After thinking carefully for a moment, Ren couldn't think of anything and could only bury this question deep in his heart.
At the same time, he hoped that after this summer ended, he would understand the answer to this question.
However, he had no expectations for himself because he didn't even know what ordinary people would do.
Before he could wait too long, Fumino came out of the convenience store carrying two ice creams.
"Kamikawa-san, which one do you want? One is matcha flavor, and the other is chocolate."
Fumino raised two ice creams, signaling him to choose.
"This one."
After hesitating for a moment, Ren took the matcha ice cream from her hand.
"So, Kamikawa-san prefers matcha flavor?" Fumino nodded thoughtfully. "I thought you would choose chocolate."
"It's not that I like it; I'm just used to it." Ren explained. "If you want matcha, I can switch with you."
Because of Miku, he had been drinking matcha soda during this period, making him unconsciously choose matcha when picking flavors.
It could be said that it had become a habit.
"No, I can eat anything. I was just curious."
Fumino waved her hand and declined.
She just wanted to know his preference and didn't want to think too much about it.
"Alright."
Seeing that, Ren didn't say anything more and started eating the ice cream in his hand. His mouth felt cold from the sweetness of matcha.
"Let's eat while walking."
After looking around, Fumino suggested this.
In most cases, eating while walking on the street is considered impolite; it's best to finish the food on the side of the road before leaving.
However, considering Ren had to go home and for some of her own considerations, eating while walking was the best option.
"Sure."
Ren didn't mind her suggestion and continued walking home with her.
It was already very late, and he would surely escort her home.
"I feel like I'll gain weight after eating ice cream."
After licking a bit of chocolate ice cream in her hand, Fumino touched her stomach.
Ice cream is very high in calories.
Ren didn't say anything and focused on his ice cream.
He actually wanted to say something to answer that question, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of the right words, so he had to remain silent.
"Kamikawa-san, may I ask about your summer vacation plans?"
A few moments later, Fumino asked in a soft voice.
"Attend the fireworks show with Gabriel."
After swallowing the ice cream in his mouth, Ren answered honestly that this was the only arrangement he had for his summer vacation.
"The summer vacation ends when the fireworks show is held. What's the plan before that?"
Fumino asked about the fireworks show the last time, so there was no need to ask again now; what was more important was paying attention to his other arrangements.
"Wandering."
After thinking hard, Ren answered very seriously.
"Eh? Spend your summer vacation by strolling around?" Fumino asked incredulously, almost losing grip on the ice cream in her hand.
She naturally knew what Ren meant by wandering, which basically meant no plans at all.
"Yes."
Apart from attending the fireworks show, Ren had no other commitments, so wandering during the summer vacation was also a good choice.
"This..."
Even after confirmation, Fumino still felt unreal.
She initially thought Ren's summer vacation plans would be full; after all, he had a good relationship with Gabriel, Itsuki, and Miku, and they would surely take him to various places to play during this summer vacation.
Therefore, when she asked him about his summer vacation plans, she was already prepared that he might not have much free time, or very little.
What she didn't expect was that his summer vacation plans were completely empty.
In other words, could she invite Ren to play as much as she wanted during the summer vacation?
Suppressing her excitement, Fumino asked casually, "Do you want to go out and play with me during the summer vacation? I have no plans during the summer vacation. It's boring to stay at home all the time."
"Sure."
Ren agreed, then worried about another issue.
"Where should we go?"
"I haven't decided. Is there a place you'd like to go?"
Fumino had no idea for now and decided to listen to his ideas first.
"Seaside." Ren answered.
He had climbed mountains but hadn't been to the beach yet.
"It sounds nice, then... forget it, I actually don't want to go."
Just as Fumino was about to agree, she suddenly realized something. After lowering her head to make sure she could still see her toes without any obstacles, she abandoned the idea of going to the beach.
She wasn't suited to go to the beach, not suited in every way.
If she was on the same level as Rizu and Itsuki, she would definitely be happy to go to the beach. Unfortunately, her level was almost the same as Gabriel and Kaguya.
In this case, there was absolutely no desire to go to the beach.
And she would go to the beach with Ren.
"Oh, let's change the location."
Ren didn't care too much about her refusal, it didn't matter where he went.
"Don't rush to decide where to go. There's still time before the summer vacation, so you can think about it slowly." Fumino said with a laugh. "Make sure we go together during the summer vacation."
"Um."
"I'm going home now."
Seeing the villa in front of her, Fumino said a little helplessly.
This section of the road was too short, only taking a few minutes.
"Goodbye."
"Wait a moment, there's something I want to say to you."
Fumino stopped Ren, who turned around to leave.
"What's wrong?"
Ren stopped and looked at her again.
Was there something that needed his help?
"Is the ice cream delicious?" She asked softly.
"Delicious."
Ren commented while looking at the half-left ice cream in his hand as he spoke with her.
Fumino shook the ice cream in her hand towards him and said with a bright smile, "Because it's delicious, next time someone asks you about your opinion on summer, you can answer with ice cream rather than like now. If I ask you that, I can't think of anything to say."
"Ice cream?" Ren was stunned.
"Yes, I'm giving you ice cream!"
