405 Tachibana Rui, you are plotting against me!

　　Covering it up at this time would only make it even more embarrassing.

　　Shinichi let go of all resistance and opened the lid of the bento, revealing a large pink heart on top of white rice.

　　Shinichi once again remembered when Rui handed him this lunch. The expression on her face seemed to hold a smile.

　　(Tachibana Rui, you are plotting against me!)

　　"Wow, what a beautiful heart!" Fumino said amazed at Shinichi while holding back a smile.

　　"It seems like imouto-chan really likes you. This is the first time I've seen true love bento... And you can cook it so well at such a young age. I really envy Asada-san!"

　　"Amazing. Apart from the taste, the color and fragrance are very good."

　　Rizu's focus is different from Fumino's, as the daughter of a restaurant, the first thing she focuses on is the essence of the food, not its luxurious appearance.

　　"This is actually a love bento…" At this time, a young man with hair parted in the middle came.

　　"I didn't expect to see a true love bento in this era," The young man nodded.

　　"Hmph, he must have done it himself. How could a little sister making love bento for her brother exist in the real world!" The toothy glasses man said disdainfully.

　　"No, these girly decorations and side dishes… Must have been made by a girl around fifteen years old!" The other man's eyes were shocked.

　　"Is that real?"

　　"That's real,"

　　"Turns out it's real..."

　　"A little sister's handmade love bento…"

　　"Love bento..."

　　"Love..."

　　"Have you had enough love?"

　　Shinichi slapped the table and stood up, looking at the crowd gathered around him, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he said angrily: "Why are there so many people coming to see my bento! Have you all finished eating? It doesn't matter to me if you finish it, I haven't finished eating yet, please don't cause trouble for me here!"

　　"Okay, we respect your opinion." The boy with middle-parted hair shrugged and turned around, "By the way, my name is Tanaka."

　　"Keep going?"

　　"Then enjoy it, bento bento." The man waved his hand, "Anyway, I'm just watching."

　　"Keep going?!"

　　"Impossible, in fact there is a younger sister who loves her older brother…" The toothy glasses man left in despair, "Anyway, I only recommend the little fox…"

　　"Ah, that's enough, can't you guys go m!" Shinichi resisted the urge to pound the table, waited for the group of passers-by who had appeared out of nowhere to leave, then sighed.

　　Shinichi's expression returned to normal, as if he had forgotten his joke, he turned to Kei and said uncertainly.

　　"Is there any problem?"

　　"...Senpai, let's eat first." Kei pointed to the chair next to the rest area.

　　"I just wanted to talk to you about going to the beach. I'll wait for you there first, okay?"

　　Shinichi nodded: "Then wait a moment. I have to take care of schoolwork after dinner."

　　"Well, there's no need to rush. It will be over soon anyway." After Kei finished speaking, she turned around and left.

　　Shinichi glanced at the girl's back, then looked away.

　　However, he found that Fumino and Rizu were looking at him with wide eyes.

　　Shinichi sat a distance away with his lunch box and spoke.

　　"What's wrong, that damn expression."

　　"I just heard very informative news…" Fumino muttered, "Asada-san, are you going to the beach with an underage girl?"

　　Shinichi's eyebrows rose: "Sorry, I'm still underage too, okay..."

　　"Shinichi-san has a very good relationship with underage girls," Rizu looked at Shinichi expressionlessly.

　　Fumino quickly agreed: "That's right, we are underage girls too!"

　　"Then what do you still care about…" Shinichi explained helplessly, "The student council has organized a summer trip. We will go to the beach and can bring family members together… At that time, I, the president, Fujiwara Senpai, my little sister will all come."

　　"Oh~" They both nodded, then Fumino thought seriously, "Wait a minute, I remember that's not the point…"

　　A moment later, she slapped the table and stood up: "By the way, Asada-san's little sister is actually a fifteen year old girl? Only one year younger than us?!"

　　Only then did Rizu react, "When I heard Shinichi-san showing off his little sister, I thought she was an elementary school student..."

　　Shinichi was stunned: "Didn't I tell you? Rui is a high school student this year and is studying at a high school in another city."

　　Both of them shook their heads.

　　When they find out that the person who made lunch for Shinichi is a girl the same age as them, the meaning of this love suddenly becomes different.

　　Moreover, it seems that his younger sister is not his biological daughter, but a cousin...

　　Although there will be moral issues, according to Japanese law, cousins can marry...

　　In other words, not only does Shinichi live with someone he can marry, but he even makes love lunch for him?

　　Fumino felt very angry and wanted to bite Shinichi, who was very popular wherever he was.

　　But she looked at Rizu next to her. The scene of that day flashed through her mind, as if cold water had been poured on her body. She took back her anger and became worried instead.

　　How will Rizu react after hearing this...

　　Looking at Rizu, her expression was dull and unchanging.

　　"So." Rizu picked up her pen and continued writing the topic.

　　Fumino blinked.

　　Doesn't she care?

　　"Haaa…" Who knows why, but her mood suddenly became gloomy.

　　Fumino turned her attention back to the notebook in front of her, and stopped talking.

　　The atmosphere became silent.

　　Shinichi glanced at the two people. This time it wasn't just Rizu. He didn't know what Fumino was thinking at the moment.

　　He chose to start enjoying this love lunch.

　　Well, since it's delicious, it's better not to worry about being teased by Rui.

　　△

　　"...Just that. When you get to class next time, remember to use the problem-solving method I told you about to follow the questions. You should be able to understand it better than before."

　　After packing his stationery, Shinichi took his backpack and stood up.

　　"Then I'll go first."

　　"Have a nice trip~" Fumino waved her hand casually.

　　Rizu stopped writing, raised her head and said.

　　"I'm sorry, Shinichi-san, but I'm begging for your help."

　　"What?"

　　She pushed up her glasses and spoke with a serious expression.

　　"If you have free time during the holidays, can I study at your house?"
