Itsuki: After all, one person is in charge of everything

"Asakawa-kun, good morning."

Ichika yawned and walked downstairs, like a cat that had just woken up.

Naoki looked at Ichika and complained:

"It's already noon."

Since you want to be an actor, you have to be strict with yourself and get up early every day to hone your skills!

Three days of fishing, two days of fishing, you like to stay in bed when you have nothing to do, this is such a strange thing to be a big star!

"Um..." Ichika stuck out his finger, "So good afternoon?"

"Go wash your face and brush your teeth." Nino pushed back, "Don't waste time."

"I'm hungry, have breakfast first, otherwise I won't have the strength to study." Ichika covered her stomach "Nino, what did you cook for breakfast?"

Nino put his hand on his chest: "No, I will solve it myself."

Ichika's tone is sad: "Nino is bad."

Nino said disdainfully: "People who only wake up during the day don't need breakfast at all!"

"Ichika, there is still rice and miso soup in the rice cooker." Yotsuba stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "There are eggs and prunes in the refrigerator… For breakfast, should you eat raw egg bibimbap?"

Yotsuba was the most diligent person among the Twins, after Ichika came out of the bathroom, she already brought raw egg bibimbap to the table.

Bibimbap with raw eggs is a very simple Japanese dish to eat. Beat raw eggs, pour over rice, and toss with chopsticks. It is usually served as breakfast, and makes it simple and convenient.

The fishy smell is naturally there, eggs all over the world have a fishy smell. Saying that it's not fishy is just bullshit.

It's just that the rice is hot. Beat the raw egg on the rice and stir. It is equivalent to heating it once. The sweet and salty soy sauce is neutralized, and the fishy smell is almost gone.

In addition, eggs in supermarkets usually have labels, it is divided into one-day eggs, three-day eggs, five-day eggs, seven-day eggs, etc. The longer the eggs are stored, the more fishy they taste and are no longer suitable for bibimbap.

The main course is bibimbap with raw egg, and the Yotsuba brings a plate of pickled plums.

This dish is a very common appetizer, and there is also a very common way of eating a bento, with prune on top of rice, called the Hinomaru bento.

Why should plums eat a bowl of rice?

Just one word.

Sour.

As soon as Ichika ate, Naoki and some of the other girls had started studying.

The progress and learning focus of the Quintuplets have long been separated. For example Miku who often goes to the library with Naoki, could now score two or two in the exam.

While studying math with Nino, Naoki suddenly saw someone who quietly extended a hand.

Itsuki?

Naoki looked at Itsuki.

"What?"

Itsuki quickly withdrew his right hand and looked at the textbook as if nothing had happened.

Naoki quickly analyzed the truth, "Want to eat plums?"

Itsuki blushed: "I don't want to eat plums!"

"That's why you want to steal?"

"Of course not!" Itsuki could only complain, "Who would steal, only you can steal…cough."

She was about to tell a secret that others didn't know, so Itsuki hastily coughed, picked up two plums and ate them in one bite: "Read quickly, don't look."

...

Fun study time is always short, and daylight in the blink of an eye.

"It's time to rest."

Naoki closed the book.

"Asakawa-san has been working hard." The Yotsuba came over with a cup of barley tea, "Please have some tea."

Nino stretched out his leg, and his right leg which was wrapped in black stockings gently kicked Naoki's calf, "Let's go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients."

Miku turned around and saw, "I'll be going too."

Nino: "What are you going to do?"

Miku: "Buy something."

Nino: "You don't know how to cook, stay home, and Asakawa and I can go and buy it."

Miku didn't give up at all: "I went to the supermarket to buy some snacks."

"Eating too many snacks will cause acne."

"Not."

Sparks spark in the air, and Nino and Miku accidentally enter another state of confrontation.

"I have something to say."

Ichika raised her hand to get everyone's attention.

Naoki looks at Ichika while drinking tea.

Ichika raised her hand with a smile and smiled happily: "The weather is really nice today~ Count me, I'll go too."

Yotsuba raised his hand to cover his forehead: "Ichika, don't make trouble this time."

"A lot of strong people." Ichika turned his head with a smile "Do you want the Yotsuba to leave?"

Yotsuba turned his face away and hesitated: "I don't have to go..."

"What about Itsuki?" Ichika asked again.

Itsuki was eating meat buns, and she raised his face when she heard those words, with the meat bun crumbs still stuck to the corners of his mouth, "I'm leaving."

"Eh?"

The Yotsuba looked surprised.

She didn't hesitate to say that she was leaving. Could it be that Itsuki has awakened a girl's heart and wants to join the battle?

Naoki looked at Itsuki: "What are you going to do?"

Itsuki's voice sounded relaxed: "I'm done with the snacks, I'll go buy some snacks and meat buns."

Yotsuba: "😐"

Yotsuba thought Itsuki had awakened a girl's heart, but it turned out to be only for snacks and meat buns, hurry up and restore hope!

Ichika tapped her cheek with her finger, "Who will Asakawa-kun choose?"

