Animal World

"Eh, why the towel…"

Miku's eyes moved slightly upwards, and she immediately became frightened.

"Ugh-"

The sound of surging water vapor resounded loudly.

The two of them looked at each other, the air suddenly calmed down.

"Sorry!"

After a few seconds of silence, Miku finally woke up, turned around and ran away without a word, like a princess who met an evil dragon while she was out of town.

"Wait, don't go yet." Naoki shouted behind Miku.

Miku's body was shaking, and she didn't mean to stop at all.

You actually let yourself stay, what am I doing here?

Do you want me to wipe your back for you?

Seeing Miku disappear in an instant, Naoki fell silent, you are too shy! Even elementary school students shouldn't be so confused, have you ever seen a picture of a statue of David in a history textbook!

"Miku, what are you running for?"

Itsuki's suspicious voice rang out.

"No, I didn't run." Miku hastily shook her head.

Itsuki asked again, "Why haven't the pajamas been given to Asakawa-san yet?"

"That, that…" Miku stammered, her eyes wandering, "I was just playing with my phone, I forgot…"

"Why are there extra white towels?"

Miku saw the towel in her hand, took a half step back, hid the towel behind her, blushed, closed her eyes and said:

"That's not the towel Asakawa used just now!"

After shouting, Miku realized that her explanation just now was clearly unbelievable here, and she shyly took half a step under her feet, and suddenly stopped suddenly.

Not.

Can't run.

If I ran upstairs now, even Itsuki would be suspicious.

When the time comes to ask the reckless Asakawa, everything just now will be revealed!

Miku took a deep breath and tried to speak in a nonchalant tone: "…I just brought a towel for Asakawa to use, I'll be delivering clothes."

Seeing Miku leave in a panic, Itsuki's eyes were astonished: "...I always felt Miku was so wrong."

Naoki had just finished washing his hair when he heard the sound of frantic footsteps and returned to the bathroom door, turned his head and asked, "Miku?"

Miku's voice was embarrassed: "...I forgot to give you a towel and pajamas."

Naoki sighed "I told you to stop running earlier."

Suddenly seeing something so terrifying, how could I not run away!

Naoki walked to the door, stretched out his hand to open it, and just opened the gap, Miku's panicked voice sounded outside the door: "It's okay, don't open it again."

Luckily your sister doesn't run the bathhouse. Such a timid employee has long caused the bathhouse to go bankrupt!

"Give me something."

Miku turned her face away. Under the bright light, one could clearly see that the tips of his ears and neck had turned a red color. Except for putting his hand in, she didn't even look around the corner, as if she would be caught if she wasn't careful.

This time, his hair had been washed, and there were no accidents. Naoki took his pajamas and said, "Thank you Miku."

"I don't want you to thank…" Miku could clearly hear her rapid heartbeat in her chest and said shyly, "I'm leaving!"

"Wait a moment." Naoki shouted.

"What is it?"

Miku tightened her body, so nervous that she held her breath, ready to run away at any moment.

Naoki stretched out his hand and said, "There's still a towel, give it back to me."

Miku: "..."

Throwing the towel on the other side at Naoki, Miku heaved a sigh of relief, turned and ran away without saying a word.

Naoki continued to shower. After rinsing his body, he got into the tub and started to shower. After soaking briefly for five minutes, he immediately got up and cleaned the bathroom.

Back in the living room, none of the five girls from the Nakano family left, they were all sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Asakawa-san, you showered really fast." Yotsuba said.

Naoki wiped his hair: "You guys shower too late."

"Asakawa-kun is going too far." Ichika holds a hippo pillow in her arms, no wonder her favorite animal is a hippopotamus, "We had a quick shower today, otherwise you wouldn't be in the bathroom."

Itsuki nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ichika usually takes a very slow shower, sometimes for an hour."

Being in an enclosed environment such as a bathroom for a long time will leave one feeling short of breath, dizzy, and dangerous for an hour!

Miku held her knees with both hands and looked at the TV. Except for moving his ears, she had no intention of turning his head.

There's an Animal World show on TV.

"As night falls, the Amazonian python begins to hunt tonight..."

Along with the off-screen narrative, immediately there are ripples in the still water, and then a huge Amazonian boa appears on camera.

Ichika: "What a huge python."

Nino: "It looks disgusting."

Yotsuba: "I heard from friends that some people like to keep snakes as pets, but not everyone is afraid, and some people like them."

Itsuki: "Pitons are cute when they are young, but too scary when they grow up."

"Big python..."

Miku hugged her legs, buried half of her face in her knees, and only exposed her eyes on the outside. Listening to people's discussions, she recalled the terrible thing she had just seen. She didn't know if it was cute when it was a child, however, now it is a feared python.

"You five are not sleepy?" Naoki held the towel and hair, "If you're not sleepy, just bring the book and let's continue studying."

"It's half past eleven, and Asakawa-kun still has to study." Ichika said sadly, "We won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning, will we?"

"What is 11:30?" Naoki complained, "Did you know that among Korean candidates, there is a popular saying that there are four and five?"

"Candidates who sleep four hours a day may be selected for university admission. If you get five hours of sleep, you may fall short on the list. You follow the four and five failure study plans. There's no problem with making 10,000% of the exam."

"There's no problem with the retest, but we're going to die, right?" Nino looked disgusted, "Only sleeping four hours a day is not something a human can do at all."

Yotsuba patted his chest with a lingering fear: "It's great not to live in Korea."

"Hmm, Asakawa-kun misunderstood." Ichika stood up, her hands behind her back, and said earnestly, "We were sitting in the living room and not sleeping, but actually wanted to say goodnight to Asakawa-kun in person."

"Good evening, Asakawa-kun." Ichika's face showed a happy smile from the little fox's success in stealing the chicken. She turned and ran upstairs, "See you tomorrow."

"Hey, wait for me."

"Ichika slipped away again."

"Asakawa-san, good night, let's study together tomorrow."

The five sisters got up and ran upstairs.

Naoki couldn't help but yell, "When you guys go upstairs, turn off the TV and chandelier, and clean up the living room!"
