How can my simulation be a real love?

She couldn't even bear to think about that kind of scene!

That's incredibly daring. How could she possibly do something like that?

"Hmph~ It's precisely because of Ming's 'subjective impression' that you, Hongxia, would never do such a thing that the destructive power of this plan is multiplied, making it the most perfect trump card."

Yamada Ryo raised her head with a smug look on her face, admiring herself for coming up with such an invincible plan.

"No, as expected of Senior Liang!"

"Although it might feel a little embarrassing, it's definitely a great method!"

Kita Ikuyo's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but start clapping for Yamada Ryo. Her reaction made Iji Tomoka's eyes widen in disbelief. She gently shook her head, revealing the bright red ear tips hidden in her hair.

"How...how could this possibly be possible?"

"Little Pochi, you also think this is a bit unreliable, right?"

Ijichi Nijika couldn't help but look at Goto Rokuichi for help. Miss Pochi, who always wore a pink tracksuit regardless of the season, was slightly taken aback. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she recalled the scene of her 'confession'.

To be honest, back then she used her sex appeal to seduce people—

"Actually, I just felt that it might be useful?"

"Wow! As expected of Pochi."

Seeing that Pochi had chosen to stand on Yamada Ryo's side, Iji Chi Nijika felt extremely embarrassed. Her pupils trembled, and even without looking, she knew that her face must be as red as a furnace, because she felt like her head was about to burn.

What, what should I do?

How should I confess my feelings?

Chapter 124 This is a miracle from the gods [5k]

After packing their luggage, it was free time. Kazami Naruto had already discussed the details of the performance with the store manager, and now the implementation of the specific details was basically handled by LiveHouse. His work was also almost finished.

From now on, it can be considered his "vacation period".

Because the band 'End' has gradually grown up, even if Kazami Mei, as their manager, doesn't actively supervise them, and Iji Chi Nijika, as their leader, leads everyone in training, he can have more time to rest.

When everything was settled and evening had arrived, the dinner prepared by the hot spring inn was quite sumptuous. The girls were all engrossed in the delicious food, and he also enjoyed a relaxing dinner that he hadn't had in a long time.

Logically, after dinner time should be the time to enjoy the hot springs, but Kazami Mei had no intention of returning to his room. He went to the hotel entrance, changed into comfortable canvas shoes, and planned to do something during this time.

Just as he was about to leave, he bumped right into Hongxia, who was carrying snacks and drinks.

"Eh? Ming-san?"

The blonde girl, clutching a bag of snacks, tiptoed slightly. She hadn't expected to bump into Kazami Naruto, who was about to leave, at the hotel entrance. Perhaps she suddenly remembered something, a hint of panic flashed across her face.

"Ning, is Ming-san planning to go out?"

“I’m planning to go to Lake Suwa because the artwork I’m going to submit to Ms. Lan for the exhibition at the end of the month isn’t finished yet… I’m going to find a quiet and comfortable environment to see if I can find some inspiration.”

Kazami Mei noticed the snacks and drinks in Ijichi Nijika's arms and asked curiously, "Nijika, are you planning a 'training' party or something tonight?"

"That's because Kita-chan insisted on having a pajama party for girls... Speaking of which, isn't Naru-san planning to go to a hot spring? This inn is famous for its warmth! It's said to really relieve all your fatigue!"

spa?

Upon hearing the word, Kazami raised an eyebrow thoughtfully, and then slowly said, "I'm not in a hurry to soak in the hot spring. I'll soak in it after I come back from the lake later."

"Is it bad for your health to soak in the water too late? Now is the perfect time!"

“After all, you see… if you take a bath too late, it’s easy for dampness to get into your body, right? It might also affect your sleep quality. It’s a rare opportunity to come to Nagano Prefecture for a ‘training camp,’ so Naru-san wants to relax a bit, right?”

Ichiji Nijika's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat. She hurriedly raised her head, trying to change Kazami Mei's mind, but the more anxious she appeared, the stranger she seemed to Kazami Mei.

Why does it seem like Hongxia really wants him to go to a hot spring?

