How can my simulation be a real love?

However, if he wants to win over the simulated object, he must stick to the pure love route of Kita Kita; otherwise, the entire simulation may collapse.

Therefore, he could neither attend to the dejected little lamp nor help the wounded, pathetic woman.

He must ignore both sides in order to steadfastly follow Kita's path.

"Never mind all that."

Without much hesitation, Kazami Mei chose to help the injured Yamada Ryo.

Although he felt really sorry for the cute little girl who had turned off the lights, he couldn't ignore his injured ex-wife in this simulation, because doing so might cause internal problems within the band and thus affect Kita.

In addition, given his personality, he couldn't just stand by and watch others do nothing.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

Does helping a slut cross the street turn him into a love-struck fool?

Unable to leave the injured Yamada Ryo unattended, you decide to personally take her home.

Because she couldn't put weight on her right leg, she leaned her whole body against you and intimately wrapped her left arm around your neck, while you reached out to support her slender waist.

Her fragrance and softness constantly stimulate your senses.

[Yamada Ryo's intimate actions seem to have a very strong purpose.]

But you can't glean her true thoughts from her expressionless, cold face.

To this, you can only silently escort her to her doorstep.

……

Her stunningly beautiful face was bathed in the hazy moonlight.

It was a mansion that exuded warmth and brightness even under the dim night sky. Its Western European aristocratic style, combined with a courtyard full of lawns and fountains, showcased the mansion's owner's immense wealth.

The sign at the main gate reads "Yamada".

Always free and unconventional, she possesses a prestigious status that is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

If one hadn't seen this astonishingly large mansion with their own eyes, most people probably wouldn't have been able to see any trace of a so-called 'rich heiress' in this disheveled woman who was scavenging for grass and mushrooms on the ground.

"Thank you for bringing me back."

Yamada Ryo slowly released his arm from around his neck, gently touched the marble floor with the toe of his injured right foot, elegantly crossed his arms over his chest, and leaned his back against the doorplate bearing the name 'Yamada'.

A gentle breeze caressed the girl's cheek, rippling her neat, short blue hair.

Her noble and elegant golden eyes shone brightly under the light, like the Milky Way under the moonlight and reflected the stars.

"It's truly rare to receive such thanks from you. In that case, Miss Liang, shouldn't you first pay a token of your gratitude?"

"Thank you."

Faced with Kazami Mei's mocking demand for payment, Ms. Yamada repeated her words with her indifferent expression.

This guy is still the same old him when it comes to this kind of thing.

"Actually, you probably didn't need me to bring it back, right? A simple phone call would have been enough to have your family come over—"

Before Kazami Naruto could finish speaking, he was forced to swallow his words back.

Just moments ago, Ms. Yamada had twisted her ankle and was unable to walk. Now, she had somehow reached out and grabbed his bow tie. Her stunningly beautiful face, adorned with a beauty mark, was close to his, forcing him to look her in the eye.

"But, Ming."

The girl's usually icy and aloof demeanor was now replaced by a gentle smile.

At that moment, the dim world before my eyes seemed to be illuminated by light.

It was like the first ray of sunshine in spring melting the ice.

Even so, you still brought me back.

"Isn't it?"

Even though her voice still carried its usual indifference, the girl's doll-like face was now flushed with a mesmerizing blush. Her long, delicate eyelashes, as fine as cicada wings, fluttered gently, and a charming curve appeared on her cool face.

Miss Yamada grabbed Kazami Naru's collar with one hand, bringing him even closer to her.

"You've been hugging a beautiful girl like me for so long, you should at least pay me 200 million yen."

"It's the other way around, you should pay me two million."

Kazami's tone became somewhat stiff, and her keen observation skills naturally detected his momentary panic.

QQ: ⒏1 4 9 0 3 7 9 8

A mischievous glint flashed in her golden eyes, and taking advantage of his momentary daze, the girl's cherry-pink lips lightly touched the corner of his mouth, and she licked her lips without any shyness.

She remained aloof and free-spirited, showing no sign of panic even after taking it upon herself to do so.

It was as if they had calculated that Kazami Mei wouldn't be angry about it.

"This time, consider it a small amount of interest that I've collected."

Chapter Forty-Eight: It's too low!

As you watch Yamada Ryo return home with the help of her family, the stunningly beautiful, defiant smile she gave you as she turned back before leaving ignites your competitive spirit.

At the same time, her smile, like a red-hot branding iron, is etched deeply into your heart, lingering for a long time.

You find that you don't feel any disgust towards her behavior; at this moment, her image is already etched in a corner of your heart, impossible to erase.

Your relationship with Yamada Ryo has deepened.

[Yamada Ryo's attention to you has increased significantly, and his affection for you has also increased.]

No, buddy?

The simulated me is a bit too weak, isn't I? I surrendered just because of a light kiss from a mere blue-haired woman?

Even if Ms. Yamada is truly the legendary 'rich and beautiful girl'—his ideal wife who lives off his wife—it's not like he'd be so easily bewitched by her. Wouldn't that make him seem incredibly foolish?

This is so embarrassing! It must be the problem caused by the "Cheat Card"!

It has absolutely nothing to do with him!

Kazami Mei took a slow, deep breath, and because the stimulation from the memory was too strong, he couldn't help but rub his temples.

This looks like things are really getting complicated. I never thought that just helping Miss Liang walk would lead to her stealing my house.

This will definitely cause problems with the direction of the simulation. Will it still be able to follow Miss Kita's route correctly?

No, there should still be a chance to salvage it.

With a little bit of remedial work later on, it should be able to return to Kita-san's pure love story.

You are aware that your feelings for Yamada Ryo are unusual, but you are also aware that you like Kita Ikuyo. This complex emotion is causing you great distress.

