The Quintessential Quintuplets: Grant the World a Little Peace and Quiet

It's not just about studying. What we really want is to understand you. From dislike to affection, those feelings of love had been building day by day until they overflowed. “Honestly, you see right through me every time. But if it's you, I wouldn't mind.” “Hmph, even someone like you has at least one person in this world who likes you. Ha, what's with that look? Of course that person is me!” “This heart of mine has grown confident because of you. I never thought that could happen. You said I would shine someday, so I want you to see what I'm like then. Please stay by my side, okay?” “Thank you so much for always caring about me. I never had a chance to thank you, but now that I finally do, I've realized that what I feel for you might be more than gratitude. Is this… the ‘love’ Mom talked about?” “What, I have to choose one between you, food, and studying? Then of course I'll choose… Of course I'll choose you! Ah! What did I just say… W-wait! It's because if I choose you, I won't have to worry about food or studying. Don't read too much into it. You said that the most important thing at our age is studying!” … I was so lucky to meet the best girls during the most beautiful years of my life. Looking back, they divided those years of youth into five equal parts, and my world had long since become inseparable from those five girls. Even just sitting quietly together, watching the sun rise and the sunset glow, brought a peace unlike anything else in this life. If that's the case, then let me grant the world in my heart a little peace, for the girls who shone for me forever during those brief years of youth!
