Tokyo, there are too many beautiful girls imitating me

After experiencing a simulation of being with her for a lifetime but with both of them full of regrets, my cousin should choose to bravely step out of the house and contact the outside world this time, join the light music club, and see what the future will be like.

But can it really be done? Is the courage and strength given to my cousin in the last simulation really enough to support her to tear apart the nightmare in her heart, break free from the prison of her own self and leave home?

Or, just like in the last simulation, did he choose the positive option of leaving the house, clearly having the thought but still being overwhelmed by fear, leading to the same outcome?

"Come on, cousin!"

When they walk out of the house and greet their cousins, they will surely be greeted by a beautiful and brilliant life.

With such conviction, Chika Tachibana waved her fist slightly in front of her chest and whispered encouragement to Akizuki Aino in the other room.

【Simulation starts】

[Simulation object: Chika Tachibana]

[Initial relationship: Close cousins]

[Number of simulations remaining: 0]

"This is already displayed in real time, but it shouldn't be exposed, right?"

With an exceptional memory, Chika Tachibana still had a strong impression of the simulation content from a while ago, and she immediately noticed the difference in the content given in the two simulations.

The initial relationship between them changed from "cousins ​​with a good relationship" to "cousins ​​with a close relationship".

This is probably because after the last simulation, both of them like each other more than before. It is a point that may feel unusual, but Akizuki Aino should regard this as a change caused by her liking her more, so the fact that she can watch the simulation should not be exposed.

should.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and the third simulation officially began.

[After experiencing two simulations, you have been able to completely confirm Chika Tachibana's feelings, and are deeply obsessed with the beauty and affection shown by Chika Tachibana in the simulation.

Your heart is beating wildly and you know that you have been completely captured by Chika Tachibana.

However, it is too unfair, too painful, and too regrettable for Chika Tachibana to always have to pay.

She is so outstanding and beautiful, her life should not be disrupted and torn apart by a useless, dark and heavy woman like you.

Dark and damp people should continue to stay dark in the room, and bright and shining people should stand on the stage where everyone is paying attention and shine freely.

Chika Tachibana shouldn't be ordinary, and you can't accept her ordinariness.

Last time, you bound Chika Tachibana with invisible chains and prisons, preventing her from spreading her wings and flying high for the rest of her life. This time, you are determined to give her the freedom she deserves.

It is Friday, April 21st. You open your eyes and the alarm clock on your desk reads 7:10.

At 7:30, Chika Tachibana, who had prepared breakfast, knocked on your door and tried to talk to you, trying to persuade you to go out and have dinner with her. What did you choose at this time?

[1. Write a note to directly refuse, and reprimand her not to say such things in the future, and tell her to give up the idea of ​​coaxing you out.]

[2. A direct rejection would really hurt Chika Tachibana's feelings. It would be better to decline politely by handing her a note and thank her in person.]

[3. I left Chika Tachibana alone and brought out the beautiful CG I'd gotten from the previous simulation. I cranked up the ambient sound effects to the maximum and started tinkering!]

【4. Free simulation】

Ah, here we go again, the abstract option!

Before eating breakfast, serve this side dish of CG to make it trendy~

Looking at option three on the screen, Chika Tachibana was practically on the verge of collapse. She even decided in her mind that if Akizuki Aino really ignored her and ignored the breakfast she had worked so hard to make in favor of the side dishes, she would have to mentally drop her favorability towards her cousin by ten points, nine points... Ahhhhh, at least one point!!

Also, what about the option of going out?

In the previous simulation, there was an option to go out, and another option expressed hesitation about going out. But this time, the only option related to going out among the three was a stern refusal...

"Ah! My cousin must be planning to dress up after I leave, just like last time, and meet me after the second selection."

Still holding good hopes for this third simulation, Chihua Ju suddenly realized something and quickly threw away the slight strangeness in her heart. She was just looking forward to what big thing her cousin would do to welcome her home this time.

I wouldn't really let her eat people while wearing only an apron (laughs).

However, contrary to what Chika Tachibana imagined, Akizuki Aino in the simulation did not act at all as she expected.

[Option 2]

Even though you have already made up your mind, you still want to keep the happiness of communicating with Chika Tachibana through the door and playing music with her as much as possible. It is the only thing that can support you.

Giving up the idea of ​​scolding her harshly, you wrote a polite refusal on a piece of paper and mustered up the courage to say thank you to Chika Tachibana as she left.

