Nino Has Another Socially Mortifying Moment

Ichika thought about it with conflicted emotions.

"Miku is absolutely right."

Fushimi Makoto smiled, first agreeing, then saying with a smile, "However, your statement that it doesn't matter whether the short film is of high or low quality is actually not entirely accurate."

Miku Nakano blinked. "Is it because you've all been working hard to finish the short film?"

"That's right." Fushimi Makoto affirmed this time. "It's already impressive that you were able to observe these things. If you have any other opinions in the future, you can express them like you did today."

Miku Nakano paused, then said, "I..."

"I understand what you mean and I can understand this idea because I have been through it myself before. For example, I felt that my point of view was not perfect, so I kept quiet and tried to use silence as a protective shield."

Fushimi Makoto paused briefly, then changed to an encouraging tone. "Such silence and timidity are indeed a form of protection, but over time, they will unknowingly extinguish many sparks of inspiration that were originally meant to be yours."

Miku Nakano seemed lost in thought.

Ichika also suppressed her other emotions and smiled gently, "Just like Makoto said, Miku, if you have a different opinion, you can always speak up in the future. After all, we are family."

Fushimi Makoto, matching her tone, continued, "If Miku wants to change, you have to take the first step. There's a saying in a book that goes, 'Great change often begins with a small sound.'"

"That's a good point." Nakano Nino crossed her arms, her heart also stirred.

At this moment, Yotsuba and Itsuki could see that Makoto Fushimi Makoto wanted to take this opportunity to encourage Miku.

They can easily join in the conversation and quickly strengthen the bond between the sisters.

"My opinion is important?" Miku Nakano looked at Fushimi Makoto, her beautiful eyes seemingly brimming with light.

"Of course it's important. When people are discussing something, everyone's opinions are not necessarily the same, so your opinion might be a unique and helpful suggestion."

Fushimi Makoto, Makoto Fushimi slowly extended a finger. "Let me tell you a secret, Miku."

"What secret?"

Starting with a "secret" statement is indeed very effective at attracting girls' attention.

Fushimi Makoto lowered his voice in agreement. "Speaking up does take courage. It's normal to be afraid of being rejected or ignored. But Miku, you may not know this, but most people's 'audience' isn't actually that demanding. People often overestimate how much attention others pay to them, but in reality, letting others hear your unique voice is itself a grand echo."

As he spoke, he got into the flow himself.

Nino's mission rewards are starting to materialize.

That's why he noticed that not only Miku's eyes were shining, Ichika's and the others' eyes were also incredibly fervent.

"I see!"

Miku was the first to stand up and bowed very solemnly to Fushimi Makoto to express her gratitude.

Then, she rarely showed a beautiful smile, "Fushimi, I'll remember what you said."

Seeing this scene, Nino recalled the ease and joy she had shared with him, and a sudden impulse arose within her: Make your move!

Yotsuba's thinking was more serious, "If I join his club in the future, I'm sure I can learn a lot."

Itsuki wondered: Is my voice unique? To him, I must be unique too, so should I be braver? But how should I do that?

A complete novice in love is caught in a dilemma.

Only Ichika stared intently at Fushimi Makoto, her eyes burning with determination; she had made up her mind.

Yukinoshita says she won't be a fool, but her actions clearly show that she wants to experience what it's like to be a fool.

The crisis has arrived, and the only fool in the Nakano Family is me.

It has to be me.

Ichika, in front of everyone, Ichika suggested to Fushimi Makoto, "Makoto, why don't you stay here tonight? Tomorrow's the weekend, and we can all go filming together."

None of the other four girls objected.

They're still basking in the glow of the buff.

Fushimi Makoto noticed something was off about Ichika's expression.

She might be trying to test my weaknesses.

Therefore, Fushimi Makoto decided to take on the challenge.

Ichika and Nino tidied up the guest room together. When they returned and sat down, Nino suggested that she needed a massage to relieve her fatigue.

She made no attempt to hide it, clearly still affected by her emotions from just now.

"Me too." Itsuki was the second to speak.

Then comes the Yotsuba.

Miku, her beautiful legs in black stockings pressed together, looked eager to try.

She's warming up.

Ichika watched this scene with a smile, as if she were displaying the aura of the eldest daughter of the Nakano Family; her magnanimity and tolerance were evident on her face.

Although Fushimi Makoto could tell she was faking it...

Surrounded by the girls, Fushimi Makoto first gave Nino a proper massage.

Even though he acted very seriously and was extremely professional, Nino couldn't help but hum softly in front of her sisters because the technique felt so good.

"How embarrassing," Miku bravely voiced her opinion.

Nino immediately bristled. "Then you do it!"

