Chapter 444 The Four-Leaf Clover Girl Approaching Contraband

Yotsuba snorted coldly, but she wasn't really angry.

Normally, she would have gone home with her sisters, but because she didn't go home last night, she was interrogated by Nino, Miku, and Itsuki during lunch break in the cafeteria. Actually, Ichika helped to smooth things over, and Yotsuba was so flustered that she almost let something slip.

Fortunately, after Yotsuba sincerely apologized and offered to buy wagashi (Japanese sweets) for her sisters as compensation, the matter was resolved by May despite opposition.

So Yotsuba came here to buy sweets, and Ichika said she was worried that it wouldn't be safe for Yotsuba to go home alone, so she came with her. However, Yotsuba seriously suspected that Ichika was just afraid that Yotsuba would go to the Hayakawa house today, or that she came just to question her.

Just like when we were on the stairs, she's incredibly persistent.

"Ugh…"

Yotsuba sighed and took her wallet out of her pocket.

In short, let's buy all the desserts for the sisters first.

……

five minutes later.

"Welcome to visit us again!"

As the doorbell rang, Ichika and Yotsuba came out of the shop carrying several bags of desserts.

"Yotsuba is so rich, she bought desserts for five people without even changing her expression."

Ichika looked at Yotsuba with a smile and said with emotion, "Looks like you don't spend much of your allowance."

Well, mainly because there aren't many places where I need to spend money.

Yotsuba said calmly that she didn't have any personal hobbies other than sports. She didn't often go out to buy clothes and cosmetics. She didn't pursue brand names like Nino, nor did she like to eat like May. So she basically didn't have any expenses. In addition, her adoptive father, Nakano Maruo, was very generous and gave the five sisters a lot of pocket money every month. So over the years, they had saved up a lot of money. Yotsuba could be considered a little rich girl among her peers.

“Oh, I see. Yotsuba’s savings are indeed quite substantial,” Ichika nodded with a smile, then suddenly leaned closer to Yotsuba and said, “You’re not planning to use your savings for travel expenses and to open a love hotel, are you?”

"..."

"Ichika..."

Four Leaf stared at her expressionlessly for a long time before finally saying quietly, "You'd better hurry up and give me some space."

"Haha,"

Ichika sensed danger. She first looked up at the sky and smiled awkwardly, then hugged her shoulders and shivered as if to change the subject: "It's so cold! The temperature is even lower than usual. I think the reason there's no one queuing today is because it's too cold. Let's hurry up and take a taxi home."

"…good.

Yotsuba gave Ichika a curt reply, the day's events having completely eroded any remaining respect she had for Ichika.

The two were heading towards the intersection to hail a taxi when Yi Hua, as if catching something out of the corner of her eye, called out to Yotsuba, "Ah, wait a minute, Yotsuba."

"what happened?"

Yotsuba turned her head.

Ichika pointed to the convenience store next door and said, "I just remembered that we've run out of drinks at home. Let's buy some to take home."

"Ah, it seems so."

Yotsuba suddenly realized: "Then let's buy some to take home."

The two hit it off immediately and headed straight for the convenience store.

The five sisters not only have very different food preferences, but also completely different types of drinks. Ichika likes very sweet fruit juice, Nino likes sparkling wine and cocktails, which are party-go-lucky drinks, Miku loves matcha-flavored carbonated drinks, and Yotsuba doesn't like drinks at all. She usually drinks pure water and hot tea, and at most she drinks some mineral water to replenish her energy after exercising.

As for May... she doesn't seem to have any particular favorites. She likes anything that tastes good. However, she has been having trouble sleeping lately due to anxiety caused by studying, so she drinks warm milk before bed.

Yotsuba remembered all her sisters' preferences and bought the items according to the list.

The two sisters went their separate ways as soon as they entered the store. Yotsuba went to the shelf and carefully selected the items, occasionally pulling a bottle of drink into her arms.

"Matcha water... Ah, I found it."

