Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

When they were about to finish work, what even Nakamura Mine didn't expect was that Hoshikuma Utabuki actually dragged Yasaka Haruha, who was struggling to escape, and ran up to them.

Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo, who also knew these two people, seemed a little stunned, and then they looked in the direction of Yamada Ryo with some concern. After all, there was no need to say who the two were looking for.

"Hmph!" Yasaka Haruha maintained her pride firmly, but soon she couldn't hold it anymore because of the silent scene.

"Why don't you say something?" Yasaka Haruha blushed with embarrassment, and even her angry expression seemed very stiff. It was obvious that she couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere.

"Ryo, I felt this way the last time I saw her. Your personality as a former captain is even more troublesome than that of the store manager." Nakamura Mine whispered in Yamada Ryo's ear, but in fact, although his voice was indeed not loud, it was just loud enough for Yasaka Haruha to hear clearly.

"really."

"indeed."

Yamada Ryo and Hoshikuma Utabuki answered in sync, which made the two people with mild facial paralysis look at each other subconsciously and feel a little funny at the same time.

"You two guys!" Feeling that she was being laughed at, Yasaka Haruha immediately became unhappy, and glared at Yamada Ryo and Hoshikuma Utabuki with her round eyes, but this instead caused the two to burst into laughter.

"Did you do something?" Seeing this nostalgic scene, Ijichi Hongxia poked Nakamura Mine, who had stood up at some point, with her elbow.

"What do you mean?" Nakamura Mine tried to get away with it by playing dumb.

"It's what I did that time when you threw all the work to me..." Kita Ikuyo's voice filled with resentment came over, and it was not difficult to see that she was deeply impressed by this incident.

Chapter 140 Band

"This...that...hehe~" Feeling a little creepy by Kita Ikuyo's resentful expression, Nakamura Mine had no choice but to admit it. Anyway, the two people in front of him had already determined the answer in their hearts.

"Next time I will definitely take the initiative to help Senior Liang!" Kita Ikuyo regrouped and said with a firm expression.

"No, I'm not competing with you on this..." Nakamura Mine waved his hands speechlessly. Why did both the future Kita Ikuyo and the present one regard him as an opponent?

"But Feng has always cared about Liang, right? Hmm?" Ijichi Hongxia said to Nakamura Feng with an ambiguous look on her face, and winked playfully as she spoke.

Nakamura Mine probably understood that he was misunderstood again, but it was difficult for him to explain it, so he just turned his head away. However, he didn't expect that Ijichi Kouka had no intention of letting him go, and instead followed his gaze.

"Ryo, is your boyfriend very familiar with Hongxia?" Hoshikuma Utabuki saw the interaction between Nakamura Mine and Ijichi Hongxia out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly looked at Yamada Ryo with a strange expression.

"He and I don't have that kind of relationship." After hearing what Hoshiguma Utabuki said, Yamada Ryo turned around and saw this scene. She explained calmly, but her slightly narrowed eyes did not escape the eyes of Yasaka Haruha who had been observing her.

"Haha~ I didn't expect you actually like that kind of frivolous guy. You know, his eyes almost popped out when he saw me before!" Yasaka Haruha lied shamelessly.

However, Ryo Yamada felt a little embarrassed for Nakamura Mine as he saw how he disliked Yasaka Haruha throughout the whole process.

While Yasaka Haruha was deliberately showing off in front of Yamada Ryo how obsessed Nakamura Mine was with her, Nakamura Mine had already been completely defeated by Ijichi Kouka's attack.

"So didn't I tell the truth? I am actually a person from the future!" Nakamura Mine spoke the absolute truth, but unfortunately the way the two people looked at the patients deeply hurt his honest heart.

"Feng, you are already a big boy, right? Don't say such things anymore."

"Yes, Nakamura-kun, it's rare that you look good. You won't be popular like this."

"..."

Faced with the two people's well-intentioned advice, Nakamura Mine could only respond with a desperate look.

"Cough cough."

A not-so-familiar cough sounded from behind him. When Nakamura Mine turned around and saw the face that seemed to be acting condescending, he felt a headache coming on.

"What are you doing?" Nakamura Mine took a few steps back behind Ijichi Kouka with some caution. Since he traveled through time, the girl in front of him was the only one he wanted to stay away from. It's not that he disliked her, but he just felt that they were not compatible. Fortunately, they didn't actually know each other in real life.

"That... is..."

Seeing this guy suddenly becoming a little embarrassed, Nakamura Mine had a weird look on his face.

"You, your performance today..."

(Hmm? Is this guy here to praise me?)

Looking at the other person's look, Nakamura Mine felt that he seemed to have wronged him. Although he didn't know what the three of them had talked about just now that in the end this guy would come over and praise him, as a polite and good boy, Nakamura Mine was ready to accept the other person's compliment with a smile.

"Your playing is such a mess! How could a normal person do something so messed up!?"

