How can my simulation be a real love?

The purple bromeliads you planted in your garden when you got married have now completely bloomed throughout the garden. You sit there on the garden bench, leaning on each other, surrounded by countless loving flowers—

Just like the romance and beauty of your past dates.

[You and she gently intertwine your fingers in the sunlight, as if you've returned to the time when a young girl first confessed her love. With courage, she boldly revealed the love hidden in her heart, marking the beginning of your story.]

Even at the very last moment of her life, she smiled as brightly as ever.

[End of simulation]

"call……"

Kazami Mei stared at the four large characters 'Simulation End' on the simulation panel, a surge of indescribable emotions filling his entire body.

After all his hard work, he finally completed the most successful simulation to date, and he didn't even need to use a revival coin to restart.

There were originally sixteen simulation opportunities, but seven of them were used up in this simulation with Miss Su Shi. The remaining nine simulations might be enough to unlock another target, but he probably won't be simulating any more for the time being.

"This time it really went smoothly."

Miss Su Shi's love is so profound.

The deep affection she expressed was almost irresistible.

However, he also vaguely sensed from this simulation that the deeper his interactions with others in real life would become, the greater the obstacles he would encounter in the simulation. If he were to become lovers with someone in real life one day, the simulation might not be able to continue.

However, there's no point in him thinking about it now.

"Alright, let's check the ratings."

Kazami Mei immediately looked at the scoring screen after the simulation ended, and a sense of anticipation grew in her heart.

Rating: 96

[Comment: Once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant; once you've beheld the clouds of Wushan, other clouds seem pale in comparison. The love between you and her is like a crystal flower. Her heart is as fragile and delicate as crystal, yet happiness and love give her courage. You have frozen time with responsibility and love, making your relationship eternal.]

She once chose to wear a mask of 'hypocrisy' because of her maturity and understanding. The loneliness and emptiness in her heart could not be filled by any material things, and the 'home' in her heart unexpectedly crumbled. She is now wandering aimlessly on this empty road.

Your appearance became a turning point in her life. At first, she may have just used you as a substitute for someone else, but as time went by, she gradually became obsessed with your selfless help and love. Only you chose to accept her after being abandoned, and your existence became her 'place of refuge'.

You have achieved a perfect score! You have received the settlement reward [Su Shi's Reconnaissance and Counter-Reconnaissance Lv.3], and can choose five of the following seven simulation rewards.

【1. [Musical Prodigy Kazami Ruri] Bass Lv.3 (Kazami Ruri, who has been called a 'musical prodigy' since childhood, possesses bass skills at the age of twelve. Even though she is only in her twenties, she has already shown the potential of a genius at such a young age.)】

【2, Nagasaki Motoyo's Wise Wife Cooking Lv.3 (Perhaps it was just her superb cooking skills used to support herself, but after meeting you, they have been infused with her love and gentleness as a wife, and the dishes she makes have a healing effect on the body and mind)】

[3. Nagasaki Motoyo's engagement ring (a wedding ring symbolizing her vow of love, which she wore at all times, even after their marriage, making it a very meaningful keepsake)]

[4. "Forget Me Not" (A song that Kazami Mei seriously composed for Nagasaki Motoyo in this simulation. This song made Mygo its first appearance at a major music festival and has great commemorative significance)]

[5. A custom-made mechanical watch given to her father by Kazami Ruri (a carefully prepared gift from her daughter to Kazami Mei on her birthday; she spent all her allowance on this watch, making it a very meaningful keepsake)]

[6. Operations and Management Lv.2 (In this simulation, Feng Jianming has some work experience as a music producer, which can easily help him find the direction and goals for the band's development and provide appropriate plans to achieve them)]

[7. Barista level 2 upgraded to level 3]

"96 points."

Although it still didn't reach the perfect score of 100, this was the highest score that Kazami Naruto had ever achieved in all the simulations.

Even the Nijisanji simulation with the pure love IF route, which had such a smooth and perfect ending, only scored 95 points. However, Nagasaki Motoyo's simulation this time was even higher than before. If there is any difference, it is probably because Motoyo 'completed the game in one life'.

This was the only simulation that did not fail even once.

It's also possible that the gentle and virtuous Miss Suze's love for him was so deep that even when various problems arose, she never thought of breaking up with Kazami Mei. Perhaps this is why Kazami Mei had the opportunity to solve the problems.

