[You notice that the relationship between Ryo and Kita has become noticeably closer.]
Nijika looks at the information given by the simulator, feeling confused.
When everyone is already such close friends, how did they manage to become even closer?
Come to think of it.
In one of the simulations before.
Kita chan seemed to have become Toru-kun's lover?
Recalling that simulation where Kita's yandere attributes were completely maxed out, Nijika was actually a little worried.
Forget it, closer is closer.
Nijika thinks that this simulation is following a career route, so romance can be set aside for now.
…Bocchi-chan is preparing to steal the house, Ryo is trying to stop Toru from opening a harem, and Kita-chan is helping Toru open a harem.
There is no way Nijika could possibly be aware of all these complicated relationships.
[Fourth year of university.]
[There is no sign of Kessoku Band slowing down its rise. Like a wildfire burning through a mountain, the flames spread everywhere, growing more intense by the day.]
[Toru carves out his own territory in the business world, and the attention Japan's powerful elites pay to him continues to increase.]
[One time, while accompanying him for drinks, you accidentally hear that Toru plans to abandon business and enter politics, relying on his massive influence to step into the political arena and become prime minister.]
[Unfortunately, this grand ambition is mercilessly shattered by Ryo. According to her estimation, for Toru to reach that position, it would take at least thirty years.]
…Can an ordinary person really become prime minister?
Nijika mutters to herself.
Toru has no political background. Even if he struggles for decades, there is no guarantee it would amount to anything.
Unless.
He uses his looks and talent to become the son in law of a major political figure.
Nijika seems to understand why Ryo wants to stop him.
As the saying goes, good things should stay within the family.
Compared to Toru marrying into some wealthy household and taking a rich heiress as his wife.
Internal resolution is obviously better.
[In addition, you notice that the relationship between Toru and your sister has become ambiguous.]
Nijika: …?
[Because the house is too small, at night you often run into scenes of the two of them hugging and chatting.]
Why are you two getting mixed up again?
Your sister is almost thirty five, right? Is this really okay?
[The only thing that makes you feel relieved is that they are only hugging and not doing anything lewd.]
Thank goodness.
No.
This is not good at all.
An aunt and her nephew hugging each other is way too strange.
[After a month passes, you finally reach your limit.]
[In order to prevent Toru and your sister from doing something improper, you decide to sleep together with them.]
Nijika: "O△O"
It is over.
The other me just delivered herself to the door.
If Toru-kun's beastly instincts flare up, no one will be able to escape. They will definitely be stacked one above the other doing embarrassing things…
Although the probability of that happening is very small.
[You deliberately purchase a three person bed and place it in the master bedroom.]
[Usually, he sleeps in the middle, while you and your sister sleep on either side, holding onto his arms.]
…This feels weird.
No matter how you think about it, this method is strange.
And after falling asleep, who knows whether your sister and Toru-kun secretly do something lewd…
[In fact.]
[This time, Toru is somewhat wronged.]
[The whispered conversations between him and Seika are all about plans for the band's future.]
Really?
I do not believe it.
[…Alright.]
[They did kiss quite a few times while hugging, even to the point of kissing until their lips went numb several times.]
[But that is not the key point.]
[The key point is that because the members of Kessoku Band have not deeply entered society yet, there are some things Toru does not dare to say outright, fearing that it would shatter the beautiful dreamscape in your hearts.]
[Only someone like Seika, or Hiroi Kikuri, who has struggled in society for many years, can become an outlet for Toru to confide in.]
A beautiful dreamscape?
Wait, Toru-kun, what exactly did you do?
[Over these years, in order to help you become famous, he has secretly done countless bad things.]
[Hiring paid posters to stir up hype and digging up dirt are everyday occurrences for him. He has also done plenty of even more despicable things.]
That is all?
This level of marketing is something even outsiders know about. There is nothing to be afraid of, right?
[Actually, even if he does not say it, you have already had some suspicions. After all, the situation where certain events just happened to be missing one guest, allowing Kessoku Band to take their place, has repeated more than a dozen times.]
[Even the rather slow witted Hitori is about to realize it.]
[Toru must have conducted some dirty under the table transactions behind the scenes.]
[Time flows onward.]
[After graduating from university.]
[That summer, Kessoku Band participates in Fuji Rock. This is your first time attending a large scale music festival, and one of the most prestigious kinds at that.]
[In August, at the foot of Mount Fuji, even more intense than the scorching weather are the cheers of the audience.]
[You personally feel the passion of the crowd, as if all the effort of the past few years has finally gained meaning.]
[During the festival, Toru does not stay by your side the entire time.]
[As your manager, Toru has to handle far more complex matters than you do. On top of that, the several companies he runs require management, making the situation even worse.]
[He lives like an indispensable bearing inside a precise machine, operating day and night.]
[You cannot help but wonder whether Toru will eventually exhaust himself if this continues.]
[Unfortunately, no matter how you try to persuade him, Toru is unwilling to stop.]
[What exactly is he pursuing? Fame and status, or money?]
[Based on your understanding of him, Toru does not seem like someone who would care about those things.]
[Precisely because of that, you feel confused.]
[As the band's manager, he is undoubtedly qualified.]
[There is clearly no need for him to do these extra things.]
[The following year.]
[You step onto the stage of Rock in Japan. As prominent figures in the current j rock scene, the organizers cannot ignore you.]
[A summer outdoor stage, a seaside park with beautiful scenery.]
[Under the blazing sun, you wave the drumsticks in your hands. Beneath the stage, the audience wears all kinds of Kessoku Band merchandise, dancing, shouting, and sweating in rhythm with your beats.]
[In a daze, you see your younger self before your eyes. Back then, you set a goal to form a rock band and make it into stars scattered across the night sky.]
[Your dream has been fulfilled.]
[After the lively summer passes.]
[In autumn, Kessoku Band slows its pace.]
[During this period, you feel lost.]
[You do not know what you should continue to chase. Everyone has long since completed the once vague and illusory dream.]
[The next goal might be some large overseas music festivals?]
[This year, you have just turned twenty four, with a boundless future ahead.]
