บท 431: You Can Also Call Me Ren
"I find it easy to call him that way."
After adjusting her headphone position, Miku lowered her head and casually replied.
"Easy?"
Her answer was slightly unexpected for them.
For a moment, they weren't sure if that's what she meant.
"R-Ren."
Itsuki hesitated, wanting to give it a try.
"Um."
Upon hearing someone call his name, Ren instinctively responded.
"Sorry, I was just trying, not really calling you." Itsuki apologized hastily.
"It's okay."
After confirming that Itsuki had no connection with him, Ren shifted his gaze.
"How does it feel? Does it flow smoothly?"
Ichika asked curiously after seeing her try it.
"On the contrary, it still feels awkward." Itsuki described her feelings with a very subtle tone.
"Does this mean Miku was lying?" Nino looked at Miku, who still had her head down.
"Maybe because you're used to calling him Kamikawa-san." At that moment, Asumi suddenly interjected, "You used to call him Kamikawa-san, but now you suddenly changed the title; of course, you'd feel very awkward."
"Seems like it." Fumino agreed, "Besides, we're already used to that name, and it's still difficult to change it."
Seeing her so cooperative, Asumi looked at her with admiration and then said, "If you don't believe it, all of you can try and see if it feels awkward to suddenly change someone's name."
"Itsuki, try calling me Ichika-san." Ichika suggested.
"Okay, Ichika...san."
Itsuki unconsciously wanted to call her Ichika, but fortunately, she reacted in time and added the suffix "san."
"How is it? Isn't it awkward?" Asumi asked.
"It's quite awkward." Itsuki nodded vigorously, "There's no way to get used to it."
She has been calling Ichika that since she was little, so now it's nearly impossible for her to add the suffix.
"So that's it." Yotsuba seemed to suddenly understand.
"However, it's a bit strange that he easily agreed to Miku calling him Ren." Nino posed her own question.
"If you want, you can call me Ren; I don't mind." Ren said.
As long as it's not a weird title, he would accept it.
Just like when Chika asked him to be her assistant, he agreed.
"Then forget it; I don't want to be misunderstood." Hearing that, Nino immediately distanced herself from him and sat far away.
"In other words, if we want, we can call you Ren?" Asumi asked.
Ren admitted, "Yes."
"Now everything makes sense. Since Kamikawa-san doesn't mind being called by others, Miku chose the most comfortable name." Ichika concluded, "Right, Miku?"
"...Um."
After a moment of silence, Miku answered softly.
"Sigh..."
Hearing her agreement, Ichika finally sighed in relief.
She almost got into big trouble, but fortunately, she managed to handle it.
Thinking about this, Ichika looked towards Asumi, but it turned out she was also staring at her.
They locked eyes for a few seconds and then simultaneously turned away in silent understanding without any communication.
"Okay, let's play this table game; it's the perfect time to see if the table game produced by the Table Game Club is fun." Ichika changed the topic.
Because of what happened to Miku just now, Ichika no longer touched on the topic of Yotsuba and Ren, so as not to bring back the situation that almost got out of control earlier.
"Yes."
Rizu initially wanted to say something, immediately abandoning the idea of raising doubts once she heard they were going to play a table game.
After some discussion, as this was their first time playing, despite having the instruction manual, they might still not fully understand the reasons for how to play it. Therefore, Ichika and Asumi jointly acted as referees and explained the rules.
In short, both of them had no idea about this table game, but considering some people might not understand the rules, they were responsible for reminding and guiding them.
"It's amazing that the table game club can create a table game suitable for many people."
After placing the map and chess pieces representing each person, Rizu gave high praise.
"Why do I feel like I'm playing Monopoly?"
Looking at a map similar to Monopoly, Nino commented.
"It's very similar, but the game instructions say you can't buy houses. You have to earn money by triggering events. The person who survives until the end with the most money is the winner."
Ichika introduced the rules. Although everyone had read the instructions when choosing chess pieces, she still emphasized it to ensure nothing was unclear.
"No wonder there are so many event grids."
Nino casually commented and led in rolling the dice.
"Then I'll start it."
The order had just been decided, and she won the first place.
With a casual throw, the dice spun for a moment before stopping.
"Two."
Speaking while moving two steps with the chess piece in her hand, Nino triggered the luck box, "Please choose an odd number from one to ten and get the card."
After reading the event above, Nino casually said, "I choose five."
"Here."
Asumi found the luck card representing five and handed it to her.
"Peach Blossom Card: Your love luck will increase rapidly; your marriage rate will increase rapidly, and your death rate will slightly increase. Please be careful."
After seeing the effect of this card, Nino felt very satisfied.
"This is a pretty good card. It seems I'm quite lucky."
"That's true." Ichika glanced at the specific description of this card in the manual, "As long as you have this card, no matter what happens, you'll get married, and you'll receive a big financial blessing."
"Eh? Is Nino getting married? So fast!" Yotsuba was very surprised.
Nino explained helplessly, "It's just a table game!"
"Oh, I almost forgot." Yotsuba finally realized.
"It's Kamikawa-san's turn to throw."
Perhaps reminded after seeing the order.
Taking the dice, Ren casually threw it.
"Two points, as lucky as Nino." Yotsuba said.
"In that case, you choose one. Five can't be selected anymore." Ichika reminded.
"Three."
Ren randomly chose one.
"Peach Blossom Card: Your luck in love will increase rapidly, your marriage rate will increase rapidly, and your death rate will slightly increase. Please be careful."
After receiving the card from Asumi, Ren showed the effect of the card.
"Why does the death rate increase?"
Looking at the effect of this card, Ren was very confused.
