How can my simulation be a real love?

Mikasa smiled and thanked Hachiman Kairin for providing the information.

"You're welcome."

"I have to rush back, so I'll be going now."

Hachiman Kairin simply nodded lightly to Misumi Hatsuka with a calm expression, then casually picked up her bass and strode towards her home.

I'm so tired, so alone

Even though she showed no outward change in emotion or expression, Miss Hailing, the "mercenary," still harbored some suspicion towards Chuhua.

After Hachiman Kairin's figure completely disappeared, Mikasa Hatsuka slowly lowered her baseball cap.

I'm so tired, so alone

"...Kazami?"

Whether it was Gao Songdeng before or Xiangzi now, their relationship with him seems somewhat ambiguous.

It was precisely because Kazami Mei's appearance was so deceptive that Mitsumi Hatsuka's vigilance began to increase. After all, people who play in rock bands tend to have some of the characteristics that fit the 'stereotype'.

That 'Kazami' might just be like that.

Mikasa Hatsuka hesitated, wondering whether she should tell Toyokawa Shoko about this directly.

However, after thinking it over carefully, I decided to calm myself down and gather more information before making any further plans.

Just then, Hachiman Kairin mentioned that Kazami Mei was forming a band with Shiina Tatsuki, so Qian decided to find an opportunity to probe Shiina and see if he could get more information about Kazami Mei from her.

……

7 PM —

Having parted ways with the beautiful and wonderful teacher Sho, Kazami Mei is walking back to her cozy little apartment.

buzzing...

The sudden vibration of his phone caught Kazami Mei's attention. He calmly took out the bento box he was carrying.

I initially thought it was a group chat message from the "End Band," but it turned out to be a private message from Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo.

What's wrong with this woman?

Kazami raised an eyebrow slightly, but still decisively swiped the screen to open the Line chat window.

[Nagasaki Motoyo: I am deeply sorry for what happened today. I am really sorry for doing such a thing without authorization]

[Nagasaki Motoyo: If there's anything I can do, please let me know.]

[Nagasaki Motoyo: Naruto-san, you're angry, aren't you? After all, it's normal for you to be angry...]

After Kazami turned on his phone, the flood of messages immediately caught him off guard. In addition, since the Line app displays "message read," his phone started buzzing incessantly after he finished reading the messages.

[Nagasaki Motoyo: Naruto-san, are you watching?]

Upon seeing this reply, Kazami Mei felt a chill run down her spine.

Although I really wanted to just turn off my phone and pretend I didn't see it, that damn Line app would show "read," and once I opened the message, Kazami Naruto couldn't keep pretending to be dead.

Ms. Nagasaki on the other end of the line replied immediately after realizing that he had already seen the message.

He didn't even want to imagine what the Nagasaki lady would do if he saw her and deliberately didn't reply.

After hesitating for a moment, Kazami Mei slowly began to tap the screen.

【Want to be fertilizer? Sorry, I was working and didn't see the message】

[Want to be fertilizer?: I'm not angry about what happened today. If I put myself in your shoes, I can understand how you feel, Su Shi. If it were me, I might also be worried about friends I haven't been able to contact. So I hope Su Shi won't worry about it.]

Miss Nagasaki, who usually responds incredibly quickly, seemed to hesitate strangely this time.

However, before Kazami Mei could have any doubts, she immediately replied to the message.

[Nagasaki Motoyo: Naruto-san, thank you]

[Want to be fertilizer?: It's okay. I've learned a bit about CRYCHIC from what you said today, and I think there must be some misunderstanding between you two.]

[Want to be fertilizer? Su Shi, if you have any questions later, you can come to me again.]

[Want to be fertilizer?: We're bandmates, and from now on, we'll be a community with a shared destiny, playing music together.]

This time, Miss Su Shi didn't seem to reply again, but he had already explained things so clearly and even offered some words of comfort, so even Miss Su Shi should be able to put her mind at ease.

"Phew~ It should be fine by now."

Upon seeing the message from the vegetarian lady, Kazami Mei slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to put his phone away, a crystal-clear drop of water suddenly landed in the center of the screen.

The originally dark and heavy clouds gradually began to churn, and the oppressive air, accompanied by the fall of a drop of water, seemed to open a veil of nothingness.

The next second, the ground beneath my feet pounded rapidly and dully like drumbeats, the wet and cold touch sending chills down my spine, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered by a dark curtain of water.

Kazami Naruto, who had been prepared all along, smiled smugly and casually took an umbrella out of his bag.

"Thank goodness, the bento I worked so hard to get was almost ruined."

Kazami Mei's tone carried a hint of relief.

Holding an umbrella, he walked slowly towards his small apartment, his steps heavy with raindrops on the asphalt. As his pace quickened, the surrounding environment became blurry, and all he could hear was the crisp sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella.

At the moment he turned the corner, Kazami Naru seemed to notice a bright silvery-white glint in the corner of his eye.

"Ok?"

A strange look appeared in Kazami's eyes, and then he immediately glanced at the eaves of the shopping street, which was already closed.

A white-haired girl was seen squatting under the eaves, soaking wet, to avoid the rain.

She was wearing a loose black short-sleeved shirt with gray and white arm sleeves. The wet clothes outlined the girl's silhouette. Her wet, silvery-white hair clung to her cheeks and the back of her neck, and the wet droplets made her already fair skin appear even whiter and more rosy.

