Punishment

Nino feigned composure and said, "Of course we care because you didn't answer."

"So, Makoto, what's your answer?" Ichika in perfect unison.

They truly are sisters.

Fushimi Makoto inhaled their familiar scent and said, "I haven't actually decided yet."

"Is it that you really haven't thought it through, or do you prefer my aesthetic, but you don't want to disappoint Nino, so you don't want to say it out loud?" Ichika began to seize the initiative.

Nino immediately looked over, her eyes sharp, about to lash out, Fushimi Makoto's arms around their waists suddenly tightened.

The two sisters' train of thought was immediately disrupted.

Seizing the opportunity again, Fushimi Makoto said jokingly, "If you insist on an answer, then I can only say..."

He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, causing the two girls to unconsciously look up.

When he met those two beautiful eyes, he said, "I'm not very interested in dressing up. Compared to your problems, I think the most important thing is for the three of us to live our lives well."

Two girls. "???"

What an absurd answer!

Or is he implying something?

Ichika and Nino's train of thought has gone awry again.

Fushimi Makoto's expression remained unchanged, knowing that they were finally going to quiet down.

At least for the rest of the time, they never brought up the question again.

After the movie ended, Fushimi Makoto released them, saying, "The movie was alright. By the way, I'll go tidy up your guest rooms first. You can take a shower now if you want."

"Oh." X2

Fushimi Makoto got up and walked away. The two girls were silent for a while, then tacitly decided to take a bath first.

They both had things they wanted to say, and the bathroom happened to be a private space.

The two entered the bathroom one after the other. Once the bathtub was full of water, they each took off their clothes and quietly stepped into the tub.

About five minutes later, Ichika, who was soaking in the bathtub, finally spoke up, "Nino, are you really not going back tonight?"

Nakano Nino calmly replied, "I'm not leaving unless you go home."

"I knew it would be like this... Honestly, how could you go to such lengths? How come I never thought of that before?" Ichika sighed, her feelings were truly complicated.

"Because you used to focus all your energy on Makoto and Yukinoshita," Nino bluntly pointed out.

Nakano Ichika was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "I've actually talked to Yukinoshita many times."

Nakano Nino didn't find it strange; these two filmed together every day, it would be strange if they didn't interact.

Nakano Ichika continued, "You know what? Yukinoshita once told me that Makoto has too many beautiful girls around him, and only a fool would date him."

Nino was clearly surprised this time. "She said something like that? But Itsuki told me..."

"Itsuki told you that Yukinoshita and I often clash, right?" Ichika laughed, annoyed. "Itsuki is clearly my ally, so why is she always trying to help you?"

Nakano Nino was stunned. "You also asked Itsuki for help? No wonder you were always bringing Itsuki treats during that time."

Nakano Ichika exclaimed in surprise, "So you're one of them too..."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Nakano Ichika couldn't hold back her laughter and tears, saying, "It seems we really are sisters; we even found the same ally."

Nakano Nino smiled helplessly, "Because besides you and me, only Itsuki and Makoto are truly familiar with each other..."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, her face showing suspicion. "Do you think it's possible that Itsuki also had 'that'?"

"Probably not. Itsuki is a good girl; she's very oblivious in this area. She probably doesn't even know what love is," Nakano Ichika said subconsciously.

Nakano Nino did not voice her doubts.

At least for now, she doesn't completely trust Itsuki, but she also needs her sister as an ally.

Just then, Nakano Ichika suddenly laughed, "Speaking of which, neither of us seems to be as good as Yukinoshita except for our figures."

Nakano Nino frowned and said, "I don't think so."

Nakano Ichika's eyes flickered. "So, you're willing to fight against Yukinoshita with me?"

"Why are you jumping around in your topics so much... Wait, could it be that you're Ichika?"

Nakano Nino was stunned.

She didn't even have the nerve to finish her sentence.

Nakano Ichika's tone remained unchanged. "You're definitely not planning to give up, are you?"

"Certainly!"

Although Nakano Nino was very surprised, she was still able to answer the question firmly.

"In that case, shall we join forces?" Nakano Ichika's voice trailed off, her cheeks already flushed with a captivating blush.

Nakano Nino's cheeks also turned rosy.

She looked away, embarrassed and annoyed. "Ichika, are you really a young girl? How can you talk about such a daring topic?"

"Because you've made up your mind not to give up, what can I do?"

Nakano Ichika sighed in distress and said slowly, "Yukinoshita is an outsider, but we are sisters. Since there's no other way, I can only choose to believe in you."

Nakano Nino blushed.

Ichika is incredibly bold!

What do you mean by "willing to believe me"? I can tell you clearly think you can't beat me, so you're just saying things on purpose.

Nakano Nino blushed and lost in thought, Ichika suddenly asked, "How far have you and Makoto gotten?"

"Ha?"

Nakano Nino turned around abruptly and saw Ichika staring at her with great concern.

She couldn't help but ask, "Ichika, are you really determined to be shameless?"

