mygo, Villain Simulator

My fingers tightened their grip on the phone again; the screen displayed a simple "OK".

It left her with mixed feelings—both soothed and yet a tiny spark of stubbornness ignited within her.

I've decided to ***Shirogane Miyuki, and then give Shinomiya Kaguya the friend card.

Chapter 424 Kaguya Shinomiya is testing the waters

Kaguya Shinomiya: No trouble at all. What kind of accompaniment would you like, Ichinose-kun? Can I do it by myself? Or do you need to call a few more people? Like Hoshino, Misumi, and Ruoha?

At the moment she uttered those words, Kaguya Shinomiya herself was unaware that her tone had completely betrayed her.

"Can I manage by myself?"

Although she was still trying to distance herself from the situation in the second half of her sentence, as if afraid of being seen through by adding "you can also call other people," the urgency she unconsciously revealed had already exposed her caution and concern.

It's like someone standing at the door, tiptoeing and peeking inside, not daring to get too close, nor willing to back away too far.

She's actually... kind of cute.

Of course, Ichinose Wakaba didn't think about these things too deeply.

In his view, Kaguya Shinomiya was merely "cooperating" on a social level—continuing her plan to "pretend to like another man to spite Miyuki Shirogane."

Ichinose Wakaba: One person is enough.

The song he planned to sing wasn't complicated.

While the original song has a full band version, there is also a version with simple guitar and piano accompaniment.

Since it was a wedding blessing song, Ichinose Wakaba naturally chose the piano.

The piano, well, it sounds romantic.

Otherwise, he could have easily asked Ruoye Mu to accompany him—but he didn't.

On the one hand, it was to avoid unnecessary ambiguity and misunderstandings; on the other hand, it was also because... Ichinose Wakaba was deliberately distancing herself from those who were too close to her.

Ever since that chaotic simulation indirectly hurt Toyokawa Shoko due to entanglements in interpersonal relationships, Ichinose Wakaba has been seriously considering how to make amends.

His first step was to “draw a clear line”.

The result...

Thinking of the results of the previous simulation, Ichinose Wakaba couldn't help but sigh.

Even if you never enter the real-world mode, the ending remains the same.

At that time, Shoko Toyokawa stood on the stage and sang a song full of confusion and helplessness.

That sound seemed to be reminding him—you have failed.

Those who fail don't know what to do next.

Therefore, he could only... continue to move forward in the way he had envisioned.

Kaguya Shinomiya: All you need is a piano? Then I can manage on my own.

Her voice carried a deliberately suppressed lightness, as if afraid that her "happiness" would overflow if she weren't careful.

Ichinose Wakaba: Yeah, one person is enough.

The moment the message was sent, Kaguya Shinomiya's hand was still suspended in mid-air.

It was just an ordinary reply, yet it made her heart skip a beat.

One person is enough.

Without realizing it, the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

Kaguya Shinomiya was even a little annoyed by the emergence of this feeling.

Clearly... this isn't some ambiguous statement, much less a confession.

But it was precisely this simple, unassuming answer that gently touched her heartstrings, causing her previously well-controlled and calm heart to ripple quietly.

"Calm down, Kaguya Shinomiya... calm down..."

She told herself this, but her heartbeat involuntarily quickened by half a beat.

If Miyuki Shirogane knew that Kaguya Shinomiya's heart was fluttering over something like this, he would definitely show a look of despair—why?!

Kaguya Shinomiya: Okay, then I'll accompany you.

She put down her phone, readjusted her breathing, and tried to calm herself down.

But when the screen lights up, my gaze still softens uncontrollably.

If you were to ask why Kaguya Shinomiya turned out this way, it's probably because Ichinose Wakaba is the only person in her life who makes her feel special.

When I first saw the information, he was just an ordinary passerby, and he was just a passerby when we met for the first time on the show.

If it weren't for Ruby Hoshino's sudden intervention and the nature of her plan...

Kaguya Shinomiya will probably never have anything to do with Wakaba Ichinose.

What made it special was the filming of a program featuring just the two of them.

Kaguya Shinomiya has a secret she's never told anyone: she wants to be a photographer and take beautiful pictures.

That day, Ichinose Wakaba told Shinomiya Kaguya what beauty was, and also showed her the sadness hidden beneath the beauty.

In addition, during the last program, the other party suddenly walked over—it would be better for Shinomiya-san to say if she likes someone.

In that instant, Kaguya Shinomiya panicked.

She grabbed the boy's wrist and dragged him to the corner of the corridor.

"what are you saying?"

The black-haired girl lowered her voice, almost urgently, unaware that she had lost her usual composure.

Ichinose Wakaba stood there in front of her, her expression so calm it was maddening.

