Nino Is Getting the Hang of This

Utaha's beautiful legs, clad in black stockings, were neatly together, a faint smile on her face, "I always thought your photoshoot was just a spur-of-the-moment thing, but after seeing it with my own eyes today, I realize it's not like that at all."

Fushimi Makoto smiled. "That's because everyone is working hard."

Utaha shook her head. "I saw it very clearly. From beginning to end, you did the most work. Although others completed their tasks well, you took on far more..."

As she spoke, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Seriously, I was really drawn in by how hard you were working on the filming just now."

Fushimi Makoto pretended to think, "Given the current pace of the conversation, should I express my flattery?"

"That's an exaggeration."

Utaha maintained her smile, though she felt somewhat disappointed.

She was well aware of how outstanding her physical attributes were. Just now, without any warning, her charming smile, starting from zero frames, combined with her perfect looks and figure, should have been enough to make any boy feel something.

However, Fushimi Makoto acted as if he was completely unaware of her pulling move.

She didn't think Fushimi Makoto would be oblivious in this regard.

So there's only one truth: he's surrounded by too many beautiful girls, and he's become somewhat immune to them.

This was bad news for Utaha.

She was determined to win over the boy in front of her.

Especially after being stimulated by the buff and seeing Fushimi Makoto doing things methodically, her thoughts became even stronger.

So, feigning nonchalance, she launched into a direct question, "Are you free tonight? I have a lot of things I need to ask you about. Let me treat you to dinner."

Fushimi Makoto: "I'm afraid it won't work in the next few days. Our short film is already in post-production, and I want to finish it as soon as possible."

"That's right, it was my oversight."

Utaha wasn't annoyed at all and quickly came up with Plan B: "While you still have your equipment, could you take a picture of me with the equipment and the shooting location in front of me as a souvenir?"

"Can."

Having received a positive response, she gracefully rose, displaying her long, shapely legs clad in black stockings. After finding the right angle and position, she first Fushimi Makoto take a front-facing photo.

Then, she turned her body slightly to the side and raised her beautiful face.

Her long, black hair fell down her back, reaching all the way to her waist.

In this pose, a person's eyes can easily follow her swaying hair, and they will unconsciously look down.

Even though she was wearing a loose dress today, without any slimming or shaping effect, her hip-to-hip ratio was incredibly impressive, coupled with the tightness of the black stockings. As soon as she stood there, the hem of her dress revealed her rounded, plump legs, instantly outlining a captivating and alluring curve.

Among the beautiful girls Fushimi Makoto knows, she has the most mature and outstanding hip-to-hip ratio.

Clearly, she was aware of this as well.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else around, only a few girls chatting or waiting, she didn't need to deliberately strike a more elaborate pose. She simply stood still, and her enviable curves, combined with her tall figure, seemed to be showing off.

That woman is cunning.

Fushimi Makoto held her phone, suppressing a laugh behind the camera.

Nakano Nino and the others were also looking this way.

Even the girls themselves were unconsciously drawn to Utaha's figure and temperament.

Yukino, holding her juice, glanced indifferently at the tall, beautiful figure, and sneered inwardly: I see a shameless female peacock seeking a mate.

After taking the photos, Utaha took the phone from Fushimi Makoto, looked at it, and smiled, "Your photos have a much better feel to them; they look much better than my usual selfies at tourist attractions."

Fushimi Makoto said, "These two photos haven't actually achieved the best effect yet. At least in my opinion, the senior's charm hasn't been fully showcased."

He did indeed fall for it.

Utaha's beautiful eyes sparkled. "Then after you finish your business, can you give me some guidance?"

She really thought I had been infected.

Fushimi Makoto readily agreed.

Utaha left, completely satisfied.

Yukino also got up to say goodbye.

She was still a bit flustered and didn't really want to stay and face Fushimi Makoto.

She was worried that she wouldn't be able to control her emotions, and if the other party took advantage of that, she would only fall even deeper into their trap.

Fushimi Makoto planned to first return the equipment to his own home, and then go to the Nakano Family to keep Ichika.

But Nino said that they were all free right now and could help out along the way.

Fushimi Makoto naturally wouldn't refuse.

The four girls followed him into the house. After he put his things away and returned, he heard Yotsuba say, as if with a sigh, "So Kasumigaoka- senpai is this easy to talk to? I used to hear that she wasn't easy to get along with, but now it seems that was all just a rumor."

Itsuki also expressed her agreement. "And she is an outstanding girl, both in appearance and academics."

What was said in jest was taken seriously by Nino, who immediately picked up on the word "excellent".

Yeah, the reason I got my base raided by Ichika is because she had the excuse of filming a movie to spend every day with Makoto.

She can even continue to improve and become even more outstanding.

Suddenly, Nakano Nino stood up.

Her sudden action startled her younger sisters.

Miku, who was closest to her, frowned and asked, "Nino, what's wrong?"

Nino seemed not to hear, her beautiful eyes fixed on Fushimi Makoto, her attitude firm. "Makoto, I want to improve."

Chapter 104 Nino gets to work

I want to improve.

Nakano Nino blurted out those words, not only was Fushimi Makoto aback, but the other three girls were also puzzled.

"Nino, why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Yotsuba asked first.

Miku looked at Nino puzzled expression, as if to say, "Have you taken the wrong medicine?"

