Prefer honor than life

"What are you and Ichika doing?"

Nino leaned her back on the sofa, folded her arms across her chest, folded her right leg over her left, and conducted interrogations as a policewoman.

Naoki's gaze dropped slightly and landed on Nino's right leg.

This posture was not suitable for interrogation, but the curves of the legs were revealed perfectly, the black knee socks reflected faint highlights in the light, and they looked slim and slender.

Women have always been very sensitive to men's gazes. When she noticed Naoki's gaze, Nino's face turned slightly red, but she didn't have the touch of an ordinary girl at all. She gently swung his right leg, kicked, and hummed softly:

"... Hurry, or I will kick you."

Naoki turned to look at Ichika: "What should we say?"

Ichika tilted her head: "You said we were reading manga?"

"You two don't discuss!" Nino shouted, "Don't make confessions in my face!"

"But Asakawa-kun and I really read manga."

Ichika blinked, and her face was capitalized innocently.

"Nino, there really is a manga."

Itsuki picked up the manga on the sofa, not bothering with the interrogation at all, sat down next to her and read it happily.

"I want to see too."

Yotsuba leaned towards Itsuki, and the two of them read a manga together.

Miku is very interested in hamsters and stands in front of the hamster cage and feeds.

After looking around, Naoki found that I was the only one left in the court. Naoki and Ichika sat next to each other again.

The Quintuplets have come to play many times, and it can be said that they are familiar with the road. When they came tonight, they even brought a change of clothes and pajamas, making it clear that they didn't plan to return in the evening.

"When will you be back?"

Naoki still intended to ask one more question.

It's fine just Ichika, the Quintuplets are gathered, and it's quite noisy.

"We won't be back." The hair accessory on the top of Yotsuba's head shook slightly, "Itsuki said Adventures of Dreamland was fun, and we want to play too."

"That's right." Naoki took the teacup and took a sip of the tea, "But I can't choose dreams, I don't know what dreams are..."

Naoki said weakly, "Perhaps I will dream of Miss Kayako, Miss Sadako, and Miss Ripples."

"What-"

Yotsuba was surprised, she clenched his small fist, and hit Naoki's arm.

"Asakawa-san is exaggerating, don't mention that horror movie on purpose!"

Yotsuba, an athletic girl, is different, with a fist strength greater than Ichika's.

"I didn't say it was a horror film." Naoki's expression remained unchanged, "The ghost really advances with time, I heard that Miss Sadako and the others recently formed an idol girl group and are preparing to debut as popular artists."

"Ehhh, something like that?" Yotsuba whispered, "Those are all idol group girls, who dares to watch it!"

Naoki was about to speak, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a young girl turning her head away.

"...Miku?"

Naoki turned to look at Miku.

"What do you see?"

Miku turned her head as if nothing had happened, her tone was nonchalant, but unfortunately the blush on her face didn't go away quickly.

"You're blushing."

"The weather is too hot."

"Itsuki didn't say it was hot, why are you the only one blushing?"

Miku stretched out her right hand, and lightly poked Naoki's waist, "So many questions, Harakiri!"

Reading manga, bathing, chatting gossip, eating snacks... Naoki also planned to give homework to the Twins, but unfortunately it hasn't started yet, and it's already 11pm.

Itsuki yawned, the hair on top of his head withered slightly: "I'm a little sleepy… Asakawa-san, shall we sleep?"

Naoki nodded lightly and ordered:

"Nino, go get the blanket."

"Don't ask me for anything." Nino glared at him, got up and walked to the closet, "Come and hold the blanket for me too."

"I will come."

Yotsuba volunteered to help.

"Miku." Naoki turned to look at Miku, "Go get the pillow."

"Um."

Ichika raised her hand and said, "What task did Asakawa-kun give me?"

Naoki mused: "Go pour some milk and drink it later."

"Yes sir."

An Ichika raised his hand in salute.

"What about me?" Seeing that everyone had an assignment, Itsuki couldn't sit still, "Asakawa-san, what am I doing?"

"Sit down." Naoki pointed to his side, "Your business is the most important."

