How can my simulation be a real love?

[Her gentle and light demeanor was like a soft cloud; hugging her felt like holding a large, warm cotton candy. Yet, her tracksuit, like a legendary concealment weapon, was about to unleash a devastating attack. At this moment, she seemed to be completely different from her usual self.]

You never imagined that your timid and withdrawn girlfriend would be so excited. Goto Ichiri seems to have a natural talent for music, and she can easily handle any style of performance, which arouses your competitive spirit, even though you always have the upper hand.

The all-out battle between the two sides seemed poised to obliterate even the Great Dao itself.

I originally thought Su Shi was invincible. Whose general is this?

Kazami Naruto, who had thought he could easily defeat Boqi, was shocked. Boqi, who looked as weak as a rabbit, actually had such combat power and could fight on par with him, a Dou Zun powerhouse.

For a moment when he saw the simulated text, Kazami Mei even felt that it was somewhat unreal.

Is this really Pochi?

Your relationship with Goto Ichiri has deepened significantly.

[Perhaps from this moment on, you have completely interfered in each other's lives. Having made vows and promises at Christmas, you have entered a period of intense romance. Even the aloof and timid Goto Ichiri has become more and more confident as she gets to know you.]

You've noticed that she's developed a strong dependence on you, but you're unsure if this is actually a good thing.

On New Year's Eve, you and Goto Ichiri held hands as they went to a New Year's party for the band "The End of the Band". After enjoying themselves, she blushed and tugged at your sleeve. Having known your timid girlfriend for a long time, you naturally understood what she meant.

[The interactions between you two have severely impacted the other members of the band, and Yamada Ryo is borrowing money from Pochi more and more frequently.]

[In March, as spring deepens, the band End, which has been building up its popularity for a long time, signed a contract with an artist management company under your decision. The extremely favorable contract terms ensure the band's independence and autonomy, while also providing them with a large amount of publicity to reignite their popularity.]

[After the release of your self-composed new song "The Pure White Flower That Never Withers," the already disbanded band experienced a rapid rise in popularity. The music video, used to promote the band, has been shown on screens in Akihabara, and the first edition CD immediately topped the music magazine charts upon release.]

The sudden surge in traffic caused the band's CD to sell out instantly. The band's share of the profits was distributed along with their salaries and bonuses from the management company, giving the girls a direct experience of what a money bomb was.

[The band members, though overjoyed at the end of the season, did not let their happiness go to their heads. Led by Ijichi Nijika, they all began to practice even harder. In particular, Porchi, the lead guitarist, never slacked off. Apart from spending time with you, she devoted herself entirely to the band.]

At eighteen, after graduating from high school, you choose to attend the same university as your girlfriend. She focuses entirely on music, and her grades are extremely poor. However, with your 'reward system' and meticulous guidance, she successfully passes the exam.

Of course, there will be a corresponding 'reward' after the exam. You choose to take Goto Ichiri on a seven-day, seven-night trip.

[However, when they returned to Tokyo after their trip, Kita Ikuyo was puzzled as to why there were only two photos from their seven-day, seven-night trip. When Ijichi Nikka asked them which places they visited, Goto Ichiri, who was standing next to her, just blushed and didn't know how to answer.]

Only Yamada Ryo remained silent, staring intently at your face; you could vaguely discern a deeper meaning in her gaze.

You used your salary and bonuses to rent a more spacious and beautiful apartment, and officially started living with her during your university years. You, being extremely capable, chose to take care of all the housework and cooking, so she didn't need to worry about anything in life, big or small.

Your overly indulgent attitude seems to have made her feel a little uneasy.

……

The dappled morning light pierced through the gossamer-thin white curtains, and the scent of the placed incense gradually lingered around the nose. The dazzling halo reflected on the girl's beautiful and smooth cherry-pink hair.

Her fair cheeks, tinged with a rosy blush, seemed to glow, and even just admiring her lovely, jade-like sleeping face was never boring.

Kazami Mei, who had long since woken up, rested her chin on her hand and admired Goto Ichiri's calm and lovely sleepy eyes. Her steady breathing caused the soft quilt to rise and fall, outlining her charming figure with each movement.

Perhaps because his prank was a bit too obvious, Boqi, who was still asleep, groggily opened his beautiful eyes.

Did I accidentally wake you up?

"Yili, you can continue sleeping for a while. I'll go prepare breakfast."

