Ichika's World

"My hand hurts."

Ichika walked to the entrance, acting like a spoiled brat, and handed her the briefcase in her hand.

Needless to say, it was naturally her and Yotsuba changing clothes inside.

Naoki reached out and took the suitcase: "Come here, I'll give you a massage."

"Yotsuba hasn't come yet?"

Ichika changed into her slippers and looked inside the house.

"Not yet."

"Then wait for Yotsuba to return, then massage together."

Naoki immediately understood Ichika's meaning and said without speaking:

"You don't always bully Yotsuba."

"Asakawa-kun is very biased." Ichika puffed out her cheeks "Obviously you were the one who bullied Yotsuba the most."

Thinking about it carefully, nothing seems wrong.

"Whoo~"

Ichika walked into the living room, raised his hands above his head, stretched his waist, and said firmly, "Please call me strategically Ichika in the future."

Naoki poured a cup of barley tea and handed it over: "Where is the wisdom?"

Ichika held a cup in both hands and drank the tea with a smile.

"If I wasn't smart enough to purposely get out of bed in the morning, wouldn't it be possible to live together in a justifiable way?"

It's in your nature to stay in bed, and that has nothing to do with being smart.

After drinking tea, Ichika placed the cup on the table, suddenly opened her eyes, and drew closer.

In Ichika's eyes, sparkling waves flickered lightly, and she said with a serious expression:

"It's question and answer time."

"Um?"

Ichika asked, "What's my favorite drink?"

This question is very simple, Naoki knows the drink that the Quintuplets like.

"Frappucinos."

Naoki gave his answer without hesitation.

"Correct answer." Ichika hugged Naoki's neck with both hands and gently kissed Naoki's lips, "A reward for the correct answer."

The corners of Naoki's mouth twitched "I feel like you are using me."

"Hmph, do you wish to continue answering the questions, Asakawa-kun?"

Naoki looked right: "Continue, kisses don't matter, I like answering questions the most."

"What is Ichika's favorite animal?"

"Hippopotamus."

"Correct answer."

Ichika kissed again.

"What about your favorite food?"

"Sauri."

"That's true again."

Ichika continues to offer rewards.

"Hate food?"

"Mushrooms, green peppers and bitter melon."

"It's hard to say if you get it right every time."

Ichika sat in Naoki's arms and kept asking:

"What are my habits every day?"

Naoki pondered: "Can't afford to stay in bed?"

"Wrong answer."

"Wrong, should be jogging."

"The reward is split in half."

...

The childish quiz game didn't last long, and a knock on the door quickly rang.

"Should be Yotsuba." Ichika stood up and patted the folds of her skirt, "Asakawa-kun, open the door."

Naoki walked to the door, opened it, and there was indeed a cautious Yotsubat outside.

"Excuse me."

Yotsuba said quietly.

"In." Naoki pushed open the door.

"Oh."

Yotsuba carefully walked to the entrance, "Is Ichika coming?"

"Don't worry, Ichika has arrived."

"Good."

Hearing that Ichika had arrived, Yotsuba immediately relaxed, handed his school bag to Naoki, and started changing his sandals.

"Why does Yotsuba look worried?" Ichika came and asked curiously.

"Absolutely not!"

Yotsuba quickly turned her head to deny it.

She sacrificed herself for others, helped her friends, and finally signed an unequal agreement in a naked apron… What a shame, she wouldn't tell a third person!

"I am very hungry." Yotsuba covered her stomach and changed the subject, "Asakawa-san, how do you eat at night?"

Naoki said, "I come back in the evening to buy ingredients."

Yotsuba clenched her fist: "Leave the cooking to me!"

The chefs of the Nakano family, one is Nino, and the second is Yotsuba.

As for Ichika, Miku and Itsuki could only wait to eat.

Naoki shook his head: "You drink tea first, then let's go together."

Ichika sat on the sofa, hugging his knees with his arms and watching TV: "Nino often said that cooking is the place of battle for fated people, so I won't bother you."

Naoki looks at Ichika: "You wash the dishes after eating."

"Eh?" Ichika turned pale in surprise, "What about the last meal?"

Naoki said unhurriedly:

"This is the Asakawa house, and I have the final say in the rules."

"Asakawa-kun bullied me!"

...

After drinking tea, Yotsuba quickly walked into the kitchen, took out an apron, and tied it around herself: "Asakawa-san, what do you want me to do?"

"Peel and chop potatoes, and make hot and sour grated potatoes at night."

Yotsuba raised her hand in a salute: "Leave it to me."

Cooking skills are not as good as Nino's, but when it comes to starting hands, Yotsuba is first. After the potatoes are cut, and then placed in a small basin to wash off the excess, so as not to wait.

"Done."

As soon as Yotsuba looked up, she saw Naoki looking at her with a subtle look, her face flushed, and said:

"Shredded potatoes cut, what else?"

