How can my simulation be a real love?

Before he could react, Shiina Ritsuki strode over.

"Stray cat, come here for a bath!"

With her cheeks slightly flushed, Shiina Ritsuki grabbed the cat's collar with one hand and tried to pull her away from Kazami Mei under her rather displeased gaze.

"……don't want."

But this time, the stray cat stubbornly narrowed its heterochromatic golden and silver eyes, just like a cat that had found its home and refused to let go.

Seeing the cats openly inhaling Kazami Naruto's scent, Aine, who was already feeling a bit restless, quickly moved closer and rubbed against him. She even raised her head with a righteous air—

"Rikki is right! Rakuna-chan, go take a shower! I'll cover you here!"

"What are you trying to block? Why don't you help me out a bit?!"

……

While the girls were making a ruckus, Nagasaki Motoyo and Wakaba Mutsu had already boarded the elevator.

The elevator was empty, with only the two of them inside.

Nagasaki Motoyo stood calmly in front, gently playing with her curly hair, while Wakaba Mutsumi stood behind her with her head slightly lowered. The quiet and silent air gave people a sense of oppressive discomfort, and the only sound was the operation of the elevator.

Neither side spoke first.

Perhaps sensing that Wakaba Mutsu was still watching her from behind, Nagasaki Motoyo, staring at the elevator door, let out a long, soft sigh. Without turning her head, she coldly said, "While I don't know if Mutsu's feelings for Naruto are 'love' or something else, I'm absolutely certain—"

"I was serious."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wakaba Mutsu, who had been silent for a long time.

The slender index finger that had been playing with the slightly curled brown hair stiffened slightly, and a faint, strange light flashed across the girl's face as she narrowed her azure eyes. She seemed to deliberately draw out her words to influence Ruoye Mutsu's thoughts—

"Then let's assume that Muko really likes Naruto too. But Muko must also know... that my love for Naruto is absolutely genuine, without a single lie, right?"

"..."

Ruoye Mu was silent.

“I like him very, very, very much and want to be with him all the time... so there is no way I would do anything bad to him.”

"Hey? Xiao Mu, you should understand how I feel, right? I just want to take our relationship to the next level as his girlfriend, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

"But Xiao Mu, you keep coming to stop me. Why are you targeting only me?"

The drawn-out, gentle tone instantly transformed into icy words devoid of warmth. Nagasaki Motoyo, turning her head slightly, seemed to be trying to discern something from Wakaba Mutsumi's face.

But the 'doll' never revealed anything; it simply stared back at her calmly.

After a moment's hesitation, Ruo Yemu slowly spoke—

"I'm not targeting Su Shi, it's just that Su Shi is doing something wrong."

"What did I do wrong!?"

Nagasaki Motoyo's tone suddenly became sharp, but after realizing that her attitude seemed a bit too intense, she quickly returned to her usual gentle and delicate state.

The girl looked a little aggrieved and said softly, "I just want to be with Ming. Of course, I wouldn't force him if he didn't want to."

"That's not what I meant."

The doll-like girl, whose expression remained unchanged, responded softly. This 'unclear' statement immediately eased the aggrieved look on Nagasaki Motoyo's face. She slightly furrowed her brows, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. But at this moment, both sides fell into an eerie silence.

Ding!

Before they knew it, the elevator in the building had arrived at the first floor. As the elevator doors opened, Wakaba Mutsumi brushed past Nagasaki Motoyo with an expressionless face. When she turned around, the two finally saw the expressions on each other's faces.

The doll girl's golden eyes were fixed on the changes in her expression, never wavering for a moment.

It was as if those eyes had already seen through everything.

"If Su Shi did something wrong."

"Ming, you'll be sad."

As Wakaba Mutsumi finished speaking, the elevator doors closed again.

Only Nagasaki Motoyo remained standing in the elevator. The calm movements she had just made while playing with her curls had become stiff. The girl's beautiful face seemed somewhat surprised, and her eyes began to show an indescribable panic.

Could it be that Mu has already discovered something?

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Motoyo's already somewhat agitated emotions gradually became more and more restless. The girl, whose mood was quite complicated, took a deep breath to calm herself down, but the stuffy air in the elevator made her breathing a little disordered, as if the words that Wakaba Mutsu had just said were still echoing in her ears.

To put it bluntly, she's starting to panic.

