FUCKIN' 21,000 WORDS FOR THIS CHAPTER! GOD, KILL ME ALREADY!

Well not really, but still, I can't believe I've gotten this one to reach 21k words. As a devoted member of the Church of Miku, this saddens me but to make up for it, there are Miku moments that have been sprinkled on at various parts of this chapter. Anyway, I like Nino too and she is my 2nd favorite girl of this series, so I have no regrets. I just hope MORE people would write reviews like Fanfiction Hunter, who tell their opinion on the chapter and they liked...

Btw, after this, I'm taking a short break to update my Titan May Cry fanfic and after that, I'm good to get back to work on the three remaining quints.

With that being said, let us move on to the chapter!

Nino Nakano yawned quietly into her hand as she stepped out of her room; it had been a long night for her because of a certain something, and it cost her about two hours of sleep just thinking about it. It was a night that she honestly didn't want to remember anytime soon, but it was already burned into her memory and she didn't think she could forget it either. Her eyes had slight bags under them as a sign of not getting enough sleep, before she slowly made her way to the kitchen.

Reaching there, Itsuki was already sitting on the table having an early glass of milk while reading a newspaper. This was a perfectly normal occurrence in their household, and the pinkette just made her way to the sink in an attempt to wash her sleepiness away.

Itsuki noticed her walking past, causing the redhead to stop reading for a moment. "Good morning, Nino." she greeted with a smile, only to be surprised when her sister didn't even returned the greeting or even bat an eye towards her. Itsuki began to worry that something might have gone wrong with her that it led to the pinkette trying her best to wash her eyes out for some reason. "I-Is something wrong, Nino?"

"Mm…?" Nino lazily turned her head towards Itsuki. "Oh. Morning, Itsuki… I'm fine, don't worry about me, just… getting rid of some marks in my eyes." After a good twenty seconds of washing thoroughly, she wiped her face clean with a towel and sat down on the table with her sister.

"You weren't able to get some sleep? That's a bit strange." Itsuki raised an eyebrow curiously. It wasn't like Nino to have trouble in sleeping, despite having to stay up late to further study lessons. If anything, she's the one who's supposed to be feeling that way. It must be something serious if it got someone like Nino unable to get some proper sleep.

Good thing it was the weekend, otherwise she wouldn't be able to go through school without her head falling to her table, in need of shut-eye.

"N-Not exactly." Nino denied, trying not to sound embarrassed or anything. "I was able to sleep for a few hours, then I woke up a lot earlier than I usually would and after that, I tried to just sleep again. And, well… I stayed awake in the end…" she let out a huge sigh of frustration. "Now I feel tired as hell… but I don't want to go back to sleep at all. Speaking of which, did you hear some screaming last night?"

Itsuki frowned slightly at her sister's unfortunate situation, knowing just how much it sucks when you experience a lack of sleep. However, her last question got the redhead confused. "Screaming? What are you talking about?"

Nino could see that Itsuki had no idea what she was referring to, so she decided to just let that matter be and continue on. "Nothing! Forget I said it, maybe it was just my imagination!" she exclaimed.

"She's acting really weird today," Itsuki remarked and thought of a possible answer to her sister's problem. "M-Maybe eating some breakfast would help…?" she suggested. "Perhaps drinking some coffee too… having a quick cup is what normal workers do when they need to prevent themselves from falling asleep, after all."

"You just want to jump at the opportunity of getting to eat," Nino teased before releasing another sigh. She stood up and headed towards the fridge to think of what to cook this morning. "But you do make a point, and I'm feeling hungry myself. So yeah, why not? I'll make the five of us some breakfast, and speaking of which, you go wake them up while I work here."

"Actually, there are six of us here currently, since Uesugi-kun is out on the couch." Itsuki corrected her with a small smile, but stood up nonetheless to go wake her sisters up for breakfast. Yes, it was the weekend, but it would be unhealthy to skip meals, especially ones that Nino puts a lot of effort into.

"The… couch?" The redhead's last statement caught Nino's attention as she quickly turned her head towards Itsuki's direction, a confused expression taking over her face. "Wait, what…? Fuu-kun's on the couch?"

"Yes, that's where he slept." Itsuki replied, looking quite surprised that Nino wasn't aware of that. She was pretty sure Nino was present when Fuutarou made it clear. "You didn't know? He told us he would sleep there when we got home last night, remember?"

True, she was there when Fuu-kun told all of them that he would be sleeping on the couch, and that's what she believed, until… well, until something happened. "I-I just though he—" Nino tried to answer, only for her face to heat up in embarrassment. Yeah, the last time he saw him last night, he wasn't on the couch. He was in… someplace else. "N-Never mind, it's nothing—! Maybe I really did just forget what he said!" she quickly exclaimed, flashing an innocent grin.

Itsuki looked at her in confusion, as Nino brought a few eggs to the sink, as well as several ramen packets. A bowl of hot noodles should suffice for breakfast, it would help soothe out her nerves and perhaps even wake her up completely. "A-Are you okay, Nino? I'm starting to worry that there's really something wrong going on with you."

"Really, I'm fine!" Nino reassured her sister, before flashing her usual tough demeanor so that Itsuki doesn't ask any more questions. She didn't want Itsuki finding about that, especially how she was involved in it. "I told you, there's really no need for you to worry about me, so just go on call the others down here."

The redhead looked more confused and leaned into the conclusion that there's really something wrong. "O...kay…?" While she was still suspicious of what Nino could be hiding, Itsuki decided to just look more into it later and relented.

The moment Itsuki was finally out of the kitchen, Nino let out a massive sigh of relief to herself, before turning her attention to cooking the packets of instant ramen that she had brought out of the fridge. She quickly tied her hair back and wore an apron to get started.

"That was a close one… I almost let myself slip…" she thought to herself embarrassingly. It was something that rarely happened to someone like her and if it does happen, it could only mean that it was something much bigger than her. Maybe that was why she's being like this right now? "I can't let anyone know what… happened last night, uh… oh man, it's even embarrassing to think about. Just…Just why did I have to be at the wrong place at the wrong time?" Nino covered her face with one hand, as though she was disappointed with herself. "No, no, stop thinking about it! I'm supposed to cook breakfast, not relive a fantasy!"

A few minutes later, the pinkette simply stood back and let the pot of noodles boil. She had already added the eggs and she just needed to wait until it was finished. "And done! I'm feeling like Itsuki right now, that I just want to sit down and eat ahead of everyone else." Nino joked to herself, wiping some sweat off her forehead, before her mind drifted back to a certain memory that kept on haunting her mind since early in the morning. "Ugh! Why does this keep coming back to me, damn it! S-So what if they did something like that!? I don't need to think about it all the time!" she groaned internally.

But wait. She just remembered… that Fuutarou… was on the couch, according to what Itsuki told her earlier. "If he's right there, then… what happened last night…? M-Maybe I was just imagining it in my head? Wait, that's not possible! I know what I heard, and it's… urgh, too much to be even ignored! They should be glad that it was only me who heard the whole thing!" she then turned off the stove and the gas tanker, before placing the pot of noodles on the table, where six plates were already waiting. "Speaking of which… what's taking Itsuki so long…? It shouldn't be hard to wake the others up…" Nino asked herself, before her attention went towards the couch where she saw an arm dangling on the edge. There was no doubt that it was Fuutarou.

"Hm… he's really there…?" Nino placed her hands on her hips and walked towards the couch, wanting to see it for herself. Upon reaching her destination, her eyes widened upon seeing Fuutarou there, still sleeping peacefully. "Itsuki was telling the truth then… but if he was here, sleeping… then… what exactly happened last night…?" she frowned, thinking about what possibly went down several hours ago in the dead of night, before she sighed. "Seriously, I should stop thinking about this… at least until I can get a better grasp of it."

Before she knew it, Nino found herself openly staring at Fuutarou's sleeping face. Compared to his usual serious and broody expressions most of the time, he looked strangely… peaceful while asleep. It's like he was a completely different person (not Kintarou, sadly) when he was deep in slumber.

A smile soon formed on her face as she knelt down next to the couch, aiming to get a closer look. "Yeah, that reminds me… I'm going to be Fuu-kun's maid after Miku this afternoon…" she smirked upon remembering that. The moment Miku had declared she wanted to be Fuutarou's first maid last week, Nino lost her opportunity to go first, and it was only because she was thinking of her other sisters that time. Well that, and she initially had the idea of making Fuutarou her servant instead. Regardless of that, she had no intention of waiting around and immediately declared that she would be next after Miku, but Fuutarou had no knowledge about this yet. This was still a chance for her to push her feelings for Fuutarou even more either way, and she didn't plan on wasting it.

Compared to Miku's embarrassment yesterday, Nino had a devious smile on her face, already knowing the perfect plan on what she would do later on. Yesterday, Fuu-kun wasn't able to handle the sight of Miku in a naked apron that he fainted as a result. Surely, dressig in that as well should create the reaction she wanted, right? If her sister was able to show her feelings for Fuutarou, then there was no doubt she could do the same.

"And maybe… I can ask him what really happened last night," she joked, stroking his cheek affectionately before she stood up and headed back towards the kitchen.

---

The quints were all gathered around the table, only missing two people short. They were still waiting for Miku and Fuutarou and when Yotsuba was about to go to the couch and wake him up, Ichika stopped her. Since Miku wasn't with them yet, she'll most likely notice Fuutarou and wake him up along the way.

Speaking of which, Miku's absence right now brought some confusion to her sisters. Normally, she wasn't like this, waking up very late. If anything, Ichika had the habit of waking up the last among all of them. Something must have happened that led to this.

"Itsuki, did you notice something with Miku when you tried to wake her up?" The eldest among them asked, as all eyes in the room flew towards the redhead.

"Hmm…" Itsuki pondered, thinking back to when she dropped by Miku's room earlier. She wasn't sure how their little encounter earlier would lead to this. "Well, I knocked on her door, and… she actually answered, so I thought she was already awake. She told me to just wait downstairs because she was trying to take care of something."

"Maybe she fell asleep again? Miku did look pretty tired last night." Yotsuba spoke up, while Itsuki and Ichika nodded slowly in agreement. It was true, by the time they had returned home, Miku quickly bid them good night before retreating to her room. They suspected that 'something' happened between her and Fuutarou, only for their tutor to welcome the back home, fresh from the bathroom. Strangely, he wasn't tired like Miku and even spent a good hour just talking with them, leading them to eliminate the thought of him doing "that" with their sister.

Good, otherwise he'd already be dead right now.

Nino looked skeptical, however, upon remembering that Miku really looked tired when they saw her last night. She was the one who suggested the idea that their shy and timid sister might have done those kinds of "acts" with Fuutarou, while the other three just rolled with it. It wouldn't really surprise her if it was true because in a way, Miku was like her in terms of having the intention to push her feelings for Fuutarou, only lacking the confidence and straightforwardness that Nino exhibited.

...so yeah, they thought that their own sister might have done "inappropriate acts" with Fuu-kun…

...until they saw him, of course.

Despite that, Nino still had her doubts, which only strengthened when she heard, uh… some things when she was passing by Miku's room. But that didn't make any sense, since she was already tired last night, wasn't she? There were so many things that didn't make sense to Nino, and maybe there was a way for her to get a better grasp of this situation.

"I'll go to her room and wake her up then. I'm giving Fuu-kun a smack on the head to wake him up too," the pinkette said with a little scowl on her face. It wasn't just because she wanted to figure something out. Nino looked genuinely pissed just for the two not showing up at the table. "I'm not letting those two miss out on what I make, it's insulting!"

But just when she was about to stand up, a familiar voice stopped her from doing so.

"Sorry we're late."

All of the quints' attention went towards Fuutarou, who walked up towards the table with an embarrassed smile on his face. It was already quite surprising to see him smile like this, which greatly contrasted his serious demeanor most of the time.

It seemed as though the longer he sticks with these girls, more of his own aspects start to change.

However, what got the other four quints jaw-dropping was the fact that Miku was standing close to Fuutarou, hugging his right arm lovingly like a lovestruck girl. She didn't look embarrassed at all, but what's even more shocking was that the boy didn't even mind and acted like everything was normal.

