Itsuki Five

The morning air is fresh and pleasant.

Naoki slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtain.

There was a soft sigh in his ear.

Naoki turned to look, Mafuyu's face appeared, a haggard and tired expression appeared on his face.

Even though Naoki took the medicine last night, for some reason, he had a fever all night. Mafuyu who was about to go after the lap pillow, naturally stayed behind and helped him put the towel with ice cubes, and poured water, wiped the body, and finally fell asleep by the bedside until dawn.

Mafuyu who is sleeping soundly, has lost a bit of his usual seriousness, and has a lot of weakness and composure, which makes people want to protect him.

Naoki couldn't help but extend his right hand.

"There's an extra strand of hair on the top of the head, what to smooth."

The right hand fell over Mafuyu's head, playing with Ahoge.

Then Naoki suddenly found that his right hand was starting to disobey.

Wait, how come the right hand can move on its own?

Hurry up and stop before Mafuyu wakes up, otherwise the consequences will be serious!

Too bad, I can't stop... Could I have a fever all night and develop into a perverted high school student?

After one minute.

Very comfortable.

The ahoge's fun is truly unstoppable. Under normal circumstances, let alone ahoge, and Naoki does not dare to touch Mafuyu, it will cause a thousand words review!

Seeing Mafuyu's cheeks slightly puffed up from her sleeping position, Naoki couldn't help but have evil thoughts.

"Do you want to cut your hair while you are sleeping?"

It was thought it was a side effect of having a fever throughout the night. Naoki, who had always been extraordinarily wise and never asked for trouble, had actually abandoned his rationality. Under the control of his instincts, his body stretched out its claws. To Mafuyu who was sleeping...

"If I don't seek death, then I won't die."

Naoki stretched out his index finger, lightly pinched Mafuyu's cheek, and sighed: "No wonder so many people know looking for death, because they can't control themselves at all."

"Uhhh..."

Sleepy Mafuyu, looking uncomfortable, frowned slightly, and opened her eyes in a daze.

Four eyes facing each other.

The confusion in Mafuyu's eyes quickly turned to sharp edges like an eagle's.

Naoki retracted his fingers and coughed lightly, "Would you mind getting on the bed and sleeping together?"

...

"I was wrong, sorry, please forgive me."

Naoki clutched his red forehead and apologized three times.

Mafuyu's face was cold: "Why?"

Naoki answered honestly: "If I don't seek death, then I won't die." and stop before you wake up.'

"I answered wrong, please give me another chance."

"You only get one chance, kill yourself."

Mafuyu took out the thermometer, glanced at Naoki's temperature, and after confirming that the fever had completely subsided, she snorted softly, turned around and left.

After chatting with Mafuyu all night, it was already 8 in the morning before he realized it, and Naoki didn't study last night, so he only asked for sick leave—

However, income from tutoring is charged on an hourly basis. If he didn't go teach the five sisters, he certainly wouldn't take the money, so he could evaluate the rest in peace.

Taking the phone and calling Itsuki to ask for sick leave, Naoki looked down at the pillow, then opened his right hand, and a few strands of hair flew into his palm without any wind.

"…I'm getting stronger."

Naoki quickly came to the conclusion that the fever all night yesterday really wasn't a common cold, but an evolution of superpowers.

It was just that Naoki couldn't be happy at all, and his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.

In him hands was the hair that had fallen out all night yesterday, one of the pink hairs was clearly Mafuyu's hair, while for the other dozen...

"Bastard! How could I lose so much hair?!"

"Is this what you call me getting bald and stronger?"

"I don't need superpowers like this in exchange for hair!!"

It's so sad to die at an early age, and even more heartbreaking to be bald at an early age. Even though he was a high school student, he had experienced a hair volume crisis that only middle-aged people experienced. Naoki looked at the dozen or so hairs in his palms, he felt unwell.

"Relax, don't panic."

Naoki took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Besides baldness associated with staying up late and eating, family inheritance is a more important factor."

"Fortunately, my father and grandfather weren't bald, and the future of baldness at an early age probably won't change."

"As long as I stay in a good mood and don't need superpowers, I should be able to effectively curb hair loss… Fuck me if I'm in a good mood!"

Naoki walked to the bathroom and flushed his missing hair down the toilet. As he came out, he heard the doorbell ring.

"Mafuyu sensei?"

Naoki walked to the door, looked out of the peephole, ahoge's hair swaying in the wind, "It's Itsuki."

"Asakawa-san, sorry to bother you."

Itsuki walked to the door, hands on his stomach, standing dignified.

Naoki was about to close the door, when Itsuki suddenly said "Wait a minute, there's more to come."

"Um?"

Naoki looked behind Itsuki.

A figure flashed around the corner, and another Itsuki appeared.

"Asakawa-san, good morning."

The second Itsuki walked to the entrance, the star hair accessories in the hair gently swayed, and turned around and said, "Enter."

Under Naoki's expressionless gaze, the third Itsuki came into view.

Then came the fourth Itsuki.

Itsuki's five...

"One, two, three, four, five… all here!"

The five Itsuki lined up in the living room, stood in front of Naoki, and started talking.

"I heard Asakawa-san is sick. It must be lonely alone, so we came."

"Are you surprised, are you surprised?"

"As long as Asakawa-kun knows who we are, there will be a mysterious gift for you."

"What's wrong with Asagawa-kun? His face really looks bad."

"Let's play a guessing game!"

"..."

The five sisters said a word to each other, and they worked very well together.

Naoki looked at the five Itsuki in front of him.

As expected of quintuplets, they were all the same in height, appearance, hair, accessories, and voice. He couldn't tell the difference with his eyes.

With a snap of his fingers, the five sisters have successfully merged, and maybe they can super-evolve!

Naoki initially wanted to refuse, but it was too much trouble for everyone to find fault. When the words left his mouth, he suddenly remembered a dozen hairs that had fallen out, and his heart ached again.

To distract him and maintain a good mood, he said: "What is the mystery gift?"

"Asakawa-san can guess our identities once we find out."

Another Itsuki stretched out a finger: "As long as there is love, you can know who we are."

Enough is enough, I believe in the power of science more than love!

Naoki's eyes swept across the five Itsuki: "...Watch me use the power of science to tell you apart."
