Love Comes After Simulation

Chapter 95

[When Mayuri was in fourth grade, you and Yuko resigned from your government jobs and moved back to Misaki City. Mayuri transferred to the girls’ elementary school in Misaki.]

[After opening her heart, your daughter stuck to you and Yuko like glue, which started to annoy both of you.]

[You introduced her to Asano Nao and Chitose Kazumi, her two godmothers, who got along very well with Mayuri. Thus, every weekend, you would leave Mayuri with them.]

Looking at the simulation interface, Minami Yuuki couldn’t help but think, “Well, that’s ironic. Before, I was trying everything to get my daughter back, and now that she’s here, I’m annoyed by her.”

[You returned to Misaki City not only to let your daughter have the love of two mothers but also for Yuko. Living in Misaki City meant that Honoka could visit your home often.]

[You prepared for the civil service exam again and successfully became an education officer in Misaki City.]

[Your outstanding abilities, emotional intelligence, and appearance made you thrive in your role. You quickly gained the appreciation of your superiors and were given important responsibilities. Your path to promotion was smooth, and you began to get acquainted with politicians.]

[When you were 39, the influential Assemblyman Shimada in the education sector asked if you would divorce your current wife and marry his daughter. You refused. This refusal interrupted your promotion path in the education system.]

[That same year, Assemblyman Ichinose extended an olive branch, inviting you to become his aide and assist him.]

[You decisively resigned from the education system and joined the Ichinose family. There, you reconnected with the long-lost Ichinose Shiori. To your surprise, Ichinose Shiori had royal blood and was now the gatekeeper at Seikenji Temple.]

[Accompanied by the ancient temple, Ichinose Shiori briefly chatted about the past with you, and then you lost contact again.]

[At the Ichinose family, you learned many political techniques and uncovered many secrets. You quickly stood out among the many aides and became Assemblyman Ichinose’s right-hand man.]

[At the age of 47, Assemblyman Ichinose became the Vice Minister of General Affairs, and you became his secretary, getting your first close look at the center of Japanese politics.]

[Eight years later, Assemblyman Ichinose was promoted to Minister of General Affairs. With the support of the Ichinose family, you were elected as a member of the House of Representatives.]

[At 71, you became the Deputy Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology. After the Minister resigned due to a scandal, you were promoted to Minister, entering the cabinet.]

[With the support of the Ichinose faction, you significantly weakened the influence of Assemblyman Shimada, who had offended you in the past, within the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology.]

[At 85, after holding many key positions, you announced that you would no longer run for office and retired from politics.]

[Your political career could be described as a legend of a commoner rising to power. Your zero-scandal record became a benchmark for integrity, inspiring many young people.]

[You were not interested in external fame. In your retirement, you traveled around with Yuko. Due to your advanced age, you could no longer engage in strenuous activities, which left you with some regrets.]

[Your father passed away when you were 77, and your mother passed away a couple of years later. They lived longer because you, with your influence, provided them with top-notch medical care.]

[Honoka and Nakajima Yohei passed away one after the other when you were 68. They refused to spend their twilight years in the hospital.]

[Mayuri changed her nationality to a Nordic country at 53 and married Chitose Kazumi.]

“…?”

Minami Yuuki, peacefully watching the simulated life in his later years, was shocked by this explosive news!

What was going on with his daughter? How could she marry Chitose Kazumi!

That’s your dad’s friend!

And Chitose Kazumi, how could you go after your friend’s daughter!

Is this how you repay our years of friendship?

He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling conflicted.

Well, Mayuri and Kazumi are family, so keeping things within the family might be a good thing.

By the way, Miu was like this before, and it’s unclear about Rikka due to the simulation text not mentioning much. One daughter could be a coincidence, but now there’s another one, Mayuri… Is it in the bloodline?

Both Asano Nao and Ibuki Yuko have these hidden genes!

Who would’ve thought you were such women!

Minami Yuuki did not reflect on himself at all and continued to watch the simulation interface.

[They did not leave the Asano family after getting married and continued living with Asano Nao.]

[You are an open-minded person, and Yuko doesn’t care about societal norms. Neither of you interfered with your daughter’s life and wished them happiness.]

[Asano Nao passed away at 96, Chitose Kazumi at 97, Minami Yuko at 101, and you at 101.]

[Mayuri held funerals for all of you in succession. She wrote a memoir, recalling her life and remembering you.]

[Simulation Ended]

It’s over.

Minami Yuuki sighed and got up from the bed.

Outside the window, the twilight was magnificent. The evening sun, appearing wider than during the day, showed a corner of orange-red between two tall buildings, about to sink into the horizon.

[Summary of this Session]

[Score: 93]

[Life Stages: Pursuit Phase, Love Phase, Warmth Phase]

[Commentary: You untied her heart’s knots, allowing her to experience love through actions, and soothed her wounds with the return of love. You spent a fulfilling life together. Near your death, you had a slight regret of not being able to compete for the position of Prime Minister.]

[Reward: You received [Skill Point*1]]

Minami Yuuki clicked his tongue. The Prime Minister of Japan is often referred to as the Cabinet Prime Minister, and this time, he really had high aspirations.

Speaking of which, the last time he got 80 points, he was rewarded with a skill extraction opportunity.

Should he extract the political experience from this life?

This thought flashed through Minami Yuuki’s mind and disappeared.

He valued the free simulation opportunity, also an 80-point reward, more than the skill extraction opportunity.

Besides, there was also the 90-point reward.

He eagerly looked down, and sure enough, as long as he scored 90 points, he would get the dream movie.

[You completed a fulfilling life (score greater than or equal to 90)]

[You received [Skill Point*1]]

[You received a mysterious reward]

[Would you like to claim the mysterious reward?]

[Please note that the mysterious reward will activate in your dreams]

Minami Yuuki clicked no; it was almost dinner time, and he would claim it after eating.

As dusk fell, it was getting late. He swiped his finger to dismiss the simulator interface, but another popup appeared.

[Detected that you have completed two fulfilling lives, unlocking the peripheral exchange project]

Peripherals?

Minami Yuuki clicked in, revealing an interface similar to an electronic catalog.

[Yuko’s Photo (You can freely select a scene from your simulated life): 3 simulation attempts]

[Nao’s Photo (…): 3 simulation attempts]

[Miu’s Photo: 5 simulation attempts]

[Mayuri’s Photo: 5 simulation attempts]

[Rikka’s Photo: 5 simulation attempts]

[Group Photo: 50 simulation attempts]

Seeing these photos, Minami Yuuki’s first reaction was joy. Although he could see his wife and daughters in dream movies, having actual photos to touch and admire was more satisfying.

Then he noticed the prices marked after the photos.

Swindlers!
