"Hmmm~" A girl hummed as she looked at herself in the mirror. She then heard her door getting knocked and someone opened the door and went inside.
"Ichika have you see- Are you going somewhere, Ichika?" A girl asked while eyeing her sister, who was taking a look at her own outfit.
"Hmm? Nino?" Ichika stopped her humming and faced her sister, "Oh, I'm just going to hangout with a friend."
"Hmm..." Nino looked at Ichika suspiciously and left Ichika's room.
Ichika breathed a sign relief and went out of her room. When she got down, she was noticed by her sisters. She also saw Nino with them and Miku asked her a question.
"Where are you going, Ichika?"
"I'll be hanging out with a friend. You guys want something when I get back?" Ichika asked and changed the topic as Itsuki answered.
"Will you be passing by the pastry shop we went yesterday?" Itsuki drooled while thinking about the food she had.
"I'll try." Ichika replied and took a quick look at the time. There's still 30 minutes before the meeting time, "I'll be going now girls," Ichika then left.
The Quints went back to lazying around but then Yotsuba suddenly spoke, "What if Ichika was meeting someone bad?" This got the other Quints stop whatever they were doing. All of them looked at each other and nodded to one another.
"We're going to follow Ichika?" Yotsuba asked.
Yotsuba looked at her sisters as they got ready and went outside, of course, Yotsuba followed them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ichika just arrived and already saw Fuutarou standing at the meeting place. He was getting flocked by a lot of girls so Ichika quickly approached Fuutarou.
"You should hang ou-" The girl wasn't able to finish her sentence as Ichika cut in.
"Fuutarou-kun!" Ichika said as she hugged Fuutarou's arms.
"Ichika?" Fuutarou said and smiled at her, "Sorry girls, it seems that my date is already here." Fuutarou apologized.
"No, it us who's sorry, we didn't know you already have a date." The girl said as they left Fuutarou and Ichika.
Fuutarou and Ichika watched as they left and they too, started to walk to their destination. Little did they know, someone or somefour was watching them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ichika's friend is Fuutarou." Miku said as she looked on Ichika and Fuutarou and was about to walk back home but Nino said something that made her stop her tracks.
"Wait, if Fuu-kun is Ichika's friend and she said that she'll hang out with a friend, doesn't that mean they are going on a date?" Nino voiced out her thoughts while putting her hand on her chin, a gesture that shows someone is thinking.
"Let's follow them!" Miku exclaimed as she tried to follow them but was stopped by Yotsuba and Itsuki.
"We shouldn't really follow them." Itsuki said acting as the big sister for her sisters.
"Itsuki is right!" Yotsuba agreed to Itsuki and both was starting to walk back but they were stopped by Nino and Miku.
"But aren't you two curious what would they do?" Nino convinces her sisters which succeeds because the two started walking to the direction Fuutarou and Ichika went.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After what happened back in the meeting place, Fuutarou and Ichika arrived at the Movie Theater. Fuutarou bought two tickets and snacks.
The movie they're about to watch is a Romcom movie about a guy and a girl who has feelings for each other but the girl is part of a triplet and two of them tries to ruin their relationship by impersonating their sister but as they spent time with him, they too fall in love with him.
As they watch the movie, Fuutarou, from time to time, secretly looks at Ichika's face as it went through different emotions.
When the movie is over Fuutarou and Ichika left together. They walked into their next destination as they talked about the ending of the Movie.
"I can't believe he married them all." Ichika said.
"Me neither." Fuutarou replied.
"The actress is really good, playing 3 roles at the same time. Also..." Ichika talked about the actress while walking together. She was so engrossed that she didn't notice Fuutarou's soft smile at her.
Ichika woke up when they finally arrived at a family restaurant and had lunch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the other Quints, they bought ticket to the movie and watched it. Of course, Itsuki bought a lot of snacks as they watch the movie. After it ended, they too was surprised about the ending and talked about it while following the two.
They too entered the family restaurant and had lunch. Itsuki wasn't satisfied with the snacks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After having lunch, Fuutarou and Ichika went to a clothes store where they tried a lot of different outfits together. Fuutarou tried a lot of different outfits and got Ichika and the other girls around bleed their nose while the guys clicked their tongues.
