Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

"No, no, no, no! No! That's not the case!"

"Let's go to the living room. I'll show you the song first. Oh, by the way..." As he said that, Nakamura Mine looked down at Kita Ikuyo who was still sleeping on the ground. After thinking for a while, he gently picked her up. After all, he felt that Kita Ikuyo would be sore all over when she woke up tomorrow morning because of the way she was sleeping on her side, kneeling on the ground.

But after wrapping her up, the soft and warm touch of the girl in his arms and the fragrance of shampoo made Nakamura Mine's heart ripples. After a moment of distraction, Nakamura Mine suppressed the strangeness in his heart and put Kita Ikuyo on the bed and gently covered her with a quilt, then called Goto Ichiri to leave the room.

After seeing the whole process, Goto Ichiri suddenly had a thought that it would have been better if she had fallen asleep just now.

"Afeng, what's the name of the new song?" After leaving the bedroom, Goto Ichiri asked Nakamura Feng.

"Gunqing, don't worry, it's a rather depressing song." Nakamura Mine knew very well how much Goto Ichiri avoided positive songs, so the song he picked out was more in line with the other person's personality.

"Well, the songs are all in the notebook, you can take a look first..."

Just as Nakamura Mine and Goto Ichiri were studying and recording a new song, Kita Ikuyo, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes after the two left and closed the door.

At this moment, she felt the warmth in the quilt but her face had already turned red. In fact, when Nakamura Mine and Goto Ichiri were talking, she was vaguely awake. In a daze, she seemed to hear Nakamura Mine say that there was a new original song or something. However, when Nakamura Mine picked her up, she was already completely awake. It was just that she was too shy in Nakamura Mine's arms at that time, so she didn't dare to make a sound.

She has many friends, including a few boys, but as far as she can remember, the only person she has had such close contact with the opposite sex is her father. Naturally, she cannot calm down at this moment.

(Nakamura-san’s arms and chest are so strong...)

Kita Yuyo's thoughts were in a mess, and she somehow thought of the perfect muscle lines on Nakamura Mine's body when he was at the beach. This inevitably made her heart beat even faster, and finally, she felt so embarrassed that she subconsciously covered her head with the quilt, but she soon remembered that this was the quilt used by Nakamura Mine, and then she rushed out again, but at this moment her face was already red enough to be comparable to the purity of her hair color.

In the living room, Nakamura Mine and Goto Ichiri tinkered with it until one in the morning before they finally recorded the desired effect. The subsequent post-production sound adjustment and editing was the job of Goto Ichiri alone.

the next day......

"Okay! Although I accidentally fell asleep yesterday, I'm going to cheer up today and perform a dissection on Goto-san!" In the morning, after sorting out her mood, Kita Ikuyo regained her former energy and was ready to reinterpret the existence of Goto Ichiri. As for why she only analyzed Goto Ichiri, it was because Nakamura Mine got up early in the morning and took the tram to the Nakano family to be a tutor. After all, it took him more than two hours to get there by tram.

(Anatomy...)

In Goto Ichiri's mind, she imagined Kita Ikuyo wearing a white coat and gloves, holding a scalpel in her hand, smiling at her as her limbs were tied to the operating table and saying in a gentle tone: "Goto-san, the anesthetic is over. It won't hurt you much. Please bear with it. It will be over soon..."

“No!!!” Goto Ichiri shrank his head and quickly moved away from Kita Ikuyo.

"Why?!" Kita Ikuyo, who had no idea what Goto Ichiri was thinking, looked at Goto Ichiri in confusion as he looked scared at her.

Chapter 233 Secret

"Teacher Nakamura, your school should be holding a school festival soon, right?" Nakano Azusa put down the guitar in his hand and asked casually. Sometimes when they got tired of practicing the piano, they would play other songs together during their breaks. Sometimes Nakano Azusa played the piano and Nakamura Mine played the guitar, and sometimes it was the other way around, like today.

Although Nakano Azusa refused at first because she felt that piano lessons should be focused on practicing, she found it interesting after trying it a few times, so it became one of their regular games during breaks.

