How can my simulation be a real love?

"Eh?"

Kita Ikuyo slowly raised her head, staring blankly at what was in front of her.

"Yeah! At least I haven't received any news about quitting~ Kita-chan."

Ichi Nijika stood with her hands behind her back, her gentle eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a smile.

Kita Ikuyo's eyes stung with tears at the sight of that smiling face. She suppressed the urge to cry, and finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. Overwhelmed with emotion, she rushed forward and hugged the unsuspecting Kazami Naruto tightly.

Her figure, which was as flattering as the Kanto Plains, made Kazami's abdomen ache a little.

As for Yamada Ryo, who had just been looking completely calm, his eyes instantly sharpened.

She stepped forward and slowly pulled Kazami Mei out of Kita's embrace, then said in an icy tone, "As expected, Ikuyo, you should train for another two years before talking about it."

"No way! I've already graduated high school!"

Chapter Twenty-Two: This good-looking scumbag!

"Wow, so slow! Chirp is way too slow!"

"He actually made the two of us pretty girls wait for him like this. He should at least treat us to tea and apologize later!"

Chihaya Aine, dressed in a trendy dress that exuded girlish charm, stood with her arms crossed over her chest, staring impatiently at the park entrance in the distance, while Takamatsu Akari stood timidly to the side like a small animal.

Faced with Ai Yin's slightly dissatisfied words, Xiao Bideng was also at a loss.

Today is the weekend, and the group that has decided to form a band is naturally going to have its 'first band discussion' at RiNG.

Therefore, Chihaya Aine decided to first gather the three of them together, then go to Riki, who was working at RiNG, and then discuss the band name and uniforms that Aine was still looking forward to.

But now the two of them have been waiting in the park for ten minutes and still haven't seen Kazami Mei.

He dared to be blatantly late for the 'first Love Music Band meeting', what a careless guy!

Chihaya Aine could only mentally punch that idiot Kazami Mei twice; she would definitely rip out his gold coins when they met later!

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"Huh? Why is Dengdeng apologizing?! It's clearly his fault for being late on his own!"

"Ming only went back to school to get her notebook because of me. If it weren't for me..."

As she spoke, Takamatsu Akari's expression turned gloomy. Because of her mistake, Naruto had made a special trip only to be misunderstood by Aine. She felt so guilty that she almost burst into tears.

The heavy aura she unconsciously exuded made the pink-haired girl next to her feel like she had a splitting headache.

Chihaya Aine hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Of course it's not Touko's fault! Since there's a reason, let's not blame him this time! Let's just wait a little longer!"

Her attempt to salvage the situation clearly had some effect, and Gao Songdeng's mood improved considerably in no time.

Seeing this, Chihaya Aine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few days of getting to know her, Aine gradually figured out Akari's personality. A careless word could make Akari become gloomy and dejected, especially when it came to things like Kazami Naruto—

Just as the pink-haired girl was about to glance at her phone, a Line message from Kazami Mei woke her up.

"Hey, it seems like Mingming suddenly sent a message!"

"Let me see. You guys go ahead, I'll come back later."

"……what?"

Chihaya Aine's jewel-like gray eyes widened immediately, and a certain sentence was about to slip out.

However, upon noticing that Takamatsu was still beside her, she swallowed back her displeased words.

Damn it, that good-looking scumbag!

If it weren't for the fact that they weren't close enough, she would definitely have reached out and pinched Kazami Naruto's cheek hard as punishment!

"Seriously, there's no other way..."

"Dengdeng, he said he'd go later by himself, so let's just the two of us go to RiNG and meet up with Lixi first."

Chihaya Aine sighed softly, then took Kodama's hand and walked towards RiNG, thinking to herself how she should complain to Kazami Naru later.

……

Everyone wants to make the most of the prime time on weekends.

For example, a certain intelligent young lady from the Moon Forest is planning to take advantage of this break to visit RiNG.

"Xiao Mu, you're definitely hiding something..."

The elegant young lady with long brown hair narrowed her eyes slightly. She was wearing a mature-style light-colored dress that didn't suit her age, and walked down the street with a gentle and inclusive smile on her face.

Her beautiful figure and extraordinary elegance made it immediately clear that she was a wealthy heiress.

Nagasaki Motoyo gripped her shoulder bag slightly.

Before this, she had never seen Wakaba Mutsu hesitate.

Even though Ye Mu is usually quiet and reserved, and her face is usually expressionless, she is still very bad at lying.

Having known her for so long, Su Shi could naturally spot her unusual behavior at a glance.

Xiao Mu, have you successfully contacted Xiao Xiang yet?

But if she has already made contact, why won't she tell us?

Or is there something you can't tell yourself?

"I will not give up."

A glint of light flashed in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes, and she unconsciously quickened her pace.

If I remember correctly, Shiina Tatsuki is still working part-time today.

Lixi, who was once a member of CRYCHIC, is probably working in RiNG as usual today.

Nagasaki Motoyo planned to take this opportunity to test Shiina Tatsuki and see if she also had the idea of ​​reforming the band.

No, Li Xi definitely wants to form a new band too.

