Itsuki talks about Ren

"Umh..."

After hearing Ichika's question, Itsuki was a little confused about how to answer.

"If you don't feel comfortable saying it, you can choose not to say it. We will not force you to answer."

Nino saw the embarrassment in Itsuki's expression and took the initiative to help her.

"Of course it's not troublesome." Itsuki paused for a moment and said slowly, "The fact that I was able to do well on the exam was actually all thanks to Kamikawa-san."

"Kamikawa-san?"

Yotsuba glanced at Nino subconsciously and observed her reaction.

"Is that Kamikawa-san from your class?" Nino ignored Yotsuba's strange look and confirmed it to her.

"Yeah, that's him," Itsuki nodded, "If he didn't help me with tutoring, my grades would still be the same as yours."

The reason why she did well in the exam was basically because Ren helped.

After all, she had studied very hard before, but her grades were still very poor.

And Ren just helped her with tutoring for more than a month and she was able to make such great progress, can imagine how big a role he played in it.

So much so that Itsuki felt embarrassed to say that she achieved this result through her own hard work.

"I know this, but the effect of the guidance is very good?"

Ichika remembered Itsuki had told her about tutoring before, but she didn't expect Ren's tutoring to be so effective.

"Were all these grades obtained with Kamikawa-san's help in tutoring?"

After staring at the transcript for a while, Miku looked at Itsuki, becoming worried about this.

"Yes, in every subject," Itsuki scratched her cheek awkwardly.

While Ren helps them with tutoring, Fumino only needs tutoring in science subjects, and Rizu only needs tutoring in liberal arts subjects. She was the only one who didn't know anything at first and was completely stupid.

Miku continued to ask: "Is it the same as history?"

"Yeah, and the history Kamikawa-san talked about was quite interesting and easy to listen to."

Even though she didn't know why Miku asked this question, Itsuki still explained it well and revealed a little about Ren's guidance.

Every time she listened to Ren talk about history, she felt it was a kind of pleasure. It was clearly just boring text in a book, but once it came out of his mouth, it became interesting, as if that period of history was in the book, and was just repeating itself in front of them.

It could be said to be quite effective.

"Oh."

Miku wasn't surprised by her answer.

From the process of chatting with Ren, she also learned that Ren had good knowledge of history.

The reason why she asked that was simply to hear Itsuki's opinion about Ren's level of history.

"Kamikawa-san is amazing!" Yotsuba said in amazement.

Even boring knowledge like history can be taught in an interesting way, he seems very good at it.

"Of course, and..."

Hearing her praise, Itsuki raised her head proudly, as if she person she was praising was herself, then spoke more about Ren.

"This..."

After listening for a while, Ichika was the first to realize something was wrong.

Itsuki wasn't like this in normal times. It was impossible to talk about a topic without finishing it, especially when most of Itsuki's words were about praising Ren, saying how great he was, and talking about how good Ren was.

She even mentioned some of Ren's habits, such as not wasting food.

It felt like a fan saying all kinds of things about the idol she admired.

"…"

Nino who is not interested in Ren, also notices Itsuki's abnormality.

Looking at each other in silence, they understood and did not interrupt Itsuki's story, instead continuing to listen, wanting to see what was happening to Itsuki.

Miku and Yotsuba listened very seriously, and Yotsuba also cooperated with her while sighing, showing her role as a spectator to the maximum.

In contrast, Miku listened very calmly and only occasionally asked about her interests.

Just when Itsuki was talking about getting up, there was the sound of the door opening from the other side.

Soon, they all realized that this was their father returning. Itsuki closed her mouth in time and sat obediently on the sofa. Others had similar reactions and seemed very serious.

As footsteps sounded, a cold-faced man in a suit slowly walked towards the living room.

[Translator's Note: The first man to appear in the story other than the protagonist]

"Dad."

After seeing their father, Nakano Maruo, they shouted together.

"Um."

Maruo sat down on the sofa next to them, and said, "I'm here today to see your results. The school has sent me your exam results."

"…"

Hearing his words, Ichika and the others didn't show any abnormalities, they just waited for their father to continue talking, after all they could already guess the reason.

"Among other things, Itsuki-kun's results surprised me. Can you tell me why you did so well on this exam?"

Maruo said unhurriedly, but although he was surprised, there was not the slightest surprise on his face.

"Oh yeah."

Seeing her father ask this, Itsuki panicked and repeated the reasons she had explained to her sister before.

"So, Itsuki-kun, the reason why you were able to pass the exam so well was because of Kamikawa-kun?" Maruo immediately understood the key point.

"That's right," Itsuki confirmed.

After getting confirmation from his daughter, Maruo seemed to be thinking about something and didn't speak for a while. This also made Itsuki and the others afraid to speak casually. They could just sit there waiting, not even playing with their cellphones.

"Then, please let Itsuki-kun tell Kamikawa-kun that I want to meet him." After a moment of silence, Maruo continued.

"Eh? Okay."

Even though she didn't know what her father wanted to do with Ren, Itsuki still agreed.

"I will send you the meeting location via email."

After saying that, Maruo stood up and walked towards the door, preparing to leave, he had no intention of staying here for a long time.

"Go now?"

After confirming that her father had just left, Ichika said in disbelief.

Nino said hesitantly: "Really?"
