How can my simulation be a real love?

Not far away, Kazami Mei was walking side by side with a black-haired girl with an expressionless face. It seemed that the two were talking about something as they walked. Su Shi Liu Mei, who immediately recognized 'Yamana Kai Rin', gradually frowned.

Of course she knew Hachiman Kairin; this girl had almost taken her place back then.

"When did she meet Ming?"

This sudden increase in 'cheating cats' is no longer limited to just one or two. Without Nagasaki Motoyo noticing, more and more women are starting to covet her husband, so as his wife, she must 'appropriately' screen and eliminate them.

This kind of expressionless bassist is definitely not a good person!

The number of people cannot be increased any further.

Just Wakaba Mutsumi and Chihaya Aine are already quite formidable opponents; if the number of opponents continues to increase, even Nagasaki Motoyo will be overwhelmed.

Just as Nagasaki Motoyo adjusted her gentle smile and prepared to greet Hachiman Kairin as her 'girlfriend,' a hand suddenly grabbed her arm, and before she could react, she was dragged behind the McDonald's store sign.

A moment of panic set in as Nagasaki Motoyo looked behind her and immediately met the gaze of Shiina Tatsuki, who was frowning deeply.

Even with the standard 'tracking' outfit of a baseball cap, sunglasses, and mask, his waist-length, night-sky-blue hair was too conspicuous. Nagasaki Motoyo recognized this sneaky guy at a glance.

"Lixi? What are you planning to do here dressed like that?"

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask! Why are you here?!"

Wearing sunglasses, Shiina Ritsuki stared intently at Nagasaki Motoyo, who was dressed in a mature style. This guy who suddenly appeared was staring at Hailing with a strange smile. In Shiina Ritsuki's opinion, this guy was obviously up to no good!

Chapter Fifty-Nine: I Agreed.

"Instead of suddenly asking me this kind of question, I'd like to ask Riki-chan why she's here?"

The girl gently closed her soft, delicate hands, her pretty face simply displaying a gentle and sweet smile as usual.

Shiina Tatsuki's expression froze slightly at the sudden question. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she explained in a rather unnatural tone, "...I just happened to be nearby today. And why did you come here?"

Li Xi, you really aren't good at lying.

Nagasaki Motoyo stared at the girl in front of her, whose unnatural expression couldn't be hidden even by sunglasses. The girl's 'lies' full of flaws made her purse her lips slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at the two people who were picking out items not far away.

So Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and, feigning annoyance, muttered slowly, "I just happened to come to this shopping street, but I unexpectedly saw Naruto just now."

Shiina Tatsuki's pupils contracted slightly, and anxiety began to spread in her heart.

"I'm going to say hello to him now, if Lixi doesn't have anything else to say..."

"no!"

Urgent shouts came from above.

Seeing that Nagasaki Motoyo, with a big smile on her face, was about to walk past her to stop Hailing's date, Shiina Tatsuki, who was feeling anxious, naturally got up to block her way again. But this time, unlike before, there was absolutely no reason for her to stop her.

The girl, who had been smiling gently, suddenly focused her gaze, as if she had realized something.

"Why not?"

Nagasaki Motoyo tilted her head with a smile, her usually calm light blue eyes now curving into crescent moons.

Even when stopped, Su Shi's smiling face left Shiina Riki speechless, unable to say anything for a moment.

"Speaking of which... Riki-chan, you were looking at Naruto just now, right? Didn't you tell me you didn't know where he was? Why are you back in the shopping street near him now, and what about that black-haired girl next to Naruto... I remember she's Riki-chan's friend, right?"

"Lixi-chan, shouldn't you explain this to me properly?"

A barrage of questions poured into Shiina Riki's ears like a high-speed divine incantation.

From the time the two met a long time ago, Shiina Tatsuki knew that Nagasaki Motoyo was a very difficult person to mess with, but he never expected that the other party would be so terrifying in terms of 'Kazami Naru'. This tough attitude left Shiina Tatsuki stunned for a moment.

Perhaps seeing Shiina Tatsuki's attitude soften instantly, Nagasaki Motoyo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Since Riki-chan doesn't want to explain to me, then of course I won't force you to answer."

"Su Shi, what do you mean?"

Seeing that the aggressive Nagasaki Motoyo had given up on pressing her advantage, Shiina Tatsuki, who was under immense pressure, stared at her strangely.

"It doesn't mean anything~"

"Didn't I just say that? I just wanted to go over and say hello to Ming, but for some reason Li Xi is stopping me here."

When asked this question, Nagasaki Motoyo simply smiled and tilted her head; the meaning in her eyes was quite clear at this moment.

