How can my simulation be a real love?

The options presented this time were clearly not so simple. In Kazami's opinion, it was probably because of his relationship with Ms. Suze that everyone was now deliberately keeping their distance from him.

Xiao Deng, who was quite dependent on him, no longer dared to seek comfort from him, which ultimately led to the current situation.

If this isn't handled well, the band could very well fall apart.

"As the real world changes, simulations are becoming increasingly difficult to conduct."

Kazami Mei took a deep breath, temporarily clearing her mind of those chaotic thoughts.

The most important thing right now is to solve the current problems.

The third option, "Let it be," is clearly a trap set by the simulator. People with psychological issues can't even keep up with their daily training, let alone the band's other activities and, most importantly, their live performances.

If this trend continues, Mygo will eventually face dissolution and collapse.

As for the second option—

Having Nagasaki Motoyo comfort Takamatsu Akari seems like a suitable option, but it probably won't be very effective. After all, Takamatsu Akari is deliberately keeping her distance because of her relationship with Motoyo, so the problem still lies with Kazami Mei herself.

Kazami Mei turned his attention to the last and first option, and decided to go up and comfort Kodama himself.

This option seems to be the easiest one to solve the problem.

The problem is that Kazami Mei is now Nagasaki Motoyo's lover, and if he gets too close to other girls at this time, it may make Nagasaki Motoyo, who already lacks a sense of security, feel panicked, which could become a significant problem in the end.

Even if Kazami Naruto were to personally simulate the situation again at this point, it would be difficult for him to come up with a more suitable option.

"We just have to try."

Kazami Mei raised her deep black eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

At this moment, Miss Su Shi would probably be angry and uneasy, but Kazami Naruto has already decided on her for life. No matter how much security and 'love' Miss Su Shi lacks, he will give her everything without reservation, so that she knows that he will never leave her.

[You chose to personally comfort the self-reproaching Gao Songdeng. That familiar and warm pat on the head immediately eased Gao Songdeng's anxiety. She stared wide-eyed, pursed her lips, unsure of what to do. The others were clearly also surprised that you would do this.]

[Rakuna, who had been looking bored, seemed to have become somewhat interested and suddenly took a step and snuggled into your arms. The stray cat's sudden action made Chihaya Aine, who had been hesitant, unable to hold back any longer. She insisted on coming over and asking you to pat her head. Shiina Ritsuki's stiff face gradually relaxed.]

[Everyone seems to have overcome their previous concerns and is now relaxed, getting closer to you again.]

Only Nagasaki Motoyo frowned slightly, looking down and fiddling with her fingers.

After band practice ended, Nagasaki Motoyo followed you out of the practice room with a somewhat dim look in her eyes. She seemed to want to show her usual gentle smile as before, but you could clearly sense that Nagasaki Motoyo was forcing herself to do so.

She smiled and said she wanted to go back and calm down, so you don't need to worry.

So, you decided—

1. Stop her, explain the reason, and apologize immediately.

2. Let go and let her go back and calm down.

【3. Virtual Reality, Personal Simulation】

Can't this simulator include some more realistic options?

Kazami Mei didn't even glance at the two options before choosing 'personally simulate'.

……

"Ming, I'm so sorry."

"I'm just feeling a little unwell, I'll be fine after I go back and rest."

Nagasaki Motoyo furrowed her delicate and fragile eyebrows. She knew perfectly well that Kazami Mei was doing this for the band's good, but the moment she saw Rakuna hug him...

Even though she thought she was prepared, her heart still clenched violently and uncontrollably.

Why, even now, would something like this still happen?

Not wanting to embarrass Kazami by throwing a tantrum, she immediately smiled and reached out her two soft, boneless hands to comfort him.

A cool sensation emanated from the girl's palms, and Kazami Mei, who was somewhat dazed, adjusted her breathing slightly.

The next moment, he hugged Nagasaki Motoyo tightly.

Nagasaki Motoyo's 'love' is the purest emotion. She would lose her mind because of this most important love, and naturally she would be willing to make concessions for the sake of this 'love'.

She did everything in her power to keep Kazami Mei by her side forever.

Fear arises from caring too much, and unease arises from considering something too important.

Even Nagasaki Motoyo herself was well aware that her love was a little too heavy.

Even though she knew this would definitely put pressure and burden on Kazami Mei, she still couldn't help feeling scared and worried.

"Ming?"

Nagasaki Motoyo was a little taken aback when she was suddenly hugged. The smile she had been maintaining disappeared the moment she was embraced. The two simply hugged each other calmly, feeling each other's heartbeats at such close range.

Memories of the past, bit by bit, are now flooding into his mind.

“Even though she was feeling very sad, she didn’t choose to show it in front of the lamp. Su Shi is really, really amazing.”

