Half an hour later, a black car arrived at the entrance of Sakura Kyu Academy.
A short-haired teenage girl clad in the freshman uniform of the Sakura Kyu Academy stepped out from the driver's seat. As she walked, she quickened her steps to stop in front of Furuhashi Natsui.
Before Natsui could open her mouth to speak, her forehead was hit with a mighty edge-hand blow.
"Ouch…"
Natsui covered her forehead with both of her hands. She could tell without a glance that her forehead was red for sure. She glared at her elder sister who was born a second earlier than her and said unhappily, "Harunaka, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Furuhashi Harunaka was so angry that she laughed. She pulled Natsui's hands from her forehead and gave her another edge-hand blow. The intensity of the strike was so painful that Natsui ended up in tears.
At this moment, Furuhashi Akino and Furuhashi Fuyuno got off the car.
Fuyuno came to Natsui and stuck the band-aid on the forehead of her second elder sister who was born two seconds earlier than her.
Akino yawned, "Natsui, I didn't play video games because of you. I want half of your next month's allowance, or else I'll tell Dad."
"Keep on dreaming. I'm your second elder sister. You can't threaten me!"
"You were only born one second earlier than me, and I've never even seen you address Harunaka as your sister."
"Oh…" Just as Akino was done talking, Harunaka gave her an edge-hand blow to the forehead. Looking at the gleeful Natsui, she complained, "Harunaka's the reason to why we're so stupid, it's her fault."
Harunaka laughed, "Fuyuno has never been beaten by me ever since she was little, yet her academic scores are still as bad as ours."
Being dragged into the argument unexpectedly, Fuyuno looked at them and said, "Stop fooling around, someone else is here."
Everyone came to their senses after hearing Fuyuno's words.
A flicker of awkwardness flashed in Harunaka's eyes. Looking at Kimura Kazuki, clad in the sophomore uniform of Sakura Kyu Academy, she pressed Natsui's head as she made a slight bow to Kazuki, "Thank you for helping our sister, senior."
"I've already said thanks… ouch," Natsui who was mumbling to herself hissed in pain as she felt her waist being pinched. She looked at Harunaka with tearful eyes and saw that she was glaring at herself. Thus, she gave in, and reluctantly said, "Thank you for your help, senior."
Kazuki nodded his head as he observed the four girls in front of him. Except for their hairstyle, they all had similar height, appearance, and even body figure, which was quite surprising.
He never thought that he would see quadruplets. Looking at Natsui and Fuyuno, he had felt that they were twins when he was on the way here.
Seeing Kazuki looking at herself, Fuyuno bowed slightly, "Thank you for coming to the rescue, senior."
"Don't mention it." Kazuki was unbothered by the other three watching him and Fuyuno in curiosity, as they had not expected the two of them to have had any interaction. He pointed at the Sun and Moon Sword, "Can you return my belonging to me now?"
Surprisingly, Natsui held on to the Sun and Moon Sword tightly, "Can I keep it as a souvenir? Of course, I can pay for it."
Upon seeing Kazuki frown, Harunaka grabbed the Sun and Moon Sword from Natsui's hands and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, senior. My sister has always been unruly and accustomed to being wild. Please don't mind her."
That much was obvious.
Natsui was different from the other three Furuhashi sisters. Her long hair was dyed golden, her nails were painted pink with nail polish, and there was a silver earring on her left ear.
Her skirt, which was supposed to be knee-length, had been altered, so the hemline only reached her thighs.
The female freshman school uniform of the Sakura Kyu Academy, which was a midi skirt, had now become a mini skirt. At first glance, it was evident that she was a delinquent.
However, Natsui was not the only one who had altered the midi skirt into a mini skirt. The other three sisters had also modified their skirts.
Kazuki was handed the wooden samurai sword but noticing that his eyes were roving around her sisters' thighs, Harunaka frowned in anger and annoyance.
As Kazuki began to speak, his tone of voice was no longer harmonious but had turned cold, "You girls are freshmen of Sakura Kyu, right?"
Without waiting for a reply, he pointed to their short skirts,
"The female school uniform of Sakura Kyu freshmen is supposed to be knee-length skirts. For altering them, you will be given a minor demerit as per school rules. I'll turn a blind eye for now, but you have to either alter your skirt to its original style or buy a new one from the school," he went on.
"If you don't alter it, I won't remind you all again later. Each time I see it, I will give you all a minor demerit. Every three minor demerits are equal to a major demerit. If you get three major demerits, I will recommend the school to expel you all from school."
"Especially you." Kazuki looked at Natsui and ignoring her angry eyes. He said flatly, "Be sure to dye your hair back to its original color, remove your nail polish and remove your earring. Otherwise, you will get a major demerit in a few days."
"But we've been like this since middle school, and nobody cares." Akino poked her head out from behind her eldest sister, "Don't be so uptight, senior."
"I'm the Head of the Disciplinary Committee, this is my job," said Kazuki slowly, "In any event, middle school was in middle school, but high school is high school. You may have done anything you wanted in middle school, but it doesn't mean that you can still do so in high school."
"But I saw some other students who also shortened their skirts, how come the Disciplinary Committee members don't manage them?" Fuyuno, who usually disliked disputes, stood up as well.
They had no choice since the summer heat was too hot, especially in Tokyo. Although it was only April and the weather had not turned hot yet, but they had already gotten used to wearing short skirts.
Of course, to avoid flashing people by accident, everyone wore safety pants underneath.
"It's only been two days since school started, some freshmen are still not familiar with the school rules. In a few days, regardless of gender, I will make honest students out of them."
Upon hearing this, Fuyuno thought of this afternoon's situation and could not help but stay silent.
"Can't you make an exception?" Harunaka looked at Kazuki eagerly, softening her tone of voice suddenly, "Can't you see, senior? Since you've saved my sister, we're familiar with each other now. As such, we'll be friends after this, and between friends, you can ignore these small things, right?"
Kazuki shook his head with a blank expression on his face. He did not even know the names of these girls. How could they be friends? It was quite possible that after this meeting, there would not be any contact between them anymore.
Even though freshmen and sophomores were in the same building, it was strange for students of different forms to be seen with each other while they were in school.
"Don't worry, the school won't expel us. After all, our dad's donated large amounts of money to the school," said Natsui challengingly.
"Try to expel us from school if you can! Otherwise, you're not a man! Tomorrow, I'm going to let my boyfriend, Kazuki teach you a lesson. He's the biggest delinquent in this area. I'm sure you've heard about him!"
Upon hearing this, Fuyuno was stunned. She took a look at Natsui, who looked gleeful and another look at Kazuki who was expressionless, a feeling of shame rose up. She then looked down and said, "I'll get in the car first."
Before the other three sisters could react, they heard Kazuki speak again.
"Don't forget to follow the school rules. As quadruplets, the four of you will be well-known in school. I'll have the other Disciplinary Committee members monitor you all. So if there's nothing else, I would like to excuse myself first."
After speaking, he gave Natsui a meaningful look and left without another word.
