With a half-truth and a half-lie, coupled with Fushimi Makoto's feigned ignorance, she really couldn't find a way to deal with it.

After the two arrived in the living room, the other girls from the Nakano Family came over to greet them, and even Nino, who was busy in the kitchen, peeked out and said hello.

Compared to Itsuki's admiration for Yukino, the others had different opinions about Yukino.

Ichika evokes both admiration and caution.

Since Nino didn't know much about Yukino, she remained vigilant along with Ichika.

Miku is quite curious about the relationship between Yukino and Fushimi Makoto.

Yotsuba seems to have no worries at all; she is both lively and friendly.

Since Nino was cooking in the kitchen, Ichika, the eldest sister, took on the task of receiving guests.

She first brought Yukino juice, and before the other could mention the news, she said with a smile, "Nino's cooking skills are excellent. At least in my eyes, she is completely comparable to the head chefs of high-end restaurants."

Yukino took a sip of her juice. "And then?"

"To celebrate our good grades, Nino cooked a big meal today. Yukinoshita, you're in luck!"

"Then I'll thank you for your hospitality in advance," Yukino said calmly.

She decided to hold back and see what other tricks Ichika had up her sleeve.

At that moment, Ichika stood up, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Fushimi Makoto and the others. "Oh, right, I just thought of a really fun little game."

"What game?" Nakano Yotsuba asked enthusiastically.

Nakano Ichika spread her hands. "I have 10,000 yen hidden on me right now. Whoever can guess where I hid the money can have it."

This was also taught by Fushimi Makoto.

"Huh? There's money to be made?"

Yotsuba and Itsuki were quite interested.

Miku looked at Ichika suspiciously, wondering why she was so lively today. Was it because they had guests over?

Fushimi Makoto calmly sipped his tea, as if nothing concerned him.

"Ichika, is your money hidden in your pocket?"

"No, I only have my phone in my pants pocket."

"What about the pockets?"

My clothes don't have pockets~

Seeing that her sisters couldn't guess, Nakano Ichika Yukino, "Yukinoshita, you should come too."

"I'm not interested in this kind of game," Yukino refused outright.

"I know you don't care about the 10,000 yen, but I often tell my sisters that you are the smartest girl I've ever met. If you don't participate now, I'll be embarrassed." Nakano Ichika said with a forced smile.

Yukino frowned. These words sounded like Ichika was mocking herself, but in reality, she was putting herself in a difficult position and even trying to provoke her.

She glanced at Fushimi Makoto, thinking to herself that this was definitely not Ichika could come up with.

"I don't think I have an answer on my face, do I?" Fushimi Makoto paused in his cup-holding motion.

Yukino withdrew her gaze, stared at Ichika for Ichika, and calmly analyzed, "Since you were the one who asked everyone to find the hidden money, you certainly wouldn't put it in an obvious place..."

Her gaze lingered on Nakano Ichika's well-developed chest. "Underwear and slippers, I think it's these two areas."

"I see, no wonder Ichika always praises Yukinoshita." Nakano Yotsuba nodded her little head.

Miku and Itsuki both looked at Ichika's chest at the same time.

Nakano Ichika feigned shyness. "Makoto's still watching, I can't exactly take off my clothes to show you, can I? But what about those slippers you mentioned..."

She smiled and took off her slippers, stepping barefoot onto the ground. She picked up her slippers and shook them, saying, "Look, there's nothing here."

Yukino's expression remained unchanged.

Nakano Ichika said to Fushimi Makoto, "Makoto, could you please turn around first?"

"Okay." Fushimi Makoto turned around.

Nakano Ichika then approached Yukino, lifted her clothes, and asked, "Will you check yourself, or should I show you?"

Faced with the sudden intrusion of the enormous object, Yukino involuntarily leaned back. "Looks like I guessed wrong. The fact that you're willing to let me check means there's no money hidden in your underwear."

"I'll allow you to reach in and check."

Are you showing off your body?

"No, I just wanted you to verify your hypothesis."

"Please put your clothes on properly, otherwise I'll subconsciously think you're frivolous."

Yukino, of course, was unwilling to lend a hand.

Putting aside the fact that she had already realized Ichika's intention to show off her figure, the fact that the other party dared to let her examine him meant that she must have guessed wrong.

"I'll do it!" Yotsuba emerged from the crowd. As Ichika's younger sister, she naturally wouldn't hesitate to do something so trivial.

Fushimi Makoto didn't turn around the entire time, just listened to their conversation, while he remained completely still.

"Huh? There really isn't any money inside." Nakano Yotsuba looked carefully and confirmed that there was none.

Although Yukino wouldn't check it herself, she couldn't help but glance at it when Yotsuba did.

That's shamefully big!

That's what she was thinking.

After Nakano Ichika put the clothes back, Yukino suddenly noticed the cell phone that Ichika had been holding in her hand.

"I see, you hid the money inside your phone case." Yukino guessed the answer.

"Huh? You actually guessed it?" Nakano Ichika exclaimed in surprise as she removed her phone case; sure enough, there was money inside.

