How can my simulation be a real love?

"She always overly relies on a certain boy by her side, and when she encounters setbacks, she is so weak that she cannot stand up on her own. She always enjoys the love of the people around her, but she can never take a step forward."

"Even so, I was not abandoned. That boy... even if he had to give up everything, he would still desperately hold my hand."

Kazami Mei stared blankly ahead, his dark pupils gradually contracting.

The blonde girl, with her hands behind her back, took a step forward. The pride and tenderness in her eyes seemed to solidify into a tangible form. Her bright golden ponytail swayed in the moonlight with her movement, and a bright and warm smile appeared on her face.

"The boy in my dream, is that actually Ming?"

Kazami Mei's breath caught in his throat at that moment, and he understood everything in that instant.

It turned out to be the case.

Is that really the case?

Knowing full well what was going on, Mr. Kazami slowly closed his dark eyes. He couldn't help but look at the frozen simulator panel in his mind. At this moment, his guesses were like gears being pieced together, gradually answering the long-forgotten questions.

He gradually recalled his memories of that 'simulation', and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"You actually dreamed about me? Looks like I hold a pretty high place in your heart, Hongxia?"

"Then...of course he has a high status! Ming has helped me so much, he has become a very important person in my heart...it's only natural, right?"

The girl's face, which had been full of gentle smiles, turned bright red instantly. She frantically waved her little hands, trying to explain something, but she understood the meaning behind what she had just said.

It had nothing to do with anything else; she... simply fell completely in love with Ming without even realizing it.

Ichi Nijika was well aware of what she had just said. Being shy, she found it difficult to take the initiative to utter words of 'confession'. So, as a pure and reserved girl, she wanted to be a little more willful and express her feelings in a subtle way.

She just wanted Kazami Mei to know that she liked him very, very much.

This is no longer a 'hint,' but an 'explicit statement,' isn't it?

If you've already sensed my feelings, then stop pretending you don't know!

"Yes, that's perfectly normal."

Kazami Mei stared at the blushing blonde girl with a half-smile, admiring her shy yet courageous face that kept 'hinting' at her. The emotions hidden deep in her heart were overflowing uncontrollably.

The woman before him, Ichiki Nijika, shared the same 'memories' as him.

The boy and girl standing here are actually a couple who have been together for a lifetime and grown old together. Even if Kazami Mei never knew this until the end, his feelings for her were unshakable and he would never give up holding her hand.

Not to mention, he now understands completely.

Then it became even more impossible for him to let go of the hand he was holding.

Kazami Mei decided that she had to take responsibility for her no matter what.

"……Well!"

Seeing Kazami Mei's unyielding attitude, Ichiji Nijika even began to doubt whether she hadn't hinted clearly enough. Her face flushed red with a hint of resentment as she looked at the blockhead in front of her, anxious and at a loss for what to do.

She's already gone this far.

If Ming still doesn't understand, then she'll have to show it through her actions!

Thinking of this, Ichiji Nijika hid behind Kazami Mei, out of his sight, and patted her fair cheeks hard with both hands. She decided to continue 'confessing' to Mei until he finally realized what she wanted to say!

"Ming, that—"

"Hongxia, come and take a look."

Kazami Mei, suppressing a laugh, waved towards the angel girl. The girl was puzzled but subconsciously walked over. However, she blinked and was still confused because she didn't know what Mei wanted her to see.

The next moment, Kazami looked up at the sky.

The dazzling Milky Way was filled with dreamlike flowing light, and the stars that filled the sky surrounded the unique bright moon. His eyes only glanced at the beautiful moon for a moment before locking onto the girl's delicate and beautiful profile.

"Tonight, the moonlight is so beautiful."

"……Eh?"

The girl was clearly stunned for a few seconds, then her face turned bright red and her eyes widened.

"Would you be willing to make miso soup for me for the rest of your life?"

The pure white and soft moonlight was like a wedding dress as thin as a silkworm's wing, its silvery halo shining on the girl's smooth and beautiful golden hair. The girl gradually widened her red eyes and stared blankly ahead, meeting the gaze of the black-haired boy who was grinning mischievously not far away.

Ah, I see.

The thought involuntarily popped into her mind. With her hands behind her back, Ichiji Nijika gently pursed her cherry blossom-pink lips. She reached out and gently rubbed her fair, flushed cheeks. The rising temperature of her face made her afraid to lift her head.

"Make, make miso soup or something..."

"Of course, no problem! Provided that Ming doesn't mind."

She was somewhat unsure.

Ichi Nijika could hardly suppress her pounding heart. She tried to cover up her nervousness with her usual playful and lively jokes, but in reality, she had lost most of her ability to think, and his two sentences kept echoing in her mind.

So happy, so happy, so happy...

The warmth in her heart traveled to her limbs with the flow of blood from her heart, and Ichiji Nijika felt her whole body was warm. On the lakeside, where the air was filled with the frost of winter, she did not feel the slightest bit of cold.

Kazami Mei couldn't help but chuckle.

Even though Ichiji Nijika had been trying to get him to confess from the very beginning, he's now confessing in a way that's almost blatant, just like Nijika. As the one being confessed to, Nijika is the one who's getting shy.

Oh no, she's fooled the psychic.

"..."

After pondering for a moment, Kazami Mei did not respond to the girl.

Hmph, pretending to be an expert by not saying a word.JPG

His jet-black hair swayed in the breeze over the lake. The boy raised his eyebrows and looked at the distant lake. His sudden silence made Ichiji Nijika blink, and her heart began to panic.

Huh? Why, why did you suddenly stop talking?

Could it be because of my 'perfunctory' attitude just now that Ming mistakenly thought I didn't like him?

