Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 759 Before Auntie's Arrival

At 12:20 pm, Jun Matsue walked out of the cafeteria ahead of schedule, carrying a full box of milk.

Although he had just finished eating a hot pork chop rice, the wind on the main road was still noticeably cold. The boy hunched his shoulders and walked towards the shade of a tree, clutching the plastic box.

The treetops before him stretched out in a continuous expanse, swaying with the yellow-green hues of autumn in the distance. His senior's candid confession at the dinner table seemed to still linger in his ears—

"I met some really, really good people."

"He guided Yamami Maki to become what she is now."

This is how Mochizuki Haruka commented at the dinner table—

"You've been talking about pine branches in almost every other sentence, haven't you?"

Jun Matsue smiled as he walked down the street, unsure whether it was because of Mochizuki, who was standing next to him with a tantrum, or because of the smiling senior sitting opposite him.

Carrying the milk back to the classroom, the boy helped the students on afternoon shift tidy up the bar area, and then sat back down next to his vice class monitor.

"I didn't expect Jun-kun to come back so quickly~" Tomatsu Yuka said with a smile as she watched him sit down.

"Didn't I tell you I'd be back early?" Jun Matsue reached out and smoothed out the tablecloth that had been crumpled by the guests.

"It feels a bit strange having Yuka all alone here."

"How could Wangyue let you go?" the girl asked with a smile.

"I told them in advance that I would come back to help," the boy said, pointing to the milk crates behind the bar.

"And those three young ladies should also have their own topics to talk about."

“Young lady~” Tomatsu Yuka deliberately added a bit more intonation to her tone, “You can tell from her voice that she doesn’t get along with commoners like us.”

"Is Yuka considered a commoner?" Jun Matsue glanced at her.

The girl tilted her head and winked her right eye with a grin.

"Being with Tsunkun makes me a happy ordinary citizen~"

After resting for twenty minutes in the warmly scented classroom with Tomomichi Kazuka, Mochizuki Haruka just happened to push open the classroom door as Matsueda Jun got up from his seat.

The young lady brought a bit of the cold air with her as she entered. The boy looked behind her—it was empty; no one had followed.

"Didn't your senior and Kokoro come back with you?"

Mochizuki Haruka's tense but pretty face finally relaxed. "They went downstairs and said they wanted to see Aya-chan's class."

Of course, she didn't think so—it must be that the cunning Yami Maki knew that someone was "changing shifts" to guard Matsueda Jun, and that she had no chance, so she temporarily gave up the attack!
"Should we go over and take a look?" Tomatsu Yuka peeked out from behind the boy.

"Forget it." Jun Matsueda shook his head. "Senpai isn't a real guest; she doesn't need us to stay with her all the time."

The girls then fell silent. Tomatsu Yuka got up to check the preparations for the afternoon at the bar, while Mochizuki Haruka turned to walk out of the classroom, only to be stopped by the boys.

Where is Wangyue going?

"Let's find a quiet place to sleep." The girl turned to the side, covering her mouth as she yawned.

"Don't worry about me, Songzhi. Just do your thing."

"When is Auntie coming?" Jun Matsuoka was more concerned about this.

Mochizuki Haruka turned her head and glanced at him again.

"Is Songzhi getting nervous?"

"A little." The boy nodded honestly.

"Then you can continue to be nervous for now." The girl's smile was both sweet and mischievous.

"Auntie also needs to take a nap. I'll tell you when she arrives."

The haughty young lady turned around, pushed open the classroom door and walked away. Matsueda Jun stood there for a while, then walked to the bar and ordered a cup of coffee.

A few minutes later, the shop's break ended, and the boy watched as Tomatsu Yuka opened the front door of the classroom to welcome the afternoon customers.

He put down his coffee, walked to the back of the classroom, and pushed open another door.

The cold air from the corridor rushed past his cheeks, and Jun Matsueda took a deep breath.

He feels even more nervous now than when he participated in the competition.

—Even when I face the entrance exam for the University of Tokyo in the future, I probably won't be more nervous than I am now.

After all, his aunt's attitude when she appears in the afternoon is more important to him than getting into the University of Tokyo.

"...Let's go find Sakamuro and have some fun."

After greeting Tomatsu Yuka at the other end of the classroom, Matsueda Jun stepped into the corridor alone.

Twenty minutes later, the boy and Ken Sakamuro walked out of the "casino" on the third floor together. He licked the orange chocolate ice cream in his hand.

"I told you not to go all in, you'll definitely lose money if you do."

“But going all in is so cool!” Ken Sakamuro mimicked the action of pushing chips onto the table.

