After the school bell rang, Chishou Kazumi quickly packed her schoolbag. She stood up, turned to look at Minami Yuxi, and wanted to leave with him.
"Imi, go first. I have to go to the club." Minami Yuxi waved to her, picked up her schoolbag, and followed Ichinose Shiori who was leaving.
"See you tomorrow." Chishou Kazumi raised her hand, waved towards Minami Yuxi's back, and then put it down disappointedly.
Yes, Nanjun said that his homeroom teacher forced him to join the club. From today on, will he participate in club activities
In other words, from today on, she can no longer go with Nan Youxi.
She lowered her head.
…
"Ichinose, what do those people who are tired of the world think?"
Minami Yuki followed Ichinose Shiori to the activity room of the Homecoming Club and sat down and asked this question.
In the Sims, Ichinose Shiori, who took over Yuko Ibuki, complained to him many times. Now, it is his turn to talk to Ichinose Shiori.
"Tired of the world?" Ichinose Shiori looked away from her notebook and looked at Minami Yuuki, "What do you mean by tired? No longer nostalgic? Or do you hate it?"
Minami Yuuki thought about Ibuki Yuko's symptoms and answered, "It should be that they no longer linger. When they see a truck coming, they will choose to stay where they are, but they will not take the initiative to run in front of a speeding truck."
"Anything else to add?"
"She lacks expression every day. She does whatever her mother asks her to do and has no opinions of her own."
"anything else?"
"My parents divorced very early. My mother was a passionate and dissolute person. She was very gentle to men but very harsh to her daughter."
"It's so detailed that it looks like a real person." Ichinose Shiori put the notebook on her lap aside, revealing her white knees that were previously covered. She was wearing black stockings, and only the knees were exposed.
"Ichinose is right to think so." Minami Yuki gave an affirmative answer.
His frankness made Ichinose Shiori frown.
She asked, "Is this okay? With this information, it's enough for me to find out who it is. Being tired of the world is not a secret that can be easily exposed, right?"
"It doesn't matter, I believe in Ichinose." said Minami Yuki.
Ichinose Shiori looked at the boy's face carefully. When she said this, there was no emotion on the boy's handsome face. Either this matter was unimportant, or the boy really trusted her very much.
She felt it was the latter. She was confused by this unexplained trust.
"Have we met before?" She couldn't help but wonder.
"This is the part that Ichinose needs to investigate on his own." Minami Yuuki crossed her legs. "Now, let's talk about Ichinose's opinion on such a person. I'll also add that the other party is a sophomore in high school."
Is it a world-weary thought? Shiori Ichinose has never thought about this question. She pondered for a while and gave her own answer:
"Because of the heavy workload of studying, working part-time or participating in club activities, she has no energy or time to enjoy the fun of life. To her, life is just busy and boring, so she feels bored."
After a pause, she continued, "Or maybe she herself is not caught up in boring busyness, but because of her own emotional defects, she cannot actively pursue happiness, and no one pulls her to experience it, so she feels that life is boring."
"Or," Ichinose Shiori looked at Minami Yuuki, "you take something too seriously, and when you encounter an irreparable failure in that thing, you think your whole life is bleak, and thus lose the faith to live."
"As expected of Ichinose, these three guesses all really inspired me." Minami Yuxi touched her chin.
"There is another possibility." Ichinose Shiori brushed her bangs, looking somewhat pleased with herself. "The above speculation is based on the assumption that your information is accurate. However, is the information you see truly true and unbiased?"
"In a mystery novel, this is a narrative trick."
"So, which type do you think she is?"
"Who knows? I'll try it when I get home."
"If it was Ichinose, how would she help the other person?" Minami Yuxi asked again.
"I won't interfere."
Minami Yuki was surprised by what Shiori Ichinose said.
"Why?" he demanded.
Clearly in The Sims, Shiori Ichinose took away the right to treat Yuko Ibuki from him.
"From your description, I can tell that this guy is very troublesome. I hate things that I'm not sure of. If it's something simple and easy to solve, I don't mind lending a hand."
So that's how it is. If you think about it carefully, in The Sims, Ichinose Shiori thought that Ibuki Yuko was being coerced by him, so she intervened.
When Shiori Ichinose realized that Yuko Ibuki's troubles had been blamed on her by Yuki Minami, she couldn't bear to abandon Yuko Ibuki and had to take over.
The things she always complained to Minami Yuxi also had another explanation. She thought it was a problem that could be solved in a few minutes, but it turned out to be a stubborn disease that could not be cured even after spending a lot of time.
"What if Ichinose has been involved?" Minami Yuki continued to ask.
"That's impossible." Ichinose Shiori said arrogantly.
Nan Youxi thought to herself, in the Sims, not only did you foolishly take over the task, but you were also exhausted. After Ibuki Yuko died unexpectedly, you even cried loudly in my house!
"What are you laughing at?" Ichinose Shiori keenly observed Minami Yuki's expression.
"Nothing, thank you for your answer." Nan Youxi stood up.
It’s time to go home and do the simulation.
With the information we now have, we can take a completely different path from the previous simulation.
"By the way, are there any other members in this club?" he asked casually.
"There is also second-year senior Ibuki and third-year senior Momiji." Ichinose Shiori answered.
Senior Ibuki? Yuko Ibuki? Minami Yuki was surprised. No wonder Ichinose Shiori discovered Yuko Ibuki's abnormality so quickly in The Sims. It turned out that they were in the same club, although it seemed that Yuko Ibuki was a ghost member.
This is such a pleasant surprise.
After saying goodbye to Ichinose Shiori, Minami Yuki returned home. There was still some time before dinner, so he decided to use the remaining simulation times first.
[Dating Simulator]
[Bound player: Nan Youxi]
[Number of simulations remaining: 1]
[Possible objects to simulate: Minami Ruri, Minami Kokoa, Minami Kobato, Asano Nao, Ibuki Yuko]
Shiori Ichinose does not appear in the list of simulatable objects. Is it because the relationship is not strong enough? Or is she not a simulatable object
Without dwelling on this question, he clicked on Ibuki Yuko.
[[Ibuki Yuko] has been selected. Do you want to start the simulation? ]
yes.
