How can my simulation be a real love?

"Of course, hotels are an exception."

The girl was momentarily stunned.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Kazami Mei reached out and tapped her forehead with a chop to the forehead, somewhat annoyed.

She had previously appeared to him as an innocent high school girl with no dating experience, but who would have thought that once she broke through that veil and opened her heart, she would be thinking about taking the first step onto the ladder of adulthood?

Only in this aspect can Miss Kita's fighting ability be compared with that of Souyo and Ryo.

"I... how could I possibly mention a place like that! Ming-san, really..."

Kita-san, her face flushed an unnatural red, subconsciously looked away. Her guilty expression, clearly indicating she was lying, made Kazami Mei's lips twitch slightly, but he didn't choose to expose the girl's veil of shame.

"So, Ms. Yudai, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"Of course!"

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide and showed a very serious expression, then raised her head solemnly as if she were chanting a Command Spell.

I want to go to karaoke!

……

Why this one?

Kazami Naruto, led by Kita Iku to the karaoke bar, had a rather subtle look in his eyes. He looked the karaoke bar over and over again, and then subconsciously glanced at the road next to it as he stood at the entrance.

Not far away, a large concrete bridge spanning the road stood tall on the ground. Kazami Naruto had a very deep impression of this 'human bridge', as if he had some kind of inescapable curse and karmic entanglement with it.

Every time Kazami Naru comes here, nothing good ever happens.

Speaking of which, Kazami Naruto knows this karaoke bar next door like the back of his hand. It's the place where he was rejected when he 'confessed' to Kita-san in the simulation.

"Alright! Let's go in quickly!"

The red-haired girl beside him held Kazami Naruto's hand with shining eyes, looking quite excited.

Looking into her eyes, which sparkle like stars, it seems she has completely entered a state of 'passion'. In this state, Miss Kita is unyielding and stubborn, and even Kazami Mei's persuasion is unlikely to extinguish her extraordinary enthusiasm.

Not to mention that this time it was Kazami Naru who took the initiative to agree to her request.

"...In that case, let's go."

Knowing there's no escaping it, then it's best to face it head-on.

Mr. Kazami took a deep breath to adjust his mindset and remained silent for half a second before taking Kita's hand without saying a word. This caught the enthusiastic Kita Ikuyo off her feet, and she was pulled along to the counter to pay the bill. Then, they hurriedly rushed to the private room that had already been booked.

If we disregard the simulation, this was Kazami Mei's first time officially attending a karaoke session.

The small karaoke room can only accommodate four or five people, but it's more than enough for Kazami Naru and Kita Ikuyo. However, compared to the large room, the two of them need to sit closer together.

Kita-san, who only dared to stick her tongue out at the ramen shop, was even more unrestrained in this private room. Plus, the room was dimly lit and soundproof, so if she were to do something secretly, probably no one would notice.

Kazami Naruto casually ordered a snack set and two glasses of freshly squeezed mango juice. He was probably more familiar with Kita-san, who was a regular customer, so he turned to look at the girl sitting next to him.

"Yudai, are you going to sing...?"

The sight of the book in front of him caused Kazami Mei's expression to gradually stiffen.

"...We're here to sing, aren't we?"

As soon as Kazami Mei finished speaking, she heard a girl's somewhat muffled murmur in her ear—

"Of course, it's singing! I'm just feeling a bit stuffy..."

Turning my head, I saw that Ms. Kita, who was originally wearing a beige coat, had taken it off.

She wore a spaghetti strap dress with pure white lace trim, a black silk ribbon she had just bought tied around her neck, and her black leather shoes were worn with a slightly unnatural tiptoeing.

Under the warm yellow light, her fair and smooth shoulders glowed with a faint pink, like delicate skin just out of a bath. The blush gradually spread from her cheeks to her ears as she raised her eyes with seductive charm, her increasingly disordered and hot breath filling the small space.

You're lying! You didn't come here to sing at all!