"What does this settlement reward mean... 'Su Shi's reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance'?"

He's not going to become a Moon Forest agent, so what use is this skill to him?

Rather, why does Miss Su Shi possess such strange and unusual skills?

Since it was a settlement reward, Kazami Naruto couldn't refuse. He glanced at it briefly and then turned his attention to the other reward bounties he could choose from. This time, it was another luxurious reward of choosing five out of seven, which could give him a big boost. He had to choose carefully.

"Seven choices, five options—how should I choose?"

Kazami Mei hesitated for a moment, then focused her gaze on the options in front of her.

First of all, the seventh barista's skill can be completely ruled out. His current skill level in coffee is already sufficient at Lv.2, and he doesn't plan to develop it too high. Instead, he would rather focus on other more valuable reward options.

I must take my daughter's gifts and skills with me; these are irreplaceable keepsakes.

The original song, "Don't Forget Me," was called a "singable love letter" by Shiina Tatsuki, but that was based on the fact that everyone knew Kazami Mei and Nagasaki Motoyo were dating. In reality, it wouldn't feel out of place for him to use it.

But it's Miss Su Shi's engagement ring...

Kazami Mei hesitated for a moment and then gave up on taking the 'ring' as a souvenir. These engagement rings are all engraved with names, and taking it would have the same effect as the painting 'Summer' that Ms. Nijika simulated, which could potentially cause a lot of trouble.

Let's skip the renewable souvenirs. The 'Operations and Management' skill is a better choice. Once you get this skill, Kazami Naruto will become an operations person and be able to help the band find a direction for future development. It will be very useful for him right now.

"Choose 1, 2, 4, 5, 6!"

【Nagasaki Motoyo's Wise Wife Cooking】Lv.3 and 【Love's Cooking】Lv.4 overlap to form the skill 【Ultimate Beloved Wife Cooking】Lv.5】

No, you're Seto Kaiba?

The loving culinary skills of the three wives have somehow fused together into an 'ultimate' dish; anyone who didn't know better would think it was a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!

If his clothes explode when he tastes his food next time, will he have to shout "Destructive Explosive Gale Bullet" then?

[Simultaneously detected 'guitar', 'bass', 'piano', and 'drum set'. [Musical Genius] Lv.1 upgraded to [Musical Genius] Lv.2]

Kazami Naruto has experienced the effects of being a musical genius Lv.1 firsthand. A piece that used to require several repetitions to gradually become familiar with, he could now play perfectly after just one glance when he was a mercenary with Hailin.

Now that we've upgraded, we don't know what improvements we'll get.

While still pondering, Kazami Mei suddenly felt dizzy. The fatigue from finishing the simulation in one go was indeed quite strong. He reached out and gently rubbed his temples, and the inexplicable faint stinging sensation seemed to still be there.

"I feel a sharp pain in my temples; I don't think I felt this dizzy during the previous simulations..."

Perhaps because of the simulation of Nagasaki Motoyo, Kazami Mei had conducted two 'personal simulations' in a row, which put a bit too much strain on her mind. Exhausted, Kazami Mei simply lay flat on the bed and began to digest today's content.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Because this is fate.

The warm light of the rising sun gradually pierced through the clouds, shining through the thin, green curtains onto the clean wooden floor, and its misty glow refracted through the glass in the room onto the girl's face.

The girl's long, flowing hair, bathed in the orange glow of the sunset, seemed to be edged with gold.

Nagasaki Motoyo, who was lying on her side on the bed, had opened her eyes at some point. Her somewhat confused and chaotic mind made her feel dizzy and unable to move for a while.

The light from the window seemed to have penetrated the thin gauze, shining directly onto her beautiful face.

"..."

Nagasaki Motoyo barely managed to lift herself up from the soft bed with her weak right hand. She raised her azure eyes and habitually looked at the head of the bed, where only an alarm clock sat on the swirling wood-grain bedside table.

The alarm clock was set for 8:05.

Even during a leisurely summer vacation, she rarely gets up at this time.

Motoyo Nagasaki, who doesn't believe in staying up late, stayed up until the early hours of the morning again yesterday.

"Is it already morning?"

Nagasaki Motoyo's mind seemed to still be filled with a lot of chaotic images, making her feel a little dizzy.

