How can my simulation be a real love?

"Am I... really useless?"

His tone was joking, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

Kazami Mei had noticed long ago that the girl's delicate fingertips were covered in cuts and scratches from excessive wear. Such wounds could not have been caused without prolonged and excessive contact with the hard steel strings.

She deliberately removed the bandages she was wearing and applied a thick layer of hand cream to make herself less noticeable.

Isn't she the real idiot?

Seeing Aine's disappointed expression, Kazami Mei put one hand on her hip and sighed softly.

"Then wouldn't I be even more useless?"

"Eh?"

“I’ve spent far more time on music than you have, yet you’ve almost caught up to my playing level in less than a month. I hate to admit it… but you’re really smart.”

This was the first time Kazami Mei had formally praised her.

Just as the girl was stunned, Kazami stepped forward and ruffled her carefully styled hair into a mess. Before Aine could complain, he gently pinched her cheek, forcing the two of them to look at each other.

His direct gaze seemed to pierce her soul.

Boom, boom, boom...

Chihaya Aine's heart began to race involuntarily as she nervously looked at Kazami Naruto, whose face was full of seriousness.

What will he say?

"Don't run away."

He spoke, his calm voice possessing an unshakeable composure.

You work harder than anyone else.

"You are not a burden in anyone's eyes."

He gently stroked the girl's bangs. This was the first time Chihaya Aine had seen such a gentle light in his eyes, and the smile on his face made her heart almost stop beating for the first time.

“Aine——”

"You are no worse than anyone else."

His words were like a pendulum striking the bell of the soul.

The girl could only stare blankly ahead, forgetting how to speak.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses. Chihaya Aine quickly turned around and pretended to casually rub her messed-up bangs, but actually took the opportunity to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

In order to avoid being discovered, I could only take deep breaths as fast as I could, trying to calm my turbulent emotions.

Her efforts will be recognized.

"what!"

"Tingting... I forgot to ride the Ferris wheel..."

The silly pink-haired girl turned around and looked at him with a somewhat aggrieved expression. At this moment, Aine had completely lost her usual tact and rationality, and could only awkwardly and clumsily change the subject.

Her pitiful appearance was like that of an abandoned puppy, making one want to rush over and hug her tightly, gently stroking her head to comfort her.

Kazami Mei smiled somewhat helplessly.

In the end, he couldn't resist reaching out to help Aine comb a stray lock of hair from her temple.

"How about we go on a Ferris wheel together on our next date?"

"But you can't expect me to invite you again next time, can you?"

His somewhat teasing words made the girl pause slightly. She stared blankly in the direction of Kazami Naruto with her mouth agape. Her cute little tiger teeth shimmered with a warm light under the setting sun, and a smile involuntarily crept onto the corners of her mouth.

Hmph~ Do you want her to invite you?

"How arrogant~"

The next time, the two were on a Ferris wheel.

She's about to confess her feelings.

……

[You decisively invited Chihaya Aine on a date, successfully bringing her out of her confused state. At this moment, she finally realized that Rana's presence would not make her feel like a burden in the band, nor would she be the one you saw as a liability.]

Your relationship with Chihaya Aine has deepened.

We've won! We're so excited!

As Kazami Mei recovered from the fragments of memory, she gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

Although most of it was just a simple text simulation, and the memory fragments were only the brief scene of the date, Kazami Mei was able to sense the current progress of the romance from such a short scene.

The simulation is not far from success.

That pink-haired girl must be secretly in love with him!

After being rejected repeatedly in his confessions, Kazami Mei suddenly gained a bit more confidence.

He suddenly felt incredibly charming, and he was sure that if he confessed his feelings again this time, he would win her heart on the first try!

This time, if he were to confess to Chihaya Aine again, the outcome might be different. The great Aine will break the curse of Chihaya Aine and Kita-chan!

There are only three things to do!

He decided to take a gamble on his next confession option!

[The band is getting back on track, and to put Gao Songdeng at ease, Li Xi specially accepted the invitation to perform live on stage.]

Unlike before, Chihaya Aine did not show any signs of weakness after your training this time. As a rhythm guitarist, her level is now up to par, and Shiina Tatsuki's impression of her has also changed.

However, Shiina Tatsuki still has a very bad impression of you.

She doesn't know that you've been focusing all your energy on teaching Ai Yin guitar. You kept saying you wanted to be the keyboardist and 'arranger,' but your playing skills are still far inferior to Xiang Zi's, and you haven't even really started arranging music yet.

She thinks you're putting on a brave face, and even with Takamatsu Akari there to mediate, her attitude towards you is still very bad. Chihaya Aine couldn't help but argue with her many times, but you stopped her because you didn't want to cause a conflict.

[Because you know, even so, Lixi didn't say anything harsh to you as a band member, and even hinted that 'if you can't handle the arrangement work, then hand it over to her.']

Li Xi is starting to doubt his professionalism again.

Because Kazami Mei has focused almost all her energy on that idiot pink-haired girl in this simulation, the band hasn't even started composing their first original song yet, while their first live performance is about to begin. Naturally, this will make Riki somewhat dissatisfied.

You can't really go on stage and play Kasuga Kage, can you?

If he puts Li Xi like this and still doesn't say anything, then he'll really start to suspect that Li Xi has a crush on him.

Even in this situation, the kind-hearted Li Xige only put a little pressure on him instead of attacking him directly with sharp words. She even said somewhat arrogantly that she would let her handle the 'arrangement' to relieve her own pressure.

Lixi, you're so kind, I'm crying my eyes out.

