Kapitel 118: Record of Dating with Quintuplets (2)
Shinichi stopped in his tracks, Nino waved at him holding two pieces of clothes on the women's counter.
After a moment of silence, Shinichi suddenly nodded slightly, then turned and left.
"Why such a reaction!"
Nino quickly rushed over in her clothes, her palm pressed against Shinichi's shoulder to prevent him from moving forward, and shouted angrily.
"Normally, shouldn't you come here in person! Were you born to love fighting against people!?"
Shinichi clicked his tongue slowly, breaking away from Nino's pressure, and half closed his eyes and said to her.
"I'm too lazy to fight anyone, so you could think I'm not normal… Then, it was the perpetrator who brought me here and released me here without saying a word. Nino, what can I do for you?"
Feeling the hatred in his tone, Nino's eyes twitched, and the momentum of the question disappeared without a trace, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
She suddenly pulled out a sweet and friendly smile and pushed Shinichi's back.
"Oh my, Asada, look what you're saying, isn't it embarrassing for a boy and five girls to go to a clothing store together? We did this for you, and we definitely don't forget you~"
"You think I will believe..."
"Don't be so stingy, dignified man, come with me!"
Just like that, Shinichi was pushed to the ladies counter area by Nino, thinking that he didn't do anything, so he didn't refuse, but felt a bit new.
As long as there were women around him, even in a place where women's clothes were everywhere, he would feel no shame— This was his new invention.
Though quite meaningful.
Asking Shinichi to step aside, Nino stood in front of the dressing mirror, picked up it clothes and pointed at herself in the mirror, and asked him.
"Which do you think is better? I like the black and purple style, but I still have business today, and I'm afraid I'll only buy one if I don't have anything to bring, so I'm hesitating which one to choose...You happen to have one, let's go use the male eye as a reference."
Hearing what Nino said, Shinichi could only roll his eyes.
"Tiring choice, can't anything work?"
Nino immediately turned her head and glared at him: "If you keep thinking like this, you will never get a girlfriend in the future!"
Shinichi sneered and stared back: "Your thinking is biased. If I really wanted to have a girlfriend, would I say something stupid like that in front of the girls?"
"Eh?" Nino was shocked, it seems that there is no problem with this statement?
Just when she couldn't help but think of that sentence, she suddenly took the two pieces of clothing in her hand and smiled provocatively at him.
"Seeing you are a "love brain" type who can only talk on paper and has no knowledge, I will make a fool of myself and tell you what a 'chasing girl' attitude is like!"
Before he could answer, Shinichi closed his eyes and started self-hypnosis mode.
True, history has always been very similar... Usually when he became different from him usual self, it was because he used hypnosis or psychological suggestion on himself.
At this time, he kept repeating in his heart.
There's no need to be shy... It's just acting, just like an actor trying to impress the audience, if he wants to do that, he has to do his best!
(...The girl in front of me, Nakano Nino, has been my girlfriend for two years.)
(I took her shopping today, and when I came to this department store, I stopped by her favorite clothing store... Maybe this is a chance to increase my liking?)
(Decided to confess tonight, but she gave me a question first... Black? Purple? Which one would suit her?)
(What a disturbing choice... Even so, I want to see her happy and satisfied smile.)
(Because, she's the one I like.)
(So, can't escape.)
Shinichi opened his eyes, and at that moment, Nino really felt the difference.
Not a difference in personality, but a difference in attitude... Or in other words, a difference in interests.
Just as people have different attitudes towards friends, family members, outsiders and enemies, because interests are different, the words and deeds that are expressed will also be different.
The Shinichi before her had changed this time – he was still him, but now he only saw her.
Shinichi just broke away from himself, and did an emotional reproduction.
To put it simply, the current him is the appearance Nino might fall in love with in the future.
Nino's whole body trembled, and couldn't help taking a step back, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, so she hurriedly stopped him.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have to show it to me! I did say something wrong just now, don't worry about it!"
However, Shinichi ignores her, not only because he wants to teach Nino a lesson, but also because he wants to see how effective this kind of self-suggestion can be.
Remembering when he played against Furuhashi, he was always dissatisfied with his immature acting skills. Because of his high shyness, no matter how many books he read on self-hypnosis and acting guidance, he couldn't perfectly fit into the role.
That's why Shinichi developed this hypnosis method. He had originally planned to use this method to defeat Furuhashi if he still had a chance to play with her, and saw her blush and admit defeat. But who made Nino speak harshly first? Then he had to use her as an experiment.
So he took a step forward, and while approaching Nino, he tilted his head slightly and looked at the clothes in her hands.
"Nino, are you sure you want to choose between the two?"
What a gentle voice! What's wrong with this guy? !
Nino quickly rubbed her arm and nodded perfunctorily.
