Chapter 21: Preparations for the Festival
At Asahiyama High School
"Alright, everyone. I welcome you back here at school after your summer holidays, which I'm sure have been fantastic", told the Social Studies teacher to his students.
"Thank you, Sensei.", replied the class in unison, with Fuutarou and his girlfriends smiling at the memory of their holiday at the beach.
"As you well know, Asahiyama prepares a school festival to which students can invite their families and friends to enjoy some games together or other events during the festival. Usually it's the class reps' duty to take care of this, so it's your turn to talk.", said Bald Rat-sensei, looking at Takeda and Tsubaki.
"Thank you, Sensei. Like the teacher explained, it's our duty as clas reps to take care of what our class is going to do for the school festival, so the first thing that I ask you everyone, is to suggest some activities that we can do for that occasion.", told Takeda to his classmates after getting up from his desk and standing by Tsubaki's side in front of the black board.
"Any activity will be written on the blackboard, and we can choose just 3 to do at the festival by voting. So make your suggestions, everyone hehe!", said instead Tsubaki, giggling.
As the summer holidays were finished, after Fuutarou had fun with passing 10 days at the beach with Raiha and the quints, an occasion where the 5 sisters filled him with various kisses, they were back at school to re-start the lessons and also to prepare for the school festival.
'Hmm, a suggestion huh? Maybe Fuutarou-kun will like this hehe.', though Ichika, raising her hand.
"Yes, Ichika-San? Do you have a suggestion?", asked her Tsubaki.
"How about we organize a café? The boys can dress as butlers and the girls as maids.", she replied, causing everyone's eyes to widen.
"T-that's a great idea! I vote for it!", shouted various boys, making the teacher yell at them to calm down.
"A café huh? Nice idea, Ichika-San. Do you have other ideas, everyone?"
"I-I would like to organize a stand to cook something l-like pancakes.", shyly proposed Miku, getting a nod in agreement by some of her classmates.
"Good, a pancake stand. Other ideas?", asked Takeda this time.
"I thought about a shooting game with prizes like stuffed animals or toys. Kids would like that.", proposed Fuutarou, getting a lot of nods from the girls, who blushed for showing his caring side.
"I like Fuu-kun's idea too!", said Nino, smiling at her and her sisters' boyfriend.
"Good, we have 3 nice activities that we as can organize. Now you can decide which activity you want to do by raising your hand. So make your choice, everyone!", said a cheerful Tsubaki, getting various "Oh yeah!" from his classmates.
So the whole class started to decide who will take care of what by making everyone raise his/her hand to choose. And the results were interesting: Ichika and Yotsuba would take care of the café with other students, Miku, Tsubaki and Matsui would help with the pancake stand while Fuutarou, Nino and Itsuki would organize the shooting the game. Takeda, Maedandn the rest of the class were the last ones to make their choices.
"Very good, everyone. Since we all made our choices, from tomorrow we will stats to gather the materials and other things that we need for the activities. For now we can let Sensei start the lesson.", said Takeda, getting back to his desk like his girlfriend did.
So Bald Rat-sensei started to explain some historical events to his students, even if everyone's mind thought more about the incoming school festival. The quints in particular thought about it, as this was the first school festival with their beloved Fuutarou. And they wanted to make it an unforgettable event like the Kyoto trip.
In the cafeteria
After the lessons of the morning ended, each student went to have lunch in the cafeteria, with the young blond tutor eating with his girlfriends.
"Fuu-kun, say "Aah" ", told him Nino, offering a piece of meat from the bento that she made for him every day since she confessed to him.
The young man complied and opened his mouth, eating the food offer and smiling, delighted with how good it tasted.
"Mouu, don't act so lovey-dovey with Fuu-chan just because you're his official girlfriend at school.", said a pouting Itsuki, as she wanted to feed Fuutarou lovingly.
"Hehe, don't worry, Itsuki-chan. Fuutarou-kun will let us kiss him later in compensation.", told her Ichika, patting her on the back. That managed to make each quint blush and giggle.
"And you also have to play with me, Fuu! I want to defeat Bowser together!", said Yotsuba with her cheerful smile, getting a nod and a smile from him.
"F-Fuutarou, I'm curious: why did you propose that idea in class?", asked him Miku.
"Because I thought about what to do after high school, and I decided that I want to work in a kindergarten or an orphanage to take care of kids.", he replied with a smile, making each quint surprised with a blush on her cheeks.
"T-That's a beautiful i-idea, Fuu-chan!", said a smiling Itsuki, liking how his idea was similar to hers about becoming a teacher like Rena.
"I thought that you would have like becoming a lawyer or something else, Fuutarou-kun. But Onee-San loves your choice anyway hehe.", told him instead Ichika, giggling.