Afterwards, after breakfast, you retrieve the CG obtained from the last simulation and begin to try to enjoy the dessert.

But in stark contrast to your previous enthusiasm, no matter how much you appreciate it, you can't get interested. Your depressed mood has not improved, but has become even worse.

You did nothing but buried yourself in the quilt, sobbing and feeling heartbroken as you spent the whole day in a daze. In the evening, you heard the sound of the door lock and trembled slightly when you knew that Chika Tachibana had returned home.

"Cousin, why is the lunch box in the refrigerator untouched? Didn't you have lunch? Are you feeling unwell? Or is there some other reason? Not eating is not good..."

Outside the door, Chika Tachibana, who noticed that you had not eaten lunch, asked about your physical condition with concern and gave you gentle advice.

Even if you have no appetite, you should still prepare your lunch properly. Realizing your own negligence, you feel that you should respond to her in some way, at least not to make her worry too much.

At this time, you choose -

[1. The love and heart-wrenching pain buried in my heart for her can no longer be suppressed. I should follow my own desires and my true feelings. I pushed open the door and rushed into Chika Tachibana's arms. I cried loudly in her warm arms and vented all my pain.

People, be a little selfish, as long as you can be happy, isn't it? 】

[2. Have you forgotten the results of the last simulation? Do you want Chika Tachibana to face misfortune again? Can you leave the house and communicate with people other than Chika Tachibana? Don't make decisions based on your feelings, but make the right choice, Akizuki Aino!

I walked to her door and told her that I just had no appetite at noon and asked her to make more dinner. That was all, and I left it at that.

[3. Since you have made up your mind, be ruthless and pass her a note, telling her firmly that you don’t want to eat, there is no reason, and you also ask her not to interfere too much in your life and everything about you.

Only by reducing your affectionate interactions with Chika Tachibana as much as possible can your heart be calmer and your resolve more resolute.

【4. Free simulation】

"hiss--"

At this moment, all the clues were revealed, and Chika Tachibana couldn't help but gasp when she finally knew what her cousin was really thinking after the last simulation.

"Choose one!"

Unable to suppress her emotions, Chika Tachibana subconsciously screamed out her innermost wishes.

But because there were too many rooms between them, such a sound was destined not to reach Aino Akizuki's ears.

In an instant, she had made her choice.

[Option 2]

ps: Huhuhuhuhu, please give me recommendation votes and monthly votes! Ounega!!!

Chapter 69: The Way of the Man

[You should not have any contact with Chika Tachibana anymore.

The psychological difficulties could not be overcome. She could not walk out of the room and could not trust anyone other than Chika Tachibana and her daughter Aihua in the simulation.

You know in your heart that if you want to avoid repeating the same mistakes, the best way now is to simulate it like the first time, just like the direction your life should have taken if there was no simulator.

Keep your loneliness and don't have any contact with Chika Tachibana. Just appreciate her beauty in your heart, hold on to her gentleness and savor it for the rest of your life, and let her travel freely after three years.

But as expected, that would be too cruel for you, too unacceptable for you, or even impossible to do at all.

Having experienced the happiness that Chika Tachibana brought you, you couldn't let her go completely. You spent the whole day telling yourself that you should resolutely reject her this time, but the moment you heard her voice, you still succumbed to your own weakness.

You almost flew to the door and leaned against it as if this would bring you closer to Chikako Tachibana. Your gentle voice was mixed with a barely noticeable cry.

"I just didn't have an appetite for lunch. I want to eat the Sukiyaki made by Qianhua for dinner."

This is the first time in this simulation that you've asked her to make a specific dinner.

He really cares about you and is too affectionate to you. Just this level of "coquettishness" immediately sweeps away the worries in Tachibana Chika's heart. He can't hear your suppressed crying tone, and even makes a slightly "excessive" request to you.

"Then I'll rush to buy groceries right now and make the sukiyaki as soon as possible. Then, can you have dinner with me, cousin?

I'll go apologize to Zhenling and ask her not to come tonight, so it'll just be the two of us."

Chika Tachibana desperately wants to see you, wants to know what you look like, have more communication with you, and bring you closer.

Her sincerity fills your heart with warmth, and subconsciously, you almost agree.

But in the end, your mouth was already open, but you still closed it, hemming and hawing, opening and closing it again and again several times, and finally completely suppressed the urge in your heart to agree to her.

At this moment, your cheeks are wet with tears. If you open your mouth, it will reveal the fact that you are crying, so you just write the rejection crookedly on the paper and hand it over.