"W-W-W-What's going on here?! Why are you two acting like that!" Nino demanded with a frown on her face, meaning that she wanted some answers now. "I knew it! Something really happened last night!" Could her suspicions be right all along?

"Acting like what?" Fuutarou asked in return, as him and Miku sat down with them, sitting next to each other. With that, everyone had started to pour some ramen into their own bowls, finally beginning breakfast.

"Don't play dumb! Something must have happened between you two, right!?" Nino pointed towards the two of them accusingly.

"I'm just… showing Master my appreciation this morning." Miku told her sisters with a shy smile, causing them to look towards her in disbelief. Did Miku just hear what they thought she said? Noticing her sisters' expressions, Miku blushed furiously. To her, it was just what she referred to him but to her sisters, they had no idea if it was sexual or just a way of addressing Fuutarou.

That's right, they had no idea what went down between her and Fuu last night, all because she went to sleep the moment they arrived. Because of this, she decided to show them an example. "Master?" she called out to the person beside her.

"Hm?" he turned to her, having finished pouring some ramen for himself.

Without any hesitation, Miku leaned up and planted a gentle kiss on Fuutarou's lips, causing Ichika, Nino, Yotsuba and Itsuki to jaw-drop once again out of pure shock.

Miku…

Their own sister…

Who was shy and insecure in more ways than one…

Was kissing Fuutarou…

Right in front of them…

…

…

…

Miku pulled away with a smile after only a few seconds, and the blue-haired teen only chuckled before ruffling her hair for a bit. He shook his head in amusement before turning his attention to his bowl of ramen, noticing the other quints' dumbfounded expressions in the process.

"Looks like you gave your sisters quite the show," he snorted as he began to eat. "You're gonna have to explain that to them, you know."

"I'll take care of it, Master." Miku nodded politely, pouring ramen into her own bowl before she started to eat as well.

"All right, spill it!" Nino fumed, unable to take the confusion any longer. She had too much questions that needed answering. "What happened between you two?! Did something happen last night that we didn't know about!" Upon saying that, she sent a hateful glare towards Fuutarou, who may have tainted her sister's purity in her suspicions. The fact that Miku also called him 'Master' alsi brought back some… unpleasant memories from the back of her mind.

"Nothing happened between us." Miku explained calmly. "I just acted as Fuutarou's maid last night because that's what I was supposed to do, nothing more. Because of that, I was so tired that I just wanted to sleep when all of you got back home. S-Sorry…!"

"Did he ask too much from you? Did he force you to tire yourself?" Itsuki frowned, worried for her sister's well-being.

Fuutarou felt offended with that, and so he spoke up in order to defend himself. "What are you accusing me for? I would never do that!" he said in a defiant tone.

"I wasn't asking you." Itsuki narrowed her eyes at him before turning back towards the brunette. "Please tell us the truth, Miku."

Miku looked at Fuutarou for a moment before shaking her head. "No, he didn't. I was feeling tired already even before all of you left the house yesterday, and when I told Fuutarou about it after you were gone… he just let me rest and didn't tell me to do anything."

While Fuutarou sighed internally in relief, Itsuki nodded slowly with a solemn expression, looking satisfied with the answer she got. At least Uesugi-kun wasn't abusive, right? She was at the very least, relieved that when it would be her turn to be his maid, he won't act cruel or anything towards her.

"That doesn't explain why you called him 'Master' for three times now! I was only messing around when I told you about it, so it's definitely surprising to see you calling him that way until now…" Nino scowled at the two of them. "I don't buy it! Something happened between you two that made you start calling Fuu-kun that way, and I have the feeling that it's as innocent as we thought…"

Miku blushed at the implication, remembering what really happened between her and Fuutarou last night. She could only remember the number of times she cried out 'Master', instead of his name. "She almost got it right." she thought, before voicing out her answer towards Nino's accusation.

"I only call Fuutarou that… because I'm his maid. I can't call him by his name while I'm supposed to… serve him, right…?" Despite getting used to her situation already, it still felt embarrassing for her to talk about it out loud with other people, including her sisters.

"Point taken." Nino grumbled, deciding to stop for now. Although why did it feel like Miku was still hiding something from them? It's like… her and Fuutarou wanted them to think this way… "Stop thinking about it!" she berated herself before she could even think about… uhm, what she heard last night.

"I don't know, something still feels different." Yotsuba voiced out her thoughts on this, gaining everyone's attention as well. She made a thinking pose and hummed quietly. "I mean, you two just kissed each other in front of us a while ago."

As soon as she said that, everyone had gained blushes on their faces, remembering the brief moment of intimacy between Miku and Fuutarou some moments ago. It may be short, but hey, the message was taken across. They were clearly kissing, and there was no denying it.

Fuutarou coughed into his hand to break the growing tension inside the room. "Technically, Miku kissed me while I didn't do anything. I was even taken aback myself." he said in an attempt to save both himself and Miku from getting caught.

"Even so, I agree with Yotsuba and Nino." Ichika spoke up, raising an eyebrow at the two of them. "Miku was even clinging on to your arm earlier, Fuutarou-kun. I don't believe you were shocked with that. It's like you chose not to do anything, because you allowed it to happen. So, we'll ask you again. Did something happen last night that we didn't know about?"

The blue-haired teen was sweating now, fearing that they had no way out after this. Miku however, looked down in guilt for a few seconds, before sighing in defeat.

"Okay… something did happen last night…" she admitted, causing Fuutarou and her sisters to look towards her in shock. The poor teenager was worried that Miku was going to let the cat out of the bag, but he didn't dare to speak up because that would just give it away. Meanwhile, Nino looked like she had gone crazy as she stood up and turned to her other three sisters.

"You see? You see? I told you! They were hiding something all along, I knew it!" she exclaimed, pointing towards their two suspects. "I was right all along… they did do it last night!" Nino thought to herself, remembering those weird noises she kept on hearing from inside Miku's room that led to her not being able to get enough sleep.

"Be nice, Nino." Itsuki scolded the pinkette, who sat back down almost immediately. "It's okay if you're feeling embarrassed to tell, Miku. But remember, we won't really judge you for whatever it is because we're family. So tell us, what happened between you and Uesugi-kun?"

Miku looked towards Fuutarou again, who solely focused on eating his bowl of ramen. It looked as if he had given up and just waited for her to say it, willing to take any beating he'll receive for taking her innocence. The brunette didn't want him to go through that, since it wasn't his fault and she wanted it too, so she steeled herself and faced her sisters with a rare expression of seriousness.

"I confessed to Fuutarou last night." she said in a firm tone, causing all of them (except for Nino), including Fuutarou to look at her in shock once again.

"Yes! I was right! They did have—! Wait… what?" Nino immediately cheered inside her head as soon as she heard Miku's answer, only to realize that it wasn't what she was expecting. It took a few seconds for it to register in her mind, before she decided to ask Miku to repeat what she said in case she was just hearing things. "M-Miku, can you repeat what you said? I…I may have fallen off-track for a second…" she asked.

"I…I confessed my true feelings to Fuutarou last night." Miku repeated, feeling a bit embarrassed that she had to say it again, despite the confidence she exhibited earlier.

Now, Nino also bore a shocked look on her face that was the same as her sisters. She never thought that Miku was capable of doing that, not that she doubted her own sister. In fact, Nino may have even indirectly played a part in Miku bringing herself to reveal what she felt, when the pinkette got her to wear the naked apron and pretty much gave her something that she would actually take seriously, which was referring to Fuutarou as 'Master'.

It's just that she was always shy and made herself look smaller than her sisters, to the point that whenever she would act confident, it'll be treated as a pretty shocking moment.

But wait… what did this mean between the two of them?

"So… you two are a couple now?" Yotsuba asked the question that was apparently on everyone else's mind right now. For some reason, there was a hint of hurt in her tone, but nobody managed to notice it.

"Look, here's what —"

"W-We're not." Fuutarou was about to answer, not wanting Miku to go through with this since he knew it most likely hurt her own hopes last night, but the girl was quick to say something that he could only clench his fist tightly. "I-I turned Fuutarou down when he actually tried to ask me out last night…"

"Woah, what?" Nino asked incredulously. They just find out that Miku confessed what she felt for Fuutarou and now she was telling them that they weren't a couple? And it was even her who turned down Fuutarou when he asked? All of this seemed too ridiculous even for her! One good thing about this though, is that Nino was able to forget the event that was bothering her mind ever since last night. "What do you mean that you're not a couple? You basically told us that you confessed to him! There's no way it didn't go further than that."

"I do want to be with Fuutarou… but all of you are also really important to me, and I want my sisters to be happy too." Miku began to explain her resolve, as the other quints each looked at her in confusion. Why did they get involved in this all of a sudden? "I have a feeling that, no… I know that all of you also have feelings for Fuutarou, and… I would feel guilty if I didn't give you the chance to say it, so… I want all of you to confess to Fuutarou as well, and then he'll choose who he wants to be with in the end."

Silence took over the entire room afterwards, if you don't count the sound of a kettle boiling, which was actually Ichika, Yotsuba, and Itsuki's faces all turning crimson red and looking down in embarrassment. Even Fuutarou hid his face in his hands to save himself from getting embarrassed, if only he could run away and leave the Nakano residence right now…

Damn, who knew Miku could be this straightforward? It's like she was literally her sister Nino, even for just a few moments.

"I-I-I-I don't have f-f-feelings for F-Fuutarou-kun…!" Ichika quickly denied, turning her head away to prevent Miku and most especially, Fuutarou, from seeing her embarrassed state. It was a tad bit ironic for someone who loved to tease their tutor ever since he first came into their lives. "Hahahahaha, I-I-I don't know w-what you're t-t-talking about…!"

As if she could get any more obvious than that.

Yotsuba and Itsuki remained silent in their seats, although the redness of their faces was enough to show that they were also affected and therefore, embarrassed with Miku's sudden declaration. They still had their own reactions to this however, with Yotsuba fidgeting with her fingers shyly and Itsuki closing her eyes tightly in an attempt to remain strong-willed.

The only one who was not blushing like hell was Nino, yet she also looked as shocked as her other sisters. If anything, she wasn't embarrassed and it felt more like she had just heard something unexpected. It took her a while to properly respond, and even though her sisters already had a feeling of what's it gonna be, Fuutarou himself was curious on what she was going to say.

"S-So… you're saying that… I also have a chance at being with Fuu-kun…?" Nino asked, as a smile slowly found itself forming on her face, fully realizing what Miku tried to say and what it meant for her own hidden feelings.

Miku knew full well what that smile is, and it only meant that Nino was planning something devious. Even Ichika, Itsuki, and Yotsuba winced since they knew where this might lead to, despite their embarrassed state. Still, the brunette only nodded in response to her sister, before speaking in the same firm tone she used earlier.

"Y-Yes."

Nino flashed that familiar smirk, causing Miku to gulp nervously. She didn't like where this was going. "Well Miku, I have to say, you once again proved that you're the most unpredictable out of all of us…" she began to put up her fingers to count off everything she had taken note of. "First, you kiss Fuu-kun over there so naturally on the lips that you two can be considered a couple. Second, you say that you confessed to him last night and even turned him down when he tried to ask you out. And third, you did it for the reason that you wanted us to have a chance with Fuu-kun too." Nino hummed in a playful manner, thinking that there might be something more to this than what was already revealed. "Hmm, are we sure that there's a side of Miku Nakano that her own sisters haven't figured out yet~?"

Miku's mind immediately drifted back to the events that took place last night, specifically to how Fuutarou lost their innocence to the other. She couldn't believe it herself that she had a lustful side who wanted her 'Master' to fill her up to the brim, and that alone made her entire face heat up for the first time since arriving on the table.

"P-P-Please don't make it more complicated t-than it already is…" Miku pouted. "I-I-I would have accepted Fuutarou's confession too and we would have been a couple now, but I-I thought of my sisters first." The brunette looked down now, feeling that Nino wasn't taking this seriously. Luckily, Fuutarou began to pat her on the back in comfort and slowly started to feel better.

"You're right… uhm, well… sorry about that." Nino gave a small grin in embarrassment before smiling, genuinely this time. "Still, thank Kami for the decision you made, Miku. Now I have the perfect plan set when it's my turn to be Fuu-kun's maid later on~"

Fuutarou turned towards her, but not in the way Nino saw it in her mind. She was expecting to see him blushing like how he reacted to seeing Miku in a naked apron yesterday, and bonus points to herself if he faints too! However, he only flashed a surprised look without really anything more into it.

