How can my simulation be a real love?

Kita Ikuyo began to explain, her eyes brimming with tears.

If she hadn't found out by chance in a dream, she probably would have kept it to herself until her death!

I accidentally bought a bass instead of a guitar...

He's an absolute idiot!

"This time, I will definitely practice guitar hard! Then I'll go back and apologize to my seniors properly, try to get their forgiveness, and then join the band to do my part, however small!"

"So please, please help me..."

Kita-kun, you're definitely putting in the effort!

Goto Ichiri recalled the moment Kita Ikuyo grabbed her hand; she could feel the roughness and wear on Kita's fingertips, marks that could only be caused by pressing down on the steel string repeatedly and sliding it.

In other words, Kita Ikuyo was still practicing diligently until recently.

However, she was practicing bass, which didn't really have any practical significance.

"I, I will help."

"Really, thank you so much! Ichiri-chan!"

Kita Ikuyo was so happy she almost cried; after all, in the end, only Pochi could help her.

Her emotions were so turbulent that she couldn't help but hug the timid Goto Ichiri.

In the memories of the dream, Kita remembered that most of her guitar skills were thanks to Pochi's careful teaching, and Kita also remembered that Pochi did not develop feelings for Naruto.

I only feel truly at ease when Pochi is by my side!

……

"So, this is the lead singer and guitarist you found?"

Kazami Mei looked at Pochi with a somewhat subtle expression, and Kita Ikuyo beside her, who looked uneasy.

Unexpectedly, it was Boqi who invited Kita to join in the end. He was originally thinking about whether to invite Kita to the Starry Sky today.

"Nice to meet you, Kazami-kun!"

Kita Ikuyo gripped her sleeves tightly with both hands, because she felt a pang of anxiety whenever she saw Kazami Mei, and given that she was still hiding a lot of things from herself, it was only natural that she was nervous now.

Ming is no longer the same person she was at the beginning, and she doesn't know if the other party will reject her.

Since the memories in my 'dream' are real, then who can say for sure that Kazami-kun won't have the same memories? Maybe he's not saying anything now, but he'll actually feel repulsed if he sees me.

No way! I don't want Kazami to hate me!

"Since Lian Boqi thinks it's okay, then that's fine. Let's head to STARRY first."

Kazami Mei had no idea what Kita Ikuyo was thinking in those few seconds. He simply slung his keyboard over his shoulder, which made Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri behind him breathe a sigh of relief.

……

Shimokitazawa is not far from Haneoka High School, and it didn't take long to arrive at the STARRY entrance.

Gudong.

Kita Ikuyo swallowed hard. Even though she had rehearsed it countless times in her mind in the past few days, she still couldn't help but feel afraid when she came here again.

Even though she knew that Senior Hongxia was a very gentle person, she couldn't help but worry.

After all, he had done something like running away from a performance at the last minute, and now he shamelessly came back to apologize, even wanting to return to the band with impure thoughts.

What if my apology is not accepted?

Moreover, the thought of running into Ryo-senpai head-on made Kita Ikuyo feel dizzy with fear.

"It's okay, let's go."

"Just follow me. The atmosphere here is indeed a bit oppressive."

As long as you don't go to the front, you won't be so easily afraid.

Kazami Mei gently patted Kita Ikuyo's shoulder. His simple action of walking ahead made Kita feel much better, and even the pressure seemed to be relieved.

Sure enough, no matter what, Ming is still the same Ming.

Even the gentle Kita felt like crying.

"Ah, Yudai."

A familiar, cool voice came abruptly from behind Kita Ikuyo.

Kita Ikuyo, like a robot stuck in a gear, turned her head to look behind her with extremely stiff movements.

A beautiful blue-haired girl with an expressionless face stood high above the stairs, holding a bottle of white fruit-flavored Monster Energy drink in her hand, her emotionless eyes coldly staring at her.

Chapter 18 Aren't we a rock band?

I'm so sorry!!!

Fear, trembling, tension, sudden cardiac arrest...

With tears welling in her eyes, Ms. Kita knelt tremblingly on the STARRY floor, apologizing profusely, while Ms. Ryo sat in front of her, her legs crossed and her chin resting on her hand, her expression blank.

How scary! Ryo-senpai's eyes are terrifying!

Previously, when I was at the ramen shop, I didn't directly bump into Ryo-senpai, so my feelings weren't as strong at the time.

This unhindered face-to-face communication suddenly felt like a heavy burden on Kita, leaving her mind blank.

Why is this happening?

I used to think Ryo-senpai was really cool, so why am I instinctively afraid of her now...?

"Actually, I can't play the guitar at all, so I ran away in fear before that performance!"

"I...I can do anything! Please forgive me, senior!"

With her mind blank, Kita Ikuyo's only thought was to apologize instinctively. Her kneeling motion was like a pile driver trying to smash the ground, her head hitting the ground with heavy thuds.

Ichi Nijika, who was standing to the side, trembled in fright and quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"It's okay, Kita-san! Ryo and I weren't angry at all!"

