Akira's Deliberate Behavior

After a moment of silence, the person who first responded was Yotsuba.

"Wh-wh-wh-what do you say?!"

She couldn't believe what she heard.

"Should I repeat? Have Yotsuba-Nee and Uesugi Fuutarou been—"

"Stop! Alright, don't say it anymore."

Yotsuba moved quickly, her hand covering Akira's, and her face as red as an apple.

"Cough... Akira-chan, isn't that a bit... Excessive?"

Ichika smiled stiffly, unable to dignity her older sister.

Releasing Yotsuba's palm that was covering his lips, Akira said calmly: "Puah... Did I say something strange? You all look strange. Isn't it normal for couples to have sex?"

Seeing how easily Akira said the word 'sex', Ichika and the others blushed.

"That's an unhealthy relationship!"

Itsuki denied it with a face so red it reached her ears.

"Itsuki is right. That should only be done after marriage."

Miku answered while covering her embarrassment with her bangs.

"Are you a woman of feudal times? At least do that after entering university."

Nino fanned her hot face.

"I didn't mind doing that when we were still high school students. Unfortunately, I was not the chosen one."

Even though Ichika looked calm, if looked closely, the tips of her ears looked red.

"Don't Ichika-Nee, Nino-Nee, Miku-Nee, and Itsuki want to know the answer? Maybe Yotsuba-Nee has done it you know~."

Akira's words aroused their interest. Instantly, everyone directed their gazes at Yotsuba.

"!!!"

Yotsuba's body shivered and the green ribbon on her head hung limply.

"So, Yotsuba-Nee, have you done it or not?" Akira asked lightly.

"…"

Yotsuba lowered her head without answering, but the blush on her cheeks, and her silent reaction were the best answer.

"You have done it?! Your relationship hasn't even been a month, and you're already having sex? I think you are the most innocent among the five of us. It turns out you.. You..."

It was difficult for Nino to believe this truth.

"Miku!"

Itsuki supported Miku who almost fell backwards. This news was too heavy for a weak girl like her.

"Sigh. I knew Yotsuba and Fuutarou-kun would do it sooner or later. But, isn't this too fast?"

Holding her forehead, Ichika shook her head.

"I'm sorry..."

Yotsuba didn't give a reason, and just apologized with her head bowed.

The previously lively atmosphere of the Halloween party was ruined by Akira's one deadly question.

"Don't blame Yotsuba-Nee. It must be that guy who took the initiative, right?" Akira asked but there was no doubt in that statement.

"Um." Yotsuba nodded slowly, not daring to look at anyone else.

Even though they were all family, it was too embarrassing to discuss this.

"Hmph, after having a girlfriend, Fuu-kun changed from a herbivore to a carnivore quickly." Nino snorted in annoyance.

She has accepted her defeat. It's just that, knowing that her sister had had sex with the man she liked, there was no way Nino wouldn't feel anything.

Ichika and Miku also felt discomfort in their hearts.

Only Itsuki seemed unfazed, aside from feeling embarrassed to talk about such an embarrassing topic.

"Let's continue the game."

She tidied the cards on the table and gave it to Akira.

No one refused to continue the game. After seeing Akira's way of using punishment on losers, Ichika, Nino, and Miku want to do the same.

There were several questions they wanted to ask Yotsuba.

If they used normal methods, they were sure she would refuse to tell. Taking advantage of Yotsuba's honest personality, she can't help but obey the punishment if she loses.

Therefore, Ichika, Nino, and Miku use the tacit understanding they have honed over the years to form an alliance to defeat Yotsuba.

"The rules are the same as before." Akira said after finishing distributing the cards.

The 2nd round lasted 10 minutes, and Akira was again the winner, and the loser was Yotsuba.

"Ahem. Since this question was a bit sensitive, Yotsuba didn't need to answer it directly. If yes, nod your head, and if no, shake your head."

"Can Akira ask a normal question?" Yotsuba looked up with pleading in her eyes.

Ignoring her request, Akira's next question surprised everyone.

"Did Yotsuba-Nee use a condom during sex?"

The atmosphere returned to silence. Even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly in the room.

All eyes were on Yotsuba, waiting for her answer.

Under public pressure, Yotsuba hesitated. After a while, she nodded, then shook her head.

"Yes and no. Are you messing around Yotsuba?" Nino frowned.

"Could it be... At first they used condoms, then they stopped using them?" Ichika asked, finding it hard to believe her own speculation.

Like before, Yotsuba didn't dare answer. She lowered her head looking at the clean floor.

"Yotsuba! What do you really think? It's still acceptable that you've done that to it since we and Fuu-kun have known each other for a long time. But doing that without a condom, what if you get pregnant? Are you stupid!"

Nino stepped forward, holding Yotsuba's shoulders tightly, and looked into her eyes angrily.

"Sorry... My heart couldn't bear it after Uesugi-san begged with a pitiful expression."

"The college entrance exam is a few months away. If Yotsuba is pregnant..."

Just thinking about this, Itsuki felt a headache. She was worried that if their father found out about this, who knows what would happen to Fuutarou.

"If Akira-chan didn't ask this, we would never know. The pure Yotsuba no longer exists." Ichika looked at Yotsuba in disappointment while sighing.

"Stop cornering Yotsuba. Since this was her choice, then if something happens, Fuutarou will have to take responsibility. I'm sure he's not 'that guy' type of guy."

Miku still trusts Fuutarou's integrity, even though it has plummeted to rock bottom after this incident.

As for the man she alluded to, that was their biological father.

"If Fuu-kun... No, Uesugi asks you to have sex again, just refuse. Understand?"

Nino doesn't want Yotsuba to get pregnant while she's still in high school.

"But—"

"Yotsuba, listen to what Nino says. This is for your own good."

Ichika didn't let Yotsuba argue.

"I understand." Yotsuba nodded helplessly. After that, she stood up and said weakly: "I'm a little tired, I want to rest first."

Without waiting for their answer, she climbed the stairs and entered her room.

"Aren't we being too harsh on her?" Itsuki was worried.

"Yotsuba is too kind. If we don't warn her, she might be lured by Uesugi's advances and do it without any safeguards."

Crossing her arms over her chest, Nino looked at Yotsuba's room with a complicated expression.

So far, her teasing has been ineffective as if Fuutarou was a senior monk.

It's only been a few weeks since Yotsuba and Fuutarou became lovers, both of them have stepped into adulthood.

Nino begins to doubt her charm.

Raising her hand, Itsuki asked: "Still want to play?"

"I stopped."

Miku shook her head and went to her room.

"The atmosphere is no longer suitable for playing. Let's stop here." Ichika said with a forced smile.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked such a question." Akira apologized.

"You don't need to apologize, Akira. This is not your fault. If the two have a healthy relationship, your question is just a perverted joke."

Feeling mentally exhausted, Nino returned to her room to calm down.

Then Ichika and Itsuki also went to the room.

"This is indeed a bad method. At least, their feelings for the protagonist have reduced a lot." Akira muttered quietly.

He did it on purpose.

Akira wants them to move on, and forget their broken hearts.
