Love Comes After Learning

Among the five fireworks that bloomed one after another, in her eyes there was only one grass-green firework in the shape of a rabbit, reflected in the canvas-like night sky, it was unprecedentedly beautiful.

As if she never wanted to forget this scene, she stared at the sky without blinking her eyes until the fireworks disappeared.

Yotsuba suddenly remembered that Asada-san had asked her the morning after her birthday party and staying at their house:

"Is there any present you want? 』

At that time, she, who was being clichéd, reflexively said no, and said that she didn’t need to give it to her, and it would be fine to give it to Yihua and the others, but she was taught by Asada coldly—if she wanted to give it, she would give it together , will not lose Nakano Yotsuba's share.

...So, this is the birthday present he's been thinking about since then?

The special fireworks shared by all five of them illuminated the starless night, and also illuminated the forest school that almost failed.

... Such an ending really has the style of Asada-san, as expected of him.

Yotsuba suddenly laughed, with her palm pressed against her chest, her smile softened as her heart beat louder and louder, and a strange emotion was revealed in her opened eyes.

"Asada-san, thank you."

Of course, talking is not enough here.

She was going to tell him face to face about this feeling.

I got the news that the evaluation of the bonfire party this time did not drop but rose from other people, and got the guarantee from Mr. Kirisu. Finally, Asada, who was at ease, took a bath and walked back to the small room with a fragrant body. Log cabin, get ready for a good rest.

Then, in the middle of the cabin and the forest, in the dark corner that he called suitable for cheating, dating and fighting in the field, he found Yotsuba waving furtively at him.

He hesitated for a moment, looked around, he was probably the last one to take a bath, right?It was almost twelve o'clock when he came out. Could it be that she had been waiting for him there until now?

Just a bad feeling...

Of course, he wasn't afraid of what Clover would do to him.Although her expression didn't look very calm, no matter what, she spent all her intelligence and physical strength to turn the tide. As a hero who dedicated herself, she shouldn't be killed, right?

Since this is the case, don't feel guilty, since no one is watching at this time anyway, the worst thing is to come out as soon as possible after asking her what's the matter; behave in an upright manner, without evil thoughts, so you won't be afraid of encountering ghosts if you walk too much at night.

As a result, Asada walked into this dark corner with a calm expression and a tense body.

Clover lowered her head when he came over, took a few deep breaths as if adjusting her mood, her plump chest heaved up and down, her appearance was very suspicious.

"What's the matter? It's so late, what's the matter?"

Asada maintained a posture that could jump back out of the shadow at any time, and asked tentatively.

Clover looked at the ground, exhaled lightly, and then made a sound.

"Asada-san, do you know?"

Hearing her soft tone, as if she was full of emotions and wanted to confide, Asada barely resisted the urge to say the four words "I don't know".

"When the wood fell, I was really scared...not because I was afraid that the wood would hit me, but because I was afraid that I would destroy the forest school that everyone put so much effort into."

"I'm also afraid that everyone who participated in this forest school will lose the smile on their faces because of the accident, and will blame us."

"I'm used to it. Trying hard and trying to change will only lead to bad results in the end. Everyone will be injured because of me. This is also the relationship I like about running... because it is the only thing I can believe in. "

"If the word "people" means supporting each other, then I almost collapsed in front of the bonfire, and I couldn't even believe myself, so who can support me? "

"I don't know...I don't know anything..."

"However, as Asada-san said, there must be results that can be obtained along the way of hard work, and no matter how poor the score is, it will not be in vain...

The classmates that I helped in the past all came back to help me at that time..."

Her voice began to tremble, her hair covered her expression, her vision was dim, and Asada could only quietly look at her clenched fists.

"I... Asada-san, I... After that, I really forgot how to smile... I really forgot my usual favorite smile..."

"With me like this, I can't bring back the smiles for everyone... You see, don't heroes always put on a smile to save everyone? Don't everyone smile when there is a bonfire?"

"But people who can't even smile themselves, how can they be qualified to save and brighten everyone's smiles?"

"That's what I thought...the result..."

Tears began to fall drop by drop.

"Ishida, Shirayuki, Inoue, Kubo, Ozaki, Kurosaki, High Bed Style, Katsuragi, Iino, Ishigami, Ogata, Sekijo, Furubashi..."

She said several surnames one after another, and waited until the tears choked her throat, then coughed twice, choked up and said.

"Every student is a hero..."

"They are all heroes who brought back my smile..."

"If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be able to fulfill the agreement with Asada-san, and watch the last and most beautiful fireworks with the happiest and happiest mood..."

She sniffed and slowly raised her face.

Big teardrops kept sliding down both sides of her cheeks, wet the already dark concrete floor; her crying face became even more embarrassing, her nose and eyes turned red like rabbits, looking pitiful.

