Coming Home

After about an hour, Shinichi solved all the problems that Nino and Itsuki had at Forest School, and after making sure there was still time, he taught Itsuki how to study.

　　Seeing this, Miku also wanted to get involved, but unfortunately the subject Shinichi helped tutor Itsuki was science, and the strong subject was society, and the one Shinichi taught English. Miku couldn't keep up with English lessons and fell asleep in the middle of listening, so she could only retreat to a corner of the couch to sleep.

　　She and Ichika had a secret conversation last night, and barely slept much, it had been so good staying awake until now.

　　Oddly enough, Ichika stayed up all night just like her, but she was usually sleep deprived, more energetic than her. She sat happily on the sofa next to Shinichi, drinking coffee and reading.

　　Sometimes in the middle of Shinichi's lecture, Ichika interrupts, and seriously asks him about her acting skills.

　　Shinichi naturally refused the request to play, but because he had promised to provide his acting notes, he still forgot to give her a taste of the debt after the auditions were over. He could only suspend teaching from time to time to answer them carefully, which made the smile on Ichika's face even brighter.

　　Itsuki glanced at the two of them, hesitating to say anything, but because of the topic of acting skills they were talking about, she was so flustered she couldn't get involved at all. In the end, she could only lower her head reluctantly and continued writing notes,

　　Just like a transparent person, neither of them looked at her until Shinichi finished answering Ichika.

　　It was difficult for Itsuki to say anything.

　　She agreed with Ichika's positive attitude at work, and heard her confess that Shinichi cheered her up when she was an actress in the morning, so of course she didn't have an opinion on that now.

　　She is also able to understand Shinichi's flustered behavior putting her aside and talking to Ichika regardless of his teachings halfway. After all, he is a serious and responsible person. Once someone asked him for advice, It was understandable.

　　And his target is still her sister, if Itsuki cares too much now, it will only give her a narrow-minded negative impression, and lower Shinichi's judgment in his heart for no reason.

　　Itsuki as Shinichi's assistant, still has to be tolerant.

　　But Itsuki didn't know why, but somehow she felt unhappy… She was so serious in asking Shinichi for advice, couldn't he be single-minded in what he did? Ichika is the same, that question isn't one that should be asked now...

　　(Ahh, I really want to eat meat buns to kill my boredom.)

　　While the two of them were concentrating on discussing acting skills, Itsuki was writing on the table with a depressed face.

　　As for Nino, now go to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

　　She asks Shinichi if he wants to stay and eat. It seemed she had learned some new dishes, and she could let him try them. Of course, if he wanted to eat or not, he could leave as he pleased, and she didn't have to keep him here.

　　Nino said such words, o with threatening eyes, and her dishonest character was exposed.

　　In this regard, Shinichi shook his head helplessly, and then resolutely refused.

　　Just over an hour he had breakfast, and his stomach contents have not been digested, now he has no appetite at all.

　　He was leaving around 12 noon, and he had already checked which train to take back. There's no good reason, and Shinichi is too lazy to change travel plans.

　　And after giving such an answer, Nino didn't get angry, but just waved her hand and walked into the kitchen.

　　The sound of a knife being sliced loudly against a chopping board was loud, almost on purpose for Shinichi to hear.

Shinichi saw that his time was running out, he hastily left the Nakano house, when someone becomes emotionally unstable later, and the kitchen knife flies.

　　Miku was still sleeping, and Nino in the kitchen seemed to be in a bad mood, and Shinichi said goodbye to Ichika and Itsuki, and after declining their offer to see him off, he walked towards the door.

　　At this time, Yotsuba had just emerged from the stairs, saw that Shinichi's hand was already on the doorknob, she rushed forward and stuffed a bag of things into his hand.

　　"Asada-san, this bag of dried fruit is for you!"

Shinichi was stunned.

　　"Why are you giving me dried fruit?"

　　"It doesn't matter. When I was just writing the exercises, it suddenly occurred to me that Asada-san has sleep anemia?"

　　After Yotsuba spoke, Shinichi faintly heard Ichika's laughter.

　　"So I checked on the Internet what to eat for anemia. It is said that the gallbladder and liver are the best, but I only have this bag of dried fruit… So, I will give it to you!"

　　When Shinichi was annoyed, Yotsuba stood on her tiptoes and tapped him on the shoulder.

　　"Asada-san, after eating this bag of dried fruit, you should take care of your body. If you can't make it to work out tomorrow, let me know. The most important thing is to be healthy, don't push yourself!"

　　Yotsuba looked worriedly at Shinichi and revealed a strong smile.

　　This is her unique boost method.

　　It's just that Shinichi doesn't need encouragement at all now, anemia is just an excuse, and under the training of Yotsuba, his body is stronger than before.

　　But after thinking about it, he still decided not to explain, let her encourage him, and smiled gently.

　　"Then thanks in advance, but I'll still be working out tomorrow, you don't need to worry..." Shinichi put the dried fruit into the bag, and muttered.

　　"By the way, it just so happened that yesterday was your birthday, and I don't think I gave you a birthday present yet…"

　　Shinichi's voice was low, but Yotsuba heard it clearly, and waved her hand.

　　"No gifts needed! Yesterday's fireworks made a great birthday present! Really, I haven't received such a happy birthday present since I was a child!"

　　"Is it true? It doesn't matter."

　　Shinichi didn't even think about it, and nodded.

Yotsuba's expression froze, although she didn't want Shinichi to give her a gift, but seeing how he agreed so quickly, there was an inexplicable bad feeling that she had just spoken casually.

　　Taking advantage of this time, Shinichi asked her: "Yotsuba, do you have any gift you want?"

　　"No." Yotsuba answered reflexively, then recovered from her daze, quickly covered her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at Shinichi angrily.

　　"Dangerous, Asada-san is too dangerous! You even tried to trick me!"

　　"Yes, it's a shame to fail." Shinichi shrugged without embarrassment, and turned to face the door.

　　"Well, since you've said that, then I really will take yesterday's fireworks as your birthday present, and you won't refill them in the future, okay?"

　　Just as Yotsuba was about to nod, she hesitated.

　　"It's fine if I don't need it… But if Asada-san really wants to give it, Ichika and the others."

　　The atmosphere plummeted.

　　"I will be back."

　　Before Yotsuba could finish speaking, Shinichi opened the door and walked out.

　　"If I remember correctly, the Nakano family's quintuplets live here, not the Nakano quadruplets, right? If you want to send them off, how come there are only Yotsuba?"

　　Shinichi expressed the discomfort in his heart, and secretly added a sentence.

　　(If you really want to say it, you're still the first person I should thank... Give me more consideration of your own business, you idiot.)

　　The conversation behind the two was a little quieter, Itsuki and Ichika on the couch didn't hear clearly, they only knew that after Shinichi left, Yotsuba stood in front of the entrance in a daze for a long time.

　　When they called out to the Yotsuba, she turned around, and smiled bitterly.

　　"Ahaha, I was taught a lesson by Asada-san..."
