How can my simulation be a real love?

“I am not the same as them.”

“CRYCHIC is like a child’s play band, and I can’t stay with them forever.”

Shoko Toyokawa's calm yet indifferent words gradually allowed Mei Kazami to understand her feelings and thoughts.

The innocent, gentle, and cheerful "genius" young lady Toyokawa Shoko from the 'CRYCHIC' era is indeed unforgettable, but this current teacher, who is struggling to live and has a stubborn yet fragile personality, also possesses a unique charm.

"Even if we ultimately choose not to continue in the band with them, we can still remain friends, right?"

"Deng has been very worried about you, and she has been feeling very guilty about what happened to you."

Kazami Mei gently stirred her coffee and spoke in a calm and gentle tone.

"Making peace with your past self might make things much easier."

Seemingly recalling what Takamatsu Akari had said earlier, Toyokawa Shoko slowly frowned, her bright amber eyes fixed on the coffee in Kazami Mei's hand with a complicated expression.

"Alright, drink this and get ready to go back to work."

That's all I have to say.

Saying more won't make much difference.

Kazami Mei gently placed the Blue Mountain coffee she had already brewed in front of Toyokawa Shoko. Wisps of white steam rose from the pitch-black coffee, carrying a subtle, sweet, and mellow aroma that made Toyokawa Shoko slightly squint her beautiful eyes.

She watched as Kazami Naruto, who had already dressed and was walking towards the lobby, picked up her coffee with her slender, fair fingers.

Take a small sip.

The smooth and delicate texture, combined with the unique aroma, instantly bursts in your mouth. This is the only taste that combines "sour" and "bitter" yet brings you enjoyment and happiness. Once you've tasted it, you'll never forget it.

"As expected, his is still the best..."

Toyokawa Shoko stared at the still-steaming coffee in her hand, a beautiful smile involuntarily curving her lips.

"Toyokawa, are you going on a date with Kazami-senpai after get off work later?"

"why?"

A waitress in the lobby approached with a smile, and her words instantly made Toyokawa Shoko panic.

"Hey? You two are a couple, right?"

Faced with this sudden question, Toyokawa Shoko's face turned bright red. She pursed her lips, unsure of what to do, and didn't even think of how to explain or refute it.

Kazami Mei, who had already left the backstage area, saw the sweet smile on Daisho-sensei's face and felt a surge of emotions welling up in her heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he casually took out the 'Death Note' he had kept in the drawer.

A black ballpoint pen twirled and danced in his slender fingers, opening a blank page covered with horizontal stripes and casually sketching one perfect arc and line after another.

The fluid and precise movements, along with the technique of lowering the pen tip and applying pressure, are used as if etched into the muscles, and in the blink of an eye, various simple lines combine to form a delicate and exquisite face.

"It's done."

Although it was the first time I used my Lv5 legendary art drawing skill, the sketch I drew casually was surprisingly good. As a first time using it, it was passable.

"I'll just give it to her as a gift later."

……

Perhaps because her feelings of frustration and exhaustion had been relieved, Toyokawa Shoko focused intently on completing all her work, and her work efficiency was even higher than usual.

As Xiangzi finished get off work, he slung his small bag over his shoulder and subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction of Feng Jianming.

"Toyokawa, this is for you."

Having changed out of his work clothes, Kazami Mei casually handed the 'Death Note' to Shoko. Upon seeing it, she blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion, and then, at his prompting, slowly opened it.

"...!"

The girl froze on the spot.

The notebook depicts the author holding a coffee cup with a gentle smile. Every detail is outlined with a simple ballpoint pen, creating perfect curves. The meticulous drawing immediately conveys the author's seriousness.

This painting is absolutely amazing! It's like a professional-level artwork.

"When? You can draw again?"

"I thought it was beautiful when I saw it before, so I drew it. I've only been learning for a short time."

Kazami Mei noticed the astonishment on Toyokawa Shoko's face and immediately showed a satisfied expression.

He just wanted to see Teacher Da Xiang's expression!

"...Don't do that again next time."

Shoko Toyokawa spoke somewhat stiffly, then very naturally put the 'Death Note' into her bag, still looking as indifferent as ever.

The premise is that one can ignore the alluring pink hue on the tip of the ear.

"Want to go together today?"

Shoko Toyokawa, who naturally walked alongside Naruto Kazami, seemed to have completely forgotten about the teasing she had received before, and going to buy bento boxes with him had become a regular part of her daily routine.

Kazami Mei, of course, couldn't refuse; this was a perfect opportunity to save money on food.

Shoko Toyokawa carried her shoulder bag and walked beside Naruto Kazami, occasionally exchanging a few sarcastic remarks with him. She didn't even notice that a slight smile had unconsciously crept onto her face.

All her attention seemed to be focused on him beside her.

However, she also failed to notice that a blonde girl wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses walked past from a distance, and the girl seemed to have noticed the two of them.

“… Xiangzi?”

Sankaku Hatsuka slightly opened her mouth, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Isn't this a bit too reckless? [5k]

Misaka Hatsuka never expected that she would run into her former friend Toyokawa Shoko here. Although it had been a long time since they last met, she recognized her at a glance.

Despite the chance encounter with Xiangzi, Mitsuka Hatsuka had no intention of going up to greet her.

Because at this moment, Xiangzi is not alone.

