How can my simulation be a real love?

[No matter who it is... as long as they haven't transcended the realm of humanity, their patience is inevitably limited. Of course, you can choose to continue in the current state and continue this aimless tug-of-war with them...]

Even Ming might one day in the future... choose to give up on this endless relationship.

Yawata Kairin had already lied repeatedly before, so naturally she wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Although Hachiman Kairin only officially confirmed her romantic relationship with Kazami Mei today, few people could understand his nature and personality better than she did. In Hachiman Kairin's view, even if she waited for ten or twenty years, Kazami Mei would not give up on Riki.

Because that's who he is.

But Hachiman Kairin didn't want to see such a long-winded future—

Since Shiina Ritsuki forced her to dig out the feelings buried deep in her heart, then Hachiman Kairin would naturally force her to face her own feelings as well.

"..."

It was just a few short 'lies' from Yahata Kairin that made the straightforward and serious Shiina Ritsuki subconsciously grit his teeth.

Just as Hachiman Kairin was about to use her signature "reverse psychology" to add another dose of strong medicine, the eccentric and arrogant Shiina suddenly sat up with a flushed face, gritting her teeth as if to suppress her inner shame.

After taking a deep breath, she said coldly, word by word—

"Of course I know that...!"

"I'll invite that guy Ming over to my house in the next couple of days, is that alright?"

Shiina Riki clenched her little pink fists, her face full of shame and indignation. She recalled what she had said to Nagasaki Motoyo back then. From that moment on, she had put herself in the eye of the storm and could only force herself to admit her feelings for that guy.

Even if you're so ashamed you feel like fainting, you have to admit that this is a ticket with no return.

Yawata Kairin was stunned for a few seconds, clearly not expecting Riki to suddenly take such the initiative.

Originally, Hachiman Kairin thought she would need to use her words to push Shiina Riki a few more times and cooperate with Kazami Naru to launch a fierce attack. Even if she couldn't take her down directly, she could resolve the situation naturally in a short time. However, Riki's changes have made her somewhat puzzled.

This seems to be a two-way street?

Thinking of this, Hachiman Kairin nodded slightly, gradually relaxing as she slowly murmured—

Since you've already made up your mind, I don't need to say anything more.

[Of course, if you need help, the reward is a box of panda milkshake jelly.]

Watching the black-haired girl on the other end of the video call continue her expressionless rambling, Shiina Ritsuki, already filled with shame and indignation, trembled her long eyelashes, and then, as if venting her anger, she let out a low shout—

"I don't need your help, Hailing. I know what I can do myself!"

The video call finally ended.

Shiina Riki felt her heart pounding like a bell in her chest. Her cold and sharp demeanor vanished in the blink of an eye. Her snow-white, flawless skin was flushed red by the waves of passion, and her delicate cheeks had somehow acquired an otherworldly charm.

"...Should I take the initiative and confess my feelings to him?"

Confessing her feelings would be too difficult for Shiina Ritsuki. Just being in contact with the guy who liked to tease her would make her feel hot all over and her head would spin so much that she couldn't think straight. If she were to confess her feelings, she probably wouldn't even be able to speak clearly.

If she can't confess herself, then she'll have to let Kazami Naruto confess to her again.

That's what they say, but Shiina Tatsuki has never actually been in a relationship.

It'll be difficult to get that idiot to confess again, won't it?

After all, he has so many girls around him now, and things like holding hands and kissing are probably commonplace for him. Ms. Shiina, who thinks she has no feminine charm, has no confidence that he could make that guy fall for her and confess his love again.

"A direct, forceful kiss...? But that's still not enough, is it? Should I take the initiative and do something even more outrageous?"

She was too shy to ask Yawata Kairin for help, and after hanging up the phone in shame and anger, she suddenly felt very regretful.

……

The corridor lights gradually came on.

Kazami Mei, finally back in Yokohama from Shinjuku, rubbed her temples wearily as she walked along the asphalt sidewalk back to the entrance of her apartment building.

This apartment building, "Chicken and Dog Jumping," located in Yokohama Ward, is illuminated by warm lights even at night, giving you a subtle sense of coziness when you return home late at night—a feeling that cannot be matched by spacious luxury homes.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Kazami Akira did not choose to move even after achieving financial freedom.

Kazami Mei glanced at the time on her phone and muttered to herself in a weak voice, "Is it almost nine o'clock already?"

Today's date with Ms. Hailin was a bit of a hassle, and when they parted ways, Hachiman Hailin wasn't going to let him leave so easily.

