Back to the Nakano's... Since adding another family was a huge mistake by me, sorry ;)
...
"So that's what happened... Such a thing..."
After the affair with the Hojoin mother and daughter, Yoshida had been treated to a lavish lunch. Now, he walked toward the rendezvous point for his date with Nino, his phone pressed to his ear as he reported the day's events to Rena.
Her voice, though gentle, carried an unmistakable thread of sorrow woven through her words.
"I'm sorry! I let my emotions get the better of me! And I gave in to my own base desires... I'm pathetic, aren't I..."
"Fufufu... That compassionate heart of yours is both your greatest virtue and your most troublesome flaw. But... I love you exactly as you are, you know."
"Rena... thank you. My heart is always with you, you know that."
"Fufu... thank you. Still, to think the student you've been tutoring was the young lady of the Hojoin family... That, I confess, is what truly shocks me."
'Wait... she's more surprised by that than the fact I got swept up and had sex? Does she actually not trust me as much as I thought?'
"D-Do you... not think I'm very trustworthy?"
"Hm? Ah, no, that's not it at all. It's just... considering you're already involved with my daughters, it isn't that much of a shock, I suppose... Well, the matter of my daughters was something I myself asked of you, but... um... Are you truly telling me you had no experience with women before we met?"
"Eh!? N-No, I didn't! Not that it's something to boast about..."
Yoshida scrambled to answer Rena's pointed question, but a wave of self-deprecation washed over him regardless.
"Hmm... All the girls around you before must have simply lacked discernment. But, thanks to that, I was able to become your first woman, wasn't I? It makes me so happy."
"I feel the same way. I'm glad, from the bottom of my heart, that my first time was with you, Rena."
"Hirokazu... Honestly! Saying things like that when I can't just rush over to see you right now!"
"I feel the same. I want to see you too, to hold you tight in my arms."
Hearing her confess her desire to meet, he let his own matching feelings spill out freely.
"Fufufu... Let's meet tomorrow, then. Something you said about today has sparked an idea in my mind, and I'd like to discuss it with you."
"An idea?"
"Yes... I may end up using you, in a way. And... you might come to hate me for it."
Rena spoke of an idea, but warned him that it might lead to him despising her.
"Tch... Don't worry about that. I'd do anything for you, Rena. This idea... It's for the sake of our future together, isn't it?"
"Hirokazu... thank you."
A voice laden with relief and joy answered his declaration. 'God, I really want to see her right now and just hold her close...'
"So, for today, don't fret over what happened. Focus entirely on making sure Nino has a wonderful time."
"Understood."
Just then, he arrived at the meeting spot. Nino didn't seem to have appeared yet.
"Even so... you are an honest man. What happened today... You could have easily kept silent about it. With the Hojoin family's influence, it would never have leaked out."
"I could never do that. The thought of keeping secrets from you... that would hurt me far more than you hating me for it."
"Fufufu... Is that so? To be cherished so deeply... I must be the happiest woman alive. Well then, I'll hang up now. I love you, Hirokazu."
"I love you too, Rena."
The call ended. He had steeled himself for the possibility of her disgust, for talk of separation. 'Thank god... Sigh... I still really want to see Rena, though...'
"Hiro-nii!"
Lost in thought, staring up at the sky, he was roused by Nino's bright voice. She approached him with a beaming smile.
"Sorry, did I keep you waiting too long?"
"No, not really. I just got here myself."
"Fufu... I've always dreamed of having that kind of exchange, you know... Doesn't it feel like we're real lovers?"
"Now that you mention it, it kind of does."
He chuckled as he replied to Nino, who seemed positively giddy. Today, she wore a black inner top beneath a thin white blouse, paired with a black mini-skirt.
"Whoa... You look really mature today, Nino. Though I think that skirt might be a little too mini..."
"Fufufu... thanks. But isn't a skirt like this perfectly normal?"
"No, I mean... I just don't really like the thought of other guys looking at you..."
"Fufufu... so you're the jealous type, huh?"
Visibly delighted by his words, Nino snaked her arm around his, linking them together.
"Of course I am. If you're not careful, someone could even see up that thing."
"It's fine. I'm careful about that kind of thing. But you being jealous... makes me so happy."
Having linked her arm with his, Nino pressed herself even closer, deliberately mashing her breasts against his bicep.
"Your chest is pressing against me, you know."
"I know. I'm doing it on purpose."
"Thought so. So, what do you want to do? Hit up a mall, do a little shopping?"
Yoshida sighed at her brazenness but played along, asking about their plans for the day.
"That sounds nice, but... how about we just go to a hotel right away?"
"Huh!? So suddenly!?"
"I mean, if we wander around here, one of my sisters might spot us, right?"
"Well, yeah... that's true. But, we don't have a reservation anywhere, do we?"
"Don't worry, I already looked into that."
Startled by her abrupt suggestion of heading straight to a hotel, he couldn't deny the risk of being seen by one of the other quintuplets.
When he asked which hotel, Nino was already pulling out her phone, having apparently done her research in advance.
"How about this place? Doesn't it look nice?"
"Huh? Wha—! That's a love hotel!"
"Oh? My friends use places like this, too, apparently. And I'm a little curious myself."
'Seriously... high school girls these days are way too forward...'
"Well, alright. Today, I'm yours. We'll go wherever you want, Nino."
"Thank you. It's a little far, so let's take the train."
And so, under Nino's direction, they made their way toward their destination.