Also Miku, Nino and Yotsuba liked Fuutarou's choice, so they giggled and told him that he would be great at taking care of kids, making him thank them and Ichika and Itsuki too with some headpats.
'Having the support of your 5 is the best thing ever. And of course I will help you too to achieve your dreams, girls.', he thought, glad to have such dumb but supportive quints as his girlfriends.
At the supermarket
Following the end of lunchtime and of the rest of the lessons, Takeda and Tsubaki had asked some students to possibly gather some materials for the festival activities, just to prepare something earlier.
It ended up that various students had accepted to go gather the needed materials, including Miku that said that she would go to the supermarket to gather the sugar and the flour for the pancakes.
Of course she wasn't be able to carry various packets of flour and sugar alone, so Fuutarou was now with her at the supermarket to help her while her sisters went to the Pentagon with their limousine to study in advance. Their boyfriend would help them with some doubts once he and Miku were done at the supermarket.
"F-Fuutarou, can you help me? I c-can't reach there.", asked Miku to the blond guy while struggling to reach some packets of sugar.
"Sure, Miku-chan.", he said, grabbing 2 packets of sugar that Miku put in her basket.
"T-thank you again for coming here with me. I-I was worried to c-carry everything alone hehe."
"Not on my watch. Also, if you think about it, we look like a married couple like this haha.", he replied, causing the headphones girl to blush profusely.
"M-M-Married?!", she stuttered, starting to imagine being married to the handsome blond guy, with steam coming out of her ears when she thought about something kinda lewd.
"Oho, it seems that I have a perverted girlfriend haha.", said Fuutarou, causing Miku to blush deeper while trying to deny what she imagined. Her boyfriend's teasing got her pretty well.
Said boyfriend took her hand and smiled, telling her to hold on tight to not get lost. Miku, still flushed, smiled back at him and nodded, holding his hand while they went to take the flour.
Since Tsubaki and Matsui said that they would bring the frying pans and other kitchen utensils from their houses, Miku and the other students in charge of managing the pancake stand just needed to gather a lot of supplies for the ingredients.
And who better than her handsome and beloved Fuutarou to help her? No one else of course. After all, passing the time alone made her always happy. And she was even happier after knowing what the young man wanted to do after graduating. But that also brought up a question that needed an answer.
"F-Fuutarou, you said that you wanted to work in a kindergarten or in an orphanage, but you need t-to go to the university first to do that, right?", she asked him.
"Yeah, that's true. But don't worry, I will make sure to choose one not too far away from here. So if you and your sisters happen to choose another path, I won't have troubles to see you when I have free time.", he replied with a toothy grin, giving her an answer that made her smile happily.
"I-I'm glad to know it, Fuu-Mmh?!", she started to say before he captured her lips in a nice kiss. Her blush increased while moaning and returning the kiss lovingly.
They kissed for one or 2 minutes before detaching their lips. "You were off guard, Miku-chan. It makes you easier to kiss."
"I-I d-don't m-mind that y-you kiss me like that.", she replied, touching her lips while being still flushed. Hearing that made Fuutarou smile, so he leaned forward to give her another kiss that made her moan.
Some old women noticed the sweet affection between the 2 teenagers and giggled; seeing such love between young people was truly beautiful.
After Miku and Fuutarou finished to buy the ingredients for the pancakes while the young man stole some kisses from his girlfriend, the 2 of them exited from the supermarket and started to walk towards Fuutarou's bike.
But before they reached it, 2 idiots approached and started to bother them. "Hey cutie, what are you doing with this loser? You should come to have fun with us!"
"Yeah, forget this idiot haha.", said the other, and their words caused Miku to glare at them. She hated it when people insulted Fuutarou!
"Loser? Aren't you describing yourselves, idiots?", was Fuutarou's reply, who chuckled at their expenses.
"How dare you make fun of us! Stop laughing!", said the first idiot.
"Sorry, but you 2 are so pathetic to flirt with my girlfriend that it makes me laugh. Any problem with that?", said the young tutor, smirking.
One of them then threw a punch towards Fuutarou, but it was a bad choice as the blond guy blocked it with his left hand while he delivered a right fist to the idiot's gut, who fell on the ground while touching his stomach.
Fuutarou then looked at the other idiot, who trembled under the icy glare of Fuutarou's light blue eyes. So instead of being a complete idiot, he took his friend and ran away quickly.
'That's what you get for trying to steal Miku or one of her sisters from me, assholes', thought the blond punk, grinning. He then was enveloped in a hug by Miku, who placed her face against his chest. A hug that he reciprocated.
"F-Fuutarou, you were amazing. My sisters and I are glad to have someone s-so protective like you as our boyfriend.", she happily told him.
"Thank you, Miku. Everyone who dares to hurt you girls is a jackass that wants to be beaten up haha.", he replied with a chuckle, making her giggle as well.
