How can my simulation be a real love?

I'm so sad

but--

Even knowing that Senior Ryo was just joking, we can't let our guard down for a second...

Kita Ikuyo knew all too well how irresistible a handsome young man like Naruto was to girls.

Takamatsu, who is introverted and doesn't communicate with others, became so close to him in just one day, and even Pochi, who always hides alone in a corner, became his friend.

A man like him could easily be stolen away by other vixens if he's not careful.

Even if Yamada Ryo is just joking right now, it might come true someday.

Kita Ikuyo found it hard to muster the courage to compete fairly with the demon-like Ryo-senpai, so she had to wait until Ryo-senpai had completely fallen for Naruto...

Let's take him down first!

……

evening--

"Mmm~ I think I'm a little drunk. Can you take me home?"

"Haha, I don't want it."

Kazami Mei smiled brightly and refused without hesitation.

Putting aside the fact that they are too old to drink alcohol, Yamada Ryo didn't drink a drop of water during the entire meal, and he stuffed the expensive dishes into his mouth, even specifically choosing the most expensive items to eat.

Even if she confessed to him now, Kazami Mei wouldn't accept it.

If he wanted to support his ex-wife, who spends money like water, his current amount of money wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap between his teeth.

Taking advantage of his 'drunkenness', Yamada Ryo deliberately grabbed Kazami Naruto's right arm as they left, subtly blocking his view so that Kazami Naruto couldn't see Kita Ikuyo at the table behind them.

We can't let Kita and Naruto run into each other directly now.

Yamada Ryo glanced at Kita out of the corner of her eye and saw that she was still pressing her straw hat down tightly to cover her face, afraid that she would reveal any flaws that would be discovered by the two of them.

In fact, Liang had already discovered her from the very beginning.

"really……"

The ex-wife's lips curled slightly upward as she murmured to herself.

Sure enough, Yuyo has developed some feelings for Naruto now, hasn't she?

Can't let her have her way.

The image of Kita Ikuyo holding Kazami Naru in her dream still haunts Yamada Ryo, so he must be wary of her being alone with Naru, and may even need to resort to unconventional methods.

Yamada Ryo didn't know what caused that scene in his dream, only that Kita Ikuyo was the main person involved.

Yudai, who was normally only a 'D' level danger in Ryo's eyes, was only raised to 'S' level because of that scene.

Ms. Kita finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching the two gradually leave.

She slowly removed the sunglasses and mask that had completely covered her, a hint of frustration and resentment flashing in her eyes.

Even though she was inexplicably afraid of Senior Liang, she couldn't just give up like that!

"However, we also overheard a little bit of information this time..."

Kita Ikuyo not only heard that Nijika was going to start a promotional shoot for the band, but also that everyone would be working at "STARRY" on Friday to raise funds for the band.

This might be her last chance.

Yamada Ryo's 'joke' had put Kita Ikuyo on high alert, and even her fear and guilt about running away were suppressed to some extent.

Since we can't get to Ming's side, we can only try to achieve our goals from other angles!

Goto Ichiri!

Given that Boqi-chan is not good at saying no, if I, a 'wild' lead singer and guitarist, were to ask her for a favor, she definitely wouldn't have the heart to refuse!

Boqi-chan, my life is in your hands now!

Chapter Thirteen: In short, I'm going to beat up Pachinko.

Wakaba Mutsumi is a blockhead.

While it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that, she is indeed someone who is not good at expressing her emotions and is not good at socializing with others.

Even she herself felt that she was sometimes too dull and would unconsciously say hurtful things.

Wakaba Mutsu admires Toyokawa Shoko, who is able to freely express her own will and is willing to give up anything for what she wants to do.

But she just couldn't do it.

In her view, obeying others' words has become an instinct ingrained in her bones.

Whether they learn guitar from a young age or attend a particular academy according to their parents' wishes, their daily hobbies and interests are all clearly arranged.

All she needs to do is follow the steps.

"..."

Wakaba Mutsumi sat on a park bench, looking at the text message that had just arrived on her phone.

The other person was Motoyo Nagasaki, who was also the bassist of her previous band, CRYCHIC.

Because Wakaba Mutsu and Toyokawa Shoko are childhood friends who have known each other since they were young, Suze always tries to find out about Shoko through her.

However, Xiangzi very seriously demanded that she not reveal this to anyone.

Caught in the middle, Wakaba Mutsu was very troubled about what to do. She couldn't find anyone to confide in or ask about this, since she really didn't have many friends.

"...?"

Wakaba Mutsu, who had been staring blankly at the weeds, suddenly saw a figure walk past the park entrance.

It was a boy about the same age as me. He was wearing a plain black and white hooded sweatshirt, and his shoulder-length black hair was tied into a neat short ponytail, revealing his handsome face.

It's the person who was with Xiangzi last time.

He was recognized almost immediately because his black hair and black eyes were indeed very rare. In addition, he was walking and chatting with Xiangzi, which made Ruoye Mutsu's impression of him even more profound.

My feet started moving involuntarily.

Ruo Yemu followed almost instinctively.

She had no idea what the relationship was between this person and Xiangzi.

