How can my simulation be a real love?

Fortunately, her decisiveness was the right choice.

"It's definitely safer to do it this way. It would be troublesome if it were accidentally scattered later."

Kazami Mei didn't hesitate and immediately reached out her hand to the girl.

If a man and a woman hold hands while strolling through a temple fair, wouldn't they be seen as a couple by others?

However, Kazami Naruto is currently holding hands with both Kita and Pochi at the same time, which completely changes the situation. In the eyes of others, he will be seen in all sorts of strange and bizarre ways.

At this point, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Huh!?"

Compared to Miss Kita, who immediately took the little hand after Kazami Naru finished speaking, Ichiri Goto, who was as timid as a rabbit, was somewhat at a loss and began to tremble slightly unconsciously.

Although she had just held hands with Kazami Mei a few days ago, holding hands in the closet and holding hands directly are two different things, and they cannot be generalized at all!

"Poch-chan? If you don't hold hands, you might get separated!"

Kita Ikuyo peeked her head out from beside Kazami Naruto. Her words, spoken by a popular person, were like a tight band binding a monkey, causing Pochi to instinctively reach out and grab her.

"..."

As for Kazami Mei's feelings at this moment, they were truly quite complicated.

At the same time, the feeling of holding hands with both of them was hard to describe. Although they were both holding hands, there was a significant difference between the two in terms of feel and other aspects.

If Kita's palms are as warm as the sun, then Pochi's little hands are soft and cool. The two are completely different, yet each has its own unique charm.

Actually, it felt pretty good, it's just that the surrounding gazes were a bit dazzling.

"hey-hey……"

Kita Ikuyo, who had taken hands with Kazami Mei, naturally shifted to an interlocking gesture. After noticing that Kazami Mei didn't react, a bright smile appeared on her lips, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

"Look! It's an amulet!"

The passionate girl seemed to have inexhaustible energy. Her eyes would light up when she saw something that interested her, and she would drag Kazami Naruto and Pochi toward it, and no amount of persuasion could stop her.

"Amulet?"

Kazami Mei looked at the various amulet bags on the stall but showed no interest.

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is just about spending money to buy peace of mind. But he's the kind of person who doesn't believe in superstitions, so buying such an expensive little bag that costs 500 yuan or even more is a bit of a waste. Girls, on the other hand, tend to believe in this kind of thing more.

Ok?

Just as he was casually glancing around, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a white amulet placed in a corner.

The small amulet clearly bears the two characters 'Great Fortune'.

Kazami Naruto, who originally had no interest in such things, had a somewhat unsettling look in his eyes. For some reason, seeing those two words made him feel a little apprehensive, as if he would definitely regret it if he didn't buy it now.

But when he glanced at the price of eight hundred yuan, Kazami Mei still gasped.

That damned, heartless merchant, as punishment, you'll have to farm FGO's unlimited lottery for me.

"Ming Sang, Ming Sang!"

Kita Ikuyo, who was standing next to him, suddenly smiled faintly. She handed him a bright red amulet with yellow and green patterns. The small, bright red amulet was inscribed with the word "Peace".

Before Kazami Mei could react, Kita-san paid the money directly.

"Take this to Ming, as a thank you for teaching me guitar a while ago!"

The girl with fiery red, flowing hair grinned, revealing her adorable white teeth, and her bright eyes sparkled with a meaningful light.

"Ming...Ming-san! I want to give you one too..."

After hesitating for a long time, Miss Pochi lowered her head deeply, and then, under Kazami Naruto's questioning gaze, she directly handed him a light pink amulet with blue patterns. This time, it was inscribed with the word 'career'. He was somewhat amused and exasperated to receive gifts from two girls in a row.

Of course, he couldn't accept their gifts for nothing, so Kazami Mei didn't hesitate to buy two suitable amulets in return.

Just as Kazami Mei was wondering whether she should take the two of them to visit other places next, the procession carrying the 'shrine' suddenly began its parade not far away, causing the surrounding crowd to surge rapidly.

Kazami Naruto, who was still holding the amulet in his hand, turned his head and the two people, Pochi and Kita, who were just standing next to him, disappeared into the vast crowd without him noticing.

"No, this is way too fast!"

We were just saying that if we didn't hold hands, we'd get separated, and now that we've only let go of each other's hands for a short while, we've actually gotten separated?

Just as he was anxiously searching for someone, he seemed to suddenly feel someone gently tugging at the sleeve of his clothes.

"Pochi?"

