How can my simulation be a real love?

Nagasaki Motoyo seemed not to understand the implied meaning in Kazami Mei's words. She simply stretched out her index finger and kept playing with the end of her hair with a shy expression, but there was a hint of undisguised joy between her brows.

Perhaps, as she said before, she is just a very easy girl to please in front of her husband, with whom she can open her heart.

"Really not necessary?"

"of course."

After Nagasaki Motoyo responded in this way as a matter of course, she was met with Kazami Mei's ambiguous smile. In an instant, the clever girl immediately sensed something was wrong, and a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

"Since Su Shi says she doesn't need it, I'll just go back to my room and sleep."

"wait wait wait!"

Just as Kazami was about to get up and leave, Miss Suze suddenly blushed and reached out to grab his sleeve. She lowered her beautiful blue eyes without saying a word, and even her voice trembled slightly.

Clearly, she could no longer maintain her composure and calmness.

"..."

Nagasaki Motoyo's already shy face flushed even more, and she couldn't help but snuggle even closer into his arms. Under the orange light, her fair skin was as delicate as pudding, and her carefully styled brown curly hair was soft and exuded a faint fragrance.

She seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and instead expressed herself through her actions.

Nagasaki Motoyo reached out her hands, which were always playing with her hair, and quietly unbuttoned the collar of Kazami Naru's clothes. Each movement was so gentle that it seemed as if she was showing her tenderness.

"Even Naruto... should be nearing his limit by now, after a whole day, right?"

Fine snowflakes gently clung to the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows outside. The chilly air emanating from the takeout window was completely different from the warm temperature inside. There was no sound of wind, only the breathing of the other person.

And a heartbeat—

His hot breath seemed to melt the snow on the edge of the windowsill. Nagasaki Motoyo pressed her forehead against his neck, and the emotions and love from the bottom of her heart surged into her heart in an instant, making her take a deep breath involuntarily.

From this vantage point, she could easily catch a whiff of his scent—a floral fragrance warmer than the sun, one that instantly put her at ease. For her at that moment, it was also an intoxicating catalyst.

"...I've been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time, haven't I?"

“It’s not just Xiao Mu, but also Xiao Xiang… Xiao Deng, and even Ai Yin, they’ve all left me far behind, even though I arrived before them. This has made me so anxious lately that I haven’t been able to sleep. I can only…”

She doesn't stay up late.

"I am the way I am now, it's all Ming's fault."

The girl's gentle face became incredibly hot, and her azure eyes held an unbearable tension and anticipation. She gently raised her eyebrows, forming an inverted V shape, and looked at Kazami with a resentful yet tender gaze.

Her remarks made it seem as if he had truly committed some heinous crime.

"It seems we have to take responsibility."

Kazami gently pressed her forehead against the girl's forehead, and before she knew it, she had intertwined her fingers with the girl in front of her. Despite her usually weak and weak physical abilities, the strength of her grip on her hand was surprisingly great.

"Of course we have to take responsibility."

Nagasaki Motoyo merely sipped her forsythia, her eyes filled with a hazy gleam.

"Let me become...a real wife."

Chapter 163 Uninhabited Island [5k]

The following day, RiNG—

A black-haired boy wearing a gray coat smiled slightly. Beside him sat a cup of red tea with wisps of white steam rising from it. He was sitting in a corner of the second-floor café of RiNG, with a laptop in front of him.

The tranquil winter day seemed to be able to make people feel intoxicated. Even though the end of the year was approaching, Kazami was still immersed in his work. However, today he did not choose to lock himself in his room for "further study". Instead, he chose to come to RiNG Cafe to change the work atmosphere.

At that moment, his fingertips holding the mouse suddenly stopped.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the stairwell not far away, mixed with the constant discussion of the girls. Before Kazami Mei even looked up, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile, which then subconsciously revealed a light laugh.

Even though he hadn't looked up at all, he could clearly identify whose footsteps were the most rapid.

"Has training already ended?"

Kazami Mei looked toward the training room as if she could foresee the future, and saw Shiina Tatsuki, who had just finished training, striding in. Behind her were Aine, whose eyes were shining, and a cute little penguin holding a notebook. Only Neko was nowhere to be seen.

"That should be enough for today, since one person isn't here."

Shiina Riki, who was hugging his chest, gave a casual and indifferent reply, but his words made Kazami Mei's hand holding the handle of the teacup tremble slightly, and even the calm expression on his face was slightly compromised.

