Chapter 294: Life with Your Nine Wives and Daughter 

"Nine…?"

"Nine wives, all married…?"

Minami stared at the words on the screen.

Just reading them made him feel a dull ache in his lower back.

This number… wasn't it a bit too absurd?

Sure, he had expected this day to come eventually. That's why he had been training his body all this time.

But still…

"No amount of training could possibly prepare me for this… right?"

Minami couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

Even if it was ...

Chapter 293: Nine Wives, A Sleepless Night Ahead 

[The announcement of your engagement sent shockwaves through your fanbase.]

[Your fans were outraged—claiming that 'Sugar,' a completely unknown, bottom-tier writer, wasn't worthy of the already famous author 'Nami.']

[Meanwhile, her fans insisted that Minami was the one unworthy of their beloved writer.]

[Chaos erupted between the two camps.]

[That was… until they saw the magazine photos of you and her together.]

[At that moment, all arguments ceased.]

Chapter 292: Drunken Mistakes Don’t Exist! 

[You brought the manuscript to meet with Yamashita, an editor from Kodansha.]

[This time, after reading her novel, Yamashita showed clear interest.]

[After confirming the copyright ownership and discussing the profit distribution with both of you, he stated that there shouldn't be any major issues with publishing the novel, though some sections would need to be refined with the help of the publisher and Satou herself.]

[Satou had no objections to this.]

[After numerous...

Chapter 291: May You Also Find Someone You Love 

[By the time she entered her first year of university, you had already advanced from your second year to your third.]

[It was only after she entered Tokyo University that she truly realized just how dazzling you had always been.]

[Every single course—aced with the highest scores.]

[With your handsome appearance and natural charisma, you had built a solid network of connections on campus.]

[On top of that, as a student, you had already published highly acclaimed liter...

Chapter 290: Satou-san, You’re Quite the Bold One 

[Winter had turned water into ice. You walked her to the entrance of Tokyo University, offering no grand words of encouragement, only silently reaching out to brush the snow from her pink hair.]

[She, too, said nothing. She only gazed at you for a long moment with those soft pink eyes, before quietly adjusting the scarf you had ruffled when bringing her here.]

—

White snowflakes fell from the pale sky, blanketing everything in sight.

The trees lining the path beyond ...

Chapter 289: Winter Arrives As Promised 

[Riding your motorcycle through the snow, watching the scenery shift from city, to farmland, to mountains... The endless white swallows everything, including the anxious conflict in her heart.]

[The warmth she felt against your back was something she had never experienced before. Something she had never even dared to dream of.]

[She was saved by the warmth you gave her.]

[After an intimate night together, you gazed at the girl sleeping beside you—her peaceful, delicat...

Chapter 288: It’s Disappointing, But At Least There’s Chisato 

After saying what he needed to say—

Minami fell silent.

He wasn't the type to lecture people unless he had to.

But sometimes, there was no avoiding it.

Like now, with Satou.

If he didn't point out her flawed thinking directly—

Who knew when she'd try another secret escape?

And he only had 1,200 Heartthrob Points.

Now that he had spent them, there was no guarantee he'd get another shot at this.

So, of course, he had to make sure she und...

Chapter 287: Winter Motorcycles Are Pure Suffering

Riding a motorcycle through the winter streets—

This was probably the dumbest thing Minami had ever done in his life.

Even with a thick, insulated windproof jacket.

Even with a sturdy motorcycle helmet.

Even with thick, padded gloves covering his hands.

It was still freezing.

Minami couldn't help but grumble to himself.

What was his simulated self even thinking?

Why did it have to be a motorcycle instead of a car?

At eighteen, he was mor...

Chapter 286: Direct Simulation

(TL Music Recommendation: My-Nonfiction Kaguya-sama)

...

Fortunately, the simulation didn't turn into a full-blown party at the study base.

It was just that Hitori and Akane would come over and engage in things that went beyond simple friendship with him.

This allowed Minami to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but stare at the simulation, wondering—

Why are Hitori and Akane so bold in the simulation?

In reality...

Chapter 285: Gotoh-san’s Lap Pillow Experience

Seeing the simulated projection of his 241.5 million yen earnings—

Even Minami couldn't help but be amazed at how ridiculously profitable Japan's publishing industry was.

And this was from just 200,000 copies sold.

It was easy to imagine how much veteran authors and popular light novelists made when their books sold in the millions.

Still, the key factor behind this success was his Level 4 Writing Skill.

