How can my simulation be a real love?

Ichi Nijika took a deep breath to comfort herself, then reached out her little hand and patted her cheeks hard.

The slight pain gradually brought her back to her senses, and she decided to put the strange dream aside for the time being, since the band's first live performance was about to begin.

As the team leader, she couldn't afford to mess things up at a time like this!

……

On Friday, the long-awaited final exams began.

The classroom, filled with dozens of students, was incredibly quiet. The only sounds were the scratching of pens moving rapidly across the exam papers and the occasional rustling of papers being turned over. The air in the exam room was thick with tension and focus.

Almost everyone focused all their attention on the exam.

However, for Kazami Mei, this exam was already over.

"Eh……"

Goto Ichiri raised her little head and looked at Kazami Naru sitting not far away in shock.

While I was still reading the first half, this guy had already finished the entire test paper. He always said that his grades were just average, that he was just an "ordinary person" with slightly better grades!

Isn't this just a joke on myself?

Goto Ichiri, who was already a little nervous, secretly watched Kazami Naruto. Little did she know that her unintentional little movement had been noticed by him. The other party thought that she was passing on a message to him and suddenly winked in her direction.

"Hum..."

Kazami Mei could certainly guess what Pochi was secretly thinking in the distance.

After all, her thoughts were almost entirely written on her face, making them crystal clear to him.

In the past few days of intensive pre-exam training, Kazami Mei has handed over all her hard-earned study skills to Boqi, and even made her do the test papers many times. Now she can only rely on her own efforts.

All Kazami Mei could do was pray for her.

However, unless you fail too many courses, you shouldn't have to be kept by the school for make-up classes.

"..."

After handing in his test paper without a word, Kazami Mei quickly left the classroom through the back door.

Because he was busy with mock exams yesterday and then immediately took the exam today, he hadn't checked his phone much these past two days. As a result, when he opened Line, a message popped up immediately.

[Nagasaki Motoyo: Hello, Naruto-san~ I'm Nagasaki Motoyo!]

Kazami Naru: ?

Before he could react, messages kept popping up one after another.

[Nagasaki Motoyo: Is Naruto-san busy with music arrangement? Please reply if you see this message, okay?]

[Nagasaki Motoyo: I'm so sorry, I think I bothered you a bit?]

[Nagasaki Motoyo: Actually, I have some questions I want to ask Naru-san~ I just don't know if you have time... I'd like to talk to you alone.]

What's the situation?

Kazami Mei was stunned as she watched the messages popping up on her phone.

Upon closer inspection, there were even unfamiliar phone messages from unknown numbers. He had hardly given his phone number to anyone, and those who did know it had already saved it in their contacts.

As for the unfamiliar call, he felt it was from Nagasaki Motoyo.

How did she find out her phone number?

Although Kazami Mei didn't know why Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly contacted her, or how she knew her phone number, it seemed that Motoyo was definitely planning to do something.

We still need to be more or less careful.

Although Su Shi's hidden goal is to 'revive CRYCHIC' and she wants to use some tricks to get rid of the 'obstacles', she is essentially a very kind and innocent girl.

It's just that her personality is a little bit serious.

After hesitating for a moment, Kazami Mei decided to reply to the message.

[Want to be fertilizer?: Sorry, I was busy preparing for final exams so I didn't check my phone.]

[Want to be fertilizer?: What's wrong, Nagasaki-san?]

Kazami Mei was still somewhat wary.

For less important matters, a simple message on Line is usually sufficient.

Nagasaki Motoyo wasn't an exception like the eccentric ex-wife, Miss No. 1. Her personality was quite stable, so if she wanted to talk to him alone, it was obviously something important.

Surely it's not because Miss Su Shi has a crush on him and is planning to confess her feelings to him in private?

However, it's really hard to say. After all, in the simulations conducted by both Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Aine, Nagasaki Motoyo, who should have had the most problems, seemed to have performed quite normally, which made Kazami Mei feel a little strange.

[Nagasaki Motoyo: Motoyo, you can just call me Motoyo]

He received a reply less than half a minute after sending the message.

Such a rapid response was astonishing, and one couldn't help but wonder if Nagasaki Motoyo on the other end of the phone was secretly watching the screen.

[Nagasaki Motoyo: It's not really anything important, but I have some personal questions I'd like to ask Naru-san. It's a bit inconvenient to talk on Line, so I would really appreciate it if you could keep me company!]

[Nagasaki Motoyo: Of course, it's no problem if I don't have time! I'm so sorry to bother you.]

A polite request that doesn't feel distant, and a proactive apology that's hard to refuse.

Most people wouldn't refuse her request, let alone Kazami Naru, who was in the same band as him. So after thinking it over, Kazami Naru decided to agree and meet up with Nagasaki Motoyo later.

He was ready to see what the other party intended to say to him.

[Want to use it as fertilizer? That's no problem, let's schedule a time later.]

[Nagasaki Motoyo: I think the term exams at Haneoka High School are almost over, right? In that case, let's find a cafe near Haneoka later~ I know a pretty good one!]

Want to be fertilizer? I'll definitely come if you treat me.

Seeing the message marked as 'read' on the glowing phone screen, Nagasaki Motoyo, having successfully achieved her first goal, smiled warmly across her already gentle face.

Her initial anxiety seemed to have eased considerably.

