Love Comes After Learning

The voice seemed to come from the distant woods.

"Hey, Asada-san, you know...

When I went for a morning jog in the park, an old man taught me a boxing trick. I heard that it can hurt people very much without leaving scars. "

As if a sleeping beast was slowly waking up, under her lifeless gaze, Asada truly felt the danger of his life.

An electric sense of crisis went straight from the spine to the brain, and a coolness rushed from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. A drop of cold sweat trickled down his neck. He swallowed and asked tentatively.

"Then, the name of that trick is..."

She slowly pressed her fist against Asada's waist, raised the corner of her mouth, and pulled out a bright smile without a smile.

"The ultimate trick, the tiger climbs the mountain hard."

understood.

It is one of the most famous moves in Bajiquan that can kill people.

It does hurt, and it doesn't leave a scar... After all, that's usually called a fatal wound, or the cause of death.

So, Asada spoke at the fastest speed of his life.

"Actually, you can't see your skin color clearly under such a dark sky, so I guessed it based on your eyes and voice."

Feeling that the fist was slowly put down, Yotsuba's eyes became warm again, Asada couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Celebrate, him, for surviving tonight...

So much for inappropriate interactions.

"Eyes and voice? Anything special?"

Yotsuba frowned, thinking about it carefully, she still didn't feel that she was different from everyone else.

Asada Makoto shook his head.

"From the performance point of view, no."

When he said this, Clover became even more confused.

"Since that's the case, how did Asada-san guess that it was mine? Is the deletion method still relying on intuition?"

Clover turned her head to look at him, and he looked back.

The two looked at each other, and for a while, neither of them spoke, as if they were communicating silently with their eyes.

As the evening wind blew, light pink hair swept across her fair cheeks, and a pair of big blue eyes were clear and bright.

Shinichi Asada suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, leaned against the railing with one hand, stretched out the other hand, poked the green hairband on Yotsuba's head casually, and smiled lightly.

"Because there is a rabbit that keeps chasing me behind me, saying things like, 'Asada-san, come on, run forward!', and I can see her encouraging eyes when I turn around...

This has happened several times, how could I possibly confuse her with anyone else? "

"Just because of that?"

"That's enough."

Answering firmly, Asada glanced at her stunned expression, smiled and continued to look at the starry sky: "I don't think I said it seriously, right? Thank you for your training during this period of time, you have helped me a lot, thank you, four leaf."

"..."

After a long time, she didn't make a sound.

Asada looked back strangely, just in time to see her turn her face away, letting her side hair hide her expression.

As if sensing his gaze, as if she had managed to squeeze out a voice from within, Yotsuba pressed her chest with one hand, and spit out words in a somewhat erratic voice.

"...At this time, please continue to look at the stars, don't look at me, I don't look good."

Resting his gaze on her burnt ears for a moment, Asada lowered his eyebrows and smiled, then looked away again.

Like him, Yotsuba is also the type who is not good at accepting thanks from others...

Time flowed slowly between the twinkling stars, and when Asada was almost fascinated by the stars again, Yotsuba took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

"Me too, I've wanted to say it for a long time—you're welcome, Asada-san!"

After finishing speaking, she relaxed her expression as if relieved, and a bright and energetic smile returned to her face again.

Asada said at the right time: "Then, the second question is..."

"About this... Asada-san, can I make a request for the second question?" She tugged on his sleeve and asked earnestly.

Asada looked down at her, frowned slightly, and didn't immediately agree.

"Tell me about it."

Clover blinked her sky-like blue eyes, grinned with sharp teeth, and smiled at him.

"I hope you can tell Wuyue and Sanjiu how you recognized them!"

"Don't give perfunctory answers like dark skin, just like what you said to me, Nino, and Ichika, it is Asada-san, you have observed us and accumulated bit by bit during the time you spent with us. up something.

Please tell them all of this! "

Because she felt very happy when she heard those words.

