It was supposed to be a love simulation, so why are they also players?

"Don't stop! It's getting cold! As long as you keep going forward, the road to barbecue will keep extending, so please don't stop!!"

They chatted casually, and the two people who had just met yesterday seemed like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. They quickly became friends and started talking about common interests.

"Let's go, it's my treat today. We can't let Xia Mu spend money."

Ichi Hoshika said, her tone leaving no room for refusal.

She's the senior!

It wasn't Xia Mumu's turn to treat everyone to a meal yet.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Xingge. But you can use the membership card; save money if you can."

Today is Xia Mumu, a thrifty and hardworking woman!

"The store manager is such a good friend."

Liang praised it.

"That's really generous."

Hongxia corrected her, her gaze always unconsciously falling on Xia Mu.

From this moment on, everyone is on the starting line.

"However, I want to reach the finish line faster."

That's all.

ten minutes later.

Kita Ikuyo fell into deep thought when she saw the "Temporarily Closed" sign hanging above the starry sky.

like.

Did she come at the wrong time?

Kita, Kita?

Yudai, yudai!

Go back, alas!

"Come again next time. Someday, I'll be able to see Xia Mu. Yes, I definitely will!"

Chapter 223 Kita Ikuyo, who had not yet met him

Who is Kita Ikuyo?

Xiuhua is a first-year student at high school.

Alternate name: Miss Gui Qu Lai Xi.

Now, Kita wants to see someone.

This feeling is something I'm experiencing for the first time.

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, I want to see you.

I want to see you right now.

I look forward to our first meeting; it's sure to be a romantic story.

But having no clue what to do, he could only place his hopes on senior Hongxia and the others.

Temporarily closed

send!

She learned to be alone, without feeling lost all day.

Bored out of her mind, Kita Ikuyo, unusually, declined her classmates' invitation and went to a shop alone, ordering a cup of black tea.

A person, thinking of someone.

Behind them were several other girls who seemed to be playing in a band.

Kita Ikuyo held her gradually cooling teacup, her gaze unconsciously falling on the girls at the next table.

"Hey, Lixi, candy."

The girl with white hair and heterochromatic eyes twirled her fingertips, her voice trailing off with the languidness of a feline.

The waiter, Shiina Tatsuki, handed out mints from the counter, muttering, "These are the ones Xia Mu left here last time. Don't eat too many at once."

While speaking, she seemed to dislike the other person, but when she mentioned this name, her eyelashes cast a slight tremor on her cheekbone, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Shiina Tatsuki, are you a tsundere girl too?!

"Yes, yes, you should listen to Xia Mu."

He told me about the five vows of cats.

First, you shouldn't eat matcha parfait on an empty stomach;

Second, reply to messages promptly and don't keep your family and friends waiting too long;

Third, a guitarist must be able to play the guitar;

Fourth, pay attention to your health, get more rest and avoid staying up late, and be like Su Shi, a person who doesn't stay up late;

Fifth, even if you get lost, keep moving forward.

The cat-like girl nodded, then put the candy into her mouth with a satisfied look on her face.

"Didn't Xia Mu come to rehearsal today? I can't wait to show him my superb guitar skills!"

Suddenly, the pink-haired girl, Chihaya Aine, plucked the guitar strings, and the burst of notes startled Hakimi, who was outside the window.

Confidence shines.

"He's currently in charge of composing, he hasn't gone on stage yet."

Bassist Motoyo Nagasaki lowered his eyes to tune the strings, his fingernails making a soft sound as they scratched the metal bar.

Her phone screen was still showing her chat history with Xia Mu from this morning.

Originally, Nagasaki Motoyo wanted to go out for barbecue with Natsume, but right now rehearsals are more important. She wants to give Natsume her best performance.

Just be patient!

It's impossible for another girl to take advantage of me when I'm not around, right?

Impossible.

Nagasaki Motoyo has already inquired about it.

Xiao Xiang has something to do today, so he's definitely not available.

As for Ijichi-kun...

!

I actually forgot!

Alarm bells ringing!

No, no...

Don't worry too much, you can't rush things.

I've actually beaten Ichiji and Sho in the simulation.

It's the invincible Su Shikami!

"Oh, I see. I noticed you were staring at your phone sometimes, Su Shi. I thought it was because Xia Mu wasn't here."

"may be."

Nagasaki Motoyo's answer was vague.

Tonight, after rehearsal, I'll go to Xia Mu's house and cook for him.

For ordinary friends, this pace is indeed a bit too fast, but for Xia Mu, it's something that's easy to get used to.

What I need to do is gradually become an indispensable part of Xia Mu's life.

Your one and only.

Nagasaki Motoyo, you deserve to confess your feelings quickly.

Na.

If we could do it all over again, would you still like me?

The answer is yes.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but play her bass very fast.

"You guys are really something, all you can think about is Xia Mu..."

Shiina Riki glanced around.

One, two, three, they always bring up that guy Xia Mu.

I really don’t understand.

What's so great about that kind of person? They're just nicer, more caring, always there for you when you need them, never abandoning you, never doing things that everyone hates, and never putting on an arrogant act...

and many more.

It seems like it's implying something about other guys.

Looking at Xia Mu, who came from a mental hospital, he seems quite normal.

Shiina Riki felt like she was probably going crazy.

I need to go to a mental hospital.

"Actually... me too, I'm a little bothered by it..."

Gao Songdeng raised his hand and added a sentence.

She also wanted to see Xia Mu.

I recently collected some new penguin stickers and wanted to give them to someone.

Last time, thanks to Xia Mu's encouragement, the little penguin girl regained her courage.

"Ahem—I wasn't talking about the lights... Never mind, let's continue rehearsing! The goal is our first performance, so we need to be in top form."

Let's skip the topic of Xia Mu and focus on rehearsing properly.

Kita Ikuyo, who was standing to the side, was stunned when she heard these conversations.

Ok? !

Xia Mu?

Do these girls know Xia Mu too?

Why don't we go up and ask?

"Excuse me for interrupting you, my name is Kita Ikuyo. I'm curious about what kind of person Natsumi you just mentioned is. Maybe he's a friend I know."

Even when facing a group of five unfamiliar people, the sunny girl showed no stage fright whatsoever.

If it were some kind of pink-haired Tsuchigumo creature from Shimokitazawa, it might not even be able to speak clearly, and would just shrink into a pink ball of fur.

The five girls turned their heads at the same time, Chihaya Aine's guitar strings hummed, and Nagasaki Motoyo's bass pick suddenly became hot.

?

"Oh~ So you're Xia Mu's friend. This question will be left to the all-knowing Chihaya Aine! Hmm..."

I thought about it.

Chihaya Aine discovered a problem.

I am the person in the band who has had the least contact with Xia Mu, and I probably know less about him than Li Xi does.

After much thought, I came up with a simple summary.

"Xia Mu is a good person."

It's as if I didn't say anything at all.
