"Can you wait for me here for a moment?"
After Ren sent Nino downstairs to her house, he heard her say this.
"Can."
After closing umbrella, Ren walked into the corridor.
He knew what Nino was going to do, so of course he wouldn't refuse.
"I will be right back."
After saying that, Nino took out the keys from her bag, hurriedly opened the door and ran in.
"Um."
Seeing her hurried figure, Ren took advantage of this waiting time to take out his cell phone to see if anyone had sent him a message.
Gabriel: [It's raining really hard outside, did you bring an umbrella? Do you need me to pick you up?]
As soon as Ren turned on the phone, Gabriel's email appeared.
Looking at the time he sent it, he saw that Gabriel had sent this email to him an hour ago, just as it started to rain heavily.
However, Ren didn't hear it because his cellphone was on silent at that time.
Kamikawa Ren: [I didn't bring it. Someone lent it to me, so I don't need it]
After quickly editing the email, he replied to her, and then he checked to see if anyone else had sent him a message, without thinking about waiting for a reply.
Because according to his understanding of Gabriel, she should be playing around now. Under normal circumstances, she would never have the energy to reply to his email...
Gabriel: [That's good. By the way, when you come back, remember to go to the convenience store and buy me a few packs of potato chips. The taste is definitely the same as the one we ate together last time]
As soon as he opened LINE, email came back, which surprised him.
Gabriel seemed to reply a little quickly.
Kamikawa Ren: [Okay]

"Can't this elevator be any faster?
Seeing the ever-changing floor display in the elevator, Nino felt annoyed.
The reason why she asked Naoki (Ren) to wait for her downstairs for a while was because she wanted to go home and take the dolphin doll he had prepared and give it to him.
Hence, she did not want him to wait too long.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator stopped on the 30th floor, and the doors slowly opened.
Nino immediately rushed out, opened the door to house, and went straight to her room on the second floor without having time to change her shoes.
"Ah, Nino, you're back. Let me tell you something. Today, Ichika..."
Seeing Nino who had just returned, Yotsuba ran over excitedly, wanting to share with her the interesting things that happened today.
"Let's talk later, I have something to do now."
Nino ignored Yotsuba's meaning, left those words behind and rushed upstairs.
"What's wrong with Nino?"
Yotsuba scratched her head and asked doubtfully to Ichika who was sitting on the sofa watching the show.
"What else is wrong? Have you forgotten what Nino said yesterday?"
As one of the makers of Nino's date plans last night, Ichika immediately saw where Nino's plans were now.
Currently, Itsuki was staying in the room to study, and Miku didn't know what to do in the room, so Ichika said it directly.
"Last night?"
As an observer who was making plans for a date, Yotsuba also remembered this after being reminded.
"Wait a minute, then, is Nino's boyfriend downstairs now, waiting for Nino to come down?"
"Looking at Nino's reaction just now, it should be true."
Ichika did not deny Yotsuba's words as a boyfriend.
According to her, according to Nino's developing strategy, it was only a matter of time before she could date that guy.
There was no need to waste time on something as trivial as correcting Yotsuba's speech errors.
"By the way, Ichika, do you know what Nino's boyfriend is like?"
This time, Yotsuba asked again.
"I don't know…" Ichika shook her head.
She always heard Nino say that the man was very handsome and a super handsome man, but so far she had never seen him with her own eyes.
"So you've never seen Ichika before?" Yotsuba looked a little surprised, "I thought you had seen it a long time ago."
"That's the boy Nino likes. Why can I go to see him?" Ichika yawned and said casually.
"That's right." Yotsuba nodded in agreement, "But, even so, aren't you curious at all?"
"A little, but aren't you more curious than me?"
As she spoke, Ichika changed topics and dropped the topic.
"Why do you say that?" Yotsuba was clearly confused.
"Because if you're not curious, why did you suddenly bring up the topic of what he looks like?" Ichika complained.
"Actually, I'm not that curious, just a little."
After expressing her true thoughts, Yotsuba used her thumb and index finger to make a small opening to explain.
"Then why don't you come down and see what the guy Nino likes is like?" Ichika then asked.
"Can we go down and watch?" Yotsuba hesitated, "Won't this make Nino angry?"
"No, don't worry." Ichika waved her hand indifferently, "That's Nino's future boyfriend. As Nino's sister, we will meet her sooner or later. To be able to help Nino check the situation."
"That's right." Yotsuba was convinced by Ichika's theory, "Then we should go down now..."
"After Nino comes down, we just follow her quietly."
This way, the two of them could also see whether Nino would take advantage of the opportunity to give the gift to do something intimate with a man named Kamikawa Naoki.
Like hugging, kissing, and so on.
This is very interesting.
As soon as Ichika finished speaking, Nino came out of her room holding a medium-sized gift box in her hands.
"I'll mop the floor again later. I have something to do now, so I'll go out first."
After descending the stairs and passing by Ichika and Yotsuba, Nino gave instructions.
While she was just getting her gifts in her room, she was also doing her makeup, which accidentally took too long, so she didn't even care to say anything to Ichika and Yotsuba, Nino just wanted to go downstairs.
"Let's go."
Seeing Nino leaving the house, after waiting for a while, Ichika greeted Yotsuba.
"Um."
Agreeing, Yotsuba and Ichika follow her silently.
······
"Sorry, Naoki, for making you wait so long."
After hiding in a corner to calm her troubled breathing from running so fast, and checking her hairstyle again, Nino walked out and returned to his side.