The Quintuplets all looked at Naoki.

Naoki put down his teacup, glanced at the Quintuplets and quickly made a decision:

"I choose the Yotsuba."

The other four sisters turned to look at Yotsuba with different expressions.

"I-I'm not going, I'm not feeling well..." Yotsuba was silent for half a second, the temperature on his face rose rapidly, and she quickly shook his head, "Asakawa-san, go with the others."

Naoki said without changing his face:

"Yotsuba has the best physical strength, go and help carry things."

"Oh..."

The Yotsuba could only heave a sigh of relief, and carrying something was almost unacceptable.

Naoki said again "Miku will go together."

"Eh?" Miku froze slightly, clutching her knees, "…What am I going to do?"

Naoki looked at Miku "Did you go out yesterday?"

"...Not."

"Just that." Naoki said confidently, "Go for a walk and exercise. The weather is getting colder lately, so be careful to catch a cold again."

A high school girl staying home all day without going out is likely to become a hikikomori at home in the future!

Naoki continued: "Nino is coming too."

Nino put his hand on his chest, and said displeasedly, "What am I going to do?"

Naoki replied:

"You are the chef, so you have the final say on what to buy."

"Huh."

Nino snorted softly, if she didn't refuse, she agreed.

"Don't you want to buy Itsuki's snacks?" Naoki looked at Itsuki, "Buy yourself some snacks, change your shoes, and get ready to go out."

"I understand." Itsuki nodded subconsciously.

"Wait." Itsuki suddenly reacted and stretched out his right hand, "Why did everyone leave in the end?"

"Who said everyone left?"

Naoki looked at Ichika m beside him, "Ichika keeps the house."

Ichika: "😐"

....

The supermarket is not far from the apartment building, a group of people took the elevator to the lower floor and took several steps to find the supermarket.

"Stupid Asakawa, push the car."

Nino was in the lead, pacing back and forth with his head held high, and his aura was like that of a queen patrolling the territory.

"I will come."

Yotsuba volunteered to take on the role of porter.

Miku and Itsuki went to the snack area to buy snacks and drinks.

"Asakawa-kun is going too far." Ichika walked in at the end, and whispered sadly, "I was left alone to look after the house, even if it were me, I would cry."

Naoki said, "You were so happy when you just laughed."

Ichika stretched out her finger and poked Naoki's arm: "I'm not happy at all right now, unless Asakawa-kun persuades me, I won't go."

"Are you a 3 year old kid?"

Ichika whispered: "Girls are originally children in front of the boys they like."

"You two are faster." Nino turned around and said, "Don't be lazy behind."

Nino and Yotsuba were regulars at the supermarket, so they didn't need Naoki to buy ingredients, they just needed to be responsible for carrying things.

After buying the ingredients, Miku and Itsuki returned with a large bag of snacks.

A creature like a girl couldn't stand snacks. The Quintuplets lived together, and the speed of eating snacks was excessive. The purchased snacks seem to be more than the ingredients.

Back to the apartment.

After a noisy lunch, the afternoon is still study time.

In the blink of an eye, Naoki glanced at the clock and got up to leave.

"What are you going to do when Asakawa-kun returns?"

"Stay the night, let's go to the dream world to see mother."

"Let's go to school together tomorrow morning."

Several girls begged Naoki to stay for a while.

"I'm fine." Naoki looks at Itsuki "That depends on what Itsuki says?"

"I..."

Itsuki blushed.

"Itsuki really wants to see mom, so she definitely won't refuse?" Nino pouted.

She really didn't want to refuse, okay?

Itsuki heard that once a man was given the first, she would definitely have the second.

You are so happy in your dreams that you don't know how much sacrifice she has to make.

Itsuki opened his mouth, but in the end she took all the responsibility: "If you want to stay, don't ask me."

...

Dinner.

Naoki took a sip of his tea and said, "Get out the tutorial book and let's continue studying."

"Not."

"His body has been stuffed and can't get in anymore."

"My head is already spinning."

"My favorite TV series is coming soon."

"After falling asleep, study in a dream, okay?"

Several girls objected.

Naoki sighed: "I still plan to study at 12 at night."

"You will die then!"

Even Itsuki, who had been studying the most, chose to strike.

...

Noisy until 10:30pm, Nino yawned and suggested, "I'm so sleepy, go to sleep."

Itsuki who was already a little sleepy, immediately woke up after hearing the word sleep, and couldn't help but stare at Naoki.

Naoki also turned around.

Four eyes facing each other.

A blush rose from his ears, and Itsuki turned his head quickly.

"I'll go get a blanket."

Yotsuba and went upstairs.

The girl's room is not allowed to enter carelessly. Naoki had nothing to do, walked to the balcony to look at the lights, stood on a high place and looked down, the whole city was ablaze, and there was no sign of rest at all.

Quiet footsteps sounded from behind, and a young girl slipped onto the balcony, the hair on top of her head swaying gently in the evening breeze.

Itsuki hugged her arm, and she whispered, "…You sleep obediently at night and don't do anything strange."

