The Nakano Household Went Completely Haywire That Night

Nakano Nino glanced at Ichika silently, thinking to herself, "Keep talking nonsense. If that really happened, you'd definitely side with Makoto."

Of course, if Makoto had angered you, I would stand by him too!

After chatting for a while, Miku Nakano relaxed and her tone became less reserved. "So, you still want us to join?"

"Yes," Fushimi Makoto admitted.

Miku Nakano hesitated and said, "But Ichika told us about your club, and we don't know anything about photography."

"But we can learn, I often help out in other clubs." Nakano Yotsuba always had a lot of energy.

Or perhaps, she had been listening to Ichika and Itsuki talk about the club every day, and had long harbored a strong curiosity about it.

Miku Nakano remained silent, her gaze fixed solely on Fushimi Makoto's face.

Clearly, she wanted a serious answer.

Fushimi Makoto sensed the girl's emotions. "Just like Yotsuba said, if you want to learn, I can teach you anytime."

"What if we're not interested?" Nakano Nino suddenly asked.

Fushimi Makoto smiled slightly, "Then let's treat the club as a place to chat and drink tea."

"Huh?"

The five sisters were all stunned.

Including Ichika and Itsuki, they had no idea that Fushimi Makoto had such thoughts before.

Fushimi Makoto picked up a cookie and popped it into his mouth, first praising its deliciousness, and then continued, "Actually, I noticed something from the first day of school. Of course, if I'm wrong about it, I'll apologize."

"What's up?"

Hearing him suddenly become serious, the girls unconsciously perked up.

My turn to show off.

Looking at the five beautiful faces, Fushimi Makoto slowly said, "If a girl is exceptionally beautiful, she will definitely attract a lot of attention at school, and people will often talk about her behind her back, whether it's good or bad."

"That's true." Nakano Itsuki thought of Yukino and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Fushimi Makoto continued, "But if there were five girls as beautiful as her, the talk would be even louder, and they wouldn't be able to ignore it even if they wanted to."

This time, all five sisters fell silent.

They all understood that Fushimi Makoto was referring to themselves.

"Although I never care about what others say, I don't force everyone to have the same mindset as me. So I thought to myself, you've lived together since you were little, so whether at school or elsewhere, you're bound to be talked about all the time."

Fushimi Makoto said, softening his tone, "You probably don't like this feeling, right?"

Nakano Nino looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes. "I really don't like it, but what can I do? It's been so many years anyway."

Nakano Ichika's emotions intensified. "So, you want the club room to become our private space, where we can do whatever we want and talk whatever we want without anyone gossiping about us, right?"

Fushimi Makoto nodded.

The critical hit effect brought about by the extremely long wind-up is enormous.

Although he had indeed seriously considered it and was genuinely concerned about the five sisters' situation.

But ultimately, his scheming idea of trying to win over the five sisters has never changed.

Nakano Itsuki stared in astonishment, thinking, "So this is why he wanted the five of us to join the club?"

Miku and Yotsuba were also somewhat dazed, but the gentle light in their eyes was incredibly clear at that moment.

Nino bit her lip, as if some emotion was stirring in her chest.

Just as she was about to say something, Ichika's voice rang out first. "Honestly, you clearly want to get along with us, but you're deliberately speaking so gently. You're a bit cunning, Makoto."

Nino was taken aback and quickly looked at Ichika, whose face was full of tenderness.

She's deliberately trying to ease the tension!

Damn it, I was still a step behind her.

Fushimi Makoto sighed in agreement, "I didn't expect you to see through me after all. I should have laid the groundwork a little longer..."

He then deliberately looked at Miku, who was lost in her emotions, and asked, "Miku, does Ichika usually like to tease me like this?"

"Yes, she's always been like this." Miku smiled faintly.

She has a lovely smile.

After this conversation, Miku and Yotsuba gained a new understanding of Fushimi Makoto.

They could understand why Ichika and Itsuki had such a good impression of him.

He's a very good person.

Moreover, they are very thoughtful.

Next, Fushimi Makoto talked about his efforts to spread the principal's glorious deeds, and the atmosphere of the conversation became more relaxed.

"Alright everyone, have you finished asking your questions?"

Nakano Ichika suddenly stood up.

Facing the gazes of her younger sisters, she showed no stage fright, but instead smiled and said, "I have something I'd like to talk to Makoto about alone."

Nakano Nino suddenly asked, "You want to take him to your bedroom?"

"That's right," Nakano Ichika readily admitted.

Nakano Nino continued to question, "Your room looks like a garbage dump, are you sure you want to do this?"

Nino, I knew you were looking for an opportunity to ambush me.

Nakano Ichika's smile became even brighter.

