How can my simulation be a real love?

At this moment, Chihaya Aine gradually recalled when Kazami Mei was sick with a fever. At that time, before they had established a relationship, she had slightly 'touched' him while he was unconscious. As a result, she was discovered by Takamatsu Akira with a serious expression. This was probably a sequela left over from that time.

"I really didn't expect to run into you here at the aquarium. Did you just watch the penguin show?"

Hearing Kazami Naruto's question, the gray-haired girl's eyes lit up slightly. She quickly stepped forward, took out a stack of various merchandise from her pocket, and spoke with a serious expression—

"Yes! The penguins are so, so cute... These are limited edition stickers specially provided by Sunshine Aquarium, and this is a collectible penguin stamp..."

Once the girl started talking about a topic that interested her, she couldn't stop. It was as if she wanted to share her joy with her favorite person. She kept taking out all sorts of penguin merchandise from her pocket. Her enthusiastic yet gentle expression made Kazami Mei smile and raise an eyebrow.

But soon the little penguin suddenly realized something, and its gentle expression turned panicked at a visible speed.

"Yes, I'm sorry... I've said a bit too much."

"Today is supposed to be a date between Naruto and Aine-chan, I... I'd be a real nuisance if I stayed here! So... I'll be leaving now..."

The previously fluent and smooth 'penguin explanation' immediately turned into a series of intermittent pauses, and the little penguin standing in front of him lowered its head with a look of fear and self-reproach in its eyes.

As the girl's flustered explanations and apologies faded, her stammering words grew weaker and weaker until they finally came to a complete halt; faint footsteps echoed beneath her feet, like a hare turning its head at the first sign of danger.

This means that if Kazami Mei isn't paying attention for even a moment, the little penguin in front of her will suddenly run away.

Kazami Naruto felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing this. Even though it was Aine's date today, he couldn't let the little penguin be treated coldly.

"It's fine!"

Before Kazami Mei could even offer some words of comfort, Chihaya Aine, standing beside her, hurriedly grabbed Takamatsu Akari's wrist.

"It's not a problem at all, Dengdeng! Since we've run into each other here by such a coincidence, let's just continue our date as a group of three! Besides, I just had a long private time with Ming, and I'm already very satisfied!"

"Besides, if you just leave like this, I definitely won't enjoy my next date..."

Chihaya Aine stared nervously at the self-reproaching Takamatsu Akari, her slightly furrowed brows clearly indicating that her words came from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing this, Takamatsu Akari's self-blame and panic eased slightly, but she still stammered softly, "But...but this should be a date that belongs only to Aine-chan, and I can't get involved no matter what...otherwise it would be too unfair to Aine-chan."

"...It really doesn't matter!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade the other person at all, Chihaya Aine could only look to Kazami Naru for help.

Seeing this, Kazami looked at the silly pink-haired girl beside her with gentle eyes, and then gently reached out to stroke the little penguin's short gray hair. The moment she touched her, Takamatsu Akari quieted down.

Seeing this scene, Chihaya Aine stared wide-eyed in utter shock.

All my words had no effect, yet Mingming simply patted my head and completed the strategy?

"Although it's not very good for me to say this, what Aine just said makes sense."

"If you really mind taking up time that should belong to Aine, then could you bring Aine along on our next date?"

Takamatsu blinked blankly for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

"Hmm... in that case, I think... it's fine!"

"The three-person date has turned into two?!"

Ms. Aine, who was initially somewhat frustrated by the disappearance of her 'alone' time, now felt a sense of 'a blessing in disguise'.

Even if she can't spend the rest of her date alone with Kazemi no Mikoto, if she can have a 'three-person date' with Akari, then the originally planned date time can be doubled! She doesn't feel any pressure being with such a good friend as the little penguin.

If things turn out this way, it will actually make her happier!

Kazami Mei looked at the pink-haired girl's silly grin that seemed to be overflowing with 'joy', and shook her head with a smile, saying, "It just so happens that Aine and I are not very familiar with this aquarium. Could you ask Akari to show us around a bit?"

"Hmm...no problem!"

Gao Songdeng nodded his little head sincerely and earnestly, as if flames were burning all over his body.

"I... I don't know if I can do it well, but... I will try my best!"

After saying that, the little penguin raised the stamp like a tour guide waving a flag, and led the two towards the next area with slightly stiff steps. Taking this opportunity, Kazami Naruto reached out and touched Chihaya Aine's hair, his eyes full of gentleness as he softly spoke—

"As expected of Lady Aine, she easily accomplished what others couldn't!"

"Hmph~ Of course!"

