A Tennis Day for a Beautiful Girl and an Auntie

One second Utaha and Nakano Nino seemed like good friends, but now that their fighting spirit and passion have been ignited, the way they look at each other has changed.

Fushimi Makoto felt that the current atmosphere made it seem like the two of them had met on a forum.

In just a few words, their conflict began.

Fushimi Makoto and Nakano Nino stayed until evening before leaving.

As it was her first time, Utaha should have wanted to spend more time with the person she liked. However Yukino, she immediately went into battle mode and decided to focus on the important matter at hand.

That evening at nine o'clock, Yukino went to Fushimi Makoto's house to discuss her studies for the day and to praise Itsuki.

As they chatted, she remembered something. "I heard from Ichika that Nino went to Kasumigaoka- senpai's house today?"

"Yes." Fushimi Makoto nodded.

"And you? Are you over there too?"

"You could have guessed that?"

"Because if you weren't there, how could Nino possibly get there?"

"I admire you more and more." Fushimi Makoto's words were the truth.

Yukino ignored him, staring into his eyes as she asked, "What did you guys do over there? Chat? Or did you go out and cause trouble together?"

"I was tested over there," Fushimi Makoto said, using a more euphemistic approach.

"A test?" Yukino frowned and pondered for two seconds, feeling that things might not be so serious, but she decided to ask first, "So, did you pass the test?"

Fushimi Makoto: "I failed."

Yukino: "..."

As expected, Fushimi Makoto was elbowed by Yukino again tonight.

Chapter 383 A Beautiful Girl and Her Aunt's Tennis Day

"Everyone has been working so hard for so long, it's time to take a day off and relax. Balancing work and rest is very important."

After more than a month of busy work in the Time Loop, Fushimi Makoto and his group, including Utaha, were all summoned to Nakano Ichika's house.

"Before you guys arrived, Makoto, we had already discussed it. Today is a day off, and everyone has to relax and not compete anymore," Nakano Ichika said, meeting everyone's gaze.

"I have no objection," Fushimi Makoto was the first to speak.

For the past month or so, aside from training, he's basically been running back and forth between the various girls. It's not just Yukino needs his advice; the other girls do too.

Therefore, he is actually the busiest person.

It was precisely because he devoted himself so wholeheartedly to playing support that, with the blessing of Nino Divine Power and various buffs, the girls' progress was quite astonishing. Although only a month had passed, it felt as if they had been competing for half a year, and they gained a lot.

Ichika has made significant progress in her acting skills, and she believes she now possesses the qualities of a near-top-tier actress.

Nino and Miku specialize in cooking, something Fushimi Makoto, so he naturally provides them with his full assistance.

The Yotsuba clover symbolizes movement.

Itsuki is all about studying.

Yukino and Utaha, on the other hand, are engaged in infighting from all angles.

Just as they themselves said, only comprehensive progress can satisfy them.

The five Nakano Family sisters weren't too surprised by the addition of Utaha, a "newcomer," as they were aware of Utaha excellence.

Moreover, since Utaha joined, she often clashes with Yukino, which is exactly the kind of scene that Nakano Ichika likes to see the most.

Whenever the two girls with long, straight black hair clashed, if Nakano Ichika was present, she would always wear a "stop fighting" expression on her face, but in her heart she would be excitedly thinking: This is boring, I want to see a river of blood.

She also learned a lot of new knowledge about laning while watching.

"So, what's your plan?" Yukino put down her book and looked up.

Although she would prefer to stay inside, she wouldn't refuse if everyone wanted to relax and have a day to play.

"Whether it's traveling, exercising, or enjoying delicious food, there's something for everyone," Nakano Ichika suggested.

Yukino replied without hesitation, "I choose to train."

She had already witnessed the amazing changes brought about by exercise, so now that this option was available, how could she possibly let it pass her by?

"I'll choose this one too," Utaha chimed in.

"As expected, I knew you would choose this." Nakano Ichika nodded with a smile. "Actually, we chose this too."

"So, what about training programs? Have you come up with any ideas?" Fushimi Makoto asked at the opportune moment.

"Nino and the others have put forward many options, and we are still struggling to decide," said Nakano Ichika.

At this moment Nakano Nino crossed her arms and complained, "You've clearly become a couch potato again. I suggested we go swimming, but you said it was too much trouble. Yotsuba suggested we run, but you thought that was too tiring too."

"Because it's really tiring and troublesome," Nakano Ichika, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.

Nakano Nino sighed helplessly, her gaze falling on Utaha: "Senpai, do you have any thoughts?"

Her words clearly startled everyone present except for Fushimi Makoto.

Yukino went even further, saying, "Interesting. As one of the quintuplets, instead of asking your sisters about this, you went to Kasumigaoka- senpai. Has your relationship gotten that close?"

Oh no!

Nakano Nino's expression changed slightly.

Her mind was so preoccupied with her helplessness and headache over Ichika that she forgot to cover it up.

Since they teamed up last time, they have been in frequent contact and have met privately on several occasions.

Nakano Nino didn't tell anyone about these things.

She didn't even tell her own sisters or Fushimi Makoto.

"Kasumigaoka- senpai, are you and Nino close?" Nakano Yotsuba asked curiously.

Then came the surprised and curious looks from Ichika and the others.

Nakano Nino bit her lower lip, feeling anxious and uneasy.