"You're going to be my maid today, Nino?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

"That's it? That's the reaction I get from him?" For some reason, she felt pissed with his response, like something was missing from it. This caused her to frown and cross her arms before answering in a somewhat rude tone. "Uh, yeah! What, do you have a problem with me being your maid? You should be thankful that you won that stupid bet!"

Itsuki recovered enough from the embarrassment she felt earlier that she quickly spoke up to stop anything bad from happening. "Nino, please don't be rude in front of the food!" she scolded, but the pinkette only huffed.

Fuutarou ignored Nino's little outburst and instead turned towards Yotsuba. Perhaps she could be the one to answer one question on his mind, since Ichika looked too embarrassed right now and Itsuki was trying to calm Nino down. "It seems to me like you have already planned the order of who goes next."

Yotsuba nodded. "Yeah, we've talked over it already. After Miku said she'll be the first, Nino quickly announced she was next."

"So who's going after Nino?" he asked, and Yotsuba thought about it for a few moments.

"Well… tomorrow, it will be Ichika's turn…" Fuutarou turned to the short-haired one among them, who quickly tried to suppress her embarrassment by simply pouting. "Since we can't really act as maids while on a school day, we decided to continue on the day Miku started. For Friday next week, it'll be my turn to serve Uesugi-san and Itsuki will be the last one on the day after that!" she finished with a smile.

"I see… it would definitely be for the best to postpone this whole thing while we have school… thank you for telling me." Fuutarou nodded in acknowledgement, before he stood up to take his empty bowl towards the sink, having finished eating before everyone else. "At least this way, I know who I'll be spending an entire day with." He then gave a small wave towards all of them before walking out of the kitchen. "I'll be on the couch if anyone needs me."

The quints resumed eating after such an interesting discussion early in the morning, all except for one. Nino never took her eyes off him as he left, and while it was unclear if she had calmed down after her little ordeal earlier, one thing was for sure.

She would push her own hidden feelings to be known, no matter what, despite whatever reaction Fuu-kun throws at her.

---

Fuutarou walked into the kitchen and headed over to the fridge, bringing out a small bottle of water to drink. He had just talked to Miku about taking her on a date later on, as a small gesture of thanks for everything she's done not only last night, but ever since they met. It would be her final act of 'service' as his maid before Nino would have her turn. Itsuki and Yotsuba were there to witness him ask, and they actually cheered for Miku too.

Even though she had shed a few tears [of joy], Miku happily accepted and gave her Master another sweet kiss on the lips, much to her sisters' embarrassment since it was awkward to witness such a moment in front of them. A date was exactly how she planned on spending the day with Fuutarou if she and her sisters had won the bet, but that didn't really matter now.

"I better start taking a bath soon." As soon as he turned around, he was met by the sight of Nino wearing an apron, and she had an indifferent expression on her face.

"Is there something you need, Nino?" he asked.

"As you can see, I'm about to cook lunch." Nino pointed to the apron she wore before eyeing the refrigerator behind him. "And I can't do that with you blocking the fridge."

"I can see that." Fuutarou nodded before sitting on the table, letting Nino get the ingredients she needed before heading to the sink. The blue-haired teenager looked at her for a few seconds before scratching his head. "Does she know? I remember she kept on saying that Miku and I did something behind their backs last night… I should probably leave this little problem alone, but I can't help but be worried… especially for Miku's sake." Coming to a decision, he decided to ask Nino about it, but also be careful so that he wouldn't let anything slip about him and Miku doing the deed.

However, Nino beat him to it, although it was about an entirely different matter.

"Sorry for… what happened earlier." Nino said with her back turned to him, which was perfect to hide the look of regret on her face, not wanting Fuu-kun to see her in such a vulnerable state.

"Um… what?" Fuutarou asked in a confused tone. He heard say 'sorry', but for what? Did she do something wrong? Or maybe it was another apology for Miku?

"Urgh, didn't you hear me?" she turned to him with a scowl, showing that she was not in the mood to fool around. "I said I was sorry for how I acted during breakfast! It's not often that you'll see me apologizing to you like this, so don't make me do it again, you hear!" Upon seeing Fuutarou look at her weirdly, the pinkette realized that she did it again, causing her to sigh. "This is hard…"

"It's fine. I'm getting used to you acting that way, honestly." Fuutarou waved her off almost nonchalantly, which caused Nino to blush in embarrassment and turn back to slicing the vegetables needed for today's lunch. "More importantly, I need to ask you something."

"W-What is it?" she stuttered. Even though her attention was directed towards the food, Nino made sure to listen to him clearly. "Damn him and his smooth talk just now!" she said in her thoughts, and trying to stop her blush from erupting any further.

"Earlier, you were accusing Miku and I for doing something last night." He pointed out in his usual serious demeanor, which made Nino pale and stopped slicing vegetables all of a sudden. "What did you mean by that? And what was it all about?"

Nino started to sweat buckets as the memories of the previous filled her mind, which was supposedly the reason why she also didn't get to sleep much.

---

"All right, I'm done locking up the house… and brushed my teeth as well…" Nino yawned, her eyes almost about to close due to how sleepy she felt. She started to walk towards her bedroom in a very tired manner, itching to get in bed already and call it a day. Compared to her three other sisters who went with her a few hours ago, she ended up being the most tired among them, which was quite ironic. "Time for me to hit the hay…"

"Aaahhhhh~"

The moment she passed by Miku's room, the pinkette heard something weird. She quickly thought of her sisters pranking her from behind, but when she turned around, nobody was there. The sound she heard was like… a moan, of sorts…? Or maybe it was the bed creaking? Well, whatever it is that she heard, it was enough to gain Nino's attention that all signs of her being sleepy disappeared before walking closer towards the door.

"That's strange… why did I hear something from inside Miku's room, when she's already asleep? Miku doesn't snore in her sleep, does she?" Nino asked herself, standing just outside the door. She pressed her ear against the cold hard wooden surface and decided to get a better perception of what she heard earlier.

"Aahhh, F-Fuutarou~! Fuutarou, please!"

Nino's eyes widened to the size of saucers immediately as her mouth hung agape. That was definitely Miku's voice! But why was she saying Fuu-kun's name out loud? Was she having a nightmare or something? Wait, that's impossible… she wasn't screaming or anything and the noise she made earlier sounded like a moan too, so that would be out of the equation. A dream then, perhaps? No, that's also not possible because a person doesn't scream or moan when having a dream…

Wait a second… a moan… and F-Fuu-kun's name…?

The thought was enough to earn a full-on blush from the pinkette as she covered her mouth to prevent herself from doing anything stupid and most likely scream. "Holy shit!" Nino thought to herself, unable to believe that the timid and gloomy she used to know was capable of doing this. "Is she really masturbating in the dead of night!? I thought she was already asleep! And fucking hell, she's shamelessly screaming Fuu-kun's name while going at it! She really wants him, huh?"

Yes, Nino was thinking that Miku was simply playing with herself in order to relieve herself from stress. Why not? It was perfectly normal for girls as it is for boys to masturbate and Nino thought that Miku had a good reason anyway. Being alone with the guy she liked for several hours must have gotten to her head and now she was relieving stress.

Of course, that thought didn't last long with what she heard next.

"What did I tell you to call me while we're doing this~?"

"M-Master— aahhhh~!"

Nino froze. There was no doubt that the other voice she heard inside the room belonged to Fuutarou, with how serious and demanding it sounded like and since he was in there, and… Miku was there too, and… she was… moaning and… the… two… of… them…

"WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING IN THERE! ARE THEY HAVING SEX IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?!" Nino screamed internally, her hands holding her head as she didn't know what to do. Her thoughts were invaded with mental images of Fuutarou and Miku doing 'that', as she continued to become the unfortunate victim of their cries and screams of pleasure from outside the room. She was about to go insane if she didn't do something about it. "F-Fuu-kun, and… Miku… are… having…"

Luckily, her mind managed to regain some of its composure as she quickly reminded herself that Fuutarou, their own tutor, was in Miku's room, having sex with her sister. It only meant that Fuutarou had taken her sister's innocence and tainted her purity! Yeah that must be it! Also, Fuutarou was taking advantage of Miku and even making her call him 'Master'?!

Yeah, Fuutarou must be stopped before he even tries to make a move on her or the others!

Nino shook her head and clenched her fist in anger. "That's it! I'm coming inside and saving my sister from that monster! I'll beat him up so hard, he'll never be able to get out of the hospital when I'm through with him!" she said with a furious expression, with her hand already resting on the doorknob.

Inside the room, Miku was lying on the bed, with her beloved Fuutarou straddling her hips and thrusting into her in a missionary position. He held both of her hands passionately, and this position also allowed him to see the lewd faces she was making while they were doing this. It seemed as if seeing or hearing Miku do anything lewd or even say dirty things was enough to turn him on and it only motivated him even further. Miku could only look at Fuutarou with eyes full of love and lust, and the same for him.

You may think that Fuutarou came in here and basically demanded his 'maid' to have sex with him, but it was actually the opposite. While her sisters were all taking turns in showering, Miku had snuck out of her room and dragged her Master there, stating her desire to elope with him again. While a bit reluctant to do it again on the same day, he was eventually convinced when Miku told him she would take a pill tomorrow to be safe.

Neither of them were aware of the person that was currently outside though, even though the door was already open, albeit a little bit.

"How does it feel to be spanked, my cute little maid?" he asked while grinning, not even thinking about slowing down anytime soon.

Apparently, he was into dirty talk too, letting this maid-master thing finally get into his head… in a very dirty way, that is.

"It feels good, Master~! M-My pussy feels weird whenever you hit my butt~~ but I love it…!" she breathed out, reduced to a panting mess by now that her own drool started dripping out of her mouth.

"If you say so…" Fuutarou let go of her hands as he flipped Miku around on her stomach. The sudden action caused her to yelp, before slowly bringing herself up on all fours. He held her hips in place and began to thrust into the brunette again, while slapping her ass every few seconds. "You're my maid, and this body belongs to me, you understand?"

Miku threw her head back and smiled in a very erotic way. "YES~! I'M ALL YOURS, MASTERRRR~~!" she screamed out in ecstasy, feeling her Master's cock reach deeper into her insides.

From outside the door, Nino remained in her place, looking conflicted as hell. Her fists were still clenched yet looked like it was about to tremble and fall apart, all because she couldn't pry her eyes away from the scene she was seeing before her. The pinkette had already fallen to her knees and only leaned on the wall for support, forgetting about beating up Fuutarou that had been on her mind earlier. Her face flushed deeply the moment she saw Fuu-kun's large erection even just for a split second, and her fists had lost their strength the more she listened to the couple's moans, the sound of their skin slapping, and Fuutarou's every smack that was delivered to Miku's now-reddening butt.

All of the sounds they made, plus the way they were talking to each other had gotten Nino all hot and bothered!

Unable to take it anymore, she quickly leaned back against the wall, unbuttoning her shirt and tossing it away whilst keeping her eyes on the steamy scene through the small gap that the door created.

"A-Ahhh~ d-does it really… feel good…?" Nino asked herself, slipping her hand underneath her bra and feeling her breasts. Her nipples had already become stiff as a sign of her arousal, and that was her signal. Nino watched as Fuutarou leaned forward and groped both of Miku's breasts, and her sister only moaned out loud as a result.

Following that example, her right hand squeezed her breast, and Nino had to hold in the moan that nearly escaped her mouth. "I-It does feel good…" she breathed out, before beginning to move her own breasts around in different directions, and even pinching her own nipples afterwards. "W-Would Fuutarou do this to me as well?" she thought to herself, pleasuring herself with both her hands as she began to breathe quite heavily.

Nino let out small whimpers to hold in the loud moans that were begging to come out of her mouth. Looking back inside the room, she noticed how Fuu-kun's… dick was continuously going in and out of Miku. Turning her attention back to her own self, Nino didn't think twice and discarded her pajamas along with her panties, leaving her completely naked.