Just as Kazami Naru was getting ready to get up, Goto Ichiri suddenly hugged his neck and said in a slightly anxious and flustered tone, "Um... how about Naru sleep a little longer, I'll prepare breakfast?"

"Huh? Why are you suddenly saying that?"

Feeling somewhat puzzled, Kazami Mei smiled and pinched the girl's small nose, then reached out to tidy up a few strands of messy pink hair by her ear. The fact that Pochi, whom he always took good care of, suddenly spoke up made him vaguely realize something.

"I...I just wanted to help Kaminari."

Seeing the pink-haired girl's downcast eyes and dejected words, Kazami Mei, who knew her personality well, understood and couldn't help but smile as she asked, "Ichiri, do you feel it's not good for you to leave everything to me and just enjoy yourself?"

“Ming does everything, from cooking to housework, and even band work and studies. But I can’t do anything right… I can’t do anything except play the guitar.”

"There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"

"If that's the case, then I..."

Seeing his girlfriend troubled by these things, Kazami couldn't help but chuckle. He simply tapped Goto Ichiri's forehead lightly with his chopsticks, and looking at her expression, spoke earnestly—

"Leave everything to me. Ichiri only needs to think about how to play the chords."

"I want to raise Ichiri into a 'fool' who can't do anything without me."

Kazami Mei's smug expression momentarily stunned Goto Ichiri. Then, she raised her eyes with a slightly silly smile, hesitated for a moment, then seemed to remember something, blushing as she spoke somewhat seriously—

"I need to help too!"

With a firm tone, Miss Pochi slowly crawled into the covers, and Kazami Mei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

[With your comfort, Goto Ichiri seems to accept the fact that she is an 'idiot'. She realizes that she can no longer leave your side, and just keeps practicing to become a guitarist worthy of you.]

At 22, with the continuous development of various Line bands, the band, whose strength has far surpassed that of the contemporary young generation, is moving towards higher positions. The band's fame is among the top in the country, and each tour performance brings even greater popularity.

[You realize this is an opportunity. The band has already accumulated enough talent and popularity to take another step towards their dreams.]

[After discussions with your management company, it was decided that Ending Band would now take the stage that truly belongs to them—the Tokyo Dome. This massive performance with 55,000 seats signifies that Ending Band has truly reached the top.]

The performance's outcome was no surprise; the powerful band Ending perfectly concluded the live show with "The Everlasting Pure White Flower," and the music video and footage from the performance even made headlines in the Asahi Shimbun.

[At the same time, at the peak of the band's popularity, the most special moment arrives at just the right moment.]

You've decided to marry Goto Ichiri.

It's really not easy—

Upon seeing the word "marriage" on the simulation panel, even Kazami Naru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although Ms. Pochi's simulation this time only used "personal simulation" once, the accompanying mental fatigue was no worse than that of Ms. Suze's.

Thankfully, this time I was able to successfully progress to marriage with Boqi.

If Kazami Naru were to be given some questions after personally simulating the scenario, he would really be at a loss.

The sudden announcement of your marriage instantly ignited the entire music scene. A large number of reporters seemed to be scrambling to cover the story, but they were all blocked outside by your management company. As celebrities, you chose to hold a simple wedding banquet.

Wearing a pure white wedding dress, she was like a fairy stepping out of a poem or painting. As the train of her dress moved, her cherry-blossom hair flowed behind her. Her exquisite face seemed to reveal only a shy smile, yet it was enough to completely immerse you in this moment.

[This 'ordinary' wedding banquet didn't invite many people; only your friends and Goto Ichiri's family were present, including the members of the band. Even so, she wore the happiest smile at the wedding.]

[The newlyweds chose to move into a new home that had been prepared long ago. Although it was no longer the little house where you lived together during your courtship, it could become the starting point for new memories and the future. Kazami Ichiri, who was already immersed in the whirlpool of happiness, thought so.]

Within days, Kazami Ichiri became pregnant.

[The two of you were well aware of this outcome these past few days, but the shy Kazami Ichiri planned to tell her friends and family about it later. You just teased her, saying that she was still shy after all these years.]

Having completely achieved his dream, Kazami Ichiri decided to retire from the band. Upon hearing this news, the other band members all showed knowing expressions, because they all knew this day would come sooner or later.