However, because of this, Nakamura Mine realized that although Nakano Azusa had a high level of musical literacy due to family reasons, he was completely tone-deaf when it came to singing, just like he was before. It was clearly Nakamura Mine who forced Nakano Azusa to sing at the time, but when Nakano Azusa really opened his mouth, Nakamura Mine couldn't help laughing out loud, causing Nakano Azusa to no longer be willing to sing in front of Nakamura Mine, no matter how he threatened or tempted him.

"Well, what's wrong? Do you want to come to our school to play? Our class runs a fried noodle shop, so we can make an exception and treat you to a meal." Nakamura Mine tempted, but although this might be very effective on Kotobuki Tsumugi, Nakano Azusa didn't find it that attractive. She cared about something else.

"Ahem, um, Mr. Nakamura, you are from the light music club, right?" When Nakano Azusa saw that Nakamura Feng didn't understand what she meant, she hinted again. This time, Nakamura Feng understood what the other party wanted to know.

"Yes, our club has a performance. We'll be playing three original songs. Come and play if you're free."

Nakamura Mine had previously promised Nakano Azusa that he would take her to see the performance of the Ending Band, but in the end, the two parties' schedules didn't match up so they hadn't been able to fulfill the agreement. However, Nakano Azusa had always wanted to see what her talented piano teacher looked like on stage, and this school festival was of course the best opportunity. What's more, Sakuragaoka High School was originally her high school choice, and she was very interested in her future high school's clubs.

"Well, if you have time..."

"Hehe~ Although you look like you are completely uninterested, you actually want to come very much, right?" Nakamura Mine, who saw through Nakano Azusa's thoughts, said with a smirk.

"That's not the case!"

"Oh~really~?"

"...I, I just really want to go and take a look, what's wrong with that!?"

"Haha, no no, welcome, welcome. But if you come to watch the light music club's live, you are a member of our light music club!"

"There is no such rule!!"

On the other side, at Nakamura Mine's home.

"Please show me your collection of essays and photo albums from your elementary and middle school days, Goto-san~!" Kita Ikuyo asked expectantly and sincerely, but this hurt Goto Ichiri's sore spot.

"Gu! Graduation anthology..."

Goto Ichiri covered his heart with both hands and his pupils were dilated.

"Why did this sentence become a fatal blow?!"

"By the way, why don't we look for Nakamura-san's things first!" Seeing how shocked Goto Ichiri was, Kita Ikuyo decided to give him some time to prepare mentally.

"Huh? But..." After hearing what Kita Ikuyo said, Goto Ichiri returned to normal, but there was some hesitation on his face.

"But, but A-Feng doesn't seem to have the habit of keeping photos or collections. He didn't even want the class photo at graduation because he had to pay for it himself..."

"Um... OK, I think I understand why you two get along so well, Goto-san... But! But everyone always has some memories, right? Okay, let's find them!"

"But..." Goto Ichiri still felt that it was not good to rummage around without permission, but at this time Kita Ikuyo's eyes were full of anticipation of exploring the secrets of Nakamura Minami. It was obvious that even if Goto Ichiri wanted to stop him, he was completely powerless.

Kita Ikuyo first looked under the pillow and under the bed, but naturally found nothing, so she rummaged through the small bookshelf next to her. It looked more like she was looking for pornographic books in a boy's home rather than looking for memories of Nakamura Minoru. Unfortunately, Nakamura Minoru really didn't have this habit. It wasn't that he had no interest at all. If someone was kind enough to lend it to him, he could take a look at it with the purpose of criticism, but it was impossible for him to buy it with his own money!

In the end, Kita Ikuyo still put her claws on the drawer of the low cabinet at the head of the bed. After opening the drawer, she saw the small box with the talisman paper on it.

"Found it!"

Holding the strange-looking box in her hand, Kita Ikuyo didn't show any sign of fear. If she was alone at night, she might feel a little scared, but it was broad daylight and there were two of them, so naturally she wouldn't feel scared. However, if these two people were Nakamura Mine and Akiyama Mio, it would be a different story. The fear would probably be doubled.

"But this..." Goto Ichiri looked at the yellow talisman paper stuck on the box and felt that it seemed familiar. It was exactly the same talisman paper her mother used to exorcise ghosts for her.

"That's why the things inside are more important!" Kita Ikuyo said with shining eyes, but she actually felt that it was not good to look at other people's secrets like this. In fact, she was just looking for it to see if Nakamura Minato had hidden some books that boys would read as her friends said, but she didn't expect to find such things, but instead it seemed that it was really Nakamura Minato's secret things.

