Chapter 729: Rizu’s Highly Desired Gift
"Yes, Kamikawa-kun will give you a board game."
Seeing it, Chika informed her right away.
"Um."
Rizu was still very happy to hear that her guess was correct.
"So, let me see which board games you don't have, and Kamikawa-kun will give them to you as a gift."
With that, Chika sat in front of the board games she had taken out and began to inspect them one by one.
"Actually, just give me a board game." Rizu said softly, "I don't care about this."
While she does like board games, instead of receiving board games of her own, she hopes someone will play board games with her.
"Anyway, let me see which board games you have first."
Chika didn't want to complain anymore about the gift-giving exchange between Ren and Rizu.
"Oh."
So Rizu didn't say anything else but chose to sit beside Ren.
"I heard Fumino say all their gifts have been given to you?"
"Ichika hasn't given me a gift yet."
There's no need to hide such a thing.
"Kamikawa-kun, do you like board games?"
Seeing Chika inspecting the board games one by one, Rizu brought this up.
"I don't dislike them, nor do I love them."
There's no problem playing board games with others, but he doesn't have a passion for board games like Rizu or Chika.
"Mhm…"
Rizu was about to say something when Chika's voice suddenly sounded.
"Ogata-san, you actually have this board game. I've always wanted to buy it but couldn't."
At the moment, Chika was holding a relatively large box of board games, looking very surprised.
Glancing at the board game in her hands, Rizu explained, "That was bought by my dad as a birthday gift for me a few years ago."
"Can I open it and see?"
Chika turned to look at Rizu and asked hopefully.
"Okay." She nodded, then said, "How about we play now, we have enough people."
"…"
Hearing this, Chika suddenly fell silent.
If this had happened in the past or under normal circumstances, she would have agreed without thinking twice about Rizu's proposal to play board games with her.
But now...
After silently assessing Ren, Chika became very confused.
She was decisively defeated in board games today, and she really wasn't too sure if she could beat Ren in board games.
"I don't mind."
While Chika was still pondering, Ren agreed.
After taking a deep breath, Chika said aggressively, "Then I don't mind, let's see how I beat you, Kamikawa-kun!"
He's her lifelong rival, and now that he's agreed, she can't back down from the battle!
Risking the honor of the board game club, she must win this time!
······
"Kamikawa wins again."
As the dice turned to six again, Rizu laid down her cards and stated the outcome.
"Yes."
Chika said somewhat stiffly.
In the few board games they had just played, Ren was the winner every time, with Rizu being the ultimate loser, and she always ended up as the runner-up.
If it weren't for the fact that his methods of winning were different every time, Chika would truly wonder if she was caught in some sort of weird time loop.
Of course, during the board games, she also tried to beat Ren.
For example, using cheating methods to see the next event card in advance, and artificially manipulating dice rolls, etc...
And yet, she still remained in second place, and cheating didn't affect it at all.
As for the stakes of the board game club's glory, losing to Ren didn't matter at all.
"Still want to continue?"
After sorting their cards, Ren asked their opinions.
"I can still play." Rizu said happily.
Even though she always ended up last in the board games they played earlier, she still had fun.
After all, she's used to being last.
"We're here to identify Ogata's board game deficiencies and give her the gift. We're not here to play board games." Chika said seriously.
Anyway, at least for today, she has no intention of playing board games with Ren.
Facing absolute luck, she couldn't win even if she cheated.
Ren took advantage of this situation and asked, "Which board games does Ogata not have?"
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished reading it."
They were playing board games in the middle of watching it, so she didn't have time to watch the rest.
"Okay."
Hearing that, Ren could only wait again.
"Kamikawa, I actually don't want board games. I have plenty of board games here, all kinds."
Rizu tugged at his shirt, causing him to turn, then whispered.
"Eh? Then what do you want?"
If that's the issue, Ren needs to rethink what gift he'll give her.
Looking directly into his eyes, Rizu said, "I want you to play board games with me."
"…"
Ren didn't speak, he just gazed into her eyes.
"Is that okay?"
"Sure."
Under her gaze, Ren gave answer.
"Then how can I play board games with you?"
Generally, this situation is like he's giving them tutoring, and they'll agree to the time, right?
"It's up to you, Kamikawa, I usually stay at home more." Rizu was just expressing her thoughts, "Come here occasionally and play one or two board games with me."
"I remember you saying this to me before."
These familiar words reminded Ren of something.
"Yes, but you rarely come." Rizu didn't forget about this.
"I'm sorry."
Ren apologized for this incident.
He plays board games and other things at Itsuki's house, playing with Rizu and the others.
But the frequency of him taking the initiative to come to Rizu's house and play board games with her is very rare, it's overstated to say that he never comes to her house.
"It's okay, just come here occasionally." Rizu said nonchalantly.
"I'll come again later."
Ren agreed.
