Tokyo, there are too many beautiful girls imitating me

And now, even though she was swept up in the atmosphere and the keychain was forced into Hanasaka Yui's hand by today's birthday girl, Kanzuki Marin, it at least meant that she had intentions in her heart.

And the movement of intention is joy, and it is the beginning of fall.

Watching this scene, whether it was Miki Matsunami, Chika Tachibana, or Asuka Reimiya, they all had smiles of success on their faces.

In this way, the gift from Reimiya Asuka was followed by the gift from cousin Akizuki Aino.

When everyone's eyes were vaguely focused on her, she subconsciously hid behind Chika Tachibana, with only half of her body exposed. She pointed at the cake on the table and whispered haltingly.

"Eggs, cake, made by me, a gift!"

I have been staying at home for more than two years, and it is even more difficult to go out to buy gifts. I can't expect too much from Akizuki Aino. Just having such a thoughtful cake makes Kanzuki Manrin very happy.

She wanted to say something but stopped herself. After thinking for a while, she swallowed her arrogant words and expressed her gratitude more frankly.

“I’ll savor it with gratitude!”

This is probably the tenderness that is unique to Kanzuki Marin, towards Aino Akitsuki.

Knowing that her cousin is timid and not good at interacting with others, Kanzuki Manling always consciously swallows the hurtful words that are on the tip of her tongue when facing her.

Perhaps, she saw some of her own shadow in Aino Akizuki, and saw the inner heart that she tried hard to bury.

This is just speculation, and the outcome is unknown, but one thing is certain:

They are all kind girls, so they form a kind light music club and will not have any bad disputes because of anyone or anything.

Even if it involves Chika Tachibana, there will be no dispute.

Well, that's it... probably.

In short, everyone’s relationship is still very good now, so good, so pure that it is enviable.

"This is a gift for you. I found out about your birthday too late, and I never thought you would invite me... Anyway, I hope you like it!"

If you haven't watched Love Simulator, you won't understand why Mizuki Marin and Tachibana Chika are obsessed with her, and why they have such a strong liking for her, to the point of treating her as their destined drummer.

For Hanasaka Yui, she has dated both of them. Although her relationship with them is not bad, it is not particularly good, to the extent of her relationship with her close friend Shimokawahara Eiko.

So she was a little flustered about being invited so suddenly, but she prepared the gift as quickly as possible to express her thoughts at this moment.

"I'm opening it now, this is..."

When the gift was opened, Guanyue Zhenling's eyes lit up when she saw the exquisite headband with a blue butterfly inside.

She immediately took off the pink butterfly headband she used to tie her hair, and stroked it with her hands, dividing her soft golden long hair into two bundles and then tying them with hair ropes. Kanzuki Manrin returned to the familiar golden twintails.

"It tastes just right, it's still so exciting!"

"Finally, Shinrin is in her complete form again."

"Isn't it all Qianhua's fault? She was so stupid as to only give me one hair tie?"

You and I were talking one after another, looking at the familiar form of [Twin-tail Warrior] Mizuki Marin, Hanasaka Yui, Matsunami Miki, and Reimiya Asuka all looked excited, and they breathed a sigh of relief as if they had finally seen an extremely pleasing scene.

"Huh? I actually like ponytails."

Surprised by this, Chika Tachibana, who had been scolded for no reason, pouted in grievance, causing even louder laughter.

This happened last weekend after we went karaoke with Yui Hanasaka and Eiko Shimokawahara.

The four of them strolled together, visiting every shop they came across. They grabbed dolls when they passed by an arcade, tried on clothes when they came across a clothing store, and when they finally parted ways, they stepped into a small jewelry store.

There, privately made items were placed in the consignment area of ​​the store. Hanasaka Yui and Shimokawahara Eiko each bought some pretty little gadgets, while Tachibana Chika picked out a twin flower brooch and a hair tie with a pink butterfly.

At that time, Chika Tachibana kept the brooch for herself, and gave the hair tie to Marin Kanzuki, which is the one she wears on her head now.

Kanzuki Manrin treasures the hair tie she received from Chika Tachibana [although it did not increase the number of simulations, so it was not actually infused with much thought, it was just a casual gift, but it was still "filled with Chika Tachibana's full heart"].

From then on, she put down her signature twin ponytails and wore a butterfly headband every day. She also tied her hair into a single ponytail every day like Chika Tachibana, and they became a pair.

This is Kanzuki Marin, who is too deeply in love, and every move of Tachibana Chika can change her so deeply.

