545 Final confession

　　If someone asked Shinichi if he wanted to have a harem, there was only one answer.

　　Absolutely not.

　　What was written in the notebook were not various notes that made him want to commit suicide after reading them three years later, but a guidebook for beautiful girls.

　　The more he cherishes it, the less will he desire to tarnish those pure and clean emotions, and the more carefully will he wish to respond to things equally.

　　That's why he became angry because of this simple sentence.

　　"Does not make sense. That's a question that doesn't make any sense at all."

　　The blood in his body turned cold, and Shinichi's lower tone was as cold as Mafuyu's.

　　"If you think so, that's up to you. Just go ahead and tell everyone that I'm a bastard who wants to start a harem. It's fine if you want to spread this news throughout the school. I don't care about my reputation. There are many people who are willing to believe me."

　　It was a lie, but Shinichi actually cared.

　　He really liked the title "Immovable Second King" and didn't want it to become "Immovable Harem King".

　　But because of his anger in his mind, Shinichi was too lazy to worry too much, he expressed his frustration and dissatisfaction to Nino.

　　"It feels good to chat without having to take responsibility. I hope your future boyfriend can tolerate your personality, Nakano Nino."

　　"You…" Nino shook her body, all the aura she had just now disappeared completely.

　　Clenched her fists and said loudly in red.

　　"What are you doing! Just because of these words, you—"

　　"Words are deadlier than you think. Don't you understand this? I'm going home to open my harem. Please help yourself."

　　Cutting off her words, Shinichi lost all his patience, grabbed his collar, and turned around coldly.

　　In order to prevent them from getting hurt and so that everyone can get along happily, all his efforts so far were actually considered by Nino as preparation for starting a harem...

　　He knew without looking in the mirror that his expression must be very ugly.

　　His heart was full of annoyance, discomfort, and complaints that he would never admit.

　　(What kind of nonsense is this?)

　　(Did I ask you to like me? Wouldn't it be better if everyone were just friends? Aren't you the one who comes first when it comes to confessions and teasing?)

　　(If I really wanted to have a harem, wouldn't I have taken the initiative to take advantage of you by now?)

　　(This is really annoying... If you want me to express my opinion, just say so)

　　(Instead of saying "I like you," just say "Please date me!" and I can reply "Sorry, let's just be friends." Wouldn't this make everyone relax?)

　　(I don't care if I have dozens of girlfriends, one, five, or more. What I care about is your feelings. What I care about is whether the person I care about will care about this issue!)

　　(Open a harem? Do you want to end all your efforts with a joke like this?)

　　"...Ah."

Shinichi suppressed all the negative emotions in his heart.

　　Even now, Shinichi still believes that taking out his anger on women is the worst thing to do.

　　But he was not so humble that after being slandered like this, he could immediately talk to her in a good voice. He could only choose to leave this sad and bad atmosphere as soon as possible.

　　The next time he contacted her, he would pretend he didn't remember the incident and continue treating her as usual.

　　As for Nino's feelings, it has nothing to do with him, maybe one day his importance in her heart will become less and less... Then there is no need to care.

　　Shinichi shook his head and clicked on his phone screen to see if anyone had sent him a message during this period.

　　The corner of his clothes was suddenly pulled.

　　Then, her weak voice sounded.

　　"You clearly know... You know that words can be very destructive... You also know that I like you, but you said those words to me..."

　　"Don't you know that you won't hesitate?"

　　Shinichi stopped and said with a cold face without looking back.

　　"You want to hear the truth?"

　　The corners of her clothes squeezed tighter, and Nini forced herself to stabilize.

　　"Hmph, a cruel answer… Better than a wrong answer."

　　After a mumble like that sounded along with a deep breath, Shinichi felt a little stiff, but Nino let go of her hand.

　　"Just say it. I prefer to be frank. Crying over broken love is not my style."

　　The fear in her voice disappeared, and Shinichi turned around, Nino was smiling through tears.

　　"I just said the wrong thing. Forgive me. Maybe I'm too anxious? I'm afraid that if I continue like this, I will obey your tenderness and gradually become inseparable from you. Even though I can only get love divided into several parts in the end..."

　　She shrugged and said, "I don't want to be too modest."

　　"I also know that you are not the type to play with women's feelings. Besides, I like you being so stupid and gentle, so I apologize for what I said earlier… The word harem doesn't suit a man who is too serious like you."

　　Nino laughed helplessly, her eyes looked at him without evasiveness, and her tone was filled with determination.

　　"Okay, I'm done apologizing. Let's rest."

　　Shinichi turned his head expressionlessly.

　　"This time, give me an answer."

　　In the past, because she was afraid and knew she would most likely be rejected, Nino only dared to confess her love and did not dare let any ambiguity become clear.

　　But now, there was no point in being afraid.

　　"For the last time, I like you... Please date me."

　　Different from before, her confession was very clear.

　　"…"

　　Shinichi opened his mouth slightly, his expression was only complicated for a moment, and then became firm.

　　For both of them, this choice may be the most suitable for each other.

　　"Correct..."

　　Buzzing—

　　But at this moment, the cell phone suddenly vibrated.
