How can my simulation be a real love?

"I...I want to go home too..."

Perhaps it was Shiina Tatsuki's word 'LIVE' that made Kotodama realize what was happening.

Knowing full well that her skills were far from sufficient, Takamatsu Akari left Kazami Mei somewhat reluctantly, because she had always planned to work hard and become a qualified lead singer to form a band with Kazami Mei for life!

Next month's debut live is the most important thing right now!

"Hey! Isn't this a bit too fast!" Chihaya Aine looked left and right at Kodama and then at Riki, somewhat taken aback by the sudden decision of the two to leave together.

She was planning to take this opportunity to find Kazami Naruto, using the celebration as an excuse to get closer to him and ask him what was going on between Nagasaki Motoyo and that Toyokawa Shoko.

Who knew everyone would suddenly decide to leave...

Isn't this interrupting her before she even begins to use her skills?

"Aine-chan, later Naruto might have a celebration party with the rest of the band, right?"

Nagasaki Motoyo leaned close to Chihaya Aine and whispered something, which immediately made the pink-haired girl pout in dissatisfaction.

makes sense.

Although she was extremely unwilling, she couldn't stay alone since the rest of the band was leaving. Besides, the band might actually have a celebration party after the band ended, and she wasn't part of a band, so it wasn't appropriate for her to go with them.

"Seriously... I guess I'll just go home and practice guitar today too."

Seeing that Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki had already left the STARRY entrance with their umbrellas, Aine could only helplessly follow them, leaving only Nagasaki Motoyo still standing there.

After seeing that everyone else had already left, Nagasaki Motoyo finally turned her gentle gaze to Kazami Naru.

"Ming-sang, I still want to apologize to you in person for what happened yesterday..."

She bowed her head slightly to Kazami Naru with great seriousness, the apology in her eyes almost tangible.

"One apology is enough; any more would only make things seem distant."

"Besides, I already told you yesterday, and I understand your thoughts."

Kazami Mei didn't say anything blaming, which seemed to leave Nagasaki Motoyo somewhat stunned.

A hint of tenderness flashed in her bright, azure eyes, and her right hand unconsciously began to fidget with her fingers. She spoke slowly, her voice tinged with melancholy, "That's true."

If Kazami Mei had also been at CRYCHIC back then...

"If I ever need anything in the future... could I really trouble you, Ming-san?"

Why do I always feel that Miss Su Shi's eyes are a little creepy?

"As long as it's not something that bothers me, that's fine."

Kazami Mei rolled her eyes slightly and made a sarcastic remark, which made Nagasaki Motoyo find it somewhat amusing.

"Of course I wouldn't do that... But since Naru-san is willing to help me, she can always rely on me if she ever has any trouble in the future~"

Suddenly, I felt that Miss Su Shi possessed a motherly love—

Is this what Mygo's magnanimity represents? It's truly magnificent.

"Is anything okay?"

"Of course, anything too extreme is unacceptable!" Nagasaki Motoyo said somewhat irritably.

However, she had gotten used to Kazami Naruto's personality, and after smiling and saying goodbye to him, she left STARRY as well.

Seeing that the girls from Mygo had all left, Kazami Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as he turned around, he saw Iji Tomoka staring at him meaningfully with her arms crossed.

Even Rakuna, sitting next to them, was watching them with a subtle gaze, making Kazami Naru feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

So, which one is your girlfriend?

A hint of doubt flashed in Ijichi Hoshika's sharp eyes.

"None of them," Kazami Mei replied casually, her dead fish eyes narrowed.

He wasn't lying.

Ijichi Hoshika clicked her tongue in annoyance; clearly, Kazami Mei's explanation had not won her over at all.

Although Ichika Hoshika is almost thirty years old and has never been in a relationship, as someone who has been through it all, she can tell at a glance that those girls have very close relationships with Kazami Mei.

He's also supposedly a member of another band, which makes it even more suspicious.

If Kazami Mei were only talented in music, that would be one thing, but the main thing is that his face is really outstanding. In addition, after he put on the earring, even Hoshika couldn't help but take a second look.

"and many more……"

This kid, is he planning to start a band harem?

No, I really need to keep Hongxia away from dangerous guys like him!

This guy is more suited to be a bassist than a keyboardist!

……

As the band's performance ended, the torrential rain outside had unknowingly turned into a light drizzle, with puddles reflecting the azure sky everywhere, and fine raindrops could be seen falling on the water's surface.

The dark clouds that filled the sky seemed to have gradually dispersed, leaving only the incredibly warm sunlight shining down on the earth, reflecting a rainbow of colors in the puddles, making the world seem bright and gentle again.

"Stop being stubborn~ Rikki, just admit that Naruto is handsome, okay? You were totally mesmerized just now~"

A light splash of water rose from the girl's feet, shimmering like pearls in the sunlight.

"Shut up! You stinky pink-haired brat!"

"what?"

Chihaya Aine froze for a second, but her cute face immediately turned somewhat displeased.

"Who is this stinky pink-haired guy?! Rikki, your taste in names is absolutely terrible!"

"I don't want you to say that!"

Shiina Riki's eyes twitched slightly; she felt that one day she would be driven crazy by this pink-haired brat.

"What do you mean? Su Shishi must also think that Li Xi's naming taste is terrible, right?"

"Well..."

Takamatsu, who had been following behind, had a slight, attractive smile playing on his lips.

Chihaya Aine and Shiina Tatsuki were still bickering about Kazami Mei beside her. When she saw the smile that couldn't be contained on the other's face, memories of what she had seen in her 'dream' involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Aine-chan also likes Naruto.

This is an undeniable fact.

In the dream, she chose to reject Kazami Mei's confession because she cared about Aine's feelings, which led to a huge regret that she could never forget in her life.

