Miku heard Ichika's words, and her expression froze for a moment. She didn't know how to respond, unsure of what words to use.
After thinking for a long time, she just slowly nodded.
In Miku's eyes, Hakuto had no reason to like her. It all came too suddenly, too dreamlike...
It was like a boy you've secretly liked for a long time, and he likes you too. While it's fortunate, it also feels a little unreal.
"What's wrong? Miku, you don't believe what I said?" Ichika asked as she noticed Miku's hesitation, continuing to speak.
"No..." Miku didn't think Ichika was lying to her, because just a few hours ago, Hakuto had said to her directly if she wanted to be his girlfriend.
"By the way... what do you mean by saying that Hakuto has feelings for you?"
"I mean exactly what I said, the palm and the back of the hand..."
Though both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, the flesh on the back of the hand is never as plentiful as that on the palm.
If both are equally important, then it's time to decide which one is more important.
Just like fingers, the pinky is indeed the least important one. In medicine, losing a pinky is even considered a minor injury!
"Miku..." Ichika slowly embraced Miku and whispered on her shoulder, "If I asked you to share Hakuto with me, would you agree?"
Ichika's tone was very serious, with no hint of joking.
Hearing this, Miku immediately pushed Ichika away, quickly stood up, and leaned against the wall, warily watching Ichika.
"Ichika..." Miku's voice trembled slightly. She bit her lip, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Miku, I'm serious..." Ichika stepped forward and gently embraced Miku again.
"Why... why..."
"Just consider it selfishness from an older sister..." Ichika smiled helplessly, but the smile looked quite painful.
"Miku, I really like Hakuto... really..."
"If possible, I hope you can convince Hakuto to accept me..."
Ichika's voice grew softer, filled with pleading, her eyes were tearful, as if she might break down at any moment.
"Is it okay?"
"I... I..."
Miku, hearing this, crouched down and shook her head desperately!
She didn't know, she didn't know whether she should agree to Ichika...
Sharing someone she liked, though it's just a few simple words, it was incredibly difficult when it came to actually doing it...
But Miku didn't know how to refuse Ichika, because she herself knew that Hakuto had feelings for Ichika...
No, not just for Ichika, if that's the case, then Hakuto probably has feelings for all five of them!
And Miku also knew that the five of them, no matter who, more or less liked Hakuto...
Although they were sisters, this unspoken and unspoken rivalry had been going on for a long time.
But one side was family, the other side was someone she liked. Just as Ichika said, the palm and the back of the hand are both flesh, and it's hard to choose...
Miku didn't want to see her sisters sad, nor did she want to give up Hakuto.
"Miku, I remember Nino told me something..." Ichika squatted down in front of Miku.
"Nino said that family and lovers, compared to each other, family is always more important."
Ichika didn't continue, as in her impression, Nino would definitely be willing to share Hakuto, and she was indeed doing so right now.
Otherwise, when Ichika confessed to Hakuto just now, Nino would have probably jumped out of the closet and kicked her in the head.
It must be said that Nino really placed family and lovers on the same level, and Ichika admired how generous Nino was in letting go of her lover.
Oh, right, Ichika still didn't know about Ginko and Nao, so she thought Nino was being particularly magnanimous.
Miku squatted on the ground, listening to Ichika's words, and remained silent for a long time.
What Ichika said was true. Lovers, in a sense, couldn't compare to family, who had been with you for more than ten years.
So even though all five sisters liked Hakuto, they hadn't done anything to harm the family bond just to fight over him.
There were no political struggles or rivalry like in novels and anime, because all five sisters knew that they were a family.
And now, a method that could satisfy both family and lover was right in front of Miku, and it only required her to say a few words to make it happen.
But, moving those words... was really not that easy...
"Miku, you know Hakuto's personality. Even though it's sharing, the part that belongs to you will never be less..."
Miku nodded.
"Actually, it's not just me. Yotsuba, Nino, and Itsuki feel the same..."
"If there was a way for all five of us sisters to get what we want, why not go for it?" Ichika smiled and didn't push Miku anymore.
She was simply stating a fact.
