How can my simulation be a real love?

Little Wood's unusually blushing and shy demeanor was like an armor-piercing bullet, possessing a powerful destructive force beyond ordinary people's imagination. However, Kazami Naruto, who has been trained and is no longer the same as before, also has extraordinary resistance.

He simply squeezed the other person's soft, boneless hand and then revealed a faint smile.

It's just holding hands, that's too easy!

Kazami Mei wasn't completely captivated by the other's cuteness. Recalling their earlier conversation, he spoke somewhat casually—

"Actually... Xiao Mu, is there anything else you didn't say?"

Think about it carefully and you'll understand.

Little Wood, who never liked to bother Kazami Naruto, had specially invited him out, which was obviously not just about Hatsuka's matter. Of course, it's also possible that Little Wood simply wanted to get closer to him.

However, in Kazami's opinion, there was something more important that she hadn't said directly. Perhaps she still had some concerns, or perhaps she simply couldn't bring herself to say it to others.

Now, the little penguin is deliberately taking Lena away from him, probably to give Mu a chance to talk to him alone.

Wakaba Mutsu opened her mouth slightly, revealing a somewhat dazed expression.

As expected, even though she didn't say anything, Kazami Naruto could still see through her hidden thoughts. Originally, she had some reservations about Rakuna, who was also a member of Mygo, but now it seemed that she didn't need to think about it anymore.

"...Actually, it's about Su Shi."

Upon hearing this, Kazami raised an eyebrow slightly. He had probably guessed that the little wooden boy would talk about Miss Su Shi.

"Su Shi really likes Ming, but she... doesn't want to share Ming with anyone else."

"so……"

Having said that, Wakaba Mutsu didn't choose to continue. Her meaning was already quite clear, so Kazami Mei, after hearing these words, naturally had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Kazami Mei simply smiled easily and reached out to gently stroke the girl's silky, light green hair. The soft touch was accompanied by the girl's initiative to rub against his palm.

"Xiao Mu, thank you so much for reminding me."

"But you don't need to worry too much about this. I do have some thoughts about Su Shi... No matter what, I can't abandon any of you."

"If anything happens, just leave it all to me to handle."

Miss Su Shi is indeed a kind-hearted but scheming woman, but before 'scheming,' there is the most important word 'kind-hearted.'

Kazami Naruto was well aware of how possessive Ms. Suyo was, and it would be contrary to her personality for her to agree to a "harem" without hesitation, so Kazami Naruto could roughly guess what she was thinking.

As her head was gently stroked, a faint smile appeared on Wakaba Mutsu's lips. However, she didn't want to just be a cucumber flower protected in Kazami Mei's arms; she also wanted to help Mei as much as possible.

At that moment, another plan began to form in Wakaba Mutsu's mind.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Little Wooden Head's Fighting Power

The warm-colored lights in the entryway are turned on.

The distance from the café [Ahnenerbe] to the apartment in Yokohama wasn't far; I was home by the time the dim evening glow had completely faded from the sky.

Kazami Mei casually opened the iron gate with the rusty apartment key, and Takamatsu Touka, who had been waiting for a long time, cautiously peeked out.

This was only the second time that Takamatsu Akari had visited Kazami Mei's apartment.

The last time I came here was to hold a study session with everyone, but Takamatsu Akari has changed drastically since then, especially in her relationship with Kazami Mei, which is now completely different.

As a girlfriend who has confirmed her feelings for her boyfriend, it's impossible not to feel nervous at all.

"..."

Ruoye Mutsu seemed to sense Takamatsu Akari's unease, but he simply stared calmly at her profile without saying a word.

The moment the iron gate closed, the cat grinned and tried to sneak into the apartment, but before it could even move, he grabbed it by the neck with one hand. Knowing all too well that this little cat couldn't stay still, Kazami Mei said irritably—

"I'm only just starting to prepare now, and it'll be a long time before dinner is ready... Just give me some candy and wait patiently."

"I'm here to help."

Ruo Yemu skillfully lifted the bag full of ingredients. Her slender, fair, and delicate arms seemed a little strained to carry so many ingredients at once.

However, Kazami Mei also knew Xiao Mu's personality very well. In this respect, she had a stubbornness that was completely opposite to her well-behaved appearance. At the very least, she would never just stand by and wait.

"In that case... Mu, you can wash the vegetables for me like you did last time, prepare the seasonings according to the proportions, and then set out the bowls, chopsticks, and plates."

