How can my simulation be a real love?

The active idol who was the first to follow her and caused this situation still had a thoughtful expression on her face. She probably didn't expect to encounter Xiangzi while gathering information.

Kazami Mei let out a long sigh and nodded somewhat resignedly.

"The situation is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a short time."

"It just so happens that this place is relatively close to RiNG, so how about we go over there and explain things to you in detail?"

Of course, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't refuse any of Kazami Naru's requests right now. Upon hearing his words, she immediately smiled and agreed. Mikami Hatsuka was also well aware that she was the one who caused this situation, so she couldn't just run away after causing trouble.

Only Toyokawa Shoko showed a hint of hesitation, and her gaze toward Mikasa Hatsuka was somewhat meaningful.

After a moment of contemplation, she finally nodded.

……

"strangeness……"

"Why does it feel like Mingming isn't home?"

Having arrived at Kazami Naru's house, Chihaya Aine stood on tiptoe and strained her beautiful, blinking eyes to peer through the cat's eye.

She had been knocking on the door for ages but Kazami Mei hadn't come to open it, which made the already anxious pink-haired girl even more flustered.

Even when he had a fever and a bad cold, Kazami Mei would still drag himself over to open the door for him.

But today, her boyfriend just casually sent a message on LINE saying, "I'm not feeling well today, so I'm taking the day off from training." The brief message didn't explain his specific situation, which made Ms. Aine a little confused.

"Could he have fallen ill again?"

"No, we have to open the door first!"

Miss Ai looked at the windowsill next to the apartment, where various pots and jars for growing flowers and plants were placed.

With a glint of cunning in her eyes, she picked up the flowerpots one by one. It wasn't until she picked up the third pot with cucumbers that she noticed the spare key stuck to the bottom.

"Others would probably be dumbfounded in this situation, right?"

"Hmph~ That's the wisdom of a wife."

Chihaya Aine proudly raised her cute little head, while also puffing out her already flat chest.

Chihaya Aine was Kazami Mei's wife, someone who had been through a lifetime with her. How could she not know her boyfriend's usual habits?

Just by possessing this kind of information that others cannot, Chihaya Aine is destined to be worlds apart from other fox spirits. Feeling extremely proud, Miss Aine slowly opened the security door.

She didn't tell anyone about her surprise visit today, because she was worried about a repeat of the last time she was disturbed by Dengdeng.

Chihaya Aine was confident that during this time alone, she could use a few charming little tricks to steal her boyfriend's heart!

"Mingming?"

The girl called out softly, but still received no response.

Sensing something, Miss Aine slowly took off her jet-black round-toed leather shoes. Her pure white stockings, which were translucent to flesh color, gently touched the wooden floor. With this movement, her gray-black pleated skirt began to sway gently at her waist.

The girl's already fair and delicate face was flushed with excitement.

Miss Aine rummaged around near the shoe cabinet for a while, but in the end she had to give up on wearing slippers because she always felt inexplicably uncomfortable wearing guests' slippers.

Next time, I'll just buy a pair of 'girlfriend-only' slippers and put them at Mingming's house.

"Okay, let's take a look first..."

With a hint of anticipation in her heart, Chihaya Aine pursed her lips and walked into the house. She glanced around the kitchen but couldn't find Kazami Mei. Suddenly feeling a little nervous, Chihaya Aine peeked her head into the bedroom with a slightly flushed face.

"what?"

Seeing the empty bedroom, the pink-haired girl stared blankly with her mouth agape.

"Wait, where's Naruto?"

Where's my sickly, bedridden boyfriend?!

"He's really not home?!"

Somewhat at a loss, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but tuck a strand of her cherry-pink hair into her hair, and a hint of disappointment flashed clearly in her beautiful, pearly eyes.

Not knowing what to do, she simply sat on Kazami's bed, tilting her head back and looking up at the ceiling in bewilderment.

Bang!

