How can my simulation be a real love?

Yamada Ryo's unusually 'normal' side at this moment left Nijika, who knew her best friend well, completely baffled.

What's the situation?

Miss Yamada continued to gaze at Kazami Mei's face.

The moment she saw him, familiar images began to flash through her mind, and a strange emotion gradually welled up in her heart along with the 'memory'.

Sensing something was amiss, Miss Liang's lips curled into a subtle smile that went unnoticed by anyone.

Interesting~

Although it was theoretically her first 'official' meeting with him, she had the 'illusion' that the two of them were already very familiar with each other, and even calling out his name felt incredibly natural.

Their encounter was like a pebble thrown into calm water, stirring ripples in her heart.

"Alright, alright, it's about time we started practicing! The three of us will be performing on stage soon, so it would be terrible if we didn't coordinate a little, okay?"

As the team leader, Ichiji Nijika fulfilled her duty at this moment. She clapped her hands gently, pulling Yamada Ryo's thoughts back from somewhere else.

This also brought Goto Ichiri's pounding, worried heart to its highest peak.

"--It should be fine, right? Probably fine, maybe fine!"

Standing in the center of the practice room, Goto Ichiri was muttering to himself with his head down, while Kazami Mei was holding onto the back of his chair with one hand, watching Pochi's performance with a look of amusement.

However, judging from her appearance, she probably isn't in much better shape.

Just like Goto Ichiri's name 'Ichiri', Pochi-chan can only play her own solo now.

Before this, she had absolutely no concept of [ensemble].

It's important to understand that 'cooperation' is far more crucial in a band than the individual abilities of its members.

No matter how skilled a single member is when playing an instrument, if their rhythm doesn't match that of the other members, the originally harmonious notes will turn into chaotic noise.

For example, in Dragon Ball, the 'fusion' technique requires Goku and Vegeta to perform completely synchronized and fluid movements to successfully fuse together.

If either side makes a mistake, the entire outcome will collapse.

The same principle applies to bands.

With such high skill, Boqi Jiang doesn't even dare to make eye contact with her teammates, so how could she possibly keep up with the rhythm?

Three minutes later——

"Absolutely terrible..."

After Ichiji Nijika said those words with a smile, the Pochi in front of her began to melt away like an ice cream melting at a high temperature of forty degrees Celsius. Nijika realized what was happening and thought to herself, "Oh no."

She meant to say something comforting like, "Ichiri-chan played quite well too," but she accidentally blurted out her true feelings!

"A lump of porridge."

As for Kazami Mei standing next to her, she didn't have the same gentle, maternal mindset as Nijika, and she spoke very honestly, making sarcastic remarks.

"Hmph hmph hmphh ...

"I will commit seppuku right now!"

Goto Ichiri felt like she was being overwhelmed by the criticism. Her already gloomy face began to contort into an irregular shape, and the nausea rising from her stomach to her throat made her dizzy.

Fortunately, I managed to hold it in.

If I vomit here, my life will end.

Even though she desperately suppressed the urge to vomit, when faced with Kazami Mei's subtle gaze, her fragile heart sank as accurately as a basketball thrown into a 'basket'—the trash can.

He habitually hid away.

"Wait, Ichiri-chan? Come out quickly! It's all because Naru-san went too far! Don't take it too seriously!"

"Pfft~ Even though Hongxia herself was saying bad things."

Yamada Ryo's act of covering his mouth and mocking her made Iji Chikyu Natsu's pretty face blush slightly. Her best friend was actually siding with Naru-san, whom she had just met. Ryo was such a traitor!

Seeing sex and forgetting friends!

Realizing she couldn't pull out the pink, trembling, bouncing snake hiding in the trash can, Ijiji Nijika pouted reproachfully and looked in Kazami Mei's direction, her expression quite telling.

[You've gotten into trouble too, hurry up and think of a solution]

Under Nijika's expectant gaze, a helpless Kazami Mei finally dragged her tired body to the side of the trash can.

He slowly spoke from the edge of the trash can: "It's a small problem, just a matter of not being able to coordinate with everyone. What's there to be afraid of?"

"At least your guitar playing can still be heard."

"Hey~ don't just start making bass jokes out of nowhere."

Yamada Ryo, with his dead fish eyes, also moved closer to Kazami Mei and affectionately punched his shoulder with his little pink fist.

Despite Ryo's intimate direct contact, Kazami Naruto did not receive any notification in his mind about obtaining an item.

Huh? Why isn't it responding when I touch the simulated object this time?

He was waiting for this opportunity to farm more items and simulation attempts. If touching the screen didn't increase the number of simulation attempts, he wouldn't have enough 'revival coins' for the next simulation!

The experiments on Miss Ryo gradually led Kazami Mei to begin to speculate—

The amount of stuff you can get from the same simulation object is probably limited. As you can see from Xiangzi Xiaodeng and Liang Xiaojie, you can only get simulation attempts or items as a reward on the first 'touch'.

If you touch it again like this, it seems there's no reaction.

Or is it that simply 'touching' is not enough for the emulator to meet the 'conditions', and other aspects of 'touching' are also required?

Yamada Ryo's gentle tap on Kazami Naru's shoulder was less of a sign of 'dissatisfaction' and more of a flirtation.

No, this is flirting!

Ichi Nijika stared in astonishment in Ryo's direction, her crimson eyes trembling slightly.

