THIRD PERSON POV.

In the bustling streets of Japan, a tall young man can be seen standing outside of a cake shop named Revival. This young man was Uesugi Fuutarou, friend of Daisuke who had recently quit his job of being a tutor to the quintuplets.

"Excuse me."

A voice called out to him, and excited at the possibility of selling the product he had been advertising, he turned around quickly...only to find an all-too familiar face, or rather, faces.

"I'd like a cake to be delivered to our home, please."

He quickly calmed himself down from the initial shock he received from seeing the sisters, and replied in a rash manner.

"Deliveries? We don't do deliveries-"

He was smoothly interrupted by a man, late 30's, who had deep bags under his eyes.

"Uesugi-kun. I'll handle it from here, so you can go."

"W-Wait a minute, boss-"

He was, again, interrupted by the man, who put a cake box in his hands, before delivering his farewells with a scummy grin and a thumbs up to boot.

"Uesugi-kun. Merry Christmas!"

To add salt to the wound, he even added a little wink at the end of his sentence, before he returned to his shop.

Fuutarou heard a light giggle, and turned to find the sisters all grinning while watching the interaction, before they turned away from him.

"Well? Let's get going."

And thus, with a Santa costume and a sigh, off Uesugi went, following the five big bad wolves he knew as the Nakano sisters.

"Hold on a second--this isn't the way to your house, is it?"

Fuutarou walked closely behind the five sisters, confused as to where they were heading, as they seemed to have taken a different route than usual.

"Nope, it's not~"

Ichika said in a teasing way.

Fuutarou looked towards the ground, while still following the girls.

"Listen...I'm sorry about not telling you that I was quitting, but I can't go back to tutoring."

There was no response, instead he noticed that they had all stopped walking and he stopped as well, before looking up to face Itsuki, who held a paper towards him.

"Look at this. This is our new tutor."

Fuutarou grabbed the paper from Itsuki before looking at who their new tutor was, only to find a shady looking person with dyed blonde hair and a deep tan.

"We wanted you to see this."

He sighed before responding, trying not to show that he was a bit hurt over how quickly they got a new tutor, though his stutter probably gave it away.

"I-Is that so? I'm glad it didn't take long to find a new one."

He looked back at the paper to see the new tutor's qualities and began to recite them.

"So a graduate from Tokyo University and a former teacher...it definitely seems that he's qualified."

His response seemed to have snapped something in Nino, who quickly walked up to him and pointed a finger at him.
