[Talent selection completed]

[Goal for clearing Chapter 1: Find the turning point in Ichinose Honami's life and correct it]

"Oh, that's interesting."

In a somewhat dim room, the boy touched the [Start] button with his finger.

The sixteen-year-old Liang yawned softly. His mother divorced his father and ran away when he was twelve years old. His father also abandoned him two years later. Since then, he has erased his original surname. , leaving only a single word, and barely starving himself to death by writing online articles, he has also recently become obsessed with the series of games called Life Again Simulator.

Reality version, fairy version, magic version, different world version...

He has tried all kinds of life-restart simulators without exception. On the one hand, he really likes this kind of random word game, but on the other hand, he really hopes that One day he can start his life over again.

"It feels like this version of the life restart simulator is more like a puzzle solving and love development game."

"In this case..."

[Simulation starts]

As the background music changes, the page on the screen also begins to generate text descriptions in real time.

[Day 1: It's July 9th. It's the hottest summer in Tokyo in early July. You stand at a street intersection and follow the directions of the mobile phone map navigation to the property location. Everything here makes you feel novel. What can you do during the summer vacation? Seeing many pairs of peers dating on the street, advertisements scrolling on the large screens installed on the outer walls of the surrounding buildings, the white cat on your shoulder patted your cheek with its flesh pad to signal you. The light is now green to pass. ]

"Ah, I really want to raise a cat, although I can hardly support myself now..."

[You have forgotten about your past. At the age of sixteen, you came to Tokyo just to inherit the family inheritance, an eighty-square-meter property, and at the same time, you still have money in your bank card. Five million yen, these two things will be the only things you rely on to survive in this international city. ]

[Your property is located on the third floor of an apartment. When you arrived, the moving company was already waiting downstairs in advance. Because it was noon and worried about disturbing the neighbors, and also out of the intention of visiting in advance, you knocked on the door of the neighbor. door. ]

[A girl who looks about the same age as you opens the door. During the self-introduction, you learn that her name is Honami Ichinose. She is now in the third grade of junior high school. Because her mother goes out to work, she is the only one at home. You are at home with your sister, and you understand what the other person means, and ask her to wait until you have packed up your things in the evening before you come to visit with a souvenir. ]

[You are deeply impressed by Ichinose Honami's elegant and generous posture. At the same time, you also notice your sister behind her, who is about two years younger than her. She is very interested in your cat. She keeps staring at it and seems to want to touch it. the meaning of. ]

[The talent 'Affinity' took effect. Encouraged by your gaze, a first-year junior high school girl named Ichinose Maki successfully got a white cat. After a while, they started playing happily. You noticed that Ichinose Hon Bo's attitude towards you became closer. ]

[During the move, which lasted for about half an hour, you chatted with Ichinose Honami. What surprised you was that the other person was obviously one year younger than you, but he had an unimaginable affinity and kindness in using words, making sentences, and dealing with people. Tolerant, taking the initiative to control the rhythm of the conversation even when you are not good at words, but not making you feel embarrassed. You recognized the excellence of the other person, and also learned that Honami Ichinose is serving as the student council president of your school. One position. ]

[That night, as a newly moved neighbor, you went to visit the Ichinose family with souvenirs. Ichinose's mother looked older than her age. You noticed that Ichinose's family conditions were not It's particularly good that your relationship with the Ichinose family has improved from strangers to acquaintances. ]

"Do you happen to be a neighbor?"

"I just don't know if this is a start brought about by the talent of a small asset, or if it is a fixed start that will definitely land in front of the mission goal."

"Let's write it down first."

Since he had decided to clear this game from the beginning, Ryo also prepared pen and paper and memorized key information while reading the text.

[The second day: Your white cat woke you up. After washing, you realized that you had not given this master a name. After a brief thought, you named her after her fluorite-like eyes. 'Ying', after breakfast, you gave Ying a bath. The cat was soft and comfortable to touch. You enjoyed the joy of petting the cat, which added to your happiness. ]

"Hey, can you go out and get some information?"

There is nothing to record in the description of the second day. Liang quietly complained about the progress of the game while fast forwarding to the next day.

[Day 3: You are addicted to playing with cats. ]

[Day 4: You are addicted to playing with cats. ]

Another brief description for two days in a row. If it weren't for the fact that the talent of the Shit Scooping Officer didn't indicate that it was just a cat, Ryo would probably have thought that the protagonist in the game was charmed by a cat lady or something like that.

"Move, Hun Dan."

[Day 5: You realize that you can't stay at home all the time, so you decide to take the cat out for a walk. ]

[You met Ichinose Maki by chance. Although she seemed to have forgotten your name in embarrassment, she was deeply impressed by your cat, and you were forced to accept the strange title of 'cat-raising brother'. ]

[During the chat with Ichinose Maki, she accidentally mentioned that she also wanted to raise a cat before, but because the situation at home was not suitable for raising a cat, she had to give up with regret. Her current wish is to have a cat. A certain style of hairpin that was popular last year. ]

[The talent 'Silent' takes effect, and you realize that this is crucial information, but due to your inability to speak well, you give up and continue to ask. ]

"It's okay to test the water for the first time. At least we got a piece of information."

"Judging from the description in the text, the hairpin should be an important item."

[Day 6: You read the following news on the TV:]

["In response to the recent frequent incidents of school violence, some experts pointed out that the junior high school period is a sensitive physiological and psychological period for teenagers. Relevant education personnel and parents of students must coordinate home and school to jointly pay attention to the psychological problems of teenagers."

