章節 365: Fortunately, I Met You

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Fumino's unusual reaction, Ren looked at her and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I suddenly felt like I was ruining the atmosphere here." Fumino, noticing that Rizu was also looking at her, explained with embarrassment.

The two of them were eating a bowl of noodles together, and when she was next to them, she looked like someone who didn't have the vision to go out with a partner.

"Fumino's presence here doesn't spoil the atmosphere between us." Rizu didn't understand her words.

"I just feel that compared to you, it shows that I'm very skilled at eating."

Finding that both of them looked ridiculous and completely didn't understand the current situation, Fumino couldn't easily talk and could only use other things to fool them.

In this case, they turned out to be consistent. Both of them were basically naive types.

What is this?

A natural couple?

"No, the udon prepared for you is for one person, so don't worry about not being able to finish it." Rizu said very seriously.

"..."

Fumino didn't believe her explanation and just looked at the bowl of udon between the two of them.

If one person can eat it all, then why did Ren say he couldn't finish it?

Staring at the half-eaten udon in front of her, Fumino fell silent.

In this comparison, she looked very skilled at eating.

What if she said like Ren that she couldn't eat it?

As soon as that idea came up, she took the initiative to dismiss it.

Now that she has eaten this bowl of udon, it's impossible for her to eat it with Rizu like Ren, if she doesn't finish it, it will be wasted.

So Fumino had no choice but to keep eating noodles with tears streaming down.

Seeing her not speaking anymore, Rizu shifted her gaze and looked at Ren sitting across from her, feeling a bit puzzled for a moment.

"Is there something?"

Realizing that she seemed to be staring at him, Ren raised his head and turned, asking gently.

"Nothing."

After looking at him for a few seconds, Rizu quickly lowered her head and stopped looking at him.

"Oh."

Seeing this, Ren didn't ask again.

After finishing the noodles, due to time constraints, Ren and Fumino only sat for a while before choosing to leave.

"Thank you for the udon."

In front of the noodle shop, Fumino thanked Rizu and Father Ogata.

"If you like eating udon, you can come here often."

Father Ogata said something nice, and then reminded Ren, "And Kamikawa-san too, remember to come by yourself next time, I'll entertain you well if you do!"

This guy completely ignored his warning and ate udon with his precious daughter.

He was almost losing control of his emotions now and wanted to teach him a lesson.

If he dared to come alone in the future, don't blame him for being rude.

"No problem." Ren replied politely.

"Then we'll leave first."

After saying goodbye, Ren and Fumino left together.

"I'm so full. I accidentally ate too much."

After walking a bit, Fumino sighed softly while holding her stomach.

"Um."

Ren looked at the sky and found that the sky was really dark, and even the stars were hanging in the sky, so he quickened his pace.

On the way to Rizu's house, he had sent a message to Gabriel beforehand that he might come back later, that's why he was playing with his phone at that time.

It's just that now it's a bit late, exceeding the time he should have informed Gabriel in advance.

"Furuhashi-san?"

After walking a little further, Ren found that Fumino didn't follow him but stayed in her place, looking at the sky calmly.

"Ah, sorry, I got accidentally captivated."

When she heard Ren calling her, Fumino immediately snapped out of it and hurriedly caught up with him.

"I remember I told you before that I really like stars."

"Um."

Ren still knew about this.

"Every time I encounter a night with a beautiful starry sky, I can't help but look for the stars that resemble my late mother." Looking at the starry sky, Fumino said calmly.

Ren didn't speak, he just stared at the starry sky with her.

"Sorry, I unintentionally said unnecessary words."

Suddenly realizing something, Fumino explained in a panic.

"But, it can be considered as the beginning of my dream... That's why I hope to be involved in things related to stars in the future."

"I see." Ren nodded.

"But before, I always doubted whether I could do it. Besides, I don't know anything about science. Moreover, I entered this high school because of my talent in liberal arts."

Talking about this, Fumino smiled and looked at Ren.

"I'm very lucky to meet you, Kamikawa-san."

Ren: "😐"

In this situation, he didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.

"Kamikawa-san, let's go back quickly."

Seeing him stunned in place, Fumino didn't say anything else but urged him.

"Yes."

Considering Fumino was a girl and it was already very late, Ren told her to go home.

Fortunately, their homes were not too far away, so it didn't take much time after being sent home.

*Knock Knock*

Upon arriving in front of Gabriel's house, Ren knocked on the door gently.

Before he could wait too long, the door opened slightly. Gabriel stuck her head out, and after making sure that the person at the door was Ren, the door opened fully.

Seeing Ren entering the room, and when he took off his shoes, Gabriel complained very dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say you would come back later? But it's too late for you to come back now."

"Sorry, it took a long time to eat." Ren said.

"Did you have dinner outside?" Gabriel secretly looked at the food she had prepared in the kitchen, trying to sound as casual as possible, "Really, if that's the case, you should have said it earlier. It's quite troublesome to cook for two people, and I can't finish it myself..."

"But it's okay to eat again." Ren replied softly.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Quite a lot. Just wait, and I'll warm it up for you."

After saying that, Gabriel walked to the kitchen without looking back.

"Don't do this again next time."
