Ep 1: The Five Part Bride

Summary: One day, whilst heading back home from studying, a mysterious man hands Fuutarou a dvd case called Gotoubun no Hanayome, a video that is supposed to retell how the relationship between him and the Nakano Quintuplets formed along with the answers to several questions that the six of them have been asking. Though reluctant, the five girls and their tutor agree to watch together anyways. But will this show bring the six of them closer than before? Or will it instead shatter the bonds they made before their eyes?

Inspired by Turnphater's RWBY and JNPR react to the show as well as Crossoveraddict67's Maple Inn Residents watch the show.

A/N: Some context before we begin: This is set a few weeks after the Quintuplets have moved back into their old condo and after Nino and Fuutarou visited Revival's owner in the hospital. The events that happened during Seasons 1 and 2 have long occurred before then; Ichika and Miku have forgiven each other for the incident on the trip. The quints go back to their regular lifestyles with the occasional studying and everything seems perfectly back to normal… well, except that everyone minus Itsuki is gunning to be their tutor's girlfriend for sure.

Meanwhile after everything that has happened in Kyoto, Fuutarou had reverted to his usual self, staying at a desk for hours in the library and at home, trying to cram everything he can inside his overloaded brain for the final year exams as well as the upcoming Summer Festival that his class was so hyped about. He was also told by the quints' dad during the hospital trip that he is finally permitted to re-enter their luxury condo again, provided he does not do anything suspicious to them. However, one day on the way back home from the library, his stroke of bad luck decided to strike him again…


"Arghh! I took a bad time to leave the library premises to go home!" Fuutarou pants as he takes shelter underneath the apartment where the Nakano quintuplets were staying. His uniform was soaking wet and his bag was creased. "I'm so stubborn… I should've listened to Raiha and accept the umbrella from her." It was at this moment that two of the quints noticed their tutor trying to dry themselves and they were also running from the rain after coming back from shopping. Their school uniforms were also drenched but not to the extent of Fuutarou since he did not wear a blazer over his one.

"Fuutarou! Are you ok? Did you get wet as well?" Miku called out as she expended the last of her strength to run towards the entrance before collapsing to her knees and pant from exhaustion.

"Got caught in the rain as well, Uesugi-kun?" Itsuki asks as she does her best to keep a stack of groceries in her right arm dry whilst running over behind Miku, never mind the fact that she herself is also soaked.

"Itsuki! Miku!" Fuutarou gasps. "What are you doing out here? And don't you girls have umbrellas?"

"We *pant* were coming back *pant* from the supermarket *pant pant* after fetching *pant* some groceries." Miku pants as she regains her stamina and stands up, wringing her blouse of water in the process.

"Neither of us brought one out today." Itsuki says as she adjusts herself to accommodate her grocery bag. "We didn't expect such a sudden change in the weather either-" Her conversation was interrupted as a flash of light blinded the trio for three seconds before a man appeared out of the blue. Dressed in a white and black striped shirt, dark grey jeans, and a beanie, this man gave an ecstatic smile at the two quints and Fuutarou, all the while clutching a tiny dvd case in his left arm.

"Hello there! How are you three doing?" The man says as he gave a wide smile.

"Who the hell are you? What do you want from us?" Fuutarou yells as Itsuki and Miku get behind him.

"Who I am and what I want isn't as important as to why I'm here." The man says. Silence.

"Are you gonna tell us?" Miku questions as she steps in front of Fuutarou and pouts.

"Yes." The man responds. He then hands her the case. "Delivery."

"What's this?" she asks.

"That is Gotoubun No-Hanayome." The man answers. "A show starring you guys that exists in my dimension."

"A dimension? Wait… You came from another world?! How?!" Itsuki asks as she peers into the case's cover. "Gotoubun no Hanayome… What? I didn't order this… Wait… Is that… ME?!"

"Neither did I." Miku says. "Do you know what this is about, or how you were able to get here, sir?"

"I would explain it, but that'll take a while and I'm kinda in a rush. Anyway, what I do tell you is that it's a show of how your tutor got to know you girls from different views of all kind, particularly from his point of view. It may also unlock some questions that you three plus your sisters have in mind." The man explains.

"Why would you give us a show about that?" Fuutarou questions. "We know how this bundle of mess happened; we were all there biting at each other's heads."

"I know, but it's cool to see from the perspectives of other people." The man explains. "Plus like I said, this might answer some of your unanswered questions that you and your sister have been holding for a long time." This actually intrigued Miku but also made Itsuki and Fuutarou worried. "Welp, I've done my job, so I'm outta here. Break a leg y'all." And with that, the man had just disappeared, leaving the disc case as the only proof he was ever here.

"Break a… leg?" Miku questions as she suddenly sneezes. "ACHOO! He didn't mean it literally did he?" But her question goes unanswered as Itsuki and Fuutarou become distracted by the box art itself.

"This can't be a film that Ichika recently filmed or ordered right?" Fuutarou asks. Itsuki and Miku just shrug. "She's on the cover itself, that I get… Wait… why am I on there?"

"I could ask the same thing… ACHOO!" Miku grimaces as she stares at her lively self on the box cover.

"We're all on there as well! Including you, Uesugi-kun! That I don't get!" Itsuki cries out loud. "How did we manage to get into a film? We're not even fit to be actors and actresses here!"

Just then, a short static followed by a female voice can be heard from the outside speaker above the keypad.

"Itsuki-chan?" Ichika says through the speakers, causing the three of them to jump. "What's this movie you are discussing with Miku-chan and Fuutarou-kun? And did I hear that they're on the disc cover?"

"Wait… you heard everything from upstairs?!" Fuutarou yells

"Yeah duh! We were so worried that Miku and Itsuki were getting really wet so I called them to see if they were fine. Never thought that you'd get caught up in this, teach!" Ichika teases, causing Fuutarou to blush.

"Hey Uesugi-san!" Yotsuba shouts after that. "Are Miku and Itsuki down there with you? Come on up! Stay at our place until the rain dies down! Then we can sort our problems in the meanwhile."

"Thanks for the offer, Yotsuba." Fuutarou says as he stares at… himself on the box… in disgust. "But I had a long day like you girls. In fact I already have dinner at home. I'd rather much go back there and-"

"I heard that! No buts!" A rather harsh, tsundere voice echoes out loud that it pierced the tutor's ears. "Itsuki and Miku! Bring Fuu-kun up to our floor! I'll prepare some towels in the meanwhile. I want to see him in person after being separated for so long. And I won't take no for an answer!" And with that, the speaker stops playing, leaving the three drenched figures in silence.

"Wasn't that long. We met at the hospital a few weeks ago…" Fuutarou moans as the thunder claps in the distance. But he got no reply.

"Nino's probably going to kill us if we don't bring you up…" Miku groans but then she happily wraps her arms around Fuutarou's left arm. "Come on now. Let's dry up in there. It's no point going back to your home and catch a cold. Maybe we can find out what this video is all about. Itsuki? You coming? Or are you just going to let me hog Fuutarou until we get up there?"

Itsuki hesitantly wraps her free arm around Fuutarou's right arm before blushing about it. "Uhh, um yes. Hopefully this video would clear up some misunderstandings we've had in the past, r-r-right, Uesugi-kun? Not like I have any feelings for you…"

"Can't argue with that." Fuutarou says as they make their way up to the thirtieth floor via an elevator; taking the stairs would be a nightmare for both Fuutarou and Miku for sure.


"We're home" Itsuki calls out as she and Miku quickly unwrap their arms off Fuutarou's in embarrassment and relief respectively. "Hey don't cling on to me like that Uesugi-kun! It's embarrassing!"

"No one's around other than us three, Itsuki." Fuutarou mutters as the door opens. A pair of green bunny ribbons strapped on top of her orange hair peek out of the hole. And following that, the fourth quint's cheerful smile.

"Uesugi-san! Long-time no see! My gosh you got pretty drenched out there! Come on in!" Fuutarou was the last to enter. As he does so, a towel was wrapped behind his back before it covered his entire body. Fuutarou looks behind to find a quint with two butterfly ribbons attached to either side of her head.

"Look at you three! All drenched from the heavy downpour! And all because you didn't have raincoats or umbrellas…" Nino sourly chastises before her demeanour switched and she smiles. "Wrap up, Fuu-kun. I don't want you and the other two to catch a cold just from this awful mess. Oh. And have some curry too. I made just enough for everyone." She adds before heading back to the kitchen… but then stares at Miku inquisitively at the sight of her warm smile. "Miku, did you do something to Fuu-kun? Why are you smiling?"

"Oh! Nino. Umm… it's nothing." Miku feigns surprise as she reverts back to her emotionless self, causing Nino to become ever suspicious of her.

"It's fine. Thank you for the offer Nino, but I'm not that hungry." Fuutarou says. Itsuki meanwhile takes a gigantic mountain of rice before garnishing it, causing Nino and Miku to pull her away before she hogs the food all to herself. "By the way, do you and Yotsuba know where-"

"I'm over here, Fuutarou-kun," Ichika says as she waves to him from upstairs before coming down. "Hey teach. Haven't seen you in a while. How's all the studying going huh?"

"Ichika," Fuutarou begins before he clears his throat. "We just received a free movie disc from some random person we met. Did you order something like this?" He show Ichika the case, causing her to panic a little. Yotsuba and Nino hear this and approach the two to take a peek.

"I-I-I don't recall buying anything like this." Ichika mutters. "In fact, why are me and my sisters on the box art?"

"It's like someone was recording us all this while during our lives! That's just creepy as hell!" Nino exclaims.

"Well to be fair, the man said he teleported from some other place that's different to our world." Fuutarou says.

"WHAT?! He can teleport?!" The three sisters exclaimed in unison. "Where is he?!"

"He's gone, but he also said that this video can tell what we have gone through via different perspectives other than our own. It's like breaking the 4th wall in certain cases."

"Pluh" Itsuki tries to speak whilst munching on her curry. "Ifh I remembhur he shaid dhere culd bhe-"

"Itsuki. Don't talk with your mouthful." Miku interrupts. "Picking up from where she left off though, the man said the video may answer some questions we've been holding for a while. Like why did Fuutarou choose to be the tutor we know to this day."

