How can my simulation be a real love?

As expected, Kazami Mei's gentle 'reprimand' failed to break through Yamada Ryo's defenses at all.

It's important to know that although both are 'blue-haired succubi', Teacher Da Xiang and Miss Liang's fighting power is not even in the same league.

“How can there be no problem!”

Seeing the other person's nonchalant expression, Toyokawa Shoko's pupils gradually widened. She really didn't expect that this 'Yamada Ryo' would be such a shameless and wicked woman!

Seeing the other person's sullen expression, Miss Liang smiled smugly, tilting her head slightly and speaking slowly, "It's alright, look, Ming didn't even care..."

Before she could finish speaking, her delicate, fair cheeks were grabbed. With a 'kind' smile on her face, Kazami Mei used both hands to pull Yamada Ryo's soft face apart, speaking in a somewhat meaningful tone—

"I don't think I said I didn't care, did I? You better give me your money back honestly."

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Even with her cheeks pinched until they were bright red, Yamada Ryo still protested expressionlessly. Only after Kazami Mei released her hand did she wisely shut her mouth and return to her usual indifferent, lazy, and elegant demeanor.

This seemed to gradually calm Toyokawa Shoko, whose mind was in turmoil.

Now that Yamada Ryo has obediently prepared to 'repay the money,' Toyokawa Shoko's stance as a friend ends here.

However, she felt somewhat wary of Yamada Ryo, this strange and despicable woman who could casually utter such 'vulgar' lines. Toyokawa Shoko decided that she would have a private talk with Kazami Mei later and make him stay away from this blue-haired bad woman as much as possible!

"..."

Yamada Ryo simply stared at Toyokawa Shoko, whose pretty face was flushed and completely covered in a blush, his pale golden eyes flashing with a strange light.

With a languid expression, Miss Liang gently propped up her smooth, fair chin with the back of her hand. Her delicate face gradually filled with an interested smile, and the beauty mark next to her left eye added a touch of charm and beauty.

In fact, Yamada Ryo's appearance at this ramen shop wasn't simply for the sake of eating.

Yamada Ryo appeared here to 'stake out' the place, because she had another peculiar dream in which she witnessed the weakest Pochi defeating everyone and eventually marrying Kazami Naru.

This time, everyone in Bochi [End Band] has a chance to be with Naruto, plus Mygo's side and even this pure nobody Shoko in front of us. The threat lurking around Kazami Naruto is increasing at a visible speed.

The uncontrollable developments made Yamada Ryo realize that he could no longer sit idly by and wait for his doom.

Simply put, she got anxious.

If things continued like this, she would only end up as a loser, so she decided not to wait any longer.

If he fails to catch the other party today, Yamada Ryo is prepared to storm his house just like last time.

……

The three, who were also 'composers', finished their dinner while chatting. When Toyokawa Shoko walked out of the store with her shoulder bag, night had already fallen and the surrounding streets were completely shrouded in dazzling neon lights.

A cool breeze swept through the already dim sky, and Xiangzi, who had been squinting, gently raised his head.

"It's already autumn..."

This short summer vacation has passed in the blink of an eye. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I didn't do anything during this vacation.

She devoted almost all her energy to the band and the future, and even when she had some spare time, she couldn't make good use of it for Kazami Mei.

Their relationship doesn't seem to be progressing much.

However, there's no need to rush.

"Phew—I guess I should head home soon..."

"Ming, let's see each other again when school starts?"

Having calmed down, Toyokawa Shoko's beautiful face once again radiated a stunning smile. She spoke very earnestly to Kazami Mei in a soft voice, her bright and clear eyes, like moonlight, containing a faint trace of longing.

It's such a pity that only he can see such a gentle and lovely teacher as Da Xiang.

"Xiangzi, do you want me to take you home?"

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow slightly, her words carrying a hint of concern.

However, he immediately regretted saying those words as soon as they left his mouth, because he suddenly remembered that it was not convenient for Xiao Xiang's current residence to be known.

Send her home?

