[Because of work, Saki and Koichi packed up and left Misaki the day after they visited you. You went to Asagiri's house to see them off.]
[You did not give the finished portrait to Mayu, but kept it for yourself. You hung it in an empty room along with the painting of the maid's skirt.]
[The companionship of nearly three years has left you with deep feelings in her heart, and also left her image deep in the room of your memory. ]
[Time wears away memories and emotions. Think about it, when you see the girl in the future, she will definitely not look the same as she does now.]
[The portrait left behind will be your memory.]
[You feel that you are a little melancholy. You think that maybe, just like what your parents said when they urged you to go, you feel a little lonely.]
Pausing the simulation, Nan Youxi reached for the phone beside the pillow. The light from the screen illuminated his face, which was a bit dazzling. He squinted his eyes for a while to adjust and searched for Sakuragaoka City.
It's a city made up of several islands on the other side of Japan.
Islands are nothing new in Japan, but these islands are not well-known and there is not even any tourism promotion.
He thought that if things continued along the normal path, he in the Sims would probably never set foot on the island where the girl was.
Did this simulation fail
Or is this how a life simulation that has nothing to do with love should develop
Maybe, the previous option, choosing to bring the girl home for the New Year, is the correct option
He couldn't figure it out, but he thought it was good.
Shagui and Hongyi safely crossed the dangerous bridge of life. Hongyi did not commit suicide because of the debt, and Shagui did not fall ill due to grief and overwork. They returned to their daughter and could spend a happy life with her.
If he were to judge, he felt that this was the best Happy End.
I don't know what this simulator is thinking.
By the way, in the previous simulation, it was not mentioned that Mayu would move away from Misaki. Did he interfere too much in this simulation and disrupt the future? After all, even Mayu's birth was brought forward.
He put aside the doubts and slight sadness in his heart and continued to look at the simulation interface.
To know if this is the perfect ending, just keep watching the simulation.
[The news of Moyou's departure was first known to Xin'ai, and then to your mother, who called you.]
[She got some advice from an expert, and didn't mention anything about urging you to get married. She just said that you were alone in the studio, and if something happened, no one would take care of you. She recommended Yuko.]
[You rejected her proposal and told her that you were about to embark on a journey to South Africa to collect folk songs.]
[Mother also said that it would be safer to travel in pairs. You said you would hire a special team.]
[She ran out of excuses, and you hung up the phone before she revealed her disguise and started urging you to get married.]
[Mother hesitated for a week, asked for leave from work, and decided to go to Misaki to look for you, and take advantage of Mayu's absence to attack you.]
[Before she left, you packed your luggage, arranged your itinerary, said goodbye to Nao and the others, and boarded the plane to South Africa.]
[The loneliness you feel will soon dissipate in the savannah, on the beach, and in the small towns and villages full of African style.]
[The spiritual light you have accumulated in Misaki for nearly three years and brewed in your life with Mayu is growing freely in this vast land.]
[You spent a year in South Africa, painting the vastness of the sky, the desolation of the earth, and the wildness of lions and leopards.]
[Then, you used your connections in the art world to board a research vessel to Antarctica.]
[You stayed in Antarctica for three months, returned to Japan for a month to rest, and left Japan again.]
[The paintings you left behind sparked a great discussion in the art world. Critics said that the once talented young man had finally returned to the industry. You did not make public the paintings you drew during your three years in Misaki, so the industry thought you had stopped drawing for three years.]
[When your parents read the news about you, they were delighted but helpless. You have achieved such success in art, but you are unwilling to take even one step towards marriage.]
[You are elusive, so it is difficult for them to stop you. When they finally meet you, you neither confirm nor deny their words. You just break away at the right moment and travel around the world again.]
[Your reputation in the art world is growing, and your paintings have won many prestigious awards.]
[In addition to your relatives and friends, there is another person who cares about you.]
[That is Asagiri Mayu.]
[At first, when we parted, you kept in touch and sent each other Line messages. Later, the words between you sank into the long river of time.]
[In South America, you were accidentally involved in a gunfight and were shot in the abdomen.]
