Chapter 03 - Exam and Curry

"Fuutarou-kun will be our teacher?" Ichika asked as she looked at Fuutarou.

"Papa hired him he said." Itsuki replied.

"Itsuki! Would you believe everyone if they said they knew papa?" Ichika shouted at her sister but Itsuki didn't back down.

"No, but I'm sure Uesugi-kun isn't a bad person!"

"Oh? How would you know?" Ichika asked.

"We were together earlier at the library and Uesugi-kun taught me!" Itsuki replied back.

"Ara, so you were alone together with a guy?" Ichika smiled as she teased her younger sister, who blushed brightly like a ripe tomato.

"Wha–?! It–It's not like that!!" Itsuki shouted at her sister while denying her accusations.

"Fufu," Ichika laughed amusedly as Itsuki covered her face with her hands to hide her blushing face.

And while this is happening, the other Quintet members and Fuutarou watch the two as they continue to bicker with each other.

"Are the two always like this?" Fuutarou asked and looks at the other Quintuplets.

"Not always. Oh but Miku and Nino argue all the time," Yotsuba replied to his question.

"Yotsuba! Why would you say that in front of Fuu-kun!" Nino grabs Yotsuba and scolds her, blushing slightly while doing so.

"This is stupid. I'm going back to my room." Miku then tried to walk upstairs but Fuutarou stopped her.

"Miku wait!" With his shout, all of the Quintuplets looked at him, wondering why he had stopped Miku.

"What?" Miku asked with a stern voice.

"Can't you stay?" He answered her question with another question.

"No, why?"

"I need to test your knowledge, that's why 1 I will give you all a mock exam." Fuutarou then pulled out five papers with the same questions written on them. He had already written these questions down during his time with Itsuki in the library.

"The exam consists of 100 questions and the passing score is 50. Any questions?"

Miku raised her hand.

"Yes?"

"If I got passing score, would you stop bothering me?"

"If you got a passing score, I'd only teach your sisters. If you got a passing score that is."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Congratulations! You all got 100... combined," Fuutarou said, looking at their beaming faces that quickly turned into frowns.

"Earlier I thought that, umm, who was the quint who asked me earlier?"

" " "Miku" " "

"Yeah her. I thought that Miku will get the passing score." Fuutarou looked at the Quints, who were fidgeting in their seats under his gaze.

"Haah, alright. My name is Uesugi Fuutarou, a highschool student at Asahiyama High School and I'll be your tutor until you need me. Please take care of me."

"Nakano Ichika, a highschool student at Asahiyama. I'm looking forward to your lessons, teach."

"Nakano Nino, a high school student. Please teach me lots and lots, Fuu-kun."

"Nakano Miku, a highschool student. Please take care of me."

"Nakano Yotsuba! Highschool student at Asahiyama! Please take care of me!"

"Nakano Itsuki, a highschool student. Please take care of me."

"Now that introductions are away. We'll start the lessons tomorrow as it's already dark outside and I need to go home." Fuutarou said and packed his bag. He then started walking towards the door.

"I'll lead you outside, Fuu-kun." Nino said and joined him.

As the two went down from the Quints' apartment, Nino started random topics to chat about. Both of them didn't notice that they were already on the first floor.

Once they're outside, Fuutarou waved goodbye to Nino and started walking. But he was stopped by Nino and offered him a ride home by a taxi. Fuutarou refused and told her to go home but Nino insisted to ride together so the two got inside the taxi and it drove to Fuutarou's house.

As Fuutarou was about to reach the door, it suddenly opened and out came Raiha, his little sister. She jumped at him and Fuutarou caught her. Raiha hugged her brother tightly until she noticed that he wasn't alone at all. When Raiha saw Nino, who was smiling at them, her face turned bright red and she let go of her brother, hiding behind him.

"Umm... Onii-chan, is she one of your students?" Raiha pointed at Nino while looking at her brother.

"That's right." Fuutarou smiled as he patted his sister's head.

"Fufu, I'm Nakano Nino, what's your name?" She went closer to Raiha and crouched down.

"My name is Uesugi Raiha." Raiha cheerfully replied.

"Then, can I call you Raiha-chan?" Nino asked and smiled at Raiha.

"Uhn!" Raiha beamed brightly.

"Nice to meet you, Raiha-chan!"

"Nice to meet you too, Nino-san. Onii-chan! Can Nino-san have dinner with us?!" Fuutarou smiled and said,

"You have to ask the person themselves, Raiha."

"Nino-san?"

"Yes, Raiha-chan?" Nino already knew what the question was, but she still asked.

"Will you have dinner with us?" Raiha asked with puppy eyes

"S-Sure Raiha-chan." Seeing the puppy eyes, Nino couldn't refuse... Not that she would anyway.

"Yatta! Come inside Nino-san!" Raiha pulled Nino into their house.

"Slowdown Raiha-chan, I'm not going anywhere." Nino chuckled at this. For her, it feels like she gained another sister. But then, a random thought came into her mind. If she marries Fuutarou, wouldn't Raiha-chan be her actual sister? Suddenly, heat crept into her face and she shook her head to shoo the thoughts away. 'Married?! We're not even going out together yet...' Nino thought. She looked at Fuutaro, who in turn, was looking at them. The two made eye contact, but Nino quickly averted her gaze and went inside the house with Raiha.

Fuutarou was confused as to why Nino averted her gaze, but he noticed that she was bright red. Now that Fuutarou thought about it, Nino and Raiha looked good as sisters. Just like Nino, a random thought intruded his mind - if he married Nino, wouldn't she be Raiha's sister? If he married Nino, wouldn't that make Raiha very happy? Fuutarou's face had a hint of red and he thought, 'One day for sure, I'll ask her out.' Fuutarou then went inside.

Once inside, Futarou saw that Raiha was already preparing and Nino was helping too. Fuutarou told them that he would help, but Nino told him to just sit down. He sat down just as he had been told. As Fuutarou continued to look at her, he began to think that she would make a great wife. He became bright red once again. He was so focused on her that he didn't even notice his father sitting beside him.

"She'd be a great wife, huh?" His father, Uesugi Isanari, said.

"Yeah..." Fuutarou absently minded replied.

"Why not marry her?" His father asked, while chugging a canned beer he bought before coming home.

"That's the plan. Im going to mar- AHH! DAD!" Fuutaro shouted, and since their house was small, Raiha and Nino heard his shout and looked at him.

"Onii-chan?" Raiha asked.

"Fuu-kun? What's wrong?" Nino worriedly asked.

"N-Nothing..."

"He was thinking of marrying you earlier and let his thoughts slip out so I teased him about it." Isanari finished his last can of beer and drank it. He had been drinking ever since he arrived.

"DAD?!" Fuutaro shouted at his dad, then looked at Nino, who was bright red. Once again making eye contact, the two of them averted their eyes, while Isanami laughed at their reactions.

After that, they had dinner. The meal consisted of rice and curry, it may not be much but they enjoyed it nonetheless. When Nino tasted the curry, she found it quite good. While Raiha might not be good as her, she has a talent for cooking. Nino decided that when she visits next time, she will teach Raiha about more recipes and it's a good opportunity to learn more about Fuutarou's taste. 'It's not because I'm going to marry Fuutarou in the future. It's because I'm going to make him a bento!' She thought. What a tsundere, her words betray what she really wants. A tsundere through and through.
