The Horn of the Beginning

　　There was no accident on the road, and the two bickered under the small umbrella. The atmosphere is very happy and whimsical.

　　After Shinichi sends Nino downstairs in a high-class apartment, he spreads his arms and pretends to be sorry.

　　"Ahhh... You actually know my address, it will be dangerous later..."

　　"Humph, you are not the only one living in your house." Shinichi said with disdain, "Don't worry, compared to other people, you are the safest."

　　"What?! You still want to attack my sister?" Hearing this, Nino glared at him angrily.

　　"What do you mean by that? Don't say as if I've done something to you."

Even though Miku seems to be looking for an opportunity to do something to him...

Shinichi turned around, and prepared to go home.

　　His mother just called and asked why he didn't come back so late, but during the call, Nino almost tripped over a rock and accidentally screamed. The voice entered the microphone, and his mother on the other end fell silent.

　　Then three seconds later, she shouted at an extremely high decibel: "Prepare red bean rice-!"

Before the eardrums burst, Shinichi hung up the phone, and seriously thought about whether to go to the internet cafe for the night.

　　It's just that if he doesn't come back, he will be even more misunderstood by his parents, and the vegetable bag in his hand will be damaged immediately if he doesn't freeze it soon, so he has no choice. But to go home, he still set off on the way home.

　　Nino stopped him this time.

　　"Hey, your shoulder..."

　　"Wet, I know." The feeling of the bandage sticking to his wound was very uncomfortable, but Shinichi still said lightly, "It's not all your fault, you insisted on sticking to me so I couldn't walk properly. "

　　Nino denied: "Who clung to you! I said go to the convenience store to buy a bigger umbrella, but you think that's a hassle."

　　Nino lifted her chin towards the apartment door behind her.

　　"Go upstairs, I'll lend you a towel. I'm not bad enough to let the person who just helped me hold the umbrella home wet."

　　Shinichi waved his hand, turned around and kept walking forward.

　　"Thank you for your kindness, but if I don't go home, the dish in the next few days will probably be red bean rice, so… See you tomorrow."

　　"See you tomorrow… No, couldn't a sentence be better for rejecting people! You must follow the basic laws when making up nonsense!" Nino stomped her feet and pouted slightly, "There is no reward for your good intentions, I hope you catch a cold tomorrow... Forget it, if you catch a cold, it will affect your work, hopefully tomorrow you sneeze ten times in a row!"

　　Nino also walked into the apartment, and just as she was about to press the elevator button, the elevator door opened by itself, and a girl was standing inside.

　　"Nino?"

　　Nino was stunned for a moment, her eyes fell on the umbrella in the girl's hand: "Miku, you want to pick me up?"

　　Miku nodded lightly, glanced at Nino, then looked at the pouring rain outside, with a slightly confused expression.

　　"You came home late, and it suddenly rained, you didn't answer calls, everyone thought you were stuck in the supermarket... You seemed fine, and you came back by taxi?"

　　Nino didn't answer right away, touching her shoulder, feeling the rain on her with her palm.

　　The side that is close to the man is basically wet, which is very different from her.

　　Thinking like this, even though Shinichi kept saying annoying things like "don't get too close", "respect the owner of the umbrella", "be careful I'll let you get wet", but the umbrella always faces her side, and as soon as there is wind, first he blocked the rain that was blowing at her, then used an irrelevant topic to distract her.

　　"Huh..." Nino lowered her head.

　　(Did you think I would be moved easily.)

　　(This little trick is nothing, a group of men on the street are more polite than you, with a bad mouth, you are hopeless...)

　　Nino raised her head, and revealed a helpless sigh.

　　"Nino, what's wrong?"

　　Miku tilted her head, "Why are you suddenly laughing so weirdly?"

　　"...It's no wonder I'm not smiling."

　　In a hurry to calm down, Nino got into the elevator, shook the big bag in her hand, thinking about what had just happened, the corners of her mouth unsmiling.

　　"In order to return the ingredients safely, I hired a very expensive driver."

　　Miku took out her cell phone and answered: "How much is it?"

　　Seeing herself in the elevator mirror, Nino was in a good mood

　　"Maybe… It's worth taking a moment to calm your mind!"

　　Some things are still vaguely unwilling to face, but some things are so obvious that there is no doubt.

　　——She was beside him, so close.

　　Therefore, on this path that she thought was right, she was absolutely not alone.

　　This is peace of mind.

　　"Not only does Nino have a strange expression, but she also says strange things like that..."

　　Miku was so frightened that her phone almost slipped out of her hands, and she looked up at Nino with a gentle smile in amazement.

　　"Could something strange have been done by the taxi driver?"

　　"Don't keep saying it's weird! I didn't do anything to that person!" Better to say otherwise..."

　　Nino's face suddenly became hot, remembering the act of clinging to her just now in anger, she looked away in panic, and quickly changed the subject.

　　"Have you finished today's progress? Remember to check all the medical equipment used in the forest school?"

　　"Done..." Miku answered honestly, then asked, "But checking on the progress should be Itsuki's job..."

　　She whispered.

　　"Hmph, one day..."

　　"?"

　　"It's okay~"

　　...

　　Shinichi's room at night.

　　In his notebook, there was an extra sentence.

　　[Nino wholeheartedly goes into jungle school preparation, unable and unwilling to study at the same time, trying to use this method to shed her reputation as an idiot and prove herself.]

　　At this time, LINE suddenly received a message.

　　It's from Miku.

　　"Shinichi, do you like people who like to study?"

　　Shinichi thought for a moment, "Of course. Not only learning, but people who are willing to do their best for something are also admirable."

　　"So." After an unclear message, she sent another sentence.

　　"I will try my best."

　　(What are you doing?)

　　Shinichi really wanted to ask, but when he touched his face, it felt a little hot, and his heart was beating too fast.

　　This must be a misunderstanding, right?

　　Shinichi glanced at the pile of love magazines beside him, thought for a moment, then decided to take out the unfinished documents and calm down.

　　He added sentences to the notebook.

　　[Miku has always felt that lessons and forest school itself are not important to her, what is important is...]

　　...

　　The next day.

　　The roof door is closed.

　　The wind is blowing hard.

　　Two teenagers met here for the second time
