Naughty Girl

　　Turn back time a little.

　　If the rules permitted, the Nakano quintuplets would naturally form a group of five in group play. With tacit understanding from childhood to adulthood and their respective skills, no matter what kind of opponents and challenges they face, they are definitely invincible.

　　So, ever since this link was severed, Itsuki was confident that the five of them would win the final championship. In this case, the reward is of course something they're passionate about and within budget...

　　In other words, she had decided on a 10,000 yen meal voucher for the cafeteria!

　　"Ahahaha, Itsuki looks full of energy, really looks like Asada-san!"

　　Seeing Itsuki's eyes that looked fiery but pretended to be calm and collected on the surface, Yotsuba smiled.

　　"After all, she's his secretary."

　　Miku answered casually, looking around the crowd and looking for something.

　　Seeing this, Ichika hugged her neck, and teased in an ambiguous tone.

　　"What is missing? Do you want Onee-san to help you find him~"

　　Miku spoke expressionlessly.

　　"Ask consciously... There is still Ichika, I want to ask you one thing."

　　"Just ask! I know everything…"

　　That calm and serene demeanor was shaken violently when she saw Miku who seemed to be emitting a cold light.

　　"Forget the answer just yet, I..."

　　Slightly trembling in her heart, Ichika felt a certain premonition of danger prompting her to let go of Miku's neck, and planned to retreat.

　　Miku grabbed her sleeve first, preventing her from moving.

　　"Last night, I smelled you from Shinichi... Can you tell me what you did to him?"

　　Ichika avoided her glare.

　　(Miku, ever since she could talk in front of everyone, I've really grown up... I always felt that her personality got a bit tougher, and she even knows how to catch adulterers!)

　　(So, do I want to tell her? I hugged Shinichi-kun by force last night, and confessed to him about it...)

　　"I..."

　　As soon as the voice came out, Ichika had a sudden inspiration. Her guilt was completely gone, and she responded to her gaze with a playful expression.

　　"Don't mention what I did… Miku, how did you know he smelled like me?"

　　She tried to see through her thoughts, Ichika stared at her.

　　"Could it be that… After the bonfire party, you secretly went to find Shinichi-kun and made intimate contact with him, and only then did you smell the scent I left him, right?"

　　She shook her head and sighed.

　　"A late night private meeting with a boy… Miku, when did you become such a naughty girl? Onee-san is so sad…"

　　The ambiguous words with meaning made Miku blush, but she didn't back down.

　　"Ichika, you haven't answered my question. Why did you leave a stink on him?"

　　"You said it first~ I'll say what you said, after all, we're in the same boat~"

　　It didn't take long before they were laughing together.

　　Ichika smiled and said: "I was one step ahead of you, I'm sorry."

　　Miku shook her head: "No, everything is a first for me, it doesn't matter if I let you..."

　　"Then… How much more?"

　　"No."

　　Miku looked at her seriously.

　　"Because it's an important family member, so I won't give it away."

　　Ichika smiled in relief.

Yotsuba witnessed the incredible interaction of the two people, and couldn't help but laugh.

　　Miku turned and looked at her.

　　"Yotsuba, why were you wearing Shinichi's jacket yesterday?"

Yotsuba: "?"

　　(Why am I being attacked instead?! Stop, don't shoot, I'm friendly)

　　Under Ichika's watchful interest, Yotsuba hurried to explain in a panic.

　　On the other hand, Itsuki looked at Nino who was crouching beside her.

　　"Nino, what makes you so happy?"

　　Nina, who had been holding her rosy cheeks from the start, gave an intoxicating smile. Coming back to her senses, she let out a laugh with an inexplicable smile.

　　"It's nothing, you don't need to know~"

　　Thinking of last night's scene when Itsuki raised her head to look for bread in the sky and turned around to secretly kiss Shinichi, Nino's heart was agitated with excitement, the sensation of having an affair.

　　Too bad Shinichi was already wary of her. If she wasn't driven impulsively, she wouldn't be able to do something so bold. It would be difficult to reproduce that scene in the future...

　　Unless Shinichi can take the initiative to accept her feelings, or else the urge appears again.

　　If there was such an opportunity, how about secretly kissing him on the cheek in front of Miku while she was lowering her head?

　　The kid likes to keep her head down the most, and can attack the moment she looks at the ground...

　　It's so fun and bad!

　　(No, no, no, I have to be virtuous, I can't be as evil as Ichika, it will be even worse if Miku finds out, it will ruin the relationship between the sisters… That's right, I have to use some gentle tricks!)

　　(Just like the confession this morning, hehehe...)

　　After thinking about it, Nino fell into the pink bubble fantasy again, her humming and laughing appearance was very strange.

Itsuki took a notebook out of her bag, and wrote a few lines on it.

　　"It took three years to rebuild the old one, and seems to have created good competition. What are they fighting for? I didn't hear it clearly, and I will understand it in the future."

　　"Yotsuba was followed by Miku because she was wearing Asada-kun's jacket... When did that happen?"

　　"Nino has become like a nymphomaniac, a bit scary... Does she have someone she likes?"

　　She was confused.

　　The five of them chatted in such a chaotic yet extremely harmonious manner for a while, when it was announced on stage that it was time to draw opponents, Ichika got up and left.

　　Not long after, she returned with somewhat shocking news.

　　"Our first opponent will be the team led by Fumino."
