How can my simulation be a real love?

Takamatsu Akari gripped the hem of her skirt slightly with both hands, trying to look more natural. After hesitating for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to thank Kazami Mei: "...Thank you."

"In this version, you need to extend your middle finger when saying thank you."

"Hmm? Is this...like this?"

Takamatsu Akari really started fiddling with her fingers with a serious expression, and it was impossible not to look at her cute, troubled expression.

Having successfully pulled off the prank, Kazami Mei resisted the urge to take out her phone to take a picture. She casually waved at the light, then gently fastened the strap of her shoulder bag, placed it on her right shoulder, and walked towards the school gate.

Seeing that the simulator showed his relationship with Takamatsu Akari had changed from 'relatively unfamiliar' to 'slightly familiar', his somewhat melancholy mood due to the simulation gradually lifted.

Chapter Twelve: First, let's go beat up a pachinko.

"..."

It was a dream—

As if she were in a dreamlike, ethereal world, she wandered endlessly in this real dream, searching for her own 'true thing'.

But before she could reach out and grasp the light, her body had already returned her to the real world on its own.

A heavy feeling washed over her body, and her eyelids felt as if they were bound by some heavy object, making it impossible for her to move on her own.

After a while, the blue-haired girl, who was immersed in her own world, slowly sat up from the table. Still sleepy, she rubbed her temples wearily to relieve the fatigue brought on by sleep.

She didn't know if it was because she had slept for too long, but she felt her mind was a bit messy, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

I always feel like I had a very long dream, but after waking up, my mind becomes a mess and I can't remember anything. I can only vaguely remember some fragmented things, and an emotion is hard to shake off.

"I woke up, but I felt like something was wrong."

"Anyway, let's go get some pachinko first."

Hmm? Why did I think of pachinko?

Yamada Ryo, yawning and in a lazy posture, unconsciously uttered this sentence, not even realizing it herself.

I don't know if I was really groggy today, but I couldn't even speak clearly.

"Huh? That's unusual today, Liang, you woke up so quickly?"

"Is something wrong with your body?"

This is inside the livehouse 'Hoshi' in Shimokitazawa. Ijichi Nijika, who had been playing with her phone not far away, noticed what was happening here and widened her beautiful, crystal-like crimson eyes in surprise.

She was just thinking about when to wake Yamada Ryo up, but who knew she would be so unusual today and wake up on her own!

You know, if I didn't wake her up in the past, this girl might have slept straight through the night!

This might not seem like much to others, but it was extremely unusual for Liang.

Noticing this, Hongxia frowned with worry and immediately stepped forward to look her unreliable best friend up and down. She even took the initiative to carefully place the back of her hand on her forehead to measure her temperature.

After all, in Hongxia's eyes, someone with Liang's personality would probably be an unreliable type who wouldn't even bother to take care of children after marriage.

"Hongxia, what time is it now?"

"Hmm~ It should be around four o'clock in the afternoon! But Kita-chan seems to have something important to do so she can't come to practice, so it's just the two of us again today."

Upon hearing Ichiji Nijika's words, Yamada Ryo slightly furrowed her beautiful brows, feeling as if something was amiss.

After thinking about it for a while, she found it too troublesome, and since she hated troublesome things in the first place, she simply gave up thinking about it.

If she could, she would love to experience the feeling of flying through space and giving up thinking.

However, something surprised her after she woke up.

Yamada Ryo slowly raised her head and reached out to gently stroke her earlobe. She seemed to be subconsciously trying to grab something, but she only strangely touched empty air.

She always felt there must be something on her earlobe.

This stranger posture than ever before naturally caused concern for Ichiji Nijika, and even Archangel Shimokitazawa had taken out his phone to dial a mysterious emergency number.

Yamada Ryo looked at the Archangel Nijika, whose face was full of worry, and a strange emotion welled up in his heart.

“Hongxia, I don’t know why, but I feel really sorry for you.”