At Level 4, his writing was considered among the top-tier...

Chapter 284: The Publishing Industry Has Always Been a Goldmine

[After your conversation with Matsuzaka Sayuri, you came to a harsh realization.]

[As things stood, there was simply no way the Matsuzaka household could afford to send Satou to university.]

[You started considering how you could earn enough money to change their situation.]

[Fortunately, you possessed a talent for writing that was nearly unmatched—crafting stories and articles with ease.]

[But whether it was novels or articles, making money from writing was a slow p...

Chapter 283: Entering a Financial Crisis 

[After thinking about it, she still hadn't found a long-term goal but she had made up her mind.]

[She wanted to go to university. Preferably, the same one as you.]

[Because aside from her parents, her aunt—Matsuzaka Sayuri had sacrificed a great deal for her.]

[After her parents passed away, Sayuri had dropped out of university to raise her.]

[Lying in the dimly lit tent, Matsuzaka Satou moved closer to you, her voice full of quiet guilt.]

[Even though Sayuri h...

Chapter 282: Satou is Sweet

[To live in this world, love and emotions are not the only things that matter—future and ambition are just as important.]

[Focusing on only one while ignoring the other is merely exchanging one extreme for another.]

[You shared these thoughts with Matsuzaka Satou.]

[And you asked her if there was anything she wanted to do or anywhere she wanted to go.]

[She thought for a long time—but in the end, she still shook her head.]

[Now that she was slowly regaining h...

Chapter 281: The Things That Must Be Done in the Future! 

The simulation continued forward.

[Matsuzaka Satou's emotional deficiency had greatly improved.]

[And now, the path before you was clear—you had to decide…]

[1. Introduce her to 'Kessoku Band,' 'LycoReco,' and the other girls. If you truly love her, you shouldn't deceive her. Temporary secrecy won't build a lasting relationship! A lie requires another lie to cover it up, and maintaining that facade would be exhausting.]

[2. Wait until her emotional stability is ful...

Chapter 280: The Girl’s Unusual Tastes

"Wow… While they're hitting home runs on the baseball field, I'm out here hitting a home run in love, huh?"

Feeling the weight of the simulation—

Minami couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Even he hadn't expected things to progress so smoothly.

Not only had he secured a relationship with her—

He had even taken her first kiss.

The speed of this development was something else.

"Even if it's only a simulated version of me with just a fraction of m...

Chapter 279. He Kissed Her Lips

(TL Music Recommendation: " the peggies「センチメートル」Music Video " )

...

What confused him wasn't the fact that his simulated self had stopped Matsuzaka Satou from lifting her skirt. 

After all, he had always believed in his own noble and pure character. 

A model student who never took advantage of girls. 

How could he possibly stand by and let something like that happen? 

No, stopping her made perfect sense. 

Thi...

Chapter 278: What Lies Beneath a Girl’s Skirt?

"Wait a minute… Matsuzaka-san, why are you suspicious in the first place?"

Minami couldn't help but facepalm as he read the simulation text.

That's your aunt we're talking about!

Do you even realize how big the age gap is between me and her?

Even if it wasn't 20 years, it was at least a decade!

And that's the person you're keeping an eye on?!

Shouldn't you be more worried about yourself?!

Minami sighed, shaking his head.

Then again,

It w...

Chapter 277: Simulation Restart

Having soothed Chisato's emotions and ensured the marriage certificate remained intact, Minami was in an exceptionally good mood.

Initially, he had planned to head out to the living room, lie down for a bit, and then start the next simulation.

But before he could get up,

Chisato, sounding a little embarrassed called out to him.

"…Minami-kun, you can just rest here."

Instinctively, Minami turned to look at Chisato, who was still sitting on the bed.

Under t...

Chapter 275: "Are You Abandoning Me and Takina?" 

"Alright—"

After seeing Satou off, Minami went over his words one last time and nodded to himself.

"I don't think I said anything wrong."

He had a good reason to be this cautious.

After all, Matsuzaka Satou wasn't a normal girl.

When it came to teaching her about emotions, he had to be very careful.

Otherwise, one wrong step—

And who knew what this pink-haired girl might end up doing.

Fortunately, based on their conversation and his approach...

Chapter 274: A Girl’s Troubles 

(TL Music Recommendation, the lyrics kinda hit tho:

"I see."

After seeing Ryo off and fiddling with his phone for a bit,

Minami listened to Satou's explanation, then nodded.

