How can my simulation be a real love?

Takamatsu Akari, who had been waiting for a long time, gradually focused her amber eyes. From the conversation between the two girls, she roughly understood the current situation. With her thoughts becoming more serious, she raised her head, pressed her chest, and then suddenly stood up and walked to the two girls.

"I also hope that we can all get along well..."

"If Kita-chan or Ryo-senpai need any help from me, please... just let me know anytime. No matter how difficult it is, I will do my best!"

The little penguin's eyes were full of determination and solemnity, which clearly stunned both Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo.

However, Kita Ikuyo, who had just come to her senses, grabbed the girl's hand with a delighted smile. Her vibrant emerald eyes shone with excitement, and she blurted out, "I also want to get along well with Koharu. Please take care of me from now on!"

"Ah, let's create a group chat first, shall we? I'll add Aine-chan in later!"

With an excited expression, Ms. Kita took out her phone, her brows furrowed with an undeniable sense of joy and relief.

……

the other side.

Kazami Mei pulled the bewildered Chihaya Aine to the ice cream truck, casually asked the ice cream shop clerk for five different flavors of ice cream, and then casually handed one of the fruit-flavored ones to Aine, making the girl blink in surprise.

Is the fruit flavor one of your favorites?

Chihaya Aine looked at the remaining ice creams that Kazami Naru had brought to Kotomi and the others, and suddenly realized that these flavors might be the flavors that the others liked.

"Mingming, do you remember everything that everyone likes?"

"...Isn't this the basics?"

Kazami Mei simply rolled her eyes and stood there waiting for the staff to continue making ice cream.

He didn't intend to dwell on the topic, but instead got straight to the point: "Actually, the reason I specifically called you over, Ai-yin, wasn't just to have you help me get the ice cream."

Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Chihaya Aine's eyes, but she still understood that her tsundere boyfriend wanted to talk to her alone, so she took the initiative to speak up: "I actually guessed that just now~ But Aine, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Could it be related to Senior Liang?

Thinking about it carefully, Kazami Mei and Yamada Ryo have a very good relationship. Although Chihaya Aine is very unwilling, it's true that Yamada Ryo knew Kazami Mei before she did. If her boyfriend were to try to persuade her to let Ryo-senpai come along for dinner, the pink-haired girl could totally understand.

Seeing Chihaya Aine's dazed expression, Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow and said calmly—

You promised me a date at the aquarium, so you have to spend the whole day with me that day.

[He was absolutely forbidden from associating with other women that day, especially Su Shi.]

Hearing these words, Chihaya Aine was clearly stunned, then her eyes widened in surprise and she said, "This...is this what I said to Meimei at the airport?"

"I promised you seriously back then, this is a date with you, Aine."

“If Miss Aine wants to be alone with me, then there’s no need to keep it to yourself. Just tell me your thoughts honestly. I’m planning to apologize to them properly afterward, but when Kodama came over, I didn’t even have a chance to say anything…”

Upon hearing this, Chihaya Aine blushed slightly, after all, it was she who had asked the little penguin to join the date.

But she was really happy, extremely happy!

She had been wondering if her demanding nature as a 'girlfriend' would put Mingming in an awkward position, caught in the middle of everyone. But she hadn't expected that the boy in front of her had already thought so much about it. This kind of heartfelt warmth was something that was hard to feel even with a hug or a kiss.

Chihaya Aine suddenly realized why she liked this tsundere boyfriend so much.

"So, Miss Aine, what are your thoughts now?"

Kazami Mei stared intently at the girl before her, preparing to listen to what she was about to say.

With a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, Miss Aine grinned, revealing her little fangs, and then blurted out, "Hey~ Mingming, would you like to try my fruit-flavored ice cream?"

"...?"

Before Kazami Mei could react, the girl in front of her took a bite of ice cream and then gently tiptoed.

The refreshing and sweet fruity aroma blended perfectly with the girl's softness and fragrance. Kazami Mei stared blankly at Chihaya Aine, who had returned to her original position and licked her lips. Chihaya Aine grinned, showing her white teeth, and said, "How is it? Isn't it tastier than lipstick?"

"I couldn't taste it, let's try again."

"No~"

Chihaya Aine smiled as she held the ice cream, gently licking it with her little tongue.

Under Kazami Mei's gaze, she raised her head with a smile and spoke earnestly—

"Since it's my date, I get to call the shots, right?"

"Let's bring Ryo-senpai, Kita-san, and Koyuki back for dinner! Ah... let's just invite everyone!"

She didn't want Ming to apologize to everyone afterward just to take care of her.

As a well-educated, gentle, and virtuous girlfriend, she couldn't let Kazami Mei be troubled by him!

