"Count the points yourself..."
Throwing the card onto the table, Miku couldn't hide her anxiety, ignored the frightened expressions of the other sisters, and walked to the balcony which was covered by curtains.
Although only one round had passed since the start of the card game, and this was only the second game, but because Yotsuba's ability to lose the game once he she a banker, Itsuki had to think for a long time. Every time she chooses a card. The first round lasted almost 20 minutes...
In other words, Ichika and Shinichi disappeared for nearly 20 minutes.
(Shinichi goes to the balcony to calm down, Ichika says she will call and doesn't know where to go...)
However, as the wind lifted the curtain, Miku clearly saw the intimate figures of the two of them watching the night view side by side.
(Ichika didn't call, but chatted with Shinichi... Maybe, this wasn't just a normal chat.)
Approaching the balcony even faster, Miku bit her lower lip.
After all, Ichika was making excuses to replace Yotsuba who didn't want to play mahjong, she must have something important to tell Shinichi, right?
Like... Confession or something.
Miku clutched her chest tightly.
For some reason, her heart ached a little.
After witnessing this scene, Miku could no longer deceive herself.
For the first time, she was still able to pretend that nothing happened, thinking that Ichika had sex with Shinichi because of her carefree personality and likes to play tricks on her friends.
But at this birthday party, the second, third time...
Maybe others don't notice? After all, Ichika did these things without a trace, and her expression never showed any abnormalities.
But for Miku, who cares deeply for Shinichi, and whose eyes are always drawn to him, Miku can clearly see the ulterior motives of Ichika.
She couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart, a feeling of uneasiness, which made her reflexively want to escape, but she didn't want to just watch from the side like this, and fell into a contradiction.
After all, it is Ichika...
She once said that she would support her, said that Shinichi was just a friend, would find a way to help her get information, and even took a photo of her not long ago to see, she is an irreplaceable sister!
(But if Ichika really falls in love with Shinichi, then I... Then what should I do...)
--Don't know.
Now Miku doesn't even know if she really likes Shinichi, so how can she understand such complicated feelings?
Miku also doesn't know that she hasn't become the person Shinichi likes, what should she do in such a situation?
While her head was thinking about "what to do", her body was still acting.
It was a cowardly heart, and the instinct to pursue other things, this urge made her break free and step out.
Miku rushed towards the balcony in a chaotic atmosphere.
If they were just chatting casually, what did she intend to do next?
If Ichika confesses and gets rejected, what should she do next?
If Ichika's confession is accepted, what can she do next?
Miku didn't want to worry about this now.
The only thing she had to do was run up to Shinichi, hold the hem of his shirt tightly, and listen to him say her name. As long as she does this, she can get peace of mind
(I've started to turn into...)
Clenching her fists, her footsteps were getting closer and closer to the balcony.
(Not a confession... Please...)
Staring at the floor beneath her feet, Miku silently prayed.
She didn't realize that the balcony window suddenly opened, and a figure stepped out, and without saying a word, she touched her chest.
As a result, both parties paid no attention to each other, and Miku, who was rushing towards the balcony bumped into Ichika, who was blushing.
"Wow!" Ichika came to her senses and exclaimed, she quickly hugged Miku, "Miku? Are you alright?"
"Hmm..." Miku recovered from deep thought. "Ichika?"
"Well, what's wrong with you? You were walking in a hurry, and you weren't looking at the road…" Ichika suddenly realized, "You came to find me… No, Shinichi-kun, right?"
"I…" Seeing her expression, Miku looked away, and said quietly, "No… Mahjong is over, I'm here to ask if you want to play another game together."
"I see..." Ichika kept a calm face, but she averted her eyes slightly guiltily, and changed the subject, "That's right, Shinichi-kun is staying over today, so I'll go and talk to them."
As usual, Ichika patted Miku's head, then let go of her hand, and walked quickly towards the card table which for some reason had a very gloomy atmosphere.
Sensing something was wrong, Miku stared at her back.
Ichika's reaction was so normal that she could even tell at a glance that she was acting normal on purpose to hide something... But because of this it became even more difficult to guess what she was really thinking right now.
It was then that Miku discovered that Ichika's actions matched the arts of war, which made her feel like she had met her match.
"What is wrong?"
After closing the balcony door, Shinichi walked to her side and said hesitantly.
Miku woke up from her daze, and shook her head slowly.
"There isn't anything..."
There was a twinkle in her eyes, and she reached out, trying to grab the hem of Shinichi's shirt.
But her hand stopped in the air, her fingertips trembled slightly, and the warmth of his palm was still on her head, which made her hesitate for some reason.
Miku lowered her head, withdrew her hand, and turned around.
"Shinichi want to stay over? I don't know if there are many blankets in the house…"
Miku found that she couldn't ask a single question.
Obviously, the decision had just been made, as long as Shinichi was there, there was nothing to be afraid of.
But the chain of blood ties was tighter than imagined, leaving her unable to move.
Seeing the sluggish Miku, Shinichi reached his hand towards her head, hesitated for a moment, and finally put it down slowly...
Instead, he patted Miku on the shoulder.
"She just came to thank me and didn't say anything else."
After a short talk, Shinichi walked away.
Trembling all over, Miku asked blankly.
"Why..."
Know what she's thinking
Shinichi didn't answer directly.
"Don't think too much, let's go, it's getting late... Miku."
Miku still stood where she was, without taking a step forward.
"...En, I see!" Miku said with a light smile.
Her fingers again reached for the hem of his shirt, just as she had imagined not long ago.
...
"You are a guest, so I can't let you sleep on the sofa, and Dad's room is locked... For the sake of your great contribution today, I especially let you sleep in my room, don't do anything weird!"
"If I found that the sheets and pillows were dirty the next day, or the wardrobe had been tampered with, I would definitely call the police! Then refuse you to come to our house from now on! "
Threatening viciously, Nino snorted under her breath, dragged Itsuki into another room, and slammed the door shut.
Shinichi just shrugged and stepped into the study without any evil thoughts.
