As long as Asada-san turns into Asada-chan, everything will be fine

　　This is not the first time the two of them have taken notes in class. There is no psychological burden when doing so, in fact, they feel like they are doing bad things secretly.

　　Of course, the people behind their actions could clearly see it.

　　Shinichi couldn't guess what Fumino's purpose was in taking the initiative to satisfy her curiosity.

　　Was it because he was just having fun chatting with the quintuplets? Or does Fumino want to take this opportunity to clarify the complicated relationship between the study groups?

　　Shinichi ran through several possibilities in his mind. At the same time, he took out a blank notebook and tore the notes from it to reply.

　　Not long after, a paper plane landed sideways on Fumino's desk.

　　Although Shinichi thought a paper crane would be more romantic, the paper crane was a keepsake between himself and someone, and he didn't want to give it to anyone but her, so he turned it into a paper airplane.

　　Fumino watched the paper airplane stop next to her arm. She held her cheek on the table with one hand, and deftly dismantled the paper airplane with the other.

　　[It seems like you two had a good chat. I still think that if I see you looking unhappy after entering school, I will give you a lot of homework and high-intensity teaching so that you don't have time to think about many things. What a shame... No, congratulations on escaping]

　　Fumino looked horrified to see the homicidal maniac reading out her criminal plan in front of her.

　　Immediately, Shinichi took the note that Fumino threw and opened it.

　　[So scary. Do you still have a conscience as a teacher? Let learning retain its purity! If I didn't get enlightenment from Ricchan, I would indeed experience depression. This is not because of your relationship with those trusted people, but what kind of mentality and relationship should we continue to live together after this? To be honest, I wasn't mentally prepared at all]

　　Shinichi smiled, and after finishing writing, the paper plane flew again.

　　 Fumino looked at the gentle font in the middle and bit her lip.

　　[It's a pity that when I knew I was falling in love with you, I was already mentally prepared. Accept it if you are disliked, keep your distance if you are ostracized, repay kindness if you are treated well, and retaliate if you are treated well. Stick to your stance and try to maintain your relationship as fellow educators, that's all]

　　[That's a statement that doesn't make anyone happy at all. But also what I said to Ricchan? Including us, Asada-san is liked by many people, with so many guns aimed at him, you will definitely choose to remain silent and maintain the status quo, whoever calls him, he will not respond]

　　[Not always]

　　[Eh? What does it mean?]

　　[If I were a bastard, I would let everyone point their guns at me and hug me with their warm little hands]

　　[Sigh, what a shame you didn't~ Otherwise, you would have eaten the innocent Ricchan until there were no bones left. That figure is very destructive (cross out)... If I were a man, I might not be able to bear it. But if it was Asada-san, even if Ricchan was standing in front of you without any clothes, you wouldn't dare take action because there are many things to consider, right?]

　　[That's right. This kind of belief really touches me. Can I hug you, Fumino?]

　　[Okay. When I give my speech on Friday, I will declare my love for you loudly in front of the whole school and I will let you hug me]

　　[As expected of you, you can think of cruel tricks to harm each other]

　　The pen tip rested on the corner of her mouth, Fumino lowered her dimples and thought seriously for a moment.

　　[What I just said is actually a bit inaccurate. I wanted to confess to Ricchan during the summer temple fair, but I couldn't find a chance. But I do struggle with what will happen to our relationship]

　　She subconsciously wrote a line: "If I date you" and immediately deleted it before she finished writing.

　　[So last night, I told Ricchan my worries. If she and I confess to you, the atmosphere between us might become awkward in the future. I don't want to lose her as a close friend. I'm so sorry...But do you know what she said?]

　　Shinichi looked at the deliberately stimulating words on the note and snorted imperceptibly.

　　[I know]

　　When these two words were said back, Fumino was taken aback, and then she realized it. Shinichi tried to make herself ask why!

　　Isn't Shinichi afraid of being disliked by girls?

　　Absolutely fearless! Very popular bastard!

Fumino wasn't happy, so she continued asking.

　　[If you know, let me tell you. What did she say?]

　　Shinichi wrote quickly with a relaxed expression on his face.

　　[Study comes first. We are candidates, and we have goals that we must work to achieve. We don't have the energy to fall in love at all. Also, Fumino, you think too much, why does it feel awkward to like two people? I really like you too Fumino. Did someone say that if two girls like the same boy, they can't be friends with the other girl? This is so unreasonable. Maybe that's what she said]

　　"…"

　　Fumino's hand holding the note trembled slightly, and she turned to Shinichi in astonishment.

　　Shinichi showed a simple smile and pointed to his head to show the difference here.

　　Luckily, Fumino had already lowered her head and started writing those notes, otherwise she would probably be so angry at this guy that she would report him for passing notes to girls in class.

　　[Awesome. You guessed too accurately. Ricchan really said that]

　　[As an educator, give me a little hint. It's just a matter of guessing at this level. By the way, your answer should be: 'Yes, that's right... But Ricchan, don't you feel jealous when you see Asada-san being nice to other girls? Jealousy like that is what caused the rift in our friendship']

　　[It's disgusting to explain in such detail! The tone simulation is so disgusting!]

　　Completely overwhelmed by the word disgusting, Shinichi lowered his head weakly. The hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and the words he wrote revealed a sense of gloom.

　　[Okay, what happens next? Have you been persuaded by Rizu and no longer care about the triangle relationship?]

　　 Fumino glanced at him from a distance, her face as red as an apple blossom.

　　[How could I not care? But what Ricchan said also made a lot of sense. If you like him, you'll like him. What we have to do will not change. Now we have to focus on our future careers! We must eliminate any possibility that hinders us from achieving our goals!]

　　[Very good, that's her determination]

　　[So, just change Asada-san to Asada-chan and I'll be fine!]

　　[No way it's okay!]
