Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 22 Songs of Love, Songs of Heartbreak, 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, then crossed her hands in front of her chest, facing Matsueda Jun, and poked in the air with her right index finger, as if she were poking not 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 courtyard, where loquat trees once grew, is now withered and ruined." "I've said goodbye so many times—please 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.

　As you can probably tell from this chapter, it's Mochizuki's main storyline; this song is essentially Mochizuki's character song in the simulation.