Yotsuba glanced at it and then took the matcha drink away.

Looking at the green aluminum can in her hand, Yotsuba wasn't very interested. Although Miku loved this drink, Yotsuba had tried it once and really didn't think it tasted very good. In fact, it was quite astringent and she just couldn't get used to it.

A short while later, Yotsuba arrived at the convenience store checkout counter with a bag of drinks and said to the cashier, "Excuse me, could you please pay for this?"

"Ok."

The cashier responded and began scanning the code.

Yotsuba stood idly to the side, her gaze drifting casually over the various items next to the cashier, trying to figure out if there was anything else she needed to buy.

Generally, there are some things next to the cashier, such as various mints, chocolates, cookies and other tasty snacks. A little further on, there are heated foods in the warming cabinet, such as rice balls and hamburgers. However, when Yotsuba's gaze swept over, it suddenly stopped in the glass cabinet behind the cashier, and her eyes immediately froze.

The first thing you see in the cabinet is a bunch of cigarettes, but that's obviously not what Four Leaves cares about. What she's interested in is what's in the cabinet next to the cigarettes.

These are also small boxes, but smaller than cigarettes, and the labels are smaller. The pictures on the boxes are of men and women, which seem veiled and ambiguous.

This is not...

That...

Safety measures?!

Yotsuba's eyes widened, and her little face immediately turned bright red.

I never knew convenience stores sold this kind of thing!

That makes sense, after all, it's a convenience store, a place that provides convenience to people, so it's normal for it to sell this kind of thing.

but…

Yotsuba quickly lowered her head to avoid the colorful boxes, as if they were a dangerous and filthy place. However, after a while, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at them again.

"Um…"

Although Yotsuba's face was still flushed this time, she calmed down and her eyes showed serious contemplation.

Should we...?

Buy a little bit now.

Yotsuba frowned, her expression thoughtful.

She still remembered her promise to Hayakawa, that she would go to his house again to study.

Since it's about studying, then the necessary study tools are definitely needed, otherwise how can we proceed...?

In April, she pursed her lips tightly, her inner turmoil growing stronger.

Normally, this kind of thing would be prepared by the boys, but Yotsuba thought Hayakawa would probably forget about it in a few days, since he was only thinking about studying and taking exams.

Besides, this was a promise I made myself, so it's only natural for me to take a little initiative...

Chapter 445 Hayakawa Arrives

"that…"

Yotsuba hesitated for a long time, then, as if possessed, reached out her hand and said to the cashier, "That one on the shelf, okay..."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.

"On the shelf?"

The cashier turned her head in confusion and saw the two items on the shelf. Her expression immediately turned strange.

It's not appropriate for a high school girl to buy either cigarettes or safety equipment; shouldn't it be a boy who does it?

Is the world going to the dogs? Is this what high schools are like these days?

"Excuse me, could you...?"

The cashier was about to politely speak when a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Four-leaf clover..."

What are you planning to buy?

……

Two minutes ago.

"Okay, the milk has arrived too."

Ichika smiled as she put the milk into a bag: "You can heat it up when you get home and drink it. Although it's for May, it shouldn't matter if I, as the older sister, drink a few cups."

She had been unusually anxious since last night, and even suffered from insomnia due to worry. Drinking milk before bed has a calming effect, so Yihua bought a lot to drink herself.

As for the reason for his anxiety, it was naturally because he was worried about his dear little sister, Yotsuba.

Although Ichika had asked her countless times throughout the day, and she repeatedly said that she had no relationship with Hayakawa and gave many explanations, such as safety measures and Hayakawa's personality, Ichika still didn't believe her.

First of all, Ichika knows boys all too well, especially high school boys. Because of her beautiful appearance and good figure, and because she often takes on acting roles, she has a bit of an idol vibe, so she's very popular in her class. Occasionally, she's been secretly observed by boys in her class with lewd eyes. She knows all too well what these guys are thinking. And now, her younger sister Yotsuba has spent the whole night at Hayakawa's house, a high school boy, and says nothing happened? How could Ichika possibly believe that?