"Seriously, why don't you go to the neurology department at the hospital and get an X-ray?"

……

Kazami Mei is not idle on ordinary days.

Kazami Mei isn't some rich heiress from a family with thick eyebrows; she could easily find her family's shop just by walking down the street.

He had to solve all his survival problems on his own, and even his usual place of residence was a rented room near the school.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

Not only do they have to pay a considerable amount of rent every month, but they also have to deal with daily food expenses and other issues.

You know, he never skimps on food. No matter what, he has to satisfy his cravings. So, he usually spends the most money at restaurants, trying to eat at all kinds of different places.

To support this kind of consumption, he needs to sell a certain amount of his labor.

For example, going to work—

"Kazami-kun! We're almost out of coffee beans, I have to go out and restock right away. You'll be in charge of the cashier and other cashier duties today!"

"Manager, I need overtime pay."

"Okay, okay! Anyway, I'll leave everything to you today. Also, there might be a new applicant coming in later, so please keep an eye on them too! The interviews are entirely your responsibility!"

Watching the middle-aged auntie who treats coffee as her life, she uttered those words and rushed out of the store in a hurry.

Kazami Mei, who was already used to it, slowly took off her school uniform, put the headband in her mouth, and tied her black hair into a neat short ponytail.

He put a slightly rough but shimmering sunflower bracelet on his left wrist, and then skillfully changed the sign outside the store to 'Open for Business'.

That's right, the so-called part-time job is working as a barista in a coffee shop.

Of course, this wasn't all the work he had to do. Because the store was short-staffed and he was exceptionally capable, the store manager would occasionally have him work as a cashier or waiter.

In some special circumstances, he would even perform next to the piano in the store that was about to gather dust, to win over the hearts of the older women.

The reason she was hired by this store was because Kazami Mei's appearance was truly outstanding. Her streamlined and tall figure looked perfect in a black and white butler outfit, and she also possessed the powerful skill of playing the piano, which could be described as a "heartbreaker".

Such a powerful buff will naturally lead to a significant increase in the number of female customers at this store.

Ultimately, it still feels like making money by selling one's looks, similar to maid cafes in Akihabara.

"Since both involve selling one's body, it feels like being a male escort is more lucrative."

"If I ask Ms. Yamada for help now, will she let me live off her?"

With this wicked thought in mind, Kazami greeted the first customer who walked into the shop that afternoon.

She was a girl who stood out from the crowd in every place, both in terms of beauty and temperament.

Her long, smooth, shiny light blue hair cascaded down her back, with the ends tied into braids with black and green ribbons at her temples. Her occasionally furrowed eyebrows gave her a capable and sharp look, and her amber eyes, with a hint of golden light, stared calmly ahead.

No, this person looks kind of familiar?

Chapter Thirteen: Da Xiang also stooped to betrayal—

The young woman wore a white and gray women's shirt paired with a black pleated long skirt, with an elegant black silk ribbon tied around her chest as an embellishment. A pure black shoulder bag with gold trim was slung over her shoulders, and her long pigtails looked like exquisitely crafted silk, exuding an elegant charm.

This outfit looks expensive and looks very appropriate on the young girl, but it seems to have faded slightly because it has been washed too many times.

Kazami Mei recognized her identity with just a glance. Her extraordinary temperament and appearance made her the creator of CRYCHIC in MyGO!!!!!. Toyokawa Shoko.

Whether it's her outstanding appearance or her powerful aura, she always exudes a noble and elegant air. This refined demeanor, cultivated through years of pampered life, is something that ordinary people cannot imitate.

"Welcome~ This way please."

"?"

Toyokawa Shoko was clearly a little taken aback. She had double-checked that it was a Western-style coffee shop before entering, but the casual remarks of the staff made her think she had wandered into the wrong market, and she immediately fell silent.

No, perhaps this is the store's unique way of testing itself.

