After proving his innocence, Naoki hugs Itsuki and asks:
"Have you finished reading the manga yet?"
Itsuki blushed and turned his head: "I didn't finish."
"Read together."
Itsuki hastily changed his words: "I have finished reading it."
"You say you haven't for, and then you say you have done it." Naoki sighed "Which line should I believe?"
Itsuki's face turned red, suddenly his body trembled, his eyes widened: "Don't pinch my stomach!"
The books Yuika keeps writing isn't much, so Naoki and Itsuki read them again.
Just as he was about to sleep, that Yuika came in with a message:
"Servant, what about Yuika's manga?"
Naoki: "As expected of you."
Yuika: "What do you mean?"
Ordinary people really can't draw such bad manga, and they can only say that it's you!
...
10 p.m.
After Ichika took a shower, she walked out in her pajamas, sat down on the sofa, and started acting coquettishly in a charming tone.
"Asakawa-kun, my arm hurts, help me blow my hair."
"I'm thirsty, I want to eat oranges..."
"My shoulders are so uncomfortable, I like Asakawa-kun the most."
Naoki turned to look at Itsuki: "Do you know how I was after Ichika came here recently?"
Itsuki looked sympathetic: "This is hard work."
The three of them sat in the kotatsu, reading, studying, eating oranges, chatting and watching TV. They could barely feel the time passing, and before they knew it, it was already 11pm.
"Hoam~..."
Itsuki covered his mouth and yawned. She picked up the phone and looked at it. "Uh, it's 11 pm?"
Ichika was laying in the kotatsu, and when she heard the words, she picked up the cell phone, "That's right."
Naoki said: "It's time for you two to sleep, or you won't wake up tomorrow morning."
Ichika said in a lazy voice "I sleep in the kotatsu at night."
Hearing Ichika's words, Itsuki was suddenly moved.
"How about I sleep in the kotatsu too?"
The kotatsu was so warm that she didn't want to leave at all.
"Even though the kotatsu is good, you should go to bed to sleep." Naoki refuses. "The floor is too hard. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you will definitely feel uncomfortable."
Itsuki nodded: "Asakawa-san is right."
"The blankets must be really cold by now." Ichika held her cheek in her right hand, and her voice was pleasant, "Asakawa-kun, help me warm the bed, and I'll go to sleep once it's warm."
Let people warm the bed at every opportunity, you rot too fast!
"Let Itsuki help you warm up." Naoki said casually, "Itsuki is very hot, and she is not afraid of the cold in winter."
Most girls are afraid of the cold in winter, but there are exceptions.
Like Itsuki.
Even in winter, his hands and feet were still hot.
If the Quintuplets were thrown into frigid Siberia to survive, the one with the last laugh would have to be Itsuki!
"Eh?" The corners of Ichika's lips suddenly lifted slightly, "How did Asakawa-kun know that Itsuki is hot?"
Naoki thought for a while, then chose to tell the truth: "Because I hugged..."
Before those words finished, Itsuki's heavy punch was already striking swiftly.
"Don't talk nonsense, idiot!"
...
The next day.
Naoki opened his eyes at the sound of the alarm clock, took a shower first, then walked into the bedroom, and woke up Ichika and Itsuki who were still sleeping.
"Itsuki, wake up."
"Ummm..." Itsuki opened his eyes in a daze, and sat up yawning, "Ichika hasn't woken up yet."
"Leave it to me." Naoki urged "Go wash your face and brush your teeth."
"Oh."
Itsuki put on his sandals, and left the room in a daze.
In the bathroom.
Seeing herself brushing his teeth in the mirror, Itsuki suddenly woke up.
"Wait a minute."
"Miku said she doesn't know how Asakawa-san woke up Ichika yesterday, but I just remembered Ichika woke up not long after brushing her teeth."
"Even though Miku has always been slow, Ichika's inner awakening speed is still too fast."
Thinking of this, Itsuki's curiosity couldn't be suppressed.
"What method did Asakawa-san use to wake up Ichika?"
"Want to know."
"After studying, maybe I shouldn't let Ichika wander around outside."
Among the Quintuplets, the one calling for Ichika to wake up was usually Yotsuba, now Yotsuba trained every day, and the task of waking up fell on Itsuki.
