How can my simulation be a real love?

"That's true~ It's such a pity... I also wanted to go shopping at clothing stores with Aine!"

Seeing that both of them seemed to have other things to deal with, Kita and Aine secretly rejoiced.

This way, we can get out of their sight and better track Kazami Mei and Wakaba Mutsu!

Kita was secretly delighted, but on the surface she still frowned and said softly, "In that case, Pochi-chan and I will be leaving now. See you at school tomorrow and we can talk about the latest clothes again?"

"Great! I actually know quite a bit about clothing!"

Ai Yin playfully touched the tips of her ten fingers together, chuckling as she revealed her adorable little tiger teeth.

"Well then, Kita-kun, Touka and I—"

"Ming..."

Just as Kita and Aine breathed a sigh of relief and were about to leave...

Standing silently to the side, Takamatsu Akari suddenly spoke softly, and it was this soft murmur that instantly attracted the attention of several girls around her.

Unsurprisingly, Kita and Aine turned to look at the same time.

A familiar black figure appeared outside the clothing store.

Kazami Mei had just finished taking photos with Wakaba Mutsu, and then continued to pick out some simple accessories in the store. These were just ordinary experiences for ordinary people, but they were something Wakaba Mutsu had never tried before.

"..."

Ruoye Mu stared intently at the pile of odds and ends in front of her; most of these were just cheap plastic products.

Even if all the things here were added together, they wouldn't be worth as much as a simple little bracelet she wore when she went out to entertain guests.

Even so, she was choosing very carefully.

Have you picked out your favorite?

Kazami Mei was also admiring the serious expression on the little wooden boy's face.

"Well, this."

After much deliberation, Wakaba Mutsu finally made up her mind and selected a cucumber-shaped keychain from the pile of trinkets. She held the cute little plastic cucumber tightly in her palm and then handed it to Kazami Mei.

"This is for Ming."

"Give it to me?"

Kazami Mei was somewhat flattered by the sudden gift.

He had initially thought that Xiao Mu was just casually picking out a small trinket she liked as a souvenir, but he never expected that it was actually a gift for him. Could this be the reason why she had spent so much time carefully choosing it?

Oh no, has he already fallen for Little Wooden Head?

As expected, good looks only account for 30% of his charm; the remaining 70% comes from his mouth and teeth!

Even the usually quiet Little Cucumber took the initiative to give him a gift, which directly became a token of their love?

"...Ming, you don't like it?"

When Ruoye Mu held the cucumber keychain in her small hand, she noticed that Fengjianming didn't take it directly but rather hesitated and put it away.

Even though her face didn't show any change in expression, people could still sense the disappointment in her heart.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, and you can't go back on your word."

Knowing that the little wooden boy in front of him had spent so much time carefully selecting a gift for him, he was already quite pleased with the earnestness and overflowing sentiment shown by the boy.

How could I not accept it?

Not to mention, he actually quite likes cucumbers.

In every sense of the word.

……

the other side--

"Well……"

"what……"

Kita-san and Aine-san, who were watching the two people's every move, were so envious and jealous of the little wooden boy who could go on a date with Kazami Naru that their usual smiles became somewhat unnatural.

Even the tone of his voice carried a distinct hint of sourness.

Why is this girl who suddenly appeared so close to Ming?

Not reconciled!

At that moment, they suddenly realized something.

Kita Ikuyo forced herself to look away.

As soon as she turned her head, she met Chihaya Aine's eyes. At that moment, they both noticed the very unnatural smile on each other's faces, and a sense of unease quietly rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Probably not?

Difficult, could it be?

Wu Lingyi bullies leeks

Chihaya/Kita is also following Naruto!?

A strong sense of crisis instantly surged into Kita's heart. She never expected that this seemingly cheerful and optimistic pink-haired girl would be secretly doing such a despicable thing. Could it be that she also had some 'malicious' purpose towards Mei-san?

Damn it, Chihaya must think it's prestigious to date a handsome guy like Naruto!

Such a superficial reason is simply not on the same level as her love that transcended life and death and regret!

"Um, does that mean Aine-chan and you guys were secretly following Naru-san?"

Having already sensed the danger, Kita quickly glanced at Riki and Akari behind Aine.

Kita Ikuyo knew very well that Kodama, whom she had known for a long time, had a good relationship with Naruto, but in her opinion, the feelings between the two were more like the affection between siblings than 'romantic'.

It's unlikely that we've reached the point where we're in a romantic relationship.

Given Xiaodeng's innocent personality, she probably doesn't even know what 'love' is.

Xiao Deng was probably just persuaded to come along!

As for the girl with long, straight black hair who looked somewhat fierce, she crossed her arms and appeared indifferent and uninterested. When Kazami Mei appeared, she didn't look away much, clearly showing little interest in Mei-san.

In other words, the most important person is still Chihaya-kun in front of us, right?

At this moment, a cosmic storm began to run at high speed in Kita's little brain, and in just a few seconds she basically judged that Chihaya Aine was very likely the 'danger' she needed to be most wary of.

"Kita-kun, you and Goto-kun were secretly following Naruto too, weren't you?"

