Love Comes After Learning

Why……

Asada suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and moved his mouth when he wanted to say something, and slowly but unconsciously curled the corners of his lips.

He laughed again, but the smile was slightly bitter.

——Asada Shinichi, what a lucky guy.

No matter when, someone is silently caring about him.

No matter where, there are people who are offering encouragement to him like this.

The sky gradually darkened.

The voice of the radio announcement sounded, and crowds gradually gathered in the huge square from small wooden houses, sports areas, forest lakes, flower fields and other places. All [-] second-year students will gather here until six o'clock, The bonfire party has just begun.

And now, the Woodland School Committee is still busy.

After Asada joined the quintuplets, the final confirmation work began.

"Yihua, can I trouble you to help Teacher Kirisu adjust the equipment? She looks troubled."

"Okay... But the look in the eyes that seems to cut the stereo in half, I don't think it has anything to do with trouble..."

"Ernai, is the rehearsal done yet? Listen to the tongue twister."

"Today, we have a peaceful relationship with Kyoto... Wait, what does this have to do with the rehearsal!"

(*: The title of the thirty-fifth chapter of the quintile manga is a Japanese tongue twister.)

"Sanjiu, have you confirmed the safety of the ignition ceremony?"

"Well, the fire extinguisher is there."

"Yotsuba, I'll give you this megaphone. Help me patrol the neighborhood as quickly as possible. If you find someone secretly dating, don't be too polite. Sing the school song loudly for them."

"Got it! Wait a minute, sing the school song?"

"In May, I will leave the program arrangement to you. Reconfirm the itinerary with the clubs that have performances. If they dare to have any problems, just say that I will participate in the club funding review meeting next semester, and then turn it into a black box for each club. They won’t dare to ask questions when the history is announced.”

"This, this is not good... I heard that those clubs have powerful families, it's scary..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm just joking. They all know it well, just come as normal, and call me if there is any problem."

"Really..." The corner of Wu Yue's mouth twitched, and she laughed a few times.

"Hey, Asada-kun, are you 'a little' nervous?"

The others looked at him with the same speechless eyes.They were indeed very nervous at the beginning. After all, the main event was about to begin, and this was also the part where accidents were most likely to occur. It would be impossible not to improve their concentration.

But now that Asada made such a fuss, the whole atmosphere became indecent... Logically speaking, he wouldn't make fun of them again and again right now.

The most likely explanation for such an abnormal behavior is that he was too nervous and had to make jokes to ease his emotions.

Thinking of this, the quintuplets really want to laugh... Sure enough, the chairman of their family still likes to be brave as usual.

"Nervous?" Asada's body froze, his expression turned cold in an instant, he pushed the non-existent glasses on the bridge of his nose, and spoke expressionlessly.

"If you have time to talk stupid things here, why don't you hurry up and do something!"

Before his eyes became even more terrifying, the quintuplets dispersed with a whoosh.

Asada snorted coldly, and suddenly looked at Sanjiu who was motionless beside him.

"Why are you still here?"

"I'm done... Shinichi, you didn't give me any new instructions." Sanjiu pouted with aggrieved expression on her face.

"……All right.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

At [-]:[-], under the light-colored sky, the incandescent lights just lit up next to the stage in front of the square.

"Hi, hello everyone, I am the host of today's party, Nakano Nino from class A of the second year, please give me your advice~

Then before the official start, please line up the students in each class neatly, so that the teachers can roll their names~"

Nino's playful and energetic voice spread far and wide in the mountains and forests. Hearing this, a gloomy boy from class B of the second year complained in a low voice.

"Tsk, this guy can speak so nicely..."

"It's just that there's no need to talk to you like that, she can still hum, but why do you want to hear it?" Asada curled her lips and answered him lightly.

Uesugi Fuutarou gave him a sideways glance, obviously not believing: "That's really unimaginable... Have you heard of it?"

"I haven't heard of it, I lied to you."

"..."

See, sure enough.

Uesugi was speechless for a while, and after looking at him a few times, he suddenly said.

"Hey, do you have—"

"If you dare to say that I am a little nervous, I will make you a little hot, a little painful, and a little want to die in a moment-I heard that human beings have these feelings before they are reduced to ashes."

Asada looked at the unlit bonfire, threatening him nonchalantly.

"..."

I really can't talk anymore today.

After Uesugi consciously shut up and turned his head to ignore him, Asada sighed, took out a Bluetooth headset from his pocket and put it on, walked out of the class queue after calling the teacher's name, and dialed Kashima-san's phone number.

"Have you checked the fireworks in all five directions?"

"The son of a large fireworks factory is also a member of us. More than half of the fireworks festivals in Japan are held by his family, and it has been confirmed that everything is safe.As long as the remote control is pressed, the fireworks will be launched in the set order. 』

"Well, it's hard work. Don't spread this matter to the outside world. Let's stop here for the afternoon. Don't do those messy things in the future. Study hard and make progress every day."

