How can my simulation be a real love?

"Ta-da~ How is it? Pretty good?"

"Wow! That's really well done. Then let's appoint Kita-chan as Minister of Social Networks!"

Of all those present, perhaps only Hongxia failed to notice anything amiss.

Unaware of the situation, she was still excitedly talking about the band, unaware that Kita Ikuyo, despite her sunny smile, was secretly observing Ryo's direction out of the corner of her eye.

She gradually breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that Senior Ryo didn't react in any way to her interaction with Naruto.

Old things and a few Lingjiulong stables

Could it be that Ryo-senpai doesn't have that much affection for Naruto? If she really had to compete with him, Kita Ikuyo felt that her chances of winning weren't very high.

Just then, Hongxia suddenly clapped her hands together and suggested with a big smile, "In that case! How about we all get together after school this Friday to do a promotional photoshoot for the band? It just so happens that neither Naruto nor Pochi-chan have ever officially filmed any promotional videos or photos!"

"I have something to do this Friday, so I'm afraid I can't make it."

Kazami Mei gently shook her head, her refusal attracting the attention of those around her.

"Huh? Is Naru-san going to get a part-time job?"

"No, I had already arranged to teach her guitar with someone else."

she?

This short sentence immediately alerted Yamada Ryo.

Who is she?

Chapter Thirty-Six: Chihaya Aine? Bad Pink-Haired Girl! [5k]

In Japanese, the pronunciation of 'he' and 'she' is very different. You can immediately tell the difference just by listening to them, and this sentence is clearly not a slip of the tongue.

It seems that Kazami Mei doesn't have many male friends.

Therefore, the person Ming was referring to must be of the opposite sex.

Who is she?

This question immediately popped into the minds of the people present.

Even though Hongxia's mother is gentle and simple, she is still just a girl, and a strong gossip ability is a girl's natural instinct, so she immediately became very curious.

However, no matter how curious she was, she would never ask other people's private questions.

"who is she?"

But Yamada Ryo is different.

She asked directly.

Even though Ichi Nijika had a vague feeling that this guy would definitely ask directly, she didn't expect that even though she had given him such an obvious hint, he still spoke without the slightest hesitation.

Of those present, perhaps only Goto Ichiri was aware of it.

"what……"

A flicker of realization crossed Pochi's timid, azure eyes.

As one of the first people to become friends with Kazami Mei, she naturally knew that he didn't have many friends at school, and that teaching 'guitar' was something that could only be done with two people.

First up is Kita Ikuyo, who was recruited into the band by Pochi to become the lead singer and guitarist. Determined to practice guitar diligently, she often uses practicing guitar as an excuse to ask Kazami Mei and Pochi for advice.

As for the remaining one—

It's Chihaya Aine, the super popular "number two" in the same class, whom Kita privately calls "bad pink hair"!

Pochi's eyes subconsciously glanced at Kita Ikuyo beside him, only to find that the other was looking at him with the same gaze, clearly realizing at the same time who the 'she' Kazami Naruto was referring to was.

The perceptive Yamada Ryo immediately noticed that Pochi was acting somewhat unnaturally.

Novelqun㈨㈤○①㈧○㈨09

Although she is usually timid and socially anxious, she was clearly acting differently today, as if she vaguely knew something secret.

"Pochi, do you know anything?"

"Eh? I..."

Suddenly questioned, Goto Ichiri's eyes began to dart away, and he quickly turned his gaze to Kazami Naru.

After all, this is Mingsang's private matter, and it is very likely just my own speculation, so I can't just say it casually.

"She's the guitarist of another band. Because she felt that her guitar skills weren't outstanding enough, she asked me, as a friend, to teach her and also to learn some music theory."

Seeing the troubled look on Pochi's face, Kazami Mei spoke up without any hesitation.

There was really nothing to hide. In the simulation, he and Chihaya Aine knew each other inside and out, but reality was not a simulation like a game. The two were just friends in the same band.

Even if the pink-haired girl has some feelings for him, they probably haven't developed into anything beyond friendship yet.

"Is that so?"

Yamada Ryo nodded thoughtfully, believing that Kazami Mei wouldn't lie to them.

Judging from Poch's reaction, it must be true, but even so, she couldn't afford to relax for even a moment.

With so many places to learn guitar, why choose Kazami Mei?

She had great faith in her intuition; she felt that things were probably not as simple as they seemed.

"Hey! So Ming-san can play the guitar too?"

Ichi Nijika blinked her beautiful crimson eyes in surprise. It was the first time they had ever heard that Kazami Mei could play the guitar, and they couldn't help but wonder what it would be like for him to play the guitar.

"I want to hear it!"

"Mingsang, I want to hear it too! I want to hear it too!"

Nijika's suggestion was immediately echoed by Kita-san, whose star-like yellow-green eyes stared expectantly at Kazami Mei. The dazzling sunlight made Pochi, who was caught in the glare, begin to melt.

Although Yamada Ryo didn't speak, the slight upturn of her lips clearly indicated that she was also interested.

"Oh, isn't everyone supposed to be practicing their ensemble today? I even rented a recording studio specifically for this day!"

"How about Ming-sang plays a couple of guitar pieces first? Please!"

Hongxia gently clapped her little hands, pleading earnestly with an adorable expression.

