Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 225 A Night in Xidiwa: An Encounter with an Artistic Girl

"By the way, is Mochizuki coming back soon?"

At the dinner table, Kurusu Yoshi suddenly looked at Matsueda Jun and said this.

"Is this guy's intuition a little too sharp?" Jun Matsue swallowed the ramen in his mouth before speaking.

"It seems so."

His conversation with Mochizuki Haruka still lingered on the phone call before school started.

Jun Matsueda originally thought that the girl would come back before school started, but more than half of the first week of school had passed, and he still hadn't found Mochizuki Haruka in the classroom.

On the seating chart of Class 6, Grade 2, Mochizuki Haruka's seat was to his left, and it was still empty until the end of school today.

"How do you know? Did she send you a message?" asked Jun Matsueda.

He picked up the spoon and took a sip of the noodle soup. The soy sauce base tasted neither salty nor bland, just right. Lai Qi Yangshi had grasped it very well.

"Just look at her cat." Kurusu Yoshi's eyes shifted away from the TV and looked at the cat running around the house.

"This guy has been much more lively lately. He must have sensed that his master is coming back soon!"

"This is too metaphysical."

Jun Matsueda ate the last mouthful of ramen with the last piece of dried bonito, leaving only the clear soup base with chopped green onions floating in it.

"You don't understand!" Lai Qi Yang Shi put down the bowl, and the girl drank the soup in one breath. She seemed very satisfied with her cooking skills tonight.

"Cats and their owners have telepathy, so of course it knows where Wangyue is."

Her tone was as serious and earnest as if she were declaring in the sixteenth century that the sun was the center of the universe.

"So when it hides, you can't find it even if you turn the whole house upside down. When it wants to find you, it will appear next to you no matter where you are."

It sounded like it made sense. Matsueda Jun drank the last mouthful of noodle soup. For the sake of a delicious dinner, he believed it for one night.

"By the way, is Songzhi free recently?"

"I'm not free tonight." He put the dishes into the kitchen and turned on the faucet. The transparent water drew an arc and swirled in the bowl of noodles. The swirling water swept up the oil stains, flashing colorful colors.

"Not tonight, my album is released this Saturday." The girl followed him into the kitchen. "Want to come with me to see the release event?"

"Are those the songs you sang on the music stage before?" he turned around and asked.

During the spring break, Laisu Yoshiyou participated in a music program to promote his album. Of course, Matsueda Jun went to watch it, and he also brought Miyamura Aya along.

That night, Cai-chan found out that her brother's roommate was a real idol. The girl's expression was much more exciting than the performance on stage.

"Friday," Jun Matsue thought to himself as he washed the dishes. The biology competition was approaching, and he was quite busy.

"You should be free after school on Friday."

He thought about it and thought that going to the record store in Tokyo with his roommate after school was also part of his rosy youth, right?
"Then it's settled." Lai Qi Yang Shi nodded. She quickly remembered something and became alert.

"Why isn't Songzhi free tonight? Isn't that guy Mochizuki coming back tonight?"

"It's just something in the club." The househusband who washed dishes shook his head. Mochizuki Haruka still sent him scenery every day, but it was possible that the girl sent him the previous stock.

"I don't know when she'll be back."

It seems that Jun Matsueda is neither Haruka Mochizuki's cat nor her owner.

"That's good." Kurusu Yoshi returned to the living room to play with the cat. "Come back early tonight."

"If you come back late, I'll bring you a midnight snack."

"Then come back later!" The girl watched as Matsueda Jun walked out of the kitchen, went back to his bedroom to change his clothes, and finally changed his shoes in the entryway before leaving.

"I am leaving."

"Bye~"

If Kurusu Yoshi knew that the girl that Matsueda Jun was going to meet was a girl with big breasts and a cute appearance, he would definitely not take it lightly.

Winter has passed and the days in Mitaka are gradually lengthening, but when Jun Matsueda went out, the sky was already completely dark. He was waiting for the bus at the bus stop and took a look at the scenery sent by Haruka Mochizuki today.

There was a steep cliff, and behind the cliff was a small city by the sea. Several fat yellow creatures were lying on the cliff basking in the sun. Matsueda Jun was a little worried that they would fall down.

"The rabbits in South Africa are completely different from the rabbits in Tokyo. The season is wrong, and I haven't seen any wild horse migrations."

“This was taken in March and is already on its way back.”

After confirming that Jun Matsueda had read the message, the girl did not send any more messages.

Could it be that Kurusu was telling the truth, that cats and their owners had telepathy? Matsueda Jun pondered this question as he watched the bus appear at the intersection.

When he got off the bus and got on the subway, Natsumi Imokawa sent him a message.

"Is the pine branch coming soon?"

"Already on the tram."

The other party sent a penguin-like dazed expression.

Nishi-Ogikubo and Kichijoji are only one stop apart, but Kichijoji is located in Musashino City, north of Mitaka, while Nishi-Ogikubo is already in Suginami Ward.

Stepping out of Nishi-Ogikubo Station, Jun Matsue felt that the night here was not much different from that in Mitaka. The signs across the street were flashing, and the neon lights in front of him were not particularly bustling.

"Matsueda, this way!" Natsumi Imokawa, who was standing across the street, waved to him. The girl's white shirt was tucked into her long skirt, and the home sweater jacket she wore on the outside revealed the fact that she had just run away from home.

The girl sat in the dessert shop with Matsueda Jun. She stared down at the menu on the table, looking uneasy.

"You don't come to the dessert shop often, do you?"

"How did Songzhi know?" The girl looked up at him. "My mom told me that when meeting friends, it's best to choose a dessert shop or a coffee shop."

"Forget it." Matsueda Jun sighed, "Where do you usually go?"

Natsumi Imokawa stood up from her seat excitedly, "There's a video store here. I often go there on weekends!"

Walking along the streets of Nishi-Ogikubo, the facilities on the road are not as brand new as those in Shibuya and Shinjuku, and the lampshades on the streetlights have an atmosphere of ten years ago.

"Is Imokawa's home on the Suginami side?" Matsueda Jun stepped over the low green railing, and the girl carefully walked around it.

"No, my dad's old studio is here. I'll live there when I go to school. It's more convenient."

Natsumi Imokawa started talking more. "There are a lot of animation companies here, like Sunrise and the company that made Evangelion."

The two walked in the alley. The girl was wearing a little too much and her face was flushed with excitement. She looked hazy under the dim street lights, with a psychedelic beauty.

"By the way, are we discussing recruiting new members for the club tonight?" Jun Matsueda suddenly remembered the reason why the girl summoned him.

"Hmm." Natsumi Imokawa's expression turned confused again. "This is my first time being a manager, and I have absolutely no clue how to do it."

"Can't we talk about this kind of thing on the phone?" He was a little confused.

The girl began to stammer, and only after the two of them had walked out of the range of the street light did she turn her face to the darkness and speak in a low and self-deprecating voice.

"We haven't seen each other since school started."