Miss Aine couldn't resist lying on the soft bed, hugging her pillow and secretly taking a sniff.

"It smells so good...it's Chirp's scent..."

As Aine became increasingly engrossed in the music, she suddenly remembered something. The slight confusion in her blinking eyes instantly cleared, and she quickly sat up and looked at the band's Line group chat, but she didn't see any new messages.

It's rather strange that Mingming isn't home.

Chihaya Aine couldn't resist opening Nagasaki Motoyo's Line account, intending to ask if her boyfriend was with her, but then she thought again...

If Kazami Mei really is with Suze, the cunning Suze might deliberately pretend not to have seen the message.

"maybe!"

With her thoughts in mind, Miss Aine opened Shiina Tatsuki's Line interface, hesitated for a moment, and then began to gently tap with her fair and smooth fingers.

[Chihaya Aine: Rikki, do you know where Naruto went today?]

[Shiina Tatsuki: Here with me]

【Chihaya Aine:? 】

……

"So what exactly are you guys doing right now?"

Standing at the RiNG counter on the second floor, Shiina Tatsuki ignored the string of messages following the pink-haired girl, put away her phone, and frowned deeply as she looked at what was in front of her.

She hadn't thought anything of it when she saw Kazami Naru walk in, but she couldn't hold back when Nagasaki Motoyo followed beside her with a smile.

Shiina Riki initially thought that Kazami Mei was bringing Motoyo to apologize, but who knew that Nagasaki Motoyo was followed by Toyokawa Shoko.

Is this Bull Demon King here to apologize?

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that Kazami Mei had led the Japanese soldiers into the village!

"Lixi-chan, please give me four cups of Darjeeling."

Nagasaki Motoyo seemed completely unconcerned about this.

She merely held up four fingers to Shiina Tatsuki with a playful tone, but before she could even finish her sentence, Toyokawa Shoko, sitting next to Kazami Mei, responded coldly—

"I don't have to."

Sitting to Kazami's left, Nagasaki Motoyo squinted her silvery-moon-like eyes, her two delicate white hands gently clasped together, her hidden azure pupils observing Toyokawa Shoko sitting to Kazami's right out of the corner of her eye.

Her intense gaze held a profound meaning.

As expected, when Xiangzi sat down, he chose to sit next to Ming without hesitation.

As for the pretty blonde girl, although her actions with Kazami Mei were a bit ambiguous before, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't see any obvious 'features' on her along the way, so there's no need to keep a close eye on her for now.

But she remained vigilant, after all, who knew whether the girl was deliberately faking it?

Perhaps because she herself is very good at 'disguising', Nagasaki Motoyo is quite sensitive to this.

"...Wait, what on earth is going on?"

Shiina Tatsuki's lips twitched slightly.

She really didn't expect Su Shi to casually ask her to order food. Completely confused, she looked at Feng Jianming's face and found that he just shook his head at her with a subtle expression.

can't read.

In the end, didn't Kazami say that Motoyo would come over to apologize?

Why are you bringing Xiangzi, who has already left the band, along with you now?

And why is Mitsuba Hatsuka, one of my companions, also here?

Do they know each other?

A jumble of questions filled his mind, making Shiina Riki inexplicably irritable.

Although she felt the situation was a bit chaotic, Shiina Riki only knew that she didn't have much affection for Nagasaki Motoyo. Her sharp and delicate willow-leaf eyebrows gradually turned into an inverted V-shape.

Her already somewhat intimidating purple eyes stared coldly at Su Shi, and Shiina Ritsuki spoke in an extremely indifferent tone—

"You came here... not because of CRYCHIC, right?"

This short sentence perfectly expresses Shiina Tatsuki's attitude at this moment.

If Nagasaki Motoyo dared to say "yes" with a smile right now, even if Kazami Mei were to grab her leg to stop her, it would be absolutely impossible to prevent her from flying into a rage.

A complex look flashed in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes when she heard 'CRYCHIC'.

