How can my simulation be a real love?

"Xiao Xiang, do you know Ming?"

Click.

Toyokawa Shoko's steps suddenly faltered for a moment.

She seemed somewhat surprised to hear this name from Takamatsu Akari.

"I'm... forming a band with Ming."

Gao Songdeng raised his eyes, and a hint of determination gradually appeared in his deep, dazzling amber pupils.

In any case, we cannot escape it.

Ming wouldn't want to see himself running away.

“I had a lot of fun with everyone in CRYCHIC, but it was because of Ming that I was able to muster up the courage to form a new band, so this time I don’t want to give up no matter what.”

"I want to be in a band with everyone for the rest of my life..."

Turning her back to Takamatsu Akari, Toyokawa Shoko gripped the strap of her shoulder bag tightly, her lips pursed and brows furrowed, as if she were forcibly suppressing the emotions that surged up in her heart, making her feel abandoned by the whole world.

"I also want to say to Xiaoxiang, I'm sorry..."

After saying this, Takamatsu Akari slowly raised her deep and gentle amber eyes.

Xiangzi left CRYCHIC because she thought she was too bad as the lead singer. She wanted to find a chance to apologize to Xiangzi, even if Xiangzi didn't accept it.

"Don't... involve me anymore."

Toyokawa Shoko's voice seemed to tremble slightly.

After saying those words, she didn't hesitate any longer and immediately strode towards the entrance of Haneoka High School.

Until the figure completely disappeared.

……

[Added Simulated Object - Motoyo Nagasaki]

Because the simulation of Nijigasaki just ended, there is an extra spot available for a new simulation subject.

Who knew that this woman would actually come to the school gate to wait for him, and the moment she saw Nagasaki Motoyo, she immediately turned her into a new simulation subject.

"Coming to the school gate to find me is a bit too conspicuous, isn't it, Miss Su Shi?"

As he walked down the street, Kazami Naruto's expression remained somewhat subtle. He had initially thought that Nagasaki Motoyo was probably waiting for him at the agreed-upon coffee shop, but who knew that she would actually come to the school gate to wait for him.

This left him with absolutely no chance to escape.

"I just happened to have plenty of time~"

"Excuse me, did I disturb you?"

Nagasaki Motoyo's face showed a hint of apology, and her tone of voice was almost deliberately raised, using a slightly sharp yet incredibly sweet voice to respond. Her smile, which was so perfect that it was hard not to make people want to laugh.

"What if someone mistakes you for my girlfriend?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Nagasaki Motoyo, carrying her schoolbag in both hands, chuckled softly with a gentle smile on her face.

Before she knew it, she had arrived at the place she had arranged to meet. It was a cafe that she occasionally came to with her friends. Because the drinks and desserts there were delicious, it was a perfect place for the ladies of Tsukimori to chat.

She had made a reservation before coming here.

A glint of light flashed in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes when he saw Kazami Naruto beside him.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Resurrect, My CRYCHIC! [5k]

"What would you like to drink, Ming-sang? We agreed before we came that it would be my treat~"

Nagasaki Motoyo sat by the window in the cafe, her already delicate and gentle face softened with a touch of tenderness.

"No need, I was just joking."

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow slightly.

He did send a joking reply on Line like "I'll come if you treat me," but that was usually directed at some blue-haired scumbag woman who owed him money and wouldn't pay it back.

Normally, he wouldn't choose to let someone else treat him.

Of course, if the opponent is the ex-wife number one, then that's a different story.

"No way~ We already agreed on this, right?"

"Since I've decided to treat everyone, Ming-sang doesn't need to worry too much."

Nagasaki Motoyo chuckled as she fiddled with her fingers, her expression remaining largely unchanged.

Kazami Naruto, unable to resist her insistence, could only give up.

Kazami Mei rarely goes to other coffee shops. After all, he is the head barista at 'Rabbit House', and the coffee he brews himself is several levels better than that of other coffee shops, especially since it is sold at a particularly high price elsewhere.

Kazami Naruto hesitated for a moment after taking the menu, his gaze sweeping over it casually.

Nagasaki Motoyo seemed to keenly sense Kazami Naru's thoughts, so she naturally clapped her hands lightly and spoke slowly with a gentle smile on her face: "Nari-san, would you like to try some black tea?"

"black tea?"

"Black tea tastes great too! And like coffee, it can relieve fatigue and refresh you! Since we're already here... why not give it a try?"

Seeing the brown-haired beauty in front of him making such an enthusiastic recommendation, Kazami Mei nodded slightly, seemingly unconcerned.

Actually, it doesn't matter to him what kind of drink he wants to have now.

The main purpose was that Nagasaki Motoyo had specially invited him to have a private chat, and Kazami Naru wanted to see what Nagasaki was really up to.

However, he could probably guess what it was.

If it were Su Shi, she would probably find her own reasons, most likely because of Teacher Da Xiang, right?

However, Kazami Mei was a little unsure how much Nagasaki Motoyo knew about her relationship with Toyokawa Shoko. She must have sensed something to come looking for her.

"Hello~ Please have two cups of Darjeeling tea."

As expected of the young lady of Tsukinomori, Nagasaki Motoyo skillfully raised her hand to order from the waiter, and her gentle, soothing smile made people instinctively want to rely on her.

After Nagasaki Motoyo finished ordering from the waiter, Kazami Mei decided not to continue beating around the bush with her.

While waiting for his hot tea, he decided to get straight to the point.

"Su Shi, did you call me before?"

"I did call, but Naru-san didn't answer, so I didn't bother her anymore." Nagasaki Motoyo still had that gentle smile on her face, and spoke in a sweet tone.

