How can my simulation be a real love?

The punishment of suspending her activities this time is actually more severe than expected.

The 'suspension of activities' without a specified time limit was equivalent to not having his permission. After that, Ms. Nyan was no longer able to perform. In particular, being unable to perform meant she couldn't receive her due salary, which was extremely difficult for a sixteen-year-old girl living alone in Tokyo.

However, Kazami Mei doesn't intend to leave her alone forever.

He decided to find a private time later to talk to this restless Miss Meow Dream alone.

"Of course, suddenly revealing your true colors will definitely make Xiao Mu and Hai Ling uneasy. Hai Ling, why don't you come and stay at my house later? I need to keep an eye on your situation."

"If you feel uneasy, you can come to me and act cute anytime."

Kazami Mei's earnest words startled Toyokawa Shoko, who was standing next to her. She subconsciously looked at Mikasa Hatsuka, whose eyes were also wide open. The two girls seemed to sense the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Should Hailing move there too?

So, living together means you've successfully moved in with Ming?

Only Xiangzi and Chuhua, who hadn't removed their masks, remained frozen in place. Their lovely faces gradually stiffened, and they opened their mouths as if to say something, but in the end, they both held back in frustration.

"I see, although I didn't feel any unease..."

Hachiman Kairin spoke casually with a blank expression, then glanced at Toyokawa Shoko.

"But since you've already said that, I might as well move in with you."

As the fiancée, Ms. Wakaba Mutsu blushed and nodded. In fact, she didn't care what would happen if her true face was exposed, since it wouldn't affect her daily life anyway, and she could be more unrestrained in acting cute with Mei.

Misaki Hatsuka could barely contain her envy, but being a well-behaved girl, she forced herself to shake off the thought and continued, "Since Ms. Yutenji has suspended her activities, what will happen to the upcoming tour?"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Kazami Mei's eyes, but he only spoke after letting out a long sigh—

"If it really doesn't work out, I'll temporarily take her place."

Did all the previous economic gains go to waste? [5k]

The warm orange light in the entryway gradually came on, and the echo of the iron gate closing reached my ears.

Back home, Kazami Mei gently closed the door and looked in front of her. She saw Wakaba Mutsu casually take out cucumber slippers from the shoe cabinet, change into them, and then slowly press the button for the air conditioner's heating.

The humming mechanical sound of the heater starting up gradually blended with the warm light that illuminated the house, completely transforming the otherwise cold and austere atmosphere of the residence and imbuing it with a touch of the warmth of home.

"Finally home. The weather has been getting colder and colder lately."

Exhausted and suddenly relaxed, Kazami Mei slowly closed her eyes. This surprised the composed beauty beside her. She looked thoughtfully towards the living room, then slowly turned her head to look in their direction.

After a moment's thought, she slowly spoke—

"Can I just walk in now?"

"If you want me to carry you in, that's fine too."

A smile appeared on Kazami Mei's face, and he responded to the other party with a teasing tone.

I thought that Hachiman Kairin might show a shy expression like a young girl, but who knew that after Kazami Mei made that teasing remark, she unexpectedly raised her eyebrows, gradually narrowed her dark green eyes, and raised her head slightly, giving her a cold and charming look.

"I see. Then I'll have to trouble you to carry me inside, Ming."

The cool words were spoken slowly, and then Miss Hailing simply stretched out her arms to him.

The expressionless ice beauty opened her chest without any hesitation, and the contrast between her actions and that of a child asking for a hug was too great. Such a sincere ultimate move was too effective on Kazami Naruto, making him unable to help but take a half step back.

Good bro, where did you learn this trick? I'll send Miss Lixi over to learn it too.

"A real hug?"

"How about I carry you in?"

Hachiman Kairin tilted her head slightly, her calm question suggesting she wasn't joking at all, as if Kazami Mei really dared to speak, and she was truly willing to act on her words.

But when Kazami Narumi thought of that scene, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Will that work? Is that even possible?

"Sorry, I was just joking."

"Huh? I'm not joking."

Hachiman Kairin responded with a smile, but there seemed to be a hint of mockery in her eyes.

The two were so well-coordinated that they could understand each other's meaning with just their eyes, even without speaking. It was obvious that Miss Hailing had no intention of hiding anything, which made Kazami Naru take a deep breath.

