If you can't learn, then just fall in love

"There's no need to apologize. People like me who can't help should apologize..." Miku comforted Ichika softly, wondering whether she should find a job. Since Ichika could study while working, she should be able to do it too.

"Ichika, I'm glad you can say that~" Yotsuba, who had been worried about Ichika, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said, "It's not that kind of job after all."

The corners of his mouth twitched. Soraru once complained about Ichika's mysterious working hours, and the fact that she was always sent back by the president, anyone would misunderstand it as that kind of thing.

As the youngest of the five and the one who is taken care of the most, Mayu bit her lip lightly, "It's really nice to be able to say it out loud. Thank you for your hard work, Ichika."

Holding her hair lightly, Ichika smiled calmly, she was just abiding by the agreement with Sora Maru, but it felt good to say it.

"Because of the main role, we have a large amount of savings. Don't think about going out to work. Study hard first. After all, our main task at the moment is to pass the exam." Ichika shook his finger and reminded them, "The holiday is almost over, and we still have a lot of homework to do."

Thinking of the test paper Qingkong prepared for her, Yotsuba's face froze, "Today is my birthday, I'll start writing tomorrow."

The others nodded. After all, there were still two days left and there was no rush to finish their homework.

Ichika, who still had a lot of homework left, agreed and said, "Let's work hard together starting tomorrow."

After celebrating a birthday, the five sisters were so exhausted that they just collapsed on the sofa, too lazy to move.

"I'm going to the balcony to get some fresh air."

Ichika walked to the balcony, leaned on the railing and looked at the night sky. She told her sisters about her other identity, and her sisters forgave her for hiding it.

"They are indeed gentle children..."

It was a bit cold, so Ichika stretched out her sleeves to cover half of her palms. Although it felt a bit strange, it was still quite comfortable. No wonder Nino was always like this.

Reaching out to grab the night sky, Yihua put his arms on the railing and just stared blankly.

"I prepared birthday presents for everyone, but in the end no one showed up. Sora Maru is really..."

Ichika sighed, missing the boy a little.

"Um, can I bother you for a moment?"

The energetic voice brought a smile to Ichika's face, "No need to bother you, Yotsuba."

With an embarrassed smile, Yotsuba walked to Ichika's side and imitated Ichika by lying on the railing.

"Wow, it's so cold."

Seeing her sister's silly look, Ichika shook her head helplessly, "It's still quite cold at night. It will be much better in the summer."

Sniffing, Yotsuba pouted, "If I had known, I wouldn't have changed into short-sleeved shirts so early."

Ichika was a little surprised that Yotsuba, who was usually very lively, was afraid of the cold. After thinking for a while, she took off her long sleeves and put them on Yotsuba.

"It's okay with me."

"Put it on. I'm not afraid of the cold."

The wind I felt on the motorcycle today was much colder than this one, Ichika thought, "Does Yotsuba want to talk to me about something?"

Clamping her clothes tighter, Yotsuba hesitated to speak, but still expressed her doubts.

"It's nothing important, I just feel like something is wrong with Ichika..."

He chuckled softly and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I'm fine, Yotsuba, you're overthinking."

"Is that so?" Yotsuba muttered, "But I think Ichika is a little strange. Her expression has been a little stiff since she said she was an actor."

Squinting at Yotsuba, Ichika tilted his head.

She was indeed a little abnormal because she had been thinking about one thing.

Do you really like acting?

If it were in the past, she would have said without hesitation that she liked it, but after going through so many things, she didn't know whether she liked being an actor or not.

Running between school and film sets, failing to keep up with studies, and lack of sleep are all secondary issues.

What she is most concerned about is why she acts.

It used to be a hobby, but after moving out, she turned her hobby into a job, which is a bad feeling.

"Has Qingkong known for a long time that you, Ichika, are an actor?"

"Um..."

Ichika discovered where her unhappiness came from. It was because she told her sisters about the acting in accordance with the agreement with Aozora.