"That boy, I remember seeing him at the evening primrose garden last time..."

Sanjiao Chuhua frowned slightly, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.

With his black hair and black eyes, Kazami Mei's appearance is very distinctive. In particular, his face is so outstanding that talent scouts come up to him and ask for his contact information. Such a deep impression makes him unforgettable to anyone who has seen him.

Triangle Flower is no exception.

"Does he know Xiangzi too?"

A sense of doubt gradually welled up in his heart. Mikazuki had spoken a few words to him at the 'Evening Primrose' astrology center before, and the person who was with him that time was clearly a girl named 'Takamatsu Akari'.

That girl was a member of CRYCHIC, a band Xiangzi used to be in.

Seeing how close Takamatsu Akari and Kazami Mei were, Mikami Hatsuka once thought the two were a couple.

Even though Kazami Mei later denied it, she always thought that it was only a matter of time before the two of them became a couple. But she never expected to see Shoko with him this time.

"What exactly is going on……"

Wearing a baseball cap, Chuka felt something was amiss and even harbored some suspicions.

Because her gaze was completely focused on Toyokawa Shoko, Mitsumi Hatsuka, who was so engrossed in her work, did not realize that an acquaintance was walking right past her.

"Ok?"

Novel Group 5①㈧○9九

As Hachiman Kairin, carrying her instrument case, happened to brush past Misumi Hatsuka, who had just finished her work as a 'mercenary' and happened to be passing by, she stopped the moment she saw him.

A hint of doubt appeared on Hachiman Kairin's cool and aloof face, which had a touch of heroism. She only moved a little closer before she immediately recognized the blonde girl wearing a baseball cap as her classmate, Misumi Hatsuka.

Out of politeness, Hachiman Kairin spoke softly—

"Triangle-san."

After waiting for a while, there was still no response from the other party.

Ok?

This puzzled Hachiman Kairin, so she quickened her pace slightly.

Only when she felt she had completely reached Misumi Hatsuka's side did she reach out and gently pat her shoulder, then asked again in a questioning tone, "Misumi-kun?"

"Eh? Hachiman-kun..."

This time, Mikasa, whose attention had finally been drawn back, clearly realized what was happening.

When she saw that Hachiman Kairin had moved closer to her, she immediately understood what was going on. So she gently frowned and apologized to her with an apologetic look.

"Sorry, Hachiman-kun, I was just spacing out."

"fine."

Yawata Kairin gently shook her head; she didn't seem to care at all.

However, she had some doubts in her heart.

Whether at school or on the big screen, Mitsumi Hatsuka, a 'perfect' member of an idol group, always maintains her idol demeanor and rarely gets distracted or daydreaming.

What attracted her?

Misaki Hatsuka seemed to be staring blankly to the other side, but Yahata Kairin noticed this and slightly shifted her gaze, immediately catching a glimpse of a black-haired figure.

Although the two figures quickly disappeared into the corner of the street, the sharp-eyed Hachiman Kairin immediately recognized them.

Hmm? It's that young keyboardist from Li Xi's new band...

The girl walking with him seems to be the keyboardist of Li Xi's previous band?

It was unexpected that the two keyboardists would inexplicably end up together, which surprised Hachiman Kairin. However, it was clear that Mika Mika had been watching the two of them.

I don't know which one she was looking at.

With some guesses in mind, Hachiman Kairin slowly spoke—

"Isn't that Kazami?"

His name is 'Kazami'?

Hatsuka, who had been somewhat absent-minded, immediately perked up upon hearing this. She hadn't specifically asked Kazami Mei's name when they met before, but she didn't expect to find out from Hachiman Kairin this time.

"Hachiman-kun, do you know him?"

Misaki Hatsuka's question, tinged with surprise, caused Hachiman Kairin to tilt her head back slightly, a hint of understanding appearing on her usually calm and composed face.

After thinking for a moment, she spoke softly, "We're not very close; we've only met once."

"Is that so? I just saw him walking with my friend, so I was a little concerned..."

friend?

It probably refers to the keyboardist of CRYCHIC.

However, Misaki Hatsuka's explanation led Hachiman Kairin to make some unexpected guesses.

She hesitated for a moment before slowly raising her left wrist. Only when she saw that there was still some space on the watch hands did she look up at Sankaku Hatsuka again.

"He's in a band with his classmate Lixi, and he's currently playing keyboards."

"Shiina-san?"

Upon hearing Shiina Tatsuki's name, a hint of surprise flashed in Misumi Hatsuka's elegant, butterfly-like violet eyes, and a strange idea began to form in her mind.

The adorable girl I met at the planetarium was probably also in a band with Kazami Akira. I thought they were definitely more than friends and very close to being a couple.

But now that she has met Toyokawa Shoko, her thoughts have changed.

Sanjiao Chuhua hadn't seen her childhood playmate for a long time. Before this, she had always taken Xiangzi's words as 'encouragement' in her work, and those few words had become the pillar that supported her heart.

But when she saw Toyokawa Shoko again, she saw a smile on him that she had never seen before.

Her gentle and soft demeanor, yet subtle and understated, with her eyes reflecting only the other person's smile, was very similar to the gentle Xiangzi in Misaka's memory, yet subtly different.

In her eyes, she was just like a girl in love.

"Thank you, Hachiman-kun."