Just as Kazami Mei thought it would be Goto Ichiri, in the instant he turned his head, he met a pair of beautiful amber eyes that shone with a soft luster, and the other person seemed to have a hint of surprise in their eyes as well.

A gray-haired girl with a pure white ribbon on her head stood beside him, her small hand, hidden inside the sleeve of her kimono, gently grasping his sleeve.

14

Chapter Fourteen: Will the band "Lifetime" ever be formed again?

"Ming?"

Takamatsu Akari gently tugged at her sleeve, her tone tinged with doubt. She was clearly very different from usual today.

A delicate white ribbon adorned her light gray temples, and the fine, warm silk kimono added a touch of allure. The gray-white bow tied to the kimono's obi outlined the girl's slender and supple waist, while the wide sleeves embroidered with floral patterns swayed gently, flowing like clouds.

The timid girl gently raised her fair and delicate hand, her beautiful eyes, revealing her fragility, sparkling with charm. Her already crystal-clear, snow-white face appeared even more beautiful and elegant against the backdrop of her kimono.

Takamatsu, who was already small and cute like a little penguin, now exuded an even more amazing cuteness.

If someone were to say that nothing in the world is 'perfect', Kazami Mei would probably smash the girl in front of him on the head without hesitation.

"Lamp, you look very cute in a kimono."

"Oh, thank you... Mom helped me put it on..."

Suddenly praised, Gao Songdeng's lips curled up slightly, and her already charming fair face flushed with joy.

She was completely unaware of the devastating power of her seemingly ordinary smile; the impact of her gentle thanks was overwhelming, completely stealing the attention of Kazami Mei, who had been admiring her in her heart.

Every extra glance feels like a part of my mind is being stolen away; another glance and I feel like I'm going to explode.

Oh no, I'm going to be completely overwhelmed by cuteness!

"Ming...aren't we preparing for a performance today?"

Even though the little penguin could control the longest time without saying a word with its cute appearance, it couldn't help but gently push Kazami's arm after noticing that Kazami was a little stunned.

At this moment, Kazami Mei finally realized that only Kodama was around, and a hint of surprise appeared in his dark eyes as he said—

"There's still some time before my performance starts. I originally came here with Kita and Pochi to stroll around the festival, but we got separated by the crowd of people in the parade. I was just about to look for them when I suddenly ran into you, Akari."

"But Deng, did you come alone?"

Kazami Mei glanced around out of the corner of her eye, but didn't seem to see any other companions.

In other words, could the light be a lost child?

Well, now I have no choice but to download Azur Lane.

"Well……"

Suddenly asked this question, Takamatsu Akari nodded her head slightly, unsure of how to answer.

In fact, Takamatsu Akari did come to the fireworks festival alone today, but before that, both Chihaya Aine and Shiina Tatsuki had specifically invited her to come along, but in the end she refused to accept either invitation.

Because Takasatsu has other important things to do right now.

Takamatsu Akari wants to find a way to make the band last a lifetime, but she is struggling to find a partner who can help her achieve this goal. In Akari's opinion, neither Aine nor the strong-willed Riki would agree with her 'absurd' idea.

Having no other options, Deng could only try to talk to other people. Of course, she wasn't just running around like a headless fly. Before coming here, she had considered whether to talk to Kita or Pochi, who had ended their band.

"I came here alone..."

Kazami Mei nodded thoughtfully. He looked down at Akari's timid and adorable face, and casually said in a relaxed manner, "How about Akari, you come with me to look for Pochi and Kita first, and then we can all go for a walk together before the performance?"

The penguin girl's eyes clearly revealed a bright and cheerful figure, but then she seemed to suddenly remember something, and the joy on her snow-white face gradually turned pessimistic. After a slight hesitation, the girl murmured as she spoke—

"...Won't I bother Naruto?"

"Actually, when you asked this question, Xiaodeng, you already knew how I would answer, right?"

Kazami Mei shrugged with a smile. That familiar and smug smile calmed Takamatsu Akari's uneasy heart, and a relieved smile appeared on her fair and smooth face.

He didn't care at all about being bothered by girls like Xiaodeng, as long as Lixi didn't kill him directly with the Divine Wrath Crushing Fist.

Seeing Takamatsu nod in agreement, Kazami's face brightened with a smile. He carefully placed the three amulets in his hand into the inside pocket of his coat, then turned to look at the little gray penguin beside him—

"In any case, let's go find Kita and Pochi first, shall we?"

