Fuutaro: Welcome back D… Ok, why do you look so beat up? The last time I saw you, you were completely normal.
D: Yeah, remember back last chapter where those dem- I mean girls chased me around?
Fuutaro: And, they unfortunately caught you? Hey, at least you deserved it for making me have to explain to those idiots!
Quintuplets: I-idiots?
Fuutaro: Uh oh…
D: Well, I wonder who's laughing now. Serves you right for being vengeful Fuutaro. Hey girls, who's gonna volunteer to read the review and give the disclaimer next?
Miku: C-can I do the review? I want to see what our readers thought of the story…
Yotsuba: Here! Let me do the disclaimer D-san!
D: No Yotsuba, I need you to catch Fuutaro, and I know you're the one with the highest stamina and fastest runner among the quintuplets, unlike some other quintuplet who loves Japanese warlords and old people...
Miku: …
Nino: Alright, that's it! Help me beat D-san! I can't handle him making our Miku sad like that!
Itsuki: Hey Ichika, do you have the ropes that we can use to tie D-kun?
Ichika: I think I have one at my room. We were going to use it for our upcoming movie, but since we haven't planned anything yet, I guess we can use it!
D: Welp. Is this the end again? Might as well run for it as usual.
Yotsuba: You won't get away this time D-san.
D: Oh yeah, I forgot. I messed up. Sorry!
Miku: N-no sorry will ever get you away with this D…
Fuutaro: Wait, isn't it time for you to move on with the disclaimer and the reaction review?
Miku: Oh right, let me read…
*reads*
Miku: To answer your question Lance… I think you know where this goes, since the author can't think of any catch to it. Also, thanks for the eagerness! Can I ask if you like Japanese Warlords as I do?
Disclaimer from Itsuki: It's time for the disclaimer, and as usual, the author does not own any of the characters or the origin of the characters itself. All credits to their respective owners. Now with that done, I'm sorry for the further delay, and for the late update! Enjoy the story! Let's get him girls!
Quintuplets: Yeah!
PS From Fuutaro: There might be some minor spoilers, it may or may not be obvious, but if it is, the author is sorry for it. Also, it's time for me to run like the wind. Hopefully I can run away Yotsuba!
At the Uesugi household
"So, what's up dad? You told me that I received a letter from someone? Who's it from?" Fuutaro asked while doing his homeworks. The time that he spent in the Quintuplet Apartment wasn't enough time to finish all his homework especially that he had to teach the Quintuplets on their weakest points, much to his annoyance.
Dad looked at him with much curiosity. He knew Fuutaro doesn't have any friends at all except the Quintuplets that he was tutoring, and he knows that if they ever wanted to give Fuutaro something, they could have just given him the item that they planned to give when they meet, but it's another thing when it was at their porch.
"Look inside. Don't worry, I haven't opened the contents inside. I don't want to intrude my son's privacy, especially if it came from a cute girl." Isanari smirked, as if he wanted to provoke a reaction from his son. Fuutaro sighed while remembering the unfortunate prank that backfired on him that caused him to get stressed and worry about the Quintuplets.
'Why do people think that I have a girlfriend? It's not like anyone likes me. Love is useless at this day of time especially that it can hinder education and getting a secure life.' He thought while massaging his temples. He didn't want to provoke anymore bad reaction. A sad Quintuplet and a jealous one, or probably five was the last thing he wanted to receive from them.
"Well, let's see what's inside. Hm?" Fuutaro looked inside the content just for a letter to drop. "I'll get it!" Raiha exclaimed, wanting to read the contents of the letter. After reading it silently, her mouth fell agape. She can't believe the content it was saying, while the other two guys were curious as to what she read.
"Um, bro? I think it's better if you read it for yourself…" Raiha concluded, hardly ever believing the letter."
"What did it say? Was it from a loan shark again?"
"Nope."
"Secret Admirer?"
"Come on, be realistic son." Isanari chimed.
"I can't think of anyone else anymore." He gave up guessing, and he took the letter that Raiha was holding.
