How can my simulation be a real love?

"Yuan, is that so?"

"Aine-chan, she actually likes Naru-san..."

The fact that the pink-haired girl seemed so confident of victory made Kita Ikuyo start to hesitate.

Because she never expected Chihaya Aine to be so confident. Her smug look with her hands on her hips made it seem as if she had already confirmed that she was definitely the 'girlfriend'!

Why was Chihaya Aine so certain that she would be the final 'winner'?

Could it be that she has already grasped some kind of winning opportunity?

After thinking for a moment, Kita, with a slightly evasive look in his eyes, said, "I... I actually just have a bit of a crush on Naruto-san... After all, we're in the same band, and he's very reliable..."

Kita Ikuyo was afraid of fighting.

Because she didn't know what Kazami Mei's attitude was, and had no idea what 'secret weapon' Chihaya Aine had in her hands, she was hesitant to reveal her true thoughts.

“Eh…eh?!”

"I thought Kita-chan must like Naruto too!"

Ai Yin, on the other hand, opened her mouth in surprise, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.

Clearly, she hadn't expected Kita to give such an answer. The pink-haired girl, who had already considered her a 'love rival,' was now somewhat embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Oh no, is she the only one left to self-destruct?

Chihaya Aine, who had been feeling smug, suddenly blushed. Because her mind was full of her crush, she assumed that any other girl who approached Kazami Naruto must like him.

But upon closer inspection, Kita-chan and Naru-naru are in the same band.

It seemed normal for her to show interest, but did she misunderstand?

"Um, it seems I misunderstood something."

Seeing Chihaya Aine blushing and playing with the pink tips of her hair with her index finger, Kita Ikuyo breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that choosing to hide her true thoughts at this time was the right thing to do.

If you clash with Chihaya Aine, then conquering the school will become very difficult.

"Ahem... Kita-chan, there's something I've actually wanted to ask you from the very beginning..."

"I heard about 'Ryo-senpai' from Boqi-chan before. What kind of person is this 'Ryo-senpai' who ended your band?"

Because the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, Chihaya Aine could only awkwardly change the subject.

At that moment, Kita Ikuyo seemed to have seized the opportunity.

A glint flashed in her star-like golden-green eyes as a brilliant solution suddenly came to mind, and a grand plan, a veritable brainstorming session, began to take shape in Kita-san's head.

"Ryo-senpai is a super cool and super beautiful girl. Even girls would find it hard to resist her charm."

"She and Ming-san are very close, and they have some similarities in personality and interests! Although she has a cold personality, she becomes more talkative when she is around Ming-san. I've always thought that maybe Ryo-senpai likes Ming-san or something...?"

Love is war.

Only the winner gets everything, and even using some 'despicable' means is justified!

Kita Ikuyo clearly used this tactic specifically for the sake of 'war', a legendary tactic that can be described as all's fair in war—using one enemy to devour another!

Senior Liang is very strong; she can't beat him head-on.

Chihaya Aine also possessed strong self-confidence, making Kita Ikuyo hesitant to engage in battle.

So let the two of them attract each other's attention!

"Yes, is that so?"

"That girl named 'Liang' was actually..."

as predicted.

Upon hearing the information about 'Ryo', Ms. Aine's eyes immediately filled with vigilance. She lowered her head and began to think about Yamada Ryo, ignoring Kita in front of her.

This is exactly what Kita Ikuyo wanted to achieve!

……

Inside Chihaya Aine's room.

Holding her guitar, Goto Ichiri suddenly felt incredibly nervous. She sat there trembling, afraid to lift her head. Her long pink bangs covered the upper half of her face, making it difficult to discern her true thoughts from her expression.

Even though she couldn't see her face, Kazami Mei could clearly sense that she was very nervous.

"..."

Okay, how embarrassing!

Goto Ichiri was so embarrassed she could dig three bedrooms and a living room out of her toes; she sat there completely speechless, unable to think of anything to talk about.

The last time she was alone with Kazami was on the day they first met. At that time, Pochi only had apologies and fear in his mind and no other thoughts.

Now that my relationship with Ming-sang has improved, I'm actually a little unsure of what to say.

This is precisely the silence characteristic of socially anxious people!

Goto Ichiri was racking her brains trying to figure out what topics she should talk about to make the other person find it interesting.

However, her own daily activities were so limited that when she closed her eyes, all she could think of were desolate parks that even children didn't want to go to, and quiet, gloomy libraries where there was hardly any light...

At this moment, Pochi-chan had never been so envious of Kita and Aine's ability to chat so easily.

"What happened..."

But if he continues to remain silent, Mingsang will surely think that he is deliberately ignoring him!

As Goto Ichiri considered this possibility, his expression gradually became extremely stiff.

In her mind, an imaginary courtroom began to gradually form, in which pink-haired Pochi, wearing sunglasses and a judge's uniform, slammed down the gavel and delivered a verdict to the defendant Pochi below in a cold tone.