No matter how good of a temper she was, Itsuki would definitely get a little mad if she shouted once and Ichika didn't wake up.
Now that she had the chance to come into contact with Ichika's secret, Itsuki sped up quickly, brushed his teeth quickly, washed his face, and then crawled out of the bedroom door, pricking his ears, ready to eavesdrop.
"How does that sound like a little mouse?"
Curious in his heart, Itsuki stretched out his right hand, ready to push the door open.
Since she couldn't really hear it, she could only see it with his eyes.
Lying quietly in the crack of the door, before Itsuki could see the situation in the bedroom clearly, the door was pulled open.
"Asakawa-san?" Itsuki was surprised, clutching his chest to catch his breath, "Why are you walking silently?"
"I have to ask you this." Naoki walked out and closed the door "What were you doing outside the door?"
"I didn't do anything... cough." Itsuki covered his mouth, but his eyes wandered, "I went back to the bedroom to get my glasses."
Naoki said. "Aren't glasses on your face?"
"Hah?" Itsuki pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, averting his face guiltily, "Really."
"Have you finished brushing your teeth yet?" Naoki asked.
"Done."
"It's really fast, have you cleaned it up yet?"
"Of course." Itsuki showed two rows of white teeth, "Look."
Naoki said firmly:
"The eye can't see it, it must be checked."
Itsuki was confused: "How to check?"
"It's so simple..."
Seeing Naoki approaching, Itsuki quickly understood what Naoki wanted to do, and turned his head to avoid it, but unfortunately it was too late.
The next second.
Those cold lips were blocked by Naoki.
Feeling the heat on his lips, the temperature on Itsuki's face rose rapidly, his eyes widened and she said, "Ichika will be out soon."
"Don't worry, there is no sound of opening the door yet."
Itsuki wanted to refuse, but when she thought that Ichika was behind the door, and she didn't know when it would come out, his heartbeat suddenly quickened, nervous excitement, and a feeling of bad morality mixed together, it made her open his lips, when the tip of the tongue was caught, it was too late to regret it, so Itsuki could only grieve and let Naoki bully her.
A moment later.
Itsuki leaned his back against the wall, panting heavily, his eyes barely clear.
"Oops." Naoki suddenly frowned.
Itsuki's heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong?"
"Forgot to check it." Naoki still said, "One more time…"
Itsuki's face turned red and hit hard.
"Give me a break!"
She glared at Naoki in embarrassment, Itsuki blushed and ran into the bathroom and started washing his face.
Looking at herself in the mirror with his face red and his eyes filled with tears, Itsuki suddenly woke up.
"...I remembered!"
"I just want to see the secret of waking up Ichika."
Itsuki quickly opened the door, looked towards the bedroom, and happened to see Ichika walking out.
"Itsuki, good morning."
"Good morning..." Itsuki opened his eyes wide and couldn't help asking, "How did you wake up?"
Ichika raised a finger and placed it to his lips: "This is a secret that no one else can know."
The more Ichika said that, the more curious Itsuki became!
Too bad today's opportunity was missed, and he couldn't ask for the truth, Itsuki could only make up his mind and work hard tomorrow.
While having breakfast, she texts Nino on the way, explaining the fact that Ichika is awake.
Then the three of them went to school together.
...
Another day of successful resolution of the chemistry club crisis.
Chemistry club activity room.
"Asakawa, good morning."
Sekijou took the initiative to say hello.
Sekijou had not spoken to Naoki in several days since she had accidentally pulled up his shorts at the pool that day.
Now, due to the club's disbandment crisis, she finally came out of the embarrassment.
"Morning."
Naoki nodded, and was surprised to find that there were more girls in the Chemistry club than yesterday, such as the three core girls of the Fumino Protection Association.
Furuhashi quickly said:
"I had communicated with everyone at the sewing club last night, saying that there was a dance party to be held. Everyone was very interested and agreed to help make clothes."
"There is more." Kashima raised his hand and said firmly, "I have friends in the show club. I asked their opinion last night about being able to appear at the dance."
Some of the girls are enthusiastic and discussing all aspects of the dance.
"Piano is the main music for dancing, right?"
"That's right, every dance on TV has to play the piano."
Sekijou said quickly:
"There's a piano in the music class, talk to the music sensei and we can borrow it."
