Chapter 23
【You recount to Asano Nao the process of how you met her in a previous simulation, suggesting she use it as the beginning and continue writing your story.】
【Asano Nao raises many objections, the strongest being how could a high school girl (jk) possibly get involved with a NEET like Asano. You point to yourself and her, asking rhetorically, isn’t this an example?】
【Asano Nao falls silent, still hesitating. You express your anticipation, emotionally pressing Asano Nao, and leave the Asano house without waiting for her to object.】
【In the following days, whenever Asano Nao brings up the novel, you change the subject, not giving her a chance to refuse.】
【Asano Nao has no choice but to start writing.】
【Whenever you leave for school, Asano Nao sits at her desk, typing away. She writes slowly but earnestly.】
【As summer passes into winter, the days of winter break arrive. With your hard work, your grades at the private school are among the top, and with Chitose Kazumi’s help, your final exam scores are stable in the top ten of your class.】
【Asano Nao has finished the first volume of the novel. You read it twice; the story she wrote is vastly different from your previous simulation. In the story, the visiting high school girl, much like you in this life, accompanies the socially anxious young man, bringing him out into the light.】
【Asano Nao’s writing is immature, but the emotions of the characters are detailed and profound, making you realize again how sensitive she is.)
