Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"full moon."

"Hmm?" The girl turned to look at him, the end of her white scarf swaying in the wind.

"Don't turn your head. It's dangerous not to look at the road."

"Oh..." She turned her head back again.

"What did you want to say when you were riding the bike just now?" After returning to the living room of 507, Mochizuki Yao took off her scarf and asked.

"...Nothing. I was thinking maybe you could try to go back to school."

The girl's head swayed rapidly, and her twintails became straight lines in the air.

"You can't stay in 507 forever." Jun Matsueda walked into the bedroom and put the NS game console on the table aside.

This was brought by Mochizuki Haruka two nights ago. She said she was using it to kill time. However, this NS has been kept in his bedroom and the girl has never played with it.

Mochizuki Haruka had just shown signs of recovery; was it too early to start distancing ourselves from her? He pulled the competition materials from his bag and spread them out on the table.

After thirty minutes of study, Jun Matsueda's right hand reached for the place on the table where the water cup usually was placed.

Ok?

The cup of water was not there, but the girl had already brought it to Jun Matsueda.

"Thank you. I'm feeling thirsty." Jun Matsueda took the cup of water, took a sip, and put it back to its old place.

Mochizuki Haruka lay on the bed behind him, looking at the water cup in the corner of the desk, and nodded with satisfaction.

Starting five days ago, whenever Jun Matsueda was at home, the girl would adjust her water drinking time to match his.

After forming this habit, she would be able to know approximately when Matsueda Jun would feel thirsty.

Mochizuki Haruka took out a notebook from her pocket and began to write, "356. Songzhi drinks water more frequently while reading, probably from once every forty minutes to once every thirty minutes."

"357. Songzhi usually prefers tap water to filtered water."

She flipped the page back to the notebook. "137. I like to use filtered water when making pine twig soup."

Remember to distinguish these two points.

Since she started taking notes, it didn't take long for Mochizuki Haruka to feel that this small notebook was not enough, and maybe it was time to buy a few new ones.

The girl flipped through a few pages casually.

"144. Songzhi usually wakes up at : on school days and has breakfast at :. On weekends, he wakes up even earlier because he can work part-time when he doesn't have to go to school."

"162. Songzhi doesn't like mint-flavored toothpaste."

"177. Songzhi takes a maximum of ten minutes to shower, but a bath will take fifteen to twenty minutes longer."

"178. Pine Branch is not very sensitive to the smell of bath spray, but she doesn't like the scent of roses."

"232. Songzhi likes Mochizuki Haruka wearing black clothes the most, followed by blue."

"233. Increasing your exposure isn't very appealing to Jun Matsueda. He'll only care if you're warm enough. (I'll try this after we're dating.)"

"238. Songzhi rarely gets up at night, but he will wake up if you walk into his room."

"300. Songzhi is not very interested in NS. I will try other game consoles next time."

"316. I haven't seen any semen stains on Songzhi's underwear yet. I'll continue observing."

It’s a pity that I didn’t have the chance to record whether he masturbated or not... Mochizuki Haruka thought regretfully.

Two hours later, Matsueda Jun stood up from his desk. The girl put away her notebook and asked, "Are you tired of studying?"

Mochizuki Yao remembered that before he went to the toilet, the water cup was still on the table, and it seemed that the only option left was to rest and relax.

The boy shook his head. "Kurisu's show is taping today. She invited me to watch it live. It's almost time to leave."

"Do you want to go with me?" Jun Matsueda took out a baseball jacket from the closet and put it on.

"No." The girl walked him to the entrance. "Aren't you coming back for dinner?"

Matsueda Jun nodded and opened the security door. "Is it okay for you to be home alone?"

"Well, come back soon."

He walked to the street outside his apartment, sat on the bench at the bus stop, and looked out his bedroom window.

The girl was sitting on Jun Matsueda's desk, writing something and glancing at him from time to time.

Let's wait until she recovers for a while before we can keep some distance, Jun Matsueda thought.

357. When Songzhi is in a good mood, he walks faster. It takes him one minute and twenty seconds less to walk from his door to the street downstairs.

Hokkaido's cows are already on their way.

Chapter 162: The Time of Shining

As you walk out of Akasaka Station, you can see the magnificent building of TBS TV station.

"Is Kurusu going to perform at a place like this tonight..."

At this moment, looking up at the glass exterior of the high-rise building reflecting the surrounding buildings like crystal, Jun Matsueda finally felt the reality of the girl watching TV in his living room.

"It's been so long since I saw her on stage, I almost forgot she's a natural idol."

"Are you secretly saying bad things about me?" The girl's playful voice came from behind him.

Jun Matsueda turned around and saw that Kurusu Yoshi was still dressed as usual. She was wearing a pink baseball jacket, a plaid skirt and white puff socks. The stacked socks had the lazy and cute look unique to girls.

"You're going to be on TV, don't you need to wear sunglasses and a hat or something?" The girl waved to him on the side of the road, and Matsueda Jun could only step onto the zebra crossing he had just crossed and walk to her side.

"Let's talk about it after we debut." Kurusu Yoshi waved his hand. "Right now, I'm just a former underground idol. Not many people know me."

"Shall we go in now?" Matsueda Jun pointed to the building behind him. "Is the agent already inside?"

"She's still in the car." Kurusu waved to a silver car parked on the side of the road. "It's not time yet, let's find a cafe first~"

The two sat on the second floor opposite the TBS TV station. The girl sipped her hot coffee and observed the huge monster across the street through the smoke rising from the brown liquid.