Miss Hongxia was extremely nervous. Her hands trembled slightly as she gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, and even her breathing seemed to become disordered. A strong sense of loneliness and fear was welling up in her heart.

"Ming, that—"

Just as Ichiji Nijika was about to explain, Kazami Mei, who couldn't help but laugh, slowly turned his head. The usually unserious man revealed an extremely rare serious expression, his dark eyes filled with certainty and solemnity.

"Hongxia, I like you."

This time, he was no longer reserved.

The resounding and powerful words struck the girl's heart like a heavy hammer blow. At that moment, all her inner turmoil, unease, hesitation, and chaotic thoughts were shattered by those words!

Ijichi Nijika clearly hadn't expected him to suddenly throw out such a direct punch. The words she was about to say to explain were immediately stuck in her throat, unable to come out or come down. Her frustrated expression almost made Kazami Mei burst out laughing.

Oh no, it seems like I'm already laughing.

"Ming!"

The originally nervous girl naturally noticed Kazami Naruto's barely suppressed laughter. The clever angel immediately realized that he was deliberately teasing her, and in a fit of embarrassment and anger, she stretched out her two little pink fists, puffed out her cheeks, and kept pounding his chest.

These weak little fists were no different from a massage, but Kazami Mei still immediately pretended to beg for mercy and kept dodging.

"I was wrong, I was wrong! I won't do it again!"

"Humph!"

Ichi Nijika couldn't help but let out a soft snort. Seeing him beg for mercy, she quickly stopped her little fist. Before she knew it, she had almost thrown herself into Kazami Mei's arms, but the extremely innocent girl was miraculously not shy.

The tension and unease that had been lingering in the girl's heart all this time seemed to have vanished with that "confession."

"Honestly! Ming is always bullying people, and he even teases me like this..."

"Hey, you can't say that."

Kazami Mei's face immediately became more serious, and he said in a serious tone, "What you just said, 'I like you,' was not a joke. I would never joke about something like this."

"...!"

Ijichi Nijika blushed instantly as she clenched her little fists.

She was used to his usual carefree attitude, so his sudden seriousness left her at a loss for what to do.

Seeing the girl blush and lower her head, Kazami Mei said with a smile, "I have already said everything I was thinking. Now it's time for Miss Nijika to say what she thinks."

"What's your answer?"

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl's face with a smile. He was quite interested in how the shy Nijika would respond to what he said, and he prepared to listen carefully to what she had to say next.

But his expectations seem to be dashed.

The blonde girl, whose face was almost touching his chest, slowly raised her head. Her wine-red, lively eyes were like burning, leaping flames, containing deep emotions and determination. She was gazing intently at his face.

She took a deep breath—

"I like you."

"I've been hopelessly in love with you for a long, long time... Even when I'm sleeping, my mind is filled with images of you. I try to suppress it, but I can't help but steal glances at you, even just at your profile, and I can stare at it for a long, long time!"

Finally, I said it.

All the emotions that had been hidden in her heart for who knows how long were finally expressed. It was as if dazzling fireworks were blooming in the girl's heart. Her heart felt warm and slightly burning, and she was so immersed in this heartfelt joy that she could not extricate herself.

Ming has already come to this point, how can she still be shy?

One must express one's own feelings.

"..."

The girl's clear and bright eyes radiated pure emotion, and the firm words she uttered as she raised her head were full of strength, causing Kazami Mei, who had originally wanted to see her shy side, to momentarily lose the initiative.

Is this Nijigasaki?

Miss Angel is a little too great; he can't wait to go to Heaven.

Everyone has to go to heaven eventually, and right now he felt time was speeding up.

Kazami Mei's momentary stiffness seemed to have alerted the girl, and her burning red ear tips peeked out from her blonde hair.

But the girl still mustered her courage and tiptoed closer to his ear.

"Can I hug you?"

If someone can withstand that, they'd be a god.

Anyway, he really couldn't handle it.

Without hesitation, Kazami Mei stretched out his arms and gently embraced the girl.

He felt the warmth and softness of the girl in his arms. The lively and cheerful petite girl was so light and graceful. Her body felt like a soft marshmallow that he could easily pick her up. He could faintly feel her heartbeat against his chest, and he gradually noticed her disordered breathing through his exposed neck.

Ichi Nijika's eyes gradually became hazy. This gentle yet unimaginable power was covering her entire body. A wave of intense energy, like a violent storm, crashed down on her, leaving this seafaring sailor dizzy and disoriented.

This was the first real hug between the two.

Before this, Ichiki Nikka had always kept a certain distance from him because she was afraid that she would fall into this tenderness and be unable to bring herself to leave.

In retrospect, she was right.

This kind of tenderness, once experienced... is something you can never escape.

"Please, have a seat for a moment?"

Having barely regained her senses, Ijichi Nijika could only frantically raise her hand, as nervous as a student asking a question.

Her head felt like it was about to explode.

That hug had completely captivated Ichiji Nijika, as warm and comforting as a cotton quilt on a winter morning, making her reluctant to leave. If she continued to immerse herself in his warmth, she didn't know if she would ever come back to her senses.

Seeing his appearance, Kazami Naruto found it somewhat amusing and gently replied, "I remember there should be quite a few benches around here, so let's go sit over there?"

"...Ah, um!"

The blonde girl, her cheeks flushed, sat properly on one side of the bench, then gently patted the spot beside her with her small, white hand. This action made Kazami Naruto unable to hold back her laughter.

But his smile made the girl even more flustered.

Why are you laughing?

"Sorry, sorry, it's just because Nijika is so cute."

While apologizing, Kazami Mei slowly sat down next to the girl. Although the two were just sitting on a bench by the lake at night, the blonde girl next to him sat upright with her two small hands neatly placed on her thighs.
