The aquarium that Shinichi made an appointment with Miku was also called a marine park because of its large size and proximity to the sea.
Unlike the shopping street in the city center which is quite far from Asada's house, he has to take the train and then the bus which takes about two hours to get there.
Shinichi originally planned to meet Miku at the station near Nakano's house, and the two of them would go there together. However, Miku insists on meeting at a local station, saying that it would feel more like a date.
"But, this is terrible..."
He was sweating profusely, and stared in horror at the group of passengers huddled together.
After all, Shinichi had been walking to school since he was little, when he really needed to take the train, he deliberately arranged the flow of his journey to and from work. Basically he wouldn't encounter such a dense scene.
Shinichi appears the desire to work at home or start his own business.
Although he can still look for work nearby or travel by car, Shinichi still prefers work with a greater degree of autonomy.
For example, opening a shop and becoming a writer, etc.
Becoming a coffee shop owner is a great choice. At that time, he could recruit everyone he knew as employees, like quintuplets, five people could take over almost all the work in the tavern.
Ichika is very beautiful and can be a counter, Nino is a cook because of her good skills, let Miku count the money, Yotsuba is the most active waiter, and Itsuki...
Let her eat.
After eating, become a famous food blogger, manipulate public opinion and create a good brand for them.
If the company gets bigger, he can also hire Rizu to be a financial management specialist.
Fumino serves as director of the Human Resources and Publicity Department.
Mafuyu is in charge of talent training.
Hayasaka is undoubtedly a professional secretary.
Then send Chika to the enemy company to cause trouble,
He would definitely make a lot of money if he used Kei as an image ambassador...
As for Rui, she can do whatever she wants, but she probably wants to compete with Nino for the chef position. Hina loves to drink, so open a winery and make her the boss of the organization.
His thoughts were getting further away. When Shinichi came back to his senses, the air in the train seemed less crowded and stuffy. He didn't know if it was just his imagination.
"I still have to study hard and increase my knowledge so I can make choices in the future..."
Otherwise, no matter how much he thought about it, it was just an illusion.
"Is Miku okay?"
Thinking that Miku might be out at the moment, Shinichi looked at the crowd filling the train and worried for her safety.
With Miku's personality, she would most likely take a female-only train rather than hang out with a bunch of uncles.
Shinichi took out his cell phone, intending to send her a message.
Unexpectedly, before pressing the open screen button, the screen turned on by itself, displaying a message notification from LINE.
It's from Itsuki.
"Does she want to say good morning?"
Shinichi clicked, his eyes suddenly widening.
"Asada-kun, Miku has a high fever and couldn't come. Can you come and see her?"
△
Asada Family.
"Hoam~... Rui, good morning."
Rui looked at Hina who was leaning lazily against the kitchen door with disheveled clothes, then lowered her head.
"Morning. Why did you wake up so early today?"
Hina patted her head, her face wrinkled, as if she had a headache.
"I'm dizzy... I don't feel well. I wanted to go downstairs, wash my face, and throw up a few times to see if it would feel better. I heard a noise in the kitchen, so I came to take a look… Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I've already eaten. I was just practicing a new dish," Rui continued cutting vegetables and said, "Water, tea, tomato juice and bananas are all in the refrigerator. Take it by yourself."
Hina walked towards the refrigerator and narrowed her eyes comfortably as the cold wind blew on her face.
"This new dish is for Shinichi-kun's practice?"
She asked suddenly.
"…Can't it be for you?" Rui said with a strange expression.
Hina waved her hand.
"I have never enjoyed this kind of treatment in the past few years since you learned to cook. I can't believe your love for Onee-san will suddenly reach a higher level."
Rui sighed.
"You are not picky about what you eat. You are as easy to feed as a pig. Whatever dishes I develop, they are all the same..."
"It's too much to say that. It's just that everything Rui cooks tastes delicious, and I was raised not to be a picky eater! So it's all Rui's fault!" Hina drank half a bottle of ice water, and she looked refreshed.
"I haven't cooked at home many times…" Rui argued with her, and continued chopping cabbage.
"By the way, Shinichi-kun doesn't have class today? Where is he going?" Hina asked.
Rui replied indifferently.
"He went to the aquarium with Miku."
"Another date…" Hina knew she shouldn't mention it, or it was best not to continue the conversation, but she complained, "This is the third one. Does he want to date quintuplets? Will they all date? Even if he doesn't have a girlfriend, doing this is also…"
"He didn't take the initiative," Rui shook her head.
"He just doesn't like turning down 'friends' invitations, and he doesn't mean to be unclear with them. Don't think too badly of him."
Hina said in annoyance.
"You obviously like him too…"
Rui has been asked this question in the past.
The answer is still the same.
"Just get used to it... Hissss!"
The kitchen knife fell to the floor, and a sharp impact echoed throughout the kitchen.
Hina quickly put the water back into the refrigerator, and immediately rushed to Rui's side despite the refrigerator door being left open.
"Rui, are you okay?! Where is your cut hand..."
Her eyes widened in confusion.
Rui held her wrist, on her left hand there was a deep, blood-stained wound.
"A-Ambulance—"
"No... Hisss... It's not that serious, just bandage it yourself... Ouch..."
"Send to the hospital, no need to discuss!"
Hina hurriedly went to get medical equipment and a cell phone.
Rui leaned against the sink weakly, and whispered softly.
"…Don't tell him."
