How can my simulation be a real love?

This is Hongxia, who is usually the gentlest and most sunny person. Even her lively smile has become somewhat gloomy at this moment.

"It's alright, it's alright! But the problems with this performance were still my fault, so please don't take it too seriously!"

Ichi Nijika waved her hand with a smile, putting on a smile that was no different from usual.

"This isn't Ijichi-senpai's fault at all; it's me, as the lead vocalist, who has the biggest problem!"

"The guitar playing was full of mistakes, and the singing kept going wrong..."

Kita Ikuyo's eyes were tightly closed, and her voice seemed to tremble slightly.

However, at this moment, Nijika, who was best at comforting others, was also apologizing. This made Yamada Ryo, who had no expression, stare intently in Kazami Mei's direction and give him a meaningful nod.

"But it's okay! Everyone, go back and get some rest today. We'll hold a proper 'reflection meeting' later!"

"I need to practice hard so that the next live performance will be a success!"

Ichi Nijika clenched her little pink fist tightly and smiled at everyone.

Because I am the 'leader' who formed this band.

Seeing the other band members around her so dejected, Ichiji Nijika couldn't possibly show any unease or negative emotions in front of them; instead, she had to comfort everyone properly.

"come on!"

Hongxia happily raised her little fist, and her radiance seemed to dispel the surrounding darkness.

Kita Ikuyo, who was initially worried and sad, was also affected by this. With tears in her eyes, she nodded to Nijika and then, after being comforted by Pochi, took her leave first.

"Liang, you'd better hurry back, or it might rain harder later!"

Despite seeing the smile on Nijika's face, Yamada Ryo, carrying the bass guitar, didn't say anything. He calmly turned around and left, only stealing a glance in Kazami Mei's direction before leaving.

"call……"

Ichiji Nijika sighed, then turned to look at Kazami Mei with a slight upturn of her lips.

Only Kazami Mei noticed that the girl's fingers, which were behind her back, were trembling slightly.

[You noticed that Ichiji Nijika was in a very low mood, and as her boyfriend, you knew you needed to comfort her, so you immediately went up to her and hugged her without hesitation.]

[Such a gentle and ordinary movement instantly broke her defenses.]

She buried her face in your chest, sobbing softly, her tears soaking your chest.

After a long while, her mood improved slightly. Then, Hongxia immediately reverted to her usual lively and cheerful self, and with a very serious expression, she told you that she was fine after crying and that you didn't need to worry about her anymore.

Her seemingly relaxed demeanor is the most suspicious thing, making you even more concerned about Ichiji Nijika.

[Time begins to move]

[She would occasionally cancel the dates you often agreed to. Every time you went to Ichichi's house, you would see her practicing the drums diligently. The next time you met, you noticed that her soft palms were worn raw, but she still had a chocolate bar in her mouth, showing a playful and cute expression.]

Perhaps due to the intense extra practice, Ichiji Nijika would frequently make mistakes after band practice, and each time she made a mistake, her pressure would increase even more.

Every time you try to comfort her and tell her to relax, she smiles and says she's perfectly fine.

You've noticed that Hongxia seems quite confused and anxious right now.

"This is trouble."

In real life, Kazami Mei frowned deeply.

He truly never expected things to turn out this way.

I originally thought that this Archangel simulation would be a smooth and easy bonus level.

Little did anyone know that the biggest danger would arise after she and Ichiki Nijika became a couple.

Hongxia is in a somewhat dangerous situation right now.

If this problem is not resolved quickly, all the previous efforts in this simulation may be rendered useless.

Kazami Mei stopped daydreaming and focused on continuing the simulation.

As a member of Ijichi Nijika's family, Ijichi Seika naturally noticed her younger sister's unusual behavior. As a sister-complex girl, she would show a cold and stubborn attitude, but beneath her sharp tongue lies a kind heart that cares for her younger sister.

She believes her younger sister needs appropriate guidance and instruction.

[But her words were clearly not enough, so Ijichi Hoshika took the initiative to approach you. She believed that only Kazami Mei, as her 'boyfriend' and childhood friend, was the person Nijika trusted the most and who could persuade her the most.]

[You also think that what Ijichi Hoshika said makes a lot of sense, but you need to first think about what attitude you should take when talking to Nijika.]

What is your decision regarding this?

[1. I can't keep watching Hongxia continue to be sad, so I keep comforting and praising her as usual.]

2. Don't always protect her; occasionally, you need to give her a lecture, which is unusual for you.

3. Taking her out to change her mood might be more effective than having a heart-to-heart talk.

4. Virtual Reality, Personal Simulation

Sure enough, another option appeared.

The options that pop up this time are very important and may determine the outcome of this simulation.

Kazami Mei had no choice but to take it seriously.

At present, the third option can basically be ruled out, because in his opinion, the problems that Hongxia is facing cannot be solved by going out to change her mood.

That leaves two options...

"How do I choose?"

Kazami Mei fell silent.

In this situation, every option is crucial.

A careful choice is necessary.

The first option seems more reasonable at present, and can give Hongxia the strength to rebuild her confidence to some extent.

The second option is 'an unconventional preaching,' which seems more like Ijichi Seika's approach.

Kazami Mei had offered comfort and encouragement many times before, but this only made Nijika more dependent on him. This time, the problem couldn't be solved with just a few words of comfort and unlimited protection.

Perhaps, appropriate reprimands would be more effective.

After careful consideration, Kazami Mei chose the first option.