The girl, her small mouth slightly open, revealing her canine teeth, proudly raised her head, her expression one of enjoyment and satisfaction as if she were waiting for Kazami to praise her a few more times.

Of course, Lady Aine has to think about the bigger picture, and besides, she and the little penguin have a very harmonious relationship!

But if the visitor is the cunning 'brown-haired fox spirit' Nagasaki Motoyo, then even the great Aine-sama probably wouldn't be so generous. After all, Nagasaki Motoyo is a wicked woman who will openly run away as soon as she gets the chance!

"Hiss! Wait..."

Chihaya Aine's expression suddenly changed drastically; she suddenly remembered something very important.

If my time alone with Ming turns into a three-person date with Takamatsu Akari, what should I do about the crucial final 'action' tonight?

She couldn't possibly find a way to bring Dengdeng to Ming's house to live as well, could she? That would mean the two of them would be living together...

Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine's eyes trembled. Her fair cheeks turned red, whether from the stuffy air or her inner fantasies. Her slightly pursed lips were even more alluringly rosy, and even the roots of her ears were infected by the red light of the morning sun.

What, what should I do?

Does this mean I really have to be with Dengdeng? That kind of thing… isn't that a bit too embarrassing?!

But now it's hard for me to have such a suitable opportunity. Even if it's another 'three-person date', I'll be facing the same situation. As time goes on, someone will inevitably make faster progress, and they might even have unknowingly progressed to the step after kissing.

No, we absolutely can't wait any longer!

If it's just the two of you, then let's go together!

If she can successfully persuade Tengteng to help with the operation, then given Mingming's doting on Tengteng and her resistance to her, Chihaya Aine's final 'plan' might actually increase its success rate by several levels!

If it really comes to that point, I'd be willing to go first...

As long as it's my 'first time,' I don't care if I'm so embarrassed that I faint in the end!

"Aine, what's wrong?"

Kazami Mei frowned slightly, staring at the girl beside her with a strange look.

How did this pink-haired girl suddenly turn into a human-shaped steamer?

Not only was her entire face unnaturally flushed, but her smooth and beautiful forehead also seemed to be steaming with white mist. If Kazami hadn't been watching her every move closely, she might have suspected that this idiot had come on a date while running a fever.

"No, no, no... It's nothing! Mingming, don't worry about me, I'm perfectly fine!"

"I just feel a little stuffy, yeah... it's just a little stuffy in the aquarium!"

Chihaya Aine stretched out her two small hands and fanned her flushed cheeks frantically, as if she could cool herself down by using the power of her hands.

Kazami Mei genuinely didn't know what was going on with this pink-haired girl, but after all, he had been her husband for a lifetime in the simulation. Even if he couldn't do something like mind reading, he could still make some guesses based on Chihaya Aine's expressions.

This naturally sadistic pink-haired brat is probably thinking of something again.

……

Takamatsu Akari is surprisingly well-suited to be a tour guide.

At first, the girl was worried that she would not do well because it was her first time doing something like this, and even her walking and talking were very stiff and unnatural.

Encouraged by Kazami Mei, she began to try her best. After that, she was able to fluently explain the features of each area and led Kazami Mei and Chihaya Aine to explore the entire aquarium, which was quite large, in the shortest possible time and along the best route.

By the time the three left the aquarium, it was already 3 p.m.

"Hmm~"

Chihaya Aine stretched lazily, then turned her gaze to Kazami Naru beside her: "I really didn't expect this stadium to be so big. Even with Akane showing us around, it still took quite a while, but we took a lot of photos and bought a lot of cute little gifts~"

"It looks like it's getting late to watch the movie. If we wait until the movie ends, it'll probably be past five o'clock..."

At this point, Chihaya Aine coughed lightly and casually asked Takamatsu Akari, "Hey Akari~ are you feeling hungry? We were busy visiting the aquarium at noon and didn't eat much. How about... we go to Akari's house for a free meal?"

Takamatsu Akari nodded somewhat blankly, but her eyes held a hint of worry as she looked at the pink-haired girl who kept blinking at her.

"I...I think it's great too, but Aine-chan...are your eyes uncomfortable?"

"...Cough cough, it's nothing, it's nothing! I just felt like I got some sand in my eye, but see, I'm fine now!"

Kazami Mei stared meaningfully at the pink-haired girl with her back to him. It seemed that his 'premonition' was right. This pink-haired girl's special request to come to his house for a free meal was definitely not so innocent.

But Xiaodeng is also on this date. What could she possibly do in front of her?