"Hah?" Itsuki sat beside Naoki, and asked. "What will Asakawa-san say?"

Naoki said. "Do you still remember the last dream adventure?"

Itsuki's face quickly turned red, and she stuttered, "No, I don't remember!"

You don't remember what made you blush, your erratic eyes aren't as good as Miku!

Naoki continued: "The conditions for entering the dream state are basically clear. The first is physical contact."

"But…" After a pause, Naoki said again, "If you just hold hands, you'll be risking your dreams in your subconscious."

Itsuki was slightly dumbfounded: "What is the subconscious?"

Naoki asked back, "When you usually dream, do you feel stupid in your dreams?"

"Correctly."

Itsuki nodded.

"This is the subconscious." Naoki crossed his arms, "Human consciousness is generally divided into subconscious and conscious, where the subconscious is much larger than the conscious."

"The simplest example is sleep. After a person falls asleep, they will automatically breathe, not hold their breath and commit suicide… This is the mastery of the subconscious body."

"Except for a small number of lucid dreams, when people dream, they are dominated by the subconscious, so they have incomplete memory in dreams, do not know who they are, and often act like fools, instinctively and impulsively. "

Itsuki suddenly realized: "That's how it is."

After exclaiming, she suddenly found that Naoki was looking at her meaningfully, and quickly reacted: "Are you saying that I'm an idiot?"

"I didn't say."

"The look in your eyes just now was clearly looking at an idiot."

Itsuki was clearly an idiot with only meat buns in his eyes, but she was so sharp right now!

After admitting that he would be beaten, Naoki changed the subject and said, "If it's just physical contact, even if you can enter a dream, you'll be in a subconscious state, so...make a choice."

Itsuki quickly understood what Naoki was asking her to choose.

"You want to bully me again!"

Itsuki blushed, he looked up angrily "I-I hit you!"

Naoki is not afraid at all: "The first time you were in the hot spring, you didn't hit me..."

Itsuki was furious and threw a fist.

Naoki fell on the sofa clutching his chest: "Sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me."

As expected of a girl with a big belly, Naoki almost vomited blood with a single blow. In ancient times, Itsuki was truly a fierce general!

"Itsuki, what are you doing?"

Nino came out holding the blanket and asked suspiciously.

"It is nothing." Itsuki quickly sat up straight, "…I'm here to help!"

"Asakawa-kun." Ichika came, "Drink some milk."

Nino and Yotsuba were involved in making the bed and piling the blankets, Naoki sat on the sofa and took the milk that Ichika handed over, and his family status was much higher.

"How do you all sleep at night?"

After drinking the milk, Yotsuba raised his hand and asked.

"Asakawa-kun said you should hold hands while sleeping." Ichika stretched out a finger, "How about letting Asakawa-kun sleep between us?"

"Not!"

Nino was the first to object.

What is it like for a man in the middle of sleep?

No matter how she looked at it, Naoki was hugging from left to right!

"Asakawa didn't say you have to hold him hand, after all, as long as there's physical contact?" Nino complained, "Let's hold one at a time, we can use physical connection.'

Naoki looked at him in surprise: "Nino really knows how to connect?"

Nino gritted his teeth: "It's strange that I don't know this knowledge!"

With Nino there, the achievement of sleeping in the middle and cuddling from left to right was clearly impossible.

Yotsuba pondered: "Who should sleep beside Asakawa-san?"

"I didn't sleep anyway." Nino turned his face away and whispered, "I sleep on the far left."

Miku pursed her lips: "I will sleep next to Nino."

Sleeping next to Asakawa in front of everyone... It was too embarrassing to look at.

Ichika raised her right hand, and suggested, "If everyone doesn't want to, I'm going to sleep?"

"Not." Nino firmly refused, "Don't be next to stupid Asakawa while you sleep."

Ichika said: "Nino is too wary, Asakawa-kun won't do weird things."

Nino couldn't help but complain: "I'm worried about you."

Letting Ichika sleep next to Naoki, Nino always feels Ichika will do bad things at night and must be stopped.

Naoki sighed: "Finally someone said a fair word."