Kazami Mei looked at the blonde girl in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes. His gaze made the girl's delicate face blush instantly. She subconsciously lowered her head and even looked away guiltily.

"..."

Kazami Mei raised his eyebrows in surprise, his keen observation immediately sensing that something was wrong.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Could it be that Miss Liang secretly came up with some terrible idea and then coerced and bribed Hongxia to help carry it out?

It's not impossible; after all, Miss Liang is indeed capable of doing such a thing.

Mr. Kazami, whose mind was working quickly, simply nodded thoughtfully, then chuckled and said, "If it really doesn't work out, I can soak in the hot spring tomorrow. Nijika, you should enjoy the hot spring with everyone. You can leave the practice for tomorrow."

"Then, I'll go out for a short walk first."

Seeing Kazami Naruto smile and prepare to turn and leave, the girl, who was in a panic, didn't have time to think. She subconsciously handed the snacks and drinks in her hand to the old lady at the hotel reception, and then immediately reached out and grabbed his clothes.

Before she could even think, her body had already taken action.

"Hongxia?"

Kazami Mei turned her head back with some confusion.

The blonde girl behind him reached out and gently pinched the hem of his clothes. Her slightly white fingertips seemed to be afraid that he would leave if she let go. With her head down, she seemed to be trying to prepare something.

Just as Kazami Mei was about to say something, Iji Chi Niji Natsu slowly opened her mouth—

"That, that!"

"I've heard that Lake Suwa is a very famous tourist spot, and I was thinking... since I've come all this way to Suwa City, the lakeside might be quite beautiful at night..."

Ichi Nijika felt her face burning with embarrassment, but she still desperately mustered the courage to stand there. Recalling what Yamada Ryo had said to her, her body involuntarily began to move.

She would definitely regret missing this opportunity.

When she witnessed Kazami Naruto's car accident, she was filled with intense fear and regret. She was afraid that he would leave her and regretted that she hadn't had time to say anything in the end.

The words hidden deep in my heart never had a chance to be told to him.

When Ming reappeared before her in good health, Ichiji Nijika felt it was an unrepeatable miracle.

“I also want to go for a walk with Naru-san, let’s go to Lake Suwa…”

"May I?"

A blush, like the morning glow, quietly spread across the girl's delicate cheeks. Her small, thin, cherry-colored lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes, full of expectation and trepidation, shyly looked ahead. This scene was deeply imprinted on Kazami Mei's eyes.

Kazami Mei's breathing became somewhat disordered.

It was only then that he finally felt the charm of Ichichi Nijika again. In front of the gentle girl who was as beautiful as an angel, even he, who was no longer the same as before, was now somewhat powerless to resist.

He gradually realized that he really couldn't handle Miss Hongxia.

……

In stark contrast to the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, Suwa's streets are warm and tranquil, with the occasional passerby exuding a leisurely, slow-paced atmosphere, and the distant streets stretching out to the vast lake.

Staying in this city seems to calm a restless mind.

Kazami Mei slowly narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant lake. The seemingly boundless azure water filled the far horizon. A cool breeze brushed against his cheeks, and even the most turbid thoughts were purified by the fresh air.

Wow, it's surprisingly not bad!

"..."

A hint of nervousness flashed in the eyes of the blonde girl wearing white sneakers, and her small hands behind her back clenched tightly with fear. At the same time, she felt a lingering anticipation, which made her steps become more active.

You actually said it?

Suddenly telling Ming that she wants to go with him seems a bit odd, right? It's a private moment between the two of them, and it was she who initiated the invitation.

Thinking about it carefully, isn't this no different from directly telling him 'I have other motives'?

"Well……"

The girl following behind Kazami Mei seemed to be emitting wisps of white smoke from her head, and scalding steam was constantly filling the air. Usually, she could easily find topics to talk about, but now she had fallen silent.

I absolutely have to say something!

Think about it!

“Hongxia, I should thank you.”

"Eh?"

The girl, who had originally planned to initiate a conversation, paused slightly. The black-haired boy standing in front of her had shoulder-length black hair that fluttered in the cold wind. His handsome profile, not hidden by his scarf, was striking, with a faint smile playing on his lips.