[This accident was caused by your willful behavior. The tour guide told you that the street you were on was in a very bad order, but you refused to leave in order to look at the messy street for a while longer.]
[You were shot and stayed in a South American hospital for a month before returning to Japan to recuperate.]
[You have forgotten the last time you stayed in Misaki for a long time. This busy city makes you a little bored. Your painting inspiration is suppressed in this man-made city.]
[You want to find a new place to recuperate. Mitsuki invites you to her hometown in the countryside, Nao invites you to her grandmother's house, Yuko and Reina invite you to go to the north for a three-person vacation, and Kazumi can't find a suitable place, so she says she can go anywhere with you.]
[Besides them, your parents have been urging you to return to Ino County.]
[While you were hesitating, you received another invitation.]
[The invitation comes from Hongyi. Hongyi Asagiri sent you a letter with a stack of photos in it. They show the beautiful scenery of the island.]
[In the letter, he expressed his concern for your health and shared his own experiences. Finally, on behalf of the literary and political circles of Sakura Hill, he invited you to go to Sakura Hill for recuperation and artistic exchange.]
[Faced with these invitations, you choose...]
[1. “A threesome might be a good idea.”]
[2. "It's been a long time since I last visited Ino County."]
[3. "Art is more important than self-cultivation!"]
[4. Free simulation]
After reading these options word by word twice, Nan Youxi first analyzed the future they represented.
Option one, a threesome, refers to Yuko and Reina's suggestion to go to Hokkaido to enjoy the snow with them.
This option leads to an ending that is probably related to Yuko and Reina.
Nan Youxi was somewhat tempted to choose this one. He wanted to see what kind of future he and Yuko Reina could have in this simulation.
Yuko and Reina, who had been mutually exclusive in the previous simulation, actually invited him together in this simulation.
He nodded his head and continued to look at the next two options.
Option two, Ino County, going back to his parents. The future of this option is probably being urged to get married by his parents, which may be related to Nao and the others, or it may be related to his sister's best friend.
Option three, art is the priority. Nan Youxi didn’t understand the meaning of this for a moment. Did it mean to continue traveling with a body that has not yet fully recovered
Isn't this a simulation of Moyu? Why is there no option for Moyu
Option three says that art is the most important thing, which probably means that you should accept Hongyi's invitation and go to Sakuragaoka City where Hongyi is for artistic exchange, and at the same time - go to Mayu's side.
Once you understand what the options mean, it becomes clear what the correct option is.
He thought about it and clicked option three to take a look at the correct future first.
[Read Hongyi's letter carefully. After settling down in Sakuragaoka City, Hongyi and Saki's careers developed very smoothly. In order to live a stable life, they left their busy jobs and went to a leisurely department. They were originally planning to start retirement, but unexpectedly, Saki was promoted all the way and became a senior executive of the company.]
[In the past two years, Moyou has grown up, and they can't stand the urging of their careers, so they decide to come out again. ]
[A year ago, Shagui became a partner of the company, and the two of them are very busy helping the company expand its business.]
[Hongyi invites you to Sakuraigaoka City, where you can relax, recuperate, communicate with colleagues, and see them by the way.]
[Along with this letter, there is another letter. When you open that letter, you will find an invitation letter from a literary and artistic figure in Sakuragaoka.]
[You wrote to Koichi and accepted the invitation from Sakuragaoka City.]
[Hongyi and Shagui called you. Shagui was not surprised that you accepted the invitation, but he was still very pleasantly surprised.]
[Saki knew that Nao and the others had invited you, and knew that you needed a way to avoid them, so he asked Koichi to write that letter.]
[Although she doesn't quite understand why you are unwilling to accept one of Nao's daughters. ]
[After you arrived, Saki and Koichi warmly entertained you in the city of Sakuragaoka. People from the literary and art circles of Sakuragaoka and government officials were also sitting at the same table with you.]
[The people of Sakuragaoka City did not expect that you would actually come here at the invitation. Sakuragaoka is a city with no sense of existence. It has no outstanding features in terms of economy and culture, and it does not even have its own specialty.]
