Yukino: I'll Keep My Eyes on You All

"I'm not kidding, your daughter, Nakano Nino, is being chased by four police cars... I checked online, and it seems she and that Fushimi classmate have been engaged in a high-speed chase for about half an hour."

Nakano Maruo's expression grew increasingly grim.

He didn't believe such an absurd rumor, even though he had heard others talking about it during the day.

But he just wouldn't believe it.

But as soon as his friend placed the video on his phone in front of him, he spat out the mouthful of tea he had just taken a sip of.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Nakano Maruo dramatically, unusually losing his composure.

But as his friend produced more and more videos of the incident, he finally fell silent.

Nakano Maruo fell into thinking.

He gradually lost the ability to think.

He eventually gave up thinking about it.

"Four police cars in total... Did that child and Nino break some heavenly law?"

Chapter 374 Yukino: I will always be watching over you

Initially, the movie "Deadly Speeding," starring Fushimi Makoto and Nakano Nino, only circulated in a small area.

But as more and more videos appeared online, the incident gradually spread throughout the country.

Even Yukino and her group, who were enjoying a ski resort in Shizuoka Prefecture, stopped skiing and instead spent their time in the rest area reading the news on their phones.

"Nino, this is too reckless," Nakano Ichika said, both amused and exasperated, but her tone only showed surprise, not anxiety or worry.

The same was true for the other girls in the Nakano Family.

Based on their understanding of Nino, they were able to roughly deduce the whole story.

"It's simply because Makoto spoils Nino too much, so he just gave in to her desire to take this opportunity to seek excitement," Miku Nakano concluded.

Yukino nodded in understanding.

She didn't know much about Nakano Nino; she had just thought that Fushimi Makoto was just trying to cause trouble.

"Ichika, should we go back now?" Nakano Itsuki couldn't help but interject.

"Yukinoshita, what do you think?" Nakano Ichika posed the question to Yukino, feeling that the latter should have more experience than herself.

Yukino calmly said, "We don't need to worry about anything, and we don't need to care about anything."

"Are you sure you don't need to? Dad called me just now, but I didn't dare answer," Nakano Itsuki hesitated.

Nakano Ichika smiled and hugged her sister's arm, "Don't worry, Itsuki. Since Makoto hasn't contacted us, and Yukinoshita said so too, it means we can continue to play without worry."

"Anyway, it'll be over tomorrow," Miku Nakano chimed in.

Nakano Yotsuba was a little embarrassed. "Although Fushimi said that everything would be over after today, I still feel a little sorry for Dad."

"Do you want to continue playing with everyone?" Nakano Ichika grin.

"Yes!" Nakano Yotsuba made her decision instantly and joined the group.

A day later, the five Nakano Family sisters were shocked to find that time had indeed returned to the starting point. They were also overjoyed.

This means they have a lot more time than others to work hard and become stronger.

However, everyone had already agreed beforehand that they would play for two days first, and then everyone would get back to work.

Yukino could tell that Ichika and the others weren't just going through the Ichika; these five were genuinely determined, so she was willing to relax with them for two days.

This morning, the four girls from the Nakano Family went to the city again for "illegal flights," having become fascinated with using Bamboo-copter to travel.

There are only four because Itsuki is still at home, and she is working with Yukino to make up a study plan for the rest of the month.

Fushimi Makoto was mainly responsible for listening in.

"So, you plan to spend all your time studying and not do anything else?" Yukino admired this girl even more.

"Well, I want to improve my grades and work harder, and this happens to be your strength, so I have no choice but to ask you for help." Nakano Itsuki's face was extremely serious.

Yukino nodded. "In that case, you'll study with me tomorrow."

"Thank you." Nakano Itsuki thanked her happily at first, then thought of her older sisters.

Fushimi Makoto once told them, "The five of you are a whole; none of you can be missing."

Later, Ichika also said this, and over time, all five sisters came to agree with this viewpoint.

Therefore, Nakano Itsuki was somewhat conflicted at this moment. "Can Ichika and the others also study with you?"

"If they really have that idea, I certainly don't mind."

Yukino adopted an expression that said, "Teaching one is teaching, teaching five is also teaching."

But she quickly added, "But I don't think their plans are necessarily the same as yours."

"That's what I think too," Fushimi Makoto interjected.

Nakano Itsuki stared blankly at the two who seemed to understand each other perfectly. "Did they tell you?"

"No," Yukino answered first. "My observation skills are pretty good. I was able to tell a long time ago that out of the five of you, you were the only one whose focus was on reading."

Then, she glanced at Fushimi Makoto, signaling him to speak.

Fushimi Makoto laughed and said, "You already have the answer in your heart, so why don't you tell me?"

Yukino didn't refuse. "Ichika will probably spend all her time honing her acting skills. At least when it comes to acting, everyone can see her passion and determination. I haven't had much contact with Nino and Miku, but I can roughly guess that they probably already have these thoughts in mind, they just haven't said them out loud."

Nakano Itsuki nodded subconsciously, her ahoge (cowlick) bobbing as she spoke, "Yotsuba would probably go with everyone else; she was like that when she was little."

Yukino's lips curled into a smile, "So, you're the only one willing to focus on your studies."

Coincidentally, Yukino also frantically reads the inner volumes of the book.

Although she was used to making progress on her own, she would certainly not refuse to study with a serious, honest girl who was also to her liking.

Just then, a cell phone rang. Fushimi Makoto glanced at his phone and calmly said, "Aunt Yukinoshita calling."

Yukino and Nakano Itsuki both wore expressions of helplessness.

