In the end, Itsuki finished blocking off her seat with a bowl piled high with fried shrimp, fried squid, and fried chicken Udon noodles.
"Let's eat!"
The five of them put their hands together and began eating properly.
[Eating with the five sisters, youth points earned +10]
Five times the happiness really isn't just talk, even the youth points earned are five times as much, it's practically cheating to the point of being a crime.
Natsuhiko put a piece of pineapple bread in his mouth.
Pineapple bread, melon bread, wife cake, these things are all cases of name fraud.
There's no pineapple, no melon, no wife at all, but there are still many flavors.
Like the strawberry flavor that Natsuhiko is holding now, the taste is really good, no wonder it appears in various light novels relatively often.
"Hiko, is it really okay for a big guy like you to only eat this much?"
Itsuki put a long mouthful of Udon noodles into her mouth with chopsticks, her lips shimmering with water droplets, which can be summed up in four words: "a feast for the eyes."
(Udon noodles originated in the Tang Dynasty and appear quite often in anime!)
Of course.
If it were a normal day.
Natsuhiko is a real big eater.
However, maybe because his "man period" came, he didn't have much of an appetite today.
Just eat some bread.
Better than nothing.
"That's about it, I don't have much of an appetite today, so I'll just eat some bread to get by."
"Oh, is that so? How about I share some of my meat with you?"
The sisters who were still eating their food were all shocked.
They all had the same question.
What is Itsuki trying to do?
This is meat, her favorite meat.
"Sure, that would be great."
"I'm actually a little hungry too!"
A man's mouth is a liar's mouth.
But if a cute girl in front of you says she wants to share her food with you, presumably no man would refuse.
Right now, Natsuhiko doesn't have any tableware, chopsticks, forks, or spoons.
Could it be that Itsuki did this on the spur of the moment without thinking?
Itsuki was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Her eyes quickly scanned her bowl.
Then she gently picked out the fried shrimp.
The head and shell of the fried shrimp had already been removed before cooking, the inside was soft white meat under the coating, and it already looked quite good.
Next.
Itsuki dipped the fried shrimp in the sauce on the plate.
Finally.
She held it in front of Natsuhiko.
Emmm.
This clearly means she wants to feed him.
Right?
Natsuhiko opened his mouth and bit into the fried shrimp, which originally was just so-so, but now suddenly made him very hungry.
The taste of the shrimp, the taste of the sauce, and the feelings of the owner became a very delicious dish, and at this moment, it was full of the taste called "happiness."
"Sorry, Itsuki, give me another one!"
Subconsciously.
Natsuhiko asked again.
"Okay, Hiko, it seems like you really like fried shrimp!"
Then she repeated the above steps.
"Sorry..."
"Speaking of which, Natsuhiko, where's Takajo?"
Before Natsuhiko could ask again.
The usually quiet Miku suddenly asked something unrelated.
You should know why Takajo, who has disappeared, was brought up, Natsuhiko knew what was going on when he saw the knowing smiles on Ichika, Nino, Miku, and Yotsuba's faces.
Itsuki was suddenly interrupted.
The strange looks from her sisters made her realize that her actions just now seemed inappropriate.
Did she just... personally feed Natsuhiko her fried shrimp?
And with her own chopsticks?
Was she crazy?
In an instant.
Nakano Itsuki's face turned red from her neck up.
"I... I didn't... mean anything, I just saw that Hiko was eating a little and I also wanted to ask about the golden fried rice that Takajo was talking about."
"Yeah, yeah, we all understand!"
The sisters nodded one after another, indicating that they understood.
"Ah, you're all bad people, I'm ignoring you all."
After saying that, Itsuki started eating her Udon noodles in a fit of pique.
Then.
She immediately remembered that her chopsticks had just been in Hiko's mouth, and her heartbeat quickened a bit, and the blush on her earlobes deepened a bit.
Natsuhiko didn't continue to tease Itsuki because of this.
Too much is as bad as too little.
"Takajo went back to the classroom to rest, he's a bit weak, unlike me..."
Natsuhiko answered Miku's question.
"As for the golden fried rice."
"Nao and Takajo were both at my house yesterday, and I made them a super delicious fried rice."
"Hiko, you're not only good at studying, but also at cooking? How perfect do you want to be?"
Yotsuba said full of energy.
As if the feeding incident that had just happened didn't happen.
"It just so happens that our father has decided to ask you to be our family tutor, so can you show us your cooking skills then?"
Um.
It seems that Nakano Maruo has set his sights on him.
But this is also normal.
Natsuhiko's strength as the top of the grade and the top of the national mock exam is not something that ordinary people can have, and it just so happens that they are neighbors, so they can quickly solve things they want to discuss.
"I'm really sorry, Hiko, our father should formally visit you tonight, you can refuse if you think it's a hassle."
Nakano Ichika spoke softly, maintaining her usual style.
"The situation now is that Hiko's character is questionable, his goal is a harem, and he might extend his claws to us, should we change to someone else, sister?"
"Besides, studying is too troublesome!"
Nino played the role of the villain on the side, but did not get a response from everyone.
After all, even Nino among the sisters doesn't really believe that Natsuhiko's words are true.
"So, Hiko you'll agree, right!"
Ichika spoke again.
This time none of the other four people refuted.
"Of course I'll agree, I don't have anything to do anyway, we're good neighbors!"
There's no way he'd give up the five-way split happiness after school.
[Agreed to become the five sisters' tutor, youth points earned +100]
Sure enough.
Youth points are definitely not going to be lacking at this time.
Isn't teaching the girls you like how to study youth?