Like Kita Ikuyo, Chihaya Aine immediately identified the problem with the two people opposite her.

She knew that Kita and Pochi were members of another band of Kazami Mei. Although the timid Goto had known Mei for the longest time, Aine thought that he probably didn't have any special feelings for Mei.

Even if they have ideas, they are the least threatening kind!

They are so weak that they don't even qualify as 'love rivals' and pose absolutely no threat.

But Kita in front of me is completely different.

When Chihaya Aine first met Kita Ikuyo, Kita, who had no shortage of friends, she took the initiative to come over and share her lunch with everyone. Her cheerful and lively personality quickly increased Aine's liking for her...

Looking back now, it seems that Kita was deliberately trying to steer the conversation towards Naruto during the meal.

At the time, Chihaya Aine didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but now that she thinks about it carefully—

Did Kita Ikuyo really just want to get closer to him, the transfer student?

Is it possible that she was just using this as an excuse to get closer to the person she liked?

That red-haired fox spirit is definitely only trying to cling to Ming Sang because she's good-looking!

Her shallow thinking is on a completely different level from the beautiful love story of Chihaya Aine and Kazami Mei, who spend their lives together in a parallel world. It's outrageous!

"Haha~ My relationship with Ming-san isn't just that of ordinary bandmates! We keep in touch even when we're not doing band activities, and Ming-san and I sometimes go home together."

"As a good friend, I was just worried that he might be scammed, so I came to check on him."

"Oh, I see~"

Big fire!

Hearing Kita Ikuyo's matter-of-fact tone as a 'good friend,' Aine, who considered herself his girlfriend, felt incredibly angry.

Even though he maintained a flawless, positive smile on his face, he was already very unhappy inside.

This statement makes it sound as if she and Mingming are just 'ordinary' bandmates!

"I'm also Mingming's good friend! I'm worried because he always eats unhealthy food at school, so I usually make him some bento boxes~"

"So now he's gotten used to eating my bento boxes? It's a bit of a headache."

accurate!

Kita Ikuyo's bright smile was slightly stiff; she was so smug for only letting Naruto eat two bento boxes.

You should know that in the 'dream', Ming confessed to her, and even in reality, they had many intimate interactions like a couple!

Chihaya-san is clearly a latecomer!

In just a few words, the two had already confirmed each other's status as 'love rivals'.

The atmosphere gradually became tense and confrontational.

"Everyone... please don't do this..."

A slight, trembling sob suddenly reached my ears from beside me.

Standing beside them, Takamatsu Akari pursed her lips slightly, her gray hair, which seemed to have lost its warmth, drooped down beside her ears, and she looked somewhat flustered. She quickly leaned over and gently tugged at Aine's sleeve with her small hand reaching out from below.

This subtle yet unconstrained movement instantly calmed Aine down from her initial emotional outburst.

Faced with the increasingly tense atmosphere between Kita and Aine, Takamatsu Akari, who was already very sensitive to interpersonal relationships, seemed quite helpless at this moment, and a layer of crystal mist unconsciously rose in her amber eyes.

Takamatsu opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, but in the end he couldn't speak.

"You guys..."

"Just enough is enough!"

Her sharp and powerful rebuke echoed in their ears.

At this moment, Shiina Riki's brows were furrowed, and her tightly clenched fists seemed to be suppressing the emotions that were about to explode. But the next moment, unable to hold back any longer, she suddenly raised her head, and her long black hair danced in the air with the swift movement.

The nonchalance she once displayed had long since vanished from her brow.

The sharp, piercing light beneath his deep purple eyes swept fiercely across their faces.

"Light, let's go!"

Old things and a few Lingjiulong stables

Seeing that Dengdu was almost in tears because of these two guys, Lixi, as a friend, certainly couldn't just stand by and do nothing!

Without saying a word, she pulled Gao Songdeng to her side, clearly indicating that she wanted to take her away.

"You guys should sort out your own problems. Deng and I aren't going to put up with this!"

When she was forming the band again, she vowed in her heart that she would never let Deng be hurt a second time. Of course, she would not allow anyone to hurt Deng, who was so innocent and always so lonely!

If I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have let the lamp come along!

"I'm so sorry, Dengdeng... It's all my fault!! Please forgive me, I'll do anything you ask!"

"Tomikazuchi-chan, I'm so sorry! I...I...I bow down to you to apologize, please don't be angry with me!"

Both of them were originally cheerful, lively, kind, and positive girls, and they were also friends of Deng.

After realizing that her impulsive actions had almost made the most easily hurt child cry, self-blame and guilt immediately overwhelmed the last spark of anger in her mind.

Without hesitation, they put aside their dispute and quickly ran over to sincerely apologize to the lamp.

"No, it's okay..."

"As long as everyone gets along well..."

Seeing that the two were no longer at odds, Takamatsu's initial feelings of loss and sadness improved considerably.

Because of the arguments that occurred when her previous band CRYCHIC disbanded, she was left with a significant emotional scar. Now, whenever something happens between her friends, she becomes unable to say anything, just like before.

Ultimately, this can only lead to the worst possible outcome.