But she hadn't seen Xiao Xiang smile like that in a long time. Every time Xiangzi saw her, he would only show a helpless and troubled expression.

Ruo Yemu did not understand.

"...What's the matter with you?"

Kazami Naru, who had her hands in her pockets, suddenly stopped and turned to look at the girl behind her.

This was the first time he had ever seen a girl with such beautiful hair. Even Aine, who always followed the trend and maintained her beautiful cherry blossom pink hair, did not have such naturally beautiful hair.

Under the sunlight, her elegant light green hair seemed to have a stunning, translucent quality.

This is a beautiful color that embodies both vitality and natural energy, exuding a soft and comforting aura.

Jiuwu Ling Yi Ba Ling Jiu Another

"..."

The wooden man didn't know how to answer him.

Because it was her body's instinct, she didn't know how to explain it.

Kazami Mei looked at the silent, beautiful girl in front of him, pursed his lips with a hint of helplessness, and frowned slightly, seemingly unsure of what to do with her.

When Kazami Mei showed such an expression, Wakaba Mutsu's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Why is the expression on his face so similar to Xiao Xiang's?

"You're a student of Moon Forest, right? Unfortunately, I'm busy fighting pachinko right now, so don't follow me."

"If you're willing to lend me money, then that's another story."

There are quite a few young ladies from 'Moon Forest' who are attracted by his appearance and try to chat him up, so he is already used to how to deal with them and immediately speaks in a very calm tone.

Pachinko is a game of pachinko.

It's a very common game machine in Japan, but instead of simple game coins, it uses small steel balls as chips for random draws. If you're lucky, you can easily make a fortune.

Of course, most people lost everything.

Even so, its gambling nature still attracts a large number of people to play.

At least whenever Kazami Mei goes to crowded areas like Shibuya, she often sees young people or office workers screaming in despair in front of pachinko parlors, sometimes even shouting heart-wrenching screams like "300,000 yen, my 300,000 yen!"

"...?"

Ruo Yemu tilted her head in confusion, not knowing what Bai Qingge meant.

In the past, this pachinko trick was extremely effective against girls who would stick to you the moment they saw your face. But now, seeing her blank expression, Kazami Naruto could tell that this girl, who was clearly a sheltered young lady, had not understood what he meant at all.

But even a girl who looks expressionless and dull would actually come over and chat him up.

Has his charm really reached this level?

“I saw that Xiangzi was with you.”

Suddenly, Wakaba Mutsu, who had been silent all along, spoke up, muttering softly in a somewhat slow tone.

Xiangzi?

It was only then that Kazami Mei suddenly remembered that this was none other than Ms. Wakaba Mutsumi, Mr. Daisho's childhood friend, who was known as the "high EQ language instructor".

However, even though Wakaba Mutsu is usually the type to keep to herself, it's impossible for her to come up and chat with him. In addition, she just mentioned Shoko's name, so Kazami Mei could probably guess her purpose.

"Did you come looking for me because you saw Xiangzi?"

"Ah."

The girl nodded slightly, her expression remaining unchanged.

This girl was completely different from his ex-wife, Ryo, who appeared cold but was actually very easy to laugh. Her face was truly expressionless, and Kazami Mei's impression of her was also very simple.

Beautiful and exquisite dolls.

"If you just want to ask about Xiangzi, then you don't need to come to me. Wouldn't it be better to ask her directly?"

"I have important things to do now, so I'll take my leave now."

Kazami waved to her and turned to leave.

He didn't have time to waste here today. He planned to go to a music store to pick out a satisfactory electronic keyboard as his partner in the band, and he would have to use up his meager savings for it.

If a young lady with thick eyebrows were to be there at this moment, perhaps she could use her unbeatable bargaining skills, which are practically imperial level, to buy a favorite electronic keyboard for the price of a bowl of ramen?

"..."

As a result, Wakaba Mutsu was still following behind.

What exactly does this girl mean? She can't explain what she wants to do for a long time, yet she keeps following him around no matter how troublesome it is.

If it weren't for the fact that Wakaba Mutsu was simply a bit slow-witted, Kazami Mei would have thought that she had some ulterior motive towards him.

Chapter Fourteen: The Familiar White Shadow

"never mind……"

Since Wakaba Mutsu wants to follow, then so be it. Aside from the fact that his gaze is fixed on him, which makes Kazami Mei a little uncomfortable, there's nothing else to worry about.

Seeing that Kazami Mei was no longer chasing him away, Wakaba Mutsu followed him again.

She wanted to see what was so special about this boy who resembled Xiangzi.

Why could he make Xiangzi smile in a way that Xiangzi couldn't see? What exactly was his relationship with Xiangzi, or rather...?

Kazami Mei had no idea what a jumble of thoughts were going through the little cucumber spirit's head. He walked past several Gal game shops and LoveHouse in the shopping street.

I resisted the urge to go in and take a look, and quickly left this street that was eroding my spirit.

If we don't leave now, we won't be able to buy this electronic keyboard today.

Since she wanted to buy a high-quality musical instrument, Kazami Mei thought she should at least go to a trustworthy musical instrument store to choose one.