"T-T-This must be what s-sex feels like…" Nino reached down with two fingers towards her slit, which only caused her eyes to widen and that she had to muffle her voice with her free hand. Wanting to continue, she inserted her fingers inside of her and caused some of her feminine juices to splash onto the floor. Nino whimpered into her hand before her fingers began to move in and out of her, similar to how Fuutarou does it. "W-Why am I feeling this way? What happened to me…? I…I wanted to punish Fuu-kun earlier, and now I'm… doing this… act…" she contemplated, before turning her head towards her sister's bedroom again.

By now, Miku had lost the strength in her arms and was simply lying on the side of her face. Despite that, it did nothing to hinder her from creating the cute moans that Fuutarou loved to hear. It was at this point that he began to thrust even faster, meaning that he was about to reach that high point.

Following his actions, Nino began to drive her fingers faster, causing her whimpers to grow louder. She didn't want to stop now, not when she began to feel something in her lower stomach, something that was begging to come out. Nino didn't want to deny that, and she could only pray that nobody finds her here.

"Aah~! F-F-Fuu-kun~! Fuu-kun, more~! I want more~~!" Her imagination got carried away to the point that she began to imagine it was Fuutarou himself who was slamming his cock in and out of her. More of her vaginal fluids started to drip onto the floor, but Nino didn't care. She was so close, and there was no point in stopping now. She even started to play with her boobs with her free hand once more, becoming eager to reach her own high point.

Miku moaned out Fuutarou's name as loud as she could upon feeling her partner finally getting to his climax, releasing his entire load into her wet hole. For his part, Fuutarou hugged Miku's body close to him as he felt the brunette's orgasm drenching his cock from inside her, causing him to moan loudly as well. The girl collapsed on the bed as soon it subsided, exhaustion taking over her body.

Consequently, Nino reached her own climax at the same time as the two people who were inside the bedroom. She removed her fingers from her pussy as her juices practically exploded onto the floor, creating a small puddle in the process. Luckily enough, she screamed out the pleasure she felt into her hand and nobody noticed.

"I… I… I came…" she said to herself, breathing heavily over and over, feeling that a large toll on her body was taken away from playing with herself. "F-Fuu-kun~" she said in a longing tone, as if she was asking for his presence, while also noticing that he had already pulled out of Miku and helping the girl get some rest.

However, Nino still had a sense of rationality despite this, and she knew that she can't let herself be seen like this here.

Taking a deep breath, she quickly picked up her discarded clothes and wiped the puddle she created with her shirt, hoping that nobody would notice her, especially Fuutarou who was still inside Miku's room. After she was done, Nino quickly rushed to the bathroom stark naked, since she needed to clean herself again before coming back to her room.

It would be a very long night for Nino Nakano, as she would be unable to get the image of their tutor, Fuutarou Uesugi and her sister, Miku having wild, passionate sex in the girl's own bedroom.

---

"-ino?"

"-Nino…"

"-Nino, snap out of it."

Fuutarou had walked over and shook the pinkette a little bit, which startled her for a moment before she got confused. The last thing she recalled was thinking back to the events of last night, and now that had remembered those, it put the girl in a trance and her legs felt weak for a moment.

"W-What happened…?" Nino looked up at Fuutarou, who scratched the back of his head and looked away.

"I just asked you about what you meant when you accused me and Miku about doing 'something' last night, but… it seems you're too busy with cooking, so I guess I'll just—"

"It's nothing." As soon as he heard her answer, he turned his back to face the pinkette. She had an expression of regret on her face, which got Fuutarou to wonder if something went wrong with her. "I was just… being protective of Miku, you know? I thought you two were doing, uhm… inappropriate things because that was exactly what I warned her about when we left." Fuutarou started to sweat as she said that, fearing that they were actually caught by Nino. "...but it turns out, Miku just confessed her feelings to you. So, there's no need to worry." She bowed her head slightly. "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions earlier."

"Uhm, no… i-it's fine." He quickly reassured, while also relieved that Nino didn't know anything about what he and Miku did last night. "I understand your position, and I would've done the same. You just care about your sister so much, and I like that."

The blush on Nino's face was evident to show her own embarrassment, as she actually looked down to prevent Fuu-kun from seeing her like this. She even clasped her hands together in front like how Miku does it.

"Thank you for your time, Nino. Now I must go and take a bath. I'm going out with someone." He thanked her, before turning around to leave. His last statement snapped the pink-haired girl out of her embarrassment and began to look at him in confusion.

"Going out with someone? You mean Miku?"

"Yes, I promised her I would take her out on a date before her time in being my maid ends. She's already telling the others about it and don't worry, we'll be back in the afternoon since I'm aware that you will be my next maid, you said so yourself." He turned around towards Nino to explain, but the girl started to look hurt for some reason.

"B-But I'm already making lunch for all of us…" she tried to plead with him, as if she didn't want him to go. "C-C-Can't you two wait until we're done eating…? This won't even take long to prepare and I'm sure you'll love it, Fuu-kun."

"We could just eat at a diner along the way. I'll see you later." Fuutarou waved in goodbye as he continued to walk away, leaving a hurt-looking Nino in her place, almost becoming teary-eyed at seeing him leave without another word.

She was planning on cooking a delicious lunch for him as an apology for wrongly accusing him, and even let him have first taste before her other sisters, which was already a shock in itself because everyone in the household should eat altogether at the same time and not one before another.

First, he gave her a nonchalant reaction upon finding out she'll be his maid for this day. She expected something more than that, but she never got it. Now she was trying to make a good lunch for him, and he was out on a date with Miku which pretty much killed the chances of him getting a taste of Nino's cooking. She took great pride in her skills in the kitchen, and it felt like it was attacked when Fuutarou just left without even being curious at the very least.

She shook her head to recompose herself, before turning her attention back towards the vegetables she was preparing. "It's not his fault… maybe I'm acting too soon. Miku will be his maid until this afternoon, anyway… I will just make it up to Fuu-kun when he comes back." she thought, her mind dead-set on her goal.

---

After Fuutarou had left with Miku on their date, lunch was ready to be served at the same time. Nino was quiet and had her down the whole time, with her sisters wondering what was her problem now. It was also not like the pinkette to be this way, and they were honestly getting worried. Earlier this morning, she was complaining about not getting enough sleep and now she looked down for some reason.

When they tried to ask what was wrong, Nino only said that she was thinking about something, but of course they didn't buy it. The three other quints simply remained quiet and decided to ask another time.

Although when Fuutarou had informed everyone else that he and Miku were heading home, Nino looked as though she had regained some life as she ran back to her room in a hurry. It confused her sisters once again, before they remembered that it would be her turn to be Fuu's maid today. Was she excited or something?

Maybe that's what she was thinking about during lunch earlier.

---

"We're back!" Fuutarou announced as he walked inside with Miku with smiles on their faces. They were holding hands like a real couple and the girl had a satisfied look on her face. As of now, Miku was no longer his maid but that didn't matter, since she was happy with how things had turned out for her in as little as 24 hours.

Unfortunately for the blue-haired teenager, he was greeted by a sight that nearly caused him to fall over because of a nosebleed. "N-N-N-NINO!?" he exclaimed in shock, a bright blush appearing on his cheeks as Miku prevented him from falling on his butt.

Nino had a smile on her face as she faced the two newcomers, which was supposed to be nothing much. However, it was her… choice of clothing that caught him off guard, even though he had already seen this from Miku. Nino was wearing ONLY a pink apron that did little to hide what she had underneath, and since she had the same body figure as her sister, well… let's just say Fuutarou was having some wild thoughts right now since… he already knew Miku's… ehrm, body. Nino also held a ladle in her right hand, which could only mean she was in the kitchen before this.

"What are you doing, Nino?" Miku asked, glaring at her sister for nearly causing Fuutarou to faint again. She didn't forget that it was Nino's idea to make her wear a naked apron yesterday and that drove Fuu in an unconscious state, even though it did turn out to help her in the end.

"Welcome home, Master!" Nino said politely, even bowing her head to him. She then did a thinking pose and leaned forward so much that Fuutarou's blush deepened when he noticed that the apron had barely covered Nino's nipples. "Would you like your dinner first? Or your bath first?" Nino flashed him a seductive look and leaned in so close that their faces were almost touching. "Or~ perhaps~ me~?"

"E-Eh?" He mumbled dumbly, his face becoming red to the point that he began to emit steam. Miku pouted at her sister's attempt to tease Fuutarou just as he came back tired, and she would've done something to take him somewhere else had it not been for the three other quints that stood behind her.

"Uesugi-kun would like to have dinner first, Nino." Itsuki pouted as well, crossing her arms as she watched Nino try to make an advance on Fuutarou. Although if looked upon closely, there was a hint of jealousy in the redhead's eyes for some reason.

"That's right! Fuutarou-kun just came back from his date, so cut him some slack and tease him later on." Ichika spoke up, which surprised nearly everyone there with her words. As someone who loved to tease their tutor every time she could, this could be considered somewhat… out of character for her.

"Yeah, we should let Uesugi-san take a rest first! He looks really tired, see?" Yotsuba pointed towards the blue-haired teen, who was sweating furiously, most likely because of the heat.

"What's going on here?" Fuutarou asked himself in confusion as he watched Ichika, Itsuki, and Yotsuba all try to stop Nino in her usual shenanigans. He didn't really mind Nino doing something like this, but to see her sisters not supporting her was the surprising part. They would either join in or either roll their eyes at her, but never tried to stop her in whatever she did.

Nino looked at her three sisters for a few moments before smirking. "You three make a point, but I will only follow what my Master says." she said, causing her other sisters to start pouting at her as a result before turning back towards Fuutarou. "So, what will it be, Master?"

"Uh… I think… dinner would be nice…?" he said, and Nino immediately nodded with a smile. Fuutarou was taken aback at seeing how beautiful Nino was when she smiled up close. Of course, he already knew she was beautiful along with her sister, but he normally saw her with either a smirk or a frown, and it made him wonder why she didn't smile more often.

"As you wish, Master." With that, she turned to head towards the kitchen, swaying her hips with every step she took. Fuutarou saw this and he quickly looked away to prevent himself from staring at Nino's bare butt before he got deemed as a pervert by the girls. Nino saw his reaction through the corner of her eye and giggled to herself. "He's so cute when he's embarrassed like that," she thought.

Itsuki sighed in her place before shaking her head. "I should have known Nino would try to pull off something like this when she had Miku wearing only an apron when Uesugi-kun came here," she remarked.

Yotsuba looked behind her and saw that Fuutarou still had a red face, while Miku tried calming him down by patting his back. "I guess after seeing Miku and Nino in those naked aprons, Uesugi-san wants to see all of us do the same now." she said with a playful grin, causing their tutor to quickly shake his head.

"I wasn't thinking of that!" he denied, which had Yotsuba giggling at his sudden answer. Itsuki sighed, so much for not teasing Fuutarou since he just arrived while Ichika thought about it for a second before flashing her usual smirk at the poor guy.

"Ara ara, maybe I should wear only an apron when it's my turn, Fuutarou-kun~" she teased, causing the blue-haired teen to look at her in both confusion and shock. Earlier, she was defending him from Nino and now she was back to her old self. He honestly didn't get her. Argh, he just couldn't understand the real deal with these sisters and what they were thinking!

As Ichika and Yotsuba chuckled at his embarrassment, Miku began to lead Fuutarou away from them with a small pout on her face. He obviously needed some rest and if her sisters weren't willing to let him be, then she'll take care of it herself. She even ignored Ichika and Yotsuba's attempts in apologizing behind them, although she knew that Fuu won't really hold something against the two. Oh well, they can apologize later during dinner, but Fuutarou really needed to take a rest right now.

"Wait, I'm coming with you two." Itsuki said, quickly catching up to Miku and Fuutarou. Both of them looked at the redhead strangely, before Itsuki spoke up with a slightly red face. "I… would like to know… what happened on your date… if… if it's okay…" she actually began to twiddle her fingers in embarrassment and look to the side to avoid their gazes. Fuutarou thought Itsuki was cute acting like this instead of being all-serious like him and he was about to answer her, but Miku beat him to it.

"Sure, Itsuki." The redhead smiled in gratitude and followed the two upstairs. While Fuutarou treated this as Itsuki simply wanting to know what happened during him and Miku's date, the brunette knew that this something more than that.