But just then, Utaha smiled calmly and said, "Because Nino and I are already good friends."

"Huh?"

"Why are you all so surprised? Nino and I share common interests. After spending a few more hours together, we naturally became friends."

"Excuse me for asking, senior, what are the shared interests you mentioned?"

"I also practice yoga at home, and I'm equally interested in fashion and dressing."

"Oh, this is definitely something Nino likes."

The doubts in Ichika's and the others' minds subsided.

Nakano Nino breathed a sigh of relief and gave Utaha a thankful look, looking slightly embarrassed.

Utaha responded with a smile, as if she were a caring older sister.

Yukino witnessed this scene and glanced thoughtfully at Fushimi Makoto.

"What's wrong?" Fushimi Makoto noticed her gaze.

Yukino didn't answer, but she replied with her eyes: I know the truth isn't what you said, Senpai.

As expected of the second young lady, she's incredibly perceptive.

Fushimi Makoto gave a thumbs up.

Yukino paused, then looked away in disgust.

She was hoping to glean some clues from Fushimi Makoto's face, but instead, he simply gave her a thumbs up.

She remembered that this guy had said that giving a thumbs-up meant, "Be Kuuga."

This means that the bastard is just giving me the runaround and has no intention of telling the truth.

"Ichika you don't want to run or swim, how about jump rope? It's a convenient sport that doesn't require a venue," Nakano Itsuki suggested.

"I refuse." This time, it was Utaha who spoke.

When everyone looked at her, she calmly said, "For people of our build, skipping rope is neither an elegant nor very comfortable form of exercise."

Aesthetically pleasing? Comfortable?

When these two words were put together, Ichika and the others were puzzled for a few seconds, and then Yotsuba and Itsuki blushed.

Nakano Ichika couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That makes sense, that's the trouble with having big breasts."

Yukino's emotions remained completely unaffected.

Utaha turned around, her gaze falling on Yukino. Just as she was about to sound the horn for a duel, Fushimi Makoto interrupted, "Then let's play ping-pong or tennis. If Ichika gets tired halfway through, you can stop anytime and have someone else take your place."

"Ping pong?"

The five sisters looked at each other, this was not their forte.

Knowing that Yukino and Utaha were also on today's training plan, Ichika and the others didn't want to choose an activity they weren't good at and then be completely dominated.

Although she lost to Yukino in the swimming competition, everyone realized one thing— Yukino wasn't invincible.

"I'm fine with anything," Yukino's light and clear voice rang out.

As soon as she spoke, apart from Yotsuba, Ichika and the others were even less willing to choose ping-pong.

"Then let's play tennis." Utaha had been observing everyone's emotional changes and made the decision immediately.

"Who will contact the venue?" Nakano Ichika asked.

"No need to contact anyone, I have it ready here." Fushimi Makoto held up his phone, which displayed a message from Sawamura Sayuri.

In fact, throughout this recurring day, as long as Ichika and the others didn't go out and cause trouble, Sawamura Sayuri would invite Fushimi Makoto out to play every afternoon.

He was so busy recently, constantly on the go, that he didn't have time to keep the appointment and declined.

With the girls finalizing their plans and someone helping to provide the venue, they stopped dawdling and went home to prepare.

Ten minutes later, Fushimi Makoto and his group met up with Sawamura Sayuri and her friends at a nearby tennis court.

Surprisingly, Mrs. Yukinoshita and Eriri Spencer Sawamura were also there.

"Wow~ So many people came? Makoto, you said on the phone you were bringing friends, I thought it would only be one or two people... You really have a way with pretty girls."

After exchanging greetings, Sawamura Sayuri reverted to her Fushimi Makoto every day.

"I didn't expect Aunt Yukinoshita to agree to come out and play with you." Fushimi Makoto came to the side of the field and put his things down.

Sawamura Sayuri smiled and linked arms with her best friend, "I practically dragged her out. All she does is compete fiercely every day; she deserves a break."

"So you knew I didn't want to come?" Mrs. Yukinoshita said coldly.

"Alright, alright, there are so many young people here today, so be a little gentler, or you'll scare them."

"When it comes to witty banter, you're the best I know."

"Makoto, did you hear that? She praised me! She rarely praises people."

Seeing Sawamura Sayuri's lively and radiant demeanor, Mrs. Yukinoshita shook her head helplessly and simply gave up on saying anything more.

Because Sawamura Sayuri also learned about the Bamboo-copter, the two beautiful women often talked about it in private and even became "bamboo friends" who flew together.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura had already gathered around the five sisters, and they were discussing how to play.

That's right, it's just for fun.

Ichika had said she was going to exercise before leaving home, but now that she's actually at the tennis court, Ichika's starting to encourage her sisters to play against Fushimi Makoto.

"Let Yukinoshita and Kasumigaoka- senpai go first. They're not on our team, so let them wear down Makoto. Then, Nino go first, and our ace Yotsuba, will go last." Nakano Ichika enthusiastically gave the instructions.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura pointed to her face. "And what about me?"

Nakano Ichika countered, "Are you good at sports?"

"... I'm not particularly good at it either." Eriri Spencer Sawamura gave a very tactful answer, her voice lacking confidence.

After Nakano Ichika said, "Very well, then you'll go first against Makoto."

"Huh? Me?" Eriri Spencer Sawamura started trembling.
