I'm here to form a band, what do you want to do!

[You get a new simulation evaluation: Girl, how much do you like cucumbers?]

[You have received the reward for this simulation: Cucumber Planting Techniques]

[Cucumber planting tips: It can help you grow bigger and longer cucumbers. ]

"..."

"No, I like small cucumbers."

[Ms. Wakaba Mutsu, can you please forget about the cucumber topic for a moment? ]

"..."

Ruoye Mu stopped talking.

Looking at the manual that appeared out of thin air in front of me, I believed that the system was not lying.

"Ito Rin, that's Xiangzi's friend, right?"

【Yes. 】

"Oh."

No longer paying attention to Cucumber, Wakaba Mutsu started to think about this simulation again, and felt confused about the future of his love life.

She thought about it and felt that this love affair didn't seem to be much different from her normal life.

The only advantage is that she now has a tree hole where she can express her inner thoughts.

In the end, this tree hole went to study because of the pressure from his parents.

Ugh……

Dating is indeed a boring thing. If we classify it according to interests, it may not be as happy as forming a band with other people.

He picked up the guitar at hand and played some heavy metal music, his eyes a little dazed.

What Ruoye Mu wanted to see in the future was whether she could develop her own personality, or her relationship with Xiangzi, rather than falling in love with a stranger.

So after rejecting Xiangzi, she tried this suspicious simulator.

[Ms. Wakaba Mu, the future is endless, but don't be discouraged. Nothing can be achieved overnight.]

"..."

There was some truth to it, although it wasn't much, but it was just enough to keep her going in this game.

"Can I still continue the simulation?"

[Of course you can. Each simulation isn't just a simple restart. With the accumulation of the previous one, you will open up a new future. Try a few more times, and you might find the ending you want. That might be a happy ending for you, Ms. Wakaba Mu, as an independent individual, unaffected by others.]

"Ugh."

Can she really do this?

Like Takamatsu Touma...

"Let's start the simulation."

……

"Come on, let's continue the simulation. This time I'm going to change my strategy."

[Number of simulations – 1, the current remaining number is 0]

[Simulation officially begins]

After your last failure, you realized that Ruoye Mu was a girl who longed for care and love. You ignored her to satisfy her parents, and failure was inevitable. But if you didn't satisfy Ruoye's parents, the pressure from them would follow you everywhere.

After the last simulation, you learned many of Ruoye Mu's little secrets. She longs for recognition, yet resists others' care. Her inherently slow personality means she has few friends.

[And in Wakaba Mu's heart, there is such a secret hidden, and he has his own voice. ]

After learning this, you decide to take swift and vigorous action. How will you act?

【①: Believe in your own wisdom.】

【②: Rely on your own charm.】

【③: Use your super power.】

【④: Put your hopes on good luck.】

"Where do I get my super powers for this kind of option?"

"Let me think twice."

The first one is not to be missed, Ito Rin

I am also quite proud of my own wisdom.

After all, they are high school students who can understand high school knowledge through self-study, so they definitely have no lack of confidence.

"Your charm is obviously a trap."

"Are you asking me to challenge Ruoye Mu to a charm test, and if she loses, she'll fall head over heels in love with me? You think this is hypnosis?"

"As for strength, man, no matter how strong you are, you are still afraid of bullets."

"This is my last bit of luck. I can't say I'm that unlucky, but how on earth do I look like a lucky person?"

Ito Rin thought about it and felt that the only thing that could be related to good luck was probably the system.

-Other aspects, it's just ordinary luck.

"It seems that in the end, I still have to rely on my amazing wisdom!"

"I'll choose ① and see what I can do."

【After careful consideration, you decide to trust your own wisdom. 】

[There's no doubt this is the right choice. After a long period of reflection, you came up with a good idea for Wakaba Mu's situation.]

What Ruo Yemu needs is not a conventional love, but a great adventure that can help her break free from the cage of her family.

【You decide to lead Wakaba Mu on this adventure.】

"Okay, okay, it's me as expected."

"You actually found something hidden so deeply. Take the cucumber and go destroy the world!"

"Go ahead. We're in a simulation after all, and no rules can constrain us."

After deciding to lead Wakaba Mu on a great adventure, you dressed up carefully, put on your newly bought clothes, and brought the props you would need next. On a sunny noon, you appeared in front of the gate of Yuezhisen Academy.

"Forehead."

"This scene looks familiar to me."