If there wasn't that talisman paper on the box, Kita Ikuyo might not have been so curious, but after it was affixed, it made people want to find out more.

"Ahem~ If I saw something I shouldn't have seen, I will apologize to Nakamura-san later!" Knowing that if she didn't open it now, her curiosity would never subside, Kita Ikuyo finally decided to find out what was going on. At this time, even Goto Ichiri, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but feel curious.

Kita Ikuyo carefully peeled off half of the talisman paper, then slowly opened the lid. The heartbeats of both of them kept accelerating because of nervousness. Finally, the whole picture inside the box came into their sight.

Chapter 234: Photos, Picks, and Notes

"Huh? What are these?"

Looking at the objects in the box, Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri had different focuses. Goto Ichiri noticed the family photo of Nakamura Minoru when he was a child. She only knew that Nakamura Minoru's family died in an accident, but this was the first time she saw what Nakamura Minoru's family looked like. Kita Ikuyo's eyes stayed on the blue pick. She always felt that the style of this thing was familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

"The people in this photo are Nakamura's family, right? Nakamura's mother is so beautiful, and her sister is so cute!" Kita Ikuyo's attention quickly shifted to the more eye-catching photos.

"Hmm... In the photo, Afeng's sister looks about the same age as Erli..."

Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo looked at the happy family in the photo, but they couldn't help feeling complicated, because they knew very well that the people in the photo except Nakamura Minoru were no longer alive, and Nakamura Minoru had lived alone until now, and was still very outstanding. If it were them, they would not be able to imagine what they would be like now.

"Nakamura-san is such a strong person..."

"Um......"

"There is another note here." After putting down the photo with a heavy heart, Goto Ichiri looked at the last piece of note paper left in the box.

"Do you want to see it?" Goto Ichiri asked Kita Ikuyo beside him a little nervously.

"It's too late to back down now. Besides, there might be something very important written by Nakamura-san!"

With a nervous attitude, the two slowly opened the folded note paper.

[I hate bands!!! Hong Xia will never be interested in that kind of thing in her life!!!]

When they saw the first half of the note, they wanted to laugh, thinking that Nakamura Mine also had such a period. However, after seeing the name of Ijichi Kouka, their brains were a little dazed for a moment. After reading it all, they looked at each other tacitly, and then looked at the note again with doubt in their eyes, but it turned out that their eyesight was relatively acceptable.

"Goto-san and Nakamura-san have only met Nijigasaki-senpai in the last year, right? They definitely didn't know each other before that, right?" Kita Ikuyo asked uncertainly.

"Yes...it should be like this...but..." Goto Ichiri's brain was a little confused at this time.

"But judging from the handwriting and tone on this paper, if it was really written by Senior Hongxia, then it must have been written when he was very young, right?" Kita Ikuyo analyzed seriously while looking at the somewhat crooked handwriting on the paper.

"..."

"..."

Faced with a problem that they couldn't figure out, both of them fell into silence for a short time, but Kita Ikuyo was the first to make a guess.

"Could it be that Nakamura-san and Nijika-senpai are playing some kind of punishment game? Or is it that he and Ryo-senpai are planning to play a prank on Nijika-senpai? Look, isn't this note still very new? It doesn't look like it's been there for years."

"......But...if that's the case, would Afeng really put it together with this kind of photo?" Goto Ichiri said doubtfully. After all, although she didn't know what kind of story was behind the pick, the photo must have a special status in Nakamura Feng's heart. So since it can be put together with it, it proves that the other two things also have extraordinary meaning to Nakamura Feng.

"That's true... Then! Could it be that Senior Nijima and Classmate Nakamura are actually childhood sweethearts who haven't seen each other for many years? But they have been secretly hiding their relationship from everyone!? " Kita Ikuyo quickly came up with another bold guess.

"Afeng seems to have lived nearby since he was a child, and Hongxia grew up in Shimokitazawa..." Goto Ichiri's implication was obvious. Nakamura Feng and Ijichi Hongxia lived so far away from each other since they were young, it was probably difficult for them to have the opportunity to come into contact, let alone be childhood sweethearts who would exchange notes.

"Then why..." Goto Ichiri denied both of his guesses, and Kita Ikuyo couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation.

