Chapitre 700: Understanding
The next morning.
Wednesday, September 10.
After morning exercises as usual, Shinichi returned to class, Fumino was reading a book with great interest.
"Morning."
As usual, Shinichi greeted her briefly while observing her reaction without a trace.
"Morning~"
Answering more lively than usual, Fumino didn't take her eyes off the book.
Shinichi took out morning reading and looked at it casually a few more times, gradually feeling relieved.
It should be fine now.
Fumino is a very contradictory girl. She hid her own grievances, sadness, and discomfort in her heart and prevented others from seeing it. But she could honestly express other people's joys, sorrows, worries and complaints, and she always made people feel comfortable when hanging out with her.
Just like yesterday, she expressed her dissatisfaction towards Shinichi through her actions, which were so obvious that even Rizu could see it, but other than that, even Shinichi couldn't see what her heart was.
Fumino is straightforward and cheerful, sincere, gentle and kind. However, when she doesn't want to be seen, she can hide deeper than others.
Shinichi thought so. This was the Fumino he knew, a girl who was full of contradictions but could never be hated.
So basically...When she had a study meeting at Rizu's house yesterday, what did the two of them talk about?
Shinichi was very curious about this, after all, after having a heart to heart talk, the possibility of Fumino suddenly becoming enlightened was very high.
But Shinichi couldn't ask the truth, if it had a back effect and inflamed a situation that was finally calm, wouldn't it be the same as asking for trouble?
Curiosity will kill the cat. Shinichi remembers this question and concentrates on reading his book so as not to get into more trouble.
It's okay for now.
Gathering information leisurely in peaceful daily life, and relying on this information to resolve unexpected incidents in a beautiful manner is what Shinichi approaches
In the next few classes, Fumino's attitude remained the same as before, unchanged because of yesterday's events, she could still talk, laugh and complain.
Shinichi felt it wasn't a disguise. However, it is important to keep the relationship between the two unchanged.
And in the afternoon, he finally saw a subtle expression on Fumino's face that was different from the past.
The incident started with Nino, she brought him another lunch box, and Miku behind her was an uninvited guest.
Looking at the three girls who had suddenly gathered, Fumino looked down at the floor and rolled her empty eyes.
Ichika was working hard outside of school, and Yotsuba was about to have lunch with her friends, so the remaining three quintuplets chatted with Shinichi about interesting things about the exchange meeting while eating handmade bento.
Nino and Miku share a chair with Shinichi, while Shinichi sits in Fuutarou's chair because Nino said that she didn't want any assholes.
Faced with this kind of gangster logic, Shinichi wanted to say that he was excessive and deliberate. However, when he saw Nino sitting in his seat without hesitation, he silently swallowed those words of reproach and consciously occupied Fuutarou's seat.
As for Fumino, she didn't join in the fun like before, but instead looked for Kashima, Inomori, and Chono to eat together at the same table. Even though she also stayed in the classroom, she didn't glance at the four of them at all, deliberately pretending not to see them.
Like her, Shinichi pretended not to notice her reaction and continued chatting happily with Miku, Itsuki, and Nino.
Lunch time passed in a peaceful atmosphere. After eating, Miku got up and went to the toilet, while Nino explained the situation at home.
"I always felt that the atmosphere between Ichika and Yotsuba was a bit strange... Just like the feeling between Ichika and Miku before."
Itsuki expressed a different opinion: "I think the atmosphere is somewhat similar to the confrontation between you and Ichika..."
"It's not that serious~" Nino waved her hand, lifted her legs clad in white knee-high socks, and lifted her chin slightly.
"Yotsuba is not me. She will not oppose or fight with her family. As soon as the situation gets bad, she will immediately use her smile to ease it."
"Don't talk about her yet, you are quite aware of your arrogance," Complained Shinichi.
"Don't talk nonsense, I have always been very gentle, okay? And the protagonist of the current topic is not me, but Yotsuba!" Nino snorted in dissatisfaction.
"About the changes between Ichika and Yotsuba, Shi-kun, do you have any clues?"
"A clue?"
Shinichi pondered for a moment, he looked at Itsuki.
Itsuki wiped the corners of her mouth and blinked her eyes cutely.
"What is wrong?"
"What do you think? Does this have anything to do with the celebration banquet?"
"Hah?" Itsuki was surprised, even a little panicked, "It's useless to ask me! Actually, I'm confused too. Yotsuba obviously didn't quarrel with Ichika, but the atmosphere of harmony was unknown. Unknowingly being strange, they both avoided this issue at the same time, and they rarely saw or talked to each other at home."
"What did they say in their last conversation?" Shinichi tried to analyze cause and effect. He always felt that it had something to do with him.
Then he remembered the message he sent them. If the three of them knew the contents of Yotsuba's message...
Shinichi got an idea and immediately changed his words and asked: "Do you know the content of the message I sent to the other two people?"
"!?"
As if remembering something embarrassing, Itsuki's face turned red, she didn't dare to look Shinichi in the eye, put her hands on her knees, and said a little awkwardly:
"Yotsuba... She seemed very happy after reading the message, so we asked her about it, and she spoke frankly..."
When she said this, Shinichi roughly understood that perhaps this was where the incident came from.
But isn't that it?
Even if Ichika wanted to be jealous or sulk, she had to target him like Fumino. Why did her relationship with Yotsuba become so bad?
That sentence did not exclude Itsuki, logically Itsuki should also be affected.
The revelation of one doubt leads to more doubts. As Shinichi was about to ask a further question, Nino, feeling excluded by the two of them, interrupted somewhat unhappily.
"Stop, stop, stop, what's the message? Why haven't I heard from you?"