Having performed at the Budokan multiple times, the band had already achieved their goals. The Tokyo Dome became their final performance, and their exquisite rendition of "The Everlasting White Flower" became an unforgettable classic for countless people.

To take care of your wife, you resigned from your management job at the agency and began to meticulously care for her with the entire Goto family. This made Kazami Ichiri, who was already spoiled rotten by you, even more fond of acting cute towards you.

Time continued to pass—

Your daughter with Kazami Ichiri has finally been born, and you name her 'Kazami Nao'.

[Perhaps it's because the Goto family's genes are too strong, even Kazami Nao inherited your wife's pink hair and looks. However, she seems to prefer shoulder-length hair to her mother's long hair, making her look like a miniature version of Pochi.]

However, as your daughter, she has completely inherited your inner qualities. Even at a young age, Kazami Nao has shown a quirky and clever side, and her academic performance at school is at a "genius" level, even surpassing yours in some ways.

However, her physical weakness is even greater than yours.

As your and Kazami Ichiri's daughter, she naturally receives the love of the whole family. Even the three members of the band who left treat her as their own daughter, and each of them wants to pass on their instrumental skills to her. But this little one has absolutely no interest in music.

[Nao Kazami became fascinated with photography at a young age, and she was particularly skilled at it without any formal instruction. You accidentally discover that she has been secretly taking pictures of you from various angles and has carefully compiled these photos of 'Father' into a book.]

Perhaps due to their similar personalities, Kazami Nao often spends time with her "godmother" Yamada Ryo, and over time she has picked up some of Yamada's sleazy traits. She is even often seen lending Yamada Ryo, who is an adult, her own allowance.

You can't help but criticize the other person for these behaviors, but Yamada Ryo still says with a straight face, "I've already made so many concessions before, what's wrong with letting Nao give me some pocket money?"

Fortunately, her behavior was immediately punished by Ichiji Nijika's iron fist, but she still refused to change her ways.

Even though she's now a wife, Kazami Ichiri is still as easily embarrassed as ever. She always secretly tries to get close to you while blushing, but Kazami Nao occasionally catches them in their private moments, which causes Kazami Ichiri to faint several times.

As time went by...

As Kazami Nao has grown up, she has become more intelligent and clever. At school, she is revered by everyone like a little tyrant. As her mother, Kazami Ichiri is often tricked by her. However, she only shows her most obedient side when she is with you.

You've heard her say more than once that 'the law' is wrong, and that she wants to change this flawed world.

As she grew up, she became a highly skilled photographer, and her works frequently appeared in photography awards. However, none of these award-winning works were of any interest to her. Instead, she would specially collect only the photos of you and your mother.

Time flies by so quickly.

[Has grown up and started traveling the world as a photographer, and you, who have been focusing all your attention on your daughter, have finally found an opportunity to enjoy some time alone with your wife. You are both surrounded by happiness and are completely content.]

Time has left indelible marks on you and your wife, but Kazami Ichiri remains unchanged after all these years. In your eyes, she will always be that girl who depends on and cherishes you, and you will always be that boy who dotes on her.

Even in your seventies, you are still in good physical condition, but no matter how healthy you are, you cannot stop the passage of time. In your final moments, your loved one still gently leans on your shoulder, and until the very last instant, your hands are still tightly clasped together.

Just as in that hazy vision, you vaguely see the jasmine flowers that your wife and you planted at the same time, their snow-white petals gently falling into your and your wife's hands, the pure and simple white flowers seemingly blooming lightly among the verdant branches and leaves.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cuteness is Justice

As the simulation panel came to an end, Kazami Naru breathed a long sigh of relief. At the moment the simulation ended, fragments of memories mixed with complex emotions flooded into his mind, and the fatigue from using the simulation himself also surged in like a flowing stream.

Miss Pochi's simulation journey was quite bumpy, but thankfully it finally came to a normal happy ending.

"As expected, only the so-called 'pure love' route can be completed smoothly. Even if I turn to Xiangzi's side halfway through, I still end up as a single person. In the previous simulation, they would rather have a single ending than let me enter the 'multiplayer' route?"

It's obvious that there's a problem with the emulator.

If Kazami Naruto had been given the chance to personally simulate the game, he might have been able to enter the two-person route with Kita-san and Aine-san. However, the simulator avoided this problem by banning his 'personal simulation' directly, forcing him into a situation where he had to choose between the two.