Even in the cramped four-person private room, the two of them could easily sit comfortably. However, Miss Kita, who should have been sitting opposite him, chose to sit next to him instead. In this private setting, perhaps only she would dare to do this in front of Kazami Naruto.

Despite her seemingly timid and shy nature, Kita-san is surprisingly bold in some ways.

"..."

Kazami Mei silently raised her head.

To be fair, its power is indeed exceptionally astonishing.

Before this, Kazami Mei had never felt that Kita-san could be so amorous, and the contrast made him waver a little.

Coupled with Kita-san's impulsive and reckless nature, this seemingly ordinary little private room is actually filled with unimaginable and enormous dangers.

If he makes even the slightest mistake, the AK's magazine will be emptied.

"I'm actually a little thirsty. Why is it so stuffy in here...?"

Kita Ikuyo stretched out her two little hands and fanned her face vigorously, as if trying to use the slight breeze to cool down her face, which was so red it was about to bleed.

But her movements had no effect whatsoever; instead, they caused a blush to spread from her ears to her neck, as if hot blood was circulating through every corner of her skin.

These are the 36 strategies for winning over a "normative girl"—they're incredibly wicked!

However, Kazami Mei was a man with a number of girlfriends comparable to five fingers. He quickly adjusted his mindset, but if Kita continued this offensive, Kazami Mei couldn't say what the final result would be.

Of course, it's impossible to just stand by and watch the other side relentlessly inflict damage—

At this point, you need to pick up the darts and use a counter-attack.

"Yudai."

Kazami Mei, who was originally selecting songs, suddenly spoke up out of the blue.

As Kita Ikuyo turned her head, her face flushed, he expressionlessly grabbed her soft, fragrant shoulder. This sudden 'offensive' instantly captivated Kita, and her eyelashes trembled slightly as she subconsciously closed her eyes.

It was as if they were nervous, or as if they were anticipating something.

Kazami Mei took a deep breath with a serious expression, then gripped the girl's shoulders and spoke earnestly—

"I've wanted to say this for a long time."

"I like--"

"Etc., etc!!"

Kita Ikuyo, who had just been full of anticipation, suddenly opened her eyes wide in fear and hurriedly called out to Kazami Mei to stop.

The sudden announcement of her confession was a complete surprise, catching her completely off guard. How could Miss Kita possibly let Kazami Mei confess at this crucial moment?!

This is a karaoke room, and besides, she has to be the one to confess first!

"Not now! You can't say it now!"

The red-haired girl, with her two index fingers clasped together, shook her head like a rattle drum. Her tightly closed eyes and trembling voice revealed her panicked state of mind.

Seeing this reaction, Kazami raised an eyebrow with a light laugh, and casually said meaningfully, "I said I like cola. I guess I still prefer carbonated drinks to juice."

"I'll ask the waiter to change it right now!"

"No need for that, we'll just make do this time."

As she spoke, Kita Ikuyo subconsciously picked up the dialer, but with Kazami Mei's reassurance, she quickly calmed down her flustered and nervous mood.

Once she calmed down, Kita Ikuyo immediately realized what kind of scheme the boy she liked had used.

Both of them were very clear about the real purpose of this date, so Kazami Naruto also knew that Kita Ikuyo would definitely find out what he was planning. Given Kita's personality, she would probably prepare a surprise confession for this date, and naturally she would not let Kazami Naruto confess at this time and place.

This forms a defense that can be described as "invincible".

I never expected Ming would resort to such despicable means! This is an open conspiracy, an open conspiracy that is not even bothered to hide!

"Woo..."

What should she do next?

Kita Ikuyo's head drooped, her face full of disappointment and sadness. Her fiery red hair seemed to have lost its passion at this moment. She sat down next to him, exhausted and powerless, holding the microphone.

Compared to her previous dazzling idol persona on stage, she doesn't seem nearly as lively now.

The current Kita-san is nothing more than a pitiful fire rabbit.

