It was supposed to be a love simulation, so why are they also players?

You really do trust him.

“Will it…?”

Staring at the text on the simulation panel, Toyokawa Shoko fell into deep thought.

This is actually a kind of dependence.

Have I turned back into the soft and sweet Toyokawa Shoko?

Maybe, maybe not.

Xia Mu is different from others.

She is well aware of this.

Know better than anyone else.

He would not make empty promises casually. Once he promised something, Xia Mu would do his best to do it.

It is precisely because of this that Toyokawa Shoko gradually recognized Xia Mu, and thus her favorability towards him increased little by little.

You declined Yutenji Ruomai's invitation to the band's celebration party and left with Xia Mu.

"Yutenji... the person who had problems during the curtain call was actually her, right?"

The guy in this band who seems to have the biggest problem.

If Xia Mu hadn't improvised to remedy the situation, Toyokawa Shoko was worried that Yutenji's "mistake" would affect their performance.

Let me think about it again.

Unless absolutely necessary, Shoko Toyokawa tries not to optimize any member of the band.

After all, I invited them in one by one.

It's impossible to just cut it directly.

[At the tram station, you and Xia Mu parted ways, looking forward to meeting again the next day.]

Tomorrow is the day you and Xiaomu will practice guitar with Xiamu.

[The next day.]

[Xia Mu is not in the rehearsal room.]

The headman held his guitar, said nothing, lowered his head, and looked troubled.

"Where's Xia Mu?"

Where did her big Xia Mu go?

As a living person, it is impossible for you to encounter sudden changes.

"Xiao Mu, did Xia Mu come by today?" you asked Ruo Ye Mu first, but she just shook her head.

You sent Xia Mu messages, one after another, but seeing no response, you had no choice but to call him. It was still the same as before.

[You, worried about him, come to Xia Mu's apartment and run into Nagasaki Suyo, who is also looking for Xia Mu. ]

[They knocked on the door in unison, but Xia Mu was clearly not at home.]

[I went to the Angel Cafe to ask, but the manager was also confused. He said he hadn't seen Xia Mu today, nor had he seen the other blonde working girl.]

【Xia Mu is missing.】

"I'm going to Shimokitazawa Mental Hospital!" Nagasaki Suyo mentioned a place name, as if she had thought of something.

"Mental hospital? Come to think of it, I remember Xia Mu said he was from a mental hospital... I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true..."

The truth was a bit shocking, but she didn't mind.

[In order to find Xia Mu, you and Nagasaki Motoyo travel to Shimokitazawa Mental Hospital. From Chief Physician Tadokoro, you learn that Xia Mu has gone to fight against a criminal organization from another world.]

"It's a bit ridiculous..."

As expected, except for Xia Mu, no one in the mental hospital seems normal.

Shoko Toyokawa did not take Director Tansho's words seriously.

Nagasaki Motoyo, determined to uncover any clues, continues her investigation along this path, transforming into the renowned detective Motoyo!

"Su Shi is also..."

She didn't want to comment on her friend.

What is this mysterious thing called Detective Su Shi?

The girl with blue hair and a side ponytail could understand her anxious mood of trying all kinds of treatments.

But Toyokawa Shoko can't become like this.

Xia Mu, she must find him.

You gain nothing.

[And if Ye Mu secretly finds you and tells you that Xia Mu is actually trapped in another world.]

"It's bad, Xiao Mu is not right either."

Become the same as Su Shi.

[One month, two months, three months...]

Time passed by little by little, and you couldn't even find any trace of Xia Mu.

The Ave Mujica project will continue.

【You are waiting for Xia Mu's return. 】

[In the days without Xia Mu, you felt lonely and returned to your lost self.]

"Xia Mu, where did he go? Why did he disappear out of nowhere?"

I hope it's not an accident.