Before this, this was Qingkong's own secret.

With the help of this identity, she was lucky enough to experience many things with Qingkong, received a lot of help from him, and was fortunate enough to see the real him who was looming.

This secret that only belonged to him and me was known by others, which made him feel a little unhappy...

There aren't many things that belong to you alone, and Ichika has known this for a long time.

PS: This chapter doesn't feel right, I'll revise it tomorrow

Some people may feel that the recent plot is watery, please bear with me, after all, it would be strange if all the parties accepted it without characterizing the characters.

Harem or single female lead?

Let's investigate. The final decision will be based on the vote.

Harem

Single female lead

I personally like single female protagonists, because I like losers, it feels so good to let the character get deeper and deeper into the trap and then have to leave sadly in the end

(weird)

Whether it is a single female lead or a harem, character portrayal is necessary, which means "I will not stop (referring to the number of water words)". After all, without a loser character that is deeply rooted in people's hearts, a single female lead will not be outstanding. If the character is not clear, it will be boring to have a harem. Bulldozers are stupid.

Chapter 127 Flower Wind

Without asking any more questions, Yotsuba simply hummed and looked at the stars in the sky.

The breeze blew the girl's ribbons, and the soft ribbons swayed like clover.

"You didn't wear the ribbon that Qingkong gave you."

"Eh?" Yotsuba smiled, "The one we have now is pretty good, there's no need to change it."

Ichika nodded and reached out to touch the green ribbon.

"Is your ribbon getting bigger?"

Reaching out and touching it, Yotsuba frowned, trying hard to figure out why.

"Ah, I see. This ribbon is actually alive. It has been absorbing nutrients from my brain, just like clover. It has grown bigger and bigger, and finally bloomed into a flower that is not cute at all."

Imagining that this thing was connected to Yotsuba's brain, Ichika couldn't help but feel a chill. She had seen a picture somewhere where a person was pulling the hair accessories on a girl's head upwards, and then pulling them out along with the brain.

Shivering, Ichika shook his head, trying to forget his strange idea.

"Ichika, are you cold?" Yotsuba wanted to take off her clothes and give them back to Ichika, but she touched her head, "Ichika's hands are so warm."

Touching Yotsuba's soft hairband, Ichika calmed down a little, "Is there?"

"Yeah, it feels like my mom."

Being told by her younger sister that she is like a mother is probably the best compliment for Ichika. She has been protecting her younger sisters since they were young, and being able to be like her mother is her greatest wish.

It’s just that the one who values ​​the relationship among the five people the most is Nino, the one who admires her mother the most is Mayu, and people like me are just half-baked.

"Nino and Satsuki are probably the ones who look most like their mothers. I'm far from that."

Yotsuba nodded in agreement, but then shook her head. Her conflicted look made Ichika laugh.

"Does Yotsuba disagree with what I said?"

"No, I just think Ichika underestimates herself." Yotsuba gently grabbed Ichika's hand and imitated her, leaning against the railing and tilting her head back. The two people with short hair looked at each other, "Ichika always gives me the feeling that she is suppressing herself. Hmm, how should I describe it? Let me think about it."

Seeing Yotsuba frowning and thinking hard, Ichika chuckled. She was suppressing her emotions, how could it be possible?

If that was really the case, how could that Hanyu Aozora not notice it?

He was someone who was as good at disguising himself as I was. It was impossible to hide things from one's kind, so I didn't suppress my emotions.

But, did that person really not notice?

Biting her lip, Ichika was deceiving herself, she was carefully weaving a web of lies, if not she would have no place to rest.

"Ah, I remember now." Siye, who had the best Chinese language performance among the five sisters, finally thought of an excuse, "Just like a flower waiting to bloom, it never reveals its true appearance until the flower wind arrives."

Ichika blinked, "Flower Sign Wind?"