This made Shiina Ritsuki, who already had no reason to stop her, even more guilty.

It would be impossible to force her to stand here and block Su Shi, since Shiina Ritsuki herself is not an unreasonable person.

Nagasaki Motoyo could probably guess Shiina Tatsuki's reasons for stopping her, but of course she couldn't let Kazami Mei and Hachiman Kairin develop a relationship; what she feared most now was that her husband would deepen his relationship with someone else without her knowledge, or that someone would secretly go to him first.

She cannot allow the number of people to increase any further.

Despite her complex emotions, Nagasaki Motoyo maintained a sweet and gentle smile on her face. Her slender fingers lightly twirled a strand of soft hair beside her ear, and she whispered softly in Shiina Tatsuki's ear—

"Besides, Riki-chan... I'm Naruto's girlfriend. Is there anything wrong with me taking the initiative to go find him?"

Shiina Riki's pupils contracted slightly, and for a moment he forgot to stop the other party.

If Chihaya Aine, who was also his girlfriend, were here at this time, she could still hold onto Suze. However, Shiina Tatsuki is completely different from Chihaya Aine. She has not agreed to confess until now and is at most just Kazami Mei's 'friend' and 'band member'.

She truly had absolutely no right, position, or reason to stop Nagasaki Motoyo.

This is the difference in "status".

"..."

Seeing Shiina Ritsuki's deeply furrowed brows and somber expression, Nagasaki Motoyo could only silently apologize to her in her heart.

Although Nagasaki Motoyo is indeed a very scheming girl, she certainly doesn't want to ruin her friendships because of this. She can't deal with Wakaba Mutsumi and Takamatsu Akari, whose relationship is already 'set in stone', so she can only try to limit the number of people involved.

Regardless, she must firmly maintain her position as the only girlfriend.

"How about we sit down together sometime, have some tea, and chat? If there's nothing else..."

After saying this, Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and put her hands together. Then she walked past Shiina Tatsuki, who was blocking her way, and headed straight for Kazami Naru.

I need to hurry; those two look like they're about to leave.

Judging from the current situation, the bassist named 'Hachiman Kairin' and her husband's relationship hasn't reached that point yet.

If Nagasaki Motoyo were to strike up a conversation now and casually reveal that she is Naruto's girlfriend, perhaps he would be more discreet and keep his distance. Otherwise, if they continue dating, they might end up getting married today.

Sudden--

Nagasaki Motoyo's gentle smile suddenly froze, and her smile visibly transformed into one of indifference and confusion.

Just as Nagasaki Motoyo was about to leave, she lowered her head expressionlessly and discovered that her left wrist had been grabbed by Shiina Tatsuki without her noticing. Even though Shiina Tatsuki had her back to her, he precisely blocked her from moving forward.

This caused Ms. Su Shi, whose feelings were complicated, to sigh softly, and she said meaningfully, "Li Xi-chan, who exactly are you—"

"Me too……"

Shiina Tatsuki's faint voice drifted from ahead, causing Nagasaki Motoyo's already puzzled expression to turn somewhat surprised.

Just as she was about to say something, Shiina Ritsuki slowly turned around.

Her once icy expression was now covered by shame and indignation. She clenched her teeth and glared fiercely at Nagasaki Motoyo's beautiful face. The girl's trembling shoulders hinted at the turbulent emotions surging within her.

Standing still, Nagasaki Motoyo could feel the other person's hand trembling as she held it. Shiina Tatsuki, who was also standing still, seemed to have lost her usual composure. She was shaking as if she had been hit by a huge shock, swaying precariously as if she would collapse to the ground at any moment.

Even so, Shiina Tatsuki still didn't let go.

"Lixi-chan, did you just say something?"

Nagasaki Motoyo had a strange, bad feeling in her heart, and the gentle, elegant smile that she had initially worn had long since vanished from her face.

"I said... I am too!"

Shiina Ritsuki gritted her teeth and chewed out each word slowly and deliberately. She was so ashamed and indignant that even her words trembled, but she met Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes without fear.

This straightforward attitude caused a complete 360-degree reversal in the positions between the two!

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly felt a chill in her hands and feet, and the bad premonition in her heart was gradually solidifying.

"...Lixi-chan, you wouldn't be like that too, would you?"

"Me too... I'm also Ming's girlfriend!"

Shiina Riki shouted in a low, hoarse voice as if he were going all out, which shocked Nagasaki Motoyo so much that she stared wide-eyed.

The two stood there under the billboard in the alley, their voices barely audible unless they were face to face. Yet, Nagasaki Motoyo sensed a strong emotion in Shiina Tatsuki's barely audible words, as if she were shouting them with all her might.