But without the most important selling point of twintails, Mizuki Manrin still lacked something. And because of a little selfish desire of hers that she couldn't tell anyone else about, she had been working hard for two days straight since she was invited by Tachibana Chika to attend the birthday party two days ago...

Well, anyway, today, she presented this blue butterfly headband that matched with Mizuki Marin's pink butterfly headband to help her re-consolidate the important concept of [golden twintails, sharp tongue, tsundere loser].

"Chika really likes ponytails? Well...it's not like I can't..."

"After all, this is a gift from me, so you should take good care of it. Your Miss Qianhua will like you no matter if you have a single ponytail or twintails, right?"

Until now, at this birthday party, after giving away the hair tie, Hanasaka Yui saw that her kindness was going to be ruined because of Chika Tachibana's words "I quite like a ponytail". She was annoyed but helpless, and hurriedly asked Chika Tachibana for help almost devoutly.

After finally getting a pair of blue and pink butterfly headbands, let’s make Mitsuki Manrin’s ponytail a pair as well. Onega, she can do anything!

"Yes, I like Zhenling the most. Zhenling with twin tails is twice as good. I like her the most!"

She easily received the encrypted message conveyed by Hanasaka Yui's pleading eyes, and was very considerate. Tachibana Chika immediately grabbed Kanzuki Marin's warm hand and poured out her heart.

Although she chose Matsuo-senpai in Mizuki Marin's simulation, and chose both Matsuo-senpai and her cousin in her cousin's simulation, she really likes Mizuki Marin the most!

"Hmm! Suddenly saying this, this, this, these..."

Wailing, screaming, water boiling, with Chika Tachibana's favorite, who cares about whether the ponytail is one or even? Her face flushed red, and after she shook Chika Tachibana's hand away, Kanzuki Shinrin's clenched fist flipped up and down uncontrollably, as if she really disliked Chika Tachibana.

"Pfft~ I still couldn't be honest for three minutes, and I'm back to being that tsundere Masuzu again."

A heart-melting dessert-level interaction was unfolding before her eyes. She was so happy that her mouth was stretched from ear to ear. Miki Matsuo couldn't help but sigh out loud, and then took out the gift she had prepared.

"Okay, I know you like Qianhua very much, come and accept the gift I gave you."

"No, no, I do, no, I don't!!! Ahhh, never mind, I'm opening my presents!"

Whether she likes it or not, whether she is a tsundere or not, her brain is a little overloaded. After shouting, Mitsuki Manrin opened the gift box amid everyone's laughter.

Inside is a beautifully repaired guitar felt, the shape and color of which are similar to the moon-white rock guitar of Guanyue Zhenling. It can be seen at a glance that it has been carefully hand-made.

"This is really incredible. It must have taken a lot of time."

Needle felting is a delicate job. To make a needle felt with a complex shape and high degree of completion, the time required will definitely be counted in weeks.

As if she had some understanding of this, she clapped her hands and exclaimed in amazement.

"I just poke it in my free time. It's relaxing and enjoyable. Thinking that I'm giving it to my lovely club members, I don't find it boring at all. It's really enjoyable. Jane is not so much making a gift for Zhenling as rewarding herself."

Ten days ago, she knew that Chika Tachibana was going to hold a birthday party for Mizuki Marin, so from that day on, Miki Matsushima would poke Mizuki with full of affection every day...well, the pokes she wanted to give to Mizuki Marin, and now she finally caught up.

"Senior sister is such a patient person who can stick to one thing."

Looking at the needle felt that Kanzuki Malin was playing with in her hands, one could seem to imagine the relaxed and peaceful expression on Miki Matsunami's face as she patiently poked the needle felt under the lamp at night.

Narrowing her eyes, Chika Tachibana sighed softly.

It seems that while making Kanzuki Malin feel uncomfortable, this senior sister secretly gained some favorability?

Stealing a glance at Miki Matsuoka's pretty face, Akizuki Aino secretly thought in her heart, secretly sighing at the "cunning" of her good friend.

However, there were too many people at home now, and she had to stay stubbornly, suppressing her inner timidity and discomfort. At this moment, she couldn't say much, or do anything to prevent Miki Matsunami from running away.

So, there was another round of laughter, and then it was the turn of the finale gift, which was given by Chika Tachibana.

Everyone's eyes were on her, but Chika Tachibana had nothing in her hands and was smiling.

"This party is my gift to you, Zhenling. Rather than a tangible, physical gift, I want to leave beautiful memories in your heart."