"Shinomiya-san likes Shirogane-san, doesn't she?"

"If you like someone, it's best to say it."

"Otherwise, it would be too pitiful."

"No matter who it is."

Kaguya Shinomiya remembers very clearly that her heartbeat almost went out of control at the time.

Because in that instant—her thoughts were laid bare by someone.

It was from that day onward that her feelings for the boy became complicated.

Unlike her feelings for Miyuki Shirogane, it wasn't a secret crush hidden deep in her heart.

It was an emotion that was hard to explain and that I dared not think about in detail.

Like a gently plucked string, the tone is tender, yet it harbors unease.

As for the sudden private chat with Ichinose Wakaba and the reason for offering to help him.

The things I do intentionally "to annoy someone" are not a "step" on my schedule, nor are they because of some unknown emotion.

—She simply wanted to help him.

Seeing that the remaining six members of the production crew were chatting and automatically ignoring Ichinose Wakaba, Kaguya Shinomiya chose to help her in the face of being ostracized.

Meanwhile, Ichinose Wakaba was unaware of Shinomiya Kaguya's emotional fluctuations.

He leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the ceiling, and let out a long breath.

"As for piano accompaniment... Kaguya Shinomiya should be fine."

As a noble lady, learning these musical instruments is essential, especially the piano, as it cultivates an excellent temperament.

Moreover, this performance might not be important to Ichinose Wakaba.

He would never have gone to sing if it weren't for Ruoye Mu's deal.

Now, even when singing, Ichinose Wakaba is prepared to sing casually.

Of course, saying it's casual doesn't mean the club is just a sham—if Ruoye Mutsu finds out, she'll definitely use that as an excuse not to tell Toyokawa Shoko's little secret.

Therefore, he still wants to sing a truly "good" song.

Even if it wasn't to please anyone, nor to leave behind any dramatic stage moments.

It was simply to complete the deal with Ruoye Mu.

My phone vibrated slightly again; it was a message from Sijiulin Liyu Siliuqi Ba Er Ba Gong Huiye.

Kaguya Shinomiya: I'll practice hard and won't hold you back.

Ichinose Wakaba looked at the line of text and blinked slightly.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of being enveloped by a gentle emotion that he hadn't felt in a long time—as if someone was standing beside him.

Ichinose Wakaba didn't say much, she just typed a line.

Ichinose Wakaba: Okay, I'll leave it to you.

Looking at the photos from this post, Mikan's Moon Forest outfit is as beautiful as ever, but it's a pity I didn't see any of the more economical ones.

Teacher Big Nose is so fair-skinned.

The school uniforms at Tsukimori are really well-designed, especially the junior high school uniforms. Unlike the black mid-calf socks of the senior high school uniforms, the white canvas socks accentuate the fair thighs.

Understanding Yoshikage Kira

Chapter 425 The person I like is—

"Let me think, it should start like this—"

Ichinose Wakaba leaned against the desk, resting her chin on one hand while searching for a voice recorder with the other.

The night outside the window had completely enveloped the city, and the hands of the clock slowly pointed to eight o'clock in the evening. Even breathing carried a sense of urgency, as if the deadline was approaching.

"Go write down the lyrics and work on the melody."

Ichinose Wakaba muttered to herself.

To his shame, despite having lived in the simulation for so long and having honed his musicality to an increasingly refined level, his skill in "arranging" remained at zero.

He can transcribe music, listen to the notes, and reproduce them.

But to ask Ichinose Wakaba to create an entire accompaniment out of thin air? That's like asking a fish to climb a tree.

So... this time, he will have to rely on others just like before.

Thinking of this, the blue figure appeared in the boy's mind.

Previously, all the songs he used had their arrangements done by that person.

Now, their eyes were drawn to the account on the computer.

If, if Ichinose Wakaba were to send this new song to her now, how would she react?

Faced with this question, Ichinose Wakaba didn't know the answer.

But he didn't have the courage to do it.

Speaking of which, Ichinose Wakaba was looking through his emails when he saw an invitation: "We hope Neko-chan can attend our company's opening ceremony."

For the Twin Towers event, they also invited Erii Uesugi.

Naturally, Ichinose Wakaba refused.

"Forget it, I won't think about these things anymore."

Although we can't ask that person for help, we now have a new candidate—Kaguya Shinomiya.

As for why not look for someone else?

As mentioned before, we need to keep our distance from Toyokawa Shoko.

Getting back to the main topic...

Ichinose Wakaba's plan was simple: she would hum the melody herself first, and then hand it over to the other party to refine and arrange.

The other party performed piano on stage during the program.

Kaguya Shinomiya's piano technique is very solid; it's the kind of "standard" technique that you can tell immediately from childhood practice.