"Don't worry, we've already been reflecting on it, and I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. 』

Responding to her apology casually, just when Asada was about to hang up the phone, Kashima hesitated for a moment, then said suddenly.

"Well, Asada-san, I want to ask..."

"Do you really like the princess...Fumino?she--"

Asada didn't speak, and ended the call directly.

He stopped and looked up.

Against the incandescent spotlight, the girl with earphones around her neck stands alone at the end of the class. Her petite figure looks a little lonely, as if she is about to melt into the night.

She stared at the stage and at the teacher who started to give a speech, her expression seemed indifferent and calm, without the slightest emotion.

Suddenly, as if sensing his gaze, Sanjiu turned her head away, her eyes quickly fixed on his figure, and she never let go.

As if the ice and snow had just melted, she showed a small smile.

"Shinichi."

Stepping his legs and trotting towards him, and standing still in front of him, Sanjiu noticed the earphones with thorn patterns hanging on his ears, and blinked suspiciously.

But he didn't ask anything, just caressing his chest like a child who found a secret base, his expression relaxed a little.

"Next, it's the ceremony of lighting the bonfire..."

"Yes."

He slightly bent his mouth, and led Sanjiu to the corner of the square, where the stage was behind him, facing the bonfire, the light was dim, and the location was hidden.

It is suitable for two people to be alone and do some inhumane things.

While the atmosphere was certainly good, they didn't come out of the crowd for a date.

Not long after, Yihua, Yotsuba, and Wuyue also left the class queue and joined the two of them.

Er Nai couldn't make it because he was busy presiding, but it didn't hurt, they just made an appointment to watch the bonfire lighting ceremony together, and this was the best viewing spot as expected.

The five chatted for a while, and not long after, a tall girl in bow uniform stepped forward slowly, and after a distance, the flaming arrow in her hand dangled, and after a while Aim for the bonfire.

The girl's face was expressionless, but it could be seen that she was a little nervous. Under the reflection of the fire, her face tensed up.

"It is said that the one who lit the bonfire last time was the vice president of the student union, Senior Sister Shinomiya."

Seeing that the surroundings fell into dead silence, Asada whispered a few gossips to ease everyone's tension.

"Senior Shinomiya is the most powerful person in the Kyudo Club. At the beginning, she shot the fire arrow into the gap between the camp logs with a relaxed and natural expression. This heroic figure was captured by the president of the track and field club. She is still a member of the Kyudo Club. The best tool for recruiting."

"Even if the strength of this sister-tail student in front of me is not as strong as that of Shinomiya-senpai, she is still a kyudo master who was shortlisted for the final of the county-level individual competition; I have tried shooting arrows without rockets ten times before, and I hit them accurately ten times. Now I should It’s not going to miss.”

"Sounds amazing..." Yihua rubbed her arms, her expression inexplicably complicated, "But as soon as you explain it, I have a feeling that something will happen..."

Asada: "..." Do you think I got poisoned milk?

"Clover, what are you doing?" Sanjiu tilted her head and asked.

Yotsuba put on the appearance of a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep, her eyes were fixed on the front, her blue pupils reflected the flickering firelight on the arrow, she was full of fighting spirit.

"If the shot really misses, I will rush over to intercept the arrow as soon as possible, and there will be absolutely no accidents!"

Hearing what she said, other people realized that they were actually standing in a straight line with the archer - if the student who was the younger sister didn't miss the shot, but accidentally shot too hard, they might be the ones who hit the arrow.

So the four quickly took Clover around in a circle, and at this moment, 'Beng! 'The sound suddenly sounded, and the dull string sound shocked the eardrums.

call out--!

With a gorgeous and chilling arc, the fire arrow pierced the air sharply with great force—although the angle was a little skewed, and when it entered the gap between the camp logs, it almost bounced off as if it hit something, but in the end, The fire arrow still disappeared smoothly among the layers of logs.

In the next second, with a crackle as a fuse, piles of inflammables were instantly ignited. With the sound of an explosion, the intense flames shot straight into the sky, illuminating the already completely dark sky.

Everyone's faces reflected the blazing orange fire, and their eyes widened in unison, as if even the chirping of insects, fish and birds was silent for a moment.

Then, violent cheers sounded like a volcanic eruption.

"Wow-!"

Nino also announced loudly at this time.

"Shuchiin Academy's [-]th forest school bonfire party*, now, officially begins!"

(*: Shuchiin Gakuen was founded in about 1700, but Japan officially promoted forest school activities in various schools in 1958, so I took a relatively vague value, please remind me if there are any mistakes or omissions.)

The five people looked at the crowd that was warming up like a bonfire, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and smiled at each other.
