How can my simulation be a real love?

"Naraka-kun, look~ I've even taken off my mask!"

The gentle, smiling voice subtly suppressed a faint expectation, and the playful emotion, conveyed by the girl's smile, reached Kazami Naruto's heart, lingering and entwining in the center, seemingly stirring his emotions little by little.

The Triangle Hatsuka is beautiful; this isn't the first time Kazami Mei has had this thought.

Even the most beautiful girl would only catch his eye a couple of times, but Mitsukazuki's importance in his heart only increased over time. She remembered all the little details that ordinary people would hardly notice.

When a girl goes to such lengths for herself, even the most hardened heart would find it hard to withstand the power of persistent dripping.

Kazami Mei slightly raised her head and stared intently at the girl in front of her.

"Chuhua, your hair is getting longer and longer!"

"This... I hope to keep it at my waist."

Amidst her artfully styled, shimmering golden hair, the girl's fair earlobes were already a deep red, exuding an alluring, intoxicating glow that tempted one to take a bite.

At this point, Misaka Chuka paused for two seconds, then confidently raised her head to meet his gaze. His image was reflected in her captivating, star-like eyes, shimmering like crystal.

"Because Ming likes girls with long hair."

The slightly rising tone of her voice revealed the flame deep within the girl's heart.

Kazami Mei stared at Misaki Hatsuka in front of her. Her sudden words were still reserved and shy, as if it was quite difficult for her to say that word directly, or perhaps she was simply afraid of being rejected.

If they don't say those words, they can continue to get along as 'friends'; but if they do say them, they might not even be able to be friends anymore, and their relationship will break down because of the 'rejection'.

“I know that Ming doesn’t actually like girls with long hair, it’s just that the girl he likes happens to have long hair… but I’m doing this to confirm my own feelings.”

"I know that some things cannot be proven by words alone."

Unable to speak frankly, she is constantly pushing her own limits.

Under Kazami's gaze, the girl took a step forward with all her might. As she slightly raised her head, she inadvertently revealed a perfect angle, embellishing her poem with the girl's gentlest smile and pure love from the bottom of her heart.

“I thought I could endure it forever, even if it was just being ‘friends’ with Ming for the rest of my life.”

"As long as I can be by your side, it doesn't matter what my status is, because that's not the most important thing to me..."

The girl stood with her hands behind her back, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"But I found that I really couldn't stand it."

"I can't suppress my feelings for Ming. I want to stand openly by your side! I don't want to be your 'friend.' I want to live with Ming in the future, shop together, and chat together..."

"I was too greedy, wasn't I?"

Kazami Mei gazed at the self-deprecating blonde girl, a faint smile gradually appearing on her face.

But before he could respond to her feelings, the triangular Hatsuka in front of him spoke again—

"Greed is something I can't help, because I've already lost control of myself."

"After all, I've been here for a long time—"

"I've already fallen hopelessly in love with you."

Her empty heart was filled by him. Despite living alone in Tokyo at a young age, she always appeared strong on her face. But she was just an ordinary girl, and it was inevitable that she would fall in love with a boy she could rely on.

Sankaku Hatsuka extended her right hand toward him, a beautiful smile blooming on her face.

"I don't want to be 'Friend A' anymore. Can I become... Naruto's 'Lover C'?"

A popular idol who is used to speaking reservedly in the idol industry has now actually spoken up and made the most direct confession to him.

"Miss Hatsuka, who has the sole title of 'idol,' I wonder how many people will be jealous of her."

Kazami Mei smiled helplessly, then gently took the girl's outstretched hand. Before the girl could react to her great surprise, she was pulled directly into his arms.

Their lips met in a passionate kiss.

"..."

Beside the fountain in the distance, a petite blue-haired girl stood there blankly.

110

Chapter 110 Toyokawa Shoko's Loss.

He lowered his gaze.

A feeling of lightness, like a feather, lingered in her senses, and a faint blush quietly spread across the girl's pretty face. Even though she tried to suppress it, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart. What might be just a simple confession to an ordinary couple was of extraordinary significance to her.

