Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

[Kotobuki Tsumugi shrank back a little in fear, but soon her curiosity got the better of her, so she asked if she could touch them. You sent the two squirrels away, but told her not to think about it as the white-necked squirrel was fierce to other animals except him. Kotobuki Tsumugi should not make things difficult for herself.]

[Kotobuki Tsumugi coughed twice in a self-restrained manner, and then reached out to embrace the two squirrels. Both squirrels were good at trying to please people, and they climbed directly onto her shoulders and rubbed their heads against her cheeks.]

[Kotobuki Tsumugi had a cute expression on her face, her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but chuckle a few times because it was a little itchy, but she quickly came back to her senses and put on a cold expression again. ]

[After waiting for Kotobuki Tsumugi for half an hour, she finally let go of the two squirrels who were exhausted from acting cute. She also named the two little guys without permission, one was called Xiaozuo and the other was called Xiaoyou. She even wanted to give White Neck a name, but she didn't dare to do it after being yelled at twice by White Neck's sharp voice.]

[After parting with Kotobuki Tsumugi, you realized that Goto Ichiri had been waiting for you in the store to go home together. You and Goto Ichiri got on the train home together. Along the way, Goto Ichiri seemed to have something to ask you, but he never opened his mouth.]

[In the following days, Kotobuki Tsumugi would forcefully drag you into the light music club as soon as school was over. However, since the band was about to have its first live performance, you never stayed long. Kotobuki Tsumugi complained about this and tried to stop it several times. In the end, she gave up after you sacrificed Xiao Zuo and Xiao You to let the others in the light music club play with you.]

[Saturday is coming soon, and the first live of the band is about to begin. Those who come to support are basically the friends of Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo, as well as the few people from the light music club you called. It is worth mentioning that Hirasawa Yui had already joined the day before. She was very surprised to see you there, but after hearing Kotobuki Tsumugi's voice, she always seemed afraid of her for some reason, as if Kotobuki Tsumugi was scary.]

[This time, Hirasawa Yui did not bring her sister to Fanxing, but Tianzhong Ritsu brought her brother Tianzhong Satoshi. You feel that Tianzhong Satoshi and his sister are quite similar, especially the eyes and eyebrows. I can only sigh that they are really siblings. ]

[However, unlike his sister who is carefree, Tai Naka Satoshi is much more shy, especially when it comes to girls. He dares not say a word. Unfortunately, except for you, everyone else is a girl. Of course, except for Ijichi Hoshika and PA-san, who are almost 30 years old. They can no longer be called girls. Therefore, he can only choose to talk to his sister or you. ]

[What you didn't expect was that Otsuki Yuyuko and Hiroi Kikuri were also present. After asking, I found out that it was Ijichi Kouka who invited Otsuki Yuyuko, and Hiroi Kikuri insisted on coming over after hearing about it. Otsuki Yuyuko couldn't stand the nagging so she had to bring her over.]

[Your live performance has begun. Unexpectedly, the opening performance of all of you was much worse than in practice. Fortunately, Kita's friends were quite supportive, so the MC was not too embarrassed. The performance of the first song was really disappointing, but your friends' reactions were okay. Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo's friends don't know much about music, so naturally they can't tell what's good and what's bad. The people in the light music club are also girls with good personalities.]

[But after all, there are not only your acquaintances in the audience. Two impolite and disdainful voices still rang out. They did not control the volume and just expressed their disappointment in you openly. It was also the first time for Kita Ikuyo to deal with such a situation. She was preparing for the second MC and her voice became trembling. Everyone could see that she was afraid.]

[You glanced at the two complaining guys in the audience. They looked familiar. They must be regular customers of Fanxing. They must have some taste in music. You made a lot of mistakes in the first show, so it's reasonable for you to feel disappointed.]

[Although it is natural, it does not mean that you can ignore it. You memorize their faces. Next time you see them, you must ask Goto Ichiri to add more water to her drink or even put some wasabi in it. Well, wasabi is still too easy to be discovered, so forget it.]