The corners of Nakamura Mine's mouth were originally curled up with a smug arc, but what he was greeted with was a severe scolding.

"I don't want to be told that by a guitarist like you who only wants to steal the limelight on the stage!" Nakamura Mine was also a little annoyed. Thinking of the last time he saw them perform with Liang, he responded directly and rudely.

"Me! I was just performing hard, and the audience's response was very good, right?" Although she said this, Yasaka Haruha's eyes were somewhat evasive.

"So, as long as the audience response is good, everything is fine?" Nakamura Mine knew that this kind of thinking was the main reason why her relationship with Yamada Ryo became strained.

"So what? Did I do something wrong?" Yasaka Haruha was a little agitated. She was not a fool. She could see clearly that her thoughts and actions were the main reason for the collapse of the band. But she couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. Wasn't it her responsibility as the captain to make the band more and more popular? Who in a band wants to remain unknown?

"Let's not talk about right or wrong, let me first talk about my thoughts. I think rock bands are not about the band catering to the audience, but about the band showing its own style, and then the audience chooses the band they like. At least that's what I think."

"Of course I know this..." Yasaka Haruha's tone sounded much more depressed.

"Ryo told me before that she really liked the songs that your band used to sing when they were young and immature. I haven't seen you like that in person, but I think you must have been much more dazzling back then than you are now." Nakamura Mine's words made Yasaka Haruha and Hoshikuma Utabuki's expressions become complicated, with both confusion and nostalgia.

However, Yamada Ryo widened his pupils slightly and looked at Nakamura Mine with a look full of confusion.

(Have I told him about this?)

Ever since Nakamura Mine appeared in front of Yamada Ryo, Nakamura Mine was a very strange guy to him. Not only was his life experience a mystery, but there were also countless suspicious things about him. Among them, the fact that he knew them very well was arguably the most suspicious thing.

But just now, what came out of Nakamura Mine's mouth was an idea that she had never told anyone before, which was very abnormal.

(Superpowers?)

"I once thought that what Haruha did was right, but now it seems that we may have lost something important." Hoshikuma Utabuki said with a gloomy look. In fact, if you want to say who cares about this band the most, it is neither Yamada Ryo who chose to quit in order to stick to his own music, nor Yasaka Haruha who was a little too ambitious in order to make the band better, but Hoshikuma Utabuki who regards this band as his only home.

Unlike Yamada Ryo, after leaving the band he at least still had his friend Ijichi Kouka, who reads "Friend" and writes "Mom", but after leaving the band, Hoshiguma Utabuki was immersed in her own world. The only one who could tolerate her like this was their band, and now, even this has disappeared.

Chapter 141 End

Hoshiguma Utabuki's words completely quieted down Yasaka Haruha, who still had a bit of stubbornness on her face. Nakamura Mine, Ijichi Nijika, and Kita Ikuyo consciously left space for the three former band members.

"Feng, when do you plan to leave?" Ijichi Hongxia asked Nakamura Feng who was a little dazed.

[Yamada Ryo's past simulation is about to end. Will the host choose to leave immediately? 】

As if it was planned, just when Ijichi Hongxia asked him when he would leave, Nakamura Mine received a message from the system. Looking at the three people not far away whose expressions seemed to have become much more relaxed, Nakamura Mine leaned on the railing with mixed feelings.

The system voice that he hadn't heard for a long time made him realize again that this was just a fake world created by the system. Even if this was not the case, Nakamura Mine was definitely a fake existence to this place. It should be the same world, but Nakamura Mine could only regard it as a similar world now.

"Feng?" Ijichi Kouka's voice brought Nakamura Feng back to reality.

"Ah, probably...I'll be leaving soon."

"That's it..."

"Thank you."

Ijichi Kouka suddenly thanked him, and Nakamura Mine looked over curiously, but what he saw was Ijichi Kouka's eyes that were still shining brightly under the moonlight.

"Cool thing."

"Didn't you say this a long time ago?"

"Well, but I haven't seen that guy so relaxed in a long time." Looking at the faint curve at the corners of Yamada Ryo's mouth under the light, Ijichi Hongxia herself also felt a lot more relaxed.

"I want to thank you too." Kita Ikuyo suddenly interrupted at this time.

"You're here on behalf of Liang as well?" Nakamura Mine found it a little funny. It was okay if it was Hongxia, but now even Kita came to thank him?

"No, I want to thank Nakamura-kun for inviting me to be the lead singer these days. Although I know I didn't do very well, it is already a good experience for me."

"Oh, this is what you mean. I hope you don't blame me for pulling you over without my permission." If Nakamura Mine were to rank the level of familiarity with the members of the Ending Band, the first one would naturally be Goto Ichiri, and at the end Nakamura Mine would definitely leave it to Kita Ikuyo, because unlike Goto Ichiri and the others, Nakamura Mine feels that Kita Ikuyo can be friends with anyone. So Nakamura Mine has been wondering, for Kita Ikuyo, the members of the Ending Band except Yamada Ryo are the same as her other friends.