Nagasaki Motoyo has really changed a lot because of him. She used to explode after the performance because of Toyokawa Shoko, but now she swallows her emotions to avoid making Kazami Mei feel bad.

"But now I'm all alone here."

"So, Su Shi, you don't need to have any more concerns."

As if a hidden barrier in her heart had been pierced, crystal-clear tears dripped from the girl's flushed skin, leaving several obvious tear tracks on her already pretty and delicate face. She couldn't help but bury her head in the other person's arms and began to sob softly.

Nagasaki Motoyo vaguely recalled the day she first hid in his arms and cried.

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider Su Shi's feelings in time."

"...I, I should be the one apologizing. I was too willful."

Upon hearing Kazami Mei apologize to her first, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but respond softly.

The moment Kazami Mei hugged him tightly, the helplessness and panic that filled his heart seemed to be dispelled by a sudden ray of light. The simple act of hugging was more reassuring than any words at that moment, enough to create an emotional resonance between the two of them.

"I told you before, I like Nagasaki Motoyo as a person."

"Now we need to add one more sentence—"

A faint smile appeared on Kazami Mei's lips as he stared intently into the girl's eyes with his deep black gaze.

"No matter what the future holds, I will always be with Motoyo Nagasaki."

The girl's faint scent of incense wafted through the air, and her clear, bright eyes, like the sky, were tinged with tears. At such close proximity, they could feel each other's hot breath, their intense energy gradually merging and merging—

She wanted to hold that embrace forever.

……

You fully responded to her emotional outpouring, and the promises you made earned her absolute trust in you. In her heart, you no longer just held an important position, but were truly her 'everything'. You both had the right to interfere in each other's lives.

The road ahead is long, and it will take both of us to walk it together.

Even though you are just ordinary high school students, you have already made an irreversible decision for your future. You chose to find Mrs. Nagasaki and express your determination for Motoyo Nagasaki. Such sudden and firm words surprised Mrs. Nagasaki.

[She didn't say much about your initiative. She had actually been aware of your relationship with Nagasaki Motoyo for a while, but she just hadn't said it outright. She was prepared for you to take the initiative to express your feelings, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.]

With Mrs. Nagasaki's support, your relationship with Motoyo Nagasaki will no longer be an obstacle.

You became Nagasaki Motoyo's fiancé.

Engaged?

Although he had long guessed that this step would come, Kazami Naru really did not expect that they would become fiancées so quickly. Right now, he and Ms. Suze are both high school students. They got engaged without hesitation. Mrs. Nagasaki's ability to accept this is too strong, isn't it?

It's no wonder she's Miss Su Shi's mother; they're remarkably similar in terms of their drive and initiative.

[Nagasaki Motoyo, who is now engaged, has changed quite a bit compared to before. She no longer seems to mind if the other members of the band maintain a certain level of closeness with you, because she has now made a lifelong promise with Kazami Mei and has gained a lifelong relationship.]

She put on the pure white engagement ring and would never take it off.

Even though Nagasaki Motoyo rarely uses Twitter, she still posted a photo of the two of them holding hands and wearing engagement rings, which surprised both Shiina Tatsuki and Takamatsu Akari, but they still kindly offered their blessings.

As for Chihaya Aine and Kita Ikuyo, who usually follow each other on Twitter and frequently post photos together, they haven't posted any photos or tweets for a whole month. In particular, Chihaya Aine has even stopped updating her band's Twitter account.

[You learned from Nagasaki Motoyo that Chihaya Aine seems to be spending a lot of time with Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri lately, claiming it's to practice guitar together, but what they're actually doing there is completely unknown.]

Your feelings for Motoyo Nagasaki have deepened.

Even after your engagement, you and Motoyo Nagasaki still value the band highly. Together with the other members of Mygo, you work hard to fulfill your promise to 'be a band for life.' Your training progresses faster and faster over time, and everyone's skill level gradually changes from amateur to capable of standing on their own.

You overhear from Mutsumi Wakaba that a large-scale music festival is about to be held in the Tokyo area, with a venue large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of audience members. Many well-known rock bands have chosen to perform at this music festival.

You clearly sense that this might be an opportunity for Mygo to take another step forward.

So, you decided—

[1. As long as you keep signing up for live streams, your path will continue to expand.]

[2. Temporarily give up and wait for the right opportunity; our current strength may not be enough to compete with popular bands.]

[3. Using money to register, sometimes a little cunning is also necessary]

【4. Virtual Reality, Personal Simulation】

Kazami Mei glanced at the four options that popped up and immediately abandoned the idea of ​​'personally simulating'.

Large music festivals are indeed a rare opportunity. If the performance is good enough, it might be a chance for the new band Mygo to become famous overnight. However, these music festivals are not like regular livehouses where all bands use one stage and take turns performing.

