How can my simulation be a real love?

Even Kazami Mei, who was 'listening', was somewhat stunned by Ijichi Nijika's sudden remark.

Originally, I just intended to tease the cute angel girl casually as usual, but I didn't expect that this gentle little angel, as gentle as the sun, would suddenly throw out such words that were tantamount to a confession.

That's right, it's like a confession.

To be honest, Miss Hongxia's words were quite hurtful.

Kazami Mei, his expression completely frozen, seemed about to say something, but before he could even open his mouth, the blonde girl in front of him, her face flushed red, immediately leaned close, wisps of white smoke rising from her head as she frantically explained:

"I...I...I didn't mean anything else! Actually, it's just...I just wanted to agree with what Ming said."

This explanation, even if he didn't misunderstand before, should lead him to misunderstand now.

Miss Hongxia blushed; she must like me.

"I understand, I understand, don't worry."

Let me rush first.

Because Nijika's blushing face had an indescribable cute charm, Kazami-san, who was originally planning to continue comforting her, couldn't help but shut up and take a few more glances.

Just then, Kazami Mei felt a chill run down his spine. Realizing this, he immediately looked in a certain direction, and as soon as he turned around, he met the gaze of Iji Tomoka, who was holding a juice in the distance.

The other party seemed to have been secretly observing the situation from the very beginning. Their sharp eyes made one's hair stand on end. Even if one couldn't hear the two talking, Miss Xingge could roughly guess what was going on from Hongxia's expression.

Oh no, does Xingge think he's planning to play with Hongxia's feelings?

This super-sized tsundere sister complex is no joke; Kazami Naruto feels like she could actually punch him in the face with a cold expression.

"Xiaodeng and Aine-chan should be getting ready for their performance soon, right? Naru-san, hurry over and check on them!"

When her head was about to burn, Ichiji Nijika couldn't help but reach out her small hand and push Kazami Mei's waist. While explaining, she buried her face like an ostrich, as if she was worried that he would see her 'embarrassing' appearance.

"But……"

"Anyway, hurry up and go!"

The somewhat impatient blonde girl blushed and pushed Kazami Mei towards the preparation room. Only after he left helplessly did she hurriedly cover her burning face with her two small hands.

She accidentally blurted out her true feelings, but luckily she managed to gloss over it.

But what's wrong with her lately?

Could it be that her friend Yamada Ryo's strange remarks had given her a glimmer of 'hope'? Even if she was just one of the many girls he liked, would she still feel 'expectation' and 'joy' because of it?

"It's all Ryo's fault, that idiot..."

"why?"

The sudden, bland words from the other side startled Ichiji Nijika, who turned around to find a certain scumbag woman, her best friend, standing behind her.

Holding a broom, Yamada Ryo tilted his head and stared expressionlessly at Iji Chi Niji Natsu's delicate, flushed face, which made the already guilty angel girl quickly turn her head away to try to hide it.

"...I didn't say anything. Have all the flyers been handed out by Ryo already?"

"Yes, that's just finished."

Yamada Ryo stared meaningfully at the face of her close friend beside her. With her exceptional hearing, she couldn't possibly have misheard. In the eyes of her long-time friend, Nijika's flustered attempts to cover something up were nothing short of self-deception.

Perhaps having noticed Mygo and the others entering the preparation room earlier, Ms. Liang, with her eyes narrowed, casually asked, "Is Mygo going to perform on stage later?"

"That's right! They'll probably be on stage in about fifteen minutes, right? I heard that Xiaodeng and Aine have put in a lot of effort for this live performance, and they've even practiced the song they played at the cultural festival last time."

"But Mei still won't go on stage like before~ Maybe it's because Aine and the others also want to get revenge?"

With her hands behind her back, Ichiji Nijika gently raised her head, and a few words of sighing escaped her lips.

However, her seemingly casual words caused a slight change in Yamada Ryo's aloof and indifferent expression. In the blink of an eye, the blue-haired girl's golden eyes, which were as cold as ice, narrowed slightly, exuding a chilling aura like the flickering flame of a candle on an iceberg.

The usually composed ice beauty suddenly showed an unusual change, and her close friend, Ichiji Nijika, naturally noticed this subtle change.

Before she could even ask, Yamada Ryo, his face expressionless, preemptively asked, "Nijika, where is Mei now?"

"Huh? Naruto should be on his way to the preparation room right now, right? Ryo, why are you asking this... Hey, wait a minute—"

Seeing Yamada Ryo put down the broom and turn to walk towards the preparation room, Ijichi Nijika, who was very familiar with this friend, instinctively sensed something was amiss. A strange premonition made her subconsciously grab the other person's hand.