"Isn't it handsome?"

Jun Matsueda glanced at him, “...You must never play gambling games that cost money in the future.”

"I originally wanted Matsueda to play, but if you don't play, I'll have to go on stage myself!"

The boy walked forward while complaining, and the two of them moved forward with the crowd in the corridor, with "tourists" from other classes joining them from time to time.

As he approached the door of the next classroom, Jun Matsueda's gaze paused—Maki Yami and Shin Kuroba were walking out of the door and heading towards him.

"Isn't this Maki-senpai?" Ken Sakamuro exclaimed in surprise. "She's back for the school festival too?"

"She came back this morning."

Hearing the knowing tone of the person next to him, he turned his head and blinked in surprise.

"You've already seen it?"

Jun Matsue nodded.

Ken Sakamuro glanced at the boy's calm expression, then looked at Maki-senpai, who was staring at him as he walked towards him from a distance.

"Should I avoid it?"

“Actually, you don’t need to.” Jun Matsue took the last bite of his ice cream and handed him the bare popsicle stick.

"But could you help me take out the trash?"

When the girls arrived, Jun Matsueda was already gone. Maki Yami stopped and looked at the figure not far away.

"Didn't Matsueda play with Yuka and the others?"

"Even couples don't stay together all the time." The boy glanced at Kuroba Shin, who was looking down and taking out her game console.

How was your shopping experience?

"I'm quite happy." The senior smiled at him. "Xin-chan is tired, and we're just about to leave."

"...They're leaving already?" Jun Matsuoka was somewhat surprised.

"We've been wandering around for quite a while now." Yami Maki grabbed the arm of the girl next to her to prevent her from sneaking off while playing games.

"After all, the original purpose was to see the brass band, see Aya-chan, and then take Kokoro-chan for a stroll—all the goals have been achieved."

Of course, she didn't say what her biggest goal was.

“That’s true.” The boy nodded. “Then I’ll see you out of the school gate.”

Once again on the campus avenue, Kuroba, engrossed in his game console, quickened his pace without looking up, leaving the two behind.

"Don't worry about me, you two can talk."

"..." Yami Maki watched her walk away, somewhat amused and exasperated. "Sorry, that's just Kokoro's personality."

Jun Matsue watched the falling leaves drift past them. "It's quite interesting."

Having finally found some space to be alone, the girl walking down the street fell silent.

She had so much to say and so many questions to ask, but the distance from the teaching building to the school gate was only a few hundred meters. Seizing the time to clear her jumbled thoughts, Yamami Maki decided to first ask herself the question she was most curious about.

"Um, have Mochizuki Haruka and Yuuka decided to coexist peacefully now?"

Jun Matsuoka paused in his steps.

"It's just a trial run to see how we get along." The boy looked somewhat helpless. "I have to see my aunt this afternoon."

“…No wonder.” The girl turned her head and looked at his eyebrows and eyes carefully. “Matsueda-kun seems a little nervous, doesn’t he?”

"is a bit."

“After all, you’re a good kid.” Yamami Maki smiled. “After doing something like this, you’ll definitely feel guilty in front of Miss Hua.”

"But we still have to persevere." She suddenly reached out and gently punched the boy's arm.

"Even Mochizuki Haruka herself has given in, so what's the use of her aunt's opposition?"

Jun Matsue nodded slightly—they had reached the school gate and could see Kokoro Kuroha leaning against the wall.

"Good luck, Jun-kun~" Yamami Maki turned around.

The girl waved her hand, her woolen pleated skirt swaying playfully.

"I will come back in a few days to give a lecture on college entrance exam preparation to second-year students at the school's invitation."

"Hopefully, we'll hear good news from Tsunku then~"

The boy smiled naturally, "See you next time."

Yamami Maki's smiling eyes curved into a beautiful arc, like the edges of golden ginkgo leaves.

This is a line she would say every time she said goodbye to Tsun-kun.

"See you next time~"

Watching the petite girl with the hoodie on her arm walk away with her senior, Jun Matsue waited at the school gate for a while before turning around and walking towards the teaching building.

Thanks to Tosaka and his senior, he was indeed in a much better mood, so when his phone vibrated in his pocket, he didn't hesitate to take it out.

"Is Songzhi free right now? I need to talk to you about something."

Unfortunately, it wasn't news from Mochizuki or her aunt. Songzhi blinked regretfully.

His mindset is now similar to that of a regular exam—he hopes to finish the exam in one go so he can relax sooner.

Clicking on the penguin avatar with a camera icon, the boy avoided the crowd leaving campus and replied to the message with his head down.

"Imokawa, is there something you need?"