75

Chapter Seventy-Five: Their First Meeting.

An ordinary 'date' suddenly turned strange.

Kazami Mei sat stiffly in a long table private room at 'Shiba Taisho Ramen', with Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari sitting on either side of her, both grinning foolishly. Kita Ikuyo, who was originally going to pull Yamada Ryo away, sat opposite her.

"Wow~ So we ended up eating at this restaurant anyway?"

Chihaya Aine shook her head slightly and spoke with some emotion, saying that this pink-haired girl was the initiator of this sudden 'gathering'.

Seeing this, Kita Ikuyo, sitting opposite, couldn't help but scratch her cheek and said in a very lively tone, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, if we were to invite the End Band and everyone from Mygo... Naruto's apartment simply couldn't fit that many people."

"This is the only place that's perfect for a gathering!"

At this point, Ms. Kita couldn't help but look up at Ms. Aine, as if they were exchanging information through their eyes.

Kita Yuyo had mustered up the courage to hold off Ryo-senpai who was trying to cause trouble, but Chihaya Aine's attitude changed drastically as soon as she came back from buying ice cream. With a wave of her hand, she smugly invited the two of them to come and eat as well.

Not only that, she even wanted to invite all the members of other bands!

This is a gathering of more than ten people; Kazami Mei's apartment simply cannot accommodate them!

"Well, unless everyone stacks themselves up."

Yamada Ryo expressionlessly extended two fingers, then gently overlapped them in front of Kazami Mei using a strange technique.

This woman is completely different from what everyone is talking about, isn't she?

Seeing this, Mr. Kazami's lips twitched, and he could only helplessly turn his gaze to the silly pink-haired girl next to him.

After all, he had said before that the entire process of this date would be done according to her wishes. Who knew that Miss Aine would invite everyone over without saying a word and hold a 'meet and greet' on the spot.

There are nine girls in just the two bands, End and Mygo.

Kazami Mei recalled her small apartment, which could only sleep two or three people at most, and after thinking for a long time, she finally sighed softly.

After the next FIRST art exhibition, he might as well find a new place to move to.

If it were just Kazami Mei alone, he could naturally stay in that cramped but comfortable little apartment, but now both he and the relationships around him are completely different from what they used to be.

Now, no matter what, he needs to have a super spacious luxury apartment like Miss Su Shi's, big enough to accommodate at least ten people!

Otherwise, if we encounter this situation again, we can't always come to this store, can we?

Kazami Mei was lost in thought with his head down when he suddenly felt a gentle tug on the left side of his clothes. Turning around, he saw a small, soft gray penguin leaning gently against him, its amber eyes, which seemed to be fit for a museum, gazing up at him.

Before he could even speak, the little penguin asked softly—

"Ming, did you invite Xiao Xiang?"

"...Of course I would never forget to invite Xiangzi, but it seems she has some things she hasn't finished dealing with yet, so she probably won't be able to come and join us this time."

Having already invited two bands, Kazami Mei naturally wouldn't forget the members of Ave Mujica.

Putting aside the fact that "Little Wooden Man" Wakaba Mutsu and his "former" brother Hachiman Kairin had already established a romantic relationship with him, the fact that he made Toyokawa Shoko completely reconcile with everyone and put aside past grievances made Kazami Mei highly value him.

The problem is that after much deliberation, Teacher Da Xiang ultimately decided to decline his invitation.

As for the reason, Kazami Mei was of course well aware of it as well.

Shoko Toyokawa is not completely over it yet; she hasn't resolved her own problems.

The black-haired boy reached out and gently ruffled the little penguin's short hair, which was covered in shampoo, with practiced ease. He spoke softly and gently, "Xiangzi just told me seriously that she is very grateful to Xiaodeng for inviting her this time."

"In my opinion, Xiangzi doesn't mean to refuse everyone's invitations, she just really doesn't have the extra time. So Deng, you don't need to worry too much. She no longer cares about her relationship with you."

"Besides, didn't Xiangzi already apologize to everyone properly? As long as we invite her a few more times when she's not busy, she'll definitely be willing to come and get together with everyone again soon."

Of course, this is on the premise that Toyokawa Shoko has already resolved all her own issues.

Xiangzi still cares deeply about Ave Mujica, the professional band she has worked so hard to build. Perhaps it is because she still has enough pressure and responsibility on her shoulders. These external factors are like hard and heavy chains binding her whole body, making it difficult for her to move forward.

As long as these problems are not completely eliminated, Toyokawa Shoko will not be able to relax for a single day.