Rabbit House is a coffee shop with exceptionally high salaries. The unusually high salaries for a coffee shop have led to a high number of applicants who want to work there, so Toyokawa Shoko believes that the application process must be quite competitive.

The shop assistant's seemingly strange behavior was most likely a test of her ability to react in the moment.

Even in this completely incomprehensible state, she had to remain calm and adopt the most appropriate attitude.

"Hello, I am Toyokawa Shoko, who called to apply for the job before. I am very grateful that you took the time to give me an interview today."

"Oh, so the new employee the manager was talking about is you?"

Kazami Mei suddenly remembered what the shop manager had said before leaving. It turned out that the person who came to apply for the job was actually Mr. Daisho. He had just thought that the other party was just a customer who came to have coffee with a friend.

It seems that Teacher Da Xiang must have been attracted by the high salary at this store, right?

Is it possible that even Teacher Da Xiang has fallen so low as to sell her beauty for a high salary and an easy job?

"?"

Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head in confusion, her beautiful amber eyes filled with bewilderment as she looked at the handsome young man with a ponytail in front of her.

Could it be that all of this was a misunderstanding on her part, and there was actually no such thing as a test of 'on-the-spot reaction ability'?

No, things aren't that simple!

Perhaps the shop assistant is deliberately leading me astray; this could be part of a test, and we can't let our guard down yet!

"The store manager isn't here right now. She asked me to take care of you before she left. Anyway, Ms. Toyokawa, please come with me."

"Ok."

Kazami Mei was trusted by the coffee shop manager, so it was normal for him to be entrusted with tasks like vetting new applicants. However, he had never done this kind of work before, so for now, he could only take it one step at a time.

He casually changed the sign outside the shop from 'Open for Business' back to 'Preparing'.

This set a new record for the store's opening time of just one minute.

This casual attitude made Toyokawa Shoko even more skeptical. From his appearance, the shop assistant seemed to be about the same age as her, but his casual attitude showed that he seemed to be very familiar with the shop.

Is it possible for this store to hire high school students?

With a hint of skepticism in her heart, Toyokawa Shoko followed Kazami Mei to sit at a table by the window in the shop.

Since Kazami has already put up a 'Preparing' sign, you can sit anywhere at the tables where guests are being served. And being able to drink high-quality coffee freely at this shop, 'Rabbit House', is also one of the employee benefits.

"What to drink?"

"...Please just give me plain water."

Toyokawa Shoko's shoulders were still a little stiff, clearly indicating that she hadn't yet relaxed from her restrained state.

Kazami Mei took a portion of high-quality, freshly roasted coffee beans from the cabinet, ground them into small pieces, and then began brewing.

His skillful movements allowed the warm and layered aroma of coffee beans to gradually permeate the surroundings. The faint bitterness invigorated Toyokawa Shoko, who had been somewhat tense, and she unconsciously began to relax.

Warm sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the intricately patterned solid wooden table and casting a dazzling glow on the boy's profile.

His eyes were fixed on the coffee cup in his hand, his gaze unwavering. Even Xiangzi couldn't help but be captivated by his earnest and handsome face.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but sigh inwardly, acknowledging that the young shop assistant was indeed remarkably handsome.

"Please use it. If you work as a barista here, you'll also need to learn this basic skill."

"Yes."

Toyokawa Shoko held up the coffee cup that Kazami Mei handed her with both hands, carefully took a small sip, and immediately felt the sweet aroma of roasting filling her mouth. Slightly shocked, she glanced at Kazami Mei out of the corner of her eye.

She had been a little suspicious of him because of his unserious demeanor, but she didn't expect him to be so reliable once he got into work mode!

next moment--

"It's so bitter, we need to add more sugar."

Shoko Toyokawa had just begun to develop some respect for him when his frantic act of adding sugar to his coffee cup ruined it all.

Kazami Mei, of course, had no idea what Toyokawa Shoko was thinking, because the romantic simulation simulator in his mind suddenly moved, completely drawing his attention.
