Please forgive me

　　Shinichi looked up, and saw a pair of bunny ear headbands emerging from the handrail on the second floor.

　　Obviously after Yotsuba came out to say hello, she didn't return to the room, instead continuing to squat there and eavesdrop on their conversation.

　　This is normal, because he only asked Yotsuba to pretend to be sick. Besides, as long as Rui doesn't notice anything wrong, it doesn't matter what she wants to do.

　　Who told him that Yotsuba wouldn't lie at all? For fear that his plans would change, Shinichi had to let her disappear for a while. He was originally going to get rid of the honest kid, Itsuki, but she promised she would definitely help.

　　Itsuki promises to do it with confidence, Shinichi asks her to get her act together in front of Rui.

　　No, that can't be said to be acting... Because their reactions from now until now are undoubtedly the true thoughts of their hearts.

　　Whether it was seeing Rui showing off her identity as a fake girlfriend, or knowing that his first kiss had been taken away, and she even kissed him three times.

　　Not only a view from the front, but also a view from above.

　　Rui always felt that she was fighting one against four, but now it was the person who was being targeted by the Five Powers.

　　Shinichi still maintained his expression facing the four people.

　　Everything has two sides, good and bad.

　　At least he no longer had to worry about whether he should lie about it when the quints asked him whether he still kept his first kiss or not.

　　Shinichi was distracted for a moment, then returned his attention to the living room of Nakano's house.

　　Nino snorted and looked away, then turned to Rui who had just finished speaking.

　　She thought about what sentence to say. After a while, she spoke in a haughty tone.

　　"I don't know what there is to be proud of if you say something like that after being a girl's ex-boyfriend."

　　Ichika hid her smile, her eyes changed.

　　Her ice blue eyes were stained with the same sharp and cruel look as when she left Shinichi's house yesterday, and sneered.

　　"So obsessed with the first time, Rui-chan is really a cute little girl~ Um, it doesn't matter if I let you taste the sweetness first. After all, the second, third, and many times in the future have nothing to do with you."

　　"…"

　　Shinichi resisted the urge to complain and looked at Miku.

　　"That's…" Even though she was still at home, Miku felt like she was standing on stage.

　　Then she saw the arms of the two people hugging each other tightly. The shadow beneath her medium hair instantly covered her expression, and a pair of emotionless eyes stared at Rui with a sinister cold light.

　　"It's unforgivable to treat Shinichi as if he were your own..."

　　Shinichi got goosebumps, Miku looked so much like the heroine in Midnight Breast Bell, it was kind of scary.

　　Then, Itsuki stabilized her mood, and she recited the lines she had prepared.

　　"I don't have time to participate in your past, but I will accompany you in your future until the end... This is what I want."

　　Unlike the others, she said it to Shinichi.

　　Both her attitude and eyes were as serious as a confession.

　　As soon as those words came out, the atmosphere in the living room fell silent.

　　"…"

　　Shinichi looked away slightly, his face slightly red.

　　The others looked at Itsuki with subtle eyes, but she tilted her head in confusion. After a few seconds, her eyes widened in surprise, and her face turned red.

　　"No, wait, don't get me wrong, I, I... Uh, it's not like that... Wuwu, how to say it..."

　　She wanted to explain that she clearly remembered what Shinichi had asked them to do earlier. The unspeakable feeling made Itsuki even more panicked, and was about to cry without tears. She spoke words that no one could understand.

　　Only Shinichi noticed that Yotsuba on the second floor held up a blackboard with the words "Even if Shinichi-san's lips are stained, you are our most important friend!" Do not be sad!".

　　"…Is this what you wanted to say?"

Rui waited for them to finish speaking, smiled, and used a little force with her hand to gesture.

　　"It seems like just talking about it won't make you give up so easily."

　　Shinichi was still wondering what he wanted to do, so Rui turned around and grabbed his collar.

　　"Wait a moment!"

　　Ichika's eyes widened, she was very familiar with that movement, because she had practiced it several times in her mind, yesterday, she planned to look for an opportunity to attack Shinichi.

　　This chance was ruined by Rui, and now she made that move again… There was barely time to think, her body rushed forward to stop them from getting any closer.