"Tokyo High School was questioned for occupying too many public resources, and the school held a press conference yesterday to respond."

"The annual fireworks display will be held at the end of this month."]

[You felt bored, so you continued to pet the cat. ]

"Introduction to the background of the game world or something like that?"

[Day 7: You met Ichinose's mother when you went out at night and said hello in a friendly manner. Because it was a little late, you asked the other party's whereabouts out of curiosity. ]

[The talent 'Affinity' takes effect, and the other party thinks you have no ill intentions, so he tells you that you have been a little busy at work recently and will work more overtime at night. You nod and tell the other party to pay more attention to your health. ]

"So, what is it like to be both friendly and taciturn... Are you honest?"

The bad habit of talking to oneself was left over from the past, and he was once disliked by the people next to him for complaining in a low voice while watching a movie. Liang turned the pen in his hand, and he was the only one at home now anyway.

[Day 8: When doing the troublesome garbage sorting, I got help from Honami Ichinose who happened to be out. She patiently taught you some relevant tips and told you about your sister's obsession with playing with cats during this period. Expressed gratitude to you. ]

"Let's talk, let's talk quickly!"

After several days, Liang suddenly became serious when he saw the mission target appear in the description again.

[Ichinose Honami asked about your school out of curiosity. Due to the lack of memory about the past, you scratched your head in embarrassment and said that you are just an unemployed vagrant now, looking for a job. I don't know why, you think Ichinose Fanbo actually showed a little bit of envy. ]

"Are good students envious of not having to go to class?"

There is not much description about Ichinose Honami, so Ryo can only use the few paragraphs to piece together the image of this character.

[Day 9: You bumped into Honami Ichinose while wandering the street. She was purchasing ingredients in a department store. You felt that her figure picking vegetables in front of the shelves was very feminine, and your heartbeat index increased. . ]

"That's easy to settle. I remember I don't have such a strange talent either."

[During the conversation with Ichinose Honami, you learned that tomorrow is Ichinose Maki's birthday. You expressed your wish to give a gift but was politely rejected by the other party. You noticed that Ichinose Honami has been a little nervous recently. Paranoid. ]

"July 9th plus nine, July 18th, right?"

[Day 10: While you were giving Hotaru a bath today, you noticed that a quarrel seemed to have broken out at the Ichinose house next door. After leaving Hotaru, who was still covered in foam and confused, you opened the door and wanted to go out. Take a look at the situation. ]

[As expected, the sound came from the Ichinose family across the door. You thought about your current relationship with the Ichinose family. You did not choose to knock on the door. You planned to ask again when you have time in two days. ]

"This should be an important selection point. The judging criterion is the relationship between 'I' and the Ichinose family. In the previous article, 'I' only know their family, so it will be judged as a failure at this critical node on the tenth day... "

"This simulation should be over. Let's see if we can give you two more pieces of useful information."

Thoughts were swirling in his mind. As a game veteran, Liang basically sentenced this simulation to death.

[Day 11: When you went out to walk the cat, you met Ichinose Honami who was in a hurry to go out. You asked her tactfully about what happened yesterday. After realizing that the other party did not want to talk, you withdrew the topic. Ichinose Honami asked you to take care of her sister in the past two days, because her mother was admitted to the hospital due to overwork from work, and she might not have time to take care of Ichinose Maki. You sensed that there might be a hidden meaning, but you, being taciturn, did not continue. Asked further, he just nodded in agreement. ]

"The quarrel has entered the hospital. There must have been some conflict in the Ichinose family..."

[Day 12: Maki Ichinose has been playing with cats in your home all day today. In order to reassure Ichinose's family, you opened the door to your home openly. After you and Maki Ichinose complained about your mother, , although you don't know what happened, you still comforted her mother, who also has difficulties as a mother, but you didn't expect that Ichinose Maki also said that she also had her own difficulties. When the other party was halfway venting her emotions, Ichinose Honami happened to When she came back, she took her somewhat angry sister home and apologized to you. You noticed that she was in a trance and reminded her to take a rest. ]

"This should be the second time that Ichinose Honami's mental state has been mentioned. The last time was on the ninth day, that is, before my sister's birthday. Then the quarrel broke out on my sister's birthday, and it was also the day when my mother was admitted to the hospital... "

[Day 13: After sleeping until noon, you yawned and noticed that the sun was very bright today, so you were about to take out the quilt to bask in the sun. You happened to see Izuku jumping outside on the balcony. Maki Sese, you asked her where she was going, and she replied that she was going to the hospital to visit her mother. ]

[You feel a little strange, because yesterday the other party was very angry and accused your mother, but today you can go to visit with a smile on your face. Although the child's emotions come and go quickly, you feel a little abnormal. . ]

[You knocked on the door of Ichinose's house to see if Ichinose Honami was at home, but no one answered. ]

[It wasn't until three hours later that you were surprised to hear a certain solid fact. ]

[The mission failed, your Sims life is over. ]

[This simulation lasts for thirteen days. You can choose a talent to keep. This talent will be automatically used in the subsequent simulation. ]

Ichinose Honami's Summer Reappearance: Chapter 2: The Guilty (Part 1)

Ichinose Honami never mentioned her father to anyone, as if this man had never existed in her life, leaving no trace at all.

She is not ashamed or unwilling to live in a single-parent family. For most of her past life, she just followed her mother's wishes to become a frank and sincere person.

Since her mother did not want to get too involved in this topic, Ichinose Honami would naturally regard these topics related to her father as corpses thrown aside. She buried them with her own hands and walked towards him. forward.