Clearly, the news of Ichika and the others flying around in the sky had spread again.

In the evening, at Nakano Itsuki's suggestion, everyone went to the most upscale restaurant in the city center for a meal.

"It's delicious, but why do I feel that Makoto's cooking is a little better?"

After the meal, Nakano Ichika shared her thoughts on the matter.

Apart from Itsuki still grumbling that "you're disrespecting food," everyone else had similar opinions.

However, Miku Nakano was more Fushimi Makoto's glowing dishes.

It tastes good, looks good, and even glows – with these three things combined, it's hard not to leave a deep impression on her.

After witnessing so many amazing things, she subconsciously assumed that the glowing dishes were also one of Fushimi Makoto's secrets, and she wouldn't tell her sisters without his permission.

Around 6 PM, Nakano Ichika led the team to use the Anywhere Door, and everyone went to a hot spring inn to relax.

Because of the Time Loop, the girls didn't care whether they had enough money, since the time would refresh the next day anyway. So, she generously booked a hot spring inn with a courtyard, one room for each person.

Fushimi Makoto wasn't in a hurry to go to the hot springs; he had to deal with phone calls from Mrs. Yukinoshita and the others.

Even if the results are updated tomorrow, the commotion the five sisters caused this morning was so great that, out of politeness, he still has to answer the phone.

After all, he's the Whip-Wife Hero!

After finishing his last phone call, it was already completely dark outside, Fushimi Makoto finally got up to go soak in the hot spring.

Coincidentally, he encountered two girls as he turned the corner of the corridor.

Yukino and Nakano Itsuki.

Both of them looked quite good, indicating that they had finalized their complete study plan.

After exchanging greetings, Fushimi Makoto casually asked, "Where are you going?"

"Soak in the hot springs." Yukino replied.

Nakano Itsuki held up the bag in her hand. "We've prepared towels and yukatas, what about you?"

"I didn't prepare that much, just a towel." Fushimi Makoto was not used to the style of yukata.

Yukino noticed this and deliberately said, "Your words have piqued my curiosity."

"What are you curious about?"

"I'm curious to see what it's like when you reluctantly appear in front of everyone wearing a yukata."

Hearing their conversation, Nakano Itsuki imagined it for a moment and couldn't help but laugh, "I'm quite curious too."

You want to see me make a fool of myself, huh?

Fushimi Makoto calmly retorted, "I specifically asked beforehand, and this hot spring inn supports mixed-gender bathing."

Nakano Itsuki blushed slightly, her eyes darting around.

Yukino chuckled coldly, "Please put away your perverted thoughts."

Fushimi Makoto looked at her with a strange expression. "What do you mean by that? I was just casually telling you about this inn."

Yukino stopped smiling and stared at him without saying a word.

Fushimi Makoto remained unfazed. "I understand, you're imagining the three of us soaking in a hot spring together..."

He sighed as he spoke, as if truly lamenting the fall of the upright Yukino: "I never imagined you would have such thoughts. Where has that lovely young lady gone?"

Yukino's chest heaved rapidly.

She was about to elbow him again.

Nakano Itsuki's eyes widened, thinking to herself that the two of them had started again.

If Nakano Ichika were here, she'd probably be excitedly watching the drama unfold, mentally shouting, "Let's fight! Let's get this going!"

Fushimi Makoto was still pacing back and forth. "If Yukino really wants to experience mixed bathing, I'll go in first, and after I've made sure no one's inside and no one else will come in, then you two can go in and soak in the hot spring."

"And what about you? Are you planning to stay outside and keep watch for us?" Yukino asked with a stern face.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I'm going to enjoy the private bath. I won't do something as boring as keeping watch... Wait, you don't actually think I'm going to join you, do you? Give that cute second young lady back right now."

This time, Yukino couldn't hold back and raised her arm to strike.

Fushimi Makoto accelerated and disappeared from sight.

"So fast!" Nakano Itsuki exclaimed in disbelief.

Yukino stared at the empty hallway, finally rubbing her forehead and sighing, "See? This is our daily life. His stupidity and childishness are practically polluting my brain."

Nakano Itsuki blinked. "But I always feel like you seem to be enjoying it."

Yukino taken aback.

She stopped talking.

She never expected that Nakano Itsuki, who was so compatible with her and so honest and adorable, could so easily break through her defenses.

Does this mean that girls who seem more honest and unassuming are actually more skilled in this area?

Yukino's thoughts started to wander uncontrollably.

In the end, the girls were in one pool, Fushimi Makoto in a separate pool.

Yukino didn't choose the open-air hot spring either, feeling it was unsafe, so she forcibly dragged the five Nakano Family sisters to a completely enclosed hot spring pool.

"Actually, the open-air hot spring is separate. I just went to check it out, and there's no one inside. No outsiders will come in. At most, there might be monkeys jumping around in the trees outside." Nakano Ichika soaked in the pool, subtly mocking Yukino being overly cautious.

Unexpectedly, Yukino casually remarked, "In my eyes, Fushimi Makoto is no different from a monkey."

The five sisters were stunned for a moment, then they all burst into laughter.

"I can tell, Yukino, you must have had a fight with Makoto on your way here," Nakano Nino said with a smile, revealing her suspicion.

Nakano Ichika finished the job. "And you even lost the argument."

"I think you two are being too direct..." Nakano Yotsuba tried to mediate.

Miku Nakano draped a towel over her face, her voice muffled. "Given his personality, and especially in a hot spring inn, he might bring up things like mixed bathing."

"Mixed bath?"