You can be smug for now, but once you're in my house, you won't even have time to run away!

The conversation between the two startled Wakaba Mutsu, who was walking up the steps to the entrance. Kazami Mei and Hachiman Kairin's 'interaction' seemed different from that of ordinary couples; their interactions gave the impression of being very polite to each other.

However, they had an unusually good understanding.

Ruo Yemu paused briefly, then obediently stood to the side.

Hachiman Kairin moved at an unbelievable speed. After learning from Kazami Naru that she was moving in, she immediately went back to pack two sets of clothes and brought her bass guitar to her house that very night.

Although Hachiman Kairin didn't bring much, fortunately Kazami Naruto had enough foresight.

I had long anticipated that this mansion would eventually have a bunch of 'guests,' so I prepared quite a lot of living necessities so that my good brother could just move in with his bags.

"..."

To Kazami Mei's surprise, Ms. Hailin, after changing into slippers, seemed unusually reserved. In a sense, this was her first time visiting someone else's home, especially her boyfriend's. Even the most straightforward person would have some reservations.

Although Hachiman Kairin did not say anything, Kazami Naru immediately noticed that her actions were different from usual.

"Hailing, just treat it like your own home, think of it as a preview of married life."

"Also, the room I prepared for you is the second one on the right upstairs. If you need anything else, just let me know and I'll take care of it for you... As for now, you and Xiao Mu should rest for a bit. Maybe you can take a shower to relieve your fatigue."

Although these lines are a bit cheesy, they were surprisingly useful to Hailing.

"Newlywed?"

Hachiman Kairin muttered a few words calmly, a blush creeping onto her usually serene and aloof face.

She couldn't help but look at Wakaba Mutsu beside her, and found that the cucumber was also blushing and lowering its head.

She had always thought that she was completely unrelated to the word 'marriage', but she never expected to hear such an overly innocent topic. This made Hachiman Kairin realize that she was in love, and she found it difficult to maintain her usual composure.

"Is that so? Then I'll go take a shower first."

Hachiman Kairin felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter. She thought she needed to take a shower to calm herself down, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if Kazami Mei saw her looking shy.

Ms. Hailing, who casually put down her bass guitar, quickly went into the bathroom. At the same time, Mr. Wakaba Mutsu, who had been expressionless, also blushed and raised his eyes.

"I'll make tea."

With those words uttered softly, the doll-like girl ran into the kitchen in her cucumber slippers, leaving only Kazami Naruto in the large entryway in the blink of an eye.

He glanced subtly in the direction the two had left, a strange look creeping across his face.

What's wrong with me? This feeling that I'm the only one who can't do it.

"I was a little surprised that Hailing wouldn't fall for this kind of tactic?"

Despite their uninhibited behavior as a couple, and the more proactive and assertive one when kissing, this seemingly icy beauty, who always appears calm and collected, is surprisingly powerless when it comes to the word 'marriage'.

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow in surprise, feeling a surge of pleasure.

It's rare to see Miss Hailing like this on a normal day, so it's quite unusual for her to show such a shy side. Kazami Naruto was delighted with her reaction.

No, shouldn't we press our advantage now?

For example, could you just barge in while Miss Hailing is taking a shower? However, she might get angry and take you down. If she really gets angry, she'll probably be a true Hailing native and might completely let go of any concerns.

"..."

With his mind churning with thoughts, Kazami Mei sat on the sofa in the living room. As he pondered, he suddenly felt that something seemed amiss.

He was indeed relatively weak because he had focused most of his attention on work and hadn't achieved anything with anyone. It wouldn't have been a big deal for him to develop his strength in a more cautious way. But now that he had already taken all the food that Hailing could have, did he really have to consider such a problem?

Did all that previous economic effort go to waste?

Now, shouldn't we strike hard?

hum!

Just as Kazami Mei was considering whether he should get up and storm into the bathroom, admiring Ms. Hailin's shy yet annoyed expression, his phone on the tea table suddenly started buzzing. He picked it up and saw that it was a Line message from Ms. Aine.

[Super High School Guitarist ANO: Mingming is so cunning! She hid so many things at Ave Mujica's concert today, but didn't tell me a thing!]

[Ultimate Guitarist ANO: Deliberate Punch.JPG]

cunning?

