Happy New Year

"You can open your eyes."

Naoki gently pinched the soft flesh around Itsuki's waist.

It's been a week and it seems to be getting better.

As the saying goes, big heart and fat body. Ever since winter break, Itsuki's daily business had been eating, drinking and having fun, and there was no worry. There seems to be more soft flesh around the waist.

Itsuki slapped Naoki's right hand: "Don't pinch my belly."

"It's been a while since I pinched…"

"That is also not allowed!"

Itsuki covered her waist and stomach with her hands. Looking around curiously: "This is a park near my hometown, and I came back as soon as I closed my eyes... It's really amazing."

"Teleportation is very convenient, it must be used to be a messenger to make a lot of money, right?"

Itsuki's eyes lit up, and she performed delivery services to make money.

She actually used teleportation to deliver couriers, she was too law abiding!

"Shipping too slow to make money." Naoki said earnestly "You can consider becoming a porter."

"Hah?"

Itsuki definitely didn't think of porters any better than couriers.

"To be precise, it is a planetary porter." Naoki said, "There is a large amount of helium 3 on the moon, which is a valuable resource that all nations desperately need. Helium 3 can be directly transported to the moon, mined for ore, then transported back to earth. Small goals can easily be completed in one round trip."

"That's what you said." Itsuki complained, "Teleport to a place like the moon, his body will instantly explode?"

Naoki looks at Itsuki: "Why do you think people will explode in space?"

"No air pressure... a whale would explode after being stranded at sea."

That's because the bacteria in the whale's body grow in great numbers after it dies, and it has nothing to do with air pressure!

"I remember wrong." Itsuki blinked "Should freeze people into ice cubes."

But it wasn't.

Unlike the environment that many people imagine, space is not a super cold place, in fact space has no temperature.

Because there are very few molecules in outer space, it is not enough to exhibit the attributes of "temperature", neither "cold" nor "hot", and will not freeze people into ice sculptures.

An ordinary person appears in outer space unprotected, but the greatest danger is suffocation and boiling bodily fluids.

...

Talking all the way, they quickly walked to the door of the old house.

"Arrive."

It had been a long time since anyone had lived in it, and the old house was definitely a bit cold and desolate.

Itsuki brought a spare key with her, now she took out the key, opened the door, gently pushed the door and walked to the entrance, clasped his hands together and said:

"I'm back."

Naoki followed into the house: "Let's start cleaning."

When the quintuplets lived here before, they bought all the cleaning supplies, and could use them when they took them out.

Itsuki took out a cleaning kit from the storage room, tied an apron around his waist, wrapped his hair in a towel, and said:

"Asakawa-san, there's a spider web in that corner."

"Okay."

"The fallen leaves in the outside yard should also be cleaned up."

The division of labor is complete.

The two quickly became busy.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the cleaning finally ended.

Looking at the clean living room, Itsuki wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and nodded in satisfaction:

"Thank you, Asakawa-san."

"It's really hard work." Naoki took the opportunity to claim credit, "I need a knee pillow reward."

"No knee pillows."

"Then let me pinch your belly."

"Don't even think about it!"

Itsuki looked around the room, and muttered to herself:

"I always feel like something is missing..."

"Is that a mirror cake?"

Naoki reminded from the side.

"Right!"

Itsuki's eyes lit up, "Let's go, go to the supermarket to buy a mirror cake."

The so-called mirror cake is actually two rice cakes, one large and one small stacked together, with an orange on top, which is used as an offering to the Gods, and every household has to prepare.

People used to make their own, but now buy them direct to avoid trouble.

Naoki and Itsuki walked into the supermarket, and there were quite a number of people shopping.

After buying a mirror cake, they bought a Shimenawa rope and hung it above the door to prevent unclean things from entering the house.

Finally, they bought a door pine pot, made of pine and bamboo, to guide the god's house.

Before leaving, Naoki buys two more packs of popping candy.

"What did you buy the popping candy for?" Itsuki asked curiously.

"You'll know when you get back." Naoki put the popping candy into the shopping basket in a meaningful tone.

After buying big and small bags, Naoki and Itsuki went home with their things, after some arrangements, all the customs for welcoming the new year were ready.

"Succeed."

