However, from then on, Hayakawa often made fun of her, calling her a child.

But I'm just a child.

Yotsuba felt very wronged. She didn't know why Hayakawa made fun of her. She had experienced two unpleasant things all at once: "having her panties seen" and "being given an impolite nickname." Even Yotsuba, who had always been thick-skinned, felt sad.

Hayakawa is so bad!

She thought to herself that this was one of the very few times she had ever felt ill will towards Hayakawa, and she never had again since.

But those past memories aren't important now; what's important is...

How does he know what kind of underwear I wore when I was a child?

"..."

Yotsuba's soul seemed to have left her body; her mind was blank, yet her body unconsciously continued walking towards home. Her chaotic mind was now filled with only this one thought.

"Hayakawa, you still remember me..."

Nakano Yotsuba struggled to keep her body from trembling and asked in a low voice.

Hayakawa murmured in response, "Um..."

In an instant, Yotsuba's heart seemed to bloom like a flower in the midst of the revival of all things, regaining all its vitality. The confusion that had been lingering over her vanished in an instant, allowing her to return to the carefree Yotsuba of the past.

"hey-hey…"

Yotsuba couldn't help but smile, her heart leaping with joy like a dancing flame. She turned her head slightly and said coquettishly to Hayakawa beside her, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Hayakawa didn't hear what she said, or rather, given his current state, even if he had, he probably wouldn't have understood what it meant. He simply shook his head.

Letting him speak first is worse than killing him; Hayakawa will not allow it… (I forgot the middle part, so I'll skip it).

Hayakawa remained silent, and Yotsuba couldn't do anything about it. She could only try harder to take him home. But unlike before, when Yotsuba was struggling silently, her steps were much lighter now, as if she had suddenly gained a lot of energy.

Their bodies pressed close together as they walked through the cold night.

……

"Nino~"

As soon as Yotsuba Nakano entered the entrance hall, she loudly exclaimed, "Come here quickly and see what I brought you!"

"Hmm? The goldfish at the temple fair?"

Nino Nakano was wrapped in a bath towel, enjoying her wonderful and free semi-naked time on the living room sofa. When she heard Yotsuba's voice, she looked up without paying much attention. When she saw Yotsuba being carried by Hayakawa, she was so startled that she almost dropped her phone: "Huh? Hayakawa!"

"Yes! I found it outside!"

Nakano Yotsuba looked extremely proud, as if showing off her treasure, and said, "I was taking a walk outside and I happened to see Hayakawa by the roadside. He was so drunk that I brought him back. Let's keep him here for the night."

"Don't talk like you're some kind of stray animal!"

Nino Nakano was startled by this sudden scene and couldn't calm down at all. Even though she had feelings for Hayakawa, she couldn't withstand such a shock.

"So, he's been drinking? No wonder he didn't reply to my messages,"

Nino Nakano calmed her racing heart and subconsciously touched her face. She was a little panicked when she realized she was without makeup, but she calmed down when she saw Hayakawa's unconscious state. She quickly said, "Don't carry him. Aren't you tired? Put him on the sofa first."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and took Hayakawa from Yotsuba's hands.

"Not tired, not tired."

As Yotsuba spoke, she handed Hayakawa to Nino. The moment Hayakawa left her hands, her heart ached as if someone had snatched something important from her.

"hey-hey…"

Yotsuba didn't reach out to snatch it back; she simply accepted the scene calmly, watching Nino place Hayakawa on the sofa and then call Ichika, Miku, and Itsuki downstairs.

"Oh? You scared me to death!"

Ichika exclaimed in surprise, then cautiously poked Hayakawa: "Isn't that Hayakawa? What's she doing here?"

"This taste,"

Even at home, Miku, who always wears headphones, frowned slightly and said with certainty, "He's probably drunk."

"You're kidding me?! That Hayakawa can actually drink?"

Nakano Satsuki looked incredulous upon hearing this, and her whole body went blank. In her eyes, Hayakawa was the best role model for her as a good student, and it was only natural that she should refuse bad habits and not touch alcohol.

"Wait a minute! Don't be so noisy! It's disturbing other people's rest,"

Seeing this, Nakano Nino raised her eyebrows and argued for her beloved: "What's wrong with drinking?! So what if it's illegal? Many desserts and dishes contain alcohol, you know? And drinking at this age is so cool. Anyway, you'll still need to know how to drink at mixers after graduation, so you might as well learn it sooner."

That's the truth, that's what Nino really thinks. In her opinion, Hayakawa would look even better if she grew her hair long, dyed it blonde, got a tattoo, and wore earrings. That's the type she likes.

The four girls surrounded Hayakawa, chattering and pointing at her like they were watching gorillas in a zoo. They were all quite excited, and it was clear that Hayakawa's appearance had brought an interesting twist to their peaceful lives, making them very happy.

Yotsuba Nakano watched this scene calmly from the side, a faint pain rising in her chest. She felt as if there was an invisible and impenetrable barrier between herself and the others, a distance that made her feel as if she were standing alone on one side of the earth, while they were laughing and chatting with Hayakawa on the other side of the earth, which was far beyond her reach.

My...Hayakawa...

"Stop arguing and get down to business."

The cheerful laughter, like that of a lark, was abruptly ended by Nino's loud shout, which startled Yotsuba back to her senses.

