บท 860: In the subject of love, we can’t learn together
"Although the plans written on paper don't guarantee anything."
Facing the doubtful gaze of the two girls, Shinichi spoke seriously.
"But at least, I want you to know what I'm thinking about the future, to prove that I'm not sentimental and really want to be with you forever."
Those who have never fallen in love are always a little naive.
Shinichi is the type of guy who is very naive, no matter in his past or present life.
He believes that first love is forever, that once he falls in love, his heart will never change.
Even though he's only fallen in love for the first time and is liked by many people, he still, with his naivety, believes that there's nothing wrong with wanting to be with the one he likes forever.
He doesn't know what others are thinking, but at least he will decide his own future because of his naivety.
"Have you shown this to anyone else?" Fumino asked.
Shinichi shook his head. "You're the first."
Fumino fell silent and sighed with a complicated mood.
"If you allow us to see it first, aren't you afraid Nino and the others will be angry?"
Shinichi said calmly, "Previous events made me understand that I can't treat everyone equally. There will always be order and inequality in distribution. If I'm not a superpower, there's no way to solve this problem perfectly..."
"So, I can only be good to you and give you everything I have. If you're not happy, I'll make you happy. If someone feels wronged, I'll find a way to make it up to them."
"Wouldn't that be exhausting?" Rizu pouted.
"That's what I have to do." Shinichi said bluntly, "In return, I can be with the person I like when I'm tired. Fortunately, I have nothing to say."
"So, I won't run away again."
Shinichi stared at the dazzling starry sky in front of him, its color the same as the lake and the sky.
"I will never let you have painful memories because I've stepped on many boats. I will risk everything to make you happier than anyone else in the world."
With a firm expression, he made a vow that an ordinary person couldn't utter.
Perhaps it's because he's too quiet around them, but the usual embarrassment resurfaced.
"..."
The girls didn't speak, they just stared at the starry sky and leaned their shoulders against each other.
Suddenly, a soft laughter sounded simultaneously.
"Indeed, this foolish thing can only be done by you, Asada-san." Said Fumino.
"Yes, just like we're all fools who can't learn liberal arts and sciences..." Said Rizu.
After a short pause, they both looked at each other, their smiles brightened, and they said in unison:
"—You're just a fool who can't learn to love!"
Shinichi fell silent.
For some reason, it was something he already understood, but when they said it in unison, his heart felt touched.
If he knew what normal love was...
Shinichi shook his head in his mind and smiled helplessly.
This assumption now makes no sense at all.
Their hands naturally approached, and he held them, conveying warmth between their fingers.
Their voices still echoed in their ears.
"In the subject of 'love,' we can't learn together."
"So, you have to work hard."
"Asada-san."
"The happiness I promised is up to you!"
Fumino said playfully, "If you fail, it won't be as easy to make you choose, right?"
Rizu nodded and said with a serious expression, "Hard work can indeed produce miracles, but when it comes to matters of 'heart' and 'emotion,' hard work alone can't solve everything."
"Come to think of it, dropping out of school after losing a bet isn't so bad..."
Shinichi looked very stressed.
"Besides, after you drop out, you have to wait for reincarnation before you can enroll again..."
"But don't worry."
His expression changed, and he raised his head confidently.
"The original inhabitants of 'Village A' have now evolved into the Demon King. Even if the opponent changes from a teacher to a cruel reality, I'll definitely be able to defeat you!"
"Eh? Shouldn't you be the hero?"
"This village is twisted..."
"Ahaha, anyway, a hero can only marry one princess, but the Demon King can have a harem..."
"How dare you say that, you scoundrel!"
Laughter and banter echoed by the lake.
After chatting casually for a while, it was almost time to leave, and Shinichi stood up first.
"Let's go, it's time to find Kashima-san."
"Wait, let me take a picture first!" After taking a few photos of the two beautiful starry skies, Fumino reluctantly took back her phone.
"Okay, let's go~"
"By the way, I have something else to give you." Suddenly, Shinichi remembered something, released their hands, and took out two carefully packaged items from the zip-keeping pocket of his bag.
Both of them were surprised.
"Pink..."
"Four-leaf clover?"
And there are two more.
"Yes, I secretly went to the forest next to the yard to pick them." Shinichi coughed and explained, "Do you know? There's a legend about this hot spring hotel..."
"'If you give a pink four-leaf clover to someone you like, their fate will be connected, and they will never be separated,' right?"
Holding the pink four-leaf clover in her hand, Fumino winked and teased him with a slightly red face.