"Oh, it's okay. We still have plenty of time... I'll go buy groceries now."

Hearing Chika Tachibana's lost response and her footsteps that were heavier and slower than before when she left, your heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

But you have to.

Your bass, her guitar.

Aloof and gloomy, but you are the one who can hear and distinguish the emotions contained in the music. After playing together for a few days, you can clearly see the full passion and persistent enthusiasm contained in the immature piano sound of Chika Tachibana.

Chika Tachibana regarded music and guitar as torture, stopped playing for decades and deliberately avoided all topics related to music, and only finally took out that rusty guitar at your request before you died...

It's too painful, too painful for you and for Chika Tachibana.

If you love her, you will also pity her. Since you have already received her flawless and passionate love, and have left eternal and beautiful memories in your heart, you should think more about her and give her a beautiful future that she and you expect, and that fulfills her dreams.

Let go, just like Liz and the bluebird. Even if you feel lonely in your heart, you still let the bluebird fly away and give her the happiness of flying freely. You just need to watch silently, be happy for her happiness in the long days to come, and look forward to the reunion that will eventually come.

This is the best option, isn't it?

Rather than sharing the regrets of two people, it is far more appropriate for you, a dark and gloomy woman who never deserves any compassion, to bear the regrets and misfortunes alone.

"You stupid!"

I watched the text on the simulator with bated breath, feeling angry, depressed, and heartbroken about my cousin's choice.

Unable to control herself, she repeatedly hammered the pillow in her arms, and finally buried her head in it and breathed heavily, and Chika Tachibana cursed.

She had clearly stated it in the last simulation, and had expressed her lifelong feelings in the final singing.

Even a bride who can’t leave the house deserves her own happiness!

Why do I always feel so inferior? Why do I always let happiness slip away from my hands instead of fighting hard for it?

This kind of "selflessness" is actually less acceptable to her than selfishness.

Bearing loneliness alone...

If she couldn't see the specific content of the dating simulation, wouldn't my cousin really be in pain and regret her whole life?

"Since I provoked you without knowing why, isn't it right and proper for me to be responsible for you?"

Even if in the end, even if this time she failed to pull her cousin out of the abyss of isolation and seclusion, even if this time she was forced to give up music and felt regret and pain, then the two of them should bear this pain together.

Chika Tachibana clearly wanted both her dream and Aino Aino's happiness, but before she could take action, she had already suffered such betrayal...

"Just wait and see. I will definitely drag you, a cowardly, terrible, troublesome, disgusting person, out of that ridiculous safe house. I will!"

She vented a lot of the anger in her heart, and her eyes became sharp as she took heavy breaths. As for Akizuki Aino, the jerk who made her angry, Chika Tachibana had already decided that she would teach her a lesson in the future.

And that is exactly what "Chika Tachibana" is thinking in the simulation.

[Except for a few words in daily life and the music at night, even though your longing for her grows stronger every day, you still try your best to avoid having more contact with her.

How long can this kind of life last? How long can you suppress the surging emotions in your heart?

You don’t know, you can only try your best to endure it, endure it painfully every day.

However, even though you have endured such torment, outside the door, Chika Tachibana is unwilling to "let you go".

You are her close cousin, a troubled girl living with her in the host family. She has a natural affinity for you and a sense of responsibility to take good care of you. Even if you refuse again and again, her offensive towards you never stops, and becomes stronger every day.

After all, I still like her and I still want to see her!

Finally, when you feel that the psychological defense you have worked so hard to build is about to crumble under the tenderness of Chika Tachibana and her sugar-coated bullets, you curse at her through the door, and against your will, use the harshest words to try to push her away.

Your heart was hurt again and bleeding, but you got what you wanted. You hurt her so much that for several days in a row, Chika Tachibana no longer mentioned asking you to go out when she brought you food.

But it seems that you hurt her too deeply and too seriously.

You seem to have forgotten that this girl who has taken care of you and supported you all your life may appear strong, but she is actually very soft inside. Her body is slender, thin and weak, and she is not made of steel.

Being rebuked, cursed, and cruelly rejected by people close to her many times, she would also feel pain, and sorrow would accumulate in her heart, eventually floating out of her weak body.

It's a cold and rainy day, and it's time to deliver dinner to you again. You lean against the door and listen to the familiar footsteps gradually becoming clearer, but you can't hear the familiar knock on the door.

Instead, there was the dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground and the crisp sound of a plate breaking on the ground.
