It shouldn't be possible, right?
Miku has no contact with Ren, so how could she fall in love with him?
However, thinking about Miku's previous experience of taking the initiative to help him collect exercises after class, Ichika suddenly felt that it wasn't impossible.
It's worth noting that Miku had never helped collect exercises after school before, but suddenly she did, and she seemed like she wouldn't stop until she finished.
If she truly likes Ren, Miku's character seems to be what she would do.
Otherwise, there's no way to explain Miku's slightly strange behavior.
Wait, if this is the issue, something seems off.
Thinking about this, Ichika suddenly realized that something was off.
First of all, Nino clearly likes Ren, but she doesn't know that Ren and Naoki are the same person. Itsuki also said that she cares a lot about him. If Miku also likes him, something is bound to happen.
Seriously, is Ren so charming? He really makes her sisters like him.
Thinking like this, Ichika looked at Ren sitting on the sofa holding a glass of water and chatting with Itsuki.
But when she looked at Ren, she couldn't help but think of how he said to her, "I will support the future you decide for yourself" without wearing glasses during the day.
Thinking about this, her cheeks turned slightly red.
She seems to understand why her sisters like him.
After all, wouldn't it be normal for people to like Ren?
Fortunately, Yotsuba doesn't like him, or everything would end.
After thinking about this issue for a while, Ichika realized and stopped thinking about it again.
In short, let's pretend she doesn't know anything; otherwise, something will happen now.
Ichika will talk about the future later. Anyway, don't get into trouble now.
There, after being persuaded by several people, Ren finally gave up continuing the lesson and let him rest properly.
"However, since there is no more tutoring, what should we do now?"
After successfully convincing Ren, Fumino asked the others.
Right now, they were all listening to his lecture, but now Ren wasn't giving a lecture, and Fumino couldn't think of anything suitable to do for the time being.
Can they go home now?
"How about having a casual chat? It's the right time for us to get to know each other."
Hearing her question, Ichika suddenly got an idea and suggested it.
"Sounds good." Itsuki agreed to the proposal.
Her sister and Fumino sometimes chatted after the lesson, which wasn't just an acquaintance. She certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity for them to get to know each other.
"Okay." Miku raised her head and looked at Ren, agreeing.
If it's just a regular chat, then she can meet him to chat or something, so there's no need to refuse something like this.
"I don't mind." Asumi didn't mind because of this. It's good to take a break once in a while, especially after getting rid of salary problems.
Lately, the others agreed to the suggestion.
After making sure it's a casual chat, everyone became relaxed.
Just because they couldn't find a topic to talk about for a while, they didn't know what to say to open a topic, so they could only say a few irrelevant words to lighten the mood.
Miku saw Ren looking disturbed, and since no one was talking to him, she planned to go there and chat with him.
Although they talked almost every day through the phone, they still couldn't miss the chance to chat face to face.
But before she could get up, Ichika stood up first and sat next to Ren.
Seeing this scene, Miku was stunned and had to give up the idea of finding him and turned to listen to what Nino and Yotsuba were talking about.
Ichika's action also attracted the attention of others, but no one said anything; they just kept staring at the two of them.
Feeling their gaze, Ichika's mood suddenly felt a bit subtle.
Didn't she just chat with Ren? Is there a need to be defensive?
In this case, it seems she has to talk about some interesting content.
"Kamikawa-san."
Seeing Ren looking a bit confused because she sat next to him, Ichika said softly.
"Yes." Ren asked, "What's up?"
"It's nothing. I just want to ask if you have someone you like." Ichika smiled and asked directly.
When she asked this question, the voices of others suddenly disappeared, and the living room suddenly became silent.
(Impossible?)
Ichika took advantage of the opportunity to observe the reactions of others and then quickly realized that something was wrong.
Because except for Nino, everyone turned and focused their attention on Ren and her.
Yotsuba, whom she initially thought had nothing to do with Ren, also looked very worried.
Something is wrong; something is wrong.
"What's wrong?"
Nino looked at Yotsuba, who suddenly stopped talking in the middle of a sentence, and asked with confusion.
There are others too, why aren't they saying anything?
"No, it's nothing."
After hearing Nino's reminder, Yotsuba shifted her gaze, explained awkwardly, and started talking about the topic she hadn't finished talking about earlier.
It's just that her voice is much softer than before, and she seems a bit confused.
The others also continued to chat, but unconsciously lowered their voices.
"None."
After carefully considering the question she asked herself, Ren answered honestly.
Until now, he has never liked anyone.
As for Gabriel, she is his good friend; how could he like his good friend?
Moreover, he doesn't know what it feels like to like someone, let alone liking someone else.
"I see."
Ichika felt as if she knew something bad, answering with embarrassment.
She regretted coming to chat with Ren, especially asking such a sensitive question.
But the problem has reached this point, and there's nothing she can do.
Glancing at the others secretly, she found that their moods were clearly much more relaxed than before.
So, Ichika then asked, "So, Kamikawa-san, what type of girl do you like?"
