How can my simulation be a real love?

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment flashed across Kazami Mei's eyes.

The moment he realized that Su Shi had decided to 'bite' him to death, he looked at Shiina directly opposite him with a gaze that was hard for others to notice. Shiina Riki, who was equally perceptive, blushed slightly as if she remembered something when he stared at her like that.

Quack! Miss Lixi, save my teeth!

Shiina Tatsuki, her pretty face slightly flushed, naturally understood Kazami Mei's gaze. Feeling a little uneasy, she coughed lightly and spoke casually—

"I also think it's not a good idea to have Kazami sleep with us, and it would be too crowded with so many people sleeping together, wouldn't it?"

Shiina Riki's words did not sway Nagasaki Motoyo in the slightest. A barely perceptible smile flashed in her slightly narrowed, azure eyes as the girl gently lifted her smooth chin with her interlocked fingers.

Her gentle and elegant demeanor, reminiscent of a Yamato Nadeshiko, was fully revealed to everyone at this moment.

"In that case, why don't you all come to my house?"

“My mom has been working overtime for a while and won’t be home for a while. Luckily, we have quite a few extra rooms in our house… If Ming sleeps in a room by himself, there won’t be any problem at all, right?”

That way, we won't be disturbed, right?

Since she's decided to launch an offensive, Miss Su Shi must have come prepared. In her view, any offensive that can't achieve any real effect is an "ineffective attack."

Just like a cheetah's explosive burst of speed to take down its prey, you have to deliver a fatal blow to achieve the 'victory' you desire!

"Huh? Is it something like taking a bath..."

Shy Shiina's breath trembled slightly as she kept recalling what Hachiman Kairin had said.

If she could keep a certain distance from Kazami, she could barely suppress her emotions. But if she accidentally got too close to him or ended up alone with him, Shiina Ritsuki herself couldn't say for sure that she would remain indifferent.

After all, even a simple "confession" from Kazami Narumi would make her head spin, so if this idiot were to say something cheesy to her again...

Seeing Li Xi's expression, Miss Su Shi sighed helplessly. Then, she resumed her expressionless demeanor, raised her right hand, and proposed to the crowd, "In that case, let's have a fair and just 'vote.' Raise your hand if you agree to let Ming come to the training camp?"

"I! I! I strongly support Soyorin's idea!"

The first to raise their hand in agreement was none other than the pink-haired girl who was most at odds with Nagasaki Motoyo.

As the "official girlfriend," Miss Aine had no reason to refuse such a thing, and her crystal-clear eyes shone with excitement.

Seeing this, Shiina Tatsuki's lips twitched slightly as she replied, "I already said this isn't a good idea, right? I still am..."

Before Shiina Tatsuki could even finish speaking, Takamatsu Akari, sitting next to her, frowned and said, "I... I also think it would be better if Meichi came along!"

“Even if I don’t perform this time… Ke Ming is an important member of ‘Mygo!!!!!!!!!!’, an absolutely indispensable part… So, I don’t want us to be separated…”

Kazami Mei looked at the little penguin with its head down and a worried look in its eyes, and just took a slow, deep breath.

Now they had no choice but to raise the white flag and surrender.

The little penguin's reaction made Shiina Tatsuki, who had initially opposed the idea, frown slightly. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she spoke with mixed feelings—

"...I still disagree."

My thoughts are so jumbled.

Shiina Tatsuki dared not get any closer to that guy now. Every time she came into contact with him, her feelings would boil over. If she continued to suppress them like this, she was really afraid that she would lose control.

“Interesting~”

Miss Lena, who was sitting next to her, was a typical person who loved watching the fun. After seeing the little penguin's reaction, she also raised her little hand, and in the blink of an eye, the score became an exaggerated crushing defeat.

"Now it's four to two!"

Nagasaki Motoyo gently clasped her hands together, revealing a confident expression; the excitement in her heart was almost tangible.

No, I can't laugh, I have to hold it in. But all the problems that were in the way have been solved, and at this rate, achieving my goal is only a matter of time.

Just as Miss Su Shi was about to make her final judgment, the stray cat, who had been obediently eating its matcha parfait, suddenly moved.

"I want to sleep with Ming."

The cat that was sitting next to Riki suddenly came over and quickly sat on Kazami Naru's lap under the strange looks of Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo, and then quite skillfully reached out and hugged his neck.

