How many more times do you want to do the same routine?

He greeted calmly, showing a hint of doubt and surprise.

　　The Nakano quintuplets simultaneously averted their gazes from Miku and looked at Shinichi, with a look of surprise in their eyes that didn't seem fake.

　　"It's amazing, we actually met here by chance..."

　　"Huh, if you ask me, this really was destined."

　　"Asada-san, Rui-san, hello!"

　　Miku who had been lying like a corpse, suddenly straightened up, and muttered in disbelief.

　　"Shinichi, suddenly appeared..."

　　No one knew that as the roller coaster raced wildly on the track, she kept chanting Shinichi's name silently in her heart.

　　But she didn't expect that her wish to get a shooting star came true, she would be able to meet him here so quickly.

Shinichi couldn't read the surprise in her eyes, he endured the pain in his leg and smiled.

　　"Hello everyone, see you everyone."

　　The meeting was too unexpected, and the roller coaster speed left them unable to say much. After at most a few greetings, everyone just watched each other pass by, and then the roller coaster started to accelerate.

　　At this moment, Miku no longer showed any annoyance, holding the safety rail tightly with both hands.

　　"...Shinichi is watching from the other side, I can't lose!"

　　The girl who gained courage decided to say goodbye to her cowardly self.

　　"No, I don't think he can see anything..."

　　Who knows whose complaint it was, but it was lost in the sudden wind pressure.

　　△

　　Shinichi didn't panic at all now.

　　Really, even though he was stared at by his cousin and the fake girlfriend next to him, he remained stable.

　　"I know you will doubt whether I have planned something, but if you remember their expressions carefully, you will know that we actually just met by chance. I didn't know that I would just meet them at this amusement park."

　　This is not a lie.

　　To be honest, Shinichi himself was surprised now.

　　It was a huge amusement park, but it happened to meet them at this time, and they passed by awkwardly... Wasn't this too coincidental?

　　This had nothing to do with coincidence, but his plan wasn't perfect enough.

　　If a mistake like this happens to a real girlfriend or other female friend, you can't just let it happen by pinching her thighs tightly. If you're not careful, you could immediately follow in Itou Makoto's footsteps.

　　Although Shinichi believes that he is completely different from that kind of bastard, and he will never have a girlfriend and secretly communicate with other girls.

　　So, what does it say in 'Twelve Steps to Overcoming Infidelity'...

　　"Go in the opposite direction. Don't meet them."

　　"Anyway, the quintuplets aren't your friends, so let's just pretend we didn't see them and continue playing on our own!"

Shinichi stared straight ahead, not observing Rui's expression.

　　However, this should be the safest answer.

　　Rui showed no expression.

　　The two of them walked down the stairs, and through the exit of the facility.

　　"…Then do as you say."

　　Amidst Shinichi's worried voice, the girl stopped.

　　Rui wasn't angry like before or disappointed. She just held Shinichi's hand again.

　　Raising her gaze, Rui spoke to him.

　　"In any case, I believe you will not disappoint me."

　　"…"

　　Once again, trust is entrusted.

　　There was a dull ache in his heart, and Shinichi wanted to avoid that frank look, give up all plans, and reveal everything.

　　However, he thought that besides the surprise at the farewell party, he had something else he wanted Rui to see and know before leaving.

　　In the end, Shinichi smiled and nodded.

　　"Yeah, I'll do my best."

　　△

　　Time moved towards noon.

　　The two of them didn't rest throughout the journey and played highly stimulating rides such as a death roller coaster, a coffee cup spinning at high speed, and a fast landing.

　　The two of them walked with ice cream in hand to relieve the heat, and decided to find a restaurant to rest and have lunch.

　　At this time, there were still quite a lot of people in the restaurant.

　　After queuing outside for a while, Shinichi wiped the sweat on the back of Rui's neck with a handkerchief.

　　"Rui, do you know why there are long lines in front of many restaurants?"

　　"Because there isn't enough space inside?"

　　"No, because they can drag customers who faint from heat stroke to the back kitchen to make ingredients."

　　"...I can understand your desire to tell a cold joke, but this joke is neither cold nor funny. That will only make people more upset."

　　"I really don't like it..."

　　With great difficulty queuing in front of the gate and being able to enjoy the AC inside.

　　At this time, the waiter came forward and whispered shyly.

　　"Are you two eating together? Do you guys mind sharing a table? This way we can get into the restaurant faster."

　　"I do not mind. The worst thing I could do is finish early... But may I ask, who is sharing the table...?"

　　If there are men, please wait a little longer.

　　The waiter immediately understood, but his expression became a little subtle for unknown reasons.

　　"There are five sisters who look very similar, and two high school girls who seem to be the same age... They're sitting at a big table, so there are still some chairs."

Shinichi: "..."

　　Rui: "…"
