How can my simulation be a real love?

"How exactly did Ming manage to persuade Aine to come back? At that time, Aine seemed determined to leave, but after Ming ran over, she immediately went home obediently!"

"I asked her what had happened, but Ke'aiyin blushed and wouldn't say a word..."

Of course, she didn't dare to say anything more.

Recalling the scene at the airport, a subtle look flashed in Kazami's eyes. Anyone would feel uncomfortable seeing a pink-haired girl hugging a boy and crying and kissing him in front of everyone at the airport.

Especially considering that Miss Aine is such a proud person, she must have almost fainted from embarrassment when she thought about it later.

"It took me a lot of effort to calm her down and get her home."

"...But to calm Aine-chan down, you usually need something even more shocking than her, right?"

The girl's eyelashes fluttered as she gazed into Kazami Mei's deep black eyes. The quick-witted Kita was no fool when it came to love; she could naturally guess what Kazami Mei had 'done' to calm down even a hot-blooded fool like Aine.

He had just dropped out of his date with Kita-san and then went to kiss other women.

It really was Grandma Li who opened the door; youth has truly returned!

Kazami Mei simply let out a long sigh, then replied meaningfully, "Since you're so eager to know, Yuyo, would you like me to tell you what exactly happened?"

"Eh?!"

Kita Yuyo blinked blankly, then her delicate face instantly flushed with surprise and shyness.

Kazami Mei suddenly grabbed the girl's smooth, fragrant shoulders and pulled her into his arms. Her delicate body was as light and soft as cotton and was easily controlled. Without any resistance, she simply sat on Kazami Mei's lap.

The extremely close eye contact allowed the two to clearly feel the scorching air around their ears. In less than three seconds of contact, Kita Ikuyo felt her whole body go limp and powerless.

A familiar fragrance mingled with the scent of hormones, filling her nostrils. Kita Ikuyo, her eyes lowered, blushed and tried to look away, but her shoulders were grabbed, leaving her with no way to escape.

Faced with this dreamlike and beautiful scene, even Ms. Kita, who was mentally prepared, was completely stunned.

No, that's not right!

Kissing isn't possible right now; we have to wait!

"I...I lost!"

Kita-san, instantly captivated, raised a small white flag in pleading for mercy, and Kazami Mei then chuckled and released her delicate shoulder.

Although she had been freed from his restraints, Miss Kita still showed no intention of leaving him.

Perhaps worried that her 'desertion' would cause Kazami Mei to misunderstand her feelings, Kita Ikuyo's eyes trembled slightly as she gradually became anxious, her cute face full of apprehension.

Before Kazami Mei could even speak, she preemptively began to explain—

"Ming, I didn't mean anything by it!"

"Just a little longer, really just a little longer!"

This must wait until after she confesses her feelings!

Kita Ikuyo must sincerely confess her feelings to Kazami Mei, revealing the emotions and love she has hidden for so long, accumulating like a volcanic eruption, before taking this step. She must express all the resentment and guilt she felt in the [dream], and all the love she could not tell him—

She has to be the one to confess her feelings!

"Of course I understand, and besides, would I be more anxious than you, Yu Dai?"

Kazami Naru gently ruffled Kita's fiery red hair with a smile in his eyes. Kita Ikuyo blinked, trying to brush him off.

After all, as a girl, her initiative and her constant, greedy desire for more made her seem far more eager than Kazami Naruto to anyone else.

That's true, we've kissed before.

The two of them already knew what their relationship was, so why would they need to wait a little longer?

"What's wrong with being in a hurry! I'll be even more anxious later!"

Kita Ikuyo clenched her little fists and spoke in a serious tone. There was a strange sense of humor in saying such things with such a serious expression.

Although such an important thing as a kiss should be reserved for after a confession, it's not a problem to kiss a little now, right?

After all, Kazami Mei just said that as long as the contact is "not excessive", it's fine. In other words, as long as the bottom line isn't crossed, then we can just let Tadashi Yuki do whatever she wants.

"..."

