How can my simulation be a real love?

She was afraid that she wouldn't be accepted by Kazami Mei, afraid that he no longer liked her, afraid that her eagerness for love would cause him to dislike her, afraid that she wouldn't even be able to be friends with him...

But now, she finally dares to express all her feelings!

hiss--

Goto Ichiri stared at Kita-san beside her in utter shock, as if she couldn't believe what Kita had just said.

Is this still the same Kita Ikuyo who only dares to secretly admire and express her feelings? To dare to give a straight answer to Ryo-senpai's question without changing her expression is astonishing as declaring war on Yamada Ryo!

Wait a minute, was Kita-chan switched with someone else?

"Really? I like Naruto too."

Seeing that Kita Ikuyo was willing to give a direct answer, Yamada Ryo was somewhat surprised.

However, this was just a little 'unexpected' for her, since no matter how Kita Ikuyo answered, she would give her answer without hesitation.

"Wait a minute, Kita-chan... and Ryo too, both of you calm down a bit!"

Sensing something was amiss, Ichika quickly tried to soothe the two with a gentle tone.

In a rock band, when two members simultaneously express their feelings for a third party, this textbook example of a 'band breaking up' unfolds right before her eyes, and Hongxia certainly isn't going to stand by and watch that happen!

“Hongxia, don’t worry, Yudai and I are both very calm right now.”

Yamada Ryo responded casually to Nijika beside her in a lazy tone, and under the bewildered look in Nijika's eyes, she looked at Kita Ikuyo again.

Under the anxious gaze of the other person, Yamada Ryo spoke slowly and deliberately: "If it's Yuyo, you should know who Mei likes right now, right?"

The three people present were stunned by the short sentence.

Regarding the question of who Kazami Mei currently likes, everyone is secretly wondering about it. So, after Ryo-san uttered those words, even Nijika-san, who was preparing to smooth things over, couldn't help but look in Kita Ikuyo's direction.

Suddenly being stared at by so many eyes, Kita Ikuyo frowned slightly. Her fiery red hair swayed gently a few times, and her small fist pressed hard against the side of her skirt.

She certainly knew the answer to this question in her heart, but she didn't know how to express it.

Because Ming likes more than one person!

"I, I don't know."

Perhaps having anticipated this answer, Yamada Ryo's face remained completely expressionless.

"...In that case, I'll tell you."

Ms. Ryo gave Kita Ikuyo a meaningful look, then pointed to herself under the other's shocked gaze. Before anyone could react, she stretched out her hand and twirled it in the air.

"What does it mean?"

This action left Ichika Nijika, who was standing next to him, completely bewildered. She seemed to have some difficulty understanding what Yamada Ryo was trying to express.

Only Kita Ikuyo's expression changed slightly; she suddenly realized that Ryo-san was about to say something.

"Ming, he likes more than one person."

“Eh…eh?!”

Ichi Nijika was stunned for a moment before she suddenly realized what was happening, and her whole body froze as if she had been frightened.

The overwhelming amount of information that suddenly flooded her mind left her unsure how to react. Standing next to her, Miss Pochi was much calmer than Ichiji Nijika, though she looked away, unsure of where to look.

After all, Pochi had already established a 'companion' relationship with Takamatsu before this.

Since Ms. Pochi had already promised Takamatsu Akari that she would achieve the goal of having Kazami Mei date everyone, she wasn't particularly surprised when Yamada Ryo revealed his intentions at this time.

What surprised Boqi the most was that Kazami Naruto actually had the same idea! She originally thought it would take a long time for him to cross the line, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Wait, doesn't this mean she can go find Ming now?

Anyway, Ming definitely likes me!

You should know that in the 'dream,' she is a great woman who sweeps across the world and wins victories. If I just take the initiative a little, I can win her over immediately!

Yamada Ryo, of course, had no idea what Pochi, who had started grinning foolishly, was thinking. She turned her head expressionlessly to look at Ijichi Nijika, who was still quite shocked beside her. Only when facing Nijika did a complex look flash in her eyes.

Even so, she still casually exposed her friend as well.