"There's no need to be so scared, okay, okay~"

Hongxia gently patted Kita's shoulder, seemingly trying to comfort her extremely panicked emotions.

Even after being comforted, Ms. Kexi didn't dare to get up from the ground because Ryo-senpai's 'cold' gaze was still fixed on her, sending chills down her spine.

"It's really okay! I was also at fault for not noticing that Kita-chan was having trouble. It wasn't entirely Kita's fault that time."

"And in the end, the performance didn't go wrong, and we finished smoothly."

"If Kita hadn't run away, I wouldn't have gone out to try my luck, and I wouldn't have had the chance to run into Pochi-chan and Naru-san! That's how I managed to get both a guitarist and a keyboardist at the same time!"

Nijika Ichi looked at Pochi-chan beside her, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

This is probably a case of "a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

"We should really thank Kita for the fact that our band was able to be formed!"

Ichi Nijika gently patted Kita's head, helping her gradually calm down.

The gentle words not only eased Kita Yuyo's tension, but also took some responsibility upon themselves, in order to make Kita feel better and not blame herself too much for the incident.

Seeing this, Kazami nodded repeatedly, sighing inwardly once again.

The greatness of Rainbow Summer needs no further explanation.

In front of such a gentle Hongxia, no matter what you do, you'll be forgiven, right?

Even after marrying Hongxia, when she was caught cheating, she would only smile and say that she was also at fault. Her gentle, sun-like exterior remained all smiles, but in reality, she was secretly wiping away tears.

After understanding her gentleness, he will also yearn for the great Hongxia day and night, and his heart will only be filled with endless self-blame and regret for cheating.

In the end, all I could do was kneel before her, my heart filled with nothing else, and devoutly pray for the great goddess of rainbows to forgive me.

"Ming-sang, is there something on my face?"

QQ:⑧1 490 379 8

With her keen intuition, Ichiji Nijika noticed Kazami Mei's intense gaze and couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"I just think that I would be very happy if I could marry Hongxia."

"Huh?...Seriously! Don't make jokes like that!!"

After realizing what was happening, Ichiji Nijika immediately blushed deeply.

She even became somewhat angry because of her emotional state, but this was just to hide her shyness.

The girl frantically fiddled with her shiny golden ponytail, gently twirling the ends with her fingers. A blush crept onto her cute face, and her gaze even shifted slightly.

She's still a little shaken by what he just said.

Even though she knew perfectly well that the other person was just toying with her.

That wretched Kazami Mei! How could he just casually make such a misunderstanding-inducing joke to a girl!

A glint of light flashed in Yamada Ryo's eyes. His pale yellow eyes, as calm as still water, were fixed on Nijika's direction. He nodded slightly as if to confirm something, but in the end, he said nothing.

No one knew what she was really thinking.

As for Kita Ikuyo, her eyes widened in surprise, her gaze shifting back and forth between Kazami Mei and Nijika. She opened her mouth as if to say something but couldn't utter a word.

Is this why there are so many vixens around Ming?

He just can't control his philandering mouth!

In order to stay by his side and protect the house at all times, Kita Ikuyo mustered up her courage and lowered her head more earnestly.

“But I still feel bad about it, Ichi-senpai.”

"Please, punish me no matter what!"

The red-haired female passerby's sincere attitude put Hongxia in a bit of a predicament. She couldn't think of any way to give her a 'punishment' all of a sudden, so she could only look to Fengjianming for help.

Before Kazami Mei could react, Ms. Yamada had already spoken—

"In any case, let's all bow down first."

"Yes Yes……"

Kita Ikuyo shakily reached for her collar, and the immediate action made Nijika's expression freeze instantly.

She rushed forward and grabbed Kita Ikuyo's hand, saying in a panic, "Hey, if this keeps up, this chapter won't pass the censorship!"

"But aren't we a rock band?"

Yamada Ryo slowly spread his hands and answered in a completely matter-of-fact tone.

“Ming, you tell Hongxia Rock Band what they should do.”

"Smoking, drinking, and womanizing?"

Kazami Mei spoke without any hesitation; at least in his impression, those rock bands were all chaotic one after another.

For example, the drummer has a crush on the lead singer, while the lead singer secretly likes the keyboardist and forms a complicated love triangle with the guitarist. In the end, only the bassist still cares about the lousy band.

Eh, is that so?

Boqi, who was standing to the side and didn't know how to speak, widened his eyes. So this was a real rock band?

"Yes, that's it."

Yamada Ryo seemed quite satisfied with Kazami Naru's answer, and proudly raised his head.

"Since you sincerely want to apologize, what does a mere full-body kowtow amount to?"

"Yu Dai, you..."

"Don't you even have this much awareness?"

Kita Ikuyo, gradually becoming bewitched, had her eyes darting around. Beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead. Then, she swallowed hard and, without saying a word, began to unbutton her clothes.

These people were spouting nonsense, making Ichiji Nijika's little head feel like it was going to explode.

"You people! Don't have these stereotypes about 'rock and roll'!"