Perhaps it was this mysterious 'premonition' at work, but after Ichiji Nijika grabbed the other person in time, she hurriedly asked with concern, "Ryo, what are you planning to do by suddenly looking for Mei?"

"he."

Yijizhi Hongxia:?

Completely stunned by those words, Ijichi Nijika subconsciously let go of his hand. Yamada Ryo, who was expressionless, was about to take another step when she was immediately pulled back. Turning around, she and Nijika looked at each other in a rather strange way.

"Wait, wait, wait!! What do you mean by that? Ryo, what are you planning to do to Naruto?!"

With her ears flushed slightly, she vaguely sensed that what Liang was saying was definitely not 'proper,' and in order to prevent things from getting out of control, she certainly couldn't just let him go like that.

"..."

A strange glint flashed in Yamada Ryo's eyes, and her expression, with her brows furrowed, seemed somewhat subtle.

As her 'best friend,' Ichiji Nijika naturally knew a lot about her situation and understood what kind of feelings Yamada Ryo had for Kazami Mei. Moreover, she had also blown up everyone around her during their 'private' conversation after the band ended last time.

At that time, Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo almost simultaneously confessed that they had developed feelings for Kazami Mei, which was quite a shock to Nijika, who was just "seeing through it but not saying it".

However, once she calmed down, Ichiji Nijika knew that this matter had to be handled seriously.

Ms. Yamada, who has never liked anyone since childhood, is an eccentric whose thinking is different from ordinary people. She is also extremely self-centered and may act on her thoughts without hesitation.

Therefore, it's sometimes impossible to predict what Miss Liang will do.

Yamada Ryo gave a thumbs up and said coldly as if it were a matter of course, "...I must get what I set my sights on."

"Where did you come from, you fat tiger?!"

Unable to resist complaining loudly, Hongxia was even less likely to let go of this despicable woman, and instead held her tightly.

Just thinking about how Ryo, that idiot, might impulsively do something, makes it impossible for her friend, Ichi Nijika, to see her go down the path of crime. It's definitely not because she has other thoughts in her mind!

Seeing that she seemed to be firmly held by Iji Chinika, whose face was flushed, and knowing that there was no way to escape, Yamada Ryo narrowed her beautiful golden eyes slightly, and the strands of azure hair covering her right eye swayed gently with her movements.

After a moment of silence, Yamada Ryo gazed at the girl whose face was as red as flower petals, and then slowly and softly said, "Nijika, you like him too, don't you?"

A flustered look crossed her face, and Ichiji Nijika instinctively looked away, but she still managed a natural smile as she replied, "I...I didn't have those kinds of thoughts at all. I've always considered Mei a friend..."

This is a lie.

Having known each other for a long time, the two have an extremely thorough understanding of each other's personalities.

As a close friend, Ijichi Nijika already knew what kind of person Yamada Ryo was. At the same time, Yamada Ryo was also very clear about the feelings that Ijichi Nijika had buried deep in her heart, because no matter what, it was impossible to hide them from someone who knew her so well.

Not to mention that Hongxia in the [dream] had already completely revealed her emotions.

Like an angel, kind and gentle Hongxia never wanted to argue with others. After realizing that her best friend had fallen for the same person as her, she didn't want to affect their friendship, but in the end, she chose to give up her own happiness. She spent her whole life struggling to see happiness but never being able to have it.

This also caused Yamada Ryo in the 'dream' to be bound by guilt.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Yamada Ryo slowly turned around, raised his eyes expressionlessly to look at his closest friend in front of him, and after a moment of silence, simply shook his head.

She, who usually remained composed in the face of anything, unusually revealed a hint of helplessness that was visible to the naked eye this time. Under the questioning gaze of Ichiji Nijika, she calmly spoke—

“...If it's Hongxia, I can make concessions.”

"Eh?"

The girl stood there, stunned.

……

Hongxia is indeed an angel.

As Kazami Mei walked into the preparation room, he still firmly believed that whether in simulation or in reality, he had an indescribable feeling when facing Nijika.

It seems that no matter what she asks of someone, no matter how 'outrageous' it may be, she will verbally scold them but actually agree gently.

I almost confessed my feelings to her just now.

However, for Kazami Mei, something as important as 'confessing' should definitely be reserved for a more important and formal moment. Even if she plans to tell Iji Chi Nijika about it, she still needs to find a suitable opportunity.

Although Kazami Mei's carefully prepared confessions always run into problems for various reasons.

It seems that the only time he meticulously prepared a confession and succeeded was in Miss Angel Rainbow Summer's simulation.