Although Hoshika feels that Nijika needs some pressure right now, Kazami Ming thinks that as always, it's enough to just give her comfort and support. He believes that Nijika's strong character will allow her to build up her confidence on her own.

[At Ijichi Seika's urging, you decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ijichi Nijika.]

[Recently, Ichika Nijika seemed to be looking a little unwell. When she heard that you wanted to talk to her alone, she forced a tired yet heartbreakingly sunny smile and happily agreed.]

As usual, she held the rag doll you gave her in her arms and sat down carefully.

You notice that Hongxia seems a little worried about what you might say. Her worried yet adorable appearance makes your heart ache, and without hesitation, you gently pull her into your arms.

……

“Hongxia, I think you need to take a good rest recently.”

Kazami Mei gently embraced Ijichi Nijika in her arms. The already delicate girl hugged him back tightly, her soft, pale golden hair, like a work of art, shimmering under the dim light.

"No, I know what I'm doing."

Seemingly enjoying Kazami Mei's embrace and comfort, Iji Chi Niji Natsumi shyly narrowed her beautiful eyes.

His aura was so captivating that it was almost addictive; the closer you got, the more it felt like catnip, making it impossible to leave. If it weren't for her sister having to call her home every day, she would love to sleep here with him every night.

"It's okay if you don't practice as hard. The problem last time was just because I was too nervous. As long as I adjust my mindset next time, there won't be any problems."

Faced with Kazami Mei's meticulous care, Ijichi Nijika suddenly felt somewhat depressed and lost.

He has taken such good care of me since I was a child, and he has always taken care of me no matter what problems I encounter. I can enjoy his care without doing anything. Isn't that a bit too cunning?

Even confessing one's feelings is—

Because she was worried that she wasn't good enough, she hadn't dared to confess her feelings to him all these years.

In the end, he had to take the initiative.

If other outstanding girls come along in the future, will Ming abandon him?

Just thinking about this possibility made her nose sting a little. She had wanted to take things further with him because of her nervousness and fear, and he had noticed that little bit of feeling.

Ultimately, does someone like her really deserve his love?

The feelings between the two seem unequal.

……

[Nijika Ichichi hugged the doll, a hint of sadness on her face.]

[You seem to notice that Nijika's mood is becoming increasingly downcast, and feeling a little panicked, you immediately start to comfort her. But Nijika quickly returns to normal, flashing a bright and cheerful smile.]

She became increasingly focused on her training, even setting aside time in the evenings to practice drums and rhythm. You noticed that her schedule was affecting her health, so you decided to let her get some rest.

However, when faced with your request, Ichiji Nijika seemed somewhat at a loss.

The closer she gets to you, the more she feels the gap between you.

The gap is so large that it can even lead to despair.

[You found an opportunity to ask her to stop practicing temporarily. Feeling suppressed and wronged, Ichiji Nijika quickly stood up and then ran away from your house crying.]

Even the doll you gave her accidentally fell to the ground; you were caught off guard by this unexpected situation.

Faced with the escape of Nijigasaki, you decide—

[1. Chase after her; we can't let Hongxia run away alone.]

2. Don't chase after her; at this moment, it's even more important to let Hongxia calm down.

3. First, contact the others and ask them to keep an eye on Hongxia's whereabouts.

4. Virtual Reality, Personal Simulation

"Hongxia ran away?"

Not to mention that he couldn't react in the simulation, even the real Kazami Naruto was a little slow to react.

Kazami Mei truly hadn't expected that Nijika's mother would have emotional problems after he gently comforted her.

Just thinking about this made Kazami Naruto feel numb. He stared at the options in front of him, slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath to adjust his mindset, and when he opened his eyes again, he had made up his mind.

There's no need to hesitate about this option; no matter what, we can't let Hongxia run away alone!

Choose one!

You immediately decided to chase after her and catch her as she tried to escape.

Realizing she couldn't leave, Ichiji Nijika's eyes were red and swollen, and she was somewhat at a loss. After a moment of stalemate, her agitated emotions seemed to gradually calm down, and she put on that somewhat sad smile again and hugged you tightly.

0⑧⑨○⑨

"Ming, I want to go back and calm down first..."

Hearing Hongxia's voice, hoarse from crying, you felt a pang of pain in your heart. But in this situation, you could only try to prevent Hongxia from becoming too emotional. You suppressed your worry and escorted her to the door of the Ijichi family's house, waving goodbye to her as usual.

However, things often take a turn for the worse.

When you see Ichiji Nijika again, she has shed her previous sadness and disappointment, and now she has a bright and beautiful smile as always. However, you can clearly feel that she has become more serious, as if she has returned to her normal state.

Perhaps because of this experience, Ichiji Nijika realized that there is a big gap between you and her.

It should be said that you are as different as heaven and earth.

Compared to you, a world-class Impressionist genius, she, who even messed up her debut live performance, is utterly incomparable. She feels like she's desperately trying to embrace the warmth of the sun, only to be constantly burned by its scorching flames because she's not good enough.

After careful consideration, she approached you alone again.

Ijichi Nijika broke up with you.

[Ichi Nijika believes that she is still too naive. Before, she was like pieces of glass that would shatter at the slightest touch, only being carefully protected by you. She knows very well that she is not qualified to stand by your side right now.]

She never thought it was your fault; she just hadn't tried hard enough.

She decided that when she was good enough, she would come back to hug you with her head held high.

Time flies—
