Tokyo, there are too many beautiful girls imitating me

"I see. If you can't bring someone here, then we won't force you. It's still more important that you and that classmate maintain a harmonious relationship!"

If you really don't want to force it, please don't look at me with that pitiful look that says, "Please, save the child, I will do anything for you."

Complaining amusingly in her heart, Chika Tachibana nodded and said with her eyes slightly lowered.

"I think I'm pretty confident. After all, I've already mastered a secret weapon to deal with her."

"I have a question, what's the secret weapon?"

Raising her palms high, the curious baby Kanzuki Manrin grabbed Chika Tachibana's hand and showed an expression of "I'm easy to ride", cough, "I'm easy to bully", "I'm a good wife" and a little bit of "I'm curious", staring at Chika Tachibana and asking questions.

"secret."

Because it was a secret that could not be known to Kanzuki Marin, Chika Tachibana playfully tapped her lips with her finger and pushed this good wife away.

That happened last night.

Gentle people may have some common thoughts. As close cousins ​​with the same blood of the Tachibana family, there may be some kind of strange telepathy between Chika Tachibana and Aino Akizuki.

While Chika Tachibana blamed herself for her incompetence and rough treatment of her cousin and kept slapping her cheeks with her hands, her cousin Aino Akizuki seemed to be doing the same thing.

Perhaps the other person was also feeling guilty for making his lovely and gentle cousin feel lonely even though they lived under the same roof and were well taken care of. His heart felt bitter, as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, bringing tears to his eyes. He curled up in the sheets and cried silently.

It is not known whether it was Chika Tachibana or not, but what is certain is that her cousin's feelings towards her must have changed last night.

Love grew out of guilt, love grew out of pity, and under the combined effect of the care over the past few days, the deliberate use of PUA techniques, and the spiritual communication through the guitar and bass, cousin Qiuyue Aino began to like her a little.

It is not a vague feeling, but a result deduced from the solid evidence.

Because Chika Tachibana saw it clearly.

I saw the dazzling light flashing on the simulator panel in front of me.

[Love Simulator (Lesbian Version) is here for you. A new simulatable object has been detected: Chika Tachibana.]

[Current number of simulations: 3]

[Should I simulate Chika Tachibana?]

【whether】

My cousin has also installed a love simulator.

Thinking of this, Chika Tachibana secretly glanced at Senior Matsuo Miki who was adding tea to her cup, and immediately received a gentle smile from her in response.

Because of this, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her face flushed slightly, and she hastily turned her gaze away. Tachibana Chika's heart couldn't help but beat fast, and she muttered to herself -

Oh! Is Senior going to win three times again?

Chapter 37: She's Still More Skilled

"Sukiyaki? It's just so-so. I don't really like it, but if you insist on making it, I'll..."

Still being arrogant, still being arrogant, and still being arrogant!

In the evening, I went home and bought ingredients at the convenience store. After a busy period, Chika Tachibana prepared the Sukiyaki pot and brought it to the table and called Marin Kanzuki over.

Seeing her saying the same thing but actually taking off her coat swiftly, her eyes shining as she prepared to feast on the meal, Chika Tachibana smiled secretly as usual, thinking she was extremely cute like this, and showed a doting smile.

Then, speak true, yet cruel words.

"My cousin likes it. I made her angry and sad yesterday, so I made a pot of this to please her."

According to the guide information given by my aunt, my cousin's favorite food before she hid in the deepest part of the room alone was Sukiyaki, and she especially loved the fried tofu soaked in the soup.

Therefore, to the disappointment of Kanzuki Marin, the Sukiyaki pot tonight is actually made for her cousin Akizuki Aino.

Chika Tachibana wanted to please her.

"Is it because of me? Are you scared by my noble aura? You are such a coward."

Kanzuki Marin had heard a little about Chika Tachibana's cousin's affairs, and after thinking about it, the only unexpected factor that could cause a rift in the relationship between the cousins ​​was her coming to dinner.

Embarrassedly, Kanzuki Manrin expressed her apology, although most people could not hear the apology in her words.

"Indeed, but I will never shut you out because of something like this. My cousin is an important person to me, and so are you, Mana!"

After mixing the sterilized eggs, she handed the bowl to Kanzuki Malin. Chika Tachibana started saying that she deserved to be struck by lightning, and she made Kanzuki Malin so wet that her face almost fell into the bowl. She put on an egg mask and couldn't lift her head for a long time.

Scratching her cheek guiltily, she lowered her voice and spoke about another reason for making this Sukiyaki hot pot.

"The bassist is actually my cousin. Yesterday, when I was practicing guitar, she accompanied me in the house. Her skills are pretty good, so I thought I'd try to bribe her with her favorite food."