It reads:
"Dear Mr. Uesugi, we hope that you're reading this in your utmost wellbeing,"
'Well, this is strange…' thought to himself while continuing to read the letter.
"It's a pleasure to be able to send this letter to you, especially that you have exemplary grades in school. It's quite a shame that you don't have any friends, except for the quintuplets, especially that all of them like you, or much more love." the letter continued.
"What… All of them like me?" Fuutaro dumbfounded. He didn't remember anyone of the quintuplets doing something to let him know how much they love them. (Being a dense protagonist he is at first… Good job at first dense protagonist!)
"With that aside, there are things that we want you to do. We will be sending you money, a car key, and a new apartment that consists of six rooms. We will also be handling your debts, along with your Father and Sister's wellbeing." Fuutaro gasped. Just like Raiha, he can't believe that such a miracle couldn't exist. "Do you know anyone that would do something like this Raiha?" He inquired, hoping to figure out who could do such a miracle.
"Not anyone that I know, bro." Raiha answered, trying to contain her excitement at the thought that they'll be able to live a good life not drowning in debt, and also be able to eat to their hearts content.
'Of course, there is a catch.' 'Catch?' Fuutaro wondered, not liking where this might be going.
'You will have to do a list of things that we want you to do. Successful in doing so, you will own everything we gave. But, you cannot tell anyone about this, except for your family. Failure to do so will be detrimental to your life in some way, one way or another. Basically, you will know what the fail will bring to you once you actually fail. We wish you luck.' "From S." Fuutaro finished reading out loud. "Who the heck is D?" Fuutaro hissed, still brimming with curiosity from the sender.
"Whoever it is, he or she knows our plight, and would be able to help us." Isanari shrugged, while trying to stand up. "You guys should get some rest for tomorrow." He continued, feeling a bit sleepy, and went to his room.
"Sure dad! Coming!" Raiha followed suit, but stopped midway to look at her worried brother, still figuring out who was it from. "Come on bro, don't sweat it! It's probably a good thing for us!"
"Probably…" he sighed, tired from thinking about the sender. He really can't help it to feel a bit anxious about how someone that his family members knows about their debt, aside from a Quintuplet who's at this moment sleeping along with the other quintuplets in their own respective rooms.
'What are you really planning S? How do you know about us? Our debts? Who are you?' He continued to think about it. Not wanting to stress himself any further, he went to sleep.
Monday, at Asihayama
"Come on! We're going to be late for our class!" Nino exclaimed, clearly rushing from home to go to school, since they woke up late. They were busy watching movies and cartoons all day long before Sunday."
"Good morning Nakano-san!" Their classmate greeted the Quintuplets, much to their happiness.
"Good morning!" Yotsuba replied, with a shining smile that can spread out in class. After greeting, she went to her respective seat. She was beside Ichika at the left side, and Miku at the right side. Nino was in front of Miku while Itsuki was in front of Ichika. The middle was vacant, and the girls knew who it belonged to.
"Itsuki-chan, have you heard any news about Fuutaro-kun? He hasn't been contacting any of us a while back." Ichika inquired, hoping to get some news about the absence of said black-haired tutor.
"He's probably with his "girlfriend". Not like I care." Itsuki hissed, still angry at the time that he joked about his "childhood friend" and "girlfriend". The quintuplets' ears perked up at the idea, and just laughed it out.
"I don't think Uesugi would be able to get a girlfriend, especially how he resembles closely to a loser, and no friends at that." She jokingly said, knowing that it's downright impossible for him to have a girlfriend. 'and it'll help me get his heart first!' she continued, thinking that it'll be easier for her to get his love.
Miku is just silent, still staring and thinking about Fuutaro. 'Where are you Fuutaro? I want to see you so badly…' she thinks to herself, clearly daydreaming. Ichika, knowing that she was daydreaming again, whispered to Yotsuba.