"...Ahem."

Kazami pretended to cough from choking on hot tea and casually changed the subject.

After all, it seems that he really was the one who caused this.

He was seduced by Su Shi all day yesterday in various ways, and Su Shi was unusually proactive in that environment, seemingly intoxicated by the experience. All these factors, plus the fact that Kazami Mei himself simply couldn't resist—

As a result, he repeatedly acted out of control and caused Su Shi to be severely punished for various reasons.

"..."

Shiina Riki's beautiful, lavender-purple eyes lowered slightly, and she glanced unexpectedly at Kazami Mei's neck, where some kind of mark still remained. A few blushes appeared on her originally icy face, but her brows also furrowed tightly.

"Tsk!"

A strong, powerful click of the tongue rang in my ears.

Her displeasure seemed to solidify into something tangible, so Kazami Mei could only cough and pretend not to hear, quickly reaching for the warm Darjeeling tea again and taking small sips to ease the awkward atmosphere.

no way.

According to the original plan, today should have been MyGO's training day for the next performance. However, Ms. Su Shi, the bassist, suddenly took a sick leave yesterday. For various reasons, she will definitely not be able to get out of bed today.

As for why Nagasaki Motoyo, who was absent, took the day off, the girls in MyGO all knew perfectly well and didn't bother to mention it.

Even though the bassist couldn't come to the training camp, everyone was still able to complete their daily training. However, because we still couldn't gather enough people, today's joint training session had to end hastily like this, just to relieve everyone's training pressure.

Out of the corner of her eye, Kazami Mei noticed that Aine, who was hiding behind Riki, was covering her mouth and chuckling. This made the perceptive pink-haired girl react immediately, and the girl who was just chuckling suddenly turned into a sad face.

"...Mmm~ My fingers hurt so much from practicing the piano, come and rub them for me..."

The voice gradually reached his ears, and the girl ran over to Kazami Naruto and sat down next to him. With tears in her eyes, she showed him her soft fingertips, on which a faint red mark could be seen. But it was hard to say how much pain she had endured.

Kazami Mei's lips twitched, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, okay~ I'll give you a massage."

"Hehe~"

Sitting beside her, Chihaya Aine seemed to let out a silly laugh with the taste of milk candy. She let Kazami Mei carefully and gently massage her soft fingertips, and her ears gradually turned a little red. The faint joy made her want to kiss him.

But before she could even put her lips to it, her offensive was ruthlessly hijacked.

"Hum~"

Suddenly, Kaname, who had seemed at a loss, darted out and skillfully squeezed between the two of them. She then unceremoniously sat down in the 'cat bed' that Kazami Mei was sitting in, causing Aine to widen her eyes in astonishment and speak in a slightly displeased tone—

"Lanna-chan is so cunning~ She was here first."

Seeing his two girlfriends crowding around him right after training, Kazami Mei felt a little amused and exasperated. He slowly put down his teacup and then smiled at the silly little penguin opposite him.

"Everyone must be tired after training, right? You've been singing for so long, you must be thirsty. Would you like some desserts and drinks? I happened to help Rinrinko-nee here before, so I'm pretty familiar with RiNG's ordering process."

"I'll go prepare some drinks. What would you like to drink?"

The words had barely left his lips when a response came from beside him—

"Then I'll just be like Mingming~"

"Matcha Buffet".

"I...I can do either."

All three girls responded quickly, except for Shiina Tatsuki, who stood with one hand on her hip and slightly furrowed her brows, replying, "...No, who makes guests prepare their own drinks? I can handle this."

Without waiting for Kazami's response, Ms. Riki turned and walked skillfully toward the counter. But before she could take a step, she was stopped by Narita, who suddenly appeared behind her and blocked her way with a grin.

"Little Lixi, aren't you a 'guest' now too?"

"what?"

Shiina Riki was slightly taken aback, but the other person simply pressed down on her shoulder to make her sit down.

"Guests should sit properly in their seats! As for preparing desserts and drinks, that should naturally be left to the staff!" Rinrinko said, then winked at Kazami Mei, who secretly gave her a thumbs up after receiving the 'signal'.

As expected of Cheng Tianlu, I'll give you all the red skills next time!

"Anyway, another Darjeeling, a matcha parfait, a latte for Lixi, and a milk tea for Xiaodeng! Then bring out a cream puff... forget the cream puff, but get a mille-feuille and some macarons or something—"

"Roger that!"