She opened her phone and played a video. "My room is very clean. As for why, please watch the video."

Fushimi Makoto also looked over.

In the video, Nakano Ichika seen diligently cleaning her bedroom.

This angle was clearly taken intentionally by her setting up her phone.

Nakano Nino stared at Ichika with surprise and displeasure: Was this also part of your plan?

Nakano Ichika looked at her younger sister with a smile, "Little sister, learn from me."

Chapter 77 That Night, the Nakano Family Was in Chaos (Bonus Chapter 2)

Nakano Ichika easily won over Nino.

Having done some preparation beforehand, she wasn't overly smug.

But after Nino sat back down angrily, Itsuki suddenly asked, "Ichika, did you talk to him alone because of tutoring?"

Nino had just been deflated, immediately sat up straight.

Miku and Yotsuba also looked over expectantly.

Nakano Ichika maintained her smile, but inwardly she was thinking: What are you doing, Itsuki?

Why would you, who are usually the most obedient and honest, interrupt my spellcasting at this crucial moment?

Her thoughts were changing rapidly, but she calmly replied, "That's right, I hope I can have a serious talk with Makoto about tutoring."

After saying that, she unusually put on a serious expression. "We actually know that our grades are not good, but we also know that being a 'stupid' is a given fact. At least in terms of academics, I don't think I'm hopeless."

These blatant remarks about surrendering immediately drew criticism from Itsuki.

She wants to learn!

She even studied under Yukino, and she was quite dedicated to it.

"Yeah, we're terrible at studying," Nakano Yotsuba agreed.

Fushimi Makoto knew that Ichika was just making excuses, so he played along, saying, "Even an idiot can turn the tide."

"I knew you'd think that way, which is why I wanted to talk to you alone."

Nakano Ichika couldn't help but laugh, adding, "As the Nakano Family."

There was no way to get a word in edgewise this Itsuki.

Ichika had already adopted the attitude reserved for formal occasions; if she were to interrupt again, it would seem very impolite.

So far, Miku and Yotsuba have completely believed Ichika's words.

Nino and Itsuki were extremely suspicious.

A very stark contrast.

As Nakano Ichika and Fushimi Makoto entered the house, the door was closed, and the girls in the living room got up to do their own things.

Only Nino stayed behind.

She wanted to see how long the two people would stay in the house.

If necessary, she would even stand by the door to eavesdrop.

In the bedroom.

Instead of pulling Fushimi Makoto down, Nakano Ichika immediately asked after closing the door, "You must have noticed Nino's strange behavior too, right?"

Fushimi Makoto leaned against the door and joked, "An older sister who's always on guard against her younger sister—that's quite an interesting sight."

A blush crept across Nakano Ichika's face, but she remained calm. "A younger sister shouldn't take things from her older sister."

"Does that sound a bit domineering?"

If you think so, then it is.

Nakano Ichika spoke her mind.

Then, her smile softened considerably, "You just said that you wanted the five of us to be able to relax anytime in the club room without being watched by others. Is your reason for doing this because of me?"

"Ichika, you're really something," Fushimi Makoto couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, that's just how I feel."

Nakano Ichika wasn't embarrassed. Just as she was about to say something more, Fushimi Makoto interrupted, "By the way, Nino took the underwear you left behind back with her, you knew that, right?"

"She even told you this?" Nakano Ichika immediately became alert.

"She only gave a vague description, but I guessed the truth myself."

Fushimi Makoto still has to tell the truth about this matter.

Although the battle between Ichika and Nino was quite interesting.

It's naive and interesting.

Nakano Ichika smiled, revealing an older sisterly expression. "Nino trusts you a lot. Normally, she would never bring up topics like a girl's private clothing with a boy."

Fushimi Makoto smoothly deflected the blame. "Then let me ask you, who left their underwear there?"

Nakano Ichika, then quickly laughed, "I thought you'd like it, so I'm giving it to you."

"Do you even listen to human speech?"

Just then, Fushimi Makoto's phone vibrated.

He picked it up and glanced at it; it was a message from Yukino.

Nakano Ichika didn't lean closer, but instead asked politely, "May I take a look?"

Fushimi Makoto was almost amused by her pretentious act, then, remembering something, he generously unlocked his phone. "There's nothing I can't see."

Nakano Ichika quickly approached.

Yukino's message was. "[I've thought about it carefully today. Since we've finished all the preliminary work, how about we start filming on Sunday?]"

Fushimi Makoto replied: [No problem.]

Nakano Ichika didn't pay any attention to these two messages.

She was staring wide-eyed at the top of the chat interface.

There, Yukino's good morning and good night messages, along with the adorable panda emoji, were crystal clear.

Someone's raided my base again!
