"N-no way, he lives here?!" the 3 Quints said in unison.
The quints were shocked to know that their tutor lived in the same apartment building, just a few floors below them. And none of them even saw him here before.
"I guess that will make sending him home easier..." Yotsuba said in disbelief that her childhood crush has been living so close to her and she was none the wiser.
"Well then… I guess we should take him home. Yotsuba, can you take his left side? I'll carry his right." Ichika said while getting ready to carry their unconscious tutor to his apartment.
"I'll come too" said Itsuki who is also getting ready to go out too.
"C-can I accompany you girls too?" Miku asked meekly as she was now interested on how their tutor was living in the same building.
"Let's all go together! I want to see what Uesugi-san's apartment is like!" Yotsuba said while Fuutarou was on her and Ichika's shoulders.
Now in the Elevator heading to the 13th floor with the sleeping tutor on the back of Yotsuba.
"Fuutarou-kun is actually heavy, he doesn't look like he's this heavy earlier when he was on the floor." said Ichika, who stopped carrying Fuutarou-kun due to getting tired when they entered the elevator.
"Well he is also the same age as us" Itsuki said who was thinking on how they should explain to him when he wakes up.
Now on the 13th floor, the 4 quints and a sleeping tutor is now looking for his room number.
As they were walking through the hallway they saw an apartment with the name plate 'Uesugi' beside it.
"Hey, I think that's Fuutarou-kun's apartment" Ichika said while pointing at an apartment that has a nameplate beside it
"He actually lives here too..." Itsuki said still shocked that she and her tutor were neighbors.
"Well, let's ring the doorbell." Ichika said while ringing the doorbell.
As she rang the doorbell they heard 'Coming ' from inside the apartment. As the door opened it revealed a little girl with black hair and a ponytail who looks to be in elementary school.
"Um... Who are you four?" She asked the group of girls confused as they had the same face.
"Excuse us, but is this Fuutarou-kun's apartment?" Ichika asked the little girl whose eyes widened as she heard her brother's name.
"Onii-chan's friends?!" she said while shocked as her brother has never brought friends to their apartment ever since elementary school.
"Please come in" The girl gestured excitedly to the 4 quint to entered the apartment.
"I never thought Onii-chan would bring friends home." The girl said as they walked to the living as she noticed her brother on one of the girls back questioning what happened to him.
The 4 girls looked at each other, thinking about what to say to who they assumed to be his little sister. They couldn't possibly tell her that her brother was drugged and was kicked out from their apartment earlier by Nino.
"A-ah he just fell asleep while tutoring us um..." Itsuki said to the little girl trying to not tell her the truth.
"I'm Uesugi Raiha" The little girl said smiling at them, they all felt their heart skip a beat, seeing her pure smile.
"Y-yes he just fell asleep Raiha-chan". Yotsuba said to her as she slowly puts the sleeping tutor on his couch.
"I apologize for Onii-chan, he always sleeps late because he always study deep into the night as well as practices for his job." Raiha said giving a small bow, before looking at the girls. " Do you want some snacks?" she asked them to which Itsuki nodded immediately while the other 3 nodded as well.
"I'll be right back!" she said happily before going to the kitchen to prepare.
"His sister is really cute, that smile she gave us earlier made my heart go all 'dokyuu' ehehe" Yotsuba said as she giggled.
"Yes and she said she going to give us some snacks!" said Itsuki who's already imagining on what snacks their tutors cute little sister will bring.
"Ugh..." Their tutor groaned making the 4 Quints look at him as the effects of the drugs wore off.
"Hey, Fuutarou-kun wake up~" Ichika whispered to his ear in a teasingly tone, making him jump up from the couch and now standing.
Looking around confused seeing his living room "Wait... weren't we in your apartment uh..." he said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Fuutarou-kun, I'm Ichika and that's Miku" she said while pointing at the girl with blue headphones around her neck.
