How can my simulation be a real love?

"I like more than just you."

Upon hearing this, the gray-haired girl with the Eye of Truth blinked slightly, feeling somewhat incredulous at the words.

"And...Aine-chan?"

"...and that's not all."

Kazami Mei spoke calmly and firmly after a moment of contemplation.

At the same time, he began to observe the expression of the gray-haired penguin in front of him, seemingly waiting for the other to show a troubled or even disgusted expression.

If the cutest and kindest little penguin said "I hate you," Kazami Naruto would probably have his Dao heart shattered, right?

Even considering the worst-case scenario, Kazami Mei still had to tell the other party everything honestly and without any concealment. No matter how the little penguin reacted to him, he would try his best until the other party accepted him.

"Well...I know."

However, Takamatsu simply nodded blankly.

The girl in front of him, who seemed to have an eccentric personality, did not appear to show any obvious emotional change. Her still innocent and adorable eyes probably looked like she was stunned, because the impact of his words was too strong and her brain had not yet processed it.

Feeling his heart racing, Kazami Mei adjusted his mindset slightly and then explained again: "What I meant was that I like several people at the same time, and I was even prepared to do the scumbag behavior of cheating on several people."

"Um……"

Even after I explained it to her seriously, the little penguin in front of me still nodded earnestly.

"I think...it's great."

Kazami Naru: ?

No, does the little penguin really understand what he's saying?

This made Kazami Mei, who had already mustered up the courage and prepared herself mentally, suddenly feel like she was punching cotton. Even though she had already said the line "scumbag," the cute little lantern still didn't show any distress.

This situation made Kazami Mei begin to doubt whether the "like" that Takamatsu Akari spoke of was the same thing as the "like" he spoke of.

Unlike Kazami Mei, who was thrown into a state of chaos by those two sentences, Takamatsu Akari, who was originally tense and uneasy, gradually relaxed her taut nerves and couldn't help but smile gently with joy.

……

The screening of "Evening Primrose" at the planetarium ended quickly. The well-behaved and cute little penguin gently tugged at Kazami Naru's clothes and followed behind her. Before they knew it, the two had arrived near the plaza filled with warm orange-yellow lights.

The dappled light pierced through the fountain's spray, casting halos of light on the two of them. Kazami Naruto, who had already arrived, could only hear the crisp sound of the flowing water and the faint murmur of the girl beside him.

“...Um, Ming.”

Suddenly speaking, the little penguin gently clenched her right fist and pressed it against her chest. She had just been thinking seriously for a long time, and when she looked up, the apprehension and tension on her pretty face seemed to have disappeared, leaving only her eyes full of conviction.

“I’m so happy that Ming will like me…”

"Wait first!"

Kazami Naruto, who has an extremely keen sense of certain things, spoke first. The sudden appearance of this kind of dialogue made him feel inexplicably apprehensive, as if he could immediately recall the painful memory of being rejected by Kodama in the simulation if he closed his eyes.

Kazami Mei let out a long sigh to adjust her mindset, then nodded gently to signal the little penguin in front of her to continue.

Now that he's mentally prepared, he can remain calm no matter what he hears!

"I like the sound."

Standing before him, Takamatsu Akari fearlessly raised her eyes and looked directly into his. Now that she had finally revealed all her feelings, she had abandoned all her confusion and unease and simply embraced him tenderly.

No longer will I run away from past pain, no longer will I deliberately hide my inner feelings, no longer will I hesitate about the uncertain future, and no longer will I stop moving forward because of anxiety and fear!

Now, Takamatsu is simply moving forward.

"..."

The girl's soft, delicate body, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, was embraced in his arms. Her slender frame seemed so fragile that it could break at the slightest touch. The gentle and charming girl simply raised her delicate and tender face and gently rubbed it against his chest.

Kazami Naruto's defenses were instantly breached, leaving him completely bewildered and frozen in place.

The vast amount of strategy vocabulary that was originally stored in his mind was instantly transformed into a lump of yogurt made by Cirno herself with the penguin's firm embrace.

"It's okay if Ming doesn't only like me, I just want to stay by Ming's side forever..."