Upon hearing these words, Toyokawa Shoko's face gradually darkened. She opened her mouth, wanting to say "yes" without hesitation, but the words were forced back down her throat by reason.

She gripped her shoulder bag slightly with her fingertips, a mix of emotions welling up inside her as she let out a long sigh.

"Ming, thank you so much for your kindness."

"However, I plan to go home alone and enjoy the night breeze. I had a very enjoyable dinner, and if I have the chance next time... I would like to try your cooking again."

How could she possibly let Ming take her home?

Just thinking about her family's current situation made her breath catch in her throat. Toyokawa Shoko didn't want Mei to know about her family's situation, at least not right now...

This is why she hasn't invited him to her home yet—not because she dislikes Kazami Mei, but because Toyokawa Shoko simply can't bring herself to do it.

"Oh, I see. How about we invite everyone over to my house for a band celebration party next time we have time?"

"no……"

With a slight change in her expression, Toyokawa Shoko muttered softly. Right now, she was like a child hoarding a treasure, not wanting anyone else to discover this 'treasure' that belonged only to her.

But after realizing what she meant, Toyokawa Shoko gently shook her head, her beautiful eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled—

"...Anyway, I'll definitely go there to 'mooch a meal' again next time."

A cool autumn breeze lifted the girl's delicate, smooth hair, and her gently swaying azure ponytail left graceful arcs in the air.

Why is she showing such a sweet smile?

I think Xiao Xiang's purpose in coming here to freeload wasn't actually to eat!

"Then I'll wait for Lord Xiangzi's arrival?"

After a few more casual jokes, she nodded in satisfaction. As she said goodbye to Kazami Naru and prepared to leave, she noticed Yamada Ryo not far away. She seemed to be leaning against the entrance of the ramen shop, yawning lazily. It seemed that after she left, she and Naru would probably go home together.

I'm a little jealous...

If her family weren't in that situation, she would definitely have asked Kazami to take her home!

Although she felt a little jealous, Toyokawa Shoko didn't think Yamada Ryo was anything to be wary of.

Today, just like last time, she buried herself in her food and ate voraciously. Usually, aside from uttering some shameless words, she's basically a cold and lazy girl. She doesn't seem like the so-called 'love rival'?

"Ming, you absolutely cannot agree to what Ms. Yamada said...that..."

"Sunshine, Rainbow, Little White Horse?"

Kazami Mei frowned and tentatively uttered lines that were difficult to decipher. These strange words lessened Toyokawa Shoko's shyness considerably. She reached out and gently pinched the hem of Kazami Mei's clothes, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness—

"No, that's not it! It's those 'other ways' she just mentioned about repaying the money!"

You won't allow this, you won't allow that, so Xiao Xiang, why don't you pay for Miss Liang's debt?

That's all for now, I'm going home!

With her face burning hot, Toyokawa Shoko turned and left after saying those words. Her words didn't sound like something a 'friend' would say at all. It took her heart a long time to calm down.

She took a deep breath of the crisp, cool air and looked up at the sky.

From this moment on, the future is different—

Shoko Toyokawa, having formed Ave Mujica, will begin here to prove her worth step by step! After she gains a foothold through the band, it will be time for her to openly express her feelings to Akira Kazami.

She is confident that she will never lose to anyone.

"...She left so quickly?"

As Toyokawa Shoko's figure gradually disappeared into the distant street, Yamada Ryo, who had been waiting for a moment, crossed her arms and approached Kazami Mei, displaying her usual aloof and languid elegance.

However, once they were alone together, she moved much closer to him.

"Were you planning to take Toyokawa home just now, Ming? You didn't even come to take me home..."

"Your home is nearby, right?"

Kazami Mei raised her eyes with a strange expression.

"I want Ming to take me home."

Yamada Ryo narrowed her pale golden eyes and stared directly at Kazami Naruto in front of her.

She, who always kept a blank expression, spoke such straightforward words without hesitation at this moment. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye and her extremely handsome face seemed to give her a charming and delicate allure. Even just a glance back was enough to make people unable to look away.