It has to be said that Ms. Hailing, whom I once considered a 'good brother,' was like a completely different person after she actually started dating.

The ice beauty, Ms. Hailing, is always as calm and composed as ice, but inside she harbors a completely opposite, burning passion. No matter what, she always wants to take the initiative with Kazami Naruto, and even her kisses are a domineering and plundering type that is both firm and gentle.

"It's getting late, let's go back, wash up, and go to bed."

Normally, Kazami Naru would probably rush to finish the artwork and try to complete the new work before the start of a suitable art exhibition.

As a newcomer, he is still relatively unknown, and most of the art exhibitions he is qualified to participate in are for ten-generation newcomers, which means he is compared with those newcomers who have debuted in recent years.

While it might take some time and effort to complete Kazami Mei's artwork from his peak period, he is now undoubtedly an "old hand" in terms of painting skills.

If he were forced to compete against those peers who had gained fame through media hype or who had been labeled geniuses since childhood...

This feeling is still somewhat subtle.

Stepping onto the rusty metal stairs, accompanied by the creaking sound of metal scraping against metal, Kazami Naru, now relaxed, headed towards the innermost room on the second floor.

But he stopped before he even reached his doorstep, because he could faintly hear some familiar shouts.

"You told me on Line that Mingming was at your house, Su Shishi, but when I got there, I couldn't find her at all! And after I realized what was happening, you just blocked me?!"

"You weren't home at all! Where were you?!"

"Hmm~? Why do I have to tell you? Running away isn't considered running away as long as you're not caught... Didn't you say that yourself, Aine-chan?"

The constant chattering and arguing coming from the direction of his front door instantly woke up Kazami Mei, who was already feeling tired and sleepy. When he realized who the two girls at his door were, his frantically working brain immediately understood the situation.

I was thinking that Su Shi was being so honest today, even though she had already gotten information out of him, she didn't come to find him.

So you were waiting here?

Standing at the door, Chihaya Aine felt her breathing become a little rapid. She bared her little tiger teeth and glared at the scheming woman in front of her, who had a calm and demure demeanor. She had believed Nagasaki Motoyo's lies and taken a car to her house, only to find that the woman was not home at all, nor was her boyfriend.

She also said that Mingming's misunderstanding about Nagasaki Motoyo not answering her calls turned out to be a classic case of luring the tiger away from the mountain!

"Luckily, I reacted quickly enough and came straight to Mingming's door to wait for him to come back! Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that Su Shishi was plotting such a despicable thing."

"So you really are planning to wait for Ming to come back, then find an excuse to go in, saying something like 'Mom's not home tonight, I'm so scared' and just stay there, right?!"

Nagasaki Motoyo was amused by her words. Although Chihaya Aine was completely like a love-struck idiot in front of Kazami Mei, her IQ would suddenly rise when she caught her tail, and even if she wanted to hide something, Kazami Mei would guess it completely.

Now that this rare plan has been interrupted, her mood is at its lowest point.

"Aine-chan, how dare you say such a thing~ Are you trying to say that you were waiting at the door just to catch me?"

"Well!"

Miss Aine was speechless after being hit hard by Nagasaki Motoyo's words, and the canine tooth at the corner of her mouth froze in mid-air.

"Don't think of me as so shallow. My feelings for Mingming are very pure! Unlike some people... who have nothing but those kinds of thoughts on their minds."

Chihaya Aine has a huge advantage: she's as thick-skinned as the Wall of Mary. She's the type to be brazen even when she's in the wrong. Even if her intentions are exposed, she can still shift the blame without any guilt. In such situations, she can actually stand on the moral high ground.

"Aine-chan, you really dare to say that~"

Ms. Suze spoke in a sweet yet soft, awkward voice. Her dull blue eyes, as lifeless as still water, were fixed on Ms. Chihaya's face. Her forced smile made Chihaya Aine shudder. A nameless fear and chill crept up her spine and neck.

However, she knew that if she showed fear at this moment, she, as the "official girlfriend," would lose!

"Could you two please explain this a little?"

As Kazami Mei emerged from around the corner, her words, tinged with a subtle emotion, caused the two girls who were arguing not far away to simultaneously tremble.

"Ming, Mingming?! Why did you suddenly come back?"

"..."

The two girls truly took the word 'face-changing' to the extreme. Both Miss Suze and Miss Aine softened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their instantly diminished aura almost made Kazami Mei think that the argument that had just occurred was just an illusion.

Kazami Mei certainly wouldn't bother asking what the two of them were arguing about, since she had already heard everything clearly from the side.

