How can my simulation be a real love?

She ran away.

To avoid being discovered, Nagasaki Motoyo instinctively moved away from the street near this location.

"I was right..."

Nagasaki Motoyo was breathing heavily, and now she could only sit on a park bench, staring blankly at the pale yellow leaves fluttering in the distance, her heartbeat gradually slowing down.

Her mind was in a bit of a mess, and it took her a long time to gradually regain her composure, but her eyes still held a hint of surprise.

"Xiao Mu, who doesn't usually have many friends, knows Ming Sang and is even willing to play the guitar for him in public. Their relationship is definitely more than just 'friends'."

The only person who could have been so close to Xiao Mu was Toyokawa Shoko, her childhood friend!

"Kazami Mei is definitely connected to Shoko in some way...!"

Nagasaki Motoyo's mind raced, her slender fingers unconsciously rubbing the strands of hair on her shoulders.

She seemed to have found a flaw.

The moment she saw Kazami Mei playing, her heart pounded unusually. Kazami Mei standing before that familiar keyboard, playing guitar with Wakaba Mutsumi, was just like the romantic and cheerful Xiangzi from back then—

The two people look completely different, so how can they have so many similarities?

However, the intelligence was still insufficient.

"No matter what, I have to test the waters."

Nagasaki Motoyo slowly interlocked her fingers, her gaze filled with determination.

She grabbed her bag and stood up. She had only intended to get a little closer to Kazami Naruto and try to gauge how much he knew about CRYCHIC through his reactions.

But things are different now. Nagasaki Motoyo is now convinced that Kazami Mei and Shoko may be connected.

She had a feeling that Kazami Naru might know where Sho really was.

"At this point, we have to ask her for help..."

Nagasaki Motoyo leisurely took out her phone from the pocket of her skirt, then found the band group on Line and opened Chihaya Aine's private chat interface.

……

Unbeknownst to them, bursts of applause began to emanate from the surrounding area.

The moment Kazami looked up, she found that everything in front of her was completely different from before.

Dozens of passersby gathered around the area to watch their energetic performance. Many of the students passing by had excited blushes on their faces, and their faces beamed with joyful smiles that were sure to please anyone.

Playing in a rock band is more than just a pursuit of music!

This sense of accomplishment from being recognized by others is also one of the most satisfying things!

"I'll be having a live show at STARRY in Shimokitazawa this Saturday. Feel free to buy a ticket if you're interested!"

Ms. Liang, who had already put down her bass, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. Then, taking advantage of the moment when everyone around her had gathered, she picked up the white paper she had prepared beforehand and showed the audience the words written on it with an oil-based pen.

None of the three were nervous about going on stage, so their performances were quite successful even in public.

Because the performance was excellent, coupled with the deceptive nature of their faces, some naive junior high school students were fooled by the faces of Kazami Mei or Ryo-san, and willingly took out their saved pocket money to buy tickets.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

The Line tickets I have are being sold off continuously.

"Whoa whoa whoa..." Yamada Ryo frowned deeply, letting out an ambiguous exclamation.

In the blink of an eye, all ten tickets for her and Kazami were sold out!

It's not that simple; the extra live tickets that were prepared have already started selling.

There was even a blonde Shibuya girl who came up to ask, "Can I take a photo with you if I buy two?" and "How many photos do I need to buy to get your contact information?" Ms. Ryo, who had witnessed the huge business opportunity, was practically blinded by money.

A lot of money!

One banknote, two banknotes, three banknotes...

The hand that should have been holding the bass suddenly held more than a dozen dazzling thousand-yuan bills!

The fact that so many extra tickets were sold, even if the ticket money were given to Ijichi Hoshika, would still leave a lot of money. This is all due to the powerful deceptiveness that the black-haired boy with dead fish eyes next to Yamada Ryo possessed from birth!

That's a face that's incredibly 'money-making'!

"Buying a ticket includes a photo opportunity, a handshake, and even joining a fan club. The membership fee is just..."

