Miko Yotsuba

"Quickly dry your tears. When the disciplinary committee saw me, they said I was bullying female students."

Naoki said quickly.

Yotsuba raised his hand and wiped his eyes, but she didn't feel better because of Naoki's complaint: "I'm sorry, I failed both homework..."

"The exam papers I gave were a bit more difficult than the midterms." Naoki comforted in a warm voice, "If you take the exam at your current level, you should be able to pass."

Yotsuba bit her lip, tears in her eyes: "But everyone passed the test now."

In the past, Quintuplets exam scores were averages, either single digits or zeros. Now that Ichika and Nino pass all their exam papers, and only the Yotsuba fails, and a psychological divide suddenly appears.

Life is full of multiple choices and questions of abandonment.

When the Yotsuba chose club activities, she could only sacrifice her study time, when it came to exams, her grades naturally weren't as good as Itsuki and the others.

Naturally, there's nothing wrong.

You usually don't have less time to study, and in the final exam, you will score higher than those who work hard.

"Don't worry, there is still one more day." Naoki said warmly, "You come back at night, read the place I circled carefully several times, and remember it. There won't be any problems in tomorrow's exam."

"Right, there is still time..."

Yotsuba clenched her fists and said, "I'm going to your apartment tonight."

"Um?"

"Self-study efficiency is too low, I want to sign up for private lessons."

"So." Seeing Yotsuba's determined eyes, Naoki nodded lightly and his expression became serious, "Then get ready, tutoring alone will be very difficult."

On the Yotsuba's face, a stern expression was revealed: "Asakawa sensei, please show no mercy."

Naoki asked, "Is there any club training in the afternoon?"

"That…"

Yotsuba, who was still full of excitement now, suddenly faltered, looked down at her toes in embarrassment, and whispered:

"Sorry for disappointing Asakawa-san."

A warm touch came from above.

Naoki ruffled Yotsuba's hair: "No need to apologize, Yotsuba didn't do anything wrong."

Yotsuba lifted her face and looked at Naoki sadly.

"One is tax evasion and black belly, another is proud and upright, the third is introverted and weak, you can't refuse others, and Itsuki likes meat buns, which is his own character." Naoki said calmly, "If it can be easily changed, It's out of character. It's unrealistic to have to let Miku stand on stage so generously and let you reject everyone coldly and ruthlessly."

Yotsuba gently stroked Naoki's palm: "Un, Itsuki isn't a character who likes meat buns, right?"

"Sorry, when I say Itsuki, I think of meat buns."

"Bulling at Itsuki."

"Black Itsuki is politically correct."

Yotsuba waved her hand gently, her eyes finally flashed back brightly: "Be careful, I'm telling Itsuki."

Naoki was about to speak when the lunch break bell suddenly rang.

"Ehhh, why is the bell ringing." The hair accessory on the Yotsuba's head suddenly tightened, "Asakawa-san, hurry back to class!"

...

It's time to go back to school.

Naoki and Itsuki left the classroom together, joined Miku and headed for the library to study.

Tomorrow is the midterm exams, and the number of people studying in the library has reached its peak.

"Kouhai-kub, come quickly." Asumi gestured, "Help me look into this matter. Damn, I didn't understand it in extra school yesterday. If I don't understand it, I won't be able to follow its developments."

Naoki said quietly "So, I'm just an ordinary second year high school student..."

"Stop talking nonsense and sit down quickly."

Today Furuhashi was wearing a ponytail hairstyle, looking down pitifully: "Asakawa-san please, today's math formula is as scary as black magic."

Naoki looked at Furuhashi: "Is this why you slept in class?"

"I didn't…" Furuhashi with a guilty look in her eyes "How did you know I was sleeping?"

"You forgot?" Naoki sighed, "Today's math class is a big class, and I will watch you fall asleep in the back row."

"I'm really sorry for falling asleep in class." Furuhashi blushed slightly, and came over in annoyance, "Don't stare at me in class."

"I don't understand." Ogata pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, in a confused tone, "This question asks what the light in the cat's eyes is… I replied that it is natural reflected light, why don't you give me one?"

...

All in all, today was a busy study day.

5 p.m.

Naoki receives news from Yuika and goes to the school rooftop together to help with English lessons.

When he came down from the roof, it was already sunset, and it was already dusk.

