How can my simulation be a real love?

Wait, this pressure that surged up from the soles of her feet felt like a black hole sucking her into an endless abyss!

I have a feeling that if I'm not careful, I'll be crushed by this overwhelming gravity!

Where exactly is this pressure coming from?

Goto Ichiri suddenly turned his head, gradually shifting his gaze to Kazami Mei's side.

Sitting there, hugging her knees, Takamatsu Akari lowered her head slightly, her slightly trembling eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of crystal mist, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed as if she was trying her best to suppress something.

The lamp stared at him beside him, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitant, as if he was worried about something and didn't dare to speak.

She merely reached out her fingers from the side and secretly pinched the hem of his clothes. Her cautious posture made it seem as if a single word could frighten her into shrinking back, making her look as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.

What's going on? Did I accidentally say something bad?

How scary! Takamatsu is so scary!

Upon sensing the source of this immense pressure, Pochi's body began to tremble slightly.

If you're not careful, her face might even twist and shrink into clay, then turn into a pink hamster snake and escape.

"Um, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"

"I'm so sorry, waaaaaah!"

Startled by the gravity, Pochi-chan's legs transformed into wheels of fire, and she decisively unleashed the fastest escape speed she had ever achieved, almost ready to perform a wall jump followed by a leap of faith.

She felt that if she stayed here any longer, something was bound to go wrong!

"One mile?"

"The guitarist ran away..."

Just moments ago, Takamatsu Akari looked dejected, but now she stared blankly at Pochi's fleeing figure, seemingly unsure how to react.

However, this also made the lamp aware of the current situation.

If Ming were to form a band with other people, then she—

"Ming, do you want to form a band?"

Ultimately, unable to suppress the growing grievances in her heart, the girl's initial tone of disappointment had dissipated considerably, replaced by a cautious, questioning tone.

She was afraid that things would turn out badly for her and Mingzu Band.

But she was also afraid that Ming would join another band and 'abandon' her.

Seeing her pitiful expression, Kazami Mei seemed to be hallucinating the little lantern he had seen in the simulation who was so dependent on him.

No, it must be an illusion.

Xiaodeng is probably still immersed in the shadow of CRYCHIC in the past, and her relationship with him now is at most just that of a decent friend.

"I don't have that plan yet."

This is the truth.

Kazami Naruto currently has no intention of joining any band, whether it's the band "Closing Out" or Mygo.

A simulation is a simulation and reality is reality.

Don't confuse the two.

"really?"

"real."

Knowing Takamatsu Akari's personality well, Kazami Mei spoke without hesitation. Her firm tone made the girl slowly raise her head, and the melancholy in her eyes was replaced by a faint joy.

"Alright, lunch break is almost over."

"If we stay any longer, we'll be late."

Kazami Mei smiled and extended his right hand towards Takamatsu Akari. Akari decisively reached out her hand to him for support as she stood up from the ground, feeling the girl's soft, boneless, smooth hand while listening to the voice in her ear.

[Gained 1 simulation attempt]

He guessed correctly; the way to obtain simulation attempts was indeed through contact with the simulation object!

However, the little hand of the lamp feels so comfortable to touch that I don't want to let go.

……

The afternoon classes in Japan ended quite quickly.

Before they knew it, it was time to leave school. Boqi, who had been frightened earlier, got up, picked up his guitar, and sprinted away from the classroom.

Seeing her terrified expression, Kazami Naruto, realizing what was happening, grabbed his bag and chased after her.

Pochi was one of his few friends, after all, and he couldn't let her run away whenever she saw him in the future.

"...?"

Only Takamatsu Akari remained, holding her bag, staring blankly at Kazami Mei's receding figure.

Pochi-chan, running at full speed, was incredibly fast. As expected of a wild Pokémon, Shiny Tsuchigumo, it dashed out of the school in the blink of an eye.

Kazami Mei, whose physical strength was already poor, spent quite a while before barely managing to catch up with this guy in a nearby park.

How can she run so fast while carrying a guitar? Is she really a socially awkward shut-in who stays at home all day and never goes out?

"I... I don't have any cough syrup on me!"

Goto Ichiri looked at Kazami Naru, who was panting heavily, with some fear. They had run all the way to the park, but Naru-san had still managed to catch up with them.

Why are you chasing her? Are you trying to silence her?

I'm sorry, Mom, Dad, Erli, and Jimmy Heng! I might not be able to come back!

"So why are you running away? I'm not Kars."

"Because, what if Takamatsu-kun sees this—"

Goto Ichiri's face was almost contorted into a cyberpunk expression as she looked around for a certain girl's figure. She only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that she hadn't seen Takamatsu Akari.