A moment later, Miku's face turned bright red, and she struggled to her feet from the sofa.

It feels really comfortable.

It feels so good that your legs go weak.

After the girls finished their queuing and trying out the products, Fushimi Makoto rubbed his wrists, which were now covered in the various scents of the girls.

As night deepened, Fushimi Makoto his shower and went to lie down in his guest room.

From daily necessities to towels and bathrobes, everything was chosen by Nino.

She is always very meticulous in this regard.

At exactly midnight, the once quiet Nakano Family was suddenly filled with the sound of a doorknob turning.

Nakano Ichika emerged from the bedroom wearing a shirt and shorts.

She glanced at the dark living room, a smug smile creeping onto her lips.

I was so clever; no one would have thought I'd sneak up on Makoto in the middle of the night.

However, as soon as she closed the door, the door to the next room opened.

To her astonishment, Nino, dressed in her pajamas, slowly appeared, staring at her with a half-smile, without saying a word.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Nakano Ichika took the initiative. "I'm going to the restroom, Nino, do you want to come with me?"

"You'd better just go to the restroom." Nakano Nino made no attempt to hide her attitude.

Nakano Ichika maintained her usual smile, "Eh? Why do you sound like you're doubting me?"

Nakano Nino chuckled, "I don't just doubt you, I'll be watching you all night, Ichika."

Nakano Ichika could no longer smile.

She could tell that Nino was serious.

Seeing her sister's reaction, Nakano Nino felt both angry and somewhat smug.

Trying to sneak out?

Did you ask me if Nino was going all out?

When Nino uses her full strength, she can keep an eye on all four of her sisters.

Besides, why couldn't I be the one who raided Makoto's place at night?

Nakano Nino's thoughts were no less than Ichika's.

1:30 AM.

Nakano Ichika to sneak out failed again.

She had no idea that after Nino returned to her room, she drank coffee while checking the comments and gossip surrounding her using her alternate account to promote the CP (couple pairing).

It's very difficult for a person to fall asleep when they are angry.

At three in the morning, Nakano Nino keenly heard the sound once again.

She opened the door unhurriedly, ready to continue her argument with Ichika, only to find that there was no movement from Ichika's bedroom.

It was Miku who opened the door!

Nakano Nino stared blankly, mouth agape, at Miku, who was walking with her eyes almost closed. Miku went to the bathroom in a daze, then came back in a daze, and finally... went into Fushimi Makoto's room.

"Ah?"

Nakano Nino was stunned.

Are there more experts?

Was she acting, or was she genuinely too sleepy to see clearly?

Chapter 96 Nino died again.

For Fushimi Makoto, this night could be described as a rollercoaster of emotions.

Earlier, Nakano Ichika winked at him, and he successfully received the signal, which is why he didn't lock the door.

He waited for more than three hours.

He went outside to take a look, and the whole house was quiet; he couldn't hear a sound at all.

He figured that Nakano Ichika might have accidentally fallen asleep, so he didn't wait any longer and chose to rest.

In his dream, he felt like he was hugging a super comfortable, oversized body pillow.

Not only is it soft and fluffy, but it also carries warmth and a captivating fragrance.

In my dream, the body pillow transformed into Ichika's shape, then into Yukino, and finally Nino's face appeared as well.

And that intoxicating fragrance not only lingered in my nose for a long time, but also enveloped my entire being.

Wrong!

The scent is so realistic.

Fushimi Makoto instantly became alert and opened his eyes.

Sure enough, that fragrance was not a dream at all.

Even the texture of his hands felt real.

Because the room was dark and the lights were off, he couldn't see who the girl in his arms was.

He guessed it should be Ichika.

Apart from Ichika, probably no one else would dare to do such a thing.

However, out of caution, he carefully withdrew his hand from the girl's waist, picked up the phone next to the pillow, and unlocked the screen.

The dim light allowed him to see the girl's face clearly.

Miku?

What's going on?

Fushimi Makoto was stunned.

At this moment, Miku Nakano, lying in his arms, had her eyes closed and was breathing evenly. Her delicate and beautiful face came into his view.

The girl was clearly sleeping soundly.

She draped her arm over Fushimi Makoto, her soft, fragrant body pressing against him, the two of them pressed close together, forming the most intimate distance between them.

Her pajamas were loose at the neckline, and because of her sleeping position, the exposed area had increased, revealing her smooth, jade-like neck skin with a crystal-clear, delicate glow to Fushimi Makoto's view. Her slender waist was also pressed against him, like a well-behaved and adorable kitten, curled up in Fushimi Makoto's arms.

Fushimi Makoto then understood where that soft, squishy feeling in his dream came from.

His hands were inside Miku Nakano's clothes, wrapping around the girl's fair waist.
