Rival of Love

"Then, that… May I ask what you think!"

　　Pulling Miku to a place where Shinichi couldn't hear, Fumino asked in a hurried tone.

　　"Suddenly telling Asada-san that I, I like… That kind of thing! Isn't this too weird?!"

　　Fumino waited for an answer from this unpredictable girl.

　　However, after a few seconds, there was still no sound in front of her, and she opened her eyes in doubt.

　　Looking at her, she found that Miku whose mouth and nose were still covered by her turned pale, and her hand was holding the back of her hand asking for help, and her fighting strength was gradually weakening.

　　Fumino let go of her hand, and waved her hand.

　　"S-Sorry! I didn't notice… Are you all right?"

　　"Huh... Huh... Huh..."

　　Miku supported her limp knees with one hand, covered her chest with the other, and gasped for air.

　　Avoiding the palm that Fumino held out, Miku backed away with wary eyes, and distanced herself from her.

　　She really had the feeling that she neck was being torn while being dragged, or she was dying from lack of oxygen because she couldn't breathe, and she was almost about to see her mother in heaven.

　　And all of this is due to the girl who looks gentle and cheerful on the outside, but is actually strict and cruel!

　　Taking her phone out of her pocket, Miku looked at Fumino.

　　"Thinking of using this method to exclude others and monopolize Shinichi… You are really scary."

　　"I just said it was unintentional! And it's too much to call the police!"

　　First she defended her innocence, then Fumino lowered her head and said sincerely with guilt.

　　"I am really, really sorry! I scared you by acting violently because I panicked. I am really, really sorry!"

　　 Miku's wary expression was replaced by a touch of surprise, and her nervousness loosened, she looked at the girl in front of her.

　　Fumino heard a soft and slow voice coming from her head.

　　"Then… You promise me one thing, and I will forget about what just happened."

　　Having almost made a big mistake, Fumino nodded without thinking much.

　　"Please tell me, as long as it's something I can do, I will—"

　　"Stop liking Shinichi again."

　　"I can not do it!"

　　Fumino answered so loudly in an excited tone.

　　Then, she realized what she had said, her face turned red, and she waved her hands frantically.

　　"That's not the case… Anyways, why do you keep saying that I like Asada-san! I, I don't like Asada-san..."

　　"Mhm, no need to argue anymore."

　　Miku shook her head and looked at her.

　　"I wasn't sure at first... I didn't expect it to be true, and it was more shocking than I could have imagined..."

　　Fumino looked at her in confusion "What does this mean..."

　　"That is, I like Shinichi, and now I'm sure you like Shinichi too." Miku had accepted that fact helplessly, she looked away and slightly puffed out her cheeks.

　　"I'm also guilty of what happened just now… I dare not say how much I like it. I knew that and did that… I'm sorry."

　　"Also, things that don't keep you from liking it are just talking casually… But what you just said was a bit too much, so we're even."

　　Fumino was stunned.

　　"So... At that time, you were really angry?"

　　Miku stared straight at Fumino without lacking in momentum.

　　"Of course...!"

　　"It's normal to get angry after being said by a 'love rival' and feel inferior!"

　　Her face flushed red, Miku bit her trembling lips.

　　"Furuhashi Fumino, I want to tell you… I will not lose!"

　　"Even if you really like Shinichi, I don't think I will lose to you. The things that have happened and the relationship I have built with Shinichi must be deeper and deeper than yours!"

　　If not for her sister, Miku would have been able to muster up such courage.

　　No need to worry, no need to entangle harmony between families. If an outsider wanted to compete with her, she would not back down.

　　Miku made a statement to Fumino this time!

　　Even if Fumino studied with Shinichi every day, even she could naturally come to his house as a guest, even if she had been to his room...

　　Even so, judging by the way she's busy trying to hide it, she probably hasn't confessed her feelings to Shinichi yet.

　　Fumino hasn't taken the step of unrequited love yet. Perhaps they had never even held hands before, and her real relationship with him was just that of a normal teacher-student.

　　Then have no fear.

　　Because besides not knowing Shinichi's mother, Miku is far ahead in other aspects!

　　Thinking of this, Miku's confidence returned, and her smile slowly appeared.

　　Miku straightened her usually slumped waist and shoulders, lifted her head and straightened her chest, and looked directly at Fumino.

　　She didn't speak, but the feeling of showing off "Not only am I big breasts, I also like Shinichi more than you" was deeply reflected in Fumino's eyes.

　　Fumino was confused at the sudden declaration of war, she couldn't react for a while.

　　But a refreshing and bright smile emerged.

　　"...Mhm, I see!"

　　Knowing that the other party understands her feelings for Shinichi, and knowing that the other party wants to fight back with a stronger heart

　　"But I can't let you take Asada-san for now."

　　"Because, whether it was you or your sister…"

　　Fumino took a step forward, put away her smile, and said seriously.

　　"There's no one who likes Asada Shinichi more than me (and Ricchan)."

　　There is no intention to provoke at all, such as telling certain facts.

　　 Miku looked surprised and she looked at her.

It didn't take long for the two of them to laugh.

　　"That's what I would say."

　　"Let's wait and see."

　　Miku turned around, put her hands behind her back, and glanced at her lightly.

　　"Pleased to meet you. I'm Nakano Miku, just call me Miku."

　　This was the first official greeting between the two.

　　Fumino sighed silently, but her face was filled with a happy smile.

　　"I'm Furuhashi Fumino, you can call me Fumino, Miku."

　　"Fumino..." Miku pondered for a moment, "This is very similar to the name Nino."

　　"So, Miku's name is exactly the same as virtual idol... Have you ever heard of Hatsune Miku?"

　　"Of course, who doesn't know the name Hatsune..."

　　The two girls met at the same pace, completely different from before, chatting happily, and happily returned to their original path.

　　It is said that people who like the same things have a higher chance of becoming friends.

　　People who like the same things can become rivals before they become friends.

　　But even if they are rivals in love, there is a possibility of becoming friends. Who knows how long a friendship like that can last.

　　Can the happiness it brings be worth the pain of losing...
