Four Leaf Flow

　　Even though he remembered Mafuyu's words, Shinichi had no intention of talking to her.

　　Even if he felt like he couldn't handle everything perfectly by himself, he had no choice but to do it himself.

　　He had someone to talk to, but no partner who was on the same page, that was the situation right now.

　　Maybe it's better to find a man to discuss it? For example, Fuutarou seemed very tight-lipped, after all not many people would talk to him, and they probably wouldn't believe him if he did.

Shinichi hesitated for a moment, then he himself rejected the idea.

　　Whether it's selfishness, Shinichi doesn't want other people, especially men, to know his relationship, feelings and various information with them.

　　A truly evil desire for exclusivity… But he prefers to embellish the word as "mind your own business".

　　Carrying these complicated thoughts throughout the journey, when he met Fumino and the others at the coffee shop, he forgot everything and began to concentrate on guiding them in their studies.

　　Naturally, after teaching to a certain extent, they were allowed to explore their own talents.

　　After class was over and Shinichi went home for dinner, Rui cooked the entire table with dishes he didn't like, and placed a whole durian where he usually sat.

　　Fruits in Japan are expensive, this one costs around 4,000 to 5,000 yen, it seems like that prank in the morning really made her very angry.

　　"Shinichi Onii-chan, please sit down."

　　Rui who tied a short ponytail, smiled very gently.

　　To make her presence felt, Hina weakly raised her hand and added: "I bought durian, 4,750 yen including tax..."

　　Shinichi looked at the durian, put his school bag on the sofa, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, then returned to the dining table.

　　"Is it unpleasant to sit?"

　　Shinichi pulled out a chair and sat down!

　　Then he took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating as usual.

　　The sight made everyone shiver.

　　The Tachibana sisters looked at him in surprise.

　　"...Why don't you just take a durian and sit on a chair?"

　　A few seconds later, Rui touched her forehead helplessly.

　　Hina laughed loudly and slapped the table exaggeratedly.

　　"Ha ha ha ha! It's actually an air chair. Where do you come from as a comedian? Hahaha~"

　　"Hina-san, there is food on the table, calm down." Shinichi said while eating.

　　His legs were bent ninety degrees, his back straight and firm in the air.

　　This is what everyone knows— Four-leaf flow, Air chair!

　　Those quiet words mixed with Hina's laughter, Shinichi raised his eyebrows and spoke calmly.

　　"By taking it, doesn't that mean I've given in to Rui's jokes? No matter when, the one who can surprise is the winner."

　　At first glance it sounds like very philosophical words.

　　But Rui snorted a laugh, as if she had just heard a ridiculous speech, and gave him a disgusted look.

　　Then she took the durian to the kitchen, bringing out two plates of Shinichi's favorite food.

　　"Be good and eat obediently."

　　Shinichi looked at her doubtfully.

　　"With so many dishes, will it be too much to finish?"

　　Rui took the plate, and said.

　　"No, because the leftovers will be your lunch tomorrow."

　　"...Rui, you know? I originally wanted to praise you for your gentleness."

　　"Is it true? What if I'm joking?"

　　"You are simply a goddess."

　　"Then, now it's a reality. Congratulations, and look forward to lunch tomorrow."

　　"...Tsk, are you a devil?"

　　"Our shop does not provide cosplay services, please focus on your food."

　　"Are you a chef, manager, or waiter?"

　　"I'm just a little sister."

　　"...Okay, I will forgive you. Let's eat."

　　Hina looked at their interaction, her hands were shaking until she couldn't hold the plate, and she laughed.

　　"Ha ha ha ha! Say it again, I have to record it... It's been a long time since I heard such cute cross talk, hahaha~"

　　The two people who had their heads lowered to eat ignored her and let the laughter echo alone in the room.

　　The Asada family is currently as peaceful as ever.

　　△

　　Time flies, three days later.

　　Today was the only weekday Shinichi had no classes. The Nakano family also did not arrange tutors. Hina was the same as before, sleeping until Shinichi was about to go out.

　　Rui already knows that Shinichi will be dating Miku at the aquarium, and she seems to be used to it. After lazily saying goodbye, she continued lying on the sofa and reading a novel.

　　Shinichi wouldn't understand the feeling of letting the guy she likes date another girl who likes him, and he also didn't understand where her open-mindedness came from.

　　"I'll be back for dinner."

　　With these words, Shinichi closed the door.

　　Rui closed her eyes, only to find that she couldn't remember a single word of what she had just read. Everything was completely forgotten in her empty mind.

　　"...But at least it's invisible."

　　She muttered as she threw the novel aside and replaced it with a manga that was easier to read.

　　As soon as she opened it, a row of bright red characters on the colorful title page came into view.

　　[Love is war! The person who falls in love with someone else first is the loser! !]

　　Rui put down the manga, stood up and walked to the kitchen.

　　"Am I not looking for abuse... Forget it, let's develop a new dish."

　　Wearing an apron, tying her hair, and standing in the kitchen, the girl was in high spirits at the moment.
