Chapter 24: Chapter 24

A day later, I spent the entire day to search what father did to Rena-san's husband. It turned out that Maruo Nakano, Rena-san's husband, was the acquaintance of father in the past. They met for the first time when father saved a little hospital from getting bankrupt by investing in it, and Maruo-san was the one in charge of that Hospital.

They were good business partners, for when they were together, they turned the nearly bankrupt hospital into one of the best in the country right now. But somehow, they had a very big argument that resulted in father withdrawing all of his assets from the hospital. The argument was very big that their fallout was over all of the countries for the entire week. After that, they acted to each other as if they were strangers. However, I cannot find any relationship between father and Maruo-san other than that.

But when I investigated Maruo-san's personal life, I found something interesting. He was the doctor who was responsible for Rena-san's former husband before he died.

'That is interesting. I don't know that Rena-san had a second marriage, with the doctor who was responsible for her husband's last moment nonetheless. I will take a note and leave it for now.' I mussed in front of my computer.

As for their daughter, it turned out to be quintuplets from Rena-san's former husband. I winced after reading this part.

'It must be hurt as hell to give birth to five children in one turn. Poor Rena-san.' I shake my head and focused back on my reading.

There is not a lot of information that I got from the internet about them. But after I looked for Nakano's name on several social media, I found the name Miku Nakano on a forum that discussed Japan's History. It seems she is a historical nerd. After thinking for a minute, I decided to start a chat with her.

[Hiro: Good Afternoon. Are you somehow related to Itsuki Nakano?]

[Miku: .........…..]

[Miku: Who are you?]

[Hiro: I am sorry for being rude. My name is Hiro. My sister and I met a girl when we visited Tokyo yesterday, and she gave us her name as Itsuki Nakano. I was wondering if you are related to her or not?]

[Miku: Well… She is my sister, and she told me she met a strange pair of siblings yesterday. Was that you that she talked about?] I sweatdropped at the strange sibling comment, but after thinking for a while, it must be Itsuki-san's cover for us to her father because she didn't want to tell the children of Akira Shimizu visited his wife's grave.

[Hiro: Yes, it was me and my little sister. Can I ask for her contact?]

[Miku: .............]

[Miku: I asked Itsuki and she said she knows you. This is her contact]

[Hiro: Thank you Miku-san. Have a nice day] after thanking her, I started a new chat with Itsuki.

[Hiro: Hello Itsiki-san, good afternoon. It is me, Hiroyuki who met you with his little sister on Rena-san's grave yesterday. Do you remember?] after waiting for a minute,

[Itsuki: Hello Hiro-san. It's good to speak to you again. And yes, I remember yesterday.]

[Hiro: Good. I hope we didn't trouble you yesterday.]

[Itsuki: No no no! It is okay! I only tell my father after we left, so he didn't know about you. Speaking of father, you don't have your father's last name like your sister?]

[Hiro: Is that statement or question?]

[Itsuki: Question!]

[Hiro: Well, my sister and I have different mothers, and I am the illegitimate one. So I choose to have my mother's last name.]

[Itsuki: Oh, sorry about that one]

[Hiro: Don't worry about it :)]

After a few minutes without an answer, Itsuki replied to me once again,

[Itsuki: Do you think it is possible to meet you again? I want to tell my sisters about you.]

[Hiro: Sure! You can also meet Megumi-san as well. She would be delighted to know Rena-san's daughter. Just don't get yourself into trouble because of us please.]

[Itsuki: Thank you!]

"Let me get this straight. So, you are telling me you met Rena-san's daughter, spoke with them, and promised to meet each other at my place, and you did all of this without giving me a hint?" I can hear the displeasure tone from Megumi-san in front of me.

"Well, I think you will be happy if I tell you that you would meet them." Unfortunately, my answer only makes Megumi-san's glare worse, making me bow my head in a fear of getting scolded more than this. Kiyoko giggles loudly when she looked at me getting scolded by Megumi-san.

