Fake dating?

　　"Simply put, this is a fake relationship."

　　Rui pulled away, pursed her lips and her voice slowly returned to calm.

　　"This is a plan I made just for you. Please listen carefully before refusing."

　　"…"

　　Shinichi covered his open mouth in embarrassment.

　　This girl really understands it.

　　Rui took the broom from her hand, walked to the corner and put it down.

　　"Everyone already knows that you are very lucky in matters of love. I guess the girls around you are all showing off their skills now, thinking about kidnapping you home as a boyfriend?"

　　"That's too much."

　　Shinichi shook his head and answered without guilt.

　　He wasn't a big star, so how could he have such fanatical fans?

　　Like Nino, she was the one who was actively pursuing him, wasn't he just on the verge of ending the relationship?

　　No one liked him enough to be a yandere, Shinichi wasn't worried about this aspect, he felt relieved but instead regretted it.

　　After all, Nino's statement after that seemed as if he agreed the two would become a couple, and it was up to him to take the initiative to confirm the relationship.

　　"For the rest of my life, please give me your guidance." Even her bold yet timid temptations are bound by oath.

　　Shinichi did not deny it implicitly, nor did he reject her directly.

　　He could imagine Nino jumping happily in front of the cell phone, even though he didn't make any clear promises.

　　To be honest, Shinichi didn't mind having a romantic relationship with Nino at all.

　　Even though he's not ready to fall in love, Shinichi won't feel conflicted and will even be happy when imagining dating scenes with Ichika, Miku, Fumino, and Rizu.

　　Most of them had a good impression of him. That's why Shinichi hesitated until now, and went through the path of love, trying to give them another kind of reward.

　　So for Shinichi, falling in love will only hurt the person he loves.

　　So when he thought about how his relationship with Nino seemed like there was no way out now, he felt depressed.

　　"Even though it's not that exaggerated, you've been worrying about this for a long time. As I said before, all you are doing now is drinking poison to quench your thirst. Sooner or later, bigger problems will occur."

　　Rui didn't look at him. After doing a routine check in the kitchen, she turned off the lights in the living room and stepped into the corridor.

　　Shinichi was surprised.

　　"Why are you bringing this up again?"

　　"Because I found the solution."

　　Rui opened the bathroom door and stepped into the changing room.

　　Shinichi didn't follow her in.

　　"Fake dating is your method? That doesn't sound good. And I also said before that I already have plans regarding quintuplets and others..."

　　"Furuhashi Fumino likes you too."

　　"…"

　　Shinichi's eyes widened in shock, and he didn't know what to say.

　　He turned and looked at the dressing room, then turned around with the fastest movement.

　　Rui took off her clothes, but one of her hands was wrapped in gauze and it was a bit difficult to remove it.

　　Shinichi took a deep breath and pretended to be calm.

　　"Did she say it herself?"

　　"Yes. I also emphasize that it is love between a man and a woman."

　　Rui answered briefly, she was busy struggling with her clothes.

　　Shinichi's mood became complicated. The girl's cheerful and warm smile flashed through his mind, as well as the little things he spent hanging out with her over the past four months.

　　 Fumino liked him... Although it wasn't a surprise, when Shinichi heard this with his own ears, his heart was filled with sweetness.

　　Why did Fumino tell Rui?

　　This didn't seem so important anymore, Shinichi covered his blushing face.

　　"She decided that she no longer likes you and wants to be your best friend for life."

　　Suddenly his chest tightened, Shinichi asked.

　　"What reason?"

　　"You help me take off my clothes. It's so hard to unbutton my underwear with one hand."

　　Rui said in distress.

　　Shinichi nodded and took a step.

　　"I'll go help you call Hina-san. You two can bathe together until the wounds heal."

　　"Okay, then I'll tell Hina Nee-san the reason."

　　 Shinichi stood there silently and said helplessly, "You don't want me to help you take a shower, right?"

　　Rui asked in confusion: "Isn't it normal for fake boyfriends to do this?"

　　"That's not normal, and I don't agree."

　　"Huh, you are really troublesome."

Shinichi said very firmly, "Don't say anything about putting on a blindfold, just help you take off your clothes and don't do anything else. In any case, I will not touch my cousin's naked body, whatever the terms of the exchange."

Rui clicked her tongue, and there was a soft sound as a button was opened, followed by the rustling sound of clothes rubbing together.

　　"Sure enough, all manga are lies. You are more alert than a virgin. Did Virginmon evolve?"

　　"Yeah, it special move is Black Fire Dragon," Shinichi said angrily, "I've basically read all the manga you've read. I'm much more disciplined than those harem manga protagonists. How can I take advantage of you cheaply?"

　　"Then I'll take a shower myself, and you can listen outside."

　　"Can't we go back to the room and talk after you finish showering?"

　　"It makes sense to talk about it now. I don't want to talk about it after a while." Rui opened the bathroom door without closing it, and turned the shower head.

　　"This little devil is deliberate…" Shinichi muttered in a low voice, and then raised his voice, "ˊYou really don't need my help to call Hina-san to help?"

　　"That's just my left hand. It's okay to take a shower."

　　Rui's voice sounded distant and a little blurry because of the hot water, but maybe that was because she turned down the flow of water so the two could hear each other.

　　"Furuhashi Fumino, she decided to give up because too many girls like you."