"Or maybe answer what happened five years ago before everything we went through." Nino speculates. At that mention though, Yotsuba sweats a little and her ribbon droops. If what Miku and Nino said could show up on the TV, then her secret of meeting Fuutarou five years ago could be blown. How would Fuutarou react to this special meeting? And if he did, would she be able to take it? Would their friendship between teacher and student end here? Also, there were other moments that Yotsuba could recall that she wished they did not end up on there, like the time when Ichika played cards with him when they were young, or even the time where history repeated itself for Ichika on the Kyoto trip.

Ichika scratches her head. "I mean that was all the man gave you three right? It wouldn't hurt to at least watch it entirely. I mean, it could probably answer some of the hardships that we had to face along the way."

"I suppose." Fuutarou answers, staring at the rain-drenched balcony outside. "Should we all watch it together? I mean I won't be going anywhere anytime soon."

Miku shivers a little. "Just warning everyone: There were things that all of us have done that we would rather forget that may show up on screen. If anything like that comes up, please be reasonable with one another ok? I don't want the bond with us sisters…" She pauses and looks at a confused Fuutarou "… And Fuutarou to go spiralling downhill like what happened on the Kyoto trip. Are we still okay to watch as a bundle with Fuutarou?"

Yotsuba nods and her ribbons twitched as she pumps her fist into the air. "Of course. Everyone! Gather round. We're going to watch the movie we all somehow star in! The five of us, plus Uesugi-san are in this together!"


Several minutes later, the quints and Fuutarou align themselves on the couch after the cd was put inside the tv. Sitting from left to right: Ichika, Yotsuba, Fuutarou, Nino, Miku, Itsuki. Though, there was a small problem…

"Back off Nino! I want to sit next to Fuutarou! Get lost and sit on the other side!" Miku growls as she attempts to push Nino away from Fuutarou.

"It's obvious he'll prefer to sit next to me and Yotsuba! Stop crying about it, Miku!" Nino backlashes as she hold her own ground against her sister.

"Ughhh… If you two are going to fight to sit next to me, I may as well sit on the far side away from both of you," Fuutarou groans as he shifts away from both and closer to Yotsuba, who blushes unnoticeably. The two quints gasp in shock before glaring at each other as a result.

"Why doesh no one want to sit nexth tho meh?" Itsuki complains with her mouth (still) full as she takes her curry with her to the couch.

"Everyone ready?" Fuutarou asks as he grabs the remote.

"Definitely!" Yotsuba replies as she raises her fist in the air and accidentally punches Fuutarou in the face ("OW!"). "Ahh! I'm sorry!"

"Take it away, teach!" Ichika replies cheerfully.

"Alright. Here goes…" Fuutarou says as he presses the play button and rubs his right cheek.


*Church Bells rang as a red-haired bride is shown holding flowers in front of her and Fuutarou himself is sleeping in his dressing room* Fuutarou: I was having a dream

"Ooh what dream? Can you tell us more Uesugi-san?" Yotsuba shrieks, already giddy from the introduction.

"Calm down Yotsuba! The movie hasn't even started!" Nino groans from the other side.

Please wake up now sir. You bride is ready and waiting for you. *Fuutarou wakes up and smiles*

"YOU'RE MARRIED?!" Miku and Yotsuba screamed in excitement.

Itsuki wanted to scream too but with all of the curry she's inhaling she couldn't. But who is it?! Who did Uesugi-kun marry?! She thinks in her head.

Ichika and Nino also felt very giddy about what might come up next in the movie. The former pumping her fists slightly as the bride appeared and adjusts herself several times on the couch whilst the latter positioned herself even closer to Fuutarou, who was slumped between her and Yotsuba. Miku kept her headphones on during this scene, though she still paid close attention to the bride and Fuutarou. Yotsuba however, tensed a little and caught a glance at her tutor. If what Fuutarou and Miku said was true and that secrets might be uncovered, she fears that her biggest one, the one that she had been keeping to herself, may be revealed right in front of her sisters and Fuutarou himself. Moreso she was worried about how they would react when they find out about the secret. Itsuki meanwhile… She's just being Eatsuki, hastily munching on a mountain of rice and katsu curry as the show unfolds.

A dream about the incredible day that brought us together.

Is that… Is he dreaming about… marrying… the five of us?! The quints think in unison.

No way! Yotsuba continues in her thoughts. Uesugi-san… the bride… one of us… gonna be… married?!

*Shows the bride positioned in front of five, separate mirrors, possibly the other quints, before cutting back to the present.*

Fuutarou: One barbecue combo. And hold the barbecue.

"What?! Seriously Fuu-kun?!" Nino gasps as her sky blue eyes widened and her mouth drops at that plain, sullen face alongside that order. "Why leave out the meat? Does the yakiniku taste awful or something?"

"The beef is the best part of the meal! Wait… were you on a diet?" Miku follows up, embarrassing the tutor a little. It felt like déjà vu to the latter since the former already said it when they first met.

"I've got no problems about it, either. Or is it because your taste buds are broken, Uesugi-kun?" Itsuki comments before going back to munching on her curry.

"I forgot to tell you girls but, back then my family had a massive debt. I had to save as much money as I can to support my family so that we could survive on our own. I didn't leave out the meat because I hated it or because I couldn't taste it. And no, I wasn't on a diet." Fuutarou replies, already expecting a reaction from them. All they did was give him the "Is that so" look before returning their attention to the screen. No response? Huh. I'm fine with that. He thinks as the movie continues.

Fuutarou: You'd think the cheapest thing on the cafeteria menu would be rice, but it's not. You save 200 yen if you skip the beef in the beef combo.

"…And miss out on the delicious flavour that it gives, not that I'm making fun of you." Miku concludes with a tiny smile on her face.

"Miku, did you not here what I said about why I left it out?!" Fuutarou chastises her with a sullen tone, but she appears to not take any notice.

Fuutarou: It's rice, soup and veggies for the same cost as just rice. And the water is free. I love this place! *Fuutarou picks up his lunch tray as the scene cuts to Itsuki, who is seen in her Kurobara uniform.*

"Oh Itsuki! You're on TV!" Yotsuba exclaims as the youngest quint coughs and nearly chokes on her curry in response to seeing herself onscreen.

"What the hell! Was someone stalking me and Uesugi-kun or something? Who even was able to record something like this?!" Neither Fuutarou nor her big sisters had an answer. Not even Ichika, who was used to having herself being shown on tv since she's an actress herself.

*Meanwhile Fuutarou was walking towards a table alone.*

Student 1: Eating alone as always!

Student 2: What a loser!

"Did you always sit by yourself all the time, Fuutarou? Why didn't you feel lonely?" Miku asks with a worried tone and expression as she turns to him and hold her right hand near her mouth.

"I never made any friends in second year. I could hear them calling me names, thinking I was an outcast and a studyholic." He straightens up. "I'll admit there were some days where I wished I could study with a couple of classmates and ask them if they could help me with my financial needs but I felt like they would just tease me more if I told them. So I just kept that to myself."

"Well fear not, Uesugi-san! From this point onwards we quintuplet will make sure you'll never be alone or having any doubts about yourself! We'll always support you with everything we've got!" Yotsuba pipes up. The other quints nod in agreement.

"Yes, yes, I get it. Thank you, Yotsuba." Fuutarou replies slightly irritated at what he heard, but also a little relieved that they want to watch his back after everything he did for them.

*The next scene involves Fuutarou placing his food on an empty table. Coincidentally, Itsuki found the same table as he did. The next thing they both know as they stare at each other is that their trays are on the same table.*

"Oh I know this scene…" Fuutarou groans, already prepared for the mistake that started this entire spiral of chaos. This is where I make fun of Itsuki and get into a rough start with her and her sisters ain't it?

"What is it? Can you tell us more? Did you end up with Itsuki-chan and went on a short date around the school afterwards? Or did you do something even naughtier?" Ichika teases as she flickers her eyes at her cringing tutor.

"Of course we didn't!" At this point Itsuki angrily munches down on her next mouthful and snaps, her face nearly matching the colour of her sweater as she recalls what happened on that day at Asahiyama. "We just met at that time! There was no way I'd end up in something like what you said, Ichika! He didn't offer to show me around the school either. Though…"

"Though what?" Nino asks as Itsuki sinks down into the couch and chooses to let the video answer itself.

Female Student: Hey who's that girl?

Male Student 1: She's sitting with Uesugi?

Male Student 2: No one does that!

*Fuutarou just stares at Itsuki as the two of them contemplate on what to do next*

That's not our uniform… Fuutarou says before glancing somewhere else. Wait how did this happen?

*Flashbacks to earlier when the two of them placed their trays down at the same time.*

*Itsuki gives Fuutarou a hostile glare.* I found this spot before you did. The next table is wide open! *She points to the next table.* I think you should move!

Fuutarou: This is the table I sit at every day. Why don't you move?

*Fuutarou lashes back as Itsuki pouts.*

"Couldn't you two get along back then? It's not the end of the world if you two sat together." Nino remarks.

"Ara ara! Itsuki-chan fighting with Fuutarou-kun? Over a table? Now you've got Onee-san's attention!" Ichika teases. Fuutarou rolls his eyes at Ichika's statement.

Itsuki meanwhile turns even redder at what Ichika says and gives her the same glare that she gave on screen. "Well I didn't know him well back then, ok? I thought he was just a selfish jerk at that time and was another person pushing me down. I didn't mean to repel him in such a mean manner."

"Well whatever it is, it's over. We've moved on from this a while ago. There's nothing we can do to change this." Fuutarou says. Little did he know that his past was going to further haunt him again when it shows up.

*Cuts back to the present where it shows Fuutarou's eyes.*

Female Student: Look he's eating lunch with a girl!

Male Student: Is she stupid?

Itsuki catches a nervous glance at Fuutarou who attempts to avoid hers before facing the tv again.

Seriously? *Fuutarou growls as he looks at Itsuki… who is blushing. He looks shocked and a bit disgusted as he does so.* She's all… red? You could've switched seats.

Why did it have to show this? Itsuki thinks as her faces continues to glow neon red in embarrassment.

*Fuutarou's eyes then go into a state of shock as he analyses what Itsuki bought at the cafeteria.* 250 for udon… 2 shrimp tempura would be 300, the other varieties of tempura cost a hundred yen each. Add the pudding and that's… *The screen then shows 1030 yen before it shows Fuutarou looking like he just watched a horror movie.* WHO JUST DROPS A THOUSAND YEN ON LUNCH?!

