Futaro begins to get involved with the quintuplets in areas other than study.
Futaro was hospitalized during the forest school, and after returning home, he was also hospitalized. After the five children visited him in the hospital, he had to take his final exam.
This work shows us that there is no escape from exams and studying. There is also the impression that the topic of a girl similar to the five children whom Futaro met in Kyoto when he was in elementary school has come to appear in the story in earnest.
However, we start with the test. I thought that he had grown closer to his sisters and become much more cooperative, but this is where Futano’s rebuttal comes in. This led to a fight between Futano and May, and to their surprise, they ran away from home.
Other problems began to pile up as Yotsuba was forced to help out on the track team, both practicing for competitions and studying for tests. It was around this time that I got the impression that Futaro became more and more aware of the sisters’ family situations and their individual personal circumstances, and at times intervened.
Although they were able to take the test itself after clearing various problems, the five sisters still could not say that they had avoided a red mark. At this point, Futaro, keenly aware of his own inadequacies, informs the father of the quintuplets that he will resign as their tutor without telling them before the test, and it seems that this is the last time he will be involved with them again.
However, the perplexed Gotsuko and the others took action on their own to get Futaro back, and they moved out of the luxury apartment they were living in and rented a new apartment to make a fresh start. …… is an episode of this area up to …….
What we must not forget here is that Futano recognizes that Kintaro is Kintaro. From this point on, Futano also began to participate in the heroine race over Kintaro in earnest.
Avoiding red marks on final exams again after the new year.
Since the previous episode took place just during the Christmas season, the next one starts at the beginning of the new year. The quintuplets have chosen to live together in a small apartment and are unable to pay their tuition to Futaro, but many people must have been impressed by Futaro’s willingness to continue to be involved with the quintuplets, saying that it is “fine to pay for their careers.
In addition, it was around this time that the father of the quintuplets began to interfere with the quintuplets more than ever. It was also around this time that he began to interfere with the quintuplets even more than before. He made an unreasonable demand that the next time they received a red mark, all the sisters would be transferred to a high school in Tokyo.
It was also around this time that Ichika, Futano, and Sanku took various actions to fulfill their feelings for Futaro, Yotsuba’s guilt over having caused the other sisters to transfer schools because she had dragged them down, and Mayuki’s goal of pursuing her mother and becoming a teacher emerged.
It was also around this time that the sisters discovered that each of them was good at a certain subject, and they improved their study efficiency by teaching the subject they were good at to the other sisters.
As a result, all the sisters avoided getting red marks, but for some reason, Futaro tried to keep his distance from the five sisters after spring break.
Fake May suddenly confronted with a termination notice.
After winning a lucky draw at a supermarket where he met San Ku by chance, Futaro and his family decided to go on a trip to a hot spring resort. However, the trip was to be near the home of the quintuplets’ grandfather, and they had come to the same place. In the end, Futaro was not able to keep his distance from the quintuplets,
In this episode, Futaro is notified by another one of the sisters in the form of May that “Let’s put an end to this (current) relationship.
It seems that Ichika, Futano, and Sanku had already begun to clearly perceive Futaro as the opposite sex, and Yotsuba and May had already established a good relationship. In order to find out the true meaning of the fake May, who suddenly made a statement that could be taken to mean he wanted to dissolve the relationship, we had to find out who the real May was with the help of the real May.
One of the difficulties was that the inn where Futaro and his friends were staying was run by their grandfather, and the five children were also supposed to stay at the same inn. And as a kind of rule at their grandfather’s house, they were all dressed as May.
Since Futaro could not distinguish the sisters at this point, even as usual, he had difficulty in the “Five Children Game,” in which he had to guess who was who. He asked their grandfather, who could identify the five sisters just by looking at their faces, for help, but in the end he was unable to help.
However, in his last attempt to guess the identity of the fake May, he was able to identify it as San Ku. It seems that ending this relationship had a different meaning from the dismissal notice, and I’m sure many boys were caught off guard by this troublesome but poignant word of San Ku.
And about the kiss under the vow bell. It is said that if two people ring the bell together, they will be united, and the question of who kissed whom under the bell has been debated among fans. Only the figure was May, but was it really ……!
Ichibana begins to run amok
After spring break, Futaro and the five children have moved on to the next grade. At this time, it was decided that the rent and living expenses of the apartment, which had been borne by Ichibana, who had already earned money working as an actress, would be divided equally among the five of them. From this point on, we began to see developments such as each finding a part-time job to earn money.
While Futano was deciding on a part-time job at the cake shop where Futaro worked and Saniku at the bakery across the street, the father of the quintuplets tried to set up their classmate Takeda as a tutor instead of Futaro. ……
However, he was able to overcome this challenge with the results of the national mock exam and succeeded in having his abilities recognized by the father of the quintuplets. He was also rewarded once again.
From this point on, Ichika, Futano, and Sanku became more aggressive toward Futaro, but it was Ichika, the eldest daughter, who seemed to go out of control.
It was not so bad for Yotsuba and May, who had not yet made it clear that they had opposite-sex feelings for Koutarou (*not that it was praiseworthy ……), but it was especially bad for “Saniku” who must have known that she also had feelings for Koutarou to some extent. She disguised herself as “Sanku,” which she knew he liked to some extent, and directly told him that Ichika liked Futaro and that she would support him because they were a good match.
Her outburst is further accelerated in the next school trip episode. The heroine race will be stirred up even more by such Ichika.
The sisters, after a battle over Futaro, bonded even more at the end.
And then came the school trip. Since the destination was Kyoto, there were high expectations for the development of the identity of Zerona, a girl who was supposed to be one of the quintuplets.
From the stage of deciding who would be paired with Futaro, a fierce battle between the girls unfolded, but the decisive incident took place at what was thought to be the Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine (* This was not explicitly stated in the story, so it is blurred out).
Ichika, sensing that San Ku was about to confess his feelings for her, pretended to be San Ku and tried to prevent him from confessing in advance.
However, the trick didn’t work after all. In the end, before meeting Futaro, the real San Ku and Yotsuba, who was cheering her on, ran into each other and got into a fight. In the middle of it all, there was also the problem of Miku’s favor being found out by Futaro.
However, it helped that Futaro, who was not that insensitive to the quirk, seemed to have already understood that Miiku had a liking for him. He also seemed to have doubts about the aforementioned statement of the fake San Ku that Ichika pretended to be.
Even so, even though they had feelings of wanting to outwit each other and wanting to keep Futano and Sanku to themselves, Ichika’s behavior here was a big topic of discussion because Futano and Sanku were direct and single-minded, not interfering with anyone else.
Ichika, who had been the eldest daughter and had a solid character, showed an unexpected side of herself by being so desperate for the man she loves that she would not choose any means.
On the last day, Ichika, who knew in advance which course Futaro would choose, gave up the right to San Ku to atone for her sins, perhaps because Futaro had been pressuring her.
The sisters were so depressed that they could no longer grasp the distance between themselves and Koutarou, but they all followed up and finally succeeded in confessing their feelings to him. The school trip ended with the sisters confirming their feelings for each other and reconciling.
The sisters also reveal who they were when they met as Futaro and Zerona in elementary school. ……