"Ah I see... well then Ichika, weren't we in your apartment?" He asked at the newly named quint "Also why are there only 4 of you girls? If I recall there were 5 of you." he asked still confused on how did he get to his apartment.
"A-ah Nino didn't come here, also you fell asleep during our tutoring session and you wouldn't wake up, so Yotsuba carried you back to your apartment." She lied, she didn't want Fuutarou to know that he was drugged because he might quit his tutoring job. She didn't want him to stop coming to their place.
"I-I see, I'm sorry to inconvenience you girls" he said embarrassed with a slight blush that he was carried back to his apartment.
'I should really sleep early from now on' he thought as he was still embarrassed that he was carried by Yotsuba from their apartment.
"Ah Onii-chan you're awake!" his little sister then hugged him after putting the snacks on the table and said welcome home, to which he smiled.
"Anyways make yourselves at home, I'll go change" he said as Raiha released her hug from him, while Fuutarou left the living room to head to his room.
Raiha then asked that how was the taste of her homemade snacks, receiving a 'delicious' from all 4 girls, especially Itsuki. The girl with the star hairpin was devouring the snacks as she gave Raiha a big smile and a thumbs up to which she smiled back.
She then asked what do they wanted to drink as they had, Matcha soda, Cola, and orange juice in their fridge.
To which Miku asked for some Matcha soda, Ichika picked Cola, Yotsuba had some orange juice and Itsuki just had water, as for Raiha she also got some orange juice.
Fuutarou then got out of his room now wearing a tight fitting shirt with board shorts, that was revealing that his body. It was surprisingly toned compared to the quint's imagination of someone who supposedly spent all his time studying, with defined biceps, broad shoulders and what looks like signs of abs forming.
Needless to say, the quint's eyes widened comically as their face exploded in an atomic blush at the sight, before Itsuki feigned coughing to reel herself as well as her sisters in.
He then got a can of matcha soda from their fridge, to which surprised Miku as matcha soda wasn't really popular among teenagers.
They then talked about tutoring sessions and he asked if Ichika and Miku would participate in the next session to which they agreed, definitely not swayed by the earlier eye candy in the slightest.
Minutes of talking flew by before they heard the sound of a door opening and a women's voice " Fuu-chan, Raiha-chan, do we have guests over?" she asked.
"Mama, Onii-chan brought some friends!" Raiha replied to the voice from the doorway revealing their mother, a beautiful women with long black hair.
"Ara~ Fuu-chan brought friends home?" she said as she walked to their living room she saw 4 girls who had the same face and her son who was talking to them.
"Fuu-chan, why didn't you told your mother that you got 4 beautiful and cute girlfriends?" she said teasingly, her lips turning into a small smirk seeing how her son squirmed in his seat while the four girls just blushed and stuttered.
"A-ah… they're the girls I'm tutoring… from the talk me and dad had the day before." Fuutarou's blush didn't lessen at all despite his attempts at calming down, and the giggles from both his mother and sister didn't help in the slightest.
"Ano… pardon the intrusion, Mother, I'm Nakano Itsuki" as she introduce herself to their tutor's mother.
"I'm Yotsuba!" Yotsuba said while giving a bright smile.
"I'm Ichika" the eldest quint said shyly, her cheeks still dusted pink from when she and her sisters were called 'cute and beautiful'.
"I-I'm Miku..." she said meekly, lowering her head while looking at her phone to hide her blush.
As she opened her phone Fuutarou's mother saw her wallpaper revealing her son not wearing his black haired wig. As she saw that she immediately giggled and asked
" Oh? Who's that on your wallpaper Miku-chan"
"A-ah that's the Idol Kintarou, I like his music..."
As she said that, Fuutarou's face immediately turned crimson before he excused himself to the kitchen. His mother saw through his attempt and just laughed lightly along with Raiha, who's also having a giggle fit at her brother's predicament.
"Ah! You like him too Miku? He looks handsome right?" said Ichika to which Miku nodded meekly.
