My love simulation with them

[Although this is a good thing, you don't want to end the band's increasing popularity and bring psychological pressure to her already delicate personality. 】

[She stood next to you, listening quietly to you whispering about the recent ending of the band. When you mentioned that you were worried that she would be under psychological pressure, she, who was always timid, took the initiative to hold your hand. 】

The street lights in the park are scattered, leaving light and shadow on the ground.

There is a rustling sound when stepping on the road.

Goto Ichiri turned his head and looked at the young man walking beside him.

After entering college, the other party's height is a bit taller than in high school, and he looks much more mature.

How nice, she thought to herself.

Goto Ichiri, who didn't dare to look up at him, lowered his head again and secretly looked at his shadow on the ground.

Her social phobia had long since improved and eased after many performances with the closing band, but for some reason, she was always unable to hold her head up when facing him.

But being by his side is enough.

Goto Ichiri followed Nango Toki obediently, listening to him talk about the recent situation of the band.

Hongxia's performance has improved again, Ryo has nothing to do and asks him for funds for musical instruments, and Ikudai occasionally brings her friends into the backstage of the practice room...

The steps stopped.

"The band's popularity has increased rapidly recently, so Yili, I have been worried that you may feel that the pressure is too much."

Nanxiang Shi spoke thoughtfully.

Yes.

Nanxiang has been worried.

Because Goto Ichiri has always been a girl with a very delicate personality and emotions, and is prone to random thoughts.

Is it too much pressure for her to feel that her bandmates are moving forward around her?

She didn't speak next to her.

Nanxiang Shigang, who had been staring at the neon scenery of the park, was about to continue speaking.

But the next moment, his palm was held.

Nanxiang turned his head subconsciously.

Goto Kazuri was looking up at him.

There were other inexplicable colors flashing in her eyes, which made Nanxiang feel a little panicked.

I saw Nanxiang's embarrassment.

She had always lowered her head and looked timid, but she secretly smiled under the cover of her too-long bangs.

"It's not just Hongxia-chan and the others, I must have made progress too, Toki."

When she asked Nanxiang in a low voice, her fair and pink palms did not let go.

"...Um."

Nanxiang turned his head, responded, and held her hand tightly.

She in autumn, in the park, under the neon lights.

Incomparably beautiful.

[After this day passed, Goto Ichiri spent significantly more time with you. The other members of the closing band obviously noticed this as well. 】

[They have applied for a short vacation from you. 】

[That day, Yamada Ryo, who usually didn’t drink much, drank a lot with Hiroi Kiuri in the izakaya. 】

[That day, Yiji Xingge complained to you that my sister had recently watched a tear-jerking movie and she threw herself into her arms and sobbed every day. 】

[That day, Kita Ikuyo updated his SNS information more frequently. They were all photos of him going to a couple’s date place alone. 】

[When the vacation was over, they returned to the band and picked up the instruments again. For some reason, they practiced even more seriously than before. 】

[I don’t know if it’s your imagination, but you always feel that sometimes they stay with you intentionally and only leave after a long time. 】

[The days will continue to go on. Under your day-to-day operations, the influence of independent bands and bands is becoming more and more important day by day. Under such circumstances, several famous Japanese record companies finally couldn't hold back. 】

[They offer you favorable conditions such as signing a contract to join and ensuring that resources will be poured into you. 】

[Among the many contracts with favorable terms, you first ensured the end of the band's independent band component, reaching an agreement with one of the reliable record companies. 】

[Half a year later, the band's album "Ending バンド" was officially released. Under the promotional offensive of the record company and you for the past six months, the first version of the record was released with lightning speed! 】

[At the end, the band really broke out of Shimokitazawa and became famous all over Japan! They have gained a large number of loyal fans! 】

[But they only remember the members of the band that ended. No one knows you. Compared with their popularity occupying the mastheads of fashionable music magazines, they only give you a meager one-line comment. 】

[You have never thought about being remembered by others. Just standing behind the stage curtain and watching them enjoy the applause of fans in front of the stage, you are satisfied. 】

[But unlike you who doesn’t care, Ichichi Hongka, who has always been kind to others, vented her dissatisfaction to the editor-in-chief of a music magazine in public for the first time. Yamada Ryo, Goto Kazuri, and Kita Ikuyo also publicly stated that they would never Will accept any kind of interview with this music magazine. 】

[The straightforward declaration and straightforward attitude expression have not reduced the number of fans of the band. On the contrary, more people feel that the band that dares to speak their hearts to the media is very charming. 】

[At the end of the season, the band's record sales hit a new high. 】

[The Ending Band may have the tendency to become a new national band. After discovering this, major music media began to scramble to dig up the story behind the Ending Band. 】

[The 'Stars' Performance Hall has gained enough attention because it is the place where the band ended its career, attracting many well-known rock bands to perform there. Producers from many record companies also occasionally go to the 'Stars' Performance Hall Discover band seeds. 】

[Similarly, your deeds have gradually been exposed by the media, and the story that you once ranked first in the country's deviation value began to spread. 】

【Everything is developing in a good direction. 】

[It was also at this time that something happened in the band that could not be ignored. 】

[Ichi Hongxia has confessed to you. 】

Chapter 38. Regret?

