Mother-in-law meets son-in-law

　　After being picked up by Ebata, the Nakano family's quintuplets entered the cemetery and walked towards their mother's grave in a familiar manner.

　　"Hah? This..."

　　Seeing the bouquet of flowers on the grave platform, the five of them came forward to take a look.

　　"Still very fresh… I think you just bought it, right?" Ichika dipped her finger into the water droplets on the flower petals, and made a guess.

　　"Besides us, will anyone else come to worship mother?" Yotsuba was confused.

　　Miku spoke softly: "Could it be, father..."

　　"Impossible." Nino denied it, and said with dissatisfaction, "How can a man who always says he has to work have time to come here to send flowers?"

　　"Nino, don't talk about dad like that, maybe he just doesn't want us to know."

　　Itsuki shook her head, put down the flower basket in her hand, picked up the flowers on the grave, and was stunned.

　　Realizing something, she lowered her head to kiss the bouquet.

　　When the four of them were still wondering why she wanted to smell this floral fragrance, and she kissed the handle of the packaging, they saw Itsuki showing a happy smile.

　　"Asada-kun should have put it there? Although the smell is so weak that I can barely smell it, I will not admit this reassuring familiarity..."

　　Four people: "😐"

　　The cemetery fell silent, except for her brief conversation which still echoed.

　　"He said he was on his way, so he was lying? Even though he was already here. Really, can't this awkward personality be changed? Wouldn't it be nice to worship with us? This is the right time to introduce him to mother..."

　　Itsuki's tone hid her excitement, but the ahoge hair on her head swayed from side to side. She was halfway through her words before she realized something was wrong with the atmosphere. She looked at her silent sister.

　　"Uh... What?"

　　Regarding the complexity on their faces, Itsuki was confused.

　　"There isn't anything..."

　　The four of them shook their heads simultaneously.

　　"But according to Itsuki…" Ichika looked around and saw that at 9:30 in the morning, there were only two or three people in this cemetery. If it wasn't Bon season, there would probably be even fewer.

　　Therefore, she was able to quickly confirm that Shinichi was not in this grave.

　　"To prevent us from finding out, did Shinichi-kun run away after placing the flowers? It's so cute to be shy~"

　　Ichika covered her mouth and chuckled.

　　"There's really nothing we can do about that guy…" Nino took out her cell phone and made a call, and quickly answered the call.

　　"Hello? What is it?"

　　Nino hummed: "There's a surveillance camera here and we saw you laying flowers. So stop hiding and come straight here."

　　"Oh, I was discovered so quickly… Forgive me for worshiping your family's grave without permission. But I didn't touch anything else, I just put flowers on it, isn't that presumptuous?"

Shinichi's voice sounded a little depressed, and at the same time, his figure appeared at the entrance of the cemetery on the other side, and approached here.

　　However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and spoke in shock.

　　"Wait a minute, you just arrived not long ago, how can you have time to remove the monitor in the cemetery?"

　　Ichika leaned closer to the microphone and teased: "Oh, clever Shinichi-kun fell into the trap. Is it because he has a guilty conscience? Or because of Nino's beauty trap..."

　　"Ichika!"

　　Nino disconnected the call before she could finish her words, then jumped on her and started tickling her.

　　As Shinichi walked closer to them, he happened to see Itsuki and Yotsuba tidying up their messy clothes.

　　"It's not appropriate to fight like this in front of mother's grave! You two need to be more serious!"

　　"It's nothing~ This way mom can find out how close we are as sisters~" Ichika rolled her messy hair over her cheek, and winked at Shinichi.

　　"Shinichi-kun, what time are you coming?"

　　"…I just arrived." Shinichi stood in the corner trying to reduce his presence.

　　However, Nino didn't let him go. While arranging her clothes, she said angrily, "Just tell me when you're here. Worshiping our mother is not something that should be done with ulterior motives."

　　"Asada-san, you must be embarrassed~" Yotsuba grinned.

　　Shinichi grabbed her hair tie.

　　"You guys go visit the grave first, I'll wait for you outside."

　　Itsuki nodded, saw him turn to leave, hesitated for a moment, and stopped him.

　　"Um, would you like to come with us?"

　　Shinichi pointed to himself in surprise: "Me? You don't need me to help you sweep your grave?"

　　"No, it's not like that!" Itsuki waved her hands frantically, her face turning red for some reason, "After all, this is a rare opportunity. Although you may have paid your respects first, but..."

　　She opened her mouth, unable to think of what to say to defend her.

　　At this moment, Miku appeared beside Shinichi and gently grabbed his arm.

　　"Together."

　　For no reason, she looked at him.

　　"Asada-san, come together!"

　　Yotsuba shook off her dizziness, a voice of vitality sounded on the other side.

　　Ichika and Nino smiled at him, showing no intention of refusing at all.

　　Itsuki blinked her eyes expectantly, and her pure gaze made people feel very stressed.

　　Under the gazes of the five girls, Shinichi remained silent for a long time.

　　In the end, he sighed helplessly.

　　"Okay, if you don't mind."

　　Adoring their mother who had five daughters would be meaningless if they were just normal friends.

　　And that's the problem. It was very difficult for Shinichi not to think about scenes like 'Mother-in-law meets son-in-law', let alone what he had just said to Rena. There were many things about them, but now he was surrounded by them and adored...

　　He was already thinking about how to explain his dreams at night.

　　It was embarrassing, but he still had to pretend to be calm, so as not to be teased by them again.

　　As the trees swayed gently, Shinichi noticed their division of labor. The tombstone was quickly cleaned, two bouquets of flowers were put into the cleaned vase, water was poured on the tombstone, and then the six of them stood in a row.

　　Shinichi refused to stand in the middle. After the arrangements were completed, he insisted on standing beside Itsuki. Luckily, they didn't mind, so they clasped their hands together and began to worship.

　　The atmosphere is always very quiet when praying for blessings. The girls seemed engrossed in conversation with the deceased.

　　Shinichi opened his eyes to take a look, then returned to his position of solemn worship. Because he had almost finished what he wanted to say, he waited for the five people to finish worshiping.

　　Not long after, Yotsuba's voice sounded behind him.

　　"Asada-san! What did you say to mother?"

　　Feeling five eyes focus on him again, Shinichi answered without opening his eyes.

　　"I hope Yotsuba can be as mature as Ichika."

　　"Pfft!" Yotsuba felt like her heart had been hit by an arrow.

　　Before Ichika could feel happy after hearing this, Shinichi continued:

　　"I hope Ichika can be as diligent as Itsuki."

　　Ichika's smile froze on her face.

　　"I hope Itsuki can be as careful as Nino."

　　Itsuki puffed out her cheeks.

　　"I hope Nino can be as gentle as Miku."

　　A vein appeared on Nino's forehead.

　　"I hope Miku can be as strong as Yotsuba."

　　Miku didn't have any expression, she made a fist stance towards him and started taking small steps.

　　After provoking the five girls with five sentences, Shinichi opened his eyes and smiled.

　　"I hope quintuplets can..."

　　(Always have a good relationship, and even if they split up later, the bond will never weaken)

　　Of course, Shinichi would not say such embarrassing words.

　　"By the way, mother is not a god. Why is Asada-san asking mother this?"

　　Shinichi: "😐"

　　I just said it casually, do you believe it?
