The 3rd Meets the Five (Quintessential Quintuplets Story)

Chapter 30

Third POV

[It's the day before we leave for the camping trip. I've begun packing my things. I'm seriously scared about this trip. I hope to make some good memories out of this trip anyway. How am I going to solve my situation? I made a promise to five different girls. I wonder if they've figured it out yet. With my luck, they probably already did. As I'm packing, I get a call from Futaro]

Third: Hello?

[Futaro]: Third? Is that you?

Third: It is. How did you get my number?

[Futaro]: I asked a favor of Itsuki. Listen, my sister is sick and I don't have enough money for medicine. Do you mind getting some for me and bringing it over?

Third: No problem. I'll get some. Just text me your address.

[Futaro]: Thanks.

[I get the medicine. Futaro texts me his address and I head straight over. I knock on the door and Futaro answers]

Third: Hey. Where are your parents?

Futaro: We just live with my dad. He isn't coming home tonight.

Third: Oh. Okay.

[Raiha lies down on a futon. She looks cute normally but this is ridiculous. She moves around after she hears my voice]

Raiha: Is that Third?

Third: Hey, Raiha. I'm here. I got your medicine.

Raiha: Thank you. Means a lot.

Third: Well, I guess I got to get going.

[I get up to leave]

Raiha: Don't go.

Third: But I have to.

Raiha: Please don't.

[Raiha looked at me. Her eyes may have been closed but I could still see those eyes. I couldn't refuse]

Third: Fine. I'll stay for a little while.

[Futaro smiles at me]

Futaro: Thanks for staying.

Third: It's hard to say "no" to her.

Futaro: You look like you got something on your mind. Want to talk about it?

Third: I guess. Apparently I knew the Nakano sisters before all of this.

Futaro: Wow.

Third: Yeah. I made a promise to each of them that I'd marry them.

Futaro: All of them?

Third: I didn't do it on purpose. They all just looked the same way back then.

Futaro: That is a tough situation. So, who do you like best?

Third: I don't have a favorite.

Raiha: I say you should marry Miku!

Futaro: You should be sleeping!

Raiha: I can't when something like this is brought up. Third, you should marry Miku.

Third: Why?

Raiha: You two are mostly the same!

Futaro: But two positives repel each other. Opposites attract.

Third: Do you have to be smart all the time?

Futaro: Well, if opposites attract, then the best person for you would Yotsuba.