Saying goodbye to Yuika, Naoki thought for a while, turned around and walked towards the field and sure enough he saw the figure of the Yotsuba in the setting sun.

The sports club in high school was always really tough. In contrast, the calligraphy club and chemistry club were completely retired clubs.

Several girls were doing physical exercises, and soon a girl found Naoki, tapped Yotsuba on the shoulder with a grin, extended a finger, and pointed at Naoki.

Yotsuba turned her head in confusion, and when she saw Naoki, her face couldn't help but blush, she couldn't hear what she was saying to the girl next to her, and ran quickly.

"Asakawa-san, why aren't you home yet?"

As the Yotsuba got closer, Naoki noticed that there were fine beads of sweat all over Yotsuba's forehead, and a drop of sweat ran down the neck to the collarbone, and the vitality of the young girl flowed down the face.

"Waiting for you to come home together."

Naoki handed over the salt soda in his hand.

"Don't drink." Yotsuba hurriedly waved her hand, her face slightly red, and said, "Everyone is watching us..."

So when does your skin get thinner? Obviously thirsty, take it generously, but it won't make people suspicious!

"Practice will be over in a moment." The Yotsuba waved, "Asakawa-san, wait for me a moment."

Naoki nodded lightly.

...

10 minutes later.

"Huh~" Holding her school bag, Yotsuba ran towards Naoki, "Asakawa-san waited a long time, the training is finally over, I'm very thirsty, give me a drink ."

Naoki handed over the drink in his hand: "Why are you thirsty now?"

Yotsuba uncorked the bottle, raised his head, and exhaled comfortably: "I just said that I didn't drink, but I didn't say that I wasn't thirsty."

"You came to the apartment for tutoring at night, did you tell Nino and the others?" Naoki asked casually.

"Not yet..." Yotsuba shook her head and replied, "Let's talk about it at night, I don't want everyone to know that I failed the exam."

"That's a test paper that I wrote myself, it's not a test, it's just a normal test."

"I don't want everyone to know that."

Naoki and Yotsuba left the school side by side and walked towards the apartment together.

The orange-red sunset spread layer by layer, coloring the buildings in front of the two in warm tones, and even the croaking chirping of the crows blended perfectly into this twilight.

"I feel that I haven't seen the sunset for a long time..." Yotsuba breathed softly, looked at the setting sun, and said softly, "It's so beautiful."

"It's too early for you to be happy." Naoki looked at Yotsuba "Let's start studying now."

"Eh?" Yotsuba looked surprised "This is the way, how did you study?"

"Of course I asked, and you answered."

The teaching method of asking questions is much better than teaching the ducks in the supplementary school.

Naoki asked a question, Yotsuba answered, talked all the way, and subconsciously walked downstairs to the apartment.

The two of them went to the convenience store to buy some materials, and then returned to the apartment.

"Excuse me."

Yotsuba followed Naoki and walked to the entrance.

"Asakawa-san, I'll take a shower first." Yotsuba put down her school bag, "I'll cook after I finish taking a bath."

"I will cook." Naoki put down the materials in his hand, "Today's main task is study."

Yotsuba didn't insist anymore: "Then leave it to Asakawa-san."

Not long after walking into the bathroom, Yotsuba suddenly showed half of her face and looked at Naoki sadly: "Asakawa-san, come over here."

"Um?"

Naoki walked to the bathroom door.

"His uniform and T-shirt are covered in sweat, so I can't wear them anymore." The Yotsuba blushed "Could Asakawa-san give me a clean shirt?"

Naoki was about to agree, when he suddenly remembered the courier he received two days ago, and said truthfully:

"Nino said girls go out and protect themselves, of course you can't wear a boy's clothes."

"It's not like I haven't put it on yet." Yotsuba retorted, "It's too late to say something like that now."

Naoki looked calm "You don't need to wear a shirt today."

"Eh?" Yotsuba quickly covered her chest, "I'm not going out naked, I'm not Ichika!"

So Ichika is at home and walking around naked a lot!

"You think too much, of course you will get dressed." Naoki assured.

Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes suddenly fell on the apron around Naoki's waist, and she became alert again: "aprons are unacceptable."

Naoki's face was flat: "You don't want to insult people's innocence."

In your eyes, do you think I'm a pervert who forces girls to wear naked aprons!

"These are the clothes I bought earlier." Naoki took out a package from the cupboard and opened it in front of the Yotsuba. "After you shower, just put it on."

