Post War Echoes Again

　　 Furuhashi suppressed her heartbeat.

　　"Why suddenly ask this?"

　　"Asada-san and I are just normal classmates. I really don't hate it, but if I like him..."

　　"En, that's good." Ichika showed an inexplicable smile, looking at Furuhashi with a sly look in her eyes, "Do you remember what I told you before? Said I told Shinichi-kun I'm very interested, I want to get to know him..."

　　"I still remember..." Not only did she remember, but Furuhashi still remembered it very clearly.

　　"After experiencing many things with Shinichi-kun, my mind changed."

　　Under Furuhashi's shocked gaze, Ichika spoke quietly.

　　"I like him, the kind of liking between the opposite sex, the kind of liking that makes me want to be his girlfriend."

　　"If you don't have those kinds of feelings for him, I can chase after him without hesitation, right? After all, if friends liked the same person, it would be really embarrassing."

　　"By the way, I know a super good crepe shop, next time I invite you to eat it, please keep it a secret for me~ I want to surprise Shinichi-kun. "

　　After finishing speaking, Ichika blinked, her face flushed, she looked shy, and she also had the secret joy of sharing secrets, like a good pair of sisters, she held Furuhashi's hand tighter.

　　Furuhashi was stunned, and she didn't answer.

Ichika narrowed her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved up.

　　--Conspiracy.

　　[Love is war.]

　　This point, Ichika never forgot.

　　She also didn't forget the scene where Shinichi pushed aside and ignored them because of the relationship with Furuhashi and Ogata.

　　Even if it's their own fault, Ichika will still feel disappointed when she sees the person she likes ignores her because of another girl. Actually Furuhashi also likes Shinichi, but he always uses classmates as an excuse.

　　So, while observing them in the Sakura Pavilion, Ichika couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

　　—What if one day, Furuhashi faced a heart like hers, plucked up courage different from hers, and confessed to Shinichi?

　　With Shinichi's concern for the two of them, coupled with Furuhashi's charm, the possibility of receiving that acknowledgment would be very high.

　　This worry had existed since Ichika had first met her, but now that old issues were brought up again, the sense of crisis had increased greatly.

　　Thinking about this, Ichika decided to do something again like "labeling" at the start, to ensure the smooth development of her relationship with Miku.

　　Indeed, she cannot openly express her feelings for Shinichi and her sister. Even Miku, if she didn't hear the confession, Ichika might still be hypnotizing her now, sticking to her "good friend" identity and not daring to make a move, for fear of causing family discord.

　　But thanks to Miku, the shackles in her heart have been loosened a bit, and now Ichika is willing to face this relationship, and she can also frankly tell others that she likes Shinichi.

　　She is an older sister, but also a girl chasing love.

　　Because she's worried about her younger sister, she doesn't dare to pursue someone openly and honestly, and always reminds herself that she can't take any boy her younger sister likes, even if her younger sister agrees.

　　But when she meets another rival in love...

　　Huh, who really cares! If you hesitate, you will lose, and if you soften your heart, you will regret it. Ichika isn't the sister of all of Japan, so why should she keep her rival in the mood?

　　Can a boyfriend or something be given to a friend? What's more, the friendship between her and Furuhashi is not very deep, maybe as thin as paper, and can be penetrated by guilt right away.

　　Therefore, for the sake of herself and her little sister, Ichika doesn't hesitate to use some little tricks. This is always done in TV dramas, she must be doing it right.

　　Ichika looked at Furuhashi, hardening her heart.

　　"Well, don't mind too much! If Fumino really likes Shinichi-kun one day, just tell me directly, I will surrender and bless you both."

　　[Reverse Psychology – Say you don't mind but can't not, say you can like it but dare not really like it.]

　　[Alarm Response— Even if he really likes her, since she is so honest, Fumino might guiltily tell her, and then she can react immediately, and won't wait for the other party to start attacking.]

Furuhashi said with a forced smile.

　　"I don't have to like him... There's no point in losing a friend who likes me to a heterosexual that can be seen everywhere."

　　Then Ichika turned around gracefully, leaving Furuhashi and speaking to Shinichi in front of her.

　　Furuhashi stopped, arms hanging down by her sides.

　　"It's not worth it..."

　　Furuhashi looked at Ogata whose thoughts were as pure and transparent as glass——

　　(If Asada-san gets robbed, Ricchan will be very sad, right?)

　　(Ricchan relies heavily on Asada-san, when she was studying with him last time, the topic of conversation was also about Asada-san, and she said that she would bring a new board game to play with everyone...)

　　"Ricchan, what should I do..."
