The Room’s Sound Insulation is Excellent

Ten minutes later.

Itsuki pouted and came downstairs with a blank expression.

Ten minutes later, Ichika and Miku followed one after the other, with Nino coming down afterward, looking displeased.

"Ichika, you're being too slow."

"But I couldn't get up."

Ichika said sadly, "I couldn't sleep last night, so I stayed up late. It's not even 9 a.m. yet. I usually sleep until noon."

"Ichika, button up your shirt!"

"Huh?"

"Stop acting dumb and button it up already."

"Mhm~ Nino is such a housekeeper."

Nino clenched her fist and yelled, "Whose fault do you think this is?"

"Good morning, Kuromori-kun..."

Coming downstairs, Ichika yawned lazily, closed her eyes, slightly tilted her head, and showed a sweet, bright smile.

Nino: "Alright, now that we're all awake, hurry up and take a shower, then have breakfast."

After saying that, she glanced at Haruto: "Kuromori, do you want to eat?"

"..."

By the time the five sisters finished their breakfast, it was already half past eight in the morning.

The real studying began.

Haruto had already made some preparations based on the quintuplets' different abilities.

As a result, even though he was dealing with five airheads at once, he still managed to handle it with ease.

Time passed quickly, and in the middle of the tutoring session, noon arrived in the blink of an eye.

Haruto interlaced his fingers and looked at the five girls, who were all dozing off: "That's it for today."

"Phew, finally done."

Yotsuba collapsed onto the table, holding her head: "Even though I understand everything, too much information at once makes my head feel like it's going to explode."

"Right, Kuromori-kun is too harsh."

Ichika's eyes were filled with excitement, and she raised her finger, saying, "How about we play this afternoon? I haven't been to the zoo since I got here."

"I refuse."

Haruto bluntly said, "No going out this afternoon, stay here and continue studying."

"Woo~~~"

Ichika covered her face with her hands and shook her head: "Don't listen to him, zoo, we have to go to the zoo, I want to see pandas."

"Huh? Pandas?"

Itsuki, who had been happily munching on biscuits and not paying attention to what was happening, suddenly had the ahoge (cowlick) on her head straighten up.

Sure enough, even Itsuki couldn't resist the charm of pandas?

Yotsuba immediately sat up straight, as if facing a fierce opponent: "Pandas, really..."

Miku's eyes also sparkled a little, and she glanced at Haruto: "Kuromori, can we go to the zoo together?"

"It's decided!"

Nino placed her hands on her hips and made the final decision: "It's settled, we're going to the zoo this afternoon!"

Haruto lifted his eyes and stared at the quintuplets.

They had promised to study, but now they wanted to go to the zoo in the afternoon?

Wishful thinking.

Unfortunately for them, they were destined not to get what they wanted today!

Haruto only said one sentence: "Sorry, it's already started raining."

"Huh?"

The quintuplets hurried to the window, and sure enough, they saw a light drizzle falling outside, and at some point, the sky had gradually become covered with dark clouds.

"How could this be..."

Yotsuba slumped forward in frustration: "It was still sunny this morning."

Ichika also felt a bit regretful: "Well, nothing we can do about it, I'll just go next time."

Nino said: "Alright then, we'll go next time. I'll go make lunch now. Yotsuba, come help."

Because of the rain, the zoo trip was, of course, postponed.

After lunch, they took a short break and then continued studying in the afternoon.

After a while, Haruto suddenly noticed how quiet the living room had become. He looked up and saw that Ichika, Nino, Yotsuba, and Itsuki had all fallen asleep.

Thinking for a moment, Haruto decided not to disturb them.

By now, it had been almost two hours since noon.

Honestly, it was impressive that they had managed to study quietly for such a long time.

At this point, Haruto suddenly felt a familiar poking sensation on his arm.

*Poke*

Haruto turned and looked at the girl with headphones sitting beside him. "Miku, what's up?"

Miku glanced at her sleeping sisters, pointed upstairs, then stood up and quietly walked upstairs.

Haruto thought for a moment, then got up and followed.

What could a girl want to do when inviting a guy to her room...?

Could it be that Miku couldn't hold back any longer?

Fortunately, after two days of studying, it was time to relax.

In the dim room, Haruto's deep voice suddenly broke the silence: "Miku, do you really want to do this? What if we get caught?"

Then, a slightly nervous girl's voice replied: "Don't worry, we'll just play for a bit, and it'll be over soon."

"Miku, why don't you change how you play?"

"No way!"

Miku said firmly: "I heard this way of playing is more exciting. I won't lose to you."

"Miku, you've lost control."

"Stop talking and get over here!"

"Alright then, I'm here, but be careful not to be too rough, and position your legs to block me a bit."

"Mhm~ Kuromori is so reckless, but the room's sound insulation is great, so it won't bother them. Come on, sit quickly."

"Alright."

Haruto sat down, grabbed the game controller, and said casually, "Have you played Street Fighter before?"

"I have."

Miku glanced at Haruto, raised her finger, and said confidently, "I only needed one coin to clear all the levels."

"Oh, so you're a master, huh?"

Haruto looked at Miku. Under the glow of the computer screen, the corner of the girl's pink lips lifted slightly, and the sight unexpectedly made his heart skip a beat.

He felt like this scene had etched itself into his memory and would never fade.

Noticing Haruto's gaze, Miku's face flushed, and she couldn't help but lash out: "Don't stare at me!"

Haruto turned his head away and said nonchalantly: "Miku, you're really cute when you smile. You should smile more often."

Miku's face suddenly turned bright red, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch him: "You reckless fool!"

Haruto's face darkened a bit: "Let go."

"Not letting go."

'You won't let go, huh? I compliment you for being cute, and instead of being grateful, you pinch me... That's outrageous!'

Haruto straightened his face and grabbed Miku's cold hand.

Miku suddenly panicked and said in a less confident tone: "Let go."

Now it was just the two of them in the room, and the door was still closed. As Nino had said, boys at this age could be really scary.

"Not letting go."

Haruto held onto Miku tightly to stop her from escaping and said with a straight face, "Not until you admit you were wrong."

'Don't think that just because you're a girl, I'll always give in to you!'
