My Romance Simulation with Them

Page 530

What opinions would the other members of the band have about her?

With that thought in mind, she slowly turned on her phone.

When she saw the time displayed as 2:46 AM, she felt conflicted again.

On the one hand, she was worried that Yamada Ryo was already fast asleep and wouldn't see her message.

On the other hand, she was worried about hearing a completely negative answer from Yamada Ryo.

These same emotions are mixed together.

This further complicated the girl's already chaotic feelings.

finally.

She took a deep breath.

She mustered the courage of her social butterfly at school and sent a message to Yamada Ryo.

[Hey! Be the most positive person: Senior Liang! I apologize for bothering you so late at night, but please reply if you see this. I have something very important to discuss with you.]

Fingers dance across the phone screen.

The red-haired girl had never been so nervous chatting with anyone on LINE.

At the same time, this line of characters is sent.

The girl then put her phone down.

I stood up nervously, wanting to get a glass of water to calm my nerves.

After all, it's already late.

There's a high probability that Yamada Ryo won't reply to her messages.

If that's the case, she'll probably have to relax for now and talk to the other person again tomorrow.

But just as she put down her phone and was about to stand up to drink water...

My phone, which had just sent the message, rang with a 'ding-dong' LINE message notification the next second.

"what?"

Kita Ikuyo stopped in her tracks, somewhat taken aback.

She stared at her phone screen in disbelief.

Keep in mind that it's already 2:30 in the morning.

How could Yamada Ryo possibly read and reply to a message instantly...?

But that's just the way it is.

A new message from Yamada Ryo appeared on the chat screen.

[The aloof bassist: Yuyo? Has she come to her senses? Is she going to marry Toki?]

"what?"

Kita Ikuyo coughed violently twice.

If the fact that she reads and replies instantly is already surprising to her.

Then came the reply from the other end of the screen, as if it were mind-reading.

This threw her into complete disarray.

And what's this all about marriage?!

My relationship with Nanxiang senior is not that kind of relationship at all, okay?

They weren't even lovers yet, but they were talking about marriage. Kita Ikuyo couldn't control her emotions for a moment and immediately reached out to send a message to Yamada Ryo.

[Hey! Be the most positive person: Senior Liang, it's so late, stop saying weird things. I have something else I want to discuss with you.]

The text is filled with honorifics to indicate that this matter is very important and that Yamada Ryo cannot continue to act as freely and recklessly as he always has.

But this message had only just been sent out.

Yamada Ryo then began to reply.

[The aloof bassist: Is that so? I thought you wanted to discuss with me how to join the 'Love Nangoki Alliance' between me, Lonely Girl, and Nijika. Turns out, that wasn't it?]

"..." Ikuyo Kita.

no...

The name of this alliance is already quite strange, isn't it?

And what does it mean to say I want to join you...?

I clearly did not say that.

She was just about to reply.

The next second, the 'ding-dong' sound from her phone interrupted her actions.

[The aloof bassist: You didn't have that dream, so you wanted to discuss it with us and ask if we could accept you? I guessed you'd contact me, so I waited specifically for you to talk to me.]

[Wow! Be the most optimistic person: Ryo also had that dream?!]

Upon hearing the unexpected words, Kita Ikuyo didn't even use the honorific "senpai" this time, and sent out the message with a shocked expression.

Yamada Ryo on the other side confirmed her guess.

[The aloof bassist: Yeah. I also had that dream where nine people got married together.]

[The aloof bassist: Ikuyo must be really conflicted right now, right?]

As expected of Senior Ryo!

He's really reliable!

Looking at Yamada Ryo's words.

Kita Ikuyo's spirits immediately lifted.

Yamada Ryo looked as if he had anticipated everything.

It instantly filled her with confidence for this consultation.

[Hmm! Be the most positive person: What does Senior Liang think?] She quickly asked the question.

[The aloof bassist: This isn't something you should ask me, it's something you should ask yourself.]

There was a slight pause in the text on the other end.

[The aloof bassist: Instead of asking my opinion, ask yourself... do you like it?]

"Uh--"

This sentence was said.

Kita Ikuyo, who was waiting for a reply, stopped in her tracks.

Yamada Ryo, however, did not stop replying despite Kita Ikuyo's pause.

[The aloof bassist: If you like someone, don't hesitate, just do what you think is right. Asking for my, Nijika's, and Lonely-chan's opinions is pointless, because liking someone is your right.]

"My own rights...?"

Looking at Yamada Ryo's reply, Kita Ikuyo fell into thought.

Do you like Nanxiang?

The answer to this question is not difficult.

Kita Ikuyo was perfectly aware of this.

She did indeed have feelings of 'liking' for Nango, who had always looked after them and protected them after the band ended.

So, according to Yamada Ryo's theory...

She should also have the right to like Nanxiang.

but--

[The aloof bassist: But you keep struggling not with whether you actually like Shi, but with whether Shi likes you or not?]

The words jumped out.

These words completely convinced Kita Ikuyo of Yamada Ryo's belief in him.
