Chapter 3:Our Daily Lives Continue ②

The Uesugi family was walking around town during the evening. Fuutarou wanted to stay back and study, but even he couldn't say no to Raiha's pleas. Fuutarou also saw this as an opportunity to give the quints the picture book he had failed to hand out a weekend prior. Soon, they passed by a flower shop.

Raiha:"Ah, how pretty! Look, brother, aren't these flowers great?"

Fuutarou:"Yeah, haha. Say, Raiha, when did you start getting interested in flowers?"

Raiha:"It was a couple of weeks ago, while you were on your trip! I saw a bunch of them together and it was so beautiful!"

Fuutarou tries his best smile. It was great that Raiha had begun to pick up a hobby. But his smile began to drop once he saw the price tags. Raiha noticed his expression.

Raiha:"It's okay, brother. I'm fine just looking at them right now. I can start by picking them out myself if I see them in the wild."

Fuutarou put his hand over her head. He made sure that Raiha would have a good life. No matter what, he would make her dreams come true.

Fuutarou:[A little under a year until I get paid...]

Isanari:"Oh, but you're so great at cooking."

Raiha:"Jeez, dad. I'm good at it, but it was only because you're so bad at it. I don't really know if I like cooking that much..."

Fuutarou:[So Raiha is thinking about stuff like that as well. She's starting to grow up]

...

...

Raiha:"Ah, we should shop for some groceries."

Isanari:"Sure, just get what's cheapest."

Raiha:"Riiiiight."

As the family went into the store, they began to grab the materials necessary for dinner.

Raiha:"Hey, bro. Could you go get some flour?"

Fuutarou:"Sure."

Fuutarou goes 2 aisles over. As he picks up the flour, he notices hole leading to the next aisle over. Fuutarou sees two tilted shadow figures in the shape of a peace sign. He also begins to hear a voice in distress.

Fuutarou:"What is going on there?"

As he went around to see what was up, he saw Yotsuba acting weird with a piece of paper in her hand.

Yotsuba:"Geeeh, which one would Nino like more? Oh, what should I get?"

Fuutarou:"Yotsuba?"

Yotsuba:"Gah! Oh, Uesugi-san, fancy meeting you here!"

Fuutarou:"Why are you here?"

Yotsuba:"Well, it was my turn to get food."

Fuutarou:"Eh, really now. You should be studying!"

Yotsuba:"Geh! I swear I'm keeping up!"

Fuutarou:"You'll need more help, I can tell. You're going to be a part of that relay race right after exams, aren't you?"

Yotsuba:"N-No..."

Fuutarou stares daggers at her, causing Yotsuba to slowly crumble.

Yotsuba:"I-I was asked to...and I couldn't say no."

Fuutarou:"I knew it. Well, you like running, so that's not surprising."

Yotsuba:"Yeah...I like it..."

Fuutarou:"You're a terrible liar, so don't think you can keep things from me."

Yotsuba:"I...I know. I'm such a terrible actor, haha!"