"Itsuki, you want to go on a date with Fuutarou too, don't you?" she thought, smiling at her sister who secretly eyed Fuutarou's hand, most likely having hidden thoughts of holding like she did.

---

Nino walked out of the kitchen with one goal in mind: find Fuutarou and have him watch her cook dinner. It may sound pretty boring to him at first, as she could tell he would most likely say that if she asked, until she would tell him about what she had in mind, that is.

Since her plan earlier during lunch didn't really end the way she wanted to, she decided to do it now instead. But now, instead of just letting Fuu-kun have first taste, Nino decided to make a separate dish for him. It would not only be an act of apology, but also to serve him as his new maid [and perhaps push her feelings for the guy even further]. Her sisters' dinner was already prepared on the table and only one was left, but she needed Fuutarou around for him to watch her cook.

She saw three of her sisters sitting on the couch, all watching television but Fuutarou and Miku were nowhere to be found. Nino quietly approached them and cleared her throat to get their attention.

"Oh, Nino." Ichika said, turning her head towards the pinkette. "Is dinner ready?"

"Not exactly." Nino shook her head before looking around her as though she was searching for something, or to be more specific, someone. "Did Fuu-kun go somewhere? I need to talk to him about something important."

That's a bit strange. Earlier, Nino was fooling around with Fuutarou and making him embarrassed and now she looked serious regarding him. What did she have in mind? While Ichika and Yotsuba were confused with Nino's sudden change, it was Itsuki who answered.

"Well, Miku was planning to take a shower before eating dinner to freshen up, and Uesugi-kun wanted to ask her something so he followed her to the bathroom. I have no idea if they're already done, though. I went back here after speaking with them for a bit." Itsuki explained, since she was with the both of them earlier, listening to what happened during their date, and well… it was quite embarrassing to know, even though Miku told her it was okay.

However, Nino had taken her sister's explanation differently. The moment she said that 'Fuu-kun followed Miku to the bathroom', the pinkette had stopped listening as her thoughts drifted away, thinking that their tutor had LITERALLY walked into the bath while Miku was still there!

Did he have no shame?! Walking into the bath while someone was still there?! And it was her own sister too!

"I'm gonna kill him! That pervert thinks he can prey on Miku… I'm here, aren't I?!" she said to herself, unaware of what she meant in her last thought. Her protective instincts kicking in, Nino growled before marching towards the bathroom, aiming to give Fuutarou a piece of her mind, not caring anymore if she was his maid or not. She ignored Yotsuba, Itsuki, and Ichika's to calm her down and was completely focused on knocking some sense into her 'Master'.

Screw the bet, she would protect her sister until the end!

However, the moment she got there, her eyes widened when Miku was outside the bathroom, still fully-clothed while holding a towel with Fuutarou standing before her.

"T-They're… outside… the bath…?" All signs of her becoming angry immediately disappeared, and she momentarily forgot what she was here for. There was no time for recuperating though, as Nino could clearly hear what they were talking about and she was forced to hide to prevent getting seen by the two, only to unintentionally listen in on what was being discussed.

"...do you really think Nino likes me?" Fuutarou said, scratching the back of his head in confusion. "Or maybe it's really just your assumption? I've been trying to observe her like you said, but… I really don't get that girl."

So, they were talking about her! The pinkette was surprised upon knowing this, while wondering what it could be about, only for her to look genuinely hurt upon hearing what Fuutarou said about her. What did he mean by that? Did he not notice her actions towards him this whole time? Not even the obvious signs? The moment he said that 'he doesn't get her' added to it, and Nino felt a pang of hurt in her chest, particularly a small flame that was burning brightly inside her.

"Of course she does," Miku nodded. "Nino's just a bit complicated to understand at times, but we can all see it. She likes you, and she will surely try to show you what she feels later on."

Nino felt a bit better upon hearing Miku's words, getting her to smile slightly. At the very least, her sister believed in her, right?

Fuutarou nodded back, before leaning against the wall behind him and crossing his arms, doing a thinking pose. "I know, but… I just can't understand her. Maybe it's because you've known each other since birth, while I just came into your lives only recently. Or maybe it's because you're sisters, and I'm just supposed to be your tutor. One second, she's angry with me for some reason, and I'm so confused with what gets her mad… a second later, she'll be all smug and feeling powerful, which honestly pisses me off… after that, she's giving me advice, which I admit, what I like about her. And then the next thing I know, she'll act all flirty and… ugh, sexy…" He blushed upon saying 'sexy', before shaking his head to get rid of it. "...you know, like what happened earlier."

Nino didn't even get to pick up the last things he said about her, her mind only registering the first two aspects of her. "Do I really…?" she thought, looking down as if she had lost a piece of herself. Her mind went back to how she first met Fuutarou, thinking of him as a stalker who was following her around. When it came to her initial treatment of him when he introduced himself as their tutor, she realized his words were true that tears formed in her eyes because she couldn't deny it.

To put it simply, she was a bitch to him.

And well… now, she had doubts about herself. Earlier, she had every intention of confessing to Fuutarou like what Miku did, and hoped he would choose her in the end. Now, she wasn't sure. Would it even lead to something? If it wasn't for him being their tutor, he would never want to be around her again. Right now, Fuu-kun's interest had been on Miku even though she wasn't his maid anymore, so it wouldn't be surprising if he chooses her sister, regardless if she confesses or not. That burning flame inside her had begun to turn cold, feeling that it was indeed too late.

She even forgot about her goal of having him watch her cook his dinner, thinking that it would be pointless by now. She actually had a few tears rolling down her cheeks too, but did nothing to get rid of them.

"Don't be hard on Nino." Miku pouted at Fuutarou, finding his first two remarks towards her sister to be quite offending. "She may act like she's tough most of the time, but she's actually a very insecure person."

"Insecure?" Fuutarou raised an eyebrow in interest.

Nino, having heard her sister speak up on her behalf, turned back to the ongoing conversation between Fuutarou and Miku even with teary eyes.

"She didn't like you around at first because she thought you might take one of us away." Miku explained, much to Fuu's confusion. "In her eyes, she… she was thinking that you could fall in love with any of us and eventually take someone with you. She didn't want any of her sisters possibly leaving her behind, so… she wanted to see if you were going to do just that. But… look at what happened as time passed. She actually likes having you around now, and even gained feelings for you as I did."

He thought of her words for a moment, recalling the moment when he first met Nino, and the events that led to the present. "I see… that actually makes sense, now that I think about it." Fuutarou nodded slowly, taking all of that information as he thought about Nino and how she had slowly changed the more he spent time with her and the other quints.

More tears flowed from Nino's eyes as she listened to Miku defending her actions and even explaining her reasons for doing such things. Her lips trembled with emotion and if she could, she'd charge straight for her sister right now, hug her tight and cry on her shoulder until her tear ducts run dry. Screw acting tough, she wasn't in the mood for that right now.

Miku giggled at him. "If you want another example, Nino takes cooking very seriously. It's like every food she makes is a symbol of her pride as a person. If there's ever someone who doesn't like what she makes, she'll begin to doubt herself and even become depressed."

Fuutarou could only imagine that particular scenario in his mind, finding it very likely for Nino to be sad even at the mere thought of someone being unsatisfied with her cooking. "I can see that happening, but… I actually like her cooking. I wouldn't mind being around here more to get a free taste." he acknowledged.

"Now do you understand my point, Fuutarou?" Miku leaned forward and looked up at him with a knowing smile.

The blue-haired teen looked away embarrassingly before sighing in defeat. "Knowing these things, I… guess I understand Nino a lot better now… honestly, I thought she was a spoiled brat back then, but now… she's not as bad as I thought she was. I guess she's… just misunderstood." he admitted, looking guilty for even thinking of Nino as a child.

Her eyes widened at hearing Fuutarou's words. Her tears stopped flowing and she just stared at the boy whom she developed feelings for from a distance. D-Did he really mean them? Could there still be a chance for her to make her feelings known? Maybe it wasn't too late for her, after all…

"I know, so that's why you have to stay with Nino tonight." Hearing this made the pinkette who was still in hiding to blush violently. It almost seemed like Miku was saying…

"Oh, right!" Fuutarou exclaimed as he remembered something from last night. "Do you want me to… you know, come to your room tonight?" Miku blushed furiously and the blue-haired teen had to quickly explain before Miku took it the wrong way. "I mean, last night, you were so eager, uhm… to do it again so… I'm just taking precautions because you literally dragged me to your room last night that I didn't know what was happening."

"I-It's okay, it's not me you should be worrying about." Miku told him, becoming further embarrassed when she remembered that it was indeed her who wanted to have sex with her Master again. Anyways, Fuutarou was slightly surprised with her answer before the girl continued. "Like I said, Nino wouldn't hesitate to prove her feelings to you. That involves… h-having sex too…"

Both Fuutarou and Nino's faces had turned crimson red at Miku's statement, clearly embarrassed and caught off guard with what she said. Unlike the pinkette whose face was comparable to a tomato right now, Fuutarou had coughed into his hand to snap himself out of it and return to his serious demeanor.

"I have no idea if it will go as far as that, but… I'm worried about you. I know you love your sisters, but do you really want that to happen? I can't stand the thought that I'm hurting someone else with my own actions, more so if I could have prevented it from happening."

As they continued talking with one another, many things were crossing Nino's mind right now. "Fuu-kun… and Miku… they… they really did… have sex last night…" she thought, realizing that she was right after all this time and what she saw wasn't a dream. If this had taken place at another time, she would make her presence known and proceed to beat up Fuutarou for tainting her sister's purity, but she didn't feel that way right now. In fact, she didn't even bother with the fact that the two implied that having sex in Miku's bedroom was their second time going at it.

No, right now her mind was completely focused on everything that Miku said about her. It completely turned her mood around that she wasn't even crying anymore, knowing that she had an ally in her sister. She couldn't be more thankful for that.

And then… Fuutarou.

She was ready to give up when she was contemplating on her past actions towards him, feeling that he wouldn't want to deal with such a complex girl like her. The flames of passion burning inside her were about to be put out, just when she realized it all too late. Nino felt that he would rather be around someone like Miku, who can be gloomy at times but was actually a sweet and gentle soul inside. He wouldn't want someone who was as violent and bitchy as her…

Until she heard him admitting that he was finally starting to understand her. It reignited the flames inside her and gave her hope, realizing that she still had a chance. Nino could still make her feelings known, and whether he sticks with her in the end or not, she would have no regrets in choosing to admit her feelings.

But wait, wasn't she supposed to be angry with him for claiming her sister's virginity?

After all that she had heard between Fuutarou and Miku right now… she couldn't bring herself to be angry. Scratch that, she didn't want to be angry.

Many other thoughts started to invade her mind right now, but one thing was clear. She knew what to do now, and the first thing she needed was for Fuutarou to join her in the kitchen.

Nino wiped the tears from her eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She stood up and made sure the apron she was wearing wasn't ruined or anything, before finally stepping out of her hiding place.

"-in a tough situation right now… I might not even be able to—"

"Master…"

The moment they heard another voice, Fuutarou stopped speaking as he and Miku turned their heads to see Nino with a bashful look on her face, much to their surprise.

"W-What is it, Nino?" he asked, his discussion with Miku about the pinkette herself earlier still fresh in his mind, and it caused him to look at her in a new light from how he saw her back then.

"I…" she began, only to falter in her words momentarily out of nervousness. She didn't want to mess up, as this might be her only chance in getting to confess her feelings. "C...Can you… can you help me out in… the k-kitchen, Master…? I… can't finish our dinner… w-without help…" she asked, looking at Fuutarou with pleading eyes.

Fuutarou was caught off guard himself upon hearing what Nino said. She basically asked him for his help in the kitchen, which he had never seen happening even once for as long as he could remember being around the quints for the first time. Her own sisters didn't even help her out when she would cook, because it was her greatest quality and every dish she would make was a manifestation of her own pride as a whole.

"I…" It was Fuu's turn to fail in his words, not knowing he should respond. He actually turned to Miku for help, and she only nodded, giving him the answer he needed. Taking a deep breath, he turned towards Nino again and gave her a stiff nod. "Sure thing."

Nino smiled warmly in gratitude as she turned around to lead her Master to the kitchen, just like how she planned.

