How can my simulation be a real love?

I hope the fever is not just a simple fever, and I can get a substitute after waking up.

"Do I really think too highly of myself?"

Feng Jianming was relying on the 'Physical Health Enhancement' and 'Endurance LV4' skills he had obtained in the simulation before, so he dared to work so hard.

I thought that with so many skill bonuses, if not enough to turn me into an immune system to all poisons, at least I would not catch a fever or catch a cold just because of a little cold. But it turned out that I overestimated myself.

Feng Jianming, who was a little skeptical, slowly opened the simulator panel.

【Royal Love Simulator】

[Host: Feng Jianming]

[Skills: 'Legendary Painting Skills LV5', 'Piano LV3', 'Music Theory LV4', 'Endurance LV4'...]

The series of skills looked powerful, but in the end, none of them could be used at this moment.

It would be nice if there was a skill like "battle continuation" at this time.

"Sorry, I still have to train today."

When he thought of this, the headache he had originally suffered from the fever seemed to become even worse.

We had originally planned to practice playing an ensemble with the members of Mygo today.

But now that Feng Jianming has such a fever, let alone running out to practice ensemble with everyone, he should be thankful that he can solve lunch and dinner by himself and not starve to death at home.

hum...

The cell phone on the bedside table was vibrating naturally. Feng Jianming picked up the phone reluctantly. The dazzling light made him squint his eyes involuntarily.

That's a message on Line.

[Simple (Note): Where are you? You still have practice today, didn't you forget it? ]

The one who was described as 'simple' by Feng Jianming was naturally the most reliable brother in his heart, Li Xi.

Feng Jianming was a little surprised that it was Riki, who had the worst temper, who sent him a message first. However, even through the glass plate of the mobile phone screen, he seemed to be able to see that Riki Shiina on the other side must have a look of impatience.

You should know that in order to practice live during the summer vacation, Shiina Riki went to work part-time to increase more band funds, so he could boldly rent RiNG's practice room for half a month.

This also shows how much she values ​​this Live performance.

He, the keyboard player, didn't attend the important practice, and Li Xi didn't criticize him directly because he had a good attitude.

……

RiNG on the other side——

"Mingming is so weird? She hasn't replied yet..."

Chihaya Aine, who was already in the practice room, seemed a little confused. She hadn't seen Feng Jianming until now, which made her feel a little worried, so she quickly picked up her cell phone and prepared to call him.

"Let me make a phone call first to check the situation."

As a result, just as she was about to take out her cell phone, Nagasaki Motoyo who was standing next to her started dialing Feng Jianming's number.

Seeing her move so quickly made Chihaya Aine stunned for a moment, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that the phone number in the other party's hand was given by her, and she suddenly felt a little depressed and regretful.

Chihaya Aine became more alert when looking at Nagasaki Motoyo's gentle face. Even though the other party did not do anything in the dream, she had to be on guard considering Mingming's charm.

"Kazemi has a cold and can't come today."

Not far away, a cold and calm voice suddenly came.

"Eh? What's going on?"

Chihaya Aine, who was standing on the left, was immediately drawn to her attention, and she looked in surprise at Shiina Tatsuki, who was sitting in front of the drum set.

She showed the chat history on her mobile phone with a cold expression. On the screen was the message that Feng Jianming asked for leave due to a cold. The girls who saw this were all shocked.

"Why did you catch a cold all of a sudden?"

Nagasaki Suyo also frowned slightly, and her right hand began to unconsciously play with the ends of her hair beside her ear.

I saw Feng Jianming two days ago and he was in good condition. How come he caught a cold and stayed at home after just one day? Isn't this too sudden?

"… Ming, are you okay?"

Gao Songdeng, who was holding the microphone in his hand, frowned immediately, and his amber eyes with a hint of gold were full of uneasiness and worry.

She slowly lowered her head, and with panicked eyes began to search Feng Jianming's Line. She also sent several caring messages in succession trying to get a little comfort from his reply.

But there was no immediate response, and beads of sweat began to appear on the girl's smooth forehead.

"Ming..."

Just hearing the word "sick" made it difficult for Takamatsu Deng to think, as if an invisible fog had enveloped her whole body, and she would even become uncontrollably frightened just standing there.

Ming in the 'dream' also suddenly fell ill and died.

This scene, which was so similar to his dream, made Gao Songdeng feel extremely uneasy.

"It's just a cold. It should be fine after a few days of rest." Shiina Tatsuki just shook his head gently.

She did not choose to suspend everyone's training because of Feng Jianming's absence. You have to know that their live performance is less than a month away, and the band's current condition is obviously not good enough to go on stage.

There is a rehearsal before the official performance. If you can't pass the rehearsal, let alone the aftermath.

"..."

The one who suddenly spoke was the guitarist Maomao who was standing at the side. Perhaps because Feng Jianming was unable to come to practice today, she felt a little bored and had already started to put away her guitar.

Shiina Riki, who noticed that this guy wanted to run away, frowned slightly. She held two slender drumsticks in her hands and took a long breath. Her sharp eyes slowly swept over the faces of several people and then spoke -

"Let's just continue practicing."

"Eh? But Mingming still..."

Chihaya Aine felt something was not quite right.

It would obviously be a bit bad for Feng Jianming that a band continued to practice without an important position, but Shiina Riki, who was already a little irritated, still just frowned deeply.

She spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, "We have to continue practicing even if Kazami isn't here. The Live is about to start."

