บท 299: Miku's Round in Forest School
"For you, I want to become stronger."
At some point, all she did was to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Is this considered love?
Don't know...
However, the feeling of working hard for him... She really liked him.

"Miku, are you okay?"
As she recovered from her trance, her forehead hit a thick 'cushion', and the 'cushion' gently pushed her head back slightly.
Miku held her forehead and looked blankly.
At 12.30 p.m., noise and commotion was everywhere, students were walking on the paved roads, talking and laughing as they headed towards the scaffolding area in the distance.
Only the two of them stepped on the grass area outside the path, looking very conspicuous.
Shinichi withdrew his palm from the tree trunk.
"What are you in a daze for? It's dangerous to walk like this."
"I..." Miku looked down at her palms, then at the tree in front of her.
She realized that they were going to the meeting point at the barbecue area for lunch now.
Then she accidentally started dazed, and almost hit a tree. Luckily, Shinichi held her forehead with the palm of his hand, so she didn't crash.
"...Sorry for worrying you." She lowered her head.
"It's not that I'm worried, it's your sister who is worried." Shinichi pointed to the lottery that was lined up in front, "Let's go, everyone is waiting in front."
"Um."
Miku kept her distance from him, and followed behind him.
Shinichi turned his head and glanced at her, hesitated for a moment, and said: "You better hold on to the hem of my clothes, or you will be distracted after a while. It's fine to hit a tree, but it's not nice to run over someone."
Miku looked at him, then reached up and took hold of the hem of his sport coat.
"What's that...?"
Seeing her shy, Shinichi looked away.
"If you accidentally get into a daze, just hit me in the back."
(Does this... Mean only he can touch me?)
Even though Shinichi's tone didn't sound like a domineering president at all, Miku still thought so.
She was relieved that she had firmly declared his right to belong. She quickened her pace and her lowered head seemed to want to curl up on his back.
This time, Shinichi added: "By the way, if you crash once, you will be punished for cleaning the women's bathroom for half an hour at night. It's very dangerous to be dazed while walking, and you can't take it lightly."
Miku: "😐"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
She let go of a corner of his clothes, passed by him expressionlessly, waved her hands back and forth to vent her anger, and walked forward swiftly.
Shinichi glances behind her blankly, no dogs, Godzilla, or donkeys chasing her, why is she walking fast?
"I was afraid to hit a big log, so I left first."
Miku said a few words and disappeared into the crowd.
Shinichi was silent.
(Don't think I can't hear you scolding me, how can a smart person like me, be a boring log and not be able to understand?)
(But you don't even think about it, in front of so many people... It takes a lot of courage to ask you to walk while holding a corner of my clothes, if someone sees this...)
Shinichi looked left and right. Luckily, there weren't any flat-chested beauties who would secretly threaten him, so he was relieved.
"It's so hard to be a good person..."
After complaining in a low voice, he quickened his pace and followed Miku who looked angry.

For Miku, the forest school was indeed very important, as it had paid off the hard work of several of them for a month, and this was their first crystallization of cooperation.
If it could be successful, of course she would want to see everyone happy celebrating their successful happy ending, and she would also feel nervous and anxious about the possibility of failure...
However, this is not the main reason for her efforts.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
At the activity center, Miku said to Nino who was holding the tablecloth beside her.
Nino was about to rush her back, thought of something and asked: "By the way, did something happen between you and Ichika?"
Miku only showed surprise for a moment, then answered quietly, "Why ask me all of a sudden."
"I was busy and forgot, now I just remembered and asked you directly." Nino shrugged, this harsh and direct answer left Miku speechless.
"…So, that's why you dragged me here when I couldn't hold back my piss?"
After a thoughtful silence, the calm eyes under the bangs showed a hint of disdain, Miku said: "Nino is really a ghost beast, called a ghost beast."
"Don't give me random nicknames!" Nino could barely hold down the tablecloth and said angrily, "Quickly say it! Long story short, I wouldn't believe you for ten seconds. I can't take it anymore!'
Miku shook her head slowly.
"I was just kidding, but I didn't expect you to actually… When did you get so naughty like that? I have to tell everyone!"
Nino's expression darkened, revealing a sweet and deadly smile.
"Give you a chance to reset your language... If you don't answer seriously, I will really get up and show you what will happen."
Miku said casually: "Then let's give it a try? Only Nino, how could I be afraid—"
Nino sneered and took out her cell phone.
"Hello? Asada? Come here now, I'll put on a good show…"
Miku grabbed the phone with a blushing face, then hurriedly said into the phone.
"Shi-Shinichi, there's nothing wrong, don't..."
In the ear, there is silence.
She looked at the pitch-black screen, and finished what she had yet to finish.
"Listen to the bullshit…"
After the body froze for three seconds, her face flushed.
"Nino—!"
Her voice that was always gentle suddenly increased by an octave, Miku clenched her fists and continued to beat Nino's chest.
"Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid-"
"Pfft! Pfft ha ha ha ha ha~"
Nino couldn't hold back her laughter.
She blocked her fist as she spoke.
"You're so cute, Miku... You're fine, hahahaha, how can someone be so simple like you~"
Miku gritted her teeth, and there was a trace of panic in her heart showing through. She was so embarrassed and could only let Nino molest her.
Fortunately, she was able to use this as an excuse to avoid Nino's question.
With a snort, she ran away and as she walked towards the toilet, Miku bit her lip lightly.