"You get nervous sometimes too."

Hearing what Matsueda Jun said, the coffee cup in the girl's hand trembled. Kurusu Yoshi put the cup down and said in a proud and arrogant manner, "How can I be nervous?"

"You're such an energetic person. Normally, you'd definitely take me on a stroll around the neighborhood, but now you're sitting so quietly in a cafe waiting for the show to start."

"If I wasn't sitting right in front of you, I definitely wouldn't believe it." Jun'ya Matsueda picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Kurusu Yoshi let out a long sigh and stopped looking at the bright and beautiful buildings outside the window.

"Although I have always believed that I can become the best idol, but when this day comes, I still feel a little..."

"how to say?"

"Not ready?" Jun Matsueda took over her words.

The girl shook her head and pointed at the dozens-story building outside the window. "That's TBS, the Tokyo Broadcasting System, right? Even if you don't watch much TV, you know that, right?"

Matsueda Jun nodded. "It's one of the five major private TV stations. They're the ones that broadcast 'Hagane Naoki'."

"That's right! Utada Hikaru has even been on their show!"

Jun Matsueda nodded again. He had heard the theme song sung by Utada Hikaru for "EVA", the Mona Lisa of the Louvre and so on.

It was almost time, so the two walked out of the cafe, crossed the street, and walked to the door of the TBS building.

"I'm about to walk into the TBS building."

"It's no longer just a small underground idol, but a real idol debut."

"Let me correct you. I wasn't nervous just now. I was trembling with excitement."

Kurusu Yoshi turned around and looked at Matsueda Jun. The girl was standing at the door where people were coming and going, and she became the center of the crowd without any movement.

"Matsuzhi, bear witness."

"The road to shining Tokyo begins today!"

Jun Matsueda stood in the brightly lit venue, stroking the sign hanging on his chest.

"Agent's assistant", that's how he got in.

"The next one to appear is Yang Shi." The agent said beside him.

The previous contestant's performance has just ended and the audience is still cheering. Now it is time for the guests to comment.

The two stood in the darkness at the edge of the venue. This was not the audience seats and they would not be captured by the camera.

"Kurisu told me before she came in that her goal was to get first place." Jun Matsueda looked at the guests in the front row of the hall. They were all familiar faces who often appeared on TV.

"Is her goal to be number one?" the woman asked in surprise. "The competition on this show is fierce. The artists participating are all newcomers that are being promoted or favored by various agencies, and there are also quite a few professional singers."

"After comprehensive consideration of the guest scores and the live audience scores, the top-ranked contestants will receive resources and support from the various organizing companies based on their rankings. This can be said to be the most brutal debut stage in recent years."

All the spotlights dimmed again and the audience cheered, ready for the next contestant to take the stage.

"I told her before not to expect first place..." The agent was about to say something but stopped herself when the stage curtain closed.

The sound of breathing rose and fell in the darkness, and every audience member who came here was waiting for the real rising star to appear.

The night was already halfway over, and they had already witnessed more than a dozen artists take the stage. Of course, there were people who could make them cheer, but their intuition whispered something.

The stars have not yet appeared tonight.

The curtain rose and people could already see the accompanying band.

The drumsticks raised high fell down, and the heavy drum sound and the rapid guitar sound rang out together.

Some people began to sway their bodies to the beat of the drums, waiting for the main character to appear.

As the drumbeats changed, people finally heard the long-awaited sound.

"The cause and effect were planted there~"

"That flower is the reason why it is so gorgeous~"

The girl's voice was melodious and had an impressive penetrating power, sending a thrilling feeling from the guests in the front row to the audience in the back row.

Her voice trembled slightly, but it did not make people feel weak. It was like the arrival of dawn, making people feel anticipation and longing.

"One day it will wither~"

"It will become a cycle of cause and effect~"

Kurusu Yoshi entered from the edge of the stage. It was supposed to be a brilliant moment, but the girl sang a song about the cycle of fate.

"Why am I always tormented by what I see~"

"Running across the plains with just these two feet~"

"Galloping, that's all~"

Only then did people look towards the stage floor. The girl's bare feet were walking in the darkness beyond the reach of the spotlight, and each step, following the beat of the drums, touched their hearts.

"Are you ready for tomorrow's journey?"

"I know life is short, so I hesitate to move forward~"

"But fate keeps calling and beckoning me~"

Lai Qi Yangshi's voice gradually became higher and higher, and some people raised their heads unconsciously and looked at the light reflected in her eyes.

"Since it's like this, let's just enjoy life——"

The girl raised her voice, raised her right hand high, and pointed at the darkness above everyone.

The lights were turned on, and the venue was as bright as day. Amid the unrestrained cheers from the audience, Lai Qi Yang Shi walked to the center of the stage.

“No matter how many times, I will always answer like this - the world will always be as dreamy as it was at the beginning.”

"Because you never know how to give up—"

The girl's trembling last tone was like a flame bomb, swaying and blooming above the crowd.

"Now this moment is in your hands~"

Kurusu Yoshi looked up at the light in front of her, and in a trance, she remembered looking up at the TBS building before entering.

The lights on the stage dimmed again. The girl held the microphone tightly with both hands, closed her eyes, and shouted:

"Follow your true self—"

"Shine brightly!!!"

Although it was dark before his eyes, Jun Matsueda could clearly feel an explosive light spreading from the stage.
