"I'm back...?" Fuutarou stopped mid sentence due to the sight of ten girls on a table, especially Nino and Aki, who were glaring so intensely at each other that he could even feel it from there.

"Right on time! Let's have dinner now since I'm starving!" Isanari said as he and the other two adults joined the group at the main table.

"So that's why you ordered this amount of food... I thought we counted Itsuki as ten people." He teased the ahoge girl who blushed and pouted from his words as he sat down beside Raiha and Yotsuba, who immediately slid to his side and hugged his arm.

"Look how close they are Maruo~ Isanari whispered as he nudges his shoulder.

"Well she does hold feelings for him like the others but she still hasn't fully realised it since how she's doing right now is similar to when I loved their mother." Maruo whispered back.

"I really can't tell if you're drink or not since we've been talking about these kind of things. I almost can't see any of that stoic personality of yours."

"Haha, I suppose the words your son told me made an impact on me. Emiko's daughters seem to be jealous." Maruo pointed out to the Kawano matriarch who just giggled.

"They got it from their dad."

'That girl is too close to him...' the blondes, except Yuki who was still having a conversation with Miku and Tsuyu who was looking at the food with stars in her eyes, thought as they watched not-at-all welcome sight of the bunny ribboned girl being affectionate to the young man.

Ichika and Itsuki were jealous as well, but decided to think nothing of it, since Itsuki was busy with the cookies Raiha baked. Plus, Ichika had a plan to have a headstart with him later that night. Unknowingly, Rikka had a similar plan as well.

The three families then said 'Itadakimasu!' as they started to eat.

"Fuutarou, say ahh~" Miku said in a affectionate manner as she tried to feed the young man cake, which he ate from her fork.

"Ah no fair, Miku! Here Fuutarou ahh~!" Yotsuba said as she immediately fed the young man but more affectionately like she was already his girlfriend.

"You should do it too..." Miku whispered to Yuki who was sitting beside her.

"But what if he doesn't take it?"

"Trust me." Miku said to give the final push to the blonde.

"F-Fuutarou ahh~" Yuki tried to mimic the redhead as she put her fork up to him.

Fuutarou then ate the piece of cake that was on the fork and he could've swore that he could've seen her face lit up as he took the bite. The others however, especially Yotsuba, pouted as they wanted to do it as well but was too far away from the young man. Even so, Yuki's sisters were proud for her since she was usually reserved.

The dinner went smoothly, more or less, with Isanari and Emiko teasing their children on what happened earlier, while Maruo just smiled.

After they finished eating, with Itsuki and Tsuyu satisfied with the food, Fuutarou washed the dishes and Raiha cleaned the table. The girls offered to help, but the siblings declined since it would be rude to make the guests clean.

"We're gonna catch up somewhere else so we won't ruin the mood here." Isanari said as he picked up his jacket, as did Emiko and Maruo as they left the bakery.

As the adults left the bakery, the group of teens then started to exchange gifts with Fuutarou handing out his first.

"It's nothing special but I hope you girls love it." He said as he handed each quint the gift he made for them.

Each quint then opened the package to see a pillow with their names sewed on it. The designs matched the color of each quint, with Ichika a yellow one decorated with flowers, Nino a purple with butterflies, Miku a blue one with little white triangles, Yotsuba a green one with flowers and Itsuki a red with stars decorated on its surface.

The kuints received the same thing as well, but instead of having the same design as the other pillows, the design for theirs corresponded to their names. Haruka had the cherry blossoms of spring, Aki had orange maple leaves for autumn, Yuki had snowflakes for the cold winter, Rikka with suns and ice cream for the summer feel and, lastly, Tsuyu's design had a rainy season vibe.

"Wait the names... You embroidered it yourself, didn't you, Uesugi-kun?" Itsuki said, as she felt the name that was sewed on the pillow.

"Yep, I want it to be special and, since I don't have that much money, I decided to use my skills I learned in home economics in middle school."

"Aww Onee-san loves your gift, Fuutarou-kun~" Ichika said as she hugged the pillow.

"I suppose the design is cute... Thanks Uesugi..."

"Thank you, Fuutarou..." The third quintuplet said as she hugged the pillow like her sister.

"I love it, Fuutarou!" Yotsuba said as she hugged the young man.

"It certainly is lovely, thank you, Uesugi-kun. I'll use this while studying." Itsuki said as she smiled with the pillow in hand.

"So how about you girls?" He asked as he turned to the blondes.

"It's tiring working at the store, so using these would help." Rikka said as the others nodded in agreement.

"We love it, Fuutarou." They said in unison as they smiled at the young man as he sent one back.

"Now you should see what we got for you!" Yotsuba said as she took out a neatly wrapped gift with a green ribbon on top. The others took out their gifts as well.

He then opened the gifts to see the contents inside. From Ichika, he received a ticket and a note that said that he could watch any of her future movies for free. Next was Nino, who gave him a complete outfit with jeans, a shirt and a jacket similar to the one she bought for him for the school trip. A Sengoku history book with a bookmark from Miku, a pair of black running shoes from Yotsuba and, lastly, from Itsuki, he received a lifetime all you can eat buffet ticket that lets you eat to your heart's content for free.

"You better watch Onee-san's movies, Fuutarou-kun~"

"You should wear something more fashionable sometimes."

"Let's study together, Fuutarou."

"Fuutarou! Let's jog together sometime!"

"Shall we eat together sometime, Uesugi-kun?"

Needless to say, the presents he received from the Nakano quintuplets made him extremely happy as a toothy grin appeared on his face as he thanked the girls.

Now it was time for the Kawano quintuplets' turn to give their gifts. Rikka was supposedly be the first one to give him his gift, but said that she'd be the last one since it'd be extra special. First up was Aki, who gave him some manga and light novels. Second was Haruka, who gave him a console and some games so they could play with each other in the future. Next was Tsuyu, who's gift was quite big... she gave him a traditional bow with some arrows, a uniform and gloves. Next up was Yuki, who gave him an extremely beautiful painting of her and her sisters, with Fuutarou in the middle.

"So that's why you came back empty-handed. Your gift is the best out of all ours." Aki commented as she admired her sister's painting, as the others did as well. Even Nakano's admired and admitted that the painting was a good gift.

"Now it's time for your gift, Rikka. I'm curious about what you got for him." Aki said as she and her sisters turned their attention to Rikka, who approached Fuutarou and pulled up a plant from her bag and put it over their heads.

"Huh? What's the plant for?" He asked in confusion as the others' eyes widened, with Raiha covering her eyes and blushing as they knew what that plant meant.

"This~" she said playfully before she closed the distance between them and planted her lips on his, making him blush.

"Hope you like my gift, Fuutarou~"
