How can my simulation be a real love?

Goodbye, my super cheap pork tenderloin natto bibimbap for 288 yuan.

"The stray cat I picked up probably hasn't eaten dinner either. Looks like I'll have to figure something out myself tonight." Kazami immediately changed out of his soaking wet coat and casually wiped the water droplets from his hair with a clean white towel.

Without a bento box, Kazami Mei had to figure out how to cook for two, so she had to start cooking herself. She opened the refrigerator and began scanning it with her deep black eyes, looking for any usable supplies.

"Ok?"

Kazami Mei, who was searching everywhere for clues, suddenly found a few eggs hidden in a corner, as well as a bright red tomato that she had bought on sale. After opening the freezer, she also found the leftover chicken from the bento she had made for Xiaoxiang. Her eyes lit up a little more.

Come to think of it, he hasn't actually used any new 'skills' yet.

After Aine's "Love Cooking" skill and Nijika's "Loving Wife Cooking" skill were successfully combined, they became one of Kazami Naru's two precious Lv4 skills. Logically speaking, a skill that has successfully reached Lv4 is already at the master level.

Kazami Mei didn't have much of a concept of this.

After all, his other Lv4 skill, 'Endurance,' doesn't seem to have any effect other than 'Damage Resistance'.

Hopefully, when he reaches Lv5, he can elbow the truck flying with one blow when he gets hit by a car again.

Gently shaking his head to clear his mind of those chaotic thoughts, Kazami Mei took out all the ingredients and gathered them together.

"In that case, let's give it a try—"

……

Level 4 skills are not just about taste; they also include a comprehensive improvement in knife skills and culinary knowledge. Kazami Mei only glanced at the tomato in front of her, and her body seemed to instinctively grip the cleaver with an extremely standard posture and quickly cut it into pieces.

For Kazami Naru, cooking is practically an instinct that has become part of his muscles.

A whole chicken breast was quickly cut into uniform pieces in front of him. It was as if he could crack an egg into the oil with one hand without even glancing at it. As the sizzling sound of oil rose, he held the seasoning in his left hand and casually flipped the egg over with his right.

For Kazami Naruto, this LV4 cooking skill was even more impactful than his LV5 drawing skills!

"I'm actually that amazing?" Kazami Mei chuckled and snorted.

Then he picked up the plate again and poured the chopped tomatoes evenly into it. He seemed to feel two slender little hands holding his wrists. Kazami's movements became more skillful, and he could faintly hear the teasing voices of two girls on either side of his body.

"Ming, I'm done washing."

A slightly languid voice suddenly came to his ear, and Kazami Mei subconsciously turned his head to look.

The next second, he turned his head back expressionlessly.

If I look at it one more time, it will explode.

"Get dressed."

This was quite a close call.

If Li Xi, one of the drummers, saw this scene, she would definitely curse him with a cold face, calling him "disgusting" or "scum," and then quickly pick up her phone to call for help. In less than ten minutes, he would be obediently put into the car.

"I have no clothes to change into."

Lena frowned slightly, her cute brows furrowed, her tone tinged with a hint of trouble.

clothing?

It was only then that Kazami Mei realized that there was another very important problem facing him.

That's because he only brought Lena home temporarily and didn't prepare any clothes for her to change into beforehand, which led to the current troublesome situation. Realizing this, he even slowed down his cooking.

No matter what, we can't let her continue wearing that outfit, can we?

"Lena, look in the bedroom drawer. There should be a clean set of pajamas in there, although it might be a little too big..."

"Good~"

Hearing the stray cat's very obedient reply, Kazami Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He focused his attention on the dish in front of him again. The chicken breast, which had been simmering for a while, was already emitting an enticing aroma after the seasoning was added. As the chicken turned a brilliant golden color, he sprinkled the egg mixture evenly over it and then covered the pot with the lid.

Taking advantage of this moment, Kazami Naruto, feeling somewhat uneasy, turned around to look behind him.