So I want Sanjiu and the others to feel this kind of happiness.

Yotsuba believes that if it is the person in front of her, as long as she is willing, she will definitely be able to bring the same feeling of happiness to her sisters.

She always remembers the teachings her mother once said very clearly and obeys them willingly.

——"One person's happiness, five people share it together."

Sanjiu's grievance at that time, Wuyue's happiness...these should all become the happiness she felt at this moment.

In this way, the warmth and satisfaction that is still full of the whole body cells in the body must become more and more pleasing, right?

Otherwise, there is absolutely no way to be truly happy.

"...Okay, I promise you."

Asada stared at her smile, and quickly nodded in agreement.

He didn't ask why, if it was for the sake of his family, then there was no need for a reason, or this had already become the reason.

Anyway, just talk to them in private, it's not troublesome, and it's not as shameful as saying it in front of five people.

"Well, then I'm relieved."

Yotsuba let go of Asada's cuffs, and stood side by side with him, looking at the distant starry sky together.

"Then Asada-san will ask questions. Except for strange questions, I will answer you super honestly!"

Weird question?Measurements?

Sorry, I already knew that...

Asada silently re-sealed that memory, and asked the question that was not answered just now.

"Are you afraid of screwing up Woodland School?"

"Yes." Yotsuba nodded very simply, with a calm smile, "Asada-san, you don't know, right? The real reason we transferred here."

Without waiting for Asada to respond, she continued speaking on her own.

"The school we went to had a make-up exam system. No matter how bad the previous exam was, as long as we passed the make-up exam, we could be promoted to the second grade. At that time, everyone studied hard for it. Even if they were all stupid, they worked very hard.

Fortunately, in the end, everyone passed. "

"This everyone, does not include you?"

Without waiting for her to interrupt, Asada said softly.

"Among the quintuplets, only you failed the make-up exam."

Clover lowered her brows, as if she agreed.

"Obviously, they won't leave you alone and go to school like this. Either repeat the grade together, or transfer directly to another school-your father chose the latter option and spent a lot of money to send you to Xiuzhi Academy Academy, I hope you can grow in such an environment."

He suddenly sighed: "...that's why during the midterm exam, you care more about your grades than I imagined."

——Obviously I should have gotten used to it, but my own efforts in learning have not yielded results.

Even so, I can't get used to things like dragging my sister back and causing everyone to leave the familiar environment because of me.

What Yotsuba cares about is not the grades, but the consequences of low grades.

Whether it's the transfer of the sisters, or Asada's wasted effort.

Be it academics, or forest school.

She was afraid of this—afraid of repeating the same mistakes, afraid of dragging everyone into the water again because of her clumsiness.

"... As expected of Asada-san, you really know everything."

Stretching her arms to support the railing, Yotsuba smiled bluntly: "Yes, that's it, I'm super afraid! I'm super afraid that everything will be messed up like an exam, and everyone will take care of me. Hesitant to pay the price.

Everyone here includes you, Asada-san. "

The hand holding the railing was slightly stronger, and she bit her lower lip suddenly, the lip under her white teeth turned white.

"Obviously I worked hard with everyone, and I obviously worked harder than the exam."

"I don't want...to be everyone's drag again."

"Really, I don't even want to die..."

She didn't growl, her tone was low and calm, but her voice began to become hoarse.

as she said.

Even if you want to cover up, you won't cover up; even if you want to be brave, you can't be brave.

Be super honest and answer all his questions.

Even if the heart feels uncomfortable and clenched into a ball, it's the same.

——The second thing she fears now is that Asada will look down on her after hearing these words.

"...I don't know everything, I just know what I know."

After Asada was silent for a while, he played with memes in a flat tone.

He wanted to shake off the slightly solemn and sad atmosphere at the moment, but Yotsuba probably hadn't watched the Monogatari series, and thought he just ignored the voice behind him, and didn't feel happy at all.
