Chapter 51: Dreams Can Come True
"N-no, it's not that! B-but, you're doing Math...." Nino stuttered while pointing at the Math drills on the coffee table Yotsuba was sitting in front of.
"I thought you hated Math, Yotsuba." Ichika commented with a smile on her face. Yotsuba pouted at her.
"Hey! I only hate it because I didn't understand it before. Right now with Fuutarou teaching me, I can understand some of it a little now. Look! I already completed one of the drills already! " Yotsuba grinned and showed her work proudly. She laughed at their expressions.
"But seriously, you've been a lot more hardworking recently." Nino commented while she sat down near the coffee table while holding a social studies textbook and some worksheets of the same subject.
Yotsuba sighed.
"I have to now, Nino. We all have to. Don't tell me you don't want dad and Uesugi-san to be happy about our progress. He said he told dad about how he'll make us graduate with smiles on our faces." Yotsuba then looked back at her sisters. Miku who came back was silently listening to Yotsuba speak.
"If he's serious about it, we should be too. Right guys?" Yotsuba asked them. Nino sighed and nodded.
"Yeah, you're right. I still absolutely hate studying though." Nino grumbled. Miku raised her hand.
"Not to take the seriousness out of this, but I found something that you guys have to see." Miku told them.
" What is it.... " Nino scratched her cheek as Miku looked at her with stars in her eyes while still maintaining her emotionless expression.
"Just come with me."
"Okay?....."
.
.
"Why are we in your room?" Nino asked Miku as she and her sisters entered Miku's room. Miku pointed at Fuutarou's duffle bag.
"Look, Fuutarou's duffle bag." Miku muttered as she knelt down in front of it. She looked back at her sisters.
"I'm going to open it now." Miku said as she put her hand on the zipper.
"Miku, I don't think it's a good idea to go pry into other's belongings." Itsuki warned but her pleas were ignored by the headphones girl. Itsuki sighed and crossed her arms.
"I warned you....." She grumbled as Miku opened the duffle bag. She had stars in her eyes ad she took out what was inside.
"Look, Fuutarou's katanas." Miku revealed as she took out the three katanas in the duffle bag. Instantly, everyone gathered around her.
"Sick! It's the ones he brought to the Musashi Festival!" Yotsuba shouted excitedly as she admired the unique intricate design of the katanas. Nino pointed at Shusui.
"He didn't have this before when we visited his house." Nino commented. Ichika hummed as she grabbed Ame no Habakiri out of Miku's hands.
"Wow, it's heavy. " Ichika whispered before she looked at Itsuki who was staring intensely at the white katana.
"Itsuki, what's wrong? Do you wanna hold it too?" Ichika asked her with a smile on her face. Itsuki repeatedly shook her head. Ichika put a hand over her mouth and giggled.
"Itsuki, you're very bad at lying. We all know you want to hold it. Here!~ You can have it!~" Ichika gently put Ame no Habakiri into Itsuki's hands. Itsuki looked at it and was in awe immediately.
"It's so beautiful..." Itsuki whispered.
"Miku, what are you doing?" Nino asked while stepping back cautiously as she looked at Miku who was unsheathing Shusui.
"Woah! The blade is black! So pretty!" Miku muttered in awe. She was fangirling right now. It was her lifelong dream to hold a katana, and now it's done.
And she's holding a beautiful one too so it's bonus points. Now she can complete another one.
"Wonder how long it took to craft these?" Yotsuba mumbled as she looked at Enma in her hands.
"It still looks brand new too." Ichika commented while running her hands along the blade's scabbard.
"Miku.... I don't like that look in your eyes." Nino muttered nervously as Miku put Shusui's sheath on the ground gently, not wanting to damage the blade or it's sheath.
"Everyone..... Please stand back...." Miku whispered, barely able to control her excitement. She was a big fan of Sengoku Era walords, but she was also a big fan of katanas too.
All eyes were on Miku as she grabbed the blade's hilt with both of her hands and raised it up high.
*SHING!!!*
Miku sliced downwards. The stars in her eyes brightened dramatically as she looked back at her sisters with an excited smile on her face.
"That's.... A new expression...." Ichika giggled as she looked at Miku's bright smile. Yotsuba was also in awe too.
"So cool!!! It even makes a slicing sound too! Itsuki, let's see that one your holding!" Yotsuba pointed at Ame no Habakiri in Itsuki's hands.
Miku turned around to look at Itsuki who was trying her best to not fall for peer pressure. Itsuki shook her head.
"No! If we want to take a look we should ask Uesugi-kun, not do what we're doing. Let's put it back before he comes out of the bath." Itsuki ordered her sisters. Nino giggled at how responsible Itsuki was.
"But Uesugi isn't even here right now. He smells like dog shit from wherever he went so he's gonna take his time to wash that off. So that gives us time to check out his stuff." Nino argued with a mischievous smile on her face.
"If you won't do it I'll do it." Miku offered while holding out her hand. Itsuki narrowed her eyes and shook her head.