"Mingming! Look, look! I look great in this outfit, don't I?"

Standing in front of her, Chihaya Aine raised her pink head like a proud white swan, and quite pleased with herself, she turned around lightly in front of Kazami Mei.

The delicate lace-trimmed performance costume looked exquisite on her, and the vitality and charm of a young girl blossomed beautifully before our eyes.

Even though he was inwardly amazed by her charm, Kazami Mei maintained a composed demeanor in her response.

"Are you wearing panties?"

"How could I not wear it? Besides, Mingming, you didn't even compliment me on how cute I look!"

The pink-haired girl, blushing and puffing out her cheeks, approached Kazami Naruto with considerable dissatisfaction, as if she wanted him to take a closer look at her meticulously designed performance costume.

But this annoying, arrogant boyfriend only said "cute" twice, and his gaze immediately moved towards the light.

The little penguin wasn't wearing a similar lace-trimmed skirt. Instead, she opted for a combination of shorts and black stockings, which would suit a shirt and tie. The large beret on her head accentuated her retro and artistic style, making her even more adorable with her naturally cute demeanor.

"The lamp is dressed very well."

Kazami Mei didn't offer any comment, but simply gave a thumbs up.

"That's not fair! That's not fair! Why does Mingming treat the lamp differently? Is she targeting me?!"

"You should really think about the reasons behind your actions."

Shiina Ritsuki, the pink-haired girl who was still throwing a tantrum and acting cute not far away, twitched at the corner of her mouth.

Nagasaki Motoyo, seemingly unfazed, began to kick him while he was down: "She's just not charming."

Already annoyed by this idiot, and having been teased by her both this morning and last night, Miss Lixi is now showing no mercy when confronting this pink-haired girl, once again joining forces with the expressionless Miss Su Shi.

"Why?!"

Chihaya Aine opened her crystal-like gray eyes wide and scanned her surroundings, her expression freezing strangely.

She suddenly noticed the strength of the girls around her beyond their 'front armor', especially Nagasaki Motoyo, with whom she had taken a bath a couple of days ago. Motoyo's voluptuous figure had greatly shocked her, as a fellow high school girl.

Foul, such a foul!

Especially when Kazami Mei's gaze was instantly drawn to Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki, Aine's chubby cheeks almost burst. Quite dissatisfied, she simply moved closer to Kazami Mei, feigning tears, and cried out—

"Mingming, look at me again?"

Kazami Mei, who was only teasing her in the first place, naturally didn't hold back his praise. And since Aine had dressed up so beautifully, she naturally cared about her boyfriend's opinion of her.

So Kazami gently pinched her cheek and commented quite seriously, "Miss Aine is super cute too."

"Hehe, then I want a kiss~"

You naturally horny pink-haired brat, you're really pushing your luck!

Before Kazami Mei could even speak, Shiina Ritsuki, who was standing not far away with her arms crossed, couldn't hold back any longer. Unable to bear seeing this pink-haired girl being affectionate in front of her, Ritsuki immediately put on a cold, sour face and reprimanded her in a very displeased tone—

"We're about to go on stage, can you please be a little more careful?"

"...Rikki, are you perhaps envious?"

"Who cares about you!"

Looking at the pink-haired girl's smug expression, Shiina Tatsuki felt all the heat in her body gather in her head. If red heat could provide energy, she could probably pilot Barbatos right now.

The two, who were so restless that they started making noise, did not attract Nagasaki Motoyo's attention. She simply glanced at them expressionlessly, her slender fingers delicately playing with the slightly curled long hair by her ear.

"Can we not stop them?"

Kazami Mei simply shrugged and responded nonchalantly, "This is probably a necessary part of band communication, and I don't think there's any need to stop it."

"Really? I haven't seen Mr. Kazami talk to me much."

A faint hint of unease and jealousy seemed to drift over on the wind. Su Shi's seemingly indifferent words, though her face was as cold as frost, revealed a slight chill. It should be noted that among her three girlfriends, Kazami Mei had not praised her. Even though Su Shi thought she didn't care, she was still somewhat dissatisfied.

"Does communicating with Mrs. Kazami even require words?"

Kazami Mei's casual response made Suze blush, and then she pretended to be disgusted and pouted, saying, "Smooth talker..."

The easiest woman to get on Mygo (JPG).

A smile unconsciously crept onto the girl's lips. Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention, she secretly leaned close to her husband's ear and whispered something as if gently biting his earlobe—

"Mr. Kazami was actually peeking at me 'this way' just now, right? Then next time, I'll find some time... to wear it alone for you to see, okay?"

The most difficult woman to handle in the entire Mygo (JPG).