Chapter 70: Drunk

[Without any discussion, you took the initiative to play a keyboard solo. I have to say that your performance was amazing. The audience and the stage were all particularly quiet for your stormy solo without any warning. You used your eyes to signal the rest of the band to follow. The first one to react was Goto Ichiri. Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo looked at each other and followed the rhythm immediately. Although Kita Ikuyo's reaction was a little slow, she was obviously not as nervous as in the first show after she followed.]

[The second song was obviously better than the first one. Your performance won the applause of the audience, including the two female audience members who had made disgusting remarks earlier. You decided not to add water to their drinks.]

[Your solo seems to have won over quite a few audiences, and everyone in the light music section also praised you to the heavens, but Kotobuki Tsumugi said very bluntly that she could play better, and Tainanaka Ritsu's younger brother, Tainanaka Satoshi, looked at you with more admiration in his eyes.]

[You accept all the compliments from everyone without exception, so much so that you even admire yourself.]

[Otsuki Yuyuko saw that your debut was unexpectedly successful. Although she was very reluctant to accept it because she remembered how embarrassed she was the first time, she still expressed her congratulations in a roundabout way. Hiroi Kikuri insisted on going to the celebration party.]

[Ijichi Hoshika seemed very happy and offered to treat everyone to a meal, but Hiroi Kikuri had to pay for it.

Just pay for it yourself. 】

[The members of the light music club were embarrassed to be treated by someone they had just met, so they said goodbye and left. You considered that forcing them to stay might make them feel uncomfortable, so you didn't try to keep them. However, you caught Otsuki Yuyuko who was trying to sneak away, because she was an acquaintance of the band after all.]

[At the celebration party, you secretly picked up the bottle of Demon Slayer Wine that Hiroi Kikuri always carried with her. Since you heard that this wine was said to be able to kill men as powerful as demons, you curiously looked at the alcohol content. You were amused to see that it was only 16°.]

[Although you didn't have a problem with alcoholism in your previous life, you had a surprisingly good alcohol tolerance. At least you could still walk home normally after drinking a bottle of 16-plus-proof liquor. How dare this -degree liquor use such a cheesy advertising slogan? You took advantage of everyone's inattention and drank the entire liter of liquor in one gulp.]

[Everyone present was stunned, especially Hiroi Kikuri, who was so distressed that she almost cried.]

[You thought that drinking such a bottle of wine would not cause any big feeling, but unfortunately, your alcohol tolerance in your previous life was okay, but it has nothing to do with you now. You instantly felt that the whole world was spinning, and the people who were eating together seemed to have discussed it beforehand and collectively used the Shadow Clone Technique.]

[You lie on the couch but feel like you are lying on a rotating compass. You try to stand up but your hands and feet seem to have melted and you have no strength to move.]

[After being dizzy for a long time and having just eaten, you inevitably want to vomit, but at this time everyone has also reacted to what happened. Ijichi Hoshika glared at Hiroi Kikuri fiercely, and then regardless of her innocent expression, she called Hongxia to carry you out with a garbage bag to induce vomiting. ]

[But you broke free from them, mumbling some lines you had heard from somewhere, and making a very immature laugh, as if you were possessed by Lelouch.]

[Everyone is really worried about you, especially the weird looks from other people in the store. It's a good thing you didn't wear your school uniform because it was Saturday, otherwise someone might call the police and say someone tricked a minor into drinking.]

[It took you half an hour to finally calm down, and you were finally carried outside to cool off. Ichichi Kouka volunteered to take care of you, Goto Ichiri and Yamada Ryo also said they would come to help, and Kita Ikuyo naturally followed suit when she saw this.]

[The girls carried you to the nearest bench. You were already drunk and soon fell asleep. The band members felt helpless and a little bit fresh when they saw you like this.]