"what?"

Kazami Mei looked up in surprise and found several girls staring at her expectantly. For a moment, she didn't know how to refuse.

Well, it just so happens that he hasn't specifically used his guitar skills to play since he reached LV2.

This is also a good time to test your skills; playing a few notes casually is perfectly fine.

It wasn't because Hongxia's mom's request was so cute that he couldn't refuse.

……

Since Kazami Mei doesn't have her own guitar, and she can't use the [Aine's Fender Guitar] she obtained in the simulation in front of everyone, she simply borrowed Pochi's big black card to use.

hum...

He plugged a cable into the end of the guitar, connecting it from the delay effect unit to the amp. After making some adjustments on the amp, bursts of static from the electric guitar emanated from it, and he held the large black card guitar in his arms.

"Isn't that kid supposed to be playing keyboards? Why is he playing guitar?"

"I heard that Hongxia discovered he could play the guitar, so she wanted him to perform for her."

In the distance, Ijichi Seika, who had just received a bottle of 'good juice' from Ms. PA, frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Kazami Mei with a somewhat strange gaze.

She had never even seen him play the keyboard, but she saw him playing the guitar first.

"That kid, he wasn't just saying that offhand, was he?"

To be honest, Iji Tomoka doesn't have much faith in Kazami Mei's abilities.

There are geniuses at his age, but learning two instruments at the same time means that he won't be proficient in either one, not to mention that Hongxia said he would be responsible for the band's arrangement.

Human energy is limited.

Too much knowledge is hard to digest. Practicing each instrument requires a lot of time and effort. No matter how talented a person is, it is difficult to master two instruments at his age, let alone be involved in composition.

"Hmm~ So what should we play?"

Holding the large black card, Kazami Naruto began to hesitate.

The expectant looks from the girls around him made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

His guitar skills are only at LV2. He is someone who doesn't play guitar at all, and of course, he has never played any of the well-known popular guitar pieces.

If he were to play a guitar for the first time and not play a piece he was familiar with, he would definitely make a complete mess of it.

The most suitable piece for him to play right now, and one he's familiar with, is of course...

Original song!

Kazami Mei is, of course, most familiar with the original songs he composed.

Even though she had many high-quality original songs that she had created in the simulation in her mind, her guitar skills at LV2 were not enough to play them perfectly at this moment. For example, Chihaya Aine's "Sakura" and Ryo's "Naruki Nara no Hachiko".

These are all fast-paced and complex piano pieces.

If you want to play a soothing melody on an electric guitar, anything too difficult won't work.

Since that's the case, shall we use that one?

blah blah blah...

The sharp tip of the pick gently glides across the steel strings, and a soothing, low melody gradually emerges from the speakers. The moment the key begins, this warm yet somewhat melancholic melody immediately sends shivers down your spine.

What a wonderful, deep melody! This style gives people a unique feeling.

However, I've never heard of it.

"Original song?"

Yamada Ryo's calm yet hesitant words expressed the thoughts of everyone present.

Kazami Mei, engrossed in his performance, paid no attention to the astonishment around him. His gaze remained calm as he immersed himself in his own music.

The slender fingers began to gradually increase the rhythm of striking the frets, and the right-hand pick began to shift from the cheap, deep, and resonant sixth and fifth strings to the more sharp and elegant first and second strings.

The originally somber and sorrowful melody gradually became more stirring, as if it had been suppressed before rising.

It was as if it were a weak little bird born in a nest, which could only hide timidly in the full wings of the big bird because it had been injured.

But whether it's a bird or a person, they all eventually grow up and lose their wings and the protection of others. The little bird that loses its protection can only desperately spread its already well-developed wings, fight off the inferiority and shadow in its heart, and fly from the wisteria tree into the blue sky.

The protected creature will also become the 'wings' to protect others.

"Ok?"

The melody suddenly and strangely changes midway through, gradually transforming into a melody that is both intense and restrained.

Even though the melody lasted only a few seconds, it made Yamada Ryo, who was listening intently, freeze for a moment, and then an extremely incredulous expression appeared on her exquisite face.

That short melody just now sounded familiar...

The moment she heard that melody, Miss Liang felt as if her soul had transformed into the steel strings of a guitar, gently plucked by his clean and crisp pick.

The warmth and sadness that gradually welled up made a trace of melancholy flash in her eyes.

After a long while, the music ended.

"call……"

Kazami Mei slowly put down the pick in his hand. He had just gotten into the mood and became a little too engrossed in playing. After playing a few solos, the skin on his left hand was dry and cracked.

The melodies of other pieces were seamlessly integrated into this piece halfway through, and surprisingly, it didn't feel abrupt at all.

"Wow, that's amazing! Ming Sang is so handsome!"

Splat splat splat!

The first to exclaim was Kita Ikuyo. With a shocked and delighted expression, she clapped her hands rapidly. Because of the high frequency and force, her pretty little hands were clapping quite red, but she still showed no sign of stopping.

This was the first time Kita Ikuyo had seen Kazami Mei so intently absorbed in something, looking so cool.

Although it was a little embarrassing to say, she was completely captivated by his charm.

Filled with admiration and shyness for her beloved, Kita Ikuyo immediately went to Kazami Mei after the performance and expressed her excitement and joy without reservation.
