There is something wrong with my dating simulator

【You went to school. 】

[When you return home at night, you find a pile of empty plates at the door of Izumi Sagiri's house. It seems that she did enjoy this breakfast, but you are not sure whether it was at noon or in the evening. In any case, it was not in the morning. ]

Why do I feel like a parent who has a NEET at home?

[Your skill --- cooking level 1 is now effective]

If I don’t know how to cook, there might be no follow-up.

[You found the key to Izumi Sagiri's house in the empty plate, and a note saying "Too bland"]

I clearly got the key prop, so why can't I be happy at all?

[The next day, you still prepared breakfast and lunch for Izumi Sagiri.]

[You placed breakfast and lunchbox at the door of Izumi Sagiri's bedroom. ]

[After school, you received a second note: "The hamburger meat tastes terrible."]

As a must-have dish for Japanese housewives, Lin Yuanshan doesn't know much about hamburger patties.

He is good at making Chinese stir-fry dishes.

[On the third day, you prepared "Mapo Tofu", which is quite popular in Japan, for Izumi Sagiri.]

[Izumi Sagiri's favorability towards you has increased]

[You received a note saying "I will eat this again tomorrow." ]

[It has become a regular thing for you to cook for Izumi Sagiri. 】

[Izumi Sagiri has become more dependent on you. 】

[Your skill --- cooking level 1 proficiency has been improved. ]

[On the fourth day, after school, you were at home when you suddenly heard violent stomping noises coming from the building next door.]

【You go to Izumi Sagiri's house to check. 】

[Izumi Sagiri is running out of painting materials, and needs your help to buy some. 】

[On the fifth day, you heard the stomping sound again at home after school.]

[Izumi Sagiri wants to drink a drink and needs your help to buy it. ]

[On the sixth day, at home after school, you heard the stomping sound again.]

[Magical Girl Merulu has revealed new peripherals, and we need your help to purchase them. 】

【Over time, you discovered a pattern in the stomping sounds. 】

[One stomp means you are hungry, two stomp means you need to buy painting materials, three stomp means you need to drink a beverage, four stomp means you need to buy anime peripherals, five stomp means the meal is not tasty, six stomp means you are in a bad mood...]

[You can communicate with Izumi Sagiri even without speaking]

Hey, this isn't something to celebrate!

Isn't this completely becoming a NEET?

Also, is the stomping sound so loud? Why can the neighbors hear it?

[Izumi Sagiri's favorability towards you has greatly increased! 】

[You have become an indispensable family member of Izumi Sagiri! ]

Chapter 10 Saving the Out-of-School Children Izumi Sagiri

[Izumi Sagiri's stomping was too loud and she was complained by her neighbors. 】

You apologized to your neighbor.

[In your description, Izumi Sagiri became a mentally ill girl with mania, and you were her distant cousin who depended on her for survival.]

【You have gained the sympathy of your neighbors.】

[You have acquired the skill---telling lies level 1]

Should we be happy here?

Why can't I be happy at all...

[You went to the shopping street]

[You are bargaining with the auntie selling Yanjing roast duck...]

......

"Xiao Lin, are you here to buy roast duck again?"

"Yes, Aunt Li, give me half a piece, not too oily."

Yanjing Roast Duck, an internationally renowned dish, is also very popular in Neon.

The person selling Yanjing Roast Duck in the shopping street is Aunt Li, who came here to start a business. I heard that she has been selling roast duck here for more than ten years.

Because her roast duck tastes authentic and she is a very approachable person, her business has always been good.

Having said that, anyone who can gain a foothold in a foreign country is naturally not an ordinary person.

Aunt Li's Neon language has a boldness that is unique to northerners, but Lin Yuanshan of course communicates with her in Chinese.

"Is your little Sagiri in good health recently?"

"Eh? Aunt Li, do you know her?"

"Of course I don't know him. His father came to my place to buy roast duck a few times before, but he had an accident later. That child is really pitiful. He lost his parents at such a young age..."

Is this aunt a spy? How come she is so well-informed?

"Why are you looking at me in such surprise? I've been selling roast duck here for more than ten years. When customers come to buy things from me, they just chat for a few minutes, so they know everything, right?"

Well, Lin Yuanshan finally ruled out the suspicion that this aunt was an alien.