As Xiao Mu nodded expressionlessly, Takamatsu was somewhat at a loss. Unexpectedly, Xiao Mu beside her had already helped Ming, but as his girlfriend, she couldn't do anything.

This caused the little penguin next to him to inexplicably begin to feel anxious.

She has to help too!

Thinking of this, a resolute look flashed in Takamatsu Akari's eyes. She clenched her small fist and pressed it to her chest, speaking quite earnestly: "...I also want to help Naruto, so please feel free to ask me to do whatever you want! No, whatever you ask me to do, I will do my best to complete it!"

Can you really do everything?

In short, let's get Xiaodeng to kiss him a couple of times first—

Will everyone try their best?

Kazami Naru stroked his chin thoughtfully, staring at the constantly blinking little penguin. Suddenly, he realized that it was quite difficult to get the penguin to do something.

In fact, when it comes to cooking, Kazami Mei is completely used to handling all the procedures by herself, and at most she will ask them to help with simple tasks such as washing vegetables and cooking rice.

However, Little Wood is perfectly capable of doing this independently, and the already cramped kitchen can hardly accommodate a third person...

But Xiaodeng's expression was as if she was ready to fight to the death, the kind of expression that would make her go straight through the middle door even if Fengjianming had the little penguin carry the bison to plant the bomb.

Mr. Kazami, who is quite empathetic, would never discourage the little penguin, and at that very moment he came up with a very suitable idea.

So he reached out and picked up the swaying Lena, and said with a very serious look in his eyes, "In that case, I'll leave Lena in your care, Deng."

A very important responsibility!

Perhaps sensing the seriousness in Kazami's words, the little penguin nodded vigorously, "I, I understand!"

The moment the words left her lips, Takamatsu Akari began to stare intently at the cat. Seeing the little penguin's posture, Kazami Mei couldn't help but chuckle and offered a few words of encouragement before giving up.

He then led Ruoye Mu to the kitchen. Before he could even take out the ingredients, the expressionless doll girl beside him reached out and tucked her delicate, smooth, light green hair behind her ear.

"Ming, tie me up."

The girl's voice was like an autumn breeze brushing past her ear, delicate as soft and light cotton.

"...Do you really know what you're saying?"

Looking at the delicate yet calm face of the little wooden girl beside him, Kazami Mei, who could probably understand her thoughts, helplessly pinched her cheek and casually took off his hair tie from his wrist.

Gently, he pulled the slightly blushing Ruoye Mu into his arms and skillfully tied her long, smooth hair, which reached her waist, into a neat high ponytail.

"Is this okay?"

"Um……"

There's always this feeling that she could tie it herself, but she insists on having Kazami Naruto help her.

With some thoughts swirling in her mind, Kazami Mei didn't expose Wakaba Mutsu's little scheme. After gently patting the other's head, she began preparing lunch.

Under the girl's unwavering gaze, Kazami Mei, with a knife in her left hand and an expressionless face, quickly chopped vegetables such as eggplant and cucumber into pieces. Then, with just a light flick of the knife tip, she separated the shrimp meat from its shell as if by magic.

The rice flour is applied evenly to every part of the dough, and the entire process of putting it into the oil is so smooth that it takes less than ten seconds.

"...Ning, your cooking is really amazing."

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

Hearing the little wooden boy's praise beside him, Kazami Mei felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

But Ye Mu was slightly taken aback when she heard this. Then, under Feng Jianming's gaze, she gently nodded her little head. Her usually expressionless, doll-like, delicate face was now slightly lowered, revealing a rare look of disappointment.

Such an obvious change was immediately noticed by Kazami Mei: "Mutsu, what's wrong?"

Wakaba Mutsu actually envies Nagasaki Motoyo.

Nagasaki Motoyo, who has been quite independent since childhood, is skilled in cooking and housework. Even though she dropped out of high school to get married, she was still able to be a perfect full-time housewife. However, Wakaba Mutsumi, who grew up surrounded by housekeepers and maids, is completely different.

She had learned a lot about etiquette and social skills, but she was completely clueless about the skills of being a 'wife'.

"I want to learn how to cook so that when Ming is tired and sleepy... I want to cook dinner for you myself and prepare a bath of the right temperature so that you can rest well; I also want to learn how to wash clothes and clean so that I can sew them back up for you with needle and thread if they are accidentally torn."

“If I haven’t even learned these basics, I’m completely unqualified to be a ‘wife’.”

