"No need for thanks. Besides, Kamikawa-san often lends us notes."
Looking at the snacks in his hand, Itsuki waved her hand quickly and immediately refused.
When they agreed to help Ren take notes yesterday, they had no intention of asking him for anything in return, they just wanted to repay him.
"Yes."
Fumino gulped, turning her attention away from the snacks, and echoed.
"Reciprocity is reciprocity."
Ren was not persuaded by them and still insisted on distributing snacks to them.
He had received their thanks beforehand, so according to common sense, they should also receive his snacks.
Otherwise, he would have to find another way to express his gratitude.
"Since Kamikawa-san is so insistent, just accept it."
While winking at the three of them, Vigne took the initiative to take the snacks.
She still knew Ren quite well and knew what his general personality was like.
If they insisted on not accepting it, they might put Ren in trouble.
"Okay."
Hearing Vigne's words, Itsuki agreed and took the snacks.
Seeing this, Fumino and Rizu accepted some of the snacks that Ren gave them.
However, after Fumino took it, she said to him embarrassedly: "Um... Kamikawa-san, I just received the snacks, but I've lost weight recently, so I won't eat them, and let Ricchan and Yang others help with eating."
"Up to you."
Ren didn't care what they did with the snacks.
Because it has been accepted, it means that the ownership of the snacks does not belong to them, but to them.
Therefore, it no longer belonged to him, and he had no power to manage it.
"Thank You."
After saying this, Fumino hurriedly distributed the snacks in her hand to Rizu and the others, without leaving any for herself.
she was afraid that if she kept it, she couldn't help but eat it secretly.
"Fumino, are you really not eating at all?" Rizu asked a little worried, "I remember you didn't eat this morning."
"It doesn't matter, I've lost weight and I'm still hanging on."
Fumino tried her best to smile and sound as relaxed as possible.
"Okay."
After assessing Fumino, Rizu chose to believe her words.
She wasn't good at distinguishing between truth and falsehood, so since Fumino said so, she didn't need to doubt her.
"…"
Ren stared at Fumino for a long time, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.
He could feel that Fumino's physical condition was not good and much weaker than usual, was this also a side effect of losing weight?
As an Esper who had never lost weight, he did not understand this aspect.
However, Fumino said it was fine, so it should be fine.
······
Time arrived at noon in the blink of an eye.
"Come on, Kamikawa, let's go to the office."
After finishing lunch in the cafeteria, Gabriel called Ren to go to the office to look for Mafuyu.
"Okay."
Ren agreed.
"I'll wait for you to come back to class," Vigne smiled.
The three of them continued walking together for a while then went their separate ways.
"By the way, Kamikawa, do you know where the office is? I've never been to the office."
As Gabriel walked, she randomly found a topic and struck up a conversation with Ren.
"I know."
When Ren asked Gabriel for permission before, he went to the office once, and he still clearly remembered the location.
"Then you will be responsible for leading."
Gabriel nodded confidently. At certain times, Ren is still very reliable.
"Um."
Ren is still very good at leading, he could even be said to be experienced.
After taking a slight detour, Ren took Gabriel to the office door.
"This is the teacher's office. It feels a bit scary."
Looking at the office door, Gabriel sighed, then walked naturally behind Ren.
"Kamikawa, please knock on the door."
"Um."
Ren reached out and knocked on the door.
*Knock Knock*
"Please come in."
As soon as the door was knocked, Mafuyu's voice came from inside the room.
"Go in first, and I will follow you."
Gabriel pushed him gently, but she had no intention of taking any action.
"Um."
So, Ren immediately opened the door and entered.
Seeing Ren so firm, Gabriel hesitated for a moment before walking in carefully.
As soon as he entered the door, Ren saw Mafuyu sitting on the windowsill with her head down and he didn't know what she was writing.
"Hello Sensei."
After walking to her side, Ren waited for Gabriel to come too before he greeted her.
Mafuyu slowly raised her head and looked at Ren who was standing in front of her and Gabriel who was standing next to him.
As soon as her eyes swept over them, she took out a file from a drawer, considered it and said, "Sorry, this took up your lunch break."
"It doesn't matter. It's better to say that we disturbed your work, Kirisu Sensei."
Gabriel pretended to be a good student and answered obediently.
"…"
Mafuyu didn't answer, but looked at Gabriel a few more times.
(Oops)
After finding out that she was being targeted, Gabriel realized there was a big problem with what she had just said.
(Damn, is it because I haven't been a good student for a long time that I was exposed?)
"I won't talk about unnecessary nonsense, so as not to delay your class." Opening the folder and confirming it, Mafuyu went straight to the topic, "Kamikawa-san and Tenma-san, could you personally tell me the reason for requesting leave yesterday?"
"…"
Hearing this question, Gabriel immediately panicked.
Yesterday she only found out that Vigne had asked her to take leave, but she didn't know the reason for taking leave.
"Gabriel isn't feeling well, I have to look after her."
When Gabriel was confused, Ren stood up and explained the reason to the two of them.
"That's the right reason." Mafuyu frowned slightly, then asked, "Then Kamikawa-san, what is your relationship with Tenma-san?"
"Good friends," Ren answered without thinking.
"…"
Mafuyu closed the folder, looked at him and asked: "So, yesterday, Tenma-san wasn't feeling well. Do you care for her as a good friend?"
