Love Comes After Simulation

Chapter 89

After school, Minami Yuuki hurried back to the Asano residence, thinking about his paper cranes.

When she handed them over, Asano Nao looked exhausted.

She was a night owl who often only slept a little at night or sometimes stayed up all night until morning, making breakfast and lunch for Yuuki before sleeping.

Yuuki guessed that this sudden paper crane business severely disrupted her sleep.

Taking the box of paper cranes, he felt a pang of guilt. The thought of continuing to trouble Nao like this deepened his guilt.

The idea of giving in to her desire crossed his mind again, but he quickly dismissed it.

Using himself as compensation felt too much like an adult comic plot—better to use Chitose Kazumi as compensation.

Even in Ibuki Yuko’s simulated life, Chitose Kazumi and Asano Nao could become close friends, indicating they were natural besties.

Bringing her a natural bestie while asking for some paper cranes didn’t seem like too much to ask, Yuuki reasoned, easing his conscience.

What he didn’t know was that it wasn’t the two hours spent folding cranes that disrupted Nao’s sleep, but her desire to see his back.

To verify the truth of the dream movie and VR, to know the authenticity of her happy future, and to gain unwavering conviction, Nao needed proof—she needed to see if there was a light gray mole under his shoulder blade, just like in the dream.

Last night and today, she had been pondering ways to peek at Yuuki’s back. For instance, putting sleeping pills in his tea and serving it to him; deliberately spilling soup on him and having him change clothes in a monitored room; bribing his sister to get information…

All these methods required strong execution skills, which, unfortunately, she lacked. This worried her for a long time.

“See you later,” Yuuki said, waving to her with the box in hand. His goal had been achieved.

The moment he took the box, a notification appeared:

[You have received a gift imbued with the feelings of Asano Nao]

[Simulation Attempt +1]

He could go back to simulating now. He hoped Nakajima Yohei would be a suitable candidate and wouldn’t waste his simulation attempts.

Yuuki wasn’t worried about whether Nakajima Yohei and Ibuki Honoka could get married.

Even he had been tempted by the mature Ibuki Honoka, let alone Nakajima Yohei.

As long as Nakajima Sensei wasn’t the type who only dated without getting married, everything would go according to plan.

Back at his apartment, he received his beloved sister’s paper cranes as well.

[You have received a gift imbued with the feelings of Minami Airi]

[Simulation Attempt +0.5]

It even had decimals!

Too lazy to find a container for the cranes, Yuuki threw both boxes into the closet. He lay on his bed and brought up the simulator interface.

[Love Simulator]

[Bound Player: Minami Yuuki]

[Remaining Simulation Attempt: 1.5]

[Available Simulation Targets: Minami Ruri, Minami Airi, Minami Kotori, Asano Nao, Ibuki Yuko]

[Selected: Ibuki Yuko. Start simulation?]

Yes.

[During the simulation, you may experience a state of disorientation. It is advised to move to a safe location]

[Simulation starting]

[Remaining Simulation Attempt: 0.5]

[Simulation Target: Ibuki Yuko]

[Initial Relationship: Acquaintance]

[Detected a large amount of similar text in this simulation. Enable fast view mode?]

Was he about to go through the memory-dense fast view mode again?

Yuuki hesitated a bit.

He got up, drank some water, mentally prepared himself, then lay back down and clicked confirm.

The familiar feeling of pressure appeared, as a flood of memories and sensations poured into his mind.

The brain’s storage capacity is immense. If it were just ordinary memory infusion, it wouldn’t cause discomfort. But these new memories stirred his existing ones, causing a tumultuous sea of memories.

[You pretended to be a world-weary companion to Ibuki Yuko to notice and care for you. The girl, whose heart was dead silent and lacked emotional actions, was successfully awakened by your actions, leading to a closer relationship between you two.]

[You also pretended to be a helpful high school student and assisted a few times with the drunken Ibuki Honoka, becoming acquainted with her.]

[Additionally, you started a career as a content creator and earned a lot of money.]

[During the first year’s winter break, you brought Ibuki Yuko home for the New Year. Knowing Honoka would return home early, you returned to Misaki before her, and your relationship with Ibuki Yuko remained undiscovered.]

[In the second year, after solidifying your relationship with Ibuki Yuko, you began the next phase of your plan.]

[You choose…]

[1. “To solve the daughter’s issue, first solve the mother’s issue.”]

[2. “True strength comes from one’s own power.”]

[3. “I wonder what Nao and Kazumi are doing now?”]

[4. Free simulation]

Yuuki quickly analyzed the choices. The first option meant addressing Ibuki Honoka’s issues to solve Ibuki Yuko’s problems. The second option implied that making Ibuki Yuko strong was the most important task. As for the third option… why were Nao and Kazumi in the same choice?

Resisting the urge to choose the third option out of curiosity, he followed his original plan and chose the first option.

[You decide to correct Ibuki Honoka’s emotional state. The woman has lost her tenderness due to a failed marriage, and you need to repair her broken marriage.]

[You have selected Nakajima Yohei as the person to marry Ibuki Honoka.]

[You directly approached your homeroom teacher, Nakajima Yohei, to introduce him to a prospective partner. As expected, you were chased out by Nakajima Yohei.]

[After being chased out, you went to his mother’s house.]

[Upon hearing about the marriage proposal, Nakajima Yohei’s mother was overjoyed. Learning that her son had driven you away made her furious. She summoned her son, scolded him, and ordered him to agree to your introduction.]

[The next day, under your arrangement, Nakajima Yohei and Honoka Ibuki met at an izakaya.]

[Nakajima Yohei, unhappy with your pushy behavior, came unkempt on purpose. The moment he saw Ibuki Honoka, he regretted it.]

At this point, Yuuki smiled. Nakajima Sensei was interested—it was working!

As expected, the story progressed smoothly from there.

[Ibuki Honoka was also satisfied with Nakajima Yohei’s appearance and didn’t mind his disheveled state.]

[Their relationship developed quickly.]

[A month later, Nakajima Yohei called you to the office after school and gave you a box of high-end sweets.]

[Awkward and shy, he told you that he and Ibuki Honoka had decided to get married.]

[You were shocked by their speed.]

[Declining his gift, you offered your own gift box, asking him to mention Yuko often in front of Honoka. You subtly informed him that Honoka’s relationship with her daughter was not very harmonious.]

[He was impressed by your foresight.]

[As a father himself, he easily agreed to your request, and you both exchanged gifts.]

[You suddenly became curious about what Nakajima Yohei’s daughter looked like.]

[On the day of their wedding, you were invited to attend and met the girl in a wheelchair. To your surprise, Nakajima Yohei’s daughter was a beauty on par with Asano Nao and Ibuki Yuko.]
