"I guess Asakawa-kun wants to watch manga together… eh?"
Before she could finish speaking, Naoki suddenly took a half step forward, stretched out his right hand, and wrapped it around the girl's soft and slender waist.
Ichika's eyes widened in amazement, she supported Naoki's chest with both hands, and her face quickly turned red, "A-Asakawa-kun?"
Naoki looked down and said, "You guessed wrong."
Seeing Naoki slowly approaching, Ichika's heartbeat suddenly quickened, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she closed her eyes.
Immediately after, she felt his body lighten up, and she was carried into the air by someone, after twisting a bit, she was lowered again.
Ichika opened one eye in confusion, and saw Naoki take a half step back and let go.
"Don't lean against the wall." Naoki stepped into the entrance "There's a lot of dust floating on the walls that will stain your clothes."
For cleanliness enthusiasts, the wall must choose a clean place, not just any wall, otherwise you will get dirty clothes or hands, which is very unclean!
Ichika puffed up her cheeks slightly and walked into the apartment with a flushed face.
Excessive sudden attacks.
Ichika changed into her slippers and walked into the living room: "Asakawa-kun is playing a game?"
"That's right." Naoki sat in front of the TV, took out the joystick, and saved the game data, "There's ice cream in the fridge, take it yourself."
"As a guest, please take responsibility for entertaining me."
"You are not a guest."
"Am I not a guest?"
"Suddenly came to the door to send a frightened troubled girl."
"This is definitely a surprise."
Ichika walked to the fridge, took a box of matcha flavored ice cream, returned to Naoki's side and sat down.
Naoki had turned off the game and held the remote control to change the TV program.
Miku doesn't matter, she can watch it happily, Ichika is not interested in the game, as a guest, Naoki can't leave her alone.
"Asakawa-kun, bring the manga here." Ichika took a sip of ice cream and said faintly, "The manga book I just bought at the convenience store downstairs happened to be read together."
Naoki picked up Weekly Shonen Jump, "What to read?"
"Okay, let's read Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?"
"…It feels heavy."
"Obviously this is a very interesting level to fight monsters, and the little spider is also very cute."
"I just found out that the two timelines were inconsistent in the last edition. When Kumoko became a spider, the heroes were just reincarnated into babies. When the heroes grow up, the little ones will become…"
"No spoilers allowed."
Naoki raised his hand and poked Ichika's cheek.
The two sat on the sofa and read the latest comics along with TV variety shows as background music.
"Asakawa-kun, open your mouth."
A sweet and beautiful voice sounded in the ear.
Naoki opened his mouth.
A scoop of ice cream is handed over, the ice is cold, and the sweet aroma of matcha and cream blooms on the tip of the tongue.
"My shoulder hurts~" After eating the ice cream, Ichika clenched her fist with her right hand, lightly patted her shoulder, and looked up with pitiful eyes, "Asakawa-kun help me massage, I've walked a long way today, it was really hard. "
"Asakawa-kun, guess what I did when I went out today, there's a reward for the right guess."
Naoki walked behind Ichika and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words: "…Going to see Uncle Beard?"
"Eh?" Ichika looked surprised, "Asakawa-kun following me?"
Naoki expressionless: "The weather is very hot, I chose the air conditioner."
Ichika was curious: "Then how did Asakawa-kun guess where I was going?"
Naoki said, "This is not speculation, it is reasoning."
Ichika nodded slightly: "All ears are listening."
"If you go with Miku and the others, you definitely won't come alone… That means you go alone."
"It's fine to go alone." Ichika nodded lightly, "But I also have other friends at school."
Naoki said quickly, "Those shoes betrayed you."
"Hah?" Ichika looked down, "What happened to those shoes?"
"You are wearing sneakers today which are very hot in the summer. You usually wear sandals when you go out, like going to the movies a few days ago." Naoki paused for a moment, analyzing and reasoning, "And the choice of makeup and clothes, both are more formal than usual."
"You just came to knock on the door at 6.30pm, there's no way friends can play this late."
Ichika replies: "Maybe I'm too happy to lose track of time?"