"So, did you find it?"

"All right."

Suddenly, a cute little silver-haired head peeked out from the direction of Kazami Naruto's bedroom.

With a slightly 'teasing' smile on her lips, Le Nai walked out in pink slippers. She had changed into a white polka-dot shirt pajama set, which was a bit loose because it was a size too big, and she accidentally revealed one of her smooth, fair shoulders.

This dress looked almost like a skirt on her.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, Le Nai's already fair and delicate skin was replenished with enough moisture, giving it a rosy and hydrated natural glow. As she walked gently, the fragrance of the shower gel gradually filled the surrounding air.

It's clear that Miss Stray Cat herself seems quite satisfied with this.

Except for Kazami Mei, who wasn't entirely satisfied.

"Your hair isn't completely dry, is it?"

Looking at the stray cat whose little head was still a little wet, Kazami Naruto's eyes twitched slightly.

Seeing that the water droplets were about to drip down her hair and onto the floor, he couldn't bear to watch any longer. He immediately grabbed the hairdryer, pressed the cat down onto the chair, and then turned on a gentle warm air to slowly dry her hair.

Miss Stray Cat didn't seem to mind; on the contrary, her gaze seemed to remain fixed on the cooking pot.

"Does it feel hot?"

"Comfortable~"

Because Lena's silver-white hair wasn't very long, the hot air from the hairdryer quickly took away the moisture from her soft white hair, and the originally wet cat had turned back into a fluffy and cute jellyfish head. Her hair was even shinier than usual.

Perhaps feeling comfortable from Kazami Naru's careful hair drying, Kazami Rakuna gently narrowed her eyes like a wildcat, leaning her little head against the chair and swaying restlessly.

"do not move."

Kazami Mei rolled her eyes and pinched the cat's cheek; the soft, bouncy texture of the jelly was quite nice.

But why do I have this strange feeling of being a pet owner?

It took quite a while to finally finish blow-drying her hair, and then Kazami Naruto brought out the dishes he had prepared.

"Oh--"

Lenai's jewel-like, sparkling yellow-blue eyes were fixed on the food in front of her. Her slightly open mouth and expectant gaze showed just how excited the stray cat was; she practically buried her entire head in the bowl.

Somewhat impatient, Lena pursed her lips and looked up at Kazami Naru.

"Ming, is it ready to eat?"

"Wait a moment, there's just one last step."

Kazami poured the simmering chicken broth over the steaming rice, instantly giving the snow-white rice a golden sheen. At the same time, a tomato and egg dish, emitting a faint steam, was also placed on the table.

The delicious aroma that wafted over made the little glutton's stomach rumble with hunger.

Kazami Mei simply made a tomato and egg stir-fry and an oyako-don rice bowl with the ingredients she had. Putting aside the most important aspect, the taste, the unique color, appearance, and rich aroma alone were enough to call it an 'amazing' dish.

If a golden light appears when the lid is opened, that would be the final blow.

"..."

Rakuna gently gripped the edge of the table with both hands, only peeking out half of her head as she intently stared at the steaming oyako-don (chicken and egg rice bowl). Her eyes would occasionally glance at Kazami, as if she would launch an attack on the delicious food in front of her the moment he looked away.

Kazami Mei was actually quite surprised that she could endure it for so long.

Even he secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva the moment the dish was finished. An inexplicable and powerful attraction was constantly vying for his rationality, not to mention the little wildcat who was already very greedy.

"Lena, try it."

The next moment, Yao Le Nai nodded her little head vigorously.

She pulled the golden, glistening oyako-don (chicken and egg rice bowl) in front of her, and without a word, grabbed a spoon and shoved a huge mouthful into her mouth. The scalding heat made her little face turn bright red.

Despite being afraid of getting burned, the cat refused to spit out the golden rice, only letting its adorable cheeks puff out slightly.

The cat's incredibly red and excited cheeks showed just how high her spirits were.