Itsuki uncorked the bottle and took a sip, and looked at Naoki: "Asakawa-san, we can go back."

"Too tired, rest first." Naoki sat down on the sofa and waved at Itsuki "Let's sit down for a bit."

"Oh."

Itsuki thought little, completely oblivious to the evil human heart. She walked over and wanted to sit down, Naoki stretched out his arms and hugged Itsuki into his arms.

"Ehhh?"

Itsuki blushed, subconsciously wanting to get up.

"Don't move, let me hug you for a while." Naoki squeezed a little, hugged Itsuki tightly "Let me replenish Itsuki's energy."

"So what is it, I have never heard of it."

"A special energy that can make people full of energy and can eat three bowls of rice in one meal."

Itsuki puffed out his cheeks: "I'm mad!"

Seeing Itsuki with pink skin and gentle eyes, Naoki smiled:

"What should I do if I want to kiss Itsuki?"

"No kisses."

"Just a little kiss."

"How long do you want to kiss!"

Itsuki's face turned red, and his head tilted back slightly, "In short, that's impossible."

Saying this from the mouth, the body has no resistance.

Naoki sighed: "Forget it."

"Eh?"

Itsuki was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise.

Has Naoki really let herself go?

When Naoki was bullying people before, why didn't Itsuki watch him obediently?

Under Itsuki's suspicious gaze, Naoki took the candy he bought earlier, tore off the wrapper, and poured it all into his mouth.

"Why are you eating so many sweets?" Itsuki asked in confusion.

Naoki didn't speak, only reached out his hand to hug Itsuki again.

"Wait a moment..."

Itsuki finally found out why Naoki bought the popping candy, she blushed and wanted to refuse, but the moment she opened his mouth the next words stuck in his mouth.

After a while, as the saliva dissolved the candy, the large amount of carbon dioxide in the popping candy was released, creating an impact, and countless popping candy crunched and danced on the tips of their tongues.

Itsuki only felt dizzy in his head, and the novel experience she had never had before made her unable to think, his arms instinctively wrapped around Naoki's neck.

After such a long time.

Under Itsuki's punch, Naoki finally lets go.

"Hoo...hoo..."

Itsuki's rapid breathing immediately resounded in the room.

At the corner of their lips there is also a silver thread connected to each other.

"I can't breathe..."

Itsuki leaned gently on Naoki's arm, almost shedding tears.

"Just rest." Naoki sighed lightly, "There's still a bag of popping candy."

"Do not eat!"

Itsuki was so frightened that she quickly shook his head and refused.

The popping candy crunched on the tip of the tongue, and at the same time was intimidated. The combination of the two was extremely terrifying, and now the legs are weak.

"In that case, okay." Naoki helped Itsuki tidy up the bangs on his forehead, and stopped bullying others, "We will eat next year."

"Next year..." Itsuki quickly opened his eyes wide, "Isn't that tomorrow?"

Naoki made a straight face: "Or continue eating now."

"I will eat it next year." Itsuki shyly refused, picked up the cell phone to check, and found that twenty minutes had passed, "Hurry and go back to Grandpa house."

...

After a short break, Naoki sent Itsuki back to Izu, then teleported back to the apartment, showered and changed, and went to Nanako's house.

"...What are you doing here?"

Nanako stood behind the door and deliberately asked in an indifferent tone.

"Ask consciously." Naoki rubbed Kabuinujiro's dog's head, looked at Nanako, "Quickly change your shoes, and get ready to go."

"I don't want to go."

Nanako turned her face, and when this matter was over, she began to worry about gains and losses again, "If I go, Kabuinujiro will have to stay at home alone."

"Coward."

"Who are you calling a coward?"

Nanako glared at him.

It was you, who actually used Kabuinujiro as a shield, what else if you weren't a coward!

"Bring Kabuinujiro together." Naoki said, "Rin happened to say she wanted to play with Kabuinujiro."

Nanako snorted, and finally revealed her true thoughts: "...Today is a dark day, how can there be a reason to go to someone else's house as a guest?"

"It's not a guest, it's going home." Naoki corrected, "When I came back to clean up in the morning, I told my mom about dropping you off, and my mom said I should take you back with me."

Nanako hummed softly and began to bend down to change her shoes.