[The defendant, Boqi, was sentenced for intentionally ignoring his friend, resulting in the friend being cut off from their friendship!]

【death penalty!】

Oh my god! I absolutely refuse to do that!

"Ning, Naru-san! When you're at home, do you usually have parties with your friends?"

The moment he said those words, Goto Ichiri felt like his brain was about to explode.

She only spoke in a moment of panic, without thinking it through at all.

Before the brain could even process it, such a stupid and idiotic question had already slipped out.

You have to understand that Kazami Mei is usually a reclusive type who rarely interacts with others. There are only a handful of people at school who can talk to him. And why did he have to ask such a question of all people?!

Who would ask that if I'm throwing a party?

"...I haven't let anyone else come to my house yet."

Perhaps it was because Goto Ichiri's social anxiety was so strong that even Kazami Mei was rendered speechless by the atmosphere she unconsciously exuded.

Fortunately, he could tell that Pochi was trying hard to find a topic of conversation, and he felt a little embarrassed seeing her awkward expression.

There was no other way, so he had to come on his own.

What else does Pochi do besides playing guitar?

"Eh? This..."

Boqi-chan immediately broke out in a cold sweat and began to stammer.

You should know that during holidays, she usually gets up around 8 or 9 am to eat breakfast, then starts practicing guitar in the closet around 10 am. After lunch, she continues practicing until 6 pm when she has dinner.

I have absolutely no hobbies or interests worth mentioning!

Boqi slowly placed his large black card on Miss Aiyin's guitar stand and knelt down very awkwardly.

At this moment, her brain was racing like a swirling storm, trying her best to find a hobby that seemed relatively 'positive', and her temples were throbbing with nervousness.

"I also edit videos that I'll post on my account, and occasionally I'll write lyrics or something..."

"And...and bubble tea."

Pearl milk tea?

This isn't the first time Kazami Mei has heard this term.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him with a somewhat strange gaze. She was trembling slightly with nervousness. When she said "bubble tea", she did not show any joy on her face.

That's what seems strange.

When people think back on things they love, they often show their emotions.

"...Boqi, you don't actually like bubble tea, do you?"

"I'm sorry! I lied!"

Miss Pochi's expression froze as her lie was instantly exposed. She quickly made herself kneel on all fours in a dogeza (lower abdomen) position. Her apology and surrender were so swift that even Kazami Naruto was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

"So, why bubble tea?"

"Because bubble tea is very popular among people who are into dating..."

Upon hearing this reason, Kazami Naru's lips twitched; it really suited her personality.

Goto Ichiri seemed to want to change the awkward topic as soon as possible, so she mustered up her courage and asked Kazami Naru, "Naru, does Naru-san have any hobbies?"

Pochi's words made Kazami Mei think, as he didn't really have any hobbies.

If I had to say—

"I guess it's about growing flowers?"

2018-03-27

"Eh?! Is this true?!"

Goto Ichiri looked at Kazami Naru with a shocked expression. She never expected that the other party would say such a 'hobby'. It was too elegant!

No wonder I sometimes smell a faint floral fragrance on him, is that why?

"I occasionally grow some at home... I've also been trying to grow cucumbers recently. Would you like to come over and take a look next time?"

"Is it...is it okay?!"

It was just a simple invitation, but it made Boqi so excited that she stood up.

As a result of this accidental movement, the guitar stand was bumped, and the black and gold electric guitar leaning against it tilted forward due to the sudden vibration.

Boqi, who cherished his guitar immensely, narrowed his eyes and instinctively rushed over to try and catch it.

However, this sudden action completely disregarded the danger to himself.

Holding onto the guitar can cause the back of your head to hit the ground!

"Wow!!"

Goto Ichiri fell to the ground, clutching her guitar in both hands. She closed her eyes in fear, feeling the pain of her head hitting the ground.

But to my surprise, I didn't feel any pain for quite a while. Instead, I felt something soft and warm beneath me, a feeling I missed.

"It doesn't hurt at all! I didn't expect Chihaya-san's floor to be soft..."

"Of course you won't feel any pain."

Kazami Mei's calm figure suddenly came from behind. Goto Ichiri's expression suddenly froze. She tentatively turned her head to take a quick look, then abruptly looked away as if to confirm something.

She was sweating profusely.

If I'm not mistaken—

She was currently being held in Kazami's arms, and she had been lying there for quite a while without getting up, which was rather offensive.

"Yes, yes... I'm sorry! I'll get up right away!"

The sudden surge of shyness and panic made Boqi scramble to his feet, but in his haste, he accidentally stepped on a single-effect pedal, the triangular knob on it slapping hard against the sole of his foot.

The intense pain, like biting a Lego brick with bare feet, contorted Boqi's face in agony.

He lost his balance again.

"Eee-ah?!"

With a scream, Miss Pochi once again fell gracefully into Kazami Mei's arms.