"Look at Miku, Yotsuba. She's probably thinking about Fuutaro-kun," she teased. "She probably wants Fuutaro-kun all to herself. She looked at Ichika with a cheeky grin, probably about to tease Miku again. "Aww, Miku-chan's daydreaming. I have a plan Ichika!" she added.
"What is it?" Ichika wondered. "What is she thinking?" she continued to mutter to himself as to not let the other quintuplets hear.
"Just follow my suit." Yotsuba smirked devilishly. She got her phone out and called Ichika without the other Quints. Ichika, knowing the mischievous quint was up to, decided to go on with it.
"Oh my? Fuutaro-kun's calling!" Ichika shouted, much to the delight of their other three quints.
"Really!?" They shouted in unison, Miku included. Yotsuba and Ichika couldn't hold their laughter anymore and laughed out loud with tears in their face, much to their other quints dismay, irritation, and probably jealousy.
"We were just j-joking!" both Yotsuba and Ichika blurted out in unison, still laughing.
"It wasn't funny!" Nino raged, since they were really anxious of the whereabouts of Fuutaro. Meanwhile Miku and Itsuki pouted in annoyance that gave Yotsuba and Ichika the same expression that was similar to Nino.
"We-we're sorry!" Yotsuba replied, finally able to stop the urge to laugh even more. "Don't worry about Fuutaro, he's probably sick in his futon, especially with what happened last Saturday!" Ichika assured them, which made the other sigh in relief.
"Hopefully… I just want to see him already…" Miku muttered out, hoping that no one would hear them.
Just then, Fuutaro's friend (Wow, I didn't think he'd be able to have friends at this stage.) Yuusuke came into the room with a sad expression, with tears almost being visible. The Quintuplets noticed him and he brushed his almost-visible tears away.
"What's wrong Takeda? Did you get rejected by a girl?" Nino said, curious about the reason why he was crying.
"It's nothing! I'm just tired from studying." He lied, hoping that he would get away with it. Not convinced, Itsuki decided to pry on it further.
"Nothing? It doesn't seem like "nothing" to me at all. Is there something wrong Takeda-kun?"
"You'll know in soon time, you'll find out…" Takeda replied, not being able to hide it much longer. "The class is about to start. Let's go sit in our place now." Takeda finished, going to his position and lying face down on his desk, quietly tearing up again.
The quintuplets were worried about at this point. "I think this may have something to do with Uesugi-san…" Yotsuba finally admitted. They reacted with an anxious face that shouts for info about Fuutaro. "I think it has something to do with the package he received I think?" Miku meekly said. They knew that Fuutaro was acting strange after the phone call he received.
"I don't think it's about that. Maybe his girlfriend broke up with him?" Itsuki wondered, while holding a hotdog that she was about to eat.
"Doesn't sound like Takeda to me. He focuses on his study remember?" Nino replied, whilst looking at the sky. 'I hope it doesn't have to do anything about you Uesugi…' she hoped, since Fuutaro was absent.
Then, the homeroom teacher had arrived, and asked his students to sit down on their chairs. "Class, please take your seats." The quintuplet followed suit after the instruction of their homeroom teacher.
Before we begin our class, I have some rather unfortunate news regarding one of our students.
The Quints perked their ears up, hoping it wasn't about Fuutaro Uesugi. The Uesugi that at first they didn't like at first. The Uesugi that wanted to help the Nakano's to graduate and be able to pursue their life choices.
As if on chronological order, they only have one thought.
'Please don't' Ichika started to think.
'Tell us' Nino continued.
'It'sabout' Miku followed suit.
'Uesugi-san. I don't' Yotsuba thought.
'Want to lose him…' Itsuki finished the "train of thought" (I don't know if it meant what I think it means)
'I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!' they synchronously thought (I wonder how telepathic would they have to be in order for them to think of the same person. Then again, I don't think it's highly impossible, since you know, quints?)
The homeroom teacher cleared his throat out before continuing to speak, which made the Nakano Sisters more nervous and grew more anxiously at the edge of their seats.
The Teacher shouted in the room so everyone would hear the news. "Fuutaro Uesugi h-"
