"No, Kaguya-sama, the summer vacation just started not long ago, and there's still plenty of time before the fireworks show begins." Hayasaka said calmly, correcting herself, "This also means you won't be here before the fireworks show, and I'm still in a very boring state."
As she said this, Kaguya's mood immediately turned sour.
"But that's better than not being able to do anything beforehand."
"That's true." Hayasaka didn't argue, "But the most important thing for you now is to consider how to respond to him."
"By the way, my personal advice is to not be silent at all and just agree."
"Why do you want to emphasize this?"
Kaguya was editing the reply message, then asked.
"Because based on what I know about Kamikawa-kun, if you're too silent, he might think you've rejected him and won't invite you again." Hayasaka didn't doubt this, "In his view, being silent and saying no are no different."
"It seems so."
Kaguya thought about it carefully and felt that Ren's usual behavior was exactly as Hayasaka had said earlier.
"Don't worry. Because he finally gathered the courage to invite me, I will respond to his courage naturally."
After sending back the edited message, Kaguya said proudly.
Shinomiya Kaguya: [I'm available on August 25th and can go to the fireworks show with you.]
'Actually, it's all my fault that he took the initiative to invite you to the fireworks party.'
Quietly sighing in her heart, Hayasaka said without changing her expression: "Then Kaguya-sama, I'll take care of other matters first. If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime."
"Alright."
Kaguya turned around, holding her phone and waiting for Ren's reply.
After leaving the room and closing the door, Hayasaka slowly walked towards her room.
"Fireworks show... It's such an interesting event. When can I go?"
After pondering this question for a moment, Hayasaka shook her head and cleared all thoughts about the fireworks show from her mind.
This matter had nothing to do with her, so she didn't need to waste time on it.
At least, it didn't concern her now.
...
Saturday morning.
"By the way, how are the gifts you prepared for them?"
As Ren was having breakfast, Asumi, still wearing an apron and hadn't taken it off yet, asked this question again.
"It's going very well."
Except for Yotsuba's gift, gifts for everyone else had been found.
"Since everything is going well, do you have free time tomorrow?" Asumi continued to ask.
"I do, what's up?"
Ren basically had free time every day, and besides, many gifts couldn't be given all at once and required time to prepare.
"Didn't we agree to celebrate the final exam results?" Asumi reminded, "Nino asked me to specifically ask you. If you have time, we'll celebrate it. The time is scheduled for tomorrow so she can make some preparations beforehand."
"No problem." Ren agreed.
It wouldn't be good to delay this matter any longer.
"In that case, I'll send a message to Nino and the others now."
Asumi took out her phone and started emailing them.
"Um."
Ren answered and continued to lower his head to eat.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"I'll open the door."
Asumi stopped Ren from getting up, put down her phone, and walked towards the door.
When she reached the door, Asumi opened it and saw Fumino standing in front of the door, holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in her hand.
"Good morning... Eh? Kominami-senpai?!"
When Fumino saw the door open, she wanted to greet Ren unconsciously, but she never expected that the one who opened the door was Asumi.
"Good morning, Fumino."
Seeing her reaction, Asumi smiled and greeted her.
"Good morning." Fumino calmed herself and asked hesitantly, "Senpai, why are you here at Kamikawa's house so early in the morning?"
"You can guess."
While opening the entrance, Asumi said with a smile.
"Excuse me."
Fumino entered the room and immediately saw Ren sitting at the dining table having breakfast.
Let's connect with the apron worn by Asumi.
She suddenly made a very bold guess.
"Senpai, could it be that you and Kamikawa are living together?"
Fumino expressed this guess with a somewhat complicated mood.
"Yes, your guess is correct." Asumi clapped her hands, "Kouhai-kun and I live together."
"By the way, we've actually been secretly dating for a long time."
"..."
Hearing this, Fumino's body suddenly seemed to freeze, unable to move at all.
"I really didn't expect that to happen."
After being silent for a long time, Fumino tried her best to smile and said reluctantly.
"It seems you believe it, Fumino."
Asumi was very satisfied with her reaction.
"Believe? What do you mean?"
Fumino felt her choice of words was a bit strange.
"Of course, the fact that I'm dating and living with Kouhai-kun is false." Asumi said the truth.
"Senpai, did you just lie to me?"
Fumino suddenly felt her whole body relax, even her voice unconsciously raised.
"Yes, I just lied to you." Asumi admitted, "Who said Fumino, your appearance just now was so cute that I couldn't help but want to tease you."
"And you didn't even doubt the truthfulness of my words, you just believed it. I have to say, Fumino, you're very easily fooled."
Fumino didn't say anything, and placed the gift box she brought on the dining table very embarrassedly.
Just now, it was because the impact of Asumi telling the truth was too big, which caused her to become a little stupid and not doubt at all.
"I'm usually quite smart."
A few moments later, Fumino defended herself.
"It's just that I accidentally got confused now, and that's why I was deceived by you."