Just as Kazami Mei was pondering what to do in this situation, Chihaya Aine, standing slightly on her tiptoes with her hands on her hips, asked in a soft, slightly nervous voice—

"How's Mingming? Can Dengdeng and I come to your house?"

"Of course, it's up to you to decide."

Kazami Mei shrugged and agreed without hesitation.

Even if he knew that Chihaya Aine definitely had ulterior motives, so what? As his girlfriend's request, he naturally had no intention of refusing. Moreover, after what happened with Pochi and Riki, he was very vigilant and could control himself no matter what.

A mere pink-haired creature?

If you dare to invade, I will make sure you suffer a crushing defeat!

Chihaya Aine's eyes lit up slightly upon seeing the first step of her 'plan' succeed. Before she could even feel happy, a soft voice suddenly reached her ears—

"Okay, I want to come too."

The calm and collected words caused the three people present to turn their heads simultaneously. They saw a pair of clear, calm yellow eyes staring at them indifferently. A few strands of azure hair swayed gently in the breeze, and unique punk-style earrings were visible on the exposed white earlobes.

The beauty mark under the girl's right eye was alluring and seductive, as if she could easily steal a person's soul with just a glance.

As Kazami Mei gradually came to her senses, she raised an eyebrow meaningfully and asked in a strange tone, "Ryo, when did you arrive?"

"I was looking for effects pedals at a music store around here when I saw you guys and came over."

A hint of emotion flickered across Yamada Ryo's cold, snow-lotus-like face. A breathtakingly beautiful smile appeared on her delicate features, and her eyes seemed to be fixed on Kazami Mei with great interest.

Even after just a couple of sentences, Mr. Kazami had already guessed what she meant.

Perhaps 'freeloading' was indeed one of Ryo's goals, but in Kazami's opinion, this woman was definitely not that innocent.

Miss Liang is definitely here to get involved.

"You... I remember you're Senior Liang, we've met a few times before!"

Chihaya Aine's tone was clearly somewhat subtle; this bassist from the band "End" had left a very deep impression on her.

The two first met at the entrance of Yuqiu. This woman stood openly at the entrance waiting for her boyfriend to come out, and even made an extremely domineering declaration of ownership. She was a woman with a dangerous level of danger!

However, the other party also surprised Chihaya Aine, because it seemed that the other party had not confirmed a relationship with Meimei.

If things have come to this point and the relationship hasn't been defined, does it mean the other person doesn't actually have those kinds of feelings...?

wrong!

Regardless of whether Yamada Ryo actually had those kinds of thoughts, wouldn't this still affect her final actions that night?!

If the other party discovers her intentions and purpose, won't they also want a share? If it were just Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari, she could barely grit her teeth and accept it, but if there was another person...

Even Chihaya Aine, she definitely wouldn't be good enough!

74

Chapter Seventy-Four: Her Date.

"Ah, hello."

Yamada Ryo, expressionless, turned her gaze to Chihaya Aine beside Kazami Naru. Suddenly, she seemed to notice something and raised an eyebrow slightly.

This pink-haired girl's intentions are far too obvious; she seems to be using the same tricks she's already learned.

However, even when faced with such a 'clumsy' rival, she did not show any hostility. After all, things are different now. After the last incident, Yamada Ryo has calmed down. Even though she and Kazami Mei have not yet fully confirmed their relationship, the 'wall' between them has long since become a thing of the past.

It doesn't matter what the pink-haired girl is thinking, as long as she doesn't actually beat Yamada Ryo to it.

Of course, for Ms. Liang, who is extremely self-centered, letting the other party 'get there first' is definitely not an option.

"..."

Chihaya Aine scrutinized the seemingly emotionless ice beauty from head to toe. From their first meeting, she sensed that the other woman was a formidable rival in love, whose figure and appearance were in no way inferior to hers, and who even possessed an extremely aloof and uniquely cold and elegant demeanor.

The number of girls around Ming has been increasing without him even realizing it.

As the "official girlfriend," Chihaya Aine had to assert her dominance, but she had already used all her strength just to restrain Nagasaki Motoyo.

If more troublesome vixens come sniffing around and approach her, she'll really have a hard time dealing with them.

Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine puffed up her cute little cheeks slightly, then reached out and hugged Kazami Naruto's left arm, her tone becoming more wary as she spoke, "Is it really okay for Ryo-senpai to come to Naruto's house so late? If you accidentally stay too late... your family will definitely worry, right?"

“My family isn’t worried. Besides, if I stay too late, I’ll just sleep at Ming’s house.”

Yamada Ryo narrowed his golden eyes, which shone faintly, and retorted with nonchalant words.