The relationship between her and Ming has progressed far too quickly. They've been right under her nose all along, yet somehow they've somehow developed to the point where they can tease each other.

Or did she miss reading ten chapters?

"Well~ anyway, just hurry up and come out, Ichiri. It's just going on stage, no need to be nervous."

"No, no, no, no—I'll suffocate..."

Little Pochi huddled tremblingly in the trash can. Just imagining the horrible scene of herself on stage made her already sickly pale face even more distorted, like an abstract masterpiece.

The world-famous painting – "The Scream"

Chapter Thirty-Eight is too rock and roll.

"If there are any problems with the performance, just play the guitar with your teeth."

"Anyway, we can solve everything with rock music, and the audience will probably think it's just for the show."

While gently poking the nearly unconscious pink Tsuchigumo, Kazami Mei earnestly offered her suggestion.

"Isn't the concept of rock a little too versatile...?"

Ichi Nijika sighed softly, feeling somewhat weary as she looked at Kazami Mei's smug smile.

Whenever she saw him, she always had the illusion that she was seeing Yamada Ryo with a split personality. After spending so much time together, she had gotten to know this guy pretty well.

Kazami Mei has a strange personality that is completely different from the impression of his handsome and refined appearance.

"Then you three can stay here and work out together. I'm going outside to get some drinks while I wait for you to go on stage."

Despite Pochi's pleading look, Kazami Mei stepped out of the practice room without hesitation.

If this person he could 'rely on' were always by his side, it might make the already timid Pochi even more hesitant to take a step forward.

She'll have to overcome this difficulty on her own, little by little.

……

Kazami Mei stroked her chin and began searching for her favorite drinks and snacks at the front desk.

STARRY's LiveHouse in the Shimokitazawa area is quite well-known.

Once the number of guests increases, various demands will naturally arise.

LiveHouse is categorized as a food and beverage establishment, so simply offering drinks wouldn't satisfy customers. Selling small snacks like cakes and dumplings would be perfect for someone like Kazami who has a sweet tooth.

"Although the place isn't big, it's surprisingly well-equipped."

"That last sentence was superfluous, kid."

The blonde woman sitting next to them, arms crossed, stared at them with sharp eyes. Putting aside her pretty face, one would feel intimidated at first glance by her intimidating gaze.

The premise is that what she's holding isn't 'Goodbaby Juice Drink'.

"You're a friend that Hongxia brought, right? Here, take this."

Before he could even speak, the blonde woman casually tossed him a bottle of 'good juice,' her slightly upturned phoenix eyes and deliberately raised head seeming to tell him it was a free gift.

Just take it and drink it!

Although it was the first time Kazami Mei had met her, she could recognize her at a glance from her striking, long, golden hair that seemed to be inherited from her ancestors and the little tuft of hair on her head that was trembling slightly.

Ijichi Nijika's biological older sister, and also the manager of this 'STARRY' store—Ijichi Seika.

"Thank you, manager. By the way, do you not have any snacks to go with it?"

"You're really rude."

Looking impatient, Ijichi Hoshika rested her chin on one hand and pointed to a spot not far away with her free finger.

This is the snack counter at the beverage station. To meet the needs of customers, various kinds of small snacks such as dumplings are displayed on it, and the prices are clearly marked.

Kazami Mei only glanced at it briefly before he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, because he saw a price that made him want to back out.

It's just a matcha daifuku, and they dare to charge 350 yen!

Are you kidding me?! You know, even a discounted pork cutlet bento box at the supermarket only costs 288 yen!

Why does a simple glutinous rice ball that can be eaten in one bite deserve such a high price?!

"You're not thinking to yourself that our store is robbing you, are you?"

"There is no store manager at all, and I think the price is very fair and reasonable."

Kazami Mei turned her head seriously to meet Iji Tomoka's gaze, and answered in the calmest tone she could muster at the moment, while casually picking up the sinful matcha daifuku from the cabinet with her left hand.

You mere 350 yen monster? Watch me take you down in one bite!

"This is just a drink; you'll have to pay for the snacks."

"You want to rob me, huh?"

Kazami Naru turned his head expressionlessly, almost unable to resist throwing the matcha daifuku in his hand away.

This place truly lives up to its reputation as a rock-themed livehouse. After buying a concert ticket, you have to spend money to buy a drink voucher to redeem a drink. Keep in mind that a drink here costs a full 500 yen!

Even these ubiquitous snacks are much more expensive than outside, which Kazami Mei considers a total rip-off!

So rockin'!

In the end, under the teasing gaze of Iji Tomoka, Kazami Mei paid for the 350 yen matcha daifuku.

Since I've already fallen in love with it at first sight, perhaps it's some kind of fate.

"Oh no, I didn't realize I was pairing 'good fruit juice' with daifuku."

"Are you dissatisfied with 'good juice'? Be careful, or you won't be able to enjoy 'good juice' anymore."

Ijichi Hoshika seemed quite annoyed that 'good juice' was being disliked, grumbling as she shook the almost empty drink box in her hand.

This is a super sweet drink that Japanese elementary school students love to drink, and everyone who has tried it says it's great!

Kazami Mei slightly pursed his lips; he was very particular about food.

When a sweet 'good fruit' is paired with an even sweeter matcha daifuku, wouldn't the combination of the two sweetnesses cause the milder side to completely overwhelm the other side?