Ichika and Yotsuba couldn't help but laugh at Fuutarou's silly face as well as his disbelief in real life. Itsuki chuckles a little too but tries to hide it behind her hands since it's not covering up her embarrassment. Nino gags and tries to hold hers in whilst Miku's expression doesn't change.

"Were you not used to the average prices that were up at the school canteen?" Ichika asks Fuutarou.

"Of course not. These days I never spend over 800 yen on food, stationery and textbooks." Fuutarou replies back.

"Well I knew someone who spent about 3000 yen on lunch outside of school." Miku says, glancing at Itsuki again as she chomps down on her second dose of curry to hide her blush.

"What?!" Fuutarou yelps. "3000- You girls… or your friends… or even Itsuki… I don't want to know. And I-I-I-I don't want to elaborate on this any further. Back to the video."

Well, you do you, Fuutarou says as he pulls out his study cards.

*Itsuki then claps her hands together.*

Itsuki: Time to eat.

*Before she can even start though, she glances at Fuutarou studying while she eats and decides to give him some of her remarks.*

Itsuki: That's a little rude, don't you think? You're studying in the middle of lunch.

Fuutarou: I'm reviewing my exam. Leave me alone.

Itsuki: Wow. You must've gotten a pretty rotten grade, huh? Can I take a look

*She snatches Fuutarou's paper*

Fuutarou: Hey!

"Or so I thought…" Itsuki pouts, remembering what she saw on that paper.

"Ironic how you pointed out his rudeness and then you did something rude yourself…" Miku says.

"I only just wanted to look!" Itsuki defends herself.

"You could've at least waited for his answer before taking his paper." Nino backlashes, shooting the last of her sister's defences down as she slumps back defeated.

"Appreciated the fact that you stood up for me but that was low, Nino," Fuutarou replied. Nino gave him the 'what did you say' look before returning her attention to the TV.

Itsuki: Let's see Mr Fuutarou Uesugi. You scored… Ahh?! A… Hundred?! Is this real?!

"Yeah! That's our Uesugi-san!" Yotsuba cheers.

Yes it's real…Itsuki looks on, deflated.

*Fuutarou pretends to be embarrassed.*

Fuutarou: Oh no I'm so embarrassed!

*Cue Itsuki pouting.*

Itsuki: You wanted me to see it!

"No I didn't! You took it away from me before I could do anything!" Fuutarou yells as his face reddens even more.

Itsuki: I hate to admit it but I'm not good at school stuff. I envy you. *She clasps her hands and smiles.* You know, it must have been fate that brought us together!

"Brought us together, my ass." Itsuki grumbled.

"Yeah fate did bring you lovebirds together! Just not in the way you dreamt it to be, Itsuki-chan" Ichika chuckles before receiving a punch to the arm by the latter.

"More like brought not just you two, but us four as well! And I'm glad it did!" Yotsuba added.

Itsuki: Do you wanna help me study?

And this is where it all began I guess Nino, Miku and Fuutarou think as the embarrassment approaches right before their pained eyes. Itsuki meanwhile, couldn't take what was about to come and hides her face again.

*Fuutarou clasps his hands.*

Fuutarou: Well this has been great.

Itsuki: What? You're already done?! You didn't eat much. Are you sure you had enough?

Fuutarou and Itsuki claps their hands into their eyes, expecting the worst to come.

Itsuki: If you want more, I'd be happy to share mine!

"Say yes, me. Say yes! Please don't say what I think I'm going to say!" Fuutarou groans as he hides his blushing face underneath his hands as he embraces the inevitable mistake he made. Itsuki follows and whimpers.

What did Fuu-kun do to Itsuki that made her so hostile to him? Nino wonders.

Fuutarou: If anything you ordered way too much food. *Zooms in on his mouth* Don't get fat.

Itsuki: What the?! Hmph! I think you might the most insensitive person in my entire life! I'm not sharing anything with you!

Nino's jaw dropped as her mood turns sour. Ichika, Miku and Yotsuba meanwhile became shocked but then immediately braced themselves for the second quint to overreact and plug their fingers into their ears.

"Itsuki I-I'm sorry-" Before they knew it, Nino hooked Fuutarou in the face and was aggressively shaking Fuutarou like a ragdoll and bared her teeth at him as if she was preparing to give him a second right hook.

"WHAT THE HELL FUU-KUN!" She screams and lets out everything inside of her as the thunder claps behind the cast. Fuutarou turns to the others to cry for help only for them to give off sour looks and turn away. "ITSUKI WAS JUST TRYING TO BE NICE TO YOU FOR ONCE! AND YOU TURNED HER DOWN WITH THAT INSULT! NOW I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT! YOU… JUST WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!"

"I'm… sorry… about everything. And Itsuki…" Fuutarou weakly apologizes to her. He knew that if he didn't make that snide remark about her, his friendship with her could have improved from the start. And if that happened, the tutoring may have been smoother as well if it wasn't for the other quints with their poor performances either. But still, Fuutarou wished he could have changed this mistake so he didn't have to go through this mess. "I should have just accepted your offer to share your food. I only said that because, well, I thought if we spent time together we would eventually end up in a romantic relationship. I'm not good with these sort of things. Sorry for that."

"Nino, CALM DOWN! STOP OVERREACTING TO THIS PLEASE! It doesn't matter anymore. It's over, as Uesugi-kun said." Itsuki raised her voice a little as she removed her hands from her face and stops blushing. "And… now that you've explained yourself, apology accepted."

"Doesn't matter? Itsuki, you clearly heard that loser make that stupid comment about you! What if that keeps lingering in your head and ruins you inside out? What's going to happen to you?"

"I've moved on from that a long time ago, Nino. And besides, I believe Uesugi-kun. What he said five years ago wasn't intentional. I'm sure there were other things on his mind that made him say what he said. And besides… I'm not going to let that one incident become a burden to my life or Uesugi-kun's. You'll just need to deal with it as I have learnt the hard way." The others nod at Itsuki's wise statement. All Nino could do at this point was give one last grimace at both her sister and tutor before releasing the latter out of her grasp. Fuutarou holds his tears and collapses onto his seat as he recovers from what he had watched.

Meanwhile the other three, seeing Nino release Fuutarou, thought it was over and moved their fingers out of their ears as the commotion settled.

Whatever happened with the being reasonable bit as Miku asked? Fuutarou complains in his brain.

"Shall we uh… keep watching?" Yotsuba asked as she hit the resume button. No one had the decency to answer.

*Fuutarou's phone rings at this point as Itsuki turns away in disgust. He hides in the bathroom as he receives a call from Raiha, his younger sister*

Fuutarou: The chance to pay off our debt?

Raiha: Yeah! Dad found a part-time job for you. A super rich family just moved here. They're looking to hire a tutor, what do you think?

"Oh my gosh it's Raiha-chan!" Yotsuba jumps out of her seat and flails her arms only for Nino and Ichika to jump up after her and drag her down again into her seat.

"Calm down, Yotsuba-chan." Ichika nervously chuckles. "That's just a TV show. Raiha's not there in person."

"I'm sorry. I got ahead of myself. Raiha's so cute though. Every time I hear her voice I just want to cuddle her!" Yotsuba squeals as she thinks of playing with Raiha again.

"You'll get you opportunity later. Just not now though, in this terrible weather. Besides, we're not going anywhere outside of Tokai right now." Fuutarou says, to which Yotsuba silently beams.

Fuutarou: A tutor huh?

Raiha: You would get to work in a nice, fancy house and it pays five times the going rate.

Fuutarou goes into a state of panic as the next scene shows Raiha inside their home. It's pretty clear that judging by the lack of facilities inside there, Fuutarou was… Oh wait. Now he realized. His face instantly turns bright red.

"W-w-wait, this isn't what you girls think! This is only part of my large home and all that!" Fuutarou waves his hands trying to avoid the fact that he's in a serious debt. He never wanted to reveal to the quints, minus Itsuki, that he's poor and his house is not as luxurious as the quints themselves. But unfortunately, the beans have been spilt. Fuutarou braced for the taunting that he was about to receive, especially from Ichika and Nino. But instead… he got a variety of different reactions.

Itsuki just glanced at the state of the apartment she stayed in once but just gives him a slight smile and closes her eyes. Yotsuba was too distracted about Raiha but just managed to catch a glimpse of what life was like in Fuutarou's home. It reminded her of the apartment she stayed in before she moved into this luxurious one. Ichika, Nino and Miku however, gave off a gasp each.

"So… that's your… home?" Ichika asks, speechless.

"Why didn't you tell us about your debt sooner, Fuu-kun? We could've all helped you with that!" Nino adds with a shock on her face.

"No wonder why you were so desperate to tutor us. It's to try and pay off your hardships ain't it?" Miku concludes.

"Wait… so you're not… making… fun of my home? Or the fact that I'm in debt?" Fuutarou asks as his face still retains that shade of red.

"Of course not. We would never make fun of you after what you did to help us." Miku insisted. "In fact, before we moved here, the five of us lived a similar life to what you are living now."

"Our family struggled as much as yours did, Uesugi-san" Yotsuba adds as she snaps out of her trance. "Before mom passed away, she did everything she could to help us on our ten feet. And the previous one we lived in was like your home, if not similar. Come to think about it, none of us have visited your house yet have we Uesugi-san? Now I want to head there even if it looks dull one day! Just for Raiha-chan!"

"Next time, we should all visit Fuutarou-kun's house and help out a bit. Even if there isn't much in there, we could at least help his family out." Ichika suggests.

"Sounds good to me. I'll make sure to bring ingredients and teach Raiha some new recipes." Nino perks up and grins at Fuutarou. "And maybe I'll get to see Fuu-kun's handsome father again."

"Likewise. I'll bring my speaker so we listen to music and some card games to entertain ourselves over there." Miku says as she puts on her headphones again.

"Uhh, thanks… I guess?" Fuutarou questions, not knowing how to deal with the praise.

Itsuki chuckles as she contemplates on seeing Fuutarou's tiny home again. "We'll always be by your side Uesugi-kun, up until the very end."

Fuutarou: Eh sounds like a sketchy deal to be honest.

Raiha: Well selling a kidney is sketchy too but you only need one to live.