They continued to hug each other for a while before hopping on Fuutarou's bike and leave the supermarket's parking area to go to the Pentagon.
At the Pentagon
Some minutes later, the 2 teenagers arrived to the Pentagon and Fuutarou helped Miku with the bags after parking his bike.
They then entered in the building and took the elevator, with Miku leaning her head on her boyfriend's shoulder with a smile on her face.
Once they reached the right floor, the young man knocked on the quints' apartment's door, which was opened by Yotsuba that immediately hugged Fuutarou when she saw him.
"Welcome back, Fuu, Miku!", said the cheerful girl, starting to plant various kisses on Fuutarou's face.
"Hey, we want to kiss him too!", said instead Nino, Ichika and Itsuki, who got up from the couch to kiss the young man's face too. And even a pouting Miku did so.
"O-ok, enough. I like it when you show me your affection, but I need to help you to study now. My job is to help you to graduate together with me after all.", he told them, making them stop kissing me and pout before smiling and nodding.
So the young man went to the kitchen to put away the ingredients to make the pancakes at the festival, reminding his girlfriends to not use them, and then he sat down near the couch to help them with what they struggled with while he and Miku were at the supermarket.
As it seemed, they did pretty well the most part of their math exercises and English translations; after all, the young man had suggested them months ago to help each other too to ameliorate faster.
But despite that, the quints wanted to have their boyfriend to help them anyways, so they could be clingy with him as much they wanted. In fact, as soon as he sat down, a blushing Itsuki sat down on his lap and asked him with to help with a Japanese literature's question.
"Fufu, Itsuki-chan is very sly to sit on Fuutarou-kun's lap.", said Ichika teasingly.
"N-no fair! I-I wanted to sit on Fuu's lap too!", complained a pouting Yotsuba, who pouted just like Miku.
"Fuu-kun, I want to sit on your lap too next time!", said Nino, hugging Fuutarou's arm. He chuckled before telling her hat he would let her sit there too. And so he promised to her sisters as well.
After that, he checked the question that Itsuki needed help with on her notebook, his face very close to hers. Such closeness made Itsuki's cheeks blush deeper and smile, finding blissful to feel Fuutarou's comforting warmth like that.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me: would you like to see me in some maid costumes, Fuutarou-kun? You can help me and Yotsuba to choose one for the café at the festival hehe.", suddenly asked Ichika to the young man, attracting the attention of her sisters too with such question.
"H-helping you to choose a costume? Why not? I'd like see you with a cute maid costume haha.", he replied, making her smile.
"T-then I will try a costume too!", said Miku all of sudden, blushing profusely.
"Me too!", shouted Itsuki and Nino instead, followed by Yotsuba.
So the quints got up and went inside Ichika's room to try on some maid costumes while Fuutarou sweatdropped and smiled.
'They want me to see them in maid costumes that much? Hahaha. They are incredible!', he thought, chuckling at the umpteenth shenanigans of his girlfriends. If he wrote about each one of their shenanigans, he'd manage to write a book.
And while he was waiting for his girlfriends to show in some maid costumes, Fuutarou sent a message to Raiha to tell her about the incoming school festival and about the activities that he and his class would organize.
He got a quick reply from her that said that she would come the festival at all costs, especially as she looked forward to the shooting game with prizes. Such reply made her brother smile before sending her a text to tell her that he looked forward to eat her signature Uesugi curry as usual.
"Fuutarou-kun, look here at your Onee-San.", suddenly called Ichika's voice for him.
The young man stopped looking at his smartphone to see Ichika wearing a yellow maid costume with a short skirt and without things. She also the part on the chest emphasizing it.
"Well, what do you think, Fuutarou-kun?", she asked him, approaching him slowly.
"I-it looks great on you, Ichika-chan.", he replied, blushing.
"Fuu-kun, look at mine too hehe."
Fuutarou saw then Nino coming from his right with a hand on her left hip, wearing a purple maid sleeveless outfit with a black skirt and long white thighs.
Nino, a little flushed, sat down next him and wrapped her arms around his arm. "Well, what do you say of my outfit, Master?", she asked him seductively.
"A-also yours looks amazing, Nino-chan.", he replied, blushing more for being called Master.
But on a cue, also Miku, Yotsuba and Itsuki appeared in some maid outfits: a blue one with a nice view of her cleavage for Miku, a cute green sleeveless one for Yotsuba and an elegant red long sleeved for Itsuki.
"F-Fuutarou/F-Fuu/F-Fuu-chan, what do you think of ours?", the 3 of them asked him, embarrassed but sweet eyes.
The young man smiled, " I guess that I'm really you 5 dummies as my girlfriends. You're too beautiful haha."
