I'm Itsuki, Not Nino

Fushimi Makoto stared into Nakano Itsuki's eyes and silently mouthed: Are you sure you want this?

Nakano Itsuki looked pleasantly surprised, knowing that he wouldn't expose her.

The girl hesitated for only a second before shyly nodding her chin.

Want!

Chapter 187 I am Itsuki, not Nino

Fushimi Makoto woke up a little before 5 a. m.

To be precise, he wasn't sleepy around four o'clock, but because it was so early and the two girls next to him were also fast asleep, he closed his eyes for a nap.

Nakano Nino... no, it should be Nakano Itsuki, who was lying on his right side at that moment.

Inside the quiet room, you could hear her and Ichika's steady breathing. The girl's sleeping face was quite adorable, her gentleness mixed with a charm she had never had before.

The temperature wasn't cold this season, so she wasn't fully covered by her blanket, revealing her smooth, rounded shoulders and firm, delicate skin that shimmered like pearls in the room.

Her slender arms were still Fushimi Makoto, and her full-figured body leaned closer in her sleep. The fragrance of her hair and the alluring scent emanating from her body seemed to constantly tug at Fushimi Makoto's heartstrings, guiding him to relive and yearn for the scenes of the previous night.

Even though the room was dimly lit, Fushimi Makoto still saw the tear tracks on Nakano Itsuki's face.

He recalled the girl's appearance last night: After making up her mind, Nakano Itsuki tensed up with tears in her eyes. In order not to be seen through by Ichika, she did something she had never dared to think of before.

Fushimi Makoto still remembers her, exhausted and almost asleep, stubbornly murmuring, "I am Itsuki, I am not Nino."

"I know."

Having received a response from Fushimi Makoto, the exhausted Itsuki finally fell asleep peacefully.

To be honest, Fushimi Makoto is still somewhat surprised.

He truly hadn't expected Nakano Itsuki to go to this extent.

At the same time, he realized that the "Nino" who pulled him to take pictures near the hotel yesterday was obviously Itsuki in disguise.

He could roughly guess why Itsuki did this.

Itsuki may have discovered Ichika and Nino's collaboration, or she may have accidentally stumbled upon Miku seeking her knowledge.

Seeing that her sisters were all sneaking off, she naturally decided to stay in Bengbu.

What upset her even more was that not only did her older sisters sneak off, but they also didn't include her in their playtime.

The five of them lived together every day and knew each other very well, so it made sense that Itsuki Fushimi Makoto discovered something.

Just then, a lazy hum interrupted Fushimi Makoto's thoughts.

It sounded like Itsuki was humming unconsciously in her sleep.

To Fushimi Makoto, Nakano Itsuki snuggled against him and seemed poised to continue sleeping, but after a few seconds, the girl drowsily opened her eyes.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Nakano Itsuki was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.

As if she had just remembered what had happened last night, she first looked down and saw that she was indeed not wearing any clothes and the blanket was only covering her a little bit. She quickly blushed and grabbed the blanket to cover herself.

So cute!

Fushimi Makoto thought this to himself, but didn't say anything to tease him, "It's still early, you can go back to sleep."

Nakano Itsuki, her cheeks flushed, said, "I'll find some time to nap when I get to school."

"Aren't you going to ask for leave?" Fushimi Makoto couldn't help but remind him, "This is your first time, and you should be resting."

Hearing the keyword "first time," Nakano Itsuki felt her body heat up again.

She was too shy to Fushimi Makoto's gaze and said softly, "Actually, it's okay. Except for the beginning... it hurt a lot, but I'm completely fine now."

Fushimi Makoto thought she was just being stubborn, and his expression turned serious. "It's probably because you're still lying down. Once you get out of bed and move around, you'll feel uncomfortable, so I still suggest you take a day off."

"... I really don't need to ask for leave."

Nakano Itsuki understood that he cared about her, and, suppressing her shyness, she raised her small face, murmuring with a mixture of reproach and delight, "I know my own body best."

Then she emphasized, "I really don't feel any pain now, not even any discomfort. I feel just like usual."

Fushimi Makoto, certain that she wasn't lying, immediately became suspicious.

Could it be that Itsuki eats more, so her constitution is better than Ichika's and the others?

Etc.

Constitution!

Fushimi Makoto realized the key point.

According to his hypothesis, Itsuki may have discovered Ichika and the others' sneaking away beforehand, and in her anger and resentment, Itsuki may have also had some fantasies.

[Fantasy Badge] can improve your physical condition by having close contact with them.

If Nakano Itsuki has been fantasizing too much lately, then her physical functions have probably improved considerably last night.

Given that, it's not surprising that she doesn't feel any discomfort at all.

"What's wrong with you?"

Nakano Itsuki saw him suddenly fall silent, she thought something had happened, and her beautiful eyes were full of concern.