Itsuki, however, seemed lost in thought. After a few seconds, she seemed to remember something. "Is it because Ichika has embarked on a path of progress?"

Nino didn't hide anything this time, but she didn't reveal everything either. "It's not just because of Ichika, but also because of you, Itsuki. You were telling us a few days ago that you felt your math had improved a lot, although you attributed it all to Yukinoshita..."

As she spoke, her thoughts became clearer and clearer. Her gaze swept across her sisters' varied expressions before finally Fushimi Makoto: "I know Itsuki. She wouldn't lie about something like this. This means that, instead of us being a team, two of us are secretly making progress."

Fushimi Makoto interjected, "We shouldn't say 'secretly.' You should have seen Ichika and Itsuki's efforts."

Nakano Nino said frankly, "That's right, I've seen all their hard work, and I don't want to be left far behind by them as time goes by. That's something I absolutely cannot allow!"

Finally, she deliberately raised her voice.

The way she's acting now seems to be imitating Fushimi Makoto's encouraging speech to everyone before each shoot.

In fact, she did show signs of imitation.

But through this imitation, she also conveyed her true feelings very naturally and calmly.

"Oh! This suddenly feels like a shonen manga." Nakano Yotsuba raised her little fist and waved it.

Nino then looked at the silent Miku: "Miku, what about you?"

Miku met Nino's gaze. "Although I always felt like you were implying something, there's one thing you said that's very true..."

Then, she turned to look at Fushimi Makoto, her eyes seeming hesitant.

Fushimi Makoto understood what she meant and said, "Do you remember what we talked about before? Your ideas may be unique, and everyone needs your voice."

Miku Nakano's eyes shone with determination as she declared, "The five of us are a group. Only by coming together can we form the five girls of the Nakano Family. If you, Fushimi, are truly planning to tutor us and help us improve, I will cooperate with you."

Just like Nino said, she didn't want to be left behind by Ichika and Itsuki.

"Me too, me too." Nakano Yotsuba stood up as well.

Fushimi Makoto nodded; this was indeed an unexpected delight.

He originally intended to use the [Nakano Nino's Gift] buff to help the five sisters with their studies.

Now, Nakano Nino's "feigned attack on one side while secretly advancing another" ignited the flames in Miku and Yotsuba's hearts.

Fushimi Makoto was somewhat glad that he had encouraged Miku before, especially in front of the other four girls.

Otherwise, Miku wouldn't have agreed so easily.

Fushimi Makoto gestured for them to sit down, then looked at Nino and asked, "I'm naturally willing to help you, but Nino, what's your plan?"

"Huh?"

Nakano Nino was stunned.

Plan?

What plan?

She acted impulsively in a moment of passion, expressing her strong desire to improve herself.

As for plans and short-term goals, she hadn't really thought about them in detail.

"Nino, you didn't even think about it, did you?" Miku couldn't help but ask.

Just as Nino was feeling awkward, Fushimi Makoto said, "Nino must have thought about it, such as showing her progress by improving her grades. It's just that Ichika has shone in other tracks, which is why she's hesitating about which track she should choose."

"Yes, that's what I think..."

Nakano Nino blushed slightly and quietly gave Fushimi Makoto a grateful smile.

Fushimi Makoto quickly chimed in, "Actually, there's no need to rush these things. Nino, you can take your time to think about it. Anyway, trying your best to improve your grades is also a form of progress."

"I see."

Nakano Nino saw Miku withdraw her gaze, she relaxed as well.

She almost put herself in an embarrassing situation.

Thankfully, Makoto reacted quickly and helped me finish the story.

But...

Nakano Nino bit her lip; she was even more unwilling to give up.

The more he took care of her, the stronger the bitter feeling she felt after Ichika had stolen her home became.

I need to find an opportunity to retaliate!

She secretly made up her mind.

Fushimi Makoto paid close attention to Nino's reaction.

Seeing the girl's constantly changing gaze, he understood what was going on.

Helping Nino improve isn't difficult; the girl herself has talent in many things, such as cooking, housework, and fashion...

Now that Nino has shown a cooperative attitude, Fushimi Makoto is naturally happy to offer his help.

He hadn't forgotten the promise he Nakano Maruo.

So the five of them went to the Nakano Family's living room, where they found Ichika lying on the sofa looking completely relaxed. Before Ichika could greet them, Nino said, "After careful discussion, we've decided to work together to improve our grades."

Plop.

The cookie in Nakano Ichika's hand fell to the ground.

Because she was lying down, her raised hand accidentally dropped the cookie, and it fell onto her face with a thud, causing her to let out a soft "Ah!"

But after she uttered that "ah," she didn't sit up. Instead, she remained lying lazily on her back and reached out to pick up a new cookie.

This classic scene of someone suffering from severe laziness was extremely difficult for everyone to maintain, including Fushimi Makoto.

"Ichika, you better watch yourself! You're the older sister, and a young girl at that! Do you even know what a young girl is?"

Nakano Nino couldn't stand it any longer. With a dark face, she went over, picked up the biscuit, and grabbed Ichika's clothes, forcing her to sit up.

Miku and the others also felt an urge to cover their faces; their older sister was so embarrassing.

Fushimi Makoto chuckled, but neither of the girls seemed to be on guard against him as Nino tore at his Ichika.

He remained very calm.

He had already seen all the places he needed to see.
