บท 697: Confessions to each other
Fumino stopped thinking on her own, and for once, she just followed her heart.
"Asada-san, I always..."
Suddenly, Shinichi looked away and looked towards the iron gate.
Fumino also covered her mouth nervously and looked at the locked door uneasily.
Because according to the development of the plot, someone will appear at this time. Judging from the current scene, that person should be a security guard, leaving the two of them embarrassed.
After all, during the summer vacation, before Fumino got an answer to her first confession to Shinichi, she happened to meet another lost person... Looking back, it really was possible.
"…"
So, they maintained an ambiguous posture and stared at the door panel for more than ten seconds.
No movement at all. This period of time was enough for her to finish speaking and Shinichi answered. As a result, it was still quiet outside the door.
The two people felt too cautious and looked at each other. They seemed amused by this situation.
After they finished laughing, they looked at each other closely and blushed.
No one noticed the clasped hands, like two magnets attracting each other through the glass, awkwardly not knowing what to do.
"I..."
After a few seconds of silence, Fumino bit her lip slightly, feeling calm.
Calming down meant the number of things on her mind suddenly increased, and her doubts started to take over.
But she had confessed her feelings to her in the past, and she also knew the reason why Shinichi was liked by many people but not dating anyone. Now she just said it again. It shouldn't be a problem.
Maybe, she could still get the answer she didn't hear at first...
Will Shinichi's mind change because of her?
"I like—"
*Knock Knock*
A sudden knock on the door interrupted this sentence.
"We are school security! We just got an alarm and there are students trapped in the sports warehouse. Are you alright?"
Tried opening the door panel, but it was still locked tightly, and no light penetrated the door gap.
"…"
There was movement outside the door, and Fumino inside the door looked at Shinichi in surprise.
Then, she smiled with a complicated mood.
"Asada-san, do you know what I want to say now?"
Shinichi stared at the ceiling blankly, and said lifelessly:
"I know... I'm just a light novel protagonist after all."
"This is the 'Shrine Fair Wolf Chameleon Light Novel Protagonist Without Clothes'." Fumino corrected and stood up from the mat.
"Forget it, that's all for today. Besides, you already know that I like you, and now you can't seem to come up with an answer."
Fumino said her unfinished confession and at the same time shouted out the door for the other party to confirm that she was safe.
"Phew, it's great that the title didn't increase."
Shinichi said this convincingly and stood with her.
Only then did Fumino realize that her hand was still in Shinichi's palm, and she immediately wanted to pull it back awkwardly.
It's just that Shinichi noticed her movement, so he held it a little harder, and even gently rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.
"A-Asada-san?! What are you doing…" Fumino's face immediately became hot, and she tensed up in panic. She didn't know whether to go harder, or relax and let him control her.
Shinichi continued to look forward and didn't respond to the embarrassed gaze, he just spoke in a calm tone.
"If the world is as big as this sports warehouse, I swear, I will never let go of your hand for the rest of my life. No matter how many times you want to let go, I will chase you back and hold you tight again."
"Eh...?"
This answer completely exceeded her expectations. Fumino stared blankly at the side of her face.
"Let's go, it's time to go out."
Then Shinichi took her hand and headed towards the door that was opened by the crowbar.
After taking a few steps frantically, Fumino understood.
If the world was as big as this sports warehouse... If she was the only person around, Shinichi would choose her without hesitation.
Shinichi didn't confess, because the temperature transmitted from his palm was far more definite and intense than any words.
However, if he leaves this sports warehouse, he may not only have a pair of hands to hold... He will have to let go of her hands, because there are many things in the outside world that he cannot bear to make a choice.
This is the answer Shinichi gave to a question at the shrine fair. He won't change his mind about not dating anyone.
Fumino is nothing special.
In the end, Fumino is no different from Rizu.
"This is really bad..."
Fumino squeezed her hands tightly, and her eyes became red.
Shinichi nodded, still looking forward: "I'm aware."
"How about adding another bastard to the title?"
"It feels fun, like 'Chameleon Light Novel Protagonist Wears No Clothes at the Temple Fair: Bastard Werewolf'?"
"Hmph, I want to complain to Ricchan."
"Please say."
"You will be greatly hated if you do this."
"Oh, maybe."
From the side of her face, Fumino saw a wry smile.
However, there was no doubt or confusion in her voice.
"Even so, I still have things I want to do and things I have to do. It doesn't matter if I'm hated, as long as I don't betray you or hate you."
Shinichi stood in front of the door that was about to open, lowered his head, and wiped the tears streaming down Fumino's face.
"I originally wanted to repay you with a confession, but seeing it like this, it seems like it would only have the opposite effect…"
Fumino's voice trembled slightly, and she said in tears: "If you dare to confess now, I will beat you!"
"I like you, Furuhashi Fumino."
Shinichi answered without hesitation, and was slapped.
He touched her cheek, and his smile finally became a little more natural: "I have liked you for a long time, and it is so nice to say so!"
"Haha, me too."
Fumino couldn't help but laugh. For some reason, the pain in her chest had been greatly reduced, and she didn't have the feeling of heartbreak that had been imagined.
Her expression became more relaxed and she spoke unhurriedly:
"The feeling of facing the fact that the person I like is a playboy, and getting slapped in the face, but still falling in love with him... It's pretty good."
Shinichi was surprised and relieved.
"Is it true? Very good..."
Fumino looked cold and stared at him.
"Of course it's fake!"
With a snort, the girl let go of her hand and thanked the security guard who opened the warehouse door completely.
Shinichi looked at her slender but strong back, he took a deep breath and chased after her.
No matter what, they finally walked into the classroom just as the bell rang.
The two people sitting next to each other looked at each other, Shinichi felt a little guilty, but he still pretended to be calm and observed their expressions.
Fumino puffed out her cheeks and sulked, and didn't take the initiative to say a word to him until school was over.
