How can my simulation be a real love?

[1. Don't worry about it, first calm Hongxia down.]

2. Try to get Ijichi Hoshika back.

[3. You will take Nijika and go there in place of Mrs. Ijichi.]

4. Virtual Reality, Personal Simulation

"Is it true..."

A strange glint flashed in Kazami's eyes.

It must have been here that Nijika's mother died unexpectedly in a rear-end collision. In any case, the first option cannot be chosen here, and calling Ijika back is also very unreliable.

With her arrogant and spoiled personality, Sister Xingge is 100% not coming back.

So, is the third option all that's left?

He told Hongxia's mother to stay behind, while he would take Hongxia to find Xingge himself.

"Should we take Nijika with us?" Kazami Mei frowned slightly.

If he were hit by a car, he probably wouldn't die. Although it's unknown whether his 'Endurance LV3' skill was active, he shouldn't be able to be killed by a direct hit if he's being careful.

If all else fails, you'll have to spend resurrection coins to try again.

The biggest problem right now is how to convince Ichiji Seika.

But in the end, he was just a nine-year-old kid in Xingge's eyes, and this proud older sister's personality was too stubborn, making it even more difficult to bring Hongxia, who was still a child, along.

"I think I'll choose the third one after all."

Since that's the case, I can only trust myself.

You earnestly explained your thoughts to Mrs. Ijichi. She seemed somewhat surprised by your sudden decision, but perhaps because your previous behavior had been too mature, Mrs. Ijichi smiled and agreed.

[You thus obtained Ijichi Seika's current address, phone number, and other contact information from Mrs. Ijichi. Nijika hesitated for a moment regarding your decision, but ultimately agreed to go with you.]

"Let's have a good chat when we run into Sister Xingge later?"

[You've found Ichiji Hoshika's location. She's shocked that a kid suddenly showed up with her sister, and even her bandmates are a bit surprised. In a flustered state, she brought you out.]

Faced with Ichiji Hoshika at this moment, you decide—

[1. Threaten her that if she doesn't come home, he'll rush up to her during her live stream, hug her legs, and call her "Mommy."]

2. Have a proper talk with her about Hongxia's problem.

I'm so tired, so alone

3. Draw a picture for her.

3. Virtual Reality, Personal Simulation

To be fair, there's something to say about this first option—

Kazami Mei hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind.

"So, what are you doing here?"

Ijichi Hoshika was wearing a loose black and white hoodie, and her shoulder-length blonde hair looked a bit messy because she didn't take care of it. She was staring at Kazami Mei and Koni Nijika with a troubled expression, as if she was having a headache.

"Of course it's because my sister hasn't come home for a month! Mom and Dad are very worried!"

Little Hongxia puffed out her adorable cheeks like a little steamed bun, and shook her two little hands with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Ijichi Seika was already fed up with her clingy younger sister.

She cares more about her friends than her family, and she prefers to stay in a LiveHouse rather than go home.

This isn't the first time Ichika Hoshika has felt that 'family is troublesome'.

Previously, when her younger sister bothered her, she could get Kazami, that brat, to help her deal with it. But this time, the other girl came to find her with Nijika, which made her rub her temples with a headache.

Feeling somewhat agitated, Ijichi Hoshika didn't intend to say much more to the two children. She casually spent money to order some puddings and other desserts, then spoke to them with an indifferent expression—

"If it's just this kind of thing, then there's nothing more to say."

"I have an important practice to prepare for later. After you finish these snacks, hurry back."

With a slightly troubled and weary expression on her face, Ijichi Hoshika casually waved her hand.

She seemed to have no intention of saying much to the two children who were twelve years younger than her, and had even taken out her phone to call her mother at home to ask her to come and pick them up.

Seeing her older sister still looking like this, Xiao Hongxia's eyes were already filled with glistening tears.

She muttered under her breath, pouting, "...My sister is an idiot!"

"It's so noisy, go back inside."

Despite her younger sister crying and expressing her dissatisfaction, Ichiji Hoshika remained as tough as ever.

Just as she was about to pick up the bill to pay and send the two kids back home, Kazami Mei, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up—

"Sister Xingge, are you having fun playing rock music?"

His sudden words caused Ichiji Hoshika to raise an eyebrow slightly.

Unlike her childish and clingy younger sister, Nijika, Ijichi Hoshika has a different perspective on Kazami Mei, a brat whose personality is unlike that of a child.

Faced with his question, Ichiji Seika's expression became less perfunctory.

"What do you want to say?" Ichiji Hoshika still had her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“I also think that standing on the rock stage can be very exciting, because music is essentially like painting, it is an ‘art’ that can touch the soul of others through sound.”

"Sister Xingge, you must feel very satisfied to show your hard work."

Kazami Mei reached out and gently stroked Nijika's head, calming the little girl who was crying pitifully. She comforted her while speaking with a bright smile.

"Anyone who is single-mindedly striving to pursue their dreams is the coolest."

With like-minded bandmates, they face difficulties without fear and forge ahead.

To be able to stand on the stage, I practiced every skill and coordination day and night. Then, the moment I stood on the stage and felt the cheers of the audience, the sense of accomplishment that surged into my mind was beyond imagination.

Kazami Mei naturally understood why Hoshika was so obsessed with bands.

"You little devil..."

Ijichi blushed a little at his words and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"But even when pursuing dreams, family is completely irreplaceable."

Kazami's tone suddenly became somewhat low.

"Although Hongxia always says that she hates you and the so-called band, it's just because you ignore her feelings too much. In reality, Hongxia just wants to be with you."