[Ichi Hongxia has confessed to you. 】

Nanxiang Shi:?

Look at this line of words.

Look at the name ‘Goto Kazuri’ in the love sim partner column.

Nan Xiang fell into silence.

Miss Ichichi, what are you doing?

I shouldn’t have simulated it wrong, right? The target of the love simulation is definitely Goto Kazuri, right?

But to be honest, this week he shielded the girls' dreams from the wind and rain, which can be said to have earned their favor.

It was actually not unexpected at all to be confessed by Ijichi Hongxia.

On the contrary, if he has done so many things for the girls, but they are still unmoved, then that is truly unscientific.

[Ichi Hongxia has confessed to you. 】

This line of words seems to cover the entire process in one stroke.

But Nanxiang Shi had to sink directly into the depths of the simulated memory.

"I think I probably like Ah Shi...no...maybe I particularly like him."

Standing in front of Nanxiang Shi, Ichichi Hongxia, who put down the drumstick, wiped the sweat from his forehead with concern and spoke softly.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

It's not unnatural at all.

Itichi Hongxia's confession was as natural as a considerate wife taking care of her husband who had just come in from the door to finish work, and the two of them spoke love words to each other.

But the words she spoke caused Yamada Ryo on the side to subconsciously move his fingers away from the strings of the bass, and Kita Ikuyo's fingers on the side stopped, and Goto Kazuri also secretly looked at him behind his bangs. Put it over.

"..."

The sudden confession did not panic Nanxiang Shi.

He just thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask the question: "Why?"

Yijizhi Hongxia's confession didn't look like a joke, and his response naturally couldn't be as casual as a joke. Naturally, he had to ask the reason.

[But this reason may not be difficult to find for Yiji Zhihongxia. 】

[She thought of you constantly helping them along the way. This process has happened too many times for her. When the band was in confusion, when the band was on the rise...you were there to help silently from behind without asking for anything in return. 】

[Even if you have never mentioned these things to her, she will still remember them. 】

[I don’t know when, I couldn’t take my eyes away from your figure. She looked at you and said so softly. 】

Yes.

Not just in band life now.

Even in her daily life, she wanted to see the shadow of Nanxiang Shi.

She wants to see him when she is happy, wants to see him when she is sad, and wants to tell him as soon as possible when she encounters something she wants to share.

Ijichi Hongxia knows this feeling...

Just like when she was a child, she felt exclusive about her sister.

However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with liking someone so much that you want to keep them all to yourself.

Yijizhi Hongxia's voice was as gentle and generous as usual, and she didn't seem to be embarrassed at all.

But if you look at it from the perspective of Nanxiang Shi.

The girl's body was obviously shaking slightly.

The tone of his enunciation and speech is also much more deliberate and heavier than usual.

He knew them so well, just as they knew him so well.

Nanxiang didn't want to hurt Yi Di Zhi Hongxia.

But in the end, Nan Xiangshi rejected her.

Perhaps he had given his sincerity little by little to the timid, introverted and socially fearful girl who needed his care and love through caring again and again.

[She didn’t let you see her cry. 】

[So you only saw her shoulders shrugging when she turned around, wiping her face haphazardly with the back of her hand. 】

[She ran out the door alone. Worried about her condition, Goto Kazuri and Kita Ikuyo followed. 】

[She and you both regard each other as a treasure, but how can you, who has been paying attention to her, bear to let her have a love affair with you that will end in vain sooner or later? 】

[You rejected Ichi Hongxia. 】

[Perhaps seeing that you were feeling a little depressed, Yamada Ryo, who had been silent all this time, proposed to go to the rooftop with you to get some fresh air. 】

[Tokyo is very cold in winter. Yamada Ryo rubbed his white palms next to you, breathing heavily. 】

[You hesitated for a while, then took off the scarf around your neck and tied it carefully around Yamada Ryo's smooth neck. Then you tucked the excess part of the scarf into her clothes. The thick scarf protected her from the cold. 】

[She didn’t say a word, but stretched out her cold-red palm to you. 】

[You thought for a while, but looking at her elegant and cold eyes, you still held her hand and shared the warmth with her. 】

[She is satisfied with this. 】

[The two of you are standing on the rooftop, looking down at the busy scene with busy traffic. In this scene, Ryo Yamada asks if the person you like is Kazuri Goto. 】

[You confirm Yamada Ryo’s question. You don’t have to hide anything from her who calls herself a weirdo in the band. 】

"What do you like about loneliness?"

Yamada Ryo, whose upper body was lying lazily on the rooftop railing, shook the half-cup of hot drink in his hand and asked briefly.

"Um."

There is nothing to hide from Ryo Yamada.

Although she doesn't speak, she sees things very clearly.

Nanxiang Shi looked far away and admitted.

"Yeah?"