"So, basically—your aunt suddenly changed, and you're struggling to accept it?"

"…That's about right."

Satou murmured, taking a sip of tea.

"It's not that I dislike the fact that she changed… ...

Chapter 273: Miss Yamada Wants to Peek 

Long before coming to find Matsuzaka Satou, Minami had already made up his mind.

He was going to pull her out of her emotional void.

For the sake of Matsuzaka Shio's future.

For the sake of his own daughter, Mirai.

For the sake of Shinjo Akane's wishes.

He had even mentally prepared himself for the challenge ahead.

And yet—

"I really didn't expect this to happen."

Minami stared at the vomit on his clothes, at a complete loss for words.

"...

Chapter 272: Covered in Something Filthy 

Lately, her aunt had been acting very strange.

Standing outside Matsuzaka Sayuri's bedroom door, Matsuzaka Satou pondered this.

In the past, Sayuri would always bring different men home without saying a word, leading them straight to her bedroom.

The house was always a mess—nothing like an actual home.

But now—

It had been three or four days since Sayuri last brought a man home.

Not only that, she had even started cleaning.

The entire house, once ...

Chapter 271: Miss Shinjo’s Sore Waist and Aching Back

Minami always considered himself to have exceptional self-control—at least among men.

After all—

He had faced countless beautiful girls around him.

Yet he never once lost control or acted on impulse with any of them.

That alone was already quite an admirable feat.

But now…

Leaning against the edge of the bath, he stared at the girl in front of him.

Through the thin veil of steam—

Her soft, delicate figure was supposed to be vaguely hidde...

Chapter 270: At This Moment, No Man Can Keep His Gun Down

Since Akane was still emotionally unstable,

Minami decided to stay the night to take care of her.

It was supposed to be a perfectly normal thing.

After all, if your girlfriend is feeling down, staying with her to comfort her is the reasonable thing to do.

But then—

"How the hell did things end up like this?"

Minami sat in the bathtub, watching the naked, curvaceous figure of Akane soaking beside him.

His face was utterly speechless.

Yeah… 2025-04-06 04:15:33 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 269: Akane Wants to Be a Mom?

TL Here: Mass Release. Done! Total of 7, so give me your thoughts!

...

Mirai was about to leave.

That was an undeniable fact.

Minami had tried checking with the simulator to see if there was any way to extend her stay.

But it was clear—

That was impossible.

His actions had already caused a massive ripple effect in the future.

Just being able to extend her time by three extra hours was probably the simulator's absolute limit.

Now, as her ...

Chapter 268: Mirai's Departure

Mirai's hand wavered.

Her form flickered—

Almost like an illusion.

Like she might fade away completely.

But after two or three minutes—

The phenomenon stopped.

Her body stabilized again.

And yet—

Neither Mirai nor Akane could ignore what had just happened.

They exchanged uneasy glances—

Then both turned to look at Minami.

They had never asked before.

But both of them knew—

Minami possessed some kind of pow...

Chapter 267: System Evaluation—100 Points? 

Lying on the couch, Minami slowly opened his eyes.

Unlike his previous deep immersion(Direct) simulations,

This time—

Twelve hours had felt too short.

From morning to night,

He had guided Matsuzaka Shio,

Helped her acknowledge him as her father,

And in the end—

Brought her home.

Twelve hours had been barely enough.

But—

"At least… I managed to do it."

He murmured to himself.

Yes.

He had done it.

There is a saying—

"Funerals are for the living, not the dead."

Minami had always agreed with that.

Because the deceased are already gone.

No matter what the living do—

They won't feel it.

They won'...

Chapter 265: A Daughter’s Living Environment 

Matsuzaka Shio had never imagined—

That she would meet her biological father like this.

Under these circumstances.

In this setting.

She couldn't help but steal a glance at the man beside her.

Dressed in elegant attire, his jet-black eyes were clear and piercing.

His features were sharp yet warm, his lips curled into a small smile.

Just standing beside him—

Just speaking with him—

There was an indescribable sense of ease.

Even t...

Chapter 264: She from the Future

Minami fell silent.

From the details in Matsuzaka Shio's letter—

He could confirm a few things.

In this particular future route, he had been involved with Matsuzaka Satou.

And they had a child.

But—

If this followed the simulation, Matsuzaka Satou feared motherhood.

She never wanted to have a child, let alone raise one alone.

Which meant—

She must have been terrified. So much so that she ran away while pregnant rather than stay with ...