"Clean the shrimp again."

"Oh."

After washing the shrimp for a while, Yotsuba couldn't help but turn her body slightly: "Don't keep looking at me, Asakawa-san."

Naoki said firmly, "I guess I have to remind you."

"...Reminds of what?"

"A promise made yesterday, but forgotten today?"

"I didn't forget." Yotsuba's face became even redder, she glanced at Ichika who was playing with her cell phone on the sofa in the living room, "Ichika is still there, how can I wear an apron like that… and the weather is so cold, what should I do if I catch a cold?" ?"

"You can turn on the air conditioner."

"What about Ichika?"

"Let Ichika go and buy some soy sauce."

Yotsuba: "...Bulls at me!"

Of course Naoki won't let Ichika buy soy sauce, it will take a long time, so don't rush for a while.

Preparation complete.

Cook in a saucepan.

Yotsuba raised her eyes to look at Naoki, and whispered:

"Then... Asakawa-san is available this Friday afternoon?"

Naoki put down the spoon in his hand and looked at Yotsuba: "What are you doing?"

"The basketball club will be going to Toyonozaki Academy to compete." Yotsuba whispered "Aino-chan asked me to ask if you have time, if you have time, could you come with us just in case? If someone else gets hurt, I will ask Asakawa-san."

Naoki said speechlessly:

"Isn't this the school doctor's problem?"

"It's just insurance." Yotsuba said hopefully, "Just in case, it's best that no one gets hurt."

"So." Naoki nodded "Let's go together."

"Huuu..."

Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief, handed over her present, and whispered with a blushing face, "When the game is over, let me change into any clothes."

"No need." Naoki shook his head.

"Eh?"

Yotsuba looked surprised.

Naoki stroked Yotsuba's hair and said warmly, "It's enough to see Yotsuba's performance on the court."

Yotsuba's eyes widened, and she quickly turned her head away: "…This kind of statement is too lewd!"

...

Dinner.

"I'll wash the dishes."

Yotsuba stood up, ready to clear the dishes.

"No, I'll wash it." Ichika stopped Yotsuba "Asakawa-kun is the head of the family now, you should listen to what he has to say, let me do the dishes."

Yotsuba had no choice but to turn to look at Naoki.

"Let Ichika do the dishes." Naoki nodded, "The division of labor and cooperation can last a long time... and there's already a dishwasher."

Only then did Yotsuba agree, "Alright then."

Naoki sat down at the table and looked at Yotsuba: "Come and study."

"Un."

Yotsuba hastily agreed.

...

After a while, Ichika comes out after washing the dishes and sees Naoki and Yotsuba studying, walking over with a plate of sliced apples.

"Yotsuba trained for a day." Ichika put down the fruit plate, "Eat an apple."

"Thank you Ichika."

Yotsuba took a bamboo stick and stabbed an apple.

Ichika poked an apple and brought it to Naoki's mouth without hesitation: "Asakawa-kun, open your mouth."

Yotsuba turned to look.

Naoki's expression remained unchanged, and he opened his mouth to eat the apple.

"...Don't eat in front of me!"

Yotsuba could only complain.

"We're staying at Asakawa-kun's house, this is what we have to do." Ichika said seriously "Yotsuba, it's your turn."

"There's no such thing." Yotsuba turned her head away "I won't feed you."

Feeding Naoki in front of her face, Ichika's face doesn't even turn red... It's scary!

The shame is gone!

Ichika didn't force it, she pricked another apple and handed it to Naoki saying:

"Yotsuba training for so long every day must be really tired, right?"

"It doesn't matter." Yotsuba ate another apple, "It's good to get used to it, not too tired, it's better to exercise a bit more, and can sleep well at night."

Ichika smiled and suggested:

"Isn't it more efficient for us to study in the dream world at night?"

"Coughs." Yotsuba coughed suddenly, "No need, it's good to study now."

Ichika firmly said:

"Yotsuba is on leave to go to training on the weekends, but doesn't stay home to study. Only studying in the dream world can make up for missed homework."

Knowing what to do in the dream world, but also pushing herself to go to Dreamland World, it is too much to deceive people!

Currently only...

Yotsuba looked at Naoki sadly, raised her hand and complained, "Asakawa-san, Ichika is disturbing my study room."

Naoki finished eating the apple and looked at Ichika "Don't disturb Yotsuba study room."

"Asakawa-kun is too biased." Ichika puffed out her cheeks "I won't feed you, I'll eat it myself."

When Naoki poked a piece of apple, Ichika said again "I won't be angry if you feed me."

Yotsuba: "😐"

She finally knows why she isn't happy anymore, Ichika is clearly showing off his love so immorally!

After eating an apple, Ichika also took his school bag and started studying.

The phone suddenly vibrates.

Yotsuba picked up the phone, "This is Nino's video call."

Turn on the video call.

