Absolutely Unpleasant!

"Sure."

Ren took fork and pointed it towards the chocolate cake that had just been served.

And as they both tasted the dessert, Yotsuba and Itsuki, not far away, were also communicating quietly at the moment.

"Why are Nino and Ren-san here too?" Yotsuba said sadly.

"I don't know, but they must be here for a date."

After discreetly glancing at Ren over there, Itsuki said decisively.

"I can see something like that too."

Shallow facts like that didn't need explaining from Itsuki.

Recalling the earlier incident, Itsuki was very emotional: "But it's very dangerous now. I almost called out Kamikawa-kun's name."

"I almost did the same. I didn't even know what to call him." Yotsuba repeated, "Luckily, Nino didn't notice anything strange about us."

Suddenly seeing Ren without glasses, it was very easy for people not to react.

"Actually, Nino has already noticed that there's something wrong with our reactions."

Itsuki vividly remembered Nino's questioning words.

"It seems so." Yotsuba said happily, "But luckily, Nino didn't realize that Ren-san is Kamikawa Naoki because of us."

"True."

After being responded to like this, Itsuki continued: "However, I always feel that if this continues, it will be very bad for Nino."

"I think so too. But if Ren-san doesn't want to tell Nino, there's nothing we can do."

They had promised to keep this secret, so it was unlikely they would take the initiative to tell Nino all of this.

"I still hope that Kamikawa-kun has an idea to tell Nino earlier." Itsuki hoped so.

At the same time, on Ren and Nino's side.

"Naoki, how does the chocolate cake taste?" Nino asked for his opinion.

"Not bad."

Ren couldn't find any fancy adjectives, so he could only answer with the simplest words.

Nino looked at him hopefully, smiled, and asked, "Can I try it?"

"Sure."

Ren didn't mind. However, as he was about to push the plate in front of him, Nino opened her mouth.

Seeing this scene, Ren understood her intention, so he cut a small piece of cake and brought it to her mouth with the fork.

"Ah—"

After eating the cake he fed her in one bite, Nino squinted her eyes with joy.

After swallowing it, she smiled and agreed: "The cake in this shop is really good."

"Yes. Do you still want more?"

After cutting another small piece of cake, Ren continued to ask.

"I do."

It was his initiative to feed her, how could she refuse?

While waiting for the dessert they ordered to be served, Itsuki observed the interaction between Ren and Nino, and reminded her: "Yotsuba, look at Nino."

"What's wrong? Is there something... Huh?"

Seeing Nino being served food by Ren, Yotsuba's unfinished words got stuck in her throat.

After spending a short time suppressing the delicate emotions that arose, she asked with a smile: "Itsuki, are you jealous?"

"I-I'm not jealous!" Itsuki denied vehemently, "I'm just being fed by Kamikawa-kun, there's nothing to be concerned about."

"I always feel like I've heard that statement somewhere before."

Yotsuba tried her best to remember what she had just said, but she only felt familiar and couldn't remember who said it.

Itsuki changed the topic of conversation: "Alright, don't keep looking at them. It'll be bad if Nino catches us peeking."

"But didn't you look over there earlier? Then you noticed Ren-san feeding Nino cake." Yotsuba complained.

"I saw it accidentally. How could I keep looking over there."

Itsuki explained in a panic and saw the waiter walking towards their side.

"Don't talk about this. Our dessert is here."

"Alright."

Yotsuba didn't say anything else.

(What are they talking about secretly?)

After holding the straw in her mouth and sipping her juice, Nino was very curious about the conversation between Yotsuba and Itsuki.

Because when she was being fed by him, she noticed both of them sneaking glances at her from the corner of her eye, and after that, both of them also frequently looked at her.

Feeling spied on by her sisters was really unpleasant.

And most importantly, she couldn't say anything yet.

"I'm done eating."

After finishing the coffee he ordered, Ren put down the cup.

"I'm almost done eating too."

Nino, who regained her consciousness, said the same thing when she saw most of the desserts left in front of her.

She only chatted, and didn't eat much of the desserts she ordered, but only tasted them.

But that was enough.

She wasn't a big eater like Itsuki, and she could get full with just a little dessert.

After calling the waiter to pay, Ren asked, "So what do we do next?"

"Let's take a walk. It's not good to sit in the dessert shop all the time."

Even though the temperature outside was very hot and not suitable for hanging out, Nino still made that decision so she could continue holding hands with him.

"Yes." Ren agreed.

He really liked taking walks.

After leaving their seats and walking out of the dessert shop with Nino, his hand naturally held hers.

Then, just like before, they intertwined their fingers.

"Let's go there and look around first."

Feeling the coolness of his palm, Nino randomly chose a direction and suggested to him.

It didn't matter where they went, as long as they went together.

"Um."

So Ren held her hand.

"Itsuki, Nino seems to be holding hands with Ren-san."

Through the window, seeing the two people walking away while holding hands, Yotsuba reminded Itsuki.

"This problem has nothing to do with us."

Itsuki naturally looked at the scene now, but she seemed unconcerned.

"That's right."

Hearing this, Yotsuba shifted her gaze and asked them a related question: "What do you think of the desserts in this shop?"

"Not good, not good at all." Itsuki muttered, "Especially this chocolate cake, it's the worst."
