How can my simulation be a real love?

The message was sent and immediately showed as 'read'.

This ability to see if the other person is spying is surprisingly useful. As the one taking the initiative, you can immediately tell the other person's current state. Kazami Naruto's lips curled into a slight smile.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, I still didn't see the message from Brother Lixi.

After waiting patiently for a while, the panda head popped up again.

[Shiina Tatsuki: Just checking to make sure you're still alive, and also there are a few things I'd like to talk to you about.]

[Want to be fertilizer?: My condition is much better than yesterday. I can actually start training with RiNG now.]

[Shiina Tatsuki: You can just stay home and rest for the next few days. I'll take care of the band's training and other matters.]

[Shiina Tatsuki: Also, I think we can't delay the composition work any longer. I listened to your arrangement audio files several times last night and want to try to continue arranging it for you.]

Ryū-ge on the other end sent several messages in a row, and the string of messages made Kazami Ming a little dizzy.

It's clear that she had been preparing this information for a long time. She hadn't sent it before because she was afraid it would disturb her rest. But after Kazami Naruto replied, she immediately shared all the results she had prepared last night.

Li Xi is such a gentle guy, it's making me a little uncomfortable.

"They're really serious."

The sheer volume of information alone is enough to show how much preparation Lixi did in just one night.

"It seems things are a bit difficult to explain in the short term..."

Kazami Mei glanced at the empty refrigerator and then slowly closed the refrigerator door.

[Do you want to be fertilizer? It's not easy to explain on Line, let's meet somewhere around noon to discuss it in detail]

[Shiina Tatsuki: I'm fine with that, are you okay with it?]

[Want to be used as fertilizer? No problem, come to my place!]

After the message was sent, the panda head on the other side of the screen seemed to fall silent.

Even though Kazami Mei couldn't see what was happening on the other side of the screen, she could roughly guess that Riki was probably exclaiming "Huh?" in disbelief while clutching her phone and staring intently at the screen in embarrassment and annoyance.

It felt great to tease the arrogant guy, and the pleasure made the corners of his mouth involuntarily turn up.

……

Of course, it's impossible to simply invite Lixi to my home for a meeting.

Kazami Mei simply found a coffee shop next to her apartment nearby.

Because the shop's overall decor and environment are quiet and relaxing, and the curry rice it sells tastes good and is reasonably priced, it naturally attracts people like him who aren't exactly wealthy.

After waiting for a while, Shiina Tatsuki finally arrived late.

She frowned as she looked at Kazami Naruto in front of her, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Are you alright?"

"A mere fatal wound—"

"It seems there shouldn't be any problems."

Seeing that Kazami Mei still had the energy to chat idly with him, Shiina Tatsuki breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, I've taken it upon myself to take over your job."

Shiina Tatsuki was the first to apologize to Kazami Mei.

She made the decision without the consent of Kazami Mei, the 'composer,' and therefore she should apologize.

Although it was also because Kazami's physical condition couldn't be forced, her impatient nature prevented her from watching the arrangement and practice continue to be delayed, so she decided to take the responsibility directly onto herself.

"I was actually planning to take a couple of days off, but the arrangement might be delayed a bit."

"Shiina, your willingness to take on this temporarily is a great help to me."

Shiina Tatsuki breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Kazami Mei agree.

She was actually a little afraid that the other party would be unwilling to entrust this matter to her.

After all, the very first intro of this piece had already been written by Kazami Naruto. Many people value their own compositions highly and do not allow others to make arbitrary alterations.

"Is it really possible?"

Just in case, Shiina Tatsuki asked again.

"I'd rather entrust the arrangement to you, Shiina, than to anyone else."

Kazami Mei picked up her mocha and took a small sip, her tone carrying a hint of nonchalance.

At this moment, Shiina Tatsuki's eyes seemed somewhat dazed, and the anxiety and tension in her heart seemed to have dissipated a little.

Despite growing up in the shadow of her genius older sister, she was never expected anything from anyone. Whenever anyone mentioned 'Shiina,' they would only think of her sister. No matter how hard Ritsuki tried to prove herself, she was always ignored.

All of this seems to be taken for granted.

Is this guy the only one who actually trusts me so much?

She pursed her lips tightly, her voice softening slightly.

"……Thanks."

"I heard you, could you say it again?"

The mocking smile that appeared on Kazami Mei's lips immediately made Shiina Ritsuki's face stiffen.

She glared at the other person with her long, narrow phoenix eyes, which were adorned with a captivating beauty mark, and with a cold snort, she took out her audio player and headphones and handed them directly to Kazami Ming.

“I composed part of the melody for this piece last night. Listen to it and see what you think.”

"Then I'll take a good look at it."

Kazami Mei put down the half-finished coffee in her hand, took the results of last night from Shiina Tatsuki's hand, and then put on her headphones to listen carefully.

Sitting opposite him, Shiina Tatsuki felt extremely uneasy.

Although she didn't like Kazami Mei, she had to admit his excellent knowledge of music theory and his talent for composing. He could create excellent scores that surprised her with ease.

A moment later, Kazami Mei slowly opened her deep black eyes.

"How about it?"

"I think it's pretty good, but it seems a bit too conservative."

keep?

Shiina Tatsuki frowned, seemingly unable to understand the meaning of Kazami Mei's words.

Seemingly sensing Shiina Tatsuki's hesitation, Kazami Mei gestured for Shiina Tatsuki to hand him the paper sheet music for the melody, and then picked up a ballpoint pen to delete and add a few notes to the sheet music.