"I just saw the breadcrumbs in the shopping bag." Naoki said calmly, "It's impossible to eat bread alone when friends go out."
Ichika said admiringly: "That famous detective is you."
The famous detective wasn't interested at all. Now that electronic monitoring is so developed, 99% of cases can be captured by computers. Reasoning and case solving are outdated!
"Everything is alright." Ichika stretched out her finger and lightly tapped her lips, "What kind of gift does Asakawa-kun want?"
"I don't want anything." Naoki folded his arms "You can go home now."
"Not." Ichika turned to look, her eyes pitiful, "Don't stop, just massage for a bit."
After massaging his shoulders, it was already 7:30 pm.
Ichika's face turned red, and she lay on the sofa, looking sideways at the TV, "Uncle Beard called me, said that there was an advertising campaign, and asked if I wanted to agree..."
Japanese stars and entertainers generally shoot commercials, and TV stations even create special lists to count the artists who shoot the most commercials in a given time period.
"Asakawa-kun, should I agree or not?"
Naoki took a sip of his tea: "You can decide this kind of thing yourself."
Ichika turned around and sat down and said, "But Uncle Beard said... Maybe there's a kiss scene in it."
Naoki's right hand that was holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the tea in the cup spun around.
If you want to be a good actor, this kind of thing is understandable. People who rely on stand-ins and cutouts for everything are not actors at all.
But... He still cares a lot.
When Naoki thinks of Ichika kissing someone else, he feels very unhappy and 100% unwilling.
Ichika said softly, "Asakawa-kun won't?"
Naoki was silent for a moment, closed his eyes and exhaled, and finally spoke the truth: "…I don't want to."
Smiling and sending blessings, and even cheering on the back, Naoki couldn't understand what such a person was thinking at all.
Right now, Naoki just wanted to answer according to his own heart.
The next moment.
Ichika reached out and wrapped her arms around Naoki's neck, with a lingering warm and sweet scent: "Idiot, all those shots were taken on the spot."
"And the image that Uncle Beard has placed for me is that of an idol and an artist. As we all know, idols don't have close contact with other people!"
Naoki put down the teacup and complained, "I just know that idol girls don't need to go to the bathroom."
"I'm really sorry I couldn't do it." Ichika approached, her blue eyes bright and gentle in the light, "But this kind of thing always requires experience, maybe I will meet a very strict director in the future."
Ichika raised her head slightly: "Asakawa-kun... Let's practice a little?"
The sound of the phone vibrating suddenly broke the silence of the apartment.
Ichika opened her eyes.
"Here's your cell phone." Naoki gestured, "It's not me."
"It is outrageous to disturb others at this time." Ichika wiped the corners of her lips and took out her phone, "Next time, I have to turn off the phone… eh?"
Ichika raised her eyes, and made a slow motion: "This is a call from Nino."
Won't be back too late, it's normal for Nino to call.
"Ichika, where are you?" Nino's voice came from the phone, "Why don't you come home this late?"
Ichika made a random excuse, "I was late playing with my friends and accidentally lost track of time."
"Who would believe!" Nino guessed the truth, "Are you in that stupid Asakawa apartment?"
Ichika: "I don't, don't talk nonsense."
The next moment.
The phone rang suddenly.
Naoki picked up the phone, and it was Yotsuba who made the call.
"You said he wasn't there, I heard his cell phone." Nino hummed softly, "As expected, Asakawa is beside you!"
Seeing the matter unfold, Ichika chose to continue fighting, and said with a serious expression: "Actually I was looking for information."
"Hah?" Yotsuba's curious voice sounded on the other end of the line, "What information?"
"Askawa-kun said that Furuhashi-san has left, we don't believe what Asakawa-kun said, of course we have to see for ourselves." Ichika said without changing her expression, "Now that it's confirmed, Furuhashi-san has indeed left, you can rest assured."
Nino didn't like it and hummed: "That has nothing to do with us... He can live with whoever he wants."
"It's an overnight stay." Naoki corrected, "It's not living together."
Nino : "Ha, are you too shameless to speak?"