Nakano Ichika didn't say anything, she just stared at her.

His eyes were incredibly intense, filled with an undisguised curiosity.

Seeing her sister's expression, Nakano Nino secretly clenched her hands into fists underwater, as if she had made up her mind. "Makoto and I have already kissed."

"That's it?" Nakano Ichika blinked.

Nakano Nino's expression changed drastically, and she pointed an incredulously at her sister's face. "Could it be that you..."

Nakano Ichika's cheeks were flushed, but her smile was extremely calm, "Yes, Makoto and I have a secret."

Nakano Nino bit her lip. Is this funny? All I see is a shameless older sister boldly expressing her embarrassing sentiments in front of her younger sister.

She could tell that Ichika definitely wouldn't stay obediently in the guest room tonight.

What should I do then?

Still defending against Ichika as before?

Or perhaps, sneak out with Ichika in the middle of the night?

Nakano Nino's breathing became rapid, her chest heaving.

She couldn't deny that, besides shame, she felt mostly excitement and... a strong desire to try.

Nakano Ichika's "declaration of taking the lead" undoubtedly spurred her on, so although she is currently struggling with her decision, she is more inclined to the latter idea.

The two took longer to shower this time than ever before.

When the two women emerged one after the other in bathrobes, Fushimi Makoto, who had been waiting in the living room, said, "The guest room is clean, and I've also brought two new sets of toiletries."

"Thank you," Nakano Ichika replied with a smile.

After drying their hair, the two watched TV in the living room for a while before going back to their room.

Lying on the soft, large bed, Nakano Ichika turned off the ceiling light and only turned on the small bedside lamp.

She turned to look at Nino beside her and found that the other girl's eyes were closed and she wasn't saying a word.

"You're going to sleep already?" Nakano Ichika, somewhat puzzled.

Nakano Nino her eyes still closed, said, "Yes, I'm asleep."

Nakano Ichika: "..."

Well, after all this time, she's still angry about what I just said.

Nakano Ichika laughed and threw back the covers, "Now that you're asleep, I'm going to get to work..."

Before she could finish speaking, the doorknob suddenly turned.

The two sisters were both stunned.

We were still debating whether or not to raid your place at night, and you ended up showing up at our door on your own initiative?

As soon as the door opened, Fushimi Makoto's figure came into Ichika's sight.

The reason there was only Ichika was because Nino mind was in a mess, didn't open her eyes when she heard the door open and continued to keep her eyes tightly closed.

Fushimi Makoto noticed Nino's trembling eyelashes and immediately understood.

He deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Nino asleep?"

Nakano Ichika couldn't suppress her smile, and she lowered her voice, "Yes, she's asleep."

Nakano Nino's fist, hidden under the blanket, hardened.

Chapter 124 Punishment

Fushimi Makoto had no idea what the two sisters had talked about in the bathroom, but his earlier action of "bouncing a ball" in the living room had actually given him some clues.

He could guess that Ichika definitely wanted to launch a night raid, but with Nino watching nearby, the success rate of such a thing was not high at all.

So he came straight over.

On the one hand, he wanted to figure out what the two girls were thinking; on the other hand, he was taking the initiative to deliver the goods to their door, so he didn't need Ichika to rack her brains to sneak away again.

He just heard Ichika say with a smile, "Nino is asleep," and then he looked at Nino was still pretending to be asleep.

Everything is already quite obvious.

Fushimi Makoto closed the door behind him, and when he turned back, Nakano Ichika had already lifted the covers and was openly patting the bed.

This gesture would be incredibly alluring under normal circumstances.

But the situation is different now.

Nakano Ichika was clearly doing this on purpose for Nino's benefit.

As Fushimi Makoto slowly and deliberately slipped into bed, he immediately felt Nino's arm tighten beside him.

Nakano Ichika turned down the brightness of the small lamp, snuggled into Fushimi Makoto's arms like a cat, and muttered softly, "Why did you suddenly come over?"

You're still going to act, right?

Fushimi Makoto was surrounded by their light and pleasant hair fragrance.

He gently placed his hand on Ichika soft waist and said in a low voice, "I knew you wouldn't be able to stay still tonight, so I came over first."

Nakano Ichika tilted her head back, her delicate face and charming eyes seemingly veiled in a hazy mist.

Her smile was no longer the bright one she usually wore; instead, it held a hint of alluring moisture. "You guessed wrong. Actually, I'm not Ichika, I'm Nino."

Nino, standing nearby. "?"

Fushimi Makoto laughed and said, "If you are Nino, then who is the person to my right?"

"Of course she's Ichika. After all, you already knew. All five of us are good at impersonating each other," Nakano Ichika smile.

"So, before I even arrived, you had already conspired to impersonate each other to deceive me?"

"Yes, right now both my hair and hers are wigs."

The two of them deliberately kept their voices down, but Nino lay beside them pretending to be asleep. Unless she was deaf, she wouldn't be able to hear them.

That's why, at this moment Nakano Nino's only thought was: Ichika is really going all out?
