"Kamikawa-kun, you didn't choose to give up because it takes too much time, did you?"
Based on his answer, Chika made a guess.
"Yes."
If it only takes a few days, then Ren could also ask Chika to teach him as he requested to Hayasaka.
In return, he could also owe Chika a favor, or help her with something.
But taking one month of his guarantee time, he really didn't know how to pay it back, so he had to give up.
"That makes sense. Stopping the loss of time is also a good choice." Chika analyzed seriously, "Luckily, I didn't teach you how long it would take before, or else I would have wasted a lot of time."
"Um."
This could be considered as the only thing to celebrate.
"Fujiwara-san, do you have any recommendations for buying board games?"
Since Ren no longer needed her to teach him, he certainly didn't need to call her Chika-sensei anymore.
"There are quite a lot."
Chika could mention many recommended board games casually.
"But, if you want to buy a board game as a gift for Ogata-san, shouldn't you decide which board game to buy based on what board games she already has?"
"It would be embarrassing to give Ogata-san a board game she already owns."
"That's true."
Ren had to say that Chika was very wise in this matter.
"In that case, let's go play with Ogata-san now, and see her board game collection." Chika made the decision.
"Go now?"
Ren was surprised, this development was a bit unexpected for him.
After checking the time, Chika continued, "What else? It's not too late, it's not even 3 p.m. yet."
"Time isn't the issue. But looking at her board game collection, doesn't that show my intention to give her a board game as a gift?"
This was what worried Ren the most.
Before giving a gift to someone else, he would keep the gift a secret very seriously and would never let the involved person know what the gift was beforehand.
"There's nothing to worry about. Ogata-san must know that you want to give her a board game." Chika said confidently.
"Why?"
Ren had never told Rizu that he was preparing a gift for her.
"Because she said she herself wants a board game." Chika reminded, "This is information you just told me. Didn't you think about this?"
"Sorry, I didn't think about that."
Because in Ren's mind, preparing a gift should be kept secret.
He did this with gifts for other people, and then usually wanted to keep the gift a secret from Rizu.
So much so that he unconsciously ignored the fact that Rizu said she wanted a board game.
"You're really slow in this." Chika complained.
"I'm used to keeping gifts from them."
Ren could only use this excuse to defend himself.
"Hmph..."
Taking this opportunity to tease him, Chika let him off for a while.
"Let's go to Ogata-san's house together!"
"Um."
Ren left the board game club with her.
As they walked, Chika asked curiously, "By the way, Kamikawa-kun, how many people have you given gifts to?"
She remembered Ren saying that he would give gifts to six girls in total.
"I've given three."
The gift for Fumino would be ready in October, and the gift for Miku would be ready by the end of this weekend.
"That's very efficient."
Chika thought the other party would only give at most one.
"Still a bit slow. Many gifts take a long time to prepare, and there's no way to send them immediately."
"Makes sense."
Anyway, Ren planned to learn to make a board game from scratch, and then make an original board game for Rizu.
If using this standard to prepare gifts for other people, it would indeed take a lot of time to prepare them.
"By the way, did you invite Kaguya-san to attend the fireworks show with us?"
Thinking about all the things that happened yesterday when she helped Kaguya buy a yukata, Chika brought it up.
"Yes. Any questions?"
Ren was already prepared for Chika to ask some strange questions.
Chika waved it off: "No problem. I think you did a great job!"
"I'm really excited to participate in the fireworks show with Kaguya-san!" She said excitedly, "I'm so lucky I came home early, or else I would have missed this great opportunity."
"It's Kaguya-san's first time attending a fireworks show."
"When the day of the fireworks show arrives, I'll definitely take Kaguya-san to have fun at the festival and leave the best memories for her."
The more Chika talked about it, the more she looked forward to the upcoming fireworks show.
"By the way, Kamikawa-kun, do you have any food or activities recommendations at the fireworks festival? I can ask Kaguya-san to try them."
"I've actually never participated in a fireworks show before." Ren answered.
"In that case, Kamikawa-kun, you can just stroll around the festival." Chika's tone immediately turned cold, "Of course, if you insist on strolling around with me and Kaguya-san, it's not impossible. I'm still very generous."
"I can just stroll around."
Ren made his choice without hesitation.
"What do you mean? Don't you like Kaguya-san?" Chika asked.
"I don't mind. I just made a promise with Itsuki and the others to go shopping together."
Since Kaguya had Chika to accompany for a walk, Ren didn't need to accompany her, so he could do something else.
"Sorry, I was rude."
Chika almost forgot that this guy, Kamikawa Ren, didn't lack girls to accompany him.
"It's okay."
Even though he didn't know why she apologized, Ren still responded.
"By the way, I can live in two worlds with Kaguya-san." Chika said happily.
"Um."
Just chatting occasionally about trivial things like fireworks shows and unimportant words, the two of them arrived at the door of Ogata Udon.
Opening the shop door, Chika entered, followed by Ren.
"Welcome... Fujiwara-san? Kamikawa?"
Rizu wearing a blue shop uniform, looked at the two who entered and exclaimed in surprise.
