Today, I'm Going to See What This Is All About!
Nakano Yotsuba said with eyes full of admiration, "I see. As expected of Fushimi, he always manages to come up with something fun."
Nino smiled, about to say something, when she caught a glimpse of Miku beside her, who seemed absent-minded and had an unnatural blush on her face.
"What's wrong?" Nakano Nino couldn't help but lean closer.
Miku Nakano was clearly in low spirits. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
"You don't look tired at all." Nakano Nino frowned, becoming increasingly certain that something was wrong with her sister.
Just then, Nakano Itsuki's concerned voice rang out. "Miku, do you have a cold? And a fever? I used to have similar symptoms when I had a fever."
After she finished speaking, she reached out to touch Miku's forehead, and the latter did not dodge.
"She's definitely hot; she must have a fever," Nakano Itsuki concluded.
Miku Nakano coughed lightly a few times, immediately drawing everyone's attention. She felt slightly uncomfortable. "I forgot to set the timer for the air conditioner yesterday, that's probably why."
Nakano Yotsuba immediately said, "I'll go to the infirmary with you; I don't have any more matches anyway."
As she spoke, she helped Miku up.
Utaha glanced at Miku's less-than-ideal state and immediately suggested, "Why don't you Yotsuba go to the infirmary, get your medicine, and head home? Miku clearly needs rest right now, and since you don't have class today, it'll be better for you to go home and rest early."
"That's right, then I'll go and tell the teacher for you." Nakano Nino quickly got up and left.
Whenever her sisters are in trouble, she's always the first to rush to their aid.
When Fushimi Makoto returned from the basketball court, he saw Yotsuba supporting Miku as they walked towards him.
After figuring out the situation, he simply accompanied the two of them as they left the school.
"Actually, it's enough that I'm here with Miku. Fushimi, don't you have to participate in the afternoon's activities?" Nakano Yotsuba asked with concern.
"It's okay if I don't participate in those kinds of activities; I was just doing it for fun anyway..."
Fushimi Makoto then changed his tone, saying, "Diet is also very important during illness. I happen to have studied this area, so it would be better if I went back with you."
"Thank you for your help." Miku Nakano's eyes were brimming with tears.
Many people saw the three of them leaving the school.
Yukino and the others were among them.
"I just asked Nino, and she said Miku has a fever, so she just took leave and went back home." Eriri Spencer Sawamura held up her phone, taking on the role of an informant.
Sawamura Sayuri was still looking at Fushimi Makoto, and asked in confusion, "Since Miku has someone with her, why is Makoto going along?"
"Diet is very important during illness, and he must have taken that into consideration." Yukino knew Fushimi Makoto quite well.
"I see..." Sawamura Sayuri said absentmindedly.
Yukino and Haruno both noticed this, but as the younger generation, they didn't ask any further questions.
Mrs. Yukinoshita saw it too, but because her best friend always had a lot of ideas, she was too lazy to ask.
In the end, Eriri Spencer Sawamura came to gather information again. "Mom, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Sawamura Sayuri smiled, her expression natural, as if her momentary daze was just an illusion.
Eriri Spencer Sawamura muttered, "Mom's playing the riddle game again. It's so annoying when she only says half of what she means."
Sawamura Sayuri, however, wasn't in the mood to play with her daughter as usual.
She was surprised to discover that she had seen Fushimi Makoto accompany another girl home, and even cook for her. This unexpected reaction made her feel uncomfortable.
This is very wrong!
She kept trying to adjust her mindset, but she just couldn't find peace of mind.
Was it because she had promised to make it up to him by giving him a massage?
The beautiful woman couldn't help but recall what had happened that day.
After being thoroughly humiliated by Fushimi Makoto's words, she barely wanted to talk to him anymore.
But Fushimi Makoto ended up saying, "You'd better keep your word, you slut."
What slut auntie? It's an older sister!
No, the word "scum" doesn't apply to me at all!
She couldn't sleep that night.
My dreams were filled with all sorts of chaotic and bizarre images.
After that, she found herself becoming more and more attached to someone.
She went through the memory very carefully and finally concluded that it was probably because of that "massage incident" that she started to act strangely because of that intimate relationship.
Just like in a capture-the-land game, if you capture someone else's base, then their base becomes yours.
The beautiful woman was now both embarrassed and ashamed.
If my best friend found out about my current state, my life would probably be over, wouldn't it?
But what she didn't know was that her best friend had already gone through something similar before she even experienced this...
On the other side.
Fushimi Makoto first had Yotsuba take Miku home, and on the way, he bought some ingredients and fruit to cook millet porridge.
When Yotsuba led him into the living room, Miku was already resting in the bedroom.
"Are you going to cook porridge now? Do you need my help?" Nakano Yotsuba asked kindly.
"Are you being so studious today?"
"Not just today, but from now on I have to become more diligent and studious. I've made a solemn promise to you, I will strive to become the strongest woman!" Nakano Yotsuba's little face was extremely serious.
Fushimi Makoto nodded. "I'm also looking forward to that day, but you don't need to help with something as simple as cooking porridge, I can do it myself."
"Good."
Nakano Yotsuba stood at the kitchen door for a while, then suddenly blushed and smiled.
She remembered that Fushimi Makoto had once said that she held the same place in his heart as everyone else.
So if I get a fever, he will definitely come over to take care of me.
