Perverted Itsuki

　　When Shinichi saw this painting, he paused for a moment before looking away.

　　Ichika seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity, and a teasing grin emerged from behind the mask.

　　"It's said that you painted this for Miku... How? Are you very touched to see your painting framed so preciously?"

　　Shinichi nodded and put his bag aside.

　　"Of course I'm touched. After all, this is the only work of mine that looks more like painting than graffiti. It might be worth tens of millions of yen or more after my death."

　　"What a dream," Ichika laughed. After thinking about it, she said again.

　　"I heard that Miku started treating you well because of this painting..."

　　A shadow suddenly appeared behind her, and before she could finish her words, the blanket monster that climbed up from the bed swallowed her head, turning the rest of her words into sobs.

　　"I-Ichika...!"

　　"Hmm... Miku, you have a high fever, so take a good rest..."

　　"It's because of you...!"

　　There seemed to be a conversation coming from the squirming blanket.

　　Shinichi pretended not to notice.

　　"A bit hot..."

　　"Besides, we can't turn on the air conditioning. Even if opening the windows to maintain ventilation, the current weather is enough to turn the room into a heater." Itsuki answered her words while placing Shinichi's bag on the table, then brought him a cup of tea.

　　"Please use it. I didn't expect Asada-kun to come so soon."

　　He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but Shinichi always felt her smile was meaningful.

　　"We were only one stop away when we received the message. It won't take long."

　　As he picked up the teacup, his lips came close to her ear, and he spoke in a low voice.

　　"Regarding various rumors and inappropriate use of information, I will take the time to properly 'reply' to you... Hehehehe."

　　Standard villain pout. Under Shinichi's voice control skills, the villain's atmosphere is perfect, and full of evil feelings.

　　Seeing his evil smile so close, Itsuki thought of a certain scene, a blush appeared on her cheeks, she cried out in embarrassment.

　　"A-Asada-kun, what do you want to do to me! That kind of thing… That kind of thing cannot be a punishment…"

　　Her next words were so soft that they couldn't be heard clearly. Shinichi was about to speak when his eyes suddenly dropped.

　　"…I just wanted to ask, why are you covering your breasts?"

　　Itsuki was shocked, and hurriedly put her hands behind her back, looked around, and even her ears became red.

　　"Subconscious reaction... Who made Asada-kun say something so easily misunderstood!"

　　Shinichi raised his eyes: "But I just want to say that I will ask Hina-san to increase your daily homework..."

　　Itsuki put her hands on the floor, and shouted in disbelief.

　　"I-I think so too! I didn't think anything strange, please don't misunderstand!"

　　Miku lay down on the bed and said a word without any fluctuation in her voice.

　　"Itsuki is a pervert."

　　Ichika lowered her mask and took a breath while smiling broadly.

　　"Hmph~ Itsuki sure is a pervert~"

　　Yotsuba hesitated, then gave her a refreshing smile and a thumbs up.

　　"Itsuki, you have reached your age, it is natural to think like this! It doesn't matter!"

Itsuki cried and protested.

　　"I just said that's not it! And aren't we the same age!"

　　"Ha ha ha…..."

　　Yotsuba looked at Shinichi whose smile was guilty.

　　In the end, Itsuki left the room with a puffy face, saying that there were too many people here and couldn't help, so she went back to studying.

　　"Did I say the wrong thing again..."

Shinichi sighed with a complicated expression.

　　"You are not wrong. When the people who persecuted Itsuki were the majority, our behavior was called righteous… If you want to blame her, blame this twisted world."

　　"Shinichi-kun, can you be more simple and easy to understand the next time you comfort someone..."

　　Shinichi covered his ears and walked over to Miku's bed.

　　"Hey, Shinichi-kun, do you want to wipe Miku's sweat?"

　　Ichika handed over the towel with both hands.

　　"We'll leave the room in about thirty minutes... No, come back in an hour. Please help Miku dry all the sweat on her body carefully, otherwise she will catch a cold."

　　 Miku blushed and hid under the blanket. She didn't argue or pounce on her like before.

　　Shinichi glanced at Ichika in disgust.

　　"This is an obvious trap, do you think I will fall for it?"

　　Ichika had known this beforehand and was smiling, but without the embarrassment of being found out, she stood with a towel and basin nearby.

　　"After all, Shinichi-kun is a stubborn guy."

　　Shinichi's mouth twitched: "Are you praising or mocking..."

　　"I'm just kidding~ Actually, I finished wiping sweat a long time ago. Come on down and change the water in the basin. You should talk to Miku first." Ichika smiled a little strangely, and her eyes looked around "We'll come any time, so..."

　　Miku poked her head out from under the blanket and looked at her with a glaring face.

　　Ichika gave up.

　　"Not anymore~ Yotsuba, let's go."

　　"Eh…" Yotsuba was confused by her reaction as she took her hand and walked out the door.

　　After the door closed, only the two of them were left in Miku's room.

　　"…"

　　When two people are alone, silence is the most common opening scene.

　　Shinichi looked at Miku on the bed. Her hair spread across the pillow. Without any headphones, and with her face red and weak.

　　"...Do'nt see."