Asumi clasped her hands to her chest: "Which of you can play the piano?"
The atmosphere suddenly calmed down.
The girls looked at each other, but neither spoke.
"There isn't any?"
"Why not ask the people in the show club?"
At this time, an unhurried voice sounded:
"I can play the piano."
The girls turned their heads one by one and looked at Naoki.
"Asakawa-san really knows how to play the piano?" Furuhashi confirmed and asked.
Naoki nodded: "Can play."
"It doesn't matter." Furuhashi nodded "Let's leave the piano performance to Asakawa-san."
Seeing everyone starting discussions one after another, some of the young girls who had just arrived had their doubts about life.
Naoki is an honor student, good grades doesn't mean he can play the piano right?
"Nii-chan, when did you learn the piano?" Rin asked curiously, "Why didn't I know? Was it in elementary school?"
"It's not in elementary school." Sayuki supported her cheek on her right hand. "Naoki-kun used to take me to play in the park and by the river when we were kids. I remember very clearly that he didn't practice piano in elementary school."
After Yuika finished speaking, she glanced at Yuika.
"Hatred!"
Yuika was very displeased.
Are childhood friends really great?
Even Sayuki didn't know that Naoki was an Esper, and she had lost to Yuika.
"Never studied in elementary school, or in junior high school." Rin was even more curious, "Nii-chan, when did you learn the piano?"
Speaking of this, Rin suddenly became nervous, came closer to Naoki's ear, and whispered softly:
"Nii-chan, turn yourself in, don't brag for face, Onee-san and everyone else will be sorely disappointed."
Naoki paused: "I really know how to play the piano."
Rin picked up the cell phone, operated it for a while, and quickly said:
"I asked Nanjo-Nee, and she said she didn't know you could play the piano."
Nanjo was busy drawing doujins all day, of course dhe didn't know I could play the piano!
"The girls who came here today seem suspicious of Nii-chan." Rin covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "To be safe, after school in the afternoon, Nii-chan should go to the piano class to play, if you really know how to play the piano, I will take off the stockings for you."
Naoki looked disgusted: "What would I want your stockings for?"
"Junior high school girl stockings are priceless." Rin said in a reasonable way "Nii-chan can use them or sell them for money..."
Whether using little sister's stockings for herself or selling them for money, Naoki will lose his qualifications as a person!
"I will also join."
Yuika sat next to Rin, and naturally heard the conversation between the two, and whispered: "If senpai can play the piano, I will also give senpai a reward."
Four eyes facing each other.
Naoki easily understood Yuika's eyes.
Panties rewards, Naoki doesn't want them at all!
"And I." Sayuki with a smile on her face, "I'm also curious about Naoki-kun's piano skills."
Yuika puffed out her cheeks: "Cow breast senpai, don't come to bother senpai!"
"Why am I disturbing?"
"Your oppai are really big, it will bother senpai!"
It was agreed to practice the piano in the afternoon, and the discussion in the morning was about to end.
...
It's time for lunch break.
At Canteen.
"Itsuki, how did Asakawa wake up Ichika?" Nino asked curiously.
"Who knows." Itsuki's cheeks puffed out, and there was a grain of rice in the corner of his mouth, and she said faintly, "After brushing my teeth and washing my hands, I got dressed and got up in no time."
Miku nodded: "Me too."
"And I." Yotsuba hurriedly said, "Me too… ah, no, I came to school to practice after breakfast that morning."
Naoki said, "Don't talk until you have swallowed something in your mouth."
"Oh."
Yotsuba and Itsuki lowered their heads to eat together.
Nino looked at Ichika and couldn't help but say:
"So you've been in bed for so many years, how do you get up early and succeed?"
"This is a secret." Ichika waggled his finger "If Nino wants to know, you can only find out with his own eyes."
"Let's see, continue rock paper scissors." Nino rolled up his sleeves, revealing his snow-white slender arms, "It's my turn today?"
Ichika stayed overnight, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki had been with her, so it was today's turn.
Yotsuba and Itsuki had stretched out hands that weren't holding chopsticks, and while eating, rock paper scissors at the same time, they didn't take any victory or defeat at all.
After a while.
Nino's voice trembled slightly: "Why did I lose?!"
