Tokyo, there are too many beautiful girls imitating me

[Once there is a first, there will be a second. In the following days, you forced yourself to meet with Mizuki Marin every night, ruining the time she had been looking forward to spending with Chika Tachibana.

It's like desensitization training. After doing this many times, you can finally tolerate the presence of Mitsuki Marin. Mitsuki Marin also makes progress. Gradually, she is no longer affected by your discouragement and regains her previous vitality. At the dinner table, she talks to Chika Tachibana about all the interesting things that happened in school as if you didn't exist.

"That's really fun."

“Is that so…eh? Eh!!!”

After being able to adapt, you will have the interest and desire to talk. In the midst of their conversation, you suddenly interrupted with a sentence. Kanzuki Manrin subconsciously responded, and was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was not the clear voice of Tachibana Chikaka, but your somewhat hoarse voice. She screamed and almost fell over with the chair.

After nearly two weeks, you finally took the first step back into society and conquered another person besides Chika Tachibana.

[It's like playing a game. After a successful experience, you gain a lot of experience points, and the subsequent levels will be easier. Soon you will reconnect with Miki Matsushima, and with the introduction of Chika Tachibana, you will get to know the drummer Hanasaka Yui in the band.

Next, it is time to defeat the final boss, which means actually leaving home and going to the outside world.

You are full of confidence in this.

To do this, you muster all your strength.

Then, you lose miserably.

In the outside world, there are not only Chika Tachibana and Manabu Kanzuki, who are your rivals in love but are kind-hearted and willing to accept you. There are also, many more, bad people who disgust you, make you uncomfortable, and who will also disgust you and feel uncomfortable with you.

You know this truth very well and have already encountered that fact, so you can never deceive yourself. Under the influence of mental illness, you cannot take even a step outside. Even just looking out through an open door will feel terrifying.

Verbal comfort and encouragement are of no use, and medicine cannot alleviate anything.

Your biggest enemy is yourself. Even if you have the best equipment and a perfect partner like Chika Tachibana, you still can't overcome this hurdle.

But...it doesn't matter.

After all, no matter how cowardly you are, the lovely girl Chika Tachibana will always protect you and love you.

Once such a weak thought is born, it will grow unstoppably in your heart. The desire and persistence to cross the door disappear in an instant, and your courage can no longer be supported.

Besides your final boss, are there any hidden bosses?

Nestled in Chika Tachibana's arms, your back gently caressed, enveloped in endless tenderness and love, you suddenly felt a chill on your back.

Chapter 74: No Longer Her

[Apart from your own mental illness, Chika Tachibana will tolerate you no matter what. This fearless love for you seems to be one of the reasons why you can't step out of the house.

You know you shouldn't have such thoughts and that they are wrong, but you still can't stop yourself from escaping and indulging in a comfortable and carefree lifestyle.

At the last hurdle leading to a happy ending with Chika Tachibana, you retreated in front of yourself and retreated in front of Chika Tachibana's indulgence of you. Not only did you give up Plan A, which was to refuse to have close contact with Chika Tachibana, you also gave up Plan B, which was to break through yourself and stand on the stage she expected.

In the following days, you stayed at home, taking care of Chika Tachibana like a wife, and spent a very comfortable time with her.

During this period, you consciously avoided close contact with her and did not express your love to her, living as if your relationship was just two girls, just cousins.

You thought that in this way, Chika Tachibana, who did not have deep feelings for you, should be able to abandon you and escape from you.

However, as shallow and dark as you are, one day you meet someone as brilliant as a rainbow. When you fall in love with that person and have the extravagant desire to possess that person for yourself, the love in your eyes cannot be truly hidden.

What's more, the person you like is Chika Tachibana, who is always smart and good at handling things.

In the past three years, the joy and passion in your heart have long been seen through by her and strongly felt.

Even though you tried hard not to show it, the end result was no different. Instead, it made her feel more pity for you and heartbroken that you kept suppressing your inner feelings.

In the second semester of your senior year, you once again discovered Tokyo University entrance exam questions from previous years on Chika Tachibana's desk.

"If I choose to leave, I don't think you'll be able to bear it, cousin. So, I'd like to make some more pragmatic considerations for the future."

"I haven't. Even if you leave, my life won't change. I'll just be living alone. I've lived like this for two years before you, so I won't have any problems adapting to it in the future."

"really?"

Grabbing your shoulders as you trembled with excitement and threw a tantrum for no apparent reason, Chika Tachibana put her cheek close to yours and asked in confusion, her eyes full of seriousness.

Really.

You should have said something like this, but with her staring at you like that, you couldn't bring yourself to utter the lie that was brewing in your heart.

"I'm scared. I've been away for too long, and I won't be able to find you when I come back."

