How can my simulation be a real love?

"Then I'll trouble Xiangzi to help me prepare the seasoning for the cucumber salad: 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 3 grams of salt, 3 cloves of garlic, and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar..."

"Salt? Let me see..."

Toyokawa Shoko frowned and stared intently at the condiment dish. Then, without saying a word, she reached out her little hand and grabbed at the white sugar. Wakaba Mutsu, who had been standing next to her from the beginning, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she still couldn't say anything.

The little cucumber's soul is weeping—

Having no other choice, Kazami Mei stopped Shoko from "helping" and relegated her to the side to be in charge of cooking.

Perhaps because she is an expert in making bean sprout bento boxes, Ms. Daisho is only truly skilled at cooking rice. Even Kazami Mei couldn't help but praise her, which pleased the strong-willed Ms. Daisho greatly.

At the same time, Toyokawa Shoko secretly vowed in her heart that she must learn to cook no matter what.

dong dong...

Suddenly, there was another series of muffled knocks at the door, which made Toyokawa Shoko, who was standing in the kitchen, raise her eyebrows in confusion. Suddenly realizing something, she immediately looked up and looked in the direction of Kazami Mei with a questioning gaze.

That questioning look seemed to be asking if he had invited anyone else over.

Kazami Mei, who had worked with Toyokawa Shoko for a long time, immediately understood the meaning behind her gaze and shook his head gently at her without any hesitation.

He invited Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu to come over as guests because he considered that Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu were close enough.

Just considering that Teacher Da Xiang is here, it's absolutely impossible for Feng Jianming to invite all the girls from Mygo over at the same time. As for the AveMujica group, their relationship with Xiangzi is mostly 'work-related,' so if he wants to invite everyone to dinner, he still needs Xiangzi's permission as the team leader.

Of the band members, only Ms. Kita probably knows his address, but her house is quite strict and she wouldn't come over at this time.

"Xiao Mu, could you please open the door again?"

Unable to free up his hands for the moment, Kazami Mei turned to look at Wakaba Mutsumi beside him.

Xiao Mu, with her most obedient personality, was obviously the most suitable person to open the door. The cucumber fairy simply nodded and immediately turned to walk towards the entrance, gently pulling open the iron door just as she had done for Xiangzi before.

"...!"

If Ye Mu remained standing still, staring calmly at the other person, the blue-haired girl who appeared outside the door would also stare back at her expressionlessly. The two pairs of golden eyes remained locked in this staring contest for several seconds.

Chapter Ten: Did you guys plan this together?

"..."

Wearing an apron, Wakaba Mutsu stood there blankly, staring intently at the blue-haired ice beauty with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye opposite her.

Both of them had cold facial expressions, but the moment they saw each other, their faces simultaneously showed obvious signs of being moved.

In particular, Yamada Ryo noticed that Wakaba Mutsu was still dressed as a 'housewife' in front of her. The sudden visual impact made her frown and exchange subtle glances with her.

"..."

Standing at the door, Yamada Ryo slightly opened her mouth, her beautiful pale yellow eyes beside her alluring beauty mark also fixed on Wakaba Mutsu.

Yamada Ryo's goal today is simple: to launch a night raid.

Using the excuse of freeloading a meal, she launched her offensive at Kazami Naruto's house. That's why Ms. Ryo specifically chose to come at 'evening'. The reason she suddenly took action after being silent for so long was because she noticed Kazami Naruto's change when she finished band practice. She noticed that his 'threshold' had increased for some reason.

Yamada Ryo immediately realized that this was clearly a rare opportunity.

Her personality is such that she either doesn't take any action to avoid alerting the enemy, or she launches a blitzkrieg 'decapitation plan' to give the pursued Kazami Naruto no chance to react, and suddenly shows up at his house during dinner time to completely take him down!

Who knew that this sudden 'surprise' from Ruoye Mutsu would lead to the exposure of her plan?

Yamada Ryo initially thought that the naive Wakaba Mutsu was the 'source' of information, and even thought that she might be easy to use. However, he never expected that she was secretly plotting something big behind his back.

Suddenly, she silently ran to Kazami Mei's house, dressed like a newlywed wife.