[Although you usually have a weird personality, you are always reliable. But today you did something stupid. Seeing you lying on the bench without any defense, Goto Ichiri poked you on the face a few times for no apparent reason, and then quickly withdrew his hand like a child who had done something wrong.]

[But this action did not escape the eyes of Ichichi Hongxia. She seemed to have thought of a good idea and took the lead in suggesting that we take advantage of this rare opportunity to leave you with some black history so that you will never dare to drink again.]

【Yamada Ryo gave a peaceful smile, then took out a marker from his pocket and started to paint directly on your face. As the proposer, Ichichi Kouka naturally didn't want to be left behind, and braided your hair. Kita Ikuyo began to select the camera effects on her phone. Goto Ichiri thought about it and finally borrowed Yamada Ryo's marker to write the four words "Pochi-sama" on a torn piece of cardboard, and then put it on your chest.】

[The world-famous painting "Drunken Monster Servant" was born. 】

【Taking this opportunity, several girls who had ended their bands began to share their original intentions for forming or joining bands. Ijichi Nijika wanted to become a famous band to help her sister's "STARRY" increase its fame, Yamada Ryo said it was to stick to the music in her heart, Kita Ikuyo said it was to change her unchanging self, and Goto Ichiri really couldn't say that she did it to gain popularity, so she said it was to express her feeling of world peace. 】

[I don't know why, even though you slept like a dead pig, the members who ended the band seemed to have gotten to know each other better.]

[But they soon stopped chatting because a group of crows led by White Neck landed on the bench where you were. They were frightened and moved away for a while. But the strange thing was that only Goto Ichiri was hit and attacked. Maybe they felt the aura of being easy to bully coming from Goto Ichiri.]

[The crows stayed until you woke up and then left. It probably took more than an hour, but after you woke up, you felt even worse. Ijichi Hoshika had no choice but to call a car to take you and Goto Ichiri home.]

Chapter 9 End (K)

[When you woke up the next day, you had no memory of last night except for a headache. You only remembered that you seemed to have stolen Hiroi Kikuri's wine. You couldn't remember anything that happened after that. So when you saw your face that was painted beyond recognition, you felt ridiculous.]

[Then you discovered that the group avatar of the band group that ended the band has changed to...]

[It became something indescribable. Although you didn't want to admit it, you still saw that the person holding the sign in the group of avatars was you. You zoomed in to see the words on the sign, and suddenly veins jumped in your forehead.]

[You ignored your headache and rushed to Goto Ichiri's house after taking a shower.]

[After seeing you, Goto Ichiri knelt down and kowtowed to you vigorously. His movements were smooth and seamless, as if he had rehearsed it many times.]

[You saw Goto Ichiri kneeling on the ground, trembling and helpless, and finally you softened your heart and just asked him what happened yesterday.]

[After hearing the whole story, you decided to never drink again. As you can imagine, this incident will become a dark history that will accompany you for the rest of your life.]

[You protested for a long time about the group avatar, but failed because Ichichi Hongxia said that this was a punishment for you who drank secretly. ]

[In the light music club, since Hirasawa Yui didn't have her own guitar, but after going to the music store, she didn't have enough money to buy the guitar she wanted, so everyone decided to work together to earn money. Before that, Hirasawa Yui had always used your Vegeta to practice. Under your supervision of checking her homework every day, her progress was rapid. Even you had to admit that Hirasawa Yui was indeed a genius.]

[The part-time job is to count the number of vehicles coming and going. This job is not very strenuous except that it is a bit boring. You and Kotobuki Tsumugi are assigned to the same group. You think that Kotobuki Tsumugi will count seriously anyway, so you want to be a little lazy and just hand in a number that is similar to Kotobuki Tsumugi. However, you are soon discovered, and she finally lets you go on the condition that she lends Xiao Zuo and Xiao You to play with for two days.]

[The part-time job was successfully completed, but one day's money was definitely not enough to buy the guitar that Hirasawa Yui wanted. After everyone decided to come a few more times, Hirasawa Yui finally returned everyone's money and finally decided to buy a cheap guitar. This was Hirasawa Yui's own decision, so no one had any objections.]