Under normal circumstances, three years might pass without my cousin changing at all and she wouldn't even step out of the house.

But now there is a love simulation that can make your cousin "experience three years or even longer" at one time, and the number of simulations can be continuously increased through thoughtful gifts.

Can three, five, and multiple simulations speed up the process of my cousin opening up and giving her the courage to step out of the house?

Holding the cheating props in her hand, Chika Tachibana always had a spark of hope in her heart and gave rise to some delusions.

But all things are difficult at the beginning, and it doesn’t seem easy to get my timid cousin to simulate.

After all, when a system suddenly appears in your head and a simulator screen with text constantly appearing in front of you, even a normal person would be surprised and take a long time to catch their breath before starting the simulation with doubts, curiosity and fear of exploring the unknown.

At least that's what Kanzuki Shinrin did at the time. The simulator was turned off immediately after it appeared for a moment, and then it took another ten minutes before the simulation actually started. After the first simulation, she didn't dare to conduct a second simulation that whole night.

Although Chika Tachibana felt that there was a possibility that Kanzuki Marin was so angry at her own incompetence that she just fell asleep, she always did the next simulation the next night.

As for my cousin Akizuki Aino, she is much more timid and sensitive than ordinary people. She must have been frightened by the sudden appearance of the system and was worried and absent-minded all day long. In any case, she has not yet carried out the first simulation. She only opened and closed the interface several times, but closed it after staying for a while.

Afraid that her cousin, who was in this gloomy state, would have physical and mental problems, in order to comfort her and to encourage her to complete the first simulation as soon as possible, Chika Tachibana suddenly wanted to make Sukiyaki in this special way, to establish a connection with her, to understand her, to trust her, and ultimately to love her... and finally to be willing to step out of the house for her.

"Cousin? She's a stay-at-home and plays bass. She's not going to disappear, is she?"

"Uh."

The usually clumsy Kanzuki Marin suddenly made a rather sharp complaint, and Chika Tachibana, who felt that the complaint unexpectedly made sense, was choked and speechless for a while.

However, even so, Mizuki Manrin is still outputting!

"No, maybe it should be the other way around? It's because she's a bassist that she disappears, and that's why she stays at home. Yeah, my cousin really fits my stereotype of a bassist."

"Although we're really short of people, do we really want to force our cousin, who's too scared to even leave the house, to go to school, join the light music club, and even perform on stage? That's too vicious!"

"Will my cousin wear a box with the words 'Perfectly Ripe Mango' on her head and perform with just her limbs extended, or will she just bring a monitor up on stage and make her Vtuber debut!"

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, Qianhua, why did you suddenly hit my head?!"

A bunch of strange but inexplicably practical ideas were being expressed freely, and Kanzuki Marin was hit hard by Tachibana Chika's iron fist.

Holding her child in her arms and looking up timidly with tearful eyes, Guanyue Zhenling protested aggrievedly.

"I just know you're always outspoken, Zhenling. If anyone else dares to make up stories about my cousin like that, I'll definitely fight them."

The tear-stained note that said "I'm sorry" finally touched Chika Tachibana's heart. Not only did she feel a sense of responsibility towards her, but she also felt a lot more pity for her. When she heard someone else making up stories about Akizuki Aino like this, even if that person was Kanzuki Marin, Chika Tachibana couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that..."

"I know, that's why I just tapped you lightly. You eat first. I'll send a bowl to my cousin while the ingredients are still good."

The purpose today is to please my cousin, so naturally I have to serve hot dishes to her!

After that, various ingredients, especially meat and fried tofu, were filled in. Chika Tachibana also wrote a note and stuck it on the plate.

[I am really sorry for saying inappropriate things yesterday. Those were just words said in anger and I didn't really mean it. I don't feel lonely at all. I hope my cousin doesn't take it to heart.

I'm sorry I can't shake hands with you, cousin, so I made Sukiyaki to apologize. Enjoy your meal o(*￣▽￣*)ブ】

Tsundere can be very civilized sometimes. I wasn't saying that out of anger, I was expressing my true feelings. I really felt lonely, and it wasn't nice to express it directly, but saying it the other way around was both appropriate and fitting, and it just created a new offensive that went straight into my cousin's heart.

She was grateful to the tsundere young lady, Kanzuki Marin, who had given her this idea. After knocking on the door, Chika Tachibana returned to the living room. While chatting and laughing with Kanzuki Marin, she was paying attention to any "strangeness" that appeared in her sight.

But unfortunately, until the end, when Mizuki Marin left and Chika Tachibana washed the dishes, the simulator page did not appear in the field of vision.

