How can my simulation be a real love?

"I still want to... I still want to play the drums..."

She was still unwilling to give up.

Just like her name 'Ruomai', even when she was knocked down, she would desperately get up again and again. Even though her diamond-like pink eyes were already wet with tears, she still gritted her teeth and kept staring ahead.

She didn't want to run away anymore; her future couldn't stop here.

She didn't want to be looked down upon by Kazami Naruto, and she didn't want to betray his kindness in an extreme way. Whether or not to be the drummer for Ave Mujica was up to her, so she decided that she must continue playing the drums!

"..."

Perhaps because her previous impression of Meow Dream was so different from her current one, Toyokawa Shoko stood there stunned, completely at a loss for words, until she saw Kazami Mei not far away, which snapped her out of her panic.

In a mere second, she readjusted her mindset, displaying the dignity and elegance ingrained in her very being. Then, she placed her hands neatly in front of her and bowed to Yutenji Wakana with the same earnest gaze.

"I also need to apologize to you for this."

“Before this, I was only focused on Ave Mujica and never considered how you members would feel. I never saw your hard work behind the scenes and just arrogantly took it all for granted.”

"I used those kinds of words to get you to join in the first place, but in the end I never managed to keep my promise."

Yutenji Wakana was somewhat stunned; she clearly hadn't expected this situation.

But Toyokawa Shoko simply pressed her left hand lightly against her heart, and an elegant and gentle smile gradually appeared on her face.

She used to be just as selfish as Ruomai in front of her. She never considered other people's feelings, went to watch other people's performances on her own, broke down on her own, and then deliberately stirred up her inner conflicts to treat others coldly.

But she is different now.

"We've both made mistakes, so this should even things out, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko gave the purple-haired girl in front of her a faint smile, then slowly took a deep breath. After her emotions had completely calmed down, she showed her most serious expression and stretched out her right hand into the distance.

"Yutenji, come back and beat the drums."

"..."

Miss Miaomeng, her eyes red, gently gritted her teeth, hesitating to speak, but in the end she lowered her eyes. Just then, she suddenly felt someone gently push her, and something was stuffed into her previously empty hands.

"Your drumsticks were a bit worn out, so I replaced them with a new pair."

The voice, which she found somewhat annoying yet irresistible, reached her ears. Standing behind her, Kazami Mei glanced at her with a half-smile, then coughed and continued—

"The break is almost over, and the second phase of practice is about to begin."

"There's not much time left before the next tour. Before that, you all need to practice your coordination until it's practically flawless. Anyway, let me make this clear—I'm not going on stage next time! Every time I read my lines, I feel so ashamed I could burst."

His sarcastic remark made Toyokawa Shoko blush instantly. She clenched her little fists in dissatisfaction and retorted, "That's the kind of dialogue you get in puppet shows. This is the world of Ave Mujica!"

Kazami Mei's lips twitched.

Come back and discuss your worldview with me when you go on stage one day without kissing or hugging.

Seeing that Yutenji Wakana was still standing there staring blankly at the drumsticks, Kazami Mei couldn't help but roll her eyes and leaned over to whisper, "You haven't played the drums in so long that you've forgotten how to use the drumsticks, have you?"

"Naruko, you completely treat me like an idiot, meow."

Yutenji Wakana frowned in dissatisfaction and quickly wiped away the tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She no longer cared about her disheveled appearance, which made her look like a little kitten, and deliberately stuck out her cat tongue at Kazami Mei.

She turned around—

Without looking back, he strode towards the drum set.

……

The motion-sensor light in the entryway gradually turned on. Kazami Naruto, wearing a trench coat, carried a plastic bag. A faint twitch appeared on his handsome face. He casually placed the bag full of groceries on the shoe cabinet, which was filled with various expensive women's shoes, and closed his eyes wearily.

"Why do I have to come back with you?"

"Didn't you say you'd help me film the video? You're not trying to run away now, are you?!"

Yutenji Wakana seemed to have returned to her smug self from the beginning, one hand on her hip and raising her playful cat-like lips. The entrance hall, which was originally piled up with debris, was now cleaned up spotlessly, all thanks to Kazami Mei's tireless efforts over the past few days.

"I've never heard of having to help with cooking."

"I paid for all the ingredients this time, including all the previous ones. Who said before that 'as long as you pay, it's fine'? Besides, this is part of the video shoot. I have to create a cute persona of a drummer who can cook!"

