Bab 401: Does She Like Kamikawa Ren?

Miku had never been in a hurry before, especially for something that didn't require urgency at all.

Her sudden enthusiasm raised Nino's suspicion.

"It's nothing, I just want to learn to cook as soon as possible."

Seeing Nino, Miku chose to hide it.

Besides, she couldn't reveal her intention to cook for Ren, especially in front of Nino.

Even though Nino still didn't know the fact that Ren was Naoki, if she found out, she would be killed by her, right?

"I always feel like you have hidden motives." Nino didn't believe Miku's explanation at all.

Later that evening, Miku looked sad and seemed to have given up, but at night she was full of motivation; surely something happened in between.

"What can I do? I just want to learn something so I don't know nothing in the future."

Facing Nino's question, Miku gave a random reason and planned to deceive her.

After looking at Miku suspiciously, Nino casually guessed, "Maybe you like someone and want to make a bento for them?"

"...Who do you think I would like?"

Miku didn't expect Nino to be so perceptive and immediately guess her thoughts, but fortunately, she controlled her expression very well and showed no abnormalities.

Thinking about Ren's usually expressionless face, Miku imitated it and hid her true emotions.

"Kamikawa Ren?"

After thinking for a moment, Nino mentioned that name and observed Miku's reaction.

"..."

Miku didn't speak or show any expression, just stared at Nino.

"Okay, I think I overthought it."

Realizing that she didn't react to that name, Nino knew that she must have guessed wrong.

Because, according to Miku's character, if she did like Ren, she should be embarrassed or deny it. But none of these reactions occurred, which meant Miku didn't like him.

"Yes." Miku answered softly, then asked, "Can you start teaching me how to cook tomorrow?"

"Sure."

Because she was very eager to learn to cook, Nino had no reason to refuse.

"Then I'll go back first."

After leaving those words, Miku turned around and went back to her room.

"Sigh..."

As soon as she closed the door, Miku couldn't control her expression at all.

Just now, when Nino said that she liked Ren, she could hardly hold it back, but fortunately, Nino didn't intend to talk more about it, so she quickly changed the topic.

Otherwise, she would have been exposed directly.

Maintaining an expressionless face was indeed useful.

She learned something useful from it, and she would do the same when facing such situations in the future.

After her mood had calmed down a lot, Miku lay back on the bed, with Ren's figure filling her mind.

Does she like Ren?

Thinking about Nino's recent guess, Miku began to ponder this issue.

Honestly, she didn't know the answer to this question.

Lifting her phone, opening LINE, clicking on the chat history between her and Ren, and scrolling up.

For "Anecdotes from the Warring States Period." she had exchanged contact information with him a long time ago.

Now she had finished reading the book and returned it to the library, but her connection with Ren never broke.

From the beginning, she only talked about the history of the Warring States Period and the Warring States Game that she was interested in. Now she could talk about anything, it could be said that it had been a long time.

Just like now, she could freely tell her weaknesses without worrying about anything.

How she put it, Ren was not a competent chat partner because he couldn't reply to messages in seconds, often taking a long time to respond. Even in chats, he often replied very slowly. It made her think that he was doing something else.

The only advantage was that Ren would reply to every message she sent. No matter what content she sent or how many messages she sent, Ren would reply to all of them, not just the last message.

Miku liked what Ren did.

Because he had sent her multiple messages without getting a timely response, she felt a little disappointed, but when she thought that Ren would reply after seeing them, she felt much better.

After sliding the screen and randomly finding a chat record, Miku read it with great interest.