Kazami Mei's expression froze; he seemed to have sensed something from Kita-san's eyes.

In fact, he was already struggling to control the recoil of the AK, but fortunately, Ms. Kita didn't notice at the time.

……

Time often passes much faster than expected when you are focused on something.

With her face flushed, Kita Ikuyo led Kazami Naru out of the KTV through the glass door. Originally, she only intended to get a little intimate and then stop, but she didn't expect to get a little carried away after taking too much liberty.

I haven't sung much since I entered the private room, and I haven't had a chance to show him the singing skills I've developed during this time.

When it was time to leave, Kita Ikuyo even felt her legs were too weak to walk. In the end, she had to be pulled away by Kazami Naru to leave the exhibition hall.

The night is fading.

Under the dim night sky, the streets of Yokohama were sparsely lit by stars. A boy with jet-black hair, flowing down his shoulders, led a girl with fiery red hair as they strolled along the cobblestone path. The girl's heart pounded faster with each step they took.

Even more nervous than before her first performance on stage, Kita Ikuyo pressed her lips tightly together.

My hands are sweating.

Perhaps because she was thinking about how important the scene was going to be, Kita Ikuyo was so nervous that she felt her palms sweating. As a girl, she naturally didn't want him to notice her sticky sweat. But Kita Ikuyo only made a slight movement of loosening her grip, and she was immediately countered by the sharp-eyed Kazami Mei.

Kazami Mei kept looking straight ahead and silently took her hand back.

Their intertwined fingertips were like their interconnected hearts, and sensing the boy's thoughts, he gripped his hand even tighter.

This time, she had nowhere to run.

The girl's heart continued to race as the boy held her hand tightly, but her fear and nervousness gradually subsided with the warmth from his palm. She gently pressed her other hand against her chest.

Even without looking at Kita Ikuyo, she knew perfectly well that she must be blushing like an idiot right now.

"There's a park up ahead, would you like to go sit for a while?"

Kazami Mei, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, pulling the girl back from her chaotic thoughts.

"Yes, of course!"

Kita Ikuyo answered instinctively, while secretly observing his expression out of the corner of her eye.

Standing beside her, Kazami Naruto's excessively handsome face remained as gentle and beautiful as ever. With his black hair cascading down his shoulders, his gaze was fixed straight ahead without wavering. From her perspective, she could faintly see the metallic sheen on his earlobe.

The moment the dreamlike, handsome young man turned his head, Kita Ikuyo instinctively lowered her eyes, her heart filled with shyness that made her dare not look up.

"What's wrong? Are you impressed by my handsomeness?"

"Huh?! Who would say that on their own!"

Seeing Kazami Mei's mischievous smile, Kita Ikuyo couldn't help but laugh and retort.

"Nonsense, didn't you admit before that you'd been secretly watching me for a long time? You wouldn't have thought that Yu Dai approached me just because of my 'face', would you?"

"of course not!"

Kita Ikuyo retorted righteously.

But Kazami's meaningful smile made her inexplicably uncomfortable, and a faint sense of guilt made her delicate fingertips tremble slightly.

"At the very beginning..."

So it really is true?

Kazami Naruto's lips twitched, and before he could even retort to Kita Ikuyo, he spoke again—

"But that's definitely not the case right now. I'll prove it to you, Ming, in a minute!"

This time, Kita-san's serious rebuttal showed no sign of confusion, and this demeanor caused Kazami Mei's lips to curl into a slight smile.

Before they knew it, the two had strolled into a familiar park. It seemed as if they were the only two people in the park. Under the gradually darkening night sky, only two dim streetlights emitted a faint, star-like glow.

The thin, veil-like clouds gradually dispersed from the sky, and the soft, continuous moonlight gently bathed her, its silvery glow softening her vibrant red, flowing hair.

The girl's gentle, clear yellow-green eyes were fixed on Kazami's face. Her flustered and nervous emotions made her rely on deep breathing to calm herself down. Kazami standing opposite her seemed to gradually overlap with his figure in the [dream].