"I-I had to admit his voice is relaxing… and some of his songs are great for studying" Itsuki said as she blushed while saying it.
"Yes! Nino likes him too right? Her room has a picture of him" Yotsuba joined in to their talk, not realising that their tutor could hear them. His mother's now struggling to hide her laugh at Fuutarou, who's face is now red as the Quints hair.
""Well then, why don't you girls have dinner with us. Also, you just call me Hayami or Mother." Fuutarou's mother told the 4 Quints, inviting them to have dinner.
"Nino might be cooking dinner already..." Miku said in a low voice.
"A-ah… we wouldn't want to intrude any longer." Itsuki said still blushing although it has toned down.
"You won't have dinner with us?" Raiha said while using the ultimate weapon of little girls
'Puppy eyes', the weapon of mass destruction dealing critical damage to the girls hearts. Before such innocence, none shall prevail.
After their quick defeat before Raiha, they asked if their other sister can join them as well, to which Fuutarou's mother agreed, while thinking that her son found 5 beautiful and cute girls. She then made her way to the kitchen with Raiha to prepare dinner.
The four called Nino and asked her if she had cooked dinner yet, to which she answered that she was about to before they called her.
"Hey Nino, have you made dinner yet?" Ichika asked her sister on the phone.
"I was about to until you called. Why are you asking me this?" she asked her sister
"Just head to the 13th floor and find the room number 7, and knock on the door when you get there. Bye~" Ichika said before hanging up the phone to which Nino found a little suspicious but went to the 13th floor anyway, trying to find the room her sister had mentioned beforehand.
As she walked along the hallway she finally found the room and knocked at the door.
While waiting for the door to open she heard footsteps from inside. As the door opened her eyes widened to see the tutor she previously drugged in an outfit she found 'hot' before saying "Hah? why are you here?!" trying to hide the slight blush she had due to seeing their tutor in that outfit. She had to admit that he looked kinda handsome in that outfit.
"Ichika told you to come here right? Well then make yourself at home" He said calmly not noticing her slight blush while gesturing her to come in.
She then sighed and went in to his apartment seeing her sisters sitting on the couch while watching television.
"Ah Nino you're here!" Yotsuba shouted before immediately rushing to her and hugging her.
She then proceeded to sit next to her sisters as Itsuki went to her and whispered "Don't tell him anything that happened earlier".
"Eh? He doesn't remember?" Nino asked her sister who nodded at her before being interrupted by Fuutarou.
"Hey Nino, want something to drink?" he asked her offering some cola to which she accepted.
"So what are you doing here?" she asked him while drinking her cola.
"Is it wrong for me to be in my own home?" He replied to her to which she choked on her drink from hearing what he said.
She had a hard time believing that he lives in the same apartment complex, as she kept asking questions on why and how he was living here, until a voice from the kitchen interrupted them.
"Ah Fuu-chan, is the other sister here?" his mother asked from the kitchen receiving a yes from him in the living room.
"Who was that?" Nino asked him but before he could reply Yotsuba beat him to it.
"That was Uesugi-san's mama. She's also really kind and beautiful" Yotsuba said with a bright smile.
As they continued talking and trying to persuade Nino to join the tutoring session, they suddenly heard the door open again hearing a voice of a man saying
""I'm home!" that received a chorus of 'Welcome home' from the kitchen and from Fuutarou. The quints then looked at the doorway to see a blonde man wearing a suit.
"Oh? We have guests?" The man said before heading into the living room to see his son talking to 5 cute girls.
"Fuutarou... You never mentioned you had a harem of 5 girlfriends... Although you have nice taste son!" The man said while giving a thumbs up to his son. The words he said made the faces of all 6 of them turn bright red while Nino tries to suppress herself at yelling at the man that she isn't his girlfriend due to her being in someone else's home.
