How can my simulation be a real love?

Surprisingly, it was simple.

Chihaya Aine blinked curiously: "What's wrong with my room?"

"Shouldn't someone as trendy as Chihaya have all sorts of party stuff, trendy clothes, magazines, cosmetics, and bubble tea in her room?"

Pearl milk tea?

Kazami Mei glanced stiffly at Kita Ikuyo beside her, only to find that the other was looking back at her with the same gaze. Upon hearing this, Chihaya Aine burst out laughing.

"Haha~ That's such a stereotype!"

Goto-kun is surprisingly interesting.

"Then let's not delay and get ready to begin today's practice."

Kazami Mei gently placed the guitar bag on the ground, immediately attracting the attention of those around her.

Especially when he took out that special Fender guitar, Chihaya Aine was clearly stunned.

Chapter Two: Guitar. I only know a little bit. [5k]

It was a very old-looking guitar with obvious scratches and wear marks on its surface.

Over time, the body of the instrument began to fade, and the metal parts changed color due to oxidation. The knobs had obviously been replaced many times, yet they still maintained the stability of the steel strings.

Even though it's quite old, it's enough to show how much the owner cherishes and values ​​it.

This is one of the 'rewards' obtained from Chihaya Aine's simulation.

This guitar, a token of love that she has played for decades, carries the giver's passionate love and the owner's unforgettable memories and emotions for its owner.

It is an irreplaceable treasure.

“That…that guitar…”

豝燱4903 navel nine

Sitting there, Chihaya Aine felt her breathing become uncontrollably rapid!

Even though the fragments in the 'dream' weren't particularly complete, she immediately recognized the unique Fender guitar in Kazami's hand, a well-known model called StratoCaster!

That was a gift from Kazami Mei to commemorate their love, and it was the first gift she ever received!

"Hey! So Ming-san has his own guitar? And it looks really old!"

"Can I touch it?"

While the pink-haired girl was engrossed in her own world, Kita Ikuyo didn't hesitate to approach her, using the excuse of looking at the guitar to quietly close the distance between herself and Kazami Mei.

The girl's faint fragrance wafted through the air and reached my nose.

Because it was summer, Kita-san was only wearing a light short-sleeved white shirt. As they got closer, her delicate collarbone and fair neck were exposed to Kazami Mei's eyes, revealing glimpses of youthful beauty.

"...Touch it."

Kazami Mei slightly shifted her gaze, a small movement that was immediately noticed by the perceptive Kita.

A glint of light flashed in the red-haired girl's eyes, and she raised the corners of her mouth slightly as she moved a little closer to Kazami Mei.

This action seemed to be an attempt to get closer to examine the guitar in his hand. After hearing "you can touch it," she almost couldn't resist touching him, but after glancing at Ming's changing expression, she deliberately distanced herself.

This smooth and fluid combo left Goto Ichiri, standing beside him, speechless with admiration.

"Mingming, what's this guitar?"

Chihaya Aine's tone was somewhat urgent, her crystal-like gray eyes staring intently at Kazami Naruto's face.

Anticipation, trepidation...

"This is the guitar my grandmother used when she was young. Although it's a bit old, it still has all the necessary functions."

Chihaya Aine:?

His casual explanation left Miss Aine completely bewildered.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, the guitar that Mingming gave him as a "token of love" was a brand new Stratocaster, and this one in front of him is exactly the same model and color...

It's clearly not related to 'brand new' at all.

So, when Kazami Naruto gifted him the guitar, it was the same model as his relative's?

As expected, I am highly valued in his eyes!

Thinking of this, a shy blush appeared on Miss Aine's pretty face, and her joy was already reflected in her body language. She sat on the ground in a very girlish posture.

She hugged the soft pillow with both hands to cover her flushed face, while her body swayed slightly forward.

Both Kita-san and Aine-san have their own thoughts and feelings.

Only Boqi-chan actually came to practice guitar.

Just as Goto Ichiri took out her big black card, ready to start teaching guitar as usual, Kita-san raised her right hand very quickly, like a primary school student answering a teacher's question.

Then, under the questioning gazes of Ai and Boqi, she spoke with great interest: "That—"

"I'd like to hear Ming-sang play the guitar. Her original piece moved me deeply last time! If I can hear her play today, I'll definitely be more motivated to practice later!"

"Huh? That's not fair!"

Upon hearing that Kita had heard Kazami Naru's guitar performance before her, Chihaya Aine immediately panicked. The feeling of being beaten to it by another woman made her extremely uncomfortable!

Without hesitation, Aine immediately joined in and started shaking Kazami Naruto's arm.

"Chirp! Chirp! I want to hear it too! Even Kita-chan has heard it!"

"That's right! That's right! Let's play a little bit for Aine-chan!"

The two, who had previously been at odds, suddenly became extremely in sync at this moment.

The two of them simultaneously used their innate girlish charm, their coquettish tone making Kazami Naru's scalp tingle.

Because he really couldn't persuade the two of them, Kazami Mei could only roll his eyes and extend his right index finger.

Bang!

"Ouch! Why are you only hitting me?!"

Chihaya Aine immediately covered her slightly reddened forehead. The sudden finger flick had caused considerable damage to her fragile heart!

