Chapter 60

Chapter 60

[Ibuki Honoka works at a stationery company. She doesn’t have much work but has a lot of social obligations. Using summer tutoring as an excuse, you got her house key from her. She vaguely sensed that your real target was Ibuki Yuko.]

[You found Ibuki Yuko and revealed your plan to her.]

[You told her you were going to monitor her and asked her to cooperate.]

[She refused.]

[However, her attitude of letting everything happen, without showing emotion or resisting, made it impossible for her to effectively reject you.]

[Every morning, you go to the Ibuki house, making her study and learn. She teaches you as usual and talks to you.]

[At night, after Ibuki Yuko falls asleep, you return to your apartment.]

[Occasionally, when Ibuki Yuko wants to go out, you stop her. If she wants to buy something, you make her write a list, and you go out to buy it at night.]

[She never argues with you. As long as you are firm, she complies with your demands.]

[Of course, this compliance only lasts under your watchful eye. She submits to your authority, but if you’re not around, this authority has no binding power.]

[The summer vacation passed peacefully.]

[During these forty days, you tried to deepen your emotional connection with Ibuki Yuko and get closer to her, but you failed. You couldn’t reach her heart; you lacked a key, a chance.]

Seeing this, Minami Yuuki knew this romance simulation had failed.

It wasn’t surprising, but the actions of his character in the simulation exceeded Minami Yuuki’s expectations.

He thought that option meant actual physical imprisonment. He didn’t expect it to be this flexible use of Ibuki Yuko’s personality to create a pseudo-imprisonment.

Putting himself in the simulated situation, yes, if he decided to confine a girl, he would choose this way, minimizing legal risks.

Through this, Minami Yuuki resolved one of his doubts. The choices in the simulation actually determine the way he solves problems. For the simulated version of himself, these options are the plans he considered at the time.

He continued to look at the simulation interface.

[The second semester began. Every morning, you go to the Ibuki house, wait for her, and walk to school together. In the afternoon after school, you go to her class and walk back to the apartment together.]

[To stay close to Ibuki Yuko, you haven’t visited the Asano house for a long time, and your relationship with Asano Nao has become distant.]

[You developed a classmate of Ibuki Yuko’s as an informant to help you keep an eye on her.]

At the same time, he also understood that unless someone was inherently lacking, no one would be such a blank slate. Ibuki Yuko had just covered the picture in her heart with a white sticker.

At first, Minami Yuuki thought he could peel off the sticker, but he realized he couldn’t.

If the sticker on the picture couldn’t be removed, then the picture might as well not exist.

He continued to watch the simulation interface. Since his simulated self had already grown to dislike her, what would happen next in the story?

Would he continue to interact with Ibuki Yuko, or... it couldn’t be what he thought, right?

[In the classroom, Chitose Kazumi noticed your unease. At noon, she sat next to you with her bento, wanting to show concern. Her hesitant words and evasive eyes, along with her awkward demeanor, lifted your spirits.]

[You told her about the issues with IbukiYuko and apologized to Chitose Kazumi. You had previously mentioned that you weren’t planning on dating anytime soon, and now you had broken that promise.]

[Chitose Kazumi accepted your apology. She wasn’t angry, just a bit disappointed. She comforted you and encouraged you to reconcile with Ibuki Yuko.]

[She didn’t know that you were already contemplating giving up.]

Lying on his bed, Minami Yuuki covered his face.

Of course, it’s Chitose Kazumi again!

Is this simulation going to follow the Chitose Kazumi route again?

[You decided to continue a bit longer, not out of stubbornness, but to gather some information.]

[You continued to go to and from school with Ibuki Yuko, inseparable. Your classmates thought you were dating.]

[In October, Ichinose Shiori approached you.]

Why did this character suddenly appear?

Wait, Ichinose Shiori? Could it be the one who sits in front of him, rumored to be 79/56/82, the secret crush of his predecessor, the Ichinose Shiori he failed to contact in the previous simulation?

Why did she suddenly make an appearance?
