Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

Then came the tiring moving process.

Although there is an elevator, it's quite a distance to move things from the room to the elevator and then from the elevator to the car, and Ms. Hayano has a lot of luggage, so the workload is indeed quite heavy.

It took about half an hour to move everything.

After moving everything, Ms. Hayano was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Although she moved less than a third of what An Zeliang had.

In terms of physical stamina, Mr. Hayano is still not very good.

Afterwards, the truck, carrying Anze Ryo, Hayano Hoshiko, and their luggage, drove for about twenty minutes before arriving at a rather old-looking apartment building.

"Anze, it's on the fourth floor. Just follow me." Hayano Hoshiko wiped her sweat, picked up a cardboard box, and led the way.

Fortunately, this old apartment building also has an elevator.

Otherwise, with so much stuff, there would really be a lot to move.

An Zeliang wasn't particularly tired, after all, his strength and physique were extraordinary, so the workload wasn't too heavy for him.

but,

After moving only half of the items, Ms. Hayano was completely exhausted and collapsed onto the sofa, her whole body covered in sweat. Her thin clothes had become somewhat transparent due to the perspiration.

"I can't take it anymore, I need to rest for a while, I'm too tired..." Hayano Hoshiko breathed slightly, one hand pulling at the clothes that were almost stuck to her body.

I was sweating and exhausted, I really couldn't go on.

"Then let's rest for a while."

An Zeliang put the cardboard box down, turned his head slightly, and his pupils contracted when he saw Hayano Hoshiko.

From this vantage point, you can see basically everything...

No mask!

"Anze, let's take a break and eat first. We can move the rest of the stuff after we eat." Hayano Hoshiko said wearily, her eyes closed, as she continued to pull her clothes to cool off, completely unaware that something was wrong.

“Either is fine…” An Zeliang silently withdrew his gaze, silently reciting the Golden Light Mantra in his heart.

No… it should be a calming mantra!

"Anze, what kind of bento would you like to eat?" Hayano Hoshiko opened her eyes slightly and looked at Anze Ryo, who was sitting next to her and muttering some incantation that she couldn't understand.

She looked slightly puzzled.

"Anything works!"

"Then let's have a bento box."

Aside from convenience store bento boxes, there were no other options.

Because of the move, Hayano Hoshiko didn't have time to cook for herself, and going to a restaurant was too far away, so eating fast food bento boxes was the most convenient option.

An Zeliang didn't mind.

It took about twenty minutes to finish the bento box.

Anze Liang took a dump, and when he came out of the bathroom, he saw that Hayano-sensei had already opened his laptop and was playing a game.

This game is really addictive.

An Zeliang walked over and saw the game interface; it was a low-quality online game.

The art style is simple, with a green meadow, a few thatched huts, and several NPC characters who look like farmers making cries for help.

After Hoshiko Hayano heals the NPCs' injuries, they will express their gratitude.

Then Hayano Hoshiko showed a satisfied expression and began to save more NPCs.

As more and more skills were used, the mana bar quickly ran out, and the surrounding villagers were dragged along, one by one being knocked down and injured by the monsters, crying out for help.

An Zeliang immediately recognized that this was a classic trick used by online games to trick players into spending money.

however.

Amidst these cries for help, Ms. Hayano completely succumbed to temptation.

"Recharge your account! Recharge your account! I'll come to save you right away!"

then.

She skillfully opened the recharge page and started depositing money into it to receive various items.

After making several strokes, Hayano Hoshiko finally noticed Yasuzawa Ryo behind her.

"Anze, are you done? Wait a minute, I'll be done soon too." Hayano Hoshiko said, then recharged her account twice more, and then, controlling her angel character, successfully used her money power to kill the evil dragon and save the village...

This scene left Yoshinao Yasuzawa speechless.

I never imagined that Hayano-sensei was such a game addict...

After the battle was over, Hoshiko Hayano stood up with a satisfied expression and said, "Let's go move the rest of the stuff now!"

An Zeliang nodded silently, and the two walked down the hallway. An Zeliang couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Speaking of which, why did you move, Hayano-sensei? The old house seemed fine to me."

“There are many reasons... for example, the houses here are closer to the school, and the rent is much cheaper. Of course, the main reason is that I can no longer afford the rent for my previous house.”

"Really? Mr. Hayano, your family is quite well-off, and your salary is high, so how come you can't afford the rent?"

An Zeliang was a little surprised; he didn't seem short of money when he was topping up his account earlier.

Moreover, English teachers generally come from well-off families.

