Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"Sure, we haven't experienced the super large private room yet." Mizushima Miya agreed on behalf of Class 2.

Tomatsu Tomoka was sitting in her seat playing with her cell phone.

Tsushima Kou took out his cell phone to check the message, and quickly grabbed Matsueda Jun who was about to leave.

"Could you please bring my juniors with you? It would be a waste if the vouchers are not used!" Tsushima Kou raised the vouchers in his hand and circled the three freshmen.

"Of course there's no problem with Matsueda Jun here." Hot girl Rion threw a coquettish glance at Matsueda Jun, and put her right hand behind her to block Mochizuki Haruka's little hand from pinching her.

"Matsueda, we still have to go to private school, don't waste the vouchers!" Tsushima Kou tried hard to hold Matsueda Jun.

In the dim box, colorful ball lights flickered.

Tomatsu Tomoka sat on the leather sofa and sent a message to Tsushima Kou.

"Senior, I clearly told you to just persuade Chun-jun to come here, why did you go to such lengths?"

A read but not replied mark lights up in the chat box.

"Pretending to be dead, huh..." The girl snorted in her heart, and raised her head to look at the seat by the door where Jun Matsueda was sitting.

There are three rows of seats in the box, against three walls, and on the other side is a huge screen, which is currently playing lyrics.

Group one had the most people, so they sat in the middle. Group two sat at the innermost part, and those who didn't sing much sat on the side closer to the door.

Why do people who don’t sing come in?

Talking about love, socializing, secretly watching Jun Matsueda, etc., anyway, it's very fulfilling.

"Tomoka! Please order a song for us!" The girl sitting far away waved to Tomoka Tomatsu.

"Okay~" Tomatsu Tomoka lowered her head and operated the karaoke machine.

Mochizuki Haruka looked at Tomatsu Touka who was looking down, then stood up and sat in the seat closest to the door in class one.

After scaring away the others with her eyes, the girl only had two seats left between her and Jun Matsueda.

Jun Matsueda tapped his hands on the sofa to the rhythm. He had played drums before and was quite fond of music.

Mochizuki Haruka looked at Matsueda Jun's hands on the sofa, then looked at her own hands.

so big.

"Mochizuki-san isn't going to sing?" Matsueda Jun noticed her.

"Later, there are a lot of people who want to sing right now." Wang Yueyao moved closer to him. "Did you have any luck finding a part-time job for the summer?"

Matsueda Jun shook his head. "Originally, we had already decided on two jobs, but the bookstore said they're not hiring for summer jobs. I don't have time to go for interviews before finals, so I'll look for a new one in a couple of days."

"The job I mentioned earlier." Before Mochizuki Haruka could finish her words, she was rejected by Matsueda Jun. "Sorry, Mochizuki-kun, I'm still very confident in finding a job. You don't need to worry about it."

Mochizuki Haruka's hands made wrinkles on the sofa. She didn't want to hear an apology.

The bookstore was easily handled, but her people hit a wall at the performance company. She didn't know what kind of magic potion Matsueda Jun had given them, but they refused to let Jun go no matter what. Mochizuki Haruka was secretly resentful.

"Aren't you going to sing, Mochizuki-san?" Tomatsu Tomoka said the same thing as Matsueda Jun with a smile, and sat in the empty seat between the two of them, blocking Mochizuki Haruka's sight.

Wang Yueyao looked at her as if she were a dead person.

Jun Matsueda leaned forward and looked at the two girls, afraid that they would start fighting again.

Mochizuki Haruka stood up and walked to the other side of Matsueda Jun, where Imokawa Natsumi and Yumi were sitting, "Please give up your seat."

"Eh, eh?" Natsumi Imokawa never expected that she, who was sitting at the very edge, would be asked to change seats one day. She looked at the other noisy spaces, not knowing what to do.

"Natsumi, let's go. This place is about to become a battlefield." Yumi pulled Natsumi Imokawa to the other side.

The seats by the door were completely cleared.

"Hey? Why are there only three of you sitting here?" Liyin walked over and sat next to Mochizuki Haruka. I don't know if she didn't know how to read the atmosphere, or if she understood the atmosphere and came over anyway.