I was careless. I should adjust this guy's danger level to S.

"Mu, who is that?"

Shoko Toyokawa was puzzled by the silence in the entryway and couldn't help but peek out from the living room with her little blue head. It was at that moment that she looked up and saw Ryo Yamada standing in the entryway.

Toyokawa Shoko:?

No, then who are you?

A completely unfamiliar blue-haired girl stood in the entryway.

Her short blue hair slightly covered her right eye, and her stunningly beautiful face exuded a cool aura. Even in her neutral-toned clothing, she could not hide her tall and slender figure.

Add to that her beauty mark under her eye and her unique ice-cold beauty aura, and Toyokawa Shoko was completely stunned.

"..."

Wakaba Mutsumi, who was standing there in a daze because she was at a loss, and Toyokawa Shoko, who was stunned when she saw Yamada Ryo, and Yamada, who had a mental breakdown when he saw two girls at the same time at Kazami Mei's house.

The three of them stood there, looking at each other in silence.

"What the hell is that noise?"

Kazami Naruto blinked as he looked at the iron pot in the kitchen. Why was there suddenly no sound at the door?

Is the girl praying?

Somewhat puzzled, he still took a step towards the entrance. As soon as he left the kitchen and entered the hallway, he immediately saw three girls standing there looking at each other.

Kazami Naru: ?

No, what's going on here?

Did you guys make plans together?

"Ming, what's going on?"

Yamada Ryo's pale golden eyes were fixed on Kazami Naru's face. Somewhat confused about the situation, she chose to ask him directly.

I'd like to ask that question too.

Unable to resist the urge to complain, Kazami Mei turned around and suddenly noticed that Toyokawa Shoko was also staring at him.

Teacher Da Xiang's furrowed brows clearly expressed his confusion. He had just said that he had not invited anyone else, so what was going on with this aloof and beautiful girl who had suddenly appeared?

Most importantly, she seems to have a close relationship with Kazami Mei.

"Liang, why did you suddenly come to my house?"

"I just happened to be passing by and since I hadn't had dinner, I thought I'd come over for a meal."

Upon hearing this, Kazami Naru straightened his back slightly. If it were anyone else, he might have doubted it, but since it was the bass-obsessed Yamada Ryo in front of him, it seemed he had no choice but to believe it now.

If it were when he was home alone, it wouldn't be a problem for Miss Liang to come over for a meal.

However, this time, Teacher Da Xiang bought a lot of ingredients to 'treat' the guests. It was fine that he brought Ruoye Mu, whom he and Xiangzi both knew well, but the problem was that Teacher Da Xiang did not know Miss Liang.

"Ming, who is she?"

Just as Kazami Mei had predicted, Toyokawa Shoko, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but look up and ask a question.

Perhaps it was because of the strong intuition that women are born with, but she always felt that this girl called 'Liang' was not simple.

After all, how dare she go to a teenage boy's house alone for dinner at such a sensitive time at night? Isn't she afraid that Kazami Naruto will eat her up as dessert?

Or is this actually her real purpose?

"Her name is Ryo Yamada, and she was in charge of bass and composition for the band."

After listening to Kazami Mei's introduction, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes widened slightly.

Actually, she had just been guessing whether the other party was a member of the disbanded band. Now, after getting the definite information from Kazami Naruto, she was finally convinced that this was the threat hidden in the shadows!

But, a bassist?

Could this Yamada Ryo be the ultimate bad woman?

This woman who plays bass in a rock band might be proficient in the three major skills of 'smoking, drinking, and playing around with men,' and her coming over for a free meal at this time of night is, in Toyokawa Shoko's opinion, a lame excuse with a 99% certainty.

Actually, she wanted to beat Kazami Mei to his knees, and then turn him into—

Damn it! How can Ming form a good band with these insects?

Shoko Toyokawa was lost in thought, and after hesitating for a moment, she slowly spoke—

"Since Ms. Yamada is already here, why don't you join us for a meal?"

Although Xiangzi has completely killed her 'weak' self, she wouldn't be so cold as to reject others at this time.

Especially since Yamada Ryo is Kazami Naru's friend and bandmate, if she acts too coldly at this moment, it will naturally make Kazami Naru, who is caught in the middle, feel very awkward.