The matter between her and Ichika shouldn't be known to others.
Not only Nino, not even Shinichi...
If they do, everyone might have a bad impression of Ichika... While she wants to get closer to Shinichi, she hides her heart because she cares for her.
Ichika like that, must be difficult for others to understand, right? But Miku knew, she could understand her mood.
—The more you like someone, the more you want to get close to them, no matter what method you use.
...
After returning from Mafuyu, Shinichi was about to go to the bathhouse to take a bath.
Unexpectedly, he was blocked on the way again.
First Itsuki, then Nino, and Ichika who just confessed...
"Miku, it's so late, why don't you come back?"
Shinichi sighed, he prayed that he would not see Yotsuba... How could the Nakano quintuplets have a tacit understanding of what to do.
"I'm waiting for you."
Dressed in conservative pajamas and a light blue scarf, Miku walked slowly in front of her.
Shinichi didn't back down, but looked left and right to see if there was anyone. Now, they sure know how to pick a time and a place, and it's a little corner so remote that no one will ever come to visit.
Alright, let's guess where Yotsuba will ambush next...
"...You are thinking of other women."
Miku said this sentence, which surprised Shinichi.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I am right in front of you, but you are showing an expression that seems to be thinking about another woman." Miku puffed out her cheeks.
"Shinichi, stupid, I hate you the most."
"...Uh, sorry?"
Shinichi didn't know how to react.
Miku's reaction was completely unexpected.
"For the sake of the fireworks, I'll forgive you for now." Miku was about to say with a smile, "A blue samurai sword... Shinichi, where did you find that weird fireworks?"
"Customized..."
"It's no wonder that everyone has a picture that represents themselves... It's great for everyone."
For some reason, Shinichi heard a sense of danger from this sentence.
"Because I like Warring States generals, so it's a samurai sword..." Miku returned to her usual composure. "In the end, I didn't even feel the least bit surprised… It was so disappointing."
"That's really sorry..." Shinichi was about to speak, but saw her suddenly tiptoe, put her forehead on his chest, and said softly.
"I lied to you, I'm so happy."
Staring at her hair flowing on his chest, Shinichi didn't know where to put his hand.
"You're welcome..."
After the words fell, she still didn't move her forehead, and just leaned against his and continued to speak.
"Shinichi is an exaggerated person. Even though I said no, you still forced me to stand up. A group of people looked at me with terrible looks."
Shinichi really wanted to correct her statement, but if he corrected it, it would be tantamount to saying that her thoughts were not correct. For the sake of his integrity and reputation, he still chose to keep his mouth shut.
And from a practical point of view, there is nothing wrong with her statement.
Miku continued without stopping.
"Shinichi is a tough person. In the end, everyone laughed and praised that the show was amazing, gave people a sense of shock, and managed to save Forest School."
"Shinichi is a person who can be trusted, and you have done everything you promised."
"...I did it like you did."
Shinichi smiled and patted her head.
"Thank you for your hard work, very good."
Trembling all over, Miku raised her hand and held it against her head.
Her head was still resting on Shinichi's chest, refusing to lift it, while her fingertips trembled slightly rubbing between his fingers.
In the end, she intertwined the ten fingers of both hands in a stiff motion, slowly placed them by his side, and then clenched them even tighter.
Shinichi watched her movements, from surprise to hesitation, and finally turned into tenderness.
He stretched out his other hand and stroked the back of her head, responding to her last bit of fear.
"You did what I couldn't do."
"Um, that's my guts."
Miku lifted her face and looked at him.
She looked at him with a smile.
As if saying, "I like you", is reflected in one's eyes.
Shinichi looked away, knowing that Miku heard his heartbeat getting louder, and also found that under this kind of intimate contact, he seemed a little unbearable.
Miku was like that, no one would be unmoved seeing him.
However, right after the incident with Fumino, Shinichi finds that he has become a strange being who can only do so much but dare not speak.
People called this kind of man who was only proficient in his moves and didn't even make a promise to the other party a fuckboy.
"Shinichi..."
Miku spoke again, in a serious tone.
Shinichi asked nervously.
"W-what is it?"
He had a feeling that Miku would confess in person next time, so he subconsciously averted her eyes.
If Miku confesses seriously, even if Shinichi hasn't confirmed his true intentions, but this time, he must give a true, non-impulsive, heartfelt response.
It's really bad to have romantic feelings for more than two people at the same time.
Shinichi managed to calm down, and after making some mental preparations, he listened to what she seemed to be saying.
"You smell like Ichika."
"?!" Shinichi opened his eyes wide.
"Also, you held my hand and thought of another woman again."
"?!!!" Shinichi broke out in cold sweat, and his back felt cold.
The smile on her face disappeared slowly, Miku squeezed her hand expressionlessly.
"Hmph, first come, first served..."
(Ichika, I totally fought you.)
(But it doesn't matter, I'll find you a piece of cake to eat before you starve to death, or find a piece of land to bury you properly. I remember a sister once robbing a man...)
Thinking of this, Miku couldn't help but laugh.
Even if they were quintuplets, even if they liked the same guy.
(As long as she likes us differently, that's fine.)
(After all, she gets to choose who she wants to choose.)
(And now, he clearly wants to be eaten by me… Well, it should be like this, right, his heart just skipped a beat.)
(Thus, I have a high chance of winning. Anyway, I will properly entertain you.)
