Natsuhiko was a bit surprised.
He didn't expect Mai-senpai to still be waiting for him, but it wasn't a bad thing.
"I'm sorry, I bothered you just now."
Natsuhiko could see the guilt suddenly rising in Mai-senpai.
Her face was full of seriousness.
Although the upperclassman did go a bit too far, it wasn't a big deal and could be forgiven.
"Haha, it's okay!"
In the end, this was all because Natsuhiko hadn't clearly expressed his rejection.
It should be said that it was his own problem.
It has nothing to do with others.
Besides.
If he can't even solve such a small thing, then talking about a harem is nonsense.
They got on the train again. This time, there was no crowded situation everyone likes to see. The two of them sat side by side, which was rare.
When they got to the supermarket near the apartment, Natsuhiko wandered around inside. It seemed that Mai-senpai didn't plan to leave for the time being, so he had a free worker.
Naturally, he wanted to buy a lot more.
Seeing Natsuhiko take the two big bags after paying, Sakura Mai showed a happy smile.
"So, why did you buy so much stuff!"
Just now, the two of them had confirmed again that Sakura Mai had once again entered a state of being invisible.
Natsuhiko held out a hand.
He handed over the bag that was obviously lighter.
"If you want to go to my place, help me with one bag!"
"Huh?"
"Is that not okay?"
Natsuhiko raised an eyebrow.
"Hmph, I don't mind being ordered around by a younger classmate like this!"
Of course.
In fact, Natsuhiko didn't mean to make fun of Mai-senpai.
He could tell that Mai-senpai was still concerned about what just happened, so helping with something would probably make her feel better.
Otherwise, two bags of stuff were just a piece of cake.
For a moment, the two fell into silence.
Only the sound of walking remained.
Until they reached the door of Natsuhiko's apartment, Mai blankly looked at the apartment, which was obviously in a rich area, and exclaimed.
"It seems my classmate is really a rich person!"
As she said this, Natsuhiko felt that Mai's familiar expression had returned.
She really is an actress.
Her ability to adjust her mood is top-notch!
But all in all, it's a good thing.
Natsuhiko shrugged.
"Ah, I am indeed a rich person!"
"Mai-senpai has been famous as an actress for so long, you should have earned a lot too."
Speaking of which.
Natsuhiko felt that the upperclassman's mood had dropped again, so he wisely changed the subject.
Mai-senpai must have been thinking about something related to herself.
High-end apartments definitely have a high-end look. The surrounding scenery and security are all very well done. Here, the lights on the road will never be dark, not even one.
The elevator quickly reached the 30th floor.
The Name on the nameplate indicated the owner's existence.
Mai was a little nervous and looked sideways at the opposite side.
The Nakano sign was hanging on the opposite side.
She vaguely remembered that the quintuplets' last name was Nakano.
Natsuhiko followed her line of sight and saw the nameplate.
As if seeing through Mai's thoughts, he said, "Those are the Nakano sisters from the photos. We're neighbors!"
"Haha, tsk tsk tsk!"
Mai made an inexplicable comment.
"I didn't expect you to have such a connection."
Looking at Mai, who was still outside the door and not coming in, Natsuhiko felt a little amused.
"Come in quickly. If you don't come in, how are we going to do things we like to do?"
"Huh, what did you say?"
"I mean, the upperclassman is too tempting. I can't control myself now. I want to invite you in to experience the comfortable big bed."
The slight nervousness Mai had originally felt was gone.
"Do you say that to every girl who enters your room?"
Natsuhiko had no choice but to point his fingers to the sky.
"Honestly, Mai-senpai is the first person I've ever said these lines to..."
"Heh..."
What he got in return was a Byakugan that completely didn't believe him.
This.
He didn't need to lie about this.
Really.
"What do you want to eat?"
Although they had a little something in the coffee shop just now, it was obvious that the suddenly appearing Mai-senpai hadn't eaten anything. Although it was still early, dinner could be on the agenda.
"You can cook?"
Mai's expression was full of disbelief.
Speaking of which, Natsuhiko had to admire the Chef's cooking skills. They were really useful, not only solving hunger problems when he was hungry, but also always being useful at critical moments, mainly to improve his overall image.
A man who can cook is a treasure.
"Pretty capable!"
Mai-senpai said her thoughts without thinking.
"I'm capable, and very capable!"
Natsuhiko shamelessly said a gentleman's line, and then, without waiting for Mai to reply, went straight to the kitchen.
Considering that girls usually don't eat meat at night.
The name of a dish appeared in Natsuhiko's mind - Magical Mapo Tofu.
When Natsuhiko brought the cooked dish and rice, he saw Mai-senpai scrolling through the news online, bored.
"Okay, let's eat!"
He handed over the tableware.
Mai didn't mind and started her tasting journey.
"Is there meat in it?"
Natsuhiko smiled and shook his head.
"It's soybeans, don't worry, you won't gain weight!"
Of course.
Mai couldn't say the advantages of this dish like a professional reviewer, she just kept saying "Delicious, delicious!"
How could it not be delicious.
This is a six-in-one Mapo Tofu!
...
"Ah, I'm full, I'll do the dishes."
Mai, looking satisfied, took the initiative to take on the task of washing dishes, which made Natsuhiko quite satisfied.
"Ding-dong!"
The doorbell rang.
Natsuhiko looked outside.
Good grief.
Isn't the person standing outside his future father-in-law, Nakano Maruo?
Natsuhiko almost forgot.
He did have an appointment to discuss the tutoring for the five sisters today, but after a few hours, he almost forgot. Is this okay?