When did Su Shi get my number?

As if she had anticipated Kazami Mei's question, Nagasaki Motoyo gently stroked her smooth brown hair, tilted her head slightly, and smiled as she spoke—

"It was given to me by Aine-chan~"

"I thought it would be easier to contact someone if anything happened, so I asked Aine for her number. Since she also had your number, Naruto-san, I just asked for it too~"

You stinky pink-haired bastard, so it was because of you!

Kazami Mei was puzzled because she hadn't had much interaction with Ms. Nagasaki, so how did she inexplicably get her phone number? Turns out, there was a troublesome 'mole' around her.

"I would like to thank Ming-san once again for making Deng-chan willing to form a new band."

"I didn't do anything. Actually, Deng himself still longed to form a band again, and I just went along with it."

Kazami Mei smiled dismissively at Nagasaki Motoyo's gratitude.

"Mingsang——"

Sitting across from her, Nagasaki Motoyo interlaced her fingers and gently rested the back of her hand against her smooth chin. Her azure eyes were fixed on Kazami Mei's face, as if trying to discern something from those deep black eyes.

“I think I told Mingsang before, right? I used to be in a band with Lixi and Xiaodeng. Back then, we were a ‘community of shared destiny,’ and we were all working hard for the band.”

"But in the end, they disbanded due to some misunderstandings..."

The faint sense of loss and sadness in her tone was genuine. For Nagasaki Motoyo, the importance of 'CRYCHIC' was beyond anyone's imagination, and he was definitely the one who wanted everyone to come back the most right now.

"Isn't it a pity?"

"It's just that we have some disagreements, and we can definitely make up again."

A hint of sadness crept into Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes, and her slightly lowered gaze seemed to unnaturally reveal a faint sense of loss.

"That's true, they'll definitely make up."

Kazami Mei responded in a lukewarm manner.

It could be said that from Nagasaki Motoyo's use of the word 'CRYCHIC', he could roughly guess what this woman's purpose was.

She's now completely focused on how to rebuild CRYCHIC, but in doing so, she's neglecting the feelings of the other members, unaware that their hearts have already drifted apart.

It has to be said that Miss Su Shi really only cares about herself.

In the blink of an eye, two steaming cups of Darjeeling tea were served.

Kazami Mei took a sip of her black tea, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Surprisingly good."

The subtle musky aroma is cleverly blended with the fruity notes of citrus, creating a refreshing yet elegant flavor. The taste is quite different from the gentle and delicate nature of coffee, with a subtle sweetness that leaves a lingering aftertaste in the mouth.

No wonder the young ladies of Tsuki no Mori love drinking this kind of black tea; their taste is indeed quite refined.

"Since I'm always drinking all kinds of coffee, it's nice to try black tea once in a while."

Previously, Kazami Mei rarely drank black tea.

Perhaps because I was in Shimokitazawa and had no choice in the matter, I preferred stimulating drinks like coffee to black tea, which can make me sleepy. However, after trying some black tea today, my impression of it has changed a bit.

"If Naru-san likes it, then that's the best~"

Nagasaki Motoyo still wore a gentle and sweet smile, her slender, beautiful eyes turning into crescent moons with her smile. She also reached out and gently picked up the white porcelain teacup of black tea, but she was clearly somewhat reserved in her actions.

Ultimately, Miss Nagasaki wasn't a real 'rich heiress'.

Although Nagasaki Motoyo, like Toyokawa Shoko before her, studied at a school like Tsukinomori, where young ladies from wealthy families gathered.

However, she suddenly entered the circle of aristocratic young ladies midway through her life. After all, she was not a young lady who had been raised from childhood. In order to avoid being looked at and rejected by others, she constantly imitated the mannerisms and ways of speaking of the people around her during this period.

Despite her considerable efforts, she still fell short of Xiangzi's innate elegance and nobility.

However, Kazami also found this aspect of Nagasaki-san rather endearing.

"Did Su Shi-chan contact me this time just to have some tea?"

"No~"

Nagasaki Motoyo, who was already prepared, took out her phone and showed Kazami Naruto the previous CRYCHIC group photo.

In the photo, Ms. Nagasaki, holding her phone, has a gentle and sweet smile on her face, while behind her is Shoko Toyokawa, whose smile is as bright as the moon. That innocent and carefree smile is a huge contrast to the Shoko that Kazami Mei remembers.

I must say, Teacher Da Xiang used to have a really beautiful smile.

Kazami Mei couldn't help but take a second look.

It was precisely because his gaze lingered on Toyokawa Shoko for a moment longer that a strange glint flashed in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes.

"Actually, Xiao Mu has already told me about the matter between Ming Sang and Xiao Xiang."

Kazami Naru: ?

What could possibly happen between him and Teacher Da Xiang?

Aside from the fact that he got married twice in the simulation, he and Toyokawa Shoko have a completely innocent relationship in real life. Little Wood probably doesn't know what kind of relationship he has with Shoko, because Shoko definitely didn't tell anyone about the part-time job.

Besides, even if Xiao Mu really knew about his relationship with Xiangzi, he wouldn't tell Nagasaki Motoyo.

Unless Little Wood was CPU-bound by Miss Su Shi, then it's really hard to say.

At this moment, Kazami Mei was filled with countless thoughts, but her face remained calm and slightly puzzled, not revealing her inner thoughts on her face.

He realized that Nagasaki Motoyo was trying to trick him into giving her information.

If he accidentally reveals something in his panic, then he'll be in big trouble.

"I do know Toyokawa, but we don't have any special relationship."

Kazami Mei responded in a very calm tone.

Now that things have come to this point, Kazami Mei knows it's impossible for him to lie.
