Genius Girl Ichika

"It's so spicy!"

"My throat is burning."

"No, I saw Satan smiling."

All the girls who challenged the devil's spicy potato chips broke their defenses.

Even Furuhashi who claimed she could eat spicy food, had tears in his eyes.

"What's wrong with all of you?" Rin was confused, "Not too spicy, right?"

Sekijou cried: "Super spicy, this isn't human food at all!"

"Is that true?"

Rin put the potato chips into her mouth, "It's just plain spicy."

Rin's appearance made the girls present begin to doubt life.

"Why is Rin nothing?"

"Aren't we eating the same potato chips?"

"Not?"

The only person present was Naoki with a calm expression—because he wasn't eating at all.

"You don't want to eat the spicy snacks Rin shared in the future." Naoki saw several girls staring at him and shared the information, "Rin is actually a stupid taster."

"Bastard!"

Nanako who was sitting next to Naoki immediately became angry, clenched her fists and punched, "You should have said that earlier!"

Naoki innocent: "Maybe some of you will like to eat it."

"Humans don't like to eat this kind of thing!"

Naoki is quickly attacked by a group of girls.

Yuika: "Senpai is too much, bullying people!"

Furuhashi: "Asakawa-san Schadenfreude."

[Author's Note: Schadenfreude is a feeling of pleasure, joy, or satisfaction that arises after seeing or hearing news of someone who is experiencing difficulties, failures or humiliation]

Sekijou: "That crime must be punished."

"Nanako, hit him again."

"Leave it to me." Nanako rolled up her sleeves, "Let him know how to write today's regrets!"

...

Naoki returns to class, but he doesn't see Itsuki, it seems he hasn't come yet.

It wasn't until the bell rang for morning reading class that Itsuki rushed in from the back door.

"I'm almost late."

Itsuki put down his school bag and breathed a sigh of relief.

Naoki turned his head and looked up: "Isn't the alarm clock set in the morning?"

"It's set." Hearing those words, Itsuki complained, "Yotsuba came to school for training early in the morning and didn't know when to leave. I woke up Ichika, Nino and Miku."

"Ichika sleeps late and refuses to wake up."

"It took a while, and I'm almost late."

After Itsuki finished complaining, she looked at Naoki curiously: "How did you wake up Ichika yesterday?"

"Want to know."

"I really want to know."

"This is Ichika and I's secret." Naoki said unhurriedly "If you want to know, promise me a request..."

"I don't want to know!"

Itsuki blushed, and quickly covered his chest with his hands, "Go."

After talking for a while, the class bell rang quickly.

An old man wearing glasses and holding a thermos cup slowly walked in.

"Let's start class now, students open the book on page 120..."

This old man was a teacher of literary languages. He always spoke slowly, as if he hadn't woken up yet. The only thing he likes is asking questions in class——

Asking questions is a great way to increase tension, focus your mind, and take a break.

"Ah, I forgot to bring my Literature textbook!"

Itsuki rummaged through his school bag several times.

"Relax, don't panic." Naoki didn't turn his head, "The more you panic, the more you will be noticed by sensei."

"Makes sense..."

Itsuki hastily lowered his head, praying in his heart that the teacher would not call out to her.

It was a pity that she was afraid of what was about to happen, and a low voice sounded on the podium.

"Nakano Itsuki-san, come and read."

"Asakawa-san, please."

Itsuki pleaded for help.

Naoki didn't look at all and handed over his textbook.

Doing this kind of thing under the eyes of the teacher and classmates, Itsuki blushed slightly, lowered his head and started reading.

"Tokyo is nothing more than this. When the cherry blossoms in Ueno are blooming, they look like red clouds..."

"Okay, you can sit."

The teacher's slow voice sounded.

As if receiving amnesty, Itsuki quickly sat down and was about to return the textbook to when Naoki raised his hand to stop her: "I don't need to read it."

"Uh, why?"

"The entire text has been memorized in my mind."

Itsuki was suddenly displeased.

....

It's time for lunch break.

As soon as the bell rang, Itsuki hurriedly left the classroom and headed to the cafeteria.

