This is the traditional tradition of the Nakano family!

　　Afternoon.

　　Shinichi seldom eats bento in class, and seldom chats with Naruyuki and Fuutarou, and exchanges grades.

　　Nariyuki seems to have found a way. Not only is the value still good, but the things recommended by VIPs are also on the right track. After the midterms, he was full of excitement and anticipation for the future.

　　As for Fuutarou, he plans to start looking for a new tutoring job during the period after his final exams, he has found a target and will be having an interview after school.

　　It was said that the 'master' was a cute boy who was afraid of strangers, so parents wanted to find a male student of the same age to tutor him. After all, it's easier to get along with people of the same sex, and there won't be any puppy love problems.

　　Although it's not as big as 5,000 yen each time for the quintuplets, but the pay is still generous, Fuutarou is bound to get this job, and keeps saying that he'll teach 'do it when it's cute' that he's never met before. Let Shinichi see his teaching ability, the students he teaches can definitely beat the quintuplets.

　　In this regard, Shinichi not only strongly agrees, but also wants to recommend him some manga where male students and male teachers live in harmony. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't read them, but his mom loves them!

　　Unfortunately, one day he was sorting through books at home, curious about his mother's reading hobby, and his memory and eyes were irreparably damaged, and he made a poisonous vow in his heart from then on.

　　—I can't be the only one who sees this kind of thing!

　　If he had the chance, he should let other people join the grand event, blind their eyes, and go to hell together!

　　So he plans to pack up all the manga and send them to Fuutarou tomorrow, even if his mother rips the skin off. He was looking forward to how Fuutarou would treat cute male students after reading the manga. If this opened a door to a new world, he would also bless them.

　　Yes, this is friendship between men.

　　And speaking of friendship, when the three of them were chatting, Shinichi also found something strange.

Fuutarou always looked at him hesitantly to speak, but didn't speak in the end.

　　Until the bento was finished and Shinichi left the classroom, he could still feel the other party's gaze on his back, and a sinister feeling emerged spontaneously.

　　"This guy, he must have woken up himself before showing that manga..."

　　 Shinichi once again seriously thought about his plan to keep his distance from Fuutarou. Otherwise, if he continued like this, he was afraid that one day this gloomy man would challenge him, such as the one who scored lower in the next exam, and whoever lost would have to comply with the victor's request.

　　Shit, if something like this happened, he would have asked Yotsuba to throw Fuutarou off the roof. He wasn't strong enough alone, and he had to ask Yotsuba for help.

　　Carrying an empty bento, Shinichi went to the sink to wash the dishes.

　　When he passed the corner of the stairs piled with sundries, his body suddenly tilted, one hand grabbed his collar, with a lot of force, he was directly pulled into a dark pile of sundries!

　　"?!"

　　Shinichi was filled with panic. He thought it was a joke, but Fuutarou couldn't help it so fast?

　　The pepper spray is still in the school bag, damn it!

　　When did Fuutarou ambush there? Secret passage? Is this an anticipated crime?

　　Moreover, there was a corridor with people going in and out, and Fuutarou had very boldly chosen this moment to attack. Is there a secret weapon that can threaten him and guarantee he won't scream?

　　How was evidence destroyed? How to deal with it so that he is not found out by the school?

　　Who owns the keys to the chemistry classroom now.

　　After less than ten seconds, Shinichi went from panicked to calm, starting to think about a special method to destroy corpses.

　　He needed an assistant to help him dispose of the bodies, but to be honest, he really didn't want to drag Yotsuba down. After all, it was his grudge with Fuutarou, and it wasn't good to involve the pure and kind Yotsuba, but Shinichi didn't know anyone else who could be trusted and helped.

　　"Asada-san!"

　　A voice from behind made Shinichi recover from his thoughts to run away.

　　"Yotsuba?"

　　When Shinichi was about to turn his head, his body was pushed by an enormous force, and his back was forced to lean against the wall, cold and hard.

　　"Hey, you really—"

Before the two could say anything, he met Yotsuba's eyes in the darkness.

　　He was aware of the fact that he was being intercepted by Yotsuba in such a hidden place.

　　Then his first reaction wasn't to ask a question hesitantly, or to keep his distance from her.

　　Instead, he complained in his heart.

　　(You Nakano, why do you guys like Kabedon so much!)

　　(Believe it or not, in the future, whoever is against me, I will kiss it face to face, show me some morals!)

　　"Asada-san..."

　　Yotsuba swallowed hard, her voice trembling with embarrassment, which didn't match her usual personality.

　　"I came to apologize!"

　　(Hello, may I ask the Nakano family's apology method is kabedon?)

　　(First of all, apologize for slamming me all of a sudden, idiot!)

　　If Yotsuba in front of him wasn't really guilty, Shinichi really wanted to teach her like this.

　　"...What are you apologizing for? You didn't do anything to apologize to me before ten seconds ago."

　　Shinichi suppressed his anger, leaning against the wall, so it didn't look like he was being slammed into the wall.

　　He was too lazy to push Yotsuba's hand away, like when Nino did the kabedon in the alley.

　　Which normal man is used to receiving Kabedon?

　　"Asada-san should have seen my grades, right?"

　　Shinichi kept complaining inside his heart, but Yotsuba's mood was heavy.

　　She lowered her head, her headband down languidly, and her neck-length hair hid her expression.

　　"To help me learn while running, you specifically run a few extra laps at a time, so even if the number of exercises is reached, you don't stop.'

　　"Obviously you are so tired that you can barely run anymore, but you still follow me all the time, read formulas and texts to me, and let me rest with you after you almost fall, and then continue to teach me to study."

　　"Obviously you have worked very hard, but I have stood still."

　　"Obviously everyone has moved forward, and obviously I ask you to tutor me in my studies."

　　"But only I, who thwarted your efforts. "

　　The guilt in Yotsuba's heart grew stronger.

　　Now is the time to apologize, not pretend to be pathetic!

　　She took two steps back, raised her head and looked at Shinichi.

　　Then bend ninety degrees.

　　"Sorry! During this period of time, you have wasted your energy!"

　　She said this sentence sincerely.

　　"...Is that so?"

　　Shinichi left the wall and glanced at the crowd outside. Luckily, no one noticed that there were two people chatting in strange poses in this pile of rubble. Otherwise, how could he be in the mood to talk to Yotsuba?

　　After making sure that no one was watching, Shinichi walked to her side, and took a green headband.

　　It's just that he pulled itself up, and he pulled Yotsuba's head.

　　"I don't know what to say about you… Are you really as stupid as a rabbit, or do you think it would be happier to think about this kind of thing every day?"

　　Releasing his hand, he turned and walked out.

　　"Come here, while there is still time for lunch break, the sunshine will make you more energetic."

　　"...You want to run?"

　　Yotsuba tilted her head.

　　Running does make her happier than basking in the sun.

　　She could guess what Shinichi was thinking now.

　　So...

　　"Absolutely not! I just finished eating."

　　Shaking the bento box in his hand, Shinichi refused her.
