Now it was January 1st. New year's Day. A few days back, when the girls had Christmas at his place that had multiple incidents that led one thing to another and now six out of ten girls confessed with three that hasn't and Nino who's feelings were still uncertain.

Fuutarou was walking to the shrine with Raiha who was wearing a cute yukata with a pattern that matched the flower accessory on her head.

"Ne, Big bro, will Itsuki-nee and her sisters be at the shrine? Oh and Aki-nee, Haruka-nee and their sisters too! Will we see them at the shrine?" Raiha asked her brother, wanting to see her future sister or sisters-in-law.

"Maybe Raiha... They might be still sleeping since they spent their night on a call with us last night." He replied. They were in a call to celebrate the New Year since they couldn't come together. That didn't stop them from flirting with him of course.

Every time they flirted with him last night, it dealt critical damage to him, especially Itsuki tried to but failed. Cutely. The one that dealt the most damage was Ichika who even showed her cleavage but her sisters stopped her from getting too spicy...

Fuutarou was still damaged from Christmas and the flirting did additional damage that if he were to meet them right now, he'd blush immediately just from seeing them.

'I hope I don't run into them... I won't even last a few minutes with them because of last night... Their lines were cute though...'

Arriving at the shrine, they did a quick prayer and pulled some fortune slips. For the first time in a while since he received a Chūkichi instead of his usual Kyou.

"Big bro, can we buy an Ema?" Raiha asked with pleading eyes where his brother just nodded as they went and purchase two Ema plaques. The two siblings then wrote their wish and went to find the place where they should hang them.

"Ah it's here, Raiha." He said as he lead his sister to hang their plaques. Hanging his plaque, his hand met two others.

"Eh?"

"It's Fuutarou/Fuu/Fuutarou-kun!" They said in unison. It was both quintuplet families wearing beautiful yukatas with floral patterns that matched the colors of their usual accessories.

The sisters hugged the boy which caused some passersby to look at them. Some giggled at the view of him being hugged by multiple beautiful and cute girls while some felt jealous. What caught his eye thought was Nino who has been oddly meek and was fidgeting with her hair. Haruka, Itsuki and Tsuyu blushed at their sisters actions but still felt envious of them.

After a few moments, they released him but started posing in front of him.

"Now..."

"Who..."

"Looks..."

"Better..."

"In a..."

"Yukata..."

"Fuutarou-kun, Fuutarou, Fuu, Darling~" they asked him in unison while doing some small posses in front of the boy who was blushing.

"Come on, onee-san looks the best, right?"

"Darling likes me better~"

"No no, Fuu likes mine more!"

"Come here sis! We need to take him for ourselves!" Aki said as she grabbed Haruka and Tsuyu's hand while bringing them over.

"We need more fire power..." Miku told Ichika as she grabbed Itsuki and the meek Nino to him.

"Now choose~" they said with a blushing Itsuki, Haruka and Tsuyu who tried their best in a cute pose with Nino doing one as well albeit being quite shy for some time now.

Remember what I said earlier? The thing where he he'd blush and become flustered just from seeing them? Yeah, that him right now. His face was fully red with his head letting out some steam and almost fainting from the view in front of him.

"I uh..." He was so flustered that he even stuttered.

"Don't corner him like that, girls." Emiko said from behind while holding out her phone, clearly filming them. Fuutarou face sparkled in joy to see that someone would help him but left quickly after he heard what she said next. "You need to do it more seductively and spicy! Like go closer and open up that cleavage! Be proud of the genes I gave you!" She told her daughters.

"Mom, spring has finally arrived for big bro!" She said as she looked up at the sky.

"Fufu, it's still cold so shall we head to a nearby restaurant? I know a good one that has private booths near here." Emiko suggested as she felt pity for the boy who was clearly flustered. Well they nodded and agreed to go the place she suggested with Fuutarou being dragged by the girls who were holding his hands.

Arriving at the restaurant, Emiko then got a private room for the twelve of them.

Entering the room, it looked similar to those karaoke rooms but instead of having a karaoke machine, it had a TV and a phone for calling the waiter.

"I'll sit next to Fuutarou/Fuu/Darling/Fuutarou-kun!" They said in unison again making them look at each others eyes with fire in their eyes. In the small moment of that, Itsuki and Tsuyu took the chance and went to sit beside him with the redhead on the right and the blonde on the left.

Needless to say the quints looked at their youngest sister who stood her ground by gripping on his shirt while Tsuyu just sat beside him while her sisters giggled.

They then sat with Haruka and Raiha next to eachother. Although she kept stealing glances at the young man even if she felt a little weird in her chest.

Nino just sat silently next to Emiko and Raiha and the rest tried sit closer with Miku and Aki right across him and Ichika, Rikka and Yotsuba sat a seat after their youngest sisters.

After ordering their food, Fuutarou notices their attempts on getting his attention by doing cute posses and gripping on his shirt. He was especially charmed by Miku, Ichika and Yuki who called him and when he turned they just gave him a smile. Which dealt critical damage to him.

"Actually, he never said which of us looked better in a yukata."

"Now that you mentioned it, he didn't..." Yotsuba followed up. Ever since he became their tutor again, she had been weirdly aggressive and been trying to get his attention more with some attempts of trying to get closer to him. Not that he minded since it looked like she was being herself but that was until Christmas.

"...tarou"

"Fu...

"...-kun"

"Fuutarou-kun!"

"Huh?" He looked up to see some pouting faces of girls in a yukata. Some might think he was in heaven.

"Jeez, we've called you five times already, darling." Aki sighed.

"Oh I'm sorry, but why do you call me darling?" He asked.

"Oh? Do you dislike me calling you that?"

"Not exactly..."

"Then there isn't a problem! Also I'll be calling you that more in the future, darling~"

"Mouu it isn't fair that they get to call you with an affectionate nickname, Uesugi-kun!" Itsuki pouted.

"True, it's unfair for us to not call you something..." Rikka said as she put her hand on her chin.

"I want to call you with a nickname too, Fuutarou!" Haruka said as she raised her hand. She also felt slightly jealous of her sister who had an affectionate nickname for their crush.

"I'm good with Fuutarou." Miku said.

"I too will continue calling him that." Yuki said as she shot a smile at him

"Then why don't you girls try to think of one while the food isn't here yet?" Emiko suggested receiving a positive response from all the girls.