"There's really nothing I can do to you..."

Kazami Mei let out a helpless sigh.

He wouldn't hesitate to do anything, no matter how troublesome, but he simply couldn't resist a girl who showed him that kind of expression.

"Just don't go too far."

"really?"

Kita Ikuyo's downcast eyes immediately lit up, and the utterly 'disappointed' expression on her face just moments before seemed to be nothing more than a fleeting shooting star; the girl's change of expression was faster than anyone could imagine.

If Kazami Mei hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would have doubted whether he was even fully awake. However, since he had already said it, there was no way he could go back on his word.

It seems that this time, his AK recoil control, which he has been practicing diligently for a long time, will be put to the test.

Chapter 50 Kita Ikuyo.

"Hehe~"

Kita-san gently shook her little head, her eyes squinting comfortably, letting out silly giggles. As she nestled close to Kazami Naruto, her eyes gradually filled with an unyielding longing.

The boy's helpless demeanor, his resignation to his fate, warmed Kita Ikuyo's heart like the sweet taste of a caramel macchiato infused with honey syrup.

It turns out that Ming cares about her feelings even more than she imagined.

"Has Ming been to a karaoke bar with anyone else before?"

"You can rest assured, so far I've only been here with Miss Yudai."

Kazami Mei squinted and reached out to comb Kita-san's delicate red hair. Perhaps because she was sitting on the sofa and her feet couldn't reach the ground, her legs, wearing small leather shoes, swayed gently in the air.

The girl did not resist his intimate actions in the slightest.

"I see! This was Naruto's first time~ Looks like I've won her over!"

The girl clenched her small fists, as if she were secretly cheering herself on.

Kazami Mei rolled her eyes, looking completely understanding, and wisely refrained from criticizing her highly ambiguous line.

From the very beginning, Kazami Mei maintained this sitting posture, with Kita leaning on his shoulder. His stiff neck made him want to adjust his posture slightly, but Kazami Mei only moved a few centimeters to the left before the girl noticed.

With a pout, Kita Ikuyo squeezed into his arms, somewhat dissatisfied, until she found the warmest and most comfortable position, then nodded contentedly.

Kazami Naruto raised an eyebrow and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I remember you've been secretly watching me for a long time, haven't you, Ikuyo?"

"Huh?! We've been discovered!"

The red-haired girl, who had been comfortably squinting, suddenly widened her eyes, and her slightly open mouth made her look quite adorable.

"Even if I didn't want to find out, it would be difficult, wouldn't it? After all, your intentions are a bit too obvious."

Kazami Naru answered in a somewhat subtle tone.

He recalled the period shortly after he acquired the simulator.

Kita Ikuyo, who hadn't yet become a "simulation subject," would occasionally steal glances at him. Later, it became even more obvious when she practiced guitar with Aine-san. Even during study sessions, she would intentionally or unintentionally try to get closer to him.

Then things got even more outrageous; Miss Kita became so bold that she even started trying to hold his hand.

"Yes, that really happened..."

The girl blushed and stammered, her face full of embarrassment at having her thoughts exposed.

Kita Ikuyo originally thought that she would never reveal her hidden thoughts to Kazami Naruto before the moment of "deciding the outcome," but every time she was alone with him, she couldn't hold it in, and as a result, she inexplicably revealed all her thoughts early on.

"When did you realize it, Naruto?"

"I had a slight feeling about it a long time ago, but I wasn't completely sure at the time. It was only after I visited Aine at her house when she was sick—"

The conversation ended there. Even though Kazami Mei didn't finish her sentence, she had already conveyed the full meaning, which made Kita Ikuyo, blushing, cover her face with her two small hands.

Her lithe and petite body curled up, trembling incessantly—a rather amusing sight.

So it was completely exposed so early on?!

Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, Kita-san's eyes looked like two swirling mosquito coils, and with her heart pounding, she quickly changed the subject—

"Speak, let's talk about Aine-chan!"
