Chika: Helping you live with Tenma-san
"No."
Ren answered firmly.
"Eh? Is it true?"
Chika looked surprised.
She clearly heard the conversation between Ren and Gabriel just now.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren put the chopped onions into a bowl and handed it over.
It was precisely because of that that she thought the two of them were lovers and asked that question.
"Um."
Ren thought for a moment and tried hard to explain: "Gabriel and I are good friends."
"So like that."
Chika nodded.
Even though the reason Ren gave wasn't that good, if he insisted on explaining it like this, there were still many reasonable reasons.
"So, are you and Tenma-san really just good friends?" Chika is still skeptical.
She had seen him take off his glasses. It could be said that Ren and Gabriel are a perfect couple. Plus, they usually stay together. It was hard for her to believe that their relationship was just good friends.
"We are good friends," Ren was quite sure of this.
"...Okay."
Chika gave up on the question, then changed the topic, lowered her voice, leaned close to him and asked: "Then do you have thoughts like that about Tenma-san?"
"What kind of thinking?"
Ren didn't understand what Chika meant at all.
He is not very good at communicating with other people, especially conversations that involve guessing.
"I want to be with her."
After checking the surroundings, Chika's voice became quieter.
"...No."
Ren hesitated for a moment before answering.
He had a similar idea before, but he gave up.
"Real or fake?"
Chika looked at Ren in disbelief.
"Have you never thought about that?"
"…"
Ren was silent.
Seeing his reaction, Chika's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked: "You have actually experienced this?"
"…"
Ren remained silent.
(Please, tell me, or I'll die of curiosity!)
At this time, Chika had forgotten the idea of revenge on Ren, and her mind was now filled with gossip about Ren and Gabriel.
"And I will definitely keep it a secret for you. I promise I won't tell anyone else, I swear."
"Has."
Ren finally admitted it.
He always felt that if he didn't say anything, Chika would definitely continue to bother him.
"Then do you need my help?" Chika followed closely.
"What kind of help?"
Ren asked confusedly.
He didn't need anyone's help right now.
"I'm just helping you get together with Tenma-san," Chika said with interest, "Don't you like Tenma-san?"
"Like?" Ren was full of doubts.
When did he say that he liked Gabriel?
"Don't worry, I'm a love detective. As long as I take action, I guarantee you can be with her." Chika didn't know where that confidence came from, and she said something incredible.
"No need," Ren firmly refused.
"Eh? Why?" Chika was stunned, "Don't you want to be with Tenma-san?"
"I have given up."
Ren answered honestly.
"How can you just give up like that!" Chika felt angry.
She almost thought of a battle plan, but when Ren gave up, all her plans went down the drain.
"Sorry..."
Ren hesitantly apologized.
"Forget it, I forgive you," Chika waved her hand, "But compared to this, I'm more curious about why you chose to give up?"
"Because she is my good friend," Ren answered calmly.
"???"
Chika wondered if she had heard wrong.
What kind of good friend is a reason to give up?
How ridiculous...
Suddenly Chika suddenly remembered something, turned her head and glanced at Kaguya who was still making hamburger meat, then she immediately understood it.
"What a good reason."
Chika patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"Okay, I'll help Kaguya-san, let's stop talking here. If you have any questions about love in the future, you can come to me."
After saying that, Chika returned to Kaguya and continued working with her.
"In love?"
Ren didn't understand this.
So, he should ask her for advice in the future?
"Fujiwara-san, what were you talking about with Kamikawa-kun just now? It looks quite lively," Asked Kaguya pretending to be casual.
She was still very curious about what Chika and Ren would say. After all, Ren had too many mysteries, and he didn't look like an ordinary person at all.
So, she planned to try talking to Chika to see if she could get any useful information.
"Sorry, I promised Kamikawa-kun to keep this question a secret, so I can't talk about it," Chika answered with a smile.
"...Um, it's okay."
······
In the afternoon, lunch break.
"Kamikawa-san, please come here."
On his way home from the bathroom, Ren was suddenly stopped by someone.
Looking towards the source of the sound, he saw Vigne standing at the top of the stairs waving at him, gesturing for him to come closer.
"Kamikawa-san, what gift would you like to give Gab on her birthday?"
As soon as Ren arrived, Vigne asked quickly.
"Birthday?"
Ren didn't react.
"Don't you know Gab's birthday?"
Seeing his reaction, Vigne could only make guesses.
"Um."
Ren doesn't know Gabriel's birthday.
Because Gabriel never told him that.
"Gab's birthday is April 20th, which is this Wednesday," Vigne introduced, "You're supposed to give Gab a gift?"
"Will do."
As Gabriel's good friend, Ren would definitely give her a gift.
"Then what will you give?" Vigne's question changed again.
"Don't know."
Ren answered calmly.
He had only received birthday gifts before, but he had never given them to anyone else.
Therefore, he didn't know what to give.
"Actually, I don't know what to give as a gift." Vigne clasped her hands together and asked, "So, I was wondering if I could ask you to ask Gab if there was anything she wanted lately, and then I could buy it for her."
