I'm Not Feeling Well Today; We'll Fight Another Day

"Stop looking, everyone, let's eat! Makoto's cooking skills are just as good as Nino's!"

Nakano Ichika smiled and picked up a sandwich first.

Her words and demeanor almost screamed "the Nakano Family."

Aside from Nakano Yotsuba muttering, "Why does Ichika strange?"

No one else said anything and quietly started eating.

Nakano Nino lowered her head, her mind racing with anxiety and worry. She couldn't even enjoy her delicious breakfast anymore.

Just then, she felt her phone vibrate.

I picked up my phone and saw it was Ichika.

Nakano Nino subconsciously glanced at Ichika, who Fushimi Makoto, but the latter didn't look at her at all, appearing to be enjoying her meal.

She opened the message with a sullen face, and her expression froze after just one glance.

Losers should sit at the kids' table.

What's the meaning?

Is Ichika subtly implying that I'm a loser?

I'm just a child in her eyes; how could I possibly be on the same level as her?

Nakano Nino was so angry she laughed.

Ichika, you might not know this, but I've already confessed my feelings to Makoto!

Having made up my mind, I have no weaknesses left.

She calmly put away her phone, looked up at Fushimi Makoto with a smile, and asked, "You're going to film again this afternoon, right? I'll go with you then."

She even came up with a reason in an instant. "We'll join a club sooner or later anyway, so this is a good time to get to know each other better."

"I want to go too!" Nakano Yotsuba mumbled through her rice ball.

Miku Nakano, then said to Fushimi Makoto, "I want to go too."

Fushimi Makoto naturally agreed.

Nakano Nino looked at Ichika with that smile in her eyes.

What she meant was: I'm starting to make my move, how is your sister going to respond?

However, Nakano Ichika just smiled gently, "I won't go. It's a rare time off, I should just stay home and laze around."

After saying that, she picked up a rice ball and held it to Fushimi Makoto's lips. "Open your mouth~"

Fushimi Makoto took a bite.

<The Last Whisper>.

Nakano Nino's smile froze.

Miku and Yotsuba stared in astonishment, their mouths agape.

My eyelids twitched uncontrollably in Itsuki.

Such a natural and intimate feeding action...

Something's not right.

Something's definitely not right!

Nino and Itsuki suddenly exchanged a glance, and a strong sense of crisis arose in their hearts at the same time.

This time it was Ichika's turn to smile happily.

Nino, I caught all of your moves!

There's a saying: When you're at a disadvantage, going straight for armor penetration is a good option.

This move was Ichika learned from Yukino.

Chapter 101 I'm not feeling well today, I'll fight another day.

Fushimi Makoto didn't go anywhere that day; he just stayed at the Nakano Family, chatting with a few girls or playing games together.

Of course, his main purpose was to keep Ichika.

He had expected Ichika to stick to him all day, and if it wasn't intentional flirting, it would at least be an act, showing her joy and sweetness.

To Fushimi Makoto, aside from that intimate feeding gesture in the morning, Ichika never "performed" again.

When Yotsuba shared the game with him, Ichika simply stayed by his side, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

When Miku asked Fushimi Makoto about the club's daily activities, Ichika remained as understanding as ever.

Nino and Itsuki were much quieter today, mostly keeping to themselves.

Because of Ichika's unusual behavior—her failure to seize the opportunity to deliberately assert her dominance— Fushimi Makoto observed her secretly for quite some time before figuring out the reason.

He found some free time to ask Ichika alone, and the girl gave an affirmative answer.

The answer is: Nakano Ichika.

She had sensed that Nino was no longer safe a long time ago, and she also began to suspect Itsuki.

She chose to ally with Itsuki in order to get a closer look at this usually honest and well-behaved younger sister.

Nino has a strong personality, so she chooses to directly express her feelings.

But the current Nakano Ichika is different; she has already secured the victory.

She worried that if she showed off now, Nino and Itsuki might have unexpected reactions. At the same time, she felt that she was the victor and didn't need to resort to any more clever tricks.

Therefore, she also discarded the thoughts she had while lying in bed that morning.

"It's only at times like this that I truly feel you are the eldest daughter of the Nakano Family," Fushimi Makoto teased after hearing this.

Nakano Ichika laughed nonchalantly, "I know I'm usually lazy, but that's just my true self."

"Understood, Miss Ichika who lives in the garbage dump."

"... How do you still remember that name?"

After playing until the afternoon, Fushimi Makoto had to go to the film set to meet up with his friends.