"Your level is totally insufficient. What are you going to do when you get on stage?"

The atmosphere in the entire practice room seemed to become a little tense all of a sudden.

Chihaya Aine, who was very clear about her own level, was speechless when she heard what Shiina Ryuki said.

Nagasaki Suyo saw this and thought to herself that something was wrong. She immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Calm down, Riki-chan. We still have a lot of time, don't we?"

"…There's not enough time. We haven't even finished composing the second song yet."

Shiina Riki shook his head again.

The first song produced by Feng Jianming has been continuously improved with her suggestions for changes. At present, there are no major problems. However, if you want to perform a Live, you can't rely on just one song.

This time they were performing on stage as substitutes for other bands. With a performance time of about fifteen minutes, they had to prepare at least two or even a third song.

You can't really go on stage and play "Haruhi Shadow", right?

"But Mingming can't continue composing music now, right? She needs to rest for at least three days with a fever and a cold..." Chihaya Aine pouted softly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Hearing this, Shiina Riki also frowned deeply.

If we exclude the time for ensemble practice and other preparations, the workload of producing the remaining two songs will seem huge, and the composing time will seem a bit tight.

Feng Jianming was preparing to finish the band's arrangement and training some time ago. In addition, he had to rely on part-time jobs to maintain his daily needs. Perhaps it was the long-term accumulation of fatigue that led to his current illness.

Shiina Riki believes that his workload cannot be increased any further.

"He does need to rest for a few days, but we can't stop during this time."

"If the arrangement progress is stopped for a few more days, the subsequent training time will be delayed again."

Shiina Riki felt more and more anxious.

Now it seems that there is only one month left for preparation.

But now it will take a lot of time just to write three original songs for the band, not to mention that everyone has to integrate the three songs and practice them until they can coordinate with each other.

Not to mention that the rehearsal starts earlier than the official live performance, and the band hasn’t even decided on a name yet.

"It can't be delayed any longer."

There is no time to delay either practicing or arranging music.

Shiina Tatsuki is usually only responsible for giving suggestions for improving some songs, but these are ultimately just auxiliary work after the composition is completed. She herself has not directly participated in the entire composition process.

To compose the music score, I still have to rely on Feng Jianming.

But it was precisely this that made her feel extremely unwilling.

Growing up under the aura of her elder sister's genius, as a younger sister, Shiina Riki is naturally inevitably compared by others around her. No matter how hard she tries, she can never compare to her sister.

The most she can be said to be is 'She's worthy of being her sister'.

After all, Tachibana Shiina is just a foil.

No one would expect her, as a younger sister, to be more outstanding than her talented older sister. Everything seemed so natural.

Shiina Riki gripped the drumsticks tightly with both hands, and a hint of determination flashed in his cold, violet eyes.

“…I’ll compose the music.”

"what?"

Miss Aiyin opened her mouth wide, revealing her sharp little canine teeth that gleamed with a cold light.

How did it develop into this state out of nowhere?

"I said I will take over his job until that guy Kazami recovers."

It is obvious that Shiina Riki did not say this casually. In fact, she had been trying to learn how to compose music a long time ago.

Especially after she formed a band with Takamatsu Deng again, in order to prevent any problems with Feng Jianming's seemingly unreliable "arrangement", she was actually ready to take over the mess from Feng Jianming.

Not to mention that during this period of time, in order to help, she has also been learning Feng Jianming's music style.

"I will help you with the process of making music. I also have a prelude of his song that has been partially completed here—"

"I'll write the remaining verses and choruses. At least during this period of time, we must not let the band stand still."

Seeing Shiina Riki's expression becoming extremely serious, Chihaya Aine beside him was almost stunned.

It would be fine if the song creation was completely blank, but Feng Jianming had already written half of the song. If Shiina Riki were to continue arranging the song at this time, the difficulty of the arrangement would be unimaginable.

"But Riki-chan, if this happens, Ming-san..."

Nagasaki Suyo began to play with the index finger of her right hand nervously, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"I'll go talk to Kazami over there."

……

Street in the afternoon.

Because Shiina Tachibana had to rush back to prepare for the arrangement, everyone only trained for an hour or two before disbanding.

"What? Rikki is exaggerating."

Chihaya Aine was carrying her guitar on her back as she walked slowly on the asphalt road in the neighborhood. Her beautiful long cherry blossom hair slid gently down her shoulders as she walked, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in the girl's light gray eyes.

Suddenly he asked her to compose music for Mingming. Even she knew it was difficult.

The difficulty of 'composing' is different from that of playing a musical instrument.

Instruments like guitar and bass only require a lot of practice, but Miss Aine, who has studied music theory with Feng Jianming for a period of time, naturally knows how difficult composing is.

Not to mention that he was composing the music halfway through.

"Lixi-chan... probably also cares about the band and everyone else."

Hearing Xiao Meideng's low and gentle voice, Chihaya Aine raised her little head helplessly.

"Of course I know that."

After all, there was only less than a month left until the official live performance, and they had not practiced much, so they couldn't cooperate well, and their guitar skills might not be stable.

After seeing the wonderful performance of the closing band, everyone felt more or less anxious and nervous.

Not to mention that Feng Jianming, one of the backbones of the band, was sick in bed at this time.

"I don't know how Mingming is doing now... Although Rikki said that she only took leave because she had a cold, we don't know the specific situation at all!"

"I'm worried about Ming..." Gao Songdeng tucked his two little hands into his sleeves, and the worry on his face seemed to solidify.
