How can my simulation be a real love?

Ichiji Nijika instinctively began to explain, but her keen observation immediately noticed the other person's tired expression, so she couldn't help but speak with a hint of concern—

"Um... Hailin-chan, are you alright?"

"Ah—you mean this? It's just that I didn't sleep much last night, it's not a big deal." Hachiman Kairin pointed to her dark circles, her handsome, expressionless face now showing a hint of mockery: "Of course, it would be better if you could keep your voice down next time."

"Ooooooooooo!!!"

Immediately, the girl's angry and ashamed cries echoed throughout the 'Kazemi's' house.

……

Time seemed to accelerate and move forward, depending on the girl's mood.

Before they knew it, it was Saturday. With a whole day of free time during the holiday, every band took the opportunity to prepare for their upcoming live performance. However, Ob, the leader of Ave Mujica, openly took the day off.

"Ming~"

A sweet and energetic shout from a young girl reached his ears, causing Kazami Naru, who was waiting under the clock, to turn his head subconsciously. What came into view was a blue arc of light, as blue as the sea, and a sweet fragrance filled his nostrils the moment the delicate body was brought into his arms.

So soft.

This was Kazami Mei's first impression.

"Sorry to keep you waiting~"

The girl who rushed into his arms was Ob... the soft and sweet Xiao Xiang, known as the daughter of the Toyokawa heiress. As she raised her head, she revealed her stunningly beautiful face. Coral-red blush rose to the tips of her ears, and the anticipation and joy in her heart were overflowing.

Seeing her excited expression, Kazami Mei found it somewhat amusing, so he slowly opened his mouth and teased, "Miss Shoko seems to be looking forward to it?"

"Of course I'm looking forward to it!"

Shoko Toyokawa, clenching her little fists, didn't care at all about the 'catchphrase' she had revealed. She slowly left Kazami Naruto's embrace, gently pressed her left hand against her heart, and her amber eyes gradually focused as she looked at him with the most serious expression.

"There isn't a single girl in the world who wouldn't look forward to dating the person she loves most!"

As expected of you.

Kazami Mei felt the gazes around her becoming increasingly sharp. The fact that such a stunningly beautiful girl was making such a formal confession on the street was as devastating as a Kamehameha hitting an anthill, igniting everyone's envy, jealousy, and hatred.

However, Teacher Da Xiang's inner childish spirit was burning brightly, allowing him to utter such embarrassing words with great enthusiasm.

"A chime?!"

Before the girl could finish her lines, Kazami Mei quickly took her soft little hand in his.

"I can't wait any longer, let's get started!"

"Our date—"

Chapter 148 The Silly Young Lady is Kind of Cute [3k]

Perhaps because it was the 'holiday' peak season, there were more passengers in the train car than expected. Looking up, there was a huge crowd of people. Kazami Naru, who couldn't find a seat, chose to lean against the window.

Of course, he wasn't the only one.

The slightly swaying train carriage made a crisp 'clang' sound. Standing in the corner of the carriage, Kazami Mei held onto the iron railing by the window with one hand, while using the other hand to brace against the wall, firmly protecting the girl with the bright blue twin ponytails under her.

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa, her face slightly flushed, nestled in his arms like a frightened fawn.

She secretly raised her eyes to steal glances at his face. Perhaps because she was too nervous, Toyokawa Shoko would occasionally reach out and rub the ends of her dark blue hair, and sometimes she would quietly tug at his collar, as if this would give her a sense of security.

It was clear that she was more excited than usual.

"Xiao Xiang, you've never ridden a tram like this before?"

"Ugh! I... I was found out?"

Shoko Toyokawa immediately pursed her lips in a flustered manner, lowering her gaze as if an embarrassing secret had been discovered. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she pursed her cherry lips, her voice soft and almost inaudible: "It's not that I've never ridden in one, it's just that relatively few times..."

After all, when CRYCHIC was founded, she was a pure heiress who rarely left Tokyo. Later, she only left Tokyo to take a train to Yokohama to see Kazami Mei.