Seeing her expression, Kazami Mei also picked up his chopsticks and slowly took a bite.

The moment I took a bite, my brain seemed to shut down instantly, as if hit by the three pages of the Platinum Star Euler.

At this moment, there is no room for further thought.

The smooth and tender texture, combined with the perfect taste, instantly ignites the taste buds. Even the pores that are a little tight after being rained on open up comfortably, as if there is a ball of hot flame in the abdomen, bringing unparalleled warmth and comfort. This is a pure sense of happiness.

It is also a dual satisfaction of mind and body.

When Kazami Mei regained her senses in her daze, she found that she had eaten the entire dish in front of her, not even a drop of sauce remained on the tomato and egg stir-fry next to her. The wildcat lady opposite her was also patting her belly contentedly.

Did the Crimson King manipulate time?

"...Food can actually be made to this extent?"

Kazami Mei was utterly shocked.

This is only a level 4 cooking skill. If he were to acquire some other skill in the later simulations that would allow his cooking skill to reach level 5, what would become of his mind? Kazami Naruto couldn't even bear to imagine it.

"Delicious," Lena commented with a very serious expression.

However, paired with her cat-like mouth covered in rice grains, it looked rather funny.

Seeing that she could make a mess of her face while eating, Kazami Mei instinctively picked up a napkin and wiped her clean.

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Le Nai squinted her eyes slightly, enjoying the caress as if it were the natural thing in the world, with a smug smile even playing on her lips. Then, as if she were just saying whatever came to mind, Le Nai said with a touch of languor, "I want to marry Ming."

Kazami Mei's hand movements suddenly paused, but only for a second before returning to normal.

"Did Liang teach you this again?"

"Well."

Yoro Nai gently shook her head, her soft, smooth white hair swaying rhythmically with the movement of her body.

Although it was only for a moment, Kazami Mei actually felt as if she had been bewitched by the stray cat.

When a stray cat that never lies suddenly says something like this in a serious tone, the impact is somewhat beyond imagination.

"Grandma always said that if you meet someone you like, you should seize the opportunity and marry them."

Isn't your grandma a little too rock and roll?

If I were to marry Lena now, my life would end in every sense of the word.

Kazami, who hadn't paid much attention to Ryuna's words, suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility. His expression instantly changed 180 degrees, and the next moment he abruptly reached out and grabbed the cat's shoulder, saying—

"Lenai! You must never say that in front of anyone else!"

Especially in front of Brother Lixi!

"why?"

Yoro Nai raised her cute eyebrows, seemingly a little puzzled.

"If you tell me, you'll probably never get to eat my cooking again."

"No."

Lenai immediately shook her head, showing a rare and extremely resistant attitude.

Money can make the devil turn the millstone, and delicious food can lure a cat.

"call……"

Seeing that she was keeping quiet, Kazami Mei felt a little relieved.

He glanced guiltily at the Line messages on his phone. The Mygo band members were chatting about random things in the group chat as usual, especially the pink-haired guy who sent a bunch of messages asking him what happened with the vegetarian yesterday.

I feel like explaining this here would be too complicated, so I'll wait until we meet tomorrow to explain.

But thinking about it carefully, tomorrow is the end of the band's debut live performance.

Kazami Naruto has been busy helping Bochi with his exams and arranging music for the band, so he has neglected his own instrument training to some extent. In addition, his keyboard skills are not very high. It would be bad if something happened to him on stage.

Unlike bass, a keyboard can be easily heard if you play a wrong note.

Thinking of this, Kazami Mei suddenly looked at Rakuna, who still had a cat-like mouth.

"Lena, how about we practice an ensemble piece?"

"want."

When the topic of music came up, the cat answered very quickly.

Lena excitedly ran to get her grandmother's guitar. Although the guitar's exterior had a worn look due to the passage of time, the steel strings that gleamed with a cold light and the carefully maintained fretboard were enough to show how much the owner cherished it.
