Ichika’s Counterattack

Itsuki held her head and curled up in Yotsuba's embrace, her body trembling slightly, and she kept muttering words like "This is so scary, it's not Ichika...".

Yotsuba muttered with prolonged fear, "Ichika's acting ability is getting scarier... It's like a different person, and I almost had to use 'that move'. It's truly dangerous."

"What's your reaction..." Ichika smiled bitterly, feeling a bit weak in the knees.

Only after she stopped acting did she realize that at certain points during the performance, she appeared before herself with great momentum.

Fortunately, she showed no intention of attacking; otherwise, it's hard to say what would have happened...

Although at that moment, she didn't have the means to fight Yotsuba.

Ichika sighed.

Since experiencing the magical yet cruel Revue Selection at Seisho Academy, she had understood that the world wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Moreover, the winner of certain Revues even caused the world to reincarnate multiple times within a certain period, constantly performing 'replays' that only she knew.

Ichika shifted her attention to the other two, wanting to ask for their opinion.

"Nino, Miku... Hm?"

Seeing black gas emanating around them, Ichika sensed something was amiss for no reason.

"This expression... You really don't need to worry."

A strong cold light reflected in Nino's eyes.

"The truth, the truth, the truth, the truth, the truth—"

Miku puffed up her cheeks and muttered someone's name like a curse.

Feeling strong pressure coming from the other side, Ichika took a step back and laughed flatly.

"Um, what's going on with you two?"

Nino suddenly sneered at her.

"Do you still think we don't know? You just did it with Shi-kun not long ago, didn't you?"

"What?!"

Yotsuba and Itsuki were surprised and stared at Ichika in wonder.

Ichika was stunned, but involuntarily touched her cheek and said cheerfully, "Huh? Really?"

As soon as she finished answering, she realized something was wrong.

All the sisters looked at her strangely, as if they were seeing a sly cat walking down the street with a fish in its mouth.

Ichika shrunk her neck and showed a flattering posture contrary to that of an older sister.

"Alright, everyone, listen to me..."

"There's nothing to be said. The last time Nino came home, she had this expression," said Miku coldly and swayed from the sofa like a ghost.

"The Tribunal of the Quints... How many times has it been opened this month?"

"That guy..." Itsuki fell silent and rubbed her forehead; she had a headache and didn't know what to say.

Why did she fall in love with a lustful and immoral man... reluctantly, she wondered again.

As for Yotsuba, Nino had sent her to quietly approach Ichika, then raised her hand from behind her, leaving her with no place to escape.

"Wait, wait, we didn't succeed in reaching the final step... Yes, we're all pure!" Ichika became anxious, and unconsciously she spoke to calm herself.

Nino showed a contemptuous smile, folded her fingers, and slowly approached.

"In other words, have you done everything except the final step? Yes, yes, this is getting more intriguing..."

"Did you and Miku fight him to the end?"

Nino reflexively answered, "No, that guy insisted... ugh!"

She raised her hand to cover her mouth, but the words she uttered were like sprayed water and couldn't be sucked back.

Avoiding her gaze, Nino met another gaze, especially when seeing Yotsuba and Itsuki's surprised expressions, she shrugged her shoulders, with guilt in her eyes.

As for Miku, she had already sat back on the sofa, stroking her hair, with an expression like "What you're talking about has nothing to do with me."

The scene fell silent for a few seconds. Ichika easily freed herself from Yotsuba's uncontrollable embrace. The anxiety on her face had long subsided, and she appeared calm.

The right acting skills brought the right results.

She reached out to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear, tilted her head, and gazed at the group of younger sisters with a gentle smile typical of an older sister.

"Well then, let's have a nice chat~"

Shinichi was sitting in front of the computer, but he wasn't interested in working.

For some reason, what happened this evening often crossed his mind. Even if he could control himself to enter wise mode, he felt uncomfortable for no reason.

Because his work efficiency was not good, he temporarily released his hands from the keyboard and went to the fridge to grab a bottle of Coca-Cola.

After a few sips, the cold bubbles exploded in his mouth, showing a refreshing look.

"Drinking soda in winter will make life happier!"

After relaxing a bit, Shinichi licked his lips, remembering the taste just now, and sank into indescribable contemplation.

"Although they are quintuplets, their touches and reactions are different..."

Miku didn't exercise often, so her body was as soft as marshmallow, but too plump. She wasn't good at taking the initiative, but she was gentle on the outside yet strong on the inside like her character, with remarkable endurance.

Even if he didn't do anything else, Shinichi knew how she would respond.

Nino's skin was relatively firm, and she surely took care of it well. She wasn't good at taking the initiative, but she always pushed herself to win for the sake of breathing, and it didn't take long before she got tired and out of breath. Sometimes, she would act flirtatiously unexpectedly, and seeing the helpless expression on her face would make him very happy.

Ichika was much more mature, both in appearance and personality. She seemed to want to show her dignity as an older sister, taking the initiative to attack even though she wasn't skilled, controlling everything, but accidentally revealing herself. The contrast between the embarrassed girl and the dignified woman was amusing.

As for the other two, they hadn't reached that point. They were at the third base, and Shinichi had already moved to the fourth base so he couldn't give any specific thoughts.

But considering Yotsuba's physical abilities and her spirit when kissing... Shinichi knew that her current physical strength was not enough.

If he couldn't deal with one person, what qualifications did he have to deal with five people, or even more?

He drank all the coke in one breath.

"Alright! Finish work early today and wake up early tomorrow to practice!"
