There is something wrong with my dating simulator

There is no doubt that choosing the other options would not bring happiness to the two sisters.

A future built on violence, threats, and plunder is a fortress built on sand.

It could collapse under the sun at any time.

[You choose to ask Juhua about her next plan]

......

You rang the doorbell outside the single apartment near the suburbs.

The environment here is not very good, with only two trams running back and forth every day. Places like this are often used as the main source of urban legends.

When he came, he even heard that someone had died in this small apartment before.

Because no one dared to rent the haunted house, the owner was forced to put it up for sale at a low price.

But in Tokyo, where every inch of land is valuable, being able to afford the down payment here is already the result of Touka's hard work.

Dozens of seconds later, a tired-looking woman with dark circles under her eyes appeared behind the door.

It's Touka Kotori.

"Why are you here? Did that man ask you to come and convince me?"

"How is that possible? The owner of the Italian restaurant seems to have had financial problems and has closed the store and returned home."

This matter actually has nothing to do with Lin Yuanshan.

His skills were not high enough to complete the difficult crime without leaving any clues in a foreign country within just a few weeks.

All I can say is that the owner had financial problems, and before running away he wanted to trick a Japanese woman into returning to her country.

It just didn't work.

"So what are you doing here?"

"Are you really not going to invite me in for a seat?"

When Touka heard this, she was stunned for a moment, but finally opened the door of the apartment.

It was empty inside except for a clothes hanger and a quilt.

All the valuable furniture had been mortgaged, otherwise it would have been difficult for Shihua to keep the house within the month.

Putting down the souvenir in his hand, Lin Yuanshan sat on the ground and stated his purpose:

"As Rikka's classmate, I wanted to come visit you and see if I can be of any help."

"I appreciate your kindness, go back, you are just a high school student."

What Touka said made sense. Reality was not a light novel, and as a high school student, there wasn't much he could really do.

Of course, if he started writing light novels now, he might be able to support the two sisters solely by the royalties.

But he knew that a woman like Touka Kotori would not accept such charity.

"Actually, the Italian restaurant can no longer operate. As the acting store manager, have you ever thought about taking over this store?"

Jukka gave a bitter smile upon hearing that.

"You make it sound so simple. The chefs and waiters in the store were basically brought in from Italy by the owner. Once they leave, the store will be just an empty shell. Besides, where will I get the money to pay the rent?"

"If you sell the house, you should be able to get one or two months' rent for the store, right?"

"Do you think I need to do such a crazy thing?"

"You will just be waiting to die if you continue like this. If you fail in the end, as your 'military advisor', I will cover for you."

"You're just a high school student."

“That’s right, but I didn’t tell you that I’m actually the illegitimate son of the Shinomiya family, a pure rich second generation, and I came to work in the store just to experience life.

If your investment fails, I will compensate you accordingly."

This statement is of course a lie, but Lin Yuanshan can make this money through light novels.

He had just seen the last name "Shinomiya" in the newspaper. He heard that it was the last name of a certain chaebol group.

However, his words made Touka Takanashi laugh:

"From now on, I'll leave everything up to you, Master Shigong."

Of course, she would not believe Lin Yuanshan’s lies. At this moment, she just inexplicably felt that this young man who was trying so hard to ask her not to give up was very interesting.

Because he rarely saw Shihua smile, Lin Yuanshan resisted the urge to take out his phone to take a picture and set it as wallpaper.

[Touka Kotori accepted your proposal]

[Three days later, she sold the haunted house and obtained the right to operate the Italian restaurant for three months]

[This time, she gambled everything she had]

Don't worry, you will never lose!

[You used a skill upgrade ticket! ]

[You have improved your cooking skills to level 3 (hotel chef level)]

When a skill reaches level 3, you can be called an expert and can live a good life with this skill.

[You applied for a one-year leave of absence from Aoyama High School]

[You joined Juhua's Italian restaurant and became the restaurant's front desk manager with a salary in the form of "month-end bonus"]

[At this time, there was only Juhua working in the kitchen, and the waiters at the front desk were just recruited student workers. Therefore, the workload for you and Juhua reached more than fifteen hours.]

