Will accidentally lead to murder

　　After talking to Rui, Shinichi went to take a shower.

　　He didn't even look at his phone after taking a shower, because his mood was a bit complicated, so he went straight to sleep after doing his light exercise routine.

　　Next morning.

　　After the usual routine, he returned to his room and changed into his pajamas. Shinichi picked up his cellphone, opened LINE and saw that there were 30 unread messages next to Nino's profile photo.

　　"Is she not having business on holiday..."

　　Texting him all day long, and asking him what he was doing from time to time, he really didn't know whether to be touched or tired of this kind of attachment.

　　 Shinichi was forced to get used to it, provided he responded casually as usual.

　　After clicking through the chat interface, it turned out that Nino had not sent thirty text messages, but had included more than twenty photos.

　　Luckily, Shinichi had turned off Nino's chat reminder. Otherwise, last night it was so noisy that he couldn't sleep.

　　 Shinichi looked casually, mostly landscape photos, food photos, and so on.

　　However, Shinichi's expression became even stranger as he moved back and forth.

　　On the screen, images of Nino in a swimsuit appeared one after another...

　　Her chest is so big, her skin is so white, and her figure is so good.

　　Shinichi put down his cellphone and complained helplessly.

　　"Does sister know that when the family is out and about, you still take pictures of yourself in a bathing suit and send them to the opposite sex..."

　　Now Shinichi really wants to open Nino's head to see what bad things are inside.

　　If this swimsuit photo wasn't considered conservative, focused on beauty over sexiness, Shinichi would surely give a serious lecture, telling her what information security is.

　　"…Don't think about anything but mesmerizing me, an idiot braver than brains."

　　Shinichi picked up the phone again and returned to the chat interface.

　　Of course, he would not keep these photos. If someone else took over his phone one day, he wouldn't be able to argue against it. He's not going to dig his own grave... And if he really wants to see that, he can go through the chat history and view it any time.

　　[The scenery and food are well photographed, but they are covered by a swimsuit, thus ruining their beauty.]

　　That should have made Nino reply with an angry sentence or two.

Shinichi was used to chatting with Nino like this.

　　And in Japan it's 7 a.m., and the time difference in Tahiti is 12 noon, so Nino should be awake.

　　As expected, Nino's reply was sent immediately.

　　First, there is a photo of the middle finger that she specially made into an emoji so she could express her dissatisfaction.

　　Then, the text message appeared in Shinichi's eyes.

　　[What food is blocked by the swimsuit, and what sights do you want to see! Big pervert!]

　　"...Ha?"

　　Shinichi stared at that line in confusion, with question marks all over his head.

　　"I'm just teasing you a little bit as usual, and I'm not exactly saying swimsuit photos are gorgeous. If you are angry, you will be angry. What is the meaning of this response?"

　　"What does the words I typed have to do with that pervert?"

　　It didn't take long for Shinichi to find out.

　　In short, Nino misunderstood and thought Shinichi wanted to see a photo of her not wearing a swimsuit.

　　"Who wants to see it!"

Shinichi gritted his teeth.

　　 Nino hides in the toilet to chat with Shinichi before lunch is ready.

　　"Pervert... HE wants to see it before dating..."

　　After blushing, Nino then thought of a way to seduce Shinichi.

　　This was a great opportunity to improve her relationship, and she must not let him go.

　　Suddenly there were two voice messages coming in.

　　Nino looked at the chat interface, and missed the usual middle finger snap, but her eyes widened in response to the following text.

　　[Compared to you, I'd rather see Uesugi Fuutarou's photo]

　　Such an overstatement was like a knife stabbing deep into Nino's heart.

　　Even if it's just a joke, it still hurts her a lot.

　　Her cell phone was held tightly, and her red lips turned white from being bitten.

　　What was overflowing in the chest was no longer the feeling of happiness that was shyly awaited, but the reluctance and hatred that came surging.

　　Wiping the moisture that had escaped from the eye sockets, Nino's eyes turned bloodshot, and she punched the wall viciously.

　　"Uesugi Fuutarou…Remember, I have to make you look good!"

　　Something precious had been taken from her, and from this moment on, Nino was very annoyed when she saw that rotten and gloomy man again.

Fuutarou who was sleeping in a small apartment far away in Tokyo, suddenly had a shudder and woke up from his dream with cold sweat running down his back, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

　　"The feeling of being subjected to killing intent across the Pacific Ocean?"

　　"Killing intent? Onii-chan, you're not too young, don't be a chuunibyou, quickly wash your face and brush your teeth."

　　And Fuutarou was immediately complained by his little sister who was making breakfast in the kitchen.

　　△

　　Unaware that he would accidentally cause a murder, Shinichi glanced into the closed living room, down to the kitchen, put on an apron and started making breakfast.

　　Yesterday was Western style, but today he made Japanese breakfast. White rice, bonito tofu miso soup, fried salmon and omelet, for three people.

　　When he was done, he put one of them on the dining table, and the rest kept warm.

　　He didn't ask the two people to come down, and kept Shinichi's own bowl and chopsticks and breakfast alone.

　　『Article 17: Eat together as much as possible. If you ask for permission, you must say it first. Don't keep family members waiting. 』

　　This living convention does not include his situation of making breakfast first.

　　Shinichi is trying to get along with his new family. This was the first step… If it was just a "landlord-tenant" relationship, he wouldn't bother doing it.

　　There was only him in the living room, which seemed rather empty.

　　Shinichi ate several mouthfuls of food, but heard two voices coming down the stairs.
