"Hope you like my gift, Fuutarou~" Rikka said playfully as she separated her lips from his.
Fuutarou stood there speechless with his face as red as a tomato as he tried to process what just happened.
The others who watched the scene happen had various emotions on their faces. Haruka, Tsuyu, and Yuki were blushing from what their sister did so openly, even in front of
other people while Aki gritted her teeth in jealousy.
The Quints as well had the same expression, even Nino who had twitched from the scene as she even wondered what a kiss tastes like. Although, Yotsuba had a different expression. Her face darkened as well as her ribbons and air suddenly became cold around her.
-Flashback-
"Fuutarou-kun, how about we make a promise?"
"A promise?"
"Yes, we'll promise to each other to become top students, get a nice job to help our families and to meet again in the future!"
"Alright! Then let's do our best, Rena!" The blonde boy replied with a smile.
-End of flashback-
'I failed to keep our promise and almost lost you once, Fuutarou... This time I'll be honest so I won't lose you again!' The bunny ribboned thought as she marched towards the dazed young man.
"Hey Fuutarou!" Yotsuba shouted to get the attention of the young man, which worked as he snapped out of his daze and looked at the bunny ribboned girl.
"Y-yes, Yotsu- mhmf?!" He was stopped mid sentence from Yotsuba's sudden kiss on his
lips. All of the blonde's eyes widened as well as the quints since they didn't expect Yotsuba
to be so daring and aggressive.
"Oh? Not bad~" Rikka commented at the redhead.
"T-this is also my Christmas gift for you, F-Fuutarou!" The bunny ribboned quint said as she detached her lips from his. From her face, you could tell that she was extremely flustered by what she did as her face was extremely red.
'You won't be the only one with a head start, Yotsuba!' Ichika thought as she immediately
approached the two and landed a quick peck on Fuutarou's lips.
"Did you like Onee-san's first kiss as a second Christmas gift, Fuutarou-kun?" She said confidently despite being as red as her hair like her sisters who watched the scene.
"What just happened?..." Miku asked Yuki who was sitting beside her who hesitated for a moment before replying.
"W-well we like Fuutarou too... he's really nice and really helpful..." She whispered to the redhead.
"To tell you the truth... We also like him, I don't know for Nino but at least she's slowly
warming up to him. I like him because he has this warmth that fills other people's hearts
without him knowing."
"That's him alright." She said as she giggled, "But he has to choose only one, right?"
"Sengoku Warlords have their own concubines, right? What's wrong with another one in modern times like today?"
"You're right... If he can't choose then let's all just marry him!" Aki said as she joined the
two's conversation, agreeing to what Miku had said.
"But who should be the legal wife?..." Itsuki said as she munched on the cookies Raiha
baked, as Miku looked at her with a face of shock. She didn't expect her sister to say that
since she was always studying.
"Let's just all be his wives!" Aki said as she put on a confident pose as her sisters nodded.
"You guys are being ridiculous! You'd be crazy to marry a guy like him!" Nino said while
being haughty, which caused Aki to grin.
"Oh my~ Back to your arrogant way of talking~ Also we're perfectly sane and we do love him, right girls?" Aki said with her sisters and Miku who nodded while Itsuki meekly nodded as well.
"He's just a-" she was cut off by the intense glare from Yotsuba who detached herself from the dazed Fuutarou's arm.
"Slander him again. I dare you." She said with a menacing aura and her ribbons dyed black,
her fist curled in anger. Nino started to shake from the fear she felt when being confronted by Yotsuba, as well as the others while Aki and Rikka became intrigued at her sudden change.
Nino was now behind the man who she hated, cowering in fear as Yotsuba started to walk
towards her with Miku and Itsuki trying to hold her back.
"Yotsuba, please stop!" She pleaded to her sister as she and Miku tried to stop her, to which she just ignored them and just continued to approach the cowering Nino who was hiding behind Fuutarou, gripping his shirt tightly in fear of what her sister would do.
Snapping out of his daze, Fuutarou stood in front of the bunny ribboned girl, "Yotsuba, please don't fight, it's Christmas!" he intervened between the fight of the two before it could get out of hand.
"But she keeps insulting you, Fuutarou! I bet she didn't even apologise when she and dad
went to your place!"
"She already apologised! You guys are sisters so please stop!" He said as he spread his
arms to protect the cowering redhead behind him who gripped his shirt tighter.
"But!-" She hesitated a bit before backing off and sat down back on the table, clearly trying to hold back. "...Alright, I stopped. So stop holding onto Fuu..." She said as she crossed her arms while looking at her sister shaking in fear while hiding behind her Fuu.
"Thank you, Yotsuba." He sighed in relief, glad that it didn't escalate any further. "By the way,
where's Raiha?" He asked, looking for his sister.
Meanwhile, Isanari, Emiko, and Maruo were walking back to the bakery after visiting the grave of Isanari and Maruo's wives.
While they talking about the banner and lightsticks Maruo owned, Isanari received an message from Raiha with a video attachment.
Isanari grinned and started to laugh as he played the video which confused the two.
"Did something happen to them?"
"Something big actually. Watch this." The blonde man said as he showed the attachment Raiha sent, titled 'Dad, spring just arrived for big bro!'.
"Oh my... Your daughters are quite aggressive, Maruo."
"They're definitely Rena's daughters and I can say the same for yours as well." Maruo commented while Emiko just giggled as they continue watch the video of Fuutarou being kissed by Rikka, Yotsuba and Ichika.
