His students turn out to be none other than his classmates, the quintuplets!
They’re the beautiful daughters of a wealthy noble that serves the royal family, but as Futaro is at the mercy of the five who “hate studying” and are “on the verge of failing,” he ends up learning the quintuplets’ “secret”…