Rainwater dripped slowly from the hem of her clothes onto the ground, and the small puddles that accumulated there were like clean mirrors, reflecting the girl's playful and mysterious heterochromatic golden-blue eyes.

Isn't this the 'stray cat' in the band?

Seeing her soaked to the bone, Kazami Mei immediately understood what was going on.

It must be because he was wandering around outside late at night, or he lost track of time while playing with stray cats, and before he could even get home, he was caught in this sudden downpour and got soaked to the bone.

Seeing the somewhat disheveled Rakuna, Kazami Mei sighed and stepped forward.

"Lenai, are you alright?"

The words that suddenly came to her ears brought Yoro Nai, whose attention was still focused on the ant colony on the ground, back to her senses.

Upon seeing Kazami Naruto before her, the white-haired cat blinked her incredibly bright heterochromatic eyes, and her already adorable face instantly gained a more beautiful curve.

However, seemingly thinking about how disheveled she looked after being 'attacked' by the rain, she frowned slightly in annoyance.

"It's wet and sticky, and it's uncomfortable."

Just as cats are naturally averse to water, Rakuna, being a cat-like girl, also hates getting wet.

"...Of course it's not comfortable. Staying here in the rain will make you catch a cold."

Of course, Kazami Mei couldn't leave Rakuna alone here.

It's obviously getting late, and Lenai is soaked to the bone from the rain. In this condition, even a slight breeze could give her a high fever and a severe cold.

"How about I take you home first?"

"...The guitar will get wet."

Kaname shook her head, looking somewhat troubled. At that moment, Kazami also looked at the guitar case that she was protecting behind her.

Ms. Lena, who always carries her guitar and a box of effects pedals in a trolley, was caught in a sudden downpour without an umbrella. She could probably only barely keep her guitar from getting wet.

Because it was Grandma's guitar, she valued it highly.

"This is troublesome..."

Kazami Mei frowned and began to think seriously.

Lenai's guitar bag is indeed of very good quality, but no one knows whether rainwater will get in through the gaps. You know, electric guitars are easily damaged if they get soaked in rain.

If rainwater seeps into the wooden planks, it may cause them to warp or crack.

In this situation, it's not very realistic to drive all the way home to take Lena.

Of course, there is another way.

Kazami Mei's small apartment is very close to here. If we just use an umbrella to protect Rakuna's guitar and take Rakuna home to avoid the rain, the current problem can be solved perfectly.

The problem is, how can he just bring people home like that?

"no solution anymore."

Kazami Mei took out her phone expressionlessly and dialed Maji Rinko's number.

As RiNG's most reliable staff member, Rinrinko seems to be the one taking care of Rakuna every time. I heard that she is also very familiar with Rakuna's family. If it were her, she might be able to help inform Rakuna's family.

"Hello, is this Rinrinko-nee?"

……

After a while.

"Well then, Kazami-kun, I'll be leaving Rakuna in your care tonight~"

On the other end of the phone, Rinko Maji spoke with a lively and playful tone.

She was indeed very close to Rakuna's family, and said that she would explain the situation to Rakuna's family on behalf of Kazami Naruto. After getting their consent, she simply asked Kazami Naruto to take care of Rakuna tonight.

"Rinrinko-nee, you're not serious, are you?"

"Of course it's true! Xiao Le Nai is a member of your band, how can you bear to let her travel so far home alone?" Rin Rinko's voice came from the phone, seemingly taking it all for granted.

Are her family members at ease?

"I just made the call, and it's perfectly fine!"

No, isn't that a bit too much of a relief?

Le Nai is a girl, after all. Are her family really that at ease with her?

"..."

Looking at the phone that had already been hung up, Kazami Naruko looked at the white-haired 'wildcat' leaning against the wall with a complicated expression.

Since things have come to this, let's just consider it as taking a cat home.

"Lena, would you like to stay at my place tonight?"

"want."

Chapter Thirty: Perhaps, it will be just like it is now. [7 words]

"Oh~"

Miss Rakuna, who was visiting Kazami Naru's house for the first time, looked around curiously. However, because she was still wet all over, the crystal-clear water droplets shone brightly in the sunlight and dripped onto the floor from her silver hair.

The stray cat was still tightly clutching its instrument bag containing its electric guitar with its tiny paws.

Fortunately, thanks to the protection it received along the way, the violin case did not develop any water stains.

"Lenai, go take a shower right away. You'll easily catch a cold if you're soaked."

Kazami Naruto's once jet-black, shoulder-length hair was now somewhat disheveled. The ponytail that had been neatly tied behind her head had come undone at some point, and the black hair was also a little wet. Her black and white jacket was also soaked with a large dark stain.

Because he only had one umbrella, he had to make a small sacrifice to prevent his guitar from getting wet.

"Ah."

Miss Renai, with her cute cat-like lips pursed and a slightly 'amusing' smile on her face, gently placed her guitar on the wooden floor. Then, she followed Kazami Naruto to the bathroom, where she unabashedly prepared to take off her already soaked clothes—

Kazami Mei reacted quickly enough, closing the door without saying a word.

It wasn't until the sound of running water came from the bathroom that Kazami Mei looked at her completely soaked bento box with a headache. Even though she had brought an umbrella and carefully held it in her arms, she still couldn't escape her fate.

If it's been soaked in water, then it's definitely not edible anymore.