Emulators aren't like 300 Heroes; do you think you can cover it up by saying the server burned out?

"I originally planned to use the simulation to continuously follow a single path and eventually find my favorite wife to marry. But now it seems that I can't let go of any of them. I've been completely tricked."

In reality, Kazami Mei is different from the one in the simulation who 'only has eyes for the other person'. After several simulations, she has complex feelings for all the simulated characters, and most importantly, she is also liked by them in real life.

At this point, it's no longer possible for him to learn from reality and follow a single path.

He can't let go of either side, so perhaps the only thing he can do is try to balance both.

The only option left is to set my sights on having multiple relationships simultaneously.

The problem is what he should do, since theoretically he seems to like too many people. If he really wants to build a 'harem', then this problem is unavoidable.

We can't exactly imitate beef balls by jumping eight times, can we?

Thinking of this, Kazami gently rubbed his sore temples, and could only temporarily put aside the complicated thoughts in his mind, turning his head to look at the simulated settlement interface on the panel.

[End of simulation]

Rating: 90 [Perfect]

[Comment: In the vast sea of ​​your heart, only her image remains; all other things pale in comparison, only she shines! When the world comes into view, whether it is vibrant and colorful or ordinary and unremarkable, your gaze is always fixed on her. From the first meeting to falling in love, you two seem to be a match made in heaven. Even if you overcome everything around you, you will steadfastly choose each other. Your pure and sincere love has never changed from beginning to end.]

[She, who lacks self-confidence, has never been able to see her own strengths. In her eyes, someone as outstanding as you should be with someone more suitable to find happiness. But she never expected that you would tolerate and accept all her flaws. Even though she is good at avoiding and hiding, she completely fell in love with you under your persistent pursuit.]

[In your eyes, she shines brightly, dedicating everything to her dreams and music. But in her eyes, you, who choose to reject all other relationships to be with her, are the true white moonlight. Perhaps she has been constantly changing herself for you until she truly becomes the 'guitar hero' who belongs to you and is worthy of you.]

You achieved a perfect rating! You have received the settlement reward, upgrading your Barista Lv.2 to Lv.3, and can choose five of the following seven simulation rewards.

【1.【Guitar Hero Goto Ichiri】Guitar Lv.5 (Her skill, honed through countless trials and tribulations after dedicating her entire life to the guitar, is a crystallization of her exceptional talent and hard work, ultimately making her a legend and deserving the title of "Guitar God")】

[2. The piece "The Pure White Flower That Never Fades" (This piece was composed by Kazami Mei for the band to perform at the Budokan in this simulation. The lead guitar part requires extremely high playing skills and has great commemorative significance.)]

【3. 【Stamina Lv.4】Upgraded to 【Stamina Lv.5】】

[4. The piggy bank given by Ichiri Goto (This was a Christmas gift from her, containing the dowry her mother intended for her future marriage. The gift carries a strong sense of fervent and pure love, making it a meaningful keepsake.)]

【5.【Light and Shadow Magician Nao Kazami】Shooting Lv.3 (At a young age, she has an innate talent for photography. Her award-winning level during junior high school already surpasses that of the industry, especially in terms of lighting and angles)】

[6. The jade pendant that Nao Kazami gave to her father (a handmade item given to Naru Kazami by the quirky and clever Nao; the pendant is engraved with her name and a miniature photo, making it a very meaningful keepsake)]

[7. Motor Vehicle Driving Lv.2 (Basic driving skill; can drive large trucks)]

"Was the result 90 points?"

Including the 'single ending' he got from being tricked by the simulator before, he failed twice before finally reaching the normal route. It was already pretty good that he managed to get a score of 90. He wasn't surprised by this score.

Kazami Mei quickly focused all her attention on the reward, and the simulated reward that came into view was a 'Lv.5' level guitar.

He was naturally quite surprised that a score of 90 could produce such a golden legend.

It's important to know that this Lv.5 skill is the true pinnacle of 'Guitar Hero', a skill that only Pochi, who has completely devoted his energy and effort to the guitar, can master. This is also the first time that Kazami Naruto has received such a high-level reward from his wife.

As for the other options, it can be said that the seal was at work. They even managed to upgrade the Lv.4 stamina skill to Lv.5. It can be said that this simulation of Pochi was luckier than all of Kazami Naruto's previous simulations.