Faced with Shiina Tatsuki's questioning, you decide—

[1. Ignore it; her pressure has no real effect on you.]

2. Pay more attention to the band and start working on the arrangement.

[3. How dare Li Xi put pressure on me? I'll just confess my feelings to you!]

4. Virtual Reality, Personal Simulation

What kind of option is that direct confession? Kazami Mei thought it was to confess to Chihaya Aine and almost blindly chose it, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was to confess to Ritsuki.

I confessed my feelings to Li Xi, haha.

I've always considered Li Xi as a brother.

Regardless of the choices made this time, it's clear that the band's problems are quite significant. Now that Chihaya Aine's emotional journey has progressed considerably, it's time to pay more attention to the band's situation.

She has to make a good impression on Li Xi, otherwise what if she really explodes?

Choose the second one!

[You also noticed that the band was slacking off a bit, so you suggested to Aine that we reduce the practice time. Chihaya Aine knew that you were putting in a lot of effort for her, and if you hadn't stopped her, she would have gone to argue with Ritsuki directly.]

She readily agreed to your request.

[With your first live performance drawing ever closer, you've begun to focus all your energy on arranging and keyboard practice, and your strong knowledge of music theory and composition skills are finally on full display.]

[You created your first melody in less than three days]

[Shiina Tatsuki, who was initially very dissatisfied with you and almost verbally abused you, fell into an eerie silence the moment she heard this melody. This time, she didn't say anything, but just stared at you with a complicated look.]

[Your arrangement skills have been recognized by everyone. Takamatsu Akari, who had been feeling uneasy, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chihaya Aine proudly held her head high all day long, as if she were the one who composed the music.]

[Only Nagasaki Motoyo seems to have a more subtle look in her eyes when she looks at you.]

Chapter Thirty-Two: This is a Trial [5k]

[Your arrangement skills have been recognized by the band members, and Shiina Tatsuki's impression of you has changed. However, this does not mean that her attitude towards you has not changed. Perhaps it's just because she noticed that Takamatsu Akari often looks at you with a frustrated look.]

[You didn't pay much attention to Takamatsu Akari's disappointment. In Shiina Tatsuki's eyes, you were only closer to Chihaya Aine, which made her feel dissatisfied and complicated, but in the end she didn't say anything.]

As you begin arranging the music, the band is finally starting to get back on track.

Your relationship with everyone in the Mygo band has deepened.

[Shiina Tatsuki, Nagasaki Motoyo's feelings towards you have increased.]

I'm so sorry, Little Lamp!

Kazami Mei could only apologize in his heart; in the simulation, he still had to honestly follow Aine's pure love route.

If given the chance, he was also prepared to try the harem route, hoping to get both Xiaodeng and Aine to agree to be with him at the same time, so that he could have Bai Rixuan on both sides...

However, before doing this, Kazami Mei still has to overcome the biggest hurdle.

He managed to seduce both Xiaodeng and Aiyin right under the fierce nose of Xiaodeng's father, Lixi.

This is an extremely difficult task. Takamatsu is so important to Lixi. If he were to marry both Takamatsu and Aine at the same time, Lixi would probably be the first to disagree.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of look Lixi would give him when he said he wanted to marry both Xiaodeng and Aine at the same time.

She might actually use the arm muscles she'd developed from playing the drums for years to easily open his skull like unscrewing a can of dried oranges.

Wu Lingyi bullies leeks

Sigh, is it possible to reconcile?

With the band's first live performance drawing ever closer, the band members, including Chihaya Aine and you, are spending even more time practicing. They not only practice together as a group but also do extra practice sessions on their own. The tense atmosphere has made the whole band a bit strained.

[Let's be in a band together for life, starting from our very first live performance.]

In a sense, the first live performance might be the key to whether the band can continue. Even Chihaya Aine, who initially just wanted to form an entertainment band, temporarily stopped having fun with you and put the band first.

However, there seems to be one person who is experiencing some problems.

[Perhaps it's your imagination, but Nagasaki Motoyo might be hiding something lately. She's been showing signs of inattention and making mistakes during practice, and almost everyone can tell she's not in good form.]

As the bassist who helps to make the sound and rhythm more stable, her frequent lapses in concentration have already caused some dissatisfaction among Shiina Tatsuki.

[However, in order for the band's future live performances to proceed smoothly, Shiina Tatsuki only asked her to practice more. If all else failed, she would have to perform "Kasuga Kage" on stage, as long as she was familiar with this song and didn't make any mistakes.]

[Nagasaki Motoyo remained silent despite Riki's advice, and continued to make mistakes during subsequent training sessions.]

qun㈨⑤０一⑧○⑨○⑨

Her repeated silences finally became unbearable for Shiina Tatsuki.

"You've already said you wanted to rebuild the band with everyone, are you still dwelling on the past?"

Did Lixi release an exclusive item? It deals real damage.

Kazami Naruto couldn't even imagine how high the critical hit rate of that true damage was.

By simply shifting perspectives, one can perceive the devastating power of this statement, which could potentially break down defenses. This is because Su Shi is still deeply attached to the band CRYCHIC from the past, yet she is caught in a dilemma.

Li Xi's words were like a Nine-Headed Dragon Flash, tearing through her disguise.

If she doesn't break down, who will?

[Shiina Tatsuki's words provoked Nagasaki Motoyo, and her expression gradually lost its original gentleness. As the atmosphere between the two became increasingly tense, Chihaya Aine, who was not particularly aware of the situation, tried to ease the tension, but to no avail.]
