178 Another meeting with Shinomiya Kaguya

"Okay."

Fumino wasn't surprised by Gabriel's refusal.

Because Gabriel had never agreed to an invitation to study with them before.

So being rejected again this time was in line with her expectations.

Anyway, as long as Ren agrees.

"I will return to my seat first. If you need anything, remember to call me."

Gabriel returned to her seat.

"Then let's discuss when to hold the study meeting."

Fumino looked at the people who were still here.

"Good."

Vigne seemed very enthusiastic about the study meeting and agreed to it cooperatively.

"Yes," Ren answered softly.

Because his seat was in front of Itsuki, Ren immediately sat in his chair and turned his body to the side so he could hear what they were saying.

Soon enough, discussions about the study meeting began.

After a heated discussion, the final decision was made to hold a study meeting at Fumino's house on May 1st.

During this discussion, Ren remained silent as before, only listening to their discussions and decisions and not participating in any discussions, lest he accidentally say something outrageous.

Of course, if they asked him a question, he answered it anyway, and that was that.

The discussion ended and it was time for class.

The first class on Monday morning is usually a class meeting led by Mafuyu.

Today is no exception.

The theme of this class meeting is very simple, it only discusses holidays and exams, it also explains the importance of these exams and hopes that students can study well.

But for some reason, when Mafuyu said that this exam was very important, Ren could clearly feel Itsuki behind him trembling, as if she was afraid of something.

The others had different reactions, some were nervous, some hated exams like Gabriel, and some were callous and didn't care.

This made Ren feel very interesting.

After all, there are very few opportunities to see so many different reactions at once.

With the end of the class meeting, the expectations that had originally arisen in the class due to the holidays were erased by this exam.

Nowadays it is no longer a lively scene.

At this moment, Ren's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Hayasaka Ai: [Kamikawa-kun, do you have time during the day today?]

Taking out his cell phone, Ren looked at the LINE message that Hayasaka had sent him.

...

At the same time, class A of 1st year had also just finished their class meeting and were discussing the contents of the class meeting that had just been delivered by the teacher.

Currently, Hayasaka was chatting with a classmate she knew while placing one hand under the table to operate her cell phone.

After promising to help Kaguya and Ren create a chance to meet, Hayasaka begins her own actions on her first day back at school.

After all, this is a task given by Kaguya, and must be completed as soon as possible.

"Let's go out and play together during this Golden Week. After all, it is a seven-day holiday." The girl next to she smiled and talked about the holiday, seeming to be looking forward to her.

"Yeah, even if we're out for four or five days, we still have two days to review it. That's enough time," Another girl agreed.

"I probably don't have time for this –" Hayasaka pretended to have a headache and ran a hand through her hair, her tone slightly apologetic, "After all, it's a golden holiday. The place where I work is very busy, so I might not be able to make time."

As a maid of the Shinomiya family, there is no concept of Golden Week holidays.

Not to mention, she has time to go out and play.

"Eh? Do you have to work the full seven days? This is too heavy."

Hearing this, the girl next to her expressed her concern.

"You should at least rest. Your body definitely won't be able to work continuously," Said another girl who was in the same boat.

"I will try my best."

In response to their concern for her, Hayasaka lowered her head and looked at her cell phone to see if Ren had replied to her message.

Kamikawa Ren: [I have time]

After seeing the message, Hayasaka immediately sent the message she had been thinking about.

Hayasaka Ai: [Okay, Kamikawa-kun, after lunch, can you come to the sports warehouse? Kaguya-sama has something to say to you]

Since the other party was Ren, who already knew of her relationship with Kaguya, there was no need to take the trouble to create a coincidental event, as it was too deliberate and easy to see through.

Instead of that, it's better to send the invitation directly.

Not only is it fast, the preparation also doesn't take long.

Moreover, based on her analysis of Ren's previous conversation, it seemed that this direct approach was more effective, and an indirect invitation would only result in some inexplicable replies.

Not long after the message was sent, it came back.

Kamikawa Ren: [Okay]

Hayasaka Ai: [Thank you very much, Kamikawa-san]

Kamikawa Ren: [You're welcome]

After sending these words, Ren put his cell phone away and continued observing the humans in the classroom.

······

Time passed and it was noon.

"I'm going out for a moment."

After eating the bento prepared with Gabriel in class, Ren stood up.

"Oh."

Gabriel responded casually and without asking anything else.

According to her, Ren did nothing more than go to the toilet.

After leaving the classroom, Ren went straight to the sports warehouse.

A big reason why he agreed to Hayasaka's invitation to him was because he was curious about what Kaguya wanted to do to him.

Maybe she needed help with something?

After all, the last time they met, he told Kaguya that if she needed help, she could come to him.

The distance between the teaching building and the sports warehouse was quite far, and it took quite a long time to get there.

After standing in front of the sports warehouse door and waiting for a while, Kaguya rushed over slowly.

"Good afternoon, Kamikawa-kun."

Kaguya took the initiative to greet him.

"Good afternoon."

"Sorry for making me wait so long, Kamikawa-kun."

Although her words were an apology, Kaguya's tone was still very calm, and no apology could be heard.

"Does not matter."

Ren didn't care about this.

"That's good." Kaguya nodded slightly, her eyes stayed on her glasses for a while, then she pointed to the sports warehouse door and said, "But before explaining the matter, let's go in first, it's safer inside, you're not afraid of anyone seeing you."
