How can my simulation be a real love?

"Eating so much, aren't you planning to sleep tonight?"

"Yeah, I'm not planning on sleeping."

Faced with Kazami Naruto's teasing remark, Yamada Ryo picked up a tissue and gently wiped the crumbs of fried dough from the corner of his mouth. Then, he suddenly moved closer to him and rested his small head on his shoulder.

Kazami Mei's movements became somewhat stiff.

A warm and soft sensation wafted over, accompanied by the refreshing scent of mint emanating from the girl. Suddenly, the two were in direct contact. The usually aloof and quirky Miss Liang was now quietly leaning on his shoulder.

Soft and delicate dark blue hair fell on his shoulders, and an occasional ticklish sensation came from his neck. The warmth from their shoulders leaning against each other made Mr. Kazami a little uncomfortable at that moment.

"...What's going on here now?"

"I'm so full, I can't sit still."

Despite saying this, Yamada Ryo showed no intention of getting up, yet she subtly maintained the distance between them, never taking any further steps and simply keeping a vague, ambiguous relationship.

If Yamada Ryo intended to flirt with him, then this scumbag woman has succeeded.

Since the confession, the two have been aware of their relationship, and they have kissed more than once, which is something only lovers can do. Of course, all of these were one-sided attacks by Ms. Liang.

The two always interact in a straightforward manner of offense and defense, rarely engaging in ordinary intimate gestures as a couple. This is why, even such a simple action from Miss Ryo has left Kazami Naruto somewhat overwhelmed.

"Humph~"

Yamada Ryo raised his phoenix eyes, seemingly having already noticed Kazami Mei's change.

"Ming, how long have we known each other?"

Suddenly, she reached out and began to grope, but her beautiful face remained calm, and her words flowed slowly from her mouth without the slightest fluctuation.

"...It's been about half a year, hasn't it?"

Kazami Mei ignored the woman's restless little hands and responded only with a wistful tone.

Come to think of it, Liang was probably the first girl he truly 'knew'.

Prior to this, Kazami Mei had never established contact with anyone until her one-sided... no, it should be said that their acquaintance in the 'simulator' truly established a special emotional exchange.

"Hmph~ Have you heard of it?"

"In a person's lifetime, they will probably meet about 29.2 million people. The probability of two people meeting during this period is only 0.5%, and the probability of them getting to know each other is 0.3 billion. But in the end, the vast majority will disappear into the vast sea of ​​people."

"I don't care who you are, get off Yamada Ryo right now."

When Yamada Ryo suddenly became serious, she exuded a unique charm, which made Mr. Kazami, who was used to her eccentric personality, feel a little uncomfortable. He could only respond to her in the same teasing tone they usually used to tease each other.

Yamada Ryo seemed to sense the boy beside him stiffen slightly, so he narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, continuing at the same pace—

"I love you."

This time, her words were no longer flat and monotonous; the girl gently rested her head on his shoulder and murmured softly.

This wasn't the first time Yamada Ryo had 'confessed' to him, but this 'confession' carried a completely different weight compared to the previous ones. This emotion seemed to transform into a powerful impact that shook his heart.

Can I unilaterally assume that this is Ms. Liang declaring that she 'can't live without me'?

"Hmm~ Ming can think that way too."

Even though Yamada Ryo had already confessed to him before, Kazami Mei still couldn't help but take a deep breath, not knowing how to respond to her for a moment, and just stood there frozen like Xiao Chu Nan.

It's not that he's too bad.

Even now, after growing up, Mr. Kazami, facing Ms. Ryo, who once disagreed with his ideas and had a proud and strong personality, sincerely admits that she has fallen completely in love with him.

I'm afraid no one in the world could stay calm.

"...Miss Liang, the location you chose for your confession was really terrible!"

"So you're planning to make me confess my feelings to you in bed?"

Her teasing words accompanied her increasingly audacious actions. Mr. Kazami, whose ears were slightly red, simply reached out and firmly grasped her restless, fair hand.

"Don't push your luck. If it weren't for the inappropriate setting..."

"The occasion is inappropriate? So what?"

Yamada Ryo glanced meaningfully ahead a few times, only to see that the girls who had been chatting just moments before had stopped and were staring at them with expressions of anticipation, nervousness, or perhaps blushing.