Kazami blinked in confusion. He had already explained it to everyone after the live performance today, but Aine suddenly appeared at this time, looking like she wanted to argue with him.

What else is he hiding? The invisible hand of laziness?

[Want to be fertilizer?: Hey, Miss Aine, don't slander someone's reputation out of thin air.]

[Super High School Guitarist ANO: Huh?! I'm telling the truth! Mingming played such an amazing guitar solo at Mujica's live today! I knew absolutely nothing about it before, I even thought your skill level was only slightly better than mine!]

[Super High School Guitarist ANO: I don't care anymore! Mingming hasn't taught me guitar in ages, and Mygo is about to do an important live performance, so you have to find some time to teach me this trick!]

[Ultimate Guitarist ANO: I also invited Kita-chan and Ichiri-chan to practice more before the live performance!]

Kazami Mei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Although she didn't have much to do besides drawing, it felt a little strange that Aine would ask her to teach her guitar at this time.

When did she become so studious?

"Something feels off, could it be—"

Kazami Mei recalled Chihaya Aine's usual personality and immediately realized that Chihaya Aine's so-called 'practicing guitar' was definitely a cover-up for her true purpose; it was just a lame excuse.

This is clearly not an excuse used for a 'date,' since only 'practicing guitar' would involve setting up an indoor space. If Kazami Mei were to do a little serious calculation, she would immediately realize that this is practically like having a map of the Yan Kingdom laid out in front of her.

"It doesn't feel like a method Miss Aine would come up with. Could she have some other accomplices?"

Kazami Mei suddenly remembered that Aine had just mentioned 'Pochi' and 'Kita'. The three of them had a very good relationship. If Kazami Mei wasn't mistaken, there was a high chance that it was one of them, or even both of them?

However, since it was his girlfriend's request, Kazami Mei naturally had no reason to refuse.

Even if it rains knives, he'd still go even if it rained black mambas!

Thinking this, Kazami Mei shook her head, then quickly replied to the message—

[Want to be fertilizer? Let's meet tomorrow then, how about we practice at your place again?]

[Ultimate Guitarist ANO: Naruto~Love!]

Seeing that Miss Aine on the other side of the screen was sending a bunch of emojis, making his phone vibrate and buzz, Kazami Naruto couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, and casually...

……

At this very moment, at the Chihaya family's house on the other side.

A pink-haired girl wearing pink and white floral pajamas was lying on the bed, her long, beautiful hair, like cherry blossoms, gently cascading around her. She was staring intently at her phone when her crystal-clear gray eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yay! It worked!"

Chihaya Aine sat up excitedly, then immediately took a screenshot of Kazami Naru's reply and forwarded it to Kita Ikuyo's Line window, where she immediately received a reply.

[Kita Ikuyo: The plan worked! On that day, Pochi and I pretended we had something to do and couldn't go. Now that Naruto has so many girls around him, who knows, maybe one of them will have the same idea as Aine.]

Chihaya Aine pursed her cherry lips and glanced at it a few times before responding to the other person impatiently.

[Chihaya Aine: I know that too! I... I am a little anxious, after all, Soyorin definitely hasn't had a chance to make a move yet, she's probably looking for the right opportunity.]

[Chihaya Aine: I don't want to fall behind her at all!]

[Kita Ikuyo: Anyway, I'll do my best to help you. In this area... I... I have some experience.]

Kita Ikuyo, who always replies instantly, was much slower this time. Chihaya Aine guessed that she might be shy, so she kept deleting and revising the words she had typed, and it took her a long time to send the message.

Chihaya Aine felt a little shy thinking about this, and a strange heat rose in her chest.

It was thanks to her previous precognitive dream memories that she had a fairly good theoretical knowledge of this subject; otherwise, she would have been extremely nervous in this situation. However, Miss Aine's practical experience was still zero.

What will happen then?

Thinking of this, Miss Ai suddenly raised her head, grabbed her phone, and started tapping the screen rapidly.

[Chihaya Aine: Kita, how did you feel at that time?]

[Kita Ikuyo: Eh?! You have to say this too? (Panic.JPG)]

[Chihaya Aine: Of course it's necessary to say that!]

After the message was sent, Kita Ikuyo did not respond for a long time.
