Thank you, Bocchi-chan.
Nijika lay on the bed, her chest rising and falling slightly as she slowly steadied her breathing.
She had almost thought she was going to die.
Thankfully, Bocchi-chan had helped midway, taking the damage and holding the frontline for a long time.
Nightlife after marriage was not sweet romance at all, it was like storming the Demon King's castle to fight a boss.
The kind no one person could possibly defeat alone.
[The year that followed.]
[You enjoyed a happy life, without any ripples.]
[It is worth mentioning that.]
[Toru accompanied you to register your marriage, and you officially became his lawful wife.]
[Ryo was happy to see it happen, with no hint of jealousy at all.]
[Hitori showed a trace of envy in her eyes, then quickly hid it.]
[After learning the news, it seemed as if a pair of horns appeared on Kita's head…]
Horns… cuckolding?
[Hmm, it should just be an illusion.]
[In spring, you began discussing the wedding details and its scale.]
[Toru, wanting to be fair to everyone, did not skimp in this regard. Since he was holding a wedding, he would make it the biggest one.]
[He rented a cathedral in England and promised that he would hold a separate wedding for each of you.]
[At the wedding, your older sister wore a subtle expression, seeming somewhat guilty.]
…Guilty?
Why?
[Because all these years, she had secretly slept with Toru countless times behind your back, even giving him her precious first time.]
I knew it.
Nijika covered her face with her hands.
In the earlier simulation, those two were glued together every single day. It would have been strange if nothing had happened.
So does that mean the harem members were not just four, but five?
"Could there be other people too?"
Nijika the little angel's guess was not groundless.
Because in the previous simulation, a winner appeared whom nobody was familiar with…
[Among the guests, you saw many unfamiliar faces. Your husband had built an extensive network over the years, one you knew very little about.]
[Many major figures from the business and political worlds attended. At the post wedding banquet, they showed no airs and proactively offered sincere congratulations.]
[Toru was 28 this year, in the prime of his life. You could not imagine how high a position he might reach in the future.]
[The wedding came to an end.]
[You returned to your normal life.]
[The following year.]
[Some small things happened in the world.]
[Toru once again developed the "panacea," causing a huge stir in the medical community.]
"Toru-kun really did inherit memories from the previous simulations…"
No.
Nijika shook her head, rejecting the thought.
One simulation lasted at least several decades.
Added together, Toru had lived for hundreds of years…
How could he possibly still retain such a youthful mindset?
[In September, the team led by Toru overcame multiple challenges in room temperature superconductors, unlocking several shackles that had constrained human technological progress.]
[In November, Toru's technology company achieved a breakthrough in artificial intelligence. Strong AI might no longer be a dream.]
[The following year.]
[In spring, Toru began research in the field of brain computer interfaces. Massive capital poured in, and the metaverse concept surged back into popularity.]
…
A flood of achievements filled the screen.
Nijika thought of something terrifying.
If Toru applied all the skills he had mastered in the simulations to reality,
then Japan, no, the entire world would experience a massive technological explosion.
[Entering his thirties.]
[You began to consider the matter of children.]
[Toru used his resources to support politicians he favored. His reputation in Japan was now at its peak. He was hailed as a national treasure, and pushing someone into power was effortless.]
[That year, Toru and Hitori held a wedding.]
[The grand ceremony quickly made headlines in the media, causing waves across the world.]
[It was not uncommon for the wealthy to keep mistresses, but daring to openly marry two wives was something people were seeing for the first time, especially in a monogamous country like Japan.]
[Toru's domestic reputation plummeted.]
[Public favorability dropped below freezing.]
[One month later.]
[Toru solved the problem of leukemia.]
[Public approval shot back up like a roller coaster.]
[But there were still people who were dissatisfied.]
["So what if you cured leukemia? Practicing polygamy in modern society is feudal poison and must be criticized!"]
[Many voices like this appeared online: "What's leukemia worth? Real men go cure cancer."]
[These voices lasted for a month, then gradually faded.]
[Toru's team truly made a breakthrough in cancer immunotherapy, once again shaking the academic world.]
[The terrifying disease that had tormented humanity for centuries was about to vanish into the long river of history.]
[In autumn, Toru and Ryo held a wedding.]
[The scene was extraordinarily grand.]
[Because it was broadcast live worldwide.]
[The popularity surpassed the previous one.]
[To celebrate the marriage.]
[Toru casually showed off his piano skills. Only then did people realize that his talent extended beyond scientific research. He was equally proficient in the arts.]
[Afterward, a pile of strange rumors spread online.]
[Because after Toru's last wedding, he broke through many technological bottlenecks, netizens began a wish making phase.]
["Kitahara-sama, Gundams are really possible, real men should pilot robots!"]
["Boss boss boss, consider full dive games! Movable 2D wife characters, please!"]
["Controlled nuclear fusion, controlled nuclear fusion, controlled nuclear fusion!!!"]
[Unfortunately, Toru was not an all purpose wishing machine.]
[He was only skilled in medicine and computing. Other fields would require time for gradual research.]
[After marrying three wives.]
[Toru temporarily slowed his pace.]
[The world accepted, even blessed, his love with you all. That was enough.]
Wait.
What about Kita-chan? Was she abandoned?
Nijika scrolled back through the simulator text for a long time, but still found no mention of Kita.
[Toru originally wanted to marry Kita, but she refused. This woman seemed to prefer being a lover.]
Nijika: "O△O"
Kita-chan was addicted to being a cuckolder.
Terrifying.
[That winter, you became pregnant.]
[Ryo, Kita, and Hitori followed shortly after.]
[What surprised you even more was.]
[Your older sister, Ijichi Seika, was also pregnant.]
[All at once, there were five pregnant women in the household.]
[Toru had a headache. He had planned to space things out, but accidentally succeeded across the board.]
[After some discussion, you named the children.]
[Kitahara Amane, Kitahara Suzune, Kitahara Shio, Kitahara Yui.]
[And Ijichi Seika's daughter.]
[Kitahara Rei.]