[You were absent from work for an innocent day, and Ichichi Hoshige scolded you severely. When she heard that you had gone to work somewhere else, she became even more angry. However, she later asked Ichichi Hongxia to come over and ask you if you needed money for something.]

[You answer that even if you have nothing to do, you are still short of money. ]

[When you received your salary that month, you found that it seemed that you were asked to pay more than before. You glanced at the arrogant store manager and decided to be less lazy in the future.]

[Hirasawa Yui only spent one-third of the money to buy the guitar she wanted, because the music store was a branch of Kotobuki Tsumugi's family. You knew that you must bring Kotobuki Tsumugi with you when you buy equipment in the future. Although your Vegeta didn't get cheated, you still feel that you lost a lot. ]

[Summer vacation is here. At Mio Akiyama's suggestion, you decided to go to the beach for a camp. The location is Kotobuki Tsumugi's villa. Since the light music club is always invited to the live, the end band and the light music club are already very familiar with each other, so you invited everyone from the end band to join you.]

[Everyone was chatting animatedly on the train. Ichichi Koinaka, Kotobuki Tsumugi, and Goto Ichiri were sitting in the same row with you. Somehow, the chat turned into a meeting to complain about you. Kotobuki Tsumugi couldn't stop talking about your embarrassing moments. Ichichi Koinaka also took out a photo of you that she took when you were drunk, so the photo was exposed to all the light music club members. Tainaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui were laughing so hard that they could hardly breathe. The train conductor was attracted by your noise and warned you.]

[You had a great time at the beach, but the main purpose was to keep in touch. Under the urging of Ijichi Kouka and Akiyama Mio, you started practicing at night. However, you had to run around after the light music club finished one song and then the band's song practice. After practicing for several hours, you were almost exhausted.]

[There is a large bath in the villa. After practice, they naturally want to relax, but the happiness belongs to them. As the only male present, you are locked in the practice room. In the end, you can only soak in the bath alone. You proposed that they should also be locked in to avoid being peeped, but your request was suppressed by the group.]

[You understand that wherever there are humans, there is oppression.]

[The training camp is over soon, and your summer vacation is over before you know it. What you are about to welcome is the school festival. The band will perform at Shuka High School, where Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo attend, and the light music club will also perform. Due to the unfortunate conflict in schedule, you are faced with the dilemma of choosing one of the two.]

【Considering that the band often performs live together, but the light music club rarely has the opportunity to perform on stage together, you can only decline the band's school festival performance. Everyone understands this, but it is still a bit disappointing.】

[The Light Music Club's performance at the school festival was very successful. Most of the audience were students from the same school, so they were very supportive and the atmosphere was very lively. Akiyama Mio had no stage experience, so she didn't pay attention to walking around the line and accidentally tripped, but fortunately you were prepared and caught her. ]

[The school festival is over. You heard that Goto Ichiri and the others seemed to be doing well. It was Goto Ichiri's stage diving at the end that seemed to have become a legend at Shuhua High School.]

[Since the little money you have is really not enough, you choose to work part-time on weekends. The place of work is a nearby pet shop. After you show your strong ability to soothe animals, the nearby pet shops are very welcoming to you. Some of them are much easier for you to help bathe and trim the pets, so the compensation you get every time is also very considerable. ]

[At the end of the first semester, you were relaxing in the club room as usual and preparing to go to Shimokitazawa, but a black car that looked very expensive blocked your way. The other party was very polite. He was dressed in formal clothes and said politely that their master wanted to see you. ]

[You are somewhat frightened, and somewhat doubt whether you have offended some very powerful person, but you search your memory thoroughly and still cannot obtain any useful information.]

[Fortunately, the other party seemed to be a serious person. You asked him what his purpose was, but unfortunately the driver didn't know either. He only knew that their master seemed to want to talk to him. After you asked who their master was, you found out that the other party was talking about Kotobuki Tsumugi's father.]