"So it was because of the lamp?"

Panting, Kazami Mei rolled her eyes slightly and reached out to scratch the dark hair at her temple.

He could actually understand Pochi's feelings quite well, because anyone who saw the lamp looking like that would subconsciously think they had done something wrong and be afraid.

In reality, Deng is just a girl who lacks a sense of security and needs to find comfort and dependence.

When a lack of security arises, the pressure emanating from the person will involuntarily affect those around them.

Having been alone since childhood, Pochi's greatest skill is sitting in a corner observing the actions of others, and naturally he is very sensitive to the atmosphere around him.

It's normal for her to be afraid of lights.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to run away."

"Don't worry, Deng just suffered psychological trauma from her past band days. She means you no harm."

Huh? Is that all?

Boqi opened her mouth in surprise. She thought it was because she had asked Mingsang to form a band on her own and accidentally upset Takamatsu!

"I'm sorry, Ming-san, I misunderstood."

"Ichiri, shouldn't you commit seppuku when apologizing?"

Please spare me that kind of thing! I don't want to die so soon!

As the two were bickering by the park swing, a dazzling golden light, as bright as the sun, flashed by. The shimmering golden light made Kazami Mei, who was bowing his head, a little stunned.

A blonde girl suddenly appeared, her eyes shining as she stared in their direction, and quickly ran towards them with small steps.

"Ah! It's a guitar!"

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Golden Little Sun

"Can you play the guitar?!"

Suddenly, a blonde beauty stumbled over from a short distance away, showing no fear of strangers. Instead, she warmly approached and asked questions, like a little sun in the darkness.

The girl's physical features are very distinctive.

Her blonde side ponytail shone brightly in the sunlight, and the golden ahoge on her head swayed gently with her steps. Her pretty and lovely face was adorned with an energetic and sunny smile.

The blonde girl with that smile looked as if she would don the Fourth Hokage's cloak at any moment.

In fact, this is the type of person that Poch is least adept at dealing with.

"I...I can play fairly well..."

Goto Ichiri responded in a voice barely audible; she could only talk to people like Naru and Touka, who were also rather reclusive.

Suddenly faced with this top-tier beautiful girl who looked like an incredibly energetic high school girl, she couldn't even look her in the eye and could only make unpleasant sounds from her throat, like the wriggling of a sea urchin.

As the pink Tsuchigumo, who is most accustomed to running away, Goto Ichiri immediately turned her pleading gaze to Kazami beside her.

Then, under his resistant gaze, she hid behind him without hesitation, only peeking out her little pink head to secretly observe the outside world.

I feel much safer once I'm hiding!

"Don't hide away on your own."

"Please, Naru-san! Please help me out, and I'll treat you to MAX Coffee later!"

"Her name is Goto Ichiri, and I am her friend Kazami Mei. We are both first-year students at Haneoka High School."

Since he's said that, as a friend, he'll definitely help him out.

"Ah, I'm so sorry to have bothered you!"

"My name is Ijichi Nijika, and I'm a second-year student from Shimokitazawa High School!"

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

The girl, who called herself Hongxia, grinned with her cute little white teeth and introduced herself with great energy.

As expected, Kazami Naruto guessed her identity the moment he saw her.

That radiant, sunny smile, and those dazzling blonde hairs that are unforgettable at first glance—

Isn't this the same Hongxia's mom who had a crush on him but couldn't win his heart, and ended up becoming the child's godmother?

"I'm so sorry, actually it's because I've run into a little trouble!"

Ichi Nijika stretched out her index finger and thumb and pinched a small gap between her fingers, as if trying her best to express that the problem on her side was really not that big.

"My band is about to start performing, but the key guitarist has inexplicably run away! So when I saw Ichiri-chan's guitar, I just ran over and started talking to him!"

Something escaped, the heart?

As for Goto Ichiri, his long bangs concealed a look of terror.

Her strong intuition, stemming from social anxiety, gave her a vague sense of what was about to happen.

"So please! Please come and be my band's temporary guitarist!"

"Ah! It's okay if it really doesn't work out, but the song is really simple and anyone who can play the guitar can learn it quickly. Please reconsider!"

"Please please!"

Ichi Nijika clasped her hands together earnestly, and her enthusiastic and sincere attitude made it hard to refuse her, while Pochi shook his head frantically in his heart.

Now, take the stage?

Although I always fantasize about achieving great success in my mind, it's unbelievable that I'd actually be performing on stage right now...

That's a bit too scary!

No problem, Ming-san, who is usually the best at refusing others, will definitely find a way to refuse her!

"She's quite free right now."
