How can my simulation be a real love?

Kazami Mei stared calmly at Miss Ryo in front of him. To be honest, he had a vague idea when he arrived. After all, Ryo was willing to spend money to find a way to send him home, especially since he had obtained the 'door number', a position that was like a battlefield.

Do you think he was forcibly kissed by Miss Liang several times in the simulation?

"Humph~"

Yamada Ryo had no intention of letting go; having finally seized this opportunity, he was determined not to let it slip away.

With the two of them face to face and so close they could feel each other's breath, even the expressionless Miss Liang's face was already flushed with a lazy, drunken blush. Too lazy to waste words, she simply tiptoed and kissed him.

Her seemingly domineering and forceful approach to attack could not conceal her naivety and shyness.

Miss Liang's aggressive approach was just a desperate attack. She couldn't match him in terms of endurance or anything else. She was counterattacked after only a few rounds, and soon her snow-white skin was covered with glistening beads of sweat.

"call……"

To be honest, it was a little thrilling.

If it weren't for the fact that when they were kissing just now, Kazami Naruto suddenly tasted the flavor of fried tempura in Ryo-san's mouth, she probably would have been completely captivated by her charm.

"Ming."

A girl's cool, low murmur reached his ears.

How much do you like me now?

37

Chapter Thirty-Seven: How Much I Like You

You, woman, truly delight me—

How much do I like you?

Upon hearing Ms. Ryo's words, Kazami Mei gradually calmed down, perhaps because the aroma of fried tempura and hellish miso ramen was quite tempting, which greatly eased the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

Even when attacked by the alluring and seductive blue succubus, he was unable to immediately gain the upper hand.

I like it 200%.

Without even a moment's thought, he gave his answer without hesitation.

Even though his attitude towards Yamada Ryo was very different from his attitude towards others, Kazami Mei was simply using 'scum to fight scum'.

In fact, his feelings and affection for Miss Liang were no less than those for anyone else around him!

As the first simulated wife, Miss Ryo holds a very special place in Kazami Mei's heart.

"How does it compare to Hongxia?"

Yamada Ryo narrowed her pale golden eyes and stared at Kazami Mei's face. Her right hand was still gently gripping his collar, forcing him to look at her. Beneath her seemingly calm expression lay other meanings.

Clearly, this wasn't a casual flirtation she made.

It was precisely because Miss Ryo was asking him very seriously what kind of place she held in his heart that Kazami Mei, no matter how much he liked Yamada Ryo, would never lie to please her on such a matter.

Kazami Mei stared at Yamada Ryo's indifferent, pretty face, took a slight breath, then raised her eyes again, looking directly at Ms. Yamada without fear, and spoke in a deep voice with undisguised certainty—

"I like both Nijika and Ryo the same."

"...?"

Yamada Ryo couldn't help but furrow her delicate eyebrows, and the alluring beauty mark at the corner of her eye gained an unusual luster under the gaze of her cold golden eyes.

When Yamada Ryo heard Kazami Mei earnestly express her feelings, she was surprised but also felt a strange mix of emotions. She gripped Kazami Mei's collar even tighter, and her already cold and beautiful face became even more frosty at that moment.

The next moment, she kissed him forcefully again.

As they parted, Yamada Ryo's pretty face was already flushed with a faint blush. She breathed weakly, then asked again, her voice barely audible—

"what about now?"

"...Even if you kiss me a few more times, my answer will only be the same."

Kazami Mei stared calmly at Yamada Ryo's beautiful face. At such close range, they could clearly feel each other's hot breath, and the intoxicating fragrance emanating from Miss Ryo kept wafting into his nostrils. She seemed to be deliberately showing her dissatisfaction as she gently rubbed her head against his neck.

The delicate, azure-blue short hair brushed lightly against his skin, causing a ticklish sensation that made Kazami Naru instinctively want to back away.

But Yamada Ryo seemed to have anticipated his reaction, pinning him against the wall from the very beginning and restricting all his movements, leaving him with only the option of 'counterattack'.

"Does that mean Ming likes both me and Hongxia at the same time?"