"Dear, don't tease Fuu-chan and his friends anymore, look at them they're all red~ fufu~" Fuutarou's mother said while giggling as she came out the kitchen carrying some plates of katsu curry with Raiha.
As the quints saw the food they immediately knew that Fuutarou's mother was a talented cook, just by the smell they all knew that their dinner was about to be delicious.
"Well then, I'll go change first then we'll have dinner. Although I think we will have a lot to talk about during this dinner" Isanari said to his wife, a wide smirk visible on his face as he runs to their room to change.
"I agree, we do have a lot to talk about tonight" she giggled as she looked at the 6 teens who were still blushing.
Fuutarou also noticed what both of his parents said, he couldn't help but feel like he's going to get interrogated by them later.
"A-alright I'll prepare the table" said Fuutarou as he got up from the couch with his blush gone, replaced by a sinking feeling of dread in his gut.
Although the 5 Quints still had a slight blush on their faces.
As Fuutarou finished preparing the table, he then called the quints that they can have dinner now. As they went to the table, Isanari who just changed joined them as well as Hayami and Raiha, who brought some drinks from the kitchen.
As they started eating dinner the quints were amazed by the taste of the food, which didn't go unnoticed by Hayami and Raiha. The mother and daughter duo then asked if they liked the food, to which they received positive responses, especially from Itsuki who loved the food so much that she asked for seconds and Nino who asked about how she and Raiha made the food, to which she said she'll share the recipe later after dinner.
As they continued eating Fuutarou who finished first and then went to wash his dishes as went to his room right after he told his parents that he's going to practice for the festival to which they agreed.
The quints wondered why their tutor went to his room immediately after dinner and asked his parents, to which they said it was a secret that they would know soon enough.
As they finished dinner Hayami and Isanari wanted to talk with the 5 girls about Fuutarou to which they agreed, as they wanted to find out more about their tutor.
"So girls... what do you like about Fuu-chan?" Hayami asked the young ladies, making them all blush. They then explained that they were just tutor and students until Itsuki said
"M-me and Uesugi-kun don't have that relationship yet..."
Both of Fuutarou's parents lips perked up on one word. 'Yet'.
His father then laughed as he heard that and gave a thumbs up to Itsuki who hasn't realized what she said yet.
"Fufu~ 'Yet' eh? Don't worry Itsuki-chan you have our full support on this. He needs to smile more often and having a girlfriend will do the trick. Now how about you 4? Would you 4 like to pursue him too? We don't mind as long as all of you are happy with him."
"Don't worry about your father, I'll talk to him"
Isanari said laughing as he drank his beer, before explaining that they were best buddies during highschool.
The words the couple said made Itsuki face turn brighter than the color of her hair as she also realized what she blurted out earlier, while the other girls also turned crimson at Hayami's teasing.
As Yotsuba, Ichika, and Miku had some not-so-innocent thoughts about their tutor with what they saw him wore earlier. Nino regretted her actions earlier a little, partly due to seeing his impressive physique earlier, and also how his parents were so kind that they treated them like their own children as well.
As time flew by, dinner turn into late evening, they bid farewell to Fuutarou's parents and Raiha.
Hayami gave the recipe to Nino, accompanied by a wink and some teasing about how the young girl would be a great wife. Raiha helped packed some leftovers for the quint to take home as they all loved the food. Both Hayami and Isanari told the 5 girls that they are always welcomed to join them for dinner anytime as the sisters bowed and said goodbye before going out of the apartment and back to their floor.
Now in their apartment the sisters now gathered in their living room to discuss on what happened earlier after their tutoring session.
"So Nino, why did you do that to Uesugi-kun? He isn't a bad person, he helped me and Yotsuba earlier in our tutoring session earlier including that he helped me in class this morning." Itsuki said to her sister as Yotsuba nodded in agreement, as well as Ichika and Miku when they saw him earlier he didn't looked like a bad person.
