Mash-Up: Anything for Money

"If you mean the first confirmed relationship, then indeed, it was me."

Even Nao confirmed her relationship after Ginko.

As for why Ginko needed to specify the confirmation of the relationship, Ginko naturally had her reasons.

Although Hakuto didn't say it, Ginko didn't believe that Hakuto could remain chaste, waiting for Ginko to reach the appropriate age.

Moreover, Ginko knew that Nao and Hakuto were living together. If Hakuto didn't do anything, Ginko would jump off the building!

Damn the age! 

Damn the pretense! 

Damn it! Damn it!

Ginko thought Hakuto was just pretending. The difference was only one or two years, which could be completely ignored!

But just when Ginko was angry, Miku suddenly spoke.

"Thank you..."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Thank you for being willing to let Hakuto go..."

Hearing Miku's explanation, Ginko raised an eyebrow. In the next second, she smiled and said:

"You don't need to thank me..."

Actually, thanking Ginko would be better off thanking Nao.

Without Nao, Ginko would never have agreed to Hakuto having a harem.

It was precisely because Nao took the lead that Ginko could accept the other people later on.

So in Ginko's eyes, she only acknowledged Nao, the others... Well, that's something to deal with later.

However, Miku's personality made it impossible for Ginko to hate her.

As for why Miku said thank you, it was because she understood how Ginko had felt back then.

It's still the same, sharing and being shared are two completely different mindsets!

At least in Miku's eyes, it was like that. However, what Miku didn't know was that back then, Ginko had no choice but to agree.

So, it wasn't about Ginko agreeing or not, it was about whether Hakuto wanted it.

Poor Miku, she still thought Hakuto was some upright gentleman!

…

In the afternoon, Ginko declined the invitation to accompany Hakuto, with the reason being:

"Hakuto, do you remember our bet?"

Of course, Hakuto remembered. Whoever became a professional player first could make one request of the other.

However, Hakuto hadn't thought about winning. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so casual about it, letting the opportunity slip for days.

Hakuto could guess what request Ginko was going to make, but was it really necessary to rush? It could clearly wait a year or two.

By the way, hadn't Hakuto already rested for two or three days... should he go back and look for the president today...

No, wait...

Hakuto looked at Miku, who was leaning on him. If it was about doing that kind of thing, the president wasn't the only choice...

No, no, no! Hakuto! Your character is about to break down!!

Hakuto shook off the bad thoughts, recalling the ancient teachings that combined gambling and drugs for a reason. 

Once you get involved, it's hard to wash off...

No wonder there are so many stories of cold, high-class girls falling into depravity...

After getting off the train, Miku walked in front, braving the evening cold wind, while Hakuto followed closely behind.

It wasn't that Hakuto was walking slowly, but he was thinking about something.

Today! Where should he sleep? It was such a tough choice... maybe he should draw lots?

Hiss~ How did this feel like some ancient noble deciding which side of the mansion to sleep in? With a flipping of cards!

The good thing about a harem is, as long as you solve the emotional matters, everything else will be happy—basically, being a modern emperor.

"About Yotsuba..." Hakuto frowned. Among the five sisters, only Yotsuba remained in the dark.

Perhaps this was the fate of the naive and sweet?

When Hakuto thought about confessing to Yotsuba, he couldn't help but smile.

Hakuto: "Out of the five, except for you, Yotsuba, the others are my girlfriends now."

Yotsuba: (゜ロ゜) Huh?

Just thinking about Nakano Yotsuba's silly expression made Hakuto want to laugh!

No, no! Now's not the time to think about that—what he should be thinking about is going back and getting some sleep...

"Does the president know how to cook? You haven't been eating takeout everyday these past few days, have you...?"

"Hakuto, we're here."

"Oh, okay... Wait, we're here?" Hakuto looked at the apartment in front of him, momentarily confused.

What the heck—he was just debating where to go, and now he'd somehow ended up right in front of the five sisters' apartment!

Well, since he was already here, he might as well go back tomorrow.

At the same time, in the sisters' apartment, inside Nino's room—

"Ichika... you're saying that last night, you confessed to Shiratori, and then Shiratori agreed?"

Ichika nodded. Seeing this, Nino turned her head toward Itsuki.

"Itsuki, you're saying you couldn't sleep, so you went to lie next to Shiratori, and then half-asleep you just accepted his confession?"

"Mhm~"

"Mhm your head!" Nino was so frustrated she laughed. "So I was the only one sleeping properly last night?"

"You couldn't sleep, and somehow going to Shiratori's place made you able to?"

"It really did... I slept like a baby next to Shiratori-sensei..."

"Aaaargh!"

Ichika tried to calm her down. "Nino, don't be mad. At least yesterday, Yotsuba was just like you, sleeping soundly in her own bed."

"Speaking of which, where is Yotsuba?"

"Probably in the living room playing that Three Kingdoms Kill game again. Only someone like her could be so oblivious..."

Yotsuba: I will definitely become the Governor of Yizhou!

Nino sighed. No wonder she felt a chill down her back yesterday—it turns out someone snuck in and stole the win from her.

Air conditioner: Speak for me!

"Right, I guess Miku's situation is about the same too..."

"After spending a whole day alone with him, I wouldn't be surprised if things are already way beyond that..." Nino muttered in frustration.

She was really mad now! Truly mad! That Shiratori Hakuto seriously needed to be taught a lesson!

"Oh right, Itsuki! Be honest with me."

"About what?"

"Did you and Shiratori do those things?"

"Eh?!"

Itsuki was completely caught off guard by Nino's question, but a second later she understood what Nino was really asking.

"Pfft—Nino! Have you no shame..."

"Itsuki!"

"No! Okay?!"

Itsuki had no idea why Nino was so fixated on this. It was just a matter of order, wasn't it?

Nino let out a breath of relief. This kind of thing was like an obsession—if she didn't get it, it would definitely become a thorn in her heart!

Even if it wasn't his first time, at least let her be the first among the sisters!

But just as the three were deep in discussion, Miku suddenly pushed open the door and came in.

"Miku?" Ichika raised an eyebrow. "How did you know we were all in here?"

"Nino's voice is really loud..."

"Ahem... let's not talk about that..." Nino stood up and closed the door. "Where's Shiratori?"

"He's outside playing Three Kingdoms Kill with Yotsuba..." Miku walked into the room and sat down.

Ichika nudged Nakano Miku with her elbow and asked,

"How's the battle going?"

"Ichika tricked me..."

"Hey~ how can you call it tricking? I just wanted you to face your true feelings."

"So now, Yotsuba is the only one who still doesn't know anything?"

"More like, Yotsuba is the only one who hasn't become Shiratori-sensei's girlfriend..."

On the way back, Hakuto had already explained things to Miku. After all, in the days to come, something like this couldn't be kept secret for long.

Ichika linked arms with the other three and said,

"Alright, time for the first official gathering of Shiratori Hakuto's harem!"

"Why are you so excited, Ichika?"

"Yeah, and we're still missing two people..."

Nino said flatly, completely unaware of the shock her words would cause.

Seeing the confused expressions on the others' faces, Nino frowned.

"You guys... Shiratori didn't tell you?"

"I thought it was just us five sisters..."

"Me too..."

"I only know about Sora Ginko..."
