How can my simulation be a real love?

Then, with a touch of earnestness, he began to offer his advice—

"You're a girl after all, so don't get so close to any guy of the opposite sex so easily. Even with friends, you have to be careful. If you're not careful, someone might take advantage of you... Do you understand what I'm telling you?"

Miss Lena, who is as cute as a cat, still doesn't quite understand what Lixi is saying.

She only knew that it was normal for her to be with Kazami Naru. She had slept with Naru before, so why was it a problem now that they were just getting a little close?

"Rinrinko-nee, bring me a matcha parfait."

Just as the cat was about to retort, Kazami Naruto suddenly raised his hand and chose to explode the gold coins.

With his keen senses, he vaguely sensed that the topic seemed to be heading in a dangerous direction, and that one wrong step could lead to utter ruin!

"Kazemi, aren't you spoiling her a little too much?"

Shiina Tatsuki's eyes held a hint of helplessness.

"You'd better be careful about your spending."

Seeing that Kazami Naruto had bought another expensive matcha parfait, and considering that he had previously treated everyone to an apology and ordered two mochas, the burden on his wallet was getting quite heavy.

Shiina Tatsuki knew that he usually relied on part-time jobs to make a living, so how could he spend money so carelessly?

Kazami Mei also looked at his good brother, Riki, with some surprise.

She hasn't even married into the family yet, and Lixi is already thinking about her expenses?

"No problem, I'm quite well-off financially lately."

This is a lie——

Recently, Kazami Narumi secretly swiped his card while having dinner with the adorable Sho, which was quite a large expense. After that, he was busy with band live performances and dealing with Nagasaki Motoyo's affairs, so he didn't work much. In addition, there were occasional unexpected expenses...

We're almost out of ammunition and supplies!

But how can a man say no?

If all else fails, he can ask Miss Su Shi for help and have the wealthy lady lend him some money.

“Matcha~”

Lenai sat excitedly in the chair, gently swinging her little feet, her soft white hair swaying gently with her movements.

As a plate of vibrant green matcha parfait was brought to the table, her eyes lit up. She picked up a spoon and began to savor it, the delighted expression on her cute face prompting Shiina Ritsuki, who was standing next to her, to raise an eyebrow.

"So, what exactly are you here for?"

The cat was enjoying her matcha parfait when Shiina Tatsuki asked her a question. She tilted her head in confusion and casually replied with a spoon in her mouth, "Live, let's play."

Live?

Most people might not understand the meaning of the short word "Rakuna," but both Kazami Mei and Shiina Tatsuki could understand it. Shiina Tatsuki immediately realized what was going on and spoke up—

“We haven’t been preparing for any live performances for a while now, and the band’s ensemble practice has also been temporarily suspended for some reasons. Didn’t I already mention all of this in the group chat?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shiina Riki suddenly remembered that the stray cat didn't even read the messages.

So, with her strong initiative, she took the other person's phone without hesitation and taught her step by step how to open Line in front of her. As for typing, it wasn't so easy to teach her all at once; at least she had to teach her how to join a group and read messages.

Upon hearing that there had been no live performances or training sessions recently, a hint of boredom flashed clearly in Yoru Nai's eyes.

She only came here today to play with the band. Finding that there was no band and she couldn't cling to Kazami Naru and act cute, Rakuna was extremely bored. She finished the remaining matcha parfait in a few bites, turned around, and pulled her little cart toward the door.

The other party's casual attitude, appearing and disappearing like a shadow, caused Shiina Tatsuki's expression to stiffen.

She rubbed her temples wearily before slowly getting up and said in a cold tone, "My rest time is almost over."

"I don't care if Su Shi comes back to apologize later. If she's still missing and out of contact after a while, I'll just find someone else to replace her..."

"After all, our band can't just stop here."

After Shiina Ritsuki seriously uttered those words, he turned and left without any politeness. However, even this was enough to satisfy Kazami Mei. At least Ritsuki was willing to wait for Suze for a while longer.