"Fine fine I'm sorry, I'll join his tutoring session but if he mistreats any of you I'll immediately kick him out of the house." her sisters were a little shocked that she apologized immediately to say the least, and Nino didn't even try to defend her mistake.
"Fufu~ Did Nino develop a little crush on our tutor?" Ichika said while sending a teasing smile at Nino who blushed immediately as she remembered her tutor's hot body.
"N-No, I don't like that jerk at all!" Nino said as she shook her head, but her blush never left her cheeks.
"Then why are you blushing?" said Miku who pointed out her flushed face.
""E-EHH!? Nino has a crush on Uesugi-san?!" Yotsuba cried out in surprise.
"N-Nino, you just met him, isn't that way too fast?" said Itsuki who felt a bit jealous due to her meeting him first.
"I don't like that idiot!! He isn't even my type!" Nino continued to deny, glaring hard at her sisters despite her blush not waning in the slightest.
"Let's stop now, it's getting late. I'll go take a bath first" said Ichika as she stopped teasing her to which the others did as well as and they get ready for bed.
It was morning and the Uesugi family consisting of Hayami, Fuutarou and Raiha was having breakfast together. Isanari had woken up earlier and already gone to work.
"Fuu-chan, are you looking forward to meeting those girls again?" asked his mother trying to start a conversation.
"What makes you think that, Mom?" he responded.
"Hehe, I saw you blushing yesterday when you heard that all of them liked your voice and looks~" she teased at him while giving a teasing grin.
Raiha giggled, "Onii-chan found 5 beautiful girls. When can I meet my future sisters-in-law?"
"Raiha! We're just friends. We just met the other day too." Fuutarou denied, his cheeks flushed at the cheeky comment made by his sister.
"Ara~ Are you embarrassed Fuu-chan? That means you like them~" said Hayami, further embarrassing her son.
"You two are enjoying this way too much, aren't you?" Fuutarou grumbled, while the two kept giggling at him.
After the laughing ceased, Fuutarou finished up his breakfast and went to take his bag to leave. "Alright, I'll go now. See you later Mom, Raiha. Also I'll be back late, I need to meet with my manager and Ryou-san to talk about the festival in a week." he told them as he leaves the apartment while receiving
"Have a nice day Fuu-chan/Onii-chan" from the both of them. "Don't stay out too late" His mother added to which he nodded before leaving his apartment.
After a short walk from the Pentagon, Fuutarou reached the school gates when a black limousine stopped near to him. The door of the limousine opened up, revealing five redhaired identical girls getting out. When they exited from the vehicle, a bunny ribbon girl immediately noticed Fuutarou. She smiled and went to greet him,
"Good morning, Uesugi-san! I'm glad to see you again!"
"Good morning too Yotsuba, and to you 4" he replied to the other 4 girls that came out of said limousine.
The other 4 then greeted him as well. And then went inside school together while saying that Nino would participate on today's tutoring session.
"Uesugi-kun, it's better that we go to class now if we don't want to be late.", said the youngest sister, while reminding him and her sisters as to not be late as they were all busy talking.
"Ah yes, thank you Itsuki. A little heads up, we won't have a tutoring session this afternoon because I have some important business, so I'm sorry Nino, while I'm happy that you decided to join us we'll have to do this tomorrow." as he said, leaving the quint somewhat disappointed that they won't be having a session, while Nino scoffed at him hiding the fact she also felt down a little.
Class has already finished for the day, and Fuutarou leaves Asahiyama to meet his manager and Ryou, who is his friend and duet in the upcoming festival.
As he arrives at a cafe near the school, he sees his manager with Ryou sitting near a window. Stepping inside, Fuutarou noticed the two perked up at his arrival and beckoned him to come and sit before ordering some food and drinks.
Fuutarou has a cup of iced coffee and a sandwich, the same as his friend.
While the trio were talking about how the two young idols will perform at the summer festival in a week, a familiar redhead girl with butterfly ribbons walked inside the cafe with some other students.