Naoki walked out of the classroom unhurriedly and waited for Miku at the next classroom door.

Miku wasn't out yet, but Nino and a few of his friends were back from gym class.

"Asakawa-san, good afternoon."

"Asakawa-kun, would you like to have milk tea together after school in the afternoon?"

"A new dessert shop has opened on the shopping street. It tastes really good, want to eat together?"

These friends had not met Naoki before, but after last Friday's birthday party incident, they quickly became acquainted.

"He has to go to the library to study after school in the afternoon, so he doesn't have time to go shopping with you." Nino said, "Let's go."

One girl giggled and said:

"Are you free to speak, Asakawa-san?"

Naoki said firmly, "Nino said I don't have time, so there isn't time."

"Ehhh, Nino is so domineering."

Nino blushed slightly, and glared at Naoko "Stop talking nonsense!"

After talking for a while, a few girls waved and returned to class for lunch.

After a while, Miku left the classroom and the three of them went to the canteen together.

"Asakawa-kun, here."

Ichika waved his hand.

Naoki took a plate and walked over to Ichika and sat down.

Itsuki and the Yotsuba had already started eating, and each had enough food for two people.

"Itsuki's efficiency of summoning people to wake up is too low." Yotsuba sighed, "I'm almost late in the morning."

The ahoge hair on top of Itsuki's head suddenly stood up, she couldn't stand it.

"That has nothing to do with me at all." Itsuki put down his chopsticks, took a sip of the miso soup, and complained, "That's because you've been lying in bed and refusing to get up, and you made me forget to bring my Literature textbook."

Nino sat beside Naoki "In the late stages of procrastination, Ichika won't wake up until the last moment."

Miku nodded in agreement: "Ichika's account has been deleted."

"This is not about me." Ichika expressed her innocence and held up a finger as an example, "Asakawa-kun called me to wake up yesterday, and I woke up right away."

Several girls looked at Naoki one after another.

Yotsuba asked curiously:

"Asakawa-san can really wake up Ichika quickly?"

Naoki thought about the time it took yesterday morning: "It only took about 5 minutes."

"It's really fast." Yotsuba exclaimed "Even if it was me, I can't wake up Ichika in 5 minutes."

Nino asked curiously:

"How did you do that? This is truly an impossible task."

Naoki took a mouthful of fried pork, "It's a long story..."

Nino curled his lips: "Then make a long story short."

"Okay." Naoki said bluntly, "Actually I was ordered to keep my mouth shut by Ichika, and I wasn't allowed to say anything."

Several girls stared at Ichika one after another.

Ichika folded her arms, and sincerely repented:

"I was wrong, I shouldn't sleep every morning, so everyone is late every day."

Miku looked at him in surprise: "Ichika has a fever?"

Nino stretched out his hand decisively and tested the temperature on his forehead: "Ichika doesn't have a fever at all."

Ichika continued:

"In order not to drag everyone down, I thought of a good way."

Yotsuba asked curiously, "What can I do?"

"Hmm." Ichika shook her finger gently, "It's very simple, as long as I'm not at home, I won't bother everyone."

As soon as Ichika finished speaking, she shifted her gaze slightly and looked at Naoki: "I'll be staying at Asakawa-kun's apartment this winter. Let Asakawa-kun wake me up every morning, right?"

"Asakawa-kun, what do you think?"

"I have no opinion." Naoki's expression remained unchanged, and he ate slowly, "You decide for yourself."

"Not." Nino was the first to object, "Ichika is a girl. Living alone in a boy's apartment is too dangerous."

Ichika calmly gave an example: "Even if Nino said so, Yotsuba and Itsuki are living alone in Asakawa-kun's apartment, and nothing happened."

"I have no opinion." Itsuki was the first to vote in support. "I woke Ichika up at 7:30, and she didn't wake up until 8:00. From now on it will be like this every day, let Asakawa-san do it."

"Do the Yotsuba mind?" Ichika asked with a smile.

"I do not mind."

Yotsuba hung her head in guilt, and after all, she did live alone and was not qualified to vote against him.

"What about Itsuki?" Ichika asked again.