“Hongxia, you’re also in Ming’s [Harem Goal].

"I?!"

Instantly blushing, Ichiji Nijika had no idea how to answer. Like a girl who had just fallen in love, she shyly covered her face with her hands, and in the blink of an eye, wisps of steam could be seen slowly rising from her head.

Even the most cheerful and energetic angel would be at a loss at this moment.

"How...how could that be? Ming-sang wouldn't fall for me, right? This isn't just a joke you made up, Liang?"

Faced with Ijichi Nijika's flustered questioning, Yamada Ryo simply shook his head slightly. Her reaction made Nijika's voice tremble slightly: "But...but! This won't do, it's too outrageous no matter what!"

In any case, this is far too sudden!

Ryo suddenly tells everyone that Ming likes more than one person, meaning he plans to date several people at the same time...

Unlike Ichika, whose mind was completely confused and disoriented, Kita Ikuyo, who was still calm, frowned slightly and looked at Yamada Ryo with some doubt, asking—

"Senior Liang suddenly told us something. Is he planning to do something?"

"I'm just telling you this; you can do whatever you want with it."

Yamada Ryo's pale golden eyes remained fixed on the crowd. After saying everything she needed to say, she yawned as if she were tired, then glanced at the time casually before revealing a look of realization.

"I have some important things to take care of, so I'll head back now."

Under the questioning gazes of several girls, Miss Liang casually waved her hand to say goodbye and then turned to leave.

Ichi Nijika, whose mind was still quite confused, didn't know what to say. She looked at Kita Ikuyo, who was also frowning and deep in thought, and Goto Ichiri, who was still a little dazed. She knew very well that the huge amount of information was hard for everyone to accept.

As the leader of the [End Band], she needed to step up her responsibilities at a time like this. Thinking this, Hongxia rallied herself, trying her best to project a gentle and warm demeanor as she reassured them—

"In short, everyone should go home and rest today."

Although Ichi Nijika was more confused than anyone else at this moment, she could not show it in front of others.

“That’s true. Then, Senior Hongxia… Xiaoboqi and I will be leaving now.”

Kita Ikuyo let out a long sigh, her mood somewhat complicated, never expecting things to develop in this way.

She has no idea what Liang's attitude is right now, so what should she do next?

Only after Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri had also stepped onto the STARRY stairs and left did Nijika, who was holding the doorknob, slowly close the door and let out a long sigh of relief. She leaned against the inside of the door, feeling a little weak.

Her bright red eyes seemed to be looking at the sky through the wall, and the golden Doritos on her head seemed to be trembling slightly. Even now, her mind is still in a mess, and she is completely unable to calm down and think.

"How to do?"

Feeling her heart still pounding rapidly, the girl murmured a question.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Who can be so confused?

Different times, but the same approaching evening.

Tokyo in autumn may be a little different from other years. The early sunset casts a dim light on the world, and the streets and alleys are not as bustling as they are in summer.

So it doesn't matter if you stroll recklessly in the middle of the street, enjoying the crisp autumn air.

Perhaps because of the sudden drop in temperature, Kaoruna, who had left STARRY, clung tightly to his arm, as if this close contact would bring her more warmth.

But precisely because of this, she clung to Kazami Mei like a sloth, greatly slowing down his continuous pace.

"Lenai, aren't you going home yet?"

"No, I still want to play."

The silver-haired stray cat gently shook her head, her raised eyebrows reflecting Kazami's expression, clearly indicating that she had no intention of giving in so easily.

However, it was clear that she had somewhat underestimated the so-called "Autumn Night"—

"It's so cold..."

As a cool breeze swept in, the cat, who was afraid of the cold, shrank its slender neck and snuggled into Kazami's arms, making it require Kazami to exert more effort to drag the cat along.

Seeing the stray cat's delicate body trembling slightly from the cold, a subtle feeling flashed through Kazami Naruto's mind as he frowned.

To be honest, he still hasn't met the cat's parents. In this sudden drop in temperature, don't her family know to put more clothes on the cat?

Speaking of the day when the rainstorm found the cat, the cat's family felt comfortable letting her stay at their house for one night.

