How can my simulation be a real love?

"In short, first check if there is a fever."

"The best way is to touch foreheads together; that way you can roughly tell if someone has a fever..."

Before Chihaya Aine could even finish speaking, Takamatsu Akari, who was sitting next to her, had already pressed herself against Kazami Mei.

She carefully touched her forehead to Kazami's forehead. This intimate gesture made her shyly look away. At this distance, she could even clearly feel the other's breath.

The moment their foreheads touched, a scorching heat, like lava, emanated from her skin.

Gao Songdeng immediately frowned, even she could immediately realize that this was not a normal body temperature.

"Ming, she has a fever..."

"Lights up—"

Seeing that Xiaobi had gotten ahead of her again and was sticking close to Kazami Naru, Chihaya Aine's eyes were practically overflowing with envy.

But now is not the time to worry about these things. Preparing lunch and taking care of the patient are the most important things!

"Dengdeng~ Go and look around to see if there are any fever reducers or cold medicines. Also, it would be best to find a thermometer... and is there any leftover food in the refrigerator? I'll go prepare a wet towel to cool Mingming down."

Only at times like these does Miss Aine seem truly reliable.

Chihaya Aine methodically directed Takamatsu Akari to do some relatively simple tasks.

She went to the bathroom with practiced ease, found a clean white towel, and after adjusting the temperature by adding a little cold water to the boiling water, she sat down on the bed and gently wiped away the fine sweat from his forehead.

The movements of her hands were delicate and incredibly gentle, and a tender smile involuntarily appeared on the corners of the girl's mouth.

"I took really good care of you today~ If you don't thank me properly when you wake up, hmph~"

Seemingly imagining the scene of being thanked by Kazami Mei later, she raised her head with a hint of pride.

"Hmm~ Next, we'll use cold towels to cool it down—"

Chihaya Aine carefully wiped the sweat from Kazami Mei's forehead, but when she looked at the towel, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Kazami Mei's neck and prominent collarbone, which also seemed to be covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Right now.

Chihaya Aine suddenly remembered something very important.

Is Kazami Naru currently in a state of 'unconscious' coma?

In other words, no matter what she does right now, the other person will simply fall into a deep sleep and remain completely unaware. Currently, only she and Xiaodeng are awake in the house, and Xiaodeng is currently unable to free her hands—

Gudong.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like I can hear the sound of someone swallowing.

Miss Aine is still just a teenage girl in her adolescence. After experiencing the beauty of 'love' firsthand, her mind has become a bit strange. In addition, Kazami Mei has absolutely no defenses against her right now.

Her gaze seemed unable to look away.

"Looks like there's still something I missed. I need to wipe all the sweat off my body properly..."

Chihaya Aine's fingers trembled slightly as she carefully ran her fingers through Kazami Naruto's loose, dark hair, tentatively pinching his cheek. The irresistible touch instantly caused her lips to curl into a wide smile.

I pinched her cheek a little, but there was no reaction.

I gently rubbed it, but there was no reaction.

Kazami Mei remained unconscious, her brow furrowed.

Sensing this, Chihaya Aine became increasingly bold. Her nimble fingers, used for guitar chords and strumming, gently caressed his neck, the warm touch making her want to move even closer.

"Well……"

By the time she realized it, she seemed to have already climbed into bed.

The unique sunflower scent belonging to Kazami Mei was even more pronounced due to the sweltering heat, and this scent was stimulating Aine's heart almost constantly.

A hint of shyness flashed across her flushed face as she gently reached out her right hand towards Kazami's face and neck, touching him tremblingly before carefully withdrawing it again, as if afraid her movements would wake him from his deep sleep.

Kazami Mei suddenly moved when she 'accidentally' unbuttoned her collar.

"I was just wiping away sweat!"

Chihaya Aine was so startled she almost jumped up, clutching a clean white towel in her hand as she tried to argue her point.

To her surprise, Kazami Mei didn't sit up immediately as she had expected. Instead, she slightly adjusted her sleeping position, which relieved the startled Aine.

"...Oh! You dare to scare me."

Once she realized what was happening, Miss Aine puffed out her cute cheeks in dissatisfaction, her whole little face turning into an angry little devil.

With a hint of revenge in her heart, she reached out again and gently pinched Kazami's cheek until she had deformed his face before nodding with some satisfaction.

However, the flames that had just risen did not seem to have completely disappeared.

Chihaya Aine blushed slightly as she looked at his lips.

What should I do now?

"Or...right here..."

After hesitating for a moment, Chihaya Aine secretly glanced behind her. Takamatsu Akari, who had run outside the bedroom to find medicine, seemed unaware of what was happening here. Her heart began to pound faster and faster.

In the end, she couldn't help but reach out her left hand and gently stroke his cheek.

chirp~

Half a second later, she kissed his cheek.

"Hehe~ That's all for today..."

After careful consideration, it became clear that for a girl like her who yearns for youth and pure love, her first kiss should indeed be exchanged with Kazami Mei when she is sober; that would be the romantic scene of her dreams.

Let's just collect some interest for now and be patient a little longer.

She's already won too many times.

Feeling completely satisfied, Chihaya Aine was about to take a few steps back when she suddenly heard a voice that sent chills down her spine.

"Aine-chan, what are you doing?"

Holding the medicine, Takamatsu Akari stood behind her with some confusion. From Takamatsu Akari's perspective, Chihaya Aine was already in bed, leaving no room for explanation.