Despite having launched such an offensive, Kazami Mei's attitude remained unwavering throughout.

Hearing him say that he "likes himself" and "likes others" filled Miss Liang with joy, but also with a mix of emotions. Even her tone was much gentler than before, compared to her previous forceful attitude.

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

"And that's not all?"

Yamada Ryo's slightly gentle tone was immediately replaced by coldness. She immediately thought of Kita Ikuyo, whom she was always on guard against. The scene of that 'dream' was still imprinted in her mind.

So much so that while the two usually had a good relationship in the band, they were ruthless 'enemies' when it came to Kazami Mei.

"Is it Yudai? Or Bochi?"

As she said those words, Yamada Ryo nodded to herself. She looked at Kazami Naru's dark eyes, which were filled with serious emotion, then narrowed her eyes and reached out to forcefully pull his face to the side.

As if seeking 'revenge', the blue-haired succubus revealed a hint of glee.

"Everyone is."

Just as her words were a sincere and genuine expression, Kazami Mei's reply to her was also a heartfelt expression of true feelings.

Does this guy really want to form a harem band?

"Scumbag."

Yamada Ryo slowly released the other person's cheek, which he had pinched red. His seemingly calm face concealed a faint chill.

The usually lazy and elegant Yamada Ryo revealed a completely different side at this moment, even when she learned that Kazami Mei really wanted to start a 'harem', her thoughts were in turmoil.

Kazami Mei was already prepared for her cold expression and spoke again without hesitation: "I like each and every one of you, so I will definitely make you all agree."

Since Kazami Mei has already made a 'promise', he will not back down. Even if he is called a 'scumbag' by Ryo-san, he deserves it. But even so, he will carry out what he told Touka and Mutsuki from beginning to end.

Yamada Ryo, her pale golden eyes raised, crossed her arms and stared expressionlessly at Kazami Mei's face, a face she both loved and hated. Their gazes met without shifting in the slightest.

The gradually deepening atmosphere allowed the two to stare at each other for several dozen seconds.

With an icy demeanor, Yamada Ryo brushed a few strands of her deep blue hair behind her ear, and her meaningful, calm voice drifted out: "You...slept with other people?"

"No."

Kazami Mei shook his head without hesitation, saying that he had no intention of doing it now, no matter what.

They're still just high school students, and they haven't even sorted out their emotional issues yet. Even if the other person takes the initiative, they certainly won't agree to it.

Since he has decided to be with everyone, he must take responsibility for it; otherwise, he will find it difficult to live with himself.

"so."

Upon hearing these words, Yamada Ryo nodded his head slightly.

She raised her calm golden eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and bit Kazami Naruto's smooth neck, only stopping when a red mark that was difficult to fade appeared.

"I disagree."

"I will make you willingly break up with everyone else, and from now on you can only say 'I like you' to me."

Yamada Ryo said this in a calm yet serious tone. No matter what, she found it hard to accept Kazami Naru's 'idea'. Even though she often joked that the end of the band would be his harem, she would not agree to it if it really came to that.

If, as the eldest daughter of the Yamada family, she were to marry Kazami Mei in the end, perhaps she could be a little more 'lenient' in front of everyone after the band's demise.

Because of the feelings that Hongxia had in the 'dream', she still feels guilty, but Ming, who married her at the time, was extremely devoted and would never have any feelings for anyone else.

In reality, Naruto seems to have changed a lot due to various 'factors', and even Yamada Ryo doesn't know whether this is good or bad for the future.

"Then please be prepared, Miss Liang, because I will definitely make you change your mind and say 'agree'."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kazami Naruto straightened his back. His slightly pursed lips were filled with a confidence that stunned Yamada Ryo, as if Kazami Naruto was absolutely certain that he would do what he said!

Even Yamada Ryo, who completely disagreed with the idea of ​​a harem, felt a strange unease at this moment.

This guy really dares to make such a boast!

Yamada Ryo, whose expression was as cold as ice, was originally about to make a sarcastic remark about Kazami Mei, but the moment he opened his mouth, his 'teasing' words vanished like smoke, leaving him with only a casual, indifferent response—

"...It's just the chirping of some insignificant fish; I'll wait and see."

