You know if this guy was American I can see him with black hair and the sides by his ears are all silver. Wears fancy suits, blonde haired wife, and in his free time on the gold course. Then the famous words of, "I forbid you to go out with that hoodlum." It just me?

Enjoy.

Another routine school day coming to a close. Everyone getting out of the class at the final bell to the next part of the day. Some going to the library or clubs, but most were getting out of there. Including four girls and a guy with dark hair getting into a limousine. Strange enough it was all considered normal. The limo was coming to the school twice a day for six days a week. Everyone was getting used to it. 

The driver did a head count. "Five today? No six or seven?" He asked.

"This is it." Called Ichika the older sister.

"Right away. Thank you." With that he checked his mirrors and drove away.

The driver of the limo was the friend and assistant to Father. The one who was supporting all five quinns. Though it was interesting on how the word "support" came about. Technology is well advanced. But to only have communication with them by calling them once in a while and having your assistant do the work is not being hands on. Living in a different house adds icing to the cake. Then not knowing their interests, who cooks the best, friendships, boys, and everything else was the lettering on the top, candles, and other decorations.

The assistant came into the office of Maruo Nakano. He was filing paperwork at his desk. "I am back sir."

"Ebata. Very good. Five passengers I hope." Said Maruo going into a file cabinet. (Yes Ebata is the name via Wiki)

"Four girls and the tutor sir." Said Ebata nervously.

Maruo closed the cabinet shut. "What!?"

"I was told that was everyone from the oldest."

"So which one of the girls did you not bring home?"

"Nino sir."

"Why? Another time in the library alone with that boy? How could this be? What project are they working on? They don't even have any classes together. Is this for his own project? What do I pay him for?" Maruo was getting highly annoyed.

"You pay the boy that was in your limo sir." Correctly Ebata.

"Regardless." He boomed. "Why would I pay him if she is not there at the house?"

"That other boy isn't keeping the check Maruo. He doesn't collect any of it. He is just happy to be around."

"So what if he is not around? What is he doing to Nino? What is their professional relationship? It's improper for them to constantly be alone."

Ebata wanted to settle everything down. "But Maruo. He too is a good student. Not the best, but with one less girl he gets to help them. You know how much they struggle. Realizing that they have different weaknesses. If Nino has one on one time outside work and she improves that's why these boys are around. Or any boy. Or if it's a woman who's in a college major. Anything."

"One on one could be done at their house I pay for."

"The girls could bring a boy into the house and you wouldn't know."

Ebata was right. They could. And he wouldn't know it. They have flunked and been bad students all of this time. How many had an interest of going to college? Could any of them bring friends over or a guy they met? These were questions he did not know. And with him being a busy man to the point where he orders his assistant to drive them to school to home and home to school six days a week plus an odd trip here and there, all of that was unanswered. The big-shot businessman had not a clue. Knew that one was athletic, someone had to have cooked, and all of them needed help to raise their GPAs (Grade Point Averages).