Although that's what Kazami said, the Tokyo Fireworks Festival, which only happens once a year in the summer, is no joke.

As time went by, the various parades and festivals of the temple fair gradually arrived, and more and more pedestrians began to stroll around, and even looking up, all you could see were heads of various colors.

Finding Kita and Pochi among so many people with strange hair colors is like finding a needle in a haystack.

To prevent them from getting separated again, this time Kazami Mei held Takamatsu Akari's hand carefully, just like she would take care of her own child to prevent the little penguin from getting lost.

However, while searching for someone, Kotomi, who was wearing a kimono, seemed to suddenly notice something. She tilted her head slightly and secretly stared at something. Kazami Mei curiously followed her gaze and immediately spotted a shop selling cotton candy.

"Light, do you want some cotton candy?"

"Well……"

Takamatsu Akari, whose thoughts were immediately discovered, blushed.

She shook her little head like a rattle drum, her left sideburns, which were deliberately tied up, completely exposing the girl's fair and lovely ear tips to the air. Her cherry-red hair undoubtedly revealed her thoughts.

"No... I still need to go find Kita-chan and Ichiri-chan..."

The girl's subtle reaction amused Kazami Naruto.

"It's difficult to specifically look for someone in this kind of crowd. Maybe we'll suddenly run into them while we're strolling around. It wouldn't hurt to have some fun with them, right?"

"I'd like to take this opportunity to try it myself, but if you really don't want to eat it, then forget it."

Kazami Mei shook her head slowly, feigning a hint of regret. Seeing Kazami Mei's expression, Kodama waved her long, gray-white sleeves anxiously. Her already cute little face looked even more adorable because of her panic.

The already flustered girl quickly tugged at his sleeve with the hand she was holding, and couldn't help but urge, "Ming! Let's go over there..."

"Then I won't be polite?"

With a teasing smile, he took the girl's hand and, before she could react, pulled the lamp to the cotton candy shop. Then, to the shopkeeper's astonishment, he took out a thousand-yuan bill and stuffed it into his hand.

The older woman selling cotton candy nodded knowingly, a knowing look immediately appearing on her face. Her smile was somewhat meaningful. Then she quickly turned around and picked up a bunch of two-colored cotton candies strung together.

Under Takamatsu's adorable, bewildered gaze, he shoved the large ball directly into her hand.

"This is our store's special [Summer Festival Couple Limited Edition], which offers two different flavors that you can enjoy at the same time!"

Kazami Naru: ?

In the blink of an eye, the other party had already returned the change, as if afraid that he would realize what was happening.

Standing beside her, Takamatsu Akari stared at the large ball of cotton candy in her hand for a moment, then quickly raised her delicate eyebrows and began to speak with a serious yet adorable expression—

"Ming, this... let's share it!"

Before Kazami Mei could reply, Takamatsu Akari gently held the cotton candy stick and brought it to his mouth. Even at school, the two often exchanged lunches, so this kind of feeding was nothing new to the little penguin.

Seeing that Xiaodeng was handing over the item with a serious expression, Fengjianming naturally couldn't hesitate at this moment. He opened his mouth and took a bite of the snow-white cotton candy and swallowed it. The sweet taste unexpectedly made him raise an eyebrow.

Seeing this, Xiaodeng seemed to show a gentle smile. To make it easier to feed her, she naturally leaned a little closer to Fengjianming. Only when she saw him take another bite did she open her mouth to taste it.

"So warm."

Whether it was simply due to 'joy' or some other emotion, the girl's fair, jade-like face and smooth, jade-like neck were flushed crimson. Her delicate amber eyes were as clear and transparent as crystal, and the few strands of hair tucked behind her ears seemed to shimmer in the orange-yellow light.

Kazami Mei couldn't help but gasp; the cute image of the little penguin in his mind seemed to have begun to change.

If you keep doing this, will you ever be able to form a band again?

"Akira? And Kazami?!"

A familiar, sweet shout suddenly drifted into my ears along with the flow of air.

Kazami Mei almost reflexively turned her head and met the gaze of the black-haired girl at the hot dog stand not far away. The one who had just spoken was Shiina Tatsuki, who was also wearing a kimono. At the same time, Kazami Mei also noticed Hachiman Kairin next to her.

No way, you actually ran into this?

Kazami Mei didn't expect to run into his two good brothers, Riki and Hailing, here. Especially seeing Riki's obviously somewhat subtle expression, why did he inexplicably feel like he had been caught cheating by his wife?

"Richie-chan?"
