They're All So Eager to Improve

Nakano Ichika guessed the truth: Nino was probably obsessed with it.

I knew it!

You were hesitating just now, but now that you've tasted the sweetness, I don't think you'll ever want to leave.

Nakano Ichika imagined embarrassing scenes, and she herself started to have some thoughts about them.

Just then, the door was pushed open, Miku Nakano's beautiful legs in black stockings stepped in first.

"Isn't Fushimi-kun here?" She looked around in confusion.

Nakano Ichika remained silent.

Miku Nakano looked on with a recollection. "I remember you just pulled him in, Ichika, where's Fushimi-kun?"

Nakano Ichika's mind raced. "I was just working on a new script."

"Um?"

Miku Nakano looked puzzled; she didn't understand why her sister was talking about this.

Nakano Ichika remained calm. "I was just working on the plot of the heroine's reaction after a robber breaks into the house. Since Miku is here, you can play the robber."

A question mark appeared above Miku Nakano's head.

Nakano Ichika pretended not to see. "Under normal circumstances, if a robber suddenly breaks in, the female protagonist would definitely be terrified and anxious, hoping that someone would come to rescue her, right?"

"I don't quite understand why you're saying this, but it was definitely portrayed that way in the TV series." Miku Nakano nodded subconsciously.

Nakano Ichika smiled and said, "So, in this critical moment, the hero hidden in the wardrobe will descend from the sky."

As she finished speaking, the wardrobe door was suddenly pushed open.

Fushimi Makoto stepped forward with a serious expression. "That's right, I'm in charge of playing the hero."

Miku Nakano: "???"

As for Nino, before Fushimi Makoto cooperate, she had already escaped to the other side of the wardrobe, hiding her entire body inside Ichika's clothes.

Nakano Ichika secretly gave Fushimi Makoto an approving look.

If the other party doesn't cooperate and come out, she really won't be able to get Miku to leave, since the other party saw Fushimi Makoto the house with their own eyes.

Nakano Ichika Miku and said, "This scene is on the script I'm studying."

Miku Nakano reached out blankly, then unconsciously withdrew her hand, pressing it against her fair chin, hesitant to speak.

Finally, she stared blankly at Fushimi Makoto and the other man.

You can't hide the urge to hit someone in your eyes.

Chapter 129 They were too eager to improve.

"Everyone's test results are in, and as I expected, Itsuki was the best month."

At 2:30 p. m., in the Nakano Family's living room, Fushimi Makoto looked at the five girls sitting in a row opposite him and announced the results of the test.

"It really is Itsuki."

The girls weren't surprised; they had all heard about Yukino explaining the problems to Itsuki.

"Who came in second?" Nakano Ichika asked curiously.

Apart from Itsuki, who was smiling, everyone else looked at Fushimi Makoto.

Fushimi Makoto: "I will only announce the first-place result."

"Huh? How could this be?"

"If you also want your results to be announced, then go for first place. I've already set all the spotlight there."

"Oh, that sounds interesting!" Nakano Yotsuba exclaimed enthusiastically.

Ichika and the others didn't bother to reply, their faces showing expressions of "Why are you suddenly acting like a chuunibyou?"

Fushimi Makoto waved his hand dismissively. "I already know your strengths and weaknesses. Everyone, take a fifteen-minute break, then we'll begin our tutoring."

"Okay." X5

The short film was successfully broadcast, and even Ichika, who was lazy in her studies, no longer resisted.

Needless to say, Nino is still thinking about taking the lead.

After the three of them slept together last time, her desire to surpass Ichika became even stronger.

So what if she's a female knight? I can do that too!

Nakano Nino is full of fighting spirit.

The girls dispersed, and Fushimi Makoto opened his study notes to prepare.

At that moment, Miku Nakano walked over. Without saying hello, she simply sat down next to Fushimi Makoto.

Fushimi Makoto, inhaling the girl's alluring hair fragrance, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Miku Nakano's face was expressionless. "What were you and Ichika doing inside just now?"

Fushimi Makoto: "Didn't Ichika already say that I'm giving her extra tutoring, working on the script together?"

Miku Nakano, but finding no flaw in his statement, she said calmly, "I don't believe it."

She was utterly shocked by the scene where Fushimi Makoto jumped out of the closet.

She even went back out, opened the door again, and came back in.

This behavior, which resembled exploiting a refresh bug, clearly demonstrated her inner doubts.

I knew you wouldn't believe me.

Fushimi Makoto calmly opened the bag next to the sofa, asking, "You probably already know that Ichika passed the audition, right?"

"Yes, she got the role she wanted, and everyone is very happy." Miku Nakano nodded.

"This is indeed something to celebrate, but she's a newcomer, so she won't have many scenes or lines. I guess she'll just be cannon fodder in that script."

"Cannon fodder?" Miku Nakano tilted her head in confusion, a gesture that made her look quite adorable.

Fushimi Makoto explained, "Ichika is acting in a traditional Japanese horror film. Although I haven't read the script, she's mostly responsible for playing a 'brain-dead teammate' to drive the plot forward, thereby achieving the suspenseful effect of the ghosts scaring people, and incidentally, to highlight the protagonist's aura."