Sanjiao Chuhua couldn't help but recall the past.

At that time, she was timid and insecure. When faced with rejection, she would only wallow in self-pity and despair. She never dared to express her feelings to him in person. After her veiled confession was rejected, she could only immerse herself in the vortex of exhaustion and loss.

Even so, she still longs for the most ordinary kind of interaction.

Before meeting him, Sanjiao Chuhua had long been accustomed to experiencing hardships alone. But after personally experiencing his kindness and tenderness, she could never go back to the strong and independent days of the past. She simply wanted to touch warmth and approach that harbor that could shelter her from the wind and rain.

"..."

The girl raised her head shyly and looked at the boy in front of her with serious eyes.

From that moment on, she was no longer the person she once was. She no longer believed that everything was her own fault, nor did she belittle herself by thinking that she was unworthy to be Xiangzi's rival or that she had no right to pursue the person she liked!

This time, she took the initiative to stand on tiptoe.

Feeling her strong, powerful heartbeat, the shattered pieces in her heart were finally pieced back together little by little. A gentle and beautiful smile gradually appeared on her face as she continued to search for the warmth she had never had time to feel before. No one would stop her anymore.

Kazami Mei's eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected Chu Hua to have such an attitude beneath her serious exterior.

But he wouldn't push her away; he would simply stroke her soft, golden hair.

After a while.

"..."

Kazami Mei reached out and gently patted her back, bringing the engrossed Hatsuka back to her senses.

"I'm...sorry, I think I went a bit too far!"

Coming to her senses, the girl shyly covered her cheeks with her hands. The idol who was cool and charming on stage was now just an ordinary high school girl, immersed in the nausea and joy of her first love.

Kazami Mei could understand the other person, after all, she herself could also get carried away sometimes.

"It's not that I think it's bad, but it would be troublesome if someone saw us."

"After all, Chu Hua, you are a well-known idol, especially now that you're showing your face."

Upon hearing this, Sanjiao Chuhua gently nodded her head. Recalling the deep kiss she had just shared, a light blush of peach pink quietly spread across the girl's bare face, and her soft skin glowed with a crystalline halo under the warm neon lights.

She gently clenched her little fist and began to speak with great interest—

"Now I'm not afraid of being seen by anyone, because I'm already an idol in love!"

"Besides, this square is quite remote; hardly anyone comes here usually."

At this point, Misaka Hatsuka subconsciously looked around, but just as her gaze passed over Kazami Mei's left shoulder and looked toward the fountain on the other side, a hint of azure was instantly reflected on her mysterious retina.

The smile on Misaka Hatsuka's face vanished abruptly.

Standing not far away, Toyokawa Shoko stared at her blankly. Misaka Hatsuka, who was originally immersed in the atmosphere of the successful 'confession', was now instantly covered by fear and tension. She could only stare at the distance with her shocked eyes.

"...Xiao, Xiaoxiang?"

"Xiangzi?"

Upon hearing this, Kazami Mei suddenly turned around, and his eyes met those of the blue-haired girl in the distance.

Even though the other person was more than ten meters away, Kazami Mei's excellent eyesight allowed him to clearly see the girl's pale and bewildered expression, which was as fragile as a piece of porcelain, filled with exhaustion and disbelief.

Oh no, it's me.

Why is Xiangzi here?

"..."

The girl standing by the fountain stared blankly at the two people not far away. Her slender white fingers, which had been clenched into fists, had somehow loosened and hung down on either side of her delicate body like a mechanical puppet. Her proud waist could no longer stand upright.

How could it be, Chu Hua?

Shoko Toyokawa has experienced time loops again and again in her 'dream,' and so far she has lost time and time again. She thought that her heart was strong enough to not be afraid of any difficulties and that she could face everything in front of her with the most open-minded attitude.

But now, she can't take it anymore.

"How is this going?"

The girl's wide amber eyes trembled violently. Even when she had just learned that Wakaba Mutsumi, the 'half-soul,' had become Naruto's fiancée, and that her former best friend Takamatsu Akari was also one of his girlfriends, Toyokawa Shoko had never experienced such intense emotional fluctuations.

