Chapter 84: Asano Nao Takes Action.

[Unlike Ibuki Yuko, Asano Nao, the socially anxious older sister, tends to hide her feelings, burying her anxiety and pain inside, enduring it silently. On the other hand, Ibuki Yuko is much more proactive.]

[When Ibuki Yuko feels stressed, she will tug at your arm, kiss your lips, lift your clothes, and tap on you with her little hands, drawing your attention back to her. As long as her figure is at the center of your gaze, she can feel at ease.]

[You try to ignore her, not turning your eyes to her for a long time. After several unsuccessful attempts to tease you, she will put away her little tricks and quietly follow behind you. Her expression reminds you of the first time you met her.]

[At this moment, you choose...]

[1. "Apologize to Yuko-mama immediately!"]

[2. "This is necessary education!"]

[3. "This kind of Yuko is also very cute."]

[4. Free simulation]

Options?

Minami Yuuki was surprised.

He thought he had already reached the conclusion, but it turns out there is still room for adjustment.

However, at this point, any adjustment would likely be minor.

He reviewed the options and the scenario again, interpreting their meanings.

Option 1: Give up deliberately neglecting Yuko;

Option 2: Continue with the intention of education;

Option 3: Continue because the dejected Yuko is cute.

First, he ruled out option 3.

The remaining options were 1 and 2.

Minami Yuuki thought, Ibuki Yuko's problem is overdependence, manifesting in life as a strong possessiveness.

Whenever he looks at someone else, the girl would cling to him, making him look back at her. This is undoubtedly not a healthy romantic relationship.

The reason for this unhealthy behavior is clear—it's due to the departure of Ibuki Honoka.

Ibuki Yuko started changing from that day.

The girl, who used to rely on her mother, began to cling tightly to him, fearing he would also suddenly disappear one day.

Returning to the options, option 1 means giving up the treatment, while option 2 is about actively correcting the behavior.

Minami Yuuki chose option 1.

Although actively correcting the behavior seems like the right choice, some problems cannot be solved just by active handling.

On the contrary, sudden intervention might make the problem worse. It's like a bent iron ruler; if you try to straighten it recklessly, it will only snap with a crack.

There are hints in the simulation text as well.

Minami Yuuki looked at the line above the options.

"Her expression reminds you of the first time you met her."

When they first met, Ibuki Yuko was a world-weary girl who wouldn't dodge even if she saw a truck.

If he ignores the girl, making her feel the absence of their strong bond of love, she will slowly retreat and build a strong fortress in her heart.

If the love given is neglected, it will be left in the wilderness. If the expectations in her heart remain unanswered for a long time, she will dismantle the lighthouse of anticipation.

Disappointment leads to withering, and she will uproot all the plants. The discomfort of scorching heat and freezing cold will make her remove the changes of the seasons. As long as her inner world is barren, she will be impervious to knives, guns, water, and fire.

Minami Yuuki had previously wondered how such a girl, who could act so coquettishly and proactively, could become so world-weary.

Now he understood completely. The girl must have tasted the bitterness of love from her mother and decided to abandon everything, becoming an unconscious puppet.

Having undergone such a mental cleanse once, the girl who finally managed to revive must have a fragile heart. She is a well-behaved child, and her demands are surely due to a lack. If this love is not given to her, a huge void will certainly appear in her heart.

The simulation had already started to cross time, indicating it was nearing its end. At this point, no matter what he did, it was too late. It would be more prudent to do nothing.

After clicking on option one, Minami Yuuki didn't continue reading.

The simulation text stopped as he shifted his attention away. He stood up and headed to the Asano household.

His phone had been vibrating for the past five minutes; an alarm he had set to remind him it was time to go to the Asano household for dinner.

The sky had darkened.

At the entrance of the apartment, Ibuki Honoka returned with a bag of snacks for drinking.

She brushed past Minami Yuuki and, from a corner where the boy couldn't see her, turned and watched him for a long time.

Asano Nao was sitting on the sofa, already a little anxious from waiting.

Although it wasn't yet the appointed time, Minami Yuuki usually arrived much earlier.

Finally, she heard the doorbell ring.

She let out a sigh of relief, quickly walked to the entrance, checked through the peephole, and opened the door.

"Good evening, sister," Minami Yuuki said as he took off his shoes and put on the slippers Asano Nao had placed by his feet.

Asano Nao's attire was somewhat different today. She had removed her thick glasses, revealing her delicate face. The plain sportswear was gone, replaced by a black, straight-cut nightgown.

The nightgown was loose, covering her body's curves but not hiding the impressive height of her chest. As she walked, the hem of the nightgown flipped up, revealing her black-stockinged calves.

"Sister, you look hot today," Minami Yuuki said, giving a thumbs up.

Asano Nao immediately blushed, forgetting how to walk, her steps becoming disordered.

She shyly thought, has Yuuki-kun felt my charm?

The VR experience at the Dream Theater had restored her confidence because, in that memory, Minami Yuuki was very infatuated with her body, especially those two things that used to trouble her during gym class.

So, she decided to use this future knowledge to take the initiative!

The method of attack was simple since she couldn't think of anything complicated. She pulled out her mother's nightgown, put on contact lenses, and resolved to seduce the boy!

In the dream, Yuuki-kun was a very responsible person. As long as she tempted him into touching her and doing some blush-inducing things, he would certainly become close to her, leading to a romantic and eventually a marital relationship!

Then, she could have a dreamlike beautiful future!

Miu and Rikka could also be met again!

She stole a glance at the boy.

Was he moved? Restless? Ready to make a move?

She was disappointed.

The boy finished dinner normally, lay on the sofa to rest, and apart from looking at her for a long time at the beginning, he didn't cast another glance her way.

Did I fail?

She wavered again, wondering if that dream was truly a scene from the future.

The movie scenes in the dream were heavily edited, but the VR experience was very detailed. She blushed as she recalled the scenes in the bedroom.

In the VR, under Yuuki-kun's right shoulder blade, there was a shallow gray mole. If the dream was real, then there would also be a gray dot on the real Yuuki-kun's back.

But how could she see Yuuki-kun's back? Asano Nao fell into new troubles.

At this moment, Minami Yuuki had already found a comfortable position on the sofa.

Using a pillow to support his head, he continued to look at the simulation screen.

As expected, that was the last option just now. His simulated life with Ibuki Yuko was moving forward quickly.