This way, he will still have time to solve the problem.

"I really need to speed things up. If all else fails..."

Kazami Mei spoke with a slight headache, and the simulator interface appeared the moment she closed her eyes.

Number of simulations: 15

[Simulated characters: Nagasaki Motoyo, Toyokawa Shoko...]

The number of simulations has increased so rapidly lately that it has reached double digits, leaving him somewhat at a loss as to how to use it.

The moment Kazami was forcibly kissed by the confused Aine, it directly increased the number of simulations by five. The impact was several times that of holding hands and hugging. This made Kazami Mei understand what she needed to rely on to quickly increase the number of simulations.

If Xiao Mu and Le Nai are both simulation subjects, then the number of simulations he has done now is probably in the sky.

"The simulation is started at the current point in time, which means that simulation can also be used as a means of predicting the future."

As long as the simulation continues, the road will keep extending.

Kazami Naruto, who had already left RiNG, was filled with thoughts.

Just as he was considering whether to start the simulation before Toyokawa Shoko in Nagasaki, he inexplicably found himself near a deserted commercial street, the atmosphere of which was somewhat similar to the old alleys of Shimokitazawa.

The stone walls in this area always seem to have traces of green moss in their cracks, and the leaves rustling in the breeze make a crisp 'whoosh' sound. The bright sunlight shines through the gaps in the shade of the trees, casting a warm glow on the walls.

Judging from the appearance of the commercial street, it may have once been a bustling place.

Because there are many shops here that clearly show signs of age, with cracked cement floors and old posters occasionally pasted on the walls, you can feel the scent of time.

However, as time goes by, everything will change.

"Ok?"

With her mood somewhat calmer, Kazami walked along the street, her gaze casually sweeping over the walls of the commercial street.

Outside one of the record stores, there were some old, yellowed posters. He glanced at them casually and immediately spotted a familiar red-haired girl with dyed highlights on one of the posters, along with the words "Afterglow" promoting a performance.

Not only the names of the various bands, but also the words "LiveHouse" in the upper left corner.

"SPACE?"

Kazami Mei squinted and softly read out the somewhat blurry words on the poster, as if she could hear a series of light, melodious sounds in her ears.

His footsteps followed the flow of the music in the air, unconsciously moving towards the direction of the sound, until he gradually stopped when he passed through the alley and arrived at a parking lot covered by vehicles.

meow~

I could almost hear the soft meows of a cat, which gradually blended with the sound of the steel string vibrating.

It wasn't until they reached the steps on the side of the parking lot that Kazami Mei finally found the source of the sound. A white-haired girl holding an old-fashioned electric guitar was swaying gently, her right hand plucking the strings with a pick.

A group of wild cats of various colors surrounded the girl, as if they were having some kind of fun party.

I've been drinking too much and my eyes are starting to blur; my cat seems to have turned into a catgirl.

……

……

23

Chapter Twenty-Three, CRYCHIC, is not over yet.

“Hmph~Hmph~”

Surrounded by stray cats, white-haired Lena softly hummed the gentle melody of "Spring Shadows," while skillfully plucking the steel strings of the guitar with the tip of her pick. As the steel strings vibrated and bent, melodious and gentle music continuously rang out. She seemed to be immersed in her own world as she played the guitar.

Her emotions intertwined with the musical notes, permeating the air through the instruments.

Without a doubt, the cat who has been playing guitar since she was a child has a talent that is hard for ordinary people to imagine. She not only has a talent for musical performance skills, but also an innate ability to incorporate emotions into her performances.

The eccentric Lena seems to be completely immersed in playing music at all times. The moment she picks up the guitar, there are no more distracting thoughts in her mind. She simply lets out her inner emotions to the fullest.

All you need to do is give a truly exhilarating performance, and that's enough!

Meow!

The stray cats around saw Kazami Naru approaching without them noticing, and being timid by nature, they were all frightened and quickly darted away.