All these thoughts were suppressed in Kazami Mei's heart. In fact, he had begun to consider how to solve Xiangzi's problem, but for the time being, he had to deal with the problems around him first. He could not relax until then.

However, Kazami's words of comfort were clearly effective, and the little penguin, who had been looking somewhat downcast, quickly cheered up and nodded.

"I will... wait for Xiao Xiang!"

Takamatsu took a deep breath and made a silent resolution in his heart.

She didn't know the real reason why Xiangzi chose to leave the band, but she knew that Xiangzi must have had his own reasons and difficulties. This was a problem that neither Gao Songdeng nor Su Shi could solve, and she seemed powerless to help him either.

But Ming is still there.

All Takamatsu Teng needs to do is trust him and offer his support.

stare--

Just then, Kazami Mei suddenly noticed that Aine, who was sitting next to him, and Kita and Ryo, who were sitting opposite him, were all staring at them.

Sensing something amiss, he rolled his eyes and then spoke in a strange, indifferent tone: "If you have something to say, just say it. Are you trying to hypnotize me by staring at me like that?"

"I'm not a Gengar!"

Chihaya Aine, with her cheeks slightly puffed out, couldn't help but complain. Then she pointed to the adorable little penguin with her finger and then to herself.

"Isn't Dengdeng and I both 'girlfriends'? Since Mingming touched Dengdeng's head in front of me, I should be touched too!"

The pink-haired girl didn't shy away from saying those embarrassingly cute things. After all, apart from the expressionless senior Ryo, the four people present were all "one of us," so she could speak her mind freely.

She sat next to Kazami Naru like a playful puppy, acting cute whenever she wanted and wanting a hug whenever she wanted!

Aine, who was the first to express her emotions, was like a gift from heaven. Kita Ikuyo's eyes also lit up slightly, and she couldn't help but lean forward slightly in surprise, saying, "Yes, yes~ If that's the case, then I want one too! Naruto can't be biased towards anyone!"

Kita-san is such a believer!

Just moments ago, she was blushing and silent, only expressing her expectations with pitiful eyes; now, after Chihaya Aine took the lead in speaking to him in a coquettish manner, Kita followed suit without hesitation, delivering a swift and powerful beating to his face.

Kazami Mei even began to suspect that if someone suggested having a silver party someday, she would blush and be the first to raise her hand in agreement.

Seeing this, Yamada Ryo glanced at Kita Ikuyo with a hint of appreciation, then gave a meaningful smile and said lightly, "Since the others haven't arrived yet, let's sneak around and do it one by one first."

"Isn't Ryo-senpai's girlfriend yet?"

Chihaya Aine made a sarcastic remark with a subtle expression, but Yamada Ryo, who had been exposed, remained completely unfazed. She simply raised her golden eyes and said seriously, "My relationship with Naruto is much deeper, and it is not limited to a complex relationship in terms of spirit and emotion."

"You just mean physical intimacy, right?"

As she continued to interact with Yamada Ryo, Chihaya Aine, who was gradually getting to know his personality, narrowed her eyes and responded casually as if it were just eating or drinking.

Saiyans won't fall in the same place twice!

Just as Kazami Mei's lips twitched and she was about to finally burst out with a retort, the wooden door of the private room was gently pushed open by a slender, fair right hand.

A handsome, icy beauty with gorgeous black hair walked in with a calm expression. Behind her followed a delicate and beautiful green-haired girl who looked like a doll. The sudden arrival of the two of them diverted the attention of the group.

"I'm a little late, has everyone already started?"

Hachiman Kairin's beautiful, jade-green eyes merely swept across everyone's faces before finally settling on Kazami Mei's face as if locking onto a target.

Facing his handsome girlfriend, whose eyes were sparkling, not far away, Kazami Mei paused for two seconds before asking uncertainly, "Hai Ling, when you say 'start,' you mean eating, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Kairin blinked. Even Chihaya Aine, who was furthest away, could see the hint of confusion in her eyes. But then she seemed to suddenly realize something and raised her eyebrows, her expression returning to its usual calm and indifferent state.

"...Yes, I was talking about eating."

That can't be right at all, can it?

Everyone suppressed the urge to blurt it out and kept their words to themselves. Yamada Ryo, sitting to Kita Ikuyo's right, looked at Hachiman Kairin with interest. The other woman seemed to have noticed this as well, so she chose to sit next to her.

Only the little wooden figure behind him chose to sit silently next to the little penguin.

Seeing this, Feng Jianming looked at the other person with a smile in his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Mu, has your aunt agreed to let you control your own time now?"

"Yes, thanks to Ming."

A faint smile appeared on Ruoye Mu's delicate, expressionless face; she was clearly in much better condition than before.