[Although you don't understand what Kotobuki Tsumugi's father wants to see you for, you feel relieved and get in the car with him to Kotobuki Tsumugi's home. But soon you feel that the word "home" is not accurate, and it would be more appropriate to describe it as a territory. ]

[You feel like you have entered a medieval noble castle. You have always known that Kotobuki Tsumugi's family is rich, but you have never had any idea how rich they are. To you, Yamada Ryo's family is already a wealthy family, but their home is just a little bigger than an average family, and the furniture is more exquisite. It is completely different from the scene of Kotobuki Tsumugi's family, which subverts your worldview.]

[You secretly criticized the evil capitalism in your heart.]

[You met Kotobuki Tsumugi's father, a tall and elegant man with a different temperament from ordinary people. However, his familiar eyebrows are exactly the same as her daughter's.]

[He first talked to you about school, club activities, your grades, and whether you have any hobbies.]

[You said everything you could, but Kotobuki Tsumugi's father seemed very interested in you and kept asking you questions for a long time. But since he was your elder, you could only patiently answer them one by one. Your conversation ended only after Kotobuki Tsumugi came back.]

[Kotobuki Tsumugi didn't seem to know that you would be called here today. When she saw you and her father sitting together and chatting, she rubbed her eyes and thought she was hallucinating. But after she confirmed that it wasn't you, she angrily pulled her father over.]

[You don’t know what the father and daughter said to each other, you only saw Kotobuki Tsumugi blushing and walking back with her father at the end.]

[You didn't ask them what they talked about, but you would be lying if you said you weren't curious, especially since the first thing Kotobuki Tsumugi's father said after he came back was that you lived in Bengbu.]

[Kotobuki Tsumugi's father asks you if you have any objection to marrying into the family. ]

[You temporarily fell into a state of selflessness.]

[Kotobuki Tsumugi didn't seem to expect her father to suddenly say such a thing. She looked at her father in disbelief, who looked calm, and then looked at you, whose eyes were dull and had lost their luster. Steam began to rise from her head.]

[Konobuki Tsumugi's father saw you all like this, and after calmly drinking a sip of black tea, he spoke again and said that he just wanted to ask you how you felt about the phenomenon of marrying into the wife's family, and he had no other intentions. You are not an idiot, so you naturally wouldn't believe it. Who would specially invite their daughter's friends to their home and simply ask if they have any opinions on marrying into the wife's family? You don't understand, but at least there is a way out.]

【Please make your choice. 】

[1. Marrying into the wife's family is good, I don't want to work hard anymore Tsumugi. ]

[2. A real man should firmly resist changing his surname when marrying into the wife's family! ]

【3. Strictly speaking, the surname you change to is not yours anyway, so it doesn’t matter.】

【4. Think carefully before answering this question. 】

Nakamura Mine fell into deep thought. Is Kotobuki Tsumugi's father so direct? And in the simulation, he should have nothing to do with Kotobuki Tsumugi, right? Your daughter is only sixteen years old, there is no need to be so anxious, right?

Besides, his situation should not be pleasing to the big president.

No matter what, the only option that can be chosen is four. Option one can be considered a joke if it is only said to Kotobuki Tsumugi, but who would dare to say it in front of her father? Option two's machismo is definitely not pleasing, and option three feels irresponsible.

However, I don’t know what option four will say, so I hope it will be as serious as possible.

[You thought for a long time before answering. You said you didn’t have any special opinions about people marrying into the wife’s family, but you heard that there would be many restrictions after marrying into the wife’s family. You are a relatively free person, so you don’t want to be restricted.]

[Although your answer did not state it explicitly, your words and deeds actually indicated that you could not accept it.]

[After hearing your answer, Kotobuki Tsumugi calmed down. Her expression did not show any disappointment, but rather a look of relief.]

[Kotobuki Tsumugi's father smiled faintly, and then said something that choked you. He asked you if you confessed to Kotobuki Tsumugi not long after school started.]

