Yotsuba, did you get the wrong school bag?

"What flavor would you like to eat today?"

Uncle Takoyaki asked, "Is it the same as last time?"

"It..."

Yotsuba faltered, there is no way to answer this question!

It's the first time she's come here with Naoki, who knows what kind of takoyaki she ate the last time!

Naoki said without changing his expression:

"Takoyaki in sauce, and..."

Noticing Naoki's gaze, Yotsuba hastily nodded: "I also want takoyaki with sauce."

Uncle Takoyaki laughed heartily: "You guys wait a moment."

"Huh..." Yotsuba heaved a sigh of relief.

"There's no need to be fooled at all. This uncle definitely can't say who I am, right?"

"Also… why didn't Asakawa-san explain?"

Yotsuba secretly glanced at Naoki, blushed and listened to the conversation between Naoki and Uncle Takoyaki.

After a while.

"Your takoyaki."

The owner's uncle handed over the takoyaki.

Yotsuba waited early with his wallet, and when she saw the takoyaki being handed over by the shopkeeper uncle, she quickly reminded:

"Uncle, there are two more takoyaki."

"This is a present for you and Naoki."

"Eh?"

Yotsuba looked at Naoki excitedly.

Naoki didn't care. When he was little, the two families were neighbors, and he often went to uncle sato's house to eat: "Thank you uncle."

Yotsuba hastily bowed and reread: "Thank you, uncle."

After taking the takoyaki, Naoki and Yotsuba ate while walking.

"Huhu, good, so hot..." She opened his mouth and took a bite of the takoyaki, and Yotsuba quickly rolled his eyes, "Takoyaki is really delicious."

Naoki bit one by one: "I remember when I was little that uncle was already selling takoyaki, and it was very popular for many years."

Yotsuba's cheeks puffed up and out of the corner of his eye, she peeked at Naoki.

"Say something."

"Oh…" Yotsuba swallowed the takoyaki in his mouth, and asked curiously, "The shopkeeper uncle said earlier that my hair was cut short… Is it because Asakawa-san and the others came here?"

"Correctly."

"Who is she?"

Naoki didn't care, and simply replied, "It's Miku."

"Sure enough, it's Miku..."

Yotsuba understands.

Miku is a bit closed off. At school, she doesn't even have many female friends, let alone playing with boys, she has a good attitude towards Naoki, as expected because...

"When school started, Miku got lost at the school gate and just walked into the neighborhood, and then she refused to come forward like a child, so I could only buy takoyaki for her."

"Asakawa-san is bullying others." Yotsuba couldn't help but whisper, "Miku won't walk like a child!"

Naoki continued:

"And Nino."

"Eh?" Yotsuba's eyes widened in surprise, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "There's actually Nino?"

Out of the five sisters, Nino always had the worst attitude, so she would secretly date Naoki?

"When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

Yotsuba's eyes lit up, and 'I'm curious' was written in capital letters.

"That can't be said."

"Eh, why can't you say it?"

"Nino gave me a gag order." Naoki took another bite of the takoyaki and said quietly, "If I dare to say it, my ribs will break."

"You're kidding." Yotsuba waved his hand, "It looks fierce, but in fact, Nino never hit anyone."

Naoki sighed: "You don't know that when you beat someone."

"Eh? Was Asakawa-san beaten?"

"Sorry, this secret file cannot be accessed with your permission."

"Ugh-"

Yotsuba puffed out his cheeks, 'Ahhh' took a bite of the takoyaki, his cheeks puffed up, and she said faintly, "Isn't it possible that you've been here with Itsuki?"

"I have never been here with Itsuki, you are the third." Naoki finished eating takoyaki, clapped his hands, turned around and walked to the vending machine next to him, "What do you want to drink?"

"I'm not thirsty."

Yotsuba hastily shook his head.

Naoki put two coins into the coin slot: "Then drink soda screaming?"

"It's scary to hear the name." Yotsuba hastily shook his head and swallowed the takoyaki in his mouth, "I want to drink some carbonated juice."

"Understood."

Naoki bought a can of carbonated juice and handed it to the Yotsuba.

Reciprocal exchange, eating the takoyaki that Yotsuba served, it was natural to return the gift.

"Drinking a can of carbonated juice after eating takoyaki is very convenient."

Yotsuba was holding a drink, with a satisfied and happy expression on his face, she was indeed a foodie.

"Let's go." Naoki turned around and said, "Take you to the train station."

"I remember Asakawa-san walking to school, right?" Yotsuba hastily followed, "You don't need to drop me off, I can go to the station myself."

Naoki put his right hand in his pocket "What if you get lost?"

"I'm not a child, I won't get lost."

"Then tell me..." Naoki looked at Yotsuba and said slowly, "Which way is the train station?"

"It..."

The Yotsuba was unable to speak, and the five sisters were all disoriented which was quite balanced.

Naoki kept asking:

"Is it south or north?"

Yotsuba said cautiously: "Is it the north?"

"If you don't know, say you don't know." Naoki sighed, "That's west."

"I am sorry! (>_<)"

The two talked the whole way, and quickly walked to the train station.

"The station is here." Naoki paused "I'll be back."

"Goodbye Asakawa-san..." Yotsuba waved his hand, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Naoki waved his hand and turned to leave.

Yotsuba stood there, watching Naoki's back disappear in the night, then she averted his eyes and walked towards the train station. As she passed the recyclable trash can, she hesitated for a moment, and quietly put away the empty can of carbonated juice she was drinking.

"Back home!"

Suppressing the subtle feeling of being a thief, Yotsuba hugged his schoolbag and stepped onto the carriage.

All the way back to the apartment safely.

Yotsuba took out the key, opened the door and entered the house.

The five sisters were sitting together in the living room watching TV… To be precise, they were watching TV while playing with their cell phones.

It was one of the Nakano family traditions, where the five would sit together for a while each night instead of going straight to their respective rooms.

"Yotsuba, you're back." Itsuki was the first to hear the gesture, "Why is it so late today?"

"The food is cold." Nino got up and said, "I'll go and warm it up."

"Do not bother." Yotsuba hastily shook his head, "I've eaten outside."

Miku tilted her head and looked at him: "What's wrong with your knee?"

Seeing Miku, a subtle sense of guilt suddenly appeared, and Yotsuba hastily said:

"When I was playing basketball before, I accidentally fell... It doesn't matter, I'll be fine when I wake up tomorrow."

"Yotsuba?"

Ichika supported her chin with her right hand and suddenly looked up with a gentle gaze.

"What is it?"

Seeing Ichika's strange smile, Yotsuba's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly panicked.

"Ah, that's it..." Ichika lifted her chin slightly and looked at the school bag in Yotsuba's hand, "That's not your school bag?"

Yotsuba: "..."
