Collector of Anime: The Demon-Subduing Chef

"Oh——"

"Very sleepy"

"If I keep staying up late like this, I will get wrinkles, right?"

Nino couldn't help but yawn.

The faint dark circles under her eyes made her, who always paid attention to skin care, alert.

She came to the shrine to pray for blessings and was busy with other things, not even bringing a mask.

Nino walked to the mirror and carefully looked at her tight skin.

It was still as smooth and white as before, without any flaws.

"Forget it, let's get some rest as soon as possible."

Nino was so satisfied that she could hardly open her eyes.

She turned off the lights and fell into a lingering sleepiness.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Oh, who is not sleeping so late at night!"

Nino was woken up with an angry look on her face, staring at the wooden door with unfriendly eyes.

"Nino, it's me!"

Hearing Ichika's voice, Nino impatiently opened the door

"I have something to discuss with you!"

As soon as she opened the wooden door, Nino saw Ichika saying with a serious face

"Please, if there is something, can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

"I am so tired that I can't open my eyes now."

Nino complained while squinting her eyes and forcing herself to cheer up.

Seeing this, Ichika clenched her fists, shocked by Nino's boldness. I am so tired that I can't open my eyes!

How can such a thing be said openly!

Doesn't Nino have any sense of shame in her heart!

Woo woo woo...

Mother, I am so sorry.

Under my care, Nino actually grew up to have such a personality.

Ichika, who was trembling inside, did not expect Nino to be so arrogant!

"Nino! What you just did, I...I……"

"I have seen everything!"

Ichika mustered up her courage and stared at Nino's face.

No matter what, she had to correct Nino's mistake!

As long as Nino admitted her mistake humbly, maybe things would turn around.

Who knew...

Nino, who only wanted to rest, had already become slow in thinking.

Just now?

She thought Ichika was talking about the scene where she saw her chatting with Yang No.

"Oh, that thing!"

"What's wrong?"

Nino thought for a moment, then said nonchalantly.

Such an unscrupulous expression and tone immediately shocked Ichika.

Why... why can you use such a nonchalant tone!

I thought I would see Nino apologize in a panic, and then repent.

As a result, not only did she not apologize, she also jumped in the face and mocked.

Ichika, who was shocked, couldn't help but take two steps back.

At this moment, Nino was so strange that it was scary!

Thousands of words gathered in my heart, but they were blocked by Nino at once.

"You...you...even if you don't care about other things……"

"Then you have to take into consideration the relationship between us sisters, right?"

"Aren't you worried about hurting us?"

Nino frowned at the fierce words.

She was confused and didn't think about anything else.

Just a heart-to-heart talk with Miss Yang No, how could there be such terrible consequences.

Oh!

I guess they are talking about the assassins of the Matsushita Group.

If they are found to be close to the Yukinoshita family, they might be hated and implicate the Nakano family.

"What you said does make sense."

The sudden softening tone gave Ichika a glimmer of hope.

It means that Nino still cares about the relationship between the quintuplets!

"But we only do that in private, so no one else can see it."

Then he changed the subject.

Snap -

Ichika's smile completely shattered.

Her worldview also shattered with it.

Is this... is this a question of whether it's private or not?

So you're still expecting to do it in public, right?

"What happened between you...……"

In fact, Ichika probably guessed that it might be because of the stay that day.

After all, Nino's character is decisive, and once she makes a decision, it is difficult to pull it back.

But she still wants to know how deep Nino has fallen.

"Huh?"

How did the relationship between her and Yang No develop?

"Nothing special, just tried it out and found that we get along well."

Ichika was shocked.

Just tried it out?

Why could Nino say such a thing without changing her expression?

Could it be that she was too focused on herself and forgot about her sister's education?

"How long will it last?"

After a moment of silence, Ichika still managed to ask

"What's the point of talking about continuity? Just chat if you have a chance to meet in private."

Nino lay on the bed and turned over casually.

Hugging the quilt, Nino's voice gradually became lower.

However, Ichika was fidgeting.

Just chat if you have a chance to meet in private? How to chat? Is this how you chat?

Ichika was stunned and didn't know how to describe Nino.

"So when I saw you, you... you weren't at all nervous?"

"Why are you so nervous? If Ichika wants to, why don't they just come together?"

Nino, who was in a daze, muttered incoherently.

And Ichika was completely numb.

Nino actually wanted to drag herself and Kuchiki-kun together!

She wouldn't want to drag Miku... No... Maybe the quintuplets together!

Even someone as calm as Ichika couldn't help but gasp.

Good news, Nino still cares about the feelings of the five sisters.

Bad news, she cares too much.

Hearing this, Ichika stood there for a long time, not saying a word.

"What about Miku?"

When these words came out,

Nino had already fallen asleep with her blanket in her arms. She was still mumbling words like"Kuchiki".

Ichika closed the wooden door in despair and walked back to her room.

She tried to persuade Nino to fight, but she collapsed completely.

In contrast, Yukino and Haruno were unexpectedly peaceful.

Because neither of them mentioned the topic of Kuchiki.

"Yukino, do you think you can successfully convince Kuchiki-kun to take action tomorrow?"

Yono, knowing the result, asked in a fake tone.

"Although he has extraordinary strength at a young age, I believe that Kuchiki-kun still cares about the friendship between classmates."

"If she used the topic of classmate relationship to persuade him, Kuchiki-kun would not ignore it. After all, his power is estimated to be able to crush the Matsushita Group!"

Yukinoshita Yukino naturally knew that Kuchiki Tsukasa would definitely agree.

But if she said it openly, wouldn't it be easy for her sister to notice it?

So she had to find a reason that seemed quite reasonable.
