Section 81: 70 The Last Day
Mai's words were very skillful.
She'd left out some details, but she hadn't lied. At most, you could say her words had been rather suggestive.
She'd concealed the fact that she'd gone out alone with Shuya, making it seem as if she'd gone out with Little Senior Sister and the others.
Little Senior Sister was simple-hearted and didn't notice anything amiss. When Mai asked her what seemed like an offhand question, she immediately nodded and confirmed it.
Finally, with Shuya's nonchalant tone, she'd covered up the fact that they'd gone on a date alone with just one sentence.
Having a wingman like this around made Shuya's life much easier.
Rena's expression cleared, too. She thought Shuya really had just come out to hang out with his friends, and that there was nothing more to it.
But the Quintuplets (excluding Itsuki) still weren't entirely convinced. They stared at Mai, full of hostility toward the pretty young lady who had filmed with Shuya.
Mai calmly put on a friendly smile. "Hello, everyone."
The Quintuplets didn't react much.
"You really are as cute as Shuya always says."
Mai smiled sincerely. That was the truth, after all—they really were all very pretty.
Shuya: "?"
Did I say that?
He grumbled to himself, but of course he didn't show it. Instead, he nodded along in agreement.
"Hehehe... Not at all."
"You're the one who is, Big Sis Mai."
"Big Sis Mai is so pretty, too."
The Quintuplets hadn't seen much of the world. A single compliment was all it took for them to decide Mai was a super-friendly, pretty big sister.
Easy as pie.
Mai discreetly winked at Shuya with her right eye.
Thanks~
Shuya nodded with a smile.
Little Senior Sister: "?"
