"I would like to say no." The young man replied as Maruo sighed. He knew that it would be hard to hire him again as his daughters gave him a hard time with the job, especially Nino, who kicked him out on multiple occasions, drugged him and possibly sending him to the hospital when he was just trying to do what he had hired him for.

"I see... Then-" Maruo wanted to say but was cut off by Fuutarou.

"Is what I should say but how could I say that when my employer, who's usually busy, personally requested this? I'll do it as long as you keep your word with the pay!" He said as he laughed while the two shook their hands together.

"Thank you for giving my daughters another chance, Uesugi-kun." The man smiled softly.

"HAH! I told you my son would say yes! Now you better keep your word and treat me to a drink soon!" Isanari said as he laughed, throwing away his can of beer in the trash.

" I suppose I'll take you on that next week..." He said as he gave a smile at the blonde man who had a smile of his own.

Meanwhile, the two girls were sitting across eachother in silence with Aki scanning the butterfly ribboned girl.

"So you're the one who keeps troubling Fuutarou huh..."

"Hah? Why are you talking like you know what's happening between us? It's none of your business so buzz off."

"Ah so your crying earlier was all just an act? I wonder how he dealt with you for those months when he needed to tutor you because I'm getting sick of you already." Aki started to press Nino's buttons as a vein appeared on her head.

"You have no idea what happened between us, so shut your mouth." She said visibly irritated by what the blonde said. Aki just grinned at the girl which made her vein bigger that looks like it was about to burst.

"Oh but I do know~ He told me that he was trying to help you yet you drugged him. Don't you know that what you did was a crime to do that? Just be glad he didn't report you because if someone did that to me, no matter who it is, I will not let them see the light of day again." She said in a somewhat arrogant manner which made Nino look like she wanted to burst right now. "Oh don't forget what I just heard from all that acting earlier! Didn't you say that he saved your life? He saved you but you drugged and kicked him out of your home when he was just trying to help. Now you're coming here with your tail in between your legs asking for his help. How cute" Aki said while she grinned smugly at the redhead quint who was already about to burst if she said one more word.

"He was intruding our lives! That jerk even tried to find me when I ran away from his lousy tutoring!"

"Oh so not only did you drug him, kicked him out of your home multiple times, but also ran away when things weren't going your way? And now after apologizing, you're badmouthing him? Racking up those good qualities huh?" Aki said with a smug grin knowing that she was already winning.

"Oh now you've done it! You keep talking like you know it all but what could a random girl that I just met would know what happened! So shut the fuck up!" Nino snapped at the blonde girl who kept her grin.

"Oh well, you should just pray that you won't drive him away a second time. But if that happens, you can't come near him either because I will make him mine. Well I have to share him with my sisters but atleast he won't be stuck with a girl like you." She mockingly said with her eyes devoid of life like she was looking at some insect.

"Why you-!" She wanted to retort but stopped herself as she heard the door open.

"Let's go home Nino. Thank you for your hospitality Uesugi-kun and Isanari." Maruo gestured to her daughter who followed him out as he thanked the two Uesugi's before saying goodbye.

"Aki, let's go home now. I don't want the others and mom to be worried" Haruka told her sister who nodded with her eyes back to normal although still sending a glare to the redhead.

"Bye bye Haru-nee! Aki-nee!" Raiha said as she waved at the two blondes as they entered the cab they called beforehand.

"Hey Aki, did something happen between you and that redhead girl?" Haruka asked her sister.

"You could say I started a war..." she replied while Haruka just tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what her sister meant.

As there was only the Uesugi family left inside the home after seeing out their guest, Raiha immediately went to sleep after saying goodbye to the two blondes while Fuutarou cleaned and washed the dishes and Isanari placed the cake inside their fridge.

Preparing to go to bed, Fuutarou was brushing his teeth while his father just had a smirk on his face as he watched his son, which did not go unnoticed.

"What?" He asked the old man who just kept his smirk.

"You've been quite the player Fuutarou... First redheads and now blondes? All of them are sisters not to mention quintuplets! I wouldn't even be surprised if you manage to make another set fall in love with you!" He laughed but not so loudly as Raiha was already sleeping and so he wouldn't bother their neighbours.

"Hah? They don't harbor any feelings for me. Especially Nino, who I remind you, kicked me out and drugged me in the past."

"Well you never know~ She might just change if she spends more time with you." Isanari teased his son more who sighed and just went to his room to sleep as he also started to doze off on the couch... not without another can of beer of course.

The Nakano quintuplets were happy when they heard that Fuutarou has agreed to tutor them again, with the exception of Nino who never wanted to see him again and was still pissed from what Aki had said to her. 'What does that girl even know? She wasn't here when that idiot intruded into our lives...' she thought as she went to sleep.

Meanwhile the other Quints prepared themselves for Fuutarou who was going to tutor them tomorrow as it was also their first day of Christmas break. Ichika cleaned her room, Miku started to read more history books and Itsuki back to studying as usual. Except for Yotsuba who held a photo in her hand and whispered "I won't lose you again Fuutarou... I'll be selfish this time..." under her breath before going to sleep as well.

In a certain room in the Kawano household, Aki was still a little flustered from when she claimed that Fuutarou will belong to her and her sisters. 'What if he doesn't like us back? W-what if he heard what I said earlier? Why did I have to say that he'll be mine?!' she threw what it seemed to be a tantrum on her bed until she finally cooled down. 'Still... that girl was really mean to Fuutarou even when he was trying to help her... I'll talk to Rikka about this tommorow and make some plans to protect Fuutarou... No matter what, I won't surrender him to a girl like you unless he chooses to...'

A/N: A simple and short chapter~ Aki has started a war with Nino with her eyes on the prize. She will work hard to earn the boy's heart with her sisters of course. Yotsuba won't hold back anymore and will be selfish to claim her first love's heart. What will happen next? Find out in the next chapter! Laters~