【One year later.】

【ave mujica】is still a popular band, competing with bands like Thornless, Diamond Star, Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and Shimokitazawa Very Energetic (yes, the same group from the mental hospital). Meanwhile, the band End, which had just started to make a name for itself a year ago, ended prematurely due to the disappearance of its bassist. The lead singer, guitarist, and drummer had wanted to continue... but the disappearance of the bassist was undoubtedly a major blow.

The disappearance of the consonant guitarist "Blade" from Ave Mujica remains a mystery.

"Did the bassist who ended the band and Xia Mu both disappear a year ago?"

Shoko Toyokawa felt that she seemed to have grasped some key point.

[Report! The Mu leader has found Xia Mu's whereabouts!]

Come on! Serve it up quickly!

Toyokawa Shoko was overjoyed.

"Xia Mu, he's at my house..." The situation was special. If Ye Muxian brought Xia Mu, who had been missing for a year, back to her house and treated him to delicious food and drinks, she would be the first to do so.

"?"

【After a year, you met the boy again. 】

"Where have you been? Xia Mu, I've been looking for you for a whole year, why can't I find you?" You burst into tears, and the moment you saw Xia Mu, you hugged him tightly, his face still dazed.

He disappeared without a trace when you needed him most.

【Reunion after a long separation.】

【There is only a thin line between us and the edge of collapse. 】

"I, I wouldn't do that..."

Based on a simple text description, Toyokawa Shoko herself would not be so excited.

She is very strong!

But that year Xia Mu disappeared inexplicably.

It’s really worrying!

P.S.: I'm thinking about whether to include a basement scene. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts.

①Write, Xiangzi attacks!

②Write, Su Shi attacks!

③Don’t write.

The famous detective Soyo from before has been replicated here again; it's sure to be very useful.

Today I’m recommending a book from a friend in my group.

Title: Crossover Anime, Akizuki Kozo Really Doesn't Want to Be a Yellow-Haired Guy

Synopsis: I, Akizuki Kozo, absolutely do not want to be a "Yellow Hat" (a derogatory term for a cuckolded man). But the gods played a cruel joke on me, bestowing upon me this "Yellow Hat System." Only by completing the tasks assigned by the system can I possibly go home and reunite with my family. What? Only by cheating on someone can I save the world? This...

Ding~ Complete the task and get the Kabuto belt as reward; Ding~ Complete the task and get the Mangekyō Sharingan as reward...

Hikigaya, I'm sorry...

Sakuta, I'm sorry...

Alan, I'm sorry...

Naruto, I'm sorry...

Lloyd, I'm sorry...

I really don't want to hurt anyone, I just want to go home (亚撒西脸.jpg).

Chapter 86 Are you willing to give up your bond with Xia Mu?

Said he cared.

In fact, Toyokawa Shoko's real thoughts are -

unacceptable.

Don't disappear from her like this!

What a terrible feeling...

Shoko Toyokawa didn't want to go through that a second time.

Whether it is simulation or reality.

No one wants a cherished friend to disappear from their side inexplicably and never be seen again.

We just agreed to see each other tomorrow the day before.

As a result, the next day, he disappeared without a trace and no matter how hard we searched for him, we couldn't find him.

Awful.

Fortunately, Xiao Mu found Xia Mu.

Thank goodness.

"Actually, I was trapped in another world..." Xia Mu tells you about his battles against the criminal gangs in another world as part of the Kaito Sentai.

[Entering the fray personally, the final battle ended with the boss's defeat and the thieves' team being trapped, until today, when the dead end was finally broken.]

"You're still not willing to tell me the truth at this point? I'm so worried about him..."

Too outrageous.

In the year that Xia Mu disappeared, there were indeed many missing people who suddenly returned.

However, she found it hard to believe that this was the reason why Xia Mu had disappeared for nearly a year.

"Xia Mu, stop joking—" You were about to say something, but you saw Xia Mu pull out a fancy pistol from behind and insert a red airplane mold into it.

【"Quick steal change!"】

[Xia Mu, he really transformed into the legendary thief Lupin Red.]

what?

Are you the real thing?

"It turns out that everything Xia Mu said was true."