After saying that, Yamada Ryo pushed open the iron gate of her house and walked into the yard. She didn't look back at all until she entered the house, leaving only Kazami Mei standing at the door watching her leave from afar. Then she let out a long sigh.

"It seems we can't just sit here and wait to die."

Building a harem is not as simple as just talking about it; after all, the real world is not child's play.

Even if he could eventually convince Yamada Ryo to agree to his idea, he still wouldn't be able to get past the Yamada family's objection, since no parent would want their daughter to marry someone else.

To gain recognition from everyone, one must at least have the ability to take responsibility for everyone's lives.

First, resolve the practical factors; then, the rest is about emotions.

……

the other side.

Having changed into her everyday clothes, Mitsumi Hatsuka looked at Wakaba Mutsu beside her with a complicated expression.

After Ave Mujica's performance, she and Mujica got into the company car and left the theater together. However, before that, Mika had not had much interaction with Mukuro Wakaba. The usually taciturn Mukuro did not seem to intend to speak up.

If Misaka Hatsuka also remained silent, the two of them would probably endure this awkward atmosphere until they went home separately.

"...Um, Xiao Mu?"

After careful consideration, Misaka Hatsuka finally spoke, and her friendly greeting made Wakaba Mutsu turn her head away expressionlessly.

"I've actually wanted to ask this for a while now, Xiao Mu, you and Xiao Xiang have a good relationship, right?"

"Yes, we've known each other for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Ruoye Mutsu nodded gently. Carrying her small bag in both hands, she strolled lightly across the hard asphalt road, her light green hair swaying gently in the cool breeze.

Her indifferent and taciturn demeanor made it difficult for Mikasa to speak, but recalling the scene of Wakaba Mutsu and Kazami Mei's date, the somewhat apprehensive Mikasa finally mustered up her courage.

"Xiao Mu, since that's the case... you should also know who Xiao Xiang likes, right?"

The moment his voice faded into the air, Wakaba Mutsu, wearing round-toed leather shoes, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

If Ye Mu slowly turned around, his calm, pale golden eyes would gaze at the blonde girl's beautiful face. His gaze, devoid of any emotion, made Sanka Chuka feel uneasy.

It felt as if the moment those eyes looked at me, they could see right through me.

Nervous, Misaka Hatsuka couldn't help but raise her hand, forcing a slightly stiff smile as she spoke, "Xiao Mu? What's wrong..."

"Xiangzi likes Ming."

The jade hand that Sanjiao Chuhua had just raised suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Faced with Ruoye Mu's blunt words, she instinctively felt a little at a loss. It could be said that she never expected Ruoye Mu to bring this up so openly, and her doll-like, delicate face showed no sign of nervousness.

Doesn't she think there's a problem?

Despite knowing full well who Toyokawa Shoko's childhood friend truly loves, Wakaba Mutsumi still secretly goes on dates with Kazami Mei! Logically, she shouldn't be doing this at all…

Or was it because Wakaba Mutsu was too naive that she didn't realize that what she was doing was inappropriate?

"Xiao Mu, you really do know that Xiao Xiang likes Ming Jun, but what you're saying..."

"Does Chu Hua also like Ming?"

Ruo Ye Mu's calm words pierced Sanjiao Chuhua's heart like sharp arrows, forcing her to swallow back all the words she had prepared to say.

Why, why does Mu know about this?

Misaka Hatsuka felt as if the expressionless doll-like girl in front of her had seen through her thoughts all along. As Shoko's 'best friend,' she herself had developed feelings for Kazami Narumi that she shouldn't have.

Even she herself has done this much, so what right does she have to warn Ruoye Mu?

After all, Mu may not have done anything outrageous yet, but she has already done something to betray Xiangzi.

"I……"

When asked this question, Mikami Hatsuka really wanted to just say "I don't like it," but those three words kept churning in her throat.

No matter how hard she tried to muster the courage, she couldn't bring herself to say it. Her mind was in a mess, and she could only clutch the hem of her clothes to relieve her tension.

How should I answer this?
