My Love Simulation with Them-Chapter 237: Father’s Control Over His Daughter Is Unacceptable

Chapter 237 - 237: Father’s Control Over His Daughter Is Unacceptable 

The growth of the band had been swift.

Thanks to the reminder from Kikuri, Minami had already come to realize this.

The girls, who once needed his encouragement and support, had unknowingly caught up to him and were now able to move forward alongside him.

This gave Minami a sense of relief, while also reminding him of something he had wanted to use before—the [Random Daughter Summon Card].

"I was planning on using the [Random Daughter Summon Card] after the 'Teen Music Festival,' but it seems like the band no longer requires my constant worry..."

Sitting in his room on the first floor of the Starry building, staring at the simulator, Minami stood up and took a sip of water.

Since the band's matters were no longer something he needed to focus on, he could now shift his attention to his own affairs.

However—

Minami looked at the explanation of the [Random Daughter Summon Card] in the simulator.

[Random Daughter Summon Card: Every simulation, every new life born, is both a coincidence and a destiny. Your constant choices, your attempts, have built countless timelines where reality and chance intertwine. In this moment, everything crosses paths. When you meet them again, will you still bear the responsibility of a father, as you did in the simulation?]

[Cost: 800 Heartthrob Points to activate the item. You will hear their request to you. As a father, should you fulfill their request?]

"800 Heartthrob Points for a single use," Minami muttered to himself.

He tapped the simulator's item tab, sitting at the desk.

The last time he checked, his Heartthrob Points were 1660.

But after two days of accumulation, his points had increased.

From the previous 1660, he now had 1840.

It seemed like a lot, but in reality, it was just enough for two uses of the [Random Daughter Summon Card].

However, aside from the Heartthrob Points issue...

There were other things Minami needed to pay attention to.

At the top of the list was basic living arrangements.

Clothing, food, and transportation were no problem for Minami.

As long as he worked a little more at 'LycoReco,' providing for his daughter's needs wasn't a huge issue.

The real problem lay in "housing."

He couldn't let his daughter live with him in his current room, could he?

After all, this was the first floor of the Starry building, directly adjacent to the Starry Hall.

If Yamada Ryo, Gotoh Hitori, or any of the others saw his daughter manifesting into the real world...

That was definitely not something that could be brushed off easily.

And aside from this concern, there were even more things Minami had to worry about.

That is—

"Time limit..."

Minami rested his face in his hand, scanning the item description of the [Random Daughter Summon Card].

From the description of this item, he didn't see any mention of how long the daughter would remain in the real world after manifesting, or how much time they could stay.

For example, if the daughter manifested with 800 Heartthrob Points, would she only be able to stay in the real world for two or three days before returning to the simulation's timeline...?

If that were the case, using this item wouldn't be a problem at all.

He could use it now, satisfying his curiosity about what his future daughter might be like.

But—

If he used it carelessly... and the daughter that manifested couldn't return to the simulation's timeline...

That would be a huge mess.

A daughter, living forever in the real world as a nameless, undocumented child, staying in his home... that would be pitiful.

So, no matter how he looked at it, the [Random Daughter Summon Card] wasn't the kind of item you could just casually use without thought.

"Does it have a time limit?"

Just as Minami was lost in his thoughts, the simulator screen, which had been calm before, suddenly displayed a message.

[Would you like to spend 50 Heartthrob Points to view the detailed item description? Yes/No?]

"Detailed item description?"

Minami perked up, then couldn't help but shake his head.

As expected, his simulator was the most bizarre thing.

To view the detailed description of an item, he had to spend 50 Heartthrob Points.

It was like buying a very complex device without an instruction manual, and then the manufacturer messaging him, saying, "Pay us 50, and we'll send you the manual."

But Minami wasn't too concerned.

After all, his simulator had always been strange, and this wasn't the first time.

Instead of worrying about it, he figured it was better to just pay the points and get the full description.

With that in mind, Minami clicked on the "Yes" option.

As a ripple-like effect spread across the screen, the detailed description of the [Random Daughter Summon Card] appeared before him.

No...

Rather than a detailed explanation, it was more like...

"Isn't this just two extra lines?"

Looking at the description that was almost identical to the original, except for two additional lines, Minami's mouth twitched.

Was this really worth 50 Heartthrob Points?

Feeling like a sucker, Minami shook his head in disbelief but still focused on the two new lines of explanation.

At least, this time, the simulator didn't try to trick him further.

The new annotation was exactly what Minami had been hoping for—an explanation regarding the time limit.

[The character manifested by this item possesses full memories of the host.]

[The character manifested by this item can appear in the real world for 8 days.]

The first line was easy to understand.

It meant that the daughter manifesting in the real world would remember Minami as her father.

There wouldn't be any embarrassing situation where she appeared but didn't recognize him.

This put Minami's mind at ease.

At least he wouldn't have to waste time explaining himself to his daughter.

The second line was even simpler—

"Just as I thought, there's a time limit."

Seeing that the manifestation lasted for only 8 days, Minami nodded to himself.

100 Heartthrob Points per day, totaling 800 for 8 days, just like the usual calculation method of the simulator.

Very reasonable.

"8 days... that's not too bad."

It wasn't that Minami was boasting.

When he first arrived in Akita, he did have some experience taking care of children.

At that time, since he was new to the area and unfamiliar with his surroundings, plus he had a knack for dealing with kids, he often had the neighbor's young girls help him with chores, cooking meals, and sometimes even give him back massages.

To be honest, he was quite popular with those little girls, and sometimes they would even offer him their snacks.