Fuutarou as he has a heart attack: Uhh, what are you suggesting?!

"Damn I never knew Raiha-chan could be so savage!" Yotsuba cries out. Itsuki and Nino gave off a smug grin each.

Raiha: It's a joke. But if you did do it, then you'll be able to afford some actual meals. It's worth a try.

"Not like the yakiniku-less yakiniku meal you had earlier…" Itsuki remarks.

"Give me a break I was just saving money!" Fuutarou groans.

Fuutarou: So do we know anything about who I'm tutoring?

"Us five! Bingo!" Yotsuba yells out as she enthusiastically pumps her fist into the air.

Raiha: Hmm, high school age? In fact, I'm pretty sure he said you're going to be classmates. What was the name? Nakano?

*Fuutarou has another panic attack; Ditto IRL but thankfully no one notices.*

Itsuki: Itsuki Nakano. It's so nice to meet all of you.

Fuutarou: This chick again?!

"What? Did you really think it was someone else?" Nino grumbles.

"I didn't know it was Itsuki that I got until Raiha called. Thought it was some other rich kid. It was then that I regretted what I said to her." Fuutarou said in a low voice. "If only I knew beforehand."

Male Student: Oh my gosh she's cute!

Female Student: Hey that's the Kurobara uniform isn't it?

Miku scowls when she hears the word Kurobara. She knew that that was the school that Yotsuba failed in as well as the source of other personal reasons she couldn't share with her sisters. They have no idea what we've been through back there…she pessimistically thinks.

Fuutarou: A rich transfer student?! Obviously it's her… *Droops his head to his desk as Itsuki walks past, pouting from what happened at lunch break.* Great. Just great.

*Skips to day 2 as the same boring meal comes up*

"Come to think about it, we've only seen Uesugi-san and Itsuki at the moment. when are we going to show up on the video?" Yotsuba asks.

"Who knows. We could appear anywhere in the movie at anytime. Kind of creepy when you think about it. You should know how this works, right Ichika?" Nino says as she passes the baton to her sister.

"Well I never get to operate backstage with all of the editing and sound effects but, I pretty sure they would cut out or add some frames of us if they'd get the chance." Ichika says.

Fuutarou: Yesterday didn't go too well, but if she rejects me again, then I'll lose the job of my lifetime! I have to get back to her good side. *Cuts to Fuutarou fantasizing about Itsuki*

"Alright what were you thinking to convince me Uesugi-kun… and why?" Itsuki grumbles as the scene plays.

Fuutarou: Hello again. Can I have the honour of dining with you today? And of course I'd be happy to help with you studies.

Itsuki: Wow!

"Haha! Shame it didn't work back then" Itsuki teases as she grins and sticks out her tongue at Fuutarou.

Fuutarou: It's fullproof- *Cuts back to the present where uh… Panic attack number 4 I guess as Itsuki sits with her sisters who all make their first appearance on screen.* She's eating with… friends?!

Itsuki: Hey sorry I'm late.

"Ah there we are!" Yotsuba smiles.

"Wait how come yours and Itsuki's faces are only ones we can see?" Miku pouts. Nino doesn't say anything yet.

This is when I come in isn't it? When Fuutarou-kun dropped his test. And this is where I act like the Onee-san that I am today. Ichika thinks as Itsuki just straight up rejects her soon-to-be-tutor. She still remembers that day clearly; the time where this meeting reminded her of the one moment, where she played cards with the same boy. Even to this day she still wonders about it, as that event and the prior one in Kyoto were the sources of her feelings for Fuutarou.

Itsuki: Oops it looks like we don't have any room for you.

*Fuutarou just walks off dejected. Just as he does so, he catches Ichika's attention and she follows him. A glimpse of Nino's face is shown before then.*

Ichika: Hey wait! Don't just leave! You're after Itsuki-chan aren't you?

Woah! That's a really close shot! Much closer than I thought I would be! Ichika thinks as she squirms in her seat a little. Though she's fine with this, there were times where had to film shoots that were just as uncomfortable as this one so she kind of know how it felt. Yotsuba meanwhile, also shifts uncomfortably in her seat, already waiting for her interaction with Fuutarou to pop out after Ichika is done. Like Ichika, she remembers this moment really well.

"I thought you'd be used to this by now. I mean, aren't you an actress?" Fuutarou asks.

"Yeah but it doesn't make it less intimidating!" Ichika panics a little.

"How come my face is the only one not shown?" Miku grumbles as she pouts even more.

"You'll get your chance later, Miku. I'm sure of it." Fuutarou replies.

"I'm surprised, Miku. I thought you didn't want yourself to be shown." Ichika comments.

"Usually Miku prefers to shy away from attention. Now why does she want to see herself on tv?" Yotsuba wonders out loud.

"Umm, I don't b-b-but…" Miku stammers. "If this video is supposed to recall our past flashbacks then… I want to see myself interacting with Fuutarou! I want to relive the happy memories that we made together on tv! That's why I wanted to be famous… at least for the time being!"

"Yeah you want to relieve your happy moments but what about ours?" Nino grumbles to her.

"You didn't even want to back then, remember?" Miku passive-aggressively told her.

"Excuse me Miku?! What was that?!" Nino backlashed. Nino reminded herself of that one happy memory which was unfortunately crushed before her eyes: Kintarou. How dare her sister had to say that to her face!

"Alright enough you two! Let's just watch the movie!" Fuutarou snaps as he removes his towel from his outfit, clearly having enough of this bickering.

Fuutarou: Uhh I'm not after her.

Ichika: Oh? So she is the one that you like! Ahaha! So what is it about her that you're attracted to? Let me guess… it's your serious side?

"Ichika! Why?!" Itsuki scowls as it's her turn to gush red in embarrassment and make all sorts of weird noises.

Ichika: I know! I'll go tell her to come over!

*She attempts to run back but then Fuutarou holds her arm.*

Fuutarou: No! I don't need anyone's help! My problems are mine to alone solve!

"And what if you couldn't solve them? Especially with the ones involving strength and agility? What would you do?" Miku asks with curiosity.

Fuutarou apparently… had no idea how to respond. Or at least… "Umm, Ok. I would usually call on my family if I ever need help with stuff but uhh… these days even they said to seek out others for assistance, which I didn't… I was just… arrogant back then. And selfish. Except when it comes towards my family uhh… of course."

Ichika: Wow that was so manly! *Slaps Fuutarou in the back* You know, for a nerd!

If not, stubborn as ever! Itsuki thinks.

Ichika: But if you ever need help you can just ask Ichika Onee-san! This is going to be fun!

Hold on big sis? We're the same year… aren't we? Fuutarou asks as Ichika walks off.

"Yep! You heard me well! It sure was a fun ride don't you think!" Ichika says before she slaps Fuutarou in the back like she did in the movie. "But I will still stick to my word. If you ever still need help with anything, ask me, Onee-san! I will gladly come to your aid whenever I can!"

"Yes thank you Ichika… Onee-san I guess…" Fuutarou says which causes her to smile to widen at the sound of 'Big Sis'. "Uhh… Did I say something weird?"

"Hey! Don't forget about us!" Nino pouts. "We're here to help too! Unlike before!"

Ichika's done. Now it's my turn to appear. I remember this well. This was when Uesugi-san dropped his test score and I returned it to him In fact... Yotsuba smiles at that thought... only to turn red after remembering her bold actions that day alongside something special: That she still remembers Fuutarou even after five years.

Fuutarou: This is no good *Slumps his head over his food* I'm supposed to meet that bratty girl as her tutor today after school…

Yotsuba: Uesugi-san.

Fuutarou: What now?

Yotsuba: Uesugi-san? UESUGI-SAN! *Fuutarou looks up to see Yotsuba smiling cheekily up close* Ahaha! You finally looked up!

"Yikes that was another close shot. Didn't know it would be that close! Only this time it was me!" Yotsuba jumps at that camera shot and turns slightly red. Meanwhile her heart was beating faster like a drum as she relieves that fateful day she met him again, much to the other four's amusement.

"Aww I thought you two were gonna kiss!" Ichika teases again, causing Yotsuba to flail her arms and Fuutarou to blush until his face was red like a boiling kettle.

"Ichika!" Fuutarou screams before Nino swiftly gags him with his own towel to prevent him from ranting on… much to her sister's amusement (again). Yotsuba's heart beats even faster at that statement.

"It's not like that! I just wanted to give him back his test! That's all!" Yotsuba screams as well. But Ichika knew. That Yotsuba remembered Fuutarou from the Kyoto trip. And she was delighted to see him again after all of these years. It's like the feelings had woken after spending five years in slumber since the Kyoto trip.

"You sure it wasn't because of something else, hmm?"

Fuutarou: Ahh who the heck you and… how do you know what my name is?

Because, you were… Yotsuba thinks. The boy we met Ichika thinks alongside her. Five years ago in Kyoto! The two of them concludes in their thoughts. The two of them became immersed deep in thought.

Yotsuba: Shi-shi-shi! (Yotsuba's signature laugh) Those are both excellent questions. *Her signature ribbon perks twice as she holds two papers, one in each hand* Did you lose an exam paper with a perfect score, or perhaps one with a zero score?

Fuutarou: You have my exam? But how?

Yotsuba: Well, it's a long story. Earlier…

*Flashbacks to when Fuutarou dropped his exam paper*

"See, Miku?" Fuutarou points to her looking at her phone on screen as Miku herself relaxes a little and removes his gag. "I told you right? You'll get your chance at some point in the movie."

Yotsuba: That happened. And then I noticed it! And now here we are!

"Gotta admit, but your eyesight is extremely sharp. Far sharper than anyone including mine" Fuutarou comments.

"Aww thank you Uesugi-san!" Yotsuba replies with a cheeky smile.

*Flashes to the present*

Yotsuba: So, which one is yours?

Fuutarou: This one? *Points to the paper on the right as he forms a giant sweat drop on his head*

Yotsuba: Wow! You're such an honest guy! I'll give you both as a reward!

"Who on earth would want a zero score exam paper?" Miku asks no-one in particular.

Fuutarou: That's ok. What idiot got a zero?

Everyone glares menacingly at Yotsuba as she scratches her head and gives off a forced laugh.

Yotsuba: You're looking right at her!

Fuutarou: And you're not even embarrassed?!

"I was embarrassed but I just didn't want to show it in front of Uesugi-san!" Yotsuba defends.

