How can my simulation be a real love?

With a mocking smile on his face, Kazami Mei threw back the lewd joke that Ryo-san had casually thrown out.

Seeing the smiles that had involuntarily appeared on everyone's faces, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but smile as well.

Her heart seemed to be beating just as fast as it had been on stage; the excitement and immersion she felt were still there.

She was really worried when the performance was halfway through, because even she rarely performs at such a high intensity.

Although Goto Ichiri tried her best to change the situation, the song, which was already halfway through, was already beyond saving.

But during the interlude, Kazami Naru suddenly stood up and played a series of difficult keyboard solos, forcibly drawing everyone's attention and allowing Pochi to muster the courage to follow along.

It was thanks to his 'silent reminder' that Kita and Nijika were able to regain their composure.

"call……"

Kazami Mei also sat down and rested for a while. He felt his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

After using my daughter's trial card, my own state has completely changed.

Those difficult techniques that Kazami Mei usually finds hard to perform, combined perfectly like gears on stage, allowing him to use them as naturally as if it were instinct.

Whether it was the rhythm of his breathing or the immersion of his emotions, he felt an unprecedented sense of joy and enjoyment.

It was truly thanks to this trial card that he was able to change the situation by relying on a series of long arpeggios.

My daughter's skills are so useful!

"But it really is somewhat unexpected..."

Kazami Mei frowned slightly as she looked at her simulator panel.

[Keyboard LV2 upgraded to Keyboard LV3]

[Music Theory LV3 upgraded to Music Theory LV4]

It's unbelievable that just one trial card could bring about such a huge boost.

Although Kazami Naruto already knew that these trial cards had a certain probability of directly grasping the essence, thereby increasing the level of the original skill, he never expected that his keyboard and music theory skills would be upgraded at the same time.

'Music Theory' has become his third LV4 skill.

Could it be that his 'musical genius LV1' indirectly led to a faster comprehension and learning speed?

"Ming."

Just as Kazami Mei was still thinking, someone gently tapped her shoulder.

Miss Liang, who had been looking indifferent, suddenly came over and leaned her head close to his ear with some fondness.

"When did you get your keyboard like this? Tell me honestly."

"Otherwise, we won't let you go back tonight."

Chapter Thirty-Three: Is it really worth spending a lifetime in a band? [5k]

How dare a mere ex-wife say such a thing!

Although the simulated Ryo-chan is indeed very strong in this area, simulation and reality are not the same. If it really came to that, Kazami Naruto is confident that he can make her cry and beg for mercy.

Of course, it was just a fleeting thought in my mind.

If I really let my ex-wife lead me by the nose, I might inexplicably find myself unable to go home tonight.

Others may not be sure, but Yamada Ryo is definitely not.

"Ryo, stop saying such...ambiguous things! You're a girl! Ming-sang, please don't take this idiot's words seriously, she's just talking nonsense!"

"I won't—"

No sooner had Yamada Ryo finished speaking than he was dragged away by Iji Chi Niji Natsumi, whose face was flushed red. While being pulled by the collar, Ms. Yamada's mouth was also covered.

Kita Ikuyo was deeply shocked by this.

Ryo-senpai, who could dominate both himself and Chihaya Aine, was easily defeated by the gentle and sunny Nijika-senpai.

So strong! Senior Hongxia is so strong!

This sudden turn of events gave Kita Ikuyo a few other thoughts.

Nijika-senpai is definitely one of the safest people right now. Although Pochi-chan is her 'comrade-in-arms', some 'accidents' occasionally happen that make her unsafe.

Needless to say, Liang is the most dangerous woman in the entire band.

If she had gotten the chance, she probably would have dragged Mingsang to a hotel that very night.

Yet even this incredibly dangerous super boss, Senior Ryo, is now being suppressed by Senior Nijigasaki. If she continues to be held back by Senior Nijigasaki and unable to launch an 'attack'—

So, if no one can restrain you, isn't that like a dragon entering the sea?

"Then I'll go check on Aine and the others first, and then I'll come back later."

Before Kita Ikuyo's thoughts could become reality, Kazami Mei had already left the backstage area.

Seeing his departing figure, a noticeable hint of disappointment flashed in Miss Kita's yellow-green eyes. However, she was not discouraged, after all, there was still the crucial 'victory celebration banquet' tonight!

Of course, I might need a helper.

"Ok?"

As a top-tier socially anxious person, Pochi has an extremely strong perception of eye contact.

Ms. Goto Ichiri, who was just sitting there with her guitar and grinning like an idiot, suddenly noticed a terrifyingly aggressive gaze coming from Ms. Kita not far away, and she was so frightened that the hairs on her body stood on end.

What, what's going on?

Why is Kita-chan looking at me like that?

Could it be that she was finally dissatisfied with the fact that she had secretly talked to Ming Sang and had been held in his arms several times, and had decided to kill this 'cheating cat'?

Don’t do that kind of thing!

……

Kazami Mei, of course, was unaware of Kita's ulterior motives. He left the backstage area and went directly to the STARRY exhibition hall.

Upon arriving, they saw Chihaya Aine excitedly talking to Takamatsu Akari, while Shiina Tatsuki frowned slightly, looking somewhat anxious. Only Nagasaki Motoyo spotted Kazami Naru at a glance and immediately waved in his direction.

Seeing Ms. Suze again today, Kazami Naruto couldn't help but recall the sentence she posted yesterday, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"I am truly grateful that everyone is willing to come and see the show in this weather."