"I go."

Tell Kabuinujiro to stay home and lock the door, and Nanako and Naoki go to the train station together.

....

Naoki took Nanako and immediately came to the house.

"Or should I go back?"

Seeing the house in front of her, Nanako started to back away again.

Too fast.

She's a bad girl, she doesn't even agree to date, so why would she dare to meet Naoki's parents?

Well, thinking about it carefully, they had known each other for a year, which wasn't too soon… Even so, it was still too early to meet the parents.

Naoki held Nanako's right hand, stepped forward and pressed the doorbell:

"You are already mine, where do you want to return?"

"Who is yours…"

Nanako hummed softly.

The door was quickly opened.

Rin appeared behind the door, and said in a sharp voice:

"Nii-chan, and Nanako Onee-san, you come."

"Rin-chan, good afternoon."

Nanako hurriedly smiled.

"Let's talk at home."

Naoki pulled Nanako to the entrance, squatted down and took out two pairs of sandals from the shoe cupboard, one for himself and one in front of Nanako.

Right after changing the sandals, Mrs. Sakura came over with a gentle smile and said:

"This is Nanako-chan that Naoki told me about this morning. I'm Naoki's mother."

"Hello Aunt. I'm Chiba Nanako. This is our first time meeting. Please give me your suggestions."

Nanako's heart beat faster, and she hastily bowed in salute.

This was the first time in her life meeting Naoki's parents, and it was a dark day, so she couldn't calm down at all.

"Don't be nervous," Mrs. Sakura said with a smile, "Naoki told me about you this morning, and from now on you will treat it as your own home."

"Thank you, Aunt."

Nanako hurriedly thanked her. If the students at school saw her, they would definitely lose their eyes.

When had Anego who dominated the campus become so gentle and restrained?

Several people quickly sat down on the couch.

"Nanako Onee-san, have some snacks." Rin handed over Daifuku's red bean.

"Thank you Rin-chan."

Naoki took an orange, peeled it slowly, and handed the orange to Nanako: "Open your mouth."

Nanako raised her eyebrows, "I'll eat it myself."

Asking to feed oranges in front of your auntie, she will be regarded as an undisciplined hypocritical girl by auntie!

"I am very tired." Naoki leaned back on the sofa "It would be nice if someone peeled an apple for me."

"If you want to eat, do it yourself."

Nanako stretched out her right hand, picked up an apple, and began peeling it.

Mrs. Sakura watched silently, and sighed tiredly.

While cleaning in the morning, Naoki goes home to help, and suddenly says that he will bring a girl back to celebrate New Years in the evening. Mrs. Sakura thought it was Fumino or Miku. When she heard the other girl's name from Naoki's mouth, she almost rushed into the kitchen and killed her son with a knife.

She is 100% satisfied with Fumino, she likes her in every way, and even thinks it's okay for the two of them to get married after graduating high school.

As a result, some time ago, Naoki brought Miku home, the point is that Miku and Fumino seem to know each other's whereabouts...

Just when Mrs. Sakura thinks her son is a bastard, she sees Naoki dating Miku's sister with her own eyes.

Today, Naoki brought another girl home, and she heard from Rin that Miku, Fumino, and Nanako in front of her not only knew each other at school, but were also classmates in the same class.

How dare Naoki go out with so many girls and bring them home in such an open and honest way!

Mrs. Sakura had even seen the end of it.

Such an over-the-top guy wasn't mistreated at all when he got hacked by a girl one night!

It was night in the blink of an eye.

Rin's dad comes back from outside, talks to Naoki and Nanako for a bit, then it's time for dinner.

They weren't eating bento for dinner, but a special dish prepared by Mrs. Sakura.

They helped bring food to the table, then sat around the table.

On TV, the Red and White Song Concert has started.

Outside the window rang the temple bells.

There were no firecrackers and fireworks, but the new year had officially arrived with the same lively atmosphere.

Mrs. Sakura raised her wine glass and said with a smile:

"Happy New Year Everyone."

Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol, Naoki pours fruit juice for Rin and Nanako and toasts in celebration.

Nanako lightly bit her lower lip, only feeling something warm surge in her chest, took the juice, and said softly:

"Happy New Year."
