Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 71 Mutual harm is the best way to vent.

When Mochizuki Yao walked into the room, there were already quite a few people sitting around the long conference table.

She and two other students from Class 1 sat down on seats with a sign that read "Class 1, Grade 1." Next to them was Tomatsu Touka, who was sitting in her chair without moving.

"Why didn't Songzhi come? Isn't he the class monitor?" Wangyue Yao asked her in a very awkward tone.

Tomatsu Tomoka didn't even move her eyes, just staring at the blank wall in front of her. Mochizuki Haruka could only turn away impatiently.

When almost everyone had arrived, the boy sitting at the top looked at his watch and started talking.

"We've gathered everyone here today to discuss the establishment of the Cultural Festival Executive Committee."

"It is generally agreed that the student council president, that is, myself, will serve as the cultural festival executive committee chairperson. If you have any objections, you can raise them on the spot."

No sound.

"Okay, no problem. Then I'll appoint two vice-chairmen: Tsushima Kou from Class 2, Grade 2, and Yamami Maki from Class 2, Grade 4."

The two men stood up from their respective seats and sat in the two empty seats on his left and right.

Mochizuki Haruka's eyes moved. She had seen both of these people in Matsueda Jun's network of relationships.

The girl automatically filtered out the chairman's subsequent words, which had nothing to do with her. Mochizuki Haruka only cared about two things now: her aunt and Matsueda Jun.

After the meeting, Yamami Maki left the meeting room and looked for Tomatsu Tomoka. She wanted to ask her about her recent situation and why Matsueda-san, despite being the class representative, was not there.

When she caught a glimpse of the two people at the end of the corridor, Yamami Moki hid herself in time.

"Are you here to take advantage of my misfortune?" She heard Tomatsu Tomoka's voice, and the emotion in it was an indifference she had never seen before.

Is that person really Tomatsu Tomoka? Yamami Maki took a peek in the corner and saw that it was indeed her junior schoolmate.

"I'm not trying to mock you on purpose, but hearing that your confession failed does make me curious about how you're doing now."

The sound of Mochizuki Haruka's footsteps moved, circling around Tomatsu Tomoka.

"This haggard look, pale face, and pitiful appearance will probably make more boys fall in love with you, right?" Yamami Moki heard the hidden malice in her tone.

Tomatsu Tomoka's tone remained calm, "Thank you for the comment. Your gossipy side is quite attractive too."

Yamami Maki silently covered her mouth, which was open in surprise. This was the first time she heard this schoolmate mock someone. The girl had always thought that this gentle schoolmate was the same type of person as herself.

Mochizuki Haruka did not get angry at Tomatsu Tomoka's sarcasm, but laughed out loud instead.

"Actually, I've been in a bad mood recently. No matter how hard I try to relax, I just can't be happy. I really want to thank you, Tomatsu Tomoka. Seeing you looking like a lost dog makes me feel much happier."

The smile in her tone came from the heart. Although she didn't know what happened between the two, Yamami Maki still stood up and walked in front of them.

"Mochizuki-san's words are a bit too much! Laughing at someone's sadness is not something someone from the Mochizuki family would do."

When she heard the words "Mochizuki family", the girl's heart, which had been cheered up by Tomatsu Tomoka's miserable appearance, sank again.

The Wangyue family is almost becoming an isolated family.

Yamami Moki was originally angry at Mochizuki Haruka's rude words and behavior, but when she saw the girl in front of her eyes also gloomy, she felt a little guilty.

Was it because what she said was too harsh?

"Bullmaster, don't worry about her. She's just too busy taking care of herself." The girl smiled at Yamami Maki. "Bullmaster, if you need me for something, you can wait for me at the stairs. I have something to say to Mochizuki-san."

Yamamiya Maki left with a worried look in her eyes.

There was a balcony at the end of the corridor. The autumn sunlight passed through the glass, walked into the room, and finally stopped at the feet of the two people, leaving a clear dividing line between light and dark, and the girls were left in the shadows.

"Mochizuki-san has that too, right? I don't think you have any reason to lie to me anymore." Tomatsu Yuka looked into Mochizuki Haruka's dark pupils, which were filled with icy snowflakes. Because others might hear, she didn't use the word "system" to refer to her.

"So what if there is? So you feel that your fate with him is no longer special?" Mochizuki Haruka crossed his arms in front of his chest, carefully catching every word spoken by the girl standing in front of him.

"I can tell you now that that is not a good thing. Do you think seeing more is a good thing?" Tomatsu Tomoka approached Mochizuki Haruka, and their upper bodies were pressed together. Because she was taller, she lowered her head slightly, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall, covering their shoulders.

A chill rose in Mochizuki Haruka's heart, as if she was possessed by a female ghost. She took a step back and distanced herself from Tomatsu Tomoka.

"I don't need you to remind me about this kind of thing. I know how to deal with it." Mochizuki Haruka has always maintained a cautious and restrained attitude towards both the system and the simulation. This is also the reason why she has always been ambiguous towards Matsueda Jun.

"No, you don't understand." Tomatsu Tomoka smiled again. Today was the day she smiled the most since school started. "I'm not reminding you out of kindness."

"It's like Pandora's box, and we don't even have the chance to refuse. We can only open it. It will inevitably bring disaster and a worse future. I have suffered deeply from it."

"I'm looking forward to it. Looking forward to seeing how you're tainted by it. It's not a good outcome for you and Matsueda-san, is it?"

Mochizuki Haruka took another step back and looked at Tomatsu Tomoka's calm and pale face.

"Don't look at me with such surprise. You can guess what's going on. If you saw the same thing I did, you wouldn't be so timid and hesitant when facing him, right?"

"Just wait, whatever you worry about or do will destroy everything you want."

"I just took a step ahead of you."

The girl finally whispered in her ear.

"I'll be waiting for you out front."

Mochizuki Haruka watched Tomatsu Tomoka walk towards a place where the light could not reach, and walked towards the stairs with Yamami Maki.

"Disgusting woman." Mochizuki Haruka's mood was ruined by her again.

There were two people's footsteps on the stairs, neither fast nor slow.

"What do you want from me, Moji-senpai?"

"I just wanted to ask how you've been doing lately." Yamami Maki was a little hesitant to speak because Matsueda-san did not attend the meeting.

"Me? I'm fine." The girl smiled. "I know what you're worried about. I'm fine, and I'll continue to participate in the wind band training."

"That's not what I meant!" Yamami Maki quickly walked to the platform between the stairs and turned to look at Tomatsu Tomoka.

"I'm just worried about you personally. It has nothing to do with the wind band. You're the junior I care about!"

Tomatsu Tomoka stopped in her tracks.

"Wouldn't you be disappointed in me if you saw what I looked like just now?"

Yamami Moji shook her head. "Everyone has a side that they don't want others to see. I won't be disappointed. To me, you're just my favorite schoolmate."

The two finally parted on the stairs.

When Tomatsu Tomoka stepped into the corridor on the first floor, she saw a man and a woman standing at the back door of her class.

The boy was the one she would never mistake for the other. She didn't know the girl, who was wearing a third-year student uniform with a skirt that had been altered to be very short. She smiled sweetly in front of the boy.

"Matsueda-san, I'm back from the meeting for you." Tomatsu Tomoka stood beside the two of them.

After hurting each other, it seemed that no one's mood improved.
