The sky was pitch black and cold rain continued to fall.
The headlights flashed in the corner of the night, two taxis stopped in front of a high-class apartment, and then the door opened, and four girls wearing yukata and a man in casual clothes came out one after another, and rushed into the apartment.
"Phew… Finally home!" Despite the rain on her head, she swiped her card and entered the door with a bounce, Yotsuba said with a smile, "Even though the shrine festival is great fun, it feels good to eat, drink and have fun together at home!"
After finishing speaking, there was no response. When she looked back, she found that the four people were walking side by side with the atmosphere still a bit strange.
"Nino... What were you guys doing in the car?"
The redness on her cheeks was still there, Nino smoothed out her messy yukata, combed her hair, and looked away.
"It's nothing, what else could happen in a taxi?"
(Very suspicious.)
Miku narrowed her eyes, turned to look at Shinichi, and whispered beside her.
"Shinichi, did Nino do something to you?"
Nino paused while straightening her yukata, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly. Does Miku not trust her family at all?
Of course, since she too had a guilty conscience, she only groaned in her heart, then pretended not to hear, admiring the view of the apartment she was tired of looking at.
"What we can do?" Shinichi brushed his messy hair and looked at Miku.
"Yes, she lost control of her emotions. She pressed me against the car door and beat me. She almost knocked down the car window and hit me in the face."
"What?! It's because you said that first!" Stabbed to the point of pain, Nino immediately turned her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"And don't you look like you yourself are enjoying the beating and don't want to resist at all? Too irresponsible to blame everything on me, right? You are irresponsible, you are not a man at all."
Miku stared at Shinichi in shock.
"Shinichi was beaten... Enjoyed it?"
Is this a special hobby mentioned in some book?
A blush appeared on her face, Miku lowered her head and clenched her fists.
It felt weak, without strength at all... There's no harm in hitting him like this, can Shinichi enjoy this kind of power?
Or, going to the gym to work out?
Miku lost her mind for a moment, stood there and more and more bad images came to her mind, making her face even redder.
Right now, Shinichi really wanted to punch both of them in the head... No, it's better to just punch Nino.
If it wasn't for fear that Nino would turn around, wouldn't Shinichi refuse? And from start to finish, he endured Nino's attacks with a displeased face. Where did this girl see him happy?
Shinichi didn't make any excuses, just like that, she walked to the elevator in front of Yotsuba.
As Shinichi pulled away, Miku returned to normal, the blush faded, and she faced Itsuki who was showing a pensive expression.
"Itsuki?"
"Strawberry cake, there seems to be fried chicken, but I have to wait for Ichika to come back... Huh?" Itsuki muttered something when she heard someone calling her, turned her head and said: "Miku, what's wrong?"
With a bit of helplessness on her face, Miku asked softly, "Nino and Shinichi...did they have a fight in the car just now?"
"Fight? There isn't anything!" Itsuki quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "They have a very good relationship! To be honest, it was beyond my expectations that the two of them could communicate in such a friendly way. I was also a little worried about whether they would have a bad heart and get along awkwardly…"
"Good relationship?"
Itsuki was still talking, but Miku looked away, stopped for a moment on the side of Nino's face who accidentally looked at Shinichi, brows furrowed.
"Friendly exchange..."
She combed her hair forward with her fingers.
Itsuki stopped talking, always feeling something was wrong, but had no idea.
The elevator just arrived, and several people entered the elevator one by one. After the door closed, Shinichi leaned against a corner, staring quietly at the number above his head.
Like being in a garden, the scent of the four girls was more prominent in this confined space, even though the elevator of a high-class apartment was not too crowded with five people, but a man's instinct was to play tricks, and Shinichi still kept away from them. After some distance, he consciously huddled in a corner.
At the same time, he was still a little nervous. It was the first time in his life that he entered a girl's house and celebrated their birthday. Even if he didn't have any evil thoughts in his heart, this situation still made him tense up.
Perhaps the same feeling as visiting a girls' school alone? It's natural for men who aren't experienced enough to get nervous.
Yotsuba at the side seemed to see Shinichi's hidden anxiety, and suddenly put her hands behind his back.
"Asada-san!" Yotsuba smiled brightly.
Shinichi smiled lightly, the tension disappeared in an instant.
As expected of Yotsuba, she was always able to give him the most appropriate encouragement at the most appropriate time.
(As long as she's there, no matter what happens next, I definitely won't panic and be confused, right?)
Ding dong!
Currently, the elevator stopped safely on the 30th floor without any incidents such as a power outage, five people locked inside and unable to go to the toilet.
Shinichi followed them out of the elevator, Itsuki took the lead, opened the door with the key, the lights turned on, and a high-class residence that looked radiant was beautifully presented in front of Shinichi.
As expected of a rich family.
As they took off their wooden clogs, Shinichi closed the door.
He instinctively looked around, in front of the entrance was the living and dining room, behind it was the kitchen, the bathroom should be at the end of the corridor, and there was a door that seemed to be the master bedroom. Along the stairs, there were five on display on the second floor, the door was probably a room for the five of them.
