“Yeah yeah, we know about Yu having superpowers.”
After listening to Nino's serious explanation, Ichika remained calm and said, flicking the toothpick in her hand into the trash can.
Sitting up, Ichika suddenly slapped her white, smooth thigh.
“Slap!”
The sound wasn't very loud, but it still drew the attention of the few people in the living room.
“Huh?! Ichika, what are you doing?”
Startled by Ichika's sudden "self-harm," Nino leaned back slightly and asked.
“Ichika...did she choke?”
Looking at Ichika holding her thighs, lowering her head, Itsuki asked with some concern.
“Have some water.”
Hearing this, Miku handed a glass of warm water to Ichika.
“I'm fine. Since Nino confessed, I can't hide it either.”
Seeing her four sisters so concerned, Ichika, who wanted to keep acting, quickly said she was fine. Then, her expression turned serious:
“Actually...”
The four sisters looked at each other and followed suit, chanting:
“Actually...”
“Actually, I'm Ultraman.”
Ichika spoke with a solemn tone, as if revealing her greatest secret of a lifetime.
“Oh?! So Ichika is actually Ultraman! Sounds amazing!”
As soon as Ichika finished speaking, Yotsuba's eyes widened with surprise. Seeing the surprised look mixed with a bit of joy, you could tell that Yotsuba didn't believe it but was just playing along with Ichika.
“Humph! Amazing, right.”
With Yotsuba's cooperation, Ichika wasn't embarrassed at all. She crossed her arms and looked proud.
Seeing this, Miku and Itsuki exchanged glances, didn't say anything, Miku continued to eat her cantaloupe while watching TV, while Itsuki smelled the aroma of food, tears uncontrollably overflowing from the corner of her mouth, she couldn't help but get up and walk towards the kitchen.
Looking at Ichika and Yotsuba's act, Nino was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
“Ha?! You're kidding, right?! There's no way there's such a thing as Ultraman in the world?!”
Gritting her teeth, Nino felt like her intelligence was being mocked by Ichika. After all, everyone knows that Ultraman is fake.
Seeing Nino's reaction so big, Ichika quickly waved her hands and tried to appease Nino's emotions, saying:
“Didn't you start the joke first, Nino? There's no way there's such a thing as superpowers in the world.”
“Yeah yeah, Nino is a smart kid, but it's not good to trick us into being stupid kids.”
Yotsuba also sat down next to Ichika, nodding in agreement.
“Yu said he had superpowers when he was little.”
Miku took her attention away from the TV and added.
“I'm telling the truth! Yu really has superpowers!”
Seeing that no one believed her, Nino felt like she was about to collapse. Why is it that no one believes the truth now?!
Thinking about it carefully, it’s also true. Nino wouldn’t believe something as outlandish as this before.
“Okay okay, Yu has superpowers, hmm, I’ll go to the bedroom to sleep for a while, remember to call me when dinner is ready.”
Seeing Nino’s temper getting up, Ichika said, her phone vibrated, she glanced at her phone, then hurriedly got up. After finishing speaking, she went upstairs without waiting for the other’s reaction.
“Ichika has been a little strange lately, it seems like she’s been busy with something.”
Looking at Ichika leaving upstairs, Yotsuba scratched her head and said.
“Strange, strange, forget it, I'm not going to tell you guys anymore. Really, you don't even believe the truth. That, pass the cantaloupe over here, I can't reach it.”
Pouting, knowing that they won’t believe her unless they see it with their own eyes, Nino didn't argue. She ate the fruit and looked at the cantaloupe.
However, she was still very unconvinced. It was clearly the truth, after all.
Surely Yu knew from the beginning that Ichika and the others wouldn't believe her?!
Thinking about it, Nino chewed on the cantaloupe hard, as if she were chewing on Nakano Yu, who was busy cooking in the kitchen.
Of course, Nakano Yu in the kitchen had no idea about this, he was still concentrating on cooking.
Putting on the pot lid, Nakano Yu is now waiting for the soup to simmer.
Just as he was about to take a break, he turned his head and saw Itsuki standing by the kitchen counter.
At this moment, Itsuki was gazing intently at the prepared tomato scrambled eggs, occasionally sucking on the tears of hunger at the corner of her mouth.
“Haha...you can eat it if you want to.”
Seeing Itsuki's appearance, Nakano Yu smiled and said.
“No! No, tomato scrambled eggs are the most delicious when eaten with rice!”
Hearing this, Itsuki quickly shook her head. Although she said so, her hand still unconsciously reached towards the steaming dish on the table.
“Slap!”
“Ooh!”
Just as she was about to grab a piece of bright yellow scrambled eggs, a pair of chopsticks gently slapped Itsuki's back of the hand, startling her. She quickly retracted her hand.
Looking puzzled at the young man beside her, she saw Nakano Yu handing her a pair of wooden chopsticks:
“Really, aren’t you afraid of being scalded? Here, chopsticks.”
“Thank you, Yu.”
Taking the chopsticks, Itsuki thanked him, immediately trying the tomato scrambled eggs, and at the same time, tasted the meat strips next to it. As she ate, she gradually showed a look of satisfaction, muttering in her mouth:
“Yu’s food is definitely delicious with white rice today.”
Hearing Itsuki’s mumbling, Nakano Yu smiled helplessly and said:
“Itsuki, you’re really the same as when you were little, so greedy.”
Among the five sisters, Itsuki is the most well-behaved and has the largest appetite, but if you say she’s fat, she’s not fat either. She has a very comfortable body, not thin like a monster, nor fat like a Snorlax.
To put it bluntly, the food she eats grows in the right place.
Anyway, Itsuki’s kids will never be hungry in the future, hmm, maybe they’ll even eat too much?
“No way! I’m just growing!”
Hearing this, Itsuki hurriedly refuted, the oil from the food around her mouth hadn’t been wiped away yet.
“Okay okay, you’re growing, then eat more. If you get fat and can’t get married, I’ll raise you guys.”
Nakano Yu said with a smile, turning around to pull out a tissue and wipe the oil on Itsuki's lips.
“Eat slowly, no one’s snatching it away from you.”
“Oh.”
Staring at the young man’s face which was very close, Itsuki was stunned for a moment, responding in a daze. Only when Nakano Yu withdrew his hand did she come to her senses.
Looking at Nakano Yu’s back as he cooked, Itsuki looked at the food on the kitchen counter again, suddenly asked:
“Yu, do you think you’ll still cook for us after you get married?”
“Hmm? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
Nakano Yu, who was seasoning the broth behind him, was a little puzzled when he heard Itsuki’s words. Usually, Itsuki wouldn't ask so many sentimental questions.
“Just wanted to ask.”
Itsuki didn’t explain and gave a perfunctory reply.
“I should be unable to, after all, you guys will have your own families…”
After thinking for a while, Nakano Yu said.
Upon hearing the negative answer, Itsuki’s eyes dimmed imperceptibly, only to have Nakano Yu suddenly change his tone and add:
“Unless…”
“Unless?”
Hearing this, Itsuki looked up at Nakano Yu.
“Unless I marry one of you guys, we’re not related by blood anyway.”
Nakano Yu shrugged and said, there are not so many rules in Japan, and it’s not a secret that he’s not related to the five sisters.
However, Nakano Yu was just joking, after all, they are still so young, there’s no point in talking about this.
Just as Nakano Yu thought that Itsuki wouldn’t take his joke seriously and continued to busy himself with seasoning the broth, unexpectedly, Itsuki showed a thoughtful look.
Seems like this proposal… is not bad?
