After seeing Mayu off, he thought about the system's latest task and returned to the living room to ask the three girls, "When was the last time you all had dinner with your father?"
The three girls showed puzzled expressions.
"Makoto, why are you suddenly asking this?" Ichika spoke first.
Makoto explained, "Since the last time I met Mr. Nakano, I noticed he actually wants to spend more time with you, but his personality seems a bit shy.
If that's the case, why don't we schedule a dinner together?"
"So that's what father thinks?"
The girls looked at each other.
Makoto continued, "If I'm not mistaken, he's just having trouble saving face, but deep down he really wants to get along well with you."
Ichika smiled brightly and asked, "Makoto, do you really want to build a good relationship with our father?"
Nino and Itsuki also looked over.
Makoto shook his head: "You're wrong. It's me who wants to help you build a good relationship. At least from my perspective, Mr. Nakano's concern for you isn't fake, and I want to help him."
Only in this way can this "blond" of mine be accepted by the Nakano patriarch.
The three girls were silent for a moment, but in the end, the eldest daughter Ichika stood up: "I will find time to get in touch with Father."
Nino and Itsuki also said, "Then we'll leave it to you."
They all had a good impression of Makoto, so they didn't doubt what he said.
It was just that Mr. Nakano Maruo always wore a stern expression and acted so cold and unapproachable that the five sisters didn't know how to get along with him.
Now that Makoto was willing to help, they agreed.
After finishing the serious talk, Nino thought about whether she should go home and change her pants, but Ichika suddenly spoke up:
"By the way, Nino already enjoyed Makoto's professional massage, so now is it my and Itsuki's turn?"
Itsuki instinctively waved her hand: "I don't need it."
Ichika smiled and grabbed her arm: "Don't feel shy. Nino gave such a high evaluation of his massage skills. Don't you want to experience it yourself?"
Itsuki immediately hesitated.
She really was curious.
Noticing Itsuki's gaze, Ichika seized the moment and said, "Then Itsuki first, then me."
Itsuki turned her head and timidly looked at Makoto: "Is that okay, Fushimi?"
"I have no objections," Makoto agreed; he had already noticed Ichika's intention to stir things up.
Nino, who was about to go home, had to stay and wait to leave together with her sisters.
Ichika's lips curled up—she was definitely a schemer.
Besides, in the kitchen just now, she had already sensed how much Makoto was obsessed with her great figure to the point that she accidentally discovered his "weapon."
Member Ichika was willing to show loyalty to the club president!
This massage was supposed to take place in the living room, but Ichika had prepared an excuse in advance: "Let's just go to Makoto's room since Nino was just massaged there."
Itsuki wanted to politely refuse, but Ichika interrupted:
"We'll leave the plans in the living room for now, so we don't have to clean up temporarily. After everyone experiences Makoto's professional massage skills, we can continue discussing."
"Alright then."
Itsuki could only agree—she hadn't fully understood the plans yet.
Nino stayed silent the whole time.
She always felt Ichika was suspicious but didn't have proof yet.
When the four of them arrived at the bedroom, Itsuki shyly lay down, and Makoto deliberately maintained the most professional masseur posture: completely focused.
His serious attitude successfully diverted Nino's suspicion of Ichika.
Earlier Nino was the experiencer; now she was an observer. Two perspectives brought two different feelings.
When she saw Itsuki closing her eyes in comfort, even her toes curling, she couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
So that's how I looked just now—such a shameful side.
Then she looked at Makoto's focused face and thought to herself she really hadn't misjudged this friend; even facing a beautiful girl like Itsuki, he had no improper thoughts at all.
When Itsuki finished and got off the bed, blushing and dizzy, she put on her shoes and happily exclaimed, "What Nino said is all true—Fushimi, you're really professional!"
She felt that all the fatigue she had accumulated disappeared after the massage.
From head to waist, that kind of pleasure.
It wasn't from head to toe because she shyly refused to have her legs massaged by Makoto.
Nino muttered inwardly: "Itsuki, you missed the best part."
Remember, she had been massaged to the point where she was about to go home to change pants…
"Thanks for the compliment. If you're satisfied, it means I've mastered the skill."
Makoto replied, sneaking a glance at Ichika.
Sure enough, the girl secretly winked at him, then said to her two sisters, "Itsuki, do you want to continue looking at the plans?"
"Oh right, I haven't finished reading them yet," Itsuki responded eagerly.
Ichika then looked at Nino: "Nino, you should take a look too. I won't hide it from you anymore—we and Itsuki actually want you three to join the club."
Nino instinctively wanted to refuse but remembered this was Makoto's club, so she softened her words: "I'm not really interested in this kind of club."
Ichika smiled brightly: "I know. Anyway, you can just take a look. What if you want to join later? The five of us staying in the same club—I just think that would be pretty nice."
Hearing "the five of us staying together," Nino hesitated but still agreed.
No matter what, the five of them should be together.
Moreover, Makoto's professional attitude just now made Nino completely at ease.
She thought that since Makoto was so serious, even if Ichika had other intentions, it shouldn't be a problem.
But after Nino and Itsuki left the bedroom, Ichika quietly closed the door, raised her fair hand, pressed a finger to her lips, and a charming blush bloomed on her beautiful face.
Makoto met her watery eyes: "So you really want to cause trouble."
Ichika slowly parted her red lips and softly said with a smile, "Ten minutes."
She meant she would only stay in the room for ten minutes.
Makoto thought to himself: This is called a limited-time encore benefit!
