There is a traitor among us

　　After dinner, Shinichi went up to his room and was about to start his daily lessons.

　　The cell phone suddenly rang twice, and two messages came.

　　He took out his phone and before opening it, the content of the message was displayed in the prompt bar.

　　[Nino: What you said to me, did you also say it to other people?]

[Miku: Shinichi, have you confessed your feelings to everyone?]

　　Shinichi was confused for a moment, and before he realized what was happening, he felt a chill invade his heart.

　　When he regained consciousness and began to guess what had happened, his heart rate spiked again.

　　"What the hell, I just stay at home and still find Shuraba?"

　　He pressed his aching temples, trying to calm his shock.

　　If think about it carefully, nothing is surprising. After all, everything happens for a reason and there is a reward.

　　Who allowed him to flirt with so many girls without taking responsibility?

　　Unless he posts every time he confesses to a woman to inform others and balance everyone's information, he will definitely not be able to escape this kind of plot.

　　However, if he really did that, the things he encountered would probably be even more terrifying. Frankly speaking, Shinichi doesn't have the courage yet, he can only play tricks and take every step.

　　Now it's just Nino and Miku, and maybe more girls will ask such questions in the future.

　　If Shinichi couldn't even handle this kind of "appetizer", then he should decide to choose a woman as soon as possible.

　　After thinking about it, Shinichi quickly calmed down, but his rapidly working brain became very hot.

　　His fingers touched the screen, and a rich voice sounded in his heart.

　　[This is war]

　　On the other hand, he has admitted his feelings and no one can choose.

　　On one side there are girls who have crushes on each other.

　　If he made a mistake here and handled it inappropriately, it would be almost impossible for Shinichi who lost, to achieve his ideal goal.

　　So-

[Abnormal love relationships cannot be won by normal means]

　　The finger that touched the screen, at the last moment, moved away from the girls' reminder message.

　　Shinichi didn't immediately click to reply, but instead unlocked the screen, looked at the friend list on LINE, and found a friend named "Nakano Itsuki".

　　Then, he immediately called.

　　△

　　The atmosphere in the Nakano family's living room was getting thicker like never before.

　　Itsuki was looking around the corner of the sofa. Compared to Ichika and Yotsuba who were facing each other, and Nino and Miku who were staring at the phone screen, she was like a dessert that belonged in a meal. Excluded, don't know what she can do.

　　"Uuuuu, I have to think of something quickly. I didn't expect the situation to develop like this..."

　　For the sake of harmony, when Itsuki was thinking about what to do to reverse the worsening situation, LINE's unique call ringtone suddenly sounded.

　　She realized that the caller was actually Shinichi who was supposed to send a message to Nino and the others?

　　"Hello? Itsuki Is it convenient to answer the phone now?"

　　"It's convenient...But Asada-san, why did you call me here?"

　　Feeling a little panicked for no reason, Itsuki subconsciously looked towards Nino and Miku.

　　They looked at their phones, then looked at Itsuki.

　　(Why did he call you before he read us?) Itsuki seemed to be able to see through such hesitation.

　　Not only these two people, but Ichika and Yotsuba who were having their final battle on the cliff, also temporarily shifted their attention and looked towards Itsuki.

　　The focus of the four gazes was all focused on one person.

　　Itsuko was clearly the person with whom Shinichi had the least contact on this matter, feeling the most pressure at the moment.

　　Luckily, the voice on the other end of the phone, as gentle as the summer breeze, quickly eased his anxiety.

　　"The reason is not important. The important thing is, are you with Nino and the others now?"

　　"That's right..."

　　For some reason, Itsuki always felt that this sentence was an affirmation rather than a question. Shinichi asked this because she knew it was all there.

　　Itsuki not only answered him honestly, she even explained the current situation to him.

　　"We are having a family meeting. Everyone was in the living room now, and the atmosphere was a bit tense. Nino and Miku were in a bad mood. The conflict between Ichika and Yotsuba seems to have been completely aroused and entered a questioning state, but Yotsuba seems to have something unsaid, and she never speaks her true thoughts..."

　　Trying to use her own words to tell Shinichi what happened, and guessing her sister's thoughts, Itsuki felt her mouth was a little dry, so she stopped and took the water glass to drink some water.

　　At this moment, she saw other people looking at her with subtle expressions, and was speechless.

　　"What is it?"

　　She didn't understand why she was being targeted again.

　　Seeing Itsuki's confused look, the four of them looked at each other with understanding.

　　"The traitor is here," Ichika decided.

　　"Traitor," Nino sneered.

　　"There's a traitor," Miku looked on coldly.

　　"There's a traitor among us..." Yotsuba stroked her chin and muttered something, "Wait a minute, if Itsuki is Asada-san's spy, she should also be my friend..."

　　"Wh-What! I'm not a traitor or a spy! You didn't say you couldn't explain it, so please don't join hands to exclude me!"

　　Itsuki raised her voice and shouted, but her family members' gazes became more vicious.

Although it was a good thing that the atmosphere was a little more unified, for some reason, a feeling of sadness rose in her heart, which made Itsuki truly unhappy.

　　At this moment, Shinichi's calm and soothing voice came to her ears again.

　　"Thank you, Itsuki. You also want to tell me the current situation as much as possible for everyone's sake, right? I understand.

　　"Thank you, I already know what to say, so leave it to me... I have something to say to everyone, can you turn on the speaker for me?"

　　"Asada-kun… Alright, I'll turn it on now!" Itsuki was so touched, she turned on the speaker obediently, and put the phone on the table.

　　Then she raised her head, looked at them confidently, and said solemnly:

　　"Asada-kun wants to say something next. Please put aside your prejudices for now and listen carefully!"

　　"…"

　　As the words came out, the cold gaze became sharper.

　　"Itsuki-chan, have you been brainwashed by Asada-kun..."

　　"There's no hope, this guy..."

　　"Stalkers evolve into religious fanatics, harmonious worshipers..."

　　"You look more like a loser than my friends. Was it my imagination…"

　　Facing these hurtful comments, Itsuki turned a deaf ear to them. As she said, she listened carefully to the sound in the microphone echoing in the living room.

　　"Good night all. Although it was a bit sudden, I generally understand what happened..."

　　Before Shinichi could finish speaking, Nino sneered and interrupted with great displeasure.

　　"Who cares about you, don't you know? Shi-kun... No, Asada Shinichi, can you explain it? Have you ever said the words you said to me outside the door to my sister once? How many times have you played the same routine?"