Her cousin was even more timid than she had imagined. Just the tsundere words and the apologetic Sukiyaki seemed unable to give her the courage to carry out her first simulation.

"It seems that cooking for my cousin can't be bland. I have to add a lot of ingredients!"

She puffed up her lips and snorted in annoyance, wiped her hands, and went straight into the house to pick up her guitar.

Although she is a straight woman, she has plenty of ways to deceive and seduce girls!

Aino Akizuki? Not willing to go out?

Make sure she has a constant flow of movement, in and out!

Not satisfied with sitting in the living room, she sat in front of her cousin's door and played the guitar for a whole hour.

"My hands are really sore after practicing so much, and my advisor asked me to rest during this period. I'll stop here tonight. Thank you, Sister Aino, for playing with me for so long. I'm going back to my room to sleep."

After saying that, she raised her eyebrows, with a determined look in her eyes. She said that she wanted to go back to the house to sleep, but Chikako Tachibana didn't move at all. She just sat quietly in front of her cousin's house without making a sound, waiting for time to pass.

It's not like she wants to sit back and wait for her cousin to go out so that she can catch her and start a verbal attack or something like that. Aino Akizuki is very vigilant and will never step out of the room late at night unless she is sure that Chika Tachibana is asleep.

Especially at this moment, not only did she not make any sound of leaving, but her soft buttocks sitting on the ground even partially blocked the gap between the door and the floor. Cousin Akizuki Aino must have known that she had not left yet.

And what Chika Tachibana wants is exactly this "knowledge".

Silence has power. Saying that you want to leave but sitting in front of the door in silence for a long time will definitely make your sensitive cousin think too much, and then develop more feelings that are close to her and beneficial to her.

Thinking that her emotions had accumulated enough, Chika Tachibana stroked the door with her hand, making a slight rustling sound.

She prepared to cry a little, and leaned against the door, speaking in a hoarse voice.

"Cousin, I really want to see you."

"..."

Naturally, there was no response.

As expected, Chika Tachibana received a response.

[Aino Akizuki is simulating you, do you want to watch?]

【whether】

Noticing the change in her vision, the corners of her lips twitched, and a smirk of success appeared on Chika Tachibana's pretty face.

Hey, she’s still the better one!

Chapter 38: The Non-Existent Future

Yes or no?

You must choose yes!

The moment the option was pressed, the text on the simulator panel changed, and it was exactly the simulation content that my cousin Aino Akizuki was currently seeing.

【Simulation starts】

[Simulation object: Chika Tachibana]

[Initial relationship: Cousins ​​who hadn’t seen each other for two years]

[Number of simulations remaining: 2]

[When you heard your cousin Chika Tachibana suppress her tears and say that she wanted to see you again, your heart, which should have been as dead as the sea, was stirred and you couldn't calm down for a long time.

Filled with guilt, self-blame, uneasiness, and the entanglement and fear of whether to break up your current life and walk out of the room, you toss and turn in bed until the second half of the night when you finally fall asleep.

In the early morning, you were startled awake when you heard your door knocked by your cousin Chika Tachibana, who was routinely feeding you, a shut-in loser and gloomy loser.

Check the calendar. Today is Wednesday, April 9th, and the time is 7:25 AM.

"A brief overview of the situation, a psychological analysis, the occasional sharp tongue, and the usual revelation of the simulation start time. Are you all using the same system?"

Are the simulator systems installed on two different girls, Mizuki Manrin and Akizuki Aino, the same?

She had some doubts in her mind, but after reading the opening chapter and tasting the familiar flavor from the simulator text, Chika Tachibana was able to roughly determine that the simulators bound to the two people should be the same model, with no major difference.

Then, the various features of simulator operation summarized from the Love Simulator of Mizuki Marin should also be continued -

Each option corresponds to a direction of events. All events are ultimately oriented towards love. After the simulation is completed, scores will be given and rewards for passing the level will be distributed.

After confirming these, she felt relieved and continued to read the text that appeared next, trying to use this love simulation as a window to make a deep portrayal of her cousin Aino Akizuki's personality, and find a breakthrough to guide her out of the house.

Or maybe, the "she" in the simulator could be a little more powerful, and make the weak cousin completely bewitched, unable to restrain her feelings and wanting to throw herself into his arms, and immediately walk out of the room when the simulation ends!

Although it was not very realistic, Chika Tachibana still had such a dream.

[After listening to the footsteps gradually fading away and repeatedly confirming through the crack of the door that she is not lying in wait, you quietly open the door and take breakfast into the house.

Lifting the dish, you searched hard for the note in the plate, but found nothing.