[In the following month, you continued to help Kita Ikuyo practice as usual, and you would also play duets with her on the keyboard and electric guitar. The more you worked together, the more tacit you became.]

To thank you, Kita Ikuyo often makes small treats as gifts for you during cooking class. She holds the cookies in both hands with a bright smile and hands them to you, and she also shows a cute expression of joy or annoyance because of your comments.

Aside from training, Yamada Ryo continued to keep to herself, as always, displaying her narcissism and smugness; there was nothing unusual about her outward appearance.

It's as if her last story with you was just an insignificant little episode.

What is Miss Liang planning this time?

After flirting with someone, do you just leave them hanging? Are you expecting them to figure it out in their head?

After all, she was his 'ex-wife,' so Kazami Meiya could roughly guess what Yamada Ryo was thinking.

This scumbag woman is indeed very aggressive in this regard, but she has one fatal flaw: she is incredibly narcissistic and arrogant, and will definitely wait for the other person to confess first.

As long as Kazami Mei doesn't confess first, this simulation shouldn't go too far astray.

Time flies, and soon it was time to end the band's first official performance.

[You, who were prepared, were met with an unexpected downpour, a torrential rain that threatened to completely engulf the entire world.]

[The scheduled live performances will still have to go on, and the oppressive atmosphere reflects the melancholy in everyone's hearts.]

Kita Ikuyo practiced hard and diligently for today, but it was her first time on stage, so it was inevitable that she would get nervous. You could feel her trying to liven up the atmosphere to ease everyone's tension, but no one could ease her own nervousness.

What is your decision regarding this?

[1. He took the initiative to pat Kita's head and comfort her.]

[2. Yamada Ryo stares at you meaningfully, then pulls the arrogant girl into a corner and gives her a good scolding.]

3. Don't just comfort one person; comfort everyone in the band.

4. Virtual Reality, Personal Simulation

The options in this simulation are truly terrifying, one after another. This damn simulator seems to be deliberately leading him astray.

The third option seems to be a very normal type.

However, Kazami Mei, who was very confident in her intuition, had a bad feeling. If she really chose it, she would definitely fall into a trap and something would go wrong. It might even turn into a complicated love triangle.

As a pure love god, he is determined to pursue his love with Ms. Kita.

[You find an opportunity to prepare before going on stage and take the initiative to comfort Kita Ikuyo.]

You easily saw through her true feelings. Her forced smile gradually fell away in front of you, who trusted her, and she began to tell you her true thoughts little by little.

[In reality, Kita Ikuyo, who is usually the most cheerful, was more nervous than anyone else at this moment, and more afraid than anyone else of being a burden to the band. She began to feel fear of the live stage and lacked confidence in the results of her hard work in training.]

[Faced with Kita Ikuyo, whose fingers were trembling slightly, you gently pulled her into your arms and tenderly stroked her bright red hair, whispering in her ear, "If the performance goes wrong, will you go out with me?"]

It's too low down.

Damn, how well does he talk in this simulation?

Hearing those words instantly made Kita blush bright red. The usually eloquent Kita stammered, covering her face with her hands, her head seemingly steaming from the heat.

[You laughed and said it was just a joke, which made Kita Ikuyo, who was embarrassed and angry, punch her several times. However, this little 'joke' did successfully relieve her tension, and she gradually felt more and more empowered because of you.]

As expected of me.

If it were Kazami Naruto himself, he probably wouldn't have been able to do that. It's no wonder that he's been by Kita's side for so long, and he can say things that would make someone like Kita Ikuyo, who's known for his outgoing personality, blush with embarrassment.

However, judging from this progress, it seems that the relationship has been brought back to Kita-san's side.

Surely we won't get our base raided again for no reason?

We need to be a little wary of Ms. Ex-Wife; her combat power in the simulation is just too strong. If we're not careful, this simulation, which belongs to 'Kita', might turn into the domain of that scumbag woman.

Chapter Forty-Nine Haha, Send

Your words of comfort seem to have had a positive effect.

Despite the torrential rain, the performance was still filled with a sense of pressure. At the beginning of the show, Nijika, the drummer, experienced a slight erratic rhythm, but you, the keyboardist, immediately changed the melody by using sustained notes. Ichiri Goto, the guitarist, also reacted and added a melody on the spot to keep up with the rhythm.

[Your intervention made Ichiji Nijika look at you with relief, and Kita, as the lead vocalist, suppressed her nervousness and sang with a steady voice, showing her ability to control her emotions freely in the song. You brought the performance back on track.]

QQ: 8 1 4 9 0 3 7 9 8

[Your initial coordination did have some issues, but your performance gradually calmed everyone down. Even though you were just an unknown new band, your excellent performance brought smiles of surprise to the faces of the audience.]

After the performance, you could still hear guests saying, "It was so good that we came through the heavy rain, otherwise we wouldn't have had the chance to hear such an unexpectedly excellent performance."

You have successfully averted this crisis.

Kita Ikuyo, Iji Chi Nijika, Goto Ichiri's trust in you has increased.

Hmm? Why is it that only Miss Liang's trust level hasn't increased?

This woman, did she really think he could definitely keep things running smoothly from the start...?

You notice that Kita Ikuyo seems to like following you more and more. Ever since she found out your address, she often uses training as an excuse to come see you secretly.

For convenience, you simply gave her a spare key.

Your trust in her made her very happy.

[In your second year of high school, you had to reduce the number of times you worked part-time due to band practice, which the coffee shop owner complained about from time to time. She begged you to be the acting manager, so you had to go back and fill in for a while.]

[By chance, you notice some subtle changes in Toyokawa Shoko, a junior employee.]