"What clothes?"

Yotsuba looked on curiously, and quickly opened her eyes as Naoki opened the package bit by bit.

"Red and white skirt... miko costume?!"

"This is Miko's uniform." Naoki handed over the uniform "This is better than a boy's shirt?"

"Not good at all." Yotsuba's cheeks puffed up, "Uniforms are Asakawa-san's favorite."

"Yes."

Naoki acknowledged it magnanimously.

The uniform fetish is not shameful. There have been many uniforms from ancient times to the present day, and it is okay to have one more.

Naoki handed over his uniform: "This is today's Miko uniform."

"...Bully me."

With a red face, Yotsuba took the miko costume and slammed the bathroom door shut.

Naoki turned around and returned to the kitchen to continue preparing dishes.

After half an hour.

"I finished showering..."

The Yotsuba's slightly embarrassed voice came from behind.

Naoki heard the voice and turned to look, his eyes lit up when he saw the Yotsuba priestess who had just come out of the bathroom.

The red skirt, wide flared sleeves, and tight waist once tucked in combined, it is pleasing to the eye no matter how one looks at it, and the charm of the uniform lies in this.

The Yotsuba turned her body to the side, covered her chest with one hand and pressed her lower abdomen with the other: "It feels so weird..."

"What is strange?" Naoki commented, "It's definitely pretty."

"This is so weird, I didn't feel like this when I wore it at school..." Yotsuba's face was hot, and she turned her head and said, "I'm doing the laundry!"

...

Dinner.

Yotsuba washed the dishes and put them away, and made two more cups of tea: "Asakawa-san, let's start."

"Do not rush." Naoki picked up his phone "Let me take two photos first."

Yotsuba leaned back slightly and opened his eyes wide: "You still want to take pictures?"

"Of course I'll take photos." Naoki said of course, "Taking casual photos is a good habit, and it can save a lot of good memories... If you don't believe me, take a look."

Yotsuba approached curiously and found on her cell phone a photo of her in a maid outfit doing housework during summer vacation, she couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Maid housekeeping during summer vacation feels like it happened yesterday, and seems like a long time ago. Now that she saw the photos, Yotsuba could even remember the atmosphere back then… It was a good habit to take pictures casually.

"I see…" Yotsuba withdrew and sat down with a blush, "Hurry up and take a photo."

...

After taking pictures, it's time to study.

It was only at 7:30 pm that the Yotsuba emerged from its serious study state.

"Your phone is ringing." Naoki reminded.

Yotsuba picked up the phone: "This is Nino's phone."

No need to go out onto the balcony to answer Nino's call, Yotsuba sat down at the table and answered the phone.

"Yotsuba, where are you?" Nino's voice was heard.

Then Ichika's voice: "You haven't come home too late, should you be at Asakawa-kun's apartment?"

Miku: "Ichika's right."

Itsuki: "I also support it."

"You guessed it right." Naoki said "Yotsuba is in my apartment."

"The midterm exams are coming up tomorrow. I was busy with club training recently, and I was worried about failing the exam, so I asked Asakawa-san to help with tutoring." The Yotsuba quickly explained, "You don't have to worry about me."

"Of course." Nino folded his left leg over his right, "Yotsuba, you're coming back tonight?"

Yotsuba shook his head: "I won't come back, go to school tomorrow morning, don't forget to call everyone to wake up."

"Understand." Nino agreed "If Asakawa is bullying you, just tell me."

So what if I told you, believe it or not, I will bully you together!

"Asakawa-san didn't bully me." Yotsuba glanced at Naoki and said in a clear voice, "I will continue my studies."

...

Hanging up the phone.

Nino folded his arms across his chest, leaned his back on the couch, and said casually, "This is just the midterms, this isn't the finals, Yotsuba is too serious, always worried she won't pass the exam. … Maybe she will go to the dream world."

"D-Dream World?"

The ahoge hair on top of Itsuki's head suddenly shook slightly.

"What is it?" Nino looked confused, "The meat bun fell to the ground."

"There isn't any..."

Itsuki shook his head quickly.

Yotsuba entered the dream world alone to study, that means...

Miku hugged her legs, pressed her chin to her knees, and turned to look at Ichika.

Ichika tilted her head to look, closed one eye, and smiled happily: "Miku wants to tell me something?"