"You're a little tired from singing. Come and rest here with Tomoka." Mizushima Miya also sat down next to Tomatsu Tomoka as if nothing had happened.

Ken Sakamuro, who was originally sitting on the other side, saw that Jun Matsueda's side was relatively empty, so he wanted to stand up and go over to talk to him, but was stopped by the girl next to him.

"Sakamuro-kun, please don't go over there, okay?"

"Ah? Why?" Sakamuro Ken scratched his short hair.

"There's a war going on over there, with both the real boss and his agent fighting together." Another girl answered his question.

"I say, can I sit over there over at Sakamuro?" Jun Matsueda, who was sitting in the middle, raised his hand.

"No!" Four voices answered him.

Tsushima Kou was sitting in the private school, it was break time.

"I wonder what's going on over at Matsueda?" Perhaps because the air conditioner was too cold, Tsushima Kou shivered.

Chapter 22: Love Song, Broken Heart Song and School Song

"What kind of music does Matsueda like to listen to?" Mizushima Miya assisted with a common question.

"It depends. I usually listen to instrumental music when I'm studying, and more rock music on a regular basis."

"So Matsueda-chan listens to rock music? He doesn't look like that at all." The hot girl, Rion, expressed surprise. "Looking at the way you were at school, I thought you listened to classical piano or something."

"Haha, Jun-kun is actually a very interesting person in private, with many special ideas and actions." Tomatsu Tomoka smiled, showing off her understanding of Matsueda Jun without any care.

Liyin pushed Mochizuki's waist, indicating that she should say something.

Mochizuki Haruka just stared at the huge screen in a daze, with colorful lights flowing on her face.

"Hey, who requested this song?" An unfamiliar prelude sounded.

"Ah, it's mine!" Tomatsu Tomoka stood up to get the microphone. She stood in the middle of the box, waiting for the first sentence to sound, her body swaying slightly with the music.

"so cute!"

"Yeah, so cute." Everyone praised.

The light turned pink, shining on Tomatsu Tomoka's school uniform skirt, making it look particularly ambiguous.

"The country is on the road to revival, but I am in my pride." The girl began to sing, a playful tone humming out of her mouth.

This was a naughty, devilish love song for girls. The girls began to scream softly. The girls in Class 2 looked at Class 1 with pride. Their most beautiful girls began to take the initiative.

The boys didn't react because they knew that Tomatsu Tomoka was not singing for them.

"It's a big sale right now, and you're sitting in the auction seat." Tomatsu Tomoka tilted her head and pointed a finger in the direction of Matsueda Jun, hoping that the handsome boy would buy her.

"Charm~Charm~It still depends on charm." The girl twisted her waist and turned in circles, revealing the lines of her hips and chest.

"The result was~unexpected~how hateful, so hateful." The girl deliberately pretended to grit her teeth, but the expression she gave Mochizuki Haruka might not be fake.

"You've hit the nail on the head—" She drew a heart in front of her face, folded her hands on her chest, faced Matsueda Jun, stretched out her right index finger and poked in the air, as if she was not poking the air, but the girl's soft heart.

"Oh no, we can't resist it at all." The girls in Class 1 whispered to each other.

After the song was over, the girl sat back down beside Matsueda Jun. She was sweating from the singing and dancing, and the familiar scent of lily of the valley drifted over her.

Tomatsu Tomoka winked at him: "How do you feel, Jun-kun?"

"It's very different from the impression Tomatsu-san usually gives people." Jun Matsueda was a little surprised. The girl standing in front of him was completely a succubus. He seemed to be able to see the heart-shaped tail behind the girl.

"If Chun-jun wants to see, there's more." She stuck out her tongue.

Tomatsu Tomoka glanced at Mochizuki Haruka on the other side. The hot girl Rion had disappeared, leaving her alone.

Liyin came back with the microphone and handed it to Mochizuki Haruka, "Eh? Mochizuki wants to sing too?" The dejected group of girls cheered up again.

The next song originally scheduled was cut off and a new prelude sounded.

A burst of seemingly cheerful music started playing.

Mochizuki Haruka was still sitting in her seat, without any extra movements, she just opened her mouth slightly and picked up the microphone.

"The room becomes muddy after you leave"

"The past is like a distant mist, my strength, which I can no longer show, is gradually becoming hazy and dim."