It was as if the emotions she had borne for a long time had found an outlet, she cried quietly, while speaking to Asada in a hoarse voice that did not contain any sadness.

"Asada-san, for the first time, my hard work has finally paid off..."

Asada was silent, listening to her cry.

He knew that Yotsuba didn't need other people's comfort, and when she cried with joy, he just needed to be by her side.

Suddenly, he curled the corners of his mouth as if laughing, and half-closed his eyes.

...It's really disgusting, seeing her cry so much, her nose is a little sore.

There is a feeling that I have done something good, and I am moved and proud.

But it's not, is it?

It is precisely because Clover always helps others regardless of gain or loss, and always brings laughter and happiness to others.

Therefore, what she got tonight was just a belated reward, and it was all what she deserved.

It has nothing to do with Shinichi Asada, this is something that only a girl like Yotsuba Nakano can do.

"Hold, I'm sorry, because I was too excited, I let you see a bad side..."

After a few minutes, she finally stabilized her mood and wiped away her tears.

"It's nothing, you and I are just half a catty." Asada shrugged indifferently.

"That's it... By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to say."

Clover adjusted her appearance, squinted her eyes, like the sun breaking through the dark clouds, in this dark corner, she showed her usual bright smile.

"Asada-san, I like you!"

"Um……

Um? ! ! "

Asada reacted immediately, took two steps back with his eyes wide open, his heart beat involuntarily, his ears were slightly red.

Seeing that Asada's reaction was so strong, Yotsuba couldn't help but groan, turned her head, and laughed.

"Holding, I'm sorry, Asada-san... It's just that I heard that a boy will be very happy if a girl confesses to him. It's like receiving a fake love letter, and he can show it off to others... So... So I want to say use this Way to thank you…”

"But I didn't expect your reaction to be so big, it's like being confessed by Godzilla... Hee hee, Asada-san, I'm sorry, it was really fun... I, I swear I didn't mean to tease you... Hahahaha, My ears are so red, I can't, I can't help it, hahahaha..."

Saying so, her own face became more rosy, and she didn't know whether it was due to her very happy smile or other reasons.

But at least Asada confirmed one thing at this moment.

——If she hadn't cried once just now, he would definitely beat her until she cried now.

(Forest School. Four Leaf Chapter. End

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

"If you were braver, maybe I wouldn't be so entangled. 』

"May, I'll take drinks to comfort everyone."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." The eyes behind the lens were fixed on the record watch in his hand, and Wu Yue said without turning his head.

(What a serious kid...)

Yihua smiled, left the activity center, took a big bag and walked towards the volunteers who were preparing for the dinner party next to the square.

The afternoon sun was not too dazzling, and she put her other hand in front of her eyes to cover up the shadows. She looked at the sky and slightly narrowed her blue eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work, here comes a free drink~"

The busy students stopped their work after hearing this, walked towards her one after another, and thanked her with smiles on their faces.

"Thank you, Nakano-san."

"No, it's us who should thank everyone." Yihua tilted his head slightly, with a gentle and kind smile on his face, full of affinity, "Without everyone's help, we alone would not be able to support the entire forest. It is a school, so, you are the great contributors to us, and it is right to do these things.”

The voice was as melodious as an oriole, with a mature but playful temperament. The boys holding the drinks couldn't help showing intoxicated expressions.

"Wow..."

After she left, several male students who did not belong to the Volunteer Department but just wanted to get close to the beautiful girl and volunteered to help Zhangbu got together and discussed happily.

"Nakano-san, you really are a goddess!"

"I always feel that Nakano-san is very suitable to be on the screen. If she becomes an actress, I must become the number one fan..."

"Our goddess is as good as we can see for ourselves, but we can't be snatched away by others."

"I really want to invite her to dinner~"

"She shouldn't have anyone to associate with, right? Gentlemen, I have a bold idea..."

"Then just think about it, Nakano-san is the one who even the president of the football club who can stun a bunch of girls with his muscles alone directly rejects him, just you? It's just an extra shot."

"Tch, you are not the same... But, what type of boys does Nakano-san like? Has anyone asked her?"

"I don't know, is he a literary handsome guy? If it's Nakano-san, he should take the initiative to pursue that kind of boy."

"Tch, a normal boy can't refuse to be confessed by a beauty like Nakano-san, right? I really don't know who will be so lucky in the future, I really want to hit him."

"Wait! I suddenly remembered a scandal about Nakano-san. The credibility seems to be quite high... It is said that there is a man..."

Several people spoke in a low voice, their expressions gradually ferocious, their eyes glowed green, and they gritted their teeth.

"Kill him!" "Burn him!" "Anal him!"
