Hayakawa nodded: "I plan to eat it tonight."
"Huh? Is this a good idea?"
Ichika smiled and straightened up, saying with feigned concern, "Eating this all the time isn't good for your health."
"fine."
Hayakawa said nonchalantly that his digestive system was made of steel, and that even poison would have no effect on him, let alone fast food or bento boxes.
But when Yotsuba heard this, her expression turned rather unpleasant.
Actually, there's nothing wrong with fast food bento boxes. Many office workers in Japan eat them. To say they're unhealthy is definitely an exaggeration. At most, they might have nutritional imbalances or be inconvenient to digest.
But at this moment, Yotsuba inexplicably recalled her experience at Hayakawa's house. She knew that Hayakawa used to basically not eat breakfast every day, or just eat something to fill her stomach. Now she also eats fast food bento boxes for dinner, and usually eats lunch at the school cafeteria... no, recently she has been eating fried noodles and bread from the convenience store. Doesn't that mean she is just fooling herself with all three meals a day?
If this continues for a long time, I'm sure I'll develop stomach problems.
"no,"
Yotsuba frowned, biting her pink lips, and said to Hayakawa, "Give me the fast food bento."
Chapter 448 The Five Sisters Together
"What?"
Hayakawa subconsciously took a step back, looking at Yotsuba in front of her with a puzzled expression.
Give it to me, I'll return it.
Yotsuba's hand was still suspended in mid-air, her tone lecturing: "You can't keep eating this kind of thing."
"I don't eat it all the time..."
Hayakawa was somewhat helpless. He wouldn't eat this all the time. He used to eat small bread rolls. Compared to that, even fast food bento boxes were better.
"no need."
Hayakawa intended to refuse.
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Yotsuba's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and an unassailable aura suddenly appeared in her originally weak and helpless body. She waved her outstretched hand in front of Hayakawa.
"..."
After a two-second silence, Hayakawa asked expressionlessly, "So what am I going to eat tonight? Will you cook for me?"
Yotsuba blushed immediately upon hearing this, and subconsciously glanced at Ichika beside her. Seeing no change in Ichika's expression, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You can order takeout..."
Halfway through her sentence, Yotsuba realized something was amiss. She had said that fast food bento boxes were unhealthy, but takeout was always considered healthy, so what did she mean by that? Thus, she changed her words before they even left her mouth.
"I…"
Yotsuba's voice changed: "I'll treat you to dinner."
Hayakawa was taken aback: "Huh?"
"Correct!"
Yotsuba's eyes lit up, she put her hands in front of her, raised her head and puffed out her chest, and said in a loud voice, "I'll treat you to dinner later."
"Uh…"
Hayakawa remained silent for a long time, then opened her mouth as if to say something, but Yotsuba pushed her into the convenience store. Her face flushed, she whispered, "Don't say anything more. Quickly take those bento boxes and return them."
"I know, I know..."
Hayakawa felt helpless, but he still went inside.
Hayakawa went inside, leaving only the two sisters, Ichika and Yotsuba, outside the shop.
Ichika silently watched Yotsuba with a slightly strange expression, while Yotsuba stared straight into the shop, seemingly focused on Hayakawa inside. In fact, she didn't dare to tilt her head even slightly, afraid of making eye contact with Ichika beside her. If you looked closely at her, you would notice that her cheeks and neck had somehow turned pink, which looked quite vibrant in the snowy world.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
After a long while, Yihua finally let out a soft sound.
"That's wonderful...their relationship has become so good."
As Ichika spoke, her voice had a somewhat inexplicable tone.
Yotsuba felt something was off. She sensed that Ichika's tone was strange, carrying a hint of envy... or even jealousy.
"what are you saying?"
Yotsuba silently turned her head to look at the open space on the other side: "I don't understand at all."
"Don't you understand? Hmph,"
Ichika's lips twitched slightly, revealing a cold smile, and she said in a resentful voice, "If it were before, I would definitely believe what you said, Yotsuba, but now, Yotsuba, I don't believe a word you say."
"..."
Yotsuba silently lowered her head, feeling that her credibility among her sisters had been damaged.
Ichika stared intently at Yotsuba, her voice filled with a resentful sigh: "You and Hayakawa... you probably know each other inside and out, so why are you pretending to be innocent?"
Know them inside and out?
Yotsuba was momentarily confused: Does that mean Hayakawa and I know each other very well?
That's what she thought, but the next moment she noticed Ichika's very strange tone, her sarcastic expression, and the resentment in her eyes, which made her vaguely feel that something was wrong.
Yotsuba was no longer a child, and she instantly realized what was happening, her eyes widening in shock.
The innocent girl Yotsuba had never seen such a lewd and obscene joke before. Her mind went blank, her head spun, and she swayed as if she was about to faint. She barely managed to stand up, and her face turned as red as a ripe tomato, as if it was about to bleed.
"Ichika!!"
Yotsuba's body was trembling, and she even cried out without caring that others would notice. She was extremely embarrassed, and her clenched fists were raised. It seemed that she was about to kill her closest sister at any moment.
"What…what are you doing?"
Ichika was startled by the menacing aura emanating from Yotsuba and instinctively took a step back: "Violence is unacceptable."
"You! I'll hit you..."
Yotsuba was still in a state of near-fainting from anger when she heard Ichika's words, and her eyes turned bloodshot, radiating murderous intent.