*Fuutarou leaves, only to find Yotsuba following him wherever he went*

"What so interesting about him back then that made you want to follow him around?" Miku asks inquisitively. Yotsuba didn't answer but she herself knows why.

Yotsuba: You know, when I first saw you, I thought you were nothing but a grumpy boring old loner. Now I know all that and you're a super genius! *See Fuutarou coming out of the toilet* That was quick.

*Next scene shows a pouting Yotsuba staring at a half-naked Fuutarou as he prepares for P.E*

"Whoa Yotsuba!" Itsuki exclaims in horror since the time she went silent from the previous flashback.

"I didn't know you acted so dirty back then!" Ichika exclaims. The latter meanwhile turns red like the youngest quint and Fuutarou previously.

"I-I-I-I only just wanted to hear Uesugi-san say thank you! That was also why I followed him as well, Miku! I d-d-didn't have those kind of thoughts in mind!" Yotsuba panics as she flails her arms yet again.

"Is that so?" Miku emotionlessly answers as she sips a can of matcha soda.

Fuutarou: Are you still following me?!

Yotsuba: Well yeah you haven't said thank you yet!

"See?!" Yotsuba shrieks.

Fuutarou: What?

Yotsuba: When someone picks up your stuff you thank them. You'd think a super genius wouldn't know something like that?

*Fuutarou hand her the zero score paper from earlier* Here I picked this up for you. Now we're even.

*Yotsuba smiles.*

Yotsuba: Yeah! Thanks so much for your help!

Fuutarou: Don't thank me for that!

Well I'm glad that's over… good thing that special secret hasn't been revealed yet Yotsuba thinks as she settles back down in between Ichika on her left and Fuutarou on his right.

As dumb as a rock she is, she's just as clueless as ever, Fuutarou thinks as the scene cuts to after school. Fuutarou has his face sticking out of one of those cardboard displays watching Itsuki, Miku and Nino. Ichika and Yotsuba snicker at how goofy he looks in the meanwhile.

Fuutarou: I don't know why I thought she'd walk home by herself…

"This is when I come in. To berate Fuutarou for 'stalking' us." Miku deadpans.

"Wait you were watching us while we had our backs turned towards you?!" Itsuki exclaims. "How did Nino and I not notice this earlier?!"

"Look I wasn't stalking you or anything, ok? Relax." Fuutarou says as Nino prepared to pummel him again before being stopped by Yotsuba. "I only just wanted to say sorry for that previous day. The only problem is I never had the confidence to walk up to you and say it personally since your sisters may have defended you. That's why I resorted to staying behind some cover until you're alone. So that this could have been resolved earlier. But instead…"

"About that…" Miku replies as she points to the tv.

Nino: Itsuki aren't you eating a lot?

"Hey what about me? This is my first actual line in the movie ain't it?" Nino grumbles as she cools down.

Itsuki: It's not that much. This is only my second one!

*Chomps down on a bun until Nino grabs onto her stomach*

Nino: Look out it's the bun monster!

Itsuki: Oh! Get out of my face!

*The two of them run off, leaving Miku behind to do her thing*

Nino: You're gonna scare the boys away!

Itsuki: Mind your own business!

"There you go Itsuki, there's your answer…" Fuutarou replies to Itsuki who turns red again.

"Why did they have to capture that?!" She screams out loud as she nearly drops her plate.

"Oh yeah… The good times." Nino remarks as she gives Itsuki a smug grin. Itsuki only scowls back in complete and utter embarrassment.

"Well, here I go." Miku joyfully anticipates herself talking to Fuutarou for the first time.

Fuutarou: Sigh… When am I gonna apologize?

"After we have this mini talk of course!" Miku grins, suddenly enthusiastic about what's about to come.

"See Itsuki? I had no per- *AHEM* those kind of intentions whatsoever." Fuutarou says to the once-blushing quint.

"You were gonna say that word weren't you?" Itsuki bites back.

Miku: Is it fun being alone?

*Fuutarou notices Miku up close*

"There I am! It's me!" Miku points to the TV.

"Ara ara! You look so cute, Miku!" Ichika beams

"Yeah yeah we get it… don't get so worked up yet ok? What if an embarrassing scene involving you comes up?" Itsuki grumbles.

This is the most enthusiastic Miku I've ever seen since the 3rd year Kyoto trip! Fuutarou thinks.

Fuutarou: Uh It's not bad. It's my hobby.

Fuutarou facepalms so hard that the quints could hear the slap. "Why did I say that" he groans.

Miku: I see. Staring at girls is your hobby huh? *She pulls out her phone* Just a second...

"No It's not! It's a misunderstanding!" Fuutarou screams.

"Ok Fuutarou. It's done, like you said, ok? If it help I'm sorry if I misinterpreted you back then. I just couldn't read your thoughts." Miku interjects.

Fuutarou: Please don't call the cops on me. And please don't tell your friend Itsuki about this.

Miku laughs slightly. "Back then when Fuutarou didn't know we were five identical sisters…"

Miku: Fine I won't. Also, that girl is no way my friend.

*She runs off to find Itsuki and Nino ahead of her*

"I should note that you've really changed a lot since back then Miku. I still remembered the days you never had a smile on your cute face since we first met." Fuutarou says which causes Miku to blush. "Uhh again. Did I say-"

"Cute? Y-y-yes you did. Thank you. I-I-it's all because of you, Fuutarou. You helped me with my confidence!" Miku stammers at the compliment. Nino straight up rolls her eyes at this.

*The next scene cuts to the Nakano apartment.*

"I guess this means I'm last on the introductions." Nino says. "Come to think about it… What did I do back then-"

"You were the most hostile quint I've ever met." Fuutarou interrupts as he points to the screen.

Fuutarou: She lives here? How rich can one person be? But this is it. Or at least I think it is.

"Ohhhh… Now I remember. Heh heh. I only just wanted to protect my sisters that's all. That's why I was so defensive." Nino smugly grins as she prepared for her harshest attitude.

*Fuutarou approaches the entrance. Cue Nino placing her right leg on a signboard as she attempts to repel Fuutarou away from Itsuki, causing a gigantic metal-like crashing sound to be heard.*

"For a second it sounded like you destroyed the sign with your foot…" Fuutarou mutters to no one in particular.

Nino: What are you some kind of stalker? State you name and business or get lost!

Nino's smug grin gets even wider as Fuutarou struggles to take these hostile words on screen and in real life.

"I'm getting serious Déjà vu here…" He mutters under his breath.

"Oh yeah. Almost forgot that I still had long hair." Nino remarks, winking at Miku (the quint who she asked to cut her hair) as she stroked the back of her now short and flimsy hairstyle.

Fuutarou: It's nothing to do with you two.

Nino: I'll decide that. *She slowly walks up to Fuutarou* Listen, nobody likes you. *Cue Nino's death stare* So go home already scum!

Fuutarou and the two youngest quints jumped back when Nino widened her eyes.

"That was the creepiest face I've seen from Nino in so long!" Yotsuba gasps.

"Yikes don't scare me like that, Nino!" Itsuki hisses, to Nino who just couldn't hide her widest smug grin ever.

"What are you so afraid of, scaredy-cats? It's just a flashback!" Nino replies with a laugh.

Fuutarou: I'd love to, but this building IS my home.

Nino: Ahh- Really?! I'm sorry!

"I wished it was…" Fuutarou says pessimistically.

Miku: One barbecue beef combo hold the barbecue. Are you on a diet?

Nino: *Instant realisation* Huh?!

No he's not, apparently. He's just saving money for his family. Miku thinks. Though we didn't know that back then.

"Wait how did you know I ordered that?" Fuutarou grumbles already wishing that he didn't see this memory again.

"Itsuki told me at lunch." Miku replies back.

*Fuutarou bolts off in a panic on TV*

Nino: Hey you! I knew it!

Fuutarou: Found her! This is my last chance to fix it!

*Everything goes slow motion as Fuutarou barely misses the elevator as it closes*

Fuutarou: Gaah! Please don't close! *Elevator closes* So much for an apology… *Fuutarou then runs up the stairs* GAAAAAHHHHHH!

"You actually ran up all the way to the thirtieth floor Uesugi-San? I'm impressed! That's something that only Miku couldn't have accomplished!" Yotsuba smirks.

"Yeah but it drained the last of my stamina." Fuutarou says, not wanting to go through this again for a second time.

"Hey!" Miku yells as Ichika gives Yotsuba a high-five.

Fuutarou: This is all her fault! I shouldn't have to apologize for all of this crap! It's her fault that I'm tired and sweating from running. It's her fault that those weirdos keep harassing me! *The quints flash before his eyes as he makes it up to the last floor.* It's all… It's all her… fault *Pants and looks up at Itsuki who turns around*

"I'm sorry?! My fault, Uesugi-kun?! I'm in the wrong?! You're the one who started this!" Itsuki complains loudly as she growls at Fuutarou. Fuutarou just holds his head down.

Itsuki: Hey. You're that guy from school. What could be so important that you followed me all the way home?

Fuutarou: About yesterday…

Itsuki: Huh? Yesterday? What are you even doing here anyway?

Fuutarou: Well I told, you I was uhh-

Itsuki: Never mind I don't care.

*Fuutarou grabs her arm*

Fuutarou: Wait listen to me!

Itsuki: No you listen! You're starting to get on my nerves! I have a meeting with my tutor in a few minutes so if you could please leave already-

"Ara ara! You're looking right at him, Itsuki-chan!" Ichika smirks.

"I KNOW THAT ALREADY NOW SHUT THE HELL UP!" Itsuki explodes causing Miku and Nino to jump back a little.

"Geez… never knew that these 10 minutes would already ruin the mood here…" Nino remarks.

Fuutarou: That'd be me.

Itsuki: What?

Fuutarou: Your new tutor? It's me.

Itsuki: GAHHH!

Yotsuba had to hold herself back from bursting out laughing after watching that hilarious animation, otherwise she'd risk having Itsuki throw her plate into the former's face and deliver a serious head injury alongside that.

Itsuki: No way I refuse!

Fuutarou: I hate it too! Much more than you do! But, I'm still not gonna give up!

Now Ichika's hands are covered over her mouth, trying to hold back on the teasing after what happened earlier.

