How can my simulation be a real love?

A look of surprise flashed across Kazami Mei's face, and her movements as she held the coffee and milk stiffened slightly.

Kita Ikuyo clenched her small pink fists, which she held to her heart. She raised her beautiful eyes, which seemed to radiate starlight, and a few strands of bright red hair swayed in the air with her bright red side ponytail.

In the blink of an eye, she bumped into Kazami Mei's arms.

The girl's sudden hug made Kazami Mei take a half step back, and she almost dropped the glass milk bottle in her hand. Then, she smelled the girl's faint fragrance, and in the moment she was pulled into her arms, she could almost feel the heat of her skin under her yukata.

It was clearly a girl's playful pounce, but the effect was somewhat subtly indescribable.

“…Yu Dai, you almost sent me flying with that blow.”

The impact wasn't the soft touch I'd imagined; instead, it felt like hitting a steel plate. Kazami guessed this was probably because the girl's ribs had hit me directly without any cushioning...

Before, at least there would be the movement of her bra, but now she's wearing a yukata.

"How could that be?! That was my girlfriend's hug!"

Kita Ikuyo's tone suddenly became more surprised. Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she couldn't help but lower her head to look at her front armor, which was as solid as a steel plate, and there was no movement under her cute red and white yukata.

In an instant, her star-like eyes turned lifeless.

"Guo, so Ming is like that too? You really do like girls with big breasts like Boqi..."

"My frail physique, which is even worse than a child's, is unlikely to arouse Ming's interest at all, right?"

Normally, Kita Ikuyo is a super sunny and beautiful girl who shines brighter than the sun. But now, she just clutches her chest with lifeless eyes, her self-deprecating words and a gloomy atmosphere of frustration enveloping her.

She had just been shocked by Miss Pochi's words at the hot spring, and now she couldn't help but think about it in that direction.

Seeing the girl's dejected expression, which resembled a withered rose petal, Kazami Mei's eyes only flashed with a helpless smile. After all, the more sunny a girl seems, the more exaggerated her demeanor will become when she suffers a setback.

In the current situation, ordinary words of comfort are probably not very helpful.

"Yudai."

Kazami Mei's soft call was as deep and penetrating as a bass guitar, instantly startling Kita, who was in a state of self-doubt and depression. She subconsciously raised her head and looked in this direction.

It wasn't until the girl looked up that a smile gradually appeared on Kazami's face. He slowly extended his fingertips to gently stroke her damp, bright red hair. When she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, he instead pinched her smooth chin.

Taking advantage of her momentary daze, he kissed her slowly and swiftly.

"……Well!"

Kita Ikuyo's face turned bright red instantly after her mouth was gagged, but by the time the two separated, the gloom on her face had completely disappeared.

Actually, she preferred this forceful approach more than she realized...

Seeing her reaction, Kazami Mei found it somewhat amusing, and then asked in a guessing tone, "Let me guess~ Yudai, is it because you're a little jealous of Nijika tonight that you came out early to find me alone?"

"Well--"

Miss Kita, whose thoughts had been instantly exposed, trembled slightly. After a long silence, she could only nod gently with a blush on her face.

There was no way around it; she was genuinely a little jealous.

"It's because Mei didn't get close to me much during this 'training trip,' and then he invited Nijika-senpai to go for a walk by the lake alone, even though she's your 'girlfriend'! Now that I see you getting close to other girls... of course I can't stand it!"

Since Kazami Mei had already guessed her thoughts, Kita-san, with her straightforward and cheerful personality, naturally wouldn't hide it any longer. Instead, she openly revealed all her feelings, her tone tinged with a hint of bitter jealousy.

Seemingly to express the slight dissatisfaction in her heart, the girl gently rubbed her smooth chin against his chest, boldly wrapping her two small hands around his waist, with an expression that said she would never let go, even if it meant death.

Looking at the girl who was clinging to him like an octopus, a hint of doting flashed in Kazami Mei's eyes.

"The super cute JK Yudai is right, I did neglect your feelings, and as an apology, I should make it up to you—"

A hint of apology lingered between his brows, then his expression gradually turned serious, and he spoke frankly to the girl: "Yudai, what do you want now?"

"Wh...anything is fine?"

Kita Ikuyo suddenly felt her breathing quicken. She gently tiptoed and snuggled into Kazami Mei's arms, her soft face pressed against his chest like pudding, her bright, clear eyes fixed on him.

