Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

After all, what is giving Nakamura Mine a headache right now is not Goto Ichiri who is beautifying her dream self. He understands this guy. Although her thinking is unconventional, she never dares to bring it into reality. As for things like what happened in the dream is actually something that happened in real life, Goto Ichiri might fantasize and giggle, but she would not take it seriously.

But obviously the other simulation object is not so easy to deal with.

Now thinking back, what Yamada Ryo emphasized to himself before, such as "playing on the street", was actually a test of his attitude. That guy must have begun to doubt. Most people would certainly not really think that dreams are real, but Yamada Ryo is obviously not an ordinary person. Moreover, judging from Goto Ichiri's tone, it seems that the content of the dream is so real that it is unbelievable.

Nakamura Mine felt a headache when he thought of the pick lying under his pillow.

He made a bold assumption. If Yamada Ryo gave her the pick at the end of the simulation, and now she has lost the pick...

Nakamura Mine was sure that Yamada Ryo's test would not end so easily.

Chapter 164 Promotional Photos

Goto Ichiri has been talking all the way, and Nakamura Mine has been thinking all the way. He is now considering whether to come clean and tell Yamada Ryo that, yes, things are just as you thought, or even more mysterious than you thought.

But in that case, I would have to tell the other party about the system, but this kind of thing is hard to explain, and in the end I'm afraid I'll be regarded as an overly immature person or a mentally ill patient. Well, it seems that Yamada Ryo's family runs a hospital, so it would be interesting if he really found a psychologist for himself in the future.

Therefore, Nakamura Mine rejected the option of being an honest person from the very beginning.

The remaining solution that Nakamura Mine could think of was to make up a superpower for himself to fool the other party, but if Yamada Ryo asked him to show it, he would be exposed on the spot, so this was not an option either.

Another option is to refuse to admit it and play dumb. In short, she wants to use her superb acting skills to completely defeat Yamada Ryo's suspicion and make the other party believe that she really just had a more realistic dream and that she just lost the pick herself.

Obviously, Nakamura Mine finally chose the last solution. In fact, the main reason was that he really didn't want the other party to know that he had really done those things. Apart from anything else, the fact that he started to lie that Yamada Ryo was his girlfriend was shameful enough.

I was able to say it at the time because I thought it was a simulation so it didn't matter, but this kind of thing wouldn't work in real life, I would definitely be laughed at for a long time.

That night, after having her heart's content, Goto Ichiri returned home, took a shower, and lay on the bed feeling relaxed. She found that the mere fact that Nakamura Mine had returned to her life was enough to make her happy.

On the second day, Nakamura Mine and Goto Ichiri arrived at the Shimokitazawa station, where Ijichi Koka and the other two had been waiting for them.

"Good morning, everyone." Nakamura Mine, who was leading Goto Ichiri, greeted them perfunctorily. His somewhat distracted eyes proved that he didn't seem to be in high spirits. There was nothing he could do about it. After all, he didn't sleep well last night because he was worried about Yamada Ryo. This morning, he went out early with Goto Ichiri because of the message sent by Ijichi Kouka yesterday.

"Good morning, but why do you look so listless?" Ijichi Hongxia also greeted, and then looked at Nakamura Mine with some concern, who walked so lightly.

"Is he sick?" Kita Ikuyo asked with the same concern.

"Don't force yourself to come." Although she said this, Yamada Ryo looked thoughtful. Seeing her like this, Nakamura Mine always felt a little guilty.

"No, it's just that yesterday... I stayed up late playing games." Nakamura Mine made up an excuse, but no matter what, at his age, staying up late playing games during the holidays should be a normal thing, right?

"Hey, you have to be moderate when playing games." Ichichi Hongxia, a senior and band leader, taught.

"Yes." Nakamura Minato answered honestly, but Goto Ichiri on the side glanced at Nakamura Minato secretly. She knew that Nakamura Minato was actually the type who didn't play games at all, and it could even be said that he had hardly any contact with them. So she didn't believe a word of what Nakamura Minato said just now, but she didn't intend to expose him.