The ahoge hair on Itsuki's head shook, and his voice was indistinct: "Me too."

Ichika supports her cheek with her right hand: "What did Miku say?"

Miku put down her chopsticks: "You already have three voices. It doesn't matter whether I vote or not?"

"That's true, but for the sake of democracy, I still want to hear Miku's opinion."

Of course his opinion was against it!

Miku turned and looked at Naoki.

Even though she didn't know how far Naoki and Ichika's relationship had progressed, it must have been great to let Ichika relinquish his monopoly.

Maybe already...

"Won't."

Miku chased away the fantasy in her mind. At most doing that sort of thing with his hands like her, it definitely wouldn't work.

[Translator's note : Wow, Miku has given Naoki a Hanjob]

"Why did you all agree?" Nino couldn't help but scream, "I'm worried about Ichika."

"Don't worry." Ichika said earnestly "Please believe in Asakawa-kun's character."

Naoki nodded: "Ichika is right."

When Miku heard these words, her cheeks puffed out. "Reckless Asakawa, be proud of yourself, Harakiri!"

"Since everyone agrees, let's just say so." Ichika cleared her throat and looked serious, "Starting tonight, so as not to make everyone late in the morning, I will be staying at Asakawa-kun's house."

"Wait a moment." Nino stretched out his right hand, "Of course, I'm still worried... It's too dangerous to be alone, a male-like creature will become a pervert if it absorbs enough moonlight."

Naoki said firmly, "I'm an exception."

The Quintuplets said in unison disdainfully: "You don't!"

"All in all, I can't let Ichika spend the night alone." Nino said with a compromise solution "At least someone should accompany Ichika... Asakawa bullied her."

"Nino's right." Ichika propped her chin up with her right hand, as if she were the lady of the family, and she was in control. "To be fair, how about rock paper scissors?"

"I'm going back?"

The Yotsuba wanted to retreat.

"What is it?" Nino urged "Forget it for you, and forget it for it, what if someone spends some time alone?"

Itsuki whispered:

"Nino and Ichika can go?"

"I..."

Nino wanted to agree, but now that she agreed, she was a bit too embarrassed. She stretched out his right hand and said, "Don't talk about it, quickly rock paper scissors."

A moment later.

Guess the winners and losers.

Itsuki heaved a sigh of relief, "It's not me."

"Why me." Yotsuba said pitifully and clearly did not want to leave.

Ichika smiled and said: "Tonight, ask Asakawa-kun to take care of me and the Yotsuba."

Yotsuba hesitated "Why don't we do it again and win two out of three matches?"

"No time." Naoki reminded, "If you don't eat, lunch break will end."

"Eh?"

"It's too late."

"Hurry and eat!"

"Why is Itsuki done already?"

"Because I was eating while you guys were talking."

...

It's time for school.

Naoki went to the library to study as usual.

Yotsuba also has to attend basketball club training, while Ichika will go home to pack and change to prepare for the night.

...

5 p.m.

Asumi gently kicked Naoki under the table, winked at the corridor, then got up and walked out.

Naoki understood and followed silently.

Not far away, a Yuika was observing.

In a secluded corner of the corridor, after adding a buff to Asumi and seeing Asumi leave, Naoki turned his head and said:

"Go out."

Yuika appeared and said sternly, "Servant, Yuika also wants to add a buff."

"What do you want to do?"

"Yuika will be taking the high school entrance exam next year, so is it normal to add a buff?"

Naoki agreed: "Kiss on the forehead?"

Yuika's face slightly reddened, with her hands behind her back,: "Lips can also be used."

What an amazing perverted girl!

...

After adding the buff to Yuika, Naoki returned to the library and continued studying.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was already evening.

At the end of the study session, everyone left the library and returned to their respective homes, Furuhashi still going to the pool with Sekijou and Ogata to swim.

Naoki, who was kicked out of the team, can only return to the apartment alone.

Not long after returning to the apartment, there was a knock on the door.

Naoki got up and opened the door. A beautiful girl with short pink hair was standing outside the door, her smiling face was especially bright in the twilight:

"Asakawa-kun, please give me more advice."