"I'm still helping you cover it up, so think it through before you hit me."
Yihua said silently.
"..."
Yotsuba froze for a moment, then shrank back like a deflated balloon, her expression turning dejected.
Don't be too sad.
Seeing Yotsuba's anxious and uncertain expression, Ichika felt a pang of pity and gently patted her head, comforting her, "At least you got what you wanted, didn't you?"
Yotsuba shook her head, the dejection on her face not disappearing.
Ichika realized that her attempts to comfort Yotsuba were futile, because Yotsuba was a good child who understood right and wrong and had a sense of shame. So comforting her was useless; no matter how much she coaxed her, Yotsuba would still feel guilty and ashamed for her wrongdoings. At times like these, the solution was not to waste time accompanying her, but to find a way to resolve the problem.
The biggest problem between Yotsuba and Hayakawa is undoubtedly Nino, who knows nothing about it.
She was still unaware of Hayakawa and Yotsuba's relationship and was still single-mindedly hoping for her first love.
If this problem isn't handled properly, Yotsuba will always feel indebted.
"Let's find some time to discuss the game of Yiqi Baba/Liuqi Yipai."
Ichika thought for a moment, bit her pink lips, and said earnestly to Yotsuba, "I'll help you. Let's talk to Nino together."
Yotsuba shook her head: "No, not at least not now. Let's wait a bit longer."
When my grades improve, when I can help the five sisters complete their further education, when I can help my sisters more, perhaps... I will have the courage to confess to Nino.
Then... perhaps everyone will be able to get along even more happily.
Yotsuba was looking forward to it, but she knew she couldn't accomplish it with her stupid brain, so she would have to rely on Hayakawa's help. She needed Hayakawa to tutor her and give her lessons, so she would definitely have to go to Hayakawa's house to study.
I need to go to his house…
"..."
It seems there are still some things I need to buy.
She secretly glanced in the direction of the convenience store, and Yotsuba's cute little face not only didn't fade, but became even more vibrant.
There's anticipation and fear... but at least it's not as hopeless as before.
Perhaps this is the best ending.
Yotsuba was thinking to herself when Ichika suddenly leaned over, a teasing smile on her face: "Yotsuba, why don't you and Nino both become Hayakawa's girlfriends?"
"what?"
Yotsuba turned around in shock, stunned for a moment.
What is this saying?!
Chapter 449 Sisters Together…
Yotsuba tilted her head, looking completely bewildered: "What are you talking about, Ichika?"
"Look, aren't we all sisters?"
With a broad smile, Ichika pointed to herself and said, "Besides, didn't we make a promise when we were little that we would marry the boys we liked? That way we could stay together and not have to separate."
Is there such an agreement?
Upon hearing this, Yotsuba frowned and pondered, "I have absolutely no recollection of this."
Yes, yes,
Ichika nodded vigorously to bolster her argument, then added, "Besides, you and Nino don't look alike. Nino only needs to do this..."
Ichika raised both hands to her head, making a bunny ear gesture to resemble Yotsuba's signature green ribbon, and then, mimicking Yotsuba's usual energetic, soft, and sunny voice, loudly proclaimed, "Good morning, Hayakawa-san!"
"That way, Hayakawa won't recognize you, right?"
Ichika lowered her hand, gave Yotsuba a "yeah" sign, and smiled slyly with narrowed eyes: "That way, the three of us can be together, and everyone will be happy."
Yotsuba Nakano: "..."
After thinking seriously for a long time with her head down, Yotsuba finally raised her head and said earnestly, "This won't do."
"From an ethical perspective..."
"Eh"
Ichika looked disappointed: "What does it matter? Hayakawa is a good man, you can't find one like him."
"No, it just won't work."
Yotsuba turned her head away, gave a cold snort, and seriously refused, saying, "Besides, where exactly did you get the idea that Hayakawa is a good man?"
"Handsome and academically excellent."
Upon hearing this, Ichika smiled slightly: "The most important thing is... that my family is rich."
Yotsuba stared in disbelief: "Just because of these things, and even being rich at home counts? You're so materialistic, Yotsuba! The most important thing is personality, personality and feelings!"
"That's not right. Even if you like someone, if you keep living a hard life, your feelings will be worn away."
Ichika, with a cold and rational expression, said: "If we live a wealthy life together, there will be far fewer conflicts, and we can enjoy romantic moments and harmonious relationships."
Yotsuba couldn't refute it and whispered, "Yes...you're right. It's not that personality is the most important thing."
"Hayakawa has a great personality too. Although she's a bit reserved, she's still quite interesting."
Ichika smiled and hugged Yotsuba, pressing her cheek against hers and teasingly saying, "Don't waste it, Yotsuba. Think about my plan carefully, isn't it the best one?"
"..."
Yotsuba was getting annoyed by Ichika's nagging, but listening to her words, she felt a fleeting moment of wavering in her heart.
What Ichika said seems to make some sense...
If the three of them are together, it seems that no one will be sad alone.
If Nino agrees, then everyone will be happy; if she doesn't agree, then it's not my problem, and... I guess I haven't wronged her.
At that moment, Yotsuba felt incredibly guilty, but she couldn't control herself. She had never thought of such a way to escape her shame before.
In the end, my initial plan was for Hayakawa and Nino to be together, and for me to accompany them as family. But as time went on, I couldn't control what might happen, and it was still possible that it would turn into a threesome. So I'm just going to do it all at once now.
