[Ao]

In the car, 5 girls are now sitting while the car is on the move.

While the girls are having small talk about their first day, Ichika's mind, on the other hand, is flying out somewhere.

One of the girls saw that she didn't respond so she tapped her shoulder.

"Ichika, are you okay?"

Hearing this, her mind back to the earth and immediately replies awkwardly.

"I'm okay"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes and don't overthink. If I have a problem, I'm gonna tell you, Itsuki."

"nnn…"

Itsuki nodded.

Nakano Itsuki.

She is one of Ichika's quintuplet sisters. An earnest girl who sometimes stands as a mother figure to them.

"By the way, Nino. You said that you want us to walk home so what's with the change of mind?"

Ichika forcedly changes the topic.

Nakano Nino.

She has an outgoing personality and is socially aware.

However, she has a sharp tongue, making you remember someone.

Despite that, she is your typical tsundere.

"A stalker…"

"Stalker?"

The rest of them confusedly said.

"Yes, someone has been following us since we go out the school, right, Miku?"

"Yes"

Miku nonchalantly said.

Nakano Miku.

As your typical introvert, she is a silent and reserved girl who has a pessimistic way of thinking and low confidence, even to the point of belittling herself.

"Is that so?"

Ichika said while thinking that it was very dangerous at this time.

"Do we need to report this?"

Itsuki said while holding her phone.

"We already loss them so I think it's no longer necessary."

Niño said while crossing her arms and looking at the window.

Having a sense of her words, they decided to believe in her.

But before this topic ended, Ichika notice another of her sister is quiet.

"Yotsuba, did something happen to you?"

Ichika asked.

Nakano Yotsuba.

She is an active, cheerful, and easygoing girl but for an unknown reason, she became quiet right now.

"Nothing…"

She smiles wryly.

Ichika doubt her words but didn't pry it. Like her, she has some secrets that didn't tell so she understands it.

Well, if you want to know what's the reason for the behavior, it can be said that she saw someone she know in the past.

She met him earlier when she saw him following Itsuki.

She didn't expect that they will meet again so she reminisced the time in Kyoto when she save him from the police, 5 years ago.

Light chuckle outs and she looks at the window.

…

On the street.

"This is bad…"

My little sister calls me earlier and said that my father found a job for me. There is a wealthy family which just move here and they are looking for a tutor for their daughter. They will pay five times as much.

It's kinda shady but I didn't reject it.

She gave me the family surname and I down the call since the next subject was about to start

However, a problem occurs.

"I'm Nakano Itsuki, I hope we get along."

The girl that I reject to teach is the daughter of the one I am supposed to teach.

Lunchbreak.

I approach her but unfortunately, she is avoiding me.

This is bad… If I didn't talk with her my job will be lost.

And so, I approach her until today's school ends.

I follow her but I didn't expect that they will use a car.

"What should I do?"

I can just call a taxi but I don't have any money.

Do I just give up? No! I'm gonna try tomorrow.
