Trap

　　On the way, Nariyuki saw Shinichi, he walked over with a happy face.

　　"Shinichi, I finally found you."

Shinichi gave him a strange look: "What do you want from me?"

　　"Yes." Don't know why, but Nariyuki had a subtle expression on his face, "Someone said they wanted to talk to the person in charge of the Forest School Committee about her activities. But she didn't know who was in charge, so she asked me for help… Shinichi, are you free now?"

　　"I'm free..." Shinichi felt something was wrong.

　　If his brain was as sharp as ever now, perhaps he would immediately find a loophole in Nariyuki's statement.

　　However, in a state of exhaustion after working out and all the cells in his body on vacation, Shinichi was truly too lazy to bother him. After all, this place is not far from the lake. If there's something to do, just go there.

　　"Okay, what kind of person is that? Male or female? Are there any clear features? Did you leave the call?" Shinichi asked.

　　"I told her about your appearance, and she will greet you once you arrive at the lake. After all, you have something to ask for…"

　　Seemingly looking for an excuse to cover up his true intentions, Nariyuki looked as suspicious as Yotsuba just now.

　　Shinichi narrowed his eyes, Nariyuki tried to pretend to be righteous, but he felt even more guilty.

　　"...Understood, then I will go there."

　　Shinichi turned around and stepped forward, throwing harsh words in an even tone.

　　"By the way, if I find out that you are fooling me, setting me up, or tempting me, I will tell you what private use of public property, abuse of power, and sorrow of a hierarchical society means."

　　"What..." Nariyuki's face turned pale, and he half stretched out his trembling hand to stop him, but a sound from his ear made him stop.

　　(Yuiga-san, isn't there a better reason? You are asking for your own death.)

　　Through the bluetooth earphones, Kashima, the Thorn Club president, said helplessly to him.

　　"I couldn't help it, I was suddenly asked to lie to my friend..." Seeing Shinichi leave, pressing the earphones with his fingertips, Nariyuki said without tears.

　　"And why did you let the two of them date? Shinichi has his own date schedule, so don't do anything, just hoping they'll be quiet after the day is over... Isn't this an exaggeration?"

　　"Oh, you're still too naive..." Kashima said patiently, as if she was teaching her stupid little brother what the adult world was.

　　"Firstly, we asked the experts to analyze Asada-san's psychology, and judged that he wasn't the type who would carry out such behavior… A forest where no one was around, let alone said to do things any further, so your intelligence is basically useless."

　　"Is that so..." Nariyuki blushed.

　　"Secondly, even if he really wanted to ask Princess Furuhashi out alone, it would be during or at the end of the bonfire party, but there's a high chance she'd be invited by the quintuplets... Specific information on this was already sent to It's in box. your letter, see when you have time."

　　"Oh..." The corners of Nariyuki's mouth twitched.

　　"The most important thing is that according to our analysis, the quintuplets are busy with their own business right now, and Asada-san is in the interval between rest and exhaustion, and only needs someone as gentle as an angel to come over. Hang out with him, then this moment is the best time to step back and let things heat up quickly."

　　"What should I do after that… He will definitely kill me."

　　"Don't worry, we won't forget any of the Thorn Club members who sacrificed for Princess Furuhashi."

　　Despite Nariyuki's desperate sigh, Kashima spoke calmly.

　　"You've done a good job, leave the next thing to us. "

　　"If Princess Furuhashi doesn't take the initiative, we will create opportunities for them to interact intimately!"

　　△

　　After walking a few steps without thinking, Shinichi's IQ returned along with his physical strength.

　　Therefore, when he saw Fumino at the entrance of the lake and found him looking around as if she was waiting for someone, he knew that she was definitely trapped.

　　Luckily, Shinichi lacked courage and motivation, so someone else must have manipulated him into making him and Fumino meet here.

　　In order to confirm this guess, after greeting Fumino, he immediately asked.

　　"Furuhashi, were you summoned here?"

　　"Eh?" Fumino was shocked, "Right, I found an envelope on the table in the cabin, saying that there was something important to tell me, let me come to the lake… Ah! Could it be Asada-san—"

　　Before she finished speaking, Fumino shook her head and denied: "No, although the handwriting is somewhat similar, but I wouldn't mistake it for Asada-san's handwriting, it's just an imitation..."

　　She and Shinichi looked at each other, and tacit understanding made them both nod at the same time.

　　"I live with Inomori-san, Kashima-san, Chono-san, Itsuki..."

　　"I heard they're secretly making some kind of Thorn Club?" Shinichi sneered, and his eyes became dangerous.

　　"I didn't expect that in this peaceful and peaceful academy, there would be an illegal organization targeting me, and they would not hesitate to use a few of my friends as bargaining chips to make a play for me. .. Hehehe, things are getting interesting..."

　　"Ahahaha..."

　　Fumino laughed as usual, her heart like a mirror, knowing that she was covering up her embarrassment.

　　For two people with sharp minds— "In order to win us over, the Thorn Club will do these inexplicable things"— It was an outcome that could easily be obtained after a little thought.

　　Moreover, they really felt the atmosphere in the classroom, but they all ignored the past, and no one would take the initiative to bring it up.

　　It would be embarrassing anyway, and it would also affect the mentality of getting along between the two. If they wanted to chat without inhibition as usual, they had no choice but to play dumb.

　　Facing the Thorn Club that had suddenly arrived, the tacit understanding of playing the fool was forced to show that Fumino was quite shy as well.

　　But during the day, she had already made up such a determination, and confessed that she really liked Shinichi, even though she didn't show it, but in fact... She was embarrassed, and was a little grateful to the Thorn Club.

　　Of course, don't get me wrong, she had no intention of taking love from Rizu.

　　If Rizu was still awake, Fumino would immediately call her, and never monopolize Shinichi... Too bad she was too tired climbing the mountain and fell asleep, so it wasn't easy to wake her up.

　　(It can't be helped, let me accept everyone's kindness now!)

　　When Rizu woke up, she had to think of other ways to compensate her.

　　As for Shinichi, he is so embarrassed that he wants to run away after being arranged by someone else without permission.

　　No need for analysis, but based on Fumino's observation of Shinichi, he must be panicking by now.

　　Sure enough, after the appearance of the big boss, Shinichi's next sentence was: "Since this is a misunderstanding, I will go back and continue working, Furuhashi, you—"

　　"Hey, Asada-san, are you free next?"

　　Fumino looked away and interrupted his words.

　　Shinichi was stunned to see Fimono's face slowly stained with red.

　　"Y-Yes, what's wrong?"

　　"Then..." Fumino nervously conveyed the invitation.

　　"Why don't we go to the lake and take a walk?"
