stay over, the main issue was—she had no friends.

Earlier this month, something happened back in her rural hometown, causing her to start school two days late. Her classmates had already formed their groups, and she, not being good at socializing, couldn’t integrate into any of them.

This meant she had no friends to cover for her, making it impossible to stay out all night.

This realization deeply discouraged her, and she was distracted throughout the day’s classes.

She thought about Ibuki Yuko. There were rumors among the girls in the class that Minami Yuuki had been often seen with her lately.

Could it be that he wanted her to accompany him after school to meet Ibuki Yuko and make her give up?

She was anxious and uncertain.

The final bell rang. She hastily packed her pencil case into her bag and looked at Minami Yuuki.

“Let’s go,” Minami Yuuki said, standing up.

They walked straight out of the school, not heading to the second-year classrooms or waiting at the school gate, which relieved Chitose Kazumi.

So, they weren’t going to see Ibuki Yuko.

That means it’s a date, right?

Standing in front of the Asano residence, she saw Asano Nao’s figure appear from behind the door, and her fantasies were shattered.

This woman, though dressed plainly, had an amazing figure and a beautiful face.

Who is she!

She thought Ibuki Yuko was a formidable rival, but she hadn’t expected the true “big” rival to be here! This size difference is too unfair!

Following Minami Yuuki into the house, Chitose Kazumi sat on the sofa, thanking Asano Nao for the oolong tea she served, feeling dejected inside.

No wonder she failed to confess her feelings; such a beautiful woman was by Minami-kun’s side.

“This is my older sister, Asano Nao,” Minami Yuuki introduced.

So she’s his sister!

The tender sprout of Chitose Kazumi’s emotions, which had wilted, stood tall once again.

Yuuki continued, “As you can see, she’s a stay-at-home girl. I hope you can be her friend, but of course, if you feel uncomfortable, you can refuse anytime.”

How could she refuse?

This was a perfect opportunity to get closer to Minami-kun!

Chitose Kazumi was full of determination as she introduced herself, “I’m Chitose Kazumi. Just call me Kazumi. Can I call you Nao-nee?”

“Sure,” Asano Nao replied, equally excited.

Indeed, Chitose Kazumi existed!

That dream was real!

Her happy future with Yuuki-kun was definitely real!

Though there had been a minor mistake, she could correct it with a bit more effort… probably.

Nao tapped her head—no “probably”!

She couldn’t retreat anymore. In the dream, she had retreated too many times, causing Yuuki-kun so much trouble!

This time, she had to be strong!

Not just for Miu and Rikka, but she needed to have even more daughters!

Go for it!

You’re no longer Asano Nao; you are now—Minami Nao!

Her gaze was resolute.

The two enthusiastic women began conversing in the living room.

Having had few friends since childhood, Chitose Kazumi had read many novels and manga and played some games. She and the seasoned otaku Asano Nao had a great time discussing these topics.

Initially, Minami Yuuki had to guide the conversation, but once they got into it, he, with his limited ACGN knowledge, couldn’t keep up.

He went upstairs, brought down a game console from Asano Nao’s room, and connected it to the TV in the living room to play.

Kazumi and Nao’s eyes were glued to him.

Seeing the game console in his arms, Nao was glad she had hidden all the R18 games under her bed.

Kazumi’s foot, which had been resting on the floor, moved back half a step as she thought about joining Minami Yuuki in the game, but then she remembered she was supposed to accompany Nao. Her slightly lifted bottom sank back onto the sofa.

Nao noticed Kazumi’s reaction but was not surprised.

She had already known about Kazumi’s feelings from the dream. In the dream, they were both close friends and rivals. When she left with Miu, she had even thought about leaving Minami Yuuki to Kazumi.

But feelings were feelings, and threats were threats.

With the memories of the future, Nao believed Kazumi posed no threat.

In the future, she had completely defeated the girl in front of her, who had no resistance at all!

Kazumi?

Hmph, just a defeated opponent!

Nao was brimming with confidence.

What she didn’t know was that someone with similar thoughts was observing her through the window.

It was Ibuki Yuko.

In a nearby alley outside the Asano residence, Yuko put down her binoculars.

Chitose Kazumi and Asano Nao?

Half an hour ago, she had followed Minami Yuuki from school, seen him and Kazumi enter an unfamiliar house, and used binoculars to get a closer look. It turned out to be the house of Asano Nao, Kazumi’s lackey from the dream.

These two were deeply in love with Minami Yuuki. In the dream, even after she married Yuuki, they refused to give up, always lurking nearby, waiting for her to let her guard down so they could pounce on Yuuki.

That Kazumi even managed to whisk away her daughter, Mayuri.

But it wasn’t a big problem.

Although these two were determined, their combat abilities were very low. In the future, they hadn’t caused her any emotional pressure.

Kazumi, Nao?

Hmph, just defeated opponents!