I just turned on the power cord and it's already broken?

What kind of powerful power was this? It almost made him think, "Maybe I should just go for a single-line route."

"...Light, is this really okay?"

Even Kazami Naruto, who had long been completely captivated by the little penguin's charm, gradually showed a serious expression on his face.

He tried to keep his mind clear by taking deep breaths to calm himself down. Even he felt that his brain was becoming abnormally sluggish. He suddenly understood what it felt like to be "love-struck".

I think...it's okay.

"I just don't want Ming to leave my side. Can you... hug me a little longer?"

Upon hearing this, Kazami Mei lowered her head slightly, then hugged the girl in front of her with a little more force, while gently stroking her smooth and delicate short gray hair, and faintly feeling that the tips of her fair ears had become red and hot.

Gao Songdeng is very happy.

It was like chewing on a shimmering, star-like candy; the sweet taste instantly flowed into her warm heart. This blissful feeling undoubtedly made her infatuated, but at the same time, it strengthened her resolve.

Ming shared the same idea as her, believing that this might give them a chance to be together forever.

It would be too selfish to enjoy this 'happiness' all by myself, but perhaps we should just let her be even more greedy?

"Naraka, could you lower it a little more...?"

Sensing the girl's thoughts, Kazami Mei slowly bent down, trying to control her nervousness.

The gray-haired girl's eyes sparkled with clear mist. As she gently tiptoed, her beautiful and delicate face slowly drew closer to his. He could clearly feel her disordered breathing, and her soft, cherry-colored lips gently pressed against his.

The night was like thick ink, so deep that it could not be dissolved.

The girl's soft, delicate body and the sweet fragrance wafting from her nose brought a multi-sensory experience, and the two, embracing tightly, seemed to want to merge the other into their own bodies.

It took quite a while for the two to separate lightly and slowly. The little penguin, who was not used to this kind of thing at all, had her pretty face flushed red, and her cherry-colored lips seemed to be glistening with moisture.

"lamp……?"

It took Kazami Mei a while to process what was happening before she spoke, her tone carrying a subtle undertone.

He really didn't expect that such an innocent little penguin would become so bold. It was only its first attempt and it dared to stick out its tongue. That almost made his brain crash.

Gao Songdeng seemed to realize that her behavior was a bit off, and her cute little face immediately filled with tension. Feeling uneasy, she immediately spoke up—

"It was Senior Liang who told me this. Did I... mess up?"

"No, that's not true. I'm just a little surprised."

Kazami Mei simply let out a long sigh and gently embraced the girl, comforting her continuously.

He was no longer concerned with criticizing Miss Liang's misguided teaching; he was simply captivated by the charm of the lamp.

"Next time... I'll try harder next time."

Takamatsu Akari's pretty face was flushed and burning hot as she clenched her little fists. Her serious yet adorable expression was so captivating that it almost suffocated Kazami Mei several times during the time they spent together.

Stop trying so hard, or he'll be overwhelmed by cuteness.

As the sky grew darker, Kazami Naruto, knowing that it was getting late and would worry his family, decided to take the little penguin home. Before leaving, the girl hugged him tightly for a moment before reluctantly letting go.

Only after Takamatsu Akari gently waved her little hand and closed her own door did Kazami Mei, who was standing at the door, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"As expected, my favorite thing is the lamp, isn't it?"

The little penguin's charm, which had just revealed such 'proactiveness,' was so strong that if Takamatsu Akari had said with a wronged expression, 'You are only allowed to like me,' Kazami Mei, who had already become a captive, would probably have nodded in agreement.

"But I really didn't expect that the lamp would agree so readily..."

Now he probably really has to move towards the goal of 'interacting with everyone'.

……

The next day, RiNG—

Perhaps because the name Mygo had already been finalized, Shiina Tatsuki sent a call to the band's Line group a long time ago, preparing to hold a real band meeting before the end of summer vacation.

Knowing that Riki-ge valued this matter highly, Kazami Naru did not hesitate. After having some breakfast, she set off directly to the second floor of RiNG. As soon as she arrived, she saw Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Aine, who had already arrived.

"Chirp chirp~ Come quick, come quick!"

