Breakfast

After the incident, Yotsuba and Ao continue their business after he carries Nino back to her room.

However, they can't do it even once since they are almost caught by Itsuki.

They were about to do it in the kitchen to feel more thrill and indeed she feel too much thrill that she decided not to continue it.

After all, she doesn't want to cause another incident like in Nino's case.

Though she is carefree on the surface, deep down, she isn't.

In the past, not only she is very athletic but she is also very studious among her peers, including her sisters.

You could say that she could become a perfect student in front of the school, however, when her sisters couldn't keep up with her achievements and add their mother's death, she decided not to seriously study so that she could fit in with them.

As quintuplets, this is normal. Having the same in every aspect… but this is something she believed a long time ago.

Right now, she is full of guilt because she remembered that she didn't side with Nino when she needed her help but when Ao kissed her before she go back to her room, that guilt immediately disappear.

Still, it will become troubling if he did not listen to her suggestions so he leaves her to be but it doesn't mean that he wouldn't wake the others, right?

"Good morning!"

"Good mor…ning!"

Ao, greet Itsuki while she replies yawning half-sleep.

"Here…"

"Thank you…"

He serves her breakfast.

"It seems that they still not awake…"

Obviously, he is the reason.

"… Ah… oh…"

She heard him but didn't react until 10 seconds later.

!

She look around and saw that only she and Ao are there at the dining table.

It looks like this made her wake up completely but she didn't know what to do.

This might not be the first time she has been alone with him but unlike before, she is now conscious of her feelings for him.

Her heart beats faster while her ears are secretly turning red.

She thought of many things to talk about since this is her chance to get close to him, however, ever since young, they attended an all-girls school so this is her first time to closely interact with a boy.

If it's a group interaction then she could talk normally in both genders but alone with a boy… no, she couldn't, however, unlike befriending a boy, this guy is someone she likes or… loves, but right now that's not the case, so if she couldn't pass her fear then she could become a hopeless romantic.

This made her feel more hopeless.

On the other hand, Ao looks at her eating silently while her facial expression is changing in seconds.

He enjoys watching it but she knows that she's the kind of person who is always uncertain about her choices so he needs to give her a certain path to make her depend on him.

•Sometimes a logical choice can be poison to any means.•

~probably some random guy who becomes a pickle.

Ao blew her ears and that made her startled. Then his next words made her mind like a computer that crashed.

"Can you be my girlfriend?"

"…"

1… 2… 3…

"Eh?…" 'EH???'