Nino turned his head and said angrily, "Don't talk."

Miku sleeps beside her to prevent Ichika from attacking at night. If she said that, there were still Yotsuba and Itsuki...

Nino turned his head and looked at Yotsuba and Itsuki, and suddenly found that Itsuki was restless, absent-minded, and seemed to be entangled in something, she hesitated a little:

"Why don't the Yotsuba sleep next to Asakawa?"

"Eh?" Yotsuba blushed and shook his head quickly, "No! I'm disobedient in sleeping at night… Let's let Itsuki sleep?"

"Itsuki has experience, and she must be very familiar."

...

The chandelier was turned off, and the room was pitch black, leaving only a hazy white light from the phone screen.

Itsuki wakes up from the entanglement and is surprised to find that everyone has been lying down. "Why, why are you all lying down?"

"It's 10:30 pm, why don't we just lie down?" Yotsuba said in a confused tone "Itsuki, are you not feeling well?"

"I-I'm fine."

Itsuki quickly shook his head in denial, and found that there was only one place left beside Naoki. She lay beside Naoki with a flushed face.

In the darkness, a hand reached out and held Itsuki's, and then the voice of the expected Yotsuba: "Dreamland Adventure, here we come."

Just then Itsuki remembered everyone's intentions at night. On the one hand, it was to protect Ichika from being bullied. On the other hand, it was to come and experience the so-called dream adventure.

Itsuki had no choice but to hold Naoki's palm with a flushed face.

"Asakawa-kun." Ichika's voice sounded, "What should I do if I can't sleep?"

Naoki said, "Nino turned off his phone, and of course she can fall asleep."

Nino was surprised: "How did you know I was playing with my phone?"

"Everyone is holding one, and only you can play with your phone."

"This is so inconvenient," Nino said, pushing the phone under the pillow, "How can I fall asleep if I don't play with my phone for a while before going to bed."

Facts have proven that you can fall asleep completely without playing with your phone.

After a few words, Nino's voice grew smaller and smaller, and soon became inaudible.

"Nino fell asleep."

Miku said softly.

"Huh..." Yotsuba yawned, "I'm sleepy too, good night everyone."

"Good night."

As several of the Quintuplets fell asleep one after another, the apartment quickly fell silent, but the person who usually fell asleep first was still rolling around at night, making it difficult to fall asleep.

"What do I have to do?"

"Everyone is looking forward to it. If it was just an ordinary dream, they would be very disappointed when they wake up."

"But that kind of thing…"

Worried about profit or loss, Itsuki suddenly felt that Naoki wanted to grab his right hand, and quickly gripped it tightly.

Naoki turned to look at Itsuki, and whispered, "You let go first."

"Don't want to."

Itsuki refuses.

If she let go, she wouldn't even have an ordinary dream!

Naoki said speechlessly: "Your palms are sweaty, take it off and wipe the sweat."

Itsuki's face was slightly hot, and Itsuki let go of his hand.

Ahhh! Embarrassed! She hadn't done anything yet, so why were his palms so nervous they were sweating!

Itsuki was about to get up to go to the bathroom and wash his hands, only to find that his right hand was tightly gripped by the Yotsuba.

"Don't wake the Yotsuba." Naoki sat quietly, grabbed a tissue not far from him, and took out a piece of paper, "Give it."

"Oh."

Itsuki obediently stretched out his hand.

Naoki took a tissue and wiped Itsuki's palm.

Seeing Naoki in the foggy night, the attachment in Itsuki's heart suddenly disappeared.

It's not that they haven't kissed yet, Yotsuba and the others are looking forward to it because of herself, so she has to take responsibility!

Do not hesitate to sacrifice his life for the truth!

Naoki lay down again, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep.

A hand stretched out in the night, holding his palm, and then his palm was lightly scratched.

Naoki continued to sleep.

"Eh? Sleep that fast?"

Itsuki scratched Naoki's palm again.

Naoki turned his face to the side and looked at Itsuki.

Itsuki hastily held his breath and waited nervously, then saw Naoki turning his face and scratching his palm lightly.