[You were really confused now. You looked in Kotobuki Tsumugi's direction in disbelief, only to find that she just blushed and turned away, not looking at you at all. You really didn't expect Kotobuki Tsumugi to tell her father about this. You regretted it now. Why did you get into that black car? You should have used your agility to get rid of her.]

[You were so flustered that you couldn't organize your words at all. You stammered for a long time but couldn't form a single sentence. Seeing you like this, Kotobuki Tsumugi's father suddenly smiled heartily, patted your shoulder, and asked Kotobuki Tsumugi to take you downstairs. Then the driver from before took you back.]

[On the way downstairs, you and Kotobuki Tsumugi kept a distance of about one meter. To be honest, you two feel very awkward now. Apart from Kotobuki Tsumugi saying goodbye and you saying "oh", there was no other communication. That night, both of you couldn't sleep.]

[After that, until the holidays, you basically didn't dare to go to the light music club, and Kotobuki Tsumugi didn't force you to go there like before. Even in the same classroom, you rarely communicated. The other three people in the light music club were also a little surprised that you hadn't been there recently. Of course, they asked Kotobuki Tsumugi who was in the same class with you, but Kotobuki Tsumugi kept silent about it.]

[Taizhong Ritsu smelled gossip, and she brought Akiyama Mio and Hirasawa Yui to stop you. You thought it was not good, but it was too late. You had already been surrounded by the three girls. ]

[Under constant questioning, you had no choice but to tell them everything. You thought they would laugh at you, but it turned out that their focus was a little off. They were first surprised by the spectacular scene you described at Kotobuki Tsumugi's house. Although you could understand their feelings, this was not their focus at all.]

[The first one to return to normal was Akiyama Mio. She said that no matter what, it was not a solution for you to continue like this. Tainaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui also recovered. They asked what you were thinking and what you thought of Kotobuki Tsumugi.]

[You looked evasive and said that your opinion of them was similar. Tianzhong Ritsu covered her chest and took two steps back, saying that you were too greedy. Kotobuki Tsumugi was not enough, but you still coveted them. Somehow, seeing her like this, she calmed down and said calmly that she didn't have that kind of thought about Tianzhong Ritsu anymore, and that we were all good brothers.]

[Taiichirō used a despicable liver attack on you, and you fell to the ground. ]

[Jokes aside, you also know what they mean by this. During Christmas, the light music club decided to spend the night together at Hirasawa Yui's house, and you were no exception. The party was very fun, and at the end, Tianzhong Ritsu left first and left the space for you and Kotobuki Tsumugi. You finally spoke up, saying that you would forget about the previous things and that you should just go back to the way you were getting along before.]

[Kotobuki Tsumugi said with disdain that she no longer cared, and that you were the one who was hesitant, which made you feel a little foolish for being so entangled for so long.]

[When Kotobuki Tsumugi left the room, she saw the people who were pretending to leave but were actually sneaking outside the door. She instantly became angry and drove them all away. Then she left quickly in reality. When she reached a place where no one could see her, she squatted on the ground as if she had collapsed, and breathed a sigh of relief.]

[The days after that finally returned to normal. As you expected, only Nakano Azusa came to participate in the second semester. Frankly speaking, this shouldn't be the case with the popularity of the light music club. If you could hand out flyers properly instead of wearing such weird doll costumes. ]

[The band participated in the music festival, unfortunately they still didn't win the championship, but they also got a contract with a record company. ]

[Under the operation of the Internet Minister Kita Ikuyo, the number of people watching the band's end is also increasing, but most of them come to ask what type of cosmetics Kita Ikuyo uses, which makes you speechless. ]

[The second year of school life was as pleasant as ever. Kotobuki Tsumugi forced you to be her guide and took her to many places she had never been to. Although you were reluctant at first, you gradually got used to it. And every time you saw Kotobuki Tsumugi acting like she had never seen the world, you found it interesting.]
