"Let's look at yours first, Hikigaya," Shizuka Hiratsuka's sharp gaze turned towards Hikigaya Hachiman.
"So-called youth is a lie, a sin..."
"Fools intoxicated by youth, turn to dust!"
"I say, Hikigaya, did you seriously read the question?"
"Why would you write something like a criminal declaration!"
"That's my view on interpersonal relationships..." Hikigaya explained weakly.
"I think you're the one who should turn to dust!"
"Sigh!" Shizuka Hiratsuka massaged her forehead, turning her gaze to Mochizuki, who was snickering nearby, and spoke irritably.
"It's your turn!"
"Regarding loneliness, do you think you came up with a good title?"
"If you're troubled by interpersonal relationships, just destroy them and you won't be troubled anymore.
If everyone is lonely, there will be no quarrels or disputes..."
Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed filled with deep helplessness, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
"Phew~" A circle of smoke rose into the air...
"How did I teach you two guys!"
Meanwhile, Mochizuki's homeroom sensei, seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka finally start scolding Mochizuki, revealed a gloating expression on his round, fat face.
But he didn't dare to laugh out loud, which made his face flush slightly.
You little brat slandered me!
"Hiss!" Hikigaya Hachiman gasped, listening intently to Mochizuki's essay that Shizuka Hiratsuka had just read.
He was very surprised, a glimmer of light actually appeared in his dead fish eyes, and he felt some admiration for this person named Mochizuki in his heart!
This person, perhaps, has the same insight into youth as him, the same spirit as him, and perhaps can become his comrade!
But then Hikigaya thought of seeing Mochizuki's transformation twice, from an unremarkable person to a handsome guy.
Forget it, he's not worthy!
This lonely road, he can only walk it alone!
Mochizuki, on the other hand, felt like he was going to socially die.
He thought the essay he wrote was pretty good.
But having it read out so loudly in the office was too embarrassing!
The teachers around couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.
What did these two students write?
Why do students nowadays always sing praises of youth?
They're just kids!
He really wanted to borrow their essays from Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher and take them back to his class as negative examples!
"Ring ring ring~" The class bell rang.
Hearing the bell, both Mochizuki and Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, you two can go back, remember to rewrite a good one for me!"
"Yes..."
"Yes..." Two listless voices responded to Shizuka Hiratsuka.
"Haha, Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher, your two students are really interesting."
"I feel like what they wrote was quite interesting."
The surrounding teachers said to Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher.
...
Returning to the classroom, they easily got through the morning classes.
It was lunchtime, time to eat.
Next to May, some classmates she had just met that morning were inviting her to eat together.
"Nakano student, want to go to the cafeteria to eat together?"
"We'll show you around the campus after we eat!"
...
"No, thank you, I'm sorry."
"I've made plans with someone else."
The few excited female classmates were a little disappointed that they couldn't eat with the cute Nakano student.
They thought she was going with her sisters, but there would be another chance next time!
Nakano Itsuki walked towards Mochizuki, and the remaining classmates around were a little curious.
Could it be that Nakano student was attracted to Mochizuki student?
Is Nakano student that proactive?
The boys were even more furious, gnashing their teeth.
This was a new beautiful girl student!
They hadn't even had a chance to talk to her yet.
Hope was shattered just like that.
But soon, hope was rekindled.
It turned out they knew each other, they were relieved.
"Wang Yue Table Brother, let's go eat!"
"Okay, let's go."
...
"Huh..."
"Huh..." The surrounding classmates were very surprised, making sounds of astonishment.
What!
Table Brother?
They're actually siblings.
Mochizuki-kun and Nakano student are actually relatives!
That's really good news for them.
No wonder they went to eat together, Mochizuki-kun must be showing her around the campus.
And the boys' gazes towards Mochizuki gradually became friendly, kind, and strange...
So they're relatives, then Nakano student wasn't snatched away, they misunderstood Table Brother!
Shiina Mahiru naturally also saw Mochizuki going to the cafeteria with May, feeling a bit bitter and envious.
What was going on?
Just like that, under everyone's envious gazes.
Mochizuki and May walked out of the classroom and notified the other sisters to go to the cafeteria together.
Soon, Mochizuki brought The Five Sisters to the cafeteria.
Immediately, they attracted a lot of attention.
Many students who were eating together were whispering.
"I haven't seen them before!"
"Are they transfer students?"
"Hey, there's one from our class.
How did it turn into five!!"
"Nonsense, that's clearly from our class!"
"These, these are quintuplets!
Really?
First time seeing them!"
...
Mochizuki and The Five Sisters, the six of them, just happened to occupy a table.
Many students' gazes were focused on them.
Quintuplet sisters!
Who has seen them normally?
And all five are so beautiful.
Appearing before them like this was truly a beautiful sight!
But!
Can someone tell them who that boy next to them is!
Why can he sit at the same table as The Five Sisters and eat with them!
Why!
When did the school get such a handsome guy!
Even if you're a little handsome, you can't monopolize five beautiful girl sisters by yourself!
What a detestable guy!
Even the cafeteria auntie serving food and the convenience store auntie's gossiping hearts were burning.
They couldn't help but size up these five identical-looking sisters.
"A-Auntie."
"Auntie... stop looking, don't shake your hand... the meat, it's all falling off."
A boy reminded the auntie serving food with a tearful face.
"Oh oh oh, I'm sorry, this student."
"I'll give you a new one..."
...
"Stop looking, Auntie, hurry and give me the change!"
It was the same at the convenience store, the already crowded line had been stopped for a long time.
Gradually, various rumors about The Five Sisters and Mochizuki spread throughout the school!
For example, the school actually has new transfer students who are quintuplet sisters.
The quintuplet sisters are already taken, by the same man!
Scumbag, juggling five relationships, got caught, confronting in the cafeteria...
Fortunately, there were also informed people reporting the truth, that the mysterious male student and The Five Sisters are cousins.
As for what everyone believed, it was unknown.
...
Attracting so much attention all at once made Mochizuki very unaccustomed.
He was planning to live a low-key life!
The Five Sisters were already used to it, it was the same at their previous school.
So they generally wouldn't choose to eat in the cafeteria.