"Even if I could be with her... it would still be no match for Sister Xingge as family."

Ijichi Hoshika's expression was somewhat stiff. She shifted her gaze slightly to look at Koyomi Kagami, who was standing next to Kazami Mei.

"..."

Although her younger sister was still sobbing softly, she stubbornly refused to look away from her cold gaze. Seeing Ichiji Nijika's pitiful appearance made Hoshika feel inexplicably sad, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

“Hongxia has always wanted to see Xingge’s live performance.”

"I don't want to, Naruto is an idiot..." Ichiji Nijika still looked angry, turning her little head forcefully.

But you could tell from the tears welling up in her eyes that she was just lying.

"...I understand!"

"You guys better hurry home! If you don't go back soon, Mom will start nagging me again..."

Faced with this situation, Ichiji Hoshika scratched her head in frustration.

To be told such a 'lesson' by a kid twelve years younger than herself made Ichiji Hoshika feel a strange sense of shame welling up in her brain, so she casually replied and told them to leave quickly.

However, it seems that he was also thinking about what Kazami Mei had just said, and that it was not good to be so forceful.

Ijichi Hoshika crossed her arms over her chest and hesitated for a moment.

She sighed heavily and said, "Kazemi, go back and tell your mother not to worry."

"...I will find some time to go back soon."

……

[You decided to have a serious talk with Iji Tomoka about Nijika's issues. Although your efforts to persuade her seem to have had some effect, Iji Tomoka's mind is still only focused on her own dreams and her band. It might not be enough to change her too much.]

However, this may be a good start.

[Just as you were about to take Ijichi Nijika home, Mrs. Ijichi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, smiling and giving you a thumbs up. Only then did you realize that she had secretly followed you out of concern.]

Perhaps because she witnessed what you said to Ijichi Seika, Mrs. Ijichi is even more satisfied with you. On the way back, she kept praising you for being so capable and said she would feel much more at ease leaving Nijika in your care.

[Nijika Ichiji blushed and ran off to playfully fight with her mother, but she seemed a little flustered and avoided your gaze.]

[Nijika Ijichi's feelings for you have increased.]

[You only learned about the car accident after you got home. The most important thing is that it happened near your house. Such a dangerous incident has left your mother and the Iji family quite frightened.]

Fortunately, this was just a minor incident and didn't affect you or anyone around you.

"We've got it!"

Kazami Mei let out a long sigh of relief, feeling much better.

It seems that my interference has had a significant impact on the future of this simulation.

At least Mrs. Ijichi didn't die unexpectedly in the car accident, and Ijichi Seika seems to be changing little by little. Although the changes are not many, they are slowly improving over time.

The simulation successfully navigated the biggest crisis without major incident.

"I had already prepared for the worst, such as the possibility of a car accident on the way back..."

It seems he was overthinking things; this is just a bonus level, isn't it?

Humanity is always moving forward. You, who were once considered 'still in need of investigation' by the art world, released a new work, "Moon," at the age of ten, winning the 'Golden Award for Youth Art.' This time, the quality of your oil painting far surpasses your previous work, silencing some of the rumors.

Online media reports have split into two extremes: one side lavishly praises you as a "young genius," while the other side launches fierce attacks against your outspokenness, claiming that you have a professional team behind you deliberately creating hype.

You ignored all the rumors and gossip, immersing yourself wholeheartedly in your own world of paintings.

These online attacks and malicious suspicions make you stronger.

It seems that this simulation of her own painting talent will far exceed Kazami Mei's expectations.

At the tender age of ten, he has already won the 'Gold Award'. Although it is only a children's art award, it is enough to prove that his talent far surpasses that of other talented peers.

That is, the 'genius' among 'geniuses'.

[Ijichi Hoshika recently went home again. After a serious talk with Mrs. Ijichi last night, she reluctantly decided to take Nijika and you to see her live performance, on the condition that you keep Nijika in check and prevent her from causing trouble during the live performance.]

Although she was still sulking, Ijichi Nijika obediently followed you to Ijichi Seika's live performance. Seika, who was performing on stage, seemed to put in all her effort when she saw the two of you, and gave it her all, playing at her highest level.

[Ijichi Hoshika's all-out performance, her cheerful and cool smile seemed to make her shine on stage.]

[Before, Ijichi Nijika didn't care about the band and even hated it. Because of her older sister, she developed a longing for the band for the first time. She had never understood what a 'dream' was before, and she waved her little fists and cheered wildly.]

This also allowed Ichika Hoshika to experience the sense of acceptance from her family for the first time.

[Ijichi Seika, who used to always treat Nijika as a nuisance and dump her on you, seems to have changed a lot because of this live performance. She's starting to come home more often and is willing to talk more about her younger sister.]

The conflicts within the Ijichi family seem to have been resolved because of you.

[Nijika Ijichi's feelings for you have increased.]

"Wait a minute, isn't this progress a bit too smoothly?"

Having learned various lessons from numerous simulations, Kazami Mei suddenly became more vigilant.

He wasn't sure if this simulation was actually a 'bonus level,' but so far there hadn't been any problems. The smooth progress made him start to suspect that this damn simulator had been swapped with something else.

Could it be the power of childhood sweethearts?

With some suspicions arising in her mind, Kazami Mei continued looking down.

At age 13, you and Ijichi Nijika both entered Shimokitazawa Junior High School.

[Your landscape painting skills and use of color have become increasingly refined with experience, coupled with the solid foundation you laid in painting since childhood. Your work "Sunset in Laguna" won the Gold Medal for Impressionism that year, tearing away the fig leaf of online media.]
