That Stupid
Shuchi'in Academy's arrogance is indeed beyond imagination. The dishes on the dinner buffet were all high end ingredients that an ordinary person like Shinichi would never eat several times in his life.
With a learning attitude, Shinichi specially took a serving of scallops, lobster, abalone, caviar, foie gras, oysters, oysters, donkey meat, etc., and ended up eating almost every dish on the table.
Fortunately, the hallmark of haute cuisine is deliciousness, and deliciousness keeps people from feeling full, so he can try something new again after the barbecue at noon. Of course, he had been nauseous so many times, he had to thank himself again for his incredible willpower.
Compared to French snails and raw beef, he prefers to eat miso curry made by his mother. It feels very uncomfortable to swallow something that doesn't taste good.
Sure enough, high-grade ingredients only eat up the atmosphere, and humans can live on white rice.
Fruits that are famous and expensive in Japan are also available free of charge, so Shinichi finished his meal, packed up a plate of fruit, sat and rested by the campfire, and looked around.
So far no accidents have occurred, everything is going according to plan, and the students are also enjoying the bonfire party atmosphere.
This was a good thing, he was relieved, but he didn't let down his vigilance.
Because for him, the next step is the actual drama.
According to the process, after all the club performances are over, there will be a folk dance around the bonfire. After dancing and singing the school song, the bonfire will suddenly go out, and this will be the kick off.
At that time, all light would be gone, and the world would be engulfed in darkness. Unfortunately, the stars and moon were hidden behind the dark clouds tonight, and it was impossible to look at the beauty of the starry sky, so they prepared a second plan.
That is so that students close their eyes and calm their minds, and feel a peace and serenity that is different from nature and the city. After three minutes, the lights would come back on, and disbandment would be announced. Everyone can return to the cabin to shower and sleep.
It's a plan co-developed with the quintuplets, and surprises Shinichi's fireworks sandwiched between disappearing lights and closing eyes to feel nature. At that time, he would let them see the so-called spark that was brighter than a star.
Thinking of this, Shinichi looked forward to it, and put the melon into his mouth.
He didn't see the quintuplets while he was eating, and he didn't know where they had gone. Meanwhile Fumino and Rizu chatted with a strange girl in a white lab coat.
With no one to accompany him, Shinichi is rarely alone.
Do you think it's happy to be accompanied by a beautiful girl every day?
Shinichi could only say that after getting used to it, he would prefer alone time.
Feeling the heat of the fire radiating from three meters away, Shinichi was contemplating whether to confirm the preparations for extinguishing the 10th bonfire, when suddenly someone was beside him.
"Didn't you eat too much? It's been like that during the day, and you haven't been fed?"
The girl immediately took out his bamboo stick, cut a piece of peach and put it in her mouth.
"Delicious, thanks for the hospitality... Huh? Why are you angry?"
Seeing Shinichi, Nino cut a piece of pineapple and put it in her mouth.
"Don't worry about trivial things like that. It's rare to have a pretty girl personally serve you."
Shinichi looked at her with a confused expression on his face.
Even though he was confused, he didn't let Nino feed him. Took the bamboo stick, and ate the fruit on it in one bite.
"…Your commanding mission should have ended long ago."
After eating, put the fruit plate on the ground between the two of them, Shinichi asked.
"Is there Sensei seeking your help?
Nino raised her eyebrows.
"You really care about me?"
"It's fine if you don't want to say it, I don't care even if you go."
"Hmph, I didn't say I didn't want to."
Nino placed her hands at her sides, looked up at the starless night sky, and tapped the ground with her heel.
"I just had some roasted pasta and rice, so I went to check the audio, lighting, and communication equipment with the baths. The hot water is running… Anyway, just running around, it's fine."
Shinichi frowned slightly.
"It doesn't matter? You sit down and rest?"
Nino tilted her head and smiled lightly.
"Now."
"...Really hard work."
"You have no right to say that about me."
Shinichi looked away.
He always felt that Nino's attitude was a bit strange, seemed more direct and gentler than usual.
Nino eats the fruit with Shinichi's bamboo stick.
"By the way, Asada... Let me make an analogy. It's just an analogy. Do not worry about it."
"Okay, I'll lower my IQ to the same level as yours, so I won't be able to think, let alone socialize."
Shinichi nodded, and an elbow strike came as expected in the next second.
This is the real Nino. Not some mutant alien superpower that replaces her. This method of angles and attacks has been firmly ingrained in Shinichi's body memory during this month's intercourse.
However, the intensity is still a bit lighter, apparently because Nino is now more serious than usual.
"For example, in the same soil, there are five… A group of seeds are planted in it, watered with the same water, absorbed with the same nutrients, and all germinate and develop together."
"The same growth, the same branch, although there is no way to grow taller than other land plants, but at least they are very happy to have the same family by their side, and think that this kind of beauty will last forever."
When Nino was talking about a paragraph, Shinichi interjected with accuracy: "There's too much pile up. When making an analogy, the numbers need to be more accurate. I think five is good."
Nino stared at him for a few seconds, then turned her head helplessly, "Five on five, anyway, don't sweat it."
Shinichi asked: "Then do you want to number these five seeds? One, two, three, four, five or something?"
Nino supported her face with one hand, and smiled very sweetly: "People who push the boundaries usually don't live long?"
"Stupid numbers and stuff, so be it. Continue."
Nino hugged her knees and muttered.
"…Tsk, for a guy like you, any girl who likes you is just asking for it."
It was as if Shinichi didn't hear her, and he didn't dare to complain about her words.
He was attracted to many women, and there were so many people who wanted to make fun of himself, what could he do? He also... Not too desperate.
"Then let me continue... Don't interrupt."
Nino regained her composure and cleared her throat.
"However, as one would wish, as time passed, the five plants eventually changed. Everyone is gradually different from the past, and everyone has become very strange… Although they are still family members, they are not quite the same as before."
"Everyone changes, for better or for worse."
Shinichi listened silently.
"Until one day, a cover suddenly appeared, blocking the growth of the plants. They need to be stronger and more mature to break through the cover and keep stretching their branches and leaves towards the blue sky."
As Nino spoke, she laughed at herself.
"The other sister... Has become different from the past. They face new challenges, don't run away, don't panic, but use the 'current self' to deal with the 'current problem'."
"Whether it is cover or whatever, there is absolutely no problem for those who have put away the past! It's only a matter of time!"
"There is only one stupid left, who wants to rely on the 'past self' and 'them in the past' to prove that even without changing and being different from the past, the 'present matter' can be penetrated."
"Stupids have the pride of being stupids, but they also have the ways of stupids. It's perfect to stick to one's own ideas and be admired by others."
"She wants to prove that her own ideas are correct, to tell the other sisters that change is a mistake, and the true path of progress shouldn't be easily changed—"
Nino raised her index finger and waved it in front of Shinichi.
"That stupid is me."