"No! You'll just hurt yourself. These are sharp objects and we shouldn't play with them. Sheath that back Miku or you'll accidentally hurt yourself or one of us!" Itsuki shouted back. Miku pouted at her.
"Party pooper...." Miki grumbled. Itsuki sighed and palmed her face.
"Well, I did warn you." She mumbled before raising Ame no Habakiri. Miku smiled as she stretched out her hand to grab it.
*PAK!*
"AHN!!~~" Miku moaned as her plump ass was slapped by someone. Her sisters blushed vividly at the lewd noise she made.
Miku looked at the person who would do such a thing and widened her eyes in horror. Her face slowly became redder than a rose as she was staring at Fuutarou wearing a white sleeveless vest and black shorts while rubbing his wet hair with a towel.
"Damn, it's soft. Never washing this hand ever again." Fuutarou licked his lips while looking at his right hand he used to slap the headphone girl's ass.
"F-f-f-fuutarou..." Miku stuttered as she and her sisters had even redder faces after hearing their handsome tutor's comment about Miku's butt.
"What do you girls think you're doing with my stuff huh?" Fuutarou asked them. He raised an eyebrow at Miku's expression.
She was pouting angrily at him while holding Shusui tightly.
"P-p-pervert!!!" Miku squealed loudly as she raised the blade and swung it towards Fuutarou who chuckled as he stared at the oncoming attack.
Miku's sisters screamed in horror at Miku's actions.
"Huh?" Yotsuba widened her eyes in shock as she saw Fuutarou casually catch the blade between his index snd middle finger with an amused smile on his face.
"Don't do that Miku, it's dangerous." Fuutarou scolded lightly as he pulled the katana out of Miku's hands with no difficulties whatsoever. He chuckled at her shocked expression and grabbed Shusui's sheath.
"Seriously, why are you girls going through my stuff? It's kinda rude to do that you know." Fuutarou asked as he put Shusui into the duffle bag.
"W-well, I tried to stop them b-but...." Itsuki stuttered out. Fuutarou raised an eyebrow before he pointed at Ame no Habakiri in her hands.
"Then why are you holding one of them?" An amused Fuutarou asked. He wasn't even mad to be honest.
"Ichika...." Itsuki growled at Ichika who laughed and scratched her head.
"Oop!~"
"Gimme that." Fuutarou muttered before Itsuki handed him the katana in her hands.
"Sorry about going through your stuff..." The youngest of the Quints whispered. Fuutarou shook his head.
"Nah, it's alright. I was kinda expecting you guys to go through it." Fuutarou replied. Yotsuba look at Enma in her hands. She smiled as she put her hand on the hilt before she unsheathed it.
"Nope! Not letting that happen." Fuutarou muttered hastily as he quickly took Enma out of the girl's hands. Yotsuba pouted at him.
"These katanas are dangerous. Especially this one." Fuutarou pointed at Enma as he put them back into the duffle bag. Nino crossed her arms.
"Miku unsheathed one and she's completely fine. What's so dangerous about that one?" Nino argued with Fuutarou who shook his head at the girl's stubbornness.
"It's better if I just show you since you won't believe me when I explain it." Fuutarou whispered as he stood up with Enma in hand. He unsheathed it and held it in his left hand.
Immediately, Enma had a purple flame-like aura around it. It also forcefully coated Fuutarou's right arm with Armament Haki and started releasing an excessive amount of it.
"Woah!!" Nino shouted in shock as she jumped back, not wanting to be hurt by the flame like aura around Enma. Her sisters were watching in disbelief.
"It's like something out of an anime!" Yotsuba commented with her sisters nodding in agreement with her.
"Ah! Fuutarou-kun! Your arm!!" Ichika shouted and pointed at Fuutarou's right arm which was dramatically emaciating as Enma released his Haki.
"Dude, stop embarrassing me." Fuutarou grumbled as he retook his Haki with his mastery over it. He sighed in relief as his arm and the blade returned to normal.
He looked at the girls who were still in disbelief at what they were seeing. They were also huddling up with each other, scared by the sight of Enma.
"Now you know why I don't want you to go through my stuff. Next time ask for permission." Fuutarou scolded seriously as he sheathed Enma and put it back in his duffle bag before getting up and taking it away.
" We're sorry..... " Miku whispered as her and her sisters bowed at him. Fuutarou sighed and walked back towards them.
"Just please don't do that again, okay? These things are not toys." Fuutarou advised them. Miku nodded silently. Fuutarou smiled and patted her head.
"That was a nice swing by the way." Fuutarou complimented her before exiting the room to find a place for his katanas.
Miku smiled happily at the compliment before she and her sisters stood up straight and looked at each other.
"Tell me I'm not dreaming." Ichika said, breaking the silence between them. Nino went up to pinch Ichika's face.
"Ouch!" Ichika flinched, feeling the sting.
"Yup, not dreaming." Nino whispered as she looked back at where Fuutarou was.
"He's keeping a lot of secrets from us than we originally thought."
