Chapter 25: Chapter 25

"Oh, so you know about me? You must be volleyball fans." I said with a surprised tone, trying to ignore the ridiculous nickname I have. Unfortunately, Kiyoko and Megumi-san noticed that nickname and snickered,

"Japan's volleyball prince? Since when did you have that nickname, Yuki-nii?" Kiyoko asked teasingly.

"Well, I don't know where or when it started, but I remember the girls from Nekoma whispered that name to her friends when they are around me right after we won the national tournament. As to who was the one that give me the nickname, I don't know anything about it." I shrugged.

"So you are the REAL Hiroyuki Hori?" We turned our attention back to the bubbly girl who looked at me with awe.

"If by what you mean real is Hiroyuki Hori, the former captain of Nekoma volleyball team, indeed I am."

"I cannot believe it is real! I am a huge fan of yours! I even brought your national team jersey!" I sweatdropped at her enthusiasm.

"Well, thank you for being fans of mine. But do you mind telling us all of your names?" The mood turned awkwardly as the quintuplets turned at each other sheepishly, clearly forgetting about that.

"I am sorry about that one. My name is is Ichika Nakano, and I am the oldest out of all five of us." The short-haired one introduces herself first.

"I am Yotsuba Nakano, nice to meet you Hiro-san!" The bubbly girl shouted excitedly. I winced at that and groaned inwardly, 'Great, another Hinata'.

"You know me before, but I am Itsuki Nakano, the youngest one."

"M-Miku Nakano.." The headphone girl introduces herself meekly. I raised my eyebrow slightly at her, knowing how loud and colorful she could talk in the internet forum.

"..... Nino Nakano." The last one who introduced herself is the butterflies girl who did it hesitantly. I still can see the distrust in her eyes, but at least it is better than before we introduce ourselves.

"Well, what do you want to eat?" Megumi-san chimed in while smiling. This snapped our attention to the menu on the table.

"Matcha and white chocolate terrine with mochaccino for me please."

"Cheesecake and hot chocolate please."

"I want a fruit parfait!"

"Same for me."

"Caesar salad for me please."

"Napolitana and strawberry milkshake please."

"I want beef kebabs two, chocolate mochi, fruit parfait, and hot chocolate please." We turned our attention to Itsuki who ordered the last and stared at her strangely while she blushed at that. Megumi-san smiles and replied,

"Thank you for your order, please wait for a while." And she left us in awkward silence.

"So… How old are you? All of you, I mean." I started the conversation. The quintuplets looked at each other as if they are discussing who want to be their spokesperson telepathically before Yotsuba replied,

"We are 13 years old."

"So you are probably at the end of middle school right?" Seeing as they nodded, I carried on my questions for them, "Which high school do you want to go to?" Surprisingly, all of them grimaced at that question, so I cannot help but be concerned,

"What's wrong?" Yotsuba replied to this question quickly, too quick that it left me concerned and a bit suspicious about their condition.

"Nothing wrong with us! We are still discussing it, right girl?" They all nodded, but by the look on their stressed face, I can tell they are facing a big problem.

"You know, Megumi-san and I, we owed a lot to your mother, and we could never pay for it to her. So if you have a problem or something that we can help, we will gladly do that without question, as long as it is legal of course." They nodded hesitantly, unsure whether to trust me or not.

"If you girls have a problem with your school work, I can help with that," Kiyoko added, resulting in the girls flinching more. 'So they do have a problem regarding school work. Good job Kiyo-chan.' I nodded, approving Kiyoko's offer.

"You don't have to agree with our help right now, but since we live in Miyagi, we will leave you our contact and you can send us a massage whenever you want. We will also come here every week if possible, so you can meet us. What do you think?" Surprisingly, it is Nino who replied,

"Thank you for your offer. We will think about it later." She nodded gratefully to us.

"Are you good at studying?" Itsuki asked curiously, resulting in an amused smile from Kiyoko.

"Well, I am confident enough about my schoolwork. In fact, I was in the top ten in the rank for the mock-up test from Tohoku University last month." This time, I too, look at her surprised,

"Really? And you didn't find it important to tell me?"

"It was just a mock-up test, so I don't want to be overconfident. I only want to tell you when it matters most." She shrugged nonchalantly. I shake my head, clearly disapproving of her action, but leave it for later.

"Woah!! You are so smart, Kiyoko-san!" Itsuki gleamed at her. It seems out of the five siblings she is the one with strong academic.

"Thank you for your compliment. But I think Yuki-nii is way smarter than me." This time, all of the quintuplets looked at me interested,

"How do you know about that?" I narrowed my eyes. But she just rolled her eyes seeing my reaction.