"What game is it?" Kita Yuyo asked curiously. As a modern person, she needs to know all the popular things at all times, even if they are games she is not very interested in. This way, she can have a common language with her friends who like to play games.

"Forehead......"

Honestly speaking, this question really stumped Nakamura Mine, because with his limited knowledge of the gaming industry, he basically couldn't name any popular games.

"Can-candy?"

(Staying up late to play Candy Crush?)

(Why the questioning tone?)

(Definitely lying.)

"Ahem, Nijixia, it's about time you tell me why you asked us to come out?" Unable to bear the three pretty faces in front of him that were filled with distrust, Nakamura Mine quickly changed the subject, while Goto Ichiri showed a "wise" expression as if he had seen through everything.

"Hmm~ Well, forget it. Actually, the purpose of today is to take promotional photos." Ijichi Hongxia stared at Nakamura Mine with cat-like eyes for a few seconds, but finally let go of this teammate who couldn't tell which words were true and which were false. Then she made a camera shape with her hand in front of her eyes and told everyone the purpose of today.

"Promotional photos?" Goto Ichiri suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Well, after all, you see, whether it's online or in the store, any promotion requires this, right? Our band has been established for several months, but when you think about it, not only have we never been on stage, but we don't even have a proper group photo." As she spoke, Ijichi Hongxia herself found it unbelievable.

"For that kind of thing, why don't you just take pictures in Kita's album? She's already taken a lot of pictures without my permission, right?" Nakamura Mine said lazily. In fact, although he thought it was fun and took the initiative to take a picture with Goto Ichiri, he personally didn't like taking pictures very much. Even when Kita Ikuyo was secretly taking pictures, he would always subconsciously cover his face.

"How can they be the same?! Besides, Nakamura-san, you always dodge every time I take a photo, right?" Before Ijichi Kouka could say anything, Kita Ikuyo couldn't help but speak first, and her words showed her dissatisfaction with Nakamura Mine avoiding her camera.

"What Kita-chan said is right, so you can't hide this time, Feng." Ichichi Hongxia agreed with what Kita Ikuyo said. Although she also saw that Nakamura Feng was reluctant to be photographed, the publicity photos were something that had to be taken anyway.

"Um..." Goto Ichiri raised his hand weakly and asked.

"Does that mean we have to take the promotional photos outdoors?" Just thinking about the glances that passers-by would cast at him from time to time while he was taking the photos, Goto Ichiri's toes curled up inside his sneakers.

"Indoor photo studios are too expensive so that's not possible." Ijichi Hongxia ruthlessly extinguished Goto Ichiri's last bit of delusion. After all, their band is currently in a state of completely zero income, so they naturally can't afford to go to high-end places like photo studios.

The hand that Goto Ichiri stretched out to Ijichi Kouka, which was suspended in the air, finally fell down, as if he had accepted his fate.

Chapter 165 Encounter

"Well~ If it really doesn't work we can just shoot inside the stars, but it turns out that only shooting outdoors can better reflect the style of the band and the characteristics of the members. After all, this is also a very important thing." Ijichi Hongxia said seriously.

"Then we have to shoot it seriously!" Kita Ikuyo said she understood.

"Exactly!"

In this way, no matter how reluctant Nakamura Mine was, he was still dragged to take photos in many places, such as remote stairways, behind barbed wire, in front of plants, and in parks. Basically, all the photo-taking locations that can be thought of were taken.

In the middle, Nakamura Mine and Goto Ichiri stood stupidly for half an hour at a roadside store selling cheap clothes, waiting for the other three to finish with despair on their faces.

"By the way, Ichiri, don't you want to go and take a look?" Nakamura Mine was so bored that he asked Goto Ichiri, who had almost the same expression as him.

"Well, because those are not my favorite styles." Goto Ichiri answered honestly. She really was the type of person who was not interested in those kind of light and fluttery clothes at all.

"I see." Having gotten the expected answer, Nakamura Mine thought he wouldn't find it strange, but he still took a look at Goto Ichiri's pink sportswear. In fact, he had already noticed that Goto Ichiri's aesthetic was too strange in all aspects.