You are used to seeing someone as the pillar of support in your heart. The betrayal of your first love in junior high school has made you the lonely person you are now. This time you lose Chika Tachibana, who has a bond with you that is even deeper than your first love. What will you do?

Would he, lost and helpless, seek death in despair? Or would he, just to make Chika Tachibana feel at ease, live a life half-human, half-ghost, missing her every day, waiting for her to visit, and then, in his endless loneliness, drag her down once again? And once again, destroy her happiness.

Rather than letting Chika Tachibana see you dead, rather than letting the fireworks of her dreams ignite in her heart only to be extinguished by your cold water, it is better to keep her by your side now.

Anyway, this was Chika Tachibana's own choice, wasn't it?

This time, you didn't say to her in person such cunning and threatening words as "You are the only one I have, Qianhua".

Everything is out of Chika Tachibana's own will. Compared to the happiness of being active on the stage, what she wants more and is more attached to is the happiness of spending the rest of her life with you.

Thinking of this, you sobbed and threw yourself into Chika Tachibana's arms, feeling her warm and beautiful body.

However, at this moment when you should be feeling supreme happiness, your heart is still empty, painful, and full of regrets.

There is still one last chance to make amends, you decide——】

[1. Compared to the ending of spending the rest of her life with you, Chika Tachibana clearly has a better ending of realizing her musical dream with wonderful friends and spending her life with a girl who is better and more outstanding than you.

Since you love her, don't be selfish, don't you think, Akizuki Aino.

I pushed her away cruelly and scolded this arrogant guy who had trapped himself in a cocoon and embarked on the wrong path in life because of another person!

[2. A girl who cannot leave the house also deserves happiness. I have already revealed Chika Tachibana's thoughts to you, and now I have made the same choice again.

Is it true, as she claims, that you were the one who had been trapped in your own web all along? She has no regrets about giving up her dreams for you.

Accept her, accept the future that you truly desire in your heart, and spend your life with her again.

[3. There's nothing extra to consider. Don't miss the perfect atmosphere. Raise your head and kiss her. Quickly undress and seduce her into the room. Let Chika Tachibana freely access the room that originally belonged to Aihua!]

【4. Free simulation.】

Option 1

Without any hesitation, Akizuki Aino clicked option one.

She was fed up with the pain of spending her life in regret. If she had the chance to start over again, all she wanted was to let go. However, her mind was not strong enough and she could not resist the temptation of Chika Tachibana.

Now is the time for her to put everything back on track.

"Am I also wrong for being too gentle and caring too much about my cousin in this relationship?"

Her eyes sparkled at the sight of the text on the simulator. Looking at the simulation, she saw the relationship between the two of them becoming increasingly distorted, causing them both more and more pain. Seeing her cousin choose option one without hesitation, Chika Tachibana couldn't help but murmur dejectedly.

She thought that since she had provoked her cousin and made it difficult for her to be happy and joyful without her, she should take responsibility for her.

But now it seems that her active approach made her cousin happy but also made her feel more guilty, and she was depriving her cousin of her happiness.

Her gentleness is a burden to Akizuki Aino, who is sensitive, kind but lacks self-confidence.

Under the premise that they cannot leave the house, a future that can bring happiness to the two of them may not exist from the beginning.

But how can we change this premise?

Although the simulator did not give any specific content but just glossed over it, Chika Tachibana thought that if the simulator could really simulate her actions perfectly, then she seemed to be really helpless as she had spent three years in this simulation and still failed to solve the problem of Akizuki Aino.

Now let's wait and see what will be the ending of Akizuki Aino if she chooses to push her away from this future. Will she be able to let it go? Will she be able to cherish her life and leave this painful world in a self-determined way as she expected.

"If my cousin hadn't committed suicide, I would..."

So what? Just choose to leave, choose to let her go?

Covering her aching heart, after the pain subsided, all Chika Tachibana could show was a helpless bitter smile.

It was she who took the wrong path and dragged Akizuki Aino, who was living a lonely but peaceful and comfortable life, into it. How could she let go of her so ruthlessly?

Then she would no longer be herself.

Chapter 75: No character song this time

"Huh~, is that the case again? But it's not bad."

Having decided to take responsibility, giving up easily is not her style. Watching the subsequent content of the simulation, Chika Tachibana was able to once again confirm that the "her" simulated by the simulator was indeed her.

At the same time, she once again realized the "deceptiveness" of her cousin's choice of branch in the love simulation.

It seems that three different options are given, which may lead to different simulation endings, but in fact, in the simulation of cousin Akizuki Aino, many times, no matter which option is chosen, only the process will change, and the ending will not change at all.

