บท 352: I Thought You All Knew
The name Naoki sounded familiar. Have they heard it somewhere before?
Miku frowned. She knew it was Ren, but what happened with Naoki?
With such doubt, she continued listening to the conversation between Itsuki and the others.
Itsuki quickly finished explaining how she recognized Ren, omitting some less important details, such as certain contacts she had with him towards the end of the truth or dare.
The next one discussed was Yotsuba. Compared to Itsuki's various revelations, her explanation was much shorter.
She didn't mention that she and Ren had met about this incident five years ago; she only said that Ren inexplicably informed her about it and hoped she would keep it a secret.
"Did he tell you directly?" Ichika questioned Yotsuba's explanation.
Based on what she knew about Ren, he probably wouldn't tell others that he is Naoki. Even Ichika had to find convincing evidence to make him admit it firmly.
"Yes, I don't know why." Yotsuba nodded and chose to keep it hidden.
"This is a secret between him and me, and I don't want to talk about it, even though we are sisters." Yotsuba stated.
Ichika began to doubt Yotsuba: "It feels a bit suspicious."
"There's nothing suspicious about it. Besides, it's Kamikawa-san." Itsuki stood by Yotsuba's side, helping to explain. "Although I don't really want to say anything bad about Kamikawa-san, he often says some weird things or does something I don't understand, so I think it's reasonable if Kamikawa-san suddenly does something like this."
"You know Kamikawa-san very well." Ichika looked at Itsuki with a smile.
Itsuki tilted her head and explained casually, "We've known each other for a long time."
"If that's the case, then it makes sense."
After thinking for a moment, Ichika dispelled her doubts about Yotsuba.
The time she spent with Ren was much less compared to when Ren and Itsuki got to know each other. Since Itsuki said so, it meant that Yotsuba wasn't lying.
Seeing how easily she was deceived, Yotsuba couldn't believe it.
What she originally thought was that she would deliberately give a reason she knew was problematic after hearing it, and then they would see through it. Under suspicion and questioning, she would then provide another explanation she had prepared.
This way, the real reason could be kept secret.
What Yotsuba didn't expect was that a blatantly problematic reason would be accepted right away, and the explanation she eventually gave was useless.
Although a little disappointed, the result was good.
After Yotsuba finished talking, Ichika began to speak.
Of course, she only told how she knew the truth. As for what would happen to her later, she didn't say anything.
Anyway, Itsuki and Yotsuba had only discussed it until now, and she, as a sister, was no exception.
After Ichika finished speaking, the three of them silently stared at Miku, who had been silent from the beginning.
"Miku, it's your turn to speak."
Seeing that she had no intention of speaking, Yotsuba took the initiative to remind her.
"What did you say?" Miku blinked in confusion.
After listening for a while, she finally understood what the three of them were talking about, but she really didn't know what to say.
"How did you know that Kamikawa Naoki is Kamikawa Ren." Yotsuba said without beating around the bush.
The three of them had already said it, and now only Miku hadn't said it. She couldn't make an exception for something like this.
Miku nodded and said directly, "I just heard it from your conversation."
"Eh?"
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned.
"Meaning, you heard it from our conversation?" Itsuki suspiciously thought she misheard and hurriedly confirmed.
Miku said very seriously, "Yes, I just found out."
"It seems something is wrong."
After confirming, Itsuki suddenly realized something and panicked.
"Miku, before this, didn't you know that Kamikawa Naoki and Kamikawa Ren are the same person?" After taking several deep breaths, Ichika asked again.
"I remember Kamikawa Naoki is the one Nino likes, right? He even gave Nino a bracelet."
Miku ignored Ichika's question and instead started asking her own.
"..."
Seeing her like this, Ichika knew what situation Miku was experiencing.
"Don't move for now; let's discuss first."
After saying this to Miku, Ichika pulled Itsuki and Yotsuba away from Miku and began discussing in low voices.
"What's wrong with Miku? Why is she still listening to our conversation when she doesn't know?" Ichika felt a bit dizzy.
She had promised to keep Ren's secret, but now she told Miku about it, meaning she had broken her promise.
"I thought Miku knew Kamikawa-san would come, so I didn't say anything after seeing her come." Yotsuba reluctantly explained. She now also realized the problem.
Think about it; Nino doesn't know, Ichika knows, Itsuki knows, and she knows, so by this logic, Miku should also know.
But the result was that Miku didn't know.
"I want to remind you, but because none of you said anything about Miku, I thought you knew what happened to Miku, so I didn't say anything." Itsuki awkwardly explained.
After hearing the responses from both of them, Ichika sighed helplessly, unable to say anything.
Because she had the same thoughts as the two of them, and she thought they knew that Miku knew about it.
After composing her emotions, Ichika asked slowly, "Um... may I ask, did both of you also agree to help Kamikawa-san keep it a secret that he is Kamikawa Naoki?"
"Yes." Yotsuba admitted.
Itsuki replied in a low voice, "I didn't promise to keep this matter a secret, but I promised to help him keep the secret of his true appearance."
"We all promised similar things." Ichika said jokingly. "So now we're all guilty."
"True." Yotsuba agreed.
Itsuki said in surprise, "If you think about it, isn't my crime lighter than both of you?"
"Let's not discuss the seriousness of each other's crimes. Let's discuss how to handle Miku." Ichika didn't want Itsuki to understand this fact, so she brought up the topic of Miku.
