บท 332: Overnight stay
It was like a pea-sized drop of water hitting the roof.
Shinichi walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water in his hand, looking confused. The sky outside the window grew darker.
The black clouds turned black, and the wind began to move and the window frames rattled non-stop. Several drops of water fell on the transparent glass, which became the beginning of the storm.
Before witnessing the sudden rainstorm, Shinichi went upstairs first.
When he opened the door, Fumino had just closed the window, and Miku had also put down her cell phone, and turned to look at him when she heard the door open.
"Call your family. The rain will get heavier after a while. It's dangerous to walk back in this weather."
Shinichi looked at the weather site, and a heavy rain report had been issued for the nearby area, and thought the next stop would be their place.
The two nodded, and after taking out their mobile phones, they thought of something, their fingers resting on the screen, and didn't make a call for a long time.
Shinichi couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?"
They looked at each other, as if discussing who should speak first. In the end, Miku spoke first.
"I… Don't want everyone to know I'm here now…" She bit her lip, she twitched her fingers, and said in a low voice, "If I get caught, what will happen to Nino Yihua and Ichika? ... Not to mention father and Ebata-san... So..."
Miku didn't finish what she said, and her sentence was a bit jumbled up, but the two people present understood what she meant.
When it was Fumino's turn, she smiled bitterly, "My relationship with my father isn't very good. If I cause trouble for him in this pouring rain, I'm afraid it'll make the atmosphere even worse, even more awkward….
"Besides, he looks like he has an important meeting to be held today..."
"Then let me call a taxi for you." Seeing them in a dilemma, Shinichi immediately checked the taxi's telephone number, "My mother saved some money, she said, for study expenses, which can be used. To pay for a taxi, you don't have to be polite, more importantly get home safely."
Afraid of losing face, Shinichi specifically added: "Don't worry about money, you can pay it anytime, anyway we meet every day at school."
The two girls fell silent, Shinichi spoke in such a firm manner, if they objected at this point, wouldn't that be the same as saying clearly that they wanted to stay at his house for the night?
It's fine if they are alone, but in front of a "love rival"… It's a pity that they really don't have the courage.
However, when Shinichi was about to call, Fumino pursed her lips tightly, she had made her decision, she grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room.
"Asada-san, come with me."
"Wait..." Fumino took Shinichi and the door slammed shut, leaving Miku alone in the room with an astonished expression on her face.

So that Miku wouldn't hear, Fumino even brought Shinichi up the stairs.
Luckily, Fumino didn't know how to use the kabedon method inherited from the Nakano family, but stood in front of him in a very casual manner.
"Asada-san, please don't misunderstand what I'm saying next!"
Shinichi motioned for her to continue talking.
Fumino took a deep breath, even though she wanted to speak, the shame in her heart still couldn't be controlled.
A blush appeared on her face, she lowered her head, and her voice was low.
"I don't want to go home tonight."
"!?"
Even though he had prepared for a long time, Shinichi was still deeply shaken when these words were said by the beautiful girl in front of him. If he didn't grab the handle in time, he might just slide down.
Shinichi held back his heartbeat which was beating faster.
"Is there a reason?"
"This..." Seeing Shinichi still pretending to be calm, Fumino felt embarrassed in her heart.
"It's hard to say, I just thought… Taxis are really expensive, right? Instead of spending so much money to return to that empty house, it's better to stay here and ask Asada-san to teach me how to study. "
"Anyway, my dad doesn't care where I go, just wait for him to call and tell him that I'm staying at a classmate's house… No, maybe he's sleeping in the research room today, so he doesn't know if I'm home or not."
Fumino smiled lightly, but Shinichi could see a bit of helplessness in accepting that fact.
He didn't mention his mother from start to finish, Shinichi guessed something, and didn't say anything.
The atmosphere was silent, like a moment of silent conversation.
A hand suddenly patted his slightly drooping head, and at the same time, a voice sounded.
"Then stay."
Fumino was taken aback, her eyes wide, and she stared at him.
Shinichi continued to observe the smooth texture of the wooden floor.
"Even though we are of the opposite sex, is it normal for high school students to sleep over at their classmates' houses after study sessions?"
Speaking of fallacies that even he didn't believe in, were the reasons he gave to his impulsive choices.
"By the way, I still have a guest room. Even if it has not been used for a long time, it is usually cleaned. I might be able to sleep after tidying it up."
"For pajamas, mother is very frugal. She doesn't throw away clothes that don't fit. You can check to see if one works for you. When the time comes, you can wear it after washing. "
"If you get up early tomorrow to pick up your school bag, you won't be late for school."
"And your personal safety, you don't have to worry about—"
Fumino interrupted his regular explanation.
"I'm not worried."
Fumino bent down, leaning on Shinichi's arm, her head resting on his shoulder.
She closed her eyes, and opened her mouth gently.
"I believe you."
Shinichi slowed his breath and wanted to embrace the warmth beside him.
In the ear, Miku's dreamy voice sounded at this time.
"Shinichi... I like you the most..."
His heart hurt, Shinichi stopped his hand movement.
Not backing down or answering, he just made a low, slightly hoarse voice.
"I also believe in myself."
"But two people don't deserve to be alone, so I plan on letting Miku stay."
"It just so happens that she has a handheld with her, so you two won't be bored at night."
Fumino felt complicated, and she looked at Shinichi.
A faintly familiar smile appeared on her face.
"Yes that's correct."
It was raining heavily outside the house, and the wind was blowing everywhere.

The two returned home together, and all they saw was Miku with a somber expression, hugging her knees, curled up in front of the bed.
Before Fumino could speak, Shinichi walked over and flicked her forehead lightly.
"Asada's house is open for overnight tonight, and the accommodation is free. Does this lady need to make a reservation?"
Miku's expression lit up and nodded vigorously.
"Want to!"
