Please don't look at me like that!

　　Whenever Chika had the idea to cause trouble, Hayasaka would hand her a piece of meat at the right moment, filling her consciousness with food, making her want to do nothing but open her mouth and close her eyes.

　　Without a source of chaos leading the way, they all focused on the barbecue.

　　After they had eaten and drank enough, the few people prepared to say goodbye to each other and leave.

　　"Wait, what about the real version of the game of life I brought?!"

　　Chika howled in surprise.

　　"That's really unfortunate..."

　　Shinichi wanted to pat her head with a pitying expression, but he lowered his raised hand.

　　"We can take it to the student council room to play with after school starts."

　　 Shirogane and Ishigami looked at him with horrified faces.

　　"Asada, what's wrong with you? You actually want to play a game that sounds like a crappy game?"

　　Chika felt unhappy hearing that, she put her hands on her waist and looked at him angrily.

　　"Trash gamers, a bunch of shallow people! They define a bad game without ever playing it. The Japanese gaming industry is declining because of people like you!"

　　"I never failed at all, okay!"

"You actually called people trash from the start. This girl is really trash."

　　Ignoring the two people's complaints, Chika pulled Shinichi's arm.

　　"Asada-kun is different from ordinary people like you. His vision is far-sighted and forward-looking... Huh?"

　　Chika stopped for a moment and realized that she didn't do anything.

　　Then she looked at the empty space next to her.

　　"Where is Asada-kun?"

　　Ishigami showed a mocking smile.

　　"He was already chatting with another girl while you were lying."

　　Chika: "😐"

　　She puffed out her cheeks, then turned her head and pounced on Iino.

　　"Iino-chan, Ishigami-kun is bothering me again!"

　　Iino caught her and sighed.

　　"Fujiwara Senpai, I think that instead of blaming Ishigami for this, it's better to go straight to the culprit to solve the problem..."

　　She didn't care at all about what she said, Chika was shocked and screamed.

　　"Oh my god! Did your and Ishigami-kun's relationship become so good after eating barbecue together?! You even started to speak for him!"

　　Both of them were stunned at the same time, then both blushed.

　　"Senpai, what are you talking nonsense! How could I, how could I be with that man…" Iino hurriedly avoided her gaze and turned to Ishigami

　　"How annoying, Ishigami, you idiot!"

　　"Why?!"

　　Putting aside Ishigami's cry of injustice, Shinichi walked towards the Nakano quintuplets.

　　"Do you want to go back?"

　　After all, he was the one who asked for them. Not only the quintuplets, but also everyone's safety on the way home.

　　Itsuki nodded, put away her cell phone and smiled at him: "No problem, Ebata-san is already on way..."

　　"Asada-kun! Please don't look at me like that, it's very rude! "

　　The conversation suddenly changed, Itsuki's face turned red and she covered her stomach, looking at Shinichi angrily.

　　"Plus, it's normal to feel a little bloated after eating! This feeling will go away quickly if I go back and do yoga! I won't get fat so fast!"

Shinichi: "😐"

　　(I just looked at it and didn't say anything. Why are you trying so hard to defend yourself... Haven't you noticed that others are looking at you with pity?)

　　Shinichi looked at her round cheeks, smiling gently.

　　"Um, it's okay to go back."

　　"Please don't change the topic too seriously!"

　　(Tch, this girl is really troublesome)

　　Shinichi pretended not to notice that Itsuki was about to cry, and turned to Fumino and Rizu.

　　"How about you? Do you have a family member who will pick you up?"

　　Fumino smiled bitterly as if she was used to it.

　　"My father... Maybe he still hasn't had time to pick me up. But I have a taxi phone number, so just call later, no problem~"

　　A mock-relaxed look appeared in her eyes, and Shinichi pondered.

　　He didn't know much about the Fumino family's situation. He only knew that her mother died of illness when she was young, and her father was a university professor. As for their relationship...

　　Doesn't it look good?

　　As a father, he doesn't care if his beautiful daughter walks alone at night or hails a taxi?

　　It's okay for the relationship between parents and children to be indifferent, could there be incidents of domestic violence?

　　Hiding the worry deep in his heart, Shinichi showed no change on the surface and glanced at Rizu.

　　Rizu caught that gaze and shook her head.

　　"Even though my father will come as soon as I call, I don't want to disturb him to close the shop. So, just take the train back. "

　　Shinichi immediately made a decision: "Okay, then we will take the train back in a while." He looked at Fumino again.

　　"Is there a problem with you? Even if you are a rich woman, it is better to save money on a taxi."

　　"I can't be considered a rich woman by spending the pocket money that father gave me…" Fumino muttered a few words in a complicated mood. Of course, Fumino didn't mind this.

　　As she turned around, she patted Rizu's shoulder with emotion and said softly.

　　"Asada-san, he's still as considerate as ever."

　　"Is it true? It's too natural. It always feels like there's nothing special." Rizu agreed.

　　"But from what you said, Shinichi-san always thinks about us."

　　"Correct!" Fumino nodded repeatedly, and said those words to Rizu.

　　"That's why I..."

　　"He looks a lot like Fumino, that's all."

　　"What?"

　　Rizu looked at Fumino.

　　"I mean he's gentle and careful, and makes people want to be close to him... Fumino has a lot of things that are similar to Shinichi-san."

　　"Fumino, you are my most important friend and the goal of my longing... Also, the person I want to pursue."

　　"I felt this way from the moment I met you until now."

　　Fumino's expression was confused as she muttered: "The person you want to chase...?"

　　Therefore, she didn't hear Rizu's whisper after that.

　　"So, I won't back down..."

　　When Fumino regained consciousness, she saw her.

　　"Fumino, that girl named Nakano Nino also seems to have a crush on Shinichi-san."

　　"Nino?" Fumino raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

　　"Do you know it now? Everyone is clearly spreading the word…"

　　Rizu shook her head.

　　"Sorry, besides, I'm not good at this kind of thing..."

　　"It's nothing, this is nothing to forgive!

　　"Hmm~ Yes, after all, Ricchan isn't the type to care about school rumors..."

　　Pointing her finger to her chin and thinking, Fumino suddenly froze on the spot.

　　"Eh? Wait, you just said this word… It has to be, right?!"

　　"What is wrong?"

　　Rizu turned her head with a confused expression on her face.

Fumino's face turned red and she whined.

　　"Forgive me. Only I, a single-celled pink algae, was thinking nonsense there—"

　　"Fumino sure is strange..."