"Well...what do you think of this?" Nakamura Mine took off an octopus-shaped hat from a mannequin with a joking attitude. There were small balls of different colors on each tentacle, and the balls kept swinging up and down and left and right on the tentacles. It is not difficult to imagine how funny a person would look after wearing this abstract hat.

"..."

[Sure enough, no matter how unusual Ichiri's aesthetics are, this is still unacceptable? 】

"I want it!" Goto Ichiri's eyes suddenly lit up with a light of desire.

"Haha, I'm just kidding. What are you talking about? Hmm? What did you say?" Nakamura Mine was about to put the strange hat back, but was stunned by Goto Ichiri's words. Goto Ichiri took the hat directly and went to pay the bill in high spirits, muttering something: "Hehe, this will definitely be useful at the banquet."

Ten minutes later, the group of people who were heading out again to look for a filming location split into two groups due to the deliberate actions of the three girls.

Well, Nakamura Mine could understand the three people not far away who wanted to keep a distance from him. To be honest, he couldn't stand the gazes, whispers and giggles of the passers-by around him.

"Well, Ichiri, although I understand your feelings for buying a hat you like, but... you don't have to wear it now, right?"

"Ah, but isn't it also troublesome to hold it with your hands?"

"I'll hold it for you!"

"Huh? But?" Goto Ichiri didn't like to trouble others.

"I'll hold it for you!!!"

"Oh fine."

Faced with Nakamura Mine's tough attitude, Goto Ichiri had no choice but to hand over his new equipment to the other party reluctantly.

"Then, I'll leave mine to you as well." Yamada Ryo ran back at some point as if he had used teleportation, and handed the shopping bag in his hand to Nakamura Mine in a very natural manner. Nakamura Mine didn't react at all and took it subconsciously.

"Ok?"

"Nijiga, Kita, Feng said he could help us get our stuff."

"Oh, you are indeed a man."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Nakamura-san."

"..." Nakamura Mine glared at Yamada Ryo who seemed addicted to tricking him, but he did not refuse. After all, this little burden was nothing to him. But it was okay for Ryo, but Kita and Nijixia were so rude. He didn't know whether he should feel that they were really familiar with each other now or miss them in the past.

Several people set out on the road of filming again.

"Ah, how about this place? It's pretty good, with a lot of posters. Doesn't it really reflect the style of Shimokitazawa?" Kita Ikuyo trotted to a closed-down store that was covered with old posters. At the same time, a petite girl with twin ponytails who was standing there also looked over curiously.

The girl's eyes met Nakamura Mine's at the first moment, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

"That was the record store I used to visit frequently not long ago." Yamada Ryo said calmly while looking at the dilapidated store. Although he did not have any expression, his words made people feel somewhat sad.

"Record stores and performance halls are closing one after another." Ijichi Hongxia said with emotion, putting his hands behind his head.

“Stores with history are constantly disappearing.” Yamada Ryo continued, looking at the store, her eyes inadvertently glancing at a familiar poster on the wall, which was a promotional photo of her former band.

"Um... I'm so sorry..." Kita Ikuyo seemed to feel that she had caused Yamada Ryo to feel sad, so she apologized quickly in a panic.

"But Ryo, you were happy about the newly opened bookstore before." Seeing Kita Ikuyo's self-blaming look, Ijichi Kouka also brought up another topic.

"Yeah, I like coffee and books." Yamada Ryo replied without hesitation.

"Kitaro, don't always be fooled by Ryo's words. After all, 90% of what this guy says are just sudden thoughts." Ijichi Hongxia kindly reminded.

"But if I were to say so, I would rather be played around by my senior!" Kita Ikuyo said with a little excitement. What she said was really powerful. Even Ijichi Kouka took a half step back with a frown on her face.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Could this be the store you often came to before?" Nakamura Mine suddenly spoke to the girl next to Kita Ikuyo, attracting everyone's attention.

"Yes, I haven't been here for a while. I didn't expect it to be closed. I was surprised to meet the teacher here, and..." Looking at the beautiful girls with different looks, Nakano Azusa's eyes were full of surprise. Her first reaction was that her teacher was actually a playboy and was dating three girls now? But after thinking about it for a while, she felt that it was unlikely.

