Yotsuba: "Ah, ohayou—!"
Fuutarou: "You're late."
Oh, today Ichika-san is also here…
That means, only the most troublesome Nino-san is left…
How on earth can we get Nino-san to join class…?
Yotsuba: "I'm fully prepared—!"
Ichika: "I'll at least watch for now."
Ah, ah~…
So, it still doesn't mean they'll participate in the lessons…
Fuutarou: "Well, just staying here is already something."
Nino: "Ah, here you are again? Don't fall asleep like last time, okay?"
Fuutarou: "..." (Annoyed)
W-wait, calm down—!?
Fuutarou: "You actually drugged me last time…! cough cough!"
Good! I held it in!!
Fuutarou: "How about it, Nino! Why don't you also…"
Nino: "Not even if I die."
Fuutarou: "Then today it's just us few!"
Nino: "Oh, right Yotsuba. Your friends in the basketball club are looking for a temporary member to fill in for a game. You've got great athletic ability, why don't you help them now?"
Yotsuba: "R-right now!? But…"
Nino: "I heard they only have five members, and one has a broken bone. Like this, they won't be able to participate. They worked so hard, it's really pitiful…"
Fuutarou: "If that's the case then of course you can't go, right?"
Yotsuba: "Sorry! I can't ignore someone in trouble!! Please excuse me!!"
Gohan: "Eh-eh!?"
Fuutarou: "You've gotta be kidding…"
Miku: "That child… she's bad at refusing people."
Nino: "Speaking of which, Ichika, didn't you say you had part-time work starting at two?"
Ichika: "Ah! I forgot…!"
Fuutarou: "H-hey…!"
Gohan: "Since she's scheduled, there's no helping it…"
Nino: "Itsuki, compared to such a noisy place, isn't the library better?"
Itsuki: "Mmm mmm…! Mmm! I want to meet Son-kun's mom at least once! This karaage is so delicious!"
Gohan: "I'm glad you like it."
Nino (thinking): (She got baited with food, ahhh!?)
Nino (thinking): (When food is involved, Itsuki's iron will crumbles… Fine, Itsuki doesn't count…)
Fuutarou: "…All right you guys, let's start the lesson already!"
Miku: "Face reality, Fuutarou."
To go this far…
Why does Nino-san go out of her way to sabotage us…?
Nino: "Ara? Miku, you're still here? You drank my juice by mistake, buy me another."
Miku: "I already bought one."
Nino: "Eh? What's this…?"
Does Nino-san also like matcha soda…?
Miku: "Anyway, let's start class."
Fuutarou: "No choice, let's reset our mood…"
Nino: "Wait a second, since when are you two so close? Eh? Eh? Don't tell me you like this plain-looking type?"
Fuutarou: "Oi, she just said something really rude, didn't she?"
Itsuki: "Didn't you also say really rude things to me before, Uesugi-kun?"
Fuutarou: "But didn't you forgive me yesterday!!"
Miku: "Nino is a face-con."
Fuutarou: "You're pretty sharp-tongued yourself…"
Nino: "Hah? So what if I'm a face-con? What's wrong with liking handsome guys? I see, so you don't care about appearances, that's why you wear those lame clothes."
Gohan (thinking): (Ah, ahh? This feels like it's about to become a fight… Is this okay…?)
Miku: "You think those sharp nails are stylish?"
Nino: "You wouldn't understand—"
Miku: "And I don't want to."
Gohan: "M-matte, matte! Both of you calm down…"
Itsuki: "They fight often. If you just leave them alone, they'll stop soon."
Nino: "Don't say it like we're children."
Miku: "Itsuki, shut up."
Gohan (thinking): (U-uwah… their faces are really scary…)
Itsuki: "Why are you only mean to me—!?"
Fuutarou: "Hey you all, you're sisters, get along. Appearance or personality, right now none of that matters."
Miku: "…Yeah. Don't get in my way again."
Finally, time to begin the lesson…
Nino: "Hey, have you eaten lunch?"
Gohan: "I already ate."
Fuutarou: "I…" (Grrrrrr— stomach growls)
Nino: "Hehh. Then, like Miku said, let's settle this by inner quality. Let's see who feels more at home. If I win, no studying today."
Fuutarou: "Th-that kind of thing is…"
Miku: "Fuutarou, Gohan, wait a moment, I'll take care of it."
Fuutarou: "Sit down!!"
Gohan: "Uesugi-kun, maybe we should just watch for now."
Itsuki: "Yeah! If we stay quiet we'll get to eat something delicious…!! (expectant)"
Nino: "Eh? I'm not giving you any. You think everything tastes good, so you'd be a useless judge."
Miku: "Anyway, Itsuki, go study quietly."
Fuutarou: "Oi, the one who should be studying is you!!"
Itsuki: "Uwaah—! Why are you only mean to me—!!"
Nino: "Speaking of which, you should control your eating a little. You'll get fat."
Fuutarou: "Ah, wait, that's…"
Miku: "You just ate karaage earlier. You should restrain yourself."
Itsuki: "..." (frozen)
(Silently turns around)
… Bang! (door closes)
Gohan: "Itsuki-san!?"
Itsuki-san went back to her room…
Fuutarou: "…Even her sisters worry about her overeating?"
Gohan: "No, the problem is now only one student is left for class…"
Fuutarou: "…You've gotta be kidding me…"
We'll call Itsuki-san back later. For now, let's see how their match turns out…
A few minutes later…
Nino: "Ta-dah! Seasonal vegetable prosciutto Dutch pancake!"
Gohan: "Do-Dutch…? Baby?"
Nino: "Eh? You don't know Dutch pancake? Basically, it's just a type of pancake."
Gohan: "First time I've heard of it…"
Fuutarou (thinking): (Me too, first time hearing this…)
Miku: "T-tamago yaki (omelet)…"
Ah, ah~…
Did Miku-san's omelet… fail?
Well, everyone fails sometimes. It can't be helped…
Miku: "I-I'll just eat it myself…"
Nino: "Eh—? Since you made it, let everyone try—?"
Fuutarou: "…You didn't suggest this knowing Miku is bad at cooking, did you…?"
Gohan: "…It's very possible."