After all, Miss Su Shi and Miss Aine are natural enemies and their personalities clash.

Given the previous incident during their training camp, Kazami Mei was genuinely worried that their 'argument' would escalate into a 'women's fight,' otherwise he probably wouldn't have stepped in to stop it so quickly.

"Anyway, please come in first."

……

How could such a small sofa possibly accommodate two such large figures like you?

Sitting in the middle, Kazami Mei stared stiffly ahead, feeling the intentional or unintentional gazes of his two girlfriends on his left and right. He felt an invisible pressure on his shoulders increasing.

In particular, a certain expressionless Miss Su Shi secretly extended her index finger and intentionally or unintentionally drew circles on the back of his hand.

This wasn't some gentle flirting; it was clearly her way of expressing anger.

"So first, let's talk about why you two are arguing in front of my house?"

“If you’re waiting for me at the door, you can just call me. That way, I can hurry back as soon as possible. Otherwise, it’s not very nice to keep you waiting.”

Nagasaki Motoyo and Chihaya Aine both froze at the same time, their eyes instinctively shifting towards the corner.

In reality, they each had their own ulterior motives. Since they were waiting at the door, they certainly wouldn't reveal the surprise in advance. However, they bumped into each other while waiting at the door, which put the two of them, who already had their own thoughts, into a troublesome situation.

In addition, Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo already knew that there was a spare key for the Kazami family placed under the cucumber bonsai.

If the troublemaking vixen wasn't there, they could use the key to enter the house naturally, and then secretly prepare a surprise inside. If Kazami Naruto asked them about it later, they could just say that they wanted to see the cucumber but "accidentally" found it.

Unfortunately, this woman was also present, and neither side dared to reveal this information in front of the other.

Kazami Mei had no idea what the two silent people were thinking. She simply sighed inwardly and continued, her voice tinged with weariness—

"If this happens again, just come in. My spare key is always kept under the cucumber plant. What if you catch a cold waiting outside in this weather?"

"..."

They already knew this information.

The two remained silent for a long time, neither of them speaking first. The air in the room was as heavy as a practice room after the rain.

But Chihaya Aine, who was a bit impatient, finally couldn't hold back any longer. She deliberately acted pitiful and said aggrievedly, "It was Naruto who hung up on me, and said you would explain it to me properly later... But I waited for so long and you still didn't explain it clearly, so I couldn't help but come to find you directly..."

A perfect reason, without any flaws.

"I'm so sorry, I was planning to contact you, Aine, as soon as I got home."

"..."

Nagasaki Motoyo remained silent with a cold expression, an unusual behavior that made Chihaya Aine feel somewhat strange.

Normally, Nagasaki Motoyo would either start to expose her in a sarcastic way or show a gentle smile that she had never seen before, demonstrating her thoughtfulness as a 'girlfriend'. But today, there was absolutely no movement.

This, in turn, made Chihaya Aine inexplicably wary.

Perhaps it was because Miss Suyo's anger was too obvious, Kazami Mei immediately noticed this and gently helped to comb her hair. Then, he tried to soften his tone and said softly, "So, Miss Suyo, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Ming should explain to me properly who that woman is."

Nagasaki Motoyo played with the curls at her temples with a blank expression, as if she were talking about something trivial.

But these words stunned Chihaya Aine, who stared blankly with her mouth agape, revealing her fangs.

Woman, what woman?

62

Chapter Sixty-Two: Such a thing actually happened.

Who is that woman?

Perhaps Chihaya Aine beside her didn't have much of an impression of Yahata Urin, but Nagasaki Motoyo was a completely different story. This black-haired girl, whom she first met in RiNG, almost took her place as the bassist for Mygo.

Nagasaki Motoyo almost missed out on Kazami Mei!

If it were only this, Nagasaki Motoyo might not have cared much, but she really didn't expect that when the two met again, this woman who seemed as cold as ice would try to take Naru away from her. This touched on something that Nagasaki Motoyo could not tolerate.

To be honest, Su Shi is quite dissatisfied right now.

Especially when her actions were interrupted by the aggressive Shiina Ritsuki, she, as the only wife, was forced to watch her husband leave with another woman.

Is this a disgrace? This is an insult!

Nagasaki Motoyo was naturally quite dissatisfied, but that dissatisfaction was only directed at Hachiman Kairin.

No matter how anxious and angry she was inside, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't possibly be angry with Kazami Naruto. After all, her husband's attraction to girls was indeed too exaggerated. This could only be blamed on that vixen who secretly approached her and made improper advances while she, the wife, was away!