"I tell you keeping it secret from Megumi-san is not a good choice, but you are so stubborn to listen to me." The corner of her mouth twitched in the expression that said, 'I told you so', so I cannot help but smile wryly at her.

"I am glad that at least your sister didn't have your stubborn personality," Megumi-san muttered lowly to me. But before I can say anything, we heard the sound of the bell that let us know when the customers come.

And when we turned our attention to the one who come through the door, I can see from the corner of my eyes that Megumi-san closes her gaped mouth in shock. Even Kiyoko is not so subtle as to hide her surprised face. Not that I blame them though, because stand here in front of us five replicas of Rena-san with their unique hairstyle to differentiate each other.

The one on the left has short hair and somehow a sultry smile. Next to her is Itsuki with her star hairclips that I have met last week. In the center, there is a confident and bubbly girl with a green bandana over her head. She frowned while looking at me intently as if she knows me from somewhere. Next to her is a bored expression girl with long hair and a headphone hanging around her neck. As for the last one, she has a butterfly ribbon on her long hair. She looked at us with hostile eyes as if we stole her precious toys, and then turned her attention to Itsuki.

"So, are they the people you wanted us to meet with?" I noticed an irritation at her tone, so I decided to ignore her rudeness and introduce myself.

"Well, it is good to meet Rena-san's daughter. My name is Hiroyuki Hori, but you will probably know me as little Hiro from Rena-san's story." This time, the quintuplets snapped their attention to me with surprise.

"Wait, how can we know that you are Little Hiro as you said?" The one with the butterfly ribbon narrowed her eyes in suspicion. I snorted at that.

"I can tell you a lot of things about Rena-san that maybe only we know. For one, she could not eat any sweet foods. I still don't know why, but she never eat sweet foods until at least ten years ago, and it was a chocolate matcha tart that we made for Megumi-san's birthday. I know for a fact that while she said she didn't like it, she started to have a spot for my matcha desserts every time she visited me."

"I remember the day when we made a matcha cream daifuku. I remember Rena-san tried to steal some of it, but she was not that subtle so we packed a box full of it at the end of the day." Megumi-san chimed in.

"Oh, I know about the daifuku one! Yuki-nii often made it after we had dinner. A good one, that daifuku." Kiyoko nodded her head and approved my dessert. Our conversation seems to appease the butterfly ribbon girl by the look of her softened eyes.

"So, are you the Megu that mom often mentioned in her story?" The short-haired girl asked while her siblings take a seat. I snorted while Megumi-san twitched her mouth at the ridiculous nickname.

"While I don't know that Rena-san gave me that nickname, If she told you a story about little Hiro and Megu, it was probably about us, yeah."

"And you are?" The silent one asked Kiyoko curiously.

"My name is Kiyoko Shimizu, and I am Yuki-nii's half-sister." At the mention of Shimizu's name, all of them froze and tensed in place except Itsuki who has already known about it.

"So that is why you insisted on being here secretly." The butterfly ribbon one widened her eyes at the realization.

'My father had bad blood with their father. I will tell you about it later.' I whispered to Megumi-san who looked confused. Fortunately, I explained it to Kiyoko so she was not confused or hurt by their fearful gaze.

"Don't worry, Yuki-nii explained to me the bad relationship between our father and warned me to not give my real name to strangers for fear of the enemies my father made, so in public, you will know me as Kiyoko Hori." All five of them let out a relieved sigh at that. While this will not solve the problem, this is at least the best situation that I can think of for now.

"AAAH!! I REMEMBER NOW!! I KNOW ABOUT YOU!" The sudden shout from the bubbly girl snapped my thought, and I can see her siblings looking at her strangely.

"How do you know about me?"

"You are Japan's volleyball prince, the national tournament's last MVP, and the national team's captain during the Junior World Cup last summer, Hiroyuki Hori!"