"……no."

Nagasaki Motoyo was gripping her left upper arm tightly with her right hand. Her slightly pale fingertips and trembling shoulders seemed to subtly reveal the turbulent emotions in her heart.

It's not enough now, it's simply not enough.

Now that Ruoye Mu has left, the biggest obstacle is gone. So the only girlfriends left with 'identity' are Xiaodeng and Choufenmao. Xiaodeng, who never takes the initiative, is no threat. Only Choufenmao, who is obsessed with cheating, is a bit dangerous.

Lenai just needs to wait until she falls asleep; as for Lixi, her tsundere nature poses the least threat.

She has to take action tonight, no matter what.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Su Shizhen is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing!

By the time all the girls had finished their baths, it was already 10 p.m.

Even if the training results were not satisfactory, it was naturally impossible for everyone to continue training at such a late hour.

"We have to get up early tomorrow morning; this is the last practice session before going on stage!"

Shiina Tatsuki, with her arms crossed over her chest, frowned and adopted a very serious posture, while Chihaya Aine, upon hearing these words, showed a rather disappointed expression.

She even took out board games and playing cards from her bag and shook them vigorously, saying, "Hey! I brought a lot of board games for this training camp!"

"Aren't we playing tonight? Let's all play Monopoly!"

Seeing that Chihaya Aine still had that silly expression, Shiina Tatsuki, whose lips twitched slightly, said coldly and irritably, "We're not playing tomorrow night either. This training camp isn't for fun!"

"Why don't you put all that energy into practice? Tonight's training still isn't going well! What if you mess it up again when you go on stage?"

Upon hearing the word 'mess up,' Chihaya Aine was momentarily speechless. However, her strength lay in shamelessly steer the conversation towards her own advantage, and she spoke with a pitiful tone—

"I'll practice hard and I definitely won't mess it up! So let's just have some fun tonight!"

"At least, at least we should play the pillow toss game! What do you think, Mingming?!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Chihaya Aine saw that Shiina Tatsuki was unmoved by her words, so she could only turn her gaze to Kazami Mei beside her.

If her boyfriend were to say a few words, he might be able to change Rikki's mind. After all, the seemingly fierce Shiina actually respects Kazami Naru's ideas.

But how could Kazami Mei not know Aine's thoughts? She just rolled her eyes and casually said, "This training camp's schedule will be based on Shiina's ideas, right? I'm already getting ready to go back to my room to sleep."

"You guys should all be mindful of yourselves. If you're going to play, don't stay out too late."

"Well, since everyone's getting ready to sleep... I'll go to sleep too."

Seeing that both Kazami Mei and Takamatsu Akari had 'betrayed' her, leaving Aine suddenly all alone, her eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed, "Eh?! Even Akari is going to sleep?!"

"I'm going to sleep now; staying up late is bad for your health."

Nagasaki Motoyo, who was playing with his fingers, spoke in a calm and indifferent voice.

She had already changed into a light nightgown that accentuated her figure. As someone who "doesn't stay up late," she pretended to be tired, pulled back the covers, and lay down in bed. In the blink of an eye, several girls were already lying down.

Seeing that no one around her was on her side, even the resentful Aine could only give up.

However, Miss Aine's journey is not over yet!

Chihaya Aine, covered by a blanket, poked out half of her pink head. Her beautiful silver-gray eyes quickly glanced at Nagasaki Motoyo not far away, and then quietly stared at Kazami Naru, who was turning off the lights and preparing to go upstairs.

The thrill of the moment made her heart beat several beats faster!

Next, is the main event.

Kazami Mei naturally had no idea what was going on in that pink-haired little head. After returning to his room, he closed his eyes and looked at the simulator panel that he hadn't paid attention to for a while.

Perhaps because he had been in too much contact with his girlfriends lately, plus the daily kissing with the little penguin, the number of times this [Royal Romance Simulator] could be simulated had unknowingly reached an astonishing number never seen before.

"However, the simulated object remains completely unchanged..."

Kazami Mei looked at the panel and saw those familiar names again.

So far, he has simulated almost every object that can be simulated once. Now, the only object that has not been formally simulated is 'Toyokawa Shoko'. At the same time, the addition of simulation objects has stopped here.

If we want to add more simulation subjects, does that mean we have to simulate Teacher Da Xiang as well?

