Nino didn't want to see others' expressions; she just stared at the floor, gritting her teeth and holding back emotions in her chest. She only wanted to find a restroom to vent, not let them see her jokes.
What she hated the most now was that even though she had anticipated it, she still felt hurt by his hesitation.
The second most annoying person was, of course, that guy. No matter how much she liked him, she would hate him just as much.
Feeling too confused, Nino stopped thinking and walked straight to the door.
Miku, guarding there, hesitated and then slowly opened the door.
"Miku, close the door!"
A familiar voice was heard, breaking the thick silence.
Miku with an inexplicable smile, closed the door again and stood in front of Nino, who was forced to stop.
She squinted her eyes with a teasing tone and said gently:
"Sorry, this path is blocked."
"Miku, you..." Nino raised her eyes, traces of panic passing through her red eyes, and turned around fiercely, her voice full of hatred.
"Tell her to open the door! What else do you want to do now? I won't ask you to kiss me. If your mouth is itching, find someone you trust to scratch it!"
Shinichi ignored her rude words. As he pushed his chair away and walked from the table to the door, he first met the eyes of Fumino and Itsuki.
"Asada-kun, hang in there." Itsuki's bright eyes seemed to say something like this.
Fumino turned her face away, no longer looking at him.
Shinichi continued to move forward without any pause, passing by both of them.
Rizu looked at him calmly, her lips forming a thin line, her lenses reflecting a dim light, impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Yotsuba's face turned red; her eyes glanced at her lips, and she scratched her head with a guilty feeling, as if regretting pushing her onto the stairs and forcibly kissing her in the afternoon.
Shinichi kept moving forward and never looked back.
He glanced at Miku. The girl with headphones hanging around her neck nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on her face. She walked to the side and gave the two of them a place in front of the door.
The quintuplets didn't mind this kind of thing, and they took the initiative to help Nino...
Shinichi realized something and finally looked at this protagonist.
"What are you looking at!"
Nino bared her teeth and slowly retreated towards the door, wanting to escape through the door unprepared.
Shinichi approached with firm steps, Nino was frightened, and quickly stepped back with a red face.
"What are you doing... Don't come!"
While shouting loudly, her hand had already grabbed the doorknob, but she leaned her back against the door panel and didn't open the door but leaned against it. Her moist and reddened eyes didn't blink, looking at him reluctantly.
Seeing that the threat was useless, she pretended to be indifferent and said, "President, is there anything else? If there's nothing else, I'll leave early."
"Oh?"
Shinichi rolled his eyes, and before she got angry again, he put his palm on the door and slammed the door behind Nino.
For the first time, Shinichi took the initiative to do Kabedon.
Teeth for teeth, eyes for eyes.
This was a memorable moment, but Shinichi had no emotions at the moment. He lowered his gaze and looked at Nino's blushing face.
"Yesterday, I kissed someone's neck and said, 'That's it for today~,' but just one day later, are you planning to go straight to the Bad End?"
"You'll be laughed at if you do this."
"Don't say anything that others don't understand..."
Nino, who couldn't think, clenched her fingers tightly around her sleeve, her eyes panicking.
"Because you don't dare to kiss me in front of them, you and I have nothing to say. So quickly disappear from me..."
As she said this, she seemed to really enjoy the feeling of the shadow and warm breath falling on her body when she was slammed against the wall. Her voice became softer, and her hatred turned into a complaint.
Shinichi ignored her body's reaction and spoke slowly while sighing:
"There's only one reason why I'm not kissing you now, and that's because I just kissed one of your sisters a few hours ago, and I haven't brushed my teeth... If I really wanted to kiss you without hesitation, then I would just be a jerk. Besides its name, it might deserve another title, 'Kissing Crazy.'"
"You also know that you're a jerk... Wait, what did you say?!"
Nino's eyes widened; she grabbed the collar of his shirt incredulously and shook it hard.
"Who did you just kiss?! Miku, Yotsuba, or Itsuki?!"
Miku was stunned and unconsciously looked at the most likely candidate.
Yotsuba looked at the sky, whistling occasionally with a red face, and her guilt was evident.
Itsuki's expression was subtle; she didn't know what to say, so she could only put her hand on her forehead to express surprise.
"That's not the point." Shinichi tried to divert her attention.
"Clearly, that is the point, okay?! Answer honestly!"
"Attention, I'm going to kiss you."
"Eh? Wait, wait, don't come! I'm serious, don't come!"
"No, I've reached my limit! To fulfill our agreement, I will kiss you!"
"Idiot, treat my first kiss well! After kissing someone else, come and kiss me..." Nino blushed as she pushed her chest. Strangely, the strength in her hands was very weak. Involuntarily, her body in front of Shinichi slowly leaned downward.
"Ah, I'm so annoyed. You looked unwilling just now, why are you so proactive now!"
Nino seemed to forget what she had just said to her sister a few minutes ago, so she screamed in embarrassment.
"Do you still need to ask?"
Shinichi stopped for a moment.
With his free hand, he held Nino's delicate chin and directed her face towards him. He didn't chase the deliberately avoided gaze. He just stared at Nino seriously and said with a voice that only she could hear:
"Isn't it clear to choose between kissing or losing you? Now that you've made a decision, if I don't stay with you until the end, I'll be worse than a jerk."
"Nino, close your eyes."
"It's okay to keep your eyes open, but the atmosphere will decrease."
"If you say that now, the atmosphere will disappear, okay!"
Nino, who was deeply moved just now, rolled her eyes but obediently closed her eyes and tilted her head up slightly.
So Shinichi kissed her, and with five girls nearby watching, their lips touched, and their breaths intertwined.
It wasn't a passionate kiss; it was more like imprinting thoughts and consciousness on the lips, a bit forceful but not lasting enough.
However, it still made Nino feel weak and breathless; she couldn't help but hold his neck and reluctantly tiptoed to avoid falling to the ground.
For a moment, their lips parted.
Shinichi gently wiped her warm and moist lips with his thumb.
"The lipstick is a bit strong; next time, please use a lighter one."
"Um."
Nino nodded softly, slightly tightening her embrace, and smiled happily.