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The most important reason is that during the interrogation in the morning, Ichika had a sudden idea and suggested that she take a bath with Yotsuba that night. Yotsuba's reaction at that time was... to refuse immediately and to look flustered. Based on Ichika's understanding of Yotsuba, she was obviously guilty. This behavior clearly meant that she was hiding something.

With all these doubts piled up, how could Ichika believe it? That's why she repeatedly tested Yotsuba, trying to glean more information indirectly.

It seems that Yotsuba has already fallen for her, and even if they haven't actually done it, it's probably close. Nino has already fallen for her long ago, and she mentions Hayakawa from time to time at home. Does that mean that two of her most precious little sisters have already been captured by Hayakawa?

As Ichika thought about this, she couldn't help but frown. For some reason, the thought of Yotsuba being with Hayakawa last night and what had happened made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

It must be because she didn't want her younger sister to get too deeply involved with that scumbag Hayakawa. After all, he's a boy who bullied both of her own sisters. The word "excessive" is an understatement. He's practically the number one scumbag in Ichinose's eyes.

As the eldest of the Nakano Five Sisters, it is my responsibility to discipline and take care of my younger sisters.

I will protect Yotsuba's chastity.

As Ichika thought about it, a fire ignited in her heart. She then made up her mind that for the next period of time, she must keep an eye on Yotsuba and resolutely prevent her from going out alone. Even if there was a reason, she would try her best to stop her.

Ichika, her mind full of schemes to break up the couple, finally smiled and walked towards the cashier with her plastic bag. She looked at Yotsuba in front of the counter and smiled as if she was about to say something, but then she saw Yotsuba pointing at the cabinet behind the cashier, as if she was planning to buy something again.

Ichika walked up to her with some curiosity, asking as she went, "Yotsuba? What are you planning to buy?"

She took two steps forward and came to the front of the shelf. The first thing she saw was the cigarettes closest to her, and her expression immediately turned serious.

Yotsuba actually bought cigarettes on her own initiative. Does that mean she wants to smoke them?

How could this be? It's unbelievable that Yotsuba would get involved in such a bad habit?! She's a teetotaler.

"Four-leaf clover,"

Ichika's expression turned unusually serious as she quickly stepped forward: "When did you...?"

Her words trailed off as she looked up and saw what was on the other side of the shelf: rows of blue-green boxes. As for what they were, Yi Hua immediately recognized them.

"..."

Ichika stopped in her tracks, first looking at Yotsuba in disbelief, then showing a hint of relief.

At this moment, she could guess without even thinking that what Yotsuba was pointing to just now was definitely not the cigarettes over there, but the safety device box over here!

You still say you didn't do it!

"No...no!"

Feeling flustered under Ichika's gaze, Yotsuba's mind went blank, and she stammered, "I... I just wanted to ask!"

"Pay the bill."

Ichika ignored Yotsuba and placed the items on the table with a sullen face. She could no longer listen to Yotsuba's explanation. Her heart was filled with a strange bitterness, and her mind was filled with Hayakawa's face.

All she wanted now was to see the despicable guy who had taken her sister's innocence, and then use her well-trained, idol-like long legs to kick him hard between the legs, letting him know that some things are off-limits, or else there will be consequences.

It's a pity we can't find him now!

"Let's go."

Ichika was annoyed and grabbed Yotsuba's hand to leave the convenience store.

However, at that moment, the AI ​​voice of the convenience store doorbell suddenly came from the door: "Welcome to the 24-hour convenience store."

At the same time, a familiar figure walked in, and Ichika and Yotsuba both widened their eyes when they saw him.

"Eh?"

Hayakawa looked at the two girls standing in front of him with slight surprise and said, "Aren't these Ichika and Yotsuba? Why haven't you taken them home yet?"

Ichika and Yotsuba: "..."

……

Let's go back five minutes.

"Mr. Peanut?"