"...If it's a simulation of the super cute Xiao Xiang, it would probably be the easiest one so far, right?"

In other people's simulations, he often accidentally veers into the [Toyokawa Shoko route], so wouldn't it be easy to enter the Shoko route from the very beginning? In reality, Shoko probably also has feelings for him that go beyond friendship, and as long as this feeling is completely transformed, it means that the simulation will be a success.

However, even Kazami Mei, who had conducted several simulations, dared not make any wild claims that Toyokawa Shoko's simulation would go so smoothly—

After all, his 'interpersonal relationships' in reality are already extremely complicated, and given the nature and traps of this broken simulator, he could probably guess that the simulation wouldn't be easy.

Just as Kazami Mei was considering whether to start the simulation now, her phone, which had been off, suddenly beeped with a crisp text message notification. Snapping out of her thoughts, Kazami Mei opened her email without hesitation.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the email was about the upcoming exhibition of Japanese young artists in the Shimokitazawa area.

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow, muttering with a hint of surprise, "I thought it would have to wait until next month, I didn't expect it to start so quickly?"

If this exhibition goes well, he will officially debut as an artist.

Regardless, he had to demonstrate his 'ability'. Since he had decided to achieve such an absurd goal as 'building a harem,' he needed to possess the corresponding strength and temperament.

As long as one can stand at the forefront of a certain field, then one can be said to have one's own "voice".

Kazami Mei lay flat on the bed with her eyes closed, taking slow, deep breaths. Unconsciously, her breathing became increasingly steady.

……

One o'clock.

Nagasaki Motoyo, who was lying on the outermost side of the group of girls, suddenly opened her calm, beautiful eyes. She slowly sat up and looked up at the sleeping girls beside her, a sly smile involuntarily appearing on her lips.

Without the slightest hesitation, Nagasaki Motoyo, upon waking, quietly sat up from the bed and left the living room with the slightest movement, so lightly that she did not disturb anyone.

"..."

The reason why we have to do this is actually quite simple—

As a 'wife' who truly looks at her husband, Nagasaki Motoyo's desire to take their relationship a step further is a pure, instinctive reaction. At the same time, Ms. Motoyo, who has a strong possessive nature, naturally finds it difficult to tolerate his love being 'divided' away.

She wanted to take this opportunity to secure an absolute place in Kazami's heart.

Nagasaki Motoyo could barely pretend not to see her husband's occasional 'cheating,' but no matter what, she wanted to possess ninety percent of Naruto's love and wanted him to focus solely on her.

Da da da……

Light footsteps came from the wooden steps. A girl wearing a light blue lace-trimmed nightgown quietly tidied her messy bangs. She blushed a little at the thought of what she was going to 'do' later.

No matter how cunning she is, she will feel nervous and shy uncontrollably in this situation.

But compared to this insignificant 'nervousness', Nagasaki Motoyo felt an overwhelming 'anticipation'.

[Ming, you'll be sad.]

Nagasaki Motoyo paused slightly as she walked up the stairs, her mind suddenly replaying her conversation with Wakaba Mutsumi in the elevator. Even now, the other man's calm, still eyes made her heart tighten slightly.

But then Nagasaki Motoyo shook her head vigorously, trying to clear her mind of all these chaotic thoughts.

Now that things have come to this point, she has no choice but to stand down.

Having made up her mind, Suze had unknowingly arrived at the door of Kazami Naruto's room. Suze, who usually showed a cold expression in front of others, was now pursing her cherry lips, and her face was burning hot, even without looking at it.

Nagasaki Motoyo skillfully took out her key from her pocket, but her fingers suddenly froze as she was about to open the door.

The door wasn't locked?

Seemingly completely unprepared for this, the girl was visibly stunned.

Feeling a little nervous, she swallowed hard and gently pushed open the wooden door. After entering, she pressed her entire body against the inside of the door and nervously looked towards the bedside without turning her head.

Such a smooth and silky movement seemed to be something that could only be achieved after practicing hundreds of times. Nagasaki Motoyo, her face burning hot, slowly walked over, but just as she touched the edge of the bed, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Before she could react, she was pulled into a familiar and warm embrace.

"Speak, what are you planning to do?"

Kazami Mei, who had already sat up at some point, gently raised her eyebrows and looked meaningfully at the dazed Su Shi in her arms.
