Who said heroines have to be women?

　　It's not that he didn't want people to know about his kindness, Shinichi just thought Itsuki might thank him in an embarrassing way, so he ran away.

　　According to his personality, when Itsuki put on a serious "I know I was wrong, please accept my apology" expression, it meant that she had truly let go of the grudge in her heart.

　　Her pattern of behavior was too predictable, Shinichi only talked to Itsuki for a few tens of minutes, and observed a few times, his relationship wasn't very good, so he could infer this from her previous words and actions.

　　Nakano Itsuki is a self-respecting dork, a little clumsy, but very serious and straightforward.

　　Of course, this was just an excuse for Shinichi to hide her embarrassment.

　　No matter how many times he did it, it was still difficult for him to accept his casual behavior of "reaching out" to others.

　　Even if Itsuki didn't have any weird misunderstandings, Shinichi felt that self like that was really embarrassing.

　　Taking the running water and splashing it on his face, letting the cold water wash away the slightly increased temperature on his face, and in a calming manner agitated by embarrassment, Shinichi regained his composure.

　　After turning off the faucet and drying his face with a handkerchief, he looked at himself in the mirror, with a bookish temperament, but because he wasn't wearing glasses, he looked a bit gentler.

　　This is the standard image of an honor student who loves to study but knows how to love life.

　　This way, even if Shinichi had to face Itsuki later, he could maintain his usual approach and would no longer commit acts that embarrass himself.

　　Turning around, just as he was about to exit the toilet, he met Nariyuki who happened to enter.

　　"Shinichi, you just went to the toilet?" Nariyuki smiled and greeted him.

　　The polite smile on his face immediately disappeared, Shinichi shook his head, and said casually.

　　"No, I just put Hanako in the toilet, and now I'm going to look for tape to seal it. If you want to go to the toilet, go in, but don't open the door to the last room, she is trying to suck out human essence. It's too dangerous for air to come out of the toilet without the tape."

　　"Ah?" Nariyuki's face was full of astonishment, "S-Shinichi, are you kidding me? How is it possible to seal Hanako?!"

　　"Is that what you care about…" Shinichi reached out to pat his shoulder "I'm just kidding, which Hanako would stay in the men's bathroom where the sun is so hot?"

　　"That's right." Only Nariyuki breathed a sigh of relief with a hint of complaint in his tone, "Don't make such jokes..."

　　"By the way, I only went to the toilet and didn't wash my hands."

　　"Then you are still patting my shoulder?!" Nariyuki glanced at the place Shinichi touched with an irritated face.

　　Shinichi smiled sincerely: "This is also a joke."

　　"Huh... Don't be afraid..."

　　"That's also a joke."

　　"Stop making such horrible jokes!" Nariyuki complained loudly, and then sighed helplessly, "If you tell your classmates that you are dishonest in private, the Second King will become a title like Second Clown?"

　　"Don't worry, I was just having fun with my friends. Most of the time, I'm a nice person." Shinichi shrugged with a relaxed expression.

　　Nariyuki had black lines all over his head: "Is it too late for me to break up with you now?"

　　"Wait until the day the blue cat-shaped robot comes out of your desk drawer, it will be too late." Shinichi gave a thumbs up.

　　The fate that has been entangled since first grade of high school, coupled with quite compatible personalities and a tacit understanding of caring for each other, the two's relationship would not crack because of this little joke, instead the two showed their true selves, the friendship became stronger.

　　As he used to say before,, Shinichi and Nariyuki had a 20,000 yen relationship, the two of them rarely ate lunch together. Shinichi also works harder when teaching Furuhashi and Ogata, but that doesn't mean he doesn't respect Nariyuki. After all, he's the only friend who can make him show his most relaxed side, and Fuutarou can only be counted as half of that.

　　Friends at school weren't expensive, just one or two close friends who wanted to be friends, Shinichi also hoped that after graduation, the two of them could still talk like they are now.

　　Shinichi smiled, his mood got better, he waved his hand and turned to leave the toilet.

　　"Shinichi, wait a second! I have something I want to say."

　　Shinichi: "😐"

　　"Shinichi... Why are you acting like you're ready to run?"

　　Shinichi didn't look away, and replied indifferently: "Nariyuki, some things are not alienated by time, and some emotions are not accepted by people, I won't "accept it", you should find someone else."

　　"What are you talking about..."

　　"Everyone knows that it's not easy to talk about this kind of thing, but you have to understand that I don't want to be gay!"

　　Shinichi came to a firm conclusion, and sighed sadly that he had experienced such a bloody thing… No, there had actually been a sign last week, but back then he had chosen to ignore it for the sake of this rare friendship.

　　Nariyuki was stunned for a long time before he understood what Shinichi was saying, he quickly defended himself fiercely.

　　"What are you thinking about! My sexuality is normal, and I'm not gay! What I want to say is the specific recommendation I put down, but the condition is that I teach an English student, I only talk about it!"

　　Shinichi slowly got up from the posture before running, then walked towards Nariyuki.

"Your words are easy to make people think misunderstandings, no matter if the target is a girl or a boy, I will copy your handwriting and write a hundred love letters, put them in the mailbox of fifty men and women for the whole school, and add love letters luxurious and affectionately placed on Kirisu Sensei's desk."

　　"Well, do you know how to speak properly, my friend?"

　　Nariyuki nodded sadly.