---

"I have the feeling that there's more to this… Nino's been quiet ever since explaining to me what I should do." Fuutarou said, sneaking a glance towards the pinkette, who was busy frying some pork cutlets on a frying pan. Apparently, she was planning to make katsudon for Fuutarou all along, but due to certain circumstances, she needed her master to help her by chopping two onions into fine slices to be added to the dish. He had no problem with this, but what bothered him was that Nino has been too quiet ever since telling him what to do, which was totally unlike her. "And she wanted me, her, uhm… 'Master'... to come help her… so it's too much of a coincidence. I think she's planning something…"

"The onions are done, should I bring them over there?" He called out, setting aside the knife he used before he saw Nino turn to him and nod.

With that, he brought the chopping board that had the onions towards the pinkette, who added them along to the pork. A good two minutes should be enough for the meat to be cooked to perfection, and everything would be set for dinner.

He stood beside Nino, admiring the dish that they had prepared together. After learning that she was planning to make this for him solely, he couldn't stop himself from being overwhelmed, feeling that Nino didn't have to do such a thing.

"Nino, I guess I should give you my thanks…" he smiled, while also rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment. "You really didn't have to do this, but who am I to deny what you— N-Nino…?" he was cut off when the girl suddenly hugged his arm tightly, but had her head down so that he wouldn't see her face.

"Fuu-kun…" she said in a quiet tone that Fuutarou feared what might come next. "Do you hate me…?"

"W-What?" He wasn't sure if he heard her right with that, and he could only hope she didn't say what he thought she said.

He felt Nino hug his arm tighter, which caught him off guard. "Looking back… when we first met… I was horrible to you. I wasn't like Ichika… Yotsuba… Miku… or even Itsuki. I'm not… someone you want to be around with… and then… out of nowhere, I began to have feelings for you… without even considering what you saw me as…" Fuutarou could have sworn he heard her choke back a sob, causing him to worry. What was she getting all emotional for?!

He quickly turned off the stove just in case, before placing his hand on the pinkette's shoulder. "Nino, what's all this about? You never acted like this." He asked, frowning in confusion at her sudden change of attitude.

"I…I heard you and Miku… talking earlier… and I pretty much… heard everything you said about me…" she revealed while keeping her head down, causing Fuu to go wide-eyed and start stuttering. "So, please tell me, Fuu-kun… do you hate me…?"

"I… N-Nino, please listen… it's not what you think, I don't really—" he was cut off when Nino's grip on his arm became tighter before she finally looked up at him, tears threatening to form in her eyes.

"Please tell me the truth."

Fuutarou gritted his teeth for a few moments, realizing that Miku was right about Nino being an insecure person before sighing. "Fine, I'll admit it." he said grimly, feeling the pinkette's hold on his arm loosening as a result. "I didn't like you when we first met, and I didn't want to be around you as much as you didn't want to be around me. In the end, I didn't have a choice because I was chosen to be your tutor and I had to bear it." He placed a hand on her other shoulder and stared into her blue orbs. "But I never hated you, you hear me? I don't hate any of you, I'm not that cold. Besides, it's already in the past. I don't even dislike you anymore, and I like having you around, actually. Don't ever think of yourself that way, got that? Don't ever think that I hated you, Nino… because I don't." he said in a serious tone, not wanting the girl to feel as though she was the villain in this.

Her eyes became teary after listening to Fuutarou's words that the next thing she did was throw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly and burying her face into his shirt. The teen felt horrible for being the reason why Nino was crying like this, but the only thing he could do now was wrap his arms around her too, patting her soft back in comfort. He even forgot that she was only wearing an apron right now, so only a piece of fabric pretty much separated her skin from himself.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…" she sobbed into his shirt over and over.

"Don't think too much into it." He said, doing his best to reassure the girl that everything was alright. He couldn't bear the sight of a strong girl like Nino being emotional like this, especially if he was the reason. The same thing pretty much happened to Miku last night, and luckily he was able to resolve that. "It doesn't matter to me anymore and like I told Miku, I understand your reason now… for being that way. And I can't blame you for that. I'd honestly do the same if I was in your shoes… so, there's no need for you to cry, Nino… please."

It took Nino more than a full minute to finally calm down from her crying but when she finally did, the girl just stayed in Fuutarou's warm embrace and didn't make any attempt to pull away. The boy was confused with this, but didn't dare to make any move to push her away, or she might snap again and they would be back to square one.

"Fuu-kun," she called out.

"Hm?"

"You're quite the smooth-talker when it comes to girls, huh?" she smiled knowingly. Looks like she was finally going back to her old self, thank Kami. "Did you do this when you were with Miku~?"

"I'm not doing anything on purpose," he deadpanned.

"Really? Ne, Fuu-kun…" Nino got even closer, reaching up towards his face. Fuutarou started to blush, having a feeling of what would come next, but he didn't move away. He thought of Miku's words from earlier, and as much as he would rather not make this more complicated (assuming it wasn't already that way), he didn't do anything to decline or push the girl away. Fuutarou understood Nino a lot better now, and he didn't want to hurt her feelings just after he witnessed her crying a while ago.

He could feel her breath touching his cheeks, and still he kept on staring at Nino reaching towards him as she closed her eyes.

Within a few seconds, they were already kissing. Fuutarou himself closed the gap between them, and he could've sworn he heard Nino moan as he did so. Her lips were softer compared to Miku, leading him to believe that this was her first kiss as they remained frozen for a bit. For someone who acted all sexy and seductive around him, he would expect Nino to know what to do right now. Nonetheless, he felt that he should guide her into this just like how he did it for Miku.

His hand reached up to her cheek, gently caressing her skin with his fingers. This action surprised her for a bit, but it was enough for Fuutarou to deepen the kiss a little. His head tilted slightly and Nino mirrored it, beginning to get into it more. She knew that kissing felt good, but she had no idea it would feel this amazing. It only got better when his arm wrapped around her, pulling her closer to him and actually causing Nino to whimper in delight. He took that as a good sign and continued, before feeling her arms wrap around his neck in return, pulling herself closer to him too. As she started to lose herself in the kiss, Nino only focused on the boy before her, the one that showed her this new world of sensation and feelings. Fuutarou lightly sucked on her lips, taking in her unique taste and marking it in his mind. As much as the quints differed in personalities, it seemed as though they differed in how their lips felt too, managing to distinguish Nino from Miku.

Hell, Nino was loving it. She didn't want it to end. She didn't want to pull away from kissing her Fuu-kun. Her sisters could come here right now and catch them in the act but she wouldn't care. This was her first kiss and she would cherish it forever, more so because she had done it with the man she loved. The flames inside her chest had never burned this before, and the pinkette felt herself being filled with so much life that she forgot what she was crying about earlier. Unfortunately, she had to breath. Nino held on as much as she could before finally breaking the kiss, gasping for air afterwards.

"Hey, take it easy, Nino." He told her, noticing how the girl looked as if she had been put in a trance. Did the kiss really feel that good? Fuutarou began scratching the back of his neck out of nervousness, but when she finally snapped out of it, Nino looked up at him with pleading eyes. "Easy there, I'm not going anywhere."

"Then…" Nino was blushing and feeling embarrassed for once, as she felt insanely good while kissing Fuutarou just now. It felt like she was a butterfly that landed on the perfect flower inside a garden, that she never wanted to be separated from it. "...one more time?" she asked shyly.

"I don't think that's a good idea." He shook his head, before glancing at the living room where her sisters were. They were still watching television and Miku had just joined them after coming out of the bathroom. Luckily, no one among them had noticed that he just kissed Nino, which made him sigh in relief. "We still have to eat dinner, and I don't believe they would take the scene of you and me kissing so lightly… maybe except for Miku." he explained, turning back towards the pinkette.

"I-Is that so?" she said sadly. Nino looked really down now, and Fuutarou didn't know what to do. Should he try and make her feel better? Give in to what she wanted? She was entirely different from her sister, and he doubted that what made Miku happy could also make Nino feel the same. He gritted his teeth in frustration, feeling stumped and lost at the same time.

Something from the conversation between Miku and Fuu-kun earlier crossed her mind, causing a smile to form on her face once again. "Ne, Fuu-kun…" she called out again, making him shudder with the sultry tone she used. "I heard about what you and Miku did last night~"

His eyes snapped open as he immediately bowed in shame, remembering earlier how Nino said that she overheard his whole discussion with Miku outside of the bathroom. And, well… that must have slipped past his mind and now… he was screwed. Knowing Nino, she'll beat him up so bad before throwing him out of the house.

Yep, he was screwed.

Big time.

"Forgive me! I didn't mean to force myself on Miku or anything! I would never do something like that to her, I promise! W-We both wanted it, and I asked her if she was sure before we went further! She actually—"

He cut himself short from his words when he heard Nino giggling in a cute manner, covering her mouth with her hand to muffle herself and causing him to look towards her with a confused expression. She wasn't going to punish him? After a few seconds, she finally stopped giggling at his nervous state and shook her head afterwards.

"I already know, and… I can't forget all the things that Nino said about me earlier." she smiled, before blushing in embarrassment once again as she looked into his eyes. "So… like what she told you… can you… be with me tonight too… M-Master? Can you… do it with me too…?"

His eyes slowly widened at what she asked of him, beginning to wonder if this was still Nino whom he was talking to. She was so vastly different compared to the Nino he knew, but he was sure that this was still her. Like what Miku told him, Nino was just misunderstood most of the time, until her true personality surfaces and chooses to show it. Now, as the brunette told him, Nino was no doubt asking him to come to her room later on and elope with her like with her sister. It was almost scary how Miku knew this would happen, but he was in no place to complain. They were family, after all.

Still, he had to give Nino an answer or this would go nowhere. He thought about Miku for a quick moment, before reminding himself of what she told him. He stood up straight, before Fuutarou stared back into her aqua-colored eyes and smiled. "If it makes you happy, Nino… why not?" He nodded.

The smile that formed on Nino's face had reached her ears to the point that everybody on the dinner table would ask her about what's gotten her so happy all of a sudden.

---

Dinner went just as planned, with Nino serving katsudon to her Master solely, while she cooked curry for her sisters. Fuutarou was flustered about Nino cooking something that was exclusive to him (despite him helping out a bit in preparing), more so because he enjoyed her cooking but Nino assured him that it was her pleasure and encouraged him to eat all he wanted.

Ichika, Yotsuba, and surprisingly Miku teased Fuutarou about bringing out a side of Nino that was supposed to be shown only around her sisters, which was to be able to cook for those she cared about. Although Itsuki was envious of Fuutarou having katsudon as his dinner, she eventually joined in teasing him about the same thing. Nino didn't try to save him, as she actually joined in and giggled at his cute and flustered reaction.

Fuutarou's embarrassed look the entire time was something to behold, but it was worth it. The katsudon he had for dinner was something he would treasure for a long time.

Right now, though, the blue-haired teen was making sure that no one was about to see him go into Nino's bedroom. After dinner, Nino told him to go to her room only when her sisters were all inside of their own rooms so that nobody would catch him in the act. He was the last one to take a bath among the people inside the residence just to make sure of that. Furthermore, the other quints must be in their own bedrooms, either sleeping already or just relaxing until they would fall asleep.

Once he was sure that nobody was around, he took a deep breath and made his way inside, quickly locking the door behind him in order to not make the same mistake as he did last night.

Turning his attention to the room itself, he found Nino sitting on the bed wearing a dark pink bathrobe. He raised an eyebrow at this, since he saw her already done taking a bath for the night. Why hasn't she dressed herself up already? She had her usual bowties on, but that was pretty much it. She had her arms crossed, only to smile when she saw him enter the room. Looks like she was waiting for him to show up.

"You came!" she beamed, standing up from the bed and quickly walking up towards him.

He scratched his neck in embarrassment, still feeling a bit awkward that he was about to do 'it' with Nino tonight. Just yesterday, he was with Miku and now, he was with her sister. It almost felt like he was in some kind of poorly-written fanfiction as the main character who gains a harem of five beautiful sisters who all love him… yeah, right.

