Chapter 203. Stay with Me After School

No reply.

Just a soft "Eh?"—and that alone was enough to show how shaken Rio Futaba's heart was at this moment.

She truly hadn't expected it.

The pressure she'd been keeping buried deep inside... had suddenly been brought to light by Minami Shouji in such a direct way.

S...

Chapter 202. Stat Points, Allocate!

Yamada Ryo's chest.

How to put it...

Just as she had said.

While it couldn't compare to Rio Futaba's or Gotoh Hitori's, the shape was undeniably quite nice.

The key was that when Yamada Ryo pressed his hand against it, she did it with particular force. It felt... ahem... 2025-03-16 14:02:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 201: Wanna Touch Mine? 

"?" Minami Shouji.

The consequences of the option before him caught Minami Shouji somewhat off guard.

In his mind, the reason he ended up with a mediocre ending was because he hadn't chosen the more proactive first option here.

But now it seemed, the first option wasn't the righ...

Chapter 200: No Matter the Choice, Regret is Inevitable 

[She relies on you immensely, and you are well aware of it.]

[Letting her depend on you isn't necessarily a bad thing.]

[You have already decided that, on this long journey of life, you will stay by her side.]

[News of you having a girlfriend soon spread across the university th...

Chapter 199: The Izakaya, the Senpai, and Her

"..."

Minami stared at the screen.

His eyes locked onto one particular line—

[Everything seemed to be heading in a good direction.]

Seemed.

He wasn't surprised.

Not even a little.

After all, he knew—

Futaba Rio's deep-rooted insecurities had not...

Chapter 198: You Both Slept in Late

"Not bad at all."

Watching the simulation unfold, Minami felt a surge of satisfaction.

It seemed like he had made all the right choices.

Their relationship had naturally progressed into romance.

And with Futaba Rio's personality, there was no chance she would ever suggest ...

Chapter 197: You Have to Take Responsibility for Me!

Outside the simulation, in real life.

"I really didn't expect it to be like this."

Feeling the dramatic turn of events in the simulated life,

Minami sighed.

At first, he thought he had already figured out the root cause of Futaba Rio's complicated personality.

But he...

Chapter 196: The Regretful Neighboring Wife

"?" Minami.

Staring at the four choices that suddenly popped up on the screen,

Minami's mood could be summed up with just one character—"?".

What the hell does 'target the lonely housewives' mean?

Or 'target the arrogant girls in Futaba's class'?

Minami could kind ...

Chapter 195: Target the Lonely Wives!

"Forget it."

Minami thought for a long time about whether he could use "Shouji Akane's Perfect, Enchanting Smile" to farm affection points.

But in the end, he shook his head.

Using it once in a while shouldn't be a big deal.

But he had seen the effects of his 10/10 appeara...

Chapter 194: I Took Precautions, Minami 

Minami's appearance stat was at 9 points, but the moment he smiled, it reached 10 points—the absolute limit of human attractiveness.

At that level, a single smile was enough to create the kind of instant love at first sight that only existed in novels and TV dramas.

And right now—...

Chapter 193: Minami Shouji Smiles

"Any woman caught in Minami's sights is doomed! Not a single one can escape!"

Futaba Rio stared at Yamada Ryo, who had just uttered such absurd words.

As a girl of science, Futaba Rio maintained her usual calm expression.

But the slight twitch at the corner of her mouth and her ...

Chapter 192: The Woman He Sets His Eyes On, None Can Escape

"Guess I'll go with option three after all."

After careful consideration, Minami Shouji ultimately decided on the third option.

Though it was the safest choice, the simulation had only just begun.

Observing the situation first and figuring out why the other party was in an unsta...

Chapter 191: The Cuckold Warrior—Your Fate is Sealed!

Admiration?

Or was it something deeper—like, love?

Sitting alone in the science prep room, Futaba Rio stood up.

Then sat back down.

The white lab coat she was wearing crumpled slightly.

Her thin eyebrows furrowed together tightly.

She tried to think it throug...

Chapter 190: "Like" or "Admiration" 

Azusagawa Sakuta and Kunimi Yuuma really did exist in this world.

Minami Shouji's suspicions were confirmed.

But—

That has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Minami thought to himself.

To avoid unnecessary complications, he had already removed Futaba Rio from his si...

Chapter 189: How to Become More Popular

Since Futaba Rio had been temporarily removed from the simulation list,

Minami Shouji could no longer see her affection level or current status.

Which meant he had no clue why she was looking for him.

As far as he was concerned, she was the stereotypical science girl—

An...

Chapter 188: What Exactly Does Futaba Rio Want?

Living together with everyone…?

Five people… doing this and that together…?

Just the mere thought of it made Gotoh Hitori's pale face flush bright red beneath her oversized, well-worn button-up shirt that she used as pajamas.

This kind of thing�...

Chapter 187: Five People Doing This and That Together 

"97 points, huh?"

Looking at the terrifying score in front of him, Shouji Minami stroked his chin.

It wasn't that the score was too high.

Rather, he felt…

"This seems a bit low, doesn't it?"

Minami muttered to himself.

He was confident—very confident.

Chapter 186: Love Falls Like a Sudden Storm, Yet Never Ceases 

(TL Note: Let's listen to [gentle love ˚ ⋆ 𐙚 ｡𖦹 .ᡣ𐭩 ˚ || soft playlist].)

"It's about my sister's future—her happiness."

The moment Ijichi Seika said those words, the lively atmosphere around the table shifted.

Hiroi Kikuri, who had been making a ruckus just m...

Chapter 185: The Hidden Happy Ending in the Direct Simulation

After everything had settled, Shouji Minami gently stroked Shouji Hitori's soft hair, his eyes tracing the smooth, fair skin of her back, as flawless as a snow-covered mountain.

He was satisfied.

Truly satisfied.

With a wife so gentle and kind—

With a daughter so incredi...

Chapter 184: Stay Up Late Tonight, Hitori

Seriously—

Did this woman even know what she was saying?

Ijichi Nijika shot Yamada Ryo a glare.

But in the end, it was just a glare.

Even at thirty-one, Nijika still found herself powerless against her longtime best friend.

Ryo, however, was completely unfazed by N...

Chapter 183: Gotoh Hitori, the Incomplete Harem Ending 

"So… what should I do next?"

Minami Shouji stared at the remaining Heartthrob Points, deep in thought.

1,510 Heartthrob Points.

That was undoubtedly a massive amount.

Even if he used 1,200 points for a Direct Simulation, he'd still have 310 points left, enough for anothe...

Chapter 182: Second Chance to Simulate in Person 

"I'm relieved because you've grown."

Minami Shouji, confirming that Hitori Gotoh was fine, stood up and poured her a glass of water.

"At that moment, on that stage, openly confessing to someone—was that something you could have even imagined doing before?"

It was true.

E...

Chapter 181: "I'll Take Responsibility!" 

Thunderous applause.

Just like Hitori Gotoh's Please Tell Me, Ryo Yamada's Only My Sound had won over the entire crowd.

Amidst the continuous clapping, excited discussions about Kessoku Band began to spread.

A lone wolf bassist with a cold, untouchable aur...

Chapter 180: A Song Completely Different from the Simulation! 

A sea of people.

Standing on the stage inside the gymnasium, looking out—there was a dense, endless crowd.

A wave of heat.

Even though autumn had already set in, the sheer volume of voices crashing together felt like a heatwave surging through the venue.

This was a r...
