Itsuki doesn't want to lose Shinichi at all

　　When the five of them got together with Shinichi, Itsuki was delighted to see that her plan had succeeded beyond her expectations.

　　Even though she doesn't know why Nino wants to dance with Shinichi, she is clearly smart and knowledgeable, and she is no longer stuck in the past.

　　Even though she doesn't know why Ichika and Miku are acting like they want to take Shinichi from Nino, their relationship is back to normal, even more harmonious than before.

　　And for Itsuki, this is even more satisfying than forest school's success.

　　Her goal is to take over the responsibility of the deceased mother, hold everyone's hand, and lead the group of underachievers to a better future.

　　She who was clumsy in the past could never do it, but now, she has studied hard, thought about it, and gained a lot of growth, but she has actually solved her sisters problems and made them change.

　　Things seemed to be getting better than before, and Itsuki was proud.

　　Of course, if it wasn't for Shinichi, her plan wouldn't have been so successful.

　　(Ah, Asada-kun fell.)

　　(Is Asada-kun in danger? And Yotsuba!)

　　Itsuki panicked, the collapse of the bonfire didn't appear in front of her, she only saw Shinichi and her family members lying on the ground, not knowing if they were alive or dead. Her head went blank for a moment, and she was at a loss as to what to do.

　　(Ah, Asada-kun has stood up!! Thank you Amaterasu!)

　　Seeing Shinichi who seemed unhurt, stand up again and look at the bonfire, Itsuki heaved a sigh of relief. When she patted her chest, she felt her heart beating extremely fast, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

　　For Itsuki, Shinichi's importance can almost be compared to that of her family. So many things happened with him, she learned so much new knowledge with him, and she saw his efforts unknown. Who knows how many times, she saw his pretending to be brave.

　　Itsuki doesn't want to lose Shinichi at all.

　　Such a thought made her face flush, her heartbeat had a different accelerating rhythm, and her breath was so hot that she didn't dare to look Shinichi directly in the face.

Fortunately, the subsequent developments didn't give Itsuki the leisure to think about this strange feeling.

　　"Itsuki, call me any time anyway and let me know the situation here."

　　After a little adjustment, Shinichi plugged in the Bluetooth earphones.

　　"Next is the time to test our tacit understanding, are you ready Secretary Itsuki?"

　　"Okay!"

　　Itsuki held the phone firmly.

　　"No matter when and where, allow me to advance with you, like a shadow chasing the sun!"

　　"...Where did you learn this sentence?"

　　Shinichi got goosebumps.

　　Itsuki didn't feel anything strange at all, tilted her head and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

　　"There isn't anything..."

　　"Asada-kun is really weird."

　　(No, the weird one is you. Is there something wrong with your shyness?)

　　Shinichi decides not to waste any more time talking to her, and then gives "pre-battle training" to the remaining girls.

　　He obviously only planned to explain a few words and then rush out of here to find the remote control fireworks. Unexpectedly, he spent a lot of time boosting their morale, and only Ichika made him feel relieved.

　　After finishing his last words with Yotsuba, Shinichi immediately ran towards the dark forest.

　　This wasn't the last battle he would have to fight with all his strength, but it was the most important right now.

　　△

　　"Huh Hah Huh."

Shinichi exhaled loudly, his chest rose and fell, and his footsteps didn't stop.

　　He ran all the way to the lake in the forest.

　　"Yotsuba... Did she manage to gather an audience... Great! Get Nino and Miku ready."

　　While giving orders to Itsuki on the other end of the earphones, Shinichi counted the time.

　　Considering the time it took for the crowd to gather and for Miku and Nino to start the disaster prevention lecture, he still had about thirteen minutes to arrive at the lake and find the fallen remote control.

　　Enough!

　　"Tsk, I really wish the goddess of the lake could get it for me right now..."

　　"Asada-kun, what are you talking about? Lake goddess?"

　　"There isn't anything!"

　　Panting, Shinichi ran.

　　After about three minutes, he finally made his way through the darkness, and a bright light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

　　It was a place like a secret place.

　　Shinichi rushes over to where he and Fumino fell into the lake.

　　He still has ten minutes, even if there is no lake goddess to help him, this time it is enough to find the remote control in the lake that is not cloudy!

　　After removing his shoes and socks and rolling up his pants for a few seconds, Shinichi stepped into the icy cold lake, bent over and began to feel the bottom of the lake.

　　"I remember it was near here..."

　　The cold water made his body tremble slightly. The light here couldn't reach the bottom of the lake, so he could only open his eyes and search blindly.

　　"Asada-kun, Miku seems to be in a bad mood, what should I do…"

　　Itsuki's voice came.

　　"There is a speaker used by Yotsuba on the other side of the stage, give it to Miku, and tell her that it has the hatred of being single that couples have cursed. If a bachelor holds it, she can gain 100% courage, and she understands very well what it means to be sad."

　　Answering without hesitation, Shinichi turned around and heard a disc sound at his waist.

　　With this physical fitness, he had to be sent to the hospital within a few days of going to the countryside to farm. He still doesn't get enough exercise!

　　"Really, do you really want to say that?" Itsuki looked on in disbelief.

　　"Allowed!" Shinichi explored the bottom of the lake.

　　Time flies every minute and every second. According to Itsuki's report, Miku's progress was proceeding smoothly, and there was only a delay of about seven minutes before the bonfire had to be put out.

　　And Shinichi still hasn't found the remote control.

　　"Damn it, logically, shouldn't have fallen too far..."

　　Shinichi wiped sweat from his nose.

　　At this time, there was a sudden sound of water falling from the side.