"Yes, something's up!" Natsumi Imokawa replied quickly. "Can Matsueda come over now?"

Matsueda Jun thought for a moment, and realized that what Imokawa was going to say was probably what Kurusu had told her before.

"Where are you?"

The girl sent a voice message, sounding both nervous and excited.

"It's the same locker room as before!"

"Then I'll go over now."

Putting down his phone, the boy walked a little faster, quickly returning to the teaching building and stopping in front of the temporary changing room on the third floor.

He took out his phone and said, "I'm at the door of your locker room."

There was no response, but Jun Matsue soon heard movement behind the door—there seemed to be no one in the changing room, and the girl's footsteps were quite clear.

The wooden door was slowly pulled open, revealing a crack, and the boy standing in front of the door saw a pair of eyes like those of a small animal.

"Pine branches?" Natsumi Imokawa asked cautiously from behind the door.

"It's me." Jun Matsueda waved. "Didn't Imagawa have something to say?"

"Uh, wait a minute—"

The girl hurriedly closed the door again, and her footsteps faded into the distance.

Jun Matsueda touched his cheek and decided to wait patiently.

"Okay, okay."

Natsumi Imokawa quickly opened the door and appeared before him with small, hesitant steps.

"..." The boy's eyes widened in surprise.

The girl who stepped out of the changing room wasn't wearing her usual uniform, but a sweet and adorable "Little Red Riding Hood" outfit—

A wine-red cloak was draped over Natsumi Imokawa's body, tied around her neck with a beautiful white cloth ribbon.

She wasn't wearing a hood, revealing her meticulously styled, fluffy, shoulder-length hair, with a ribbon wrapped around one side and a sunflower hair clip that Matsueda Jun had once seen on the other.

"Didn't Songzhi say he liked Little Red Riding Hood? What do you think?"

The girl awkwardly reached up to tidy her hair behind her ear—her nails were painted with red nail polish in the shape of apples, making them look exceptionally delicate.

“You…” Jun Matsueda’s gaze followed her raised arm downwards.

Underneath the large cloak was a white shirt and a dark brown belt. Natsumi Imokawa's shirt bulged high at the chest—it seemed to be the wrong size, and she had to unbutton the top two buttons to reveal a full, white half-breast.

The buttons are flanked by wide lace trims, resembling the lace of a cake, adorning the girl's delicate and voluptuous figure, as tempting as cream.

The tight corset further accentuated the girl's curves—her waist wasn't particularly thin, but compared to her impressive bust, it still created a striking contrast.

This contrasting figure is enough to easily arouse desire, and that's why Natsumi Imokawa can wear this sharp suit that imitates hunter's attire with such sex appeal.

Fortunately, the girl's lower body was covered by a layered red and white skirt. The gorgeous and intricate skirt softened the sensual colors, allowing this "Little Red Riding Hood" outfit to return to its original fairytale style.

"...Is this what you meant by 'something'?"

The boy looked around and thankfully the classroom shops on the third floor were all at the other end of the corridor—Imokawa's clothes were not to be underestimated.

"Mmm!" Imokawa Natsumi nodded vigorously, her open collar trembling as she did so.

"Mom said that if you have someone you like, you should dress up nicely to show them off!"

"Our class's theme this time is fairy tale characters, and Songzhi said she likes Little Red Riding Hood, so I borrowed her clothes!"

The girl hooked one arm around her collar and gently tugged at it.

"Fortunately, apart from the shirt's chest size being a little unsuitable, I can wear the rest."

Natsumi Imokawa put on the hood of her cape and spun around—her burgundy cloak and gorgeous skirt spread out as she spun, like a bright and beautiful rose.

"How are you feeling, Songzhi?" She stopped what she was doing and opened her eyes wide with anticipation.

"..." Jun Matsue shifted his gaze from under the girl's body. "You're wearing all of these by yourself? It seems like a lot of trouble."

“Yumi helped me get dressed.” Natsumi Imokawa pointed behind the door. “I texted you as soon as I was dressed.”

As for why Yumi didn't come out, it's because she didn't want to disturb their private time outside.

The girl took a step closer to the boy. "So, does Songzhi think it looks good?"

Jun Matsue felt that if he didn't answer the question, Imokawa might keep asking.

"nice."

Natsumi Imokawa nodded in satisfaction. "Then, do you like the pine branch?"

The boy turned his face away. "I don't like it."

The girl walked around to stand in front of Jun Matsueda, stood on tiptoe, and stared into his eyes.

"Songzhi lied to me!"

She puffed out her slightly chubby cheeks.

"Don't lie again next time, okay?"