"They are all members of my band. I should have told you that, right?"

Chapter 166 Fang Wen Jumps

"Ah, hello, seniors." Nakano Azusa bowed politely in the direction of Ijichi Kouka and the others, and then did not forget to bow to Kita Ikuyo beside her.

"Feng, who is he?" Yamada Ryo asked Nakamura Feng. She looked at Nakano Azusa. Although he was very cute, her initial judgment was that he should be an elementary school student or a first-year junior high school student. Well, it was not a big problem.

"She is the student who found a part-time tutor as I told you about. Her name is Nakano Azusa." Nakamura Mine had nothing to hide and spoke honestly.

"Well, actually, when I heard her call you teacher, I thought it should be like that," Ijichi Hongxia looked as if she expected it.

"I'm Ijichi Hinikaka, the leader of the band. The one with blue hair and no expression over here is Yamada Ryo. She's usually like this, but she doesn't have anything against you. She's the bassist of our band. The pretty sister next to you who's dressed fashionably is our lead guitarist Kita... um, anyway, you can just call her Kita. And the one over here is our lead guitarist, eh? Where's Pochi-chan?"

When Goto Ichiri was introduced, Ijichi Hongxia finally realized that there seemed to be one person missing in the team, but soon a hand appeared from behind and patted her on the shoulder, which scared her.

"What? It's Pochi. Where did you go just now?"

"Well...well, there's a wall over there that probably looks pretty good." As he spoke, Goto Ichiri tried to make the shape of a wall with his hands.

"Ohhh~ Well done!"

......

"Well, I'm going to take pictures." Nakano Azusa said while holding Ijichi Kouka's mobile phone. Although there was a tripod for posing, it would be great if someone could help. So Nakano Azusa was rudely pulled over by Nakamura Mine to do the hard labor.

Click~

"Well, the personalities of the band members are all reflected, but it feels like there's not much of a band feel..." Ijichi Hinikaka commented while looking at the photo.

In the photo, starting from the far left is Kita Ikuyo with a perfect smile, followed by Yamada Ryo with a look of indifference and contempt, and Ijichi Kouka with her hand on Yamada Ryo's shoulder and one eye closed, looking very playful. After that, it happened that her own white-necked bird was fighting with other birds, so her entire sight was on Nakamura Peak in the sky. Finally, there is Goto Ichiri with his head down and half of his body behind Nakamura Peak, like a ghost behind him.

"It's better to say that the seniors are too individualistic and there is no sense of unity." Nakano Azusa also gave his own fair evaluation, and at the same time felt a little envious in his heart.

(Is this what a high school student is like? Will I be able to become like this by next year?)

Nakano Azusa stood on tiptoe unconsciously and compared her height with a few others with her eyes.

"Hmm...it turns out that there isn't enough of a band element."

"Imitate me. I am the role model of the band member." Yamada Ryo volunteered.

"I'm really curious about where your confidence comes from." Yidi Zhihongxia said speechlessly.

"But as long as we listen to our seniors, we will never go wrong, right, Goto-san, Nakamura-san." Kita Ikuyo waited expectantly for the other two's response.

"Oh, yes." Unable to deny it, Goto Ichiri chose to obey without even a second's hesitation.

"Well, it doesn't matter if we just try it out." Nakamura Mine also expressed no objection.

"There are three guys who agree without a brain. Well, okay, can I trouble you for a while longer?" Ijichi Hongxia said helplessly to Nakano Azusa.

"Yeah, of course."

"..."

After the filming and seeing the finished product, everyone fell silent.

"It feels like we're keeping vigil," Ijichi Hongxia gave her own evaluation.

"Or maybe it's some young evil gang." Nakamura Mine couldn't bear to watch it either.

"Yeah..." Kita Ikuyo, who blindly agreed with Yamada Ryo, was unable to say anything to refute.

"Hmm... I can't think of any good ideas." Ijichi Hongxia was in a dilemma.

"Then why don't we seniors try taking some photos of jumping? We can see similar photos in many bands or dance troupes recently." Nakano Azusa tried to give her opinion.