Kita Ikuyo sat opposite her in a duck-like posture, leaning slightly forward and pursing her lips as if she wanted to say something. As for Ms. Pochi, she simply lowered her head with a flushed face, leaving only Nijika peeking through her fingers while covering her face.

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow, a vague sense of foreboding creeping over her.

Wait, what's going on here?

Hongmen Banquet?

"Ming, didn't I just say that?"

Yamada Ryo remained leaning on his shoulder, but then reached out with her other hand to grab his shoulder. She then glanced at Kita-san in the distance, and a smile gradually spread across her face.

"I'm not planning to sleep tonight either."

The moment these cold words were uttered, it was like the bugle call signaling the start of a full-scale attack.

"Ming! I can't wait any longer!"

The first to act was none other than the radiant Kita-san, who grabbed his other hand without a word, leaving Mr. Kazami, who was usually calm and collected, completely stunned.

"Wait, you guys aren't planning on—"

"It's exactly what Ming thought!"

Miss Pochi blushed and raised her head. Her determined gaze, filled with courage, seemed to give her a boost of strength. She reached out and opened her old-fashioned pink and white tracksuit, activating her enhanced front armor to visually shock Kazami Naruto.

I'm praising you for finally becoming a 'hero', not for letting you jump into the face of a monster with 2500 attack power!

"I'm here for the victory celebration banquet, what do you want?"

"Croak! Rainbow Summer, save me!"

Why are there four people, Buhou!

"Ming, I'm sorry!"

The gentlest of them all, Ms. Nijika, quickly bowed and apologized. Then, without hesitation, she joined the plan to end the band, using the powerful arm strength unique to drummers to control his movements.

Despite being the second lightest and shortest member of the band, Ijichi Nijika's slender arms are surprisingly strong due to her long-term drumming training!

Oh no, the angel halo has turned black!

"Don't worry, Ming, we'll bring you endless joy!"

"So...so what should we do now?"

"I...I have a little experience."

While Kita Ikuyo and Iji Tomoka were still discussing in their excited state, Ms. Pochi had already shyly raised her right hand, but Ms. Ryo was expressionlessly directing the overall situation.

"So, who comes first?"

Miss Liang's aloof words caused the three girls to blush and exchange bewildered glances.

Kita Ikuyo was so excited that her ears turned bright red. She just blurted out instinctively, "No, isn't it Ryo-senpai?"

"The first thing we need is sufficient preparatory work. For example, for our 'performance,' we need to run around contacting livehouses before and after the performance. We also need to consider all aspects before the performance takes place."

“Pochi is now the strongest among us.”

As the 'Guitar Hero', Goto Ichiri possesses hard skills completely different from what she appears to have. Not to mention, whether it's her seniority, experience, or pure 'ability', she is much stronger than the other three present, so it's only natural that she would be entrusted with important responsibilities.

"Wait, Pochi, you're not talking about last time—"

Upon being caught, Kazami Naru immediately recalled something and looked at Goto Ichiri with a surprised expression. He truly hadn't expected that Nozue-san, who was timid like a small animal, would dare to tell the rest of the band about such a thing!

Miss Pochi blushed and nodded, then took out a preamplifier to boost the power of the guitar.

Kita Ikuyo stared intently ahead, then glanced furtively at Yamada Ryo beside her and asked in a questioning tone, "So, Ryo-senpai, will you be the first one on stage later? The bassist's skills should be on full display at this time?"

"No, I have to be the grand finale for you all."

Yamada Ryo spoke expressionlessly, then casually grabbed Nijika, whose face was flushed red.

"That's about it, Hongxia."

"Wait, wait, wait...?"

Completely at a loss, Ms. Nijika was half-pushed and half-pulled over. She had just been watching Goto Ichiri from the side and was already burning up. Now that Ms. Ryo had pulled her over without any politeness, she was so flustered that she couldn't even think straight.

“Hongxia, you are the leader of the band’s end. At this time, you should set an example and take the lead.”

"I don't recall the team leader needing to do that!"

Yamada Ryo completely ignored the blushing tour leader, simply placing his hands lightly on her shoulders, and then, under the watchful gaze of Nijika, he pressed down slightly with a blank expression.