Miss Liang, who was already obsessed with money, quickly took out a calculator and started clicking rapidly on it. As she saw the strings of numbers appearing one after another, her indifferent face became increasingly shocked.

Even his pale gold eyes had begun to gleam with the light of money.

"Ning, we're going to be rich!" In Ryo's eyes, Kazami Naru is now a huge money tree.

"Forget about it, we don't offer that kind of service."

"Any extra money must be handed over to Hongxia as funds for the band's activities."

Kazami Mei had anticipated this situation. He rolled his eyes with a hint of helplessness, then grabbed Miss Ryo by the back of her collar and pulled her away from the customers who were about to sell tickets.

Fortunately, Hongxia's mother has a clear understanding of Liang's personality.

If, as Poch said, all the important band funds were handed over to this woman to manage, then no matter how much money there was, it would burn up in just half a month for 'unknown' reasons.

"Leaving aside the photo and handshake, why would I possibly give out their contact information?"

"It's just giving Ming's contact information; it's part of rock bands' way of playing with women."

Watching Kazami Mei and Yamada Ryo bickering beside her, Wakaba Mutsumi, holding her guitar, stood there calmly and obediently, like a little girl holding a doll and waiting by her side.

Beneath her hood, her bright golden eyes, similar to Ms. Ryo's, remained calm, yet she stared intently at Yamada Ryo's profile.

Kazami Mei suddenly noticed that the crowd around them was growing larger.

To reduce the chances of Ruoye Mutsu's true identity being discovered, he decisively grabbed the two of them and ran away after selling most of the tickets.

……

To thank Wakaba Mutsumi for coming to help, Kazami Mei invited her to a nearby cafe for some dessert as a token of her gratitude.

"Mu, you can take off the hood now."

"Won't it be stuffy to wear it all the time?"

Upon hearing Kazami Mei's reminder, Wakaba Mutsu nodded slightly.

Then, in front of Yamada Ryo, she took off the cat headpiece from her head, revealing her smooth, glossy light green hair that cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, showing off her delicate and lovely face.

Perhaps because she had been confined inside the hood, Xiao Mutou's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. However, the light mist did not make her look disheveled at all; on the contrary, it made her fair and delicate face look even more rosy.

Super cute.

Because he had a very high liking for Mutsu, Kazami Mei's gaze was completely drawn to her the moment she took off her hood.

Seeing Xiao Mutou's fair face flushed slightly from the heat, even if she made some unreasonable demands, Feng Jianming felt that he probably wouldn't be able to refuse her!

"..."

A strange glint flashed in Yamada Ryo's calm, still golden eyes as he kept observing Wakaba Mutsu in front of him.

This was also the first time the other party met Ms. Liang after removing the hood.

Not very good at dealing with strangers, Wakaba Mutsu simply nodded her little head at the other person, then turned her gaze to Kazami Mei beside her, and gently tugged at Mei's sleeve in front of Ryo-san.

Little Wood's adorable action immediately made him understand what it meant.

Would you like some mango juice?

"Hmm...and cucumber cream cake too." Wakaba Mutsu's voice was slow and weak.

Perhaps it is precisely because of her gentle and weak nature that she attracts more pity from others. At the same time, she can use this huge advantage to act coquettishly with Feng Jianming, and even if she does something more outrageous, it will not arouse suspicion.

Yamada Ryo raised his eyes with great interest, staring intently at Wakaba Mutsu's every move.

Although Miss Liang remained as indifferent as before on the surface, her right hand, covered by a white silk sleeve, had been quietly placed under the table, gently pinching the hem of her skirt without anyone noticing.

Miss Liang is similar to Little Wooden Head, but they are also completely different.

Although both of them are the type with a rather cold personality and little change in expression, Yamada Ryo is just a cold and aloof person with full confidence, while Wakaba Mutsu is a weak and indifferent 'doll' girl whose emotions are not visible from the outside.

The two are very different, yet they share one thing in common.

That is, when facing someone they like, they will show a completely different side.

The sudden appearance of Wakaba Mutsu was probably the first truly 'threatening' person that Yamada Ryo had ever encountered.