"Wildcat, what are you doing?! Get off Kazami right now!"

"Didn't I tell you before that you couldn't do that?"

Shiina Riki, whose face instantly turned bright red, immediately stood up, but her 'intimidation' seemed to have no effect. Rakuna just squinted and snuggled closer to Kazami Naruto.

"why?"

Miss Lena just shook her head, showing no intention of getting off him.

"I've already said no, and that's final. Can't you understand something this simple?!"

"Rikki, do you want to sleep with Naruto?"

"...Huh?! Why would I sleep with him?!"

Shiina Riki's beautiful face was already flushed with a burning red. She gritted her teeth and continued to scold the stray cat, seemingly embarrassed and angry. But the cat, enjoying its embrace, paid no attention to her.

"unfair!"

"I'm clearly Mingming's official girlfriend... Even if Mingming gets to hold me, it should be me! Rakuna-chan, get up and give me your spot!"

Of course, Chihaya Aine, filled with envy and jealousy, couldn't just stand by and watch. She quickly snuggled up to Kazami Mei like a big pink dog, but to the vegetarians, her behavior was nothing short of a direct provocation.

"What are you talking about, Aine-chan? What does 'official girlfriend' mean? Could you please explain?"

Nagasaki Motoyo seemed to maintain her usual 'motherly' gentleness, but her smiling, squinting eyes sent chills down one's spine, and her affectedly sweet words made the pink-haired girl tremble all over.

But in this one aspect, Chihaya Aine would never show weakness.

"Hmph! I had already fallen for Mingming long before someone else, but I never expected that shameless vixen would take advantage of me when I wasn't paying attention, and afterwards she even acted like she was the one who came first."

"He only got a little charity because he couldn't bear to do it, I didn't expect him to be so smug about it~?"

"Huh?! What did you say?!"

In the blink of an eye, the girls on either side of Kazami Naru started arguing, and Shiina Riki, not far away, was also scolding the cat that was still lying on him, leaving only the little penguin sitting there looking completely bewildered.

"Hey, everyone, please don't fight..."

Haha, the band members are so united!

Looking at the chaotic scene around him, Kazami Mei felt completely overwhelmed. He gently rubbed his temples, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and spoke with a subtle expression—

"Stop arguing. Anyway, on the day of the training camp, I'll find a room on the second floor. Everyone else has to stay together and sleep quietly. No one is allowed to come up here. Is that alright?"

Although the location of this training camp is Nagasaki Motoyo's luxurious house, Motoyo wouldn't be so lustful towards him at a time like this, would she?

At least the other girls from Mygo were also in the house, and since several girls were in the same place this time, even Miss Suze would probably know to behave herself.

"...Then it's settled."

Seeing that Kazami Naru had compromised, Nagasaki Motoyo temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction and, as if worried that he might change his mind later, smiled and settled the matter.

"Huh! Why?!"

Sitting next to her, Chihaya Aine practically had her 'unhappy' written all over her face. Even though she was now Meimei's supreme girlfriend, why couldn't she go upstairs?!

"No reason!"

Kazami Mei pinched the pink-haired creature's nose with a hint of annoyance, only slowly releasing her hand when the creature begged for mercy in a coquettish manner.

But it seems no one noticed the cunning glint in Nagasaki Motoyo's beautiful light blue eyes.

……

Toyokawa Shoko is always very anxious.

Thanks to her and Kazami Mei's efforts, Ave Mujica has officially debuted as a professional band.

The band's growing popularity over time will become her capital for monetization, but logically, this increasingly positive situation should gradually reduce the pressure and burden on her shoulders...

But Toyokawa Shoko's anxiety grew day by day.

As the 'team leader,' Toyokawa Shoko, who always maintained an air of authority, said calmly with a blank expression, "Well then, that concludes today's practice."

Even though she is no longer the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, she still maintains her innate dignity and awe-inspiring demeanor. Even a simple glance back can bring an unimaginable sense of pressure to ordinary people.

Her slender fingers gently traced the black and white keys of the 'Roland' electronic keyboard in front of her, the softness in her eyes vanishing in an instant.

"Before the next practice session, everyone go back and practice the piece until you are completely familiar with it."

"There isn't much time to prepare for Ave Mujica's next performance, and I hope that we can have a perfect rehearsal after the next practice session."