"...Are you kidding me, Riki-chan?"

Nagasaki Motoyo forced a smile, secretly hoping that Shiina Tatsuki would fall silent as a result.

The two of them were friends who formed a band together in junior high school. Their understanding of each other deepened during the process of Mygo disbanding and then reforming. Therefore, Nagasaki Motoyo knew very well how stubborn Riki was and that she would never admit her feelings.

Even a stranger could see her feelings for Kazami Mei, but she herself simply didn't dare to say it.

"That guy confessed to me before, and I've already said yes."

"So... I'm now in a relationship with that idiot Ming!"

Shiina Riki seemed to have used all her strength to say those words, and her long, straight legs were trembling.

After shouting those words, her neck turned bright red, her already trembling heart began to beat wildly and uncontrollably, and it felt as if a burning flame had been forced into her chest below her ribs, with hot and scalding blood spreading throughout her body.

"Lixi-chan, you're just lying, aren't you?"

Because she understood the other party, Nagasaki Motoyo did not believe Riki's one-sided story.

"I have no reason to lie to you. I like that guy too... I already kissed that idiot Ming a long time ago! I agreed after he confessed to me, so we've been lovers for a long time!"

"If you insist on not believing me... then why don't you go find that guy and verify it? Then you'll know whether I was lying to you or not!"

Shiina Riki, whose personality is always impatient and serious, is completely different from her usual self at this moment. When she admits 'like' without hesitation, her whole face is flushed with a clear red, and her thin lips, which are painted with lip gloss, look even more delicate and luscious. Her soft skin is tinged with a bright, sickly flush.

Nagasaki Motoyo had never seen such an expression on Shiina Tatsuki before, and for a moment she stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

"Now, do you understand?"

"What you're doing now is cheating on your girlfriend. According to that pink-haired girl's 'rules'... as her girlfriend, I'm in a position to stop you now, aren't I!?"

Shiina Ritsuki pursed her lips, trying her best to maintain a calm expression.

But her fair ears were already flushed red, and her unadorned face seemed to be desperately trying to remain calm. She didn't even know what she had said until she finished speaking. Her right hand was still holding onto Nagasaki Motoyo's left wrist, preventing this troublesome woman from ruining Hailin's date.

"..."

Nagasaki Motoyo fell into an odd silence.

Since Shiina Tatsuki had already said something like "go to Kazami Mei to verify," it meant that she probably wasn't lying. Although it couldn't be guaranteed that it was her actions that provoked her to the point of complete anger, judging from the result... her plan to ruin the date had failed.

These are the rules between girlfriends.

Of course, it's okay for a girlfriend to 'run away', provided that no one else finds out.

If discovered by others of equal status, everyone has the right to stop each other's 'excessive' sneaking behavior, unless such behavior is tacitly accepted by everyone. For example, the Mygo training camp last time was fine. In this case, it was simply a game of skill.

Nagasaki Motoyo turned around and watched Kazami Naru's figure gradually disappear. Then she turned to look at Shiina Tatsuki, who was gripping her wrist tightly. In the end, she just bit her lip lightly, her thoughts filled with resentment and helplessness.

"...I understand, then I'll go home."

The thought of another 'love rival' appearing right under her nose left Nagasaki Motoyo with no way to deal with it, and she could only let out a heavy sigh.

Just thinking about how to get rid of these women gave her a splitting headache. Now that Shiina Ritsuki had caught her, no matter how many ideas she had, she could only reluctantly give up for the time being.

Shiina Ritsuki clearly wasn't going to give in so easily. She glared at her sharp, dark purple eyes and said coldly, "No, you can't leave now."

"...So, Miss Lixi, do you have any further advice for me?"

Ms. Su Shi, with her gentle smile, was very displeased, and she spoke sarcastically to Shiina Riki in front of her.

Regardless of the circumstances, the other party was the culprit who ruined her 'plan,' so how could Nagasaki Motoyo possibly give them a friendly look now?

"Who knows if you'll say 'go home' on the surface, but then find another opportunity to sneak over to Ming's side."

"That's outrageous. Do I look like that kind of person?"

"What do you say?"

Shiina Tatsuki rolled her eyes at her without any politeness, which made Nagasaki Motoyo, who still had a glimmer of hope, completely give up her last thought.

"They won't let me go home, and they won't let me go see Ming?"

"Lixi, are you really planning to spend hours here with me, waiting for Ming to finish his date with that vixen from who-knows-where?"

Shiina Tatsuki merely frowned at the teasing, and after careful consideration, she pointed to McDonald's not far away and said in a sharp but indifferent tone, "Then let's go sit in that fast food restaurant and talk about things outside of the band."
