After Fumino left, Ren opened his bedroom curtains again and also placed the statue of himself version on the table.
"What should I do now?"
After ensuring that there was nothing wrong with its placement, Ren began to think.
Because Fumino had previously explained the reason why she wanted to come to give him a gift, he didn't plan on doing anything else this afternoon.
As a result, she arrived less than an hour later and left after delivering the gift, which suddenly took up a lot of his afternoon time.
"Should I go out for a walk? Or should I continue practicing?"
That's what Ren thought.
"It's better to go out for a walk."
Coincidentally, he might not have been out for a long time.
With this thought in mind, Ren changed his clothes, put on glasses, and walked out of the house.
"A water park..."
As he walked, Ren was a little worried about the words Fumino had just uttered.
Because this was also a place he had never visited before.
And previously, the place he wanted to go didn't include this location.
Especially because he had never heard of it before.
"Want to find someone to accompany me?"
As this idea popped into Ren's mind, he firmly rejected it.
Because he didn't have enough time.
There were quite a few things he had to do now, like teaching Asumi, practicing making meat bread, learning to make board games, and going for walks, all of which took up a lot of time.
This prevented him from spending time in a place like that for the time being.
"The life of an ordinary person is indeed very difficult."
Thinking about this, Ren sighed.
······
At the same time, the Nakano family.
"Miku, Itsuki, Fumino knows that we lied to her and said that the gift had been given to Ren-san."
Yotsuba hurriedly ran downstairs with her phone in hand, shouting to Itsuki, who was sitting on the sofa eating meat bread, and Miku, who was being taught by Nino in the kitchen.
"Eh? How does Fumino know?"
Itsuki swallowed the meat bread in her mouth and asked curiously.
"Because Fumino has already given the gift to Ren-san, then asked him directly." Yotsuba looked at the chat interface between herself and Fumino, then concluded, "And she also said that when we meet again later. When the time comes, she must give us a lesson."
"It's okay, there are five of us, and she can't beat us alone." Itsuki replied confidently, "Plus, you can conquer Fumino with just Yotsuba."
"Let me state it first, you four, don't include me in it."
Nino came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and corrected Itsuki's mistake.
"Also, when did you become so mean, Itsuki, that you learned to oppress Fumino?"
"Because I think it would be fun to oppress Fumino." Itsuki explained seriously.
After thinking about it, she added, "However, Ichika intends to deceive Fumino and say that we have given the gift to Kamikawa."
"There's no need to say things like this for everyone to know."
For things like this, there's no need to guess that it's Ichika's bad idea.
"We will definitely apologize to Fumino at that time."
This time, Miku also wore an apron, came out carrying plates, and placed the plates on the dining table.
What Itsuki just said sounded like a joke.
Never think about it.
"When Fumino wants to give me a lesson, I won't refuse." Yotsuba was mentally prepared.
"It's better to think about how to apologize to Fumino."
Itsuki's choice differed from Yotsuba's, as she still hoped to be taught less.
"How about blaming Ichika? After all, it was her idea."
Nino looked at that excitement and gave her advice without taking it too seriously.
"Maybe Ichika will be the first to file a lawsuit, saying that we forced her to deceive Fumino."
Itsuki had no doubts about how bad Ichika was.
"It's a possibility." Miku agreed.
"Actually, it seems like Fumino has already forgiven us."
As they discussed how to apologize to Fumino, Yotsuba raised her head and spoke in a slightly soft tone.
"What happened?"
Itsuki quickly turned around to look at Yotsuba.
"I just apologized to her on LINE, and Fumino said it's okay, and also said not to lie to her next time."
Yotsuba showed them the chat interface between herself and Fumino.
"It seems like Fumino has let you off."
After reading it, Nino looked slightly disappointed.
"I'm still waiting for you to be taught by Fumino."
"You just said that I'm a bad learner, aren't you even worse?" Itsuki said dissatisfiedly.
"It's okay, it's not important."
Nino replied nonchalantly.
"By the way, Yotsuba, ask Fumino what gift she gave to Ren?"
"Ah, okay."
Yotsuba immediately typed and asked.
After a while, she raised her head and delivered Fumino's answer: "She said that as punishment for us deceiving her, the gift she gave to Ren-san is kept secret, and it's impossible for her to tell us what it is."
"And she also said that Ren-san really likes the gift she gave him."
"Is Fumino showing off to us?"
After careful analysis, Itsuki came to this conclusion.
If she wasn't specifically showing off, she would have just said the first sentence, there was no need to add the last sentence.
Because she didn't mention the type of gift, even though she knew Ren really liked it, she couldn't make references based on this.
"Probably."
Yotsuba didn't deny Itsuki's judgment.
"I feel like I can't get the gift I want to give to Kamikawa-kun." Itsuki said somewhat embarrassedly.
Pressed by Fumino's showing off, she began to worry that her gift would not be liked by Ren.
Moreover, in front of her was a gift from Fumino as a comparison that made her even more worried.
"This is Fumino's psychological tactic. Now you know how difficult it is."
Seeing Itsuki's worried expression, Nino said arrogantly.
She didn't need to give a gift to Ren, so she didn't need to worry about it.
"Tomorrow... No, the day after tomorrow, I will give my gift to Ren."
Miku was silent for a moment, then made a decision and explained it to them.