"Don't rush me, don't rush me, I'll go to the toilet after I take a shower."

Kazami Mei, who had just casually mentioned it, immediately sat down next to Takamatsu Akari. The little penguin, who had just kissed her yesterday, was clearly not used to it. The nervous girl blushed and stammered, "...Mei, good afternoon."

Immortal Lamp, please stop your supernatural powers! I really can't hold on much longer.

"Ok?"

Sitting to the right of Kazami Naruto, Aine's eyes held a strange look. She felt that both her boyfriend and the girl next to her were looking at each other rather strangely today.

"Aine, hasn't Shiina arrived yet?"

Before she could think any further, her boyfriend had already drawn her attention away from her.

"Rikki was the first one to arrive~ but she just said she needed to get something first, so she left for a bit~"

On the surface, Miss Aine was still in her usual state, but in reality, her thoughts were already in a mess. When she woke up yesterday, she suddenly encountered a familiar 'dream' again, but this time it still did not meet her expectations.

The person who suddenly married Mingming was actually Xiao Boqi?!

This was something Chihaya Aine never expected. She had worked so hard to guard against the 'red thief' and the 'brown vixen,' but the outcome of her dream turned out to be something she couldn't understand at all.

Chihaya Aine previously thought Nagasaki Motoyo was the safest, but was immediately betrayed. Later, she thought Goto Ichiri was the least threatening, but was betrayed again. These two consecutive dreams made her feel like she was surrounded by enemies!

Could it be that next time it will turn into a lantern?!

"Aine-chan?"

The little penguin was suddenly stared at intently by Miss Aine, who was gritting her teeth. This made her think that she had done something wrong. Recalling her intimate behavior with Ming yesterday, she felt even more guilty and lowered her head.

Just as Chihaya Aine was lost in thought, the glass door of RiNG was pushed open again, and Nagasaki Motoyo, wearing a beige satin-trimmed long dress, walked over with a smile. The moment she saw Chihaya Aine, she immediately raised her eyebrows slightly.

She had a bad dream when she woke up this morning, and now she feels terrible whenever she sees pink hair.

"Soyorin~ You're way too slow!"

"I'm not late, am I?"

Nagasaki Motoyo responded casually in a nonchalant tone, and her still indifferent attitude made Chihaya Aine's eyes sharpen. The exchange of their eyes seemed to spark invisible flames.

However, the two of them were already used to bickering with each other. In the blink of an eye, Nagasaki Motoyo had chosen to sit opposite Kazami Naru, looking at her husband with complicated emotions in her eyes.

He promised to stay by her side forever, but he turned out to be so fickle.

It's really hard to forgive that.

"Su Shi?"

Not far away, Miss Su Shi's phoenix eyes were already smiling into crescent moons, but such a beautiful smile made Feng Jianming feel inexplicably afraid, as if her eyes had become a little scary.

"What's wrong, Ming?"

A slightly sharp yet sweet voice reached Kazami Naru's ears, but the intimate nickname felt strangely eerie, causing Kazami Naru, who couldn't figure out what was making her unhappy, to purse her lips.

"The wallet you gave me last time was very useful; I carry it with me almost every day."

Miss Su Shi was definitely the dominant force in the early stages, so let's keep her in check for now!

"Oh, really? That's great!"

"Speaking of which, I recently bought a batch of new aromatherapy products, which are very helpful for sleep. Ming must be feeling quite tired lately, right? I'll find an opportunity to deliver them to your 'home'."

Home?

Chihaya Aine's eyes widened suddenly; launching a sneak attack on the base was strictly prohibited!

What happened to fair competition?

However, Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes seemed quite calm. After experiencing that so-called 'premonition dream' today, she knew she could no longer let things continue like this.

As for fairness?

After the last summer festival live performance by the band, the so-called 'fair competition' that Nagasaki Motoyo and Chihaya Aine talked about had long become a mere formality. It should be said that from the very beginning, the two of them had no intention of following the rules.

"Soyo, do you want to sleep with Ming too?"

A calm voice suddenly came from behind, spoken by Miss Wildcat, who was pulling the cart.