"It was kind of hard to find an opportunity…" he sighed. "Yotsuba was the last to go up to her room and when she did, I was starting to get sleepy myself. Well… luckily I didn't. That girl and her energy sometimes…"

Nino chuckled at him. She knew Yotsuba couldn't easily get tired and Fuutarou challenging her on that aspect must have been an unfortunate situation for him. Well either way, if he had fallen asleep, she would've went down and fetched him on the couch.

The moment she stopped in her moment of humor, Nino blushed upon remembering something… interesting that happened to her last night. Oh right, Fuu-kun had no idea about that… better tell him before they do anything then. He deserved to know at least, and well… she felt embarrassed about watching him and her sister go at it like rabbits… to the point that she couldn't help but play with herself while it happened.

"Uhm, Fuu-kun…" she muttered in a quiet tone, yet loud enough for the boy to hear. "B-Before we continue, I… need to tell you something."

Fuutarou raised an eyebrow at her. "What is it?"

"I…" Her blush deepened as she remembered what happened last night, more so that what she saw was true all along. "L-Last night, I… k-kind of… saw you and Miku, uhm… having… sex… in her… room." she admitted with an atomic blush dusting her cheeks.

His pupils shrank after hearing what Nino said, as his cheeks also began to heat up. "W-What…?"

"I… saw you two having sex last night, and… I kinda ended up… m-masturbating to the sounds you made…" The look on Fuutarou's turned into one that showed horror. "I-It's why I didn't really get to sleep much last night, and… I thought it was a dream at first, and well… you get me, right?!" she exclaimed, unable to take the embarrassment any longer. "I thought it was real when Miku said something during lunch, but you know what happened that time and… I happened to… listen to the two of you earlier… right?"

"I knew it! I'm such an idiot!" Fuutarou face-palmed in frustration, blaming himself for getting caught in the act. Of course, it wasn't really his fault since Miku dragged him all the way towards there, but… well, it's too late for that. "Argh, I should've locked the door while we were about to do it last night, but I couldn't take my eyes off your sister! She was being so cute that it was impossible for me to pay attention to something else!"

Nino thought of Fuutarou trying to cover up for Miku's actions as cute, as the blush on her face started to dissipate and she actually began to giggle. Of course, she knew that no one was at fault here, and well… this was just her Fuu-kun being Fuu-kun.

"I'm sorry you had to see that," he bowed in shame again. "If it wasn't for the door being locked, you wouldn't have seen us, you wouldn't have… played with yourself, and… well, none of this could've happened!" he exclaimed, only for Nino step forward to press her finger to his lips, telling him to be quiet. He did just that, before the pinkette walked up even closer towards him.

"That's enough, Fuu-kun. Don't beat yourself up over it, because neither you nor Miku were at fault. You two wanted to do it, and… I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time." He was about to speak up again and tell her she didn't do anything, but Nino beat him to it, leaning even closer towards Fuu that he started to wonder if she was planning something. "And it's okay, I'm not angry over it. Miku was your maid that time, and I shouldn't be mad at her own decisions. And in fact… if it wasn't for me being there, this… this might never happen between us~"

With that, Nino took one step backward and grabbed the knot that held her bathrobe together, before undoing it in pull and letting the garment slide over her shoulders as it fell to the floor. Fuutarou's mouth hung agape in shock and his cheeks burned red upon seeing that Nino was wearing nothing underneath her bathrobe, and now she was left completely naked before him. Yep, looks like there was no going back now, not after Nino basically stripped right in front of him and causing his 'little buddy' to twitch.

The girl had a blush of her own at being naked in front of a boy, but kept strong by reminding herself that this is what she wanted. "I should thank Miku tomorrow…" she spoke up, leaning closer towards Fuu-kun once again, freezing him in his place. His blush deepened as Nino pressed her naked self against him. "If it wasn't for her turning you down, I wouldn't have this chance… if it wasn't for her explaining things to you earlier, I wouldn't even have continued with this… and if it wasn't for her telling you to stay with me, then I wouldn't have invited the one I love in my room." By now, her face inches apart from Fuutarou, their eyes gazing at one another and creating a trance that was limited to only the two of them.

"N-Nino…" he stared at her in shock, having caught off guard with her last statement as the girl put her hand on his cheek.

"Of course, I want to be with Fuu-kun in the end. I'll do everything to make it up to him once we're finally together, and I'll be really happy… but that's not up to me." she said sadly, before a smile formed on her face as she looked up into the boy's eyes. The flames that burned inside her chest was alive as they could be, and it seemed as though it was begging to be unleashed. "At the very least… like Miku, I can show you… what I truly feel."

Fuutarou gulped, nervous of what was coming next and yet, he still didn't push her away. How could he, when Nino was being honest with what she felt?

"Whether you choose me or not, Fuu-kun… I will always love you."

That did it. His eyes were wide open and his jaw dropped upon hearing Nino's confession of her feelings.

What Miku told him would happen… actually came true.

There was no hint of a joking tone in her voice, and she wasn't teasing him or anything. No, this was genuine and he couldn't deny it. Nino was being honest with her own feelings and Fuutarou didn't know what to do. He thought about Miku and her confession yesterday, and it was almost like it was the same thing! He actually felt overwhelmed once again, but unlike yesterday, he couldn't get outside of the house now to get some fresh air for himself.

No, he had to respond or he might make Nino cry again, and there was no chance hell that he would let that happen. He couldn't do that to Nino. And luckily, he now had an idea on what to do, and he'll give her what she wanted.

He closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth. "Nino…!" he exclaimed before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. The girl's eyes widened for a moment before losing herself completely, kissing her Fuu-kun back as much as she could. Fuutarou quickly took action and wrapped his arms around her bare back, hugging her closer towards him which surprised Nino at the very least. Normally, it was her who made such advances on the guy and, well… it felt different that Fuutarou was the one doing it.

It felt different, but definitely not unwelcomed.

Nino moaned into the kiss when she felt his Fuu's fingers tracing various shapes along her back, unaware that she had just let him take the lead. Like what he did with Miku, Fuutarou explored her mouth his tongue and amazingly, he made a quick note regarding the quints in general using what he noticed from the two girls he had been with.

"Interesting… they're so alike in physical appearance that even their mouths feel the same!" He said, before focusing on Nino's lips now. "But their lips… they taste different from one another… quite an unusual way on how to distinguish them." He referred to Miku's lips as somewhat akin to blueberries when they kiss, while Nino tasted like strawberries. This didn't hinder him but rather, made him interested in exploring more of what made each sister different from the other, and what other similar traits they possibly shared.

"Fuu-kun~" Nino moaned in delight when she felt Fuutarou's tongue on her own, following her actions and now engaging in a heated makeout session with her beloved. Her arms reached up towards his dark blue hair, running her fingers all over his scalp as a clear sign that she was enjoying this. She didn't even notice that she failed in the battle of tongues between her and Fuu-kun, too lost with what she felt because her whole body was experiencing it.

"Wait… is she…?" He said in his thoughts, quite surprised with how Nino acted just now. He would've thought she would fight back and prove herself that she could take him, but there was no sign of that.

Unfortunately, she was brought out of her little trance when Fuutarou broke off the kiss and pushed her away gently. "W-Why did you stop…?" she asked, confused with his sudden halt as she was still enjoying the feeling of their lips joined together in harmony.

"Take off my shirt, Nino." He said in a serious tone, pointing to the white t-shirt he was wearing at the moment.

"W-What?" she asked, caught off guard with Fuutarou's sudden change in voice. He sounded… demanding for some reason and, well… this was the first time she heard him like this. She knew he always has a serious tone whenever he spoke, but now it's like he was more serious than before.

"I said, take off my shirt, Nino." He repeated in the same tone, assuming he didn't sound more serious than before. It actually brought a chill down the girl's spine that she quickly nodded in response.

"O-Okay." She began to lift up his shirt, and Fuutarou raised his arms above his head so that Nino can take it off. Her eyes widened and the pinkette blushed violently upon seeing his bare chest, shocked with what he was packing underneath. Fuutarou always made himself look like a study maniac who had no time for exercise and working out, and even hid himself with clothing all of the time that it was impossible to see him even being shirtless. Nino bit her lip and tried to keep her gaze towards Fuu's face, trying her best not to ogle at his chest.

How ironic for a girl who took great pleasure in making the blue-haired teen flustered and embarrassed with her own body or actions as much as she could.

He only chuckled at her reaction before swooping down to take her lips again, with Nino moaning happily as he did so. This time, he allowed the girl to push her tongue into his mouth while his attention was elsewhere. His hands went to her shoulders and down to her breasts, cupping each mound in his hand before molding them together. Nino broke off the kiss this time to let out another moan, but he didn't let her get away and captured her lips again. This time, he pushed her tongue back into her own mouth before they made out passionately.

His thumbs ran over her nipples, feeling them become stiff with arousal. Fuutarou took that as a good sign before letting go of her melons as his hands went to her sides, running them up and down along her skin, and giving the girl goosebumps. Nino was clearly enjoying this, judging from the look on her face as she remained perfectly still, unaware that she was letting Fuu-kun pretty much do everything while she was relishing in the pleasure that her whole body was feeling right now.

She broke off from their kiss in need of air, yet she didn't stop from urging her love to continue. "Fuu-kun… m-more~" Nino moaned out when she felt his hands travel to her back and went south, nearing her plump backside. The moment his hands reached their destination, the pinkette had leaned forward to initiate the kiss this time, and her Fuu-kun accepted it without hesitation. His hands took each of her ass cheeks, squeezing her soft skin just like what he did with Miku the previous night and playing with them like dough.

Nino started to lose herself that she began to lean towards him even more, that at any moment now, they could fall to the floor. What she didn't expect, however, was Fuutarou delivering a hard slap to her left ass cheek.

"Mm!" she whimpered, her eyes snapping open as Fuutarou broke off their snogfest. Before she could say anything, he was already within inches of her face with his serious expression.

"You forgot what you're supposed to call me, Nino." he frowned at her, while hiding a little smirk upon seeing the girl actually look nervous for a second. Did he bring out a new side to the normally tough, playful, and snappy pinkette he came to knew? Apparently, Nino was more in touch with her lustful side compared to Miku, who was a bit shy regarding this aspect but nonetheless able to show it when she couldn't help it.

"So this is what makes her different from Miku… I almost thought they were the same. Looks like they do have different personalities too when it comes to the bedroom," he said in his thoughts, figuring out a small but interesting detail about Nino.

"F-Fuu-kun…?" she asked in confusion, wondering what this was about. Her mind was still in a lustful trance so she wasn't able to think straight immediately. "Iya~!" This got her another slap to the same area on her butt, making her yelp in surprise as her mind went back on track.

"Wrong answer," he whispered to her ear which sent shivers down her spine. "You're supposed to be my maid today, right?"

"M-Master…?" she tried to answer again, before expecting another spank from Fuutarou but to her surprise, nothing came. In fact, the only thing he gave her was a kiss on the forehead which made her blush slightly.

"There we go." He smiled, before he felt Nino lunge towards him that caught him off guard. Luckily, Fuutarou was able to bear his footing but he was surprised that the pinkette had nearly tackled him to the ground if it wasn't for his quick reaction.

"Master, please give me more~" she looked up at him with a lustful gaze combined with her usual seductive expression. Her eyes basically showed him that she was already longing for his touch, and wanted her Fuu-kun to continue his actions. "Do whatever you want, I want to feel more from you before the night ends~"

"Now hold on there Nino, you nearly tackle me to the floor out of nowhere and now you demand me to do those things to you?" he asked her through narrowed eyes, which caused Nino's expression to turn from sexy to nervous.

"Uhm… n-no, you can do whatever you want, Master… I was just… t-trying to turn you on?" she replied, moving away from Fuutarou a little bit so that it wouldn't look like she tackled him or anything.

"Turning me on, huh… well unfortunately, it doesn't work that way, Nino." He said, shaking his head. "You don't need to show that seductive look you always do, because it's not working. I already see it whenever you try something to tease me. I figure it out by myself, and not the other way around."

"S-Sorry, Master…?" she gulped in nervousness, feeling she had screwed up.

"That won't work a second time." He smirked before he pushed Nino towards the bed behind her rather hard, causing the girl to lie on her back as result. Fuutarou flashed a small grin as he ran his eyes over Nino's naked form, before settling on the most aroused part of her body. Her pussy was practically glistening with her juices, showing how much she had gotten aroused in a short period of time.