"I, I...I didn't!"

She herself didn't believe what she said.

This is a situation where she's been completely caught red-handed; in this state, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she would never be able to clear her name.

Not to mention that she herself has no way to defend herself.

"What's not there?"

Takamatsu Akari held several boxes of medicine, her amber eyes fixed on Chihaya Aine in front of her.

"I... I was just wiping Mingming's sweat, because it was a little inconvenient to move around like this..."

This is a lie.

Chihaya Aine had never felt so panicked before. Even when she fled back to Tokyo from studying in Great Britain, she hadn't been this embarrassed. To think that she had secretly done something like this and that Akari had seen her doing it.

"Aine-chan, what were you doing to Naruto just now?"

Gao Songdeng tightened her grip on the medicine box slightly, and lowered her head in disappointment.

Ruined!

At this moment, Miss Aine felt her mind go completely blank. Her light gray, bright eyes seemed to lose focus, and she stood there, her soul seemingly leaving her body...

"What's wrong?"

The sudden sound from behind almost simultaneously drew the attention of both Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari. Because the two were talking non-stop, Kazami Mei sat up with a slight frown.

Chapter Three: You're being a bit too conservative.

"Sorry, did I wake Naruto?"

Takamatsu Akari, holding the medicine box, immediately shuffled over. Chihaya Aine breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chihaya's attention had been diverted. She had been genuinely flustered when she was caught, and had even started to explain to her subconsciously.

It seems that, at present, they've barely managed to get away with it.

I don't know if the little lamp in front of me has any feelings for Kazami Mei.

"It's nothing... I just slept for a while and am a little more awake now."

Kazami Mei simply shook her head slightly. Although she was still a little dizzy, she was much better than before.

He looked up and saw a basin of hot water and a clean, damp towel by the bed. Then he noticed that Chihaya Aine was holding a dry towel for wiping her sweat, and he realized that Aine must be quietly taking care of him.

At that moment, Kazami's gaze towards her changed slightly.

It was actually the pink-haired guy taking care of him?

Even in the 'simulation,' when I had a cold and was sick, this pink-haired girl would righteously say that 'exercise' would help with recovery and then pounce on me. I never expected that she would have such a virtuous wife and loving mother side in real life.

This was truly unexpected for him.

Kazami Mei suddenly felt a surge of gratitude towards the pink-haired girl in front of him, and even had a slight urge to confess his feelings to her.

"Aine, thank you."

"I didn't do anything..."

Chihaya Aine, suddenly praised, shyly fiddled with the ends of her long, pink cherry blossom hair.

A blush gradually rose on her fair face, and her bright, sparkling silver eyes seemed to be tinged with water. She looked away somewhat shyly, only to find herself staring at Gao Songdeng beside her.

Oh no, will Dengdeng report her?

Although from Takamatsu Akari's perspective, she probably couldn't see the process of 'committing the crime'.

At least they saw her climb into Kazami's bed to 'assassinate' him. Even if the naive and innocent Kodama wouldn't think too much about it, if she told Kazami about it—

That would be a completely different story!

If she were to attempt to take advantage of the unconscious handsome boy, she would surely be seen by everyone as a perverted woman with a lewd mind, and even Mingming would stare at her with strange and wary eyes.

If that kind of thing happens, I'd rather die!

Fortunately, Takamatsu Akari didn't seem to have any intention of reporting her. Her amber-like, worried eyes were fixed on Kazami Mei. She brought a bunch of medicines to his side and whispered, "Mei... take your medicine quickly!"

"I found cold medicine, fever reducers, sleeping pills, antidiarrheal medicine, and the like..."

"Wait, is the rest unnecessary?"

Upon hearing the strange words that followed, Kazami Mei glanced subtly at the various boxes that Takamatsu Akari was holding in her arms.

Kazami knew that Kodama was very concerned about him, and that she had hurriedly found all the medicine she could find, making it impossible for him to refuse her kindness. But if he really ate it all...

He probably won't be at home tomorrow, but rather at some Holy Grail War summoning ceremony.

"Oh no... I still need to prepare lunch. Dengdeng, you should put the chilled towel on Mingming first."

Suddenly remembering this, Miss Aine opened her mouth, a hint of panic appearing on her pretty face.

She just checked the time on her phone and realized it was already past 1 p.m., and Kazami Mei hadn't even had lunch yet. For someone with a fever and illness, not eating can have a significant impact on their condition!

"Well."

Having received the 'instruction', Takamatsu Akari nodded slightly.

She immediately put all the medicines she was holding on the ground, and after Aine left, she frowned seriously, picked up the ice pack towel, and gently stroked Kazami Mei's forehead as if she were taking care of a child.

"I can do the lamp myself."

"no……"

Takamatsu shook his head vigorously, then stubbornly made Kazami Mei lie obediently on the bed.

She had already made a promise to take good care of Kazami Naruto, so she absolutely had to make sure he could rely on her.

Having made up her mind, Takamatsu wrung out the towel for the ice pack and then carefully placed it on his head again. Every movement was gentle and serious, and she would take out a towel to wipe his sweat from time to time.

The sudden change in the little lamp to be so meticulous and earnest left Kazami Mei somewhat unable to resist.

There's no way around it, the little lamp is just too cute.

Luckily, I didn't impulsively confess my feelings to Miss Aine, otherwise I would have cheated on her at lightning speed by now.

"Ok!"
