Shameless Nakano Family

　　There was a faint soft fragrance in the air, like that of flowers and essential oils. Shinichi sniffed it, and found it similar to Nino's body odor... She must have played a lot with skin care products, essential oils, and other things, but there was no overpowering chemical smell. Maybe there is a problem in noticing this aspect?

　　After all, Nino is still underage, too mature and easy to criticize... But Shinichi still likes Miku's soft and natural scent.

　　In such a comparison, Furuhashi, Miku, and Nino have different body fragrances, but they all have their own characteristics.

　　Thinking of this, Shinichi stopped his thoughts.

　　It would be impolite for him to continue to think about it.

　　"Ah~ I felt really tired when I got home…"

　　Nino threw the bag on the sofa and glanced at Shinichi.

　　"Stay in the living room first, and wait until we shower and get changed before we start preparing for the birthday party… Don't hang around."

　　Shinichi shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer. After adjusting his shoes and putting on the visitor's sandals, he walked towards the empty sofa seat very naturally.

　　Nino was about to go to the bathroom, Itsuki who was about to pour a drink in the kitchen suddenly stopped her.

　　"Nino, wait a minute, you want to wash yourself?"

　　"Yes, what is up?" Nino turned her head. "I've put the clothes in the changing room, so it's fine if I take a shower first?"

　　"Ah, that's not the problem." Itsuki walked out of the kitchen, placed the cup in front of Shinichi, and suggested.

　　"Why don't we take a bath together?"

　　Let's take a bath together...

　　Let's take a bath together...

　　Itsuki's voice echoed in the spacious living room, echoing in their ears.

　　Then, the atmosphere fell into a brief silence.

　　Nino, Miku, and Yotsuba first looked at Itsuki with a horrified face, then glanced at Shinichi beside her who was staring at the drink with a stiff expression like a stone statue.

　　Without lifting an eyelid, Shinichi was interested in the color of the juice and the changing light and shadow in the glass of water, and began to study it carefully.

　　"W-what is it?" Itsuki looked around, and the strange atmosphere coupled with the eye pressure from her sister mysteriously made her a little confused.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

　　Miku didn't answer, but swayed into the sofa on the other side, hugged her knees, buried her already red head up to her ears, and shook her head without saying a word.

　　When Itsuki turned her head, Yotsuba looked away in embarrassment, scratching her blushing cheeks.

　　"Even though our bathroom is quite big, even if just taking a bath together in swimsuits… That's still a bit inappropriate? After all, we've only known each other for a month, the relationship between this and that..."

　　As she spoke, her face became as red as an apple, and finally couldn't help feeling embarrassed in her heart, squatted down hugging her knees, and shouted in confusion.

　　"Aaaaaaahhhhh! This is beyond my age to answer, please ask again in another year!"

　　"Age limit?" Does such a thing exist…"

　　Itsuki made eye contact with Nino who clenched her fists tightly and had tears in her eyes.

　　"I think, Itsuki, you are the most serious and moral person among us..." Her voice trembled slightly, with an unbelievable and indescribable complex meaning, she couldn't tell if it was anger or embarrassment. Nino glanced at Itsuki.

　　"But I didn't expect you to say such unreasonable and immoral things... I really misjudged you!"

　　Itsuki was even more astonished, her face full of confusion: "So why—"

　　"Chaotic!"

　　"Eh—?!" Being reprimanded by Nino, Itsuki shouted, her face full of grievance.

　　Just as she was about to say something, Miku sobbed and added a soft voice.

　　"Pervert Itsuki."

　　"Even Miku too?!" Itsuki clutched her chest, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, and looked at Yotsuba with a hurt face, "It's just that everyone bathes together, why are you guys talking like that... Yotsuba, you too Do you think so?"

　　Yotsuba tightly covered her face, her rabbit-like green ribbon dangling in front of her head trembling.

　　"I don't know anything... I don't know about such a perverted and immoral Itsuki..."

　　"I-I..." Itsuki gripped the clothes on her chest tightly. "I was only thinking about Asada-kun, I didn't expect you to not only mind, but also scold me like this..."

　　Hearing what she said, Nino blushed even more after seeing her innocent and hurt expression, wondering if she had misunderstood. After glaring at her in embarrassment, she stepped towards Shinichi.

　　"That's great, actually let Itsuki so 'think' about you… Don't talk about what medicine you put on Itsuki, did you two develop such a relationship a long time ago, and already took a bath together?! That is why..."

　　Hearing those words, Miku raised her head, the light in her eyes flickered, and looked at Shinichi in disbelief: "Shinichi...?"

　　"W-Wait a second! Guys, I suddenly feel a little strange, so don't jump to conclusions!" Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse, and seemed to be developing into an ethical drama of family collapse, Yotsuba rushed to stop Nino who was about to rampage, and blocked Miku's view.

　　Just when the situation was about to become even more chaotic, Itsuki seemed to have finally understood something, her eyes widened, her face instantly reddened, and she stamped her foot on the floor.

　　As they were stunned by that, Itsuki closed her eyes tight and shouted at the top of her lungs.

　　"I mean, the four of us take a bath together so Asada-kun doesn't have to wait too long! What is your misunderstanding."

　　"Shameless!"

　　In the living room, her voice was mixed with complaints, embarrassment, anger and other emotions.