His reply made each quint blush a storm, and as they were used to him calling them dumb, they started to fill him with kisses on the face.
' These 5 love kissing me so much?', he thought, blushing and sweatdropping at how much affection his girlfriends gave him.
"A-alright, I helped you and Yotsuba to choose your maid outfits, Ichika. Let's get back to studying now.", he said, making his girlfriends stop kissing him and pout.
"Mouu, but I w-want to keep kissing you, Fuu-chan!", complained Itsuki.
"I'm already full of kiss marks. If things go further, I will probably start to kiss you 5 on the neck and maybe do something less innocent.", he replied with a dangerous smile, causing them to blush at what he meant. Even if some of them smiled and as they wouldn't take a step forward with him.
So, after the quints went to change back to their usual clothes, the group continued to study with this time a blushing Yotsuba sitting on Fuutarou's lap while he hugged her around the waist.
'Hehe, being hold by Fuu like this is truly beautiful.', she thought, smiling at how her childhood love kept hugging her from behind. Her sisters, on the other hand, leaned their heads on his shoulders to have his attention, which was reciprocated by some headpats whenever he praised then for doing well an exercise.
Their study session continued like this for some hours, after which Fuutarou had to go home to have dinner with Raiha and Isanari. His girlfriends wanted him to stay and have dinner with them, but he smiled and told them that they could see him again the day after as usual.
They smiled back at him, and after some kisses from each quint and receiving a little bag of cookies from Nino and one of onigiri from Miku, the blond punk waved to them before exiting through the apartment to leave the Pentagon and go home.
Outside the Pentagon
Once he got out of the Pentagon, before getting his bike to go home, the young tutor received a call on his phone. He took out the smartphone and checked the caller ID: it was Takeda.
"Hello, Takeda? What's up, buddy?", said Fuutarou while answering.
"Hello, Fuutarou-kun. I'm sorry to disturb you, but I wanted to know if you planned already how to gather the prizes for the shooting game."
"Oh, that? Let's say that I can ask some of my neighbors if they have some old toys or stuffed animals kept in good conditions to give me for the game. I also have Itsuki and Nino that can help me to gather some prizes to use."
"Perfect, the shooting game will be easier to organize then. Also, I wanted to ask you if you could help with the café by dressing and serving the customers as butler during the festival."
Fuutarou raised an eyebrow, "What? Why? You know that I have already 5 girlfriends, right? I'm not interested in other girls."
"Y-yeah, I k-know, but I think that w-with your help, the maid/butler café will have a lot of success haha."
"Fine, I will help with that too. But not also with the pancake stand, got it?"
"Perfectly clear, Fuutarou-kun. Now I must go as I'm helping Tsubaki-San to search for all the frying pans in her house. Have a good dinner!"
"You too, buddy.", replied the blond punk, sighing and smiling. Honestly, he didn't want to help with the maid/butler café too, as he wanted to concentrate only on the shooting game. But since Takeda said that his help would benefit the activity's success, maybe dressing for once as butler wasn't a bad idea.
As far as he knew, even if the whole school was aware that he was Nino's boyfriend, since he and the quints wanted to avoid annoying rumors, the girls of his class or others still looked at him as the most handsome guy of Asahiyama. They found Takeda attractive too, but Fuutarou's bad boy look and confident demeanor were way more interesting to their eyes.
'Tsk, even if they flirt with me or something, I will never cheat on my 5 girlfriends. I didn't confess to them in Kyoto for nothing.', he thought with a chuckle. Being still popular didn't bother him, but he wouldn't fall for the charms of other girls as his relationship with the quints was very important for him. He loved them very much after all.
So, after finishing to talk with Takeda on the phone, the young man went to hop on his bike, turn on the engine and leave the parking area directed towards his house, where a delicious plate of Uesugi curry awaited for him.
Honestly, he would have liked to stay a little more at the quints' apartment; their maid outfits had made them even more attractive to his eyes. He wanted to do something more other than kissing and hugging, but he would wait; at the moment he was glad to have all of them as his girlfriends, and after the Kyoto trip and their holiday at the beach, he looked forward to pass a fantastic festival with them. And the 5 sisters felt the same way as him obviously.
A/N
Chapter 21 is here, everyone! Looks like that the summer holidays went great for Fuutarou, Raiha and the quints, and now the young tutor and his 5 girlfriends are back to school where a fantastic festival is in programm.
Fuutarou's class seems to have decided which activities to do and who will organize them all. Also, we know now what he planned to do after graduating, with his girlfriends happily supporting his decision. Said girlfriends also acted clingy with him as usual, this time wearing some nice maid outfits that Fuutarou found very attractive haha.
But now Takeda asked him if he could help with the maid/butler café, so what can happen next before the start of Asahiyama's festival. Stay tuned to find out.
See ya!
