Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 299 Unpredictable and Terrifying

Two days later, although it seemed a little late, Tomatsu Tomohana finally realized her wish.

The school bell rang, and the girl looked at the boy next to her. The noise outside the window seemed to be urging her to move.

"Matsueda-kun, let's go~"

Today was the day she had arranged to watch the band practice, but Tomatsu Yuka went to Yamami Maki's place to subtly inquire, only to find out that her senior was unavailable today.

The girl glanced at the empty table piled with books and papers on the other side. Mochizuki wasn't here today either; she was incredibly lucky. Although she might encounter other people in the practice room, all her obstacles had vanished.

Tomatsu Yuka hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to include her senior in the group of obstacles, but since her senior was the owner of the studio, Matsueda would definitely have a chat with her.
The girl always cherished every opportunity she worked hard for, and if possible, she hoped to spend as much time with Matsueda as possible.

"Wait a minute." Jun Matsue put the bag of drumsticks into his schoolbag, tidied up the things on Haruka Mochizuki's seat, and stuffed the homework assignments due tomorrow into his schoolbag.

Mochizuki Haruka went back to her ancestral home with her aunt to pay respects to their ancestors. The Mochizuki family had finally weathered a difficult time, and her aunt felt it was necessary to go back and comfort their ancestors. A couple of days ago, when the girl was discussing this topic with Matsueda Jun, she hinted that she hoped he would come along.

Matsue Jun, of course, pretended not to notice and refused her. Although he could go to the hospital with Mochizuki Haruka to pick up his aunt, once he accepted the offer to go back to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors, his identity would no longer be that of an ordinary outsider.

As Mochizuki Haruka's friend and the class representative of Class 2-6, all he could do was deliver today's homework to the girl through the maid.

Picking up my schoolbag, I walked out of the school building with Tomatsu Yuka. The mid-June sun was dazzling, but fortunately the temperature wasn't too high, and the students on the way were still in the mood to chat as they walked.

"Shall we ride there?" Jun Matsue asked the girl beside him. "If I give you a ride, we might get stopped by the traffic police on the way."

“It’s okay, I can just ride my bike there.” Tomatsu Yuka had been planning this for a long time. “I also rode my bike here today.”

After handing over Mochizuki Haruka's homework from the bag to the maid waiting at the school gate, the two bicycles headed towards the station.

Jun Matsue glanced at the girl riding a bicycle out of the corner of his eye. Although he had seen her riding a bicycle before, he still felt a little strange seeing her riding a bicycle several times.

The quiet and innocent girl didn't perform as poorly as she did during the physical fitness test when riding her bike. Her growing black hair flowed in the wind, and the swaying of her school uniform skirt was just right. If she changed into a longer white dress, it would be the perfect after-school photo album.

The journey was short, only a few words exchanged. They didn't talk much on the way, as they needed to be careful.

The two parked their bicycles in front of Kugayama Station. Although there were plenty of empty spaces, Tomatsu Yuka still parked her bicycle next to Matsueda Jun. They entered the station, and just then, a train on the Inokashira Line arrived. The girl hurriedly ran into the carriage, found two empty seats, and waved to the boy.

"Matsueda-kun, over here~"

As long as Jun Matsueda is around, Yuka Tomatsu will never cause him any trouble, whether it was going out to eat, working part-time at the library, or now when the two of them go out together. The girl has always been like this.

The train started moving as the voices were heard. "Will everyone start rehearsing as soon as we get to the practice room?"

"It's hard to say." Jun Matsue took out his phone and looked at it.

"Xiaoxing and Caijiang both have to work today, and Quan has to go to school. They shouldn't be here until the evening, so I need to practice by myself for a while first."

For Tomatsu Yuka, there couldn't be better news. The girl gently clenched her fist; it would have been inappropriate for her to laugh at this moment.

"I heard from a senior student that her family's studio is near the University of Minnesota train station?"

Jun Matsue nodded. "It's about 800 meters away."

“That’s pretty close to my house,” the girl said with delight. “My house is over by the Zenpukuji River. It’s just a short walk from Hamadayama Station.” The boy looked up at the route map on the train door and realized that it was only two stops away from Meidaimae.

Is the senior student helping Tomatsu get ahead again?

The Keio Inokashira Line is an above-ground railway. It was summer, and the road was lush with vegetation. After leaving the station, the dazzling sunlight shone into the carriage. The girl squinted, her eyelashes fluttering, and leaned closer to the shadow of Jun Matsueda.

The journey between the two stops only took a few minutes. Soon, the announcement inside the carriage mentioned Hamadayama's name. The girl, who had been hiding in the shadows, sat up straight and waved her hand in front of the boy.

"Matsueda-kun, the Zenpukuji River is right behind you~"

He turned to look out the window but didn't see the river. The girl chuckled softly and pointed behind the building.

“It’s right there. There are several kindergartens and elementary schools along the way. If you’re riding your bike here, Matsue-kun, you’d better be careful.”

Tomatsu Tomoka spoke gently as she introduced the streets she walked every day to her beloved.

"After crossing a few intersections with little traffic, you can find a small stall on the left side of the road. Their taiyaki is delicious. If you're not hungry, Matsue, you can buy one and try it."

"After walking for about ten minutes, past a building with its exterior painted a light green, my apartment is right across from it. Behind the apartment is the Zenfukuji River green space. If we take a walk together, in spring we can see the cherry blossoms in full bloom along the river, which I think is even more beautiful than Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. The summer night breeze is also very pleasant to feel on my face."

The girl spoke softly, and the glaring sunlight turned into a cool breeze, carrying cherry blossoms that fell and covered the entire railway track, seeping into Jun Matsuoka's memory bit by bit.

"Next stop, Mingdae-mae. Please exit from the left door."

Tomatsu Yuka stood up and looked at Matsueda Jun. "Anyway, please remember, Matsueda-kun, if you want to see Tomatsu Yuka, please get off at Hamadayama Station~"

This girl is still too dangerous. Jun Matsue stepped off the train and looked at the girl's back. Her skill in saying sweet words had reached a state of perfection, making her impossible to guard against and extremely terrifying.

After taking the elevator to the fourth floor of "Denny's Studio," the boy used the key from the front desk to open the door to the practice room. He fumbled on the wall for a bit and then turned on the light.

"So this is the environment of the off-campus practice room." Tomatsu Yuka looked around him curiously. "Is that Matsueda-kun's drum?"

"To be precise, it's a drum set that I borrowed from Senior Yamami." The boy walked towards the drum set, with the girl following behind him.

Jun Matsue sat down and took out drumsticks from his bag. Yuka Tomatsu moved a chair over and sat down next to him, looking expectant.

Next up was Songzhi's solo performance, a precious moment for just the two of them, the girl thought to herself.

"Wait a minute." The boy put down his drumsticks and looked at the drum set in front of him. "A cymbal is missing. I'll go ask at the front desk."

"I'll go with Songzhi."

"You can wait for me in the practice room." Jun Matsueda shook his head. "It won't take long. Could you please keep an eye on the room and make sure no one sneaks in?"

After closing the door behind him, Jun Matsue pressed the button in front of the elevator and waited.

He was puzzled to find that a cymbal was missing. Who else could have entered the room? Could it have been a staff member?
Someone gently patted his shoulder. Jun Matsueda turned around and saw a girl in a third-year student uniform with a mischievous smile in front of her.

"What are you looking for, Matsueda-san?" Yami Maki asked with a smile.