He's a teenager, after all. What if he loses control?

"...Fine, I just can't do anything with you."

If I were wearing black-rimmed glasses, you little kitten would definitely be doomed today!

Immediately, Kazami Mei took off his coat and wrapped the shivering stray cat inside. Ms. Rakuna, feeling the residual warmth through the clothes, comfortably squinted her eyes.

She took his care for granted, just like a pet kitten.

As the two stepped into the shopping district near Yokohama, the aroma of fried meat patties wafted from the surrounding butcher shops.

The aroma alone is enough to whet your appetite as dinner time approaches, let alone for someone like Le Nai, whose sense of smell is already very sensitive; she can hardly move after smelling this aroma.

With her naturally keen sense of smell, Lena twitched her little nose slightly, pursed her lips, and reached out her little hand to tug at the hem of Kazemi's clothes.

Kazami Mei knew perfectly well what the white cat was thinking, so she expressionlessly reached out and pinched her little nose, speaking with a hint of annoyance—

"I have some things to take care of right now. If you behave yourself later, I'll buy you something nice to eat."

Want to be with Renai: ! ?

Seeing that the stray cat had completely calmed down and huddled to the side, he turned his attention to his phone with a slight smile on his lips.

When he confirmed his relationship with Miss Su Shi last time, he received a message from Ruoye Mutsu wanting to meet alone.

It was obvious that Mutsu had something she wanted to talk to him about, so Kazami Naruto set their date for the evening. However, she showed up unexpectedly, which prevented their meeting from proceeding smoothly because of Suze.

Now that things have been mostly resolved with Mygo, it's only natural that her boyfriend, Kazami Naruto, can't continue to ignore her and should take the initiative to make amends to her.

Of course, there's one more thing—

At that time, it seemed that Wakaba Mutsu had something she wanted to tell him, but because of Suze-san, she ultimately didn't say anything, which made Kazami Mei very concerned about it.

Because Xiaomutou has a rather serious personality, she tends to discuss important matters in person, and only sends 'invitations' and ordinary messages on Line.

"It should be that one, right?"

His gaze was drawn to a trendy cafe in southern Yokohama called Ahnenerbe, a shop with a slightly peculiar atmosphere and business practices.

This place is less of a coffee shop and more of a shop that has everything. After all, the variety of coffees is even less than the variety of dishes. Customers can even order a couple of beers if they want.

Because it was not far from the apartment where Kazami Mei lived, it was the place where she had arranged to meet Shiina Tatsuki.

jingle--

As the clear sound of a bell rang, Kazami Naru slowly pushed open the glass door of the cafe.

As soon as he entered the dimly lit café, he immediately focused his gaze on a corner seat and almost instantly made eye contact with a cucumber-shaped girl with an expressionless face. This was probably a habit that Kazami Naruto had developed from his many previous dates with her.

The little wooden figures would always choose a corner or a spot near a window, and over time, Kazami Naruto also developed what is called 'sensory perception'.

"Ok?"

Just then, Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow slightly.

He suddenly noticed that a familiar little penguin had also poked its cute little head out from beside its seat. Upon seeing him, the little penguin's eyes lit up slightly, and its somewhat delicate amber eyes held a hint of joy.

Perhaps because Kazami Mei was accompanied by a familiar white cat, Takamatsu Akari, who was as pure and adorable as a small animal, blinked in confusion.

Renai-chan?

Why is Rakuna next to Naruto?

Before the girl could even form any thoughts, Kazami Mei had already walked over from the doorway.

"Sorry I'm late, I was a little delayed on the way."

"It's okay, Xiao Mu and I didn't wait long..."

When Takamatsu Akari apologized, she immediately waved her hand, while Wakaba Mutsu, who was standing next to her, gently shook her head to indicate that she didn't care.

only--

The cucumber-shaped girl, as expressionless as a doll, stared at Kazami Naru's face, then her noble pale gold eyes gently swept over the stray cat beside Kazami Naru.

Seeing the other person clinging to Kazami Naruto's side, even she, who was usually unable to express emotions like a doll, showed a change in expression.