Nino looked up at Fuutarou in a mixture of both nervousness and anticipation. "What is this? I-It's like he's a totally different person! It's scary!" she thought to herself, as the mental image of the Fuu-kun she knew had shattered into a million pieces.

"Someone's been a bad maid, and I think some punishment is in order." Nino yelped in surprise as her Fuu-kun flipped her over on her stomach and brought up her ass closer towards him. The pinkette's face turned a shade darker than Itsuki's hair as she knew that Fuutarou was staring directly at her most private region, before she felt her Master sticking in two fingers into her wet and throbbing her pussy.

"Ahh, Master~!" she moaned out loudly, immediately beginning to feel weak in her legs but Fuutarou resolved that by holding her hips in place. When he did this, her toes had curled instead before her ass shook in ecstasy. He let out a chuckle at her reaction, taking it as a sign that she was enjoying this and clearly wanted more.

"Hah~ look at you, Nino. Someone's enjoying her punishment…" he teased with a grin of his own. His fingers began to pick up speed while his free hand roughly grabbed her ass cheek and gave her spank after spank, earning a yelp each time from the moaning pinkette. Her pussy felt hot and wet at the same time, and Fuutarou couldn't help but feel more of it. He soon added a third finger and turned his focus to spanking her other cheek, which made Nino turn to him with a panting expression, showing that she was reaching her climax fast at this rate.

"I think I now know what is it about Nino that turns me on." he said mentally, taking a good look at the lustful look she was giving him: her tongue was hanging out, she was panting like a dog in heat, while her eyes longed for him. That submissive look alone was starting to drive him crazy, but he had to be patient. For Miku, he found out that simply her saying all kinds of dirty stuff would get a reaction from him. Now for Nino, it looks like her erotic expressions were enough to get him going, as he saw them as something that truly showed her sexy side. As proof, the bulge inside his pants became so big that his cock was begging for freedom at this point.

How fitting for someone who normally teased him seductive looks.

Nino clenched her fists as she began to bite on her own bedsheets to try and muffle herself. "W-Why does it feel so good?! He's… s-spanking me, and yet… I don't feel hurt at all… I feel… more alive, actually… F-Fuu-kun's fingers… they're… driving me crazy… I-I can't think—!" Her eyes snapped wide open when she felt Fuutarou's tongue lightly licking her backdoor.

"M-My ass! Master is licking my ass~!" she shouted out, her body shaking in his grasp out of so much pleasure. It was at this point that Nino's lustful side had returned, as she actually tried to push her ass deeper into Fuu-kun's face. The blue-haired teen was surprised by this, but nonetheless welcomed it as his tongue went circles around her butthole. His fingers never stopped playing with her gushing cunt, while his other hand didn't get tired of swatting her ass, increasing the pleasure felt by Nino.

"Heh~ how much longer can you last, my sexy beautiful maid?" he teased again. Nino's heart fluttered at being praised and complimented by the boy she loved, as she turned back to him with a silly smile, her own drool dripping out of her mouth and into her bedsheets.

She didn't think she could last much longer. The pink-haired beauty couldn't keep track of how many minutes had passed since her Master started to 'punish' her and she was losing her mind from his ministrations. "I'm cumming, Master~! I'm cumming, I'm cumming, I'm cumming, I'm cumming, I'M CUMMING~!" Nino rambled out, as she was finally approaching her limit.

"Then let it all out, Nino… it's what you did when you watched us last night, correct~?" He pulled away from her unused backdoor and hand stopped on slapping her ass, but his fingers never stopped pleasuring her hot pussy, as he felt her innards clench down tightly on his three digits.

With a scream, Nino threw her head back and came all over her Master's fingers, with some of her juices managing to create a small puddle on her sheets that went dry. Fuutarou stopped moving his fingers to let Nino properly go through her climax as he felt her fluids splash as far as his forearm, and he could only have an idea on what this meant. Meanwhile, the girl was panting heavily in exhaustion as he laid her head on the bed for a little rest since she just came down her orgasm. Nino actually whimpered in disappointment when she felt Fuu-kun's fingers leaving her pussy, that she looked back at him slowly, her eyes full of longing and lust, begging her Master for more.

Fuutarou brought his wet fingers up to his nose, slowly taking in Nino's scent and just like with Miku, it intoxicated him to the point that he didn't feel like playing around anymore. His mind was clouted in lust now as well, and he was eager to get his prize as much as the pinkette wanted him.

"That's enough playing around for one night." He shook his head and stood back, removing his belt before undoing his pants and taking them off along with his underwear, leaving Fuu completely naked like Nino. Despite her exhausted state, Nino's eyes had widened upon seeing his erect tool up close and personal, and it was so close to her by now. She remembered getting a brief glimpse of it last night, and even so, that wasn't enough. But now, it was just within arm's reach… Fuu-kun was just behind her…

He saw Nino trying to weakly reach out for his erection with her right arm, causing him to chuckle before stopping her midway. "I said I will stop playing around, but don't forget that you are still being punished." Hearing this, Nino quickly obeyed and tried to take back her arm but Fuutarou held it in place. She could only watch as he grabbed ahold of her other arm before using his own belt to tie her wrists together behind her, causing the pinkette to blush deeply. She could only imagine what this meant.

"M-Master~?" she quivered, giving a tug at her restraints. There was no way she could move her arms now, and it's as if she could in the first place. She had lost her strength in them, anyway. This

"You don't need to use your hands to get a feel of my dick, Nino…" he said in a casual manner, before grabbing her hips firmly and getting himself into a proper position, as the pink-haired beauty shivered in anticipation and lust. "Your pussy will do it for you…!" He pushed into Nino's wet pussy in one slam, going all the way deep inside her.

"MASTERRRRRR~~!" Nino screamed out lustfully as her virginity was taken. She raised her head for a bit, before falling back down on the bed. Her cheeks were so red that she looked like a steaming tomato, her eyes half covered by her eyelids that made her look half-asleep , and her mouth hung agape in a wide silly smile, her own drool creating a little puddle on her bed.

"You sisters are alike, even here." Fuutarou grunted in pleasure, pistoning in and out of Nino's cunt quite easily after the foreplay he did towards her. Sweat dripped down both of their bodies as they began to make love. "Holy shit, the both of you feel so good, my dick can't get enough!" He leaned forward a bit to get a view of the girl's ahegao expression, turning him on even more as he slammed his hips against her ass with renewed vigor.

"Yes~ Fuck me more, daddy~ hyaa~ I want more, daddy~ hyaa~ break me into two~!" Nino rasped out, completely losing her mind to lust as Fuutarou looked an her in surprise, although he didn't stop in his actions.

"Daddy?" he asked with a small frown, before realizing the context behind her words and causing him to give her a sly grin. "I see someone has gained a new fetish~" he teased, giving Nino another slap on her red backside as he rutted his hips against hers a lot faster now. "Another difference between sisters." He noted mentally, remembering how Miku only referred to him as 'Master'.

"It's not my fault~ hyaa~ your cock feels so good, daddy~!" Nino continued to ramble out, despite the fact that her tongue was hanging out once again and it made the two of them like animals in heat. By now, she was sure that she wouldn't be able to walk properly tomorrow, but that didn't matter right now. "Spank me more~! I want you to destroy my pussy~!" she moaned out in bliss, tears forming in her eyes.

"Damn, that is extreme even for you~" he remarked, caressing her burning cheek before giving her another swat, while didn't let up with paying her womanhood the utmost attention. "It seems I still have to punish you!" Even though both of her cheeks were already bright red, he kept on slapping them because he felt like it and Nino let out a whimper of delight every time his hand made contact with her skin. He even leaned forward to tease her two mounds of flesh in between spanks, creating a haven of bliss and ecstasy for the pinkette.

The two lovers had lost their sense of time as the seconds passed, only putting their focus on each other and not anywhere else. Fuutarou had brought Nino to a total of three orgasms at this point, while he still had to cum once. It was only when he felt that familiar feeling in his loins that he managed to snap out of it and grit his teeth in frustration.

"Holy fuck, at this rate, I'll get addicted to Nino's body!" He told himself, realizing he was slowly losing himself to his own lust and fearing for what might happen if he too succumbed to his innermost desires. "I need to finish this now before something else happens!" His hand stopped spanking her ass, making the pinkette moan in disappointment before she felt his arm hooking around hers.

"D-Daddy? Iya~!" Nino yelped as Fuutarou carried her up to his lap, her back against his chest as he didn't stop on fucking her from behind. The sounds of wet skin slapping against each other filled the room before he called out to her softly, devoid of any seriousness or authority.

"Nino." Upon hearing his voice, the pink-haired beauty slowly turned her head towards him as he leaned forward to kiss her on the lips. Nino whimpered into the liplock when Fuutarou's fingers reached down to her clit, rubbing the wet area around her pussy. His other arm unhooked itself from her own as he fondled her breasts too, attempting to make the both of them reach their climax at the same time.

"Damn it! I… can't… pull out…!" He grunted, feeling his orgasm finally arrive just when he couldn't pull out of Nino and save her from the possibility of getting pregnant. He'd have to tell her to take a contraceptive tomorrow morning, or there will be hell to pay for him… literally.

"MMMMMMMMMMM~!" the two of them moaned into each other's mouths as they reached their shared climax, drenching their respective sex organs with their combined juices. Fuutarou shot his hot cum into her innards, painting her inner walls white while Nino sprayed her vaginal fluids all over his pulsing cock. It took half a minute for it to die down, and their fluids had already began to leak out of Nino's pussy, only showing that it was too much for her to possibly handle.

Fuutarou had pulled away from the kiss breathing heavily, while Nino had leaned her head on his shoulder, passing out from exhaustion.

"D-Did I do this to her…?"

He sighed to himself, already knowing that she would hold this against him tomorrow, and it could have been prevented if he just didn't lose himself to the whole act.

Oh well, he would gladly endure what she had for him, but right now, she needed rest.

He removed the belt that tied her wrists together and resisted the urge to punch himself when he saw some red marks left behind on her skin because of the leather. Oh boy, he didn't even have to look at what he did to her butt, otherwise he may really just commit seppuku at this moment.

He let himself lie down on the bed first, with Nino lying on top of him. He felt bad for going too far with her, and he made another mental note to apologize tomorrow morning, if he doesn't get beat up badly, that is. Then maybe he could take her on a date too… yeah, that should be appropriate, and he could only hope she'll accept. He'll treat her with the love she deserved and wanted, just like with Miku.

Right now, they both needed the rest, especially him. It was actually amazing that Fuutarou managed to sexually satisfy two girls (who so happened to be sisters) for two consecutive nights without shutting down.

He was about to go to sleep with the thought of Nino being furious with him tomorrow, only to hear the pink-haired girl humming in contentment before actually snuggling closer towards him, causing his eyes to widen considerably and a small blush to appear on his cheeks.

Well, it looks like he can sleep peacefully tonight, after all.

He smiled before kissing the top of Nino's head and closing his eyes, as the wonders of sleep finally took over his tired self.

FUCKIN' HELL, THIS WAS A DAMN LONGASS OF A CHAPTER! I hope you guys enjoyed it, because I put in every ounce of effort into this one and I dedicate it to my 2nd Best Girl in the series! Seriously, I feel so bad for her with the canon ending that we got, and I want to make her happy! She's not really bad, unlike what some haters think lol. If it wasn't for Miku existing, Nino will definitely be my Best Girl, no questions asked.

To my fellow Miku fans, don't be sad that Nino's chapter is hella longer than our best girl's, hahahahahaha. If you truly read the chapter, you'll see that there are many Miku moments I've added here, even a *nudge nudge wink wink* hidden lemon between her and Fuu!

If you're gonna complain about Nino's lemon in this chapter, forget it. -_- I already thought about her being the dom, but it would be so out of context since she is supposed to be Fuutarou's maid, lmao. I still did my best in portraying another side of her that is rarely utilized in fanfictions and doujins, and the least you can do is appreciate it.

Next up is Ichika. Hmm, what could the aspiring actress have in store for Fuutarou? Remember what Miku said about her, that should be a clue. Anyway, find out next chapter!

Goodbye… and good night! BANG! *too sweet gesture*
