Mash-Up: Anything for Money

Nino & Ichika & Miku: "Huh?"

"Shiratori-sensei said that Otosaka Yuu can steal the abilities of other ability users, and right now he's stealing the abilities of the entire world, so Hoshino Umi has already lost its original purpose..."

"And because of the overload on his brain, Otosaka Yuu will risk losing control in the future. Shiratori-sensei needs to play a backup role."

"Anyway... it's really dangerous..." Itsuki hesitated, she didn't want her boyfriend to do such things.

Nino was confused. Why does Itsuki know all this? Logically speaking, shouldn't she have just brushed it off casually?

Didn't we agree to treat everyone the same?!

Nino looked at Hakuto and felt like he was hiding things from her! Hiding things!!

But it was at this moment that Nino fully understood just how dangerous the things Hakuto was about to do were.

"Does Shiratori... really have to go?" Miku looked lost. 

She didn't care much about whether the world was at peace or not; in her eyes, Hakuto's safety was the most important!

"With great power comes great responsibility?" Ichika smiled, "This does seem a bit different from the Hakuto I remember."

"Damn, isn't this guy only around sixteen or seventeen, just like us?" Nino had a look of frustration on her face.

"Does he really have to go?" Miku asked again.

"He must go..." Itsuki nodded, "But Shiratori-sensei said he'll come back safely..."

"Shiratori said he could register marriages with all of us... using the power of his abilities..." Nino chimed in.

"I don't want him to go..." Miku shook her head. 

She didn't care much about marriage registration, but Itsuki's words about danger made Miku's heart tremble. 

She instinctively didn't want Hakuto to leave.

"Alright, Miku..." Ichika patted Miku's head, "It's fine."

To be honest, even Ichika didn't believe that herself. After all, she didn't understand the specifics of abilities, and the worried expression on Itsuki's face wasn't fake.

"What are you worried about?" Nino stood up from the floor and patted her skirt, 

"If worse comes to worst, we'll lock up Shiratori and interrogate him thoroughly. This guy dared to hide so much from me, I haven't even settled things with him yet!"

"It's time to go. Shiratori-sensei and Yotsuba should be waiting impatiently by now..."

"Just to make it clear!" Nino declared beforehand, "No one is allowed to make any moves until Yotsuba is taken down!"

Itsuki raised an eyebrow: "Isn't the one most likely to make unnecessary moves here you, Nino?"

"Hah? Who was it who sneaked into Shiratori's room last night?"

"That... I just couldn't sleep. Besides, I didn't do anything..."

"Anyway... no moves allowed!"

"Sigh~ If nothing else, we'll all sleep together. After all, didn't you say Shiratori-sensei's body has been enhanced?"

"Wh... what do you mean by sleeping together?"

"Ichika!"

"Tch, you have no shame!"

"Huh? I was seriously offering a suggestion!"

Tonight, the five sisters each had their own thoughts.

Nino: Ahh! If I don't make a move today, I'm not Nakano!

Huh? What do you mean no unnecessary moves? This is serious business!

Miku: I'm dating Shiratori...

Itsuki: Can I still go to sleep at Shiratori-sensei's place tonight? Is that considered unnecessary?

Ichika: Can't we just sleep together? We're this familiar with each other anyway~

Yotsuba: The Three Kingdoms game is so fun! (This child is hopeless!)

At the dinner table that evening, Hakuto felt that this meal was quite uncomfortable.

Because, under the table, someone kept kicking him. 

Although Hakuto could tell who was kicking him, there was no need to look, because everyone except Yotsuba had kicked him!

"Hey! Who kicked me?"

Well, even Yotsuba got kicked. He couldn't tell if it was intentional or accidental.

Hakuto furrowed his brows and looked at the tense atmosphere. It seemed like only Yotsuba could actually eat her meal.

"Yotsuba..." Hakuto said indifferently.

"Yes! What's up, Shiratori-sensei?"

"Could you go upstairs to your room and get the rubber band I left on the table?"

"Huh? Shiratori-sensei is going to tie his hair? I have some extras here..."

Hakuto waved his hand, rejecting her: "No need, I'm not used to others'. Hurry up and go."

"Got it!" Yotsuba gave an imperfect salute, stuck out her tongue, put down her bowl, and rushed upstairs.

As soon as Yotsuba left, the balance among the five was instantly shattered, and chaos broke out!

"Hakuto! What happened to treating everyone the same? Why did you tell Itsuki and hide it from me?"

"Are you talking about Otosaka Yuu? I was planning to tell you later, just hadn't found the right time..."

"Then why did you hide the whole Tomori Nao thing from me?"

"Haha... Miku, you know it wasn't intentional..."

"What about me? Was I the one you were trying to hide things from?"

"Why didn't you tell me about the abilities?"

"(๑°3°๑)～"

Hakuto chose not to say anything more, but the next second, he still reminded them.

"Yotsuba will be back soon..."

"Hah? What does that matter? Everyone's here, just tell Yotsuba the truth!"

"Nino's right."

"After telling Yotsuba, we'll all sleep together tonight!"

Hakuto instinctively swallowed. Why did he feel like he was a sheep entering a wolf's den?!

"Don't scare Yotsuba, and she might not even agree..."

Nino waved her hand: "Hah? You don't need to worry about that. I've already checked out Yotsuba's stance."

"And with four people on your side, 4 to 1, what are you worried about?"

"Shh~ Nino, Yotsuba's coming back!"

Just as Itsuki finished speaking, Yotsuba hurried down from upstairs, holding a black rubber band.

"Shiratori-sensei... I couldn't find the rubber band on the table, but I found a black one of mine..."

"Huh? Nino, why are you grabbing Shiratori-sensei's collar?"

Yotsuba scratched her head, confused by Nino's actions.

"And... Miku, Ichika, your eyes look strange..."

Even Yotsuba, who was usually oblivious, felt that something was off.

Ichika pulled Yotsuba back to the dining table and said.

"Cough, cough! Yotsuba, let me tell you something, don't get excited."

"Such a mystery..."

"Yotsuba, the four of us might not be Nakano anymore soon..."

"Mm..."

"Ichika's right."

"Seems like that's the case..."

"Huh(゜ロ゜)?"

Yotsuba originally thought it was some prank, but when she saw the serious expressions on the others, she hesitated.

"What do you mean? Did Dad marry into the family?"

"No, no, I mean, Yotsuba, you'll still be a Nakano, but the four of us are going to change our surname soon."

"Huh(゜ロ゜)?" Yotsuba was very confused, not understanding what Ichika meant.

"Did Dad marry into the family and abandon me?"