Perhaps for the socialite Kita Ikuyo, they are not irreplaceable. Of course, this may just be that Nakamura Mine is being pretentious.

"Well...it was a bit difficult at the beginning, but after I really started doing it, I felt that being in a band is really an attractive thing! Just one person's applause can make people feel excited, and just one person's indifferent look can make people work harder to get recognition. These are things I have never experienced in the past ten years."

Hearing Kita Ikuyo's familiar words, Nakamura Mine couldn't help but chuckle. He felt that he might have been wrong about something. Perhaps the girl named Kita Ikuyo was a much purer person than he thought.

People who treat others sincerely will naturally be recognized by others. He suddenly understood why Kita was so popular.

"You're worthy of being a real person. You can say such embarrassing words so easily." Nakamura Mine said with a smile.

"Huh?! It took me a lot of courage to say that!" Kita Ikuyo made a dissatisfied voice.

"Yes Yes."

"It's true!"

[Since the host has not made a choice for a long time, this simulation will end in ten minutes. Please be prepared. ]

The cold voice coming from the system in his mind dispelled Nakamura Mine's happy mood like a basin of cold water.

(How strange, since it was only a simulation.)

Nakamura Mine looked at the two people in front of him with mixed feelings, then looked at the three long figures in the distance.

(It’s not a real farewell, but I still feel lonely...)

(When I return to reality, I will probably be the only one who knows about this experience.)

"Hongxia, Kita, I'm leaving."

"Eh? Now?" Hearing what Nakamura Mine said, Ijichi Hongxia felt a little reluctant. Although the time they spent together was not very long, every day became much more lively after Nakamura Mine appeared. Even her sister, who always liked to keep everything to herself, became more talkative.

(Starting tomorrow, I only need to cook for two people...)

"Okay, okay, you guys talk to Liang for me, I'll leave first." Since there was really not much time left, Nakamura Mine planned to make a quick decision and leave here to find a deserted place to end the simulation. It was a bit stupid to say, because it would obviously not affect anything if the settlement ended directly in front of them, but he still couldn't treat the experiences during this period and this world as just a simulation.

"By the way, Kita, if you really want to join the band, you'd better learn guitar." After saying this, which made Kita Ikuyo a little stunned, Nakamura Mine just turned around and wanted to leave, but he seemed to have thought of something again, so he stopped and turned around and said to Kita Ikuyo again:

"By the way, if you want to buy a guitar, it's better to ask the clerk, don't mistake it with a bass." After saying this last sentence, Nakamura Mine didn't give the two people a chance to stop him, and ran out directly.

"Again?" Kita Ikuyo stretched out his hand in front of him and looked blankly in the direction where Nakamura Mine disappeared.

(Learn, learn guitar? And why again?)

"He's really a strange person." Ijichi Kouka couldn't help but sigh again, and Kita Ikuyo also nodded in agreement.

(There shouldn't be any problem here.)

Leaning against the door of a record store covered with posters, Nakamura Mine slowly waited for the last few minutes.

(By the way, I have to go to Pochi's simulation later, right? I don't know when I will be able to return...)

“This is my favorite CD store.”

When there was only one minute left in the countdown, Nakamura Mine heard an unexpected use.

"Ryo?" Looking at Yamada Ryo who was gasping for breath in front of him, Nakamura Mine opened his mouth slightly in surprise, not knowing what to say.

"You're leaving without even saying hello?"

"this......"

【30, 29, 28......】

Chapter 142 Dream?

Seeing that time was really running out, Nakamura Mine wanted to escape the scene again, but he was held tightly by Yamada Ryo who was well prepared. To be honest, Yamada Ryo, who was not good at sports like Goto Ichiri, had exhausted his physical strength and really had no energy to play hide-and-seek with Nakamura Mine anymore.

"Why are you running?!" Yamada Ryo frowned. She had finally found this guy in front of her, but he wanted to run away as soon as he saw her. She was really unhappy.

"No, I really have a force majeure reason." Nakamura Feng really wanted to cry but had no tears. What could he say? Could he tell her that he ran away because he was afraid that disappearing suddenly would scare her?

"What's the reason?" Yamada Ryo's face was full of distrust. What was the reason that he had to make this guy look as if he had seen a ghost?

【18, 17, 16......】

"This is for you." Seeing that Nakamura Mine couldn't answer, Yamada Ryo didn't intend to continue to be aggressive. He pried open Nakamura Mine's palm and placed a blue pick in it.

"Hmm?" Nakamura Mine picked up the pick in his hand and looked at it. There was actually someone's signature on it.

(Oh? Could it be the autograph of some big shot?)

“This is my signed pick. There is only one in the world.”

"So you signed it yourself!"

【10, 9, 8......】

"If you sell this thing to Kita, you can probably cheat her out of at least one month's pocket money, right?" Thinking of Kita Yuyo's fanaticism for Yamada Ryo, Nakamura Mine felt that he had underestimated.