Even if Ryo-senpai catches her sneaking away later, Kita Ikuyo feels that this moment is worth it!

"Of course, only within the appropriate scope."

Kazami Mei gently poked the girl's forehead with her index and middle fingers, and her short sentence brought the extremely excited Kita-san back to her senses.

The so-called 'appropriate' category naturally refers to the normal range. With Kita Ikuyo's impulsive and reckless personality, if no one was there to stop her after hearing Kazami Mei's words, she might have run towards home plate without a care in the world.

However, this statement doesn't seem to have much binding force on Ms. Kita.

"Please, anyway, first of all, Ming, please pin me against the wall hard...!"

Faced with his girlfriend's strange request, Kazami Naruto's face showed a strange expression. He looked at Kita-san's face, which was flushed with excitement, and took a deep breath before slowly setting off.

Kazami carefully protected her, then found an angle to press her hard against the wall.

"Is this okay?"

"Hey! More, more brutal! The more vicious the better!"

The girl, pressed against the tiled wall, had her clothes disheveled, and her pure white shoulders, as white as fresh winter snow, were gradually exposed to the air. She simply covered her cheeks with a blush, and her already excited tone reached its peak at this moment.

"what?"

No, ladies.

Kazami Mei never expected Kita Ikuyo to be so excited about something like this, especially since she particularly liked his less-than-gentle treatment. This strange fetish made his eyes gradually develop a subtle look.

You get so excited about being treated roughly? Do you draw two cards just because you lose health?

"...I...I can't take it!"

"Don't worry about my feelings, Maing... just bully me!"

Overly excited and thrilled Kita Ikuyo was a little tipsy. She felt her blood vessels burning all over her body, and her soft, delicate face was covered with a flushed red, as if she were drunk. She was beginning to lose control of herself.

Her messy, damp red hair was indistinguishable between sweat and the steam from the hot spring; her exposed neck skin was as white as if it were glowing; her chest began to rise and fall due to excessive excitement, and her disordered breathing made her appear inexplicably sentimental.

The girl couldn't help but reach out and cup Kazami's cheeks, her eyes glazed over as she kissed her without a second thought.

"Yudai."

The ambiguous emotions that had been building up to the point of spiraling out of control were suddenly shattered in that instant by an extremely cold aura. The words that entered her ears were cold and carried a chill, like a bucket of cold water thrown over her head in the dead of winter.

Even Kita Ikuyo, whose body was burning with passion, instantly calmed down upon hearing that cold yet familiar voice. Her mind, which had been racing, turned to look at the distance with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Liang...Liang Senior?"

A cold wind whistled past her face, and Yamada Ryo, dressed in a blue and white yukata, was already standing next to the vending machine. Her cold, indifferent golden eyes calmly watched them, causing Kita Ikuyo to feel an instinctive fear.

Why did Senior Liang appear so quickly?!

Upon seeing the other person, Kita Ikuyo immediately calmed down. Only then did she realize that she had been too excited and seemed to have accidentally overstepped her bounds. She almost couldn't help but pull Kazami Naruto closer to her!

This is clearly a major taboo—running away without permission!

"cold?"

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow in confusion.

The sudden appearance of his ex-wife, Ms. Ryo, actually caused Ms. Kita in his arms to show such a subtle expression. But shouldn't Ms. Kita be the one who truly established a romantic relationship with him?

Could it be that too many simulations have caused his memories to become confused?

Kita Ikuyo, who has the legitimate status of being the 'girlfriend,' now encounters Yamada Ryo, who is the 'friend,' but she shows an expression of guilt, like a mistress who has run into the real owner and been caught in the act.

Yamada Ryo merely glanced in Kita Ikuyo's direction, then casually raised his eyes and spoke to Kazami Naru—

"Ming, we're going to have a pajama party in the room next."

"Do you want to come along?"

Kazami Mei could vaguely sense the coldness in Ryo's words. With a subtle expression, he slowly said, "Forget it, forget it. This is, after all, a social party for you girls, right? I won't make a special trip over. Besides, I'm planning to go to bed early tonight."

I've only just started dating Miss Hongxia, so I need to give her some time to process it.

"is it?"

Yamada Ryo's tone remained calm, and she only took a step forward after Kazami Mei refused. Then, under Kita Ikuyo's horrified gaze, she gently grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from the wall.