"Oh, I know that," Miku Nakano responded at first, then asked with a puzzled look, "But what does that have to do with my question?"

"I'm just looking for evidence for you."

After finishing speaking, Fushimi Makoto took out a stack of documents that weren't very thick from his bag.

Miku Nakano was taken aback. "What is this?"

"I've been having nothing to do these past few days, so I just rushed out a new script. But this script isn't for a short film, it's for a movie, so we definitely can't make it." Fushimi Makoto handed over the file.

Miku Nakano reached out and took it in surprise, glancing down at the first page, which clearly bore the title: The Sixth Sense.

She read it aloud softly, her left hand unconsciously touching the earphone around her neck. "You want to tell me that you really were giving Ichika lessons before, because you even brought the new script with you?"

"That's right." Fushimi Makoto advantage, trying to distract her. "Although we can't film this script, if you want to get some experience, I can try to take you to visit the set often."

Miku Nakano was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Is this also a horror movie?"

"To be precise, this is a story about family love disguised as a horror film."

"If Ichika knew, she would be even happier."

Miku Nakano didn't open the script; she returned it.

She now believed Fushimi Makoto's explanation.

She had such a good impression of the other person, and he was reliable in his work, that after their conversation, she stopped having any doubts.

"By the way, do you want to know who came in second in the test?" Fushimi Makoto suddenly lowered his voice.

Miku Nakano's beautiful eyes sparkled. "Didn't you say you wouldn't announce it?"

Fushimi Makoto feigned mystery. "I really didn't plan to announce it, but since you were the first person to come to me after the test results came out, I can share this secret with you."

Secret?

Miku Nakano seemed to be thinking about something, or perhaps because the word "secret" was too intimate, her cheeks flushed slightly, but curiosity unconsciously welled up in her eyes. "Who came in second?"

"It's you," Fushimi Makoto said.

Miku Nakano was stunned.

Her first thought was that Fushimi Makoto was trying to make her happy.

But Fushimi Makoto preemptively said, "I'm not lying to you, apart from Itsuki, your grades are the best."

"... That's impossible."

Miku Nakano murmured.

Ichika had also heard that Yukino had forced her to tutor her.

How did I end up second in this test?

Fushimi Makoto offered no further explanation.

But he knew why.

Previously, Ichika and Nino were only thinking about doing naughty things; one was kissing and touching herself in the house, and the other had even taken off her sportswear in the closet.

In this situation, it would be a miracle if they were even thinking about doing their homework.

Miku Nakano was still in a daze and surprised, she suddenly felt a warmth on her head and felt an extra hand.

She looked up instinctively, her eyes wide with surprise.

Fushimi Makoto only said one sentence, "Keep it up, keep it up."

Miku Nakano blushed for some reason and softly hummed in agreement.

Although her tone carried a hint of shyness, she was truly determined to continue.

At the very least, I can't let Fushimi down.

Miku Nakano recalled the encouragement the other person had given her, and the words they had spoken in the living room in front of her sisters, and her eyes hardened.

Fifteen minutes later, the five girls from the Nakano Family returned to the living room.

When Fushimi Makoto brought over the small blackboard, Nakano Ichika, propping her chin on her hand, asked with a smile, "Makoto, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"Then let's not talk about it." Fushimi Makoto didn't even turn his head.

Nakano Ichika, however, was far from being honest. She laughed and said, "Although we'd all love to listen to your lectures, you should know that we really don't have any talent in this area."

"There's no enthusiasm either," Nakano Nino slightly embarrassed.

"I'm actually really looking forward to Fushimi-kun's tutoring class." Nakano Yotsuba shook her head, the ribbon on her head swaying with it.

Miku Nakano sat upright, her beautiful legs in black stockings perfectly positioned, with a pen and study notes in front of her.

Nakano Itsuki also had a very serious expression on her face.

Clearly, apart from Ichika and Nino, everyone else had different ideas.

To this, Fushimi Makoto calmly replied, "Don't worry, I'll help you ignite your passion."

Then he pulled a bottle of Powerful Red Bull from his pocket. "If you're tired, you can drink this."

Ichika and Nino still lacked fighting spirit.

Until Fushimi Makoto began his speech in the living room...

Five girls were writing furiously, their faces resolute. Anyone who didn't know them would think they were top students secretly competing against each other.

Fushimi Makoto adjusted his position, took out his phone, snapped a photo of them, and sent it to Nakano Maruo.

Ten minutes later, Nakano Maruo replied to the message: [Sorry, I was seeing patients just now. They're studying so seriously, are you sure this isn't staged?]

Fushimi Makoto: [Mr. Nakano knows how to pose for photos?]

Nakano Maruo: [Ever since you helped me get closer to my daughters, I've made a point of learning about you young people.]

Fushimi Makoto: [Then why don't you take another close look at that photo? Aside from Ichika, who has the talent to become a top-tier actress, do you think anyone else could reach that level through acting alone?]

Nakano Maruo: [Nino and the others really didn't seem to be acting; it was my oversight, I'm sorry. But the fact that they were so serious shows you're really good at tutoring.]

Fushimi Makoto: [It's not that I'm good at tutoring, it's just that they're so eager to improve.]