Naoki looked at Itsuki "What strange things?"

Itsuki was so angry that she clenched his fists and couldn't help but punch, "You know damn well!"

"Sorry I was wrong." Naoki only apologized, "My ribs will break."

"I didn't use much effort!"

Holding Itsuki's wrist, Naoki explains why he climbed to the top last weekend.

"What's dishonestto sleep at night..." Itsuki still hesitated. "Why didn't you call me?"

"I call." Naoki spread his arms "You ignored me completely."

"Is this my fault?"

"Anyway, sleep obediently tonight." Itsuki waved his fist "If you mess up again, I will punch you."

Returning to the living room, laying out the tatami, turning off the TV and lights, as moonlight splashed in from the window, the night quickly calmed down.

The night is getting dark.

Nino and the others were still chatting and talking at first, but after chatting, there was no sound, only breathing that sounded gently up and down.

Itsuki waited in silence, making sure everyone was asleep, then turned to his side, looked at Naoki with a red face, stretched out his finger, and lightly scratched Naoki's palm.

"Everyone's asleep... it's fine."

Naoki opened his eyes, looked at Itsuki, bowed gently, and kissed the girl's soft and cold lips.

Itsuki closed his eyes tightly and pretended to be asleep.

As long as she doesn't open his eyes, she can pretend she doesn't know anything...

The next moment.

Itsuki's eyelashes suddenly trembled, and the ahoge's hair on top of his head stood up.

"What are you doing now?"

Naoki looked up at the sky, his right hand was obviously placed beside him, when did he put it on Itsuki's waist?

Just put it on the waist, why move again subconsciously, and if it continues, the ribs will be broken by the angry Itsuki!

His right hand subconsciously pierced through his pajamas and touched Itsuki's waist. The skin is smooth, warm and soft, of high quality, which makes people addicted.

Naoki looked at Itsuki, Itsuki's face turned red, but she still closed his eyes and didn't open them.

"You made the wrong choice."

When being bullied, you must dare to refuse, even if you use violence to control violence, it is better than pretending to be an ostrich!

Now tell you that patience will not settle down for a while, it will only make people gain an inch!

In the silent night, Naoki once again turned into a tower climber and started climbing.

When his fingertips touched Itsuki's conscience again, Itsuki finally couldn't take it anymore, bit Naoki's lip in one bite, and opened his eyes angrily:

"Do you still want to sleep!"

....

When Itsuki opened his eyes again, she had successfully entered a dream world.

Naoki raised his hand and touched his lips, the pain from being bitten just now still felt.

Seeing Naoki's action, Itsuko turned her head and walked to the door of the ward, "Why did mom leave?"

Several other girls walked in one after another.

"Where's mother?"

"Should disappear?"

"Last time mom said that her body would recover."

"Asakawa-san, come here quickly."

Naoki walked to the door of the ward and glanced at him. The ward was empty, and the mother of the Quintuplets had disappeared.

"Could the dream be wrong?"

Yotsuba asked nervously.

"Not wrong." Naoki shook his head, "This is this hospital."

As he said that, he pulled a nurse who was passing by nearby, and asked briefly about the situation, only to find out that the super beauty living in the ward had been discharged from the hospital.

"Mom… is she out of the hospital?"

Itsuki held his hand to his chest, and tears welled up in his eyes.

When she was a child, her biggest wish was for mom to get well and get out of the hospital, but sadly that never came true.

"Don't cry." Ichika patted Itsuki's head lightly "We can spend almost a day in the dream world, let's go to mom and the others first."

While speaking, a nurse came in with a letter in her hand.

Ichika took the letter and opened it. Naoki stood up and glanced at it, and found that it was a letter left by the mother of the Quintuplets, if you come, go home and find her.

"Since everyone is awake, are dreams so real?"

Naoki thought to himself.

"Let's go." Ichika folded the letter and put it away, "Let's go home."

Naoki left the hospital after the Quintuplets, and found that the place to get off was not a high-end residential area, but a rather old civilian apartment area.

"Here is..."

When passing through the small garden, Naoki always felt that the frame of the swing inside was very familiar.

Miku said softly, "We lived here when we were young."

Naoki remembered.

Naoki looked at Yotsuba, it was definitely a park where he and Yotsuba came to swing with Yotsuba during summer vacation!

"Yotsuba loved to swing when she was little?" Naoki said meaningfully.

Yotsuba's face turned slightly red, "No, don't say that, hurry up."

"We have arrived."

Nino stared at the old apartment building in front of her with a slightly complicated expression.

Since mother died, she has never come back here again, she didn't expect to come back today, even though it was in a dream.

There is no elevator in the apartment building, only stairs to enter, follow the narrow corridor to the second floor.

"Asakawa, come and knock on the door." Nino suddenly shouted.

"Um."

Naoki nodded lightly, stepped forward, raised his hand and lightly knocked on the door.

Footsteps were soon heard behind the door, and a beautiful woman opened the door with a gentle smile on her face.

"Mom, we're back."