[While you are busy, you also start to take charge of the kitchen work]

[Touka Takanashi discovered that you showed amazing cooking skills while helping in the kitchen]

[You also joined the restaurant kitchen work]

[You are in charge of both the front desk and the kitchen, and the restaurant staff treat you like a superman]

[Thanks to your cooking skills, the Italian restaurant business, which was not doing well at first, has gradually improved]

[Your skills --- cooking and smiling service proficiency have improved! ]

[By the end of the month, the restaurant was able to barely break even—under the premise of hiring temporary student workers]

[At the beginning of the next month, Touka Takanashi fell ill due to heavy workload]

[While taking care of her, you are also responsible for all the kitchen work and some of the front desk work in the restaurant]

[“Lin Yuanshan, you are not some kind of monster from an urban legend, are you…” You were a little speechless at the nonsense that Shihua said when she was sick. ]

[Touka Kotori's favorability towards you has increased! 】

[You have become Touka Kotori's best friend! ]

[Because of your cooking skills, the restaurant's reputation gradually spreads]

[An apprentice came to the restaurant on his own initiative and was willing to learn cooking skills at a low salary]

[Touka's workload is under control despite her illness]

[But you are still the "restaurant superman"]

[In the second month, the restaurant officially started to make a profit and was finally able to recruit full-time waiters]

[You are freed from the front desk and start to take full responsibility for the kitchen work]

[A restaurant heard about your monstrous performance and is willing to pay you several times the salary to poach you]

[You flatly rejected the high-paying job offer]

[A junior waiter was attracted to you at work and handed you a love letter, but you rejected it.]

[In the middle of the third month, you fainted while working in the kitchen]

[You fell ill because you were too tired]

[Finally, she discovered that you were not the descendant of the state banquet chef who came from a culinary family as you claimed, and came out to hone your skills to inherit the family business; nor were you the illegitimate child of the Shikō family.]

[You are not a superhero who never gets tired, never cries, never falls down, and is always omnipotent]

[Even when you were sick, no one in your family contacted you]

[You are just a high school student who has nothing but is willing to risk your life for her]

[Touka Kotori fell into self-blame]

[Touka Kotori's favorability towards you has increased! 】

[You have become the most important person to Touka Kotori! ]

Chapter 24 So, Touka Kotori fell in love with you

Such a warm touch in my memory seems to have only existed in my childhood.

It seemed like my mother was cleaning my ears, accompanied by a gentle lullaby.

I miss it so much, have I traveled through time again?

Lin Yuanshan opened his eyes and found himself lying on a chair in the hospital's infusion room.

As far as the eye can see, there is an unfamiliar ceiling and...a woman's face?

Could this angle be the legendary knee pillow?

He started to sit up, but was stopped by Touka.

"The doctor said you need to rest and don't move."

"Um, isn't this position a bit awkward?"

“The chairs here are too hard.”

For some reason, Shihua's attitude seemed a little tough, which reminded Lin Yuanshan of his family in his long-forgotten memories.

Compared to Izumi Sagiri in the previous simulation, Touka is actually the type who is very caring.

No, why should I compare with Izumi Sagiri?

Shihua is just the sister of the simulation object this time. Know your position clearly, Lin Yuanshan!

After finishing the drip in the infusion room, he tried to get up, but was stopped by Touka again.

"Come up."

"You carrying me...isn't that a bit bad?"

However, Shihua did not give him a chance to refuse and forcefully carried him on her back.

Shihua's mount is a motorcycle with a rather flamboyant appearance, which was originally mortgaged.

After the restaurant business picked up, Lin Yuanshan redeemed it as a celebration of the second month's profit.

[On the motorcycle, Touka Kotori is worried]

[You took the initiative to bring up the topic, trying to ease the awkwardness, but she asked about her family]

[Touka knows your background]

[Touka came to your home]

[Touka expressed dislike for the environment of the low-rent apartment]

[Touka Kotori invites you to live together]

"What? Living with you?"

"why not?"

There was no obvious expression on Juhua's face.

"As the most capable employee of our store, it's not a big deal to give you a staff dormitory, right?"

"But......"

"You don't think I have any intentions towards you, do you? I live with you just to take care of you and prevent you from getting sick again and affecting the restaurant's business.

You know, after you fell ill, everyone in the restaurant was in a panic and business was down a lot."

"Uh... okay, but where will Rikka stay when she comes?"