That's quite a contrast! I've even seen a drummer who can make chocolate snails.

Yutenji Wakame ignored the black-haired boy rolling his eyes beside her. For some reason, she was in an unusually good mood today. She casually placed the brand-new drumsticks next to her drum set and then started fiddling with the camera that she hadn't used in a long time.

Starting today, Meow Dream is making a comeback!

This situation is all thanks to Kazami Mei. In Miao Meng's eyes, this guy is definitely planning to seduce her. Just thinking about this makes her face turn a little red, but she doesn't feel much resistance. Instead, she wants to verify whether he really has such thoughts.

No way, Miaomengqin wouldn't have fallen for him, would she?

Him?! That kind of scumbag?!

Just thinking about this made her head spin, and she became increasingly concerned about Kazami Mei's thoughts.

"Naruko, could you get my camera for me?"

There is no way to continue like this.

Since that's the case, we can only give it a try...

Thinking of this, Miao Meng didn't hesitate to become ruthless. Taking advantage of the moment when Feng Jianming walked to the bedside with the camera, she moved her feet and pounced on him, slamming him hard onto her bed with a sudden sneak attack.

Chapter 167 Who is the woman you're dating? [5k]

We did it without hesitation.

Yutenji Wakana has always believed that she is actually very proactive. When she thought about taking off her mask, she didn't hesitate at all. Now, when she realized that she had to take a step to test the waters, her body had already started moving before she even had a chance to think about it.

While Kazami Mei was still holding the camera and unable to react, Yutenji Wakanai used her strong arms as a drummer to push him down onto the bed. Her charming and voluptuous body pressed down on him, and her pale pink eyes met his bold gaze.

"...Can I ask what's going on?"

Kazami Mei, still holding the camera in both hands, remained expressionless. He subconsciously glanced at Nyanmu-sensei's hand propped up on the bed, while her fair thighs under her skirt pressed against him, like a cross lock in a fighting octagon.

"Hmph~ Isn't this just as you see it?"

Yutenji Wakana's lips curled into a playful smile. She pursed her cherry lips and stared intently at Kazami Mei's handsome face. This seemed to be the first time she had been so close to him and the first time she had truly observed his face.

His dark eyes seemed to possess a magical power, his eyelashes were incredibly long, and even the curve of his nose and cheeks was exceptionally handsome. Up close, you could even smell a faint fragrance emanating from him, making it impossible to look away.

So it really is because of her looks, huh?!

Naruko, you've only managed to fool so many girls because of your looks!

"What do you mean by 'as I see'? What I see is that you might need to see a doctor about your brain."

"Meow! Who are you calling mentally unstable?!"

Yutenji Wakana stared wide-eyed at him, her pale pink eyes sparkling. Even though he was pinned down, she was still so arrogant! She, such a beautiful woman, had attacked him! Shouldn't she reveal her true intentions?!

Although she has never been in a relationship, it doesn't mean that Miao Mengqin lacks confidence in her own charm. On the contrary, she is incredibly proud of her face and figure!

This is probably one of the reasons why Toyokawa Shoko took a liking to her in the first place.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't say that."

Kazami Mei glanced at the arm that was pressing down on him. Although he could easily push her away with the strength he gained from his enhanced drumming skills, he was worried that he might accidentally hurt her, so he didn't do anything for the time being.

Who knew that when Miaomeng saw him not resisting much, a smug smile immediately appeared on her face, making her want to punch him.

"As expected, it seems I was completely right!"

"Guess what?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Kazami Naruto's face, she cursed him inwardly for not being honest. So she immediately decided to expose his disguise and ruthlessly reveal all his thoughts and intentions!

"Stop pretending! Naruko, you actually like me, right?!"

"You don't seem to have any special attitude towards me usually, but your actions lately have completely exposed you. Naruko, you actually have feelings for me, so you're trying to win me over while I'm feeling down, right?"

She understands this.

However, Yutenji Wakame had to admit that she seemed to have developed some unusual feelings for him during this period. Although she had long been used to staying at home alone, she felt an indescribable loneliness when eating alone.

At first, she simply thought it was 'loneliness,' but later she realized that it wasn't that simple.

It seems she's really close to being won over by him...

"I saw right through your plan, so just admit it honestly!"

"..."