It felt like I had a very, very long dream—

Although she was fully awake, the images in her dream were still incredibly vivid.

"Ming..."

Nagasaki Motoyo murmured to herself, her hands unconsciously covering her chest, and she didn't even realize that a gentle, beautiful smile had appeared on her face.

This dream is very long.

It felt like she was living her life all over again, from the courageous confession to the awkward romance, then naturally moving in with him, making vows to each other for life, getting engaged, and finally getting married, having children, and growing old together...

The dream was so incredibly realistic.

It even made Nagasaki Motoyo somewhat unable to distinguish whether she was in reality or virtual reality.

"call……"

Feeling somewhat confused, Nagasaki Motoyo slowly sat up. She casually pulled open the curtains beside her, until the hazy, warm morning sunlight stung her eyes, making it difficult for her to open them.

Nagasaki Sosuke nodded slightly as if to confirm.

This is reality.

"It still feels a bit too chaotic..."

Feeling a bit confused, Nagasaki Motoyo gently shook her head.

She looked out the window at the sky, which was turning a pale white, with a somewhat dazed expression. She could almost hear the clear chirping of larks in the distance. She sat back on the bed and began to sort out her current situation.

She married Kazami Mei.

This was the clearest image in her somewhat chaotic memory.

She became husband and wife with Kazami Mei in that incredibly realistic 'dream' world, and even now she can still recall the beautiful image of herself wearing a snow-white wedding dress, smiling as she tossed her bouquet into the sky.

That's great!

Just recalling that scene made the girl slightly purse her lips, and her azure eyes narrowed into crescent moons. The happiness and joy from the bottom of her heart instantly refreshed her body, which had been somewhat tired.

Unable to help but continue to linger in the afterglow of this blissful 'dream'—

but--

The smile on Nagasaki Motoyo's face gradually softened.

The realism of this dream is perhaps a bit too exaggerated.

Now, it seems that as soon as I close my eyes, I can immediately recall every little thing about that black-haired boy. Even the warmth of his embrace and the heart-pounding feeling of kissing him are as clear as if I had personally experienced them.

It's just a beautiful dream; how could there be such a 'detailed' process?

"I do like Naruto right now, and it's perfectly acceptable for me to have some fantasies about him—"

"But if it really was just a simple 'dream,' how could one remember such shameful things?"

Nagasaki Motoyo blushed and murmured to herself, in her dream she had actually taken the initiative to live with Kazami Naru, and after that she suppressed her ever-growing desires and made full preparations before taking him down.

It's really too embarrassing—

I have absolutely no experience in dating!

Yet even the image of riding on his back is so clear to me. You know, dreams automatically skip over 'unexplored areas'. What you don't know, you just don't know. You can't imagine it even in a dream!

"It was definitely not a simple 'dream' after all."

"This is……"

Nagasaki Motoyo lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers, and began to think seriously.

She recalled that the moment she confessed to Kazami Mei at lightning speed in her dream and started dating her was right after today's band practice.

During the "date" where I invited him to dinner alone, after confirming that I liked him, I mustered up the courage to express my love to him, and the two of us naturally became lovers.

After that, their relationship progressed naturally. As it was their first time dating, the two began to try holding hands and hugging, and this close contact brought about a surge of emotions and anticipation.

Her heart, pounding with excitement and happiness, was filled with an unforgettable sweetness.

This is not a 'dream' at all!

This may be a fact that has actually happened, just like the so-called 'predicting the future' in movies!

"call……"

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly felt a stuffy heat all over her body.

Only then did she realize that her cheeks had become incredibly hot, her delicate face flushed red as if it were about to bleed, and she felt an unconcealable flutter and excitement in her heart.

Now she wants to experience the 'love' from her dream firsthand, and she's starting to feel restless about it.

I want to hold his hand, I want to hug him, I want to kiss him...

Before she knew it, Nagasaki Motoyo had already turned on her phone screen.

Nagasaki Motoyo's typing speed, honed through frequent messaging, allowed her to type several lines of text in just a few seconds. However, just as she was about to send the message directly to Kazami Mei's Line, she suddenly realized the situation she was in.

Reality is not a 'dream'; at this moment, Kazami Mei is not her lover.

"Honestly, I was a little too hasty."