As long as the little light is still there—

Suddenly, a striking pink color flashed by in the distance, standing out prominently in the crowd.

Her beautiful cherry-pink hair was eye-catching even in a crowd. Even Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but take a second look. But because of that second look, her pupils instantly contracted and her expression showed a clear hint of surprise.

The girl walking next to the pink-haired girl looked very familiar.

"...Lamp-chan?"

There was no way she could mistake him; Nagasaki Motoyo recognized him at a glance.

"I never expected the mediation to happen so coincidentally today, perhaps..."

Nagasaki Motoyo didn't hesitate much. If she missed this opportunity, she didn't know how long she would have to wait to find Takamatsu Akari again!

At that moment, she was like a drowning person grasping at a last straw, quickly walking towards Gao Songdeng's direction.

"Light-chan?"

At that moment, Chihaya Aine was chatting and laughing with Kotori about the band when a gentle voice suddenly came from beside her.

The familiar voice made Takamatsu Tō turn her head, her mouth agape as she looked at the other person in surprise.

The other person was wearing a light blue lace-trimmed short-sleeved shirt paired with a beige patterned long skirt that went past the knees. Even though she was wearing loose clothing, it still couldn't hide her impressive figure.

Her elegant demeanor, reminiscent of an older sister, combined with her gentle smile, created a mature charm that left Ai Yin slightly taken aback.

"Su Shi..."

"Eh?"

Seeing that Takamatsu seemed to recognize her, Chihaya Aine blinked blankly.

Wu Huo Yi Scar Ling Jiu Ling Moxibustion

Who is this gentle-looking girl? She looks like a pampered young lady from a wealthy family!

I never expected that such a beauty would know someone like Deng. What's going on here?

"I knew it! It's been so long since I've seen you, Akari-chan~"

Nagasaki Motoyo finally confirmed Takamatsu Akari's identity by getting closer. A hint of joy flashed in her intelligent, azure eyes, and her undisguised excitement was immediately revealed.

She couldn't help but clasp her hands together and smile from the bottom of her heart.

Sure enough, it really is a lamp!

Chapter Twenty-Three: Vadashi?

"How did Little Lamp end up here?"

"I haven't been able to contact you since that time... I'm really worried about you."

Nagasaki Motoyo frowned slightly, her eyes filled with worry, and took another step forward.

Chihaya Aine was puzzled by her self-talk. She could see that Takamatsu Akari was somewhat at a loss because of the other person, and she immediately became a little wary.

Full of a sense of responsibility, Aine took a step forward, inadvertently blocking Nagasaki Motoyo's view.

"Excuse me, are you Dengdeng's friend?"

Suddenly, the pink-haired girl in front of him and the lamp blocked his way. Nagasaki Motoyo seemed to realize that he had lost his composure and quickly took a step back to adjust his posture.

"Sorry, I'm just a little too excited because I haven't seen lights in a long time."

Although we don't know who the pink-haired girl with the lamp is, the fact that she can walk with her so familiarly and even use such an affectionate name as 'Lamp' clearly indicates that their relationship is more than just ordinary.

The other person could be a friend that Deng has made during this period, or it could be the opportunity for Deng to come out of this situation.

Regardless of which one, both are valuable connections for Nagasaki Motoyo, who wants to rebuild CRYCHIC.

"My name is Nagasaki Motoyo, and I was a friend of Akari's from the same band."

Nagasaki Motoyo gently clasped her hands together and introduced herself to Chihaya Aine with great elegance and politeness.

Her elegant and dignified appearance gives people a great sense of closeness, and coupled with her motherly and tolerant smile, it is hard for people to feel any aversion towards her.

Upon hearing this, Aine suddenly realized, "The same band? So it's the same one as Riki-chan?"

Lixi?

"Could you tell me more about this?"

A glint of light flashed in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes; she hadn't expected to hear Riki's name from the other person.

Not only that, there's also the black instrument bag that Chihaya Aine carries—

Inside, there should be a guitar, right?

Could it be that, without his knowledge, Deng has already started forming a band again?

"Ah! But Deng and I have to rush to the livehouse right now..."

Nagasaki Motoyo clapped her hands lightly, feigning a dazed expression, and said, "The nearby livehouse... ah... could it be RiNG?"

"Huh? How did Nagasaki-san know?"

Upon hearing that Chihaya Aine and Akari were indeed going to RiNG, Nagasaki Motoyo smiled kindly as if she had confirmed something.

I was right!

It turns out that Riki had already met with Akari before, and it seems that she was planning to form a band with Chihaya Aine in front of her. This is a big surprise for her.

"I'm also going over there to find Riki-chan~ How about... we go together?"

……

Throughout the journey, Nagasaki Motoyo subtly probed Aine's thoughts through casual conversation, and she was extremely surprised to learn that Akari was genuinely willing to reunite the band.

Unexpectedly, the long-absent light has truly emerged from the shadow of CRYCHIC, and Nagasaki Motoyo is genuinely happy for her.

But it also means that her idea has been able to take its first step.

Now that Deng is willing to form a new band, Lixi will definitely follow without hesitation. If I take this opportunity to join the band, and then find a way to get Mu in too...