As if in a fleeting, unnoticed moment, he would begin to murmur softly—

“I used to be hesitant about my feelings. Perhaps I had already sensed your hidden thoughts and the feelings you wanted to express. But because of this hesitation, I couldn’t respond to you back then. Even though I didn’t get a response, you would still stand by my side with a smile.”

"You said you wanted me to rely on you completely."

"But I want you to see me as someone you can trust, someone you can rely on, someone you can entrust everything to. I hope you can give your life to me."

"Kita Ikuyo, I—"

Before Kazami Naru could finish speaking, Kita-san, blushing, rushed up to him.

Without a word, Kita Ikuyo reached out and covered Kazami Naru's mouth with her small hand, her eyes filled with anxiety as she said, "No, no, no!! Naru, you're too cunning! How could you speak first without permission..."

"It was clearly agreed that I would be the one to speak, wasn't it!?"

She had been preparing for this for a long time!

"I didn't agree to that, did I?"

Kazami Mei winked with a half-smile, making Kita Ikuyo pout.

"In short, it has to be me who says it!"

Kita Ikuyo, whose tense mood was disrupted by Kazami Mei's sudden preemptive attack, took a deep breath and inexplicably relaxed, her eyes fixed intently on the front.

“I hate… that version of myself who was ‘unable to be anyone’.”

"Whether in the eyes of family, friends, teachers, or strangers, I am just playing the role of someone who is likable. But no matter how hard I try to 'play' it, I can never become anyone. Even when I come into contact with the person I admire, I still cannot change my mediocrity."

"But Ming didn't look at me like that."

"Even though I'm just so mediocre no matter how hard I try, you're always there silently pushing me from behind. Even though my efforts are ineffective time and time again, you still support me wholeheartedly. You're the one who shines brightest on stage, but you're willing to stand behind me and smile."

"Without Naruto, I wouldn't be able to become 'Kita Ikuyo'!"

Kita Ikuyo, who is usually lively and enthusiastic, lowered her eyes and gradually became immersed in the moment.

Her eyes, radiating vitality at all times, were fixed on the front. Her left hand, pressed against her chest, seemed to be grasping her heart. With this movement, her bright red side ponytail drew brilliant sparks in the air.

Her eyes, which always gave others strength and energy, shone with a determined light.

"Ming, I can't live without you anymore."

Whatever the future holds, she has already made her decision.

"Therefore, you must take responsibility—"

The moment the girl finished speaking, Kazami Mei stepped forward.

Her fiery red hair shone brightly in the moonlight, and before she could finish speaking, Kazami Mei silenced her with a kiss, her small hand gently pressing against his chest.

Before she knew it, the girl was already standing on tiptoe, her bright and enthusiastic eyes gradually filled with soft light, and her trembling body was brought about by her throbbing heart. She was so immersed in this moment of emotional outburst.

This time, she said it out loud.

a long time.

Kita Ikuyo, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, finally pulled away from her reverie with reluctance. Her cherry blossom-like lips were still glistening with moisture. This kiss was even more powerful than the last one.

"...How cunning, even when we're kissing, I want to take the initiative."

"How can that be? You can't have all the good things!"

Kazami Meiru, while making a sarcastic remark, reached out and gently flicked the tip of her nose. Hearing this, Kita-san simply rubbed her cheek against his neck, then softly muttered a complaint—

"Ming knew I wanted to confess, but he still tried to beat me to it."

"If I hadn't said those things back then, given the atmosphere, I might never have had the chance to say them later. Besides, I hadn't even said those four crucial words yet?"

Kazami Mei thought about how he had already backed away, but Kita-san was still kissing him and wouldn't let go, so he couldn't help but tease her. Kita Ikuyo just hummed and didn't say anything.

"Ming, so this time you really want me to go first?"

"No, you're eating and taking things, right?"

After a half-second silence, the two of them burst out laughing at the same time.

A glance is a spiritual kiss between two people; even just through eye contact, they sense each other's feelings. So they simply smile knowingly and speak simultaneously—

"I like you."