Naoki: "As a tutor, I naturally have an obligation to correct your misspellings."
"Pah!"
"Okay, this is the end of the chat." Ichika lifted her chin, "You don't have to worry, I'll come back later."
Hanging up the phone.
...
At the Nakano Family's house
Nino folded his arms in front of his chest, folded his right leg on the sitting leg, and the black butterfly hair ornament on his temple trembled slightly, she complained:
"She was the first to raise his hand in the morning, promised to ignore Asakawa in the future, but she ran into the apartment at night, Ichika's character is getting worse!"
"It doesn't matter." Yotsuba stroked her hair "Didn't Ichika say to see if Furuhashi-san is still staying? She'll be back later."
Nino looked at Yotsuba: "Do you think Ichika will really come back?"
"Hah?" The ahoge's hair on top of Itsuki's head shook slightly, "Isn't Ichika coming back?"
Nino snorted softly: "You are willing to stay, especially Ichika."
"What?" Itsuki blushed and retorted, "I just want to see mom, and I'm not alone!"
"I'll change clothes."
Miku said suddenly.
Yotsuba was surprised: "Why did you change your clothes so late?"
It was already 7.30 pm, and the Quintuplets naturally took a bath, and they were all in their pajamas.
Miku puffed out her cheeks: "It's too dangerous just Ichika... I'll take a look."
Obviously the competition is fair, but it always slips away, and so does when watching movies.
Itsuki's eyes lit up and said:
"Me too, Dreamland Adventures is a lot of fun."
She wasn't worried about Ichika's safety, and she knew that Naoki wouldn't do much, instead, dream adventures were more interesting.
Itsuki had been wanting to try again for a long time, but she was always shy. Now that she had the opportunity, of course she didn't want to miss it.
Nino stood up and said, "If you all leave, it won't be fun for me to stay at home alone."
Only the Yotsuba hesitated, unable to make up his mind for a while.
"Yotsuba, don't be in a daze." Nino shouted, "Hurry and change your clothes."
"Come."
Yotsuba hastily got up and followed Nino upstairs.
....
In the apartment.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go back?" Naoki looked at Ich2 who was sitting lazily on the sofa, "You can go now."
"I've been walking a lot today, and my heels hurt." Ichika gently patted her thigh, "I plan to rest for the night before walking."
Naoki expressionless: "Your heels hurt, what are you doing knocking your thighs?"
"Of course I pay the rent." Ichika patted Naoki's thigh lightly, "If Asakawa-kun doesn't let me stay, I'll have to live on the streets. "
Naoki sighed and said, "I always feel very dangerous if you don't come back."
"Where is the danger?"
"With Nino's character, she hung up without saying a word of warning." Naoki complained, "Obviously planning to cause trouble?"
Ichika chuckled: "Asakawa-kun is getting to know us more and more."
"I don't want to know much about it at all."
...
The facts proved that Naoki's expectations were not wrong.
9 pm.
There was a bright and strong knock on the door.
"Asakawa-kun." Ichika said lazily, "Calculate the time, it should be Nino and the others, open the door."
Naoki got up and walked over, opened the door, and the four girls outside the door were neat, not a single one was missing.
"Asakawa-san, good night."
A fresh voice full of vitality sounded, it was Yotsuba, the four of them rushed over, and this time they did not change clothes.
Nino put his hand on his chest: "Where is Ichika?"
"I'm here." Ichika lay on the sofa and waved, "You guys are finally here, I'm tired of being alone."
Nino's eyes slightly twitched: "Didn't you say you wanted to go back?"
"That's right." Ichika's face didn't change, and the thickness of her face was definitely the strongest among the Five. "I'm watching TV, and I'll be back after watching the TV series."
Miku was the last person to walk into the entrance as usual.
"Sniff."
While passing by Naoki, Miku suddenly stopped, bent down and sniffed his nose:
"Reckless Asakawa, you smell like Ichika."
Naoki pretended to be surprised: "Ichika smells so strong?"
Miku stretched out a slender finger and stabbed it into Naoki's waist, "Guilty, Harakiri!"