At that moment, Lena, who was enjoying the performance, suddenly stopped playing with her cat paws and slowly opened her beautiful heterochromatic yellow and blue eyes.

"Humph~"

The girl looked at Kazami Naruto not far away with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Her originally calm face seemed to show more interest, and her thin cherry lips immediately turned into a cute 'W' shape. Her slightly narrowed eyes showed obvious smiles.

"Sorry, I scared away all the audience members next to you."

When Kazami saw the stray cat beside Yoruichi run away because of him, his alertness immediately spiked.

After realizing what had happened, he quickly apologized to the cat, but the kind-hearted white cat didn't care at all. She gently held the guitar with her two little hands and stared at him with her beautiful eyes without blinking.

"Ming, want to play together?"

She simply pursed her lips and gave a slightly interested smile, then gently patted the spot next to her with her paw.

As the sun gradually sank below the horizon, its warm and dazzling orange-red light covered the land like a veil. The sunset's glow shone through the gaps in the clouds onto the steps of the tiled staircase, as if draping a golden-red wedding gown over the white-haired beauty.

The girl with short, silver-white hair smiled faintly, her delicate eyes narrowed, and extended an invitation to Kazami Naruto without any hesitation.

"Playing adult games?"

Kazami Mei casually made a comment as she walked towards the cat.

He sat down on the dusty steps with the carefree girl, and the two of them sat there in this secluded parking lot as comfortably as if they were in their own living room.

Kazami Mei knew, of course, that the 'play' the cat was talking about meant playing music, because the cat was happy as long as it could play with others.

"I don't have my keyboard with me right now."

The problem is that he's currently empty-handed and can only help pick up takeout orders at most.

"Guitar."

Faced with Kazami's slightly apologetic words, the cat simply shook its head. Then, taking advantage of Kazami's inattention, it suddenly stretched out its small hand towards him, with a green pick in its fair and smooth palm.

The word 'SPACE' is clearly engraved on it.

The moment Kazami saw the pick, she suddenly remembered the poster she had seen before.

"Are you suggesting I play?"

"Well."

The white-haired cat nodded gently, a hint of anticipation flickering in its beautiful heterochromatic eyes.

Kazami Mei noticed the other person's gaze and seemed to vaguely sense something.

When Mygo members practice on RiNG, Kazami Naruto would habitually feed the cat a candy after each piece of music was finished. Over time, the cat would come over and ask for candy after each performance.

Kazami Naru, who didn't usually eat much candy, started to get used to eating some because she always carried candy with her.

"I don't think I brought any candy with me today..."

Seeing Ryuna's expectant eyes, Kazami Naru felt a little embarrassed, but he still tried to take something out of his pocket until he suddenly felt a few beautifully packaged chocolates.

No, where did this come from?

Kazami raised an eyebrow in confusion, and after thinking for a moment, suddenly remembered that these chocolates seemed to have been taken from the Su family.

When Mrs. Nagasaki invited Kazami Naru to her home, she brought a large number of high-end sweets that he couldn't usually afford. Before leaving, he unceremoniously ate and took a lot of them with him.

It wasn't until I took it out of my pocket now that I suddenly remembered this.

"Ah~"

Rakuna leaned close to Kazami Naru, opened her little mouth, and struck a cute pose as if asking to be fed.

Kazami Mei, who had already been trained by all sorts of beautiful girls, just scoffed. Did a mere cat really think it could use such a simple trick as cuteness to get free food and drinks from him?

He disdainfully peeled off the chocolate wrapper himself, then skillfully fed it into Yao Le Nai's little mouth.

“Delicious~”

Lenai stuck out her little tongue and gently licked the corner of her mouth, a hint of allure flashing in her slightly narrowed heterochromatic eyes.

Oh no, why does the cat seem a little lewd?

Kazami Mei took a deep breath and quickly suppressed the strange thoughts in her mind.

You can't have such thoughts; it's even worse than having feelings for your best friend!

"Then, Lena, can I borrow your guitar for a moment?"
