[You think that if it’s just some over-dependence, it won’t affect your future. You really like this petite doll and are willing to keep her by your side for life, giving her all your love.]
[You’ve distanced yourself from your friends.]
[Your outstanding appearance and inseparable relationship have made you quite famous at school. Everyone sees you as a model couple.]
[A private section named after you and her has appeared on the school forum. Some students have become fans of your relationship, secretly updating the section with loving photos of you two and describing the affectionate scenes they witness.]
[Several talent scouts have approached you, wanting you to debut as a couple, but you refused.]
[Among those who only see the beauty and cheer for you, Chitose Kazumi is particularly clear-headed. She successfully got into Misaki University, but couldn’t enter the Physics Department and chose History instead.]
[Your relationship with her remains the same as in high school, but you meet less often and chat more online, because of Ibuki Yuko.]
[Chitose Kazumi realizes that your real relationship is the opposite of what it appears. Others think you are the tall younger brother being taken care of, and Ibuki Yuko is the petite older sister looking after you, but only she knows that Ibuki Yuko is the one demanding and needing your care.]
[She worries about you but can’t think of a solution. She has tried multiple times to get close to Ibuki Yuko, hoping to become friends and share some of your burden, but Ibuki Yuko shows no interest in her.]
[After graduation, you didn’t pursue further studies and married Ibuki Yuko, who wore a white kimono for your traditional wedding in your hometown, Ino Prefecture.][The simple and elegant white kimono highlighted her grace and purity even more. You bought that dress and often took it out at night for her to wear.]
[Ibuki Yuko changed her name to Minami Yuko after the marriage.]
[You didn’t rush into work after the wedding. Using the income from a video streaming site, you bought a house in your hometown and settled down. The house is only a ten-minute drive from your parents’ place.]
[A month after the wedding, Minami Yuko became pregnant.]
[Your parents were overjoyed. Your mother stayed by her daughter-in-law’s side every day after work, and your father consulted friends about the entire process from pregnancy to the birth of the grandchild. Even your sister often rode her bike over to see her little sister-in-law. Now, she is taller than Yuko.]
[Minami Yuko successfully gave birth to a baby girl, and you named her Mayuri, hoping she would be a strong child.]
[The new family member attracted everyone’s attention, including yours. Your mother took a long leave to care for her granddaughter, and your father headed straight to your house after work. Your sister, however, didn’t take much interest in the baby and just stuck to her sister-in-law.]
Minami Yuuki frowned. Isn’t something wrong with this sister?
Why are you so concerned about my wife?
Well, she’s my sister, so it shouldn’t be a big issue.
He put aside this detail and looked at the name of his daughter on the simulation interface.
Mayuri, huh.
I wonder what she’ll be like when she grows up.
Will she be like her mom, just like Miu?
If possible, I hope she only resembles Ibuki Yuko in looks, not in height and build.
Outside the window, the sky had completely darkened. From his daughter, Minami Yuuki thought of Miu, and the lively, adorable figure of the girl in the simulation appeared in the dark window frame.
This made him think of Nao.
Asano Nao was sitting at the dining table, holding a black handheld game console, seemingly focused on the game, but her motionless fingers betrayed her inner thoughts.
Seeing her changed from her simple attire, Minami Yuuki thought of the beginning of the simulation where Asano Nao seduced him.
Is this the seduction mentioned in the simulation text?
Just talking about the body, indeed more tempting than Ibuki Yuko.
His unabashed gaze was soon noticed by Asano Nao, the older, socially anxious sister who got so startled that she almost dropped the handheld console on the floor.
She held the game console firmly and then quietly looked at the boy on the sofa. The boy had already withdrawn his gaze.
She sighed softly.
Minami Yuuki continued to look at the simulation interface. Although the current simulation plot was very stable, he couldn’t relax.
A huge, imaginable shadow hovered over his simulated life, and with the birth of his daughter, the shadow became increasingly oppressive, almost touching his family.
He hoped the shadow was just his imagination.
[You can only hold Mayuri, kiss her cheek, and shake her little hands and feet properly during your parents’ busy moments.]
[Although your sister isn’t as obsessed as you are, she also loves this tiny human baby. She brought many of her dolls and lined them up in the nursery.]
[The only person who doesn’t like Mayuri is the one who should love her the most—Ibuki Yuko.]
Just as I thought!
Minami Yuuki pinched the bridge of his nose and turned to glare at Asano Nao by the dining table.
You wives, every one of you has issues with the kids!
After realizing that Ibuki Yuko wanted to monopolize him, he had vaguely thought of this problem.
To monopolize meant not wanting to share with anyone, including their own daughter.
Now, how should he handle this? He was troubled.
Ibuki Yuko’s mental state should be more stable than Asano Nao’s, and she shouldn’t end up depressed because of their daughter.
He continued to watch the simulation interface.
[Your discovery stemmed from a familiar feeling.]
[After your mother’s vacation ended and she went back to work, it was often just the three of you at home. Before leaving, your mother taught Yuko how to take care of the baby, and Yuko’s skills were impeccable.]
[You also wanted to take care of Mayuri, but Yuko always held her daughter first. Her care was considerate and meticulous, and Mayuri was indeed calmer in her hands than in yours.]
[You didn’t think much of it until you suddenly realized you hadn’t played with your daughter for a long time. By then, Mayuri was almost one year old.]
[You quickly recalled high school, when you lost contact with Asano Nao and Chitose Kazumi for a while due to Ibuki Yuko’s seduction. From this, you realized that Yuko was hindering your closeness with Mayuri. Whenever you tried to play with your daughter, your wife would always find ways to divert your attention.]
[You felt a sense of panic as a fundamental question surfaced in your mind.]
[Was Yuko’s meticulous care for Mayuri out of motherly love, or was it to prevent you from getting close to your daughter?]
[You observed your wife’s actions and soon discovered a crucial clue that revealed her true mindset.]
[Yuko never played with Mayuri.]
[Every time it was time to feed, change diapers, or when Mayuri cried, Yuko would pick her up, expertly resolve her issues, and then put her down without any reluctance.]
[She acted like a high-quality childcare doll—perfectly professional but emotionally detached.]
[Hoping you were wrong, you asked your wife late one night if she wanted to have another daughter.]