The usually taciturn Wakaba Mutsu raised his head and stared intently at his face.

When she uttered the word "wife," her usually calm face underwent a noticeable change. A blush of ripe peach gradually spread across her fair face, and her delicate neck, exposed by her ponytail, also turned pink.

"..."

The girl's earnest response caused Kazami Mei's expression to freeze slightly, and she could no longer maintain the calmness she had shown at the beginning.

No way, you're already level 6 after just logging in?

Even Kazami, who has maxed out his resistance, couldn't handle it when Wakaba Mutsu seriously said something like "as a wife." He was completely paralyzed, as if he had been given a full dose of disarming pills.

Logically, he should maintain a calm demeanor in front of the girl, smile and encourage her, sincerely offering his support – that would be the most appropriate approach.

But now his expression was slightly stiff, and the cleaver he was holding in his left hand almost cut his hand.

Knowing full well that he couldn't show any ridiculous reaction at a time like this, he began to regulate his slightly disordered breathing. After barely calming down, he slowly and deliberately spoke—

"It won't be easy to do all this, Mu, so you should study hard and do your best."

Ruoye Mutsu lowered her head, her cheeks flushed. She had naturally noticed that Kazami Mei had been staring at her face.

She was somewhat happy.

Just as Kazami Mei, who had known him for a long time, could instantly sense the emotional fluctuations and awkwardness in Wakaba Mutsuki's heart, Wakaba Mutsuki, who also had strong feelings and dependence on him, would also sense his changes.

Seeing Kazami Mei's reaction proves that he was truly wavering because of him.

Having been the daughter of an entertainer since childhood, Mutsumi Wakaba possesses a strong ability to read people's expressions and demeanor. With her keen mind, she would never have missed Mei's reaction just now.

Most importantly, Ruoye Mu can now roughly guess his current thoughts through his gaze and reactions.

"Ming--"

Unlike her usual self, Wakaba Mutsu gently tugged at Kazemiya's sleeve and naturally took a step closer to him in the cramped kitchen.

Want a kiss?

The moment Jing finished speaking, the air around her seemed to fall silent. The tempura, sizzling with oil, continued to churn in the deep pot, while the clamor of a variety show drifted from the living room not far away.

The water droplets falling into the pool made a soft 'drip, drip' sound.

Wearing an apron, Wakaba Mutsu had already tiptoed slightly, and a faint shyness appeared on her delicate face, which was as calm as still water. It was as if she would gently close her eyes and let him take what he wanted if Kazami Mei just casually said those words.

"..."

Kazami Mei's face remained as firm as a rock.

How could that be? To be honest, he's about to explode.

Even if he can usually remain calm, he is still a teenager in his adolescence. It's absolutely impossible for him not to blush and have his heart race in this situation at this age.

Not to mention that Kazami Mei openly admits that she is actually very 'lecherous'.

Whether it was the close eye contact or the faint, disordered breathing in his ear, every moment turned into an offensive, constantly undermining his rational nerves. Especially considering that he was now Xiao Mutou's girlfriend in a legitimate relationship, no one would gossip even if he kissed her directly.

The issue is--

"stare……"

The white cat, peeking out from the living room, squinted its eyes, watching the two people in the kitchen with great interest.

Your silence is deafening.

"Lena, wait a little longer. You don't want the food to taste bad before it's even finished, do you?"

Upon hearing this, the cat blinked gently. Before she could say anything, the little penguin, who had just realized what was happening, covered her mouth. Takamatsu, looking somewhat flustered, gently grabbed her hand and dragged her away.

The little penguin kept explaining, "No! You can't disturb Ming..."

It wasn't until the two girls not far away returned to the living room that his right hand, which was holding the kitchen knife, gradually regained its steady trembling.

At least it was under the watchful eyes of Ms. Kaname, a middle school student. No matter what, Kazami Mei couldn't do anything intimate in front of the cat.

This cat's learning ability is quite extraordinary. She never forgets a single thing the blue-haired slut taught her, and she will remember anything she sees out of curiosity.

Especially considering that if the cat's parents find out what improper things she's been learning here, they might get so angry that they kick her out of the band, and that would be the end of them.

"..."

Seeing that Wakaba Mutsuya turned away with a blush on her face as if nothing had happened, Kazami Mei, whose heart was inexplicably burning with excitement, sighed silently and began to focus her attention back on the dish in front of her.