"Forget it, I will buy both of them together, don't act anymore, go shopping at your place, see you soon!"
Even though he hastily issues the eviction order, Shinichi remains firm, and even looks back and forth between the clothes and Nino with great seriousness.
"I don't think either of those things suit you."
Nino was immediately interested in this sentence, and couldn't help asking: "Why? I feel pretty good."
"Well, it's hard to say..." Shinichi took a pure white dress from the side, made a gesture, and muttered, "This one is also very strange..."
His gaze swept across Nino's body, and somehow made her blush a little, and hugged her tightly.
"What's so strange! Is it fun to tease people like this? Tell me!"
Shinichi stared at her for a while, and finally sighed.
"Sorry, I can't see it."
"..."
Nino's bashful expression suddenly froze, a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes and she bit her lower lip lightly.
At this time, Shinichi turned his head again, scratched his cheek lightly, and said in a low voice that only she could hear.
"…Who made you look so beautiful, no matter what clothes you wear, they don't suit you."
"S-Stupid! What are you saying suddenly…" Nino raised her hand to cover Shinichi's mouth, and her face was completely red, and she didn't dare to look at him.
Chasing victory, Shinichi looked at her, showing a slightly embarrassed but gentle laugh.
"Let's search here together today. If one or two items don't work, let's find a hundred items. Besides, there's still plenty of time."
"If the mall closes and you still can't find it, I'll take you home and look elsewhere next time."
"Y-You..." Nino took a slightly unsteady step back, even her voice trembled slightly, and she was wearing Honorifics.
"No, don't bother you too much..."
"Perhaps, it is very troublesome to go shopping with you." Shinichi stretched out his arms and sighed, and the moment Nino's eyes widened slightly, he looked into hers lovingly, with a gentle but firm tone.
"But I just like to make trouble, don't I?"
The sound of objects shattering appeared in Nino's heart.
"——!"
Nino's breath stopped under Shinichi's affectionate gaze, and stared at him blankly.
Her racing heart was still pumping blood, causing dizziness and only the booming sound of her heartbeat remained beside her ears.
The unprecedented throbbing feeling gave her the illusion of being filled with warmth, everything before her eyes was dyed pink.
"...Of course, okay..."
Just as she was about to lower her head and give a firm answer to her words, Shinichi suddenly clapped his hands loudly.
*👏🏻*
"The show is over, do you still think I won't find a girlfriend in the future? Nakano Nino."
After a standing ovation, Shinichi's calm voice was heard.
As if a basin of cold water had suddenly been poured out, Nino suddenly broke free from the illusion, and she was clear again.
In contrast to her, Shinichi's face was not red at all, instead, calm and indifferent.
"Go ahead and choose clothes, I will go first."
As if she didn't hear Shinichi's words, Nino stood there with a stiff expression and glared at him.
Her blushing pretty face slowly turned white, her heart was no longer beating, but felt a slight pain.
She could feel that something was breaking into pieces, falling continuously, and falling into the bottomless void, but she didn't know what it was.
And Shinichi just hung the clothes in his hands, then turned around, and gave a fake cough.
"...Also, don't tell anyone what just happened."
"...Hah?" Nino recovered from her lethargy, the thing that kept falling on her heart was hitting the pause button, and she stared at his back in surprise.
The short hair that had been taken care of couldn't cover his red to purple ears at all.
Shinichi continued to speak at an accelerated pace.
"If acting just now made you feel uncomfortable, I'm sorry. This is just to let you know that I will also chase girls. Nothing else, so it doesn't matter. If you really want to care, I'll treat you to a meal, okay?"
"Eh? Wait, what..." What could be undone after eating, she's not Itsuki...
But before Nino could ask, Shinichi quickly walked towards the door of the shop, clearly maintaining a calm and cool appearance, but no matter how Nino looked at him, she looked like he was running away.
Nino just held onto her clothes in a daze for a while, her stiff expression gradually softening.
In the end it turned into a helpless laugh.
"...Idiot."
If you feel embarrassed yourself, don't act like it.
Shouldn't ranking second in school be the ranking of who can embarrass himself and others the most?
"However, I still have to praise you…"
Whether it is provocative words or deeds or gentle intentions, they all have the power to move people's hearts. Nino was wrong in saying those words.
If Shinichi wants to have a girlfriend, as long as he works hard, someone will fall in love with him.
Now, Nino can vouch for it with personal experience.
She stroked her left chest, lowered her head and muttered under her breath in front of the silent full-length mirror.
"Fortunately, I fell in love with him a bit..."
She looked in the mirror, her face turned red again, and she smiled very happily.
Seeing this, Nino quickly covered her face, squatted on the ground, and a sad sound came from her palm.
"Calm! I don't want to like that guy in a hurry."