Everyone in the box was shocked. This was a breakup song. The sad lyrics of a mature woman were sung by Mochizuki Haruka's ethereal and tender voice.

"This morning's farewell~ I wish it had rained"

If it rains, can you stay a little longer?

"I only knew loneliness after meeting you~ Now that I've lost you~ I'm alone for the first time"

Mochizuki Haruka's voice was low, and the entire box was silent, with only the jazz accompaniment playing. She held the microphone and moved closer to Matsueda Jun, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Our garden where loquats were planted has long since withered and fallen into ruin."

"I've said goodbye so many times~ Come back, even just once."

The girl lowered her head, looking at her right hand placed next to Matsueda Jun's left hand, but she didn't dare to get close.

"By then, your love will never be in vain again."

Wangyueyao raised her head again and looked at the rotating ball light.

“I only knew loneliness when I met you, but I understand you better after losing you.”

"When words dance in the air and gradually fade away"

"Finally discovered"

“I’m actually alone.”

She sang the sadness after a breakup like a cup of afternoon tea, but no matter how light her voice was or how humorous the arrangement was, it couldn't hide her sadness.

The song has ended, but Mochizuki Haruka is still holding the microphone and leaning against Matsueda Jun, looking at his profile.

The box was still quiet. Tomatsu Tomoka's previous song could make young hearts frivolous and excited, but the endless sadness sung by Mochizuki Haruka made all mouths silent.

Tomatsu Tomoka and Mochizuki Haruka both looked at Matsueda Jun.

He took the microphone from Mochizuki Haruka and sang the school song of Ueyama High School.

"By the window in April, waiting for the wind of freedom"

"Have you found your spring? The stamens have already opened."

Finally, a voice broke the silence in the box. Some people sang along unconsciously. When everyone sang in unison, the relaxed and happy atmosphere finally returned.

Matsueda Jun had stopped singing a long time ago. He lowered his head and asked Mochizuki Haruka, "What were you thinking about singing this kind of song? It almost ruined the atmosphere."

Mochizuki Haruka turned his head away and didn't look at him, because that was not what he should be asking.

"Mochizuki-san, I'm sure we've only known each other for a short time, so why do you act like we have a lot of history?" Matsueda Jun finally asked.

"Don't be so self-indulgent. I'm not singing for you." She opened the door and walked out of the box.

Wang Yueyao scooped up water from the sink and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Ever since waking up from that dream, this song has become Mochizuki Haruka's favorite.

"I've never seen you talk so hard." Tomatsu Tomoka appeared behind her, and the mirror in the sink reflected the figures of both of them.

Mochizuki Haruka turned around and splashed the water on Tomatsu Tomoka, "It's none of your business."

"Do you have a system?" Tomatsu Tomoka dodged her attack and asked suddenly.

Mochizuki Haruka paused in front of the sink. "What do you mean? Do you mean the phone system or something else?"

Tomatsu Tomoka looked at her face and did not answer.

By the time the two returned to the box, Matsueda Jun had already left. The girls from the two classes surrounded them, like subjects welcoming a triumphant king.

Jun Matsueda was already riding his bike on the way home, leaving the girl's sorrow behind him. He was going home now, cleaning in the afternoon, packing his luggage in the evening, and he would be able to return to the orphanage tomorrow.

He hummed a song, a summer vacation worth looking forward to.

This thought continued until the next day, when he took the bus, waited for more than ten stops, and finally walked into the gate of Mitaka City Welfare Home and met Tomatsu Tomoka.

Chapter 23: A Trip to the Orphanage

"Why is Tomatsu-san here?" Jun Matsueda met an unexpected person at the door of the Mitaka City Welfare Home.

"Because our wind band is having a charity performance, and today is the first stop." Tomatsu Tomoka was also surprised. Should she say it was fate or destiny? The girl felt sweet inside.

Jun Matsueda followed Tomatsu Tomoka into the house, and for a moment he couldn't tell who was the host and who was the guest.

After passing through the gate is the lawn of the welfare home. In the middle is a simple wooden stage where Yamami Matsukori and other members are standing.

Jun Matsueda walked over, and the reflections from the rows of musical instruments almost blinded him.

"Hey, why is Jun Matsueda here?"