"You can't be confessing again, right? Please don't!"

[When they finish school, you know it's time. A moment later, you appear at the school gate, dressed neatly.]

"Hey, it feels a little different from last time."

[At the bustling school gate, everyone fell silent when they saw you. In the crowd, Ruo Yemu looked at you with sparkling eyes, full of interest.]

"There must be something wrong!"

[Looking at the eyes of your beloved, you are flustered, but the arrow has been drawn into the bowstring and there is no chance to regret.]

[Looking at the security guard running towards you, you sneered and pounded on your drums, causing the entire street to fall silent.]

【Let the world feel pain! 】

【Heavy metal is the real music! 】

[A shrill sound...]

[Then, you were driven out of the gate of Tsuki no Mori. After all, how could such an elegant aristocratic girls' school allow the existence of heavy metal music?]

"what?"

"Are you kidding me? Playing the drums at the school gate, right?"

"You plan to use this method to attract Wakaba Mu, right?"

[When you feel lost, a petite figure emerges from the alley. She stares at you in a trance, never expecting someone to be so bold.]

"???"

"Let me be honest. I don't know if it's bold or not, but nerves are definitely a must."

[Ruoye Mu walked over and offered to help you pick up the things on the ground.]

"Thank you." You thanked him with your heart pounding. Because of the hot weather, your mouth was dry.

"Hey, Cucumber is quite nice. He even helps me clean up."

[Wakaba Mu shook his head, but quickly pulled out a guitar from behind his back.]

"No, man, does this mean we should have an ensemble? How much does she love heavy metal?"

You certainly won't refuse her invitation.

"Then we must sprint!"

[However, you are not an excellent drummer. After all, your skills are all on bass and keyboards, and your drums are only at the beginner level.]

"so?"

[In the ensemble with Wakaba Mutsu, you tried your best to bring out your potential, but as mentioned before, you are not a good drummer and were quickly crushed by Wakaba Mutsu.]

[Watching her playing the guitar alone and absorbed in herself, you are obsessed.]

【Wakaba Mutsu, superb! 】

"Is this the time to chase idols? Improving your drumming skills is the most urgent thing! Are you crazy?"

After the music stopped, Ruoye Mu hugged her guitar and shook her head in disappointment. She had thought she'd met a fellow heavy metal music lover, but she hadn't expected him to be a complete newcomer. Ruoye Mu didn't look down on newcomers, but given her skill level, she had no intention of teaming up with a novice.

[As she packed up her guitar and was about to leave, you became anxious.]

[Even though it was an accidental success, you don't want to miss any opportunity. Since drums aren't your strong point, then you should show your true abilities!]

You pull out a bass guitar from behind you and solemnly ask Ruoye Mu to work with you again.

"Damn it! When did I learn Yamada Ryo's skills?"

Ruo Yemu looked at you strangely. Under your strong offensive, she finally nodded and agreed, although she didn't hold out much hope.

"Hehehe, little cucumber, it's time to show you what master-level skills are!"

[In order to win Wakaba Mu's attention, you showed your all without reservation.]

"Right, that is it!"

“Let the world be intoxicated by my music!”

As for why he didn't play the bass at the entrance of Moon Forest in the beginning, it was probably because he couldn't even attract the security guards.

【Wakaba Mu was shocked.】

She had never expected that the drum set, which the other party was so proud of, would be a complete mess. Instead, the bass that he had inexplicably brought out sounded so awful that it almost made her want to cry.

"Ahem, there's no distinction between good and bad musical instruments."

She no longer thought about leaving immediately and stood there, looking at you quietly. Just when you thought she was asleep, she suddenly spoke.

“Why try heavy metal?”

"what?"

You hold your bass, looking up at the sky, your handsome face expressionless until tears well up in your eyes, and then you slowly speak: "I want to let out the voice of my heart."

"Fuck, they really don't have any shame at all. Is it easy for a cucumber to be a little impulsive? They even copied this!"

"And these hot tears, anyone looking at the sun will cry."

After hearing your words, Ruo Yemu stood there motionless. Although her inner emotions were not strong, she still felt touched when she heard a stranger express the same ideals as her.

"Yes, that makes sense."

[Seeing Wakaba Mu's heart fluttering, you didn't rush. You put your bass on your back, as if you were about to say goodbye to her. As a result, you missed the chance to team up with her that day.]

"???"

"Playing hard to get is being used on Cucumber. What kind of wisdom is that?"