Such a simple action caused Lixi's purple eyes to widen instantly.

Kazami Mei made some seemingly simple changes to the melody that Riki had spent one night composing, but it drastically changed the entire melody!

In particular, the overall acceleration in pace is surprisingly seamless, perfectly complementing the preceding intro.

Even without actually hearing the altered melody, Shiina Ritsuki was completely stunned, her eyes trembling uncontrollably as she stared at the sheet music.

Kazami Mei only listened to it once.

How could someone find their mistakes and make such precise improvements after listening to a song only once?

[Lixi, perhaps this way of changing it would be better?]

In a daze, Shiina Riki seemed to see a blue figure.

That figure, like the warmest ray of spring sunshine, stood quietly beside her.

She could almost hear the other person's gentle yet powerful whispers in her ear. Her appearance was like crystal-clear spring water, making her already insecure heart ache even more.

Chapter Four: I have absolutely no ulterior motives towards my good brothers.

"Shiina?"

The sudden sound brought Shiina Ritsuki back to her senses.

The girl's clean, fair face showed a slight change in expression, and her deep purple eyes seemed to contain a meaningful light. Her jade-like right hand gently brushed aside a strand of smooth, black hair that shone brightly by her ear.

When she spoke again, the girl's face no longer seemed to show the confusion she had just shown.

She looked at the handsome, black-haired boy in front of her, pursed her lips, and took a soft breath—

"...Sorry, I was a little distracted."

"I got distracted while doing this too."

Kazami Mei narrowed her dark eyes and began to complain.

He wasn't distracted because of his cold, but because his 'good brother' Li Xi was so beautiful that he completely lost his attention.

Shiina Tatsuki probably didn't realize just how alluring her move was!

Although Shiina Ritsuki usually has a sharp and aggressive gaze, once the impatient Ritsuki calms down, she immediately transforms from a grumpy 'good buddy' into a captivating black-haired ice beauty!

The already beautiful and delicate face will be in stark contrast at this moment!

think carefully.

As a close friend, Li Xi not only has fair and translucent skin, but his stunning face with a beautiful beauty mark under his eye is enough to call him a great beauty. In addition, his front armor is second only to the long-term vegetarian in the band, and because he needs to exercise frequently as a drummer, he has a well-proportioned figure and long, beautiful legs.

Aside from being a bit short, Li Xi's overall appearance is truly outstanding.

Even Kazami Mei almost had some inappropriate thoughts about his good brother.

"...Then I'll continue."

Kazami Mei quickly took a deep breath, banishing the thoughts that were detrimental to their 'brotherly bond,' and continued to explain the problems with the sheet music to Riki in a low voice.

Sitting in front of him, Shiina Tatsuki simply stared intently at his face. Perhaps because they were talking about music, a topic he was good at, Kazami Mei couldn't help but smile confidently.

His bright black eyes were fixed solely on the sheet music before him, without the slightest deviation.

Give your full attention.

The more Shiina Ritsuki talked to him about 'composition', the more he felt the gap between himself and Kazami Mei. Even though they were sitting in a coffee shop with only a square table between them, Ritsuki felt that the distance between them was getting farther and farther.

Kazami Mei's presence is even more reassuring than Toyokawa Shoko's in the past.

The more outstanding and reliable Kazami Mei becomes, the more intense Shiina Tatsuki's anxiety will become.

"Ahem...!"

Because he had talked quite a bit, Kazami Mei's throat seemed a little hoarse.

He had just taken a sip of coffee to moisten his throat when he immediately started coughing violently. This sudden change in the situation made Shiina Riki's eyes widen, and his brows furrowed with unconcealed anxiety.

Impatient Shiina Tatsuki immediately frowned, quickly reaching out to stroke Kazami Naruto's forehead with the back of her hand, while asking with a hint of worry, "Kazami, are you really alright?"

I didn't feel any significant burning sensation on the back of my hand, so it seems that I haven't reached the worst stage of 'fever' yet. However, Kazami is still sick with a cold, so I should definitely let him stay home and rest.

As a result, because he had taken on the composing work without authorization, he decided to meet with me before he had fully recovered.

Upon realizing this, Shiina Tatsuki was instantly filled with regret.

"Forget about the coffee, Kazami, you should go home right now!"

"Hey, that's 350 yen a cup—"

Seeing Shiina Riki snatch the remaining half cup of coffee from in front of him like a housekeeper, Kazami Mei's eyes widened immediately, and the resistance on her face seemed to solidify into a tangible form.

However, Shiina Riki's attitude was very firm in this state. Of course, she would not obey Kazami Mei's wishes. She just frowned and put on her usual cold and serious look, and quickly put away the sheet music that Kazami Mei had modified.

"Kazami, don't worry about the band these next few days."

"I will arrange the training and arrangement, and I will finish writing the music before you recover."

Shiina Tatsuki spoke with an unquestionable, forceful tone. Without waiting for Kazami Mei to reply, her sharp eyes softened, and she quickly walked out of the store with the sheet music, as if fleeing.

She can't stay here any longer.

If she stays alone with Kazami Mei for too long, her brain will become sluggish.

"Will you finish writing this before I recover...?"

Upon hearing Shiina Tatsuki's confident words, Kazami Mei's expression gradually became somewhat subtle.

He has completely recovered from his fever after taking medicine and resting well today. He only has some cold and cough symptoms left. With his 'Health Enhancement', he will be completely cured of his cold in two or three days at most.

During this period of time, Shiina Tatsuki was to finish writing the entire piece?