Nakano Yotsuba chuckled for a while, then ran away shyly.
Fushimi Makoto was busy in the kitchen for a while when he suddenly received a message from Miku Nakano.
Come to my room.
This short sentence seems to contain a significant amount of information.
When Fushimi Makoto entered the girl's bedroom, a smile appeared in Miku Nakano's eyes as she sat leaning against the headboard. He pointed to the chair that had been placed there beforehand and said, "Please sit down."
Her mood seemed much more cheerful; even her small feet, encased in black pantyhose, twitched adorably, revealing her inner turmoil.
Fushimi Makoto's heart skipped a beat; he had a feeling that things might not be so simple.
He tactfully closed the door behind him.
However, he didn't close the door completely, because that would be too deliberate.
Seeing his action, Miku Nakano's slightly flushed face seemed to become even more beautiful.
"You want me to chat with you?" Fushimi Makoto sat down on the edge of the bed, casually glancing at the girl's beautiful legs in black stockings.
Online, people say that stockings are a woman's second skin, but among the girls that Fushimi Makoto knows, it seems that very few of them like stockings.
Apart from Miku Nakano and Utaha, the other girls clearly weren't very interested in stockings.
"I'm so bored sitting here." Miku Nakano's beautiful eyes reflected his face.
Fushimi Makoto understood. "What do you want to talk about? Like that soccer exhibition match we just had, or maybe the recently popular Yumiko?"
He offered to help find topics to talk about.
"I'm not very familiar with Miura," Miku Nakano said.
She was implying that she didn't want to talk about other girls at this time.
Fushimi Makoto put on a serious face. "Then let's talk about the strongest boy in the school."
"If you want to brag to me, I'm happy to be a listener."
Miku Nakano said this, then her tone changed, "But opportunities to be alone like today are rare..."
Fushimi Makoto smiled and got up to sit on the edge of the bed.
As he opened his arms, Miku Nakano shyly leaned closer and nestled into his embrace.
"Unfortunately, I caught a cold," she said, seemingly to herself.
Because I have a cold, we can't kiss.
"Then I'll leave it at that for now, and I'll collect the debt next time," Fushimi Makoto said, his arm around the girl's soft waist.
Miku Nakano hummed in agreement.
Outside the house.
Nakano Yotsuba had just washed her face when she returned to the kitchen doorway, only to find that Fushimi Makoto was nowhere to be found.
Where are the others?
Chapter 329 I'm going to see what's going on today! (Bonus Chapter 2)
Fushimi Makoto didn't do anything else in Miku Nakano's room; the two of them just chatted.
Miku Nakano really enjoyed these opportunities to be alone, where no one bothered her and there was no Ichika or the others competing with her for attention.
She's actually quite grateful that she didn't set a timer for the air conditioner yesterday; if she hadn't caught a cold, she wouldn't have had the chance to be taken care of by Fushimi Makoto today.
Her rosy face was now full of a sweet smile, and her soft, fragrant body leaned against Fushimi Makoto's chest, as if she didn't want to get up anymore.
But Fushimi Makoto was distracted.
Because he sensed that Nakano Yotsuba was right outside the door.
To be precise, Nakano Yotsuba was observing from behind the door!
Fushimi Makoto didn't seem to care. He and Miku hadn't done anything, and even if Yotsuba asked him later, he knew how to answer.
Miku Nakano curled up contentedly, occasionally chatting with Fushimi Makoto about the changes she had undergone recently.
For example, she also felt that her physical fitness had improved. Although she felt that she was still not as good as Yotsuba, she was at least much better than before.
"Exercise is really effective. Ichika and Nino have also noticed my progress. They've been exercising whenever they have free time lately," Miku Nakano told Fushimi Makoto about her sisters.
"Why are there only the two of them? Where are the other two?" Fushimi Makoto.
"She exercises regularly every day in Itsuki, but she never adds extra workouts because she manages her time well. She either reads books or consults with Yukinoshita online."
"That's definitely something she would do."
"As for Yotsuba, she does keep up with her workout routine, but she always feels like she's falling far behind Ichika and the others, so she doesn't really focus her efforts on exercise..."
At this point, Miku Nakano paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "At the beginning, Yotsuba was actually very frustrated because she didn't get the title of the strongest woman you mentioned."
"But she cheered up with your company and encouragement." Fushimi Makoto's senses had already covered the entire house, and he could feel that Miku's body temperature had returned to normal.
"Because we are sisters." Miku Nakano looked up and Fushimi Makoto's gaze. "You said before that the five of us are one, and we can't do without any of us."
"Uh... I did say that." Fushimi Makoto rarely showed any embarrassment.
The purpose of his saying that was essentially to set himself a small goal: to wipe out the Nakano Family in one fell swoop!
As it turned out, Miku Nakano overheard this from someone, and she was clearly moved when she said it.
It's like taking this sentence as a motto for life.
This made Fushimi Makoto feel a little awkward.
Outside the house.
Nakano Yotsuba peeked into the room through the door, her rosy lips unconsciously agape, her eyes filled with unmistakable surprise.
Why is he hugging Miku?
Why does Miku look so happy...? No, this expression seems to be more than just happy; it's kind of like the sweetness I see in dramas?
But I remember he and Ichika were the closest, weren't they?
As many people online have said, Fushimi and Ichika are the real couple.