Rinko Maji gave a playful salute to Naru Kazami, then turned and left with a smile, leaving only Miss Riki with a helpless sigh. She could only pretend to be dissatisfied and cross her arms, her pretty face becoming somewhat stiff.

Chihaya Aine, who was standing next to her, seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She narrowed her crystal-clear eyes and quite naturally reached out to hug Kazami Naruto's right arm. Even the words she spoke had a hint of anticipation and excitement.

"Anyway, practice is over for today~ Does Mingming have any plans for the rest of the time?"

"If not, would you like—"

"Of course not, right?"

Before Kazami Mei could respond, Shiina Tatsuki, sitting opposite her, suddenly spoke up: "He's been so busy lately dealing with our upcoming performances, not to mention that Shoko's tour is about to continue, and Mujica even needs him for the stage, right?"

"Hiss! You're right..."

Chihaya Aine wasn't exactly a spoiled or willful girl. Since Christmas was only a few days away, she didn't necessarily want Kazami Mei to drop everything and come with her. She simply nodded understandingly.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and her long, slender eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Speaking of Mujica, Mingming~ how's Meow Dream doing lately?"

Meow dream?

Kazami Mei, who was still sipping her black tea, paused, while Shiina Tatsuki, sitting opposite her, simply raised her eyebrows and asked in a questioning tone, "Nyanmu? You mean the original drummer of Mujica?"

"That's right! Miaomeng herself hasn't posted any videos on the channel since last week. You know, she usually posts videos very frequently, sometimes two a day is not uncommon! But now she's suddenly become so strange!"

"Huh? That shouldn't be so strange, right?"

Faced with Shiina Tatsuki's completely bewildered expression, Chihaya Aine, leaning against Kazami Mei, simply puffed out her cheeks, narrowed her eyes slightly like a little pufferfish, and uttered a few words of subtle dissatisfaction—

"No way! Rikki doesn't understand anything at all!"

Chihaya Aine anxiously swiped her fingertip across the interface of a video website, then abruptly turned the screen to face everyone. The constantly scrolling videos and homepage also caused a strange glint to flash in Kazami Mei's eyes.

"Miaomeng has never missed more than three days of updates, and she hasn't even updated her social media since last week. Even when she was sick, she would post two or three tweets. This is completely abnormal!"

"...At most, I'll just need a couple of days to rest and adjust, right?"

Chihaya Aine and Shiina Tatsuki started bickering again, but Kazami-san, who was holding a cup of red tea, gradually frowned. His pensive expression caught Takamatsu Akari's attention, which made the little penguin raise an eyebrow with some concern.

"Ming?"

The little penguin's question brought Kazami Naruto back to his senses, and his previously tense brows immediately relaxed.

"...Sorry, Xiaodeng, I was just thinking about something."

He smiled apologetically, then drank the rest of the black tea in his cup in one gulp.

The crisp sound of the white porcelain cup lightly tapping the walnut table broke the atmosphere of the two girls' bickering. Chihaya Aine looked at her boyfriend beside her with some confusion, only to find that he had already picked Ryuna up from his arms and put her down again.

He took a deep breath.

"I'm so sorry everyone, I suddenly remembered that I still have some work to finish, so I have to leave right now... As for the dessert I just ordered, please help me share it!"

"Eh?"

"Wait! Your computer isn't ready yet..."

After saying that, Kazami Mei stood up and strode away, leaving the girls bewildered. Shiina Tatsuki, who reacted the fastest, had just opened her mouth when the black-haired boy turned and left, leaving the girls standing there at a loss.

……

The so-called 'work', of course, refers to Meow Dream.

In fact, Kazami Mei had been waiting for Nyanmu to come to him. If Nyanmu realized her mistake and took the initiative to talk to Kazami Mei, then given his personality, he would certainly not make things difficult for her and would give her a chance to correct it.

but--

Kazami Mei was surprised that Yutenji Wakana hadn't come to see him at all, and hadn't even replied to the messages he had sent. He had originally planned to take some time in the next few days to talk to her, but today he changed his mind because of Aine-san.

After careful consideration, he decided to talk to her in advance.

"If I remember correctly, she should be living in..."

As Ave Mujica's manager and administrator, Kazami Mei naturally knew the members' situation and information. Even though he had never asked Nyanmu about any 'private matters', he could immediately find out where they were.