Kazami Mei immediately expressed her gratitude sincerely.

He originally thought it would be best if people didn't come to the show in this weather, but to his surprise, everyone from Mygo came, even the eccentric Li Xi.

"...I never expected you to say something like that."

The sudden gratitude was a bit unusual for Shiina Ritsuki, who was used to his bad temper. However, the extremely arrogant and straightforward Ritsuki could not possibly say that he had come to see the show on his own initiative.

She merely snorted and said coldly, "It's just that Deng insisted on coming over to check; I was worried about the heavy rain."

"Hey~ But wasn't Riki-chan the first person to send a message today?"

Nagasaki Motoyo, with a hint of 'doubt' on her face, casually exposed Riki's disguise.

"Huh? I didn't."

Ms. Suze's casual remark immediately made Ms. Shiina blush. Seeing that she could no longer hide it, she glared at Kazami Naruto, trying to use her imposing height of 1.5 meters to dissuade him from believing Suze's words.

Kazami Mei also found it somewhat amusing.

"How was my performance?"

"...much better than what you played before."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Tatsuki hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, her eyes even subconsciously glancing in other directions, clearly indicating that she did not intend to express her true feelings.

These obviously perfunctory words immediately made Chihaya Aine somewhat dissatisfied.

With one hand on her hip and her eyes slightly narrowed, she leaned closer to Lixi and spoke in a strange tone, enunciating each word clearly: "No way, right? Mingming is super amazing on stage! He should be super cool, right?"

Miss Aine's smug tone, coupled with her slightly upturned head, made it seem as if the person who had just dominated the stage as a keyboardist was not Kazami Mei, but herself.

"Tsk..."

"Our live performance is in a month, so we need to practice more." She simply clicked her tongue at Chihaya Aine's somewhat sarcastic tone and then quickly changed the subject.

"Huh? Rikki, you were just speechless!"

"Tsk!"

Seeing Shiina Tatsuki and Aine bickering inexplicably beside him, Kazami Mei could only turn his gaze to Takamatsu Akari, who was standing next to him. The little penguin's lips curled into a beautiful smile, and he tilted his head slightly, looking very happy.

"Live, that was great!"

"Ming, you're really amazing!"

The fact that the little lamp in front of him praised him so earnestly made Kazami Mei feel a little embarrassed.

Even if Ai Yin or Li Xi praised him, it would only make him feel secretly pleased.

But being praised so earnestly by the innocent little penguin is a different story. The words spoken by the cute little penguin are extremely powerful, especially for him!

"I...I will try my best too..."

Takamatsu nodded vigorously, but a hint of unease lingered in his eyes.

Everyone in the band that ended was really amazing.

Especially Goto Ichiri, who played the lead guitar.

She was able to keep up with Kazami's keyboard rhythm under those circumstances. Keep in mind that the speed of guitar strumming and chord changes is not just 'amateur'. Even the cat cat, who is regarded as a genius by everyone, may not be able to do that.

Lead vocalist Kita Ikuyo is also very impressive. Despite it being her first time on stage, she exudes such composure. She stumbled on the rhythm midway through but managed to regain it halfway through. Her excellence made fellow lead vocalist Takamatsu Akari feel somewhat inferior.

Can I do it again if I go on stage once more?

If I mess this up, will Ming...?

"Do not worry."

Kazami Mei saw the pessimism hidden in her heart, and her tone immediately softened.

He gently stroked Gao Songdeng's soft, smooth, light gray hair, and she was quickly soothed like a small animal. However, this gentleness of his only eased the emotions in Gao Songdeng's heart.

The pessimism in my heart still lingers.

But now, Gao Songdeng will not hesitate to move forward because of her inferiority complex.

"Yes! I want to be with Ming for the rest of my life... and form a band!"

Gao Songdeng nodded her little head with some force, and the slight clenching of her little fist seemed to be a symbol of the increased determination in her heart, and she had already made up her mind.

"..."

Shiina Tatsuki, who had been bickering with Chihaya Aine, seemed to have keenly sensed something.

Shiina Riki turned his head and saw Kazami Mei and Kobito's intimate actions. A glint flashed in his already sharp, deep purple eyes, and his delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, but he only glared at him with a somewhat unfriendly look.

However, this time, she did not stop it.

Although she hates to admit it, Akari relies on Kazami Mei more than she does.

"I'm going back."

Shiina Riki felt inexplicably anxious and replied casually in a somewhat cold tone.

Shoko Toyokawa, who used to be a keyboardist, is like this, and so is Mei Kazami, who is now in a band with her. The two seem to be getting further and further away from her. Even though they are still by her side, they seem to have left her far behind.

I could only watch their backs, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't keep up.

"Huh? Are we leaving now?"

Chihaya Aine was a little stunned, clearly taken aback by Ritsuki's sudden remark.

"Kazami's live performance is over, right? And the rain has gotten much lighter now." This time, Shiina Tatsuki's tone seemed to carry a hint of anxiety.

Her unusual behavior made Nagasaki Motoyo vaguely realize what she was thinking.

"Does Li Xi perhaps want to go back to training?"

"That's right, our live performance will start next month."

Shiina Tatsuki did not deny Nagasaki Motoyo's question.

She realized that she was falling further and further behind Feng Jianming, and this intense resentment made her even more anxious. If she couldn't channel this anxiety into training, she wouldn't be able to accept herself.
