Arrogant little civil servant

　　After changing into aqua pajamas, Rui opened the door and entered.

　　"You are going to rest?" Seeing Shinichi lying on the bed, Rui stopped in front of the door.

　　"If you come to me for something, I won't rest," Shinichi sat up from the bed, crossed his legs and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

　　There was still a hint of doubt on Rui's face, but after hearing what Shinichi said, her voice became a little excited.

　　"Before summer vacation, I hope you can talk like this."

　　"Then that means you have an ulterior motive." Shinichi rolled his eyes, "And you are the least qualified person to criticize me."

　　This girl obviously couldn't speak better than him at that time.

"Do you have other intentions? Not like that. Besides, I've seen you once before, so maybe I'll feel happy." Rui clasped her hands behind her back, closed the door with her foot, and leaned against the door panel with her shoulder.

　　"At most, I wonder if you have eaten anything strange in the past seven years of growing up."

　　"It's impossible to eat Santiago's fertilizer..." Before she could finish her words, Shinichi heard a clanging sound.

　　It was the sound of the door being locked.

　　He looked at Rui who was showing a mysterious smile at the door. Shinichi pulled the blanket and wrapped himself up, shivering into the corner of the bed.

　　"If you have something to say, please don't come. Hina-san is still next door!"

　　Rui's face turned red, and she unlocked the door again.

　　"It was just a joke, why were you almost forced to have sex with a strong man? It feels like what the internet says… Weak?"

　　"It's not easy not to be crooked at that age. Stop reading some messy websites.." His expression returning to normal, Shinichi pulled back the blanket.

　　"I was joking too. And if you really want to say it, I'm a ruthless CEO with a strong energy attack, so I can't be a weak person."

　　Rui said, "Dream on, arrogant little civil servant."

　　Shinichi said irritably, "Rui, what kind of strange knowledge did you learn from the Internet..."

　　"Huh, I won't tell you."

　　Within seconds of speaking, Rui smiled happily.

　　Casual and pleasant chats like this would only happen after they became familiar with each other.

　　Rui walked towards his bed.

　　Shinichi looked at her sitting next to him, and asked.

　　"So, what's wrong?"

　　Rui said straight to the point.

　　"After following the quints all day today, I discovered something."

　　Shinichi said rather seriously.

　　"What?"

　　Rui looked at him with complicated thoughts that were hard to understand.

　　Her fists were clenched and she spoke softly.

　　"If this continues, the relationship between you and them will become very bad."

　　"Hah…?" Shinichi's surprised expression only appeared for a moment, then he covered up his surprise.

　　"Is this what you observe all day?"

　　Rui nodded. As she was about to explain, she saw Shinichi nod.

　　"I probably understand." Shinichi sighed softly, expressing helplessness, "Can you tell me your thoughts in detail? I need your information..."

　　"...Do you understand it like this?"

　　Rui always felt like she was pretending to be smart and able to understand what she wanted to express so quickly, either she was trying to act cool or she was expecting this development.

　　But if Shinichi knows what the consequences of his actions are, why does he continue to act so enjoying it?

　　Just for the deal of the day?

　　There is also information and such... There is a disgusting sense of calculation...

　　Rui lowered her gaze.

　　"Isn't that natural? I've noticed it a long time ago. I've thought about what you thought before. It has to be said that this is something that will happen sooner or later."

Shinichi smiled with good self-awareness, and his determined look was no longer as heartwarming as it was in the past.

　　"After all, they are sisters. It's okay to date one person. But if they're dating two or three people, it's unlikely they'll get caught."

　　"In short, what is certain is that we will be found out. After that…" Shinichi kept his expression calm and said, "There might be disagreements, fights, etc. because of me… In love like this it can also cause a rift in their sister's relationship."

　　Taking advantage of the opportunity, Rui criticized without hesitation.

　　"Very narcissistic, shameless."

　　Ignoring the pain in his chest, Shinichi turned on the air conditioner. The cold wind cooled his hot face before he continued talking.

　　"At the same time, there is also the possibility that I will be hated by them because of their love... Ahem, because I can't give to just one person. The worst outcome I can think of now is that I will be hated by Ichika and the others. They also separated from each other because of me."

　　"Of course this must be taken seriously. In fact, I don't think the family relationship they have established over the past seventeen years will be completely destroyed by me, an outsider."

　　For some reason, Rui hated his current analysis.

　　"You see it clearly, I think it is very important to you."

　　Shinichi looked at her strangely.

　　"This is very important."

　　"…"

　　Rui met his unwavering gaze.

　　"There are only a few friends I have a good relationship with, and only a few people are willing to like me. To me, each person is as important as a diamond in an iron mine."

　　"So until now I am still worried about how to deal with the relationship with them, and I never give up thinking."

　　"…I'm really sorry for doubting your feelings for them."

　　Rui said displeased and curled her hair with her fingers.

　　"It seems I was in vain worrying about you. Once I give you the 'information', just get out of here. Besides, there's no point."

　　Seeing his awkward sister, Shinichi smiled bitterly, pretending to be pitiful.

　　"Rui-chan, only you can help me. Please save poor Onii-chan who is trapped in a whirlpool of emotions~"

　　"Don't you feel disgusted by saying this? Sigh, forget it…" Rui glanced at him disdainfully, but her expression softened, and she was clearly not that angry.

　　Who knows why, but when she's with him, Rui always acts flirtatious without realizing it.

　　However, she never acted flirtatiously towards her mother or older sister, even towards her family members, let alone outsiders.

　　The word "like" can really change a person's personality...

　　"When we followed, Miku was very sad at first, but she soon decided to look for you and find out..."

　　"I find Ichika strange. She seems to be hiding a lot of things. Even though she always smiles, when we discuss…"

　　"And Yotsuba, she looks like you. She always wanted to be a good person and find an explanation that everyone could accept…"

　　"Itsuki? She is very good at eating..."