"I didn't expect you to believe in legends like that~ Asada-san is very feminine."
"I thought you would believe it." Shinichi stretched out his hand and said, "How could a grown man like me become like a little girl?"
Rizu looked at the pink four-leaf clover, pulled her sleeve, and found scattered dirt marks on the edge of her sports jacket.
It was dry, it wasn't stained just now.
"Have you been looking for them for a long time?" She raised her head and asked.
"Fortunately, from after dinner until before the courage test meeting, I went to the kitchen to borrow two plastic bags." Shinichi answered honestly.
"You didn't miss the hot springs at all?!" Fumino felt sorry for him, "The hot springs are the main focus of this autumn trip. It's a rare opportunity. It's a pity if you don't bathe..."
"Besides, I'm not too eager to soak in hot springs." Shinichi waved his hand, but showed the same regretful expression.
"It's a pity there are only two. It would be perfect if I could find more than seven, eight, or nine."
"..."
The blood vessels on Fumino's forehead surged, and she wanted to punch him in the stomach, but when she saw the pink four-leaf clover in her hand, she tried hard to hold back the urge.
Now she's so touched that she won't argue with him for the time being...
Rizu also looked at the pink four-leaf clover and frowned slightly.
"Is it okay to give it to us? If the quintuplets find out..."
Surprised that she cared about this issue, Shinichi immediately laughed.
"I'll try to find a way to compensate them. I happened to pick two pink four-leaf clovers, and since I brought you here, it's only fair to give them to you... I hope you're happy."
"If you could use more romantic words, we'd be happier." Fumino sighed helplessly, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, and she quickly took out her phone and greeted them.
"Come on, it's rare for the background to be so beautiful, it's a shame not to take a photo together!"
She leaned half of her body against Shinichi's chest, raised her phone high, and showed a smile.
Rizu also approached Shinichi's ribcage and gently grabbed the corner of his shirt, her face slightly blushing.
They both placed the pink four-leaf clover next to their faces, surrounded by the beautiful starry sky matching the lake and sky.
"Okay, three, two, one... Udon~!"
"...Why not cheese?"
"I prefer udon..."
"Oh, it's okay to shout!"
Fumino quickly set it as the wallpaper, and then sent the photos to Rizu upon her request.
After doing so, Fumino put her phone back in her pocket.
Seeing this, Shinichi turned around and started to walk away: "Nothing to be photographed, right? Then let's go—"
"Wait a minute!
Fumino stopped him, as he turned back, she looked directly at him.
Rizu looked at her with a little confusion. Fumino said something in her ear. A blush suddenly appeared on the round-faced girl's face, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
After struggling for a moment, she seemed mentally prepared Rizu bit her lip and nodded eagerly, then stood firmly next to Fumino, and they both looked at him side by side.
Shinichi was slightly surprised and confused.
"What are you..."
Fumino cleared her throat and spoke with a smile.
"Overall, Asada-san has been very nice today, and we're mentally prepared to be with you."
Although happy, Shinichi always felt that wasn't what Fumino wanted to say.
"So...?"
"So, we want to give you a gift." At this point, although she wanted to pretend to be calm, the girl's cheeks slowly turned red, her eyes wandered, and she whispered a bit dazedly.
"Let you officially take our first kiss."
"?!"
Shinichi's eyes widened for a moment and his breath caught.
After a moment of excitement, he took a deep breath and walked towards them with firm steps.
"Wait, wait! Don't come yet! Stop!"
Fumino quickly reached out to stop him. She was a little afraid of his strong attitude, and even Rizu shrugged her shoulders.
Moreover, Shinichi's facial expression was exactly like "Because you said so, I'm not rude... Hand over your lips!"
It wasn't the first time this person kissed a girl, so why was he so impatient...
"I can let you kiss me, but there's a problem. I hope you think about it carefully."
Asking Shinichi to step back a few steps, Fumino patted her chest and took a deep breath, then looked at Rizu and nodded.
Then, she said to Shinichi with a serious tone:
"Ricchan and I, which one do you want to kiss first?"
Shinichi was stunned at that moment.
With the starry lake as the backdrop, the two girls looked at him with bright eyes, as if approving his thoughts.
"This is our first kiss, and whose first kiss do you want to do first?"
Seeing him suddenly silent, Fumino repeated her question, a smirk appearing at the corner of her mouth, and added another sentence.
"When you were trapped in the gym storage, you seemed to want to kiss me."
