The Nakano Family Keeps Their Promise

"Nino senpai?"

Yuika was surprised and hastily put her hands behind her.

"What are you two doing?" Nino asked suspiciously.

Yuika looked at Asakawa.

"Yuika, you go back to eat first." Naoki said calmly "I'll tell Nino."

"Oh." Yuika bowed and said, "Nino senpai, I'll be back first."

Seeing Yuika leave, Nino retracted his gaze, glaring at Naoki angrily, "…You're not even going to let go of the junior high school students?"

What's wrong with junior high school students?

Yuika knows more about moves than you do!

Naoki explained: "A pot of sukiyaki is too expensive, but the pocket money that Yuika brought was not enough. She just asked me to borrow money."

In Japan, even if it's a couple in a relationship, almost all consumption of going out and dating is done by each other's side, and the act of treating guests is quite rare.

Naoki looked at Nino: "Help keep this matter a secret, don't tell."

"You don't need to say it, I definitely won't say it." Nino hummed, "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing."

Nino still wanted to ask, but Naoki changed the subject and said: "You didn't eat, why did you suddenly come out?"

"My mouth hurts." Nino covered his cheeks when she heard those words, and said in an irritated tone, "Eat that food like a burning fire, don't eat it."

Naoki pondered: "Thrush in the mouth?"

"Should." Nino nodded, with a slightly depressed expression, "It's fine to go out in the morning, but I feel a bit sick after eating at noon. I just ate sukiyaki and accidentally stabbed it with chopsticks and now it hurts so much… I'm going to the drugstore to buy a box of cold sore medicine."

"Oral thrush is a deadly disease." Naoki said slowly, "Consuming medicine doesn't really work."

"What?"

Nino's eyes widened when she heard those words.

She's just a canker sore, how can it be a fatal disease when it's in your mouth?

"Deadly diseases in medicine are different from deadly diseases in normal life." Naoki followed Nino and walked out of the Sukiyaki Pot restaurant. The snow was still falling, and there were people on the street in twos and threes, and there were still people in the distance.

"For example, canker sores are said to be related to diet, sleep, lack of vitamins in the body and others. Frankly speaking, the specific cause is unknown, and there is no specific cure. Medication for canker sores can only relieve symptoms, not cure... Actually canker sores heal by themselves."

Correctly.

It seems inconspicuous, but the canker sores that everyone experiences are actually an "incurable disease" in medicine. Neither the cause nor the specific treatment drug can be found, and the human body heals itself.

"What?" Nino clenched his fists and punched. "I thought it was an incurable disease, and I was almost scared to death by you."

Naoki held Nino's fist, and after a while after coming out, it was cold: "So don't go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, it's useless, why don't you let me help."

Nino quickly understood and snorted, "No, I refuse."

Naoki looked at Nino and said unhurriedly:

"You have canker sores, spicy food, too high temperature, too sweet food. You can't eat it, rarely go out to play, do you plan to stop eating?"

"If I don't eat it, don't eat it." Nino was a little less confident. "I can also eat ice cream. Today's purple sweet potato ice cream tastes really good."

Naoki asked back "You forgot to eat too much ice cream on the bus to Kyoto that night and your stomach hurts?"

Nino: "😐"

If Naoki hadn't said it, she would have almost forgotten, but now that Naoki mentioned it, Nino covered his stomach, as if it was starting to hurt again.

"Crow's mouth." Nino said, "If your stomach hurts, it must be your fault."

"So I have to take responsibility now."

Naoki stretched out his arms and hugged Nino as he spoke. The girl's waist was slender and soft, and with a little force, he easily hugged her.

Nino supported Naoki's chest and snorted softly: "Sounds good, if you really take charge, you won't be shameless to open the harem."

Naoki said firmly: "I have chosen many times, and finally realized that humans have limits, so I will not be human."

Nino was so angry that he pinched Naoki's waist, "Don't say JOJO's lines at this time."

"Wanna kiss?" Naoki asked.

"Kiss if you want."

When Naoki lowered his head and kissed, Nino lifted his face slightly and cooperated.

The pot of sukiyakin is very delicious, first it cures the canker sores, then eats it again, and Itsuki finishes it later.

After a while.

Naoki lets go of Nino: "Does it still hurt? Do you want to do it again?"