Fuutarou: Yesterday… I was totally in the wrong. And I'm sorry. *Places his hand on the wall* But that changes now! Starting today! I'm your partner!

"Uhh… partner? You don't mean… that kind of…?" Miku says with a shock on her face. Fuutarou instantly realizes his mistake and blushes. Itsuki does the same despite being furious.

Itsuki: This can't be right! *She slumps down before a flashlight is shown on her* It's not fair! Why does our tutor have to be you of all people?!

Fuutarou: Did you say 'our'?

All the quints minus Itsuki facepalm at Fuutarou's dense statement.

"Hey I didn't know it would be you four as well! And besides, we only just met!" Fuutarou berates the others.

Ichika: I can't believe that there was a creeper standing outside our condo! Scary!

Yotsuba: Woah!

*Fuutarou Panic Attack #5 as the quints all see him*

Fuutarou meanwhile just closes his eyes and plugs his ears, not wanting to listen to any of this mess anymore.

Ichika: Hey there Mr Honour Roll!

Nino: That's him he's the stalker!

Yotsuba: Uesugi-san's the stalker?

Miku: Don't assume things.

Fuutarou: Why are you all here?!

*Itsuki stands up*

Itsuki: Sigh, because, this is where we live! Obviously…

Fuutarou: Uhh… Uhh… Oh I see you share a fancy combo with all your girlfriends. *Switches to Fuutarou's mushed brain of some sort* My poor brain under heavy duress and overclocked past its manufacturer limit reached the only logical conclusion that it could possibly muster: A dream. This is definitely a dream!

Yotsuba and Ichika couldn't hold it anymore and just burst out laughing. Miku joined in as well but her laughs were a lot quieter. Nino and Itsuki stay quiet as they stare at their tutor who's soul became sapped of its life force entirely.

Itsuki: We're not friends! We're sisters. *Fuutarou gulps* In fact we're quintuplets!

"Oh how you wished it was teach!" Ichika exclaims. "It's a shame that once we met you realized it wasn't- Huh? FUUTAROU-KUN?!" She screams as she turns her head to find Fuutarou slumped over his legs and pluck his fingers into his ears, shocking Yotsuba in the process. "Itsuki-chan is he dead?"

"He's fine. He's just getting déjà vu here." Itsuki pouts. "Alright Uesugi-kun. You can stop that now. It's over, like you constantly said."

Fuutarou just peeks his eyes out before covering them with his legs. Damn it! He thinks. Who on earth had to record this crap! If I ever see that man again I'm going to toss that stupid box in his face and tell him to never come to our dimension ever again with something like this! What idiot had the nerve to actually record what was going on inside my head?! Thanks a lot… Now all the quints know all the embarrassing moments I've been through in the past!

*The next day…*

Fuutarou: My name is Fuutarou Uesugi and I'll be your tutor for today. Let's all make studying fun and uhh…?! WHAT THE HELL! WHY IS THERE NOBODY IN HERE?!

Yotsuba: Hey hey! Sorry I'm late!

*She slides over with a glass of water for Fuutarou*

Fuutarou: Oh! You're the one with the zero. Yotsuba? *She gives off a nervous smile.* Can you do me a quick favour and scowl at me?

Yotsuba scowls at Fuutarou right now. "Ugh! Yotsuba?! I meant in the video not right now!" Fuutarou screams, causing the latter to laugh at him.

"You really take things seriously huh, teach?" Ichika smirks.

Yotsuba: Uhh… What? Like This?

*Pouts and a comparison of her and Itsuki come up*

Fuutarou: Yep. You're related. So… why are you here?

Yotsuba: Obviously, it's time to start our first tutoring session where else will I be?!

Fuutarou glances nervously at Yotsuba who just smiles back. In a way he's thankful that due to her supportive and active that she became the foundations for his job as a tutor. If she wasn't so cooperative like her sister beforehand, Fuutarou may not have been given the chance to interact with her, let alone her sisters. More so, the problems he tackled alongside them, from family matters to exams and even the girl he met five years ago… If it went the wrong way, they may have still been unresolved to this day.

Fuutarou: Thank you… Yotsuba. Please, let me hug you.

"Here Uesugi-san!" Yotsuba says as she hugs her tutor and giggles, causing him to blush. Nino just directs a scowl a Yotsuba for that bold action.

"Uhh… Thanks? I guess?" Fuutarou asks not knowing what to say after the previous ten minutes of mental torture.

*Yotsuba forms a sweat drop on her head*

Yotsuba: Well, let's go and round up the other girls shall we? All of our bedrooms are side-by-side see. *From left to right:* Itsuki, me, that one's Miku, then Nino and Ichika's at the end!

"That was a very cute pout, not gonna lie…" Fuutarou mutters, causing Miku to pout again.

Fuutarou: Great. This is going to be such a pain.

Yotsuba: Oh no it'll be easy! Itsuki's a real serious student! She'll cooperate as long as you don't make her too angry! *Yotsuba knocks on Itsuki's door*

"A bit too serious for my taste." Fuutarou notes.

"Ironic seeing that you're the most serious in our class…" Itsuki grumbles.

Itsuki: Not a chance! What's the point of a tutor who's in the same class as I am! There has to be someone in the city better qualified than you are!

"Did that mean you wanted Takeda-kun to teach you then, Itsuki-chan?" Ichika asks.

"I didn't know who he was back then. If I did he probably would've taken this opportunity a lot faster than Uesugi-kun…" The latter squeaks as she shifts uncomfortably in her seat. "Though… if he did… would we still pass out exams? And how would our previous conflicts between each other have resolved if he was there?"

That gave everyone including Fuutarou some nervous thoughts. What if Takeda took over instead of Fuutarou himself? Back then the former and latter had a serious rivalry going on and the former nearly succeeded in taking over as the quint's tutor. Should he have taken over since the start, would Fuutarou have stayed the sullen self he was back then and never be able to develop his friendships? Would the problems the quints faced such as Itsuki and Nino leaving be resolved quicker or later? Would Nino herself have survived that one incident at the alpine school trip? There were so many questions that were bumbling over the cast, yet they chose to hold it in over many other things.

Fuutarou: What gives?! Yesterday you wanted me to help you!

Itsuki: Well I was wrong! *Slams the door and causes a minor earthquake* It's not happening!

Yotsuba: Eh heheh… With five of us there is bound to be one disagreement! Miku's the smartest down here! She'll come down! I'm sure you'll get along fine with her!

"Like that will ever happen…" Fuutarou groans again.

Miku: No! Honestly why does have to be you? That has to be someone better-

Fuutarou: Yep. Heard that already.

"Like Takeda-kun?" Ichika asks.

"I didn't know him back then either! Give me a break! None of us did! And besides, Takeda has an even worse attitude than Fuutarou when it comes to this!" Miku shouts.

Yotsuba: Umm, maybe we should move on? Nino can hit it off with anybody so you'll be fine. She's like a social butterfly! *No answer as Fuutarou rapidly pounds on the door* But… uhh… I guess she stepped down?

"Umm, pardon me Fuu-kun, but I was making cookies!" Nino interjects.

"Yeah I think we know that already…" He bites back.

"And you stole my sweater." Miku counters at Nino.

"Hey you're already wearing one back then so why put on a second?" Nino argues with her. And the two of them started bickering again.

"Again, stop it!" Fuutarou growls at the two.

*Fuutarou turns glum as Yotsuba panics*

Yotsuba: Uhh you don't need to worry though! We still gotta go see Ichika! She's really… *Awkward silence*

Not this again, please I've vowed not to go back inside her room but... Fuutarou thinks, already preparing for the massive hunk of mess that lays in the actress' room.

Ichika meanwhile looks on stunned. No way they'd film me naked under the covers! There is no way-

Fuutarou: What's with the pause?

Yotsuba: Don't freak out ok?

*Fuutarou freaks out anyway*

Fuutarou: It's like some kind of disaster area! An actual human lives in here?

Everyone just facepalms whilst Ichika could only look on embarrassed.

Ichika: Stop talking about my room like it's this disgusting wasteland full of toxic sludge! *Yawns*

"Please… don't tell me… what I think... is about to… happen?!" Ichika blushes as it's her turn to glow red.

Yotsuba: Ugh! This place is a wreck!

Ichika: Wow I wasn't expecting you to be our mysterious tutor. That's why you were after Itsuki-chan!

Fuutarou: Forget that. Come on now, let's go downstairs-

*Pulls Ichika's blanket*

Ichika: Woah that's a bad idea!

Fuutarou: UGH?!

Ichika: Heheh, I'm kind of naked here.

Fuutarou: Eh?! Why-?!

Nino, Miku and Itsuki's jaws dropped as the embarrassing scene unfolds. Ichika hides her face and makes a series of muffled squeals as she scowls at Fuutarou, who tries to avoid her glance… and the TV.

"Fuutarou- You-?!" Miku stammers as she's trying to regain her loss for words.

"Well I guess you know how I feel…" Itsuki mutters.

"WHO ON EARTH WOULD DARE TO RECORD SOMETHING INDECENT WITHOUT OUR CONSENT?!" Ichika screams as her voice resonates throughout the living room. She then heavily pants and reminds herself that she's not next to Fuutarou, otherwise she would be the one to pounce on him next. "Listen, teach." Ichika snarls from her seat as Yotsuba looks on mortified. "Now that we've all seen this, you better not tell your classmates about this, especially Takeda-kun and Maeda! Or else...!" She whips up her phone and reveals the picture of Fuutarou sleeping on her lap. Itsuki, Yotsuba, Miku and Nino instantly caught whiff of it but didn't dare to say anything yet.

"Please don't. It would only worsen this further…" Fuutarou mutters. "And besides, you had to look at me and Itsuki making a fool of ourselves. So consider us even."

"Yeah but was there any part we saw you or Itsuki-chan naked so far? This scene just made it even worse!" Ichika backlashes.

"Makes you wonder what the movie will show next…" Itsuki adds.

Ichika: Yotsuba, there should be some clothes near your feet somewhere…

Yotsuba: Uhh, let's see…

"Near her feet?! Ichika, what about the ones on your desk?! I see a heap of them around!" Nino yells.

Fuutarou: Good grief when was the last time you used this desk for studying?!

Ichika: Sigh, studying this studying that… I hope you're not always this concerned with your schoolwork when you're in a bedroom with a cute naked girl!