Having seen Fuutarou on different outfits, the Quints too blushed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After buying some clothes Ichika and Fuutarou went to buy some bubble tea(?) and continued to walk to their last destination.

While walking, Ichika offered hers to Fuutarou to which he accepted and took a sip.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fuutarou and Ichika arrived at the Arcade, their last destination for the day. For the two, it was like back then but without Raiha.
While walking around, Ichika saw a teddy bear in one of the claw machines. She stared at it for a few seconds and then looked away. Fuutarou noticed what was Ichika looking and saw the teddy bear. He invited her to the claw machine and tried his luck. Ichika was watching him as he try and fail the claw machine. After 4 tries, Fuutarou finally got the bear but tried the machine again.
Several tries later, he got another 5 teddy bears, 4 for the other Quints and one for his sister.
After that, they left the claw machines to try another machine but something happened that made them look around.
"Mom! Look there's 5 girls who look alike!" A child said while pointing at the direction of the other Quints
"Shhh, don't point." The mother said.
Fuutarou and Ichika looked at where the kid was pointing and saw the other Quints who was startled by the actions of the kid.
The Quints saw that Fuutarou and Ichika who was smiling but her eyes are closed, was looking at them. They didn't have a choice but to come out of their hiding spot and walked to the two of them.
Ichika approached her sisters and asked them questions.
"Were you following us?" Ichika asked 'cutely'.
The other Quints looked at each other and Yotsuba stepped forward.
"Umm, we thought that you'll be meeting someone bad." Yotsuba answered while scratching her head.
"Since when?" Ichika quickly followed.
"When you and Uesugi-san met." Yotsuba replied.
At this, Ichika face palmed and looked at her sisters. Fuutarou looked at the situation and sighed.
"You girls want to join us?" Fuutarou invited the Quints and they smiled at this. Ichika was pouting and turned her head away with a "Hmph" but Fuutarou consoled her by patting her head and this got her into smiles.
After that, Fuutarou and the Quints went and played with the different machines in the arcade.
As the sun went down, they too need to go home. So Fuutarou walked with the Quints to their apartment and after saying goodbyes, Fuutarou too went home.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As they continue with their days, the school announced a school camping trip. Fuutarou and the Quints prepares for the trip but Raiha becomes sick and Fuutarou wanted to stay home to take care of his sister but Raiha insisted that he go to the trip and gave him a charm for good luck. Fuutarou told Raiha that he's already late but a car stops in front of their house. Fuutarou went to the door to check who is it and saw the Nakano car and the Quints coming out of it while waving at him.
Raiha tells Fuutarou that she will be okay and that he needs to go to the trip. Fuutarou thanks Raiha and went to get his stuff that he packed for the trip.
After Fuutarou got in, the car droved to the camping site. And because they're late, Fuutarou and the Quints needed to share a room together. The Quints didn't have a problem at this as they already slept together in the Quints' apartment.
They played together and had dinner. They went to sleep as tomorrow is the start of the activities.

Author Section :
1434 words. I felt free while doing the date part. Also the movie they watched, I may actually make that to real novel. If no one have made it yet.
Sorry for the late upload. I was low on time as school activities are too many.
I don't know how it works in other countries but in the Philippines, there's preschool that has 3 levels, elementary after preschool, 6 levels. Highschool is after elementary and is divided to two which is Junior and Senior. Junior is 4 levels and Senior is 2 levels. College is after Senior.
I'm at the 4th level of Junior which is called grade 10. It's also the grade where students have to pick their career paths. And the school year is almost over. Here in the Philippines, a school year is divided into 4 parts. 1st grading, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. 1st and 2nd grading is the first semester and 3rd and 4th is the second semester.
We're currently on 3rd quarter so the teachers have a lot of activities and quizzes to give.
So I'm sorry for the delay. Oh yeah, it's hard to copy someone's attitude who's not you. Also, while writing Ichika's route, I fell in love with her character. That's why I want to do my best to write her personality and who she is. I want you readers to fall in love with her too.
Next chapter, Camping with the Quints.
