"What are you doing?"

Ryuuji could only stare as Futaro spoke up at the security camera in front of the building. He noticed Miku walking  towards them.

"Did you not tell him about the keypad?" He asked, recieving a shake of the head in response.

"No, I didn't...Futaro, you can punch in our apartment number on this keypad." Miku stated as she intered her keycard into said keypad. "It'll call us."

"Whoa! O-Of course I knew that..." Futaro muttered.

"No, no you didn't. You were talking to the CCTV like an idiot." Ryuuji responded as they entered the building, entered an elevator and entered the Nakano residence.

As Futaro went upstairs to gather the others, Ryuuji and Miku set up in the living room. Eventually, everyone bar Nino was sat in the living room.

'Okay! We're all set! Let's start studying!" Yotsuba exclaimed, her arms raised in the air.

"I think I'll just watch..." Ichika muttered with a yawn.

"Teach us Japanese history like you said you would." Miku demanded, staring up at the two tutors.

"I'm just going to be studying on my own here, so don't mind me." Itsuki stated as she sat at the nearby table. Ryuuji sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

'Still more problems to deal with...but hey...there's some progress at least...'  He thought  to himself, before putting on his usual smile. "Yosh! Let's start!"

"You're still here? Still haven't given up on tutoring, huh?" Nino said from upstairs.

"Says the one who tried to drug us." Ryuuji retorted, instantly losing his smile. The look on his face made Nino falter slightly. 

"Would you like to join us, Nino?" Futaro asked, acting the 'nice tutor' with a fake smile on his face.

"Over my dead body." She quickly retorted.

"That can be arranged..." Ryuuji muttered to himself. "Well, I suppose it'll just be us." He said aloud.

"Ahaha! Alright, let's go without her today!" 

"Yes!" Yotsuba responded gleefully, as Nino slowly descended the stairs.

"Oh yeah, Yotsuba. My acquaintances on the basketball team are looking for someone to fill in for a game. You're pretty athletic. Why don't you go right now?"

"R-Right now? But..." Yotsuba seemed unsure.

"Apparently, they only have five members, and one of them broke a bone." Nino continued, as Ryuuji gripped his biceps tightly.

'I'm gonna kill her, I'm gonna kill her, I'm gonna kill her...'

"They can't play if they won't be able to find someone. I feel bad for them." Nino only continued onward, as she took notice to Ryuuji's left leg continuously bouncing up and down.

"Yotsuba...don't..."  Futaro muttered.

"They must have practiced hard...poor them..."

"Yotsuba..." Ryuuji basically growled out, his leg still bouncing.

"Uesugi-san, Ryuuji-san, sorry!" Yotsuba stood and bowed. "I just can't abandon people in need!" She ran for the door and left.

"Ah damn it..." Futaro's head hung low.

"She doesn't know how to say no." Ichika told them, as Nino turned to her next.

"Ichika, didn't you say you had work at two?" She asked, as her elder sister turned to the clock in shock.