"Ok if you're gonna tease me, do it once you've actually changed, Tamako-" Fuutarou says as Ichika furiously throws a pillow at his face whilst reddening even more. "What? Consider this as payback for earlier!"

"Huh? Tamako? What are you getting at?" Itsuki asks.

Yotsuba: Here we go!

Fuutarou: Just get dressed and come to the living room when you're done… Honestly…

*Fuutarou walks out, only to come face to face with Miku again.*

Miku: What was your name again? Fuutarou? I have a question: It seems I'm missing part of my P.E Uniform. A red track jacket.

Fuutarou: That's too bad. I haven't seen it.

Miku: It was here before. Right up until you came in. *Fuutarou panic attack #6* Did you-

Fuutarou: No!

Nino: Hey! I made way too many cookies! Want some?

*Zooms in to show Miku's name on the sweater*

"Thanks a lot Nino for that unnecessary panic attack." Fuutarou mutters.

"Hey I didn't want to get my dress dirty!" Nino bites back.

"AT LEAST ASK MIKU FOR PERMISSION FIRST BEFORE YOU TAKE HER STUFF DAMN IT!" Fuutarou screams, silencing the second quint for once and making her back off from him a bit. The others just look on like slenderman is sitting right next to them. "Honestly I've never seen a day where all of you lived peacefully together with no arguments…"

"I k-k-know you were defending me but that w-w-was way too far Fuutarou." Miku answers, completely hurt by this.

"Seems like neither of us have ever moved on from this have we…?" Itsuki concludes.

Yikes. Haven't seen Uesugi-san this mad since the ski trip! Yotsuba shivers.

*Skips to Nighttime as uhh.. the chaos begins..?*

Fuutarou: But at least I got four of you here… Well! Time to hit the- Uhh-

Ichika: Ooh! It's yum! What is this?

Miku: Why are you wearing my track jacket?

Nino: I was baking and I didn't want to get my outfit dirty.

Miku: Take it off right now!

Nino: Hey let go of me!

Miku: Give it back!

Nino: You can have it later! Calm down! *Ichika yawns*

Yotsuba: Uesugi-san! Don't worry about me! I'm already studying hard! *Zooms in on her textbook to find… uh… a scratchy flower drawing on the top right of her book?*

Itsuki almost bursts out laughing from looking at Yotsuba's paper but manages to barely holds on. Seems that the atmosphere has just gotten worse since the show began.

Nino: It's Saturday we should go somewhere fun!

Ichika: Oh! Did I get a package? ("Not for this DVD for sure!" Ichika growls at this)

Fuutarou: They're hopeless! What am I supposed to do with them?!

Nino: You don't like cookies?

Fuutarou: Eh? No I'm just not in the mood.

"Oh wait… I remember this nice and clear…" Fuutarou realises as he furiously stares at Nino.

"Eh? What did I do this time?!" Nino says nervously. She's scared that if she hits Fuutarou again, he will actually fight back for real.

Nino: You don't have to be so nervous. It's not that I poisoned them you know! Have some and I'll study with you is that good?

Everyone now stares at Nino alongside Fuutarou, causing the second quint to shiver. "What?! What did I-" Miku points to the TV and scowls.

Nino: Wow! You're really scarfing them down! You like them?

Fuutarou: Yeah! They're awesome!

Nino: Oh! Thanks! Oh, there's something I need to tell you: None of us need a tutor so you should probably go away.

*Fuutarou panic attack IDK what number already he's got too many lol*

Nino: I was just kidding. Here have some water!

*Fuutarou drinks the water that Nino drugged*

"What? Ok I admit I was a gigantic jerk and tried to push Fuu-kun away, but I've changed, guys, c'mon! It's not like these days I will do anything to repel-"

"That's not what Fuutarou was so mad about, Nino." Miku growls even more.

Fuutarou: Uhh good idea. Thank you! Damn! I'm unsurprised that they're slacking off, but they need to graduate! For their sake, and mine! Uhh?

Nino: Bye-bye!

Fuutarou: Huh?

*Cuts to black as Fuutarou faints offscreen*

Meanwhile, everyone gave Nino their own death stares...

"You… drugged him?!" Miku snarls even louder.

"He was just trying to help! Now we should be saying sorry!" Ichika gasps.

"Eh? Did I.. I don't recall… doing tha-" Before Nino could finish, Yotsuba jumps up and tackles her to the floor, causing everyone else to panic. Itsuki, Fuutarou and Miku diod their best to get Yotsuba off Nino but she was way too strong and easily held her own against the three.

"YOU DID THAT TO UESUGI-SAN?! WHY NINO?!" Yotsuba screams as she shakes her sister aggressively like how Nino did with Fuutarou before throwing her back onto the couch and grabbing her by the collar. The others were shocked seeing that Yotsuba has gone into a full-blown rage for the first time. "UESUGI-SAN… HOW… HOW WOULD UESUGI-SAN FEEL BACK THEN WHEN YOU-"

"Yotsuba! Stop it! You weren't any better back then!" Fuutarou and Itsuki scream as they gets blown off the strongest quint's back in a vain attempt to save Nino. Nino does free herself though, already looking hurt by this, but strangely doesn't fight back. "It wasn't something that I couldn't control either!" Fuutarou continues. "I hate to admit it but Nino had every right to drug me back then and I was the motivator for her actions! I should own up for trying to get in the way of-"

"Fuu-kun, stop." Nino interjects as she starts crying. "I'm the one who should be… *sniff* saying sorry. I-I didn't know h-h-how much you were just trying to help us including… *sniff* You know what just get this through your thick skull and know that I said I'm sorry for being a jerk! Please! *sniff*" She burrows her head into her legs as she curls up into a ball and lets it all out, unable to process what she had done to him in the past.

"How many more minutes until the episode ends?" Fuutarou asks the quints.

"Should be ending soon. I really want to move on from this." Ichika replies back.

Taxi Driver: Sir? Pardon me. We've arrived sir.

*Fuutarou wakes up*

Fuutarou: Huh? HUH?! Wait, where-

Taxi Driver: What's wrong? This is your home.

Fuutarou: Well, it is. But how did I- AHHH! It was her!

Taxi Driver: 48 hundred yen please! (4800 yen)

Fuutarou: That much?! I don't have it-

Itsuki: Here you go.

Taxi Driver: Ahh! Thank you miss.

"Why were you with Fuutarou?" Miku says. "I thought you hated him back then."

"Well someone had to pay for poor old Uesugi-Kun!" Itsuki returns her answer.

Fuutarou: Huh?! Itsuki!

Itsuki: I got your address from your student handbook.

*She hands it over to Fuutarou*

Fuutarou: Did you look at the photo?

Itsuki: What are you talking about? Anyway, you can't win against us! You're a smart guy, so I hope you're bright enough to give up on tutoring us.

But Ichika and Yotsuba themselves knew. She had looked at his photo before and both of them were able to catch a glimpse of it before they went on the school Kyoto trip. Even at the mention of the word photo Nino looked up hoping to see young Fuutarou again as it reminded her of her supposed crush Kintarou. But held her head back down when it wasn't shown. Itsuki knew what Fuutarou meant but declined to comment about it. Miku meanwhile was confused at what he was mentioning about.

Fuutarou: Sorry but I can't.

Itsuki: Don't be stubborn!

*At this point Raiha shows up*

Raiha: Ahaha! You're back Onii-chan!

"RAIHA-CHAN!" Yotsuba screams with complete joy. At the mentioning of her, Nino's head perks up, hoping that Fuutarou's little sister will take her mind of her worries.

Fuutarou: Hey Raiha.

Raiha: I'm so glad you're home! Let's eat dinner together! Huh?

"She so excited to see you!" Ichika beams.

"I don't really spend much time with her or my dad. So whenever I come home to eat with them she takes my arrival like I've came back for a long-lost reunion. My presence alone means everything to her." Fuutarou says.

"You must have a very supportive sister." Nino remarks as she wipes away her last tears and glares not at Miku but to her right. "Unlike…"

"Why are you looking at me this time?! What did I do?!" Yotsuba shouts.

Raiha: Wow is she your new student?

*Pushes Fuutarou away to see Itsuki*

Fuutarou: She's nobody. Just go inside!

Raiha: Don't lie to me! Excuse me, miss, would you like to have dinner at our house?

"You actually went to Uesugi-san's house? No fair!" Yotsuba exclaims. Itsuki nods with a smug.

"No wonder why you were away for so long that day…" Miku mutters whilst sipping her matcha again.

Fuutarou: Raiha!

Raiha: But I do! *She looks at Itsuki and makes her cute face* You don't.. want to?

*Itsuki falls back, completely charmed by Raiha's face*

Every single quint has the same reaction as Itsuki on screen, including herself. Meanwhile Fuutarou just stares at them with a slight grin on his face. Whilst Raiha's cute act slightly annoyed him, it was arguably a thousand times better than watching the awful recaps that nearly shattered the bond between him and the sisters.

*Inside Fuutarou's home, Raiha has finished cooking curry for Itsuki, Fuutarou and Isanari, the latter and Raiha's dad. Everyone gathers round the small table.*

Raiha: Tada! It's the Uesugi special! Curry and rolled egg! I hope everything turned out ok!

Itsuki: It looks delicious!

Everyone nods in agreement with what Itsuki said... whilst the one invited has her mouth watering over the dish.

"Mmmm that curry and rolled egg looks so good! Now I really wished I travelled with you Itsuki-chan!" Ichika says.

"Same here! We need to plan to head to Fuu-kun's house, the five of us. Even if there's nothing to do other than interact with his dad and Raiha, we should help the three of them sometime! Plus. I want to teach Raiha some new recipes of my own along with Miku!" Nino agrees.

"Why wasn't I invited? I wanted to see Uesugi-san's house and Raiha!" Yotsuba pouts.

"You fell asleep as Itsuki left, remember?" Miku says.

"Did I?" Yotsuba asks.

Fuutarou: Sure you can stomach this commoner food, princess? *Itsuki glares at him as Raiha bonks Fuutarou on the head with a bowl.* Gaah! Hey!

Raiha: Geez!

Isanari: Hahahahaha! And that's why you'll never be as popular as your old man is!

Fuutarou: Dad!

Isanari: I gotta say I (Itsuki: Thanks for the food) didn't think I'd live to see the day you brought a girl home!

