Capítulo 384: The Returning Quintuplets
The person who drove to pick them up was still their father's driver, Ebata.
However, due to the large amount of luggage and a few souvenirs, what arrived this time was not a familiar black car, but a similarly sized upscale RV.
After putting away all their luggage, the five people got into the car and the car immediately started.
Ebata only heard from Nakano Maruo that the quints went home early to concentrate on their studies. He was happy to see the girls' growth, stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, and was about to head for the apartment
Ichika's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Ah, sorry, Ebata-san, could you take us to... That person's house first."
Listening to the address she said, Ebata thought about it for a moment before remembering the meaning of the address.
——Well, that's the person's address.
Ebata completely understood.
So that's it, this is what is called concentrated learning.
His original good mood was all bad at this moment, but he still kept his smile.
"Okay. The journey takes about 45 minutes. Ojou-sama, let's take advantage of this time to have a good rest. I will let you know before arriving."
"Then thank you, Ebata-san."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
After speaking, Ebata pressed a button on the dashboard, and a soundproof glass slowly appeared from between the driver's seat and the rear seat, separating the sound from both sides.
Then, he pressed another button, a red light flashed, and not long after, an indifferent voice came from the speaker.
"What is it?"
"Ojou-sama haven't put down their luggage yet. The first thing they did when they returned was visit Asada-sama's house."
"..."
As he had expected, the other party fell silent and also seemed to be quietly calming down the rising anger.
Because it was an audio call, Ebata didn't adjust the temperature of the air conditioner, but just waited for his boss' answer while driving.
After Maruo found out that the quintuplets wanted to go home early to study, he barely had time for family trips, so he went home first to take care of work. He believed that his daughter could take care of everything.
For example private jets, drivers, various human or financial resources, etc.
This is his education policy.
Therefore, he did not think deeply about the five people's intention to return home early. If Ebata hadn't told him about this, he wouldn't have known that the first thing his five daughters did when they returned home wasn't to take a break or open a book to fulfill the agreed upon study plan, but...
Running to meet a man of the same age.
They didn't even greet his father, so they couldn't wait to go straight to Shinichi's house.
This was the first time Maruo faced this situation since he adopted quintuplets.
Because of that, he was silent for a very long time.
After a while, a middle-aged man's deep voice reappeared from the driver's seat.
"Ebata, if I remember correctly, a girl's rebellious period should be between 14 and 18 years old."
"That's right."
"So..." The temperature of the voice slowly dropped, "Can I think that my daughter is currently in a rebellious period, and is dissatisfied with this family and sides with outsiders?"
Ebata smiled.
"In my opinion, the situation is not that serious. Ojou-sama is still well-behaved and polite, and they respect and love you as always."
"...If that's the case, then my judgment was wrong."
Maruo answered softly.
"But it's true that they side with outsiders."
"..."
Ebata looked in the rearview mirror.
"For Ojou-sama, meeting him seems more enjoyable than traveling with you."
"..."
Maruo fell silent again.
After a while, Maruo calmly gave the order.
"In this case, let them go, you don't care about anything else."
Ebata was a little surprised: "Master, are you... Planning to recruit Asada-sama as your son-in-law?"
"...Don't worry about anything else," Maruo emphasized his tone.
Ebata understood it, this meant accepting it if it was of no use.
He said calmly: "Up to you. Then when will Ojou-sama be brought back from Asada-sama? Or do we have to wait for orders?"
Even though Ebata knew that if they were allowed to make their own decisions, Shinichi might not be able to meet the quintuplets until tomorrow morning.
Returning after delivering souvenirs?
Just to visit his family?
Even if they didn't say this reason, Ebata wouldn't believe it.
"Pick it up before dinner. I'll be back for dinner tonight and get ready."
"OKAY."
After Ebata answered, he heard Maruo leave a sentence and immediately hung up the call.
"Also, don't call him Asada-sama."
"...Hohohoho~"
Seeing the red light on the dashboard disappear, Ebata laughed a few times.
He drove with one hand, and used to open the glove box in the car with the other, glance at it, then close it.
"I didn't bring it, forget it."
Next time, remember to put a knife in every car.
The old man's life philosophy is to be prepared for any danger...
Ebata lowered the soundproof glass, and began eavesdropping on the quintuplets' conversation.
△
After 45 minutes, the RV finally drove all the way to the alley entrance.
The quintuplets got out of the car one by one with their bags and souvenirs, while Ebata returned to help them put their luggage away before returning to pick them up before dinner.
Of course, Maruo's instructions were also told to the quintuplets. Fortunately, they did not show any reluctance, otherwise Maruo who knew this would definitely be even more unhappy.
Through the car window, Ebata took a deep look at Asada's house in the distance, with a meaningful smile on his face, then stepped on the accelerator and walked away.
The quintuplets walked towards the door of Asada's house excitedly and nervously, and looked at each other.
"You didn't tell him did you?" Nino asked.
The four people nodded in unison. Everyone wanted to see him scared, so of course no one would tell him beforehand.
Yotsuba suddenly remembered something and she raised her hand.
"Ask a question, what if Asada-san is away from home at the moment?"
All they talked about in the car was how to face Shinichi's parents when they met, and what kind of gifts to give, but neither paid any attention to this most important issue.
However, Ichika already knew this beforehand, so she smiled and snapped her fingers.
Itsuki put on her glasses at the same time, opened her notebook and said seriously.
"Today is Sunday. Asada-kun doesn't have any cram school classes. Even if he goes out, he will come back soon. Don't worry."
Nino nodded, but Miku realized something was wrong at this moment.
"Itsuki, where did your information come from?"
Itsuki tilted her head and said, "I asked Asada-kun, what's wrong?"
"But, I've never seen you using your cell phone in the car. When will you..."
Miku immediately guessed the answer.
"Could it be... You were secretly chatting with Shinichi in private during the holidays?"
That's obviously a question, but it's as certain as a confirmation.
Miku stared straight at that chubby face.
Itsuki: "😅"