"It is not that hard to guess. The non-fiction part in our home is a difficult subject to read, and you need to be smart to understand it. Added with your two language certificates, and your old academic records that I found in your room, it tells me a lot about your intelligence."

"Awesome… You both are so smart. I am jealous of you." Itsuki looked at us in awe. Kiyoko smiles warmly, trying to reassure her.

"I can help you if you want to improve your school work."

"Really?" Itsuki's eyes shine brightly, making her siblings giggle in amusement.

"Yup, really. You can chat with me anytime you like, and I will be with Yuki-nii whenever he wants to be here."

"Thank you, Kiyoko-san!" She jumped out of her chair and hugged Kiyoko tightly.

"I am glad that you are getting along well. Here is your order. Enjoy." Megumi-san comes from behind with a fragrant smell that makes our mouths watery. And when the food came to our table, I can see the bulged eyes of the quintuplets.

"Not only the smell is good, but the presentation of this food is also magnificent. You are a good cook, Megumi-san." Ichika gives her a compliment as she looked at her Caesar salad. Megumi-san beamed in pride and replied,

"Thank you for your compliment dear. It is nice of you."

"Wow, this parfait is good. Are you the one who cooked all of this?" Nino asked eagerly. It seems she is the one with a passion for cooking. Well, at least the only one I don't know anything about is the oldest one, Ichika.

"If you are asking about the one who cooked, it is indeed me. But the recipe for the desserts was not coming from me. It was from Hiro and your mother, Rena-san." They all look surprised.

"Really?" This time, I decided to chime in

"Yup. Your mother could not eat anything sweet, so I learned to make a lot of desserts for your mother. Later when she knew about my intention, she decided to help me, and the result is what you are eating right now."

"Wow! You are good at everything, Hiro-san!" Itsuki talked with a mouth full of food, which resulted in slapping from Ichika,

"Itsuki, your manner please." Scolded Ichika.

"So, you cooked this with mom before?" Nino asked with interested eyes.

"Yup. She even thought me how to make a good presentation above the plate. It was a good time." I smile at the nostalgic memories. We spent the entire evening talking about anything that we found interesting before Nino reminded them of the time.

"Don't worry. We will meet again next week." I said when I looked at the drop faces from the quintuplets.

"You can call us anytime you like." Kiyoko smiles warmly, which is reflected in the quintuplet's face.

"You can also come here whenever you want. I will be glad to have you here." Megumi-san added, which resulted in Itsuki squealing in delight and the grateful look from her siblings. Then, out of the quintuplets, Nino moved forward and bowed hesitantly to us,

"Thank you, all of you. For helping even if you don't know anything about us." Well, it clearly surprised all of us, because Nino is the one who looked at us suspiciously from the start.

"Sure, you can also ask Megumi-san to teach you how to cook if you want." It seems I hit the spot because of her beamed eyes.

After they leave the Den, Megumi-san dragged me, demanding an explanation for the quintuplet's behavior toward my father. After hearing my explanation, she sighed defeatedly.

"Your father made a mess. Their father is one of the richest men in the country right now, and he can ruin all of us within a second."

"Like we don't know about that," Kiyoko muttered wryly at the mention of our father.

"Well, it could not be helped though. So for now, we need to be careful around them. But I think they don't have a good relationship with their father." Kiyoko and Megumi-san narrowed their eyes at my suspicion.

"Do tell, please."

"For one, they always winced whenever I mentioned their father, and they have a frightened look when we asked about their school. You also saw the controlled manner of Ichika and the always suspicious gaze from Nino that definitely unnerved you. They also winced whenever someone other than Yotsuba raised their voice. So based on that, tell me your guess."

"Do you think they are abused?" Megumi-san growled at my suspicion.

"I don't know about that. But I can guess that the idea of avoiding their father is a welcome one. That is why the five of them are very happy when you told them they can come here whenever they want."

"So, what do we do now?" Kiyoko asked, unsure of what to think about the quintuplets.

"For now, we cannot help much until we know their problems. So Megumi-san, please treat them well in the future." I asked, which get an unhesitant nod from her.

"I will try to find out what is their problem and make an emergency plan just in case something bad happened to the quintuplets. As for you, Kiyoko, by the fear in their eyes when we mentioned the school work, I think either they are bad at it or their father pushed them too far for it. Please help them as much as you can." She nodded determinedly.

After spending about fifteen minutes discussing the quintuplets matter, we decided to leave and go back to Miyagi. On the journey back home, I cannot help but remember Rena-san and her resemblance with the quintuplets. Well, if the quintuplets have even half of what Rena-san had in personality, their presence will definitely make the future more interesting, I mused.
