Hourglass [Quintessential Quintuplets]

Chapter 19 - Trouble in Paradise (Ⅲ)

Fuutarou's POV:

"I'm leaving Fuutarou, Yotsuba. You two don't need to stick around for cafe anymore. Why don't you both go enjoy the festival together?"

CRASH!

''Do you think he'll make it, Uesugi-san?''

"He's talented, Yotsuba. He knows how to avoid drawing attention for a certain level." I reply, arms crossed. "Also, with a body like that, no one's going to suspect he's actually a boy."

Even with a few hiccups, Asuka dashed out of the classroom. He really shouldn't be running around in that maid outfit.

And so, it was just me, Yotsuba, and the rest of the café staff left in the classroom. To be honest, I only wanted to get revenge for that sucker punch Nino gave me! How was I supposed to know things would escalate this far?!

Then I feel it. That ominous aura radiating beside me. ''Y-Yotsuba...!?''

''He's prettier than the five of us as a boy. He's prettier than the five of us as a girl too. What's fair about that now? Hmpf!''

''Are you jealous?''

"Of course I am, Uesugi-san! Didn't you see those huge boobs? There are girls out there who would kill for a chest like that!"

I let out an awkward laugh, a single sweatdrop sliding down my temple. ''A-Ahaha...'' She's not wrong, though. Asuka's appearance are so absurdly flawless, it's like his genes perfectly created. Too flawless to be real. His personality... well, that's a whole other discussion.

I turn my head to the clock. It's time for the cafe to close, we can't go any further for today. They put me in the cash register since I'm good at math, but it's weird when you see your best friend in a miniskirt all day.

However! Thanks to the new maid, our customer count has almost quadrupled. This means more money left for us if we subtract the school expenses! I'll finally be able to eat properly...Thank goodness. Still, only I know exactly why he just dashed out like crazy. It's because of what we discussed with Itsuki yesterday.

''I can pratically feel the cash.''
