Chapter 19

Chapter 19

[You return home and rummage through your things, but you can’t find anything suitable to give. You didn’t bring much when you came from Ino County, and that childhood handkerchief was accidentally brought along.]

[In the end, you give Asano Nao a spare key to your apartment. Asano Nao takes the key and starts to giggle, like a pervert on a late-night show. Unfortunately, this pervert only has the intent but not the courage.]

[You slow down Asano Nao’s treatment plan. Since meeting in person is too stimulating for her, starting with online meetings might be better.]

[The final exam results are out. You ranked in the top ten in your class. You video call your parents to show them your report card. They are very happy and ask you many questions about your life in Misaki.]

[Finally, they ask when you will return to Ino County.]

[Faced with their question, you choose]

[1. “I want to get into a prestigious university, so I’ll stay in Misaki for summer classes.”]

[2. “I want to get a girl pregnant, so I’ll stay in Misaki and work hard.”]

[3. “I’ll be back in a couple of days.”]

[4. Free simulation]

What the hell is option two!

Wait, this option seems to make sense?

Upon careful consideration, what seems like the most unreliable option, number two, might actually be the most truthful one.

But, people are artists of deceit, and truth has no place in this art.

Option two is ruled out first.

What’s left are options one and three, one is staying in Misaki, the other is returning to Ino County.

From the perspective of personal desire, there seems to be no need to hesitate, just choose option one.

But feelings often aren’t controlled by desires.

In previous simulations, he was taken back to Ino County and separated from Asano Nao for a month. This month apart didn’t hinder their relationship; on the contrary, the longing and joy of reunion made their relationship make breakthrough progress.

Hmm, both physically and emotionally, it was a breakthrough.

Looking at it this way, perhaps leaving is the right choice.

What should he choose?

Minami Yuuki folded his arms and fell into deep thought.

But the protagonist, who flirts everywhere in the game, brings new worries.

She stares at the game screen. The witcher on horseback already has two lovers but ends up sleeping with a newly met sorceress.

Is Yuuki-kun really studying now? The mountains must be quiet, and there are many girls studying music, many of them pretty. Is he already doing something bad with a classmate in the dark woods?

The imagination solidifies into a powerful arm, squeezing her heart, making her anxious.

She turns off the RPG game and drives away her fantasies, starting a new casual game. This game doesn’t even have humans, so it surely won’t fuel her imagination.

She underestimates her own creativity.

As she controls the robot in the game to cut trees for wood, she sees the green leaves and her suppressed fantasies revive.

In a distant country, green seems to symbolize infidelity.

Is this game hinting at something?

She resists the fantasies with her willpower. At first, her armored willpower drives the fantasies to the corners of her mind, surrounding them.

But no matter how strict her orders, or how hard her willpower tries to clear them out, the fantasies never die. Eventually, her willpower grows weary, and the fantasies escape.

The fantasies grow wildly, even persuading her willpower. It’s not enough that Minami Yuuki falls for another woman; the fantasies continue to add scenes.

Minami Yuuki promises another woman a future, flirts with many women but never her, grows distant after returning from cram school, kisses other women, gives other women gifts, marries another woman...

It’s so painful.

She slowly slides off the chair, sits on the floor, and then moves to the corner between the bed and the wall, hugging herself tightly.

The wind from the window is cold, piercing her bones.

Why do I have to endure this pain? We got closer, and those days of peeping were so happy.

Why is it that there’s only joy when we’re apart, but pain when we’re close?

Sure enough, it’s me who has the problem. She buries her face in her arms.

At this moment, her phone rings.

It’s a call from Minami Yuuki.