Yukino, however, looked thoughtful. "This way of hiding money is not bad. Even if you forget to bring your wallet when you go out, you will still have some money on you in an emergency."

Nakano Ichika was about to agree, Yukino suddenly looked up and said, "This is what Fushimi taught you, right?"

Nakano Ichika choked.

The others quickly looked at Fushimi Makoto, who still had his back to them and hadn't turned around yet.

Just then Nino poked her head out from the kitchen. "Come and bring the dishes, we can eat now!"

Nakano Itsuki was the first to get up; she was hungry.

Without saying Ichika, Ichika stuffed the money into Yukino and followed Miku to serve the dishes.

Yukino, clutching the banknotes in her hand, said to Fushimi Makoto, "Aren't you going to turn around?"

Fushimi Makoto turned around.

Yukino: "Your method of hiding change is really good."

"I learned it from a friend," Fushimi Makoto wasn't lying.

"You've distracted me with these moves, so what are you going to do next?"

"How do you do it?"

"Are you still going to play dumb? Then let me be blunt: how are you going to stop me from practicing Aikido with Ichika?" Yukino's competitive spirit kicked in.

At this moment, the nature of the matter has changed.

Her priority of causing trouble for Ichika dropped; instead, Fushimi Makoto fueled her fighting spirit.

"There's no need to stop them." Fushimi Makoto smiled meaningfully. "A few of them will win you over with their sincerity."

Yukino was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Fushimi Makoto offered no explanation.

Yotsuba and Itsuki get along very well with Yukino.

If they approached Yukino with sincerity and enthusiasm, Fushimi Makoto didn't think the seemingly aloof but kind-hearted Yukino would refuse.

Once she couldn't refuse, she would never have another chance to cause trouble for Ichika.

The outcome was decided from the very beginning; it's just that Yukino, being too caught up in the situation, hasn't realized it yet.

The dinner was very lavish, as guests had come to the house and Nakano Nino had put in all her effort to prepare the best dinner of her life.

"Are you satisfied Yukinoshita? I wasn't lying just now, was Nakano Ichika, as if she were taking credit for her younger sister.

"Nino's cooking skills are indeed excellent." Yukino was always fair.

"Thank you." Nakano Nino smiled; she quite liked it when someone so outstanding praised her.

After dinner, Yukino glanced at the composed Fushimi Makoto, still wondering about what he had just said.

But she soon found the answer.

Nakano Itsuki approached her, wanting to ask her for advice on her studies.

Nakano Yotsuba also sincerely came over to ask how Yukino's filming preparations were going.

Faced with their genuine enthusiasm and expectation, Yukino truly couldn't bring herself to refuse.

She finally looked at Fushimi Makoto, who was looking at her this time as well.

Their eyes met, Fushimi Makoto conveyed a message with his eyes: What, you're not convinced?

Yukino withdrew her gaze expressionlessly.

Damn it, Fushimi, it's that familiar fast-paced combo again!

She had already experienced that firsthand.

But even now, she still can't find a way to counter each move.

Chapter 175 Meow~

The Nakano Family girls still wanted Fushimi Makoto to stay overnight.

To be precise, apart from Yotsuba who hadn't considered the embarrassing aspect, the other four all hoped that Fushimi Makoto stay overnight.

Needless to say, Ichika and Nino were happy to seek out Fushimi Makoto for help.

Miku's mind was full of scientific knowledge.

As for Itsuki, she originally wanted to continue to keep things calm, but her sisters kept it from her, which led her to make up her mind: I'm going to tell my sisters everything!

Unfortunately, they performed very well on the exam, Nakano Maruo called shortly after dinner.

He first expressed his gratitude to Fushimi Makoto over the phone, and then said that he would bring a gift over around 7 p. m.

He learned the habit of bringing gifts from his subordinates and colleagues.

He was even a little proud of it.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Nakano father and daughter will be having a meal together over the next few days, so Fushimi Makoto will not be able to stay overnight.

Although Nakano Maruo now has a very good impression of Fushimi Makoto, good impressions do not mean that he will allow boys to stay overnight at his daughter's house.

Fushimi Makoto and Yukino stayed at the Nakano Family until six o'clock before leaving.

Because Yotsuba and Itsuki suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Yukino never had a chance to teach Ichika.

This made Ichika very smug.

When she saw Fushimi Makoto and the other man to the door, she almost couldn't help but put her hands on her hips.

Fortunately, she didn't do that, otherwise Fushimi Makoto would have had to come up with a solution to "save Private Ichika" again.

Yukino remained silent after leaving the apartment. Fushimi Makoto, assuming her competitive spirit was still at play, asked, "Are you still thinking about Ichika?"

"No, I was thinking about you." Yukino gave an unexpected answer.

"My business?"

"That's right."

Yukino suddenly smiled.

That smile was clearly the kind of mocking laughter that comes from someone amused.

She said slowly, "Tanabata is coming soon. Have you thought about how you're going to face those girls who like you, you womanizing Fushimi-kun?"
