Meeting between the Quintuplets and Tachibana Hina

　　Outside the cafe.

　　Wearing sunglasses and masks that covered half of their faces, Rui and Hina sat in the corner of the cafe's outdoor area.

　　The two of them were drinking coffee while secretly peeking at the guy and girl who were chatting.

　　"Even though I have found Shinichi-kun…" Hina lowered her mask, and took a sip of coffee.

　　"So sour... Why do we have to watch other people date here? And the two went to a coffee shop for a date. What a young person's mood huh."

　　"This is the last thing you should say."

　　Rui glanced into the shop and then looked back, expressionlessly drinking black coffee, and the bitter taste didn't make her frown at all.

　　If look closely, her cheeks are puffed up like a sulking hamster, clearly unhappy.

　　"That's why I said it tastes very sour..."

　　Hina held her face in her hands and muttered analysis.

　　"Even though there was no intimate behavior, the atmosphere we got along with was very good... Shinichi-kun smiled when talking to her. I only saw him like this when he was playing with you."

　　Because of the angle, when they found Shinichi outside the cafe, they didn't see the appearance of his date today.

　　Hina looked around, and then found that there were four strange, suspicious-looking girls sitting in a four-seater chair in the corner, wearing headscarves, masks, and sunglasses.

　　Her eyes widened in surprise, and she poked Rui's arm, gesturing for her to look over there.

　　"Listen, those people are very suspicious."

　　Rui looked away, then looked back at Hina's face.

　　"Hina Nee-san, the most valuable thing in a person is self-knowledge."

　　"Oh, this is a necessary disguise for us," Hina smiled awkwardly, then looked at the four people and whispered seriously.

"There's only the two of us, and we're only half as suspicious as they are. And don't you think those people have similar body shapes? It's just that one of them feels a little plumper, it feels like it was molded from the same material... Could it be a cult group?"

　　"Maybe they're just cosplayers. It's better not to discuss other people's interests behind their backs."

　　Rui stared boredly at someone in the shop.

　　"Judging from her reaction, she seems to like Miku's appearance more than Nino's…"

　　"Hmm, then, maybe if you saw him dating Miku, the results would be more believable…" Hina nodded her head, then was stunned, "Wait a minute, this name…"

　　Rui stood up from her seat and drank the black coffee in one gulp.

　　"They will leave. Find a place to hide first. We will be too conspicuous here."

　　"Oh!" Hina didn't have time to think deeply about the doubts she had just heard. She also drank the coffee in her hand in one fell swoop and prepared to leave with Rui.

　　At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from the four of them.

　　"Everyone, let's go. Asada-san's observations were very sharp. The four of us look exactly the same from behind. It's easy for him to guess our identities when we get together... Let's hide there first."

　　A serious voice ordered the other three people. They tightened the brims of their hats and stood up and moved silently, leaving the outer area of the cafe and hiding behind the sable mascot not far away.

　　Since they were leaving in the same direction, when going down the stairs in the open area, Rui and Hina would definitely walk with them. One of the veiled girls politely gave up her position, and her voice was cheerful.

　　"Go ahead, both of you, and be careful not to fall!"

　　"Thank You..."

　　Why does it feel so familiar...

　　There was a hint of doubt on Rui and Hina's faces. Seeing the veiled girl's faint smile, Hina looked at her face hidden in the shadows.

　　"Sorry, have I seen you somewhere... Ah!?"

　　As Hina screamed in surprise, the other party also stopped in place, her eyes widening in surprise.

　　"You..."

　　The three people in front looked back when they saw that their companions were not following.

　　"Yotsuba, what are you doing? Quickly follow. Be careful not to get caught by those two people."

　　However, the veiled girl who was in a state of shock ignored their calls and stared at each other with Hina. After a while, the two pointed at each other's noses and shouted.

　　"Yotsuba-chan!"

　　"Hina-chan!"

　　Rui's mouth twitched, finally remembering that familiar feeling.

　　When the three people in front heard Yotsuba's scream, they turned to face them.

　　"Rui-chan?"

　　"Tachibana Sensei?"

　　"Why are you two here…"

　　Rui sighed, "This is what we wanted to ask too…" She glanced at the open door of the coffee cafe, then she waved at everyone.

　　"Let's talk about it later. They will come out. You don't want to get caught following their date, do you?"

　　"Ehehe..."

　　Several people laughed awkwardly, then the six of them gathered together. Rushing towards the mascot on the side of the road, they watched nervously as the two people came out of the cafe and walked side by side towards them.

　　They could still vaguely hear Shinichi and Nino's conversation.

　　"Hey, do you feel like you're being watched?"

　　"Supervised? Was he that flirtatious guy earlier?"

　　"The number of gazes has become too much." Shinichi touched his ear, "At first, there might have only been one or two glances, but I don't know why they doubled..."

　　"Are you being targeted by something strange... Wait a moment!"

　　After passing the weasel mascot statue, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look.

　　Six people wearing Kamen Rider-like hoods surrounded the tanuki statue in strange postures, as if they were worshiping her as a king. The children nearby were taking photos with them, it seemed like it was some kind of promotional event.

　　Even though it was a bit suspicious, she didn't see the person she thought she would see, Nino still looked around before looking back.

　　"Isn't it possible that they also came here..."

　　"They? Did you tell them what happened today?"

　　"What? Can't? Do you feel guilty?"

　　"Okay. Then it is very possible that they followed…"

　　"This is all because of you."

　　"Do not blame me. You are clearly an accomplice… No, you are the main perpetrator after all."

　　"Oh, so it turns out that liking you is a sin? Then I'm really guilty."

　　"Don't just express your feelings on the street... You'll blush too."

　　"Hmph~"

　　The sound of their conversation slowly disappeared.

　　After about thirty seconds, the Hooded Team left the tanuki without a sound. Many kids cried about it, and one member of Team Hood almost stayed behind.