As Nino sat down at a table and ordered, she immediately took notice of Fuutarou who was talking to an unknown man with someone beside him.
'Isn't that Uesugi? Who are those people he's with?' she thought to herself puzzled, glancing at the person with white hair beside her tutor and another person that looks like he's in the mid 30's
"Oh? Nino who's that you're looking at?" said one of the girls as she noticed Nino took a glance in another direction.
The 2 girls then looked at where she was glancing, they saw a boy with black hair and wearing their schools uniform, beside him was a boy with white hair as both of them were talking to an older man.
"Well then Ryou-san, manager. I'll see you both at the festival." He said to them as they finished their discussion about the upcoming performance.
""You too, Fuutarou-kun. We'll see you at the festival." Ryou-san said at him while giving him a wave of goodbye to which he did as well as he left the cafe, not noticing Nino and 2 other students who heard their conversation.
"Ryou-san? Where have I heard that name before?" One of the girls who's name was Akira said as she tries to think where she heard that name.
"H-he said his name was Ryou right?" the other one said while stuttering a little.
"You know him Kana?" Nino asked her other friend whose name was Kana, as the remaining teen also looks at her.
"You both don't know him? He's Kintarou's partner in that one song 'Romeo'." as she said making both Nino and Akira's mouth drop.
They didn't know that they had a student that was acquainted with someone famous.
As Ryou passed by the 3 girls exiting the cafe Nino immediately stood up and approached Ryou.
"U-Um excuse me." she said to him as he looked behind to him to see Nino.
Do you need something Ojou-chan?" he replied to the butterfly ribbon girl while giving a polite smile.
"D-do you know Uesugi?" she asked him while stuttering and having trouble with eye contact with him as well as the other 2 girls who can't make eye contact as well due to seeing his smile.
"Uesugi? Ah you mean Fuutarou-kun. Yes we are acquainted, and are you his friend?" he asked her to which she nodded at him.
The other 2 girls then stood up and asked how they were acquainted as he replied they were just friends.
"Ah my apologies, I need to go somewhere now. It was nice meeting you, Fuutarou-kun's friend." he said as he exited the cafe.
"Uesugi-kun was friends with someone famous..." Akira said in disbelief as they had a classmate who's acquainted to someone famous.
"There's more than him than a kind and studious student" Kana replied as they were all curious on why and how they were friends.
As Nino was deep in thought 'How was he friends with someone that famous? He's definitely hiding something.' until it was broken by their food that arrived.
They trio continued to talk about Fuutarou and how he was friends with Ryou until it was time to head home.
Nino spent the whole walk back to the Pentagon deep in thought about what happened earlier ' How does Uesugi know Ryou? He said they were friends... What is Uesugi hiding? I'll talk with the others about this later...' the butterfly quint's train of thought was broken by a voice calling from behind her.
As she turned around, Nino saw that
Fuutarou's mother was the one trying to get her attention.
"Nino-chan" Fuutarou's mother called, and Nino noticed she was holding a bag looking like it was from a bakery.
"Uesugi's mama?" she said as the two got closer.
As they were walking side-by-side Hayami gave Nino a box of desserts from the bag she was holding, saying it's for her and her sisters, to which the latter accepted saying her thanks.
"Um... Uesugi's mama, I have a question about Uesugi." she said asking the women making her look at her while nodding.
"Hm? Ask away Nino-chan" Hayami said to the girl allowing her to ask the question that was on her mind.
"What's Uesugi's job? I saw him at a cafe with someone famous and a middle aged man earlier." as she said that Hayami began giggling fondly, confusing Nino on why she was amused.
"I'll tell you later in our apartment, you can invite your sisters over for dinner at our house as well." she said, to which Nino nodded with a smile, remembering all the great food she got to try yesterday.
Pulling out her phone to text her sisters, she told them to go to Fuutarou's apartment to have dinner there and explained that Fuutarou's mother invited them over, to which she got a positive response from each of them.