Nino, Miku and Itsuki appear in the video together.

"What are you three doing?" he asked.

"I am learning." Yotsuba turned the phone to Naoki and Ichika "I just finished eating, what about you?"

"The pizza we eat tonight." Itsuki replied, "Nino said that there were only three people in the house, and she wasn't interested in cooking anymore."

Naoki twirled the pencil in his fingertips: "Nino is too eccentric."

"Hah?" Nino folded his arms across his chest, "Why am I eccentric?"

"Ichika and Yotsuba aren't here, you can use the pizza to kill Miku and Itsuki."

Miku puffed out her cheeks, "I suggest eating pizza."

Naoki's expression became serious: "Since it's Miku, then there's no problem."

"Pah!"

Nino gritted his teeth and stared, "That pisses me off!"

"Have you finished your homework?" Naoki asked.

Itsuki nodded, "It's done."

Naoki said: "That's right, I will give you some consolidation exercises."

Nino couldn't help complaining: "You're a devil for letting us study this late!"

....

After chatting for a bit, Nino and the others ended the call.

Ichika clenched his fists with both hands, got up and stretched, and said in a lazy voice, "Asakawa-kun, will you accompany me to the door?"

Naoki turned to look at Ichika "Why are you out so late?"

"Go jogging." Ichika said, "I used to run for a bit every day. If I don't run for a day, I always feel like something is missing."

There is a treadmill in the Nakano family's apartment, fortunately it hasn't yet become a clothes dryer, Ichika rarely runs every day.

Now that there is no treadmill at home, if she wants to run, she can only go out to run.

Naoki nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go."

Yotsuba looked up, "Should I go too?"

"Don't go Yotsuba." Ichika stretched out her hand to stop her "You go wash up first, Asakawa-kun and I will go downstairs and run for a bit, and we'll be right back."

Yotsuba agreed, "Then you can go."

"Asakawa-kun, let's go."

...

The two changed shoes and left the apartment together.

The cold night wind whistled.

"So cold {{(>_<)}}."

Ichika hugged his arm, slightly shivering, looked at Naoki "I regret it."

You regret it too soon!

Naoki urged: "It won't be cold when you run."

Ichika stretched out his hand "But it's really cold right now."

Naoki held Ichika's hand. "What about now?"

Ichika smiled and shook his hand: "Not cold at all."

Naoki took Ichika and headed to a small park not far from the apartment.

It is now the end of autumn, and winter is about to set in. The park is cold and dreary, lonely and cold, except for Ichika and Naoki, there's no one else.

The two ran in the park and ran several laps in the blink of an eye, in terms of physical strength, they far surpassed Miku and Furuhashi.

After running for a while, Ichika turned on coquettish mode.

"Wow~ I'm so tired, Asakawa-kun, I can't run anymore."

"Then go home."

"Asakawa-kun take me back."

"Walk alone."

"I can't walk anymore." Ichika opened her arms "I like Asakawa-kun the most, carry me quickly."

In the face of Ichika's flirtatiousness, even Naoki can't remain indifferent.

"Come on." Naoki bowed.

Ichika's hands hugged Naoki's neck and stretched out a finger: "Let's go."

"You're wrong, the garden exit is at the back."

After bringing Ichika to the entrance of the park, Ichika reluctantly went down, spread his arms and hugged Naoki's arm, "Let's buy bubble tea."

The two of them bought three cups of bubble tea and returned to the apartment with bubble tea. Yotsuba was sitting in the living room wearing pajamas, and there was still moisture in her hair. It was clear that she had just taken a shower

"Dry your hair." Naoki warns, "Be careful of catching a cold."

Yotsuba nodded, "After taking a shower, I'll blow my hair."

"Do you know where the hairdryer is?"

"Know."

Ichika handed over the bubble tea, "Yotsuba, your bubble tea."

Yotsuba took the bubble tea, bit on a straw and took a sip, slightly worried, "Does drinking bubble tea at night make you gain weight?"

"Don't worry." Naoki commented, "With the amount you train, there's no possibility of gaining any weight at all."

"I'm sweating, it's so uncomfortable." Ichika leaned forward with her hands behind her back "Asakawa-kun let's take a bath together?"

"puff—"

Yotsuba spat out a mouthful of bubble tea.

Taking a bath together? !

To actually say such a thing to her face, Ichika was really going wild!

Ichika turned to look at Yotsuba with a serious expression: "Our Nakano Family always repays our kindness. Asakawa-kun took us in tonight, cooked for us, and helped us with our homework, it's a kindness to us."

This is not a thank you reply, this is clearly a promise!

Yotsuba coughed while covering her mouth "You're free, I didn't hear anything."

Naoki looked at Yotsuba, and suddenly said, "Ichika's power is too small."

"How to say?"

"It's up to Yotsuba to wipe the back."

Yotsuba: "...You two partner up to bully me!"
