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. He knows how to avoid drawing attention for a certain level if actually tries." I folded my arms and let out a breath through my nose. "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 like his life depended on it.
He really shouldn't be sprinting around the school in a maid outfit. 

And so it was just me, Yotsuba, and the rest of the café staff drifting between tables, wiping down trays, stacking mismatched saucers. To be honest, the whole thing started because I wanted get revenge for that sucker punch Nino had given me the other day. How was the hell 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 along with 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 glanced up at the clock on the wall . 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.''