Minami would just go along with it, occasionally munching on the snacks they handed over while continuing to learn.

So, when it came to taking care of little girls, Minami actually considered himself pretty experienced.

Now, all that was left was—

"Let's do it."

Yes.

Since the memory and manifestation time were already explained, and there was no need to worry, there was no reason to hesitate any longer.

He could use the [Random Daughter Summon Card] right away.

"I wonder who will appear..."

Minami never understood the appeal of gacha-style mobile games and why players became so obsessed with them.

But now, at this moment, he could somewhat resonate with those players who enjoy pulling cards.

As of now, Minami had six daughters.

There was Shouji Miyuki, who had a bit of social anxiety, inherited from her mother, Gotoh Hitori, but was still much better than her mother.

Then there was Shouji Yuna, with a bizarre personality just like her mother, Yamada Ryo, even mimicking Ryo and often teasing Minami by pretending to be her mother.

Shouji Haruto, on the other hand, was the complete opposite, gentle and elegant, aspiring to be a literary girl.

And then there was Shouji Nayuki, the lively and cute one, a complete contrast to Inoue Takina's personality.

Next, there was Shouji Mirai, the quirky one who wanted to become an actress and even dreamed of becoming her father's bride, born from a union with Shinjo Akane.

Finally, there was Shouji Mei, a cold, science-loving introvert who aspired to become a physicist, born from a recent simulation with Futaba Rio.

As for the daughters from Nijika and Kita...

Their story was never told in the simulation, so Minami couldn't say for sure.

After all, it was possible that a son might be born instead.

But looking at his six daughters so far...

"Hmm... why do I feel like they all seem to be a bit clingy?"

Minami reviewed the happy ending simulation records with each of his daughters.

He sat back down.

It was undoubtedly a good thing that his daughters liked him.

But having too much affection from his daughters...

That felt a bit inappropriate.

However...

"Never mind."

Minami extended his finger and glanced at the simulator's page.

With a one-in-six chance, plus the possibility of a child from Nijika and Kita, it became an eight-in-eight chance.

As long as he didn't get Shouji Yuna (who had the most severe father complex) or Shouji Mirai (who wanted to marry her father), it would be a success!

After all, while his other daughters might also have a slight father complex, none of them had gone as far as Shouji Mirai, who outright said she wanted to marry her father, or Shouji Yuna, who frequently pretended to be her father to trick him into her room.

In any case, as long as it wasn't Shouji Mirai or Shouji Yuna, everything else could be worked with!

Even if it were Shouji Mirai or Shouji Yuna,

Minami wasn't overly concerned.

As mentioned before, he had experience taking care of little girls.

Perhaps this could even be an opportunity to help those two daughters with father complexes get back on track.

With a bit of the hopeful mindset of a gacha player, Minami placed his finger on the simulator's item menu.

[Would you like to activate the item 'Random Daughter Summon Card' for 800 Heartthrob Points? Yes/No?]

"Yes!"

Without much hesitation,

Minami clicked "Yes."

The next moment, a long ripple spread from the simulator page before him.

It was like throwing a stone into a calm lake.

The once peaceful simulation screen began to ripple, and the spreading waves intensified.

Points and lines began to converge.

At the same time, a blinding light flashed, so intense that Minami couldn't help but close his eyes.

When Minami opened his eyes again, he found someone standing in front of him.

It was a young woman, perhaps in her early twenties.

Her face was pale yet healthy, with a pinkish glow, and large, adorable crimson eyes.

Her black shoulder-length hair looked neat and sharp.

She was probably a college student.

She wore a black and white-collared uniform on top, with a deep brown scarf around her neck, and a long skirt on the bottom.

She stood there gracefully, with an almost perfect, magnetic smile that seemed to radiate warmth, making others instinctively want to approach her.

And this aura...

Among all the girls Minami knew, there was only one person who had it.

That person was the pink-haired girl with a sunshiny, captivating smile—Shinjo Akane.

At this point, the identity of the girl before him was becoming clear.

Without a doubt, she was Minami's second daughter he didn't want to manifest—Shinjo Akane's daughter—Shouji Mirai.

And when the girl saw Minami, the calm crimson eyes of hers quickly filled with a passionate intensity that even Minami couldn't handle.

Bang!!!

The door was slammed shut.

Minami, standing outside, couldn't help but gasp.

What the hell?!

He couldn't help but open the simulator again, double-checking the contents on the screen.

After confirming that he had indeed used the [Random Daughter Summon Card], he muttered,

"The content is correct..."

Minami was completely confused.

Why was the daughter older than he was?

Are you sure this is my 'daughter'?

Why is she older than him?

Minami had initially expected to take care of a little girl, maybe around five or six years old, someone he had experience with...

But the moment Shouji Mirai manifested, he was completely dumbfounded.

What five or six years old?

Shouji Mirai looked like she was already in college.

And, of course, to make matters worse, she happened to be a father complex daughter...

Minami was already starting to get a headache.

It finally dawned on him.

While the [Random Daughter Summon Card] said "random daughter," it didn't specify an age.

In other words, when using this item, the age of the daughter would also be random.

She could be a child or an adult.

What frustrated him further was that, right now, adult Shouji Mirai was in his room, still smiling as she knocked on the door, asking him why he wasn't going inside.

Minami had a clear understanding of Shouji Mirai's father complex through the simulations.

Staying in the same room with her, from every perspective, would be an extremely awkward situation.

He had enough reasons to suspect that his daughter might try something on him—wait, no, she was older now, so it should be his "older daughter" trying something on the currently "shota Minami"...

Ugh...

Just thinking about it,

Minami's head began to throb again.
