How Many Gifts Have You Given?

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this." Ren apologized.

It was the first time he had heard about things like horoscopes.

"You don't need to apologize. Not everyone knows about horoscopes, let alone understands them."

Even though Ren didn't even know his own zodiac sign, which truly exceeded her expectations, there was no need to apologize.

"Um."

Now he could feel more at ease.

"So, do you like this gift?"

After resolving this matter, Fumino hoped to ask.

"You should answer honestly and don't lie."

"Yes, I like it."

Seeing his mini statue, illuminated by the Virgo constellation, Ren nodded enthusiastically.

The gift Fumino gave him was truly thoughtful.

He had no reason not to like it.

"As long as you like it."

After getting the answer she wanted, Fumino showed a bright smile.

"By the way, did you ask about my birthday earlier, which led to making this star map?"

Ren remembered when Fumino came to his house and asked about his birthday before leaving.

"Yes." Fumino explained, "Initially, I just wanted to get some random stars to decorate it, but after thinking about it, I felt that getting just a few stars was a bit haphazard, and then I thought of using a star map as your zodiac sign."

"Thank you so much."

Ren didn't expect that the gift Fumino prepared for him would be so thoughtful.

"You're welcome, it's an exchange of gifts." Fumino replied with a chuckle.

"By the way, Furuhashi, the gift I want to give you will take quite some time to be ready, so you'll have to wait a bit longer."

Thinking about the villa he had recently bought, Ren explained beforehand.

"That's okay, I can wait as long as I want." Fumino said nonchalantly, "But, after saying that, Kamikawa, can you reveal in advance what gift you want to give me? Let me anticipate it a bit."

"I can't."

Ren refused mercilessly.

If that were revealed to her beforehand, the surprise would be much less.

"Okay."

Fumino said a little disappointedly.

"But Kamikawa, you just said you wanted me to wait a bit, does that mean the gift you want to give me is also custom-made?"

"Kind of?"

Admitted Ren, thinking about the villa that hadn't been renovated yet.

A custom-renovated villa according to one's own needs could indeed be called custom-made.

A specially made villa was also a type of custom-made.

Fumino said very confidently, "In that case, I should be able to guess what you will give me."

First of all, Ren knew that she liked stars. Judging from what he said earlier, most likely he would give her something related to stars.

For example, a star bracelet, hair clip, or even an astronomical telescope.

But after adding adjustment points, there weren't many things that could be associated with stars anymore.

Therefore, what he would give her must be some customized products like star models.

"Did you guess it?"

Ren couldn't believe it.

A planetarium was something he had been thinking about for a long time.

"There are only a few options that could be given as gifts."

Fumino was very confident in her guess.

"Okay."

Upon careful thought, the chosen gift was indeed easily guessable.

Anyway, Fumino was very smart, much better than an ordinary person like him.

There was no reason why she couldn't think of things he could think of.

Just like the mini version of the figure she gave to himself, it was truly unexpected.

"However, I still can't determine what you will give me." Fumino added, "Of course, there is a possibility that I guessed wrong. Besides, I'm still very bad at guessing gifts."

"If your guess is correct, the surprise will be much less."

This was something Ren always cared about.

"If I keep thinking about it and just wait until you give it to me, it will be too difficult for me." Fumino said with a lot of pressure.

There was simply no way to control things like guessing that someone else would give a gift.

Especially if there was already a clear warning.

"True."

Ren agreed with her perspective.

Even he would try to guess what others would give him as gifts, but because of his ability, he couldn't guess it every time.

Fumino clapped her hands and immediately got a new idea: "In that case, as a substitute, Kamikawa, you can also try to guess what birthday gift I will give you. Start guessing now?"

"Guess now?" Ren was slightly surprised.

"I'm just guessing about the gift you'll give me." Fumino explained, "However, I haven't thought about what I want to give you yet."

"How can I guess it?"

"Because I think Kamikawa, you can guess it correctly." Fumino deliberately let it slip, "Anyway, the final gift must be related to you or something I think you will like."

"I feel like I just said nonsense."

"I'll try to guess it."

Because Fumino said so, Ren tried to guess.

"Actually, I feel like many people will give you gifts on your birthday, Kamikawa."

Fumino made a common estimate, and she felt Ren would receive at least ten birthday gifts.

If so, the gifts had to be prepared more carefully.

"I hope so." Ren asked, "On my birthday, will you come to participate?"

"Eh? Does this include Kamikawa, you already extended an invitation to me?" Fumino asked with a smile.

"Yes."

This was his invitation to Fumino.

"In that case, I agree. When it's your birthday, I'll definitely come to attend."

After Fumino agreed, she changed the subject of conversation.

"By the way, Kamikawa, how about the gifts you prepared for us? How many have been given? Or are they all still being prepared?" She was a little worried about this.

"Most of them are still being prepared. One has already been sent." Ren answered honestly.

Fumino asked, "One? Who is it for?"

"Ichika."

"In other words, Ichika is the first one among us to receive your gift?" Fumino confirmed this fact to him with a smile.