"Oh wow your dad is so dreamy! He's like the bad boy I pictured in my sleep! Say… why can't you be more like him Fuu-kun?" Nino couldn't help but gush at Fuutarou's dad at first sight. Fuutarou just rolls his eyes at Nino's dreamy look. At least she's recovered from that trauma a few minutes ago.

Ironically I was just like my dad before I met the girl in my own photo, Fuutarou thinks.

Raiha: So Onii-chan (Fuu: Huh?), how was your first day of tutoring?

*Fuutarou and Itsuki panic attack*

Not again, please, Fuutarou and Itsuki think.

Itsuki: Well actually-

Fuutarou: Of course everything went perfectly! ("It didn't", Fuutarou sighs)

Itsuki: Why'd you say that?!

Fuutarou: Just lie! Don't make her sad!

"Why's that?" Miku asked. "Lying is a bad thing to teach your sister, Fuutarou, though we do that all the time."

Fuutarou sighs at this. "Ever since I turned my attention to studying Raiha never got the chance to play or hang out with me." Fuutarou says as he straightens up. "Every night I can hear her cries of sorrow, asking me when I could play with her when I had the time. And there were also days she cried because I left alone at home for so long and never came back until after dark."

"Yeah but that doesn't mean you don't shelter her from reality. Sooner or later she would know what happened."

"Look, Raiha also gets mad whenever I fail to achieve something. She always depends on me to do well and help the family on our knees. Though Raiha's mental strength is far stronger than mine, there are days where she just needs to be happy. And I'm responsible for making those days come true. That's why I don't interact with other outside my family… because they weren't much of a priority as I thought they would be."

"Aww, that's so thoughtful of you, Big brother!" Ichika beams.

"You clearly got what it takes to be a true, caring sibling, I'll admit." Itsuki says, jealous of his brotherly nature.

"For someone who is considered the youngest, you're also not bad yourself too. Thanks Itsuki." Fuutarou says, causing her to blush for the right reasons.

Raiha: What's wrong?

Fuutarou: Uh?! Nothing!

Itsuki: Yeah! Everything's great!

"Not", all six of them said in unison.

Raiha: I'm so happy to hear that. Maybe now we can finally take care of all our debt!

Fuutarou: Not in front of the guest, Raiha!

"But now you all heard it anyways so uhh…" Fuutarou says irritated.

"So no matter what happens, we'll all support you and your family with everything we've got!" Yotsuba finished.

"The five of us, plus you and your family. We're all in this together!" The other four said in unison and interlocked their pinkies together, causing Fuutarou to smile a little as he joined in.

Raiha: Oh. Sorry.

*Itsuki looks a little glum. Maybe it's because her family was also in a similar situation back then.*

Itsuki: Thanks for the meal!

Isanari: Sure!

Itsuki: You too. It was lovely. Huh?

Raiha: Itsuki-san…

Itsuki: Yes?

Raiha: I know my Onii-chan is a stuck-up scumbag loser jerk and everything…

Fuutarou: Uh… Hey.

Raiha: But he's good in some ways.

"Can't argue with that, Raiha. Fuutarou has a good heart. He's just hard to get to know." Miku nods.

Raiha: What I want to say is… Will you come here again sometime?

Itsuki: Of course I will! Using my brain makes me super hungry! I'm looking forward to the next time!

"Wait till she sees all five of us coming to Fuu-kun's house!" Nino smirks.

"Ohh she'll be so excited!" Yotsuba gleefully smiles.

Itsuki: Don't get the wrong idea. I may know what your situation is like now, but I still can't help you.

Fuutarou: Is that so? *Card says "So many men, so many mind"*

Wonder what that phrase means… Yotsuba thinks.

Itsuki: I'll study hard whether you tutor me or not. I can accomplish my goals with or without you.

"Or at least I thought I could back in those days…" Itsuki murmurs.

Itsuki: It's your choice. So if you want to be our tutor, then you can go right ahead.

Fuutarou: What did you say?

Itsuki: What? I just said it's your choice.

Fuutarou: Wow! You really mean that? I can keep the job? Thank you Itsuki!

Itsuki: Umm… sure?

"Fuu-kun?" Nino pouts at the scene where he gets up close to Itsuki.

"No thoughts of that kind, promise. I was just excited that's all" Fuutarou says with a stern look.

"Plot twist: He was excited for another naughty reason!" Ichika teases yet again.

"I said no thoughts of that kind did you not hear me?!" Fuutarou yells.

Fuutarou: I'll be there tomorrow at noon sharp! Tell your sisters to be ready! That's right! My only job is to make sure that the five of them graduate. That doesn't mean I actually have to deal with all five and their quirks!

"Really?" Miku asks with a smug grin on her face.

"I was wrong. I had to deal with your stupid quirks in the end after all." Fuutarou says dejected.

"Forgot to mention but, whoever composed the soundtrack did an amazing job there! I really love the song playing right now!" Ichika says. Everyone else nods in agreement.

Fuutarou: I just need to teach the ones who are at risk of failing.

*Cuts back to the apartment where Miku has her proof of Yotsuba sleeping whilst the other three are awake; Nino is currently filing her nails.*

"See Yotsuba? You fell asleep!" Miku points, only to find Yotsuba asleep for real. "Ugh, never mind…"

Miku: Do you think… Fuutarou knows?

Ichika: I highly doubt he does. It's not like anybody would have told him that we transferred here because all five of us almost flunked out.

Yotsuba instantly wakes up at that and flails her arms. "NO WAIT! WHY DID IT HAVE TO SHOW THAT WE FLUNKED OUT?! WHY NOW WHEN UESUGI-SAN IS HERE?!"

"So you transferred schools because you all almost failed?" Fuutarou speculates. "No wonder why you girls were so desperate to hire a tutor like me. It's a good thing I helped all of you pass then."

"Well uhh you see, I was the only one who failed. Everyone else decided to 'cheat' and transfer with- UHH!" Yotsuba's ribbon perks up as she clasps her hands over her mouth after her utterly pathetic attempt to lie backfires instantly. The other quints facepalm at that failure.

"No matter. What's done is done. This has been put behind all of us. It's a good thing you five redeemed yourselves by now. You all should be proud of how much you have grown." Fuutarou smiles, warming everyone's hearts.

*Cuts back to the day of the wedding. The bride herself is speaking but nothing can be heard.*

"Huh? Is anyone speaking?" Itsuki asks. "Why are there subtitles if I can't hear anything?"

*The bride's mouth is shown but again, no sound*

"Weird. Her lips are moving but how come we can't hear her voice? Who even is that with Uesugi-san?" Yotsuba asks. Though she does have her own speculations on who it might be…

"Who knows." Nino says. Do you think it's one of us she wanted to say but then chooses to eat them last minute.

Fuutarou: Yeah you're right. All these years later, I still relive that moment in my dreams…

Everyone minus Fuutarou gasps at the bride's beautiful appearance.

So… pretty, they all think. Who is that girl honestly? If that's one of us... no wait it can't be... can it?

*Cuts back to the day where Fuutarou begins to teach the quints.*

Fuutarou: Or should I say… my nightmares.

*Episode Ends*

Itsuki out of nowhere: Quintuplet Trivia!

"What the? I don't recall saying that…" Itsuki murmurs.

Nino: Altogether we weigh about 250 kilograms.

"Neither do I…" Nino follows up, equally confused.

"Huh? Is that… A preview of the next episode?" Everyone wonders except Miku whose eyes bulged for a second at the first scene.

Itsuki: Hey that divides evenly by five! 50 kilograms each the average weight for a healthy young girl! Let's leave it at that!

Miku just turns red at the follow up scenes of herself. Why is it my turn to have the embarrassing scenes?! Now her optimistic attitude has faded from watching the scenes entirely.

"I warned you… right… Miku?" Was all Itsuki could manage before she passed out suddenly.

Yotsuba: Uhh but-

Itsuki: I SAID LEAVE IT AT THAT!

The other quints: Fine.

*Episode ends for real with Miku's face red.*


Everyone just sat there… in absolute silence. And this was only the first episode. Who knows what will come next.

"Well… that was… something?" Nino wonders out loud, hoping to break the awkward silence. "Kind of weird to have one part of our life stories flash in front of eyes don't you all thi-" She swivels her head in all directions and finds two things: Fuutarou and Itsuki fainted from embarrassment and Ichika asleep once again with Yotsuba trying to shake her awake. "Miku?" Nino asks as she makes a gesture and gives off a low growl. The latter sighs as she snaps out of her trance, follows Nino to the kitchen, fill up two cups of water and ironically dump one each on top of the two fainted characters' heads.

"GAHHH!" Itsuki and Fuutarou scream as they felt the chill get to their nerves.

"Nino! You-!" Itsuki stammers.

"What's the point of giving us towels if you're just going to make us wet again?!" Fuutarou yells.

"Is it over?" Ichika asks before she looks at the TV to find her answer. "Man that was super embarrassing, seeing myself naked on TV! Good thing no one else has a copy of this yet…"

"Can't believe they also had to star me in a very embarrassing way and you girls had to watch me suffer beforehand…" Fuutarou complains. "And I still wished they didn't show myself getting drugged…"

"Not like you had it any better. My role in that show was just as bad as yours, if not worse." Itsuki follows up as she dries herself and puts her plate into the sink.

"And this is only the first episode… Who knows what else will come up." Fuutarou grumbles. (A/N: Dude I just said that already Fuu! Excuse me!)

"So much for being 'famous'. No wonder why I see you in such a bad mood sometimes when you come back Ichika." Nino says as she sits back down and denies Miku of any hope of sitting next to Fuutarou… again.

"Shall we watch the next episode?" Ichika asks.

"I don't see why not. Besides we're not going to let one episode hold us back aren't we?" Itsuki says. Everyone shakes their head in response.

"Alright then. here we go" Ichika says before pressing the play button.


A/N: This is my first time writing a fanfiction like this. I know I can't satisfy everyone but I tried my best to match the reactions to each of the character's personalities (Such as Nino and Yotsuba's boastful natures and even Ichika's teasing). I hope they're seemingly ok to you guys. Also, I might have copied some things in the prologue from other stories, but other than that I have no intentions of stealing ideas. let me know what I can improve on in the upcoming episodes. Your constructive feedback would most help me a lot!