"Sorry, I was just spacing out." Fushimi Makoto out and touched the girl's hair.

He then discovered that after a night of fussing, Itsuki's wig was almost falling off...

Nakano Itsuki was enjoying the warmth of his hands when she suddenly heard him whisper, "Don't move, let me fix your hair."

"... oh."

Nakano Itsuki found himself in an awkward situation.

Fushimi Makoto helped her fix her hair before saying, "Are you planning to let Ichika know about this?"

"No." Nakano Itsuki shook her head decisively.

Fushimi Makoto understood and said, "Then I'll wait until you're awake before leaving."

"Why?"

There are stains on the sheets.

"... I see."

Nakano Itsuki was incredibly embarrassed, thinking to herself that she should have known better than to ask.

The two lingered there for a while. Listening to the other's heartbeat, Nakano Itsuki couldn't help but look up and realize that Fushimi Makoto was also looking at her.

She blinked shyly, her long eyelashes slowly closing, and her body gradually moved closer.

"That..."

She opened her lips hesitantly, but seemed too embarrassed to finish her sentence.

Fushimi Makoto guessed what she was thinking and smiled as he reached out and cupped her delicate face in his hands.

Nakano Itsuki's neck was also stained crimson, but she didn't resist at all. Instead, she tilted her head back and pressed her luscious lips against it.

A good morning kiss—this was a scene she had fantasized about many times.

To her delight, Fushimi Makoto understood her meaning without her having to explain it.

I wish time could stand still at this moment, never moving forward.

Nakano Itsuki rarely had such a capricious idea.

At 6:30 a. m., the two girls left the room one after the other.

Fushimi Makoto paid special attention and found that Nakano Itsuki had truly recovered completely, and walked as if nothing had changed.

Because Itsuki didn't want to be exposed, she made an excuse to decline Ichika's invitation to take a bath and returned to her bedroom alone.

Fushimi Makoto was very familiar with everything in the house. He picked up the sheets and duvet cover and threw them into the washing machine, completely destroying the "evidence".

After he finished doing that, he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the girls.

Nakano Ichika just came out of the bathroom; she had just filled the bathtub with water and hadn't sat down yet.

She glanced at the quiet living room and, finding that her sisters were still asleep, felt relieved before heading to the washing machine.

She figured the guest room needed cleaning, and since she also had clothes to wash, she might as well wash them together.

"Huh? Has Makoto already taken off the duvet cover and sheets?"

Nakano Ichika glanced at the running washing machine, didn't think much of it, reached out and pressed the pause button, then threw her nightgown from the previous night inside.

Just as she was about to close the washing machine lid, she casually glanced inside out of the corner of her eye.

With just a glance, she happened to see something that took her by surprise.

"That's... a bloodstain?"

Nakano Ichika was stunned for a full three seconds.

Her CPU almost burned out at that moment.

Neither I Nino were injured or bumped into anything last night, so how could there be blood on the sheets?

Wrong!

I remember the mark in this spot; it should be where Nino lay last night.

Nakano Ichika remained completely bewildered.

Nino's first time?

Are you kidding me? Nino has cheated on me more than once, even on the day she did it.

At this moment, Nakano Ichika was like Sherlock Holmes who had discovered a suspicious clue, her mind working at high speed unconsciously.

However, after thinking about it carefully for a while, she could only recall a few details.

Because she was so busy charging her batteries last night, she didn't have the energy to pay attention to Nino until she was completely exhausted and lying in bed defeated.

But at that stage, she was completely immersed in feelings of pleasure and exhaustion, and even if she wanted to pay attention to what was happening around her, she couldn't help it.

"What exactly happened? Wasn't Nino the person last night? Or is the stuff on the sheets not blood, but something else?"

Nakano Ichika returned to the bathroom with a bellyful of questions.

After sitting in the warm bathtub, she finally made a decision.

So after everyone had a satisfying breakfast, Nakano Ichika took the opportunity to pull Nino aside.

But before she could even test the waters, Nino lowered her voice and said angrily, "Did you accidentally fall asleep again yesterday?"

"Huh?"

"Honestly, you did the same thing last time, and you did it again yesterday. Ichika, are you even capable of anything?"

"Ah?"

"You're playing dumb again! I've told you before, those little tricks of pretending to be stupid won't work on me."

"..."

After a brief silence, Nakano Ichika forced a smile, "I'm sorry, I've been too tired from filming lately."

Nakano Nino sighed, "I knew it would be like this. Oh well, there will be other opportunities in the future. Take good care of yourself and don't ruin your health, so I don't have to take time off to take care of you."

"Thank you, Nino."

"I'm going to change my clothes first; it's time to go to school."

"Um."

Nakano Ichika watched Nino return to her room and took a deep breath.

As expected, that person last night wasn't Nino!

So what is her real identity?

Miku?

Is it still Itsuki?

Nakano Ichika is having a bit of a headache.