Because the venue is huge, it is divided into a main stage and various smaller stages surrounding the main stage. Popular bands will naturally be assigned to the main stage to perform, but a complete newcomer like Mygo has no chance of getting on the main stage.

"Do you want to use your financial power?"

With Miss Su Shi by his side, he can indeed use the power of money, but using the power of money also has very obvious drawbacks.

First of all, they definitely can't perform on the main stage. If a new band forces their way onto the main stage to perform based on their financial resources, even if the performance is very successful, it may trigger various public opinions and attacks. It's all too common for bands that didn't make it onto the main stage to sabotage them behind the scenes.

Even if Kazami Mei can withstand this pressure, the others in Mygo might not be able to.

The mere sight of the pessimistic and sensitive little lamp made Kazami Mei abandon the idea immediately.

"In that case, it's best to register openly and honestly."

Giving up is definitely not an option; Mygo will have to take this step sooner or later.

[You told the others about your idea of ​​having your band sign up for the music festival. Shiina Tatsuki, who is always focused on training, was the first to agree. Your fiancée, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had caught on, naturally supported your idea unconditionally. After careful consideration, Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Aine also agreed to perform on stage.]

[Determined to give it your all on stage, you devoted almost all your energy to composing new songs and training the band.]

Although Nagasaki Motoyo can't help with the arrangement, she can bring you a perfectly hot cup of coffee when you're working late into the night arranging music, and thoughtfully prepare a towel to wipe the sweat from your face, offering incredibly gentle and silent support from behind.

Even though you spend a lot of time practicing keyboard and composing, it's inevitable that you'll neglect your fiancée. But Nagasaki Motoyo is understanding and says she doesn't mind at all, because she'll make it up to you in other ways after the live performance.

You've seen all of Nagasaki Motoyo's support, which has strengthened your resolve to arrange the music and complete the performance.

[A month before the music festival, you spent two consecutive weeks immersing yourself in training and arranging, and finally completed the 'new song' you would be performing that day. After listening to the song, Shiina Tatsuki, who was assisting with the arrangement, sincerely exclaimed that you are a true genius.]

[You can clearly sense the complex and melancholic emotions in Shiina Tatsuki's eyes. After all, she has been working with you as your support for so long, how could she not hear the profound emotions contained in this song, which was written entirely for someone?]

You named this piece of music "Forget Me Not".

Time moved slowly forward, and soon the large-scale music festival you had been preparing for a long time was successfully launched.

The large music festival performances are about to begin, and dozens of bands are playing their hearts out, vying for the limited audience. However, the combined audience of the smaller stages around the venue cannot even match the number of people on the main stage in the center. This huge disparity is causing some panic among those of you who haven't even started performing yet.

[Especially Nagasaki Motoyo, the bassist, despite training very hard for today, still felt a little insecure as the performance approached. But even though she was nervous, she still comforted everyone and encouraged the others.]

[You understood Nagasaki Motoyo's worries, so before going on stage, you smiled and kissed her forehead, telling her in the gentlest tone to believe in herself.]

Even just her forehead brought out the gentlest look in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes.

[The music festival performance tonight has finally begun. As a new band, you couldn't gather many audience members. There were only a few dozen people in front of you when you started playing. But you were well prepared and were not disappointed. Instead, you did your best to give a great performance for these audience members.]

Holding the microphone, Takamatsu Akira mustered his courage and shouted with all his might. The band's soulful performance seemed to make the whole sky tremble. The electronic keyboard you practiced so hard finally showed the results of your efforts. The highly skilled legato notes kept attracting the surrounding audience. Everyone present seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline by you.

The results of your intensive training during this period were fully displayed, and you delivered a truly rock-and-roll performance under the night sky.

Your relationships with Shiina Tatsuki, Takamatsu Akari, Chihaya Aine, and Kaname Rakuna have deepened.

As expected of my JPG.

Seeing the success of the performance, Kazami Mei finally felt a weight lifted from her shoulders.

He was indeed a little worried about whether there would be any problems with the music festival performance. You know, for such a large-scale live performance, it's not enough to just have an excellent performance. Even if a popular band has worse skills, they can still attract more audiences.

This huge gap may deal a significant blow to Mygo.

After this music festival, things should get back on track smoothly.

The perfect end to the performance brought immense joy to everyone in Mygo. Even Shiina Tatsuki, who was usually the most aloof, couldn't help but cry a little. Nagasaki Motoyo could only comfort her with a smile, patting her back, and decide that everyone should take a good rest for a while.

[You know you've neglected her a bit because of the live performances lately, so you offered to go on dates with her every day for the next week to make it up to her. But Nagasaki Motoyo just smiled gently and shook her head.]