Because this was her first time riding in a car with Kazami Naruto, she couldn't suppress the faint excitement in her heart.

"..."

Kazami Mei couldn't help but chuckle.

All the way there, he was so focused on how soft Xiangzi's little hands were that he only had time to take a closer look at her outfit today.

Her deep sky-blue hair was neatly tied into long pigtails, and she wore a traditional and elegant dress. She was lively and pure, yet she still possessed her innate gentleness and elegance.

On her feet were the standard brown round-toed leather shoes, the surface of which was as clean as new, as if it had never been stained with a speck of dust, and the pure white over-the-knee socks with lace trim seemed to secretly hide a little girl's thoughts.

I have to say, Xiao Xiang is really cute now.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that... Is there something dirty on my face?"

"It's just because Xiao Xiang is so beautiful, I simply can't take my eyes off her."

Shoko Toyokawa was secretly pleased to be praised, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Having grown up as a traditional aristocratic heiress, Toyokawa Shoko, as a 'young lady,' is actually not very good at dressing herself, and even makeup, a natural skill for girls, is only superficially understood by her.

She had consulted several people about her outfit for today's date, but neither Xiaomu nor Xiaodeng could offer any good advice. Only Nagasaki Sue helped her with her outfit without any expression.

"Is...is that so?"

"I was worried for a long time before I came out. If... if Ming could fall for me, that would be wonderful."

The girl fiddled with the hem of her skirt, making no attempt to hide the joy on her face.

She's already this happy before the date has even officially started; I can't imagine what she'll be like all day. Just thinking about these happy moments makes her hum softly.

"Trying to act cute on purpose, huh? You should at least have some awareness of your own charm."

Kazami Mei pinched the girl's soft cheek with a hint of annoyance, then gently lifted her azure hair behind her ear, revealing her fair and delicate neck and earlobes, and cupped her soft cheek with one hand.

This small gesture immediately dazzled Toyokawa Shoko.

This is a tram!

Despite being the reserved young lady of the Toyokawa family, she should be more mindful of her image in public. However, the thought of being close to the person she loves most in the world on the train filled her with a mixture of anticipation and a sense of transgression.

"..."

Kazami Mei opened her mouth in surprise.

He hadn't even had a chance to steal a couple of kisses yet, how come his little head was already burning red?

Shoko Toyokawa seemed to vaguely sense the surprise in Mei Kazami's heart. Her face flushed red, and she said with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, "There's nothing I can do about it!"

"Before she and Ming officially became a couple, she had never even held hands once."

"Even kissing is something that Xiaomu and Xiaodeng are already very used to..."

But it was only on the day she confessed her feelings that she received her first kiss, a gift destined by fate.

Thinking about this, Toyokawa Shoko felt extremely regretful. She should have been the first girl to meet Kazami Mei and the first to establish a fateful connection with him as lovers, but now she was the one who was the least progressing in every aspect.

Why couldn't she be more frank?

If I had chosen to express my feelings earlier, I might already be a dropout and a 'Mrs. Kazami' now?

Kazami Mei gazed calmly at the dejected Toyokawa-sama, sighed slightly with a hint of helplessness, and then, taking advantage of her unpreparedness, gently lifted her chin and kissed her directly under her bewildered gaze.

"ですわ......"

Ambiguous interjections floated from her mouth.

The girl's head instantly turned into a furnace. She was so shy that even her crystal-clear eyes became misty, and white steam kept rising from her face, as if it would burst into flames at any moment.

Kazami Mei admired her trembling reaction, and then couldn't help but hug her and kiss her.

"Then I'll try harder to get Miss Xiangzi used to it too."

"Eh? Eh!"

……

I got off the tram.

Miss Toyokawa, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, felt weak all over. When she got off the train, she could only stand by holding onto Kazami Mei's arm. She remained stammering and limp until she walked out of the train station.

Along the way, Toyokawa Shoko was like Dio wearing the Stone Mask. She couldn't remember how many times she had been kissed. All she knew was that her head was in a daze and her legs were a little weak.