Her cousin chose to push her away. Chika Tachibana thought the simulation would unfold differently from the last time, but the result was...

[Because Chika Tachibana is a gentle person, someone who will truly give her heart to a dark and twisted guy like you, that's why you fall in love with her.

But precisely because she is a gentle person, she will hurt herself for you again and again.

Chika Tachibana can indulge you, but you can't allow her to continue to degenerate like this.

You are not someone worth her falling for and getting herself into trouble for.

"Chika Tachibana! I don't need your pity, and I don't need you to take on any responsibility for me! I see all your talent and hard work. You deserve a more glorious life. Don't let it go because of me.

If I were to break your wings because of me, I would feel guilty, and it would be more painful than death, and I would live in that pain for the rest of my life... woooooo."

You have been confused more than once, entangled more than once, and imagined more than once.

Which is more painful, living a life without Chika Tachibana, or possessing Chika Tachibana while destroying her?

Now that you are in the situation and the time comes to make a choice, you finally get the answer.

You are despicable, selfish and self-centered, so of course you will have to endure the even more painful days without Chika Tachibana and unable to be with her day and night.

Screaming, your chest aches with pain, and endless sorrow makes your heart tighten and contract, but rationality still supports you to say these words that go against your true feelings.

Until Chika Tachibana sealed your mouth and kissed you forcefully but tenderly.

"Cousin, you're such a fool, you just can't understand.

I am actually not strong or powerful at all, and I am also afraid of loneliness.

That's why he invited Mayulin to his home and made an appointment with her to have dinner together.

I not only felt sorry for her living alone in a deserted apartment, but I was also lonely and wanted to find someone close to accompany me, to lick each other's wounds and fill the anxiety in my heart.

Therefore, I was the selfish one all along. I used all means to drag you out of the room for my own selfish thoughts. In fact, it was not to save you, but more to save my own heart that longed for companionship and warmth and was on the verge of breaking.

And during this long time of companionship, I really fell in love with you, my cousin who gave me warmth, perhaps even more than you can imagine.

It’s not that you can’t leave me, cousin, but that I can’t leave you either. I rely on you to the point that I can even give up music. I just love you to this extent.

Ai Nai You is not the only person I can rely on, but the person I want to rely on the most is undoubtedly you. If you still push me away against your will like you do now, I will not be happy even if my dream comes true.

Ai Nai, you have put me in a dilemma where no matter what, my life will be full of regrets. Even if it is my own willfulness, please take responsibility for me, accept me, and let me live a happy life for the rest of my life, so that you and I can have fewer regrets.

Kissing you until you stop struggling and become calm, and then kissing you until you become limp, gently holding you in her arms who is as wet as water, Chika Tachibana makes the most gentle and affectionate confession to you in the world.

Plop, plop~

Your ears are burning, you can hear Chika Tachibana's gentle breathing in the tenderness, and in your mind is the overly powerful thundering sound of your heart.

Suddenly, you stopped your last struggle, and you completely obeyed Chikako Tachibana's wishes, and even more obeyed your own wishes.

You exhaled heavily, and the air felt stuffy and hot on Chikako Tachibana's chest. You felt it carefully with your cheek, and felt comfortable all over, from head to toes, as if you were ascending to heaven.

Finally, after two simulations, and after being chosen by Chika Tachibana once again, and after finally hearing the face-conscious and thin-skinned Chika Tachibana speak the truth hidden in her heart, you finally untied the knot and lump in your heart.

It's never a regret. You are a selfish person. What you worry about and what makes you feel painful is never the regret that you cut off Chika Tachibana's wings and bound her in a cage where she could not sing or shine, but a more despicable mood.

What you have always been afraid of is that Chika Tachibana doesn't love you.

The so-called regret is just an appearance. You who are not confident and have low self-esteem, and are far less outstanding than Miki Matsunami, are actually most afraid that Chika Tachibana's love for you is not pure enough, and that she chose you only out of responsibility and out of a sense of guilt.

You just feel insecure. You just want to hear Chika Tachibana say she loves you and give you a reason that you can accept.

And now, you have that reason.

It’s not because of any responsibility, but because she needs you, and because she is weak and can’t live without you.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

There is no more shyness, no more mountains and seas between the two of you. You pout your soft lips proudly like a winner and allow Chika Tachibana to kiss you again.

So, for the first time, your bodies and minds are truly open to each other, and you spend the entire night in a state of upheaval.

[Chika Tachibana still gave up music for you, but with her heart knot untied, you were finally able to accept this imperfect life that made both of you feel regretful, and officially dated her, becoming her prospective wife.

A few years later, the same-sex marriage law was enacted, and you immediately became her wife, and soon after gave birth to the lovely little Aihua.
