"I'm home~"
After entering the password and fingerprint, Miku opened the door and walked quietly to the entrance.
His voice was very low.
Better to put on slippers and sneak into the room alone.
"Welcome back~"
"Welcome back, Miku."
"Miku, finally back."
Four indistinguishable pleasant voices sounded one after another.
"...Eh?!"
Even though she was the first to say hello, when she heard the answer, Miku couldn't help but let out a surprised voice.
Because she lost some time in the park, after she returned with the train station, it was already 8 pm. On Friday night, Itsuki has to review his homework alone in his room, Yotsuba is playing a game, and Ichika and Nino won't be in the living room, watching TV.
For modern people with cell phones, the TV is almost a decoration.
"Are… all of you waiting for me?"
Miku held her breath lightly, suppressed her subtle guilt, and walked slowly through the corridor into the living room, her eyes passing over the four sisters.
The four sisters, including Itsuki, were all sitting on the sofa, looking at her, saying that they were watching TV, or rather... they were waiting for her.
Public trial?
Miku's eyes drooped slightly, letting her bangs cover her sight, and said in a calm voice, "I'm going to take a shower first."
"Don't worry about taking a shower." Nino folded his right leg which was wrapped in white stockings on his left leg. She looked a bit like a boss, but the light yellow bear sandals on his feet were a little out of character. "Why did you just come home?"
"That's right, you didn't come back until 8pm. Never been this late before." Yotsuba held Pikachu in his hands and pinched Pikachu's ears with both hands.
Among the five sisters, Miku has the clearest otaku character. She has no friends at school, doesn't like shopping with other people, and doesn't participate in clubs either. Miku who came home suddenly came home late at night, which would surely make people worry.
"It's getting very late, Miku."
Ichika was holding a chocolate bar in her hand, and she had a fox-like smile on her face.
"Un… Since the shoes are a bit rough, it will take some time."
"I testify that the shoes are indeed a bit rough." Yotsuba raised his right hand "I feel it when I run. Luckily, I changed my shoes to Miku, otherwise it would be over."
"I always feel like Miku changes the subject."
"…Nothing like that."
Miku who wasn't a social expert, was a little dispirited, but she didn't manage to change the subject.
"Un, forget it, today was hard work." Ichika continued, "Are you hungry?"
"I've eaten already."
"You eat?"
"beef rice."
"Who with?"
Ramen in Japan is always very salty. Itsuki ate two or three kilograms in one breath, and his mouth must be dry. She had just drank the water from the cup and it was finally now, and she was wiping his lips with the back of his hand. Itsuki, heaved a sigh of relief, and said:
"Nino said you were dating Asakawa-san, really?"
Miku subconsciously replied: "This is not a date."
Obviously following you, I saw you disguised as a contestant in a ramen eating competition, and then defeating more than a dozen men, and finally winning... Even though we ate and drank milk tea together in the middle, it was all temporary.
Dating has to be agreed in advance, right?
"Eh?"
The ahoge's hair on Itsuki's head was shaking slightly, and she always felt that Miku's eyes were a little strange, as if… she had seen it all."
*Plak*
Nino patted his thigh and made a clear and loud sound, his eyes lit up, and she caught Miku's lack of words: "Only refusing a date, not the first half of the sentence, you really are with Asakawa bastard?"
"Just having dinner with Asakawa-san."
Miku didn't deny it.
Miku can't talk about Itsuki stuff, and we don't need to be sneaky when we eat together, and this isn't the first time… We often eat together in the cafeteria during lunch breaks.
"Eh?" Yotsuba opened his eyes wide and asked curiously, "Asakawa-san offered to invite you to dinner?"
Miku shook her head: "No."
"Did you invite Asakawa-san?"
"Impossible." Nino patted the table and stood up, with Miku's character, it's definitely impossible to invite a boy to eat, so no matter how you look at it, Naoki has bad intentions, "Eat together today, I will do something for you tomorrow!"
"Move your hands and feet..."
Miku remembers what happened today, didn't move her feet... Holding hands should be considered 'direct', right?
"Asakawa-san is not that kind of person." Miku retorted, not wanting to hear Nino speak ill of Naoki.
"Asakawa-san..." Itsuki took another sip of water and thought, "Even though he sometimes says things that people don't know how to answer, he should be a serious person."
"Boys are serious people until they show their true colors." Nino said boyish nature in a tone like someone coming over, "Once you show your true colors, you are not human at all."
"What happens if it's not human?" Yotsuba asked curiously.
"Un, it will evolve into a wolf beast." Ichika stretched out a light white finger with a serious expression, "Eyes glow red, nostrils snort…"
"It's not human anymore!" Itsuki could only complain.
"Itsuki's right." Ichika nodded, "I will call Asakawa-kun a wolf in the future."
The trial is over.
Miku turned around and walked to the bathroom: "I'm going to take a shower."
8 pm is actually not too late. Even though Miku came back later than usual, she was fine. If she didn't come back all night, sqhe would come back the next morning with a pale face and an awkward posture, and she would hesitate to do so. Say what she asked Nino already went looking for Naoki with a knife.
"Huuuu..."
Miku sat in the bath and frowned slightly. Even though his leg wasn't injured, the contact with the hot water was still painful.
Her body sinking, submerging most of her body into the white foam, leaving only her thin shoulders and exposed collarbones, Miku picked up the phone, swiped to unlock the screen, and looked at the additional messages in the chat software. His eyes sparkled slightly, and he quickly opened the chat software.
"Ugh..."
A displeased voice was heard.
The news is an official public news, which is not the same as the expected news.
Casually deleting the junk messages, Miku moved her finger, clicked on Naoki's avatar, and edited the message: "...I'm home."
After a few seconds.
"10 minutes later than expected."
"After getting home, I talked to Nino and the others for a while, and I didn't have time to text you while I was taking a shower."
After the message was clicked to be sent, Miku quickly reacted and informed the boy that she was in the shower, which seemed a bit bad, her face blushed slightly, and she quickly retracted the message.
"I see it."
"…It doesn't count without a screenshot."
"Who says there are no screenshots?"
"Eh?"
"I've taken the screenshot with my eyes, and it's very imprinted on my mind."
Miku puffed out her cheeks: "Reckless Asakawa."
...
Evening.
10:30.