"Seriously... Naruto went a bit too far!"

At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko seemed to have returned to her Oblivionis state, but this proud and serious posture could not be maintained for even a second before she was instantly broken by being tickled on the palm, and returned to her original soft mode.

However, Kazami Mei knew she had played too many pranks, so she apologized to her with a face full of remorse: "Sorry, I've just gotten a little addicted to teasing Sho, and before I knew it—"

"Waaah, then I forgive you..."

My God, she's the easiest girlfriend in the world to please.

The girl's eyes, which had been slightly furrowed, softened. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but blush and say, "...Actually, it's not that it's wrong to tease me like you did just now..."

Whose skill did they steal this time?

Such powerful lethality! This person is actually Xiao Xiang?

Kazami Mei only mentally complained for a while before slowly taking her hand and walking to the other side of the street. But perhaps thinking of something, he then turned his head and said softly, "The live show we booked today is still a while away. Let's enjoy our date until then."

"Ok!"

Toyokawa Shoko nodded with a smile. Her beautiful eyes gradually narrowed into crescent moons, like the bright moon hanging in the sky, and their radiant light seemed to easily capture people's hearts.

Their hands, once clasped together, gradually intertwined, and waves of warmth penetrated their skin and blood vessels, gradually reaching the other side of their hearts.

For her, who believed in "fate," this was a contract between lovers. A kiss represented an absolute vow for life. Just a few months ago, when they first met, she always had a cold face, but now she had become more innocent and shy than any other girl.

"Ok?"

Kazami Mei seemed to suddenly notice something, and a meaningful smile appeared in her eyes.

"Ming? What happened?"

The boy beside her suddenly stopped, which puzzled her. Before Toyokawa Shoko could react, she felt a pull on her fingertips and was then led by Kazami Mei, who had a mischievous grin on his face, to the edge of the street and into a small 'room'.

"Is this... a phone booth?"

Toyokawa Shoko curiously examined the 'machine' in front of her, which had a camera and various fancy interfaces. The entire 'room' was also wrapped in brightly colored curtains, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow in surprise and tentatively asked—

"Or... Xiao Xiang, why don't you try making a phone call?"

"Eh?"

Toyokawa Shoko rubbed her small hands, looking a little lost. After hesitating for a while, she reached out and tapped the interface. Suddenly, a picture of the two of them appeared on the screen. Her expression of being stunned for a long time was incredibly cute.

Seeing that he had teased her enough, Kazami Mei forced back her laughter and began to explain—

"This is a selfie booth. With this, the two of us can take selfies with all sorts of special effects."

"Isn't that just a camera?!"

Miss Toyokawa suddenly came to her senses. At this moment, she realized that she had been teased by Kazami Naruto again. So, she puffed out her cute cheeks with a little shame and indignation and glared at him with her sharp and stern phoenix eyes.

"Seriously, even I would get angry!"

"Shall we take the picture or not?"

"Of course we have to take pictures!"

The blue-haired girl put one hand on her hip and spoke seriously as if it were the most natural thing in the world. After speaking, as if she was worried that Kazami Naruto might change his mind, she quickly took his hand and brought it close to the screen, and her slender fingertips began to tap and click on the screen.

After clicking around for a while, she realized she didn't really know how to operate it, so she looked at Kazami Naruto next to her with a pitiful expression.

Oh no, this silly young lady is just too cute.

Chapter 149 She Has No Regrets [5k]

The dappled sunlight filtered through the glass dome of the commercial street, creating tiny dappled patterns on the girl's azure hair. She rested her forehead against the plastic curtain of the photo booth, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the edges of the newly printed photograph.

She was even happier than she had imagined.

Even though photo booth pictures are just an ordinary thing for most high school girls, Toyokawa Shoko held her breath as if she were holding a priceless treasure, and even her eyelashes trembled slightly from her intense focus.

Kazami Mei had never seen the Toyokawa young lady with such a bright and lovely smile. Watching her repeatedly turn the photo in her hand, she couldn't help but smile and said—

"Are you happy?"
