Mid Semester Exam (4)

　　Afternoon.

　　After reuniting with Ogata, the three of them grabbed their lunch and school supplies and made their way to the labyrinth garden behind the school building.

　　Furuhashi followed behind Shinichi, looking at him with the inexplicable anxiety in her heart that had not disappeared since morning.

　　(At first I thought that Ichika or Nino were the biggest threat, but I didn't expect anyone else...)

　　Unlike the two Nakano duo who seemed interested in Shinichi, now she seems interested in "Nakano Miku".

　　Furuhashi was good at observing, so she could clearly see that when Shinichi said her name, the look and demeanor he showed was completely different from when he was talking about Ichika and Nino when he was facing Yotsuba and Itsuki.

　　Furuhashi was very displeased, as Shinichi had never shown such an expression before facing the two of them.

　　Ogata's words are unclear, but when Shinichi hangs out with her, he pretends to be stupid, tsundere, shy, shy, fake confessions, and treats her casually.

　　If Shinichi had that kind of heart for Ogata, plus her own drive, maybe it would all be over by now. Furuhashi could barely hold back the urge, Did Shinichi ignore girls feelings?

　　In other words, it's just an asshole!

　　The more she thought about it, the angrier Furuhashi got.

　　Ogata next to her was shocked when she saw her, and asked: "Fumino, what's wrong? Stomach ache? Or are you too hungry? Why are you looking at Shinichi with an expression that you weren't waiting to eat him?"

　　When Shinichi heard that he turned his head away, Furuhashi tilted her head and smiled.

　　"No way~ Ricchan, you see wrongly, I'm just looking forward to lunch time."

　　"Waiting?" Shinichi smiled: "It turns out that as my mother said, Furuhashi, you are a foodie, uh-!"

　　Amidst those brief words, his legs softened, and he almost fell to his knees.

　　Furuhashi said melodiously: "Asada-san? Did you say something that wasn't cute~"

　　It was just an undisguised threat, a very clear hint.

　　"Stop talking and leave quickly. Lunch break wasn't as long as expected."

　　... After all, he was the one who made the mistake first, and Shinichi wouldn't have died if he hadn't said so much. Why couldn't he understand this truth?

　　And this reaction obviously made Furuhashi very satisfied.

　　"Okay~" Furuhashi smiled lightly, and followed behind him like a little wife, but Shinichi didn't feel happy at all, only felt a kind of soft oppressive feeling.

　　Ogata was unknowingly ignored by the two, looked at them and pointed her finger at her chin.

　　"The relationship between these two people… Is it better than before?"

　　After thinking for a while, she didn't come to a conclusion, and saw that the two had gone far away, so she hurriedly chased after them.

　　...

　　Canteen.

　　Itsuki took a full plate and sat down in the empty seat between the four of them.

　　"I've been waiting a long time~"

　　"Phew, it's finally time to eat... You sure ordered so many dishes like usual." Nino groaned, then shoved the salad into her mouth.

　　Itsuki apologized, and as she picked up the extra large bowl of tempura, she looked at Miku.

　　She remembered what Shinichi said in the morning.

　　"Hey, Miku, are you confident about this midterm?"

　　Miku gave her a strange look while chewing the rice balls in small bites.

　　"Faith... It doesn't count, but I will do my best..."

　　Yotsuba also lifted a tangerine for dessert, placed it on top of her head, and smiled excitedly: "Hehehe, Nakano Yotsuba, the midterms will also be fully☆full☆full☆!"

　　"Why are you talking with tangerines in your head..." Ichika smiled. "Everyone is so serious, it makes me want to pick up books again~"

　　"Aren't you busy with the film business? Don't push yourself." Nino glanced at her.

　　"Well, then I'll wait until forest school is over and watch it. If the film side is busy, maybe it's a good choice to study hard?" Ichika teases Nino, "What does Nino want? Didn't you come to study together too? Then our family will be tidy again."

　　Nino didn't take it seriously: "Don't be stupid, when that guy was still a tutor, didn't I teach him with you? Unless necessary, otherwise I am too lazy to waste time studying, there is no value for money, the opportunity cost is too high."

　　"Oh, Nino said something very similar to what Asada-san would say!" Yotsuba said happily.

　　"Hmph, that's not a well-known saying, everyone will say it, okay?"

　　"By the way, speaking of Asada-kun..." Setting down the empty bowl, Itsuki picked up some fried oolong and sipped it.

　　"He's supposed to be teaching Furuhashi-san and Ogata-dan while eating now? That's what he said this morning."

　　"😐"x4

　　As soon as the words fell, there was a moment of silence, only Itsuki's sucking sound was very clear.

　　The smile on Yotsuba's face faded slightly, and was slightly confused: "Furuhashi-san... The person who was with Asada-san last time..."

　　Nino frowned, and munched on the salad with a displeased look on her face.

　　Ichika looked at Miku. Due to an unknown state of mind, she doesn't tell Miku that she has a very threatening love rival.

　　(Talk about Ogata-san. I don't know if she likes Shinichi-kun like Fumino...)

　　Miku held the rice ball in both hands, raised her head, and said, "Shinichi said he still has two students, and he is in charge of their grades, that's why he couldn't be with us recently."

　　Instead of responding, it's better to explain.

　　Itsuki nodded, then said with hesitation.

　　"There are two places where they study. I've heard of a study room dedicated to the student council. I heard that it is a very luxurious study room, but where is the Sakura Pavilion—"

　　Before the words were finished, the rice ball fell from Miku's hand and onto the table.

　　Miku opened her eyes wide, her tone trembling slightly.

　　"Itsuki... You said, where?"