Toyokawa Shoko was completely thinking of him.

Of course, she also had the idea of ​​testing the other party.

……

Fortunately, Kazami Naruto had prepared a lot of ingredients beforehand, so he was able to handle Ryo-san's sudden arrival.

However, as the ex-wife, Miss Liang is actually a genuine heiress. She is a typical person who never lifts a finger at home and has no experience in cooking except for eating.

As a kitchen helper, he was even less effective than Teacher Da Xiang, who could cook.

Of course, Kazami Mei had planned to cook on her own from the very beginning.

"Haha, here comes the chicken soup."

When Kazami Mei placed the last of the chicken soup on the table, the three girls sitting around her couldn't take their eyes off it.

To ensure everyone could eat what they liked, he prepared a full four dishes and a soup. He specially prepared a portion of both savory Dongpo pork and sweet Mapo tofu, and even a cucumber salad as a cold dish.

The brightly colored dishes emitted bursts of white steam, and the aromas gathered together, transforming into a delicious bomb that could instantly ignite the appetite, easily captivating the girls.

"Is it ready to eat yet, great Lord Kazami?"

Miss Liang, whose eyes were brimming with tears from holding back her emotions, clasped her hands together in gratitude.

Actually, when Kazami Naruto brought out the other dishes, she couldn't resist the urge to sneak a bite. But unfortunately, there was a cold-faced cucumber fairy sitting next to her, and any attempt she made to sneak a bite was instantly intercepted!

Teacher Da Xiang, who had been waiting for a long time, also felt her stomach start to rumble. However, she knew that this was very unladylike, so even if she was craving something, she had to sit up straight.

It even makes one wonder if she would rather starve than touch her chopsticks before Kazami Mei speaks.

"Why are you all staring at me? To eat?"

Seeing the three girls staring intently at him, Kazami Mei, finding it somewhat amusing, simply waved her hand lightly.

"I'm gonna start now!"

The first to act was, of course, Miss Liang, who couldn't wait any longer. She picked up a piece of Dongpo pork and stuffed it into her mouth. She had only chewed it a couple of times when she suddenly froze in place. The rich, juicy, and flavorful aroma of the pork burst forth in her mouth.

The exquisite taste instantly turned her mind into a complete mess.

"good to eat!"

At this moment, Yamada Ryo had already forgotten her original 'plan'; she was probably only thinking about lying on the table and feasting.

Toyokawa Shoko had originally wanted to present herself as a lady to Kazami Mei, but after tasting the hot food, her fingers trembled. Having been eating cheap bento boxes with bean sprouts and rice for a long time, she hadn't had a decent meal in a long time.

Now, after tasting the dish made by Kazami Naruto herself, I feel my eyes starting to well up with tears.

It was so delicious that she didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Mu, what do you think?"

Seeing the happy expressions on Ryo-chan and Sho-chan's pretty faces, Kazami Mei couldn't help but smile and look at Wakaba Mutsu sitting on her right.

She had just tasted the cucumber salad made by Kazami Naruto. The cucumbers she had carefully tended were now being made into this dish by him, and a hint of emotion flickered in Xiao Mutou's usually calm eyes.

Her efforts truly paid off with Ming...

Wakaba Mutsu was like that little cucumber that no one paid attention to, just staying in a corner of the horticulture department.

Nagasaki Motoyo, whom she once relied on heavily, cared about her because of CRYCHIC. Shoko, her childhood friend, didn't have the energy to pay attention to her thoughts. Only Kazami Mei, who was by her side, had been talking to her from the very beginning and cared about her feelings from start to finish.

It wasn't because she was Xiangzi and Su Shi's friend, nor because her surname was 'Wakaba', nor because her mother was Minami Mori—

Simply because she is Wakaba Mutsumi.

"delicious."

With her golden eyes open, Ruoye Mu opened her mouth and spoke softly as usual.

Even though she was not good at expressing her emotions, she was trying her best to convey her happiness and joy to Kazami Naruto in front of her. A faint smile gradually appeared on her usually calm and delicate face.

Even a girl who is as emotionless as a doll can develop a 'heart' because of the care and love of others.

"Really? That's good."
