Upon reaching Itsuki's door, Ren opens it and enters.
Before taking a shower, Itsuki briefly introduced the rooms they were in, so he would know which room to enter.
Since he had entered before to see it during the previous introduction, this wasn't the first time he entered Itsuki's room.
Itsuki's room was quite tidy and everything was neatly arranged.
It was much better than Mafuyu and Gabriel's room when he didn't help clean.
"Full-length mirror, desk... What's this?"
Ren looks around the room and finds a white kitten sleeping on desk.
He still remembers the kitten statue he and Itsuki bought from the milk tea shop.
He also placed his own on the table.
After surveying the room, Ren sits on the bed.
Since he stayed here for one night, the sheets and other items were replaced with new ones.
He feels like he's caused a lot of trouble for her.
Taking off glasses, Ren remembers his conversation with Nino in the living room earlier.
"Why did I just apologize?"
Thinking about what he said to Nino when he went upstairs, he's a bit confused about what he was thinking at the time.
Clearly, he didn't do anything wrong... There's no reason to apologize to Nino.
Is that true?
As he approaches the full-length mirror and sees himself in the mirror without glasses, Ren isn't sure.
He has apologized to others many times, so he's quite adept at apologizing.
So, was it because of his habit earlier that he apologized to Nino?
It seems like this is the only explanation...
Ren can't understand it; he can't understand it at all.
Even so, Ren still doesn't understand why he had to apologize to Nino just now.
Strange emotions, another strange emotion.
Sitting on the bed again, Ren feels very uncomfortable.
This strange emotion now makes him feel much more uncomfortable than the discomfort he felt when he called Ichika his older sister.
To ease his emotions, Ren takes out phone and wants to ask someone.
But, who should he ask?
Gabriel is no longer in the world, and he can't reveal that he's not an ordinary person.
In this situation, he has no one to ask.
...
Putting away the phone and turning off the light, Ren lies on the bed and closes his eyes.
Since he can't understand it, just ignore it.
Just run away.
When faced with a problem he can't understand, he always chooses to use escapism to deal with it.
So far, no problems have arisen.
Therefore, now he just needs to do the same thing as before, don't worry about why he just apologized to Nino, and don't delve into how that uncomfortable emotion arose.
The next day, at 8:00 in the morning.
Ren wakes up on time, puts on glasses, tidies up his slightly messy clothes from sleeping, straightens the bed, and then leaves Itsuki's room.
"Good morning, Kamikawa."
As soon as he exits the room, Fumino's voice is heard.
"Good morning."
After exchanging greetings, Ren sees Fumino slowly coming from below.
"Nino has prepared breakfast. If you're hungry, you can go ahead and eat."
Upon reaching him, Fumino points downstairs and reminds him.
"Okay."
"In that case, I'll wake up the others."
Fumino doesn't say anything else and starts knocking on the doors one by one.
Ren walks downstairs.
"Kamikawa-san, you wake up early. I only asked Fumino not to wake you up."
Seeing Ren, who has just finished washing his face, Nino, wearing an apron, jokes with a smile.
"I'm used to it." He replies softly.
"Kouhai-kun is very diligent."
Asumi also wearing an apron, comes out of the kitchen and greets him: "Are you hungry? In that case, you can eat first."
"No, let's wait until they wake up and eat together."
After that, Ren sits on the sofa.
"In that case, we can only hope Fumino can wake them up." Nino says somewhat helplessly.
"It seems like Nino has lost hope in Fumino."
After fetching a glass of warm water from the kitchen and placing it in front of Ren, Asumi asks with a hint of hesitation.
"Thank you." Ren says thank you.
"Um, they're all very good at sleeping."
Nino knows her sisters very well, and generally, they won't wake up before noon.
If she doesn't wake up to cook for Ren and the others, she would still be sleeping now.
"Isn't it a bit rude to call them for breakfast this early?"
It feels too cruel to wake someone up specifically for breakfast.
"It's okay. After breakfast, I'll go back to sleep."
Nino feels there's nothing wrong with this.
"That's good."
As they chat, Ichika and the others are also awakened by Fumino and come out one by one.
"Good morning, Ren-kun."
Seeing Ren sitting on the sofa, Ichika greets him.
Ren replies: "Good morning."
"By the way, how was your sleep last night? Did anything attack you at night?"
Her eyes sweep Miku and Itsuki, who are queuing up to shower, and Ichika asks with a smile.
"I slept soundly."
After answering this question first, Ren asks out of curiosity: "What's a night attack?"
"It's difficult for me to explain this." Ichika says very shyly, "Can you interpret it as if someone came to your room last night?"
"No one did."
He's a person with superpowers; as long as someone entered his room last night, he would have noticed immediately.
"Ichika, what are you suspicious of? Kamikawa-san is a guy!"
Hearing the conversation between Ichika and him, Nino complains.
"What's wrong with guys? Guys should also be careful, especially guys as popular as Ren-kun." Ichika asserts.
Ren retorts: "I'm not popular."
He's just an ordinary person and has nothing to do with popularity.
"Kouhai-kun, you're very slow." Asumi says helplessly.
Ren is clearly the most popular guy she's ever seen, bar none.
She really doesn't know how he dares to say that he's not popular.