"Well, the winds tell the truth, and the flowers don't. This is called the 24 Flower Winds." Yotsuba proudly put her hands on her hips, showing off what she knew. That made Ichika smile. "It was originally something that spread from a country across the sea. I have found a lot of information about it."

Yihua always felt that she had heard this word somewhere before, so she took out her cell phone and searched for these words.

"In my heart, a flower is like a bud waiting to bloom. It suppresses its emotions because it has not waited for its own wind. But when the wind arrives as promised, the flower will not break its promise to the wind."

Yotsuba took out her phone and read the text on it, but when she looked up, she found Ichika shaking the phone with an "I see" expression on her face.

"Hanafu" is the name of the cover song that Qingzora uploaded to Niconico a few days ago. The guy wrote the exact same words as Yotsuba said in the introduction.

"Well, I learned about it from Qingkong..."

Having failed in her attempt to show off, Yotsuba looked away, looking embarrassed.

Seeing her like this, Yihua gently pulled her face and said, "It's okay. I can't remember so many things."

"Really? Hehe, this is the only thing I'm confident about."

Touching his chin, Ichika teased his silly sister, "But, Yotsuba, you pay a lot of attention to him. Not only do you pay attention to him, but you also look for relevant information so seriously."

"No, no way?" Although her words were a little stiff, Yotsuba just smiled, so that Ichika couldn't see anything. "I don't have any feelings for Qingkong, Ichika, don't talk nonsense."

"But I haven't mentioned the guy's name yet. How do you know he's referring to Qingkong?"

Ichika felt a little sad thinking that another of her sister had fallen in love with him. What was so good about that bastard? Wasn't he just handsome, good at studying, and kind to others?

Yotsuba chuckled, "Because he's the only one..."

Silenced by these words, Ichika no longer had the heart to continue teasing Yotsuba.

Indeed, he was the only one who knew his own affairs and had always been helping him. Even though he was a twisted and weird bastard, he had always been thinking about changing himself.

Although his expectation was based on the fact that he himself couldn't do it and wanted Ichika to do it, it didn't affect Ichika's liking for his awkward gentleness.

Sometimes it’s not because there is no better that you don’t want to like others, but because you only like that person, and no one else is important.

Just like the flower signal wind, when the wind that has promised to blow comes, one flower will turn into a sea.

"Yoshiha, do you like Qingkong?"

Ichika asked the question that concerned her most.

"How is that possible? I won't fall in love with him." Yotsuba looked into Ichika's eyes and smiled seriously. She was not lying. "On the contrary, I would rather he date someone else."

Ichika was stunned. It was the first time she heard such an idea. Everyone she knew wanted to date Aozora, but Yotsuba was the only one who wanted Aozora to be with someone else.

Ichika tried to read something from her smile, but all she could see was seriousness in Yotsuba's shining eyes.

"So, we are probably the same~"

"Ichika, like me?"

Smiling and nodding, the eldest sister of the five sisters, Nakano Ichika, told Yotsuba her decision as if she was talking to herself, "Because Nino and Miku like Aozora, I wanted to support them both."

"Ah, the person I was supporting was Aozora." Yotsuba was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't support Nino and Miku like Ichika did."

With a half-smile, Ichika looked at the night sky thoughtfully, letting the late spring night breeze blow her bangs away, "Yes, we are different, but there is no need to apologize, because I also think that Nino and Miku have little hope."

"Hey... Ichika, you also think Eriri and Kei have a better chance..."

"Yeah, those two have been with Qingkong since they were little, they can't possibly compare to him."

Impossible to compare?

No way, with Aozora's help and the information Nino told her, Ichika felt that she was the one who knew Aozora best among the five sisters.

But there is no way to compete. I don’t even dare to confess my feelings. I can only put my feelings in the wind, let alone compete with Nino and the others on the same stage.

There's nothing else you can do except suppress your mood.

"Ichika?"

"I'm fine, Yotsuba, go back early. It's a bit cold at night." Ichika leaned on the railing, bored and dazed, "I'll go in later."