Normally, Kazami Mei would be completely unable to ignore her request.

"Thank you for your 2000 yen for the 'Home Service'."

Kazami Mei regained his composure in just a moment of eye contact. You see, thanks to his persistent training, he can now resist even the charm of a little wooden doll.

Miss Liang is nothing more than a very pretty face; once you know her despicable personality, she can't seduce him at all.

"..."

I thought that Ms. Liang, who loves money more than anything, would probably click her tongue and express her dissatisfaction, but who knew that she would actually take out two thousand-yuan bills from her pocket.

Something's not right. Is this some kind of Lostbelt?

"Hmmmm~"

Seeing the change in Kazami Mei's expression, Yamada Ryo couldn't help but smile smugly. Then, she proactively extended her fair fingers, visible outside her long sleeves, toward Kazami Mei.

A hint of smugness gradually surfaced on her cold, exquisite face, and she spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world—

"Holding my hand and leading me along, does that count as part of the 'service'?"

The Tokyo boss is so generous; he makes all the decisions!

Kazami Mei gently squeezed Yamada Ryo's soft and smooth little hand. Despite being a young lady who played bass for many years, her hands were delicate and boneless. The moment she grasped Yamada Ryo's hand, she unceremoniously squeezed it back.

Turning my head, I saw that the girl's calm and beautiful face was fueled by emotions, and her snow-white skin was tinged with a beautiful red.

Only when he got closer did he realize that Miss Liang was dressed very beautifully today.

Her smooth, short, azure hair exuded a rose-like fragrance. Her slender, straight legs were encased in pure black velvet stockings, and beneath her gray knitted long-sleeved cardigan was a black pleated skirt. Her already exquisite and beautiful features were further enhanced by her cool and elegant demeanor, creating a stunning aesthetic.

Oh no, the more I look at this slut, the more attractive she seems.

"Does it look good?"

Yamada Ryo, walking along the road, spoke indifferently without turning his head.

She seemed to be subtly playing with her soft, azure hair, revealing her white earlobes adorned with metal earrings to him, her delicate face slightly turned to the side as she gazed in his direction.

In this situation, Kazami Mei would never lie.

He simply gazed at the girl's snow-white face and answered directly with quite sincere words, "Beautiful."

Miss Liang seemed pleased to hear the praise, and immediately felt satisfied, raising her head like a proud swan.

"Hmph~ I knew it would be like this."

"It's normal for Naruto to be attracted to my charm, because I'm a super pretty girl."

Seeing her smug expression, Kazami Naruto shrugged helplessly and spoke with a hint of flattery—

"Yes, yes, Miss Liang is super beautiful."

"That's a given."

While enjoying Kazami Naruto's praise, Yamada Ryo gripped his hand slightly tighter. Perhaps because the Yamada family mansion wasn't far from here, the two felt as if they had arrived in no time.

Even after seeing the 'Yamada' sign, Ms. Ryo didn't seem to have any intention of letting go.

"Ming, is your 'service' over here?"

"If Miss Liang is not satisfied, I can carry it on my shoulder and bring it to your home."

Kazami Mei simply shrugged and continued speaking in a teasing tone.

"No need."

Yamada Ryo stared at her right hand, which was clasped together with Kazami Mei's, her beautiful, cold face remaining expressionless.

As if she had planned it all along, she suddenly pressed Kazami Mei against her own doorplate. With her movement, her soft, snow-white neck was revealed from under her knitted cardigan, and a delicate fragrance like that of roses filled the air.

Her right eye, hidden by her deep blue bangs, gleamed faintly as the two calmly gazed at each other at such close range.

Yamada Ryo stared at Kazami Naru, who showed no sign of panic whatsoever, and suddenly felt somewhat surprised.

This guy could always maintain a calm and confident demeanor, even when she pinned him against the wall, he still had that irritating expression, which made the corners of her mouth involuntarily turn up.

"Didn't you find it sudden?"

"so so."