The blue-haired girl with twin tails spoke with a cold expression, and before anyone else could react, she had already picked up her bag.

Toyokawa Shoko's obvious move to leave made Miss Meowmon, who was panting from playing the drums, widen her eyes. Teacher Meow, still holding the drumsticks, immediately said with some displeasure—

"Xiangzi, wait a minute!"

"We didn't have a celebration party after the last live performance! Let's take this opportunity to go out for dinner together~"

"I have other things to do next, you guys can go eat by yourselves."

Without even turning her head, Toyokawa Shoko walked out of the rented recording studio with a shoulder bag on her back, leaving behind those words without a trace of emotion.

A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of Misaki Hatsuka, who was standing in front of Wakaba Mutsu. Just as she was about to go and say a few words to Toyokawa Shoko, a small, cold hand suddenly grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"..."

A delicate face, devoid of any emotion, appeared before her. The doll-like girl merely grabbed the hem of her clothes without saying a word.

If Ye Mu's attitude was already very clear, then Misaka Chuka, who had already taken a step forward, slowly pulled back, and the blonde girl could only hold a bottle of 'Creamy Oolong Tea' to her chest.

Her elegant and noble purple eyes, like those of lavender, quietly watched Toyokawa Shoko's departing figure.

Da da da……

A series of crisp footsteps echoed beneath her feet; before she knew it, Toyokawa Shoko was already walking on that familiar commercial street.

Recalling the look in Mikazuki's eyes during their practice, the girl gripped her shoulder bag even tighter, but then gently released it as if giving up.

Even though Toyokawa Shoko's feelings were complicated at that moment, she still stubbornly raised her head without fear.

In fact, she had already regretted it long ago—

When she realized that Mitsumi Hatsuka had 'deceived' her about also liking Kazami Naru, she was provoked by Nagasaki Motoyo and became somewhat out of control. She immediately showed her sharp, hedgehog-like side to her, but she knew that she shouldn't have said such harsh words.

She should have apologized to Chu Hua, but Xiangzi's pride prevented her from doing so.

"After all, it's Ming. It's normal for Chu Hua to fall for him."

"But no matter what, I don't want to give him up..."

With a bitter feeling in her heart, Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath.

As she was trying to adjust her mindset, she happened to pass by a very familiar shop. The familiar words "Chai Dajiang Ramen" on the signboard were quite eye-catching, which made her stop involuntarily, even though she was about to leave quickly.

This ramen restaurant was the first place Ming and she ate together.

The moment she saw this shop, a flood of memories that belonged only to her surged into her mind—

The black-haired boy, sitting under the warm light, held his chopsticks and teased her with great interest. Although she was embarrassed and annoyed by his teasing, she was genuinely happy. Even now, she still remembers the delicious taste and warmth of that time.

"...Anyway, I didn't have lunch."

As if she had found a suitable reason for herself, Toyokawa Shoko finally stepped into the store.

"Welcome~ Uh—"

The enthusiastic shop assistant greeted her as usual, but her expression froze instantly when she saw Toyokawa Shoko's familiar face.

After all, in a sense, the other party was a 'regular customer' of this store, and most importantly, she always managed to come up with something different every time she appeared.

The blonde, braided shop assistant subconsciously looked behind Toyokawa Shoko, and her expression became even stranger when she saw that there was no 'familiar figure'.

Perhaps sensing the shop assistant's confusion, Toyokawa Shoko gently furrowed her delicate brows and spoke to her—

"Hello? Please take me to the innermost seat."

"Huh? Oh, okay, okay... Oh no, I mean the inner side..."

The blonde girl, barely regaining her senses, instinctively responded, but when she realized what she had done, her cute face began to contort.

Seeing her incoherent and flustered expression, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but in the blink of an eye, a strange light appeared in her eyes.

Perhaps thinking of something, Toyokawa Shoko strode directly toward the familiar booth.

Toyokawa Shoko peeked her light blue head out from the original-colored wooden partition of the booth, full of anticipation, but instead met a pair of timid, deep blue eyes.

"Eh?"

The two people sitting in the inner booths were a pink-haired girl with her head down and looking timid, and a red-haired girl whose powerful 'sunshine' energy could be felt even from a short distance away.

The moment Toyokawa Shoko walked over, the two women naturally noticed each other, and their eyes simultaneously revealed a look of considerable surprise.
