24 Breakfast with Family

Akira came down the stairs after waking up Ichika, Miku, and Itsuki. The three of them bathed together so as not to be late for the welcoming ceremony for new students.

Starting today, the quintuplet girls will be high school students, just like Akira, who will be a junior high school student.

Like Akira, who attends Teiko Junior High School, which is an elite junior high school. The quintuplet girls of the Nakano Family also attend one of the elite high schools in Tokyo, namely the Kurobara girls' high school, which is usually attended by wealthy families.

Although Akira and his five sisters attend an elite school, the two enter school in different ways.

Quintuplet girls became students at Kuroba Girls' High School thanks to the connection and relationship with their father. Meanwhile, Akira purely passed the entrance exam because of his own efforts, without his father's interference.

Walking into the living room, Akira with a glass of warm milk in his hand. He also saw his father sitting there reading the morning paper with a cup of warm coffee on the table.

"Good morning, dad." Akira wished him a good morning.

"Um."

Maruo gave a nod in response.

Akira was used to this, his father wasn't a very talkative person to begin with.

Picking up the remote control, Akira turned on the TV, and searched for the weather prediction broadcast.

At the news station, a female presenter reads out today's weather forecast.

"I will tell you the weather in Tokyo on Monday, April 1, 2016..."

"Slurps."

Sipping milk, Akira played with his cell phone while listening to the weather report.

"Don't play with your cellphone while watching TV, choose one of the two."

The silent Maruo, he finally spoke up.

"Oke, dad."

Akira shifted his gaze from the phone screen to the TV.

"Don't you usually haven't left for work yet?" Akira saw his father's expressionless face.

Without taking his eyes off the newspaper, Maruo turned the page and said:

"The hospital is not busy, and there is something dad needs to do before going to the hospital."

"I understand." Akira nodded in understanding and no longer asked.

Even though his father didn't mention that "something", Akira had already guessed the answer. Every time Akira and his five sisters entered school on the first day, their father and mother would accompany them, then they would take a family photo at the school gate as a memento.

In the photo album of the Nakano Family, there is also a photo of Akira and his five sisters on the first day of kindergarten and elementary school. It must be said, Maruo has Kuudere traits.

20 minutes later, Ichika, Miku, and Itsuki were wearing the Kurobara girls' high school uniform, which consisted of a black blazer, a knee-length blue skirt, a blue tie, and not forgetting the black stockings that wrapped around their beautiful and smooth legs.

Ichika : "Good morning, dad."

Miku : "Good morning, dad."

Itsuki : "Good morning, dad."

The three of them greeted Maruo, and sat down on the sofa. Akira, who was originally alone, now has Ichika sitting on his right, and Miku sitting on his left. As for Itsuki? She sat alone, munching on meat patties as an appetizer before breakfast.

"What about the high school uniform, Onee-chan? Does it look good?" Ichika asked with a sweet smile on her face.

Miku tugged at the corner of Akira's shirt, and also asked:

"I also want to hear Akira's opinion?"

Asked by his two sisters, Akira noticed the high school uniforms on Ichika and Miku. His eyes stopped for a few seconds on the legs of the two girls, who were wrapped in black stockings. There was an urge in his heart to rip off the stockings.

Akira quickly regained his senses, and cleared his throat.

"Ahem, that looks good."

Ichika's lips curled into a faint smile, she noticed her little brother's gaze on her legs, or rather, her stockings.

(Hmmm... I found something interesting, apparently Akira-chan has a stocking fetish) Ichika thought in her mind, she wants to take advantage of this to win her little brother's heart.

Miku lowered her head, her bangs covering her flushed face.

Women are especially sensitive to male lecherous stares, Miku also noticed her little brother's lecherous stares on her legs, and her hands pulled up her skirt to cover her thighs.

"Isn't that a standard sentence, Akira?" Itsuki asked, she had seen that line in manga and anime too many times

.

"Itsuki is right, Akira-chan's compliments are just like how the protagonists in anime compliment girls' clothes." Ichika said dissatisfiedly, her finger poked her little brother's cheek.

"Guilty, seppuku." Miku puffed out her cheeks, and reached out her hand to poke her little brother's waist.

"Ehhh... Then what to say? I'm just telling the truth, and I'm not good at complimenting women either." Akira said helplessly, and he endured the poking of his two sisters above and below.

In his previous life, Akira had a romantic relationship with a "woman" but that relationship didn't last long either. Akira finds out his girlfriend is only dating him as a backup after she broke up with her boyfriend.

After her ex-boyfriend asks her to start dating again, the woman breaks up with Akira, and returns to her previous boyfriend.

Because of this problem, Akira was traumatized, and no longer tries to have a romantic relationship.

"Ichika, Miku, don't make fun of Akira."

Maruo helped his son.

"Dad always stood up for Akira." Ichika complained, but she complied, and withdrew his hand.

"Dad is biased." Miku nodded in agreement with Ichika.

Maruo did not dispute his daughter's accusations.

From ancient times, parents wanted sons over daughters to ensure future parental care. Take for example a history that occurred in China, which has a history of female infanticide for 2,000 years.

When Christian missionaries arrived in China in the late 16th century, they witnessed newborn babies being thrown into rivers or into garbage heaps. During the 19th century, this practice was widespread, and drowning was the most commonly used method of killing girls. Another method used was suffocation and starvation.

Of course Maruo wasn't such a cold-blooded person, even if Rena gave birth to a daughter for him. He will care for and raise his daughter with all his heart.

"Don't blame dad. Dad just doesn't want to see me being bullied by Ichika-Nee, and Miku-Nee."

This time, it was Akira who stood up for his father.

"Mom... Dad, and Akira-chan bullied me, Miku, and Itsuki." Ichika shouted into the kitchen.

The ahoge hair on top of Itsuki's head shook, and she said in surprise:

"Eh? Why me too?"

Walking from the kitchen, Rena untied her apron, and said:

"Ichika, don't play games. Help Nino, and Yotsuba prepare the dishes."

"Ready mom."

Ichika went to the kitchen.

"I will also help."

Miku stood up, and also went to the kitchen.

"I also---."

"Itsuki, finish your meat bun first."

Before Itsuki could finish speaking, Rena interrupted her and pointed at the meat bun in Itsuki's hand.

Sitting back down, Itsuki ate the meat bun in large bites, and finished the meat bun. Then she went into the kitchen to help.

"Maruo, Akira, let's have breakfast."

Rena pulled her husband and son into the dining room.

On the dining table.

The Nakano family of 8 people sits on a chair, puts their palms together, and then says a typical Japanese sentence before eating.

"Ittadakimasu." 8x

Breakfast that morning was white rice, tamagoyaki, and miso soup.

(It's so warm)

Akira smiled faintly, enjoying the harmony of his small family. He would not let anyone destroy the peace of his family.

Whoever the existence was that messed up his family, be it Gods, Demons, Angels, or other supernatural beings.

They will become Akira's enemies!