"Then, I'll take Yu Dai there first."

"Wait...wait! Senior Ryo!"

Kita Ikuyo, feeling guilty, was on the verge of tears. She wanted to turn back and ask Kazami for help, but given the current situation, she was completely in the wrong for sneaking away without permission, so she could only show a bitter expression.

Is it still useful for her to apologize now?

Two girls, one in red and one in blue, one hot and one cold, walked away down the corridor. As their figures gradually disappeared around the corner of the hotel, Kazami Mei picked up the coffee milk that had just been temporarily placed on the ping-pong table and drank it all in one gulp.

"..."

BYD, I almost couldn't resist just now.

Once Kita gets excited, she doesn't care about the occasion at all. Even in the hotel corridor, she dares to launch an attack without any restraint. In particular, she is so proactive that it is unimaginable. Kazami Mei almost couldn't hold back and took her right there and then.

"Never mind, let's double-check the performance arrangements."

Kazami Mei could only suppress the heat in her heart and strode towards her room.

Given the current situation, it will be difficult for him to sleep for the time being.

……

The next day.

To avoid making mistakes due to unfamiliarity with the venue on the day of the performance, the band performing naturally needs to rehearse at the venue before the official 'live' performance.

After finishing their lunch, Kazami Mei led the group to the performance venue.

LiveHouse——[Moriya].

This LiveHouse is the most famous live performance venue in Suwa, and naturally, it also boasts the largest performance space. It can easily accommodate thousands of audience members at the same time for a single live show, making it a well-known and established live venue.

"Amazing……"

Wearing small leather shoes, Ijichi Nijika's mouth dropped open in surprise. This LiveHouse called [Moriya] was comparable to RiNG in Tokyo, not to mention STARRY in Shimokitazawa, and even the venue was several times larger.

"We're actually going to have a concert in such a prestigious place? I... I always felt like only really popular bands could perform in places like this?"

Kita Ikuyo seemed a little uneasy, and spoke with some uncertainty in her tone.

"Actually, the 'End Band' area in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo is already saturated, and we have a certain degree of fame in Tokyo. It's just that our popularity is limited by the fact that CDs and albums have not been fully released yet. We are actually a well-known band now."

"In short, you don't need to be too nervous."

Kazami Mei's words of comfort eased the tension of the others somewhat, but they were not very effective on the pink Tsuchiya. She had been so shocked when she saw the LiveHouse that she had fainted while standing.

They looked like gatekeepers in an RPG game, standing motionless, completely stunned.

"Ming, how much will tickets cost for such a large live venue?"

"...You'd better be a little more nervous."

But when faced with his criticism, the blue-haired girl in the loose-fitting long dress only showed a smug smile.

Kazami Mei couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yamada Ryo, then shrugged and said slowly, "It's not our rehearsal time yet, so let's take advantage of this free time to wander around inside and check out other bands' live performances."

"Speaking of which, there's a famous band performing at this LiveHouse today. I think their name is something like 'Wind'... but the lead singer is a very talented girl. I think her name is... East Wind Valley?"

In conclusion, music is one of the best ways to convey emotions.

Instead of letting them wander around this huge LiveHouse aimlessly and adding unnecessary tension, it would be better to take them to see other bands perform. Perhaps after watching a few shows, they should be able to get into the zone and calm down quickly.

Of course, he has other options if all else fails.

Chapter 128 Miss Yu Dai's skill level needs improvement [5k]

The result was largely the same as what Feng Jianming had guessed.

Kita Ikuyo, who always stood at the front, quietly lowered her head. Unlike usual, she didn't show much activity today. There was a reason for this, in Kazami Mei's opinion, it was probably because of the live performance just now.

The bands that can perform at Moriya naturally have a certain level of skill, not to mention that the band performing at this live show is famous for its lead singer's singing ability, which will certainly put pressure on Ms. Kita, who is also the lead singer.

After that, they will be holding live performances!

To hold the band's first performance in such a prestigious venue, facing hundreds or even thousands of audience members!

Audiences at this LiveHouse are used to high-quality performances, so they are naturally more discerning in their selection of bands.

Just the thought of being compared to the bands here put an invisible pressure on them, like shackles binding their bodies.

If they were just an ordinary band, they would probably be starting to worry or even get anxious by now, right?

"..."