His mother died young and he had a bad relationship with his father. He has been living alone all this time. Because of his personality, he is too proud and has the defect of not being able to speak properly.

Just like what we saw in Kanzuki Marin's house, this girl's heart was empty. She only cared about a few things, and only a few people cared about her.

Does this girl spend every birthday alone?

I want to give her warmth and tell her that she is no longer alone.

This party, this birthday party where everyone gathered together to smile at her and express their joy to her, was the gift that Chika Tachibana gave her.

She was extremely satisfied with this and asked proudly.

"Do you like it?"

Like it?

When asked this question, Guanyue Zhenling was suddenly stunned.

She thought back to the phone call she had made before.

Father, why would the man she hated the most suddenly call her today and say such words?

Guanyue Zhenling suddenly understood the reason.

Ah, it turns out that today is her birthday.

Obviously, even she herself had forgotten.

I have been living alone, without relatives or friends. At first, I would buy a small cake and swallow it with tears in the empty house, but later I became numb, forgot, and even forgot.

But Chika Tachibana still remembers these meaningless days that she herself has forgotten.

On the day when she asked Chika Tachibana for a gift in order to get more simulations, she "prevaricated" the matter. She was full of confidence and did not show any preparation afterwards, so much so that people thought she had forgotten about it and did not take it to heart at all.

In fact, it was planned all along. Before she asked her for a gift, this girl, Chika Tachibana, had already thought of it and was ready to give her such a surprise on her birthday.

The one who truly cares about her, the one who truly cares about her, the one who tries hard to warm her heart, Chika Tachibana.

The sour taste surged up to the tip of her nose again, and she sniffed hard. Warm tears welled up in her eyes, but Guanyue Zhenling was unaware of it for a moment.

How could she say "I don't like" to the girl in front of her, whose smile moved her to tears?

The only words are tears, smiles and joy——

“I love it the most!”

I like it the most. This moment is definitely the most honest moment for Kanzuki Malin.

Everyone was happy about this, but "accidents" arose one after another.

"Yeah, yeah, that's right, but I like Manabu the most, so Manabu also likes me the most, so..."

Saying these slightly doubtful words with a faint smile, after the birthday party, Chika Tachibana took out something she had prepared long ago from behind the sofa.

Well, that could probably be said to be...

The real gift, part two?

ps: Phew, the reposting and minor revisions end here. From now on, it will be a completely new chapter. Please stay tuned!

Chapter 92: The Third Gift

For the first time since her mother's death, she met someone who truly cared about her, someone who could be her mother. It was the first time she truly fell in love with someone. It was the first time so many people she loved gathered together to hold a birthday party for her. It was the first time...

The interweaving of so many firsts and the continuous accumulation of beautiful things should have created more beauty, but why?

It was clearly enough to stir her heart, and she was clearly satisfied. However, Chika Tachibana, this despicable and cunning girl who had seduced her but not married her, still wanted more and more to please her, and more and more to occupy her budding love.

In addition to the birthday party, there was another carefully prepared real gift. Kanzuki Manling's eyes were fixed on every move of Chika Tachibana who walked to the sofa and was about to propose something, and bursts of colorful colors flashed across her eyes.

"Masuzu, come closer and close your eyes."

"What? So mysterious."

She spoke in a proud and arrogant manner, showing a little reluctance and impatience, but physically, Kanzuki Malin took honest steps and quickly walked to the place designated by Tachibana Chika and closed her eyes.

Then she heard the sound of footsteps, followed by the sound of a sofa being moved.

This is, what to do?

She was just wondering, but the next moment, her whole body was thrown back by the impact and fell into the sofa.

As for his arms, there was a soft object pressing against them, furry and fluffy.

I don't know what it is, but it's obviously not Chika Tachibana.

Guanyue Zhenling couldn't help but feel lost.

Although she knew it was wishful thinking, she had indeed had such a wishful thinking. She wished that if she closed her eyes, Chika Tachibana would throw herself into her arms, hug her tightly, and tell her in front of everyone without any hesitation or shyness:

"Mansuzu, the other gift is me. Are you happy? Are you joyful? Do you want to eat the cake first, or me first?"

Of course I would choose to eat you first.

Although she knew it was a dream, when she closed her eyes, Kanzuki Shinrin still answered in such a self-indulgent way.

So, now, what exactly is this big furry thing pressing down on my body?

Thinking that it was time for her to open her eyes, Guanyue Zhenling opened her eyes and met the warm face of Tachibana Chika, and her gaze met Tachibana Chika's bright eyes.
