Bondage: Quintessential Quintuplets

Duel[Chap 9]

[That should wrap up everything I had planned today. Since this is our first technical lesson as a group, homework will be on the lesser side. Finish it up before Tuesday, which should be when I am coming again.]

[Haaaaaiiiiii!]

[Hnnngghhhhhh~~ahhhhh. That wasn't so bad actually. Though that was really tiring for me.]

Ichika stretched out her arms vertically, releasing a satisfying cracking noise from all the bones from her shoulder to her fingers; and letting out a drowsy yawn. The eldest quint was not exactly very enthusiastic about skipping on her usual afternoon beauty sleep, but today was an exception.

[You are always tired...]

[But it was worth it! It's been only two hours but I can already feel my brain expanding more than ever!]

[Have you ever paid attention in school classes before...]

[Hmmmmm. I am pretty sure I have.] [Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)]

Yotsuba says while her ribbons stick up like antennas gathering information.

(Pretty sure...)

Fuutarou sighs.

[But it is true! What I meant was that your lessons are really helpful! Classes in school are so fast that everything just flies over my head and I don't learn anything.]

[Well the only reason why I can slow down for you is that I am a tutor. I can afford to take more time to go through certain points more carefully. You can't compare these two things even if they are similar. Tutoring and schooling can be quite different.]

Fuutarou replies.

[Well if that is the case, why don't we just quit school and have you teach us full time! By the time graduation final comes we will be able to pass with swimming colours!]

[*sigh* First of all it is flying colours, and next your idea is a terrible one.]

[Ehhhhhhh—why is that?] [￢з￢]

Yotsuba pouts back.

[What would be the point in even graduating if you aren't even going to a proper school!?]

[Oooohhh... Never thought of that.]

[*sigh* There is no need to think about that anymore. Finish up your work and show up at school on Monday.]

[Understood, Uesugi-sensei!]

[What happened to Shindo?]

[Huh? Oh he said he's got something going on right now and couldn't make it. Didn't specify what he was doing or why it was so important he had to skip...] [╬ ≖_≖]

A vein began bursting out to be visible on Fuutarou's forehead.

[I see...]

[Did I miss something between you guys? I don't remember Miku caring so much about studying or you two until today. Speaking of which, I thought you were going to show up today. What changed?]

[It's nothing. I was just curious why only one of our tutors showed up.]

[Are you sure about that~~]

Ichika blinked slyly towards the middle child. This is the standard amount of probing that would get her sisters to crack.

[Yes. And I will continue to stand by it.]

[*sigh* It was worth a shot.] [┐(─∀─)┌]

[Speaking of missing people, are those two still refusing to join?]