[In the painting world, there is not a single famous painter in Sakuragaoka. ]
[A few weeks ago, at a dinner party organized by the government, they heard Shagui and Hongyi talking about you, so they tentatively wrote a letter and asked Hongyi to mail it. They were overjoyed at your arrival, and their attitude was therefore humble.]
[You chat with them normally, and you are a little disappointed because Mayu is not at the table.]
[The mayor who received you told you that they have reserved a villa for you in the city. If you wish, you can also stay in a villa near the sea in the suburbs.]
[While you are hesitating, Shagui suddenly interrupts and says that you want to live in their home.]
[You are shocked. You didn't expect Shagui to say that. Look at Hongyi. Hongyi is also surprised.]
[You missed the chance to refuse because you were surprised. By the time you realized you should refuse, the people at the same table were already praising the beauty of Uta Island.]
[The Asagiri family lives on a small island far away from the main island of Sakura-no-Oka. ]
[The image of Mayu flashed through your mind, and you didn't say anything, just acquiescing.]
[At the invitation of the Sakuragaoka literary and artistic community, you stayed in the city for a week. After a week, you boarded the ferry to Utajima.]
[Saki and Koichi were still working and didn't go with you. The boat to Uta Island was very small, with only four rows of seats in the cabin, and there were only you and two middle-aged men sitting there.]
[You stand by the window, looking at the sea outside the glass. The sky is gloomy, and white seagulls are circling low over the dim sea.]
[The ship enters the harbor, you carry your suitcase, follow the two middle-aged men out of the cabin, and step onto the island.]
[The wind started to blow, and the clouds in the sky were very close to the ground, almost pressing down on the tip of the small white lighthouse next to it.]
[You took two steps and stopped. The two middle-aged men disappeared behind the woods next to you. You didn't know where to go.]
[At this time, you met the strange girl.]
[Under the low, gray clouds, a girl in a blue sailor suit carrying a brown backpack stood quietly outside the dock.]
[She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long black hair fluttering in the wind and a fair face that was brighter than the gray sky.]
[She had been waiting here for a while, kicking the stones on the ground out of boredom.]
[The girl suddenly senses something and looks in your direction.]
[You saw the girl's face, which reminded you of Mitsuki, but she was younger and cuter than Mitsuki.]
[You suspect she is Moyou, but she doesn't smile when she sees you. She keeps a calm face and slowly walks in front of you.]
[Without exclamation or reminiscing, the girl asked you to follow her and walked ahead of you on her own.]
[You follow her with doubts.]
[You turned around the woods, climbed up the hillside, and came to a flat plateau. ]
[A large, old wooden house appears before you. Behind the house, the gray sea is surging.]
[It starts to rain and it's getting dark. You follow the girl into the house and sit down in the living room.]
[The girl brings you some snacks and goes to the kitchen to prepare dinner. ]
[After dinner, she takes you to your bedroom and makes your bed. During this time, you barely communicate.]
[Lying in bed, you listen to the sound of rain on the roof and feel dreamy. The reason for the dream is confusion.]
[You first wondered if the girl was Mayu. If so, why did she treat you so calmly? If not, who was she? Was she the second daughter of Saki and Koichi? ]
[You also think that the question about the girl's identity is probably your way of avoiding it. She is undoubtedly Moyu, and you just don't want to believe her plainness. ]
[You feel a little lost, but also a little relaxed.]
[Time can wear away everything. I think your relationship has also been worn away by time.]
[Is this really true?]
[Moyou is in her room. She sits in front of the desk. The desk lamp illuminates her upper body, separating her from the darkness.]
After stopping the simulation, Nan Youxi felt a slight dizziness in his head. He knew that the memory scene was about to appear.
Is it Mayu's turn to open the memory scene again? Is this memory and feeling Mayu's monologue
He was somewhat expectant and somewhat worried.
What are the programs and feelings in the girl’s heart right now
What kind of future will their relationship lead to after meeting her this time
Stopping to think, he continued to look at the simulation interface.