This is domestic violence!

Even though Kita-san was cheering her on, Kazami Mei simply flicked her forehead without any expression. This kind of differential treatment made Aine puff out her cheeks in annoyance.

But just as she was preparing to protest—

Kita Ikuyo, who was standing next to him, suddenly took a deep breath.

She quickly moved her calf and stared at Kazami Mei with a very serious expression.

"That's not fair! Why won't Mingsang hit me?"

"what?"

Chihaya Aine, who was somewhat stunned, suddenly turned her head and looked at Kita with a surprised expression.

Seeing that Kitana didn't seem to be joking, she slowly swallowed.

Play so big?

A strange glint appeared in Miss Aine's beautiful grey-silver eyes.

She gently furrowed her delicate, arched eyebrows and looked at Kita Ikuyo beside her with a very subtle expression. Then she silently moved her body away, quietly distancing herself from this strange man.

"You two, you must be here to practice the piano, right?"

“Especially Kita, the band is about to finish and they’re preparing for their first live performance, so you have to keep up the good work.”

Kazami Naruto's expressionless words left Kita and Aine with no choice but to lower their heads in frustration.

What he said wasn't wrong. After all, the band's first performance was just around the corner, and Ms. Kita hadn't even mastered the chords yet. If she didn't practice more quickly, she would only be able to go on stage and sing without a guitar.

Although his deliberately harsh words had some effect, it wasn't very significant.

Especially that pink-haired girl, staring at us with such a wronged and resentful expression, just like a child who wouldn't let her buy a toy and was throwing a tantrum at her parents.

These two lively and energetic corners are brimming with boundless energy and sunshine.

The two of them getting together amplified their already terrifying "socially active" energy, and Bochi, standing nearby, almost turned into a salted slug because of their solar energy.

"Ugh……"

Seeing the two obediently take out their guitars, Kazami Mei sighed helplessly.

There was no way around it; I finally gave in to my soft heart.

"I'll play one piece, and after listening to it, I'll start practicing right away."

Ultimately, because she was too soft-hearted to go against the two, Kazami Mei finally relented under their watchful eyes.

His words immediately turned their sorrow into joy. The previously gloomy mood was like the dark clouds in the sky, which suddenly cleared up.

"Great!"

Kita Ikuyo's eyes lit up, and she immediately hugged Kazami Naruto.

"Ming-sang, I like it!"

"Kita-chan~"

Her words instantly made Chihaya Aine's expression freeze. She narrowed her eyes and gave a stiff smile, pulling Kita Ikuyo away from Kazami Naru with great displeasure.

You despicable redhead, why are you confessing your love in the chaos?!

"Stop fooling around, everyone sit down now."

Kazami Mei's short sentence immediately brought the two girls, who were still glaring at each other, back to their senses.

Kita-san's vibrant golden-green eyes seemed to radiate a star-like brilliance as she sat obediently with her legs together, just like a devoted fangirl admiring her idol.

She gently placed her little hands on her thighs, revealing an adorable, upright posture.

Aine, who had initially felt a little wronged, smiled smugly, her adorable, dejected face instantly transforming into the energetic and cheerful one she had been at the beginning.

There was even a tiny bit of joy in my heart.

Hmph~ As expected, Mingming is just a tsundere.

They say no, but in the end they still obediently give in to their own desires.

Kita Ikuyo didn't seem to care much. Her eyes shone with anticipation as she asked, "Will you play that beautiful original song again, just like last time?"

Kazami Mei hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Actually, I don't know many pieces to play."

"Compared to the piano, I really only know a little bit about the guitar."

Kazami Mei's pick gently touched the steel strings of the Fender guitar; even though it was so old, the steel strings were brand new and bright silver.

The moment it is touched, it vibrates slightly and emits a stable resonance.

The piece he previously played for STARRY, "Wisteria Bird," is a rich and melodious piece with a slow and gentle melody that is also suitable for players who are not yet skilled.

Kazami Mei's guitar skill level is only LV2, so theoretically she shouldn't be able to play any particularly difficult pieces.

But the moment he touched the Fender guitar in his hand, a strange power seemed to surge from the guitar's steel strings into his body. It was a warm and stable sense of comfort that made all the muscles in his body relax involuntarily.

"This is?"

Kazami Mei looked at the guitar in her hand with surprise; a faint light reflected off the bright silver steel strings.

I want to play—俤—

It seemed to be the power emanating from this guitar that made Kazami Mei unable to resist plucking the strings.

( Thousands of Xun ) ④㈨澪弎⒎⑨/

He often uses his powerful fingertips, which he uses to play the piano, to strike the frets of the fingerboard with precision. His right hand sweeps up and down alternately, accompanied by a rapid melody that makes your heart race, as fierce and swift as a blizzard passing through the cold wind.

The music played on the guitar is the result of the player touching their own soul with the strings.

The speed of the pick's strokes increased again, and the complex and layered melody was like a whirlwind.

The short intro immediately captivated the audience, making their heartbeats and breathing rhythms freeze with the swift, wind-like strumming.

Cold and aloof—

Over time, the guitar's tone has undergone a slight change, becoming more stable and mellow, and producing a sound full of rich layers and power.