"It doesn't matter." Nino gasped lightly, raising his hand to wipe the drool from the corners of his lips, "Hurry back, people will be suspected."

The two returned to the Sukiyaki Pot restaurant and continued eating.

"Nino, you're back?" Yotsuba looked up, "Have you found the pharmacy yet?"

"Ah..." Nino coughed lightly, his eyes wandering slightly, "I found it, it's fine, continue to eat... Eh, why are there so many wagyu?"

Itsuki's cheeks twitched lightly: "I didn't feel like I had enough to eat, so I asked for something else."

"There's snow on your shoulders." Miku reached out to help Nino drop the snowflakes off his shoulders. "Eat quickly to warm yourself up, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Nino picked up his chopsticks, picked up the wagyu beef that had absorbed the soup, dipped it in the raw egg liquid, and put it in his mouth: "It's really delicious."

Yotsuba asked curiously, "Nino's lip doesn't hurt anymore?"

Nino ate and said indifferently, "The medicine is working very well, I don't feel anything anymore."

Miku and Yotsuba looked at each other, turned their heads together, and looked at Naoki.

Nino's face quickly turned red, and she wanted to refute, but she was speechless.

It's just that Itsuki didn't take it to heart at all, looking at the wagyu beef in the sukiyaki pot with great interest: "Nino, are you still eating?"

Nino gritted his teeth: "Of course I eat it!"

Paying so much for a mouth ulcer is not to watch you eat!

...

After eating the sukiyaki pot and the post-meal dessert, everyone stopped their chopsticks in satisfaction. As there are still customers waiting in line, Naoki and company don't stay any longer and get up to pay the bill.

"Wait-"

Seeing Yuika who was walking with Furuhashi, Nino suddenly found his previous blind spot.

According to the distance between relatives, Yuika wanted to borrow pocket money, so she had to ask Furuhashi for help, why did she have to ask Naoki?

Could it be that... She has a closer relationship with Naoki?

Opening the curtains in front of the sukiyaki shop, a cold wind blew.

Furuhashi shuddered, looked at the sky where the snowflakes were rising, and said in a pleasant tone, "Snow is still falling."

Ogata nodded and said: "I sent a message to my father, saying that it doesn't snow in Tokyo, it only snows in Kamakura, it feels a bit strange."

Sekijou reached out to catch the falling snowflakes: "Generally speaking, the first snow isn't very big, it stops after a while, and it's rare to see it fall completely."

When Miku heard the words, she slowed down and came to Naokir's side: "... It's snowing, no one will doubt it, right?"

Naoki said confidently: "It's normal to snow in winter, but snow in June will make people suspicious."

Miku calmed down a little: "That's good."

"What are you talking about?" Ichika's voice suddenly came from behind.

Miku was taken aback, and quickly looked away: "Don't scare people from behind."

"Ah, sorry, next time not." Ichika smiled and apologized.

Miku was silent: "There is no sincerity."

Ichika tilted his head to look at Naoki: "Compared to Asakawa-kun?"

Miku raised her eyes to look and commented: "...You two are the same raccoon dog."

Naoki countered, "I didn't."

"Clear." Miku bit her lower lip "You just bullied Nino…"

"Eh?" Ichika was surprised, "What happened to Nino?"

"It is nothing." Miku turned her face away, she knew it in her heart, and of course she couldn't say it out of her mouth, after all, Nino wanted face the most.

Ichika's eyes turned and looked at Naoki: "Asakawa-kun, say."

Naoki looked at Miku, and quickly earned Miku's gaze: "Miku won't let me talk."

Miku: "😐"

"Too biased." Ichika poked Naoki's waist, "You and Miku have a little secret, but you don't tell me."

Miku paused: "I didn't sneak."

"What were you talking about behind? Nino paused and folded his arms "It's getting cold, hurry up and go back to the hot springs."

Itsuki said: "That's because your stockings are too thin."

Yotsuba nodded: "Wearing stockings wouldn't be so cold."

"What are you all wearing..." Nino looked down and quickly opened his eyes, "When did you change your stockings?"

Naoki stared at the Quintuplets in front of him. Except for Nino, who was wearing knee-high black stockings, everyone else had changed into pantyhose.

Ichika put her hands behind her back, and said quite excitedly, "Does Asakawa-kun know when we change our stockings?"

Naoki shook his head: "I don't know."

Nino snorted softly: "So there are things you don't know."

"I just had dinner." Yotsuba didn't have a bad taste, and quickly explained, "It just so happened that Miku had spare stockings, so we changed them."

Nino paused: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because Nino has a stocking fetish." Itsuki said, "You usually don't want to wear pantyhose in winter."

Ichika stretched out her finger: "And there aren't that many spare pantyhoses."

....

Snowflakes are still falling.

The white lanterns on the street swayed gently in the wind.

As usual, Miku walked up behind, with everyone's voices chatting in her ear. Two geisha holding oil-paper umbrellas passed everyone by, and then disappeared into the snow and night.

Compared to the ancient city of Kamakura after the snow, it's really nice to be around important people.

....

Everyone braved the wind and snow and quickly made their way back to the hot spring hotel.

"I am going home."

"It's cold outside."

"Hot springs, I want to take hot springs."

After eating and drinking, it was past 8 pm before they noticed, and now a group of girls just wanted to soak in the hot springs.

"Everyone, clean your hair and the snow on your body first." Only Furuhashi didn't forget to instruct, "Be careful of catching a cold."

...

Naoki returned to his room, drank a glass of water, and got ready to take a shower.

Just as he was taking off his clothes, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Naoki walked over and opened the door. Several young girls are seen. It was Itsuki and the others, and there weren't many of them.

"What are you doing, you knock on the door when you are not taking a shower?"

Naoki spoke while looking at Miku.

Nino said, "You open the door first and let us in."

This is the men's room, you enter in the middle of the night, if you want to enter, aren't you afraid that the wolf will enter the tiger's mouth!

Naoki opened the door: "Come in."

"The bathroom is broken," said Itsuki quickly.

Yotsuba was wearing a white bath towel, and there was still moisture in her hair. She held his arm and shivered: "I'm going to take a shower now, but who knew that the shower was broken."

Naoki said quickly, "Go to the front desk to find a maintenance worker."

"It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow." Nino shook his head.

"Right." Ichika said "Everyone has taken off their clothes. What if the maintenance workers get angry and bully us?"

If she was alone, dis might be in danger. Five people together is enough to play basketball. Who dares to mess around!

"I'm relieved Itsuki is here." Naoki looked at Itsuki, "One Punch Itsuki."

Itsuki clenched his fists tightly and shouted, "Who will beat!"

"Yotsuba." Nino ordered, "Go take a shower, be careful of catching a cold."

"Oh." Yotsuba looked down sadly, "Asakawa-san, should I take a shower first?"

Naoki nodded and said, "You take a shower first."

Nino looked at Naoki and snorted softly, "If you're afraid of the cold, put your clothes on first."

"It's fine, the air conditioner temperature will rise soon." Naoki took a shirt and put it on.

"I am very tired." Ichika sat down on the tatami, clenched her fist and patted her shoulder "My shoulder hurts, Asakawa-kun help me massage my shoulder."

Naoki said, "You won't be tired after soaking in the hot springs."

"Hot baths aren't as pleasant as massages... ah, yes!" Ichika's eyes lit up, "While we were at the hot springs, would Asakawa-kun help you with the massage?"

"How could it be." Nino couldn't help but say, "Of course, the hot springs are separate."

Yotsuba came out of the bathroom: "I'll go to the hot springs first."

Saying that, she stepped on the clog and walked out.

Although there are also small indoor hot springs, when it comes to snowy nights, outdoor hot springs must be more artistic.

"Wait." Naoki replied, "I think this is the hot spring in my room, right? Did the Yotsuba go the wrong way?"

Ichika tilted his head: "Then call Yotsuba again?"

Nino hesitated: "You might catch a cold if you run around... Just let it be."

Flicking his chin, Nino motioned, "Itsuki, it's time for you to wash up."

"Oh." Itsuki didn't think much, "Then I'll take a shower first."

....

After Itsuki took a shower, Nino followed suit, and when Nino came out wearing a bathrobe and went to the hot springs, only Ichika and Miku were left in the room.

"Asakawa-kun, take off your clothes."

Ichika, who had just put on a serious face, looked at Naoki with a smile, "Miku and I will keep our promise now."