“When I was in the car accident, I caused you a lot of trouble.”

"Causing trouble? No, I didn't do anything at all..."

Ichiji Nijika's words, as sweet as a honey pear, were tinged with stiffness. Recalling how she had knelt beside Naruto, desperately trying to help but unable to do anything, that intense feeling of powerlessness was still unforgettable.

He should thank her? She had no reason to be thanked by him at all.

Looking at the girl's ashamed expression, Kazami Mei couldn't help but smile and said—

"You held my hand tightly at that moment, trying your best to help me."

"But...but I didn't do anything."

"That's enough for me~ Not to mention that it was you, Hongxia, who called the ambulance. You handled all the initial procedures and have been staying at the hospital ever since."

Ichiji Nijika scratched her cheek, seemingly a little embarrassed. At that moment, she had no other thoughts. Her gentle red eyes reflected the moonlight, and her ears, hidden in her blonde hair, were slightly red.

"But I never expected that Hongxia would cry like a little kitten for me. I'll probably remember this scene for the rest of my life."

"Hey~ Forget about that scene already!"

Ichiji Niji Natsumi, her face flushed, waved her little fists beside him, but Kazami Mei just smiled and kept dodging.

Recalling the angel-like girl kneeling beside him, constantly dropping little pearls, a gentle look appeared in Kazami Mei's eyes. Completely ignoring Nijika, whose face was flushed red from his teasing, he chatted about the details of what happened back then.

A distant breeze swept across the calm water, gradually creating ripples that never ceased to spread.

The blonde girl, with her hands behind her back, let out a long sigh of relief. Perhaps it was because of the joke that Kazami Mei had just made to lighten the mood that gradually dissipated the tension and worry that filled her heart, like smoke dissipating into the air.

A gentle smile appeared on the girl's lips.

That's true, I really cried a lot back then.

That accident terrified her. It was a 'natural' and 'ordinary' fact that Kazami was by her side, but because of that car accident, she truly felt the sadness and fear of being separated from her by life and death.

I almost, I almost never saw him again.

Ichi Nijika simply couldn't imagine that scene.

She dared not think about what it would be like if Kazami Mei couldn't be by her side, nor could she imagine what would happen if something really happened to him. She only knew that her heart would be shattered, and she would never forget this regret, even until she died.

"...Perhaps this is a miracle from the gods."

"Huh? Hongxia, what did you just say?"

Kazami Mei looked at the blonde girl behind her with some confusion. As she murmured to herself, a gentle smile gradually appeared on her lips. Her angelic face was bathed in the pure moonlight, and her golden ponytail shimmered with starlight.

He seemed frozen in place, unable to tear his gaze away from the girl's face for even a moment.

"I've thought of something... something really, really happy!"

For Ichi Nijika, this was a hard-won 'miracle'.

She was able to see Kazami Mei again, hear his voice again, see his warm smile, and feel the warmth that belonged only to him; only then did she have the opportunity to tell him the feelings, love, and gratitude hidden deep in her heart.

Ichi Nijika no longer wanted to regret or hide her feelings.

It's only natural that I would like him, right?

"Hmm? What's so happy about it?"

A smile appeared in Kazami Mei's eyes as he asked with great interest.

"It's a 'dream'?"

Upon hearing this, Ichiji Nijika did not hide anything. She simply smiled and showed her cute little white teeth. Her bright red eyes gradually narrowed and transformed into the bright silver moon hanging high in the sky.

"It is a very happy dream that belongs only to me."

A faint smile played on the girl's lips. Her hands, clasped behind her back, seemed to hold a cassette tape of memories. The beautiful memories from that 'dream' kept flooding her mind, causing her to involuntarily close her eyes.

In that 'dream', her mother seemed to still be smiling. She opened her mouth towards Ichiji Nijika's direction, as if saying something with a face full of expectation. Even though she couldn't hear her mother's voice, she immediately understood what her mother meant.

When you meet someone you like, don't let yourself have any regrets.

The moment the girl opened her eyes again, her eyes were filled with determination.

"In my dreams, I am a very willful and spoiled child."