Anyway, Ms. Hayano comes from a well-off family. You can tell from her different outfits every day and the expensive jewelry she wears that her family is well-off.

Moreover, An Zeliang had also tested the waters in the simulation.

Upon hearing this, Hayano Hoshiko thought for a moment and then seriously counted on her fingers for Anze Ryo: "My monthly salary is a little over 370,000 yen, and my family also gives me more than three times my salary for living expenses... If you add it all up, it's about 1.5 million yen."

“One and a half million, that should be quite a lot, right?” An Zeliang was somewhat surprised. This amount would be considerable in any country, so how could they have fallen to the point of not being able to pay rent?

"However, I have to recharge 400,000 in the [Otherworld] every month, which is the game you just saw, otherwise I won't have enough mana to save people."

"In the game Underground Hero, you also need to spend 400,000 yuan to clear dungeons."

"Then, recently I played a two-dimensional game called 'Shishin' from an Eastern country and invested too much in it, so I don't have enough money to spend."

Hayano Hoshiko, having figured this out, suddenly started enthusiastically recommending it to Anze Ryo: "Anze-kun, this game, Shishin, is really fun! Especially raising your wife and leveling her up, it's so incredibly fun! You can download it too, and we can raid the dungeons together!"

An Zeliang's eyes twitched slightly, then he replied perfunctorily, "Um... I'll download it when I get back and have time."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the truck and began taking things out.

An Zeliang saw a large cardboard box on top and picked it up. It wasn't heavy, but it seemed to contain quite a lot of things.

It's possible the cardboard box wasn't packed properly; it suddenly leaked at the bottom when An Zeliang picked it up.

Then, a bunch of toys of various colors fell out from below and rolled onto the ground... and a ball with a chain slowly rolled to Mr. Hayano's feet.

"What's this?" An Zeliang was taken aback when he saw the things scattered on the ground.

Hayano Hoshiko, who was carrying a cardboard box and preparing to leave, turned around in confusion after hearing the sound. When she saw what was on the ground, her pupils contracted sharply, her body froze on the spot, and her cheeks flushed uncontrollably...

An Zeliang stood awkwardly in place, holding an empty cardboard box with its bottom showing. He hadn't expected it to contain toys, and so many of them at that.

The two stared at each other, speechless with awkwardness.

"Um, Hayano-sensei, I didn't see anything."

After a brief stalemate, An Zeliang broke the awkward silence by speaking first.

But his words only made the atmosphere more awkward!

Hayano Hoshiko didn't know how to respond.

An Zeliang chose to keep quiet, then bent down and began to pick up the toys on the ground one by one, putting them into the resealed cardboard box.

As he packed, he thought to himself, "What a wide variety!"

To his surprise, just as he was halfway through packing, the cardboard box leaked again, and the toys fell out one by one once more.

The ball rolled to Hayano Hoshiko's feet again, stopping only after hitting her shoe.

Hayano Xingzi: "......"

Oh no, I really need to find another planet to survive now!

An Zeliang's eyes twitched slightly; he really didn't know how to defuse this awkward atmosphere.

He quietly changed to a new cardboard box and packed everything into it.

Then the two of them remained silent throughout the entire process and finished moving the items.

Even when saying goodbye, Ms. Hayano blushed as she finished speaking and then immediately closed the door, just like a shy little girl.

Also.

When faced with such an embarrassing situation, even a cow has to turn into a milk cow...

We had agreed to play King of Fighters together, but it looks like that's not going to happen now.

Even the relationship between teachers and students has become delicate.

"Mr. Hayano is really something else."

An Zeliang shook his head slightly, glanced at the time, and prepared to go to the coffee shop for his appointment.

……

When Anze Liang arrived at the coffee shop, it was 8:10.

He sat there for about half an hour before Junichi Watanabe came over.

However, the appointment was originally scheduled for 8:30, but Yasuzawa Ryo arrived early, so it's not Watanabe Junichi's fault for being late.

The two exchanged normal greetings upon meeting, and then An Zeliang got down to business.

“Mr. Watanabe, I would like to ask you some questions about Tamamo’s parents… the murderous couple. I have a friend who is a police officer, and I’d like to see if I can help Tamamo,” Yasuzawa Ryo said.

"Xiaoxing is so lucky to have a friend like you."

Grandpa Watanabe sighed with satisfaction, then generously replied, "I can tell you everything I know; I hope it can help Sachi."

"Thank you, Mr. Watanabe."

"I've been tracking this serial killer for over thirty years, starting when I was young, right after he committed his first crime."