"I also know that you are a distant relative of Sagiri-chan, right? It turns out that her relatives are abroad. No wonder her parents were nowhere to be seen when they had an accident. So she and I are half-fellow villagers."

"Aunt Li, what happened to her parents?"

Unexpectedly, there was a key plot NPC in the shopping street. Lin Yuanshan naturally would not miss this opportunity.

"You didn't know? That's right, you were far away at the time, so you probably only knew roughly. Xiaoshagiri's mother died of illness very early, and his father remarried later, but unfortunately had a car accident on his honeymoon. So... you should be Xiaoshagiri's biological mother's family, right?"

In a short while, Aunt Li had already arranged Lin Yuanshan's identity.

Having said that, it’s no wonder that Sagiri Izumi has developed this kind of personality after experiencing such misfortune.

"Here, I packed a whole roast duck for you. Just pay me for half of it, and the remaining half will be a bonus."

At this point, Aunt Li was clearly speaking Chinese, but she said in a lower voice:

"Don't tell anyone about giving you half a roast duck, or it will be hard for me to do business."

[You have acquired the skill---Bargaining level 1]

[Thank you Aunt Li, you are back home]

[There's a familiar stomping sound coming from next door. Judging from the frequency, it should be because they're hungry.]

[After delivering dinner, you returned home and fell into deep thought]

[After learning about Izumi Sagiri's family situation, you decided---]

[1. Help Izumi Sagiri untie her knot]

2. Leave it alone

[3. Pretend to be a distant relative of Izumi Sagiri]

[4. Find an opportunity to verify with Izumi Sagiri]

In theory, you should choose 1 or 4.

But some things cannot be solved easily.

The pain that fate leaves in people can only be healed by time, and the help from others is minimal.

If I run over to comfort Sagiri Izumi now, will she become cheerful again?

【You choose not to comfort Izumi Sagiri for the time being. 】

But it doesn't seem right to just let her become a NEET. At least she should have some contact with the outside world, right?

Don't force her to study for a whole semester, but at least ask her to show up at school occasionally.

[You decided to find a way to get Izumi Sagiri to go to school, so you prepared---]

[1. Using food as a threat to force Izumi Sagiri to go to school]

[2. Threatening to reveal her identity, forcibly dragging Izumi Sagiri to school]

[3. Gather classmates and loudly invite them at the door of Izumi Sagiri's house, and impress Izumi Sagiri with your sincerity]

[4. Seek external assistance and take a long-term view]

My goodness, this option 3 is pushing people into a desperate situation!

Options 1 and 2 leave no room for choice at all.

Then natural selection 4.

......

Family restaurant.

The scene of the "Izumi-san's return to school campaign" meeting.

"I understand the reason, but who is this guy? Why is he sitting here?"

Yamada Fairy looked at the strange girl with round-frame glasses and said warily.

Pigtails and round-frame glasses are far from the image of a "cat", but they somehow remind people of this creature.

The girl in front of me is named Hanekawa Tsubasa.

"I'm Hanekawa Tsubasa, the class monitor of Izumi-san's class. Hello."

Because Yamada the Fairy was too unreliable, Lin Yuanshan also invited the squad leader to help.

I had originally planned to call Nagato Yuki, but considering the difficult Asakura Ryoko next to her,

He finally gave up the idea.

"According to Lin, Izumi is reluctant to come to school because of a trauma in her childhood. If we let her feel the warmth and kindness of others, perhaps we can change her mind."

As Hanekawa Tsubasa said this, he took out a banner with the words "Come to school, Izumi-san!" written on it in large letters.

When Lin Yuanshan saw the calligraphy, he already had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, she continued:

"We can gather our classmates..."

"Okay, no more words, this proposal is rejected!"

"Eh?"

Hanekawa Tsubasa looked a little surprised.

This made Yamada the Fairy dissatisfied:

"You did this on purpose! Who would dare to come to school if this happened?"

Upon hearing this, Hanekawa Tsubasa spread his hands:

"Then what good ideas does Yamada-san have?"

"It's simple. As long as I join Qingshan Middle School, I'll have a role model..."

"Yamada-san seems to have an excessive amount of self-awareness. Why would Izumi-san come to school just for someone she doesn't even know?"

"What are you talking about, you cat-faced weirdo!"