Chapter 132 The Cat Only Wants to Eat Matcha Parfait [5k]

Kazami Naru's train journey back to Tokyo was delayed by about two days compared to the original schedule.

The band's debut performance was a perfect success, but the so-called "victory celebration" afterwards took a completely different turn, and in some ways it could even be described as a bit too bizarre.

The train sped along the steel tracks on its return journey. As Kazami Mei emerged from the restroom, she rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He truly never expected that what should have been a pleasant band retreat would turn into this rather peculiar journey.

"I'm so sorry! Ming, you can go back to your seat first. I need to get ready!"

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

A shy call came from behind him from Kita Ikuyo, which made Kazami scratch his cheek awkwardly. He responded softly and stepped forward, returning to his seat on the train first.

Sitting next to him was the angelic Miss Hongxia. She blushed slightly upon noticing his return, then feigned a nonchalant smile and spoke—

"Shh~ Be a little quieter when you come over, Liang is sleeping very soundly right now!"

Is she asleep?

Kazami Mei then noticed that Yamada Ryo, who was sitting directly opposite him, was now using the stiff-bodied Ms. Pochi as a soft cushion, with her head resting on Pochi's lap and falling into a deep sleep.

Her steady breathing caused her chest to rise and fall slightly. Only when she closed her eyes and fell asleep did she truly reveal the charm of an ice beauty. Her serene and aloof face was as exquisite as a painting.

Miss Liang kept her word; she really didn't get much sleep.

Perhaps it was also a little bit of 'revenge' on her part. Having been rejected by Kazami Mei many times, she finally seized this opportunity and decided to vent all her previous dissatisfaction in one go. This woman also bears a lot of responsibility for delaying her return to Tokyo until today.

Thinking of this, Mr. Kazami's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness. He then simply took off his coat and covered the wretched woman with it. Only after doing this did he breathe a sigh of relief and then slowly sat down next to Miss Angel.

"I'm so, so sorry!"

Ijichi Nijika clasped her two small hands together tightly, closed her eyes, and looked at Kazami Mei with an apologetic expression, which made Kazami Mei inexplicably laugh.

“Hongxia, you’ve apologized to me countless times these past two days. Didn’t I already say that I could roughly guess how things would turn out, and I’m not really angry with you guys?”

A faint smile appeared on Kazami Mei's face, and he simply waved his hand gently.

They made such a conspicuous mistake that they revealed a lot of flaws even before the performance. How could Kazami Mei, who has a keen eye for observation, not see where their problem was?

"That's true~ However, because of this, Naruto was delayed in Suwa City for two days! Now he has to rush back to finish the preparations for Shoko and the others' live performance, and in addition, Naruto hasn't had much rest these past two days."

"But it's okay! I'll prepare more food when I get back. Eating well is essential for good health!"

At this point, Ichiji Nijika's face flushed instantly. She gently pinched her slender fingertips, stammering and not daring to raise her head. Her guilty and shy appearance almost made Kazami Mei feel a surge of excitement again.

Now you've remembered this? You know, they were fighting in a ring!

There is absolutely no restraint!

The original plan was to take the train back to Tokyo on the fourth day of the training camp, but the night before was spent at a crazy after-party after the band finished their training. The next day, the girls were so exhausted that they could barely walk. How could they possibly carry their luggage and rush back to Tokyo immediately?

However, he does bear some responsibility for it.

Seeing this, Kazami Mei simply raised her eyebrows slightly, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and said, "That's true~ In that case, give me a kiss and I'll forgive you, Nijika."

"Eh?"

Ichi Nijika blinked in surprise, then blushed and pecked him on the lips.

They had only confirmed their relationship two days ago, but now Miss Angel's actions were already much more skillful than at the beginning. In fact, it could be said that even a certain 'threshold' had been significantly raised as a result.

Sitting opposite, Goto Ichiri watched them with a sense of normalcy. Even the most timid Pochi started to become bolder, though it was unclear whether her courage came from performing on stage.

"Sorry, I got back a little late..."

With her face flushed as if drunk, Kita Ikuyo took a deep breath, returned to her seat with a sunny and sweet smile, and then naturally sat down next to Ms. Pochi.

Ichi Nijika was just about to greet her when her bright red eyes trembled slightly.