"Ahhh! I can't figure it out! How about I wait until tomorrow and ask Senior Hongxia or Manager Xingge directly!" Kita Ikuyo, who still couldn't figure it out, finally decided to give up struggling. Anyway, it would be faster to ask the person in question directly.

"Um......"

"For now, let me go to Goto-san's house and observe your memories!"

"Gu Ai!!~~" Goto Ichiri fell to the ground in response.

"Again?!!"

In Goto Ichiri's room, Kita Ikuyo looked at Goto Ichiri who was groping in the closet with a gloomy and desperate look on his face, and felt like she had done something extremely evil.

“It’s… it’s okay…?”

"No... Isn't it common for introverts to suddenly muster up the courage to do something interesting one day, but end up messing up..."

"My graduation collection is like this..." Goto Ichiri took out a dusty booklet and handed it to Kita Ikuyo. When the latter opened it, she saw an extraordinary speech.

[My future dream is to extinguish all the current people. When I become the Prime Minister, I will first abolish Christmas, Valentine's Day and Halloween.]

"Everyone... everyone is like this when they are young and energetic!!" Kita Ikuyo tried her best to encourage Goto Ichiri, who was obviously deeply traumatized by this.

"Afterwards, Afeng told me that the reason for the silence was that everyone felt that if it were me, what was written on it might be serious..."

"But I just want to let everyone know that I'm actually a very interesting person before graduation..."

(Though it would be great if this could be realized...) Goto Ichiri added silently in his mind.

(Why don’t you use this courage in interacting with others??) Kita Yuyo complained helplessly in her heart, but she really couldn’t continue with this topic, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Then show me the photo album next."

Chapter 235 Inquiry

"Ah...how come there are only individual photos and group photos..."

(Looking at these photos, I know what kind of high school life she had without asking...)

"Hey, isn't there a different one, huh? This is Feng?" Among the few personal photos and class photos, Kita Ikuyo easily saw a photo of two people. The two people in the photo were indeed the familiar Nakamura Feng and Goto Ichiri. However, although Goto Ichiri was making the yeah~ gesture with his hands in the photo, his face was full of fear as if he was being coerced.

"Um... Goto-san, what was your relationship with Nakamura-san like in junior high school..."

(I feel like I have seen something incredible again...)

"This! This is because Afeng suddenly said that he wanted to take a photo, but I was not mentally prepared yet, but, but this is also a masterpiece that took an hour to complete..." Goto Ichiri looked at the photo she and Nakamura Feng took on the table in the corner of the corridor with some nostalgia. She still remembered that her proposal to treat this photo as her heirloom was rejected by Nakamura Feng on the spot, but she still printed out several copies and kept them well.

"Really...it took me an hour..." Although Kita Ikuyo also had the experience of taking a photo for a long time before she was satisfied with it, the photo in her hand did not look like a delicate one. Instead, because of Goto Ichiri's horrified expression, the photo became somewhat like evidence of Nakamura Mine's crime.

(Ah, but there is something written in the message box! It’s great that it’s not blank...)

After Kita Ikuyo saw the page with the message board, she felt more relieved when she saw the words on it for the first time. She felt that after all, her classmates were willing to leave something for Goto Ichiri. But when she really looked at the content carefully, she was stunned for the umpteenth time today.

[Ahhh]

【(Scribble)】

"What are these?" Kita Ikuyo asked a soul-searching question.

"Eh...isn't that place used for writing memos?" Goto Ichiri looked at Kita Ikuyo who was staring at her blankly. She seemed to understand in her heart that she seemed to have done something stupid, but she couldn't think of the answer.

"Actually..."

After Kita Ikudai told Goto Ichiri the truth that the message board was actually a place for classmates to leave farewell and blessing messages to each other, Goto Ichiri became distraught and crawled into the closet and died.

Therefore, knowing that Goto Ichiri would not wake up for a while, Kita Ikuyo decided to focus her investigation on Goto Ichiri's family. The first person she found was Goto Ichiri's mother, Goto Michiyo.

"You are doing some interesting things, just ask!" Goto Michiyo said with anticipation like a girl.

"Well, Auntie, what was Goto-san like when he was little? Is he very different from now?"

"Hmm... this child has been shy and timid since he was young." Goto Michiyo said while holding her chin and recalling:
