Attack Itsuki!

"… What did you just do?!"

Naoki only felt a sudden tightening in his right hand that was being strangled around his neck.

Then Nino's trembling voice reached his ears.

Naoki was surprised when he heard those words, looked up, and saw that Nino's face was red to the point of bleeding.

"I think I just tore the string of my panties…"

Naoki was already halfway through, and suddenly reacted.

"Wait, isn't that a decoration?"

"Of course not!"

Nino tightly covered her skirt, feeling the protection loosen and fall, and there was already moisture escaping from the top of her head.

Very bad.

It's just her and Naoki, the problem here is people coming and going at the shrine.

"Why are you wearing panties like that?"

Naoki couldn't help but ask.

He knows Nino is a fashion girl with good clothes and avant-garde style, but the knotted panties are too bold!

"Isn't it okay to be curious?"

Nino wanted to cry but didn't cry.

When she got up to get dressed this morning, on a whim, she picked out a bold pair of panties, who knew she would meet a scene of death.

Of course she wouldn't be wearing safety pants, something a country girl would wear.

"Can you hold on until you get down?" Naoki said in a low voice.

"...Too late."

Nino clenched her lower lip and started rushing over, "Hurry up and use your invisibility to find a solution."

Are you an idiot?

See-through in full view, don't miss the New Year, Naoki will soon be wanted by the whole world!

"Don't be nervous, leave it to me."

Naoki's tone was calm, and he quickly made up his mind.

It's a temple, and there are lots of tourists coming in and out. Before letting Nino's panties down, Naoki has to sort out Nino's worries first. Otherwise, Nino would not be able to move an inch, that is, the panties would fall off.

Under everyone's watch, something suddenly fell out from under the skirt, and Nino would definitely die on the spot.

Meanwhile, it is estimated that she will drag himself to die together.

"What would you do?"

Nino hugged Ninoki tightly, and now, the only hope lies in Naoki.

Naoki didn't speak, but adjusted his posture without a trace, his right hand slipped in from the hem of Nino's skirt, using skill.

"Eh?"

Nino soon finds that the panties have disappeared.

"Don't be nervous, I saved it." Naoki whispered, "Now you can walk."

Nino clutched her chest and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Crisis resolved.

The skirt she was wearing today was conservative in style, with the hem reaching down to her knees, as long as she was careful, she wouldn't be noticed at all.

"Wait!"

Nino's eyes suddenly widened, thinking of an entirely new and frightening problem.

Now that the panties are gone, she's still sitting on Naoki's shoulder, meaning...

After suddenly finding a blind spot, the temperature on Nino's face rose rapidly, instantly turning into a ripe tomato. This time she finally couldn't control the temperature, and moisture came out from the top of her head.

"What are you pulling my hair for?"

Naoki's tone was confused.

"You know that well!"

Nino clenched his silver teeth, wanting to die from embarrassment and anger.

"Exaggerating." Naoki's tone became subtle, "I've been asking your opinion the whole time."

Nino reached out and grabbed Naoki's ear.

"How dare you say it, quickly put me down!"

During the conversation, several people came with Itsuki.

Ichika rested her chin on her right hand, half closed her eyes, and said suspiciously:

"Nino blushed, I feel a little suspicious."

Miku slightly puffed out her bun face: "Reckless Asakawa, put Nino down quickly."

Yotsuba was very curious: "Obviously you can borrow the ladder, why not?"

The ahoge hair on Itsuki's head shook slightly, holding a bunch of baked rice cakes in her hand: "It's noon, let's have lunch together... Eh, the monkey is rushing!"

People who dare to wander around the temple with snacks are usually the target of monkey hunting.

Despite the average size of these monkeys, most people would choose to avoid them when they attacked aggressively.

Itsuki is no exception.

Naoki was about to shake off Nino from his shoulders, but before he had time, several monkeys attacked aggressively, scaring the girl into hiding behind Naoki.

"Ichika, don't squeeze me."

"Itsuki, quickly throw away your rice cakes!"

"Throwing food..."

Wasting stuff, let alone letting Itsuki waste food.

Even though she knew Ichika was right, Itsuki still couldn't do it decisively.

Naoki was pinned in the middle by several girls, dangling, and finally couldn't take it anymore, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The monkeys were suddenly startled, as if they saw a flood of beasts, they squeaked, then turned and fled.

Miku clutched her chest, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "I'm safe."

Itsuki took the rice cake and quickly ate it.

"It's over, now the monkeys won't come for food anymore."

"Why are you crying?"

Yotsuba suddenly let out a low voice, and the girls' attention returned to Nino.

They saw Nino cover her pink lips, her pretty face was flushed, her eyes full of tears, and she clearly had an expression ready to cry.

"Did Nino just get scratched by a monkey?"

Yotsuba thought of a possibility, and hurriedly asked worriedly.

"I..." Nino moved her lips, for some reason his voice trembled, "I wasn't clawed."

"That's good," Itsuki said in a confused tone, "Why is Nino crying? Is she crying out of fright?"

"There is an idiom called crying tears of joy," said Naoki in a gentle tone.

"What do you mean?"

Very simple.

Crying is not only because of fear, but also because of shame.

Naoki couldn't tell the truth, and if he did, he would definitely be beaten to death by Nino.

The crisis is finally resolved, Naoki immediately takes Nino down.

As a result, Nino's legs went limp and she almost failed to stand up.

"Nino, are you okay?"

Yotsuba's eyes were quick, and she supported Nino in a daze: "Why can't you stand up?"

Nino turned his head away, took a deep breath and said, "I was a bit scared of heights earlier, but I'm fine now."

Wait.

Do not panic.

No matter what just happened, Miku and the others must not know!

"Asakawa-kun, are you alright?" Ichika put her hands behind her back, her voice sweet and gentle, "Why do you keep rubbing your neck?"

Nino heard the words and quickly looked up, the embarrassment in his eyes had not disappeared.

"Do not say anything! Otherwise, we will die together!"

Naoki winked, with a clear expression, while rubbing his neck, he said without changing his face:

"I just twisted my neck."

"Should we leave the temple first?" Yotsuba suggested, "The monkeys might be coming for some more stuff."

"Let's go."

They go out together.

Nino who usually walked in front of the sisters with his head held high, holding her skirt and walking behind today, his steps were obviously a little slow.

She was just a pretentious girl, not a pervert, and she couldn't keep her face the same as Yuika's, or even enjoy it.

"Nino, what's wrong with you?"

Miku who was left behind, keenly noticed Nino's abnormality, and couldn't help asking.

"I'm fine." Nino turned his head away.

Miku: "This expression definitely means something is going on."

"Yes, right."

"I'll ask the reckless Asakawa."

"Miku, you know too many secrets, but it will be silenced."

"I am not afraid."

...

They walked out of the temple quickly.

"By the way, Nino's glasses are broken, want to buy a pair?"

Yotsuba minded her business.

"No need." Naoki said "I just gave Nino the eagle eye buff, so she won't have to wear glasses for a day."

"That's good." Itsuki nodded "Why didn't Nino wear contact lenses today?"

"I went to bed late last night, and when I woke up, my eyes were uncomfortable."

Nino acted as if nothing had happened.

The girl's adaptability was quite strong. At first she was cautious, didn't dare to take a step, and was worried that the wind would suddenly blow and kill herself on the road.

After walking for a while, Nino found that it didn't matter if she didn't wear checkers. No one looked at her, and no one gave her strange glances, so his steps gradually became normal.

Of course her right hand was still hidden under her skirt, always guarding against accidents.

"I am curious."

Ichika tilted her head and looked at Nino, "I've never sat on a man's shoulder before, is Nino comfortable?"

"Totally uncomfortable!" Nino exclaimed, "Asakawa's hair is so tough!"

"Sorry about the hard hair."

Naoki sincerely apologized.

"Just this one, their roast beef tongue is super good, highly recommended."

Itsuki stopped in front of a barbecue restaurant.

Of course, Naoki didn't mind, and a few people entered the shop together.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

After entering the shop, Nino went straight to the bathroom.

Not long after, Naoki received a message.

"Stupid Asakawa, quickly return my panties!"

Naoki sipped the ice water silently, got up and walked to the bathroom.

Turning around in the corridor, he saw Nino standing in front of the bathroom door, covering her skirt with her arms folded, looking a little reserved.

It could all be a hallucination.

"Stupid Asakawa, hanging or seppuku, you choose."

Nino opened his mouth, and the quiet girl's hallucinations instantly disappeared.

Naoki walked up to Nino and said seriously:

"Before punishment, the crime must be read first right? Please explain what crime I committed."

"You..."

Nino's face reddened, she was embarrassed and angry.

Such bad things cannot be said at all.

Naoki smiled faintly and said:

"Since it's innocent, shouldn't we talk about the reward?"

"You still have the audacity to ask for a reward?"

Nina opened her eyes wide.

"Why am I shy?" Naoki was confident, and stretched out a few fingers, "Speak here after hard work, find you who are lost, and then share the ability to make you see things clearly, act as a mount, and help you take down your mobile phone. In the end, solving your social death crisis, so many credits, you can't turn a blind eye, can you?"

"You dare say it!"

Nino was so angry that she wanted to bite someone, "If you don't pull the rope carelessly, the following things will never happen!"

"I can't see what you're wearing, you should have reminded me earlier."

"How can I remind you!"

"So don't blame me."

"Stop talking, and return the underwear to me quickly."

Naoki took out his underwear from his pocket.

Pink.

Too bad there are no bears.

Naoki has to say that it style is quite bold and quite alluring.

Naoki only glanced at her, but Nino quickly took it, turned and walked into the bathroom with a blush.

Back to the shop, and Naoki sits beside Miku.

"Sniff~"

Miku bent down and sniffed his nose, and suspected: "It all smells of Nino."

"Normal, Nino to sit on my shoulder and lift her."

Naoki's face remained unchanged.

"Must be more than that."

Miku narrowed her eyes slightly, and entered famous detective mode.

Nino's skin wasn't that thin, something must have happened that she didn't know about, it should be when Nino sat on the shoulder of the reckless Asakawa...

Not.

There is too little information to analyze.

"Nino found, it's time to talk about something else." Naoki crossed his fingers "You want snow?"

"I want snow." Ichika clasped her hands in front of her chest, looking at Miku in a sweet voice, "Miku, please."

"I refuse." Miku refused without hesitation "Any of you could do something like that, don't ask me."

Ichika blinked: "Miku is the snow maiden chosen by Asakawa-kun."

"I don't."

"Today is the last day of last year. If it doesn't snow, there will be regrets, right?"

"I have no regrets at all." Miku said indifferently "I'd rather play games in the kotatsu than snow."

"That's too much for Miku. I now announce that Miku has lost her qualification as a Snow Maiden."

After Ichika finished speaking, she turned to look at Yotsuba, and said with a smile, "Is Yotsuba going to be the new snow maiden?"

"I can't." Yotsuba blushed slightly, and quickly shook her head, "I don't want to be like that at all."

Ichika propped up his chin: "What about Itsuki?"

"Why do you always let us?" Itsuki replied, "Ichika is fine."

Finally, the question was asked to Naoki.

"Asakawa-kun, who do you want to be a snow maiden today?" Ichika asked with a smile.

Naoki said in a deep voice:

"I want all."

"Eh?"

"Teleporting here just now took a lot of physical strength. If you want to ask for snow with remaining power, I need the five of you together…"

"Bah."

"Shameless."

"Asakawa-kun sure is greedy."

"I think it's a strong will to survive..."

Haven't seen the five sisters in a week, and Naoki misses them a lot. While he can be in touch on a video call, it's better to have a live chat.

Especially Itsuki.

Naoki had not seen Itsuki eat for several days, and he always felt that the food was not good.

...

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

The winter sun shines from the window and falls on the body, which is very comfortable.

"It's 1 p.m." Yotsuba glanced at the time on her phone, and quickly stood up, "We have to go back to make New Year's lunch."

New Years in Japan is the biggest festival of the year, and everyone needs to rest, so make a bento lunch from January 1st to 3rd in advance.

Naoki: "Why don't you order online?"

There are many kinds of New Year's lunch boxes, and it's quite a hassle to make, now more and more people are ordering online, which can save you the trouble.

"It's more meaningful to make it yourself." Yotsuba shook her head, "Before Mom leaves, we all make New Year's lunch together."

Nino: "This is a tradition of the Nakano family."

"I forgot to clean the house."

The ahoge hair on the top of Itsuki's head suddenly fell, and she said softly, "It was a dark day when we were little, and today mother brought us to clean together."

The most important festival in Japan is tomorrow, which is January 1st, but today is the busiest day.

The so-called great dark day meant that every household had to clean up to get rid of bad luck.

By the time they run away from home, Ichika is "renting" the quintuplets' childhood home again, and the lease is still in progress.

"You can come back whenever you want," said Naoki suddenly.

"Eh?"

Facing Itsuki's bright eyes, Naoki said:

"I can use teleportation to go back, clean up the house, and then come back."

Yotsuba quickly raised her hand: "Then let's go back together, and the cleaning will be over soon."

"Teleportation takes a lot of energy." Naoki shook his head "It is best to return alone."

"I will be back." Itsuki's tone was serious, and she quickly made his decision, "Nino and Yotsuba are going back to make New Year's lunch boxes. Ichika can't clean, and his room can't be cleaned."

Ichika is sad: "I feel rejected."

"Miku isn't working either." Itsuki continued, "It is estimated that he will be exhausted after half of the cleaning."

Makes sense.

Since winter break, Miku has started living as a house girl, and she really lacks exercise. Now let alone 1,000 meters, it is estimated that she will not be able to run 800 meters.

Naoki nodded in agreement: "Miku is a mascot, suitable for playing games quietly."

Displeased, Miku spread her fingers and stabbed Naoki lightly in the waist.

"Guilty, my seppuku."

"Think of it like this," Itsuki said quickly, "Ichika, you guys go back first. Asakawa-san and I will return to Tokyo and clean the house."

Ichika: "Then please take care of Itsuki."

The parties say goodbye.

The four sisters return to their grandfather's house first, and Itsuki is the only one left beside Naoki.

"Asakawa-san should we go back?" Itsuki looked up.

Naoki nodded and said:

"Let's find a place where no one is around."

The two of them walked into a deserted alley.

"Here, please." Naoki glanced back and forth, then looked at Itsuki, opened his arms "Hug me."

"Eh?"

Itsuki was surprised "Why do you want me to hug you?"

Naoki said firmly:

"The cuddling position is the safest."

"In that case, okay..."

Itsuki's face blushed slightly, without much hesitation, she quickly stepped forward and hugged Naoki from the front.

The sun is warm and shining, smelling the detergent on Naoki, Itsuki subconsciously closes her eyes, and now, no matter how dull his emotions are, she understands her own heart.

She couldn't hate him at all, better say she liked him.

"Itsuki..."

Naoki shouted softly.

The ahoge hair on the top of Itsuki's head trembled slightly, hee heartbeat increased involuntarily: "What are you doing?"

"You really don't need to hug so tightly."

"Eh?"

"It ribs are about to break..."

Itsuki opened her eyes.

*CRACK*
