While eating, Mochizuki also learned.
The Five Sisters were assigned to five different classes.
It seems the school was quite considerate, after all, they look exactly alike.
If they were in the same class, the sensei and classmates probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
It would cause a lot of inconvenience.
Mochizuki sighed, thinking it was good there were over 300 students in the grade, with 10 classes.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough classes for them, The Five Sisters alone took up five classes.
The eldest sister, Ichika, said teasingly with a playful smile.
"Wang Yue Table Brother, aren't you very honored to eat with the five of us!"
Mochizuki felt the gazes around him.
"Spare me, I won't dare to eat with you next time!"
"What, you don't know how to cherish this? How many people want to eat with us sisters!"
"Exactly."
"Yoru, you're guilty!"
"Yoru Table Brother, you got a good deal but are still acting coy."
Nino, Miku, and Yotsuba also nodded repeatedly.
As for May, she was, of course, quietly eating her meal. Her small mouth chewed the food, and a slight oily sheen could be seen around her lips. The cafeteria food made May quite satisfied.
For the first time, Mochizuki found May so pleasing to the eye. Looking at the cowlick on top of her head, he even wanted to pat it as a reward.
"Indeed, men don't cherish what comes easily."
Ichika continued to tease Mochizuki.
"Hurry and eat! I still have to show you around the campus later!"
After the meal, Mochizuki took The Five Sisters around the campus, letting them familiarize themselves with it.
Of course, when they occasionally met a few students, their gazes were unavoidable, and even the sensei looked on in surprise.
Fortunately, there weren't many people during lunchtime; most had gone to rest.
For example, Kasumigaoka Utaha was resting on the rooftop, but the person she wanted to see didn't arrive.
After completing the task of showing The Five Sisters around the campus, Mochizuki also returned to the classroom.
He still had to rewrite an essay for Shizuka Hiratsuka!
Mochizuki took out his phone and searched, finding a sample essay. Of course, he couldn't copy it directly, so he prepared to adapt it before submitting it to Shizuka Hiratsuka.
After school in the afternoon, Mochizuki arrived at the Service Club, which he hadn't visited in a while.
Mochizuki skillfully knocked on the door, then pushed it open and entered.
Besides Yukino Yukinoshita, another person had already arrived at the Service Club before him.
It was Yui Yuigahama.
Mochizuki thought to himself, Yui Yuigahama is even more active than he is. It seems she wants to replace his position in the Service Club.
Yukino Yukinoshita glanced and saw it was Mochizuki. Her face was expressionless, but she was thinking about the chance encounter during the holiday.
Yui Yuigahama, on the other hand, was very surprised.
"You're, Xiao Wang?"
Mochizuki also thought of the holiday encounter with Yui Yuigahama.
"Yeah, what's wrong."
"Eh!!! No way! It's only been a few days of holiday, and Xiao Wang has changed so much!"
Yui Yuigahama covered her mouth and shouted loudly, looking disbelieving.
Yukino Yukinoshita, helpless, covered her ears.
"How is it big? I just got a haircut."
Mochizuki didn't expect Yui Yuigahama to be so surprised. She probably didn't recognize that the person during the holiday was him, he said casually.
Yui Yuigahama thought for a moment.
"But, it seems, not only has your complexion improved, you've also become handsome."
How could his complexion not improve? Ever since Shiina Mahiru came, Mochizuki ate on time every day and no longer ate instant noodles and junk food.
During the holiday, he even had plenty of fish and meat.
"Ahaha, thank you for the compliment."
"Hmm, you were a bit gloomy before, I didn't expect a haircut to have such a big effect, right, Yukino."
Yukino?
It seems their relationship got closer quickly over the holiday!
"Mm."
"Yukino, you're so cold, aren't you surprised?"
Yui Yuigahama spoke, both confused and a little hurt.
Yukino Yukinoshita was naturally not surprised, after all, she had known a few days ago.
Mochizuki sat back in his usual spot and took a sip of black tea.
"Ah!"
It was the familiar taste.
He glanced at Yukinoshita. It seemed she hadn't told Yui Yuigahama about meeting him.
"It's a good thing for Wangyue Member to know he needs to make changes."
Mochizuki: "Uh-huh..."
Yui Yuigahama shook her head: "Change? What change?"
"Did you change from an otaku to a normie?"
Then, Yui Yuigahama seemed to think of something.
From her spot near Yukinoshita, she moved her chair closer to Mochizuki, observing him with her pink eyes.
"Hey, what are you doing, getting so close to me?"
Mochizuki felt guilty. Could she have discovered something?
Fortunately, Yukinoshita saw how close the two were.
She reminded Yui Yuigahama.
"Getting so close to him, be careful your chastity isn't compromised."
This scared Yui Yuigahama, making her retreat repeatedly. Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she moved her chair back to her original spot.
"Cha... chastity... I'm clearly still a vir... vir... virgin..."
Yui Yuigahama couldn't bring herself to say the rest of the words.
"There's nothing to be shy about, being a virgin at this age..."
"Ah, Yukino, don't say it, it's so embarrassing..."
Yukinoshita's words were cut off by the blushing Yui Yuigahama before she could finish.
This made Mochizuki unhappy. You slander me as soon as I come back from vacation.
"Hey, Yukinoshita, that's slander!"
"Hmph."
Then, Mochizuki looked at Yukino Yukinoshita's threatening gaze, seemed to realize something, and actually fell silent.
A smug smile appeared on Yukinoshita's lips, while Yui Yuigahama was still immersed in her shyness.
...
Yukino Yukinoshita picked up the book on the table and started reading again.
Mochizuki noticed it out of the corner of his eye, feeling the cover looked a bit familiar.
He was immediately a little surprised.
Isn't this Kasumigaoka Utaha's "love meter"?
Yukino Yukinoshita was actually reading a light novel, and she bought Kasumigaoka Utaha's work, not his own.
This made Mochizuki a little unwilling.
That's right, maybe she didn't like the theme.
"You read light novels too?"
"Is that not allowed?"
"Ahem, of course you can. I didn't expect you to like campus romance-themed works. What do you think of this book?"
"Hm?"
Yukino Yukinoshita was a little confused by the question. She flipped the book cover and looked at the title and author.
"You've read it? I just started."
"I've read a bit, just asking casually."
Mochizuki still planned to hear Yukino Yukinoshita's opinion so he could discuss it with Kasumigaoka Utaha next time...
Yui Yuigahama also returned to her normal state.
"Yukino, what are you reading? I want to read it too!"
"I'll lend it to you after I finish!"
"Yay!"
...
"By the way, have you heard? We have new transfer students at our school today."
Yui Yuigahama was a little excited and spoke in a mysterious tone, wanting to pique Mochizuki's and Yukino Yukinoshita's attention.