"You guys discuss it and decide to set aside a room for Hayakawa to sleep in tonight."

As was her duty, Nakano Nino defied all opposition and made it a reality that Hayakawa would stay overnight.

"how about you?"

Ichika, of course, had no objections. In her view, this was a good opportunity for her sisters, so she asked, "What are you doing?"

"my words…"

Upon hearing this, Nino Nakano blushed slightly, then stood up and said confidently, "Find a way to make him take a bath."

"what?!"

The women immediately gasped in surprise, returning to their previous noisy state.

Yotsuba: "..."

Chapter 147 I really am still...

"Take a shower... I think I really need to take a shower."

Nakano Ichika looked at Hayakawa, who was fast asleep on the sofa, with a troubled expression: "But..."

"But he's so drunk, how are we going to wash him?"

May timidly raised her hand and said what she wanted to say.

All the women fell silent, exchanging bewildered glances without uttering a word.

Someone suggested, "How about filling a bathtub with hot water and putting him in for a bath?"

Upon hearing this, Nino frowned and asked, "Is this considered taking a bath?"

"That's all we can do."

Ichika glanced at the unconscious Hayakawa and said.

"But the question is, who took off his clothes?"

Nakano Satsuki's face flushed, and she stammered, "Even if we could take his clothes off, who would put them back on after he takes a bath?"

The girls fell silent after thinking about this, exchanging glances and resignedly accepting reality: "Maybe we shouldn't wash it."

This time, no one dared to object. Even someone as bold as Nino wouldn't dare to take Hayakawa into the bathroom naked in front of her four sisters.

"No, Hayakawa has been out for who knows how long today. If he doesn't take a hot shower tonight, he might catch a cold again tomorrow."

Nakano Yotsuba's voice suddenly came from the side. She patted her chest confidently and said, "So let me do it. I'll take care of bathing Hayakawa!"

Upon hearing this, Ichika and the others looked at her in disbelief. Yotsuba's sudden appearance surprised the women.

Especially Ichika, who knew what Yotsuba was thinking, immediately stepped forward nervously upon hearing this and whispered, "Is...is it okay? Take off the boy's clothes."

"It doesn't matter,"

Clover magically pulled a long strip of white cloth from her pocket, pretended to blindfold herself, and said smugly, "As long as I wear this, everything will go smoothly."

Ichika: "..."

Why do you have this on your body?

"Oh, there's that method too."

May looked at Yotsuba with a slightly flushed face, but nodded as if she suddenly realized, "That's right, as long as you wear it when you take off your clothes at the end..."

"Then what,"

Nino said expressionlessly, "What are you going to do when you get dressed after taking a bath? And are you going to tie strips of cloth around your body when you're drying yourself?"

"this…"

Nakano Satsuki immediately shrank back, saying weakly, "We'll figure something out then..."

"I don't care about any of that,"

Seeing that no one supported her, Yotsuba Nakano remained unmoved and stubbornly said, "I'm going to boil water!"

After saying that, Yotsuba headed straight for the bathroom.

She had seen Hayakawa with a fever and cold at a temple fair before, and ever since then she couldn't bear to see him sick again.

"Wait, Yotsuba."

Ichika called out but couldn't stop them, and looked at her sisters with some helplessness.

The five Nakano sisters remained silent, but they were not suspicious or angry because of Yotsuba's intense reaction. After all, Yotsuba was usually a kind-hearted and good-natured person, or rather, she was quite stubborn in some ways.

"Um…"

Ichika hesitated for a moment, then looked at May and said, "May, go to your closet and find a few of your own clothes for Hayakawa to change into later."

"Why me...?"

Upon hearing this, Nakano Satsuki was filled with shame and indignation, and slapped the edge of the sofa in dissatisfaction.

Ichika smiled slightly upon hearing this: "I just randomly ordered one."

“It’s definitely not random,”

May's rosy cheeks puffed up like a squirrel's: "You did this on purpose."

It's definitely a subtle hint that I'm the heaviest of the five sisters, which is why they specifically asked me to prepare clothes for Hayakawa, right? Do you think I wouldn't understand such an obvious implication?!

"I'm not kidding you."

After much coaxing, Ichika finally managed to get her nagging sister upstairs. Turning to Nino, she pondered, "Then there's the question of which room Hayakawa will sleep in tonight. It looks like we need to leave a bedroom empty for him."

"Can't any one of them just do?"

Nino replied matter-of-factly, "If two sisters sleep together, we can have a room."

"Yes, so whose room is it?"

Ichika's mind raced. She pretended to ponder for a moment, then suddenly said, "I think Yotsuba and Hayakawa get along quite well. Why don't we let Hayakawa sleep in her room?"

"Huh? Why?"

Nino rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Yotsuba carried Hayakawa all the way back and had to take care of Hayakawa's bath, which was already hard enough. It's too cruel that she can't even sleep in the big bed by herself at night. We can't let her do all the hard work."

A hardship? No, no, no, this is not a hardship at all. Yotsuba would be more than happy to have her sweetheart sleep in her room.

As Ichika was thinking this, she was about to say something when Nino pointed at her and said, "Ichika, give up your room."

"Me? Mine won't work."

Upon hearing this, Ichika was so shocked that she waved her hands repeatedly. Only you would do something like stealing your sister's things. I would never do it!

Why doesn't yours work?
