Record of Dating with Quintuplets (3)

　　When Shinichi came out of the men's room, his face was still wet, but his expression was very calm.

　　"My acting skills are very good."

　　Having selectively ignored the embarrassing reactions that followed, Shinichi wiped his face and candidly praised himself.

　　[Useless bit of knowledge: the shame reaction, referring to the outburst syndrome that occurs after the embarrassment explodes. Physically, there will be myocardial infarction (similar), Parkinson's disease (similar), brain congestion, blood and other phenomena. Psychologically there will be symptoms like world fatigue, self-loathing, and anti-social.]

　　Objectively speaking, the alternative psychological suggestions he found after studying psychology are very mature, and he can change his way of thinking in a conscious state, his level is already at the stage drama level. It is estimated that he can directly transfer to becoming an actor.

　　Yes, this is the power of learning. As long as physiological conditions allow, nothing is impossible to learn!

　　And subjectively...

Well, he wants to die.

　　Because the process is so simple, the backlash after self-hypnosis will be more intense.

　　Before going to the toilet to cool off, Shinichi really felt his face was starting to turn red.

　　And this behavior has a side effect, he doesn't know how to deal with Nino...

　　(Ah, I'm so embarrassed, I really want to bang my head to death under the faucet.)

　　Shinichi fell into self-loathing that couldn't be released, and took a moment to calm down, and walked back to the clothing store.

　　If he continued to care about this matter, it would become even more embarrassing. Better to turn initiative into passive. Let's see how Nino reacts first, and then he will respond.

　　On the way, the crowd gradually increased. Shinichi looked at it and found that there was a shop on this floor that was having an event. Under the mall broadcast, a stream of people started to gather here, and he was surrounded by shoulders, so he could only avoid it carefully.

　　Even so, it wasn't long before he was run over by someone.

　　"Ah..."

　　A low whisper sounded, and her petite figure carried a gentle fragrance. A girl with slightly curly blue-purple hair pushed by the crowd,

　　Shinichi quickly took a step back, kept the proper distance, assisted, and asked politely.

　　"Are you okay?"

　　"It's okay..." She slowly raised her head, blinked her red eyes and her cold voice reached Shinichi's ear at the same time.

　　"Sorry, I was blocked by the people in front and didn't see you."

　　"No problem, you can go to a corner to hide for a bit, and wait for the crowd to dissipate before moving forward." Shinichi pointed to the side, and after nodding, he had no intention of chatting with the girl. So he went around the corner, followed the crowd and continued on to the clothing store.

　　The girl stood there like this, ignoring the crowd that used to pass by, with a poker face facing the direction Shinichi left without moving, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

　　"I always feel like I've seen him somewhere…"

　　At this time, a familiar voice came from beside her.

　　"Rui, I finally found you!"

　　"Hina Onee-san..." Tachibana Rui was neither surprised nor pleased, but half-closed her eyes, and said coldly to the mature woman who was resting on her shoulder with a relieved look on her face.

　　"Please don't run around without your phone? I've been looking for you for a long time."

　　"Ahaha, I was in a hurry to go to the toilet, and I didn't do it on purpose~" Tachibana Hina scratched the back of her head, laughing perfunctorily rather than heartily, "By the way, why are you standing here? There are a lot of people, you like to be squeezed?"

　　"I don't have that kind of weird interest." After lightly answering, she kept looking at the place where Shinichi had left, "I just met a very familiar person…"

　　"Eh? Who's that?" Hina asked curiously, and patted her head, and was slapped by Rui.

　　"That's because I didn't know I was confused… Forget it, let's go, find a corner to hide in and wait for the crowd to disperse."

　　"Yeah, that's a good idea~ Ah, by the way, Rui, mom just called and said that she's going overseas for summer vacation, and let us stay with a cousin, who happens to be in this town."

　　"We're not kids anymore..."

　　"We are girls after all, so it's only natural for mom to worry~"

　　"Ok, I get it."

　　"I remember living there long ago, right? About ten years ago… I guess I'm still having fun with the boys over there?"

　　Rui's footsteps stopped: "... Are you going to live with a boy?"

　　Hina waved her hand: "Don't worry. I heard from uncles and aunts that our cousins are very kind and polite. He neglected everything but his studies. Nothing will happen if we stay for the summer vacation."

　　Rui just nodded silently, with a slightly doubtful expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

　　...

　　Shinichi returned to the clothing store, and after standing at the door for a while, the quintuplets each carried a bag.

　　He put the cell phone back in his pocket and spoke quietly to the five of them.

　　"Are you done shopping? Let's go to the next shop, where you can buy the items on the list."

　　The atmosphere became slightly awkward in his sharp words.

　　Ichika hid her bag behind her back, humming as if nothing had happened.

Miku looked at the bag in her hand, then at him, her rosy face slightly doubtful

　　Yotsuba put the hat she had just bought on her head back.

Itsuki on the other hand, lowered her head and apologized honestly.

　　"Sorry, once I came to this shop, I could only shop as usual... Please let me buy a drink to apologize..."

　　"Then you owe me two cans of drink." Shinichi sighed helplessly, but didn't mean to blame them, "Forget it, I found it interesting to shop at a clothing store, no one would be mad about it. ..."

　　"Liar." Nino suddenly interrupted his words.

　　Shinichi looked at her.

　　Nina placed her hands on her hips, lifted her chest, stared with piercing eyes, her expression no different from usual.

　　It seemed she decided to treat the incident just now as if it had never happened… Fortunately, she was a smart person.

　　Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked calm on the surface, immediately ignoring Nino's gaze.

　　"Even though there are more people, if you don't leave, it will be dark by the time we get back?"

　　The quintuplets nodded, and after discussing with them, Nino led the team again and headed to the second shop.

　　Miku looked at Nino, and suddenly asked suspiciously: "Nino, why is your face red?"

　　Nino combed her long hair and said calmly.

　　"It's just a side effect of acting, don't worry about it."

　　"Acting skills?" Miku was stunned.

　　Nino didn't answer, just walked slowly and kept walking forward