No one found happiness.

Although Takamatsu Akari doesn't quite understand the emotions of love, she is very clear that she likes to be with Kazami Mei and wants to be with him for life from the bottom of her heart. This heartfelt feeling is not fake.

However, Aine's feelings were just as sincere, no less so than Akari's.

Deng never wants to go through what happened before again.

However, if a choice must be made between the two, it will inevitably hurt the other person deeply, which may lead to the band eventually falling apart, something that Deng does not want to see.

Takamatsu Tō didn't want anyone to lose their smile.

If everyone is going to be in a band for their entire lives, then what should they do...?

Chapter Thirty-Four: This is so rock and roll! [5k]

"Cheers~"

Inside the Shibata Ramen shop, bathed in warm orange-yellow lighting, the band members, having finished their performance, raised their glasses and gently clinked them together. The cola inside made a piercing bubbling sound, which, combined with the dazzling array of sushi on the table, created a visually stunning scene.

The bill was filled with a long list of orders. It seemed that all the money earned from the band's live performance had been used by Hoshika to treat everyone. For Kazami Mei, who wasn't exactly wealthy, Hoshika's generosity was beyond question.

"The food at this restaurant is delicious, everyone please enjoy!"

A slight smile appeared on Ijichi Seika's lips, perhaps because her sister's successful live performance had made this siscon quite happy.

And this is the same 'Shiba Taisho Ramen' that Kazami Mei often goes to eat at.

Although this restaurant is located in a rather remote area, it is popular among connoisseurs because of its delicious food. In particular, the fact that it was Ijichi Hoshika who led the group here this time is enough to show the quality of the food.

"It's my treat today, so Kazami, please order as much of your favorite food as you like!"

With a hint of approval on her face, Ijichi Hoshika generously tossed the menu to Kazami Naruto.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Kazami Naruto felt at a loss as to where to begin with the menu.

"What's wrong? Can't think of anything to eat but just look at what looks good? Everything at this restaurant is delicious."

"Then I'll keep an eye on things..."

Kazami Mei, of course, knew what was good at this restaurant.

You should know that this "Shiba Taisho Ramen" is one of the shops that Kazami Mei frequents the most. In the past, whenever he had money, he would come here to have a good meal. He had long been very familiar with the taisho of this shop, and the taisho would occasionally give him some dishes as a perk when he came.

However, recently, the way the other party looks at Feng Jianming has become increasingly subtle, always seeming like they want to say something but dare not.

Especially today, when he led the four members of the band and three older women in, the general standing at the counter looked at him with a look of disbelief, but when Kazami Naruto looked over, the other party immediately looked away as if nothing had happened.

He has definitely misunderstood.

"Since we're already at this restaurant, we have to order some delicious shochu!"

Sitting next to Ichika Hoshika was a petite older sister wearing a light green sundress.

She had a head of deep lavender-purple braided hair, and her entire outfit was very revealing and revealing.

With her long, alluring eyes slightly narrowed, her face flushed with an unnatural drunkenness, she raised the large glass with a joyful expression the moment she received the beer, downing a third of the pale yellow beer with white foam in one gulp.

Who is this older sister?

Kita Ikuyo looked puzzled; it was the first time she had met this older sister who seemed a bit strange.

“She was a junior in college, and we used to occasionally come to this bar for drinks together.” Perhaps because the drunkard next to her was too annoying, Iji Chisaka spoke with a hint of weariness in her voice.

"Hi hi~ I'm Kikuri Hiroi~"

Kikuri Hiroi's face was flushed from drinking. She greeted everyone energetically while hiccuping. However, after speaking, she would suddenly gulp down a mouthful of alcohol and make a cheerful shout that was hard to understand, like an old man.

Kazami Mei simply watched the drunken older sister in front of him drink one cup after another, but he didn't expect that her gaze would suddenly focus on him.

As if she had seen something interesting, she said with a hint of pleasure, "Hey there, young man, I saw your performance just now!"

"Your keyboard skills are amazing! It's beyond what you'd expect for someone your age."

As Hiroi Kikuri said this, she slightly opened her beautiful eyes, revealing her deep purple pupils that held a profound meaning.

Whether it's Iji Tomoka or Hiroi Kikuri, you can immediately tell how strong Kazami Mei's performance level is after she takes the stage. The arpeggio spirals she plays one after another are simply astonishing, and her strength even surpasses some professional levels.

If Hiroi Kikuri hadn't known that Kazami Mei was just a sixteen-year-old high school student, she would have suspected that this guy was a keyboardist from a famous professional band who had been ousted and was waiting to reclaim his throne with a new band after three years.

"I was just a little lucky; I just happened to be in good form today."

Kazami Mei didn't really think he was that great. After all, he was on stage this time because of his daughter's skill experience card. If it were up to his own ability, he definitely wouldn't be able to play at this level, and he might even make a small mistake.

"Come on, you're just really good at it."

Hiroi Kikuri smiled and spoke, not holding back her praise.

"But the most important thing for a boy is courage! How about a bite of the spiral of happiness?"

As she spoke, Hiroi Kikuri brought out a pot of shochu, the strong aroma of which made everyone present feel dizzy.

"Senior Hiroi, I am a minor."

Kazami Mei rested her chin on her hand and spoke with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"So what if I'm a minor?"

"Just because you're a minor doesn't mean you can't masturbate."

puff!

Hiroi Kikuri answered with a matter-of-fact expression, and this short sentence almost made Kita, who was still drinking her beverage, spit it out. She choked on the cola and tears streamed down her face.

It was Kazami Mei who took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth for her.

“That makes sense, we are, after all, a rock band.”

Yamada Ryo nodded thoughtfully, surprisingly agreeing with Hiroi Kikuri's statement.
