Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The warmth of the bed couldn’t warm Minami Yuuki’s heart. He lifted the blanket, and the cool air of the spring morning chased away the warmth from his body.

He took a large bottle of oolong tea from the fridge, and as the dark tea entered his stomach, his spirits lifted, and his mood calmed a bit.

He thought, things probably weren’t as bad as he imagined. Maybe he was just worrying needlessly.

In the first simulation, nothing unexpected happened. It showed that Asano Nao was merely a voyeur, not someone who would stalk, threaten, or kidnap.

Placing the teacup on the bedside table, Minami Yuuki lay back in bed to continue the simulation.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

[You are 99% sure that the Asano house in front of you is where Asano Nao is hiding. She watches you through the window every day and has fallen in love with you.]

[Standing in front of the Asano house, you choose to...]

[1. Ring the doorbell and meet her; 2. Turn around and leave, seeking another opportunity to meet; 3. Call the police and have her arrested; 4. Free simulation]

What should he choose?

Option three was immediately ruled out. If he had more simulation attempts, he might choose it for fun. But with limited tries, it wasn’t practical.

Option one was risky. Approaching directly without knowing Asano Nao’s personality could lead to many unpredictable changes. It would be bad if she got scared and ran away or overreacted.

Rather than taking risks to approach someone, Minami Yuuki preferred to disguise himself as prey, waiting for the other party to come to him.

The highest form of hunter often appears as prey.

I choose option two!

Temporarily retreat and look for another opportunity to contact Asano Nao!

[After thinking for a moment, you turn around and leave.]

[For the next week, you lie low and live your normal life. Once you confirm that Asano Nao is behaving normally, you begin your actions.]

[First, you investigate Asano Nao. Using your handsome appearance, you strike up a friendship with Mrs. Tanaka, who loves gossip in the residential area, to inquire about the Asano family.]

Minami Yuuki felt his brain becoming more active. The scene of talking with Mrs. Tanaka floated up from the waters of memory, creating ripples.

He closed his eyes to watch this memory.

The children playing in the sandpit ran home as night fell. Tanaka Mako took Minami Yuuki to a bench in the park and sat down.

After finishing her coffee, she placed the empty can on the bench and continued, “Her parents’ compensation must be a huge amount. Her father was a small section chief at a big company! I don’t know the exact amount. The house she lives in could be sold for tens of millions of yen.”

Tens of millions of yen, roughly a few million yuan.

With the compensation, Asano Nao must be quite wealthy.

“Yuuki, your home is in the countryside, right? Even if you graduate and enter a big company, buying a house in Misaki will take many years of hard work!”

Tanaka Mako turned to look at Minami Yuuki. Her arm, originally resting on the back of the bench, slowly moved up to encircle the boy’s shoulders. The touch of his firm muscles made her heart pound.

She leaned closer to Minami Yuuki and said, “Misaki is very prosperous, right? There must be many things you want to buy? Sister can give them to you.”

[Through Mrs. Tanaka, you learned about Asano Nao: in her early twenties, a shut-in, orphaned, with a grandmother in the countryside, and seems to have a lot of money.]

[Your feigned closeness these days made Mrs. Tanaka develop extra thoughts. She hinted that she could give you expensive items.]

[Facing her temptation, you choose...]

[1. Gladly accept; 2. Politely decline; 3. Scold her and call the police; 4. Free simulation]

“...”

Minami Yuuki held his forehead and sighed.

I just wanted to find out about Asano Nao. How did I end up in this situation?

What would happen if I chose option one?

In the memory scene, Mrs. Tanaka’s legs looked pretty nice, though her face was just average.

He reached out and clicked option two.

[You pretended to be frightened, excuse yourself saying you haven’t finished your homework, and flee the park. Mrs. Tanaka feels remorseful, thinking she was too hasty.]