Nagasaki Motoyo's long, slightly wavy brown hair gently draped over her high, full chest, and her right index finger unconsciously began to lightly twirl the smooth ends of her hair around her fingertip.

The girl's bright blue eyes stared intently at the phone screen with an unusual light, her head slightly lowered, as if she were seriously thinking about something.

"Hey! Who is Suze-chan chatting with? And why is she smiling so gently!"

"Could it be his boyfriend? Really?!"

Saigyouji, who had appeared beside her at some point, suddenly exclaimed to Nagasaki Motoyo. Her originally gentle face immediately showed a hint of panic, and her fingers began to flutter slightly.

Perhaps because it was rare to see Su Shi show such a panicked expression, her other friends around her couldn't help but start teasing her.

"No, just friends I play in a band with..." Nagasaki Motoyo gradually returned to her usual self, explaining with a warm smile on her face.

This smile has appeared countless times in front of his friends.

"What? I thought Su Shi finally had a boyfriend. I was really curious about what kind of boy Su Shi likes!"

"Eh~ I never even thought about that kind of thing."

Xianxun⒏Ⅰ⒋Jiuling⒢ Wife and uncle

She lightly flicked her fingers and began skillfully echoing the conversations of others.

Motoyo Nagasaki is a person who is very good at pleasing others.

Perhaps because her once warm and happy family had completely disappeared due to the breakdown of her parents' relationship, Nagasaki Motoyo, who was very mature from a young age, learned to handle her own affairs.

Because her mother was often away on business trips, Nagasaki Motoyo was always alone in her empty "home," and she had to overcome everything on her own, from laundry and cooking to other difficulties in life.

She was already used to it.

Until the moment she discovered that she was someone her mother could rely on.

It was the first time she had ever felt that she was 'needed' by someone.

Whether she is 'needed' by her mother at home or 'needed' by her friends at school, she feels genuinely at ease and comfortable the moment she feels needed.

Over time, in order to be 'needed', she learned to cater to others.

However, excessively catering to the 'needs' of others can also cause her to gradually neglect her own 'desires'.

Living in an environment that constantly caters to others has made her increasingly exhausted, until the moment 'CRYCHIC' and Shoko Toyokawa appeared, Nagasaki Motoyo was once again 'needed' by others.

But this time, it's different from before.

She gradually felt a deep sense of happiness and joy in CRYCHIC's life, a feeling of having a 'place to belong' that she couldn't even feel at home or with her mother.

She poured almost all her emotions into 'CRYCHIC'—

"Su Shi-chan, do you want to go play together later?"

"I'm so sorry! I have to take care of band-related matters today, and I already have appointments with other people, so I can't be with everyone today..."

Without hesitation, Nagasaki Motoyo declined her friend's invitation with a hint of apology on her face.

As noble ladies themselves, they were not unreasonable people. Upon hearing that Su Shi needed to deal with the band's affairs, they immediately expressed their understanding and even said that they hoped Su Shi could introduce her band members to them next time.

Nagasaki Motoyo, relieved to have been forgiven, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Having finally found an opportunity to find out Xiangzi's whereabouts, and in order to reconcile everyone in 'CRYCHIC', she was not going to sit idly by any longer. She was even willing to do anything!

……

The final exams at Haneoka High School were soon completely over.

Because Kazami Mei had arranged to meet Nagasaki Motoyo at the nearest coffee shop in advance, she left school after telling Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari, and headed to the coffee shop for the appointment.

However, Miss Aine felt somewhat puzzled at this moment.

"What's Mingming up to today? Is she going to work?"

"Seriously... I was planning to invite Kita-chan and the others to have a celebration party for the exams today! Now that Meimei can't come, what's the point?"

Chihaya Aine carried her shoulder bag and guitar, her tone tinged with melancholy.

Why does Kazami Mei always act unpredictably?

She's such a pretty girl, and she's made it so obvious. If he just formally invites her out on a date, and if the atmosphere is good and they get a little more intimate, it'll only take half a month for their relationship to heat up rapidly and they'll become a couple!

"I have to make him buy me ice cream next time!"

Seemingly noticing Chihaya Aine's slight displeasure, Takamatsu Akari, her delicate brows furrowed, hesitated for a moment before reaching out to tug at Chihaya Aine's sleeve, speaking in a somewhat timid tone—

"Aine-chan, summer vacation is coming soon."

"We'll definitely have more time together then."

Xiao Bideng's comforting words brought a glimmer of surprise to the bright, light gray eyes of the pink-haired boy.

Yup!

Come to think of it, isn't summer vacation about to start?

Once Kazami Mei finishes up with the band's live performance, he'll definitely start preparing for the band's live performance here, and then he'll definitely focus more attention on himself!

With plenty of free time during summer vacation, isn't this the perfect opportunity to sneak away?

Most importantly, it can restrict the actions of other fox spirits to some extent!

Those dangerous women who were far away couldn't find a chance to get close, while Xiao Bideng and Shiina Ritsuki, who were right next to him, were completely under his control and had no chance to compete with him.

If all goes well, summer vacation will fast forward to...

"Dengdeng! Thank you~"

Miss Aiyin, with a slightly delicate voice, happily hugged the adorable little lamp.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, Takamatsu Akari didn't seem to react much when she was being hugged. Instead, she stared in a certain direction with a puzzled look on her face. It was only then that Chihaya Aine suddenly realized that something was amiss.

Little lamp, what are you looking at?