Faced with Yutenji Wakana's smug expression, like a primary school detective catching a criminal, Kazami Mei covered his cheek with a headache, unsure of how to respond, and could only let out a long sigh with mixed feelings.

"Is this your reason for pinning me, a guy, down on the bed and interrogating me in such an intimate position and manner?"

"Putting aside the question of why I would like you, aren't you afraid that I might get angry and force myself on you?"

I used to think that Yutenji Wakana might be a little cunning, but now I realize that Miss Meow Dream is a bit too naive. Based on this understanding, she brought a man of the same age home and did this when she was alone with him in a room.

Kazami Naruto's sarcastic remark made Miss Meowmu blush. She then realized that she hadn't considered this issue at all. If she accidentally pushed him too far, she would have nowhere to run when they were alone together.

Yutenji Wakana still tried to remain calm, muttering with a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.

"...If you didn't like us, why would you treat us so well?"

Meow Dream, you're really going for it!

Kazami Mei originally thought he was invincible among shrimp heads, but he never expected that there would be someone even better than him.

Whose subordinate was this? It seems entirely Toyokawa Shoko's fault!

Also, are all Kumamoto girls so easily fooled?

"Besides, would Naruko even get angry? Meow hahaha~ I can't even imagine what kind of expression she'd have~ Rather, it's more like Naruko, being a boy, is being arrogantly spouting nonsense even though I've pinned her down so she can't move!"

"..."

Kazami's forehead veins gradually bulged. Looking at the arrogant posture of this big cat pressing down on him, the last trace of concern in his heart immediately disappeared. Without saying a word, he grabbed her wrist.

"Eh?"

Just moments ago, the smug little purple cat was suddenly overpowered. Realizing that both of her hands were being held by the other's single hand, she tried to fight back, but found that she couldn't break free at all. Instead, her struggles caused the straps on her shoulders to slip off.

How, how is this possible?!

Despite her seemingly slender figure, Mingzi was able to completely overpower him, a veteran of years of drumming practice. This stark difference made her blush, and her voluptuous body began to tremble involuntarily.

"If I can produce drumbeats on stage that you can't even do, how could I possibly lack strength?"

"Now you know who's in charge, huh?"

Kazami Mei scolded her somewhat irritably. The slipped halter top exposed her fair and delicate shoulders, revealing the figure that she was once proud of. Even he subconsciously glanced at the deep cleavage.

Oh no, it's automatically locking onto the enemy.

"You, you, you, you wouldn't really be planning to..."

Even Miao Mengqin couldn't stand up straight now. She was pinned down, and even her struggles sounded like she was being coquettish. She hadn't considered the consequences at all before doing this, and now the initiative had been completely taken away from her.

What should we do now, meow?!

The arrogant and smug girl lowered her pale pink eyes, and glistening tears filled the corners of her eyes. Her cheeks, already flushed with shyness, now displayed a beauty never before seen.

Her soft, warm body pressed against Kazami Naruto's, her round, warm chest almost being flattened into a pancake. With just a slight tilt of her head, one could clearly see the dark purple lace, and a strand of purple hair from her temple was accidentally put into her mouth.

"...That's unexpected. I never knew you could make that kind of expression, Meow Dream."

Kazami Mei paused slightly, and her tone became more subtle.

Yutenji Wakana, who had a strong sense of self-respect, was initially flustered, but upon hearing these words that sounded like mockery, she became annoyed. She bit her lower lip lightly and glared at him fiercely with a resentful yet weak look.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you're coming, then hurry up and get here!"

"At worst, I'll just close my eyes and not utter a sound!"

As she spoke, a flicker of emotion flashed in Yutenji Wakana's eyes. In this situation, she felt no fear whatsoever; instead, she felt an unprecedented surge of emotion, and a strong sense of shame gradually welled up in her heart.

But only she knew that deep down she felt a faint, almost imperceptible joy and anticipation.

Sensing this, Yutenji Wakana's eyes darted away. She cursed herself inwardly for being such an idiot, how could she have such feelings for the black-haired boy in front of her? Shame made her close her beautiful eyes.

Doesn't this mean that I actually managed to win him over?

"Stop it, hurry up and finish filming the channel's video footage..."

Kazami Mei gradually snapped out of her submissive expression and released her grip on his hands the next second. This shocked Nyanmu, who had finally managed to mentally prepare herself, causing her eyes to widen in shock, followed by a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

Snapped!