Nakano Ichika originally wanted to walk him downstairs, but he persuaded her to go back, saying, "Your body is still recovering."

"I'm perfectly healthy, and I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

As Nakano Ichika walked back, she was still somewhat resentful.

Although she was defeated shortly after her defeat early this morning and submitted her defeat CG, she believes that she is still young and that as long as she trains more in the future, her physical fitness will definitely not be a problem.

After a while, Itsuki also went out, leaving only the four girls at home.

Nakano Ichika returned to the living room, Nino said expressionlessly, "I have something to ask you."

"Good."

Nakano Ichika had anticipated this, and followed Nino to the bedroom.

So Miku and Yotsuba looked at each other in the living room.

"It seems like they're hiding something from us." Yotsuba's expression was hesitant.

Miku said, "Nino and Itsuki are acting a bit strange today too."

Yotsuba blinked. "I noticed too, but why are they acting strangely?"

Miku did not answer this time.

She already knew the answer in her heart: because of Fushimi Makoto.

Judging from Ichika's affectionate feeding gestures this morning, she felt that Ichika and Fushimi Makoto must already have a very close relationship.

The fact that Nino and Itsuki are behaving so strangely means that their three sisters might be fighting over a man.

And they were all fighting over the same man.

Miku is having a hard time maintaining her composure.

She herself Fushimi Makoto quite a bit, but she knew that her concern was far less than that of Nino and the others.

The time she blushed the most was the night she had just become friends with Fushimi Makoto, and then she got aroused...

This is in Nino's bedroom.

The two girls sat facing each other. Compared to Nino's expressionless face, Ichika appeared much more composed.

"Speak, what exactly do you want to say by calling me here? And you even went out of your way to avoid Miku others." Nakano Ichika's voice was gentle.

Nakano Nino remained silent for a moment, as if she had made a decision. "You and Makoto..."

"I like him," Nakano Ichika said calmly.

Nakano Nino was stunned.

No, I haven't even figured out how to gather information yet, and you've already thrown your cards in my face. Is that appropriate?

"Nino, I actually know you have feelings for Makoto." Nakano Ichika's tone remained gentle.

Nakano Nino remained silent.

Nakano Ichika stated directly, "But on this matter, I'm sorry, I can't give in to you."

"I don't think I said I needed you to give way to me, did I?" Nakano Nino's feelings were complicated, and she didn't even have the confidence to refute.

Nakano Ichika flashed her signature smile, "It's good that you think that way. I was really worried that you might..."

"So you've given up entirely?" Nakano Nino suddenly looked at Ichika. "Do you really think I'm that fragile?"

Nakano Ichika shook her head; she could tell that Nino was angry and had lost her temper.

So there's no need for her to explain anymore.

After a few seconds, Nakano Nino seemed to have calmed down, stood up and said, "Since you've made things clear, I don't need to ask anymore. I'm going to the film set now to learn from Makoto. Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"

"No, thank you." Nakano Ichika declined.

Nakano Nino looked at her sister suspiciously. "You're not even going to the film set, is it really just because you want to slack off? Makoto is busy there too, shouldn't you be sticking to him like glue?"

Nakano Ichika's face broke into a mischievous smile, "Eh? Nino is clearly angry, but she's still concerned about me. That really touches me."

Only an idiot would care about you!

Nakano Nino turned away in embarrassment, this time without the slightest hesitation.

But as soon as she left, Nakano Ichika's smile faded, replaced by a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Ichika sent Yukino a message this morning.

A blatantly provocative message.

So Yukino, replied: [I'll be waiting for you at the film set this afternoon.]

A seemingly ordinary sentence sent chills down Nakano Ichika's spine.

She bet Yukino's words meant the same thing as "Don't leave after school if you dare."

Although she was resentful Yukino.

However, all those previous encounters have proven that Yukino can truly dominate her from start to finish, while maintaining the utmost composure to shatter her defenses.

Nakano Ichika was embarrassed and chickened out.

"I'm not feeling well today, I'll fight another day."

After thinking about it, she replied to Yukino's message.

Less than ten seconds later, Yukino responded: [Are you scared?]

There were no emojis, just pure text, which seemed to remind Nakano Ichika of Yukino's ambiguous smile.

"This woman is definitely the most troublesome," Nakano Ichika murmured.

However, Yukino on the other side did not laugh.

As she hurried toward the filming location, she pondered for a while and finally concluded: Something must have happened between Ichika and that guy, otherwise she wouldn't have come to provoke me so early in the morning.
