Do I look like a disgruntled beast?

　　After going through "morning practice", apology meetings and other festive events, they finished their breakfast and started the day's work.

　　"Check the lights by the lake. Even though the focus of the bonfire party was on the square, there would definitely be people who wanted to come here for a secret date. In that case, there should be enough light to prevent them from falling into the lake. Our school has had enough couples who have died in accidents."

　　"No, how can that be exaggerated..."

　　"It's really not exaggerated, I'm just kidding, it's fine."

　　"Your dead serious face doesn't look funny at all."

　　"Tsk... Have you confirmed the equipment on stage? You will be hosting the party then. If you mess up, the entire 2nd years will watch your joke, Nino."

　　"Don't worry, who do you think I am? Trivial problems like this have been solved. But don't you really need a light here?"

　　"The bonfire is bright enough. The sun set that day at 6:43 p.m., and the bonfire lighting ceremony took place at 6:30 p.m. It can be perfectly connected to the time when the fire is most raging, and the evacuation will start before the burns are over."

　　"Asada-san, all the materials for making the bonfire are here, as well as fuel and diesel!"

　　"Thank you, Yotsuba."

　　"Miku, please ensure that you cannot use inferior products. You've also seen cases of bonfire collapses at Texas A&M University, so you should know what to watch for."

　　"Checked yesterday... All clear."

　　"I had to check again that day. It's always right to confirm this kind of thing again and again… What about the repercussions?"

　　"Everything is ready except opportunity."

　　"Now. Then Itsuki…"

　　In this way, they were busy all morning, and they took a short break after 11 o'clock in the afternoon. The quintuplets return home to sleep, and after Shinichi enters the cabin.

　　Until 11:30 pm, Shinichi went to wake them up. After having lunch together, they packed their luggage, and Ebata had just arrived.

　　Due to the bad behavior of these guys in the morning, Shinichi makes the decision to cancel the originally scheduled game trip plans regardless of how much money is left.

　　He couldn't allow them to develop the bad notion of 'I'm a cute girl, even if I eavesdrop on other people's chats, I can be forgiven if I look cute'.

　　Although they can also ignore Shinichi, just play with them alone.

　　Both the car and the driver belong to their family, and the quintuplets have no shortage of financial support. At first, Shinichi was an outsider, having no right to speak at all... But when they were swept by Shinichi's serious gaze like an elder, the quintuplets didn't dare raise any objections to this arbitrary decision, so they all got into the car obediently and headed straight home.

　　In the car, the quintuplets get bored and start playing cards, playing cards. The atmosphere in the car became more cheerful, and laughter and energy echoed in the back seats.

　　For Shinichi...

　　For some reason, the driver kindly asked him to sit in the front, so he could only chat with the old man while looking at the scenery passing outside the window.

　　...It must be gossip, it's true.

　　"Asada-kun, you have worked hard these two days."

　　Ebata said with a smile: "Ojou-sama shouldn't be causing you trouble, right? They have not been in charge of this kind of school activity since they were young. Master and I are really worried that they won't be able to adapt."

　　"You worry too much. Even though their academic performance is not satisfactory, the attitude, enthusiasm, and responsiveness of the five of them is the best among the people I know in Shuchi'in Academy."

　　Shinichi responded politely.

　　The quintuplets in the back were having fun playing cards, and the conversation between the two in front wasn't too loud, so Shinichi let go of his embarrassment and complimented them.

　　Even if the other party is just a driver, he represents the father of the Nakano family. Of course, Shinichi wouldn't be so stupid as to say that the quintuplets were incompetent.

　　As for whether the quintuplets were really as great as he said... After all, Shinichi didn't know many people in Shuchi'in Academy, except for the student council members, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the best.

　　"Oh, that's great, Ojou-sama can grow up, I'm happier than anything else!" Sure enough, Ebata laughed, "By the way, last night, who did Asada-kun sleep with?"

　　"Last night?" Shinichi remembered what happened under the silver starry night, and before he could think of the word 'sleep', a name called out, "Yotsu..."

　　He suddenly trembled.

　　Why is it suddenly getting a little cold?

　　He looked at the air conditioner in the car, wanted to remind the driver to turn off the air conditioner, but for some reason, when he saw the old driver's face with a very friendly smile, he got goosebumps.

　　This feeling...

　　In the past, Fumino had also threatened him with such a coercive domain, which made him lie.

　　But now, Shinichi didn't know what he said was wrong to anger the old man — Wait!

　　Shinichi's eyes widened, and his expression changed.

　　The problem shouldn't be what he said, but what questions the driver asked! How sleep?

　　Did even the people in the Nakano family think that he would attack the quintuplets?

　　Although it cannot be denied, there is a possibility...

　　After all, he wasn't a saint, and when he was associating with them, he would often have charming thoughts and think some messy things, but that was something he would apply exactly when he made a decision one day.

　　Now, even if he found a girl lying naked on his bed, he would just cover her with a blanket, leaving.

　　He said calmly.

　　"I didn't hear what you asked clearly just now, so let me say it again – I live in cabin No. 1, and the five of them lived in cabin No. 2. Last night, Yotsuba and I were talking about business matters outside of cabin No. 1. Around 1 p.m., she was asked to return to cabin No. 2 to sleep."

　　"If you don't believe me, you can ask her personally. "

　　"…Sorry, this old man doesn't doubt what you say." Ebata took back the hand that was about to open the storage box, and said after pondering for a moment, "Only returned after 1 a.m. It's still a bit late... Sorry, Asada-kun, I don't mean to blame you, but a woman at this age, staying up late isn't good for development..."

　　"Yes, I will urge them not to sleep late..." Shinichi nodded.

　　"No, you don't have to worry about this, I will tell the master." For some reason, Shinichi could see his strong desire to reject his smile.

　　"...Okay, then I'll trouble you." Shinichi tried to keep his tone as polite as possible.

　　Then, to settle the matter once and for all, he simply spoke to Ebata about their itinerary for the past two days and what the quintuplets did along the way, and pointed out that he had always maintained proper distance between male and female.

　　Shinichi got out of the car safely, and the quintuplets were also brought home afterward, and the pre-event site survey was successfully completed.

　　There are still three days left before the official opening of the forest school.