"Chu Hua, how come... it has to be Chu Hua?"

Toyokawa Shoko was well aware that Chu Hua was her rival in love.

However, Mitsuka is also one of Toyokawa Shoko's closest old friends. Even though he said some hurtful things to Mitsuka in reality, Mitsuka, as a friend, was always gentle, whether in 'reality' or 'dream'.

Of all the reincarnations that Toyokawa Shoko experienced in her 'dream', only Hatsuka was a friend who never 'betrayed' her even once.

Even Hachiman Kairin, who is uninterested in anything, Takamatsu Akari, who seems to know nothing about 'love', or Ritsuki, who is stubborn and indifferent, and Mutsuki, who is half of her soul, each of them destroyed her courage.

Shoko Toyokawa thought that only Hatsuka Mikasa was a friend she could truly trust.

"Why, why did it turn out like this?"

She worked tirelessly and relentlessly to pursue her goals.

For this reason, Toyokawa Shoko forced herself to sever ties with the band she had personally formed and her best friends; even though her love for Kazami Mei was about to overflow, she still forcibly suppressed that emotion and focused all her energy on achieving her future goals.

She just wanted to experience love and happiness like any other girl, so why did things turn out this way?

"..."

When Toyokawa Shoko, who had persevered to this day, saw the boy she loved, hot tears streamed down her face like a burst dam. She kept reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but instead, they soaked the back of her hands and cuffs.

She tried desperately to control herself, but the tears just wouldn't stop.

"Xiao Xiang!"

Chu Hua stepped forward, her face full of worry and regret, ready to explain. But her words seemed to send a signal, and the disheveled and aggrieved Feng Chuanxiang stared wide-eyed in bewilderment before quickly turning and running away.

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko was about to run away, Chu Hua, filled with guilt, hurriedly said anxiously—

"Mingjun, hurry... hurry and stop Xiaoxiang!"

"It's all my fault that she's become like this. I... I shouldn't have been in front of her no matter what... Naruto has to go and win her back!"

Toyokawa Shoko had never shed a tear in front of her before, so her current state naturally had a strong visual impact on Misaka Hatsuka. In her panic, Hatsuka even lost her most basic composure and blamed herself for all the mistakes.

"This is not Chu Hua's fault."

Kazami Mei frowned deeply, but he simply pulled the girl into his arms tightly.

In his view, the problem should be his fault.

He hadn't expected Miss Xiangzi to appear at this time, and he hadn't immediately tried to persuade her. If he had told Xiangzi about everyone's situation earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Calm down first, Chu Hua, you have done nothing wrong."

Kazami Mei's gentle embrace lasted only two seconds, but it gradually calmed the anxious and helpless girl down. Her trembling purple eyes, which had been churning with emotion, also softened little by little. However, she could not easily let go of the guilt she felt towards Toyokawa Shoko.

"Thank you, I've calmed down now."

"Mingjun, don't worry about me now. Hurry... hurry up and go find Xiaoxiang, okay?"

Seeing the girl in his arms return to her original form, Kazami Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his head to look in the direction she had left.

The pale blue figure had begun to blur.

Kazami Mei truly hadn't expected things to develop this way.

"That's right, I need to apologize to Xiangzi first."

His mind was also somewhat chaotic, so he temporarily suppressed the jumbled thoughts, because now was not the time for him to think about anything else. Before reflecting on his mistakes, what he needed to do was take action and stop the problem from escalating as quickly as possible.

After settling Chuhua in, he had to immediately set off to stop Xiangzi.

Miss Toyokawa has a rather stubborn personality, and Kazami is worried that something might happen to her.

"Chuhua, find a place to wait for me."

"I'm going to chase after Xiangzi now, and I'll bring him here later!"

After saying that, Kazami Mei turned around without hesitation and chased after the girl in the direction she had left. Only Hatsuka, who was still standing there with her hands on her chest and a worried look on her face, watched him gradually walk away with tense eyes.
