บท 88: Overacting...
"W-What are you saying, Nanase-san? I'm miku. Not nino." With her hands trembling slightly, 'Miku' tried to 'correct' me.
"Sigh... Nakano Nino-san, It's not time for jokes right now." I ignored her and continued teaching elementary grade English to yotsuba, who was the only one not understanding anything.
"No, No!! Wait a minute!! How did you even recognise us?!" Nino took off her disguise and returned back the headphones to miku.
"How..? It's simple." I replied with a indifferent face.
My reply caught all the quintuplets off-guard. They all looked at me with piercing gazes that were demanding answers.
Only people who are able to recognise them are their mother, father and grandfather. If differentiating them was easy, then the whole world can be called blind.
Though, considering that I possess omnipotent vision, calling the whole world blind won't be an exaggeration.
"Nanase-san can tell them different?!" Fumino was confused. From the moment she entered the house, she was having problems differentiating the quintuplets. When Nino served me tea in Miku's disguise, she believed it was Miku.
"Is that even scientifically possible? It might take too accurate calculation to identify them differently..." Rizu also expressed her thoughts.
""How did you figure it out?"" Ichika and itsuki asked together.
"Wow!!! Nanase-san is amazing!!" Yotsuba also joined in, though it was obvious that she was only trying to avoid study.
Only Miku was quiet. She was looking at me, her lips curled up in a beautiful smile. Her face showed pure happiness and embarrassment.
They were all awaiting my answer.
"How exactly should I put it... You all just feel different..?" I replied after thinking for a while.
Although they are quintuplets, to not confuse audience too much, creators have made them quite different. For someone who must have seen the quintuplets anime with keen observation, just hearing their voice would be enough to differentiate them.
"""We... Feel different..?""" All the quintuplets repeated at the same time.
"I see... Gut feeling is something science has not been able to explain yet. It makes sense." Rizu showed a understanding look.
After her words, whole room turned absolutely silent. But even then, it didn't feel awkward. Instead, the atmosphere turned quite warm.
All the quintuplets had a slight blush on their faces.
When no one said anything even after a few seconds, I decided to activate my mortal skill : mind reading.
What about their privacy? What is privacy? Never heard of that.
[Activated mortal skill : mind reading.]
Okay, let's first take a look at Nino.
'AAHH!! what should I do?! He doesn't love you!! He is a Playboy!! You have to save your sister's from him!!' Nino's the same as usual.
How about Ichika?
'ah..? Nanase-san loves either Nino or Miku? What can I do with this information now? Fufufu...' Ichika still thought as sly as ever.
But why is Itsuki blushing?
'Ah, what should I do?! I'm feeling hungry but everyone suddenly turned silent!! Why did Nino not bring anything for me to eat?! Should I break the silence?' That should have been expected from Itsuki.
Yotsuba should still be normal, right?
'Yes!! I don't have to study anymore!! Please no one break this silence!!'
"..."
All these quintuplets are really so annoying to deal with in reality... But that's also a plus point for their character.
[Mortal skill : mind reading has been deactivated.]
" *Cough!* Let's continue the studies." I coughed to break the silence.
Yotsuba's face sulked down at visible speed.
"I-I will bring some meat buns to eat..." Itsuki stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Y-Yes. We should continue studying..." Miku also came back to her senses and tried to change the subject while trying to hide the blush on her face.
"Hmmph!! Don't think that I will ever believe what you say!!" Nino wrapped her arms below her waist and sat at one of the couch.
After itsuki came back with a extremely large sized meat bun, we started studying again.
------------
There's something wrong...
Quintuplets who hate studying are studying properly. That can still be explained as my teaching skill allows me to attract the attention of students.
Even then, if someone has zero intrest towards study, the skill won't work properly. Currently, Nino has negetive intrest towards study. So, why is she still sitting here?
I thought of using mind reading on her, but even guessing the reason was not that difficult.
Nino is the one who prepared the tea. She even bears some I'll intention towards me.
She has obviously drugged the tea and was waiting for the drama to happen.
Currently, I have two choices. First, drink the tea simply because my body is too strong for mortal drugs to work on me. Second, I over-exaggerate the situation and make her regret doing this.
Although I don't want to create any drama, I am still tempted to try the second option.
I picked up the cup of tea and brought it closer to my mouth, ready to sip the tea.
Nino's eyes focused sharply on me.
'Activate extra skill : fate.'
If I am going to create some drama, let's do it to perfection.
[Extra skill : fate has been activated.]
'Activate sub-skill : manipulation on completed fate.'
I just need to modify the past a little to provide a backstory for my drama.
[What would you like to change?]
'Modify the past slightly. Create a small situation where Nino might have bought something that can be extremely harmful to normal humans but accidentally kept it in her kitchen. When she was preparing this tea, she accidentally poured that thing into my cup instead of the sleeping pills. She would remember this situation at the moment I would take a take a sip from the cup.'
'Also system, buy the acting skill and upgrade it to prodigy level.'
[Understood. All the commands have been successfully completed.]
'Now all that's left is...'
I slowly started sipping tea from the cup.
"NO WAIT!! DON'T DRINK THAT!!" Nino, who just remembered her situation, immediately jumped forward to stop me from drinking it.
She pushed the cup and threw it away from my hand buy it was too late. I had already sipped from the cup.
"Nino!! What are you doing?!" Miku screamed from behind.
"No matter how much you hate someone, it's not good to act like this!!" Ichika also scolded Nino.
"Nino!! You can't do that to Nanase-san!!" Itsuki stood up while looking at Nino with angry face.
Seeing all her sister's blame her, Nino's mind started to think that her sister's were blaming her for poisoning me.
"N-No... I-It's not my fault... I didn't do it intentionally!!" Nino tried to step back but instead fell on her knees.
Nino eyes were widened and fear and guilt was clearly visible on her face.
'Time for my act, I guess?'
"I am fine... No need to lash out on Nino. *Cough!*" I ended my sentence but coughed out blood at end and fell to the ground.
"""NANASE-SAN!!!"""

Hey, author here,
...I just wanted to see how this drama would look like. Now that I have finished writing, I'm feeling kinda stupid...
