The next day.
Shinichi got up and glanced at Rui, who was sleeping next to him.
He supported the edge of the bed with his right hand, then used reaction force to pull his left hand and rolled off the bed.
"Mhm..."
Rui groaned softly as if she was dreaming. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Shinichi with sleepy eyes who was standing with his back to her and arranging his clothes.
After being dazed for a few seconds, she pulled the pillow and turned over to continue sleeping.
Waving his left hand, Shinichi spoke.
"I'll be out for a bit, call me if you need anything."
What responded was the sound of long breathing.
Shinichi turned his head to look at his open blanket, and stretched out his hand.
After stretching a lot, he came out of the room.

Rui vaguely heard the sound of the door opening several times.
When she fully woke up, she was the only one left.
Sitting up from the bed, with the blanket pressed against her chest, she looked around in confusion.
"If the scene was a hotel, that person would probably be in trouble..."
After all, she was only 15 years old.
Rui looked down at the pajamas she was wearing. Even though it was a little messy, there were no signs of the ties coming loose or falling apart. She didn't check anywhere else, and she made sure that someone didn't do anything to her.
This is unexpected.
She sniffed. She felt panic as she sat alone on the bed.
Rui is very well-read, quickly finding explanations for this mentality.
"Is this the feeling of giving your precious virginity to a boyfriend for the first time, only to find that he is not by your side when you wake up the next day, and you are afraid that he will cruelly pull it out…"
Even though this was her first time sleeping in the same bed as a man, her boyfriend was also fake and did nothing but serve as a pillow.
But Rui couldn't help but laugh, and lay down on the bed.
"So happy~"
This was a special treatment that only Rui could enjoy. She didn't need to be jealous of Fumino and the others. With Shinichi's cowardly character, even if a girl came to live in his house, he would definitely lock the door tightly.
"Hmph..."
"By the way, where did that guy go..."
Her triumphant expression turned to confusion, and she got out of bed, rubbed her eyes and walked out the door.
Returning to the guest room first, without looking at Hina who was sleeping soundly on the bed, she took out her cell phone and checked the time.
10:30 am. It turned out that it was three and a half hours later than the usual time to wake up...
Rui walked downstairs and dialed the phone number.
The phone's busy tone sounded, Rui went down the stairs and remembered something.
The reason they chose to visit this afternoon was because they had business to do in the morning because the quintuplets would be returning to their hometown to visit relatives starting tomorrow.
If she wanted to give the quintuplets a "nudge" before summer vacation ended and give them time to fully think and react, this was the only time.
So Rui used the excuse of "wanting to play at their house" to legally enter Nakano's house and use her identity as a fake girlfriend to fight the five sisters.
But therein lies the problem.
Shinichi had something to do and was out early.
The quintuplets also have business in the morning.
Both sides have something to do, it's true...
A cold light appeared in Rui's eyes, and her fingers tightened slightly on the phone.
After about ten seconds, the call finally connected.
"Hey... ha, ha... Rui... what's wrong... ha, ha..."
Shinichi gasped.
The hope in her heart gradually came true. As a woman who had just slept with him for one night (no ambiguity), Rui felt like a victim of NTR.
"Where are you? What are you doing? Who did you do it with?"
"Hah?" Shinichi was stunned by these three questions, then answered quickly.
"I was outside, running, and there was no one around."
Rui was about to ask something when the uncle's voice suddenly came from the phone.
"Brother over there, do you want freshly killed fish?"
Shinichi politely refused: "No, I can't run with you."
"Then remember to come to our shop next time... Wait a minute, brother, your shoelaces are untied."
"Ah, thanks for reminding me."
His breathing stopped, and he seemed to be squatting on the ground while tying his shoelaces, and said to Rui at the same time.
"Did you hear that? I'm on the shopping street. I'll go back now. Don't worry."
With her doubts gone and her mood relieved, Rui showed a smile and said softly.
"Sorry, I doubted you. I will wait for you to come back."
After hanging up the phone, the summer cicadas seemed to chirp louder.
...
Shinichi put down his cell phone, and let out a heavy breath from his chest and stomach.
There was no one around
He left this corner and walked towards the five girls who were waiting for him to finish the phone call under the shade of a tree not far away.
"This is from Rui. It's time for me to go back."
He said a few words to the quints, and bowed solemnly.
"I'll leave that to you all!"

Around 11:30 pm, Rui made lunch, and Shinichi had just arrived home, he was sweaty, like he had just run a long way.
Rui glanced at him, put the microwave food on the table, and turned to prepare a cup of tea.
"Shower first, then eat after."
"Thank you Rui..." Shinichi put his bag on the sofa, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Rui was in a good mood and humming while pouring tea, but suddenly she realized.
"Wait a minute, Hina Nee-san seems to be taking a shower..."
How could a shrewd guy like Shinichi, who has a strong sense of defense, possibly...
"Ahhhh—"
A woman's screams were heard for a moment, then stopped as if she was being strangled.
Rui put the kettle down, and rushed out of the living room with a bad expression on his face.
"You...Eh?"
△
Go back in time a little.
Shinichi came to the bathroom covered in sweat.
The light coming from under the door crack indicated that the light inside was on, and he thought Rui had turned on the light for him first.
The door wasn't locked, and no one was showering during lunch, so Shinichi opened the door without much thought.
Then, a young woman wearing only black underwear and panties, posing in front of the mirror, caught his attention.
