"Good morning. We're going for a walk. Maybe we'll catch the sunrise. Get up."
"Huh? Mmm, I'm still sleepy, but… okay…" Ichika mumbled, pulling back the covers.
Badr found her completely unclothed.
"...Oh." Ichika blinked, meeting Badr's gaze as if just realizing her state of undress.
Badr's expression remained calm, not a hint of surprise showing.
"...Do I look good?" Ichika asked softly, blushing despite her intentional display.
"Beautiful. I really like it," Badr replied with a gentle smile, bending down to pick out an outfit from the pile of clothes. "You five sisters are all wearing the same thing today, right?"
"Hee hee, you're smart. But you can choose what I wear underneath!" Ichika said, her boldness peeking through her shyness.
She stood up, completely at ease with Badr, allowing him to admire her beauty.
"You want me to choose…?" Badr chuckled, playing along with her flirtatious tone.
After a moment of consideration, he selected a black set with lace trim.
'As expected of Ichika, the most mature and sensual of the sisters…' he thought. Nino, Miku, and Yotsuba's sets were still adorned with cute little white bear patterns.
By the time Ichika was dressed and ready, Yotsuba and the others were already waiting in the courtyard.
Nino and Miku exchanged glances, the memory of last night's intimacy bringing a flush to their cheeks and a subtle tension to their legs.
It was as if the lingering afterglow of their shared pleasure was still palpable.
Itsuki tilted her head, noticing that Nino's gait had returned to normal. But strangely, Miku now seemed to have a slight awkwardness in her walk.
…
The countryside morning air was crisp and cool. After greeting their grandfather, the five sisters and Badr set off towards the mountain behind the house.
They mentioned a shrine at the summit with a large bell, a popular spot for prayers during certain festivals.
On regular days, it served as a scenic jogging route, bustling with activity.
Yotsuba, brimming with energy, took the lead, practically skipping up the path.
Nino and Miku stayed close to Badr. Their relationships had taken a significant step forward the previous night, and they were now inseparable, much to Ichika's slight annoyance.
With her younger sisters clinging to Badr, she felt hesitant to intrude, even though she longed for some alone time with him as well.
Itsuki, on the other hand, was simply content to be hiking with Badr and her sisters.
They followed the winding path up the mountain, green moss clinging to the weathered stone steps. Towering trees lined the path, birds singing from their branches.
It wasn't a particularly breathtaking landscape, but it possessed a quiet charm that was refreshing and calming.
"Yotsuba, slow down! Don't fall!" Itsuki called out to her sister ahead.
Itsuki often acted more mature than her age, striving to emulate their deceased mother, hoping to become as kind and strong as she had been.
And the energetic Yotsuba was the one she worried about the most. Yotsuba seemed to have boundless energy, her stamina far surpassing the others.
Badr walked at a relaxed pace beside Miku, who had the least stamina of the five sisters.
"Tired?" he asked softly, noticing a light sheen of sweat on her forehead.
"I'm fine… I can keep going," Miku replied quietly, blushing as she met his gaze.
The memory of their intimate moments the previous night, the waves of pleasure, made her shy away from his eyes.
"If you get tired, I'll carry you," Badr offered with a smile. Miku nodded shyly.
"Honestly, you should really work on your stamina," Nino quipped, seeing Badr's attentiveness to Miku.
Miku puffed out her cheeks, looking adorably indignant. "I can make it up the mountain. 'You're' the one practically hanging on Badr."
"Hee hee, we're just helping each other out," Nino retorted, flipping her hair and sending a flirtatious glance at Badr.
"You mean, 'I'm' putting in ninety percent of the effort, and 'you're' putting in ten," Badr teased, discreetly pinching Nino's bottom. She jumped, her face flushing crimson, and quickly moved away.
She shot him a playful glare, mouthing a silent message.
'Jerk!'
Badr read her lips and chuckled.
The five quintuplets hiking together, all dressed identically, were undoubtedly a striking sight. The other early morning hikers stared in surprise.
However, they were mostly elderly folks; young people were a rare sight in the countryside these days.
After about half an hour, they finally reached the summit.
"We made it! Sunrise, sunrise~~" Yotsuba exclaimed, pointing excitedly at the rising sun. At this hour, it was safe to look directly at it, a perfect crimson orb resting on the horizon, painting the sky in breathtaking hues.
Gazing at the view and the town below, Itsuki shouted joyfully, "Yahoo~~~"
Her voice echoed across the valley. Her eyes crinkled into crescents, radiating pure happiness.
Badr bought some breakfast from a nearby stall at the shrine, handing out steaming buns to everyone. He noticed Itsuki making binoculars with her hands, admiring the distant scenery.
Charmed by her cuteness, he quietly approached her from behind.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, holding a fluffy white bun in front of her face.
"Ah…" Itsuki jumped slightly at the sudden embrace, her view replaced by two round, white objects.
She turned, a playful pout forming on her lips as she recognized Badr.
"You scared me!"
"And you're complaining? I brought you food!" Badr chuckled, his arms still around her waist. Itsuki always had a hearty appetite, yet maintained a trim figure. He often wondered where all that energy went.
"I'll forgive you if it's delicious." Itsuki smiled, taking the bun and biting into it.
"Mmm~ so good… so juicy…" The savory juices dribbled down her chin.
"Let me try some."
"Eh? Here." Itsuki offered him the half-eaten bun.
Badr chuckled and shook his head, leaning in close. "Just a taste is enough."
He gently kissed her, savoring the lingering flavor of the bun before pulling away with a satisfied nod.
"It is good."
Itsuki blinked, her mind momentarily blank. "...??"
Then, a blush crept up her neck and stained her cheeks.
Like Miku, Itsuki was also an innocent soul, easily flustered by such a sweet gesture.
Some elderly women doing their morning exercises nearby happened to witness the scene. They giggled, giving Badr a thumbs-up.
'These youngsters these days… so bold,' they seemed to say, clearly amused by the display of affection.
Itsuki, mortified by the attention, shot Badr a shy glare.
'This jerk… so embarrassing, with everyone watching…'
"Ahem!"
A voice interrupted them.
Badr turned to see Yotsuba standing there, an awkward smile on her face.
"I seem to have come at a bad time."
"Not at all! You came just in time," Itsuki quickly reassured her.
Badr thought, 'Well, you just stole my line.'
"Yotsuba, do you want a kiss too?" He teased, grinning at her.
Yotsuba's eyes widened in surprise. She glanced at the elderly women still watching them and shook her head vigorously.
"N-No, thank you! Hahaha…" She grabbed Badr's arm. "I actually need your help with something!"
"Oh? What is it?"
"Come with me!" Yotsuba pulled him towards the small courtyard of the shrine.
Badr waved to Itsuki, who watched them shyly as Yotsuba led him away.
…
Once inside the courtyard, Yotsuba pulled Badr toward a tree.
"Squat down."
"What for?" Badr asked, puzzled.
"Just help me out…" Yotsuba tugged on his arm.
With a sigh, Badr complied. The next thing he knew, Yotsuba had climbed onto his shoulders.
"Quick, lift me up! I can almost reach it!" Yotsuba said excitedly, perched on his shoulders.
"Be careful now, dear."
A middle-aged woman emerged from the shrine, accompanied by a teenage girl. Both held badminton rackets, and the woman carried a small stool.
Badr looked up and saw a badminton birdie stuck in the branches. Yotsuba was reaching for it.Â