She, the 'Lady Tsukimori' who would rush over the moment Kazami Mei called, was far more dangerous than Kita and Chihaya Aine in their normal state, earning her the highest danger rating of 'S'!

Miss Liang rested her chin on one hand and suddenly said, "Ming, I want to eat a mousse cake."

Kazami Naru: ?

Suddenly sensing that something was amiss, Kazami Mei immediately turned to look at the expressionless Ryo-san. Although her tone carried a hint of coquettishness, her calm, beautiful eyes were now radiating a faint chill.

If I were to reject her at this moment, I would have a bad feeling.

Could it be that Ms. Liang, as his ex-wife, is jealous because she sees him being so close to other women?

"You two worked hard helping sell tickets today, so please order whatever you'd like to eat!"

Kazami Mei didn't dare look at her increasingly depleted wallet, and could only generously wave her hand and speak up.

Thanks to Boqi and Xiao Bideng, his simulation attempts have increased significantly. Once his 'wife savings account' is depleted, he will consider going through Teacher Da Xiang's route again, and perhaps he will have another chance to get relief funds from Xiao Xiang.

Great Xiangzi, Amen.

"Ming, thank you."

"Mingzhen is a good person."

Although neither of the two girls showed any emotional change, they both thanked him at the same time.

To be honest, spending money lavishly can be quite enjoyable.

This time, Kazami ordered a lot of desserts and drinks because both Ryō and Komugi were very slender, so even if she ate a lot of desserts, it certainly wouldn't affect her figure.

The nutrients in their bodies all went to where they were meant to go.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Miss Ryo, who was sitting on his left, and Little Wooden Head, who was sitting on his right, seemed to have moved a little closer to him without him noticing.

What are you doing?

Chapter Sixteen: Wakaba Mutsumi is such a blockhead.

Kazami Mei sensed that something was off.

When he called Xiao Mu over, he didn't really have any other thoughts. One was that he really needed to ask her to bring the sound equipment, and the other was that he wanted to help Xiao Mu make more friends. Although Miss Liang had a terrible personality, she was still a pretty good friend.

To prevent Xiao Mutou from spending all his time with Nagasaki Motoyo, and then having to go to Xiangzi to complain only to be met with her coldness and pressure.

The little wooden thing, constantly caught in a pincer movement, could only secretly drop its little pearls in front of itself.

"..."

Kazami Mei stared at Wakaba Mutsu, who seemed motionless on his left but was actually moving closer to him without his notice, and Ryo-san, who was openly approaching him on his right under the pretense of chatting.

The distance between the two sides has changed considerably compared to the beginning.

As expected, after Wakaba Mutsu met Yamada Ryo, the atmosphere seemed to begin to subtly change.

As usual, Wakaba Mutsu was not much different from usual, still expressing her thoughts to Kazami Mei with that cute look. However, Miss Ryo seemed to care about Wakaba Mutsu, and kept watching her every move.

The atmosphere eased a little after the desserts were served. Xiao Mu, who loved mango juice, didn't stand on ceremony with Ming this time. She held the mango juice in her hands and sipped it slowly. Meanwhile, Miss Liang shoveled the caramel pudding into her mouth.

"This week, Ryo and I are in the End Band, which is going to have a live performance. I've also saved a ticket for you, Mumu." Kazami said, taking a brand-new ticket out of her pocket and handing it to the little wooden boy in front of her.

Actually, he really wanted to invite Teacher Da Xiang to come and watch the performance, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Teacher Da Xiang really didn't have any money.

Even if Kazami Mei wanted to give him a ticket directly, given Toyokawa Shoko's stubborn personality, she certainly wouldn't accept it readily. Instead, she would furrow her brows, put on a serious expression, and insist on paying him for the ticket no matter what.

"Thank you."

If you don't have so many thoughts, you will cherish anything that Kazami Mei gives you.

However, upon closer reflection, she realized that she had been receiving care from Kazami Mei all along, but apart from giving him a cucumber keychain, she hadn't done anything substantial in return, which made Wakaba Mutsu feel slightly frustrated.