She looked up at Shiina Ritsuki's cold and rejecting gaze. When she chose to leave the band, Ritsuki was the one with the most intense emotions. Even now, Ritsuki still looks at her with indifferent eyes.

Shoko Toyokawa, her emotions somewhat turbulent, took a deep breath. But just as she was about to explain earnestly that she wouldn't be returning, Motoyo Nagasaki, sitting opposite her, suddenly spoke first in a gentle and graceful manner—

"No, I've completely given up on CRYCHIC."

Nagasaki Motoyo gently lifted her smooth chin with both hands, like a bridge, and spoke with a smile in an incredibly gentle tone.

Now, all she wants is to find a place to call home for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but look at Kazami Naruto. Just staring at his face at this distance made her feel a burning sense of happiness. If it weren't for the other people around them...

Nagasaki Motoyo could only barely suppress this emotion by tightly clutching her fingers.

"what?"

Shiina Riki stared wide-eyed at Nagasaki Motoyo in disbelief.

Of course, it wasn't just Li Xi who was shocked by her change; it was Toyokawa Shoko who was most shocked by her transformation. Just yesterday, Nagasaki Sosuke was at the ramen shop, trying to win her back by appealing to her emotions and persuading her to come back and form a band with everyone.

Did he completely change his mind after just one night?

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly felt that she couldn't see through the other person anymore.

"..."

Only Kazami Mei knows for sure that Suze wasn't lying; she probably really has given up on CRYCHIC now.

Nagasaki Motoyo doesn't seem to intend to elaborate on this topic at this time.

She merely narrowed her blue eyes, which held little smile, and gently combed the strands of hair on her shoulder with her slender, long fingers. As if feigning contemplation, she tilted her head slightly and looked at Toyokawa Shoko with a light laugh.

"Shall I explain this to Riki-chan in detail later?"

But the instant she turned to look at Kazami Naruto, her tone immediately changed to one of utmost gentleness and kindness as she spoke—

"Now, shall we hear more from Ming about other things?"

"That's true, then let me explain briefly..."

Seeing that the topic had been thrown back to her by Ms. Suze, Kazami Mei gave a brief account of how she met Misaki Hatsuka. Upon learning that it was really just a 'coincidence' among the girls, their eyes lit up with a different light.

"Oh, I see. It seems everyone just had some misunderstandings."

Nagasaki Motoyo secretly breathed a slight sigh of relief; in reality, she was only outwardly calm.

When she bumped into Kazami Mei and Misumi Hatsuka in such an intimate position, even the usually 'masterful' Suze couldn't help but waver.

She was already prone to anxiety, but her eyes still held a gentle light as she looked at Kazami, feeling her heart pounding faster and faster, and her mind began to replay the contents of the 'dream'.

If she couldn't hug him, Nagasaki Motoyo might die.

"That's right, I just wanted to say hello."

Misaka Hatsuka smiled flawlessly and nodded slightly.

As she began to explain, her gaze remained fixed on Nagasaki Motoyo, Shoko's former bandmate. Motoyo's eyes would always unconsciously drift toward Kazami Mei, and a gentle smile would occasionally appear on her lips.

Human micro-expressions are perhaps very difficult to hide.

Mikasa Chika naturally realized that Nagasaki Motoyo had unusual feelings for Kazami Mei. If you count the 'Takamatsu Akari' she met before and Shoko whom she knew, there were at least three girls who had special feelings for him.

Li Xi doesn't know for now, but Sanko Chu Hua's intuition as a woman tells her that it's not that simple.

Mikasa remembers that there is also a green-haired girl with an expressionless face in CRYCHIC, and maybe even the remaining girl has different feelings for Kazami Mei.

If Kazami Naruto deliberately wanted to toy with their feelings, it would probably be very easy for him, right?

"Is that so?"

Toyokawa Shoko furrowed her delicate brows slightly and nodded thoughtfully.
